(MTVs)without winch; 2.5-ton M1078A2 MTVs without winch; spare and repair parts; publications and technical documentation; personnel training and training equipment; technical, and logistics support services; and other related elements of logistics and program support. The estimated total cost is $90.5 million. This proposed sale will support the foreign policy and national security of the United States (U.S.) by improving the security of a partner country that continues to be an important force for political stability and economic progress in the Middle East. The proposed sale will improve Lebanon's capability to meet current and future threats by enabling Lebanese Armed Forces to rapidly engage and defeat perimeter security threats and readily employ counter and anti-terrorism measures. A highly mobile and medium tactical vehicle capability will enable additional military-to-military tactics and operational training between the U.S. and Lebanon. Lebanon will have no difficulty absorbing these articles and services into its armed forces. The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region. The principal contractor will be Oshkosh Defense, located in Oshkosh, WI. At this time, the U.S. Government is not aware of any offset agreement proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor. Implementation of this proposed sale will not require the assignment of any additional U.S. Government or contractor representatives to Lebanon. There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale. [FR Doc. 2026-02533 Filed 2-6-26; 8:45 am]
