註釋

In June 2022, U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin directed the Department of Defense (DoD) to identify potential improvements to the delivery of defense capabilities to international security partners through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) system. The FMS Tiger Team, co-led by the Deputy Under Secretary for Policy and the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, identified specific challenges within the FMS system and proposed solutions aligned to strategic outcomes sought by the National Defense Strategy to improve capability delivery to allies and partners. That effort revealed that roles, responsibilities, and authorities (RRA) issues can contribute to timeliness and efficiency problems. As a result, the Deputy Secretary of Defense directed the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) to engage the RAND National Security Research Division to conduct research aimed at (1) articulating how RRA challenges impede the FMS process and (2) developing recommendations to address them. To do this, the authors reviewed the laws, policies, authorities, and related guidance that govern the process to gain a baseline understanding of how FMS functions on paper. They also reviewed past reform efforts and interviewed more than 100 FMS stakeholders with over 1,300 work years of collective experience within the security assistance (SA) community to better understand how the process works in practice.
