Abstract
The Technical Assistance Field Team (TAFT) concept is
a relatively new method of providing military services to
foreign countries under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS)
program. Because of this newness, the policies and procedures
governing the deployment of an U.S. Army TAFT are
still being formulated and revised. One such area is pricing.
This document provides a brief overview of FMS,
including the purposes, authority, and responsibilities for
its administration. The authorized usage and pricing involved
in the deployment of an U.S. Army TAFT are discussed. This
study attempts to consolidate and/or provide methods that
may be used to price TAFT deployments. Because of the lack
of sufficient data in several areas, the pricing methods
discussed are conservatively biased. Recommendations are
presented to refine further the price estimation methods
discussed.
