This research examines the status of the United States
(U.S.) Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program within the
context of the current ever-changing domestic and global
security environment. Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities
and Threats (SWOT) analysis was used to analyze: the
information gathered from the literature review; the
importance of various players (domestic and international
competitors, interests groups, decision-makers); and the
general environment (global security and the economic
environment that shape the National Security Strategy
(NSS)). The study concludes that the U.S FMS program has
evolved slowly because of the nature of the arms export
business and the constraints imposed by the National
Security Strategy. Recommendations for improving the FMS
program are provided.
