Security Assistance Ammunition Program -- Helping Allies Help Themselves

摘要

The Security Assistance Ammunition Program (SAAP) was founded on, and remains today, an invaluable instrument of U.S. foreign policy. The arms trade and related services are reaching enormous dimensions and involve most nations as sellers, providers, buyers or recipients. At the U.S. Army Joint Munitions Command (JMC), security assistance is the means by which the U.S. government seeks to achieve national security and foreign policy objectives by enabling allied and friendly nations to acquire and maintain the capability to defend themselves. JMC provides the ammunition and equipment that allows our allies to carry out this objective.
