Official Descriptions of Aid from Foreign Military Financing
Document: FY 2008 Supplemental Appropriations Spending Plan
Country: Central America Regional, Panama, El Salvador, Costa Rica
Peace and Security ($4 million)
FMF funds will be used to refurbish up to three 82-ft patrol boats and up to four 25-ft go-fast interceptor boats and provide up to three 33-ft interceptor boats and a command, control and .communications package to the Costa Rican Coast Guard. The communications package will allow not only for better communications among Costa Rican Coast-Guard entities, but would also allow facilitate combined operations with the U.S. and regional forces. This communications capability, along with refurbished and new boats will greatly enhance Costa Rica's patrol and surveillance capabilities strengthening both national and regional security. FMF funds will also be used to provide follow-on training to Panama for boat maintenance training and for upgrades and training for communications system provided as part of the Enduring Friendship program. Finally, FMF funds will be used to provide an initial command and control package to El Salvador as the first step to implement the Enduring Friendship maritime security program.
Document: FY 2008 Supplemental Appropriations Spending Plan
Country: Mexico
Peace and Security ($116.5 million)
FMF funds will be used to purchase up to two CASA 235 aircraft, up to five BH- 412 medium lift utility helicopters, and ion scanners to support efforts of the Mexican Navy (SEMAR) and Mexican Army/Air Force (SEDENA) to control their national territory and the southern approach to the United States.
The CASA 235 maritime patrol aircraft will complement SEMAR's existing fleet of aircraft and planned purchase of additional aircraft, and will enhance SEMAR's ability to conduct long-range maritime patrols. These aircraft, both existing and planned, will enable SEMAR to conduct maritime surveillance over the eastern Pacific Ocean and the western Caribbean Sea thereby increasing the GOM's maritime domain awareness. The CASA 235 patrol aircraft will also provide SEMAR's surveillance and coordination functions, increasing its capability to seize illicit cargo and deny the use of Mexican waters to transnational criminals and terrorists. In addition to up to two aircraft, the package provided will include logistics support (primarily spare parts and limited technical support) for three years. Funding will also support transition training (training for experienced pilots to fly a new type of aircraft) for Mexican pilots.
The BH-412 helicopters will provide mobility support to SEDENA for a variety of missions, including counterterrorism and counternarcotics operations. The helicopters will be equipped for day and night flight, and will improve SEDENA's ability to quickly deploy forces to establish security needed for successful interdiction of arms, drugs, and persons. In addition to providing up to five helicopters, funds will also be used to provide a logistics support package (primarily spare parts and limited technical support) for two years for the new aircraft and possibly four GOM-owned helicopters already in service. Funding will also support transition training (training for experienced pilots to fly a new type of aircraft) for Mexican pilots.
The ion scanners will be used by SEDENA to help detect illicit drug and arms trafficking through remote areas of Mexico and will support the GOM's effort to mount a robust interdiction system via land routes. The ion scanners are molecular detectors capable of identifying both explosives and narcotics. These devices assist in making rapid, preliminary assessments of suspicious items that security forces could encounter while conducting routine or counternarcotics/counterterrorism operations. The provision of ion scanners will contribute to the effectiveness of the GOM's comprehensive interdiction strategy and support the expansion of non-intrusive inspection equipment operations throughout the country's interior. In addition to the scanners, funding will provide a standard maintenance package for the ion scanners.

Country: Western Hemisphere Regional
A significant tool for building capacity is the Foreign Military Financing (FMF) program. FMF represents a powerful method of supporting military relationships, ensuring interoperability of equipment in coalition operations, regional cooperation, and developing partner nations’ response capability to mutual threats and challenges. Although U.S. Southern Command’s focus region covers one-sixth of the globe and represents a region with significant linkages and shared challenges with the United States, FMF to this region in 2007 amounted to a slight fraction of the worldwide total. The FMF we did receive was spent on critical capacity building programs with our partners.

ENDURING FRIENDSHIP (EF) — a multi-year maritime security assistance program that enhances the capability of select Central American and Caribbean partner nations to patrol their sovereign waters and share information. EF provides interceptor boats, operation and maintenance training, command and control systems, and a common operating picture to improve maritime domain awareness and interoperability. This key program shares U.S. information on illicit traffickers and builds or improves partner nations’ ability to detect and interdict illicit trafficking along their shores.
Document: Congressional Budget Justification for Foreign Operations
Country: Caribbean Regional
Operation Enduring Friendship (OEF) is a multi-year, multinational, regional maritime security multilateral initiative to stop terrorists and other transnational criminals who use Caribbean waters. U.S. assistance will help strengthen partner nations' operational capabilities to anticipate and respond to maritime threats, emergencies, and natural disasters.
Document: Congressional Budget Justification for Foreign Operations
Country: Colombia
Highlight: Support the Government of Colombia?s efforts to expand control of its national territory, but the focus will shift to the training and maintenance capabilities needed by the Colombian military to sustain its forces and operations. Assistance will also support Colombia?s efforts to reform its military establishment.
Foreign Military Financing:
Program DescriptionThe State Department's Bureau of Political-Military Affairs sets policy for the FMF program, while the Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA), within the Defense Department, manages it on a day-to-day basis. Security Assistance Organizations (SAOs), military personnel in U.S. embassies overseas, play a key role in managing FMF within recipient countries. Some FMF pays for SAO salaries and operational costs. Congress appropriates funds for FMF through the yearly Foreign Operations Appropriations Act.
FMF exists primarily to fund arms transfers, as military training is normally granted through the International Military Education and Training (IMET) program. However, FMF does support a good deal of training. According to the State and Defense Departments' Foreign Military Training Report (FMTR), FMF funded the training of 1,905 Latin American security-force personnel (out of 22,855 region-wide) in 2003.
During the 1980s FMF was an important funding mechanism for U.S. military assistance to Central America. In the 1990s use of FMF in Latin America was minimal. FMF for Latin America is now rising dramatically. In 2001, $4.9 million was provided to seven Latin American countries. The Bush Administration gave $119.6 million in FMF to fourteen countries (plus an Eastern Caribbean regional fund) in 2004. The largest share, $98.45 million for Colombia, supports protection of an oil pipeline and an anti-guerrilla military offensive known as "Plan Patriota," among other initiatives.
In 2006, FMF funded the launch of "Operation Enduring Friendship," a naval cooperation program that the Bush Administration has carried out in the Caribbean.
