U.S. Monitoring of Defense Articles Provided to Foreign Countries

Abstract

The U.S. Government has been providing military assistance of some type to foreign countries for more than 100 years. After World War II, the U.S. Military Assistance Program (MAP) was quite large and remained large for some years because of wartime pledges and the rise of communism. By the end of the Korean conflict, the United States was providing large amounts of military assistance each year to countries in Europe and the Far East. In fiscal year 1972, the Administration began submitting its request for military assistance to the Congress under the caption of Security Assistance Program. This program encompasses both the traditional MAP and the newer Foreign Military Sales program.
