Saudi Arabian National Guard Modernization through U. S. Army Project Management

Abstract

This report outlines the development and organization of the Project Manager's Office for the modernization of the Saudi Arabian National Guard. It lays out the managing of the program through FMS sales cases to include materials, construction and contract training of the National Guard Units by a U. S. contractor. Examples are given of the modernized units organization and of equipment and costs associated with the program. A pattern is described for a new type of military assistance through U.S. Army management and U.S. civilian contractors. Data was gathered using U.S. Government official records and records of the Government of Saudi Arabia, personal interviews and on site experience of the author. The effects of political and press pressures are examined as they affect the continuation of the United States influence in Saudi Arabia.
