Pricing for U.S. Army Technical Assistance Field Teams (TAFT).

Abstract

The Technical Assistance Field Team (TAFT) concept is a relatively new method of providing military services to foreign countries under the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program. Because of this newness, the policies and procedures governing the deployment of an U.S. Army TAFT are still being formulated and revised. One such area is pricing. This document provides a brief overview of FMS, including the purposes, authority, and responsibilities for its administration. The authorized usage and pricing involved in the deployment of an U.S. Army TAFT are discussed. This study attempts to consolidate and/or provide methods that may be used to price TAFT deployments. Because of the lack of sufficient data in several areas, the pricing methods discussed are conservatively biased. Recommendations are presented to refine further the price estimation methods discussed. (Author)
