Centralized Preparation of Letters of Offer and Acceptance.

Abstract

Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOA) preparation in the Army is neither centralized nor standardized. Only a few segments of the overall process utilize modern computer technology. This report discusses the positive and negative impacts of centrally preparing Foreign Military Sales LOA. Options are presented that incorporate varying degrees of centralization and/or automation. The author recommends changes to enhance the Army LOA preparation procedures and identifies potential problem areas that must be considered. Keywords include: Foreign Military Sales, Security Assistance, Letter of Offer and Acceptance (DD 1513).
