International sales of U.S. military equipment and services in fiscal 2015 reached an overall total of $47.085 billion.

The Defense Security Cooperation Agency, which manages U.S. Security Cooperation programs, said the government-to-government Foreign Military Sales program accounted for $35.359 billion of the total.

The remainder -- $11.726 billion – was the result of sales completed through the use of U.S. government appropriations under a variety of other Department of Defense programs, including the Foreign Military Financing program.

"The Security Cooperation enterprise continues to refine how we most effectively and efficiently utilize our resources to address our partners' needs while ensuring alignment with our national security and foreign policy objectives," said DSCA Director VADM Joseph Rixey. "This includes both synchronizing our priorities, activities, and resources, as well as enabling more responsive industry participation in the FMS process to ensure we remain the provider of choice for our foreign partners.

"The FY15 sales total underscores the progress we are making towards these efforts, the quality of product, and our goal of remaining the provider of choice for our foreign partners."

DSCA said the demand for U.S. defense systems remains strong as partner nations -- particularly in Asia, Latin America and Middle East -- seek to modernize and expand military capabilities.

Making a rare public show of rejecting a law, Obama said the text agreed by the Republican-controlled Congress "falls woefully short" in key areas. Obama said the bill did "a number of good things," including refo ... read more
