SUBJECT :

Rescinding DSCA Policy 12-13, Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Cases for Iraq that Include Charges for In-Country Security Assistance Teams (SATs), DSCA Policy 12-67

DSCA Policy 12-13 provided guidance on recovering USG-incurred costs of operations and activities of SATs funded on Iraq FMS cases pursuant to P.L. 112-81, Section 1215(e) of this law, which required that all Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOAs) offered to Iraq must include charges sufficient to recover the USG-incurred costs of SAT operations and activities.

This provision has expired, and the guidance provided by DSCA Policy 12-13 is hereby rescinded. The SAT Support Line and SAT MASL should no longer be used. Instead all funds necessary to fully sustain any SAT in Iraq should be incorporated into the appropriate contractor line of the case.

All implemented cases containing the SAT Support Line must be adjusted to remove the line and make residual funds available to the appropriate contractor support line of the case. Implementing Agencies are authorized to address residual funding on the SAT line through a Modification with no change to the overall case value, or to incorporate the change into another Amendment if one is anticipated within the next 120 days.

Implemented cases that may be adjusted through a Modification are:

This policy applies to all future Iraq cases containing SATs including those currently in development. Applicable costing and planning factors on all future cases will be coordinated to address specific requirements and transition timelines.

Questions regarding this policy should be directed to COL Martin Perryman, DSCA/OPS/ME, at (703) 601-3834 or e-mail: martin.perryman@dsca.mil, or, for questions about the SAMM, please contact Mike Slack, DSCA/STR/POL, at (703) 601-3842 or e-mail: michael.slack@dsca.mil. Implementing Agencies should disseminate this policy to supporting activities.
