Eligibility and Scope of Sale
Two questions that are settled before any of the process begins, and are answered by statute rather than by policy. Three pieces on how a country becomes eligible and how it stops being eligible, what the program will sell and on what terms, and the short list of things it will not sell at all.
Three pieces in this topic
Who may buy, and how eligibility works
Four findings, one institutional rule, and a published list of ways a country can lose the right to buy.
02What may be purchased, and on what terms
The condition of what arrives, the support that outlives American service, and the items that move only one way.
03What may not be purchased, and the exceptions
A short list of genuine bans, a longer list of approval gates, and the test that decides what counts as a police unit.
