This report provides background data on United States arms sales agreements with and deliveries
to its major purchasers during calendar years 1999-2006. In a series of data tables, it lists the
total dollar values of U.S. government-to-government arms sales agreements with its top five
purchasers in five specific regions of the world for three specific periods: 1999-2002, 2003-2006,
and 2006 alone, and the total dollar values of U.S. arms deliveries to its top five purchasers in
those same regions for the periods 1999-2002, 2003-2006, and for 2006 alone. In addition, the
report provides data tables listing the total dollar values of U.S. government-to-government arms
agreements with and deliveries to its top 10 purchasers worldwide for the periods 1999-2002,
2003-2006, and for 2006 alone.
This report is prepared in conjunction with the annual CRS report for Congress entitled CRS
Report RL34187, Conventional Arms Transfers to Developing Nations, 1999-2006, by Richard F.
Grimmett. That report details both U.S. and foreign arms transfer activities globally and provides
analysis of arms trade trends. The intent here is to complement that elaborate worldwide
treatment of the international arms trade by providing only the dollar values of U.S. arms sales
agreements with and delivery values to its leading customers, by geographic region, for the
calendar years 1999-2002, 2003-2006, and 2006. Unlike CRS Report RL34187, Conventional
Arms Transfers to Developing Nations, 1999-2006, this annual report focuses exclusively on U.S.
arms sales and provides the specific names of the major U.S. arms customers, by region, together
with the total dollar values of their arms purchases or deliveries. This report will not be updated.

T his report provides background data on U.S. arms sales agreements with and deliveries to
its major purchasers during calendar years 1999-2006. It provides the total dollar values of
U.S. arms agreements with its top five purchasers in five specific regions of the world for
the periods 1999-2002, 2003-2006, and for 2006, and the total dollar values of U.S. arms
deliveries to its top five purchasers in five specific regions for those same years. In addition, the
report provides a listing of the total dollar values of U.S. arms agreements with and deliveries to
its top 10 purchasers for the periods 1999-2002, 2003-2006, and for 2006. The data are official,
unclassified, United States Defense Department figures compiled by the Defense Security
Cooperation Agency (DSCA), unless otherwise indicated. The data have been restructured for this
report by DSCA from a fiscal year format to a calendar year format. Thus a year in this report
covers the period from January 1-December 31, and not the fiscal year period from October 1-
September 30.1
The following regional tables (Tables 1-5) provide the total dollar values of all U.S. defense
articles and defense services sold to the top five purchasers in each region indicated for the
calendar year(s) noted. These values represent the total value of all government-to-government
agreements actually concluded between the United States and the foreign purchaser under the
Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program during the calendar year(s) indicated.2 In Table 6, the total
dollar values of all U.S. defense articles and defense services sold to the top 10 purchasers
worldwide is provided for calendar year period noted. All totals are expressed as current U.S.
dollars.

The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) publishes an annual volume providing these data in a fiscal year
format. This publication is titled Foreign Military Sales, Foreign Military Construction Sales, and Military Assistance
Facts. It provides detailed U.S. annual transactions with countries and international organizations for the most recent
ten fiscal years, as of the date of publication, as well as aggregate data for these transactions since FY1950. See DSCA
website for this data under DSCA Facts Book at http://www.dsca.osd.mil/. For detailed worldwide arms transfer data
for U.S. and foreign suppliers and recipients, see CRS Report RL34187, Conventional Arms Transfers to Developing
Nations, 1999-2006, by Richard F. Grimmett.

Current U.S. law and regulations do not require U.S. companies to provide, routinely and systematically, data on arms
sales agreements actually concluded with foreign purchasers resulting from commercial licenses authorized by the U.S.
State Department. Thus, with one very notable exception relating to the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) in 2000, the
agreement data in the following tables do not include the values of U.S. licensed commercial sales.
