FMS vs. DCS from State
Perspective

AECA gives President discretion to designate
items FMS only

DCS- Fewer policy challenges due to commercial nature of
transactions DoD validates release of technology
 No USG guarantee on items/program as with FMS

FMS- Many challenges due to military technology and political
concerns
 Internal PM and T bureau processes
 State - NSC processes
 State - DoD consultation process
 Congress and the interagency

USG is ‘neutral’ in FMS vs. DCS
