Pentagon Training Fees Shortchanged Foreign Buyers
The GAO says the Pentagon undercharges foreign governments for training personnel on U S supplied weapons, violating the Arms Export Control Act. FY 1975 undercharges include Army 18.7 million, Air Force 11.7 million, Navy 2.7 million, and Marine Corps none. Deputy Defense Secretary Clements notes fees were lowered after 1976 and that training supports broader defense sales and strategic benefits.
