The US State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to Kuwait for continuation of C-17 logistics support services and equipment. The estimated cost is $342,6 million. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress of this possible sale on 12 October 2017. 

The Government of Kuwait has requested three years (with an option for two additional years) of follow-on support of two C-17 aircraft. Kuwait’s current FMS contract supporting its C-17’s expired in September of 2017.
