US Military Grant to Lebanon Passes 2.5 Billion Dollars
May 26, 2021
According to the statement made by the US State Department, the cost of defense equipment and support to be donated to Lebanon is planned to be 120 million dollars this year, while 105 million dollars were provided for the same purpose last year.
In addition to the grant, which increased by $ 15 million compared to 2020, the two countries currently have an arms supply agreement of $ 1.83 billion. The US has made more than $ 2.5 billion in grants to the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) since 2006, according to the ministry's announcement.
It was noted that more than 6,000 personnel of the LAF have been trained in the USA since 1970. In December 2017, the US Department of Defense announced a $ 120 million grant package to provide "close air support capacity" to the LAF.
To improve the LAF's combat logistics capability, the US also announced a tactical wheeled vehicle family grant costing more than $ 45 million.
