Hundreds of corporations,
big and small, comprise
the U.S. war industry. Nonstop war is a very profitable racket. What
follows are the contracting announcements issued during April 2023.
FOREIGN MILITARY SALES (FMS)
– The two main ways that the U.S. war
industry sells weaponry to foreign governments are foreign military sales (FMS) and
direct commercial sales (DCS).
In FMS, the U.S. government acts as the intermediary between the corporation
and the foreign government. DCS are
negotiated privately between foreign governments and U.S. corporations. The
State Department’s Bureau of Political-Military Affairs
is in charge of issuing the export licenses for DCS. The U.S. war industry leads
the world in arms sales. It pitches such sales as advantageous to the Pentagon
in terms of economies of scale (i.e. sales to other countries bring down the
price per unit) and as helping allies to become interoperable with the U.S.
military.
