¶1. (S) Summary. Post welcomes the opportunity to address the issue of including Yemen,s Central Security
Force-Counter-Terrorism Unit (CSF-CTU) in Yemen,s FY 05, 06, and 07 Foreign Military Financing allocations. Post assesses that the inclusion of the CSF-CTU in FMF is an essential element in supporting Yemen as a partner in the GWOT. Reallocating scarce FMF dollars away from the Ministry of
Defense and its components, to the Ministry of Interior,s CSF-CTU
¶2. (S) Post assesses that the use of FMF to equip the CSF-CTU is absolutely essential. RMAS has already ceased providing equipment to the CSF-CTU. Without a replacement-funding source, replenishment of worn-out equipment and acquisition of additional gear will cease...
The Department of Defense currently provides training to the CSF-CTU in the form of a continuing Mobile Training Team and occasional Joint Combined Exercise Training (JCET) teams. Using FMF funds to equip the CSF-CTU allows the equipping and training of the CSF-CTU to remain in the Embassy and under the purview of the Embassy,s Office of Military Cooperation.
¶3. (S) The recommended change in funding strategy will have a minimal effect on Yemen,s MOD. There are several reasons for this:
*Yemen,s MOD has traditionally relied on national funds, usually spent on Russian or other Eastern European sourced equipment, for the majority of its Defense procurement. *Yemen MOD,s procurement effort is very unsophisticated, and has until recently, not fully utilized its annual FMF allocation, but rather built up a sizeable &unallocated8 balance.
*Yemen MOD does not have a Defense acquisition strategy, but is given to &impulse buying8 when it realizes it has options other than national funds
