Summary:

The defense industry and foreign governments have expressed a high level of concern over the restrictions on cross-border defense trade. The Department of Defense (DOD) developed many initiatives to increase cooperation in the defense trade and improve relations with foreign countries. DOD, in developing its initiatives, relied on incomplete data and did not do the necessary analysis to determine the causes of the underlying problems that the new initiatives were supposed to resolve. It is unclear whether DOD's initiatives will: (1) improve the ability of U.S. and foreign forces to work together during wartime, and (2) reduce the gap in military capabilities between the United States and its allies.
