1. On July 18, the Armenian MoD delivered a letter of
request for equipment to be funded by FMF. This request,
which is for deployable medical support equipment, has the
support of the country team. It is part of Armenia's
overall effort to establish a deployable peacekeeping
brigade, in support Armenia's overall effort in the War on
Terrorism. It is also supports US policy objectives and
meets the spirit and intent of the FMF program. This
equipment is identical to equipment used by Armenia's state
partner, Kansas, and fits into niche capabilities identified
in Armenia's Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP) with
NATO.


2. Request from the Armenian Ministry of Defense. Text
follows:

On behalf of the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of
Armenia I present my complements to the Office of Defense
Cooperation in the US Embassy in Armenia and I would like to
send you the list of equipment which the ministry of Defense
of the Republic of Armenia wishes to be purchased by the FMF
funds. The above mentioned equipment is planned for the
Peacekeeping Brigade, which is going to be established, and
the calculations are made based on the structure and number
of personnel planned for the Brigade.

Please examine the attached list, check the availability of
that equipment for the Republic of Armenia, as well as the
technical characteristics and prices of the mentioned
equipment.

The list of other equipment and needs for the Peacekeeping
Brigade will send additionally after relevant revision.

I avail myself of this opportunity the renew the assurances
of my highest consideration to the Office of Defense
Cooperation of the US Embassy in Armenia on behalf of the
Minister of Defense of the Republic of Armenia.
