Conventional Arms Transfer

The transfer of non-nuclear weapons, aircraft, equipment, and military
services from supplier states to recipient states. U.S. arms are
transferred by grants as in the Military Assistance Program (MAP); by
private commercial sales; and by government-to-government sales under
Foreign Military Sales (FMS).
MAP provides defense articles and defense services to eligible foreign
governments on a grant basis.

FMS provides credits and loan repayment guarantees to enable eligible
foreign governments to purchase defense articles and defense services.
