The sale will allow Nato to address evolving ground threats.

The increased quantity of the precision guided munitions will also help the organisation to initiate a pre-coordinated transfer of weapons, and improve interoperability within contingency operations.

The proposed sale supports the foreign policy and national security of the US.

It allows 12 Nato nations, including the UK, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, and Greece, and one enhanced opportunity partner nation, to execute contingency operations.

In November 2018, the DSCA informed Congress of a $320.5m possible foreign military sale of precision guided munition kits to the Nato agency.
