Memorandum on United States Conventional Arms Transfer Policy

FEBRUARY 23, 2023

NATIONAL SECURITY MEMORANDUM/NSM-18

SUBJECT: United States Conventional Arms Transfer Policy

Section 1. Purpose. The United States Conventional Arms Transfer (CAT) Policy establishes the executive branch’s priorities and rationale for adjudicating the export of conventional arms. The transfer of defense articles and services is an important tool for achieving United States foreign policy and national security objectives by helping allies and partners increase their contributions to global security, as well as by promoting shared interests with allies and partners. Acquisitions of United States defense articles and services by trusted allies and partners reinforce diplomatic relations and deepen military interoperability, in turn shaping the international security environment in a manner that furthers United States foreign policy and national security interests.
