Excess Defense Articles: Dominican Republic

The State Department's April 2002 FY2003 Congressional Budget Justification for Foreign Operations reported that grant Excess Defense Articles to the Dominican Republic "will contribute to U.S. interests by increasing capabilities to respond to natural disasters and provide humanitarian relief, reducing the need for direct U.S. assistance in the wake of future emergencies. EDA will also strengthen the capability of the Dominican armed forces for counternarcotics missions."1

The March 1999 Congressional Presentation was more concise, indicating that EDA for the Dominican Republic will be used "to promote inter-operability and modernization of equipment."2

The February 2005 request for 2006 was more detailed: "EDA will be used in support of border operations for ground vehicles, generators, uniforms, communications equipment, and night observation devices for both ground troops and air crews. EDA will support a viable command and control system to enable the Dominicans to better patrol and control their border with Haiti. The EDA may also be used for coastal boats to support the Dominican navy operations with similar objectives." [12]
