Foreign Military Financing: Peru


The Bush Administration's budget presentation for 2003 explains, "Foreign Military Financing (FMF) will also improve the military's capabilities in protecting Peru's borders and promoting regional stability. The FMF funding will provide upgrades to field medical, engineering, and general field support capabilities resulting from Peruvian army restructuring and modernization. This could include water purification systems, tents, field kitchens, field medical and dental equipment, water and fuel bladders, mess equipment, and individual soldier equipment."

The same document goes on to describe the Regional Security portion of FMF used for Peru: "Peru's stretched military will receive training and equipment geared toward sustaining professionalism and maintaining equipment previously provided under FMF." [1]
