Title 10 › Subtitle Subtitle A— General Military Law › Part IV— SERVICE, SUPPLY, AND PROPERTY › Chapter 138— COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS WITH NATO ALLIES AND OTHER COUNTRIES › Subchapter II— OTHER COOPERATIVE AGREEMENTS › § 2350f
The Secretary of Defense, with the Secretary of State’s approval, can make one-on-one or multi-country deals with allied countries or allied international organizations to exchange communications support and related supplies and services. The U.S. and its partners agree to give each other equal value for what they receive. Any such deal can last no more than 5 years. If one side provides more than the other, the difference must be paid in cash to the side that gave more. Parties must balance accounts each year, and final payment must be made no later than 30 days after the deal ends. U.S. debts from these reconciliations are paid from the Department of Defense funds available at that time, and money the U.S. receives is credited back to the same DoD fund. "Allied country" = NATO members, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, the Republic of Korea, or others named by the Secretary of Defense with the Secretary of State’s agreement. "Allied international organization" = NATO or others named the same way.
