The function of the IPO is to enhance allied and coalition partners’ capabilities in support of national security and foreign policy objectives. Towards these ends, highly-trained and experienced Army international affairs professionals execute a robust Foreign Military Sales (FMS) program, developing and managing FMS cases that result in the delivery of PEO STRI products, services and capabilities around the globe. In addition, the IPO develops and oversees international armaments cooperation activities and collaborative research and development efforts with key allies that increase interoperability and reduce total development and life-cycle costs to both sides. Industry requests for export licenses of PEO STRI-related products and services are also reviewed within the IPO to ensure protection of critical technologies while allowing U.S. industry to export those technologies that support U.S. interests abroad.
