This paper uses the long-standing U.S. security assistance program
with the Republic of Turkey as a case study depicting how this
valued NATO ally has come to depend almost exclusively on U.S.
security assistance. Analyzing this dependence will reveal some
interesting inconsistencies regarding U.S. selective technology
transfer policy and how advanced weapon system sales have led to
host nation over-dependence on U.S. origin technology and
processes. It will be an ambitious study to frame and will attempt
to examine whether or not current U.S. export controls and national
security considerations should prevent advanced military technology
transfer to our allies. We will delve into defining the U.S.
security assistance process and policy by taking an in-depth look
at the major players and relations. This will lead to an essential
discussion on in-place technology transfer safeguards to satisfy
the U.S.'s greatest fear - compromise of classified material and
methods. That is, losing the technological advantage that enables
the U.S. and its closest allies to stay ahead of traditional
adversarial states, and terror-sponsoring states and non-state
entities. The discussion will be followed by critical analysis of
security assistance as an instrument of military power. Finally,
recommendations based on the author's observations and experience
will be presented for consideration.
