Lebanon<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese Low loaders are expected to be added to the transportation regiment in the Lebanese armed forces, whereby vehicles with similar capabilities are centralized at the same site to facilitate maintenance and professional training, and will be dispatched for tactical use only,\u201d retired Lebanese Army Brig. Gen. Maroun Hitti, who served as the director of operations and the deputy chief of staff for planning, told Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He said the deal will see 80 trucks delivered to the three countries, each of which has an approximate value of $200,000. (The remaining money is to go toward maintenance costs.)null<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hitti said that, amid Lebanon\u2019s economic crisis, the trucks are expected to tremendously reduce the cost of transportation, while increasing military mobility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aram Nerguizian, senior associate with the Center for Strategic and International Studies, told Defense News that the initial delivery to Lebanon is for 23 HEMTTS (10 M977A4s and 13 M978A4s).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThese 23 trucks to the LAF [Lebanese Armed Forces] are part of a larger purchase of modern transportation systems using U.S. funding,\u201d he said, explaining that this is part of a much larger $40 million acquisition by the military of more than 160 trucks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The military \u201cis using Section 333 to procure 50 2.5-ton trucks, and 50 5-ton trucks,\u201d he said, referring to a U.S. government authority used to build the capacity of partner nations. \u201cAdditional 70 5-ton trucks are to be contracted under [the U.S. State Department\u2019s Foreign Military Financing program] by the LAF.\u201dnull<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Iraq<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
A retired brigadier of the Iraqi armed forces and a defense expert, Adnan Al Kenany, told Defense News that the trucks headed to the country will serve as additional transportation capabilities for the services. It\u2019s unclear how many vehicles the country is to receive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIraq directorate of orientation and provision has a number of heavy transportation trucks that exceeds 250 trucks, including trucks from Russia and others from France. These trucks will transport heavy armored vehicles, usually within the country to operate or perform maneuvers in places that are 300-400 kilometers away including the borders,\u201d Al Kenany said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Malaysia<\/h1>\n\n\n\n
