The objective of this evaluation was to assess how effectively the DoD Components demilitarized damaged and destroyed defense articles transferred to Ukraine that require enhanced end use monitoring (EEUM).
Demilitarization is the process of eliminating the functionality and military design features from DoD property. Damaged U.S. Air Intercept Missiles‑9X and Javelin command launch units are sent from Ukraine to U.S. contractors for repair or demilitarization. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency’s (DSCA) Security Assistance Management Manual (SAMM) requires written permission from the Department of State (DOS) Bureau of Political and Military Affairs Office of Regional Security and Arms Transfers (PM/ RSAT) before transferring, disposing of, or changing the use of EEUM-designated defense articles obtained through security assistance programs, including Air Intercept Missiles-9X and Javelin command launch units. These third-party transfer (TPT) requests should include end use, transfer, and security assurances from the proposed non-government entity recipient. Offices of Defense Cooperation must report unauthorized use, transfer, or security violations of EEUM‑designated defense articles as potential end use violations.
