DIGEST


This report should be helpful to the Congress
in determining the nateze and level of future
security assistance programs, not only to the
Republic of Korea but also to other countries.

In a dramatic eversal of the situation exist-
ing 2 years ago, U.S. aivisors succeeded in
helping the Republic of Korea to (aake impres-
sive gains to 'r i attainlng security assis-
tance objectiv.;.   For example:

--Ground and air combat readiness have im-
  proved markedly ard ground forces are well
  prepared to defend Korea.

--Korea is picking up most of its security
  program costs.

--U.S. officials have succeeded in getting
  Korea to develop plans for financing its
  security program. (See pp. 5 to 8.)

Notwithstanding generally favorable program
results, problems relating primarily to
logistical su-port for U.S.-furnished defense
articles which have been phased out of the
U.S. system and to overall logistical plan-
ning still exist.

The creign Assistaice Act of 1974 directed
that military assistance grant programs be
rapidly terminated, consistent with U.S se-
curity and foreign policy requirements.
Future plans in Korea include a general
pbasedown of U.S. grant security assistance
ard an increase in Foreign Military Sales.
Although grant aid t^ Kor ,a has been largely
reduced, the complete phaseout of grant se-
curity assistance is not scheduled until some-
time after fiscal year 181.
