FMS-265 Foreign Military Sales Sustainment and Logistics provides a comprehensive foundation for Security Cooperation professionals, program managers, item managers, implementing agencies, and others involved in FMS case execution. It equips learners with the knowledge to:

• Plan and manage effective sustainment for partners, distinguishing initial provisioning from follow-on support while identifying gaps in sustainment plans.
• Utilize MILSTRIP for accurate requisitioning, tracking, and issue procedures to ensure timely supply of defense articles.
• Identify, report, and resolve supply discrepancies through the SDR process to maintain accountability and support reimbursements or corrections.
• Understand catalog data standards, item identification, and management to support procurement, inventory, and interoperability.
• Navigate transportation requirements, including Defense Transportation System (DTS), freight forwarders, Title Transfer and Delivery Term Codes (DTCs), pricing, special handling, and plans to deliver materiel securely and efficiently.

By mastering these interconnected elements, students will be enabled to contribute to successful total package approaches in FMS, ensuring partners receive reliable logistics support throughout the lifecycle of defense articles and services.

This 6-hour online training (OLT) features interactive activities designed to enhance learner engagement and comprehension.

At the end of the course, students will have two opportunities to achieve an 80% or better on the final multiple-choice assessment to receive their certificate of completion. Upon completion of the course, students will receive an email from CSOD with links to both the course evaluation and the certificate of completion.
