Summary/Abstract: In this paper, the effort is to provide a condensed overview of two distinct U.S. defense cooperation programs (FMF and FMS), each of which, however, has very different functions and purposes. In parallel, to present two different approaches to importing and acquiring U.S. defense products and services (FMS and DCS), and where there are opportunities for further combining and inter-mixing, to consider more elaborated hybrid multi-layered options. The aim is, in a most compact form, to make a comparison of three different tools that have gained international prominence as terms through their abbreviations (FMF, FMS and DCS), clearly outlining and distinguishing the essential differences by relevant features, but at the same time drawing out and highlighting the important complementarities and synergies between them.
