The FMS Directorate supports the government-to-government procurement of goods and services from the United States. The Directorate is part of the Defence Materiel Organisation at the Embassy of Australia, and is responsible for managing the interface between the Government of Australia (primarily DMO, but also other Defence and government agencies) and the US Department of Defence (DoD). The Directorate is also increasingly involved in contributing to the development of emerging Defence materiel cooperative programs. Current FMS activity includes support for operational requirements and most DMO SPOs, covering both through-life support and capital acquisition.
