Description
Summary:The need for unambiguous communication among all nations is critical in the world today. In the field of Foreign Military Sales this need is most prevalent in the development of support documents, from FMS Procedure Manuals to Technical Orders, that must be clearly understood by both the United States and the allied nations.
