1. - Program Description
 

JUMPSTART.1.1. The Joint Ukraine Multinational Program - Services, Training and Articles Rapid Timeline (JUMPSTART) is a mechanism that leverages financial donations from Allies and partners to fund Ukraine Letters of Offer and Acceptance (LOAs) through the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) system. This mechanism is used to procure defense articles, services, and training for Ukraine to support their self-defense following Russia’s invasion.

2. - Program Specific Guidance and Restrictions
 

JUMPSTART.2.1. The aspiring donor country must first establish the financial relationship with DSCA through a Funding Arrangement (see Figure JUMPSTART.F1.) Funding Arrangement) to fund a Joint Ukraine Multinational Program - Services, Training and Articles Rapid Timeline (JUMPSTART) case for Ukraine. Through this document, donor countries can define the scope of assistance they are willing to fund (see Figure JUMPSTART.F3. Annex B).

 

JUMPSTART.2.2. "Assistance" means - the provision of support to Ukraine consistent with applicable U.S. law.

3. - Program Key Stakeholders
 

JUMPSTART.3.1. Defense Security Cooperation Agency. DSCA has overall responsibility for program and financial management, and any congressional reporting required. DSCA also coordinates with the Department of State, Political-Military Bureau, Office of Regional Security and Arms Transfers (State (PM/RSAT)), the donating party, the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Policy (OUSW(P)), and the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment (OUSW(A&S)), and the Implementing Agency (IA) on program execution.

JUMPSTART.3.2. Military Group Ukraine. The Military Group (MILGP) for Ukraine assists Ukraine with drafting and submitting a request for Rough Order of Magnitude (ROM) for a Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOA, also known as a case) to initiate the foreign Military Sales (FMS) process. MILGP also provides critical contributions in generating the Country Team Assessment (CTA) required for any FMS case.

JUMPSTART.3.3. Office of the Undersecretary of War for Policy. OUSW(P) Coordinates with the U.S. European Command (EUCOM) to ensure DoW current priorities and policies are being considered throughout execution of the program and develops international security strategies and policies of DoW interest that relate to global allies and partners.

JUMPSTART.3.4. Office of the Undersecretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment. OUSW(A&S) Provides overall guidance to DSCA regarding program execution and acquisition/sustainment issues.

JUMPSTART.3.5. Department of State. DSCA submits Congressional Notification (CN) packages to State (PM/RSAT) for review. State (PM/RSAT) also reviews Letter of Offer and Acceptance (LOAs) packages and confirms sales to Ukraine.

JUMPSTART.3.6. Defense Finance and Accounting Service. Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) will ensure the payment is properly credited to the applicable FMS LOA. DFAS also notifies the donor and Ukraine of funds execution by generating the billing statement (DD Form 645) each quarter.
