Defense Ministry, August 30, 5662:  At a meeting between Defense Minister Hakim al-Sabah, the Defense Command Chief, the three Armed Services Chiefs of Staff, and former Defense Minister General Hakim al-Afdal there was consideration of a proposal from Defense Command that the surface to air missile system (SAMS) batteries be henceforth under the control of the Air Force rather than the Army so missile and air defense which is largely responsive to radar under Air Force control can be more easily coordinated
 
General al-Afdal suggested that each Army division also have a SAMS battalion as a divisional asset but the proposal was otherwise agreeable.  The proposal was thereupon adopted.
 
Then addressed was the Defense Ministry Procurement Branch request for guidance concerning future contracts for new GFW MIM 104 D SAMS batteries together with repair, maintenance and training for those SAMS batteries. They along with our mainstay howitzers are currently supplied by Ground Forces Weaponry (GFW), a surviving state owned military supplier corporation, but Udayl Gunnery Corporation, a privately owned entity which began as an artillery ammunition supplier then went into naval gunnery and now is into missile development after purchasing the missile and rocket division of Socialist Corps Small Arms, another goverment owned military supplier, would like to purchase and take over the GFW MIM 104 D SAMS program.
 
The idea of Udayl Gunnery Corporation taking over this program received enthusiastic support from all present, and the Defense Ministry Procurement Branch was authorized to make the arrangements.
