Since the late-1950s, Morocco has received more U.S. aid than any other Arab country, except for Egypt. By 1990, Morocco had obtained more than one-fifth of all U.S. aid to Africa, totaling more than $1 billion in military assistance alone. In 2002, Morocco received 72 percent of the total U.S. assistance to the three Maghreb countries, while in 2005 the figure amounted to 81 percent, or $58 million. In 2004, Morocco was designated as a major non-NATO ally of the United States. : The two countries have maintained extensive military and security ties since the 1950s. In 2002, the two countries established the U.S.-Morocco Defense Consultative Committee. For years, they have conducted annual joint maneuvers, with the latest, the Saharan Express and Phoenix Express, taking place in May in southern Morocco. In 2004, Morocco entered an arms race with Algeria, which prompted Rabat to continue acquiring more equipment from the U.S. Morocco has purchased CH-47D helicopters and, more importantly, 24 F-16s -- ordered in 2007 at a cost of $2 billion -- as well as more than $300 million worth of T-6 training aircraft. Under the Obama administration, aid has extended to other allocations, such as the Trans-Saharan Counterterrorism Partnership (TSCTP), through which Morocco receives military and security assistance. In 2010, security assistance amounted to $35 million. The U.S. congressional budget request for fiscal year 2011 was set at $43 million. In June 2012, Morocco also requested upgrades for 200 M1A1 Abrams tanks and associated parts, equipment, logistical support and training worth more than $1 billion, to be funded by the United States. Between 30 and 50 Moroccan officers are sent to the U.S. for training annually. In 2011, Morocco received close to $2 million from the International Military Education and Training allocation. http://www.worldpoliticsreview.com/trend-lines/12141/global-insider-morocco-and-u-s-stay-close-as-war-on-terror-evolves
