State Sets New Iraq and Afghanistan Application Procedure

DDTC has new guidance on its web site for license applications for Operating Enduring Freedom (Afghanistan) and Operating Enduring Freedom (Iraq). Generally speaking, an important point is that State tells applicants to use D-Trade if they want to get their applications approved relatively quickly. When you submit your application via D-Trade and EllieNet, the Transaction ID should begin with the letters “OIF” or “OEF” (OIF — Operation Iraqi Freedom — for Iraq, OEF — Operation Enduring Freedom — for Afghanistan). The new document includes a good deal of additional details that you should read and heed if you want to apply for a license for OIF or OEF.
