DSCA says recipients of U.S.-provided defense articles must agree to use them only for intended purposes and not transfer title or possession to anyone outside the recipient government or U.S. government without prior written U.S. consent.

Current DSCA implementation guidance shows the claimed transfer-control requirement is a standard condition for U.S.-provided defense articles, including munitions sent to foreign partners such as Ukraine.

Section 505 bars furnishing defense articles on a grant basis unless the recipient country agrees not to transfer the articles or permit unauthorized use without the President's consent; it also requires written commitments for certain significant defense-article retransfers.

Federal law already requires recipient-country assurances against unauthorized transfer for grant defense articles and written commitments for significant defense-article retransfers. This substantially matches the commitment for U.S.-controlled munitions transfers to Ukraine.

Section 3 requires recipient countries to agree not to transfer title or possession of defense articles or use them for unauthorized purposes unless presidential consent is first obtained; it also requires a written commitment for certain significant defense-article retransfers.

The Arms Export Control Act supplies the broader statutory consent requirement for U.S. defense-article sales, leases, and retransfers, reinforcing that such munitions cannot be passed onward without U.S. approval.

Section 102 required Defense and State to report to Congress on measures to account for U.S. defense articles designated for Ukraine, ensure articles reach intended recipients and are used for intended purposes, and describe any failures and remedies.

The 2024 Ukraine supplemental added reporting and accountability duties for U.S. defense articles sent to Ukraine. It supports oversight but does not itself add the exact written non-transfer guarantee in the claim.
