After Second World War, to satisfy Turkey's increasing security problems in the face of Soviet Union's attitude and to achieve economic development Turkey?s new opening was to possess United States?s aids.United States which was trying to form a new world order which would be compatible with its own principles and guidelines with its context of expansion politics, defined Turkey as an ally to protect this balances in geographical area mentioned and evaluated this situation very well to use Turkey?s geographical location near Soviet border. In this context, Turkish-American relations which started during Second World War by Lend ? Lease continued to develop by Truman Doctrine and Marshall Plan aids and carried Turkey to NATO membership.The military aids made during this process affected Turkey's national defense industry's growth negatively; the changes in Turkish Armed Forces in the fields of organization, administration, training and logistics took place; this influenced TAFs reorganization and modernization in relatively positive direction, meantime cultural and psychological effects on TAF staff and the national defense industry was negative.As a result of these developments, the Turkish army largely has been tied to the American arms industry. Shift of the Turkish army toward the American military model, as a result of its close relations with United States resulted in the loss of its anti-imperialist characteristics, especially the corrosion of Atatürk?s principles of full independence within the army.
