        Congress a report setting forth the strategy of the United 
        States for the redeployment of United States forces from Iraq 
        by July 1, 2007, in accordance with the policy stated in 
        subsection (a).

                    (A) A flexible schedule for redeploying United

                with the policy stated in subsection (a).
                    (B) An estimate of the number, size, and character 
                of United States military units needed in Iraq after 
                July 1, 2007, for purposes of counterterrorism 
                activities, training Iraq security forces, or

                    (C) A strategy for managing the regional

                forces from Iraq in accordance with the policy stated 
                in subsection (a), including a description of proposed 
                efforts to ensure a coordinated diplomatic, political,

                contingency plan for addressing dramatic changes in 
                security conditions that may require a specified number 
                of additional United States forces to remain in Iraq 
                after July 1, 2007.
                    (E) A strategy for repairing and strengthening 
                United States forces to effectively engage and defeat 
                global terrorist networks that threaten the United 
                States.
