        Congress a report setting forth the strategy of the United 
        States for the redeployment of United States forces from Iraq 
        by not later than the date that is 180 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act (in this section referred to as the 
        ``redeployment date''), in accordance with the policy stated in 
        subsection (a).
            (2) Elements of strategy.--The strategy set forth in the 
        report under this subsection shall include the following:
                    (A) A flexible schedule for redeploying United 
                States forces from Iraq by the redeployment date, in 
                accordance 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 
                the redeployment date, for purposes of counterterrorism 
                activities, training Iraq security forces, or 
                protecting United States infrastructure and personnel 
                in Iraq.
                    (C) A strategy for managing the regional 
                implications of the redeployment of United States 
                forces from Iraq in accordance with the policy stated 
                in subsection (a), including a description of proposed 
                efforts to ensure a coordinated diplomatic, political, 
                and development strategy to accompany such redeployment 
                of United States forces.
                    (D) A strategy for ensuring the safety and security 
                of United States forces in Iraq during the redeployment 
                under the policy stated in subsection (a), and a 
                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 the redeployment date.
                    (E) A strategy for repairing and strengthening 
                United States forces to effectively engage and defeat 
                global terrorist networks that threaten the United 
                States.
