H. Res. 1009

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                         July 25, 2018.
Whereas the ability of the United States Special Operations Command to 
        successfully conduct operations relies on adequate resourcing;
Whereas Special Operations Forces must prepare for a wide array of missions to 
        support and defend the United States in various capacities around the 
        world;
Whereas the training and development of Special Operations Forces takes multiple 
        years and cannot be created overnight;
Whereas the success of the United States Special Operations Command requires 
        close coordination between each branch of the Armed Forces;
Whereas training shortfalls have been identified as posing an unnecessary risk 
        to Special Forces soldiers;
Whereas the lack of full, on-time funding undermines the ability of the United 
        States Special Operations Command to work by, with, and through our 
        partner nations;
Whereas the smaller operating footprint of Special Operations Forces poses 
        unique operational needs not found in conventional forces;
Whereas the deployment cycle of Special Operations Forces requires additional 
        attention and resources be provided for family and support programs 
        before, during, and after deployments; and
Whereas the United States Special Operations Command must maintain a constant 
        level of readiness that is significantly undermined by budget 
        uncertainty: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) finds that not providing the Department of Defense with stable, 
        predictable, and on-time funding unnecessarily jeopardizes the safety 
        and security of the United States;
            (2) expresses a sense of gratitude for the incredible sacrifices 
        made by both Special Operators and their families; and
            (3) commits to meeting the needs of the United States Special 
        Operations Command as part of its efforts to restore military readiness.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
