               TITLE __--VETERANS EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE

     SEC. __001. SHORT TITLE.

       This title may be cited as the ``Post-9/11 Veterans 
     Educational Assistance Act of 2008''.

     SEC. __002. FINDINGS.

       Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On September 11, 2001, terrorists attacked the United 
     States, and the brave members of the Armed Forces of the 
     United States were called to the defense of the Nation.
       (2) Service on active duty in the Armed Forces has been 
     especially arduous for the members of the Armed Forces since 
     September 11, 2001.
       (3) The United States has a proud history of offering 
     educational assistance to millions of veterans, as 
     demonstrated by the many ``G.I. Bills'' enacted since World 
     War II. Educational assistance for veterans helps reduce the 
     costs of war, assist veterans in readjusting to civilian life 
     after wartime service, and boost the United States economy, 
     and has a positive effect on recruitment for the Armed 
     Forces.
       (4) The current educational assistance program for veterans 
     is outmoded and designed for peacetime service in the Armed 
     Forces.
       (5) The people of the United States greatly value military 
     service and recognize the difficult challenges involved in 
     readjusting to civilian life after wartime service in the 
     Armed Forces.
       (6) It is in the national interest for the United States to 
     provide veterans who serve on active duty in the Armed Forces 
     after September 11, 2001, with enhanced educational 
     assistance benefits that are worthy of such service and are 
     commensurate with the educational assistance benefits 
     provided by a grateful Nation to veterans of World War II.

                   FORCES WHO SERVE AFTER SEPTEMBER 11, 2001.

                  POLICY REGARDING OPERATIONS IN IRAQ


         units deployed for combat to be fully mission capable

       Sec. 12001.  (a) The Congress finds that it is the policy 
     of the Department of Defense that units should not be 
     deployed for combat unless they are rated ``fully mission 
     capable''.
       (b) None of the funds made available by this Act may be 
     used to deploy any unit of the Armed Forces to Iraq unless 
     the President has certified in writing to the Committees on 
     Appropriations and the Committees on Armed Services of the 
     House of Representatives and the Senate at least 15 days in 
     advance of the deployment that the unit is fully mission 
     capable in advance of entry into Iraq.
       (c) For purposes of subsection (b), the term ``fully 
     mission capable'' means capable of performing assigned 
     mission essential tasks to the prescribed standards under the 
     conditions expected in the theater of operation, consistent 
     with the guidelines set forth in the DoD Directive 7730.65, 
     Subject: Department of Defense Readiness Reporting System; 
     the Interim Force Allocation Guidance to the Global Force 
     Management Board,

     Unit Status Reporting, dated December 19, 2006.
       (d) The President, by certifying in writing to the 
     Committees on Appropriations and the Committees on Armed 
     Services of the House of Representatives and the Senate that 
     the deployment to Iraq of a unit that is not assessed mission 
     capable is required for reasons of national security and by 
     submitting along with the certification a report in 
     classified and unclassified form detailing the particular 
     reason or reasons why the unit's deployment is necessary 
     despite the unit commander's assessment that the unit is not 
     mission capable, may waive the limitations prescribed in 
     subsection (b) on a unit-by-unit basis.


                    time limit on combat deployments

       Sec. 12002.  (a) The Congress finds that it is the policy 
     of the Department of Defense that Army, Army Reserve, and 
     National Guard units should not be deployed for combat beyond 
     365 days or that Marine Corps and Marine Corps Reserve units 
     should not be deployed for combat beyond 210 days.
       (b) None of the funds made available in this or any other 
     Act may be obligated or expended to initiate the development 
     of, continue the development of, or execute any order that

     Guard beyond 365 days; or
       (2) any unit of the Marine Corps or Marine Corps Reserve 
     beyond 210 days.
       (c) The limitation prescribed in subsection (b) shall not 
     be construed to require force levels in Iraq to be decreased 
     below the total United States force levels in Iraq as of 
     January 9, 2007.
       (d) The President may waive the limitations prescribed in 
     subsection (b) on a unit-by-unit basis if the President 
     certifies in writing to the Committees on Appropriations and 
     the Committees on Armed Services of the House of 
     Representatives and the Senate that the extension of a unit's 
     deployment in Iraq beyond the period applicable to the unit 
     under such subsection is required for reasons of national

         units deployed for combat to be fully mission capable

       Sec. 12001.  (a) The Congress finds that it is the policy 
     of the Department of Defense that units should not be 
     deployed for combat unless they are rated ``fully mission 
     capable''.
       (b) None of the funds made available by this Act may be 
     used to deploy any unit of the Armed Forces to Iraq unless 
     the President has certified in writing to the Committees on

     advance of the deployment that the unit is fully mission 
     capable in advance of entry into Iraq.
       (c) For purposes of subsection (b), the term ``fully 
     mission capable'' means capable of performing assigned 
     mission essential tasks to the prescribed standards under the

     the deployment to Iraq of a unit that is not assessed mission 
     capable is required for reasons of national security and by 
     submitting along with the certification a report in 
     classified and unclassified form detailing the particular 
     reason or reasons why the unit's deployment is necessary 
     despite the unit commander's assessment that the unit is not 
     mission capable, may waive the limitations prescribed in 
     subsection (b) on a unit-by-unit basis.


                    time limit on combat deployments

       Sec. 12002.  (a) The Congress finds that it is the policy

     January 9, 2007.
       (d) The President may waive the limitations prescribed in 
     subsection (b) on a unit-by-unit basis if the President 
     certifies in writing to the Committees on Appropriations and 
     the Committees on Armed Services of the House of 
     Representatives and the Senate that the extension of a unit's 
     deployment in Iraq beyond the period applicable to the unit 
     under such subsection is required for reasons of national 
     security. The certification shall include a report, in 
     classified and unclassified form, detailing the particular

     necessary.

     the unit has been deployed within the previous 365 
     consecutive days and that a Marine Corps or Marine Corps 
     Reserve unit should not be redeployed for combat if the unit 
     has been deployed within the previous 210 days.

     Act may be obligated or expended to initiate the development 
     of, continue the development of, or execute any order that 
     has the effect of deploying for Operation Iraqi Freedom of--

     Guard if such unit has been deployed within the previous 365 
     consecutive days; or

     such unit has been deployed within the previous 210 
     consecutive days.

       (d) The President may waive the limitations prescribed in 
     subsection (b) on a unit-by-unit basis if the President 
     certifies in writing to the Committees on Appropriations and 
     the Committees on Armed Services of the House of 
     Representatives and the Senate that the redeployment of a 
     unit to Iraq in advance of the expiration of the period 
     applicable to the unit under such subsection is required for 
     reasons of national security. The certification shall include 
     a report, in classified and unclassified form, detailing the 
     particular reason or reasons why the unit's early 
     redeployment is necessary.

     States or has been authorized by a law enacted pursuant to 
     section 7, clause 2 of Article I of the Constitution of the
