                   SCANNED ARRAY (AESA) RADAR UPGRADE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) National Guard F-16 aircraft are protecting the United 
     States from terrorist air attack from inside or outside the 
     contiguous United States 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
       (2) These aircraft, stationed throughout the United States, 
     are tasked with the zero-fail mission of guarding and 
     securing United States airspace.
       (3) The United States is facing an increased threat from 
     both state and non-state actors.
       (4) The National Guard F-16 aircraft performing the 
     Aerospace Control Alert (ACA) mission are operating legacy 
     radar systems.
       (5) Air Force Chief of Staff General Mark Welsh testified 
     to Congress in March 2015, stating, ``We need to develop an 
     AESA radar plan for our F-16s who are conducting the homeland 
     defense mission in particular.''
       (6) First Air Force, United States Northern Command, issued 
     a Joint Urgent Operational Need (JUON) request in March 2015 
     for radar upgrades to its F-16 fleet.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) it is essential to our Nation's defense that Air Force 
     aircraft modification funding is made available to purchase 
     these Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radars as 
     the United States Air Force bridges the gap between 4th and 
     5th generation fighters;
       (2) the United States Government must invest in radar 
     upgrades which ensure that 4th generation aircraft succeed at 
     this zero-fail mission; and
       (3) the First Air Force JUON request should be met as soon 
     as possible.

     to be promoted while serving for extensive periods in 
     critical positions such as program managers of major defense 
     acquisition programs, and officers in units of component

     capabilities, and capacities to the Chairman of the Joint

     commands to establish subordinate joint commands or

     remain competitive for increased responsibility and authority 
     through subsequent assignment or promotion, including by 
     identifying--

       (I) circumstances, if any, in which officers spend a 
     disproportionate amount of time in their careers to attain 
     joint officer qualifications with corresponding loss of 
     opportunities to develop in the service-specific assignments 
     needed to gain the increased proficiency and experience to 
     qualify for service and command assignments; and
       (II) circumstances, if any, in which the military 
     departments detail officers to joint headquarters staffs in 
     order to maximize the number of officers receiving joint duty 
     credit with a focus on the quantity, instead of the quality, 
     of officers achieving joint duty credit;

       (v) to establish commanders' strategic planning groups, 
     advisory groups, or similar parallel personal staff entities 
     that could risk isolating function and staff processes, 
     including an assessment of the justification used to 
     establish such personal staff organizations and their impact 
     on the effectiveness and efficiency of organizational staff 
     functions, services, capabilities, and capacities; and

     the National Guard Bureau should account for States that 
     routinely recruit and retain members in excess of State 
     authorizations when allocating full-time operational support 
     duty personnel.

                   FAMILIES AND ON SENTENCING RETIREMENT-ELIGIBLE 
                   MEMBERS OF THE ARMED FORCES.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Military families serve alongside their member of the 
     Armed Forces, enduring hardships, lending support, and 
     contributing to the member's career. These family members 
     endure frequent moves, long periods of separation, and other 
     unique hardships associated with military life.
       (2) Innocent family members are sometimes inadvertently 
     punished when the member they depend on forfeits retirement 
     benefit eligibility due to a court-martial sentence.
       (3) When a retirement-eligible member forfeits retirement 
     eligibility, that member's innocent family members lose the 
     security of benefits they had planned for and helped earn.
       (4) Military juries may choose to impose unjustly light 
     sentences on convicted members out of concern for the 
     innocent family members when a just sentence would require 
     stripping the member of retirement eligibility.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress--
       (1) that military juries should not face the difficult 
     choice between imposing a fair sentence or protecting the 
     benefits of a member of the Armed Forces for the sake of 
     innocent family members;
       (2) that innocent military family members of retirement-
     eligible members should not be made to forgo benefits they 
     have sacrificed for and helped to earn; and
       (3) to welcome the opportunity to work with the Department 
     of Defense to develop the necessary laws and regulations to 
     improve the military justice system and to protect the 
     benefits that military families have helped earn.

                   AND RAPID FIELDING.

       (a) Guidance Required.--Not later than 180 days after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, the Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, in 
     consultation with the Comptroller of the Department of 
     Defense and the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 
     shall establish guidance for a ``middle tier'' of acquisition 
     programs that are intended to be completed in a period of two 
     to five years.
       (b) Acquisition Pathways.--The guidance required by 
     subsection (a) shall cover the following two acquisition 
     pathways:
       (1) Rapid prototyping.--The rapid prototyping pathway shall 
     provide for the use of innovative technologies to rapidly 
     develop fieldable prototypes to demonstrate new capabilities 
     and meet emerging military needs. The objective of an 
     acquisition program under this pathway shall be to field a 
     prototype that can be demonstrated in an operational 
     environment and provide for a residual operational capability 
     within five years of the development of an approved 
     requirement.
       (2) Rapid fielding.--The rapid fielding pathway shall 
     provide for the use of proven technologies to field 
     production quantities of new or upgraded systems with minimal 
     development required. The objective of an acquisition program 
     under this pathway shall be to begin production within six 
     months and complete fielding within five years of the 
     development of an approved requirement.
       (c) Expedited Process.--
       (1) In general.--The guidance required by subsection (a) 
     shall provide for a streamlined and coordinated requirements, 
     budget, and acquisition process that results in the 
     development of an approved requirement for each program in a 
     period of not more than six months from the time that the 
     process is initiated. Programs that are subject to the 
     guidance shall not be subject to the Joint Capabilities 
     Integration and Development System Manual and Department of 
     Defense Directive 5000.01, except to the extent specifically 
     provided in the guidance.
       (2) Rapid prototyping.--With respect to the rapid 
     prototyping pathway, the guidance shall include--
       (A) a merit-based process for the consideration of 
     innovative technologies and new capabilities to meet needs 
     communicated by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the combatant 
     commanders;
       (B) a process for developing and implementing acquisition 
     and funding strategies for the program;
       (C) a process for cost-sharing with the military 
     departments on rapid prototype projects, to ensure an 
     appropriate commitment to the success of such projects;
       (D) a process for demonstrating and evaluating the 
     performance of fieldable prototypes developed pursuant to the 
     program in an operational environment; and
       (E) a process for transitioning successful prototypes to 
     new or existing acquisition programs for production and 
     fielding under the rapid fielding pathway or the traditional 
     acquisition system.
       (3) Rapid fielding.--With respect to the rapid fielding 
     pathway, the guidance shall include--
       (A) a merit-based process for the consideration of existing 
     products and proven technologies to meet needs communicated 
     by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the combatant commanders;
       (B) a process for demonstrating performance and evaluating 
     for current operational purposes the proposed products and 
     technologies;
       (C) a process for developing and implementing acquisition 
     and funding strategies for the program; and
       (D) a process for considering lifecycle costs and 
     addressing issues of logistics support and system 
     interoperability.
       (4) Streamlined procedures.--The guidance for the programs 
     may provide for any of the following streamlined procedures:
       (A) The service acquisition executive of the military 
     department concerned shall appoint a program manager for such 
     program from among candidates from among civilian employees 
     or members of the armed forces who have significant and 
     relevant experience managing large and complex programs.
       (B) The program manager for each program shall report with 
     respect to such program directly, without intervening review 
     or approval, to the service acquisition executive of the 
     military department concerned.
       (C) The service acquisition executive of the military 
     department concerned shall evaluate the job performance of 
     such manager on an annual basis. In conducting an evaluation 
     under this paragraph, a service acquisition executive shall 
     consider the extent to which the manager has achieved the 
     objectives of the program for which the manager is 
     responsible, including quality, timeliness, and cost 
     objectives.
       (D) The program manager of a defense streamlined program 
     shall be authorized staff positions for a technical staff, 
     including experts in business management, contracting, 
     auditing, engineering, testing, and logistics, to enable the 
     manager to manage the program without the technical 
     assistance of another organizational unit of an agency to the 
     maximum extent practicable.
       (E) The program manager of a defense streamlined program 
     shall be authorized, in coordination with the users of the 
     equipment and capability to be acquired and the test 
     community, to make trade-offs among life-cycle costs, 
     requirements, and schedules to meet the goals of the program.
       (F) The service acquisition executive, acting in 
     coordination with the defense acquisition executive, shall 
     serve as the milestone decision authority for the program.
       (G) The program manager of a defense streamlined program 
     shall be provided a process to expeditiously seek a waiver 
     from Congress from any statutory or regulatory requirement 
     that the program manager determines adds little or no value 
     to the management of the program.
       (d) Rapid Prototyping Fund.--
       (1) In general.--The Secretary of Defense shall establish a 
     fund to be known as the ``Department of Defense Rapid 
     Prototyping Fund'' to provide funds, in addition to other 
     funds that may be available for acquisition programs under 
     the rapid prototyping pathway established pursuant to this 
     section. The Fund shall be managed by a senior official of 
     the Department of Defense designated by the Under Secretary 
     of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics. The 
     Fund shall consist of amounts appropriated to the Fund and 
     amounts credited to the Fund pursuant to section 849 of this 
     Act.

     be transferred to a military department for the purpose of 
     carrying out an acquisition program under the rapid 
     prototyping pathway established pursuant to this section. Any 
     amount so transferred shall be credited to the account to 
     which it is transferred. The transfer authority provided in 
     this subsection is in addition to any other transfer 
     authority available to the Department of Defense.
       (3) Congressional notice.--The senior official designated 
     to manage the Fund shall notify the congressional defense 
     committees of all transfers under paragraph (2). Each

       (a) In General.--For each fiscal year beginning with fiscal 
     year 2015, the Secretary of each military department shall 
     pay a penalty for cost overruns on the covered major defense 
     acquisition programs of the military department.
       (b) Calculation of Penalty.--For the purposes of this 
     section:
       (1) The amount of the cost overrun or underrun on any major 
     defense acquisition program or subprogram in a fiscal year is 
     the difference between the current program acquisition unit 
     cost for the program or subprogram and the program 
     acquisition unit cost for the program as shown in the 
     original Baseline Estimate for the program or subprogram, 
     multiplied by the quantity of items to be purchased under the 
     program or subprogram, as reported in the final Selected 
     Acquisition Report for the fiscal year in accordance with 
     section 2432 of title 10, United States Code.
       (2) Cost overruns or underruns for covered major defense 
     acquisition programs that are joint programs of more than one 
     military department shall be allocated among the military 
     departments in percentages determined by the Under Secretary 
     of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics.
       (3) The cumulative amount of cost overruns for a military 
     department in a fiscal year is the sum of the cost overruns 
     and cost underruns for all covered major defense acquisition 
     programs of the department in the fiscal year (including cost 
     overruns or underruns allocated to the military department in 
     accordance with paragraph (2)).
       (4) The cost overrun penalty for a military department in a 
     fiscal year is three percent of the cumulative amount of cost 
     overruns of the military department in the fiscal year, as 
     determined pursuant to paragraph (3), except that the cost 
     overrun penalty may not be a negative amount.
       (c) Transfer of Funds.--
       (1) Reduction of research, development, test, and 
     evaluation accounts.--Not later than 60 days after the end of 
     each fiscal year beginning with fiscal year 2015, the 
     Secretary of each military department shall reduce each 
     research, development, test, and evaluation account of the 
     military department by the percentage determined under 
     paragraph (2), and remit such amount to the Secretary of 
     Defense.
       (2) Determination of amount.--The percentage reduction to 
     research, development, test, and evaluation accounts of a 
     military department referred to in paragraph (1) is the 
     percentage reduction to such accounts necessary to equal the 
     cost overrun penalty for the fiscal year for such department 
     determined pursuant to subsection (b)(4).
       (3) Crediting of funds.--Any amount remitted under 
     paragraph (1) shall be credited to the Rapid Prototyping Fund 
     established pursuant to section 803 of this Act.
       (d) Covered Programs.--A major defense acquisition program 
     is covered under this section if the original Baseline 
     Estimate was established for such program under section 
     2435(d) (1) or (2) on or after the date of the enactment of 
     the Weapon Systems Acquisition Reform Act of 2009 (Public Law 
     111-23).

     the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of 
     Defense shall submit to the congressional defense committees 
     a report setting forth an assessment of the feasibility and 
     advisability of--
       (1) assigning to the Assistant Secretary of Defense for

       (1) the Department of Defense does not place sufficient 
     emphasis on sustainment of a weapon system during the entire 
     acquisition process; and
       (2) the Department of Defense should address this 
     deficiency and ensure that all aspect of weapon system 
     sustainment are carefully considered throughout the entire 
     Integrated Defense Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics 
     Life Cycle Management System.

     market research and commercial items. The guidance issued 
     pursuant to this subsection shall, at a minimum--
       (1) provide that the head of an agency may not enter into a 
     contract in excess of the simplified acquisition threshold

     requirement in section 2377(c) of title 10, United States 
     Code, and section 10.001 of the Federal Acquisition 
     Regulation for Federal agencies to conduct appropriate market 
     research before developing new requirements.
       (c) Market Research Defined.--For the purposes of this

     existing systems, subsystems, capabilities, and technologies 
     that are available or could be made available to meet the 
     needs of the Department of Defense in whole or in part. The 
     review may include any of the techniques for conducting 
     market research provided in section 10.002(b)(2) of the 
     Federal Acquisition Regulation and shall include, at a 
     minimum, contacting knowledgeable individuals in Government 
     and industry regarding existing market capabilities.

     the enactment of this Act, the Defense Federal Acquisition 
     Regulation Supplement shall be modified to address the

       (b) Required Elements.--The modification required by 
     paragraph (1) shall, at a minimum--
       (1) provide that a written determination by an authorized 
     agency official that an item is a commercial item for the 
     purposes of section 2306a of title 10, United States Code, 
     shall be presumed to be valid for any subsequent procurement 
     unless the contracting officer for such procurement 
     determines in writing that the earlier determination was made 
     in error or was based on inadequate information; and
       (2) establish a process by which the contractor may appeal 
     a determination by a contracting officer that an earlier 
     determination was made in error or was based on inadequate 
     information to the head of contracting for the agency.

     construed to preclude the contracting officer for the 
     procurement of a commercial item from requiring the 
     contractor to supply information that is sufficient to 
     determine the reasonableness of price, regardless whether or 
     not the contractor was required to provide such information 
     in connection with any earlier procurement.

       (1) Terms of the resolution.--For purposes of this section 
     the term ``joint resolution'' means only a joint resolution 
     which is introduced within the 10-day period beginning on the 
     date on which the Secretary of Defense submits to Congress a 
     report under subsection (g) and--
       (A) which does not have a preamble;
       (B) the matter after the resolving clause of which is as 
     follows: ``That Congress approves the plan of the Secretary 
     of Defense on the disposition of detainees held at United 
     States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, under section 
     1032(g) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
     Year 2016 as submitted by the Secretary of Defense to 
     Congress on ______'', the blank space being filled in with 
     the appropriate date; and
       (C) the title of which is as follows: ``Joint resolution 
     approving the plan of the Secretary of Defense on the 
     disposition of detainees held at United States Naval Station, 
     Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.''.
       (2) Referral.--A resolution described in paragraph (1) that 
     is introduced in the House of

[[Page S4414]]

     Representatives shall be referred to the Committee on Armed 
     Services of the House of Representatives. A resolution 
     described in paragraph (1) introduced in the Senate shall be 
     referred to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate.
       (3) Discharge.--If the committee to which a resolution 
     described in paragraph (1) is referred has not reported such 
     resolution (or an identical resolution) by the end of the 20-
     day period beginning on the date on which the Secretary 
     submits to Congress a report under subsection (g), such 
     committee shall be, at the end of such period, discharged 
     from further consideration of such resolution, and such 
     resolution shall be placed on the appropriate calendar of the 
     House involved.
       (4) Consideration.--(A) On or after the third day after the 
     date on which the committee to which such a resolution is 
     referred has reported, or has been discharged (under 
     paragraph (3)) from further consideration of, such a 
     resolution, it is in order (even though a previous motion to 
     the same effect has been disagreed to) for any Member of the 
     respective House to move to proceed to the consideration of 
     the resolution. A Member may make the motion only on the day 
     after the calendar day on which the Member announces to the 
     House concerned the Member's intention to make the motion, 
     except that, in the case of the House of Representatives, the 
     motion may be made without such prior announcement if the 
     motion is made by direction of the committee to which the 
     resolution was referred. All points of order against the 
     resolution (and against consideration of the resolution) are 
     waived. The motion is highly privileged in the House of 
     Representatives and is privileged in the Senate and is not 
     debatable. The motion is not subject to amendment, or to a 
     motion to postpone, or to a motion to proceed to the 
     consideration of other business. A motion to reconsider the 
     vote by which the motion is agreed to or disagreed to shall 
     not be in order. If a motion to proceed to the consideration 
     of the resolution is agreed to, the respective House shall 
     immediately proceed to consideration of the joint resolution 
     without intervening motion, order, or other business, and the 
     resolution shall remain the unfinished business of the 
     respective House until disposed of.
       (B) Debate on the resolution, and on all debatable motions 
     and appeals in connection therewith, shall be limited to not 
     more than 2 hours, which shall be divided equally between 
     those favoring and those opposing the resolution. An 
     amendment to the resolution is not in order. A motion further 
     to limit debate is in order and not debatable. A motion to 
     postpone, or a motion to proceed to the consideration of 
     other business, or a motion to recommit the resolution is not 
     in order. A motion to reconsider the vote by which the 
     resolution is agreed to or disagreed to is not in order.
       (C) Immediately following the conclusion of the debate on a 
     resolution described in paragraph (1) and a single quorum 
     call at the conclusion of the debate if requested in 
     accordance with the rules of the appropriate House, the vote 
     on final passage of the resolution shall occur.
       (D) Appeals from the decisions of the Chair relating to the 
     application of the rules of the Senate or the House of 
     Representatives, as the case may be, to the procedure 
     relating to a resolution described in paragraph (1) shall be 
     decided without debate.
       (5) Consideration by other house.--(A) If, before the 
     passage by one House of a resolution of that House described 
     in paragraph (1), that House receives from the other House a 
     resolution described in paragraph (1), then the following 
     procedures shall apply:
       (i) The resolution of the other House shall not be referred 
     to a committee and may not be considered in the House 
     receiving it except in the case of final passage as provided 
     in clause (ii)(II).
       (ii) With respect to a resolution described in paragraph 
     (1) of the House receiving the resolution--
       (I) the procedure in that House shall be the same as if no 
     resolution had been received from the other House; but
       (II) the vote on final passage shall be on the resolution 
     of the other House.
       (B) Upon disposition of the resolution received from the 
     other House, it shall no longer be in order to consider the 
     resolution that originated in the receiving House.
       (6) Rules of the senate and the house of representatives.--
     This subsection is enacted by Congress--
       (A) as an exercise of the rulemaking power of the Senate 
     and House of Representatives, respectively, and as such it is 
     deemed a part of the rules of each House, respectively, but 
     applicable only with respect to the procedure to be followed 
     in that House in the case of a resolution described in 
     paragraph (1), and it supersedes other rules only to the 
     extent that it is inconsistent with such rules; and
       (B) with full recognition of the constitutional right of 
     either House to change the rules (so far as relating to the 
     procedure of that House) at any time, in the same manner, and 
     to the same extent as in the case of any other rule of that 
     House.
       (i) Limitation on Transfer or Release of Detainees 
     Transferred to the United States.--

     within the United States or its territories, and may only be 
     transferred or released in accordance with the procedures 
     under section 1033.

     joint resolution approving plan.--Effective on the effective

     127 Stat. 851; 10 U.S.C. 801 note), as previously repealed by 
     section 1033, shall be revived;
       (B) the procedures under such section 1035, as so revived, 
     shall apply to the transfer of individuals detained at 
     Guantanamo to foreign countries rather than the procedures 
     under section1033; and
       (C) in the application of procedures under such section 
     1035 as described in subparagraph (B), any reference to an 
     individual detained at Guantanamo shall be deemed to refer 
     also to any such individual transferred to the United States 
     after such effective date.
       (j) Repeal of Superseded Prohibition.--Section 1034 of the 
     National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014

     completely eliminated, but the actions to be taken under 
     subparagraph (A) will substantially mitigate such risks with 
     regard to the individual to be transferred;
       (C) in the case of a waiver of subsection (c), the 
     Secretary has considered any confirmed case in which an 
     individual who was transferred to the country subsequently 
     engaged in terrorist activity, and the actions to be taken 
     under subparagraph (A) will substantially mitigate the risk 
     of recidivism with regard to the individual to be 
     transferred; and
       (D) the transfer is in the national security interests of 
     the United States.
       (2) Reports.--Whenever the Secretary makes a determination

       (e) Record of Cooperation.--
       (1) In general.--In assessing the risk that an individual

     other actions that could affect the security of the United 
     States if released for the purpose of making a certification 
     under subsection (b) or a waiver under subsection (d), the 
     Secretary of Defense may give favorable consideration to any 
     such individual--

                   DETAINED AT UNITED STATES NAVAL STATION, 
                   GUANTANAMO BAY, CUBA, TO THE UNITED STATES FOR 
                   EMERGENCY OR CRITICAL MEDICAL TREATMENT.

       (a) Transfer for Emergency or Critical Medical Treatment 
     Authorized.--Notwithstanding any other provision of this 
     subtitle, or any other provision of law enacted after 
     September 30, 2013, but subject to subsection (b), the 
     Secretary of Defense may temporarily transfer any individual 
     detained at Guantanamo to a Department of Defense medical 
     facility in the United States for the sole purpose of

     necessary to prevent death or imminent significant injury or 
     harm to the health of the individual;

     Officer, Joint Task Force-Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the medical

       (4) except in cases involving the especially immediate need 
     for the provision of medical treatment to prevent death or 
     imminent significant injury or harm to the health of the 
     individual, the estimated aggregate cost of providing the 
     individual medical treatment in a Department of Defense 
     medical facility in the United States (including the cost of 
     transferring and securing the individual in such facility 
     during any period in which the individual is temporarily in

     days after the date of transfer.

     that will provide medical treatment to the individual.
       (C) A description of the actions the Secretary determines 
     have been taken, or will be taken, to address any risk to the 
     public safety that could arise in connection with the 
     provision of medical treatment to the individual in the 
     United States.

     SEC. 1047. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON CONSIDERATION OF THE FULL 
                   RANGE OF DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE MANPOWER 
                   WORLDWIDE IN DECISIONS ON THE PROPER MIX OF 
                   MILITARY, CIVILIAN, AND CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL TO 
                   ACCOMPLISH THE NATIONAL DEFENSE STRATEGY.

       It is the sense of Congress that, as the Department of 
     Defense makes decisions on military end strength requests, 
     proper sizing of the civilian workforce, and the proper mix 
     of these sources of manpower with contractor personnel to 
     accomplish the National Defense Strategy, the Secretary of 
     Defense should consider the full range of manpower available 
     to the Secretary in all locations worldwide in order to 
     arrive at the proper mix and size of manpower to accomplish 
     that Strategy without arbitrarily protecting or exempting any 
     particular group or location of manpower.

     SEC. 1048. SENSE OF SENATE ON THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS.

       (a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
       (1) As senior United States statesmen Dr. Henry Kissinger 
     wrote in testimony submitted to the Committee on Armed 
     Services of the Senate on January 29, 2015, ``[t]he United 
     States has not faced a more diverse and complex array of 
     crises since the end of the Second World War.''.
       (2) The rise of committed, non-state forces and near peer 
     competitors has introduced destabilizing pressures around the 
     globe.
       (3) Advances in information and weapons technology have 
     reduced the time available for the United States to prepare 
     for a respond to crises against either known or unknown 
     threats.
       (4) The importance of the maritime domain cannot be 
     overstated. As acknowledged in the March 2015 Navy, Marine 
     Corps, and Coast Guard maritime strategy entitled ``A 
     Cooperative Strategy for 21st Century Seapower: Forward, 
     Engaged, Ready'', ``[o]ceans are the lifeblood of the 
     interconnected global community. . .90 percent of trade by 
     volume across the oceans. Approximately 70 percent of the 
     world's population lives within 100 miles of the coastline''.
       (5) In this global security environment, it is critical 
     that the United States possess a maritime forces whose 
     mission and ethos is readiness, a fight tonight force, 
     forward deployed, that can respond immediately to emergent 
     crises across the full range of military operations around 
     the globe either from the sea or home station.
       (6) The need for such forces was recognized by the 82nd 
     Congress during the Korean War, when it mandated a core 
     mission for the Nation's leanest force, the Marine Corps, to 
     be most ready when the nation is least ready.

     Code, the Marine Corps should--
       (A) be organized to include no less than three combat 
     divisions and three air wings, and such other land combat, 
     aviation, and other services as may be organic to it;
       (B) be organized, trained, and equipped to provide fleet 
     marine forces of combined arms, together with supporting air 
     components, for service with the fleet in the seizure or 
     defense of advanced naval bases and for the conduct of such 
     land operations as may be essential to the prosecution of a 
     naval campaign; and
       (C) provide detachments and organizations for service on 
     armed vessels of the Navy, provide security detachments for 
     the protection of naval property at naval stations and bases, 
     and perform such other duties as the President may direct;
       (D) develop, in coordination with the Army and the Air 
     Force, those phases of amphibious operations that pertain to 
     the tactics, techniques, and equipment used by landing 
     forces; and
       (E) be responsible, in accordance with the integrated joint 
     mobilization plans, for the expansion of peacetime components

                   PROJECTS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS 
                   FOR WHICH AMOUNTS HAVE BEEN APPROPRIATED.

       (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
       (1) The Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations 
     Act, 2015 (Public Law 113-235) appropriated to the Department 
     of Veterans Affairs--
       (A) $35,000,000 to make seismic corrections to Building 205 
     in the West Los Angeles Medical Center of the Department in 
     Los Angeles, California, which, according to the Department, 
     is a building that is designated as having an exceptionally 
     high risk of sustaining substantial damage or collapsing 
     during an earthquake;
       (B) $101,900,000 to replace the community living center and 
     mental health facilities of the Department in Long Beach, 
     California, which, according to the Department, are 
     designated as having an exceptionally high risk of sustaining 
     substantial damage or collapsing during an earthquake;
       (C) $187,500,000 to replace the existing spinal cord injury 
     clinic of the Department in San Diego, California, which, 
     according to the Department, is designated as having an 
     extremely high risk of sustaining major damage during an 
     earthquake; and
       (D) $122,400,000 to make renovations to address substantial 
     safety and compliance issues at the medical center of the 
     Department in Canandaigua, New York, and for the construction 
     of a new clinic and community living center at such medical 
     center.
       (2) The Department is unable to obligate or expend the 
     amounts described in paragraph (1) because it lacks an 
     explicit authorization by an Act of Congress pursuant to 
     section 8104(a)(2) of title 38, United States Code, to carry 
     out the major medical facility projects described in such 
     paragraph.
       (3) Among the major medical facility projects described in 
     paragraph (1), three are critical seismic safety projects in 
     California.
       (4) Every day that the critical seismic safety projects 
     described in paragraph (3) are delayed puts the lives of 
     veterans and employees of the Department at risk.
       (5) According to the United States Geological Survey--
       (A) California has a 99 percent chance or greater of 
     experiencing an earthquake of magnitude 6.7 or greater in the 
     next 30 years;
       (B) even earthquakes of less severity than magnitude 6.7 
     can cause life threatening damage to seismically unsafe 
     buildings; and
       (C) in California, earthquakes of magnitude 6.0 or greater 
     occur on average once every 1.2 years.
       (b) Authorization.--The Secretary of Veterans Affairs may 
     carry out the major medical facility projects of the

     Department, that upon completion of the assignment, the 
     employee will serve in the civil service for a period at

     unless the employee is sooner involuntarily separated from 
     the service of the employee's agency; and

     period stated in the agreement, the employee shall be liable

     Secretary.

     employee is liable under paragraph (2)(B) shall be treated as

     good conscience and not in the best interests of the United 
     States.

     SEC. 1209. SUPPORT FOR SECURITY OF AFGHAN WOMEN AND GIRLS.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Through the sacrifice and dedication of members of the 
     Armed Forces, civilian personnel, and our Afghan partners as 
     well as the American people's generous investment, oppressive 
     Taliban rule has given way to a nascent democracy in 
     Afghanistan. It is in our national security interest to help 
     prevent Afghanistan from ever again becoming a safe haven and 
     training ground for international terrorism and to solidify 
     and preserve the gains our men and women in uniform fought so 
     hard to establish.
       (2) The United States through its National Action Plan on 
     Women, Peace, and Security has made firm commitments to 
     support the human rights of the women and girls of 
     Afghanistan. The National Action Plan states that ``the 
     engagement and protection of women as agents of peace and 
     stability will be central to United States efforts to promote 
     security, prevent, respond to, and resolve conflict, and 
     rebuild societies''.
       (3) As stated in the Department of Defense's October 2014 
     Report on Progress Toward Security and Stability in 
     Afghanistan, the Department of Defense and the International 
     Security Assistance Force (ISAF) ``maintain a robust program 
     dedicated to improving the recruitment, retention, and 
     treatment of women in the Afghan National Security Forces 
     (ANSF), and to improving the status of Afghan women in 
     general''.
       (4) According to the Department of Defense's October 2014 
     Report on Progress Toward Security and Stability in 
     Afghanistan, the ``Afghan MoI showed significant support for 
     women in the MoI and is taking steps to protect and empower 
     female police and female MoI staff''. Although some positive 
     steps have been made, progress remains slow to reach the 
     MoI's goal of recruiting 10,000 women in the Afghan National 
     Police (ANP) in the next 10 years.
       (5) According to Inclusive Security, women only make up 
     approximately 1 percent of the Afghan National Police. There 
     are about 2,200 women serving in the police force, fewer than 
     the goal of 5,000 women set by the Government of Afghanistan.
       (6) According to the International Crisis Group, there are 
     not enough female police officers to staff all provincial 
     Family Response Units (FRUs). United Nations Assistance 
     Mission Afghanistan and the Office of the High Commissioner 
     for Refugees found that ``in the absence of Family Response 
     Units or visible women police officers, women victims almost 
     never approach police stations willingly, fearing they will 
     be arrested, their reputations stained or worse''.
       (b) Sense of Congress on Promotion of Security of Afghan 
     Women.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) it is in the national security interests of the United 
     States to prevent Afghanistan from again becoming a safe 
     haven and training ground for international terrorism;
       (2) as an important part of a strategy to achieve this 
     objective and to help Afghanistan achieve its full potential, 
     the United States Government should continue to regularly 
     press the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan 
     to commit to the meaningful inclusion of women in the 
     political, economic, and security transition process and to 
     ensure that women's concerns are fully reflected in relevant 
     negotiations;
       (3) the United States Government and the Government of 
     Afghanistan should reaffirm their commitment to supporting 
     Afghan civil society, including women's organizations, as 
     agreed to during the meeting between the International 
     Community and the Government of Afghanistan on the Tokyo 
     Mutual Accountability Framework (TMAF) in July 2013;
       (4) the United States Government should continue to support 
     and encourage efforts to recruit and retain women in the 
     Afghan National Security Forces, who are critical to the 
     success of NATO's Resolute Support Mission and future 
     Enduring Partnership mission; and
       (5) the United States should bid on no less than one gender 
     advisor billet within the Resolute Support Mission Gender 
     Advisory Unit and continue to work with other countries to 
     ensure that the Resolute Support Mission Gender Advisory Unit 
     billets are fully staffed.
       (c) Plan To Promote Security of Afghan Women.--
       (1) Reporting requirement.--The Secretary of Defense, in 
     conjunction with the Secretary of State, shall include in the 
     report required under section 1225 of the Carl Levin and

     for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat. 3550)--
       (A) an assessment of the security of Afghan women and 
     girls, including information regarding efforts to increase 
     the recruitment and retention of women in the ANSF; and
       (B) an assessment of the implementation of the plans for 
     the recruitment, integration, retention, training, treatment, 
     and provision of appropriate facilities and transportation 
     for women in the ANSF, including the challenges associated 
     with such implementation and the steps being taken to address 
     those challenges.
       (2) Plan required.--
       (A) In general.--The Secretary of Defense shall, in 
     coordination with the Secretary of State, to the extent 
     practicable, support the efforts of the Government of 
     Afghanistan to promote the security of Afghan women and girls 
     during and after the security transition process through the 
     development and implementation by the Government of 
     Afghanistan of an Afghan-led plan that should include the 
     elements described in this paragraph.
       (B) Training.--The Secretary of Defense, working with the 
     NATO-led Resolute Support mission should encourage the 
     Government of Afghanistan to develop--
       (i) measures for the evaluation of the effectiveness of 
     existing training for Afghan National Security Forces on this 
     issue;
       (ii) a plan to increase the number of female security 
     officers specifically trained to address cases of gender-
     based violence, including ensuring the Afghan National 
     Police's Family Response Units (FRUs) have the necessary 
     resources and are available to women across Afghanistan;
       (iii) mechanisms to enhance the capacity for units of 
     National Police's Family Response Units to fulfill their 
     mandate as well as indicators measuring the operational 
     effectiveness of these units;
       (iv) a plan to address the development of accountability 
     mechanisms for ANA and ANP personnel who violate codes of 
     conduct related to the human rights of women and girls, 
     including female members of the ANSF; and
       (v) a plan to develop training for the ANA and the ANP to 
     increase awareness and responsiveness among ANA and ANP 
     personnel regarding the unique security challenges women 
     confront when serving in those forces.
       (C) Enrollment and treatment.--The Secretary of Defense, in 
     cooperation with the Afghan Ministries of Defense and 
     Interior, shall seek to assist the Government of Afghanistan 
     in including as part of the plan developed under subparagraph 
     (A) the development and implementation of a plan to increase 
     the number of female members of the ANA and ANP and to 
     promote their equal treatment, including through such steps 
     as providing appropriate equipment, modifying facilities, and 
     ensuring literacy and gender awareness training for recruits.
       (D) Allocation of funds.--
       (i) In general.--Of the funds available to the Department 
     of Defense for the Afghan Security Forces Fund for Fiscal 
     Year 2016, no less than $10,000,000 should be used for the 
     recruitment, integration, retention, training, and treatment 
     of women in the ANSF as well as the recruitment, training, 
     and contracting of female security personnel for future 
     elections.
       (ii) Types of programs and activities.--Such programs and 
     activities may include--

       (I) efforts to recruit women into the ANSF, including the 
     special operations forces;

     Defense Directorate of Human Rights and Gender Integration 
     and the Afghan Ministry of Interior Office of Human Rights,

     the Afghan Ministry of Defense and the Afghan Ministry of 
     Interior;
       (IV) efforts to address harassment and violence against 
     women within the ANSF;
       (V) improvements to infrastructure that address the 
     requirements of women serving in the ANSF, including

     and transportation for policewomen to their station

     SEC. 1221. DRAWDOWN OF UNITED STATES FORCES IN AFGHANISTAN.

       (a) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the drawdown of United States forces in Afghanistan 
     should be based on security conditions in Afghanistan and 
     United States security interests in the region; and
       (2) as the Afghan National Defense Security Forces develop 
     security capabilities and capacity, an appropriate United 
     States and international presence should continue, upon 
     invitation by the Government of Afghanistan, to provide 
     adequate capability and capacity to preserve gains made to 
     date and continue counterterrorism operations in Afghanistan 
     against terrorist organizations that can threaten United 
     States interests or the United States homeland.
       (b) Certification on Redeployments of US Forces From 
     Afghanistan.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than 10 days after the approval 
     by the Secretary of Defense of orders to redeploy United 
     States forces from Afghanistan in order to effect a reduction 
     of the United States force presence in Afghanistan by a 
     significant amount in accordance with plans approved by the 
     President to drawdown United States forces in Afghanistan, 
     the President shall certify to the congressional defense 
     committees that the reduction of such force presence will 
     result in an acceptable level of risk to United States 
     national security objectives taking into consideration the 
     security conditions on the ground.
       (2) Significant amount.--For the purposes of this 
     subsection, a significant amount in the reduction of the

     congressional defense committees a report on each such 
     waiver, including the national security objectives that would 
     otherwise be impeded if not for the waiver.

     Revolutionary Guards Corps and Sunni extremists associated 
     with the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL).

     the United States should--

       (4) oppose the extradition of Camp Liberty residents to 
     Iran;
       (5) implement a strategy to provide for the safe, secure, 
     and permanent relocation of Camp Liberty residents that 
     includes a relocation plan, including a detailed outline of

     SEC. 1253. INCREASED PRESENCE OF UNITED STATES GROUND FORCES 
                   IN EASTERN EUROPE TO DETER AGGRESSION ON THE 
                   BORDER OF THE NORTH ATLANTIC TREATY 
                   ORGANIZATION.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the increased presence of United States and allied 
     ground forces in Eastern Europe since April 2014 has provided 
     a level of reassurance to North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
     (NATO) members in the region and strengthened the capability 
     of the Organization to respond to any potential Russian 
     aggression against Organization members;
       (2) at the North Atlantic Treaty Organization Wales summit 
     in September 2014 member countries agreed on a Readiness 
     Action Plan which is intended to improve the ability of the 
     Organization to respond quickly and effectively to security 
     threats on the borders of the Organization, including in 
     Eastern Europe, and the challenges posed by hybrid warfare;
       (3) the capability of the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization to respond to threats on the eastern border of 
     the Organization would be enhanced by a more sustained 
     presence on the ground of Organization forces on the 
     territories of Organization members in Eastern Europe; and
       (4) an increased presence of United States ground forces in 
     Eastern Europe should be matched by an increased force 
     presence of European allies.
       (b) Report.--
       (1) In general.--Not later than 120 days after the date of 
     the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall, in 
     consultation with the Secretary of State, submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report setting forth an 
     assessment of options for expanding the presence of United 
     States ground forces of the size of a Brigade Combat Team in 
     Eastern Europe to respond, along with European allies and 
     partners, to the security challenges posed by Russia and 
     increase the combat capability of forces able to respond to 
     unconventional or hybrid warfare tactics such as those used 
     by the Russian Federation in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine.
       (2) Elements.--The report under this subsection shall 
     include the following:
       (A) An evaluation of the optimal location or locations of 
     the enhanced ground force presence described in paragraph (1) 
     that considers such factors as--
       (i) proximity, suitability, and availability of maneuver 
     and gunnery training areas;
       (ii) transportation capabilities;
       (iii) availability of facilities, including for potential 
     equipment storage and prepositioning;
       (iv) ability to conduct multinational training and 
     exercises;
       (v) a site or sites for prepositioning of equipment, a 
     rotational presence or permanent presence of troops, or a 
     combination of options; and
       (vi) costs.
       (B) A description of any initiatives by other members of 
     the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or other European 
     allies and partners, for enhancing force presence on a 
     permanent or rotational basis in Eastern Europe to match or 
     exceed the potential increased presence of United States 
     ground forces in the region.

     SEC. 1254. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON EUROPEAN DEFENSE AND NORTH 
                   ATLANTIC TREATY ORGANIZATION SPENDING.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) countries, at 
     the 2014 North Atlantic Treaty Organization Summit in Wales, 
     pledged to ``reverse the trend of declining defense budgets, 
     to make the most effective use of our funds and to further a 
     more balanced sharing of costs and responsibilities''.
       (2) Former Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel stated on May 
     2, 2014, that ``[t]oday, America's GDP is smaller than the 
     combined GDPs of our 27 NATO allies. But America's defense 
     spending is three times our Allies' combined defense 
     spending. Over time, this lopsided burden threatens NATO's 
     integrity, cohesion, and capability, and ultimately both 
     European and transatlantic security''.
       (3) Former North Atlantic Treaty Organization Secretary 
     General Anders Fogh Rasmussen stated on July 3, 2014, that 
     ``[d]uring the last five years, Russia has increased defense 
     spending by 50 percent, while NATO allies on average have 
     decrease their defense spending by 20 percent. That is not 
     sustainable, we need more investment in defense and 
     security''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) it is in the national security and fiscal interests of 
     the United States that prompt efforts should be undertaken by 
     North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies to meet defense 
     budget commitments made in Declaration 14 of the Wales Summit 
     Declaration of September 2014;
       (2) the United States Government should continue efforts 
     through the Department of Defense and other agencies to 
     encourage North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies towards 
     meeting the defense spending goals set out at the Wales 
     Summit;
       (3) some North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies have 
     already taken positive steps to reverse declines in defense 
     spending and should continue to be supported in those 
     efforts; and
       (4) thoughtful and coordinated defense investments by 
     European allies in military capabilities would add deterrence 
     value to the posture of the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization against Russian aggression and terrorist 
     organizations and more appropriately balance the share of 
     Atlantic defense spending.

     SEC. 1262. SENSE OF CONGRESS REAFFIRMING THE IMPORTANCE OF 
                   IMPLEMENTING THE REBALANCE TO THE ASIA-PACIFIC 
                   REGION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) The United States has a longstanding national interest 
     in maintaining security in the Asia-Pacific region.
       (2) The Asia-Pacific region is home to the world's three 
     largest economies, four most populous countries, and five 
     largest militaries. The Asia-Pacific's rapid economic growth 
     and mounting security tensions require a renewed focus from 
     the United States on the region to maintain security, expand 
     prosperity, and support common values.
       (3) In 2011, President Barack Obama announced that the 
     United States would rebalance to the Asia-Pacific. Since 
     then, there have been a number of actions taken to strengthen 
     the United States posture and relationships in the region, 
     including the negotiation of the Enhanced Defense Cooperation 
     Agreement with the Philippines, the distributed laydown of 
     the United States Marines Corps in the Pacific, the 
     rotational stationing of the Littoral Combat Ship in 
     Singapore, and a new comprehensive partnership with Vietnam 
     on defense and security.
       (4) Leaders in regional states remain concerned about a 
     variety of regional military challenges. These include 
     China's military modernization and its increasingly assertive 
     actions in the East and South China Sea and North Korea's 
     continued belligerence and its pursuit of nuclear and 
     ballistic missile technology. United States allies and 
     partners are looking to the United States to demonstrate its 
     willingness and ability to maintain regional peace and 
     security by fully implementing the rebalance to the Asia-
     Pacific.
       (5) In April 2015, the Commander of the United States 
     Pacific Command Admiral Samuel Locklear warned, ``Our 
     relative superiority I think has declined and continues to 
     decline. . .we rely very heavily on power projection, which 
     means we have to be able to get the forces forward. . .''. 
     Admiral Locklear also noted, ``Any significant force 
     structure moves out of my AOR in the middle of a rebalance 
     would have to be understood and have to be explained because 
     it would counterintuitive to a rebalance to move significant 
     forces in another direction.''
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) in order to maintain the credibility of the United 
     States rebalance, it is vital that the United States continue 
     to shift forces to the Asia-Pacific region to strengthen the 
     ability of the United States Armed Forces to project power to 
     shape the choices of regional states and to deter, and if 
     necessary defend, against hostile military actions;
       (2) United States allies and partners in the Asia-Pacific 
     region, as well as potential adversaries, would take note of 
     any withdrawal of forces from the Asia-Pacific theater;
       (3) any withdrawal of United States forces from Outside the 
     Continental United States (``OCONUS'') Asia-Pacific region or 
     from United States Pacific Command would therefore seriously 
     undermine the rebalance; and
       (4) in order to properly implement United States rebalance 
     policy, United States forces under the operational control of 
     the United States Pacific Command should be increased 
     consistent with commitments already made by the Department of

     SEC. 1643. ASSESSMENT OF GLOBAL NUCLEAR ENVIRONMENT.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Nuclear competition among countries has become both 
     different and in some ways more complex than was the case 
     during the Cold War.
       (2) During the 25 years preceding the date of the enactment 
     of this Act, additional countries have obtained nuclear 
     weapons. North Korea is a nuclear-armed country and Iran 
     aspires to acquire a nuclear weapons capability.
       (3) A regional nuclear competition has emerged in South 
     Asia between India and Pakistan. Another such competition may 
     emerge in the Middle East between Iran and Israel, triggering 
     a nuclear proliferation cascade across the Middle East, 
     involving Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and perhaps other countries 
     as well.
       (4) The proliferation of nuclear weapons to countries the 
     cultures of which are quite different from that of the United 
     States raises concerns regarding how leaders in those 
     countries calculate cost, benefit, and risk with respect to 
     decisions regarding the use of nuclear weapons.
       (b) Assessment Required.--The Director of Net Assessment of 
     the Department of Defense shall, in coordination with the 
     Commander of the United States Strategic Command, conduct an 
     assessment of the global environment with respect to nuclear 
     weapons and the role of United States nuclear forces, policy, 
     and strategy in that environment.
       (c) Objectives.--The objectives of the assessment required 
     by subsection (b) are to inform the long-term planning of the 
     Department of Defense and policies relating to regional 
     nuclear crises and operations that may involve the escalation 
     of nuclear competition among countries.
       (d) Requirements.--
       (1) In general.--In conducting the assessment required by 
     subsection (b), the Director shall develop and analyze a 
     range of contingencies and scenarios, including crises that 
     may emerge from nuclear competition during the 10-year period 
     beginning on the date of the enactment of this Act that 
     involve the following:
       (A) The United States and one other country that possesses 
     a nuclear weapon.
       (B) The United States and multiple such countries.
       (C) Two other such countries.
       (D) Three or more other such countries.
       (E) Regional and cross-regional geography, including 
     contingencies and scenarios in Europe, the Middle East, South 
     Asia, and East Asia, and contingencies and scenarios that 
     transcend regions.
       (F) The long-term geopolitical and military-technical 
     competition as it relates to nuclear weapons and strategic 
     warfare.
       (2) Analysis of competitive discontinuities.--In analyzing 
     the long-term geopolitical and military-technical competition 
     as it relates to nuclear weapons and strategic warfare under 
     paragraph (1)(F), the Director shall identify--
       (A) prospective discontinuities in that competition; and
       (B) strategies and capabilities the United States could 
     adopt to improve its competitive position following such 
     discontinuities.
       (e) Staffing.--In conducting the assessment required by 
     subsection (b), the Director shall engage the best talent 
     available, with particular emphasis on engaging individuals 
     and independent entities with demonstrated expertise in 
     strategy and net assessment methodology.
       (f) Report Required.--Not later than November 15, 2016, the

     SEC. 1647. SENSE OF SENATE ON THE NUCLEAR FORCE IMPROVEMENT 
                   PROGRAM OF THE AIR FORCE.

       (a) Findings.--The Senates makes the following findings:
       (1) On February 6, 2014, Air Force Global Strike Command 
     (AFGSC) initiated a force improvement program for the 
     Intercontinental Ballistic Missile (ICBM) force designed to 
     improve mission effectiveness, strengthen culture and morale, 
     and identify areas in need of investment by soliciting input 
     from airmen performing ICBM operations.
       (2) The ICBM force improvement program generated more than 
     300 recommendations to strengthen ICBM operations and served 
     as a model for subsequent force improvement programs in other 
     mission areas, such as bomber operations and sustainment.
       (3) On May 28, 2014, as part of the nuclear force 
     improvement program, the Air Force announced it would make 
     immediate improvements in the nuclear mission of the Air 
     Force, including enhancing career opportunities for airmen in 
     the nuclear career field, ensuring training activities 
     focused on performing the mission in the field, reforming the 
     personnel reliability program, establishing special pay rates 
     for positions in the nuclear career field, and creating a new 
     service medal for nuclear deterrence operations.
       (4) Chief of Staff of the Air Force Mark Welsh has said 
     that, as part of the nuclear force improvement program, the 
     Air Force will increase nuclear-manning levels and strengthen 
     professional development for the members of the Air Force 
     supporting the nuclear mission of the Air Force in order ``to 
     address shortfalls and offer our airmen more stable work 
     schedule and better quality of life''.
       (5) Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James, in 
     recognition of the importance of the nuclear mission of the 
     Air Force, proposed elevating the grade of the commander of 
     the Air Force Global Strike Command from lieutenant general 
     to general, and on March 30, 2015, the Senate confirmed a 
     general as commander of that command.

[[Page S4444]]

       (6) The Air Force redirected more than $160,000,000 in 
     fiscal year 2014 to alleviate urgent, near-term shortfalls 
     within the nuclear mission of the Air Force as part of the 
     nuclear force improvement program.
       (7) The Air Force plans to spend more than $200,000,000 on 
     the nuclear force improvement program in fiscal year 2015, 
     and requested more than $130,000,000 for the program for 
     fiscal year 2016.
       (8) Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said on November 14, 
     2014, that ``[t]he nuclear mission plays a critical role in 
     ensuring the Nation's safety. No other enterprise we have is 
     more important''.
       (9) Secretary Hagel also said that the budget for the 
     nuclear mission of the Air Force should increase by 10 
     percent over a five-year period.
       (10) Section 1652 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' 
     McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
     2015 (Public Law 113-201; 128 Stat. 3654; 10 U.S.C. 491 note) 
     declares it the policy of the United States ``to ensure that 
     the members of the Armed Forces who operate the nuclear 
     deterrent of the United States have the training, resources, 
     and national support required to execute the critical 
     national security mission of the members''.
       (b) Sense of Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that--
       (1) the nuclear mission of the Air Force should be a top 
     priority for the Department of the Air Force and for 
     Congress;
       (2) the members of the Air Force who operate and maintain 
     the Nation's nuclear deterrent perform work that is vital to 
     the security of the United States;
       (3) the nuclear force improvement program of the Air Force 
     has made significant near-term improvements for the members 
     of the Air Force in the nuclear career field of the Air 
     Force;
       (4) Congress should support long-term investments in the 
     Air Force nuclear enterprise that sustain the progress made 
     under the nuclear force improvement program;
       (5) the Air Force should--
       (A) regularly inform Congress on the progress being made 
     under the nuclear force improvement program and its efforts 
     to strengthen the nuclear enterprise; and
       (B) make Congress aware of any additional actions that 
     should be taken to optimize performance of the nuclear 
     mission of the Air Force and maximize the strength of the 
     United States strategic deterrent; and
       (6) future budgets for the Air Force should reflect the 
     importance of the nuclear mission of the Air Force and the 
     need to provide members of the Air Force assigned to the 
     nuclear mission the best possible support and quality of 
     life.

     SEC. 1652. ADDITIONAL MISSILE DEFENSE SENSOR COVERAGE FOR THE 
                   PROTECTION OF THE UNITED STATES HOMELAND.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) According to the Director of the Missile Defense 
     Agency, there are two fundamental means for improving 
     homeland missile defense capability and capacity, ``one, is 
     the reliability of the interceptor, and two, is the 
     discrimination capability of the system''.
       (2) The Department of Defense will deploy a new midcourse 
     tracking radar to provide persistent coverage and improve 
     discrimination capabilities against threats to the United 
     States homeland from the Pacific region.
       (3) According to the Director of the Missile Defense 
     Agency, a long-range discrimination radar will provide larger 
     hit assessment coverage thereby enabling improved warfighting 
     capabilities to manage ground-based interceptor (GBI) 
     inventory and improve the capacity of the ballistic missile 
     defense system.
       (4) According to the Principal Deputy Under Secretary of 
     Defense for Policy, ``while Iran has not yet deployed an 
     intercontinental ballistic missile, its progress on space 
     launch vehicles--along with its desire to deter the United 
     States and its allies--provides Tehran with the means and 
     motivation to develop longer-range missiles, including an 
     ICBM. Iran publically stated that it intends to launch a 
     space-launch vehicle as early as this year capable of 
     intercontinental ranges, if configured as such''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the currently deployed ground-based midcourse defense 
     system protects the entire United States homeland, including 
     the East Coast, against the threat of limited ballistic 
     missile attack from North Korea and Iran; and
       (2) additional missile defense sensor discrimination 
     capabilities are needed to enhance the protection of the 
     United States homeland against potential long-range ballistic 
     missiles from Iran that, according to the Department of 
     Defense, could soon be obtained by Iran as a result of its 
     active space launch program.
       (c) Deployment of Additional Coverage.--The Director of the 
     Missile Defense Agency shall, in cooperation with the 
     relevant combatant command, deploy by not later than December 
     31, 2020, a long-range discrimination radar or other 
     appropriate tracking and discrimination sensor capabilities 
     in a location optimized to support the defense of the 
     homeland of the United States from emerging long-range 
     ballistic missile threats from Iran.

       (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the relevant 
     combatant command, should ensure that arrangements are in 
     place, including support from other members of the North 
     Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), to provide anti-air 
     defense capability at all missile defense sites of the North 
     Atlantic Treaty Organization in support of phases 2 and 3 of 
     the European Phased Adaptive Approach.
       (b) Reports.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
     enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to the 
     congressional defense committees a report describing--
       (1) the plan to provide anti-air defense capability as 
     described in subsection (a); and
       (2) the contributions being made by the North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization and members of such organization to 
     support the provision of the capability described in such 
     subsection.

                   INTERMEDIATE-RANGE NUCLEAR FORCES TREATY BY THE 
                   RUSSIAN FEDERATION.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) On July 31, 2014, the Department of State released its 
     annual report entitled ``Adherence to and Compliance With 
     Arms Control, Nonproliferation, and Disarmament Agreements 
     and Commitments'', which included the finding that ``[t]he 
     United States has determined that the Russian Federation is 
     in violation of its obligations under the INF Treaty not to 
     possess, produce, or flight-test a ground-launched cruise 
     missile (GLCM) with a range capability of 500 km to 5,500 km, 
     or to possess or produce launchers of such missiles''.
       (2) The United States has undertaken diplomatic efforts to 
     address with the Russian Federation its violations of the INF 
     Treaty since 2013, and the Russian Federation has failed to 
     respond to those efforts in any way.
       (3) The Commander of the United States European Command, 
     and Supreme Allied Commander of Europe, General Philip 
     Breedlove stated that ``[a] weapon capability that violates 
     the I.N.F., that is introduced into the greater European land 
     mass, is absolutely a tool that will have to be dealt with'' 
     and ``[i]t can't go unanswered''.
       (4) The Secretary of Defense has informed Congress that the 
     range of options in response to the violation by the Russian 
     Federation of the INF Treaty could include ``active defenses 
     to counter intermediate-range ground-launched cruise 
     missiles; counterforce capabilities to prevent intermediate-
     range ground-launched cruise missile attacks; and 
     countervailing strike capabilities to enhance U.S. or allied 
     forces''.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
       (1) the development and deployment of a nuclear ground-
     launched cruise missile by the Russian Federation in 
     violation of the INF Treaty would pose a dangerous threat to 
     the United States and its allies;
       (2) the Russian Federation has established an increasing 
     role for nuclear weapons in its military strategy;
       (3) efforts taken by the President to compel the Russian 
     Federation to return to compliance

[[Page S4446]]

     with the INF Treaty must be persistent and are in the best 
     interests of the United States, but cannot be open-ended; and
       (4) efforts by the United States to develop military and 
     nonmilitary options for responding to violations of the INF 
     Treaty could encourage the Russian Federation to return to 
     compliance with the INF Treaty.
       (c) Notification.--Not later than 180 days after the date 
     of the enactment of this Act, and every 180 days thereafter, 
     the President shall notify the appropriate congressional 
     committees with respect to whether the Russian Federation--
       (1) has flight-tested, has deployed, or possesses a 
     military system that has achieved an initial operating 
     capability that is either a ground-launched ballistic missile 
     or ground-launched cruise missile with a flight-tested range 
     of between 500 and 5,500 kilometers; or
       (2) has begun taking measures to return to full compliance 
     with the INF Treaty, including verification measures 
     necessary to achieve high confidence that any missile 
     described in paragraph (1) will be eliminated.
       (d) Updates to Allies.--Not later than 180 days after the 
     date of the enactment of this Act, and every 180 days 
     thereafter, the Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the 
     Joint Chiefs of Staff shall, in coordination with the 
     Secretary of State and the Director of National Intelligence, 
     submit to the appropriate congressional committees a report 
     that describes--
       (1) the status of updates provided to the North Atlantic 
     Treaty Organization and other allies of the United States on 
     the Russian Federation's flight testing, operating 
     capability, and deployment of ground-launched ballistic 
     missiles or ground-launched cruise missiles with a flight-
     tested range of between 500 and 5,500 kilometers; and
       (2) efforts to develop, with the North Atlantic Treaty 
     Organization and such allies, collective responses, including 
     economic and military responses, to arms control violations 
     by the Russian Federation, including violations of the INF 
     Treaty.
       (e) Plan on Response Options.--
       (1) Military response options.--
       (A) In general.--If, as of the date of the enactment of 
     this Act, the Russian Federation has not begun taking 
     measures to return to full compliance with the INF Treaty, 
     including by agreeing to verification measures necessary to 
     achieve high confidence that any ground-launched ballistic 
     missile or ground-launched cruise missile with a flight-
     tested range of between 500 and 5,500 kilometers will be 
     eliminated, the Secretary of Defense shall, not later than 
     120 days after such date of enactment, submit to Congress a 
     plan with respect to developing the following military 
     capabilities:
       (i) Counterforce capabilities to prevent intermediate-range 
     ground-launched ballistic missile and cruise missile attacks, 
     whether or not such capabilities are in compliance with the 
     INF Treaty and including capabilities that may be acquired 
     from allies of the United States.
       (ii) Countervailing strike capabilities to enhance the 
     forces of the United States or allies of the United States, 
     whether or not such capabilities are in compliance with the 
     INF Treaty and including capabilities that may be acquired 
     from allies of the United States.
       (iii) Active defenses to defend against intermediate-range 
     ground-launched cruise missile attacks.
       (B) Cost and schedule estimates.--The Secretary shall 
     include, in the plan required by subparagraph (A), with 
     respect to each military capability described in clauses (i), 
     (ii), and (iii) of that subparagraph, an estimate of cost and 
     the approximate time for achieving a Milestone A decision, if 
     such a decision is required.
       (C) Availability of funds for recommended capabilities.--

                   PROTECTION FOR INSTALLATIONS, FACILITIES, AND 
                   PERSONNEL OF THE DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE.

       (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
       (1) Maintaining appropriate force protection for deployed 
     personnel of the Department of Defense and their families is 
     a priority for Congress.
       (2) Installations, facilities, and personnel of the 
     Department in Europe face a rising threat from international 
     terrorist groups operating in Europe, from individuals 
     inspired by such groups, and from those traversing through 
     Europe to join or return from fighting the terrorist 
     organization known as the ``Islamic State of Iraq and the 
     Levant'' (ISIL) in Iraq and Syria.
       (3) Robust military intelligence support to force 
     protection is necessary to detect and thwart potential 
     terrorist plots that, if successful, would have strategic 
     consequences for the United States and the allies of the 
     United States in Europe.
       (4) Military intelligence support is also important for 
     detecting and addressing early indicators and warnings of 
     aggression and assertive military action by Russia, 
     particularly action by Russia to destabilize Europe with 
     hybrid or asymmetric warfare.
       (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that 
     the Secretary of Defense should maintain and enhance robust 
     military intelligence support to force protection for 
     installations, facilities, and personnel of the Department of 
     Defense and the family members of such personnel, in Europe 
     and worldwide.
