BACKGROUND

Purpose of the Bill

This bill makes appropriations for the military functions
of the Department of Defense for the period October 1, 2014,
through September 30, 2015. Functional areas include the pay,
allowances, and support of military personnel, operation and
maintenance of the forces, procurement of equipment and
systems, and research, development, test and evaluation.
Appropriations for foreign military assistance, military
construction, family housing, nuclear weapons programs, and
civil defense are provided in other bills.

Hearings

The Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense began hearings
on March 5, 2014, and concluded them on June 18, 2014, after 11
separate sessions. The subcommittee heard testimony from
representatives of the Department of Defense, other Federal
agencies, and representatives of organizations.

Summary of the Bill

The Committee recommendation of $542,771,568,000 includes
funding to develop, maintain, and equip the military forces of
the United States and for other purposes in nonemergency
appropriations.
The fiscal year 2015 budget request for activities funded
in the Department of Defense appropriations bill totals
$544,122,025,000 in new budget authority, including
$59,868,030,000 in contingency funding for the Departments of
State and Defense and $514,000,000 in mandatory spending.
In fiscal year 2014, the Congress appropriated
$565,093,629,000 for activities funded in this bill. This
amount includes $480,066,687,000 in nonemergency appropriations
and $85,026,942,000 in overseas contingency operations
appropriations. The Committee recommends that funds requested
for Coast Guard overseas contingency operations be appropriated
directly to the Department of Homeland Security.
The Committee recommendation in this bill is
$22,322,061,000 below the amount provided in fiscal year 2014
and $1,350,457,000 below the amount requested for fiscal year
2015.

The Committee has displayed recommended adjustments in
tables presented under each appropriation account.
These adjustments reflect the following Committee actions:
elimination of funds requested for programs which are lower
priority, duplicative, or not supported by firm requirements in
out-year development or procurement appropriations; deletion of
excess funds based on program delays or slow execution;
addition of funds to reflect congressional priorities and to
rectify shortfalls in the budget estimate; and implementation
of recommendations in S. 2410, the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, as reported.
The Committee directs that the funding increases outlined
in these tables shall be provided only for the specific
purposes indicated in the table.

CLASSIFIED PROGRAM ADJUSTMENTS

The Committee recommends adjustments to certain classified
programs, as explained in the classified annex to the
Committee's report.

Definition of Program, Project and Activity

In fiscal year 2015, for purposes of the Balanced Budget
and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-177),
as amended, the term ``program, project and activity'' for
appropriations contained in this act shall be defined as the
most specific level of budget items identified in the
Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2015 and the P-1 and
R-1 budget justification documents as subsequently modified by
congressional action. The following exception to the above
definition shall apply: for the military personnel and
operation and maintenance accounts the term ``program, project
and activity'' is defined as the appropriations accounts
contained in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act.
In carrying out any Presidential sequestration, the
Department of Defense and agencies shall conform to the
definition for ``program, project and activity'' set forth
above.

Reprogramming Guidance

The Secretary of Defense is directed to continue to follow
the reprogramming guidance for acquisition accounts as
specified in the report accompanying the House version of the
fiscal year 2008 Department of Defense Appropriations bill
(House Report 110-279). For operation and maintenance accounts,
the Secretary of Defense shall continue to follow the
reprogramming guidelines specified in the conference report
accompanying H.R. 3222, the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2008. The dollar threshold for
reprogramming funds shall remain at $15,000,000 for operation
and maintenance; $20,000,000 for procurement; and $10,000,000
for research, development, test and evaluation.
In addition, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller)
is directed to continue to provide the congressional defense
committees annual DD Form 1416 reports for titles I and II and
quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD Form 1416 reports for service
and defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of this act.
Reports for titles III and IV shall comply with guidance
specified in the explanatory statement accompanying the
Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006. The Department
shall continue to follow the limitation that prior approval
reprogrammings are set at either the specified dollar threshold
or 20 percent of the procurement or research, development, test
and evaluation line, whichever is less. These thresholds are
cumulative from the base for reprogramming value as modified by
any adjustments. Therefore, if the combined value of transfers
into or out of an operation and maintenance (O-1), a
procurement (P-1), or a research, development, test and
evaluation (R-1) line exceeds the identified threshold, the
Secretary of Defense must submit a prior approval reprogramming
to the congressional defense committees. In addition,
guidelines on the application of prior approval reprogramming
procedures for congressional special interest items are
established elsewhere in this statement.

Committee Initiatives

The Committee has included funding above the President's
budget request for several programmatic initiatives which the
Committee believes are of inherent value for national defense.
In several cases, funds are restored for programs which were
included in previous Department of Defense budget requests, and
several are for programs that the Committee believes are
necessary to improve defense even though they have not been
included under the request formulated by the Department of
Defense. For instance, the Committee provides additional
research funding in the following areas: medical research,
basic research, alternative energy, advanced metals and
materials, military burn treatment, and traumatic brain injury
and psychological health. The Committee believes additional
research funding is warranted in these and other areas to
ensure that the Department of Defense continues to pursue
technological advances that are critical to our national
defense. The Committee has also provided funding for programs
that are chronically underfunded, such as range conservation;
facility sustainment, restoration, and modernization;
corrosion; and Defense Production Act purchases. The Committee
directs that funds for these initiatives are to be
competitively awarded or provided to programs that have
received competitive awards in the past.

TOBACCO USE IN THE MILITARY

Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in
the United States, with more than 480,000 deaths attributable
to cigarette smoking each year. While great strides have been
made over the past 50 years to reduce tobacco use in the U.S.
military, use among Armed Forces servicemembers remains higher
than in the population as a whole. According to a 2011
Department of Defense health behavior survey, 24 percent of
servicemembers smoke, compared to 20 percent of civilians. The
gap in smokeless tobacco use is even higher: according to the
same Department survey, 12.8 percent of servicemembers used
smokeless tobacco products, including electronic cigarettes,
compared to 2.3 percent of the civilian population. Survey data
show this usage is much higher among junior enlisted
servicemembers than officers. A 2008 DOD study found that one
in three military smokers began doing so after enlisting. The
Institute of Medicine in 2009 noted that tobacco use costs the
Department more than $1,600,000,000 annually in tobacco-related
medical care, increased hospitalizations, and lost days of
work. In addition to these costs, smoking undermines military
readiness by compromising physical fitness in the short-term,
and causing or contributing to serious health problems, such as
lung cancer and delayed wound healing, in the long-term.
The Department of Defense has affirmed the goal of a
tobacco-free military, and has implemented a range of programs
including public-education campaigns, the banning of all
tobacco use during basic training, and the prohibition of
tobacco use by instructors in the presence of students.
However, inexpensive, readily available tobacco products remain
a major driver of tobacco use, just as in the general
population. In recognition of this, the Navy has led efforts to
curb tobacco use and promote evidenced-based tobacco prevention
strategies, such as eliminating the sale of tobacco in Navy
commissaries and ending discounts on tobacco prices in Navy and
Marine Corps exchanges in 2012. In 2012, the Air Force also set
a goal of becoming tobacco-free. Earlier this year, the
Secretary of Defense began a comprehensive review of the
Department's tobacco policies.
The Committee applauds these efforts and encourages the
Department to continue to advance rapidly toward a tobacco-free
military. In support of these goals, the Committee includes a
provision directing the elimination of the price subsidy
provided to tobacco products at military exchanges. This reform
directs the Department to implement a consistent, verifiable
price benchmark for tobacco products at exchanges, as recent
surveys by the National Institutes of Health indicate that Army
and Air Force exchange prices for cigarettes in practice to be
between 14-25 percent lower than market price, despite
Department of Defense Instruction 1330.9, which allows only a 5
percent discount.

SEXUAL ASSAULT

The Committee remains extremely concerned with the level of
sexual assault in the military. The most recent report from the
Department found cases of reported sexual assaults increased 50
percent over the past year. The Committee applauds the
Department initiative to rescreen and retrain recruiters and
sexual assault prevention officers but believes more needs to
be done to create a culture throughout the military in which
sexual assault is not tolerated.
The Committee also believes that victims of sexual assault
should not be subjected to further alienation during the
investigation and prosecution of their case. In January 2013,
the Air Force began a Special Victims' Counsel pilot program
that provides victims with a trained military lawyer to provide
legal assistance and support as a case makes its way through
the often arduous criminal justice process. The Committee
commends the Air Force on this program and sees it as a
positive step in giving victims the voice and support they
deserve. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 included
$25,000,000 for the Department to implement the Special
Victims' Counsel program across all the services. In order to
build on this progress, the Committee includes an additional
$25,000,000 in fiscal year 2015 for the continuation and
expansion of the Special Victims' Counsel program.

ISRAELI MISSILE DEFENSE PROGRAMS

The fiscal year 2015 budget request includes $272,775,000
for Israeli missile defense programs within the Missile Defense
Agency [MDA] budget, including $175,972,000 for the procurement
of Iron Dome, which concludes a previously made U.S. commitment
to provide $680,000,000 from fiscal years 2012 to 2015 for the
Iron Dome program in response to a request from the Government
of Israel. The Committee continues its strong, bi-partisan
support for Israeli missile defense programs to ensure the
fulfillment of Israel's missile defense needs and retention of
Israel's qualitative military edge. The Committee notes the
long-standing and successful contributions of U.S. industry
towards meeting these goals, to include co-production of Arrow
and David's Sling components; and, beginning in fiscal year
2014, co-production of Iron Dome.
Following submission of the fiscal year 2015 budget
submission, the funding requirement for Iron Dome increased,
and recommends an additional $175,000,000, which brings U.S.
investment in Iron Dome production since fiscal year 2011 to
over $1,000,000,000. The Committee notes that the Iron Dome
program, which was developed by Israel solely with Israeli
funding, is not subject to conditions of other joint Israeli-
U.S. cooperative missile defense programs, but rather is
governed by a Memorandum of Agreement signed in March 2014.
Therefore, the Committee directs that funds appropriated in
fiscal year 2015 for Iron Dome be subject to the terms and
provisions of this Memorandum of Agreement, as amended to
reflect an agreed-upon implementation plan between MDA and the
Israeli Missile Defense Organization [IMDO].
In addition, the Committee directs that not more than
$175,972,000 may be obligated or expended for Iron Dome in
fiscal year 2015 until IMDO provides additional justification
and documentation to the United States Department of Defense
and MDA containing a timeline for Iron Dome expenditure of
funds included in the fiscal year 2015 budget request and any
additional funds recommended in fiscal year 2015, as well as a
delivery schedule for items funded with these and prior year
funds; and a report to MDA documenting full and complete
delivery by Israeli industry and acceptance by U.S. industry
suppliers of all technical data packages required for U.S. co-
production of Iron Dome. Further, this report shall document
that all export licenses required to enable the release of
classified technical data packages from the U.S. prime
contractor to U.S. subcontractors are completed; a common cost
model of Iron Dome components--to be jointly developed and
agreed upon by MDA and IMDO--that includes recurring and non-
recurring engineering costs; actual Iron Dome production costs
beginning in fiscal year 2013; and component lead-times and
delivery schedules for each fiscal year thereafter.
The Committee expects that to fully satisfy the
requirements listed above, the Government of Israel will
provide to MDA copies of signed and ratified contracts,
subcontracts, and teaming arrangements between Israeli and U.S.
industry for all Iron Dome co-production efforts. The Committee
understands that moving forward with Iron Dome co-production
will not negatively impact development, test and production
schedules of the Arrow and David's Sling programs, which the
Committee continues to fully support. Therefore, the Committee
recommends an additional $173,800,000 for the Arrow and David's
Sling programs.

CVN 73 REFUELING AND COMPLEX OVERHAUL [RCOH]

The fiscal year 2015 budget request includes no funds to
continue the refueling and complex overhaul of CVN 73, USS
George Washington. The Committee notes that $329,700,000 has
previously been appropriated in the Shipbuilding and
Conversion, Navy account for the CVN 73 RCOH to support the
aircraft carrier's drydock induction in September 2016. With
the fiscal year 2015 budget submission, the Navy announced its
intention to make a decision with the fiscal year 2016 budget
submission as to whether to refuel or prematurely retire CVN
73. The Committee understands that deferring this decision
creates significant programmatic and operational schedule
delays for the RCOH.
CVN 73 has more than 20 years of service life remaining,
and the Navy cannot meet all U.S. combatant commanders'
requirements with the current aircraft carrier fleet.
Furthermore, U.S. law requires the Navy to maintain not less
than 11 operational aircraft carries. The Committee notes that
contrary to its previously stated position, the Navy has now
decided to immediately continue CVN 73 RCOH with previously
appropriated funds. The Committee fully supports this decision.
Therefore, the Committee recommendation includes an additional
$849,800,000 in the Navy's military personnel, operation and
maintenance, shipbuilding, and other procurement accounts to
fully fund the fiscal year 2015 requirement for CVN 73 RCOH,
which will mitigate the schedule delays caused by the Navy's
inaction. The Committee expects the Navy to include all
remaining funds required to complete the CVN 73 RCOH in the
Future Years Defense Program accompanying the fiscal year 2016
budget submission.

SHIP MODERNIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUSTAINMENT FUND [SMOSF]

The fiscal year 2015 budget request includes a new proposal
by the Navy to remove 11 Ticonderoga-class guided missile
cruisers and three amphibious dock landing ships from the
operational fleet and lay them up for several years under a
phased modernization plan. This proposal does not conform with
direction provided in the Fiscal Year 2013 National Defense
Authorization Act, the Fiscal Year 2014 National Defense
Authorization Act, the Department of Defense Appropriations
Act, 2013, and the Department of Defense Appropriations Act,
2014. The Committee notes that the Navy's proposal removes more
Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruisers and amphibious dock
landing ships from the operational fleet than previously
proposed, relies on the congressional defense committees
providing additional financial management and acquisition
authorities, and the Navy's budget plan does not contain full
funding in the outyears for this proposal.
The Committee does not support the Navy's proposal due to
concerns over the duration of the proposed lay-up period for
several of the ships, the additional authorities required, and
severe doubts as to whether the Navy would execute the phased
modernization plan as proposed given the volatility in Navy
budgets in recent years. Further, the Committee is perturbed by
the Navy's disregard for congressional direction provided for
two consecutive years. Therefore, the Committee recommendation
denies the Navy's proposal and instead recommends a modified
modernization plan that conforms with the Navy's proposal to
expand the application of SMOSF funds to four additional
Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruisers and an additional
amphibious dock landing ship, while modifying the induction
schedule for the SMOSF ships' modernization. The Committee
notes that the SMOSF contains over $1,700,000,000, which is
sufficient to fund this plan in the near-term and expects the
Navy to budget for additional funds required in the mid- and
long-term.

ENGAGEMENT ON ARCTIC ISSUES

The Committee notes that the physical changes in the Arctic
are unprecedented in both their rate and scope of change. In
addition to the economic and social concerns, numerous studies,
including the 2010 and 2014 Quadrennial Defense Reviews and the
U.S. Navy Arctic Roadmap, have documented the significant
impact that a rapidly changing Arctic has on national security,
to include an increasing number of vessels expected to be
operating in the Arctic Ocean in the summer and fall months.
The Arctic Council has grown significantly in recent years
with increased influence, visibility, and membership. As of May
2013, China, Japan, Singapore, India, the Republic of Korea,
and Italy have been granted observer status. In 2015, the
United States will assume its 2-year Chair of the Arctic
Council, succeeding Canada in this role. In view of the
increasing significance and importance of the Arctic Council,
and the United States' upcoming leadership in this body, the
Committee urges the Secretary of Defense to continue to examine
ways the Department can support engagement on Arctic issues,
including funding for better Arctic Domain Awareness, mapping
the U.S. Arctic waters, and enhanced observations and
prediction of Arctic weather, ocean, and ice conditions.

NATIONAL SECURITY IMPLICATIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGE

The Committee commends the Department for its ongoing
review of the effect of sea-level rise, shifting climate zones
and severe weather events on the Department's bases worldwide.
As the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review notes, ``The impacts of
climate change may increase the frequency, scale, and
complexity of future missions, including defense support to
civil authorities, while at the same time undermining the
capacity of our domestic installations to support training
activities.'' In light of the potential operational risks, the
Under Secretary of Defense for Policy is directed to provide a
report to the congressional defense committees within 90 days
of enactment of this act identifying the most serious and
likely climate-related security risks for each combatant
command and the ways in which the combatant commands are
integrating mitigation of these risks into their planning
processes, including in the areas of humanitarian disaster
relief, security cooperation, building partner capacity, and
sharing best practices for mitigation of installation
vulnerabilities. The report shall provide a description of the
resources required for an effective response and the timeline
of when those resources will be needed.

CYBER SECURITY: ROLES OF FEDERAL RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS

The Committee remains concerned about continued ambiguities
in the roles and responsibilities of various government
entities with regard to our Nation's cyber defense. The
Departments of Defense, Homeland Security, and Justice each
have major roles to play in defining a cyber defense posture,
as do State and local governments, academia, industry, and
others.
The Committee wishes to better understand the roles that
can, or should, be played by Federally Funded Research and
Development Centers [FFRDC], National Laboratories, University
Affiliated Research Centers [UARC], the military service's
research laboratories, and similar organizations, all of which
could provide substantial expertise in cyber security, but
whose actions in this regard must be carefully coordinated to
most efficiently utilize the resources available to address
this difficult topic.
The Committee directs the Department to brief congressional
defense and intelligence committees on the Department's
governance construct to apportion, deconflict, and evaluate the
cyber security research and development efforts among the
Nation's FFRDCs, National Laboratories, UARCs, military
research laboratories, and similar organizations, as well as
whether expanding relationships with these organizations is
warranted. To the extent practical, this brief should also
address cyber security areas in which the Department of Defense
recognizes that the Departments of Homeland Security and
Justice have the leading role. Finally, the Committee
recognizes the contributions of the Department in working with
the Council of Governors on forming a Joint Action Plan for
State-Federal Unity of Effort on Cybersecurity and encourages
the Department to continue its collaborative efforts.

CYBER RED TEAM CAPABILITIES

The identification of cyber vulnerabilities is critical to
protecting the Nation from adversaries in the cyber domain and
the Committee commends the Department's efforts to enhance and
develop cyber threat emulation capabilities through the use of
cyber red teams. The Committee also supports efforts of the
Department of Defense and U.S. Cyber Command to create a Cyber
Mission Force consisting of several categories of cyber teams
and urges the Department to consider recognizing a formal
requirement for the expertise and competencies resident within
cyber red teams. Moreover, the Committee is concerned that
existing cyber red team capacity be maintained during the Cyber
Mission Force transition to meet the increasing demand for
cyber threat emulation, training, and skill development.
Accordingly, the Department of Defense, Services, and National
Guard shall not reduce cyber red team capacity or unit
strength. In addition, the Committee directs the Department to
brief the defense subcommittee, no later than 90 days after
enactment of this act, regarding the current and future
requirements for cyber red team capabilities and its
initiatives to retain and enhance cyber red team capacity.

DEFENSE CYBER TRAINING AND EDUCATION

The Committee understands that U.S. Cyber Command and other
Department of Defense elements have made substantial progress
in maturing the military's plans to incorporate cyber
requirements into training and doctrine. The Department's 2011
Strategy for Operating in Cyberspace stated that continued
education and training will be hallmarks of the cyber
workforce. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to
report to congressional defense committees, within 180 days of
the enactment of this act, on a plan for its cyber education
program for officers and enlisted personnel. The report shall
include definitions of military occupational specialties/rating
specialties for each service along with the corresponding level
of training, education, qualifications, and/or certificates
required for each specialty, covering the full continuum of
professional development from initial entry training to senior
service war colleges.

CYBER RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT WITH UNIVERSITIES

The National Security Agency [NSA], in coordination with
the Department of Homeland Security, currently sponsors the
National Centers of Academic Excellence in Information
Assurance Education and Information Assurance Research. Within
the Information Systems Security Program [ISSP], the NSA
conducts classified cyber-related research and development
program through partnerships with certain universities. The
Committee understands that these relationships with
universities have proven productive. Accordingly, the Committee
recommends an additional $7,500,000 to support these
relationships with academia.

AWARD AND INCENTIVE FEES

In 2006, the Government Accountability Office [GAO]
reviewed 50 programs and determined that between April 2006 and
October 2010, the Department of Defense could save in excess of
$450,000,000 by not offering contractors a second opportunity
to win unearned fees, and save more than $68,000,000 by using
more clearly defined determination criteria. After the
Department of Defense updated its guidance, the GAO issued a
follow-up report in May 2009 that highlighted where
implementation of the new award/incentive fee guidance resulted
in savings. The follow-up report also recommended that the
Secretary of Defense further promote the application of the
updated guidance. To better understand the extent to which the
Department of Defense has implemented the updated guidance, the
Committee directs the GAO to review the original 50 programs to
determine the actual amount of unearned award/incentive fees
that were saved. The Committee further directs the GAO to
assess additional policy changes that could be implemented to
guarantee that contractors are only awarded performance bonuses
that they have earned.

FIRE AND BUILDING SAFETY ACCORD

The Committee commends the Marine Corps Trademark and
Licensing Office for adopting a requirement to abide by the
Accord for Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh. The
Committee includes a general provision implementing this
standard across all the services' exchanges for garments
produced by the exchanges' private label brands and to the
extent practicable, for garments provided by vendors and
suppliers.
The Committee includes a second general provision directing
the trademark and licensing offices of the services to adopt a
requirement that its licensees which manufacture in Bangladesh
also become signatories to the Accord or otherwise abide by its
conditions. Further, in order to better understand the
magnitude of Department of Defense purchases from businesses
worldwide which may have similar safety and labor violations,
the Secretary of Defense is directed to provide annual reports,
no later than March 1 of each year, to the congressional
defense committees, which disclose all factories producing
private label and direct-import garments sold in the commissary
and exchange systems, including factory name, address, and
brand(s), private label(s), licensee(s) or retail supplier(s)
sourcing from that factory from the prior year.

HUMAN RIGHTS VETTING

Section 8056 prohibits training, equipment, or other
assistance for the members of a unit of a foreign security
force if the Secretary of Defense has credible information that
the unit has committed a gross violation of human rights. In a
modification from current law, the Committee recommendation
limits the exception in subsection (b) and broadens the waiver
authority in subsection (c). Section 8056 does not require, and
the Committee does not expect, a unit or members of such unit
to be vetted for eligibility to receive such training,
equipment, or other assistance prior to the Secretary's use of
the waiver authority in subsection (c).

NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY REPORTS

The Committee directs the National Security Agency [NSA] to
provide to the congressional intelligence committees, and the
Senate Committee on the Judiciary, and the House Committee on
the Judiciary, no later than 90 days after enactment of this
act:
--A report, unclassified to the greatest extent possible,
setting forth:
--For the last 5 years, on an annual basis, the number of
records acquired by NSA as part of the bulk
telephone metadata program authorized by the
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, pursuant
to section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act, and the
number of such records that have been reviewed by
NSA personnel in response to a query of such
records; and
--To the extent possible, an estimate of the number of
records of United States persons that have been
acquired by NSA as part of the bulk telephone
metadata program and the number of such records
that have been reviewed by NSA personnel in
response to a query.
--A report, unclassified to the greatest extent possible, and
with a classified annex if necessary, describing all
NSA bulk collection activities, including when such
activities began, the cost of such activities, what
types of records have been collected in the past, what
types of records are currently being collected, and any
plans for future bulk collection.
--A report, unclassified to the greatest extent possible, and
with a classified annex if necessary, including a list
of terrorist activities that were disrupted, in whole
or in part, with the aid of information obtained
through NSA's telephone metadata program and whether
this information could have been promptly obtained by
other means.

GUANTANAMO BAY DETAINEES

The Committee notes the continuing costs associated with
maintaining the detention facilities at Naval Station,
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Based on cost figures provided by the
Department of Defense, the annual cost to house a detainee at
the facility on Guantanamo Bay is approximately $2,768,902 per
year. According to a May 2013 GAO report, the annual cost to
incarcerate an individual at a maximum security Bureau of
Prisons facility within the United States is approximately
$78,000 per year. The cost to house a detainee at a U.S.
military detention facility is comparable to that of a U.S.
civilian facility at an annual estimated cost of $78,696.
The mission for detention of individuals at Guantanamo Bay
was never envisioned by the military to be long-term.
Facilities that were originally built to be temporary have
outlived their service life. For example, the current medical
clinic used to manage the healthcare of an aging detainee
population currently functions with inadequate space and is
lacking proper medical treatment equipment. The Committee notes
that the base hospital is the only service facility for chronic
care. Due to security considerations, the hospital must be used
after hours or closed down during daytime operations to
accommodate emergencies for detainees. The estimated cost to
modify and develop a new medical facility is approximately
$11,000,000.
Another example of a facility operating beyond its intended
usage is the temporary troop quarters housing service members
who are supporting the detention mission. In many instances the
rooms are overcrowded and continue to deteriorate. The intense
year-round heat and humidity are burdening air handling
equipment, degrading metal support infrastructure and corroding
plumbing infrastructure at an accelerated rate. Many of these
temporary facilities are a disservice to the men and women who
carry out a challenging mission. Replacement housing facilities
would cost over $100,000,000 in military construction funds,
further raising the costs on sustaining a facility that was not
intended to be permanent.
As fiscal budget pressures for the Department continue,
combined with the aging infrastructure used to house and treat
detainees, the Committee believes continuing the detention
mission at Guantanamo Bay will continue to rise and become cost
prohibitive, especially as further reductions in the detention
population would not lead to substantial cost savings in
infrastructure or operations. Greater effort must be made to
find a longer term solution to the detention mission.

TITLE I

MILITARY PERSONNEL

Funds appropriated under this title provide the resources
required for basic pay, retired pay accrual, employers'
contribution for Social Security taxes, basic allowance for
subsistence, basic allowance for housing, special and incentive
pays, permanent change of station travel, and other personnel
costs for uniformed members of the Armed Forces.
The President's fiscal year 2015 budget requests a total of
$128,957,593,000 for military personnel appropriations. This
request funds an Active component end strength of 1,308,600 and
a Reserve component end strength of 820,800.

SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION

The Committee recommends military personnel appropriations
totaling $128,430,543,000 for fiscal year 2015. This is
$527,050,000 below the budget estimate.
Committee recommended military personnel appropriations for
fiscal year 2015 are summarized below:

Military Personnel Overview

Retired Pay Accrual Shortfall.--In February 2014, Congress
reversed a provision in the Bipartisan Budget Act (Public Law
113-67) that reduced the annual cost-of-living adjustment
[COLA] for military retirees under the age of 62 by one
percent. In order to follow through on this COLA adjustment and
fully fund the military retirement accounts in fiscal year
2015, the Committee includes an additional $507,500,000
throughout the military personnel accounts.
Reserve Component Budget Reporting.--The Committee
continues its requirement for the Department to provide a semi-
annual detailed report to the congressional defense committees
showing transfers between subactivities within the military
personnel appropriation. Reports shall be submitted not later
than 30 days following the end of the second quarter and 30
days following the end of the fiscal year.
Unobligated Balances.--A Government Accountability Office
analysis of past year obligation rates shows that the services
continue to underexecute their military personnel accounts. Due
to excess unobligated balances, the Committee recommends a
total reduction of $761,620,000 from the fiscal year 2015
military personnel accounts.
Career Intermission Pilot Program.--The Career Intermission
Pilot Program presents a unique opportunity for servicemembers
to take a career intermission, without penalty, before
returning to active duty service to continue their military
career. The program has proven to be a valuable retention tool
for the Department as it provides servicemembers with the
chance to address a multitude of personal or professional
matters, such as caring for a family member with a disability
or illness, or pursuing higher education. The Committee
understands that the Navy is currently the only service
utilizing this pilot program and encourages the Army and Air
Force to use this effective career management tool. To better
understand the effectiveness of this pilot program, the
Committee directs the Government Accountability Office to
provide the congressional defense committees a report within 90
days after enactment of this act on the impacts of this program
on retention within the services. The report should examine how
the program has been implemented by the Navy and what elements
can be implemented by the Army and Air Force in order to
maximize the program's usefulness to servicemembers.
Enlistment of DACA Recipients.--The Committee is concerned
that immigrants who have received Deferred Action for Childhood
Arrivals [DACA] are not authorized to enlist in the Armed
Forces, which has a negative impact on military recruitment and
readiness. Under 10 U.S.C. section 504, Service Secretaries can
authorize the enlistment of non-citizens when it is ``vital to
the national interest.'' Enlisting DACA recipients would allow
the Armed Forces to access an expanded pool of recruits. To be
eligible for DACA, an individual must have entered the United
States as a child; graduated from secondary school, obtained a
general equivalency degree, or be currently enrolled in school;
and not have a serious criminal record. DACA recipients are, by
definition, educated and integrated into American society, and
many have shown an interest in and aptitude for military
service through participation in Junior Reserve Officers'
Training Corps [JROTC]. The requirements to qualify for DACA
are similar to those for legislation known as the DREAM
(Development Relief and Education of Alien Minors) Act. In
2011, Dr. Clifford Stanley, then-Undersecretary of Defense for
Personnel and Readiness, testified in support of the DREAM Act,
noting it would allow the Department of Defense ``to expand the
market of high-quality youth to the advantage of military
recruitment and readiness.'' In 2010, then-Secretary of Defense
Robert Gates said the DREAM Act ``will result in improved
recruitment results and attendant gains in unit manning and
military performance.'' Accordingly, the Committee urges the
Secretary of Defense, not later than 90 days after enactment of
this act, to authorize the enlistment of DACA recipients
pursuant to 10 U.S.C. Section 504.
Enlistment of Individuals with Disabilities in the Armed
Forces.--In Senate report 113-85, the Committee directed the
Department of the Air Force to study the feasibility and
advisability of permitting individuals with auditory
impairment, including deafness, to access as officers in the
Armed Forces. The Committee is disappointed in the quality of
the response from the Department on this issue and questions
the methodology used to conduct these studies in which normal
hearing individuals used hearing-loss simulation devices to
approximate the effects of impaired hearing.
The Committee strongly believes that the Department should
examine more fully and more accurately the viability of
allowing individuals with disabilities to enlist and directs
the Department to provide a report to the congressional defense
committees within 120 days of enactment of this act that
includes an examination of which military occupational
specialties are best suited for individuals with disabilities.
The Committee further directs the Department to study this
issue, utilizing an independent agency with expertise in
disability law and accommodations to structure and supervise
the study, and using individuals with actual disabilities, who
have adapted and modified their way of life to their
disability, in order to gain a more accurate reflection of how
such individuals would fare in fitness-for-duty tests.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW

Civilian Workforce.--The civilian workforce has faced many
challenges over the past several years. In 2013, the Department
took specific action to release temporary employees, freeze
hiring, and furlough most of its civilian workforce due to
sequestration. The Committee expects the Department to maintain
a stable, effective, right-sized civilian cadre. The Committee
recognizes the critical role that the civilian workforce plays
every day in ensuring the mission success of the Armed Forces
and fully funds the 1 percent pay raise for civilian personnel
as requested.
Workforce Management.--The Committee supports a workforce
management plan that is fair for all sectors of the workforce.
Decisions on sourcing new work, expanding existing
responsibilities, or transferring functions currently performed
by civilian personnel or contractors to performance by military
personnel must not proceed without comparing the costs
according to the Department's own methodology. Therefore,
decisions whether to assign new work which is not inherently
governmental, closely associated with inherently governmental
functions, or critical to military, civilian, or contractor
personnel, shall be based on the results of the costing
methodology laid out in Department of Defense Instruction
[DODI] 7041.04. Additionally, before converting functions
performed by civilian personnel or contractors to performance
by military personnel that are not required by law or
regulation to be performed by military personnel, the
Department shall adhere to its own costing methodology laid out
in Department of Defense Instruction [DODI] 7041.04.
Contract Services Spending.--Recent analysis by the
Government Accountability Office found that the Department of
Defense failed to adhere to the enacted limitations on
contracted services in the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-81), exceeding the
limitations by more than $1,000,000,000 in fiscal year 2012.
Moreover, guidance for adherence to the extension of the
limitations for fiscal year 2014 has yet to be issued. The
Committee is concerned that the Department does not have
adequate policies, procedures, and controls in place to enforce
limitations on the annual amounts expended on contracted
services.
The Committee is also concerned that not all contracted
services are being subjected to the spending limitations
because of the exclusion of contracted services involving
Economy Act transfers between and within Department of Defense
components. Also, because of the disparity between the levels
of contracted services captured in the Inventory of Contracts
for Services, required under section 2330a of title 10, United
States Code, and what the Department budgets for contracted
services, the Committee concludes that the Department does not
deliberately plan for most contracted services. The Committee
urges a review of the efforts by the Under Secretary of Defense
(Comptroller) and the Department's financial management and
acquisition communities to implement effective control
mechanisms for contracted services spending.
Overestimation of Civilian Workforce.--While the Committee
supports a strong civilian workforce, the fiscal year 2015
budget request substantially overestimates the number of
civilians that will be employed during fiscal year 2015.
Through analysis directed by the Committee during the budget
review, each service and defense agency identified the current
estimate for civilian full time equivalents [FTE] that will be
on the books in fiscal year 2014 and it is far short of what
was planned for in the budget request. The Committee
understands the difficulties in predicting civilian FTE levels,
particularly during the past several turbulent years. However,
the Committee cannot ignore that the Army, Navy and Air Force
are estimating to finish fiscal year 2014 thousands of civilian
FTEs lower than each service anticipated. Therefore, the
Committee recommends reductions in fiscal year 2015 due to
overestimation of civilian FTE targets.
Quarterly End Strength Report.--In its analysis of civilian
personnel numbers, the Committee used the ``Congressional End
Strength Quarterly Report for DOD'' dated March 22, 2014, to
inform its review. Each service was asked to comment on the
data provided in their operation and maintenance appropriation
in an attempt to validate the numbers in the column titled
``Number of people paid.'' Unfortunately, not one service was
able to validate the numbers on the quarterly report.
Therefore, the Committee directs that the information on the
quarterly end strength report be validated by each service and
the Office of the Secretary of Defense in the case of Defense-
Wide appropriations, prior to submission.
Voluntary Military Education Programs--Tracking Outcomes.--
The Committee is concerned about the lack of information
available on the outcomes of students receiving Tuition
Assistance and My Career Advancement Account [MyCAA] benefits.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Department to submit a
report tracking such outcomes of each of these programs. The
report shall be submitted on or before June 1, 2015, and shall
include, but not be limited to, the following data totals for
calendar year 2014: an aggregate graduation rate, loan default
rate, and average indebtedness. Additionally, the report shall
then disaggregate the data to show these same metrics by
sector: public, private for-profit, and private not-for-profit.
Finally, the report shall include the percentage of
servicemembers utilizing the Top-Up program for voluntary
military education and the average dollar amount of usage. The
Department is also encouraged to make an effort to gather data
on the jobs attained after graduation, specifically whether
those jobs can be reasonably said to be in the field of study
identified in the students' education plans.
Voluntary Military Education Programs--Third Party
Audits.--The Committee recognizes the importance of voluntary
military education programs to the continued education of our
men and women in uniform and their spouses. In recent years,
the programs have grown in popularity among servicemembers and,
as such, in cost to the Federal Government. Despite recent
efforts to improve oversight, the Committee notes that
Department of Defense attempts to obtain key information needed
to assess the quality of nearly 3,000 schools servicemembers
attend have been largely unsuccessful.
The Committee is concerned about the number and
transparency of third party audits of schools within the
Department's Tuition Assistance program. In light of these
concerns, the Committee commends the Department for its
decision to develop a new Statement of Work for third party
audits for execution under a new contract which will strengthen
protections for, and the quality of education provided to, the
military community. Since previous third party assessments
lacked coherence and specificity, and did not fully consider
the qualifications needed by the contractor conducting the
assessments before awarding the contract, the Committee
encourages the Secretary of Defense to develop a clear, written
plan for third party assessments of schools. As part of that
plan, the Department is urged to (1) develop clear, measurable
questions to guide the assessments and (2) require that the
entity or entities conducting the assessments have the
necessary skills, expertise and experience to effectively
assess the schools.
Joint Prisoner of War/Missing in Action Accounting Command
[JPAC].--The Government Accountability Office's 2014 Annual
Report titled, ``Additional Opportunities to Reduce
Fragmentation, Overlap, and Duplication and Achieve Other
Financial Benefits'' (GAO-14-343SP), published April 8, 2014,
identified the Prisoner of War/Missing in Action [POW/MIA]
mission as an area of high risk. The report said, ``The
Department of Defense should minimize overlapping and
duplicative efforts by examining options to reduce
fragmentation and clarify guidance on roles and
responsibilities among the eight organizations that account for
missing persons and improve the effectiveness of the mission.''
A provision was included in S. 2410, the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, as reported, making
modifications to requirements for accounting for members of the
Armed Forces and Department of Defense civilian employees
listed as missing (section 911). Among several new requirements
and authorizations, the provision establishes a new
``designated defense agency'' to have responsibility over the
POW/MIA accounting community. The Committee's recommendation is
consistent with section 911 and realigns funding among
Operation and Maintenance, Navy; Operation and Maintenance, Air
Force; and Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide. The funding
for the new defense agency is transferred to an undistributed
line in Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide until a budget
line item for the new defense agency is established. The
Department is directed to include the new defense agency as a
separate line in Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide in its
fiscal year 2016 request.
Finally, section 1509 of the Fiscal Year 2010 National
Defense Authorization Act directed the Department of Defense to
ensure that at least 200 missing persons are accounted for
annually beginning in fiscal year 2015. The Committee
encourages the Department to utilize the authorities
established in section 911 of S. 2410 to partner with research
universities with expertise in archeology and remains recovery
to assist in becoming compliant with National Defense
Authorization Act mandates.
Increasing Transparency of Federal Spending on Grants.--The
Department of Defense reports its obligation of funds data by
Grant, Cooperative Agreement, Technology Investment Agreement,
and Other-Assistance-Award to the public at the USAspending.gov
Web site, as required by the Federal Funding Accountability and
Transparency Act [FFATA] of 2006. The Transparency Act requires
data on each obligation to be publicly accessible within 30
days of the date of obligation at the Web site.
On May 9, 2014, the President signed the Data
Accountability and Transparency Act of 2014 (DATA Act) (Public
Law 113-101). The purposes of the DATA Act are to expand the
Transparency Act accountability to include agency expenditures
linked to reported awards, simplify and streamline reporting
requirements, reduce compliance costs, and hold agencies
accountable for data quality. The Committee directs the
Department of Defense to provide adequate resources to comply
with the new requirements of the DATA Act.
Security Clearance Investigations.--The Committee is
concerned about the Office of Personnel Management's [OPM's]
screening process of Federal employees and believes that
additional steps are needed to restore confidence in the
security clearance process. Therefore, the Committee directs
the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the
congressional defense committees not later than 120 days after
the enactment of this act, on the feasibility and costs
associated with the Department of Defense assuming the
responsibilities of conducting security clearance investigation
activities for all Department of Defense personnel.
The Committee also encourages the Secretary of Defense to
consider measures to optimize and streamline data sharing and
best practices for continuous personnel security evaluations
and threat analysis.
Information Technology.--The military services' operation
and maintenance requests for fiscal year 2015 include over
$11,000,000,000 for Information Technology [IT]. Robust funding
for information technology is justified in the current
environment. According to the IT budget materials, ``[The]
primary goals are to make the Department more effective and
more secure against cyber threats and vulnerabilities.'' The
budget materials continue, ``A secondary, but very important
goal is to reduce the cost associated with the Department's
overall information technology infrastructure by simplifying,
centralizing, and automating infrastructure at the enterprise
level.''
Over the past several years, the services have consistently
endeavored to find savings related to the IT budget's secondary
goal. They have pursued initiatives such as data center and
server consolidations, enterprise e-mail, and consolidated
software and hardware purchasing.
The Committee commends the Department for efforts to
simplify, centralize and automate IT infrastructure. However,
the Committee found a number of discrepancies where the
resources reflected in the IT budget did not correlate to the
operation and maintenance budget justification. The Committee
recommends reductions based on that analysis. Finally, the
recommendation includes additional reductions to the operation
and maintenance accounts to compel further review of non-cyber
IT requirements (those not related to the defense of DOD
networks) and eliminate duplication.
Operation and Maintenance Budget Justification.--The
Committee commends the Department for the improvements in the
Operation and Maintenance [O&M] budget materials made over the
past several years. To further inform the congressional review,
the Committee directs the following actions:
--The Department shall include the OP-8B: Total Civilian
Personnel Costs for every appropriation as a part of
the President's budget justification.
--Every subactivity group in O&M that funds recruiting and
advertising activities shall include the budget profile
broken out by recruiting and advertising for the prior
year, current year, and budget year as a part of the
performance criteria in the OP-5 exhibit. The Army
National Guard shall include three categories broken
out separately: recruiting, marketing, and retention.
The Army National Guard is further directed to break
out funding profiles for specific programs under each
category providing more specific information about what
is funded in each. Among other line items, one under
marketing shall be sports sponsorships.
--The Army shall add a new table in the performance criteria
of the OP-5 exhibit for SAG 115 Land Forces Operations
Support that shows the number of funded Combat Training
Center Rotations by location.
--The Office of Economic Adjustment's budget documentation in
O&M Defense-Wide shall include the budget profile of
each major program for the prior year, current year,
and budget year as a part of the performance criteria
in the OP-5 exhibit. Examples of major programs would
be Program Assistance, Defense Industry Adjustment, and
Guam.
--The Defense Information System Agency's [DISA] budget
documentation in O&M Defense-Wide is currently a
culmination of net adjustments within section III C of
the OP-5 (Financial Summary Reconciliation and
Increases and Decreases) that is difficult to analyze.
Future OP-5 exhibits for DISA shall break down
adjustments into more discrete items rather than
providing numerous net adjustments in section III C.
--The Defense Security Service's budget documentation in O&M
Defense-Wide shall break out funding for the Defense
Insider Threat Management and Analysis Center [DITMAC]/
Continuous Evaluation program. This category shall be a
new separate program discussed in section I of the OP-
5, Description of Operations Financed, in section III,
the Financial Summary as a new BA Subactivity, and
broken out in the Reconciliation of Increases and
Decreases if changes occur to this program from the
current year to the budget year.
Extremity Protection Program.--The Committee encourages the
Department of Defense to fully fund the Cold Weather Protective
Equipment--Extremity Protection Program in order to sustain
research and development programs, acquisition requirements and
to maintain a basic combat capability in protective equipment
for servicemembers.
Advanced Trauma Training Program for National Guard and
Reserve.--The Committee recognizes the valuable support
universities, hospitals, and other military partners provide by
offering civilian-based emergency response trauma training to
sustain medics' and medical providers' capabilities of the
National Guard Enhanced Response Forces Packages [CERFP],
National Guard Homeland Response Forces [NGHRF], and the Army
Reserve Consequence Management Response Forces [CCMRF]. The
Committee encourages the National Guard and Reserve to continue
pursuing state-of-the-art trauma training with these civilian
partners, thus maintaining unit medical readiness postures at
optimum levels as military healthcare providers in CERFPs,
NGHRFs, and CCMRFs maintain their individual skills to respond
effectively to emergency incidents on the homeland.
Furthermore, in order to minimize the civilian-military
operational gaps in the event of a catastrophic incident, the
Committee also encourages the development of enhanced
preparedness medical training programs focusing on mass
casualty triage, advanced disaster life support, advanced
hazardous material life support, emergency dental, and
psychological health by increasing civilian-based advanced
trauma expertise gained through day-to-day experiences and
medical research programs.
Defense Generator and Rail Equipment Center.--The Defense
Generator and Rail Equipment Center [DGRC] is an Army facility
located at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. The Committee understands
that this facility has serious deficiencies needing significant
renovations including some necessary to address health and
safety concerns. Further, while DGRC is currently located
within the boundaries of Hill AFB, the Committee is aware that
after completion of the Enhanced Use Lease project currently
underway at Hill AFB, DGRC will be located outside of the base
boundaries and would be required to provide its own force
protection which would increase operational costs. The
Committee urges the Secretary of the Army to work directly with
the Secretary of the Air Force and relevant State and local
stakeholders to address concerns raised by the current DGRC
location and to reach an agreement acceptable to all parties on
the future status and location of the DGRC. The Committee is
concerned that spending funds to perform non-safety related
renovations of the DGRC before such a consensus is reached
would not be a good use of limited resources and taxpayer
funds. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Secretary of the
Army to limit renovations to those required only for health and
safety until such an agreement is reached and directs the Army
to notify the congressional defense committees of all safety-
related renovations performed, including a justification for
why the renovations are required.
Electricity Reliability at Military Installations.--The
Committee commends the Department and services for their
continuing efforts to reduce installation energy costs, which
total approximately $4,000,000,000 annually. The increasing use
of Energy Savings Performance Contracts and Utility Energy
Service Contracts has been particularly important in achieving
energy and financial savings with less up-front Federal
investment. To further augment energy efficiency efforts, the
Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to conduct a review
of the value and time duration of ``electricity reliability''
and its use in making energy efficiency project decisions on
military installations. The review should factor in any need
for redundancy and include an assessment of how the value of
electricity reliability could be incorporated in cost-benefit
calculations for Power Purchase Agreements, performance
contracting, and other utility power purchases. The Committee
directs the secretary to report to the congressional defense
committees on the findings of the review within 90 days of
enactment of this act.
Fly America Act.--The Committee commends the Department for
its efforts to honor the Fly America Act as the drawdown in
Afghanistan continues. The Committee directs the Secretary of
Defense to provide a report to the congressional defense
committees, no later than 30 days after the enactment of this
act, detailing how many foreign flagged fixed-wing and rotary-
wing aircraft are currently under contract in Afghanistan for
airlift services, and a description of the Department's plans
to drawdown foreign carriers in advance of the cessation of
military operations in Afghanistan.
Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps.--The Committee is
concerned about the shrinking number of American youth eligible
for military service. For nearly 100 years, the Junior Reserve
Officer Training Corps [JROTC] has promoted citizenship and
community service amongst America's youth and has been an
important means through which youth can learn about military
service in the United States. But evidence suggests that some
high school JROTC programs face closure due to funding tied to
program enrollment levels, adversely impacting certain,
particularly rural, populations. Therefore, the Committee
directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the
services, to submit a report to the congressional defense
committees no later than 180 days after the enactment of this
act on recent trends in JROTC participation at both the
individual and school level, as well as any plans to ensure
adequate representation of all regions in the United States to
ensure the capabilities of the Armed Forces to recruit from a
diverse background to sustain the all-volunteer force.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Automated Biometrics Identification System [ABIS].--The
Committee recognizes that the ABIS has an enduring requirement
and therefore encourages the Army to consider funding this
capability in the base operation and maintenance budget.
Productivity Enhancement Program.--The Department of
Defense's organic depot maintenance capability is vital to our
military's sustainment infrastructure. The Committee encourages
the Secretary of the Army to modernize the organic depots'
Electronic Test and Measurement Equipment [ET&ME] to allow cost
savings in future maintenance and calibration expenditures.
Ballistic Protective Eyewear.--The Committee supports
efforts to establish a military combat eye protection program
in the Department of Defense to ensure a high standard of
performance for all military-issue protective eyewear. The
Committee encourages the rapid fielding of ballistic protective
eyewear for all servicemembers so they can receive best-in-
class eye protection for a range of threats while deployed and
in training.
Body Armor.--The Committee recognizes the importance of
ensuring that deployed soldiers have the lightest and most
advanced body armor available to enhance mission performance
and save lives. Modernizing the body armor inventory through
replenishment will help the manufacturing base continue the
development and manufacturing of more advanced body armor our
soldiers need. Therefore, the Committee provides an additional
$80,000,000 for this initiative and encourages the Secretary of
the Army to develop and implement a plan to replace and
refurbish expired body armor.
Soldier for Life.--The Committee has been made aware of an
initiative developed by the Chief of Staff of the Army called
``Soldier for Life,'' which is currently being funded within
existing resources. Soldier for Life provides servicemembers,
veterans and family members with the skills, knowledge, and
tools required to successfully reintegrate into civilian life.
The Committee encourages the Secretary of the Army to continue
these types of initiatives and properly budget for them in
future requests.
Army Force Structure and Installation Alignment.--The
Army's active component is set to decline from a peak of
approximately 562,000 soldiers in 2012 to 490,000 by 2017.
Further reductions would result in additional unit
inactivations at Army posts around the country. The Committee
believes more information is needed about impacts to readiness
from further force structure reductions and affirms its support
for the reporting requirements directed in the report
accompanying S. 2410, the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2015, as reported, titled ``Army Force
Structure and Installation Alignment.''
Army Emergency Management Training Center.--The 2009 Army
Emergency Management Program (AR-525-27) sought to integrate
planning, execution, and response management to all-hazard
incidents affecting Army installations and activities. Although
largely successful, some aspects of the integration and
synchronization of emergency management planning assigned to
the Department of the Army G-3/5/7 may be more appropriately
suited for an Emergency Management Training Center established
within the U.S. Training and Doctrine Command [TRADOC], with
Army Headquarters continuing to exercise oversight. Therefore,
the Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to report to
the congressional defense committees by no later than June 1,
2015, the feasibility of consolidating homeland defense
functions across Army installations to better support the
consequences management and homeland defense missions, and of
establishing an Emergency Management Training Center to
facilitate comprehensive doctrine, training, and leader
development for Installation Emergency Management and Defense
Support to Civil Authorities.
National Commission on the Future of the Army.--Several
provisions were included in S. 2410, the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, as reported, regarding
a National Commission on the Future of the Army. The Commission
is to undertake a comprehensive study of the structure of the
Army to determine the proper force mixture of the Active
component and Reserve component, and how the structure should
be modified to best fulfill current and anticipated mission
requirements for the Army in a manner consistent with available
resources and estimated future resources. The Committee affirms
its support for the National Commission on the Future of the
Army.
National Guard and Reserve Education Benefits.--The
Committee understands that, effective January 1, 2014, members
of the Army may become eligible for the Army's tuition
assistance program only after serving a period of 1 year after
completing certain training courses, such as advance individual
training, officer candidate school, and the basic officer
leader course. The Committee is concerned that many members of
the National Guard and Reserve, who serve only part time, rely
on the tuition assistance program during all years of service
and that the change in policy may be causing them to take out
additional student loans to cover the cost of education during
their first year of service. The Committee is further concerned
that this policy is negatively affecting the recruitment
efforts of the National Guard and Reserve. For these reasons
and others, the Committee recommends the Secretary of the Army
to reverse this decision as it applies to the Army National
Guard and Reserve so that members of the National Guard and
Reserve are eligible for tuition benefits in the same manner as
they were prior to January 1, 2014, and to consider reversing
the decision for active-duty members as well.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Naval Shipyard Apprentice Program.--The Committee directs
that during fiscal year 2015 the Navy shall induct classes of
no fewer than 100 apprentices, respectively, at each of the
naval shipyards. The Committee further directs the Navy to
include the costs of the fiscal year 2016 class of apprentices
in its budget request.
U.S. Coast Guard.--The Committee is aware that Department
of Defense [DOD] regulations currently restrict DOD mission
appropriated funded activities from offering reimbursable rates
to non-DOD agencies. This restriction forces the Navy to charge
the U.S. Coast Guard fully burdened rates for drydocking
services at Navy shipyards rather than reimbursable rates.
Therefore, the Committee directs that funds appropriated under
Operation and Maintenance, Navy may be used to pay overhead
costs incurred by a Naval Shipyard when drydocking U.S. Coast
Guard ships.
Minimum Capital Investment for Certain Depots.--The
Secretary of each military department is directed to invest in
the capital budgets of the covered depots set forth in 10
U.S.C. 2476(e) a total amount equal to not less than 6 percent
of the average total combined maintenance, repair, and overhaul
workload funded at all the depots of that military department
for the preceding 3 fiscal years.
Shipboard Lighting Systems.--The Committee commends the
Navy for its increasing use of light-emitting diode [LED]
lighting and encourages it to continue these activities. The
Committee urges the Navy to consider updating lighting
specifications for ships so LED use is not prohibited,
developing an approved products list for LEDs that is broadly
available for use in all vessels, using ``total lifecycle
costs'' to determine the value of LEDs, and making the
installation of LEDs in vessels a priority when appropriate,
such as during ship retrofits and new builds.
Patuxent Naval Air Station.--The Committee is aware that
the Department of the Navy commissioned the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory to conduct a study
to determine the effects and a potential mitigation plan
between the operation of the proposed wind energy project and
the Patuxent Naval Air Station. The study is not yet completed.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Navy to refrain from
executing any agreement with respect to the operation of the
proposed wind energy project until the study is provided to the
congressional defense committees.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Air Force Weather Training Modernization.--The Air Force
Weather Agency makes a significant contribution to improving
combat effectiveness of our warfighters. The Air Force needs to
modernize its weather training programs to be able to continue
that contribution. The Air Force may be able to take advantage
of different training regimes as it modernizes its training
programs, including reliance on organic training, entering into
or expanding cooperative programs with other government
agencies, such as the National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration, and entering into or expanding cooperative
programs with colleges and universities that have
meteorological training programs. The Committee encourages the
Air Force to investigate whether the service could improve the
effectiveness and efficiency of its weather training programs
by placing greater reliance on cooperative training programs.
Lajes Air Base.--The Committee supports the continued
bilateral relationship the United States has with Portugal,
particularly with respect to United States-NATO operations.
However, given current budget constraints, the Committee
recognizes the Air Force's need to consolidate its force
structure and operations at Lajes Air Base on Terceira Island
in the Azores. The Committee understands this reduction will
also impact host country civilian positions and the local
economy. The Committee encourages the Department to continue to
work closely with Portuguese and Azorean officials to minimize
the economic impacts to the local population and to continue to
explore all possibilities for other U.S. Government uses of
Lajes Air Base. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense
to provide the congressional defense committees, not later than
60 days after the submission of the European Infrastructure
Consolidation Assessment on United States Air Force, a report
describing the continued U.S. presence at Lajes Air Base; steps
to be taken to mitigate adverse effects on the surrounding
community; and initiatives to strengthen and enhance the
strategic relationship between the United States and Portugal.

Defense Language and National Security Education Office.--
The Committee recognizes that, in partnership with universities
across the country, the Defense Language and National Security
Education Office provides critical training for servicemembers
and government officials in a number of languages and strategic
cultures, including those of the Arab world, Afghanistan,
China, and Iran. The Committee encourages the Department of
Defense to continue placing a high priority on these programs
to ensure warfighters receive the language and culture training
needed to complete their missions effectively.
Military Use Airspace.--The Committee encourages the
Department of Defense to continue to utilize national assets,
such as the Hays Military Operations Area, to maintain airborne
combat readiness for both manned and remotely piloted aircraft.
Wildlife Trafficking.--The proceeds of animal poaching and
wildlife trafficking are known to fund armed conflict on the
African continent, including by the Lord's Resistance Army and
other destabilizing groups in the Great Lakes Region. The
Committee supports efforts by Africa Command and Special
Operations Command to assist in the mitigation of these illegal
activities through their capacity-building engagements with
African governments and authorities, including ``train the
trainer'' exchanges and exercises. The Committee expects Africa
Command and Special Operations Command to continue these
engagements in areas affected by wildlife trafficking.
The Committee also directs the Secretary of Defense to
provide a report to the congressional defense committees within
120 days of enactment of this act describing the planned
activities to support implementation of the Executive order
establishing the Presidential Task Force on Wildlife
Trafficking.
STEM Education and STARBASE.--The Committee finds that
consolidation of Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics [STEM] education programs and significant changes
to the STARBASE program are not advisable at this time.
STARBASE provides a unique low-cost leveraging of community and
military resources that another Federal agency will not be able
to duplicate. The benefits of cooperative community and
military relationships stimulate the long-term interest of
youth in STEM careers. Therefore, the Committee provides
$25,000,000 to continue the Department of Defense STARBASE
program in fiscal year 2015. The Committee encourages the
Secretary of Defense to continue the STARBASE program in future
fiscal years.
Item Unique Identification Initiative.--The Item Unique
Identification [IUID] initiative requires the marking and
tracking of assets deployed through the Armed Forces or in the
possession of Department of Defense contractors. Improving
asset tracking and in-transit visibility has the potential for
realizing costs savings by improving the management of defense
equipment and supplies throughout their lifecycle. The
Committee encourages the Department of Defense to take
additional actions to improve asset visibility, to include
completing and implementing its strategy for coordinating
improvement efforts across the Department.
Defense Personal Property Moves.--The Committee has a long-
standing interest in the quality of life of military members
and their families and understands the tremendous challenges
associated with completing frequent defense personal property
moves. The Committee is aware that the Department of Defense
has successfully shifted to the Defense Personal Property
Program [DP3] and commends the improvements to cost efficiency,
the claims experience, and in family satisfaction. The
Committee further commends the improvements that the Department
and its transportation service providers have made to reduce
costs and improve the quality of each military move.
Flame Retardant Military Uniforms.--The Committee
recognizes that for several years the Army's rapid fielding
initiative program, using overseas contingency operations
funding, has provided flame retardant clothing to all deploying
soldiers to minimize the risk of burn injuries from improvised
explosive devices. The Committee notes that the Army's flame
retardant uniforms are approximately double the cost of non-
flame retardant uniforms. However, the Committee understands
that recent technical developments in flame retardant garments
have begun to reduce costs while offering options and varying
levels of protection.
These emerging developments provide the services with ways
to protect servicemembers, regardless of the environment,
without imposing undue costs on already strained budgets.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Army, in
coordination with the Secretaries of the Navy and Air Force, to
conduct a feasibility study on increased use of flame-retardant
uniforms, including a review of available technologies and
industry sources of flame retardant fabrics, and to provide a
written report to the congressional defense committees not
later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this
act.
Transition Assistance Programs.--The Committee applauds the
Department's revamped Transition Assistance Program [TAP] to
provide assistance to servicemembers transitioning toward a
career or education following military separation. The enhanced
program called Transition--Goals, Plans, Success (Transition-
GPS) was established to assist servicemembers with their
transition as the military draws down by providing information,
counseling, tools, and training for servicemembers to
separating from the military. While the Committee recognizes
the achievements of the Department within Transition-GPS, the
Committee encourages the Secretary, in conjunction with the
Secretary of the Labor and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs,
to continuously improve and build upon the program.
Furthermore, the Committee supports the conclusions reached
by the March 2014 Government Accountability Office [GAO] report
titled, ``Transitioning Veterans: Improved Oversight Needed to
Enhance Implementation of Transition Assistance Program.'' The
report highlighted five areas of concern: the ability for
commanders and relevant policy stakeholders to track
attendance, establishing training quality, assessing career
readiness, ensuring participation and completion, and measuring
performance and results in order to evaluate TAP effectiveness.
The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to report to the
congressional defense committees on the implementation status
of the GAO recommendations included in the report no later than
180 days after date of enactment of this act.
Africa Standby Force.--The Committee commends the African
Union for working toward a proposed African Standby Force and
supports the more immediate African Capacity for Immediate
Response to Crises [ACIRC] force, a multinational African rapid
reaction military capability being established to respond to
urgent crises and human rights challenges on the African
continent. The Committee encourages Africa Command to provide
appropriate training and capacity building support when
appropriate to the African Union and its member states to
realize an effective ACIRC and eventual standby force that are
both able counter emerging crises while operating in accordance
with international law and human rights norms. The Committee
encourages the Secretary of Defense to develop a roadmap to
assist the African Union forces with developing a sustainable
logistics and airlift capacity.
Federal Insider Threat Detection Enhancement.--The
Committee commends the military services for making significant
strides towards implementing insider threat detection programs,
specifically end-user auditing and monitoring programs.
However, the combatant commands have not implemented robust,
proven capabilities for end-user auditing and monitoring in
support of insider threat detection. Therefore, the Committee
recommends an additional $10,000,000 to be used for the
combatant commands to implement proven and effective end-user
auditing and monitoring capabilities in support of their
existing insider threat detection programs. The Committee urges
specific priority be given to U.S. Central Command, U.S.
Strategic Command and U.S. Pacific Command.
Middle East Regional Security Studies Programs.--The
Committee encourages the Department of Defense to continue to
support established university programs that promote regionwide
informal workshops and task forces on arms control, regional
security, and related topics to the Middle East for Arab,
Israeli, and other officials and experts engaged in these
issues.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

National Guard Embedded Mental Health Programs.--The
Committee recognizes that suicide continues to be an area of
concern in the National Guard and Reserve components. Programs
to improve access to behavioral healthcare for National Guard
and Reserve members and their families through a collaboration
of Federal, State, and community partners are helping to
address gaps in treatment. The Committee provides $10,000,000
to be utilized by the Director of Psychological Health Programs
of the National Guard Bureau for implementation of embedded
mental health programs in States determined by that office to
be at high risk for suicides.
National Guard Facilities and Assets.--The Committee
recognizes the number of existing National Guard operational,
training, logistics, and maintenance capabilities that can be
utilized by Federal, State, and local entities to reduce
Federal overhead costs. The Committee encourages the Department
of Defense to coordinate interagency use of facilities and
capabilities for cost-savings and improved efficiencies in
achieving homeland security training and other core mission
objectives.

reprogramming guidance for acquisition accounts

The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to continue
to follow the reprogramming guidance specified in the report
accompanying the House version of the fiscal year 2008
Department of Defense Appropriations bill (House Report 110-
279). Specifically, the dollar threshold for reprogramming
funds will remain at $20,000,000 for procurement and
$10,000,000 for research, development, test and evaluation.
In addition, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller)
is directed to continue to provide the congressional defense
committees quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD Form 1416 reports
for service and defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of
this act. Reports for titles III and IV shall comply with
guidance specified in the explanatory statement accompanying
the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2006. The
Department shall continue to follow the limitation that prior
approval reprogrammings are set at either the specified dollar
threshold or 20 percent of the procurement or research,
development, test and evaluation line, whichever is less. These
thresholds are cumulative from the base for reprogramming value
as modified by any adjustments. Therefore, if the combined
value of transfers into or out of a procurement (P-1) or
research, development, test and evaluation (R-1) line exceeds
the identified threshold, the Secretary of Defense must submit
a prior approval reprogramming to the congressional defense
committees. In addition, guidelines on the application of prior
approval reprogramming procedures for congressional special
interest items are established elsewhere in this statement.

PROCUREMENT OVERVIEW

Physical Access Control Systems.--The Committee is
concerned with the challenges the Department of Defense
continues to face with the efficacy of their physical access
control systems that should prevent unauthorized access to
Department of Defense installations. The Department of Defense
continues to develop and deploy incompatible programs and
systems. These solutions increase costs and often fail to meet
existing requirements. Commercially available physical access
control systems address these shortfalls in that they are
affordable, meet Department of Defense requirements, and do not
have a significant sustainment cost. Therefore, the Secretaries
of the Army, Navy, and Air Force shall perform a business case
analysis that examines the development, procurement, and
sustainment cost of existing physical access control systems
compared to the cost of physical access control systems
available commercially. The Secretaries shall provide a report
to the congressional defense committees summarizing the outcome
of this business case analysis and actions they plan to take to
implement the most affordable solution no later than 180 days
after enactment of this act.
Rocket Motor Industrial Base.--The Committee is concerned
that the domestic industrial base for tactical solid rocket
motors continues to be impacted by constrained budgets, the use
of foreign vendors, and a lack of competition. For example, a
foreign supplier began development and qualification for a new
rocket motor on the AMRAAM missile in 2009 after the
domestically supplied rocket failed to qualify because of
issues with the propellant and the blast tube insulation. The
Committee has learned that the Navy may also be exploring a
rocket motor source from a foreign vendor for a tactical
missile program. Finally, the Committee understands that the
Army recently awarded a sole-source contract for rocket motors
for the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System, a program that
has been stable and in production for some time.
The Committee is concerned that in these programs, a
competition for a new rocket motor vendor was not executed; and
in two programs, the Department is becoming more reliant on a
foreign supplier. The Committee is closely following these
developments across all services, as rocket motors continue to
be a critical component of the defense industrial base. The
Committee believes that whenever possible, domestic sources
should be considered, and full and open competition employed
before awarding contracts.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to conduct
an independent assessment of domestic and foreign-sourced
rocket motor propulsion for all Department of Defense tactical
missile programs. This report should include the impacts of
foreign-sourced rocket motors on domestic suppliers, and the
national security impacts on the defense industrial base. This
report shall be delivered to the congressional defense
committee not later than 180 days of enactment of this act.
The Committee also directs the Government Accountability
Office [GAO] to provide a report to the congressional defense
committees within 180 days of enactment of this act that
outlines the assumptions and analysis utilized by the Army to
justify a sole-source contract to develop and qualify new,
insensitive munitions-compliant rocket motors for the Guided
Multiple Launch Rocket System, and why a competitive
acquisition strategy was not used.
Army Organic Industrial Base.--The Committee directs the
Secretary of the Army to provide 45-day written notification to
the congressional defense committees prior to the Secretary
approving civilian reductions in force that will result in an
employment loss of 50 or more full-time employees at any Army
organic industrial base facility. The notification shall
include the impact that the proposed reduction in force will
have on the ability to maintain the organic industrial base
critical manufacturing capabilities as delineated in the Army
Organic Industrial Base Strategy Report, a detailed accounting
of the costs of implementing the reduction in force, and an
assessment of the cost of, and time necessary, to restore any
lost capability to meet future organic wartime manufacturing
needs.
Management of Conventional Ammunition Inventory.--The
Committee is aware of the Department of Defense's efforts to
better manage its conventional ammunition inventory. The
Government Accountability Office recently reported in ``Actions
Needed to Improve Department-wide Management of Conventional
Ammunition Inventory'' that more work needs to be done,
particularly regarding information sharing between the
services. Incomplete and unreliable inventory systems can lead
to the wasteful destruction of ammunition, duplicative
procurement of ammunition that may be available in the
stockpiles of another service, and shortages of ammunition
required for forward-stationed forces. To use limited resources
more efficiently and improve support to our warfighters, the
Committee encourages the Department of Defense to accelerate
efforts to automate ammunition tracking and inventory
accounting, and affirms its support for the reporting
requirements directed in the report accompanying S. 2410, the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, as
reported, titled ``Management of Conventional Ammunition
Inventory.''
Arsenal Sustainment Initiative.--The Committee supports the
ongoing efforts of the Department of the Army to develop the
Army Organic Industrial Base Strategy. This process is
identifying manufacturing capabilities at each organic
industrial facility that are critical for this country to
sustain in times of war and peace. However, the Committee is
concerned that while the Army Organic Industrial Base Strategy
is identifying capabilities, further action is needed to fund
these capabilities at a level adequate to maintain them. In
particular, the Nation's arsenals are at risk of not having the
capacity to respond rapidly to meet the Department's needs. The
Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to assign the
arsenals sufficient workload to maintain the critical
capabilities identified in the Army Organic Industrial Base
Strategy Report, ensure cost efficiency and technical
competence in peacetime, and preserve the ability to provide an
effective and timely response to mobilizations, national
defense contingency situations, and other emergency
requirements.
Further, the Committee is aware that while the Army's
manufacturing arsenals have provided critical wartime needs to
all the services, they are not always considered by the other
services for the work opportunities to sustain them in
peacetime. Given the arsenals' unique capabilities, the
Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report
to the congressional defense committees not later than 90 days
after the enactment of this act describing steps taken to
encourage the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps to better use
the arsenals for their manufacturing needs.
Arsenal and Ammunition Plant Facility Maintenance.--The
Committee is concerned with the reduction in funding for
arsenal and ammunition plant facility maintenance. Established
in most cases during World War II or before, the Army's
Government-owned, contractor-operated [GOCO] and Government-
owned, Government-operated [GOGO] facilities are critical parts
of our Nation's defense industrial base, each with specific
areas of expertise. However, prolonged combat operations in
Afghanistan and Iraq and a more constrained budget environment
have slowed the pace of necessary investments required for
routine maintenance and modernization of production
capabilities. With these concerns in mind, the Committee
directs the Secretary of the Army to continue to submit the
Long-range Facilities and Construction Planning at Army
Ammunition Plants and Arsenals report, consistent with Senate
Armed Services Committee Report 110-335, which accompanies the
Duncun Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2009, and 112-26, which accompanies the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, including a detailed
strategy to address the most urgent needs of the arsenals and
ammunition plants and investments that will improve overall
facility competitiveness and efficiency.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Army Aviation Restructure Initiative [ARI].--The Army's
fiscal year 2015 budget request proposes a significant
restructuring of Army aviation assets. This includes
transferring all Apache helicopters to the active Army from the
Army National Guard and shifting Blackhawk helicopters from the
active Army to the Army National Guard. The proposal also
includes retiring the Kiowa Warrior helicopters and replacing
the TH-67 trainer helicopters with Lakota helicopters. The
Committee believes the Army has not considered the full fiscal
implications of the proposal, and the Army has not provided the
Committee a comprehensive divestiture plan for the retiring
helicopters.
The Committee understands that the Army estimates saving a
total of $11,942,000,000 under the ARI, including
$10,300,000,000 from divestiture of the Kiowa Warrior
helicopters. However, the Committee notes the Army's cost
estimate fails to account for increased costs to procure and
maintain additional Lakota helicopters, to train the Army
Active Duty and Army National Guard pilots for the new
missions, and to operate and maintain Apaches and Blackhawks.
Therefore, the Committee directs Cost Assessment and Program
Evaluation [CAPE] to do an independent cost analysis of both
the ARI and the alternate Army National Guard estimates to
complete the proposed transfer and associated outyears costs.
The Director, CAPE shall provide a report to the congressional
defense committees 120 days after enactment of this act.
In addition, the Committee directs the Secretary of the
Army to submit a report to the congressional defense committees
not later than 120 days after the enactment of this act on the
divestiture plan for unneeded Army helicopters. This report
should address (1) the number of airframes being divested under
the ARI by fiscal year, (2) the number of airframes being
transferred to other Government agencies, (3) the number of
airframes being offered for sale to other nations, (4) the cost
of divesting these aircraft, (5) the impact the divestiture of
these airframes will have on the domestic rotary wing
industrial base and (6) the impact of the divestiture plan on
military readiness. Further, the Secretary of the Army is
directed not to allow the resale or auction of any divested
airframe until 30 days after the report is submitted to the
congressional defense committees.
Army Oversight of Aviation Programs.--The Committee is
aware of a Department of Army memorandum establishing
responsibility for current and future fixed and rotary wing
platforms to the Program Executive Office for Aviation. The
Committee is also aware that responsibility for key subsystems
of the platforms are assigned to several other Program
Executive Offices. The Committee understands the Army
memorandum has created inefficiencies in program acquisition,
material procurements, and support in current systems by
establishing multiple organizations within Government to
support a single aircraft.
For example, the Enhanced Medium Altitude Reconnaissance
and Surveillance System [EMARSS] program, which is covered by
the subject memorandum, is under oversight by multiple Program
Executive Offices. The combined oversight of multiple Program
Executive Offices does not appear to have improved the EMARSS
program, as it experienced severe cost growth. These cost
overruns led to the Army canceling the program in the fiscal
year 2015 President's budget request. Therefore, the Committee
rescinds $73,500,000 of fiscal year 2014 funds, included in the
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 for new EMARSS aircraft.
In addition, the Committee directs the Secretary of the
Army to justify the confusing and duplicative management
structure mandated by this memorandum including a description
of the estimated cost savings or efficiencies that are expected
by this reorganization, and report to the congressional defense
committees not later than 120 days after enactment of this act.
Army National Guard Blackhawks.--The Committee acknowledges
that the older UH-60As need to be modernized and replaced as
quickly as possible for the Army National Guard Blackhawk fleet
to remain viable and mission capable. It is projected that the
Army National Guard will not retire their last UH-60A until
2025, while the Active Army will retire their last UH-60A in
2020. Therefore, the Committee recommends accelerating the
fielding of new UH-60M helicopters to the Army National Guard.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles and the Army Budgeting
Process.--The fiscal year 2015 base budget request includes no
funds in fiscal years 2015 and 2016 for the procurement of the
Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles [FMTV] but carries funding
in fiscal year 2017 and 2018 to resume production and
eventually meet the Army's acquisition objective. The Committee
notes that the lack of funding in fiscal years 2015 and 2016
will shutdown FMTV production for 2 years and will negatively
impact the industrial base, resulting in higher acquisition
costs when the Army re-starts procurement in fiscal year 2017
as planned. The Committee understands that fiscal constraints
force difficult trade-offs; however, during its budget review,
the Committee identified over $750,000,000 in poorly budgeted
funds within the Other Procurement, Army account. Had the Army
performed a similarly rigorous budget review, these excess
funds could have been used to address not only the shortfall in
FMTV, but other programs as well. To avoid a production shut
down and expensive restart costs, the Committee recommends an
additional $250,000,000 for FMTVs.
The Committee understands that the Army budget is assembled
by specific mission areas, and that each mission area receives
an allocation of funds to spread across its requirements. The
Committee notes that as a result, a requirement in one mission
area may receive funding, while a requirement in a different
area, such as FMTVs, remains unfunded, even if the FMTV is a
higher overall priority within the Army than the funded
requirement. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of
the Army to work with the other Services to review those
Service's budgeting processes and to use this information to
create an Army budgeting process that allows improved
prioritization of requirements so that priority programs do not
go unfunded. The Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to
report to the congressional defense committees 180 days after
the enactment of this act on the findings of this review.
Joint Tactical Radio System.--The Committee commends the
Army on implementing an acquisition strategy for Manpack and
Rifleman radio procurement that ensures technical and price
competition over the next 5 years. However, this strategy
revision has taken a significant amount of time to implement
and has left $438,000,000 of previously appropriated funds
unobligated, of which $67,000,000 was offered by the Department
of Defense [DOD] for rescission. Due to contract award delays,
the Committee recommends an additional rescission of
$103,000,000 and urges the Army to use the remaining
unobligated funds to modernize equipment for the ``Army of
2020'' with the latest in communications and networking
capabilities.
High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle [HMMWV]
Ambulance.--The Committee recognizes the continued value of the
HMMWV ambulance, which is tasked to respond to contingency
operations, domestic emergencies, and humanitarian assistance
requests. The Committee also recognizes that the Army National
Guard and the Army Reserve have identified significant
shortfalls in HMMWV ambulances which hinder training and
operational capabilities. Therefore, the Committee provides
$60,000,000 for procurement of HMMWV ambulances.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

EA-18G Aircraft.--Airborne electronic attack [AEA] is a
capability that has proven critical in recent military
engagements and for which there will be growing demand in the
future. As the primary air platform performing this mission for
the Navy, the EA-18G has proven itself to be a key component to
the success of the carrier air wing. The Committee is concerned
that the fiscal year 2015 budget request does not include any
funding for the EA-18G aircraft even though Navy leadership has
publicly expressed their support for continued procurement into
2016. Therefore, the Committee adds $1,200,000,000 for an
additional 12 aircraft, and $100,000,000 with direction to the
Navy to extend current production to a minimum production rate
of two aircraft per month.
MH-60R Seahawk Procurement.--The Committee is aware that
the Navy is considering breaching the joint-service H-60 multi-
year procurement contract by not procuring the final 29
aircraft in fiscal year 2016. Because this is a joint-service
multi-year contract, the Army will be forced to renegotiate the
contract, which will delay deliveries and increase unit costs.
The Committee believes the Navy will face significant
termination costs that will consume much of the projected
savings from truncating the program. The Committee understands
that these aircraft were to be assigned to the USS George
Washington and that if this aircraft carrier were to be
retired, the 29 MH-60R helicopters would be excess. In light of
the Committee's support for the overhaul of this aircraft
carrier, the fiscal year 2015 advance procurement for these
aircraft is fully funded. The Committee directs the Navy to
review the total MH-60R requirement and urges restoral of the
29 aircraft to the fiscal year 2016 budget request.
MQ-4 Triton Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.--The fiscal year 2015
President's budget request includes $37,445,000 for advance
procurement of the first production Triton UAV. Due to the
deferment of critical mission capabilities into future software
blocks within the development program, as discussed elsewhere
in this report, it is premature to begin procurement of the
Triton aircraft in fiscal year 2015. Therefore, the Committee
recommends no funding for advance procurement.

Weapons Procurement, Navy

Appropriations, 2014.................................... $3,009,157,000

Committee recommendation................................ 3,263,794,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$3,263,794,000. This is $45,849,000 above the budget estimate.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

MK 45 Gun Mount Industrial Base.--The Committee understands
that no order has been placed in 2 years for naval gun mount
modernization. As a result, a significant amount of previously
appropriated funds made available for modernization of MK 45
gun mounts remain unobligated. The delays and fluctuation in
work increases price and performance risk, and is also harmful
to the manufacturer and supplier industrial base. Therefore,
the Committee encourages the Navy to utilize available funds to
put on contract four MK 45 gun mount mods. Guns would be
provided for two DDG upgrades and two CG upgrades.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Shipbuilding Industrial Base and Workload Allocation.--The
Committee remains concerned generally about the overall health
of the shipbuilding industrial base and specifically about the
health of the non-nuclear surface combatant shipbuilding
industry. The Committee reiterates its commitment to the goal
of reducing costs and increasing value in the shipbuilding
program and believes that cooperative workload allocation
agreements between the Navy and industry may provide an
alternative method to obtain efficiency and economies in Navy
ship design and construction with the goals of closing the
shortfalls in the fleet and retain the shipbuilding industrial
base needed for future military requirements. Therefore, the
Secretary of the Navy is directed to engage industry in
discussions on future shipbuilding workload distribution and
methods to ensure the viability of the non-nuclear shipyards
over the long term.
For instance, when the LPD-17 program was experiencing
significant production issues, the Department of the Navy
entered into a workload agreement, ``Memorandum of
Understanding Concerning the Reallocation of LPD-17 and DDG-51
Ship Construction Workload'' (SWAP 1), with shipbuilders on
June 17, 2002. The purpose of the agreement was to reallocate
workload to ensure ``stability at both yards, stabilize and
reduce total projected shipbuilding costs for the LPD-17
Program, and maintain properly balanced sources of supply for
future Navy surface combatant shipbuilding''. The agreement
also requires the Navy to award a compensatory DDG-51 or
equivalent workload if the Navy awards a shipbuilding contract
for LPD 28. The Committee understands that the Navy considers
this agreement to remain in full force and effect, and that the
Navy will engage with shipbuilders involved in the agreement to
discuss workload distribution. While Congress is not a party to
this agreement, the Committee directs the Navy to submit a
report to the congressional defense committees no later than
March 1, 2015, on the Navy's options and potential courses of
action to fulfill the requirements of the SWAP 1 agreement
preceding or concurrent with when LPD 28 is placed under
contract. The report should also address strategies to ensure
the viability and stability of the non-nuclear shipyards over
the long term to preserve the defense maritime industrial base
and achieve the highest level of performance and quality from
the shipbuilders.
CVN 79.--The Committee understands that in light of
significant cost overruns on CVN 78, USS Ford, the Navy is
working diligently to reduce costs of the follow-on ship of the
class, CVN 79, USS Kennedy. The Committee further understands
that this includes innovative contracting strategies leading to
greater competition. The Committee commends the Navy for this
approach and believes that additional savings could be achieved
as a result of increased competitive acquisition strategies.
DDG 1000 Destroyer.--The fiscal year 2015 budget request
includes $419,532,000 for the DDG 1000 program, an increase of
$187,838,000 over amounts appropriated in fiscal year 2014. The
Committee notes that the fiscal year 2015 request is
$98,200,000 above the projected amount required for fiscal year
2015 during last year's budget submission and that in total,
the Navy has added $451,900,000 from fiscal years 2015 to 2017
to the DDG 1000 program in the fiscal year 2015 budget
submission. The Committee understands that these increases are
attributed to the fact that the Navy had not previously funded
the program to the cost estimate provided by the Director, Cost
Assessment and Program Evaluation [CAPE]. The Committee further
understands that the Navy does not plan to budget to the CAPE
estimate in fiscal year 2016.
The Committee notes that the DDG 1000 program breached
Nunn-McCurdy cost caps in 2010 and was re-certified by the
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and
Logistics on June 1, 2010. The recertification found that the
primary root cause for the Nunn-McCurdy breach was the
reduction in quantity from ten ships to three ships. The
Committee further notes that subsequent to the Nunn-McCurdy
recertification, Congress has fully funded annual budget
requests, supported multiple above threshold reprogrammings,
provided Special Transfer Authority, supported changes to the
acquisition strategy, and supported a litigation settlement
that provided $198,000,000 to the DDG 1000 program.
In the fiscal year 2015 budget submission, the Navy's
estimated procurement cost for the three DDG 1000 ships of the
class is $12,069,400,000, an increase of 34.4 percent since
fiscal year 2009, when the third ship of the class was
procured. Given the steadily rising costs of the DDG 1000
program since authorization and appropriation of the third and
final ship of the class, the Committee believes the Navy and
the congressional defense committees would be well-served with
an updated Independent Cost Estimate. Therefore, the Committee
directs the Director, CAPE, to provide with the fiscal year
2016 budget submission an updated Independent Cost Estimate for
the DDG 1000 program.
Littoral Combat Ship [LCS].--The fiscal year 2015 budget
request includes full funding for the procurement of three
Littoral Combat Ships [LCS], a reduction of one ship compared
to the prior year budget request. The Committee notes that the
Navy agreed to a block buy contract for 20 LCS in fiscal year
2010, ramping two shipyards up to a rate of two LCS per year
beginning in fiscal year 2012, and that the Navy had planned on
procuring the last four ships of that block buy in fiscal year
2015. The fiscal year 2015 budget submission does not support
that plan. The Committee understands that the Navy now plans to
extend the block buy contract into fiscal year 2016, and that
to preserve block buy pricing additional funds for the
acquisition of long lead materials are required in fiscal year
2015. Therefore, the Committee recommends $80,000,000 only for
preservation of block buy pricing. The Assistant Secretary of
the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition is directed
to provide the congressional defense committees an update on
the Navy's acquisition strategy for LCS prior to the obligation
of these funds.
Amphibious Warships.--According to section 123 of S. 2410,
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, as
reported, the Secretary of the Navy is authorized to
incrementally fund an additional LPD-17 San Antonio-class
amphibious ship. The Committee continues to be concerned about
the level of risk being assumed with amphibious lift
capability. Therefore, to help address the amphibious lift
shortfall that exists today, the Committee recommendation
provides $800,000,000 to incrementally fund an additional LPD-
17 class amphibious ship.
Joint High Speed Vessel [JHSV].--The Department of the Navy
is procuring JHSVs for fast intra-theater transportation of
troops, military vehicles and equipment. With submission of the
fiscal year 2013 budget, the Navy assumed risk with the overall
JHSV requirement and reduced the program procurement objective
from 18 to 10 ships. Under this plan, the final ship would be
purchased with fiscal year 2013 funding. However, based on the
ability of the JHSV to support all branches of the military
services, provide intra-theater sealift, operate in littoral
environments and austere port environments, and support
humanitarian/disaster relief activities, the Committee supports
procuring additional JHSVs to address the original requirement.
Further, the Committee notes that one JHSV is being used as an
experimental test platform for Navy technology projects.
Therefore, the Committee recommends $200,000,000 to procure one
JHSV in fiscal year 2015.
Polar-Class Icebreakers.--The Committee notes that since
2006, the United States has been operating a Polar-class
icebreaker fleet consisting of one heavy and one medium vessel.
The Committee understands that this falls short of U.S.
requirements. While the United States has deferred investment
in its polar fleet, other nations such as China and Russia are
pressing ahead to develop robust icebreaking capability,
allowing them to pursue their national interests in the polar
regions. The Committee supports the interagency process to
develop requirements for a new Polar-class icebreaker or
similarly Arctic-capable surface vessel, recognizing the
strategic importance of Arctic operations to our Nation's
future security and prosperity. Therefore, the Committee
directs the Deputy Secretary of Defense, in cooperation with
the Secretary of the Navy and the Commandant of the United
States Coast Guard, to provide the congressional defense
committees a plan to begin expanding U.S. icebreaking capacity
that will result in the approval of an operational requirements
document no later than 180 days after the date of enactment of
this act.

Littoral Combat Ship [LCS] Mission Modules.--In February
2014, the Secretary of Defense announced the Department's
decision to reduce the planned LCS buy from 52 to 32 ships and
ordered the Secretary of the Navy to conduct a review of the
Navy's small surface combatant needs. The Committee understands
these actions were taken due to concerns raised by the Director
of Operational Test and Evaluation and Congress on the
escalating costs of the ship as well as its survivability.
Additionally, the Government Accountability Office [GAO] has
repeatedly noted that the Navy's strategy includes buying
significant numbers of LCS mission modules before their
performance is demonstrated and that the current inventory of
mission packages exceeds the quantities necessary for
operational testing.
Given the testing concerns raised by GAO and the
Department's current strategic pause on the LCS program, the
Committee finds it prudent to also slow the procurement of LCS
mission modules. Therefore, the Committee recommends a total
reduction of $71,314,000 to the fiscal year 2015 budget request
for LCS mission modules and related components.
Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services
[CANES].--The fiscal year 2015 budget request includes
$422,604,000 for continued procurement and installation of
CANES and CANES--Intell. The Committee understands that the
CANES program declared a Major Automated Information System
[MAIS] Critical Change in December 2013 due to the inability to
achieve a full deployment decision within 5 years of selection
of the preferred alternative. The testing schedule for the
CANES program has faced significant delays due to unrelated
mechanical problems on the original test ship USS Milius (DDG
69), and initial operational test and evaluation is now
scheduled to take place in August 2014 aboard the USS Higgins
(DDG 76). The Committee is concerned with the steep increase in
procurement of systems planned for fiscal year 2015, and that
the program will reach its maximum production rate before
significant testing results can be completed. Therefore, the
Committee recommends a reduction of six systems from the fiscal
year 2015 budget request, which would support an overall
increase in the number of systems procured from 20 in fiscal
year 2014 to 27 in fiscal year 2015.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

C-130 Avionics Modernization Program.--The Committee
supports modernization of the C-130H fleet and understands the
Air Force plans to operate approximately 150 C-130H models for
the foreseeable future. As such, the Committee supports
continuation of the C-130 Avionics Modernization Program [AMP]
program to ensure the Air National Guard operates relevant and
modernized aircraft. Therefore, consistent with the report
accompanying S. 2410, the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2015, as reported, the Committee directs the
Air Force to obligate prior year funds authorized and
appropriated for the C-130 AMP program to conduct such
activities as are necessary to complete testing and transition
the program to production and installation of modernization
kits.
C-130 Aircraft Fleet.--The Committee recognizes the Air
Force's commitment to intra-theater lift as supported by the
multi-year procurement plan of the C-130J aircraft. However,
with a sizable fleet of older model C-130s residing within the
Reserve components, the Committee is concerned with the long
term sustainment of the fleet. Consistent with section 138 of
S. 2410, the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year
2015, the Committee directs the Air Force to develop a
modernization, recapitalization and fielding plan for the
current C-130 fleet that addresses the most recent Quadrennial
Defense Review requirement that the Air Force maintain 300
intra-theater lift aircraft and addresses the recommendations
of the National Commission on the Structure of the Air Force.
B-52 Upgrades.--The Committee commends the Department's
efforts to upgrade the B-52 aircraft. While supportive of the
aircraft and its valuable legacy within the Air Force, the
Committee is monitoring the costs associated with follow-on
modifications to the aircraft. As such, the Committee requests
that the Secretary of the Air Force provide regular updates on
progress of the internal weapons bay upgrade and the combat
network communications technology enhancement and how these
modernization efforts will allow the B-52 to conduct additional
missions and participate in future operations.
Undefinitized Contract Actions.--During review of the
budget request, the Committee notes several programs within the
Aircraft Procurement, Air Force account that had large amounts
of unobligated balances in prior years. For example, two
programs had over $600,000,000 unobligated between fiscal year
2012 and 2013. Among those programs, the Air Force had chosen
undefinitized contract actions [UCAs] in awarding contracts.
While these contract actions are certainly within the bounds of
authority, as outlined in Defense Federal Acquisition
Regulation, Part 217, UCAs are required to be definitized 180
days after award; however, many of these contract awards took
longer. For example, in documentation provided to the Committee
for the HC/MC 130 recapitalization program, the obligation data
indicated that typical contract negotiations take 27 months for
completion. The Committee believes such practice is
unacceptable. The Government Accountability Office [GAO] has
investigated the use of UCAs and has made recommendations to
reduce their usage noting that the risk to the government are
greater when there is little incentive for contractors to
finalize the contract. Therefore, the Committee directs the
Government Accountability Office to review the use of UCAs
within the Aircraft Procurement, Air Force account to determine
how often this contracting option is being utilized and for
what purpose; if other contract award options are more
efficient and effective; and what recommendations GAO can make
to reduce the number of UCAs within the account in the future
and submit a report 120 days after enactment of this act.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Global Positioning System [GPS] Digital Payload.--The
Committee is aware of technical and cost challenges with the
current analog navigation payload on GPS III. The Committee
believes that early Air Force investment, when combined with
industry investment, into the development of a digital
navigation payload will significantly reduce cost and schedule
risk for the future GPS constellation. The fiscal year 2015
budget request includes $32,900,000 for GPS III Space
Modernization Initiative [SMI]. The Committee fully supports
the Air Force's SMI request and directs that of the amount
appropriated, not less than $20,000,000 shall be used to mature
an alternate GPS digital payload.
Space Modernization Initiative [SMI].--Recently, the
Department of Defense has begun to shift its perspective of the
architecture for space-based capabilities away from monolithic
space platforms to creative distribution of payloads on
national, civil, and commercial satellites. The Committee
firmly believes that movement away from large satellites, where
possible, will result in significant cost savings and reduce
the schedule to deliver payloads into orbit. Further, the Air
Force is entering into a pathfinder program with the commercial
satellite communications industry that may provide enhanced
coverage at a lower cost to both the Air Force and the
commercial provider. The Committee commends the Department of
Defense and the Air Force for their unconventional approach to
ensure viable space-based capability for years to come. The
Committee encourages the Air Force to use funds appropriated
for the space modernization initiative to further implement
these new space-based capability strategies.
Defense Meteorological Satellite Program [DMSP].--The
budget request includes $87,000,000 for storage, integration,
test, launch, and early-orbit checkout of one Defense
Meteorological Satellite Program [DMSP] satellite. Air Force
analysis indicates this satellite will not be needed on-orbit
until 2020, costing an additional $425,000,000 in storage
during that period. This amount is excessive for a 1990s
technology satellite originally costing approximately
$500,000,000. The Committee is aware that only a few of the
capabilities provided by this satellite cannot be met by other
existing civil and commercial satellites. The Committee
questions the Air Force's current plan to launch this satellite
in 2020 at a significant cost to the Government for a
capability that may be met through other space-based assets.
Therefore, Committee directs the Air Force to reassess its plan
for the last DMSP and pursue a least cost approach for the
disposition of this satellite. Of the amount requested for
DMSP, the Committee provides $30,000,000.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Energy Efficient Military Billeting.--The Committee
encourages the Department of Defense to continue efforts to
leverage technology and deliver energy efficient returns on
investments, such as thermal technologies in battlefield
housing. Such technologies will realize cost savings by
reducing the military's battlefield fuel footprint while also
making current billeting structures more energy efficient.
Weapon Storage Area Recapitalization.--The Committee
commends the Air Force for its focus on weapon storage area
recapitalization and encourages the Air Force to take into
consideration the amount of immediate use when choosing the
sequence for recapitalization projects. With this in mind, the
Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a
report to the congressional defense committees within 90 days
of enactment of this act detailing the rationale for the order
chosen and the plan to recapitalize the identified weapon
storage areas.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Special Operations Command [SOCOM] Manned Intelligence
Surveillance Reconnaissance [ISR] Aircraft.--The Committee
notes the fiscal year 2015 budget request of $40,500,000 for
modification of MC-12 aircraft being transferred from the Air
Force to Special Operations Command. However, the Committee is
concerned with SOCOM's continuing changes to its requirements
for manned ISR aircraft. The incremental changes to the manned
ISR fleet, including the proposed divestiture of recently
upgraded aircraft, seems to indicate that SOCOM does not
understand its long-term ISR requirements. As a result, the
Committee concurs with the language as directed by S. 2410, the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, as
reported, to complete a review of the platform requirements for
manned ISR aircraft to support United States Special Operations
Forces and includes a reduction of $5,400,000.

Defense Production Act Purchases

Appropriations, 2014.................................... $60,135,000
Budget estimate, 2015................................... 21,638,000
House allowance......................................... 51,638,000
Committee recommendation................................ 51,638,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $51,638,000.
This is $30,000,000 above the budget estimate.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED PROGRAM

The following table summarizes the budget estimate for this
appropriation, the Committee recommendation, and the Committee
recommended adjustments to the budget estimate:

DEFENSE PRODUCTION ACT PURCHASES ......... 21,638 ......... 51,638 ......... 51,638 ......... +30,000 ......... ..............
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additional Funding.--The Committee recognizes the critical
role that the DPA title III program serves in strengthening the
U.S. defense industrial base and believes that this work is in
the national interest. Therefore, the Committee increases
funding for DPA by $30,000,000 over the budget request. The
Committee directs that the additional funding be competitively
awarded to new initiatives and priority consideration should be
given to completion of DPA projects initiated in prior years.
Furthermore, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to inform
the congressional defense committees 30 days prior to any
obligation or expenditure of these funds.

TITLE IV

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION

Funds appropriated under this title provide the resources
required to conduct a program of research, development, test
and evaluation, including research in basic science, applied
research, advanced technology development, demonstration and
validation, engineering and manufacturing development, and
operational systems development.
The President's fiscal year 2015 budget requests a total of
$63,533,947,000 for research, development, test and evaluation
appropriations.

SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION

The Committee recommends research, development, test and
evaluation appropriations totaling $62,566,834,000 for fiscal
year 2015. This is $967,113,000 below the budget estimate.
Committee recommended research, development, test and
evaluation appropriations for fiscal year 2015 are summarized

REPROGRAMMING GUIDANCE FOR ACQUISITION ACCOUNTS

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION OVERVIEW

Use of Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Funding
for Procurement of End Items.--The fiscal year 2015 budget
request includes $69,670,000 in two separate programs in the
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy account for
the acquisition of weapons that will be used operationally. The
Committee strongly believes that these requests violate intent
of section 8055 of the Department of Defense Appropriations
Act, 2014, which prohibits the use of research and development
funding to procure end-items for delivery to military forces
for operational use. The Committee further notes that this
legislative provision has been carried annually for several
years, and has again been requested by the President for
inclusion in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act,
2015. The Committee recommendation once again includes this
restriction.
In particular, the fiscal year 2015 budget request includes
$25,000,000 in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy
to procure two incrementally funded CH-53K helicopters that
will be utilized as operational platforms after completion of
the program's test schedule. The Committee is aware of the need
to maintain the industrial base following a 1 year schedule
delay that shifted the program's production decision into
fiscal year 2016. However, this circumstance does not justify
the violation of public law and sound acquisition practice.
Therefore, the recommendation denies $25,000,000 requested for
these operational aircraft and provides $15,000,000 in research
and development to sustain qualified vendors pending a
production decision for the CH-53K program. This recommendation
allows the test program to proceed as scheduled and has no
negative impact on the program's production schedule.
In addition, the fiscal year 2015 budget request includes
$44,670,000 in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy
to incrementally fund a Ship to Shore Connector ship in
addition to the previously funded test asset. All of the
program's test and training activities will be conducted with
the first Ship to Shore Connector test craft. This second ship
will deliver after completion of the program's test activities
and be utilized as an operational asset. Further, the Committee
notes that the fiscal year 2015 budget request includes
$123,233,000 in Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy for the
procurement of two operational Ship to Shore Connectors. The
Committee denies the use of research and development funds for
the procurement of an operational craft, and realigns funds
from Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy to
Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy for the procurement of a
third Ship to Shore Connector in fiscal year 2015. The
realignment of funds has no impact on the program's acquisition
schedule and allows the test program to proceed as scheduled.
Navy Justification Material.--The Committee is concerned
with the quality of the material provided by the Navy to
justify the fiscal year 2015 President's budget request. The
budget justification was incomplete, and lacked several
mandatory documents, such as R-4a forms. The deletion of these
exhibits is at odds with the Financial Management Regulations
and the principles of justifying the Navy's budget to Congress.
Additionally, several exhibits contained the words ``to be
determined'' in areas where projections could be made such as
contract award date, vendor, and contract type.
The supplemental information that was provided to the
Committee offered little further insight. For example, several
major acquisition programs requested large amounts of funding
for ``primary hardware development,'' without further
explanation. These types of summary entries limited Committee
insight into the planned work. As a result, the Committee
directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide the mandated
justification documents and the required level of detail in the
fiscal year 2016 budget request.
Alternative Energy Research.--The Committee continues to
support the fiscal and operational value of investing in
alternative energy research. The recommendation includes an
additional $75,000,000 for Army, Navy and Air Force research
and development to continue research of promising alternative
energy technologies, such as renewable energies, alternative
fuels, and energy efficiencies. The Committee encourages the
services to focus on the ability of platforms, installations,
and personnel to operate with a diverse mix of fuels.
F135 Engine.--When the Department of Defense made the
decision to terminate the alternate engine for the F-35 Joint
Strike Fighter [JSF] in May of 2011, it reassured the Committee
that a second engine was no longer necessary as a hedge against
the failure of the main JSF engine program. The Department also
stated that the financial benefits, such as savings from
competition, were small if they existed at all. Since that
time, the F135 engine has experienced numerous problems,
including the failure of an oil flow management valve and a
pre-take-off fire in the past few weeks, both of which grounded
the entire fleet of over 100 aircraft. Further, the F135 engine
unit cost has not declined as projected. However, the Committee
believes that had the alternate engine program continued,
competition would have incentivized the F135 engine
manufacturer to find creative methods to drive down prices and
ensure timely delivery of a high quality product, which is
consistent with current Department preference for competition
in acquisitions. Therefore, the Committee recommends the
Secretary of Defense reassess the value of an alternate engine
program creating competition to improve price, quality, and
operational availability.
Solar Research in Dry-Dust Areas.--The Committee supports
efforts by the Department of Defense to become more energy
efficient. These efforts have demonstrated cost savings and are
an important part of the 2010 and 2014 Quadrennial Defense
Reviews and the Department of Defense's Operational Energy
Strategy. Renewable energy, including solar, is an important
part of these efforts. Earlier this year, the Army broke ground
on its largest solar energy plant at Fort Huachuca in Arizona.
Covering 155 acres, the plant is projected to provide not less
than 25 percent of the Fort's electricity. The Committee
believes solar initiatives are also important for overseas
operations, particularly in the Middle East and Africa, where
in country supplies are unreliable and large amounts of energy
often need to be transported to theater. However, dry-dust
problems can prevent the optimal use of solar energy in some
areas. Therefore, the Committee urges the Department of Defense
to continue research into the use of solar energy in dry-dust
regions.
Basic Research.--The fiscal year 2015 budget request
includes $2,017,502,000 for basic research to be performed by
all Department of Defense [DOD] services and agencies. This
amount is $149,096,000, or 7 percent below the fiscal year 2014
enacted level. The Committee is discouraged by this sharp
decline, because basic research is the foundation upon which
other technology is developed. Further, basic research
performed by DOD spans across universities and colleges, small
businesses and laboratories, growing future scientists and
creating new business opportunities. Earlier this year, the
Committee held a hearing on Defense Research and Innovation.
The testimony provided by the witnesses indicated that a sharp
decline in science and technology investment could threaten
America's technological edge. Therefore, the Committee
recommends $2,274,928,000 for basic research, a 5 percent
increase for the Department of the Army, Department of the Air
Force, Department of the Navy and DOD, above previously enacted
levels. The Committee also expects that the Department not make
disproportionate or unjustified reductions to science and
technology entities as part of the headquarters management
reduction initiative.

Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle [AMPV].--The fiscal year 2015
budget request includes $92,353,000 for the Armored Multi-
Purpose Vehicle [AMPV], a Family of Vehicles based on a
military vehicle derivative that will replace the M-113 Armored
Personnel Carriers to support Armored Brigade Combat Teams
across the range of military operations. The Committee notes
that the Army Acquisition Objective of 3,007 vehicles for the
AMPV program of record does not include vehicles for Echelons
Above Brigade [EAB], which could require additional quantities
in excess of 1,900 vehicles. The Committee understands that the
Army is preparing a report to the congressional defense
committees on its plan to eventually replace all M-113 Armored
Personnel Carriers within Echelons Above Brigade formations;
however, the Committee notes that any potential acquisition
program requires an Analysis of Alternatives to support
decision milestones.
The Committee notes that the fiscal year 2015 budget
request includes $9,913,000 in a separate program element for
several Analyses of Alternatives [AoA], and further notes that
while the Army is considering selection of the AMPV EAB as a
potential AoA candidate in fiscal year 2015, the Army has not
yet decided whether to proceed with that particular AoA.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Army to conduct an
Analysis of Alternatives for an AMPV EAB requirement in fiscal
year 2015, and allocates $4,000,000 only for that purpose from
within available funds. Further, the Army is directed to report
to the congressional defense committees within fifteen days of
completion of the AoA on its findings and results.
Patriot Modernization.--The fiscal year 2015 budget request
includes $152,991,000 in Research, Development, Test and
Evaluation, Army for Patriot Modernization, an increase of
$117,957,000 over amounts appropriated in fiscal year 2014. The
Committee has previously expressed concerns in Senate Reports
113-85 and 112-196 regarding the lack of clearly defined
requirements for this program, the absence of an acquisition
strategy that embraces competition, and a lack of full
understanding of costs. These concerns are exacerbated by the
fiscal year 2015 budget submission, which more than doubles
projected funding required for Patriot Modernization through
fiscal year 2018, compared to estimates provided for that same
time period just 1 year ago. The Committee notes that this
comparison does not include funding identified in this year's
budget submission for a future radar competition beginning in
fiscal year 2017. Further, the Committee notes that excluding
the development and acquisition of a new radar, the Army plans
to invest over $2,200,000,000 for modernization of the Patriot
system over the next 5 years in Research, Development, Test and
Evaluation, Army and in Missile Procurement, Army, and that the
large majority of these funds would not be competitively
awarded. The Committee does not believe this to be in the best
interest of the Army or the U.S. taxpayer.
Finally, the Committee notes that the Army has delayed
submission to the congressional defense committees of reports
required in Senate Report 113-85, which direct a plan from the
Secretary of the Army that establishes an open system software
architecture for future upgrades and technology refresh to the
Patriot system in the near-term, and an acquisition strategy
from the Secretary of the Army in conjunction with the Under
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics
that incorporates full and open competition for Patriot
Modernization in the near-, mid- and long-term. Therefore, the
Committee does not find the requested program increase
justified, and recommends $37,991,000 for Patriot Modernization
in fiscal year 2015, consistent with amounts appropriated in
fiscal year 2014.
In addition, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of
Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, in
conjunction with the Director of the Office of Secretary of
Defense Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation, to provide with
the fiscal year 2016 budget submission a cost assessment of the
acquisition strategy for Patriot Modernization, as well as an
estimate of savings that would result from inserting
competition in the acquisition strategy in the near-term.
Network Integration Evaluation [NIE].--The fiscal year 2015
budget request includes $105,279,000 to conduct two Network
Integration Evaluation [NIE] exercises. The Committee notes
that the Army continues to over-estimate costs for the NIE,
resulting in repeated significant underexecution, accumulating
carry-over funding and annual budget re-estimates. The
Committee further notes that the Army intends to apply
$20,000,000 of funds appropriated in fiscal year 2014 to fiscal
year 2015 requirements. Accordingly, the Committee recommends a
reduction to the fiscal year 2015 request to ensure the Army
can execute the funds it is provided.
Army Aviation Modernization Programs.--The fiscal year 2015
budget submission includes $264,887,000 for the modification
and product improvement of multiple aircraft. The Committee
notes that this includes funds for no less than five major
efforts, including two major acquisition programs, the UH-60L
Digital Cockpit program and the Improved Turbine Engine Program
[ITEP]. The Committee further notes that neither the UH-60L
Digital Cockpit program nor the ITEP program has been fully
funded for two consecutive budget cycles and that both programs
are beset by repeated program delays. The Committee is
concerned that the Army is again heading towards failure with
two major acquisition programs, and does not believe this
matter is alleviated by co-mingling funding for these programs
with other aviation modernization efforts. Therefore, the
Committee recommends adjusting the budget structure for the
modernization of aviation platforms and directs the Army to
maintain the revised budget alignment in the fiscal year 2016
budget submission.
Precision Weapons Testing.--The Committee understands that
the Army is executing on-going technology and development
programs for small, precision weapon munitions that provide
low-collateral damage capabilities in urban environments and
counter-insurgency operations. The Committee encourages the
Army to continue to develop and flight test guidance,
navigation, control, and targeting capabilities on small,
precise weapons.
Military Batteries.--The Committee recognizes the critical
nature of high quality batteries to power military wheeled and
tracked vehicles in austere, demanding environments. The
Committee understands that utilizing batteries based on
decades-old design poses potential risks to equipment and
personnel, and that the Army has increased use of batteries
based on modern designs that deliver improved performance in
tactical environments. The Committee directs the Secretary of
the Army to provide with the fiscal year 2016 budget submission
a report detailing safety incidents by different types of
battery models used.
Materials Technology for Strategic Defense.--The Committee
notes the Army Research Laboratory [ARL] is expanding research,
education, and technology development efforts in materials and
metals processing science and engineering, aiming to transform
the affordability, performance, and environmental
sustainability of strategic materials. The Committee further
notes that ARL's Open Campus concept benefits the academic
community and industry through collaboration with ARL's
research staff, leading to continued technological superiority
for the U.S. warfighter, and encourages the Army to review
whether its strategic materials efforts could benefit from the
Open Concept approach.
Army Inventory Tracking.--The Committee is concerned about
difficulties to effectively and efficiently manage and account
for equipment returning from Afghanistan. This challenge also
affects cataloguing, inventorying, and tracking of equipment in
the continental United States. The Committee understands that
the Army is testing automated inventory tracking and management
solutions to address capability gaps, and encourages further
testing and evaluation to determine if these solutions can be
cost-effective, time-saving alternatives to the current means
of cataloguing and tracking returning equipment. The Committee
directs the Army to report to the congressional defense
committees not later than 120 days after the enactment of this
act on the result of these evaluations.
Health Surveillance Technologies.--The Committee is aware
of Department of Defense efforts to use technology to improve
surveillance of hospital-based patient safety and quality
initiatives as well surveillance of acute and chronic public
health disease threats. Deployment of these critical
technologies has the ability not only to detect rarely
occurring biological threat agents, but the ability to identify
the occurrence of naturally occurring infectious illnesses. The
technologies can be further modified to detect non-infectious
diseases and chronic illness, and to conduct patient safety
surveillance in the hospital and outpatient settings. The
Committee encourages the Department to work with the medical
and academic community and continue its efforts in reaching the
full deployment of these technologies.

Ocean Exploration Program.--As recommended by the
President's Commission on Ocean Policy, the Office of Naval
Research [ONR] should support the National Oceanic Atmospheric
Administration's ``America's Ocean Exploration Program''
through continued cooperation on advanced technology, such as
remotely controlled and autonomously operated vehicles. Where
appropriate, the Committee encourages ONR to enable information
sharing with other Federal research agencies by integrating and
leveraging relevant research and data.
Commonality for Command and Control Software.--The
Department of the Navy spends a significant portion of its
annual budget to procure, develop, and maintain numerous
Command and Control [C2] software systems to meet the needs of
Navy Flight Test Ranges. These systems contain common software
components. Typically, software components are not off-the-
shelf systems, leading to complex interoperability challenges
which limit data sharing. Therefore, the Committee urges the
Navy to identify concepts that enable the decoupling of
software components for reuse in future Government C2 systems
at Naval Flight Test Ranges. In addition, the Committee
encourages the Navy to evaluate the value of establishing a
government owned-government led open source code repository.
Navy Alternative Energy.--The Committee provides an
additional $25,000,000 for Navy alternative energy research.
The Committee encourages the Navy to expand ocean renewable
energy testing, research, develop, and deploy for maritime
security systems, support at-sea surveillance and
communications systems, and explore opportunities to reduce the
cost of energy and increase energy security at coastal
Department of Defense [DOD] facilities. The Committee
encourages the Navy to continue its investments in developing
ocean renewable energy technologies, as defined in the Energy
Independence and Security Act of 2007, and to coordinate with
the Department of Energy and designated National Marine
Renewable Energy Centers for ocean renewable energy
demonstration activities at or near DOD facilities.
Power Generation and Energy Storage.--The Committee
supports the Navy's investments in power generation and energy
storage research. The Committee notes that development and
deployment of lithium-ion batteries are critical to current and
future missions, but safety incidents and concerns have made it
challenging for operational utility. Therefore, the Committee
encourages the Department of the Navy to continue development
and qualification of technologies to reduce the risk of thermal
runaway in lithium-ion batteries.
HAZMAT Elimination.--Until recently, most on-board ship
water purification systems used bromine as an antimicrobial.
However, bromine is toxic, and requires special HAZMAT handling
which is time-consuming and expensive. While the Navy has
placed bromine-free systems on most of the large deck surface
ship classes, it has not yet removed bromine systems from the
LCS, CG, DDG, and FFG classes. The Committee urges the Navy to
explore using systems that eliminate this HAZMAT threat to its
personnel.
Counter Anti-Access/Area Denial Capabilities.--The
Committee remains concerned about the ability of U.S. naval
forces to confront anti-access/area-denial environments in
maritime domains, particularly in the Asia Pacific region. U.S.
Forces face complex and sophisticated emerging ballistic and
cruise missile threats that impact operational access and
mission effectiveness. The Committee urges the Office of Naval
Research to conduct research efforts on technologies that
enhance the ability of U.S. naval forces to operate in heavily
contested environments.
Integrated Undersea Surveillance System.--The Committee
understands that the Integrated Undersea Surveillance System
provides the Navy with its primary means of submarine
detection. The Committee believes that developing technology
that is capable of autonomous installation of an undersea
passive acoustic array should be a Navy priority. Therefore,
the Committee encourages the Navy to continue developing this
technology.
Navy Integrated Capability Concept.--The Committee notes
the Department of the Navy is pursuing a streamlined approach
to integrating multiple weapon systems under the Navy
Integrated Capability Concept. This concept will greatly
enhance interoperability across weapon systems in the Navy;
however, the other military departments are not participating
in these integration activities. In addition, this concept is
directing the modification of Navy weapons systems, which is
expected to cost over $4,000,000,000. The Committee believes
that such a large financial commitment cannot be carried out
without proper validation of requirements, which is required of
any major defense acquisition program. As a result, the
Committee directs the Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation
[CAPE] and the Joint Requirements Oversight Council [JROC] to
review and validate this cost and requirements of the concept
and report to the congressional defense committees within 180
days of enactment of this act.
Ohio Replacement Program.--The fiscal year 2015 President's
budget request includes $853,277,000 to continue development of
the Ohio-class replacement submarine. The current fleet of 14
ballistic submarines are scheduled to retire in fiscal year
2027, after 42 years of service. The Committee received
testimony from the Chief of Naval Operations that replacement
of the Ohio-class SSBN ``is the top priority program for the
Navy'' and encourages the same priority for the program in
future years' budgets. The Committee strongly urges the Navy to
keep this program on schedule and within budget.
F/A-18 and EA-18G Propulsion Upgrade Study.--The Committee
encourages the Department of the Navy to continue researching
potential F414-400 turbofan engine upgrades for the F/A-18 and
EA-18G. Therefore, the Committee fully funds the fiscal year
2015 request for the F/A-18 and EA-18G modernization plan.
Amphibious Combat Vehicle.--This fiscal year 2015 request
includes $105,749,000 to begin development of the Amphibious
Combat Vehicle Increment 1.1. The funding is requested to
manufacture 33 prototype vehicles, conduct testing and other
associated costs. The Committee is supportive of the Marine
Corps' Amphibious Combat Vehicle [ACV] program but is concerned
with aspects of the proposed acceleration of the acquisition
strategy, such as inadequate test schedules and excessive
numbers of prototypes. Therefore, the Committee fully funds the
fiscal year 2015 request, but rescinds $40,000,000 previously
appropriated in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act,
2014. The combined fiscal year 2014 and fiscal year 2015 funds
allows ample funding for competitive contract awards in fiscal
year 2015.
Electromagnetic Railgun.--The Navy has initiated a new
effort to transition several breakthrough technologies to the
warfighter, including the electromagnetic railgun. The
advantages of this capability include increased range over
traditional propellant guns, enhanced lethality, increased
ammunition storage capacity, and decreased costs when compared
to current land attack missiles. The fiscal year 2015
President's budget request includes, and the Committee fully
funds, $58,696,000 to procure equipment and define ship
modifications for a railgun demonstration on a Joint High Speed
Vessel.
In an effort to accelerate the railgun's deployment and
reduce the risk of this technology, the Committee encourages
the Navy to fund a small railgun demonstration as proposed by
the Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium. Demonstration of a
smaller weapon would allow for the rapid production, testing,
and early fielding of a tactical railgun system. Once
developed, this system may also be used for early fielding of
an integrated air and missile defense system to provide testing
components for other systems.
By April 1, 2015, the Committee directs the Secretary of
Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense
committees that outlines the Navy and Strategic Capabilities
Office's plan to demonstrate a small (10 mega-joule or less
system) electromagnetic railgun system as a step to reduce
program risk for follow-on development efforts.
Unmanned Carrier Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike
[UCLASS] System.--The Committee supports the request of
$403,017,000 to continue the development of the UCLASS program
in three segments: the air segment, the control system and
connectivity segment, and the carrier segment. The Committee is
concerned that the Navy is proceeding with UCLASS development
prior to the formal establishment of stable requirements.
For example, earlier this year, the Navy issued a second
draft request for proposals for the air segment, which included
changes to the key performance parameters from the original
draft. The changes in requirements forced industry to
significantly change their air vehicle designs to better meet
the amended parameters. This could have been avoided if the
UCLASS requirements had been formally established through a
Joint Requirements Oversight Council approved capability
development document [CDD] prior to issuing a draft request for
proposal. The Committee is concerned that the Navy is avoiding
basic acquisition practices at the outset of a very large
development program. To help ensure key performance parameters
are well established and understood in the future, the
Committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to obtain Joint
Requirements Oversight Council approval of the UCLASS CDD
before issuing the final request for proposal.
MQ-4 Triton Unmanned Aerial Vehicle [UAV].--The fiscal year
2015 President's budget requests $498,003,000 to continue
system development and begin modernization of the RQ-4 Triton
UAV program. Last year, the program experienced a 2 year delay
in development and added $312,000,000 across fiscal years 2014
and 2015. This year, the program has experienced an additional
year delay and added $407,600,000 across fiscal years 2015,
2016 and 2017. The Committee is concerned with the cost and
schedule breaches over the past few years. In addition, the
Committee is troubled by the software development delays, the
reduction of a test article, the development of a unique ground
station, and the lack of anti-tamper systems to protect the
critical technologies. Therefore, the Committee recommends
deferring modernization until a review of the capabilities
development document outlining the modernization program is
performed by the Joint Review Oversight Council [JROC]. The
Committee reduces the fiscal year 2015 research and development
request by $60,000,000, and directs the Navy to use $5,000,000
to complete the analysis in support of the JROC review. The
recommendation includes a separate modernization budget line
item for transparency.
Satellite Communications Interference.--The Committee is
aware that the Department of the Navy is investigating
methodologies to decrease interference in satellite
communication between the Mobile User Objective System [MUOS]
satellite transmission and the terminals. The Committee is
concerned about problems associated with interference in ground
terminals for wideband satellite communications systems and
encourages further development of technologies that can
effectively address this interference. Therefore, the Committee
fully funds the budget request for the satellite communication
development program and encourages the Navy to work with small
businesses to provide an affordable solution.

Technology Transfer.--The Committee recognizes the
importance of the technology transfer program and recommends an
additional $2,500,000 to complement and leverage current
program efforts largely focused on licensing Department of
Defense patents across a broad range of industries. The
Committee encourages the Department of Defense to apply the
additional funds to universities with robust programs in
aviation and aerospace research. The funds will allow these
universities to lead the transfer of defense technology to
address specific technology shortfalls within the United States
aviation and aerospace industry.
The Competitive Rocket Innovation--Modern Engine
Arrangement.--The Committee is concerned with the Air Force's
reliance on the Russian RD-180 engine to power the first stage
of the Atlas V launch vehicle for assured access to space. When
the Department originally decided to use the RD-180 engine, the
Air Force committed to develop an advanced rocket engine that
would eventually replace the RD-180. Unfortunately, the Air
Force failed to make rocket engine development a priority, so
the program remains a science and technology project with no
formal completion schedule that would deliver a new engine in
this decade.
The fiscal year 2015 science and technology budget request
includes $43,059,000 for liquid rocket engine technology
development. The Committee believes this level of funding falls
short of the investment needed to create a viable new engine
program and therefore adds $25,000,000.
The Committee also recognizes that, in addition to assuring
access to space for national payloads, civil space programs and
the commercial launch industry would benefit from an
affordable, domestically manufactured, advanced technology
rocket engine that would be available to all launch providers.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force
to develop an affordable, competitive rocket engine development
strategy that delivers a rocket engine by 2019. The strategy
should include an assessment of the potential benefits and
challenges of using public-private partnerships and innovative
teaming arrangements. The Secretary of the Air Force shall
submit the development strategy to the congressional defense
committees no later than 180 days after the enactment of this
act.
Space Launch Range Services and Capability.--The Committee
notes that a lack of competition for launch services over the
past decade has resulted in significant launch costs and
disincentives for industry to invest in development to improve
launch capabilities. The Committee believes additional
competition can be achieved by creating new opportunities
within the United States launch infrastructure, including
commercial and State-owned launch facilities. Increasing the
capability and number of launch facilities helps to ensure our
Nation's ability to launch priority space assets. Therefore, to
promote competition at launch facilities, $7,000,000 is
provided to spaceports or launch and range complexes that are
commercially licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration
and receive funding from the local or State government. These
funds shall be used to develop the capacity to provide mid-to-
low inclination orbits or polar-to-high inclination orbits in
support of the national security space program.
Combat Rescue Helicopter.--The Committee fully supports the
Air Force's decision to proceed with an acquisition program to
replace the aging HH-60G Pave Hawk combat search and rescue
helicopter. Due to the timing of this decision, the President's
budget request for fiscal year 2015 reflects no funding in
fiscal year 2015 and a shortfall of $436,000,000 from fiscal
year 2016 through 2018.
Since 2010, the HH-60G Pave Hawk readiness rate has
remained around 60 percent. However, the cost to achieve this
rate has grown an average of 7 percent year-by-year. Based on
this data, the Committee believes it is unaffordable not to
recap the aging Pave Hawk fleet. Therefore, the Committee
provides an additional $100,000,000 in fiscal year 2015 and
urges the Secretary of the Air Force to fully fund this program
in the out-years consistent with the most recent decision on
the program.
The Committee notes that some combat rescue scenarios in
the Africa Command and Pacific Command areas of
responsibilities could create challenges to a pure rotor wing
fleet. Therefore, to ensure the program addresses the full
spectrum of combat rescue missions, the Committee encourages
the Air Force to review the joint operational needs and
requirements to determine if a high-low capability would best
meet the combatant commander's needs.
The Committee also directs that should the Secretary of the
Air Force consider terminating the combat rescue helicopter
program, a 30-day written notification must first be provided
to the congressional defense committees. This program is
designated as a congressional special interest item.
Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System [JSTARS]
Recapitalization.--The Committee is encouraged by the Air
Force's effort to replace the aging, and increasingly costly,
JSTARS E-8C aircraft, and supports the conclusions of Air
Force's Analysis of Alternatives [AOA] study. The AOA
determined that a business jet aircraft outfitted with existing
moving target indicator [MTI] radar and battle management
command and control [BMC2] technology would meet the combatant
commanders' warfighting requirements at the lowest cost.
However, the budget request shows that the Air Force intends to
pursue a traditional acquisition program and expend nearly
$2,000,000,000 on a research and development effort despite the
fact that existing radars could be integrated onto existing
business jet airframes.
The Committee is concerned that the Air Force plans to
begin retirement of this high demand/low density asset in 2016
just as it is embarking on an extensive development program
with no production planned until 2019. Further, the Air Force
plans to launch into competitive prototyping in fiscal year
2015 before a formal capabilities development document is
approved that finalizes the system requirements to be
prototyped. The Air Force states their plan is to leverage high
technology readiness level communication, sensor, and BMC2
system technologies to reduce program cost, schedule, and risk.
However, the program, as laid out, will not enter into the
engineering, manufacturing, and development phase until fiscal
year 2017, with over $400,000,000 spent prior to that phase.
The current acquisition strategy does not reflect the mature,
affordable and existing components that will be utilized.
The Committee believes this is an integration effort rather
than a research and development effort, and for that reason,
reduces the fiscal year 2015 request by $63,088,000, and
directs the Secretary of the Air Force to reassess the
acquisition strategy to shorten the development phase and enter
into production earlier.
B-52 Radar Replacement.--In March 2013, the Air Force
submitted a report to the Committee that stated replacing the
B-52 radar will cost less than sustaining its existing radar
for the remaining service life of the aircraft. The Committee
also understands that legacy radar sustainment costs will
increase in the coming years, but the Air Force cannot afford
the up-front development cost of a replacement radar. The
Committee recommends the Secretary of the Air Force reassess
the cost of a new radar versus the cost of sustaining the
legacy radar, and consider including funds in the fiscal year
2016 budget request to begin replacement of the B-52 legacy
radar system.
Requirements Analysis and Maturation.--The Committee
understands that the Department of Defense [DOD] has spent over
$130,000,000 to develop and deploy multi-physics engineering
software applications. These applications have been used in
over 70 pilot demonstration programs to improve the outcomes of
DOD weapon system acquisitions though rapid virtual prototyping
using high performance computing and software tailored for
complex DOD weapon system issues. The Committee believes that
the Department is on the verge of making a paradigm change in
weapons system engineering. Therefore, the Committee encourages
the Department to expand and institutionalize virtual
prototyping in the weapon system acquisition process. The
Committee provides an additional $3,000,000 to establish a
systems engineering capability for DOD weapon system virtual
prototyping based on high performance computing.
Advanced Extremely High Frequency Terminals.--The Committee
is concerned with the change to the Air Force's plan that
delays development and acquisition of Advanced Extremely High
Frequency [AEHF] terminals for the bomber fleet of aircraft.
The Committee believes that any gap in command and control of
nuclear forces is unacceptable. Therefore, the Committee
directs that the Secretary of the Air Force provide a detailed
plan on how it will mitigate any bomber related command and
control shortfall resulting from the revised AEHF terminal
acquisition strategy. The report shall be submitted to the
congressional defense committees not later than 120 days from
enactment of this act.
C-130H Upgrades for the Air National Guard.--The Committee
received a letter from the State Adjutants General of the
National Guard outlining their support for continued
modernization of the Air National Guard's C-130H fleet. In this
letter, the Adjutants General expressed their concern that the
C-130H fleet would not be modified with Automatic Dependent
Surveillance-Broadcast [ADS-B] Out capability prior to 2020.
The letter highlights that the current $2,300,000,000 C-130
Avionics Modernization Program [AMP] does not include this
critical ADS-B Out capability. Because the AMP does not include
the ADS-B Out modification, the Committee is encouraged by the
State Adjutants General request to pursue an alternative C-130
Communication, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management
[CNS/ATM] solution for the Air National Guard to meet the 2020
mandate. Therefore, the Committee would be willing to consider
a reprogramming request submitted to the congressional defense
committees transferring fiscal year 2015 funds to the C-130
Airlift Squadrons budget line item in the Research,
Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force appropriation to
begin a program in fiscal year 2015.
High-Altitude Intelligence, Surveillance, and
Reconnaissance [ISR] Programs.--The RQ-4 Global Hawk provides
unique capabilities that are in high demand supporting critical
missions in all six geographic combatant command regions across
the globe. Likewise, the U-2 aircraft provides unique
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance [ISR]
capabilities and treaty verification data currently unmet by
any other Air Force platform. In the fiscal year 2015 budget
request, the Air Force outlines its intent to begin retiring
the U-2 fleet in 2016. The Air Force also proposes to begin
work that will integrate the U-2 sensor onto the Global Hawk
platform at a cost of $487,000,000, as reported in 2013. The
Committee is concerned by the Air Force's decision to retire a
critical piece of its high-altitude ISR fleet without a high-
altitude ISR transition plan, and the projected cost to upgrade
the Global Hawk Block 30. Therefore, of the amounts
appropriated in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air
Force for Global Hawk RQ-4 UAV, $77,100,000 intended for
payload integration may not be obligated until the Secretary of
Defense provides a classified report to the congressional
defense committees. The report should identify the different
types of high-altitude, combatant commander strategic ISR
requirements, which platforms are or can be used to fulfill
these requirements, and which requirements will not be met if
the U-2 is retired. This report shall also contain an updated
high-altitude ISR transition plan and an estimate of the cost
to modify the Global Hawk Block 30 or any other platform.
Arctic Domain Awareness.--The Committee is concerned with
the pace of needed development in the arctic region,
particularly with respect to arctic domain awareness. The
United States currently has a limited weather satellite
presence covering the region that will be further reduced by
2019. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense
to provide a report to the congressional defense committees,
within 180 days of enactment of this act, outlining a plan to
ensure arctic domain awareness coverage for the foreseeable
future, including an assessment of the potential to partner
with Canada on the Canadian Weather Satellite mission.
Air Force T-1A Aircraft.--The T-1A aircraft is used to
train all tanker and transport pilots and, due to its age,
requires significant upgrades or a service life extension. The
Committee supports section 139 of S. 2410, the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, as reported, which
requires the Air Force to submit to the congressional defense
committees a report on the options for replacing or upgrading
the T-1A aircraft's capability.
Minority Leaders Program.--The Committee encourages the Air
Force Research Laboratory to invest in research activities that
can be conducted by the Air Force Minority Leaders Program to
meet critical defense capabilities, science and technology,
future workforce, and technical program objectives for the Air
Force. Additionally, the Committee urges the Air Force Research
Laboratory to expand the research areas in which the Air Force
Minority Leaders Program can participate.

Manufacturing and Innovation Centers.--The Committee notes
the budget request supports five manufacturing innovation
institutes. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense
to use these institutes to provide advanced manufacturing
capabilities in critical technology sectors, strengthen the
defense industrial base, and promote the training of a
technical manufacturing and engineering workforce. The
Committee directs the Department to ensure that the private
sector's cost share at least equally matches the funding from
Federal sources, and recommends that the Department limit
direct core support for these institutes to 5 fiscal years.
Prior to establishing a new institute, the Committee directs
the Department to submit to the congressional defense
committees a business case analysis of costs, requirements, and
justifications for the selection of the award and include
metrics-based performance measures to monitor performance and
success of the institute. The institute performers can compete
for other manufacturing technology and research funding
available from the Federal Government at all times. Finally,
the Department should encourage institutes to work with private
sector partners on pre-competitive research activities, common
technical standards, and joint technology and manufacturing
roadmaps.
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency [DARPA] Basic
Research.--The Committee provides an increase in basic research
of 5 percent over the fiscal year 2014 enacted levels across
the services and the defense wide research and development
accounts. Of that increase, the Committee provides an
additional $30,909,000 for DARPA basic research. As the
Department's leading research agency, the Committee understands
that DARPA is best positioned to identify cutting edge research
but believes it must utilize a wider set of colleges and
universities, smaller defense contractors, and commercial
firms. The Committee directs DARPA to submit a report to the
congressional defense committees within 120 days after
enactment of this act on its plan to utilize the additional
funding.
Additive Technology.--The Committee notes that additive
manufacturing has revolutionized production in key commercial
industries, ranging from automotive and aerospace to medical
devices and now cellular phone sectors. Innovations in this
field have resulted in unprecedented efficiencies in product
design, energy consumption, and supply chain management.
However, it can take a decade or more to insert new materials
and processes into key defense supply chains. The Committee
urges the Department of Defense to focus efforts on breaking
down key barriers for wider usage of this groundbreaking
technology in the defense industrial base. The Committee
directs that the Under Secretary for Acquisition, Technology,
and Logistics report on the Department's activities to:
accelerate quality control and qualification of additive
manufacturing technology in various defense supply chains;
increase speed of additive manufacturing production processes
to meet both low and high volume needs; and integrate
commercial advances in additive manufacturing and 3D scanning
into defense supply chains, including investment casting,
electronics and communications, medical bracing and devices,
and ground and aerospace vehicle production.
Strategic Capabilities Office [SCO].--The Committee
commends the Department of Defense for standing up the
Strategic Capabilities Office to provide lower-cost, strategic
alternatives for shaping and countering emerging threats. The
Committee believes that such efforts are a wise use of
Government resources that can enhance current capabilities
available to the services and combatant commanders. While
supportive of these efforts, the Committee is concerned with
the coordination of SCO initiatives with other service and
Department of Defense research and development priorities.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense
for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics [AT&L] to provide a
report to the congressional defense committees on SCO's current
and long-term mission, a timeline for SCO project development
and transition to Department or service activities, and the
process by which SCO initiatives are coordinated with other
service and Department research priorities. The report should
also address how SCO efforts differ from those efforts
typically funded through the joint capabilities and technology
demonstration [JCTD] and rapid fielding initiatives.
Technology Transfer Pilot Program.--The Committee directs
the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering
to conduct a pilot program on public-private technology
transfer ventures between Department of Defense research and
development labs and centers and regionally-focused technology
commercialization organizations, including accelerators,
incubators, and innovation centers. The primary goal of the
pilot program should be to increase the commercialization of
intellectual property developed in the Department's research
and development enterprise in support of critical cross-service
technological needs. Areas of focus should include but not be
limited to energetics, aviation, unmanned systems, rapid
prototyping, corrosion control, and water quality improvement.
Technology commercialization partners and initial technology
incubator partnerships should be selected through full and open
competition emphasizing strong business plans, demonstrated
expertise in mentorship and commercialization, and strong
regional partnerships. The Secretary of Defense shall report to
the Committee on the implementation of the pilot program by
April 1, 2015.
Gas Reactors.--The Committee is aware of the Department of
Defense's interest in developing capabilities that would allow
for self-contained power generation for military installations.
In 2011, the Center for Naval Analysis released a study
outlining new nuclear plant designs which could provide modular
power generation, such as smaller scale high temperature gas
reactors that use pebble bed technology. The Committee urges
the Secretary of Defense to study the feasibility of such
technology to include an evaluation of the safety and efficacy
of this technology and determine whether a future set of
prototype systems should be considered for development. The
Committee requests that the Secretary of Defense consider the
expedited licensing paths, development strategies, and
recommended next steps for maturing this technology as part of
the recommended study.
UAS Common Development Program.--The Committee notes that
the Federal Aviation Administration [FAA] recently designated
six unmanned aerial system [UAS] national test sites and plans
to announce a UAS Center of Excellence soon that together will
develop policies and standards to govern the integration of UAS
into the national airspace system [NAS]. The Committee provides
an additional $4,561,000 for the UAS Common Development and
encourages the Department of Defense to coordinate with the FAA
and National Aeronautics and Space Administration [NASA] in the
development and demonstration of common UAS standards,
architecture, and technologies. The intent of the effort is to
ensure a consistent, nationwide approach to airspace
integration across both civil and public sectors and in a way
that protects privacy and the safety of other aircraft and
people on the ground.

MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY

Major Acquisition Program New Starts.--The fiscal year 2015
budget request includes $99,500,000 to initiate development of
improved homeland defense interceptors, and $50,500,000 to
initiate development of a long-range discrimination radar. The
Committee notes that these are major defense acquisition
programs with acquisition costs expected to exceed
$1,000,000,000. Therefore, the Committee recommends
transferring funding for these programs to separate program
elements and directs MDA to follow that program element
structure in future budget submissions.
Further, the Committee believes that for each program, MDA
should follow robust acquisition practices, to include
conducting a full Analysis of Alternatives; seeking approval of
requirements by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council;
developing an acquisition strategy in accordance with DOD
5000.02 regulations; maximizing competition; and providing
Office of Secretary of Defense Cost Assessment and Program
Evaluation sufficient time to conduct an Independent Cost
Estimate prior to reaching the milestone B equivalent of the
development effort. The Committee directs the Director, Missile
Defense Agency to provide the congressional defense committees
an update on MDA's progress implementing these acquisition
practices within 60 days of enactment of this act.
Ground-Based Midcourse Defense [GMD] Reliability and
Maintenance Shortfalls.--The fiscal year 2015 budget request
includes $1,003,768,000 for Ground-Based Midcourse Defense
[GMD]. The Committee understands that subsequent to the budget
submission, the Director, Missile Defense Agency, completed an
assessment of the GMD system, which identified funding
shortfalls of certain reliability and maintenance functions.
Therefore, the Committee recommends an additional $30,000,000
only for Ground-Based Midcourse Defense [GMD] reliability and
maintenance efforts, as authorized by S. 2410, the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, as reported.
The Committee understands that the Director, Missile Defense
Agency plans to report to the congressional defense committees
no later than November 15, 2014, on an implementation plan for
executing GMD reliability and maintenance improvement efforts.
The Committee directs the Director, Missile Defense Agency, to
include in that implementation plan details on MDA's
contracting strategy for GMD reliability and maintenance
activities that meets program goals within cost and schedule
while ensuring Government and industry accountability.
Acquisition Accountability in MDA Software Development
Programs.--The fiscal year 2015 budget request includes no less
than $510,200,000 for Aegis and $417,816,000 for Command and
Control, Battle Management and Communications [C2BMC] software
development efforts. The Committee has previously expressed
concerns regarding excess concurrency due to simultaneous
development of multiple software spirals; the absence of
acquisition program baselines for individual software spirals;
the instability of software spiral content; and annual funding
adjustments without explanation. The Committee notes that none
of these concerns have been addressed with the fiscal year 2015
budget submission. Therefore, the Committee recommends
sustaining Aegis and C2BMC software development efforts at
prior year levels and adjusts the budget request accordingly.
Acquisition of Targets.--The fiscal year 2015 budget
request includes $485,294,000 for the acquisition of targets.
The Committee notes significant volatility in MDA's targets
program, to include the adjustment of more than a dozen targets
or target modules among multiple target classes between fiscal
years. The Committee understands that MDA is working to address
these issues, and expects to see improved acquisition
performance for all target classes. The Committee further
understands that improved acquisition performance will likely
yield contracting efficiencies and recommends a reduction of
$20,000,000.
Standard Missile-3 Block IIA.--The fiscal year 2015 budget
request includes $263,395,000 to continue co-development of the
Standard Missile-3 Block IIA interceptor. This interceptor
contributes to the European Phased Adaptive Approach [EPAA],
which provides regional ballistic missile defense of deployed
U.S. forces and our allies. The Committee is concerned by some
of the technical challenges encountered during program
development and recommends an additional $20,000,000 only for
risk reduction activities. The Committee is further concerned
that the fiscal year 2015 budget request includes initial
funding for 17 SM-3 Block IIA rounds--well in excess of test
requirements--even though the design has not yet proven mature
and appears to be cost-prohibitive at this point. Therefore,
the Committee recommends reducing the budget request only for
SM-3 Block IIA rounds by $50,801,000. The Committee notes that
this recommendation provides sufficient funds to manufacture
rounds in support of the flight test schedule, and does not
delay the development or test schedule.
Sharing of Classified United States Ballistic Missile
Defense Information With the Russian Federation.--The Committee
is concerned with the potential security risks associated with
sharing sensitive U.S. missile defense data and technology with
the Russian Federation. The Committee recognizes existing law
restricts the sharing of sensitive and classified ballistic
missile defense information with the Russian Federation, as
established in Public Law 113-66, the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The Committee expects
the administration to continue to adhere to current law until
superseded by an act authorizing appropriations for fiscal year
2015.

Threat Emitters.--In fiscal year 2014, the Department of
Defense initiated an effort to address deficiencies in future
weapon system capabilities by developing and funding a plan to
acquire advanced electronic warfare threat emitters. In
response to the Department's actions, Congress transferred
funds from the Test Resources Management Center [TRMC] program
element to the Operational Test and Evaluation [OT&E] funding
line to accelerate the development and fielding of these
emitters. In transferring the funds, it was not the intent of
Congress to create two duplicative efforts between the two
testing agencies but rather to address a technology shortfall.
While the Committee believes that TRMC is the best agency to
carry out the overall mission of upgrading range infrastructure
to address multi-service systems, there is concern the TRMC
approach may not meet a timeline to address inadequacies of
systems that are nearing initial operational capability.
In an effort to eliminate duplication and encourage a
streamlined approach to addressing the threat, the Committee
directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology, and Logistics [AT&L] and the Director of
Operational Test and Evaluation [DOT&E] to develop a threat
emitter execution plan, to be approved by the Deputy Secretary
of Defense, that allows for rapid acquisition of both open and
closed loop threat emitters that can be used to test future
weapons systems. The plan shall emphasize DOT&E and TRMC
collaboration and transparency while eliminating mission
duplication between the two organizations; and identify a
single program executive to execute the open loop and closed
loop fielding plan. Furthermore, the Committee directs that any
purchases of open loop emitters beyond fiscal year 2015 be
conducted under an open and competitive process. The Committee
believes that it is in the best interest of national security
and to the taxpayer that both testing agencies set aside their
competing plans and work together to find common solutions to
this threat.

Meals Ready-to-Eat War Reserve.--The Committee commends the
Defense Logistics Agency [DLA] for initiating action to study
the Meals Ready to Eat [MRE] War Reserve and industrial base.
The Committee encourages the Director of the DLA to maintain
the recommendations outlined in DLA's September 2013 Meals
Ready to Eat [MRE] Strategic Plan. This plan outlined an
objective to maintain a stockage level of 5 million cases of
MREs and projected an annual purchase rate of approximately 2.5
million cases through 2016 to meet the stockage objective and
ensure the industrial base is able to meet surge requirements.
The Director of the DLA shall submit written notification to
the congressional defense committees no later than 90 days
prior to seeking any potential modifications to the War Reserve
after September 30, 2014. Additionally, the Director shall
provide an updated report on War Reserve requirements no later
than March 31, 2015.
Defense Commissary Agency.--The Committee recommends an
increase of $200,000,000 for the Defense Commissary Agency
[DECA] in fiscal year 2015 which is consistent with S. 2410,
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, as
reported. The Committee also directs that the Committees on
Appropriations of the House and Senate be recipients of the
reporting requirements directed in the report accompanying S.
2410, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2015, as reported, titled ``Department of Defense proposal to
modify commissary benefit.''
Additionally, the Committee directs the Secretary of
Defense to provide the following information to the
congressional defense committees no later than December 1,
2014:
--a breakdown showing the average percentage of commissary
patrons by enlisted members, officers and retirees;
--surveys or other data on the value placed on commissary
access by its patrons, especially in comparison to
other benefits;
--a description of the impact of sequestration in fiscal year
2013 on the Defense Commissary Agency and commissaries;
and

appropriation, the Committee recommendation, and the Committee
recommended adjustments to the budget estimate:

National Defense Sealift Fund [NDSF].--In the fiscal year
2015 budget request, the Navy proposes the elimination of the
National Defense Sealift Fund [NDSF], which was established in
fiscal year 1993 to address shortfalls in U.S. sealift
capabilities. While the Committee has lingering concerns over
some previous application of NDSF funds, the Committee sees no
reason to eliminate the NDSF in its entirety. Therefore, the
Committee recommends retaining the NDSF and transferring funds
included in the Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy; Research,
Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy; and Operation and
Maintenance, Navy accounts for functions previously funded in
the NDSF back into the NDSF. The Committee directs that none of
these funds may be used for the development or acquisition of
ships.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Investments in Medical Research.--The Committee notes that
Federal investment in medical research has generated medical
discoveries and scientific innovations that have led to longer
lives, created new industries, and established the United
States as a leader in research and development. In order to
maintain our Nation's global leadership and facilitate future
live-saving discoveries, the Committee adds a total of
$789,200,000 for medical research, a 5 percent increase over
the Committee's fiscal year 2014 recommendation.
Defense Health Program Reprogramming Procedures.--The
Committee remains concerned regarding the transfer of funds
from the In-House Care budget sub-activity to pay for
contractor-provided medical care. To limit such transfers and
improve oversight within the Defense Health Program operation
and maintenance account, the Committee includes a provision
which caps the funds available for Private Sector Care under
the TRICARE program subject to prior approval reprogramming
procedures. The provision and accompanying report language
should not be interpreted by the Department as limiting the
amount of funds that may be transferred to the Direct Care
System from other budget activities within the Defense Health
Program. In addition, the Committee continues to designate the
funding for the In-House Care budget sub-activity as a special
interest item. Any transfer of funds from the In-House Care
budget sub-activity into the Private Sector Care budget sub-
activity or any other budget sub-activity will require the
Secretary of Defense to follow prior approval reprogramming
procedures for operation and maintenance funds.
The Committee has received and also remains concerned with
reports that substantial amounts of funding are transferred
from the Private Sector Care budget sub-activity without the
submission of written notification, as required by previous
Department of Defense Appropriations Acts. The Committee
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide written
notification to the congressional defense committees of
cumulative transfers in excess of $10,000,000 out of the
Private Sector Care budget sub-activity not later than 15 days
after such a transfer. Furthermore, the Committee directs the
Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the congressional
defense committees not later than 30 days after the enactment
of this act that delineates transfers of funds in excess of
$10,000,000, and the dates any transfers occurred, from the
Private Sector Care budget sub-activity to any other budget
sub-activity groups for fiscal years 2012, 2013, and 2014.
The Committee further directs the Assistant Secretary of
Defense (Health Affairs) to provide quarterly reports to the
congressional defense committees on budget execution data for
all of the Defense Health Program budget activities and to
adequately reflect changes to the budget activities requested
by the services in future budget submissions.
Carryover.--For fiscal year 2015, the Committee recommends
1 percent carryover authority for the operation and maintenance
account of the Defense Health Program. The Committee directs
the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to submit a
detailed spending plan for any fiscal year 2014 designated
carryover funds to the congressional defense committees not
less than 30 days prior to executing the carryover funds.
Private Sector Care Underexecution.--According to a review
by the Government Accountability Office, the Department
underexecuted its Private Sector Care budget by $1,356,245,000
in fiscal year 2011, $1,463,178,000 in fiscal year 2012, and
$519,427,000 in fiscal year 2013 for an average of 7.1 percent
underexecution. Given the continued trend of prior-year
underexecution, the Committee believes that additional savings
can be realized and recommends a reduction of $855,000,000 to
the fiscal year 2015 budget request. The Committee urges the
Department to submit future year budgets that are more closely
aligned with recent provided care patterns.
Core Medical Research Funding.--The Committee notes that
the Department's fiscal year 2015 budget for medical research,
excluding information technology, severely declined. Core
research and development funding supports medical research in
medical training and health information sciences, military
infectious diseases, military operational medicine, combat
casualty care, radiological health, and clinical and
rehabilitation medicine. The Committee believes that this
research yields important advances in medical care for
servicemembers and their families, as well as the larger
civilian population. Therefore, the Committee recommends
$162,200,000 to restore this unjustified funding reduction and
allow the Department to continue funding its core research
priorities.
Collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs.--
Over the past several years, collaboration between the
Department of Defense [DOD] and the Department of Veterans
Affairs [VA] has significantly increased and the number of
joint projects and services has expanded. The Committee
applauds these efforts and believes that future information
sharing between DOD and VA must strengthen in order to ensure a
seamless transition from active duty and timely access to VA
benefits. Nowhere is this more fundamental than in the
transmission of Service Treatment Records [STRs] from DOD to
VA. These records are essential in the VA's process of making
accurate and timely determinations of benefits to which a
veteran may be entitled.
The Committee applauds the electronic transfer from DOD to
the VA, beginning on January 1, 2014, of certified and complete
STRs for all separating servicemembers via the Health Artifacts
and Imaging Management System [HAIMS]. This process has
streamlined the exchange of a significant amount of data
between DOD and VA and shortened the amount of time it takes
for VA claims adjudicators to receive critical information from
DOD. The Committee applauds DOD on the establishment of a
liaison cell whose focus is uploading certified STRs into
HAIMS. The Committee recommends an additional $3,600,000 for
the continuation and improvement of HAIMS and directs DOD to
upload the STR of all separating servicemembers into HAIMS
within 45 calendar days of a servicemember's separation.
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 directed the DOD
Inspector General to work in coordination with the VA Office of
the Inspector General to assess the time it takes for Service
Treatment records to be transmitted to VA, impediments to
providing the records in a useable electronic format, and
recommendations to streamline this process. The Committee is
currently waiting for the completion and release of the report
and looks forward to reviewing its recommendations.
The Committee understands that Guard and Reserve records
are often the most difficult for the VA to obtain because many
of these veterans saw multiple, non-consecutive deployments
with different units. In January 2014, DOD created three
service Single Points of Entry for VA to contact for
information requests. The Committee understands that DOD and VA
are still collaborating on expanding the Single Points of Entry
concept to assist in the transfer of Guard and Reserve records
and encourages both Departments to standardize this process in
order to ensure the timely processing of benefits for Guard and
Reserve servicemembers.
In October 2010, DOD and VA established a first-of-its-kind
partnership with the opening of the Captain James A. Lovell
Federal Health Care Center [FHCC]. This is a fully integrated
Federal healthcare facility that serves active duty military,
their family members, military retirees, and veterans. The
Committee continues to support the pilot program at FHCC.
Electronic Health Record [EHR].--The Committee remains
concerned about the progress being made by the Departments of
Defense and Veterans Affairs to develop fully interoperable
electronic health records. The ultimate goal of the efforts of
both Departments is to have systems that can exchange data in a
meaningful way and be used in a dynamic environment to improve
patient care and facilitate smoother transitions for
servicemembers from military service to veteran status.
The Committee notes that, despite improvements in providing
information on prior year budgets and expenditures on its
electronic health record, the Department of Defense failed to
provide the Committee with an equivalent level of detail for
its fiscal year 2015 budget request. The Committee continues
its restriction on the amount of funding that may be obligated
for the Interagency Program Office [IPO], the Defense
Healthcare Management Systems Modernization [DHMSM] program,
and the Defense Information Management Exchange [DMIX] to 25
percent of the funding provided until the Secretary of Defense
provides the House and Senate Appropriations committees an
expenditure plan that includes numerous reporting requirements.
The Committee also directs the Department of Defense to provide
written notification to the Committees on Appropriations of the
House and Senate prior to obligating any contract or
combination of contracts in excess of $5,000,000.
The Committee directs the Program Executive Officer [PEO]
for DHMSM to provide quarterly reports to the congressional
defense committees and the Government Accountability Office on
the cost and schedule of the program, to include milestones,
knowledge points, and acquisition timelines, as well as
quarterly obligation reports. The Committee further directs the
PEO DHMSM to continue briefing the House and Senate Defense
Appropriations Subcommittees on a quarterly basis, coinciding
with the report submission.
Finally, the Committee directs the IPO to continue to
provide quarterly briefings to the House and Senate
Subcommittees on Appropriations for Defense and Military
Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies regarding
standards development, how those standards are being
incorporated by both DOD and VA, and the progress of
interoperability between the two Departments. In an effort to
ensure Government-wide accountability, the Committee also
directs the DOD in coordination with the VA to provide the
Federal Chief Information Officer of the United States with
monthly updates on progress made by the two Departments to
reach interoperability and modernize their respective
electronic health records.
Integrated Disability Evaluation System.--The Secretary of
Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of Veterans
Affairs, shall develop a plan to improve the sharing of
information necessary to predict and address surges in workload
within the Integrated Disability Evaluation System. Further,
the Departments shall integrate information technology systems
to ensure an end-to-end information technology solution is in
place for both the transfer and management of Integrated
Disability Evaluation system cases between the military
services and Department of Veterans Affairs no later than
December 31, 2014.
Traumatic Brain Injury [TBI]/Psychological Health.--The
Committee recommends $60,000,000 above the fiscal year 2015
budget request for continued research into treatment and
prevention of traumatic brain injuries and improved
psychological health. The Committee directs the Assistant
Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to submit a report to the
congressional defense committees within 180 days of enactment
of this act on expenditure and obligation data of additional
funding added by Congress for psychological health and
traumatic brain injury. This report should include information
on agreements made with other government agencies.
Additionally, the Committee is aware of recent medical advances
in drug development for neurodegenerative diseases and
encourages the Department to further its research into
developing drugs that reverse, halt, or slow the
neurodegenerative process associated with traumatic brain
injury.
Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program.--The Committee
recommends $247,500,000 for the Peer Reviewed Medical Research
Program. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in
conjunction with the Service Surgeons General, to select
medical research projects of clear scientific merit and direct
relevance to military health. Research areas considered under
this funding are restricted to: acute lung injury, advanced
prosthetics, alcohol and substance abuse, amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis, arthritis, autism, chronic migraine and post-
traumatic headache, congenital heart disease, Dengue, diabetes,
DNA vaccine technology for postexposure prophylaxis, duchenne
muscular dystrophy, dystonia, food allergies, Fragile X
syndrome, gulf war illness, healthcare-acquired infection
reduction, hepatitis B, hereditary angioedema, hydrocephalus,
inflammatory bowel disease, integrative medicine, interstitial
cystitis, lupus, malaria, metals toxicology, mitochondrial
disease, multiple sclerosis, nanomaterials for bone
regeneration, neurofibromatosis, orthopedics, osteoarthritis,
pancreatitis, Parkinson's, pathogen-inactivated dried plasma,
polycystic kidney disease, post-traumatic osteoarthritis,
psychotropic medications, pulmonary fibrosis, reconstructive
transplantation, respiratory health, rheumatoid arthritis,
scleroderma, sleep disorders, spinal cord injury, tinnitus,
tuberous sclerosis complex, vascular malformations, vision, and
women's heart disease. The Committee emphasizes that the
additional funding provided under the Peer Reviewed Medical
Research Program shall be devoted only to the purposes listed
above.
The Committee remains supportive of the medical research
being conducted by the Department that yields medical
breakthroughs for servicemembers and often translates to the
civilian population, as well. The Committee directs the
Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to provide a
report to the congressional defense committees within 180 days
of enactment of this act on the breakdown of funding in the
Congressionally Directed Medical Research program between basic
and advanced research.
Joint Warfighter Medical Research Program.--The Committee
recommends $50,000,000 for the Joint Warfighter Medical
Research Program. Funds shall be used to augment and accelerate
high priority Department of Defense and Service medical
requirements and to continue prior year initiatives that are
close to achieving their objectives and yielding a benefit to
military medicine. These funds shall not be used for new
projects or basic research, and they shall be awarded at the
discretion of the Secretary of Defense following a review of
medical research and development gaps, as well as unfinanced
medical requirements of the services. Further, the Committee
directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to
provide a report not later than 180 days after the enactment of
this act to the congressional defense committees, which lists
the projects that receive funding. The report should include
the funding amount awarded to each project, a thorough
description of each project's research, and the benefit the
research will provide to the Department of Defense.
Peer-Reviewed Cancer Research Programs.--The Committee
recommends $120,000,000 for the peer-reviewed breast cancer
research program, $64,000,000 for the peer-reviewed prostate
cancer research program, $10,000,000 for the peer-reviewed
ovarian cancer research program, and $50,000,000 for the peer-
reviewed cancer research program that would research cancers
not addressed in the aforementioned programs currently executed
by the Department of Defense.
The funds provided in the peer-reviewed cancer research
program are directed to be used to conduct research in the
following areas: colorectal cancer, kidney cancer, liver
cancer, melanoma, mesothelioma, myeloproliferative disorders,
neuroblastoma, pancreatic cancer, and stomach cancer.
The funds provided under the peer-reviewed cancer research
program shall be used only for the purposes listed above. The
Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health
Affairs) to provide a report not later than 180 days after the
enactment of this act to the congressional defense committees
on the status of the peer-reviewed cancer research program. For
each research area, the report should include the funding
amount awarded, the progress of the research, and the relevance
of the research to servicemembers.
Orthotics and Prosthetics Outcomes Research.--The Committee
provides $10,000,000 in support of orthotics and prosthetics
outcomes research and directs the Assistant Secretary of
Defense (Health Affairs) to provide a report not later than 180
days after the enactment of this act to the congressional
defense committees on the peer-reviewed projects that receive
funding. The report should include the funding amount awarded
to each project and the anticipated effect on patient care.
Collaboration on Medical Research.--The Committee notes
that the Department of Defense [DOD] coordinates with several
other Federal agencies, especially the National Institutes of
Health [NIH], through its peer-review process for medical
research. NIH currently uses the Research Portfolio Online
Reporting Tools [RePORTER] to consolidate reports, data, and
analyses of NIH research activities, including information on
expenditures and the results of supported research. The
Committee understands that DOD signed a memorandum of agreement
in February 2014, to initiate a pilot program to begin sharing
DOD research data into RePORTER. The Committee is supportive of
this collaboration and directs the Assistant Secretary of
Defense for Health Affairs to provide the Committee a report on
the status of this pilot program not later than 90 days after
enactment of this act. The report should include a full
description of the pilot program, a timeline of its
implementation, and any impediments for the Department in
uploading all of its research information into the database.
Additionally, DOD and NIH worked together to create the
Federal Interagency Traumatic Brain Injury Research [FITBIR]
system, a centralized database for traumatic brain injury [TBI]
research. FITBIR serves as a central repository for new data,
links to current databases, and allows valid comparison of
results across studies. The Committee supports this type of
collaboration and believes it is a crucial step in addressing
the critical gaps in knowledge regarding the diagnosis and
treatment of TBI. The Committee encourages continued
collaboration between DOD and NIH in order to avoid duplication
of effort and maximize Government investments in medical
research.
In order to build on this collaboration, the Committee
directs the Department to contract with the Institute of
Medicine [IOM] to evaluate the Congressionally Directed Medical
Research Program [CDMRP] and provide a report to the
congressional defense committees not later than 12 months after
enactment of this act. The report should include an evaluation
of the CDMRP two-tiered peer review process, its coordination
of research priorities with NIH, and recommendations for how
the process can be improved. The Committee notes that the peer
review system used in the CDMRP is the recommendation of a 1993
IOM report and was modeled after the NIH system. The inclusion
of patient advocates in the CDMRP peer review has been a highly
regarded addition to the process, and the Committee believes
that these voices provide a valuable contribution.
Mental Health Professionals.--The Committee recognizes that
servicemembers and their families face unique stresses beyond
those of everyday life. After over a decade of war, the need
for mental health professionals in the Department is at an all-
time high, and the Committee believes that every beneficiary of
the Military Health System should have timely access to mental
health services. However, the Committee is concerned with the
Department's inability to recruit and retain enough
psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurse
practitioners, and registered nurses to provide adequate mental
healthcare. The Committee has asked the Government
Accountability Office to review this issue including the
Departments' current inventory of mental health providers,
current and future needs for providers, challenges the
Department faces in recruitment and retention, actions taken to
mitigate these challenges, and recommendations going forward to
ensure an adequate inventory of mental health professionals
within the Military Health System. The Committee looks forward
to the receiving the results of this review and working with
the Department to provide the tools necessary to implement any
recommendations.
Brain Tissue Repository.--The Committee applauds the
Department's recent efforts in advancing the study and
treatment of traumatic brain injury [TBI] in servicemembers by
partnering with the National Institutes of Health to create the
world's first human brain tissue repository for military
personnel at the Uniformed Services University of the Health
Sciences. Its researchers need access to post-mortem tissues
from servicemembers affected by blast injury, but there are
currently significant hurdles to gaining access to these
invaluable resources. The Committee directs the Assistant
Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to provide a report
outlining strategies for overcoming roadblocks to post-mortem
brain donation in the military, including consent issues, that
are preventing access to needed resources not later than 180
days after enactment of this act. The Committee maintains that
respect and care for the deceased and their families is of
utmost consideration moving forward and believes that
thoughtful and effective strategies for increasing post-mortem
donation will be key in developing potential interventions,
treatments, and cures for this devastating condition.
Global Health.--The Committee recognizes the critical
contribution that the Department's research and development
[R&D] portfolio makes in protecting our troops from infectious
and neglected diseases they may encounter on missions around
the world. The Committee also recognizes the need to sustain
and support U.S. investment in this area by fully funding those
R&D programs that carry out this work within the Defense Health
Program; Department of the Army and Department of the Navy
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation [RDT&E]; and RDT&E,
Defense-Wide budgets.
The Committee directs each program within the Department of
Defense currently involved in infectious disease related
research to submit a report on its R&D activities to the
congressional defense committees outlining the program's
funding and accomplishments from fiscal years 2011 through
2014. The report should also include each program's goals
moving forward and funding needs across the Future Years
Defense Program.
Additionally, the Committee recognizes that the
Department's global health engagements support combatant
commanders' efforts to build the capacity of partner nations,
manage and respond to local health challenges, and promote
regional stability by increasing access to basic health
services. The Committee encourages the Assistant Secretary of
Defense (Health Affairs), in collaboration with the Uniformed
Services University of Health Sciences, to establish a learning
tool to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of global
health engagements in meeting national security goals. The
Committee further encourages the Department to fund this modest
investment from within appropriated funds in order to better
inform future investments in global health engagements.
Healthy Base Initiative.--The Committee is encouraged by
the Department's development of the Healthy Base Initiative
[HBI], which holds the promise of substantially shifting
behavior and practice to improve the wellness and resilience of
the Nation's military, their families, and the communities that
support them. The Committee is particularly supportive and
encouraged that, to date, the program has included bases
representing each service, as well as the Guard and Reserve.
The Committee encourages the Department to commit internal
structures and processes to ensure the program's permanence.
The Committee recommends that the Department: (1) issue
necessary instructions or directions to ensure HBl's
sustainability, including the training of DOD leadership at all
levels about HBI; (2) expand HBI's scope beyond tobacco use
cessation and obesity to better align with a broader whole
systems approach, such as Total Force Fitness; (3) develop a
multi-stakeholder working group, including strong public-
private partnerships that engage surrounding communities and
leaders, to support the design and execution of an expanded
HBI; (4) identify and implement appropriate program metrics to
measure impact on health as described in Total Force Fitness;
and (5) establish a single, fully accountable, vested DOD
official in charge of HBI within the Office of Military
Community and Family Policy of the Under Secretary of Defense
(Personnel & Readiness).
The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 included
$3,000,000 to expand HBI, and the Committee looks forward to
reviewing the progress report on the status of the program due
in July 2014. The Committee recommends $3,000,000 in Operation
and Maintenance, Defense-Wide for the continuation and
expansion of HBI.
Reconstructive Transplantation.--The Committee understands
that the Department's continued research into reconstructive
transplantation will allow surgeons to refine techniques for
hand, face, and other vascularized composite tissue allografts
such as the transplants of skin, muscle, tendon, nerves, bone,
and blood vessels. This work has immediate and transformative
implications for wounded warriors and civilian patients alike,
allowing those with debilitating, disfiguring and disabling
injuries to regain their independence. The Committee includes
reconstructive transplant as eligible to compete for funds in
the Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program and supports this
important research to improve access to reconstructive
transplants and state-of-the-art immunotherapy.
Prescription Effectiveness of Psychotropic Medications.--
The Committee supports the Department's efforts to treat
patients diagnosed with behavioral health disorders and
believes that recent efforts to use database-supported methods
in order to increase the accuracy and effectiveness of
prescription practices for mental health medications may not
only achieve cost savings but also improve patient care. The
Committee understands that this research is currently taking
place at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and Fort
Belvoir Community Hospital and encourages its expansion to
additional sites as preliminary findings have shown promising
results.
Trauma Research Clinical Trials Network.--The Committee
recognizes that trauma-related deaths impact our military
services as well as the general civilian population, and the
life-saving impact of trauma clinical research can be seen on
the battlefield and in civilian trauma response. The Committee
believes the Department of Defense should maintain the momentum
on advances in trauma care and build on the success achieved by
the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine [AFIRM] and
the recent consortiums on Traumatic Brain Injury [TBI] and
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder [PTSD], which combine efforts
across the Federal Government. The Committee encourages the
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs and the
Director of the Defense Health Agency to work with other
Federal agencies focused on trauma research to establish a task
force to create a Trauma Research Clinical Trials Network and
Repository.
Military Integrative Medicine.--The Committee recognizes
that chronic pain disorders are increasingly prevalent among
servicemembers and that the Department has established a
Clinical and Rehabilitative Medicine Research Program to focus
research on alternatives to opioid analgesics for pain
management. Further, the Committee supports the growing focus
on integrated and patient-centered practices and models of care
within the Military Health System. The Department's Pain Task
Force has highlighted the challenges of pain management for
today's servicemembers and their families, the problem of
overmedication, and the necessity to evaluate and implement
non-pharmaceutical pain management approaches. Several recently
published systematic reviews and expert roundtables show the
promise of active self-care, complementary, and integrative
practices as varied as meditation, tai chi, yoga, and
acupuncture for the management of chronic pain.
The Committee strongly encourages the Department to create
a systematic, centralized approach to evaluating the
implementation of integrative medicine by working with
organizations that conduct research in these areas and have
relevant subject matter expertise and significant military
experience. The evaluation should measure and analyze the cost
effectiveness of integrative medicine approaches and establish
timely and articulate channels to disseminate the findings
throughout the Military Health System. The Committee believes
that such an evaluation of integrative medicine approaches will
show which practices are most effective and efficient and allow
the Department to confidently expand their implementation.
Hydrocephalus Research.--The Committee is concerned that of
the estimated 294,000 servicemembers who have sustained a
traumatic brain injury [TBI] in Operations Enduring Freedom and
Iraqi Freedom, over 30,000 are expected to develop
hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus, an increased accumulation of
fluid in the brain, often has a delayed onset and can easily be
misdiagnosed as dementia or other aging related diseases. Given
that there is currently no cure for hydrocephalus and current
treatment options are limited and have high failure rates, the
Committee encourages the Department to increase its investments
in hydrocephalus research.
Warfighter Respiratory Health.--The Committee understands
that respiratory diseases affect more than 100,000
servicemembers each year and is concerned about respiratory
ailments among deployed and returning servicemembers. Beyond
the decreased quality of life for affected servicemembers,
respiratory diseases result in almost 27,000 lost workdays per
year. The Committee encourages the Department to provide
adequate resources for research on respiratory health.
Epilepsy Research.--The Committee is concerned about the
large number of service men and women returning from the
Persian Gulf Wars and Afghanistan who have sustained traumatic
brain injuries [TBI] and the long term consequences of TBI.
These wounded warriors are at high risk for developing
posttraumatic epilepsy, depression, cognitive difficulties, and
posttraumatic stress disorder, which may be interconnected. As
current TBI longitudinal studies have not included epilepsy,
the Committee encourages the Department to place greater
priority and invest more funding in longitudinal
epidemiological research, including epilepsy surveillance, to
better understand the magnitude of the problem and improve
patient care and outcomes. To assist in these efforts, the
Committee provides $7,500,000 in support of epilepsy research.
Additionally, the Committee urges the Department to expand
research into the mechanisms by which brain injury produces
epilepsy and research directed at the prevention of epilepsy
and concomitant comorbidities in those known to be at high
risk.
Melanoma Research.--The Committee understands that melanoma
diagnoses are increasing among active duty servicemembers and
that melanoma is the fifth most common cancer among veterans.
Recent research suggests that exposure to high levels of solar
radiation in young adulthood is associated with a higher risk
of melanoma mortality. Given the extreme and harsh conditions
servicemembers face in theater and the rise of this aggressive
and frequently deadly form of cancer, the Committee encourages
the Department to continue its investments in melanoma
research.
Sleep Disorder Research.--The Committee recognizes that
sleep disorders are increasingly prevalent among servicemembers
and that such disruptions have been associated with diverse
mental and physical disorders, including traumatic brain injury
and post-traumatic stress. The Committee applauds the Army for
acknowledging the importance of sleep in achieving optimal
physical, mental, and emotional health and including sleep as a
focus in the Performance Triad.
In support of this effort, the Committee urges the
Department to support basic, translational, and clinical
research on how the disruption of normal sleep and circadian
biological rhythms adversely affects the health, safety,
performance and productivity of our military and civilian
populations.
Obesity Treatment Options.--The Committee recognizes that
obesity is an underlying cause of several chronic conditions
such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and certain
cancers including breast and colon cancer. While the Department
has taken some steps to address obesity, it does not currently
provide comprehensive access to a full complement of medical
treatments for obesity. The Committee encourages the Department
to meet with experts in the field of obesity, such as the
Obesity Action Coalition, the American Medical Association, and
the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists, to
better understand the science and current medical treatments
for obese or overweight patients.
Military Medical Photonics.--Military Medical Photonics
research improves battlefield patient care using photomedicine
technologies and exemplifies how mission-oriented research can
benefit both military and civilian populations. Recent
breakthroughs in this research include advances in the removal
of kidney stones, diagnosis and treatment of major eye
diseases, normalization of severe scarring from war wounds, and
rapid imaging of coronary artery disease. The Committee
understands that the budget for Military Medical Photonics
research decreased significantly from $6,238,000 in fiscal year
2014 to $2,087,000 in the fiscal year 2015 budget request. The
Committee encourages the Department to fund this important
research at historical levels in future budgets.
DNA Vaccine Technology for Post-Exposure Prophylaxis.--The
Committee is concerned that the Army has not emphasized the
production of polyclonal antibodies as part of its DNA vaccine
technology research. The Committee continues to encourage the
Army to conduct research that focuses on producing polyclonal
antibodies in anseriformes through DNA vaccines.
Medical Defense Against Infectious Disease.--The Committee
recognizes the importance of medical countermeasures to
naturally occurring infectious diseases, such as malaria,
Dengue, and Chikungunya viruses. These pose a significant
threat to the strategic access and operational effectiveness of
forces deployed outside the United States. The Committee is
concerned with the Department's decisions over recent years to
precipitously decrease funding for malaria research and
encourages the Department to address diseases of military
importance and invest in research for chemoprophylaxis,
surveillance, novel approaches to vaccine development, and
other countermeasures. Finally, the Committee urges the
Department to partner with colleges and universities that have
strong research programs in infectious diseases, as well as
other Federal agencies, foreign governments, international
agencies, and non-profit organizations to mitigate duplication
of effort and maximize the use of Department resources.
Biomarkers for Toxic Exposures.--The Committee recognizes
that hazardous exposures cost the Departments of Defense and
Veterans Affairs billions of dollars annually in medical care,
reduce servicemember performance, and create a multitude of
health compensation claims. Identifying biomarkers for toxic or
psychologically traumatic exposures could allow for faster
diagnosis and treatment of a number of exposure-related
conditions among military and veteran populations. The
Committee supports research efforts that capitalize on recent
advances in chemical surveillance and systems biology including
proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics.
Access to Military Treatment Facilities.--The Committee is
aware of unobligated balances from funds appropriated in
section 8110 of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act
for Fiscal Year 2011. The Committee believes that these
unobligated balances should be utilized for the purposes for
which they were originally appropriated. Accordingly, the
Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report
to the congressional defense committees not later than 60 days
after the enactment of this act on any remaining balances from
funds appropriated in section 8110 of the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2011. The report shall include the amount
of remaining balances and an execution plan for these funds
that will improve access to the Department's military treatment
facilities.
Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs.--The Committee
encourages the Department to implement antimicrobial
stewardship programs at all its medical facilities and develop
consistent ways to collect and analyze data on antibiotic
usage, healthcare outcomes (such as Clostridium difficile
infections), and antimicrobial resistance trends in order to
evaluate how well these programs are improving patient care and
reducing inappropriate antibiotic use. The Committee also
encourages the Department to provide antibiotic usage and
antimicrobial resistance data to the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention's National Healthcare Safety Network.

recommended adjustments to the budget estimate:

National Guard Counter-Drug Program.--The Committee remains
concerned that the Department continues to reduce funding for
the National Guard Counter-Drug program, and disagrees with the
fiscal year 2015 President's budget request to eliminate
funding for operation of the Counter-Drug Schools program. The
counter-drug schools' mission of providing combatant commands,
law enforcement agencies, community-based organizations and
military personnel with training to support and enhance their
capabilities to detect, interdict, disrupt and curtail drug
trafficking is an important component of our overall effort to
reduce drug crimes and protect national security. To ensure
this training remains available, the Committee provides
$216,700,000 to the National Guard Counter-Drug program and
directs the National Guard Bureau to continue operation of the
existing counter-drug schools to achieve their full mission.

OVERVIEW

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $58,255,711,000 of additional
appropriations for overseas contingency operations in fiscal
year 2015. This funding will ensure that resources, equipment,
and supplies are available for our servicemembers without
interruption, and will enable the Department to avoid absorbing
operational costs from within baseline programs that are
critical to future readiness and home-station activities.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

The Committee directs that the Department of Defense
continue to report incremental contingency operations costs for
Operation Enduring Freedom on a monthly basis in the Cost of
War Execution report as required by Department of Defense
Financial Management Regulation, chapter 23, volume 12. The
Committee further directs the Department to continue providing
the Cost of War reports to the congressional defense committees
that include the following information by appropriation:
funding appropriated, funding allocated, monthly obligations,
monthly disbursements, cumulative fiscal year obligations, and
cumulative fiscal year disbursements.
The Committee expects that in order to meet unanticipated
requirements, the Department of Defense may need to transfer
funds within these appropriations accounts for purposes other
than those specified in this report. The Committee directs the
Department of Defense to follow normal prior approval
reprogramming procedures should it be necessary to transfer
funding between different appropriations accounts in this
title.

COUNTERTERRORISM PARTNERSHIPS FUND

The Overseas Contingency Operations budget request includes
$4,000,000,000 for the Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund
[CTPF] in the Department of Defense. An additional
$1,000,000,000 was requested for the Department of State in a
similar fund. The intent of the CTPF is to supplement ongoing
counterterrorism and crisis response activities by the United
States, and to accelerate cooperation with key partner nations.
The Committee supports increased engagement with partner
nations to address emerging threats. The United States Armed
Forces cannot be expected to respond unilaterally to an
increasing number of complex terrorist threats in the Middle
East, North Africa, the Sahel, the Horn of Africa, and other
regions. The United States must have effective partners which
can take responsibility for new security threats, and
additional engagement with those nations can enhance those
capabilities.
However, the Committee is concerned with several aspects of
the proposal. In particular, the Committee does not support
broad exemptions from current laws that could result in the
training of foreign security services that would otherwise be
ineligible for such assistance. The Committee similarly does
not support waiving the statutory caps on the amount of funds
that may be used for cooperative counterterrorism activities.
Additionally, the Committee has not been satisfied that there
is a sufficiently specific plan in place to execute
$4,000,000,000 over the next 3 years for the requested
activities. Finally, additional policy questions should be
raised as to whether the Department of Defense or the
Department of State should be in the lead over the long term
for training and equipping foreign security forces.
Therefore, the Committee recommendation includes
$1,900,000,000 for the CTPF, available for 2 years, with
narrower authorities than those proposed in the request. These
narrower authorities require that funds may be transferred only
to certain appropriations which are actually related to
counterterrorism missions and that human rights vetting must
occur for any train and equip program for foreign security
services. The Committee does not include a waiver for the
authorized caps contained in the National Defense Authorization
Act section 1206 and section 1208 training and support
activities; instead the Committee authorizes an increase in the
caps when CTPF funds are transferred for use in those programs.
The recommendation allows for up to $700,000,000 in 1206 train
and equip programs in any fiscal year, and up to $80,000,000 in
1208 counterterrorism support programs in any fiscal year.
In addition, the Committee recommendation includes
$1,000,000,000 in additional funds for Operation and
Maintenance, Defense-wide, which may be used in fiscal year
2015 for additional counterterrorism partnership activities
under existing authorities and budgeting mechanisms. Providing
additional funds for counterterrorism activities within
existing accounts will increase accountability and oversight.

SYRIA TRAIN AND EQUIP AUTHORITY

The Committee is gravely concerned about the continuing
civil war in Syria, including the serious humanitarian toll and
the expanding counterterrorism crisis caused by the brutal
actions of the illegitimate Assad regime. The Overseas
Contingency Operations request includes a proposal to authorize
the Department of Defense to engage in atrain and equip mission
for vetted, moderate elements of the Syrian opposition.
The Committee supports increased action by the United
States and its regional partners to contain the crisis in Syria
and hasten a negotiated settlement to end the conflict. The
Committee also notes that S. 2410, the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, as reported, contains a
similar authorization for the Department of Defense to supply
equipment, supplies, training, and defense services to vetted
elements of the Syrian opposition.
The recommendation includes a provision which authorizes
these activities through September 30, 2015, or until enactment
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015.
The provision requires that the Department of Defense conduct
vetting of candidates for assistance from the Department of
Defense, including for associations with terrorist groups and
for commitments to a peaceful and democratic Syria under
civilian rule.
To remove any ambiguity on the role of the United States
Armed Forces in supporting moderate elements of the Syrian
opposition, the provision states that it does not authorize the
use of the Armed Forces for combat operations covered by the
War Powers Resolution.
Finally, the authorization allows for the use of up to
$500,000,000 from Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide, to
carry out these activities. As noted above, the recommendation
includes a $1,000,000,000 increase to this account for
counterterrorism activities. The Committee strongly urges the
Department of Defense to include funding for support to the
Syrian opposition through normal budgeting processes in future
requests, in order to maximize transparency and accountability
in this sensitive, but critical, initiative.

BALTIC STATES

The Committee is deeply concerned about the threat Russia's
recent aggression poses to Baltic States and supports programs
that provide training and assistance to bolster the abilities
of these nations to defend against possible future
provocations. The Committee supports Department of Defense
efforts to maintain U.S. military personnel rotations in these
countries along with NATO's Baltic Air Policing program. To
that end, the Committee recommends not less than $30,000,000
from the European Reassurance Initiative be made available for
the countries of Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia.

OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS FUNDING MIGRATION

The Committee notes that there is not yet an understanding
of enduring activities funded by the Overseas Contingency
Operations [OCO] budget or a clear path forward in migrating
enduring requirement resources to the base budget. The
Committee is concerned about the potential for large portions
of enduring activities, training, sustainment, and other
military requirements being funded through the OCO budget. The
Committee believes the Department of Defense would be accepting
high levels of risk in continuing to fund non-contingency
related activities through the OCO budget. Therefore, the
Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report
showing transfers of OCO funding to the base budget, at the
program, project and activity level, for fiscal year 2016. This
report shall be submitted to the congressional defense
committees at the time of the President's budget submission for
fiscal year 2016.

MILITARY PERSONNEL

The Committee recommends a total of $5,424,983,000 for pay,
allowances, and other personnel costs for Active, Reserve, and
Guard troops activated for duty in Afghanistan and other
contingency operations. This recommendation includes funding
for subsistence, permanent change of station travel, and
special pays including imminent danger pay, family separation
allowance, and hardship duty pay.

Program [CERP] in Afghanistan in fiscal year 2015. The
Committee directs the Army to submit monthly commitment,
obligation, and expenditure data for CERP to the congressional
defense committees no later than 30 days after each month.
The Committee includes language in section 9005 that

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED PROGRAM

The following table details the program recommended by the
Committee:

National Guard and Reserve Reintegration Programs.--The
Committee believes that National Guard and Reserve
reintegration programs, like the Yellow Ribbon Reintegration
Program [YRRP] and the Beyond Yellow Ribbon program, continue
to provide value to service members and their families. Since
2008, more than 1.3 million National Guard members and
reservists and their families have benefited from the Yellow
Ribbon Reintegration Program. Information and counseling
provided during YRRP events help mitigate the unique challenges
associated with repeated transitions between military and
civilian life, particularly for service members returning to
rural areas far removed from traditional military support
networks. In addition, State programs supported through the
Beyond Yellow Ribbon program provide community-based outreach
services that coordinate State and local resources into a
single, comprehensive network of support throughout the
deployment cycle.
Given the proven track record of these programs in
addressing many of the reintegration challenges facing Guard
and reservists, particularly the vital mission of suicide
prevention, the Committee believes the YRRP and Beyond Yellow
Ribbon program have enduring value and encourages the
Department to ensure their continued viability by transitioning
each to its base budget request.

Committee:

Recruiting and Retention of Women in Afghanistan National
Security Forces.--Of the funds provided for the Afghanistan
Security Forces Fund, the Committee directs that $25,000,000 be
directed toward the recruitment and retention of women in the
Afghan security forces. The funds should be focused on, but not
limited to, providing appropriate equipment for female security
and police forces, modification of facilities to allow for
female participation within the security and police forces'
training to include literacy training for women recruits, and
gender awareness training for male counterparts and recruitment
of women to support the 2015 parliamentary elections. The
Committee directs the Department of Defense to provide periodic
updates to the congressional defense committees on the efforts
to increase women participation in the Afghan security forces.
Afghan Pilot Training.--The Secretary of the Air Force has
recommended the training of Afghan Air Force pilots and
maintenance personnel on the A-29 Light Air Support [LAS]
aircraft within the United States. The Committee is concerned
about the aggressive training timeline planned by the Air Force
and whether trainees will be able to operate and maintain U.S.
provided aircraft in Afghanistan without coalition support and
protection. The Committee also has questions about the rigor of
planned threat vetting and screening before pilot trainees
arrive in the United States. Therefore, the Committee directs
the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a report to the
defense committees, no later than 60 days prior to the start of
pilot training, outlining the plan to train Afghan LAS pilots,
including pilot background checks, threat vetting, and
screening planned prior to the arrival of pilots in the United
States and any other planned safeguards. The report shall also
include the timeline for aircraft delivery to Afghanistan and
the plan to enable the Afghans to successfully operate and
maintain the aircraft at a permanent base in Afghanistan.

augment and upgrade equipment for deploying units, sustain
munitions and other war consumables, and reset the units
returning home to an equipment-ready status. Funding
adjustments have been made in instances where the requirement

High-Priority Items.--The Committee directs that the
National Guard and Reserve Equipment account shall be executed
by the Chiefs of the National Guard and Reserve components with
priority consideration given to the following items: C-130
Propulsion Upgrades; C-130 and KC-135 Secure Line-of-Sight/
Beyond Line-of-Sight [SLOS/BLOS] Data Link and Situational
Awareness Cockpit Displays; Chemical and Biological Protective

Small Arms Simulation Training Systems; TACSAT Radios; Tactical
Communications Equipment for MQ-9s; Tactical Trucks; Ultra-

Systems.
National Guard and Reserve Equipment Report.--The Committee
utilizes the annual National Guard and Reserve Equipment Report
[NGRER] as a valuable repository for information on equipment
requirements, inventories, and shortages for the Guard and
Reserve components. In the fiscal year 2015 NGRER, the Army
changed the way in which it calculated its equipment shortages
to include modernized substitutes, and therefore the Army's
equipment shortage data was not included in the Report. The
Committee notes that this is a break from past reports and that
this change in calculation detracts from the usefulness of the
Report. The Committee directs the Army to provide data
excluding modernized substitutes in future NGRERs.
Simulation Training Systems.--The Committee acknowledges
that simulation training is a cost-effective means by which
military units can improve tactical decisionmaking skills and
readiness. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense
to use a portion of National Guard and Reserve Equipment
account funding to continue the procurement of simulation
training systems and to seek the appropriate combination of
Government-owned and operated simulators as well as contractor
support in order to maximize efficiency and effectiveness.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $444,463,000.
This is $65,463,000 above the budget estimate.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED PROGRAM

The following table details the program recommended by the
Committee:

Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization
[JIEDDO].--The fiscal year 2015 President's budget request
includes $115,058,000 in base funding and an additional
$379,000,000 in title IX Oversees Contingency Operations [OCO]
funding. However, the Committee denies this request in base and
transfers $65,463,000 to title IX, as these requirements are
war-related and should be funded through OCO funding. In all,
the recommendation provides $444,463,000 for JIEDDO.
The Committee recently received an interim report stating
that the Department of Defense is transitioning JIEDDO's roles
and missions from its current focus on counter-improvised
explosive devices [C-IED] to a much broader mission. The
reports states the new mission ``includes an ability to prepare
for and react to battlefield surprise in counterterrorism,
counter-insurgency, and other related mission areas beyond C-
IED but with a significantly smaller footprint.'' The final
report with the detailed concept of operations will be
finalized in September 2014. The Committee believes that the
proposed change in roles and missions has not been justified,
in part because there are already organizations that exist to
conduct those missions.
In addition, the Committee strongly believes that the
request to establish a new organization runs counter to the
letter and intent of section 8037 of Public Law 113-76, the
Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2014, which prohibits
the establishment of a new field operating agency. The
Committee notes that this legislative provision has been
carried annually for several years, and the Committee
recommendation continues that provision.

European Reassurance Initiative Military Construction
Proposal.--The funding request for the European Reassurance
Initiative [ERI] included a provision allowing the use of up to
$175,000,000 for unspecified military construction projects
associated with the initiative. The ERI is funded through
Department of Defense Operation and Maintenance [O&M] accounts.
The Committee believes that military construction projects
should be identified and funded within the appropriate Military
Construction account, not with O&M funding over which the
Military Construction and Veterans Affairs subcommittee has no
visibility or oversight. Therefore, the Committee
recommendation does not include a provision allowing the use of
ERI funding for military construction. The Department is
encouraged to work with the Committee to provide project-level
detail, justification, and Military Construction funding
requirements for any projects required to support the ERI.

COMPLIANCE WITH PARAGRAPH 7, RULE XVI OF THE STANDING RULES OF THE
SENATE

Paragraph 7 of rule XVI requires that Committee reports on
general appropriations bills identify each Committee amendment
to the House bill ``which proposes an item of appropriation
which is not made to carry out the provisions of an existing
law, a treaty stipulation, or an act or resolution previously
passed by the Senate during that session.''
The Committee recommends funding for the following accounts
which currently lack authorization for fiscal year 2015:
