BACKGROUND

Purpose of the Bill

This bill makes appropriations for the military functions
of the Department of Defense for the period October 1, 2016,
through September 30, 2017. 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 February 10, 2016, and concluded them on April 27, 2016,
after nine separate sessions. The subcommittee heard testimony
from representatives of the Department of Defense.

Summary of the Bill

The Committee recommendation of $568,101,051,000 includes
funding to develop, maintain, and equip the military forces of
the United States and for other purposes in nonemergency
appropriations.
The fiscal year 2017 budget request for activities funded
in the Department of Defense appropriations bill totals
$569,858,382,000 in new budget authority, including
$58,625,551,000 in contingency funding for the Department of
Defense and $514,000,000 in mandatory spending.
In fiscal year 2016, the Congress appropriated
$566,616,000,000 for activities funded in this bill. This
amount includes $507,978,000,000 in base appropriations and
$58,638,000,000 in Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War
on Terrorism 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 $1,485,051,000
above the amount provided in fiscal year 2016 and
$1,757,331,000 below the amount requested for fiscal year 2017.

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. 2943, the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017, 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

For the purposes of the Balanced Budget and Emergency
Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-177), as amended by
the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Reaffirmation
Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-119), and by the Budget Enforcement
Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-508), the terms ``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,
2017, the related classified annexes and Committee reports, and
P-1 and R-1 budget justification documents as subsequently
modified by congressional action.
The following exception to the above definition shall
apply: the military personnel and the operation and maintenance
accounts, for which the term ``program, project, and activity''
is defined as the appropriations accounts contained in the
Department of Defense Appropriations Act.
At the time the President submits the budget request for
fiscal year 2018, the Secretary of Defense is directed to
transmit to the congressional defense committees budget
justification documents to be known as the ``M-1'' and ``O-1''
which shall identify, at the budget activity, activity group,
and sub-activity group level, the amounts requested by the
President to be appropriated to the Department of Defense for
military personnel and operation and maintenance in any budget
request, or amended budget request, for fiscal year 2018.

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
Department of Defense appropriations bill for fiscal year 2008
(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 for Fiscal Year 2008. The dollar threshold
for reprogramming funds shall remain at $10,000,000 for
military personnel; $15,000,000 for operation and maintenance;
$20,000,000 for procurement; and $10,000,000 for research,
development, test and evaluation.
Also, 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 for Fiscal Year 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 military personnel (M-1),
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 report.

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
for programs that the Committee believes are necessary to
improve the U.S. defense posture even though they have not been
included under the request formulated by the Department of
Defense.
For instance, the Committee's hearings with the military
services and the Department's leadership highlighted the risk
to maintaining the U.S. technological edge under sequester-
level budgets. Therefore, the Committee recommends increases to
sustain U.S. technological superiority such as fifth generation
aircraft, various shipbuilding programs, battlefield
intelligence programs, and space programs. In addition, the
Committee recommends funding to increase readiness, sustain
U.S. force structure and maintain our industrial base. Finally,
the Committee recommends increases in basic research,
alternative energy and science and technology funding, which
are the foundation for enhancing future technological
superiority. The Committee also recommends funding for programs
that are chronically underfunded, such as the Defense
Production Act and National Guard and Reserve equipment
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.

JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER [JSF]

Joint Strike Fighter [JSF] Production.--The fiscal year
2017 budget request includes 63 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, six
fewer than were provided in the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113). In comparison to
quantities planned in the fiscal year 2016 budget request, the
Air Force's fiscal year 2017 request includes five fewer
aircraft in fiscal year 2017 and 45 fewer aircraft from fiscal
years 2017 to 2021. The Committee is concerned that the current
programmed quantities will not support the fielding of F-35
squadrons, as initially planned. As a result, the Committee
recommends an additional $100,000,000 in advance procurement
for the F-35A and encourages the Air Force to revisit F-35A
procurement quantities in the fiscal year 2018 budget request.
The Committee notes that the Navy continues to delay
previously planned production increases of the F-35C carrier
variant and has budgeted for no more than four F-35C aircraft
since fiscal year 2014, even though prior budget requests
planned for more aircraft. The fiscal year 2017 budget request
again includes only four F-35Cs, two fewer than were provided
in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public
Law 114-113). The Committee notes that it is challenging to
efficiently manufacture a small number of F-35C aircraft on the
same production line as the F-35A and F-35B aircraft, given the
unique items associated with the carrier variant. Therefore,
the Committee encourages the Navy to maintain, at a minimum,
the current procurement plan in the fiscal year 2018 budget
request.
The Committee notes that the Marine Corps has maintained a
consistent funding profile for the F-35B variant over recent
years. To support the Marine Corps initial operational
capability and enable the transition from 4th generation
fighters, the Committee recommends additional funding for two
Marine Corps F-35B and two Marine Corps F-35C aircraft.
Finally, the Committee understands that the Joint Strike
Fighter Program Executive Officer is considering formally
requesting JSF block buy authority from the congressional
defense committees. The Committee notes that block buy
authority differs from multi-year procurement authority. The
Committee supports acquisition cost savings, however, there is
concern that the Department of Defense has not completed a
formal review of such a strategy. Therefore, the Committee
encourages the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition,
Technology, Logistics) to review a block buy strategy prior to
the submission of such a request to the congressional defense
committees.
Joint Strike Fighter Follow-on Modernization [JSF FoM].--
The fiscal year 2017 budget request includes $264,900,000 in
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy and Research,
Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force for Joint Strike
Fighter Follow-on Modernization, an increase of $173,900,000
above fiscal year 2016 enacted amounts. The Committee notes the
progress made by the JSF Program Executive Officer to define
initial requirements and refine the JSF FoM acquisition
strategy. However, the Committee further notes that cost
estimates for the first two JSF FoM sub-blocks exceed
$2,000,000,000, and that requirements and costs for the
subsequent two JSF FoM sub-blocks are yet to be determined. In
addition, the Committee notes that the JSF FoM acquisition
strategy, the test and evaluation master plan, the contracting
strategy, and the plan for management of infrastructure remain
to be approved. Finally, the Committee notes that of funds
requested for JSF FoM in fiscal year 2017, $158,900,000 is
planned for obligation after the first quarter of fiscal year
2018. Therefore, the Committee recommends $106,000,000 for JSF
FoM, an increase of $15,000,000 above fiscal year 2016 enacted
amounts, and the amount executable in fiscal year 2017. The JSF
Program Executive Officer is directed to provide to the
congressional defense committees, not later than the fiscal
year 2018 budget submission, the approved JSF FoM acquisition
strategy, and, for each JSF FoM sub-block, the systems
engineering plan, the test and evaluation master plan,
independent cost estimates, and an acquisition program
baseline.

ISRAELI MISSILE DEFENSE PROGRAMS

The fiscal year 2017 President's budget request includes
$145,835,000 for Israeli missile defense programs, and the
Committee has received a request from the Government of Israel
which recommends $454,900,000 above the budget request for
these programs. As previously stated in Senate Report 114-63,
Congress has repeatedly, with strong bipartisan support,
appropriated funds in excess of administration requests for
Israeli missile defense programs to accelerate development of
capabilities within a mutually agreed-upon U.S.-Israeli
framework. However, these increases have historically been on a
significantly smaller scale than the requests presented to the
Committee in recent years, and accelerated capabilities covered
by previously established cooperative development agreements.
The Committee notes that in the last three fiscal years,
Congress has appropriated more than $1,000,000,000 above the
President's budget request for Israeli missile defense programs
despite fiscal constraints imposed by the Budget Control Act.
However, the establishment of U.S.-Israeli co-production
agreements has yet to conclude, and funds appropriated in
fiscal year 2016 have yet to be released. The Committee is
aware of ongoing negotiations between the Government of the
United States and the Government of Israel regarding Israel's
future missile defense requirements and is hopeful that these
requirements will be fully addressed.
The Committee recommends an additional $454,900,000 for
Israeli missile defense programs, as requested by the
Government of Israel. The Committee directs that not more than
$90,000,000 may be obligated or expended for long lead items in
support of the David's Sling Weapons System, and not more than
$70,000,000 may be obligated or expended for long lead items in
support of the Arrow upper tier program until the Under
Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology and Logistics)
provides to the congressional defense committees the joint
U.S.--Israeli co-production agreements for each of these weapon
systems that define: Israeli requirements, detail joint
production plans, to include the transfer of technical data
packages, if applicable, establish all up round production and
delivery schedules, delineate U.S. and Israeli industry
workshares for co-production, describe the proposed use of U.S.
and Israeli funds based on a common cost model, and identify
Israeli contributions. In addition, the Director, Missile
Defense Agency is directed to certify to the congressional
defense committees, not later than the fiscal year 2018 budget
submission, that previously requested data has been provided to
the Missile Defense Agency by the Israeli Missile Defense
Organization.

SHIP MODERNIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUSTAINMENT FUND

The Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2013 (Public
Law 112-175) established the Ship Modernization, Operations and
Sustainment Fund [SMOSF] and provided full funding, as
identified by the Navy, for the succeeding two fiscal years to
man, operate, sustain, upgrade, equip, and modernize seven
cruisers and two dock landing ships. At the time, the Congress
was concerned with the Navy's proposal to prematurely retire
capable and relevant ships and supported a temporary bridge
fund for these ships until the Navy could budget for the
routine costs to operate and modernize them in subsequent
budgets. Congressional direction limited the $2,378,000,000
provided in fiscal year 2013 to only those ships or hull
numbers that the Navy proposed for premature retirement in the
budget submission. According to the Navy, their retirement
proposal was strictly driven by fiscal constraints. Despite the
additional funding and strong congressional direction, the Navy
failed to obligate within 2 years the majority of SMOSF
resources provided in Public Law 112-175.
With submission of the fiscal year 2015 budget request, the
Navy included a new proposal 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. The Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2015 (Public Law 113-235) rejected this
proposal and instead recommended a modified modernization plan
that was consistent the Navy's proposal to expand application
of unobligated SMOSF resources to four additional cruisers and
an additional dock landing ship. In addition, the fiscal year
2015 agreement included an increase of $540,000,000 in the
SMOSF to support this new direction. The Committee notes,
however, that the Navy continues to obligate funds at a slower
than expected rate.
The Navy's fiscal year 2017 budget submission, once again,
deviates from congressional direction and proposes to change
the modernization lay-up and phasing plan while continuing to
utilize SMOSF resources. Given that the Navy has repeatedly
ignored congressional direction over the past 4 years and
continues to make changes to how SMOSF resources are applied,
the Committee rescinds $1,317,300,000 from funds remaining
available for obligation in the SMOSF account. The Committee
recommends an increase of $183,000,000 in the Operation and
Maintenance, Navy account and $101,500,000 in the Other
Procurement, Navy account to support cruiser and dock landing
ship modernization efforts in fiscal year 2017. The Committee
expects the Navy to utilize these funds for their
congressionally directed purpose during fiscal year 2017 and to
fully fund for all manpower, readiness, and modernization
activities associated with cruiser and dock landing ships in
the traditional appropriations accounts with the fiscal year
2018 budget request.

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 2017 budget requests a total of
$128,902,332,000 for military personnel appropriations. This
request funds an Active component end strength of 1,281,900 and
a Reserve component end strength of 801,200.

SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION

The Committee recommends military personnel appropriations
totaling $127,976,516,000 for fiscal year 2017. This is
$925,816,000 below the budget estimate.

Reprogramming Guidance for Military Personnel Accounts

Military Personnel Special Interest Items

Items for which additional funds have been provided or have
been specifically reduced as shown in the project level tables
or in paragraphs using the phrase ``only for'' or ``only to''
in this report are congressional special interest items for the
purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414). Each of
these items must be carried on the DD Form 1414 at the stated
amount as specifically addressed in the Committee report. Below
Threshold Reprogrammings may not be used to either restore or
reduce funding from congressional special interest items as
identified on the DD Form 1414.

Military Personnel Overview

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 $880,050,000 from the fiscal year 2017
military personnel accounts.
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.
Remotely Piloted Aircraft Pilot Shortfall.--The Committee
is deeply concerned with the continuing shortage of Remotely
Piloted Aircraft [RPA] pilots. As a result of shortfalls in
incentivizing, training, and retaining RPA pilots, the fiscal
year 2017 budget request proposes contractors to fill in for
RPA operators. Contractors are not authorized to operate on
unmanned platforms in the same capacity as airmen, yet will be
paid more for their work. This solution is not sustainable due
to cost and the limits on missions performed by contractor
pilots. To avoid this less than optimal temporary solution and
improve retention, the Committee supports the use of critical
skill bonus payments in order to direct and incentivize talent
specifically for the RPA platform. The Committee believes skill
bonus payments are not meant to support parity among platforms
or services but to acknowledge the scarcity of an indispensable
skill. The critical need for RPA pilots will continue to be an
enduring requirement for the Air Force, and the Committee
directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide additional
solutions.

REPROGRAMMING GUIDANCE FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE ACCOUNTS

The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit
the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414) for each of the
fiscal year 2017 appropriation accounts not later than 60 days
after the enactment of this act. The Secretary of Defense is
prohibited from executing any reprogramming or transfer of
funds for any purpose other than originally appropriated until
the aforementioned report is submitted to the House and Senate
Appropriations Committees.
The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to use the
normal prior approval reprogramming procedures to transfer
funds in the services' operation and maintenance accounts
between O-1 budget activities in excess of $15,000,000. In
addition, the Secretary of Defense should follow prior approval
reprogramming procedures for transfers in excess of $15,000,000
out of the following budget sub-activities:
Army:
Maneuver units
Modular support brigades
Land forces operations support
Force readiness operations support
Land forces depot maintenance
Base operations support
Facilities Sustainment, Restoration, and
Modernization
Navy:
Aircraft depot maintenance
Ship depot maintenance

Other personnel support/recruiting and
advertising
With respect to Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide,
proposed transfers of funds to or from the levels specified for
defense agencies in excess of $15,000,000 shall be subject to
prior approval reprogramming procedures.
During fiscal year 2017, the Committee directs the Service
Secretaries to submit written notification and justification to
the congressional defense committees not later than 15 days
prior to implementing transfers in excess of $15,000,000 out of
the following budget sub-activities:
Navy:
Mission and other flight operations
Mission and other ship operations
Air Force:
Operating forces depot maintenance
Mobilization depot maintenance
Training and recruiting depot maintenance
Administration and service-wide depot
maintenance
These transfers may be implemented 15 days after a
congressional notification unless an objection is received from
one of the congressional defense committees.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE BUDGET EXECUTION DATA

The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to continue
to provide the congressional defense committees with quarterly
budget execution data. Such data should be provided not later
than 45 days after the close of each quarter of the fiscal
year, and should be provided for each O-1 budget activity,
activity group, and sub-activity group for each of the active,
defense-wide, reserve, and National Guard components. For each
O-1 budget activity, activity group, and sub-activity group,
these reports should include the budget request and actual
obligation amount, the distribution of unallocated
congressional adjustments to the budget request, all
adjustments made by the Department in establishing the Base for
Reprogramming (DD Form 1414) report, all adjustments resulting
from below threshold reprogrammings, and all adjustments
resulting from prior approval reprogramming requests.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE SPECIAL INTEREST ITEMS

Items for which additional funds have been provided or have
been specifically reduced as shown in the project level tables
or in paragraphs using the phrase ``only for'' or ``only to''
in the Committee report are congressional special interest
items for the purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form
1414). Each of these items must be carried on the DD Form 1414
at the stated amount as specifically addressed in the Committee
report. Below Threshold Reprogrammings may not be used to
either restore or reduce funding from congressional special
interest items as identified on the DD Form 1414.

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW

Readiness.--The Committee recommends an additional
$1,450,000,000 in title VIII and $1,000,000,000 in title IX of
this act to be transferred to the operation and maintenance
accounts and be divided proportionately among the services and
the National Guard and reserve components. This funding shall
be used only to improve military readiness, including increased
training, depot maintenance, and base operations support. None
of the funding provided may be used for recruiting, marketing,
or advertising programs. The funding provided is a
congressional special interest item. The Secretary of Defense
and the Service Secretaries are directed to submit a detailed
spending plan by sub-activity group to the House and Senate
Appropriations Committees not less than 30 days prior to the
obligation of these funds. These transfers may be implemented
30 days after congressional notification unless an objection is
received from either the House or Senate Appropriations
Committees.
Civilian Workforce.--The Committee expects the Department
of Defense 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 1.6 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 DODI 7041.04.
Contract Services Spending.--The Committee is concerned
that the Department of Defense does not have adequate policies,
procedures, and controls in place to enforce limitations on the
annual amounts expended on contracted services. There is
further concern that not all contracted services are being
subjected to spending limitations because of the exclusion of
contracted services involving Economy Act transfers between and
within Department of Defense components. Additionally, 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, it appears as
though the Department does not deliberately plan for most
contracted services. The Committee urges the Under Secretary of
Defense (Comptroller) to review the efforts of the financial
management and acquisition communities to implement effective
control mechanisms for contracted services spending.
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 budget justification materials shall include the OP-8B:
Total Civilian Personnel Costs for every appropriation
as a part of the President's budget justification for
fiscal year 2018 and thereafter.
--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. This shall be
provided with the President's budget justification for
fiscal year 2018 and thereafter.
--Each OP-5 exhibit includes a personnel summary which
provides helpful information about the civilian
workforce. However, the way it is displayed includes
memo entries for military technicians and reimbursable
civilians, which makes it difficult to quickly analyze
direct hire full time equivalents [FTEs]. The Office of
the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) is
directed to revise the personnel summary section of the
OP-5 exhibit to maintain the categories of information
provided (including military technicians and
reimbursable civilians) but to breakout the numbers
without using memo entries.
--The Department's Financial Management Regulations [FMR]
directs the services and defense agencies to itemize
major program changes and provide the baseline in
dollars to which the increase or decrease applies on
the OP-5 exhibit. The Department of the Navy is
directed to use the most specific programmatic baseline
possible, regardless of whether or not the program
baseline is listed in the performance criteria.
--The FMR provides specific instructions for the performance
criteria for base operations support (Exhibit OP-5 Base
Support Program (Attachment 8)). The Air Force is
directed to follow this outline; particularly the
instruction that says that the sum of amounts must
match the Base Support total in the O-1 exhibit.
--The Department of the Air Force is encouraged to consider
consolidating the Base Support and Facilities
Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization budget line
items from four budget activities down to one budget
activity.
--The Department of the Air Force and the Marine Corps are
encouraged to begin utilizing OP-32 line 990
Information Technology Contract Support Services.
--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.
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. 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. The Committee supports
the Secretary of Defense's Policy Memorandum 16-001 from April
8, 2016, directing the military services ``to ensure a
comprehensive tobacco policy that assists with preventing
initiation of tobacco use, helping those who want to quit using
tobacco succeed, and decreasing exposure to second-hand smoke
for all our people.'' As a result, the Committee retains a
provision from the Department of Defense Appropriations Act,
2016 (Public Law 114-113) directing the elimination of the
price subsidy provided to tobacco products at military
exchanges.
Voluntary Military Education Programs--Tracking Outcomes.--
The Committee remains concerned about the lack of information
available on the outcomes of students receiving Tuition
Assistance and My Career Advancement Account [MyCAA] benefits.
The Committee directed the Secretary of Defense to submit a
report tracking such outcomes of each of these programs on or
before June 1, 2016, as part of the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113). The Committee
looks forward to receiving this report as soon as possible, and
it shall include, but not be limited to, the following data
totals for the most recent calendar year available: 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--Enforcing Memorandum
of Understanding.--The Committee supports the Department of
Defense's commitment to enforcing the terms of the current
Memorandum of Understanding [MOU] with all educational
institutions providing educational programs through the
Department of Defense tuition assistance program. The Committee
is also supportive of the Department's efforts to increase
participating institutions' understanding of their contractual
obligations as MOU signatories and the procedures for
enforcement as outlined in Department of Defense Instruction
[DODI] 1322.25. The Committee urges the Department to maintain
vigorous defense of these responsibilities in order to protect
the integrity and quality of voluntary military education
programs.
Item Unique Identification Implementation.--The Committee
supports the Department of Defense's goal of enhancing asset
visibility through item-unique identification [IUID] and
automatic identification technology/automatic identification
and data capture [AIT/AIDC] processes, but remains concerned
with the level of the compliance with its own IUID policy which
was released on September 3, 2015. The Committee believes the
Department of Defense must improve its efforts to capture
meaningful data and mark, track and verify assets to enable
life-cycle management, implement asset valuation/accountability
for audit readiness, and support counterfeit part risk
reduction. Any successful asset visibility or AIT/AIDC strategy
requires continuous identification, integration, and monitoring
of efforts. The committee urges the Department and the services
to increase their oversight of the implementation of IUID and
other AIT/AIDC policies.
Counterfeit Parts.--The Department of Defense has taken
significant steps since legislation was enacted in 2012 to
reduce the risk of counterfeit electronic parts entering into
Department of Defense weapon systems. Although responsibility
for eliminating risk of counterfeit parts belongs to industry
suppliers to the Department of Defense at all tiers, the
Committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to be proactive
about identifying, developing, and validating independent tools
that suppliers could easily use to rapidly identify counterfeit
electronics in the supply chain accurately and at low cost.
Training Ranges.--The services rely on national air ranges
and military operating areas to provide realistic combined-arms
training for pilots against a variety of targets and simulated
threats. The Committee is aware that the services augment the
national ranges by maintaining a network of regional air
training ranges with air to ground targeting areas that are
essential to maintain the proficiency and readiness for pilots
and aircrews who do not have consistent access to national
ranges. Regional ranges and exercises have the potential to
offer valuable cost savings measures and a means for flying
units to satisfy training requirements in a limited fiscal
environment. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Secretary
of Defense to establish an investment strategy for the
preservation and enhancement of regional ranges and exercises
needed to provide live training for aircrews across the full
spectrum of operations.
Federal Fleet Management Transparency and Metrics.--The
Committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to maintain
supporting documentation on the methods the Department of
Defense uses for determining optimal fleet inventories and
justification for any deviation from the General Services
Administration's Federal Property Management Regulations.
Children's Advocacy Centers [CACs].--Children's Advocacy
Centers [CACs] are a community-based, public-private
partnership that brings together professionals from law
enforcement, prosecution, medical, mental health, child
protective services, and victim advocacy agencies to pursue the
truth in child abuse investigations. The Committee applauds
existing efforts undertaken by military bases to enter into
voluntary memoranda of understanding with CACs in their
communities, which allow CACs to provide their services to
military families affected by child abuse. The Committee
encourages the Department of Defense and military bases across
the country to continue to voluntarily collaborate with CACs in
their communities to serve the best interests of child abuse
victims within military families.
Cyber Kinetic Combat Environment.--The Committee is
encouraged by current progress to address training shortfalls
in the cyber kinetic combat environment. Particularly, the
Committee supports the Air Force's efforts to identify a
training environment where they can replicate combat conditions
and perform simultaneous operations, cyber-enabled kinetic
operations, or physically-enabled cyber operations. Adversaries
continue to develop asymmetric and cyber capabilities which put
U.S. and allied forces at risk. The Committee encourages
developing this training as a priority for the Department of
Defense.
Transparency Requirement.--The Committee is aware that the
Department of Defense does a variety of different types of
advertising. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to
clearly state within the text, audio or video used for
advertising or educational purposes, including emails or
advertising/posting on the Internet, that the communication is
printed, published, or produced and disseminated at U.S.
taxpayer expense.
Resourcing the Arctic Strategy.--As previously expressed in
Senate Report 114-63, the Committee requires greater budgetary
detail on amounts included in the President's request for
implementation of the Department of Defense 2013 Arctic
Strategy. The Committee notes that contrary to previous
direction, that information was not provided with the
submission of the fiscal year 2017 President's budget. The
Committee reiterates its direction contained in Senate Report
114-63 for the fiscal year 2018 President's budget, and directs
that not more than 50 percent of funds appropriated for the
Office of Under Secretary of Defense (Policy) may be obligated
or expended until the previously requested information has been
provided to the congressional defense committees.
Cyber Mission Force Training and Readiness.--The Committee
supports efforts by the Department of Defense to grow a capable
and trained cyber mission force, however, the Department is
experiencing challenges in providing necessary training for
military personnel in a timeframe that meets the demand. Given
the urgent need to develop a capable cyber mission force, the
Committee recommends that the Secretary of Defense, in
coordination with the Service Secretaries and the Active and
Reserve components, develop a strategy to address the current
training delay, to include procedures and plans to increase
training opportunities. The strategy should include an
assessment of the feasibility of expanding training to sites
with Active or Reserve components with secure infrastructure
and qualified cyber personnel, including aggressor units and
cyber red team units, capable of training military personnel in
various cyber missions.
Cyber Mission Force Training Curriculum.--The Committee
recognizes the need for the U.S. military to have the most
competitive cyber-security force in the world, both in offense
and defense. The Committee also recognizes that hacking
contests, such as the CyberStakes platform, offer a scalable
platform that achieves an ever increasing level of competence
among participants. The Committee directs the Director of Force
Readiness and Training to develop, as part of the cyber
training curriculum, a competitive hacking environment that
includes the ability for participants to build novel working
exploits and defend against them. The Director shall report
back to the Committee within 120 days after enactment of this
act on the training environment and steps that will be taken to
measure participant capabilities.
National Security Planning.--The Committee commends the
Under Secretary of Defense for Policy on its steps to mitigate
the national security implications of environmental impacts, as
required by Senate Report 113-211 (July 17, 2014). The
Committee supports the Under Secretary's continued direction to
address the most serious risks for each of the geographic
Combatant Commands, and how those commands are integrating
mitigation of those risks into their planning processes. The
Committee encourages the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy
and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to continue to
assess the risks to national security posed by environmental
impacts as they plan and execute the National Security
Strategy.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Excess Carryover in the Army Working Capital Fund.--The
Committee recommends an adjustment to Operation and
Maintenance, Army based on excess carryover in the Army Working
Capital Fund. Carryover, or unfilled orders, represents the
dollar value of the production orders (parts, labor, and
overhead) that have been ordered and funded by customers but
not completed by the industrial operations activities at the
end of each fiscal year. Some carryover is necessary, as it
provides lead time to assemble necessary workforce skill sets,
to establish supply chains. Carryover also prevents production
line stoppages and ensures the activities have funded work to
provide a smooth transition between fiscal years. Therefore,
for budgeting purposes, there are metrics that the services use
to calculate an allowable amount of carryover. But the fiscal
year 2017 President's budget request shows that the Army's
projection for carryover will be above the allowable limit.
The Committee urges Army leadership to continue monitoring
carryover and production goals on a recurring basis. The
Committee also encourages the Army to focus on further reducing
carryover by leveraging new policy and process improvements
aimed at increasing production, improving customer-provider
communication, and strengthening controls over the acceptance
of new orders. Finally, the Committee affirms that the key to
reducing carryover below the allowable limit is for the Army to
perform more work on orders than the amount of orders received
in a year.
Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.--The Committee is
supportive of the Army's decision to delay the removal of 2,600
Soldiers from the 4-25 Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne)
stationed at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson [JBER]. The
decision to retain JBER's force structure signals that the Army
remains dedicated to supporting the strategic balance to the
Pacific, preserving a leading role in the Arctic, and
preventing North Korean and Russian aggression by maintaining
key assets in Alaska. However, the Committee questions the
Army's decision to delay instead of reverse its plans for JBER
and expects a continued effort by the Army to recognize the
mission and strategic value of the 4-25 as the only airborne
brigade in the Pacific.
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] and Product
Lifecycle Management Software to allow cost savings in future
maintenance and calibration expenditures.
Army Training and Certification Tracking System [ATCTS].--
The Army Training and Certification Tracking System provides
managers a capability to report and manage training and
certification statistics for the Information Assurance [IA]
workforce to ensure the security of information technology. The
Committee recognizes the effectiveness of this program and
encourages the Secretary of the Army to consider expanding it
based on the growing threat of cyber-attacks and the need to
ensure personnel have the proper training and certification to
deal with appropriate sensitive material.
Soldier for Life--Transition Assistance Program.--The
Soldier for Life-Transition Assistance Program [SFL-TAP]
provides transitioning and retiring soldiers, family members,
and Army civilians job training assistance and helps develop
skills they require to obtain appropriate employment and to
maximize the use of benefits earned through new employment.
SFL-TAP also provides outreach services to soldiers stationed
in remote and isolated locations through the use of 24/7
virtual counseling or Mobile Transition Teams. The Committee
recognizes the need to successfully transition soldiers from
military to civilian life and the requirement to transition
them with the skills and certifications necessary to lead a
productive civilian life and encourages the Army to continue
robust support for this program.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Naval Shipyard Apprentice Program.--The Committee directs
that during fiscal year 2017 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 2018 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.
Ship Overhaul Opportunistic Part-Marking Compliance.--The
Committee supports the Navy's efforts to improve compliance
with its Opportunistic Part-Marking policy during ship
overhauls and repairs at shipyards across the country.
Compliance with the policy will help the Navy produce clean
financial audits, lower total life-cycle cost, identify
counterfeit parts, and save taxpayer funding through improved
productivity, efficiency, maintenance, and logistical planning.
Advanced Skills Management Legacy System Upgrades.--The
Committee is concerned that the Navy is not giving full
consideration to commercial-off-the-shelf [COTS] software
solutions. The Secretary of the Navy is encouraged to use the
best value procurement methods when upgrading legacy software
systems.
Joint Interagency Task Force West [JIATF-West].--The
Committee is concerned that the current organizational
structure of the Joint Interagency Task Force West [JIATF-West]
is impacting the resource allocation between headquarters
activities and operational programs and tasks. The Committee
recommends that JIATF-West continue to review its
organizational structure to realign staff in support of
missions associated with Pacific Command's Theatre Campaign
Plan.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Arctic Search and Rescue requirements.--The Committee notes
the increased utilization of the Arctic region by commercial
air and vessel traffic and believes that this requires an
update of search and rescue requirements in the region. The
Committee understands that the Alaska Air National Guard 176th
Wing is the closest dedicated rescue force, but maintains only
a single Arctic sustainment package for alerts and partial
package for training. The Secretary of the Air Force is
directed to review Arctic search and rescue requirements and to
submit with the fiscal year 2018 President's budget a report
detailing the results of this review.
Air Force Weather Monitoring.--The Committee recognizes the
importance of Air Force weather radars for the safety of
military aircrews and for their contributions to weather
forecasting in accordance with the interagency Next Generation
Weather Radar [NEXRAD] network. The Secretary of the Air Force
is directed to provide 30 days advance notification to the
congressional defense committees of any proposed divestment of
NEXRAD radars or associated support activities.
Cyber Command Elevation.--The Committee understands that
the Department of Defense and Congress are considering
elevating Cyber Command to a full Combatant Command. The
Committee recognizes that if such a transition takes place, it
will take time to develop staffing plans, hire and clear needed
personnel, and transfer military personnel to the new Command.
The Committee believes that funds from within the fiscal year
2017 budget for Cyber Command are sufficient to meet the
Command's early needs. The Committee expects that additional
funds will be needed in fiscal year 2018 to support an elevated
Cyber Command and directs the Secretary of Defense to present
its plan for necessary funding in the fiscal year 2018 budget
request if Cyber Command elevation is approved.

Wargaming.--The Office of the Secretary of Defense's budget
request included $35,000,000 for wargaming initiatives that
will pursue innovative ways to sustain and advance military
superiority and improve business operations throughout the
Department of Defense. These resources will be allocated
through a rigorous process, overseen by the Quad Chairs (Office
of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, the Joint Staff,
Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation [CAPE], and the Office
of Net Assessment [ONA]) and reporting to the Deputy Secretary
of Defense. The Wargaming Quad Chairs will evaluate funding
proposals from the Combatant Commanders and military services,
with the Joint Staff overseeing full execution of approved
initiatives. The Committee is supportive of the Department of
Defense's efforts to combat emerging threats and to challenge
adversaries. Therefore, the Secretary of Defense is directed to
submit a quarterly report on the wargaming initiatives that are
funded in fiscal year 2017. The reports shall include the title
of each initiative, the recipient, the amount funded and a
short explanation of the objective. The reports shall be
submitted to the congressional defense committees not later
than 30 days after the close of each quarter of the fiscal
year.
Long-Term Temporary Per Diem.--In November, 2014, the
Department of Defense [DOD] implemented a change to the Joint
Travel Regulation [JTR] cutting per diem rates during long-term
temporary duty travel. The Committee is concerned about the
effect of the flat rate per diem policy on long-term temporary
duty travelers. This policy has discouraged experienced
employees of shipyards, depots, and arsenals from across the
DOD from volunteering to fulfill mission critical requirements
due to concerns of paying for expenses related to official
travel out of pocket. The Committee is aware of legislative
proposals and administrative policy that allow DOD to waive the
flat rate per diem. However, the Committee is concerned that
this waiver authority has generated greater uncertainty in the
DOD workforce, particularly since the authority is split across
proposed legislation and administrative policy, with meals and
incidentals covered by pending legislation, and lodging by
policy. Moreover, the Committee is concerned that these various
waiver authorities create additional obstacles that discourage
DOD's most experienced professionals from volunteering for
mission essential work. The Committee worries that this affects
the savings that accrue to DOD by adding maintenance days as a
result of having less experienced workers volunteering for
long-term missions.
The Committee notes that section 623 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-
49) directed a review by the Comptroller General of the United
States on the impact DOD's long-term temporary duty per diem
policy has on affected employees. The Committee will carefully
consider the findings of this review and will continue to work
with stakeholders on potential policy changes, including a
reversal of the flat rate per diem policy on long-term
temporary duty travel if such a change becomes prudent. While
the Committee awaits the results of that study, DOD is
encouraged to allow the Service Secretaries to waive the per
diem rates of long-term duty travelers up to the full amount
based on actual costs incurred.
Defense Language National Security Education Office.--The
Committee recognizes that, in partnership with universities
across the country, the National Security Education Program
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.
Counter-Lord's Resistance Army.--The Department of Defense
shall continue its support of Operation Observant Compass to
enable regional partners to continue to conduct operations
against Joseph Kony and the Lord's Resistance Army.
African Standby Force.--The Committee recognizes that the
rapid deployment capability envisioned for the African Standby
Force [ASF] has the potential to counter emerging crises and
provide greatly needed peacekeeping support in Africa. However,
this capability has been slow to develop, faces inadequate
troop contributions, and has yet to reach full operational
capability more than a decade since its inception. As the
combatant command overseeing U.S. military policy in Africa,
Africa Command [AFRICOM] may have a constructive role in
engaging the African Union's Regional Economic Communities who
are tasked to provide the necessary capabilities to bring ASF
to full operational capability.
In the report accompanying the Senate version of the
Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2016 (Senate Report
114-63), the Committee directed the Secretary of Defense to
provide a report to the congressional defense committees not
later than 120 days after enactment, on AFRICOM's capabilities
to engage the Regional Economic Communities. The report was to
include an assessment of the military capacity shortfalls, to
include logistics and airlift that must be addressed as African
nations stand up a capable response force. To date, the report
has not been delivered to the committees. The Committee expects
an expeditious response from the Secretary of Defense to last
year's request and expects that future reports will be
delivered in a more timely manner.
Special Victims' Counsel Program.--The Committee remains
concerned with the level of sexual assault in the military and
supports the Department's continuing efforts to strengthen its
sexual assault prevention and response program. The needs of
victims of sexual assault for legal advice and guidance are
particularly acute. To ensure that the Department continues to
make progress protecting a victim's confidentiality and ending
alienation during the investigation and prosecution of their
case, the Committee recommends an additional $25,000,000 for
implementation of the Special Victims' Counsel Program across
the services.
Youth Serving Organizations.--The Committee recognizes that
the dependent children of uniformed servicemembers often
experience turbulence and instability during their
developmental years as a result of frequent deployments,
permanent change of station moves, and training requirements
borne by their parents in the service of the nation. The
Committee further recognizes the importance of youth outreach
programs that provide military children opportunity and
mentorship as they cope with the turbulence that often
accompanies military service. Therefore, the Committee
recommends an additional $5,000,000 to support youth serving
organizations and to expand efforts to support free memberships
for military children who reside off base and wish to join off-
installation sponsored youth serving organizations.

reprogramming guidance for acquisition accounts

The Secretary of Defense is directed to continue to follow
the reprogramming guidance as specified in the report
accompanying the House version of the Department of Defense
appropriations bill for fiscal year 2008 (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.
Also, 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 for Fiscal Year
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 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
report.

PROCUREMENT OVERVIEW

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.
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 the country to
sustain in wartime and peacetime if the U.S. military is called
to act. However, the Committee is concerned that while the Army
Organic Industrial Base Strategy is identifying capabilities,
it has not prioritized them in annual budget requests to
Congress. In particular, the Nation's arsenals are at risk of
not having the capacity to respond rapidly to meet the
Department's needs. Addressing this concern, the Army in
comments provided to the Government Accountability Office [GAO]
in advance of its December 2015 report, Actions Needed to
Identify and Sustain Critical Capabilities, the Army concurred
with the GAO's recommendation that it must issue ``clear and
detailed implementation guidance, such as an instruction or
guidebook, on the process for conducting make-or-buy analysis
in a consistent manner.'' The Committee directs the Secretary
of the Army to issue such guidance as soon as possible. The
Committee further directs the Secretary to assign the arsenals
sufficient workload to maintain the critical capabilities
identified in the Army Organic Industrial Base Strategy Report
and ensure cost efficiency and technical competence in
peacetime, while preserving the ability to provide an effective
and timely response to mobilizations, national defense
contingency situations, and other emergency requirements.
Finally, the Committee notes that it has not yet received
detailed recommendations from the Secretary of Defense on how
the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps can better use the
arsenals for their manufacturing needs, or what opportunities
may exist for the arsenals to assist the services and the
Defense Logistics Agency to procure for our spare parts
inventory, as required by Senate Report 114-63.
Physical Access Control Systems.--The Committee remains
concerned with control systems at base access points and
encourages the Department to continue efforts to standardize
these systems across the services while finding the most
affordable solutions.
Equipment Modernization Reporting.--The Committee continues
to support maintaining fully modernized reserve components.
However, the methods used by the services to characterize and
report the status of military equipment modernization hinder
Congress' ability to determine relative levels of modernization
across the active and reserve components. The services must
establish and codify modernization principles that articulate
the definition of the term ``modern equipment'' in such a way
as to allow for transparent appropriation decisions. The
Committee also notes that equipment listed on service divesture
lists is not acceptable for characterization as ``modern'' if
fielded to the reserve components. The Committee directs the
Secretary of Defense to promulgate service standards for
reporting modern equipment in time for those standards to be
reflected in the National Guard and Reserve Equipment Report
for Fiscal Year 2018.
Equipment Transparency Report.--The Committee strongly
supports the Department of Defense's policy of transparency and
traceability of procurement funding for the reserve components.
However, the Committee notes that the Department continues to
have difficulty tracking funding requests for equipment for the
reserve components. The Equipment Transparency Report, intended
to provide such visibility, lacks the consistency and
reliability needed to be definitive and is, by the Department's
own admission, unreliable. The Committee supports the practice
of including reserve component funding requests in parent
service budgets, but seeks a clearer way to determine the
impact of funding on actual equipment procurement. Therefore,
the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a
report to the congressional defense committees, not later than
180 days after enactment of this act, outlining improvements or
alternatives to the Equipment Transparency Report.
MUOS.--The Committee has previously noted the lack of
alignment between the space, ground, and user equipment
segments on various space-based acquisition programs. The
Mobile User Objective System [MUOS] program has a satellite
constellation in orbit but few communications terminals
carrying the MUOS waveform software. The Committee directs the
Assistant Secretaries for Acquisition for both the Air Force
and the Navy to provide to the congressional defense
committees, not later than 180 days after enactment of this
act, their respective plans to enable current and future
communications systems with the MUOS capability, including a
timeline for fielding of the capability.
Renewables on Military Installations.--The Committee
recognizes the importance of properly building, maintaining and
monitoring renewable energy projects on Federal military
installations. Further, the Committee encourages the Department
to contract with private entities that operate North American
Electric Reliability Corporation [NERC] compliant monitoring
centers; offer training programs for governmental employees;
and have an established Environment, Health and Safety
standards program when procuring renewable energy.
Buy American Compliance.--The Committee is concerned with
two separate Inspector General reports, required by the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014, that
found both the Air Force and Navy were not in compliance with
the Buy American Act and Berry Amendment. Ensuring appropriate
domestic source requirements are included in contracts and
strict adherence to these requirements are vital to the health
of the Defense industrial base. Therefore, the Committee
encourages the Secretary of Defense to dedicate resources to
expand training and ensure compliance with the Buy American and
Berry Amendment.
Domestic Footwear.--The Committee acknowledges that S.
2943, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2017, as reported, seeks to amend section 418 of title 37
United States Code to address compliance with domestic source
requirements for footwear furnished to enlisted members of the
Armed Forces upon their initial entry into the Armed Forces.
RQ-7 Shadow.--The Committee understands that the Department
of the Army is requesting $71,169,000 to upgrade the RQ-7
Shadow unmanned aerial vehicle. The Committee is supportive of
the upgrade, but is concerned with the lack of competition. In
previous budget requests, the new payload has been described as
an alternative source. However, the Army has informed the
Committee that the new payload is now being described as an
upgraded capability to include high definition. As stated in
the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law
114-113), the Committee directed the Secretary of the Army to
review the acquisition strategy for this upgrade to validate
sufficient competition exists before awarding the contract. The
Committee looks forward to the results of this review.
Technology Procurement.--The Committee is concerned about
the procurement of sensitive technologies (hardware, software,
and services) and the potential transfer to nation states of
concern. Further, the Committee directs the Department of
Defense to provide a briefing to the congressional defense
committees on plans to mitigate risks posed by the procurement
of sensitive technologies.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Crew-Served Weapons Industrial Base.--Crew-served weapons
such as the M2 .50 caliber machine gun and the M240 7.62mm
medium machine gun have been a primary means of firepower for a
variety of Army combat service support forces. However, the
Committee is concerned that the programmatic direction for
these weapons is inconsistent with the Army's broader equipping
objective, to reduce the soldier's load while increasing the
capability and reliability of the weapons. The Committee
directs the Secretary of the Army to submit a report to the
congressional defense committees, not later than 90 days after
enactment of this act that outlines the plan to sustain crew-
served weapons and support the individual weapons industrial
base.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

HMMWV Modernization.--The Committee recognizes the critical
role that technologies like antilock brakes and electronic
stability control play in mitigating rollover accidents,
although such technologies are not common on military tactical
wheeled vehicles. The Army and Marine Corps recently completed
a congressionally mandated study of potential up-armored High
Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle [HMMWV] automotive
improvements, which included such technologies. As a result of
the Modernization Expanded Capability Vehicle-Automotive study,
the Committee understands that safety-improvement technologies
exist which could be applied to today's HMMWV fleet. The
Committee encourages the Army to initiate the necessary
engineering and logistical analyses necessary to develop and
compete an engineering proposal for Army up-armored HMMWV
safety improvement kits as an element of future modernization
efforts for HMMWVs in the Regular Army, Army National Guard,
and Army Reserve fleets.
HMMWV Ambulances.--The Committee notes that the average age
of ground ambulance fleets within the active and reserve
components of the Army is 28 years. At current levels of
investment, these fleets will remain less than 25 percent
modernized across the Future Years Defense Program, impairing
the total Army's ability to execute its Federal and State
missions. The Committee recommends an additional $110,000,000
for High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle ambulances, of
which $50,000,000 is intended for the Regular Army, $40,000,000
for the Army National Guard and $20,000,000 for the Army
Reserve.
Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles.--The Committee supports
the Army's plan to recompete the Family of Medium Tactical
Vehicles [FMTV] program in light of the significant cost
savings gained as a result of the 2010 competition. The
Committee supports the Army's plan, as outlined in the fiscal
year 2017 budget request, to continue to produce the current
generation of FMTV through the beginning of production of the
upgraded FMTV in 2020. This proposal will mitigate risk to the
FMTV industrial base as the contract is recompeted.
Tactical Bridging.--The Committee is aware that the Army is
replacing its aging MK II Bridge Erection Boats [BEB] with a
newly designed BEB upgraded to meet current survivability,
transportability, and interoperability requirements. It will
provide Regular Army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve
engineer bridge companies with enhanced capability to conduct
bridging, dive support, rafting, and patrols. The program
expects to transition to full rate production in fiscal year
2017 and eventually procure 379 vessels. The Committee
encourages the Army maintain close oversight of production to
keep program costs low and meet planned acquisition objectives.
Radiation Detection Devices.--The Committee notes that
shortfalls continue to exist within the reserve components in
fielding the most current radiation detection devices,
specifically personal dosimeters. To ensure our troops and
domestic homeland first responders are provided with the best
possible protection to monitor against nuclear exposure, the
Committee encourages the Secretary of the Army to expedite the
fielding of modern radiation detection equipment across the
force.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Marine Corps Aviation Readiness.--The Committee is
concerned about the state of Marine Corps aviation readiness
but recognizes that there is a 4-year recovery effort underway
to get aviation back up to the goal of T-2.0 readiness. While
the fiscal year 2017 budget request maximizes throughput at
maintenance depots, recent incidents and press reports about
spare parts shortages indicate continued attention is
necessary. The Committee therefore recommends additional
funding in Aircraft Procurement, Navy for spare parts and other
needs. The Committee urges the Navy and Marine Corps to
continue to prioritize restoring aviation readiness.
Navy Reserve Tactical Aircraft.--The Committee notes that
the Navy submitted a report to Congress in March 2016 titled,
Navy Reserve Tactical Aviation Force Recapitalization and
Modernization. The two Navy Reserve F/A-18 squadrons identified
in the report provide the Navy's active combat force with
adversary support and also fulfill the strategic reserve
mission. The Committee remains concerned about the Navy's
Strike Fighter Inventory Management strategy, including the
plan to recapitalize the Navy Reserve's aircraft. The Navy
Reserve is strained to accomplish its missions and, to make
matters worse, the aircraft fleet will begin to exceed its
service life in the next 5 years. Therefore, the Committee
directs the Navy to provide an update on the implementation of
the Strike Fighter Inventory Management strategy, to include a
3-year recapitalization and funding plan for the Navy Reserve's
two squadrons, with the submission of the fiscal year 2018
budget request.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Polar Icebreaker Recapitalization Project.--As detailed in
the report accompanying the Senate version of the fiscal year
2015 Department of Defense Appropriations Bill (Senate Report
113-211), the Committee is concerned that the United States is
operating an icebreaker fleet consisting of only one heavy and
one medium vessel. This falls short of U.S. requirements which
independent analysis has determined requires three heavy and
three medium icebreakers to cover our Nation's needs in the
Arctic and Antarctic. Recognizing the strategic importance of
polar operations to our Nation's future security and
prosperity, the Committee strongly supports proposals to
accelerate new construction of icebreaker ships.
In August of last year, the President of the United States
visited the Arctic and upon his return announced plans to
accelerate planned icebreaker construction from 2022 to 2020.
During this announcement, the President expressed his
commitment to work with Congress to make sure the United States
produces an icebreaker fleet sufficient to meet our economic,
commercial, maritime and national security needs. The Committee
believes this was an important step to ensuring year-round
access to the Polar Regions and increasing U.S. Government's
capability in these areas.
Further, the current age and condition of the operational
U.S. polar icebreaker fleet, the Polar Star and the Healy,
validates the need to pursue an accelerated replacement
timeline. The Polar Star entered service in 1976 and is now
well beyond its original 30-year service life. The ship was
refurbished and reentered service in 2012 for an intended
additional service period of 7 to 10 years--ending between 2019
and 2022. The Healy, the last icebreaker produced for the U.S.
Government, was funded more than 25 years ago by the Department
of Defense Appropriations Act, 1990 (Public Law 101-165).
While the effort to speed polar icebreaker acquisition by 2
years is commendable, the Committee believes more must be done
now to expand our capabilities and to defend interests in the
Polar Regions. In addition to concerns about our current fleet,
the Committee notes that Russia has roughly 40 operational
icebreakers and 11 icebreakers either planned or under
construction. Therefore, to further accelerate production, the
Committee recommends $1,000,000,000 in the ``Shipbuilding and
Conversion, Navy'' account to construct domestically the first
U.S. Coast Guard operated ship for the Polar Icebreaker
Recapitalization Project. In order to achieve an earlier start
on this project and to reduce cost and schedule risk, the
Committee encourages the selection of an in-service U.S. hull
design and the setting of limitations on overall ship
specifications and requirements. The Committee directs the
Secretary of Defense in coordination with the Secretary of
Homeland Security to submit a report to the appropriate
congressional committees not later than September 30, 2016
which provides polar icebreaker requirements, preferred design,
overall acquisition strategy, and a breakout of funds necessary
to support the acquisition.
Expeditionary Fast Transport [EFT].--The Department of
Defense Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113) provided
funds for a 12th Expeditionary Fast Transport ship, formerly
known as the Joint High Speed Vessel. The Committee has
supported the construction of additional EFTs and notes a
previous requirement for 18 ships. The Department decided to
assume risk with the overall ship requirement due to fiscal
constraints and reduced the program procurement objective when
it submitted its budget for fiscal year 2013. As these ships
are deployed, the Committee understands that Combatant and
Fleet Commanders are identifying additional missions for the
ships since they provide a means for fast intra-theater
transportation of troops, military vehicles and equipment which
thereby free up the more limited high-end platforms for more
appropriate missions. While the Committee does not recommend
funding for an additional ship in fiscal year 2017, the
Committee supports a Navy reassessment of the overall
procurement objective to determine if there is a requirement
for more ships to meet Fleet demand.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

KC-46 Tanker.--The Committee supports the budget request of
$2,884,591,000 to procure 15 KC-46 Tanker aircraft; however,
the Committee is concerned with several aspects of the program.
First, the fiscal year 2017 request was originally planned
to be the first year of full rate production with a maximum
production quantity of 15 aircraft per year, requiring approval
from the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology, and Logistics [AT&L]. Unfortunately, the full rate
production decision has been delayed and the fiscal year 2017
aircraft buy was downgraded to a low rate initial buy at the
same quantity but without a formal review by AT&L.
Second, the program has only completed roughly 20 percent
of development flight test and recently identified a critical
issue with the refueling boom. The Air Force is still
performing testing to determine if the solution requires
software or hardware changes, or both.
Third, the Committee is concerned with the numerous delays
in key milestones. Specifically, the approval to begin
production (milestone C) has slipped 10-11 months; initial
operational test and evaluation has slipped 11 months; and
delivery of the first aircraft has slipped 9 months. The
current schedule indicates that all of these milestones are now
projected to occur near the contractually established delivery
dates leaving little schedule margin to meet the required
assets availability requirement of August 2018.
The Committee fully funds the fiscal year 2017 budget
request to maintain the acquisition strategy, with concerns
noted above, and directs Secretary of the Air Force to continue
providing quarterly program updates.
UH-1 Replacement.--The Committee recognizes the urgent need
to replace the current Air Force fleet of UH-1N aircraft
supporting the emergency response mission of the
intercontinental ballistic missile [ICBM] sites. Therefore, the
Committee recommends $75,000,000 for the Air Force and directs
the Air Force to expedite procurement of replacement aircraft
in compliance with 10 U.S.C. 2304.
Additionally, the Committee directs the Commander of the
United States Strategic Command [USSTRATCOM], not later than 30
days after the date of enactment of this act, to submit a
classified report to the congressional defense committees that
includes (1) a description of potential threats to the security
of ICBM sites as a result of the UH-1N not meeting current
mission requirements; (2) a list of helicopter capabilities
needed to meet current mission requirements; (3) the minimum
number of aircraft needed for emergency response mission; and
(4) an assessment of the security risks associated with any
shortfalls identified.
Therefore, until the UH-1N aircraft supporting the ICBM
sites are replaced, the Committee directs the Secretary of
Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of the Air Force,
Secretary of the Army, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of
Staff, to mitigate the air support security risks with
additional air support. Further, the Committee directs the
Secretary of Defense, not later than 180 days after the date of
enactment of this act, to submit a report, with certification
from the Commander, USSTRATCOM, that the security risk
mitigation actions taken do effectively address the shortfalls
identified by the report from USSTRATCOM.
Compass Call.--In fiscal year 2016, the Air Force requested
to retire six Compass Call aircraft. Due to the unique and high
demand capability that the Compass Call aircraft provide, the
Committee directed the Air Force to maintain the entire fleet.
Recently, the Air Force revised the operating requirements of
the Compass Call aircraft and submitted a proposal that would
begin procurement of new aircraft onto which the current
equipment would be re-hosted. Because the Committee supports
the Compass Call mission and acknowledges the fact that the
current aircraft are expensive to operate and do not meet the
revised operating requirements, in fiscal year 2017 the
Committee recommends $103,000,000 and directs the Air Force to
expedite procurement of new aircraft in compliance with 10 U.S.
Code 2304.
F-22 Modernization.--The Committee recognizes the increased
operational use of the F-22 Raptor and notes that the Air Force
is challenged to balance the operational demands and training
needs for this platform. Currently, the Air Force retains 31 F-
22 Raptors at Tyndall Air Force for pilot training. The
Committee believes that, if the need were to arise, these
training aircraft could be used to supplement the combat fleet
for operational missions. However, the Committee is concerned
that the Air Force is not updating the training fleet with the
same capability as the operational fleet. Therefore, the
Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide to
the congressional defense committees, not later than 120 days
after enactment of this act, an analysis of the cost and
schedule required to rapidly modernize the 31 remaining Block
20 training F-22 Raptor aircraft based at Tyndall Air Force
Base up to the full Increment 3.2B combat configuration.
Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System [JSTARS].--
The Committee supports the JSTARS recapitalization program, an
essential warfighting capability. The Committee expects the Air
Force will take no action to prematurely retire E-8C aircraft
until the new capability delivers. Accordingly, the Committee
directs the Secretary of the Air Force to fund all necessary
modifications of the E-8C fleet and maintain all E-8C aircraft
in a common configuration to support world-wide missions, avoid
the degradation of mission performance, and meet combatant
commander requirements.
National Guard Air Superiority Mission.--The Committee
recognizes the benefit to the U.S. Northern Command combatant
commander, responsible for homeland defense, to have access to
lethal air superiority aircraft that are able to perform the
air superiority mission for extended periods of time, with only
limited air refueling assets. The Committee encourages the Air
Force to review the benefits and costs of fully equipping Air
National Guard F-15C/D aircraft with conformal fuel tanks and
additional weapons stations to enhance homeland defense
capability.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle.--The fiscal year 2017
budget requests $1,506,439,000 for the Evolved Expendable
Launch Vehicle [EELV] program: $737,853,000 for launch services
and $768,586,000 for launch capability. In the Department of
Defense Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113), Congress
expressed concern with the Air Force's 2016 budget request that
accelerated GPS III launches ahead of the plan laid out in the
2015 budget request. Congress noted concerns that delays in the
Operational Control Segment [OCX] ground system that is needed
to launch, checkout, and ultimately integrate and operate the
GPS III satellites with the legacy GPS architecture will not be
ready for many years after the Air Force plans to launch
several of the GPS III satellites. Furthermore, the Department
of Defense has been unable to provide Congress with a
validation of the requirements for accelerating GPS III
launches ahead of the 2015 schedule as required in the 2016
Act.
Despite these concerns and additional delays in the OCX
system, the 2017 budget request outlines a plan to launch six
satellites before 2019, the earliest the Air Force expects to
have a Contingency Operations [COps] solution that would enable
operation of the GPS III satellites in the constellation. The
Director, Operational Test and Evaluation [DOT&E] noted in a
January 2016 memorandum to the Secretary of Defense, however,
that the proposed COps schedule is ``grossly optimistic and
unrealistic.'' Additionally, the Air Force plans to launch
another three GPS III satellites before the end of 2021. The
Committee sees no justification for launching so many
satellites without a system in place to operate them.
The Committee, therefore, recommends a reduction of
$295,000,000 in the EELV program for two GPS III launch
services in 2017 which are ahead of need. In addition, the
Committee recommends a reduction of $200,000,000 for EELV
launch capability for those launches and two launches in 2016
that will not be awarded due to congressional termination of
one launch in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act,
2016 (Public Law 114-113) and an Air Force movement of the
other launch award to an earlier fiscal year. Finally, the
Committee recommends a rescission of $157,000,000 for the 2016
EELV launch service which the Air Force moved to an earlier
award date, but for which funding remained in the fiscal year
2016 budget.

Procurement of Ammunition, Air Force

Budget estimate, 2017................................... 1,677,719,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$1,665,219,000. This is $12,500,000 below the budget estimate.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Additional Funding.--The Committee recognizes the critical
role that the Defense Production Act [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 $20,000,000 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 (Acquisition,
Technology, and Logistics) to notify 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 2017 budget requests a total of
$71,391,771,000 for research, development, test and evaluation
appropriations.

SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION

The Committee recommends research, development, test and
evaluation appropriations totaling $70,800,794,000 for fiscal
year 2017. This is $590,977,000 below the budget estimate.
Committee recommended research, development, test and
evaluation appropriations for fiscal year 2017 are summarized
below:

REPROGRAMMING GUIDANCE FOR ACQUISITION ACCOUNTS

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION OVERVIEW

Use of Research, Development, Test and Evaluation funds to
procure end-items.--As in previous years, the Committee retains
a general provision, section 8057, prohibiting the use of funds
appropriated in title IV of this act to procure end-items for
delivery to military forces for operational training,
operational use or inventory requirements with the exception of
end-items used in development, prototyping, and test activities
preceding and leading to acceptance for operational use. The
Committee notes a marked increase in the use of title IV funds
under these exceptions and directs the Under Secretary of
Defense (Acquisition, Technology, Logistics), in conjunction
with the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition,
Logistics and Technology), the Assistant Secretary of the Navy
(Research, Development and Acquisition), the Deputy Commandant
(Combat Development and Integration), the Assistant Secretary
of the Air Force (Acquisition), and the Acquisition Executive,
Special Operations Command, to provide no later than submission
of the fiscal year 2018 President's budget request a report to
the congressional defense committees detailing by fiscal year
for each military service, all prototypes or other end-items
funded with title IV funds planned for operational use. The
report shall cover each of the previous three fiscal years and
each fiscal year in the Fiscal Year 2018 Future Years Defense
Program.
Basic Research.--The fiscal year 2017 budget request
includes $2,101,832,000 for basic research in Research,
Development, Test and Evaluation for the Army, Navy, Air Force
and Department of Defense. This amount is $207,364,000 below
the amount appropriated in the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113). The Committee
believes that further investment in basic research must
continue and is concerned with the minor increases being made
in basic research. The Army, Air Force and the Department of
Defense made only modest increases in basic research in fiscal
year 2017 compared with the fiscal year 2016 request. Most
alarming was the Navy's reduction in basic research funding
which decreased by $43,958,000 in fiscal year 2017 compared
with the fiscal year 2016 request.
Basic research is the foundation of innovative
breakthroughs that are critical to maintaining the Nation's
future technological edge. Investments in basic research not
only provide advances in technology for our military men and
women but also provide an important incubator for national labs
and academic research institutions. These investments also
encourage partnerships and collaboration with industry. In
order to keep pace with the global challenges to come, the
Committee believes that additional funding should be allocated
to Federal research. Therefore, the Committee recommends
$2,264,832,000 for basic research, an increase of $163,000,000
over the fiscal year 2017 budget request.
Alternative Energy Research.--The Committee continues to
support the fiscal and operational value of investing in
alternative energy research. The Committee recommends an
additional $55,000,000 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 diverse mix of fuels.
Department of Defense Laboratory Alternative Governance
Assessment Pilot Program.--The Committee encourages the
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research, Development and
Engineering to conduct a study evaluating alternative
governance models for Department of Defense laboratories. This
review should build upon previous work and may result in a
pilot program that permits the laboratories selected to
implement new management approaches and governance methods that
improve autonomy, decision-making and technology transfer
opportunities.

Improved Turbine Engine Program [ITEP].--The fiscal year
2017 budget request includes $126,105,000 for the Improved
Turbine Engine Program [ITEP]. The Army's acquisition strategy
for ITEP includes contracting with no less than two engine
developers through Milestone B to ensure competition in the
program. The Committee is fully supportive of this approach and
has provided the necessary resources to fully fund this
strategy; however, the Committee notes that the Preliminary
Design Review contract has been delayed at least 6 months and
is now scheduled to be awarded toward the end of fiscal year
2016, which leaves excess funds in the program. Therefore, the
Committee recommends a reduction of $30,000,000 to the fiscal
year 2017 budget request to account for this schedule slip but
expects the Army to maintain its dual vendor strategy in order
to reduce risk, achieve appropriate technology maturity, and
set the conditions for ultimate program success.
Modular Handgun System.--The Committee understands that the
Army is currently considering the acceleration of the Modular
Handgun System [MHS] program. As the Army moves forward in
testing and source selection, the Committee encourages the Army
to evaluate an upgraded configuration of the current handgun in
addition to other available off-the-shelf handguns as cost-
effective alternatives that may satisfy the requirements of the
MHS program.
Material Development, Characterization, and Computational
Modeling.--The Committee recognizes the importance of
evaluating materials and technologies as well as designing and
developing methodologies and models to enable enhanced
lethality and survivability. Methods such as computational
research allow for the development of models that predict the
mechanical properties of materials that are used in research
and development at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory [ARL].
These models and simulations, which are based on quantum
mechanics, statistical mechanics principles, and thermodynamic
simulations, and are tested via cold spray synthesis and
mechanical testing, provide a cost savings to the Department of
Defense by simulating materials prior to testing them to ensure
mechanical properties will work together. Additionally, these
methodologies allow for the enhanced development of
technologies such as lightweight armors, protective structures,
kinetic energy active protection, ballistic shock and mine
blast protection, helmet technologies to prevent traumatic
brain injury, and numerous other uses. The Committee encourages
ARL to continue the utilization of computational modeling and
simulations research to achieve greater cost savings.
Optimization of Ammunition Manufacturing.--The Committee
understands that the Army is the single manager for
conventional ammunition for the Department of Defense and is
responsible for ensuring effective life cycle management of
conventional ammunition products. This includes development and
optimization of ammunition manufacturing processes as well as
development and integration of new materials. The Committee
believes that the manufacturing of conventional ammunition
could be assisted by automating and optimizing propellant
production processes and integrating new materials. These
processes and materials may reduce cost, increase ammunition
performance and enhance soldier safety; and the Committee
encourages the Secretary of the Army to equip the national
technical industrial base with new and emerging manufacturing
processes and materials in order to achieve these goals.
Strategic Materials Research.--The Committee continues to
recognize the importance of the Army Research Laboratory [ARL]
in 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 Army, the academic community, and industry
through collaboration involving ARL's research staff and
facilities, leading to continued technological superiority for
the U.S. warfighter. The Committee encourages the Army to
consider accelerating expansion of its Open Campus approach to
its Materials and Manufacturing Science laboratories to benefit
strategic materials research.
Materials in Extreme Dynamic Environments Program.--The
Committee recognizes the critical role of the Army's Materials
in Extreme Dynamic Environments program in strengthening the
domestic capability to develop and manufacture essential
protection materials and encourages the Army to continue this
work, which serves the national interest.
Robotic Environmental Remediation of Army Ranges.--The
Committee understands that the Army has launched a robotic-
centric environmental remediation program aimed at cleaning up
decades of unexploded ordinance contamination at U.S. Army
ranges with tele-operated heavy equipment. The Committee
encourages the Army to increase the fleet of robotic applique
kits that remotely control a variety of vehicles leveraging
fully modernized vehicle control systems.
Simulation Training.--The Committee acknowledges that
simulation training is a cost-effective means by which military
units can improve tactical decision-making skills and readiness
in realistic scenarios otherwise found only in theater combat
operations. The Committee encourages the Department to continue
expansion of simulation training and seek the appropriate
combination of government-owned and operated simulators as well
as contractor support in order to maximize efficiency and
effectiveness.
Assessment of Degraded Visual Environment Technology.--The
Committee encourages the Army to ensure that operational
testing protocols for products under development to assist
flight crews during situations of degraded visual environment
are of the highest quality, based on the best scientific
knowledge of the complex dynamics of dust brownout and
standardized, to the maximum extent possible, to fairly
evaluate and test all technologies under the extreme conditions
required by the Army. This will ensure that all field testing
is fair to all competing vendors, increase cost-effectiveness
of field testing through the development of realistic and
manageable test conditions and ensure that the technology
deployed for warfighters has been adequately tested for
operational conditions.
Human Factors Engineering Technology.--The Committee
supports the Department's continued efforts to support research
into aspects of human factors engineering that impact the
capabilities of soldiers. The Committee notes that the
Department plans to fund Continuous Multi-Faceted Soldier
Characterization for Adaptive Technologies starting in fiscal
year 2017. As part of this effort, the Committee encourages the
Department to prioritize development of a biosensor ecosystem
capable of continuous monitoring of the solider, including the
measure of hydration, stress, nutrition, body temperature, and
other data needed to model soldier performance. This research
should also look to enable longitudinal, long-term, real-world
measurement of physiological and behavioral patterns.
Tactical Communications and Protective System [TCAPS]
Lite.--The Committee is aware that the Army has been updating
standards for issuing the Tactical Communications and
Protective System [TCAPS] Lite to soldiers. This update will
ensure the majority of soldiers who do not carry mobile
tactical radios will be issued TCAPS Lite which minimizes
training and battlefield hearing loss, improves overall
situational awareness and increases mission effectiveness,
safety, and survivability. Therefore, the Department of the
Army is encouraged to complete the update to the standards and
ensure TCAPS Lite is promptly issued to soldiers.
Long-Range Threat Detection.--The Committee recognizes
long-range Deep Ultraviolet Raman Spectroscopy technology
provides effective threat detection of explosives and that this
technology has been extended to chemical warfare agents,
nuclear weapon processing chemicals, narcotics, and hazardous
materials. The Army Research Laboratory is commended for
developing these multiple application, cost-effective sense
systems and is encouraged to continue its research in this
area.
Army Test Ranges and Facilities.--The Committee supports
funds used for delayed maintenance as identified as a high
priority by the Army. Test and evaluation is critical to the
success of warfighters' weapons and equipment, providing them
an unprecedented technological advantage on the battlefield. At
the core of this advantage is the ability of the Department of
the Army to effectively test and retest its weapons systems and
equipment which requires continuing basic maintenance of Army
test ranges and facilities.
Operational Test and Evaluation Support for Yuma Proving
Ground.--The Committee encourages the Army to ensure that test
facilities used for operational testing of equipment for use in
extreme environments have adequate characterization of key
environmental variables (e.g. soil, terrain and vegetation) to
support development of the next generation of military
equipment. Specific efforts should include extended
capabilities for collection, processing, and creation of
environmental information required to increase test efficiency.
Manufacturing Technologies for Nanoscale to Microscale
Materials for Armaments and Munitions.--The Committee
understands that advances in manufacturing using nanoscale and
microscale technologies have the potential to increase the
performance of essential U.S. Army armament and munitions
applications. Technological advancements in the materials,
materials processing, and parts fabrication have the potential

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Large Diameter Unmanned Undersea Vehicle [LDUUV].--The
fiscal year 2017 President's budget request includes
$70,100,000 for continued LDUUV technology research, and
$67,607,000 for the development and design of two LDUUVs. The
Committee notes that following an Analysis of Alternatives in
2013, the Navy approved a Capabilities Development Document and
achieved Milestone A for LDUUV in 2015. In addition, with
submission of the fiscal year 2017 President's budget, the Navy
changed its acquisition strategy from competing among multiple
industry designs to retaining prototype fabrication of two
LDUUVs in-house. The Committee further notes that while the
Navy has not yet defined its autonomous undersea vehicle
requirements, the Navy has projected an inventory of 12 LDUUVs
by 2025.
The Committee recommends full funding of $70,100,000
requested in science and technology for LDUUV technologies, an
increase of $7,900,000 over amounts enacted in fiscal year
2016. In addition, the Committee recommends $24,600,000, as
requested, for LDUUV experimentation, risk reduction and
technology maturation, an increase of $18,000,000 over amounts
enacted in fiscal year 2016. Due to concurrent science and
technology, technology maturation, risk reduction and design
efforts, as well as concerns with the revised acquisition
strategy in light of future LDUUV requirements, the Committee
does not recommend funding for prototype design of two LDUUVs,
a reduction of $43,000,000 from the request.
Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicle [XLUUV].--The fiscal
year 2017 President's budget request includes $78,589,000 in
fiscal year 2017 for the development and deployment of five
XLUUV prototypes and associated technologies. The Committee is
aware of an operational need for an advanced maritime mining
capability and of multiple material solutions under
consideration. The Committee notes the Navy's apparent intent
to sole source acquisition of five XLUUVs while concurrently
leasing vehicles from industry to support the development of
concept of operations and tactics, training and procedures by
the Fleet. The Committee recommends $4,000,000 for the lease of
multiple commercial vehicles for that purpose, as requested.
The Committee recommends no funds for additional activities in
this program element.
Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare Weapon [OASuW].--The fiscal
year 2017 President's budget request includes $250,371,000 for
continued development of OASuW Increment I, and $2,038,000 to
begin development of OASuW Increment II. The Committee notes
that this program was initiated through an accelerated
acquisition in February 2014 in response to a U.S. Pacific
Fleet urgent operational need to provide an early operational
capability on the B-1 in fiscal year 2018 and on the F/A-18E/F
in fiscal year 2019. The Committee further notes that the Navy
recently concluded an updated program cost estimate and that
the Navy's fiscal year 2017 budget request places the OASuW
Increment I early operational capability fielding schedule at
risk by several months. Therefore, the Committee recommends an
additional $50,600,000 for OASuW Increment I, the fiscal year
2017 shortfall identified by the Navy, to maintain the OASuW
Increment I schedule, and recommends no funds to initiate OASuW
Increment II in order to minimize program risk.
P-8A Poseidon.--The fiscal year 2017 President's budget
request includes $182,220,000 for continued development of P-8A
Poseidon Increment III. The Committee notes that recent
estimates put the cost of P-8A Poseidon Increment III at over
$1,000,000,000 and that after the fiscal year 2017 President's
budget request was submitted, the Under Secretary of Defense
(Acquisition, Technology and Logistics) approved, at the Navy's
request, the incorporation of Increment III capabilities into
the P-8A via engineering change proposals [ECPs), instead of
developing these capabilities through a separate acquisition
program.
The Committee understands that under this revised
acquisition strategy the Navy will field Increment III
capabilities in a series of four ECPs, based on technical
maturity. The Committee recommends $76,300,000 for the first
two ECPs, as requested, but notes that the critical enabler for
the remaining two ECPs, the combat systems architecture, is
being developed concurrently with these ECPs. The Committee
finds this concurrent development approach to be high risk, and
recommends $36,000,000 for combat systems architecture
development, as requested, but no funding the last two ECPs of
Increment III, a reduction of $69,900,000 from the request.
MQ-4C Triton.--The fiscal year 2017 President's budget
request includes $111,729,000 for continued development of the
MQ-4C Triton, an increase of $106,500,000 over amounts
previously projected to be required in fiscal year 2017. In
addition, the fiscal year 2017 President's budget request
includes $181,266,000 for modernization of the MQ-4C Triton, an
increase of $51,374,000 over amounts enacted in fiscal year
2016, and $39,800,000 for development of a multi-intelligence
sensor to be incorporated onto MQ-4C Triton during its
modernization. The Committee notes the continued program delays
for both the baseline and modernization programs, including an
extension of baseline System Development and Demonstration
efforts and delays to design reviews for the modernization
program. In addition, the Committee notes the deferral of
certain capabilities from the baseline to the modernization
program. Finally, the Committee understands that the Navy is
considering a potential restructure of the MQ-4C Triton
program. Therefore, the Committee recommends full funding of
the baseline capability, but no increase for MQ-4C Triton
modernization, a reduction of $50,000,000 from the request to
reduce program concurrency. In addition, the Committee notes
that the multi-intelligence sensor development has not been
adjusted to reflect delays to Triton modernization, and
accordingly recommends an $8,200,000 reduction to the request.
Synthetic Biology.--The Committee recognizes the potential
for synthetic biology to enable the manufacture of
pharmaceuticals, fuels, and industrial chemicals using
environmentally low impact and cost effective processes. The
Committee urges the Department of Defense, through the Office
of Naval Research, to support basic research and engineering on
the rapid development of cell-free biosynthesis of commercially
important molecules, by combining high throughput screening
methods, rapid protein production, and computational analysis.
Materials Research.--The Committee urges the Office of
Naval Research to support research and development that
addresses materials homogeneity and integration related to
electronic and photonic technologies. The results of
fundamental electronic and photonic materials research can be
more rapidly translated into military and commercial
applications in portable electronics and displays, such as
sensors, communications systems, power systems, and enemy
monitoring technology.
Navy Aircraft Fleet Readiness and Sustainment.--The
Committee is aware of the Chief of Naval Operations' 2016
``Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority,'' including its
focus on strengthening the Navy team, building new partnerships
and maintaining global superiority in a changing and
challenging environment. The Committee notes that aircraft
fleet readiness and sustainment is a critical component of this
plan, but is concerned about the significant safety and
readiness problems that plague the Navy and Marine Corps F/A-18
fighter jet fleet. The F/A-18 remains operational, yet the
Naval Air Systems Command appears to lack a comprehensive plan
to address the problems that degrade the aircraft. The
Committee recognizes the valuable role university research
institutions can offer to the Navy to address these challenges
and to rapidly respond to new technology requirements with
qualified technologists and engineers, and encourages the Naval
Air Systems Command to partner with university laboratories
that possess leading-edge capabilities in aviation-related
full-scale structures and materials testing and evaluation to
address the structural problems related to the F/A-18 fighter
jet. The Committee further encourages Naval Air Systems Command
to explore establishing a University Affiliated Research Center
partnership with an institution possessing demonstrated
capabilities in enhanced structures and materials, testing and
evaluation that would result in a cost-savings for the
Department of Defense.
Force Protection Applied Research.--The Committee continues
to support Navy efforts in force protection applied research,
and recommends an increase of $15,000,000 for that purpose. The
Committee notes that development and deployment of lithium-ion
batteries are critical to Department of Defense missions, but
that safety incidents restrict their operational use.
Therefore, the Committee believes that the development and
qualification of technologies to reduce the risk of thermal
runaway and improve safety in lithium-ion batteries should be a
research priority. In addition, the Committee remains concerned
over the potential impact of an electrical grid failure on
national security and recommends investments in resilient and
reliable power sources and infrastructure to promote energy
security and mission effectiveness.
Navy Alternative and Renewable Energy Research.--The
Committee recommends an increase of $20,000,000 for Navy
alternative energy research and of $15,000,000 for Navy
renewable energy research. The Committee notes the fiscal and
operational value of investing in alternative energy research,
and encourages the Navy to: expand ocean renewable energy
testing; research development and deployment of 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 facilities. Further, the Committee
encourages the Navy to invest in renewable energy demonstration
activities relating to Department of Defense facilities and
activities in coordination with other Federal agencies and
entities.
Interdisciplinary Cybersecurity Research.--The Committee
notes the significant investment by the Department of Defense
in basic cyber research in recent years. However, the Committee
is concerned that this research does not fully consider the
interdisciplinary nature of cyber systems and excludes
consideration of the role of human behavior. The Committee
encourages the Navy to invest in multidisciplinary research in
the areas of dynamic cyber defense, tactical cyberspace
operations, signals intelligence, and user-in-the-loop testing
and evaluation.
Marine Corps Asset Life Cycle Management.--The Committee
supports the Marine Corps' efforts to substantially reduce
costs associated with routine maintenance through further
research and development in the areas of remanufacturing and
vehicle and behavior monitoring. The Committee encourages the
Office of Naval Research to assign adequate resources to
continue its efforts in this area.
Undersea Weapons Energetics Capabilities.--The Committee
recommends continued investment in the development of advanced
energetics capabilities focused on undersea weapons, and the
development of a database of global energetics materials
activities as they apply to undersea warfare.
Flexible Sea-Based Force Projection.--Future Naval
Capabilities programs include support to sea-based technologies
to support operations that normally rely on shore-based
infrastructure. Flexible sea based force projection
technologies mitigate the impact of operating at sea and enable
cargo transfers, surface connector interfaces and amphibious
vehicle launch and recovery from a variety of both legacy and
emerging platforms in the sea-based environment. These
technologies expand operational availability both within the
seabase and from seabase to shore that is critical in an A2/AD
environment. The Committee recommends continued investment in
these areas.
Naval Power and Energy Systems Technology Development
Roadmap.--The Committee notes the recommendations in the
recently updated Naval Power and Energy Systems Technology
Development Roadmap for development of advanced power
electronics, including silicon carbide power modules, which can
reduce the size and weight of power conversion modules and
other electronic systems needed to power advanced sensors and
weapons systems. The Committee encourages continued investments
in cost reduction initiatives and qualification of silicon
carbide power modules in order to enable planned deployment of
high-power, mission-critical systems on Navy platforms as early
as fiscal year 2022.
Condition-Based Maintenance.--The Committee is aware of the
Navy's continued development and implementation of condition-
based maintenance solutions and notes that such efforts can
provide demonstrable improvements in fleet readiness. The
Committee encourages the Navy to adapt the lessons learned from
Littoral Combat Ships combat systems condition-based
maintenance efforts to other ship classes, to include weapons
systems on DDG-51 Destroyers.
Jet Noise Reduction Development.--The Committee understands
the difficulties near-field and far-field aircraft engine noise
poses for communities surrounding military installations as
well as servicemembers who work in close proximity to military
aircraft. Hearing loss, in particular, is a mounting concern
for servicemembers and veterans who have spent their careers in
and around military aviation. The Committee is aware that the
Navy has long pursued noise reduction solutions for low bypass
military jet engines and is encouraged by the noise reduction
potential of variable exhaust nozzle seal chevron technology
currently being pursued by the F/A-18 and EA-18G Program
Office. The Committee recommends an additional $2,000,000 for
jet noise reduction and urges the Navy to aggressively pursue
research of this technology.
Barking Sands Tactical Underwater Range [BARSTUR].--The
Committee is concerned about the state of readiness and
modernization of tactical test ranges that support undersea
warfare missions, particularly given the state of evolving
global threats in the undersea domain and the advanced age of
some of the Navy's tactical underwater ranges. The Committee
notes that the Barking Sands Tactical Underwater Range
[BARSTUR] is beyond its service life, has degraded capability,
and is beyond repair. The Committee further notes that the
Commander, Submarine Forces, U.S. Pacific Fleet, has documented
concerns that test capabilities in this mission area are not on
a path to support future Navy requirements. Therefore, the
Secretary of the Navy is directed to submit a complete program
execution plan for BARSTUR replacement and modernization to the
congressional defense committees, to include full program
costs, not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of
this act.
U.S. Marine Corps Unmanned Rotary Aircraft.--The Committee
notes the successful deployment to Afghanistan of unmanned
rotary aircraft. The Committee encourages the Marine Corps to
continue to leverage this capability to address capability gaps
identified into the 2016 Marine Corps Aviation Plan.
Electronic Maneuver Warfare [EMW].--The Committee notes the
inclusion and expanded definition of electronic maneuver
warfare [EMW] concepts in the Chief, Naval Operations' 2016
Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority. The Committee
further notes the game changing capabilities electronic
maneuver warfare provides in denied environments, and its
contributions to the Third Offset Strategy. The Committee
believes that continued investments in EMW are warranted and
notes that planning, programming and budgeting for EMW through
the regular budget process provides the greatest level of
insight and stability into the Navy's future requirements and
plan.

Unmanned Aerial Systems [UAS].--The Committee recognizes
that unmanned aerial systems [UAS] used by rogue individuals or
organizations pose an increasing threat to military
installations, weapons systems, and personnel, both in the
United States and overseas. The rapid proliferation of UAS
requires a comprehensive effort by Department of Defense to
combat their use as a weapon. The Committee encourages the Air
Force Research Laboratory to continue research and development
of tactics using radar systems, advanced communications, and
cyber security technologies to counter UAS threats.
Long Range Strike Bomber.--The Committee notes that the Air
Force recently announced the seven subcontractors that will
produce various parts for the bomber program. The Committee
also understands there is additional pressure on the Air Force
to reveal further information, including roles of the
subcontractors and the contract value for the prime contractor.
The Committee recognizes that the value of additional program
transparency must be balanced with the need for security
protection. For example, additional details on the companies
and subcontractors involved with the program could be of
interest to foreign intelligence services for traditional or
cyber espionage efforts. Therefore, the Committee directs the
Inspector General of the Department of Defense to conduct a
review of the security strategy, controls, and program
protection plan and provide an assessment to the congressional
defense committees on the findings not later than 60 days after
enactment of this act. In addition, the Committee designates
the long range strike bomber program as a congressional special
interest item for purposes of transfer of funds and prior
approval reprogramming procedures.
Technology Transfer.--The Committee recognizes the
importance of technology transfer between the Federal
Government and non-Federal entities, such as academia,
nonprofit organizations, and State and local governments.
Technology transfer lowers the cost of new defense-related
technology development and ensures that taxpayer investments in
research and development benefit the economy and the industrial
base. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to
continue placing an increased focus on technology transfer
programs by allocating sufficient funding and leveraging the
work being performed by Federal laboratories.
Air Force Alternative Energy.--The Committee recommends an
additional $20,000,000 for Air Force alternative energy
research. The Committee remains encouraged by the Air Force's
energy conservation and efficiency initiatives, as well as its
investment into promising renewable energy, such as hydrogen
fuel. The Committee urges the Secretary of the Air Force to
continue critical research in this field, including investments
in adaptive engine technologies, biogasification and waste-to-
energy, and other promising initiatives that can reduce the Air
Force's reliance on conventional petroleum.
Adaptive Engine Transition Program [AETP].--The Committee
continues to support research and development in the next
generation of turbine engine technology. The goal of AETP is to
mature fuel efficient adaptive cycle engine technologies while
reducing technical and manufacturing risks. The Committee fully
funds the fiscal year 2017 request and encourages the Air Force
to identify current and future programs for this technology
insertion.
Even though the Committee remains supportive of the
program, the Committee notes that the budget justification for
the program is incomplete and not transparent. While the AETP
program is an early research and development and prototyping
effort, the size and scope of planned investments, nearly
$2,500,000,000 through fiscal year 2021, necessitate the same
level of detail and transparency of an Acquisition Category
[ACAT] 1D or Major Defense Acquisition Program [MDAP].
Therefore, the Committee directs the Air Force to provide more
useful and complete R-2A, R-3, and R-4 budget justification
documents in future budget requests, starting in fiscal year
2018, for the AETP program.
Ground Based Strategic Deterrent.--In fiscal year 2017, the
Air Force will begin competitive risk reduction of flight
systems technologies as well as maturation of the weapon system
preliminary design with the intent to decrease integration
risk. The Committee commends the Air Force in transitioning to
a leaner acquisition strategy early in the program's design
phase that focuses on risk reduction of the entire, integrated
system. The Committee believes addressing the biggest risks
early in the program, while still in competition, will result
in overall cost savings and align the program for success. In
support of this new strategy, the Committee fully funds the
fiscal year 2017 request.
Multi-Intelligence Data Fusion.--The Committee understands
that the Air Force Common Data Link Executive Agent program
provides the Department of Defense standard for interoperable,
multi-service, multi-agency, Intelligence, Surveillance, and
Reconnaissance [ISR] datalinks for more than 10,000 manned and
unmanned airborne and ground collection platforms. The
Committee encourages the Air Force to develop technologies and
standards to integrate collected data across these multiple
collection platforms to increase the efficiency and
effectiveness of intelligence analysis and battlefield
decisionmaking.
Long Range Stand-Off Weapon.--The fiscal year 2017 budget
request includes $95,604,000 for the Long Range Standoff
Weapon. The Committee continues to support the Air Force's
program to develop a follow-on capability to the Air Launched
Cruise Missile and recommends fully funding the request. The
Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to cooperate with
the Secretary of Energy, in conjunction with the Nuclear
Weapons Council, on a report to the Committees on
Appropriations of both the House and Senate on the W80 warhead
and the Long Range Standoff Weapon, as delineated in Senate
Report 114-236.
Advanced Pilot Training Program.--The fiscal year 2017
budget request includes $12,377,000 to develop the Advanced
Trainer Replacement to replace the T-38 aircraft and the
associated ground-based training system. The average age of T-
38 aircraft is nearly 50 years and the fleet is reaching the
end of its third service life. The Committee fully funds the
fiscal year 2017 budget request and encourages the Air Force's
Air Education and Training Command to accelerate Initial
Operational Capability as the program moves forward.
Separately, the Navy and the Air Force's Air Combat Command
[ACC], who also operate T-38 aircraft, should leverage the
Advanced Pilot Training Program. The Committee directs the
Secretary of the Navy and the Commander of Air Combat Command
to provide a business case analysis to congressional defense
committees not later than 120 days after enactment of this act
to begin considering alternatives for replacing their aging T-
38 trainers and adversary aircraft.
F-15 Survivability.--The Committee supports the fiscal year
2017 request for the F-15 Eagle Passive/Active Warning and
Survivability System [EPAWSS] program. The F-15 EPAWSS program
is critical to the survivability and lethality of the fleet to
counter current and future electronic warfare threats. Given
the strategic importance of the program for homeland defense
and overseas contingencies, the Committee encourages the Air
Force to review its plan and funding through fiscal year 2021
to fully equip Air National Guard F-15 aircraft with EPAWSS.
Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System
[JSTARS].--The fiscal year 2017 budget request includes
$128,019,000 for the JSTARS recapitalization program, of which
$102,800,000 supports a new radar risk reduction phase to
mature two competing radars over an 18-month period through the
end of fiscal year 2017. The Department of Defense [DOD]
revised the JSTARS recapitalization program schedule, delaying
the start of the Engineering and Manufacturing Development
[EMD] phase to fiscal year 2018, extending the EMD phase from
four to five and a half years, and delaying initial operational
capability [IOC] to 2024 and full operational capability [FOC]
to 2028.
In the reports accompanying the Senate versions of the
Department of Defense Appropriations Acts, 2015 and 2016
(Senate Reports 113-211 and 114-63), the Committee voiced its
support of the JSTARS recapitalization program and directed the
Air Force to accelerate the acquisition schedule. The JSTARS
recapitalization program is necessary to replace an aging, low
density, and high demand E8-C fleet. From the outset, the
recapitalization program was primarily intended to be an
integration effort of mature technologies onto an existing
platform to achieve the most cost-effective and low risk
solution. Instead, the DOD has delayed EMD and requested
additional funds for radar risk reduction. The Committee
believes there is less risk related to available systems and
mature technologies and that the greater programmatic risk
associated with integration of the radar and battle management,
command, and control system onto a new aircraft be addressed
earlier in the program.
The Committee notes that the fiscal year 2017 request for
JSTARS recapitalization does not support a timely fielding
acquisition strategy. Therefore, the Committee directs that
$102,800,000 of the request for radar risk reduction only be
used to fund the EMD contract award or support the EMD source
selection process. The Committee directs the Secretary of the
Air Force and the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition,
Technology, and Logistics to provide a briefing to the
congressional defense committees not later than 90 days after
enactment of this act on a compressed acquisition schedule and
funding profile to achieve IOC and FOC as early as possible.
F-16 Modernization.--The Committee understands that the
advance of threats on U.S. aircraft have increased to a level
where the F-16 struggles to maintain air superiority. The
Committee further notes that without a funding plan to
modernize the F-16 fleet, which will remain in the inventory
for 15-20 additional years, the aircraft will be at a serious
disadvantage when operating against both air-to-air and
surface-to-air threats. Therefore, the Committee encourages the
Air Force to ensure that the F-16 fleet is modernized
appropriately to maintain air superiority against current and
future threats.
Simulation Training.--The Committee supports the Department
of Defense's continued expansion of the full range of
simulation training as a cost-effective means by which the
military can improve tactical decision-making skills in
realistic scenarios only found in theater combat operations.
The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to continue
developing and supporting efficient simulation training
programs through a combination of both government-owned and
operated simulators, as well as support from industry that can
provide frequent hardware and software updates.
Arctic Domain Awareness.--The Committee remains concerned
with the pace of needed development in the arctic region and
specifically with arctic domain awareness. The Committee
understands that the Department is still drafting a report that
was due to the congressional defense committees in June 2015
outlining a plan to ensure arctic domain awareness coverage for
the foreseeable future. The Committee directs the Secretary of
Defense to submit the report as soon as possible, to include an
assessment of the satellite communications capability in the
region and potential to partner with Canada on the Canadian
Weather Satellite mission.

SPACE PROGRAMS

Weather Satellite Follow-On.--The Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113) recommended that
the Secretary of the Air Force focus resources on ensuring that
the next generation of weather satellites meet the full
spectrum of warfighter and intelligence requirements, and work
with civil stakeholders to ensure that any other weather
coverage gaps are met using appropriate civil or international
weather assets. While the Air Force is moving forward with
plans to meet key weather requirements with its Compact Ocean
Wind Vector Radiometer technology demonstration and ultimately
the Weather Satellite Follow-On, electro-optical/infrared needs
for cloud characterization and weather forecasting,
particularly in the CENTCOM theater of operations, are not
addressed in the 2017 budget request. International partners
have assisted in filling some coverage gaps, but as previously
noted by the Committee, these are not long-term solutions and
do not solve all coverage gaps. The Committee directs the
Secretary of the Air Force to examine the possibility of using
commercial weather data to supplement existing assets and fill
coverage gaps in cloud characterization and weather
forecasting. Additionally, the Committee again recommends that
the Secretary of the Air Force work with military, civil,
commercial, and international stakeholders to ensure that all
warfighter and intelligence weather requirements are met with a
long-term solution.
Operationally Responsive Space.--The Committee recommends
that the Operationally Responsive Space program continue
research, development, and educational programs in launching
small satellites designed and built by university students.
These efforts can both advance state-of-the-art technology and
help build the technological workforce needed in our space
industry.
Global Positioning System III Operational Control
Segment.--The budget request for fiscal year 2017 includes
$393,268,000 for the GPS III Operational Control Segment [OCX].
This ground system promises to provide improved accuracy,
security, and anti-jamming protection and allow integration of
the new GPS III satellites with the legacy GPS IIF
constellation. In the Department of Defense Appropriations Act,
2016 (Public Law 114-113), Congress raised concerns about
development delays, so excessive that the OCX system will not
be available for several years after the Air Force begins
launching GPS III satellites. This has prompted the Air Force
to contract for an interim solution to upgrade the current
Operational Control System [OCS] ground system so that GPS III
satellites can be integrated into the legacy architecture and
operate as GPS IIFs. However, this interim solution will not
enable all the capabilities of three generations of
satellites--IIR-M, IIF, and IIIs--including Military code [M-
code] capability, a key warfighting need.
As the Air Force embarks on this interim solution, the OCX
program remains in jeopardy. After several pauses,
reassessments, and a joint Office of the Secretary of Defense
and Air Force deep dive effort to address the root causes of
the program failures, the feasibility of meeting a new 2-year
schedule remains in question. Moreover, the program cost is now
expected to be $2,300,000,000, a 160-percent increase over the
original estimate of $886,000,000.
The Government Accountability Office [GAO] reported that as
of March 2016, after the deep dive, the program was continuing
to experience significant technical challenges, part of a long
historical pattern that has contributed to multiple delays and
cost overruns. The GAO also questioned the 2-year additional
schedule delay, nothing that the contractor and Air Force
believed that a more than 4-year additional delay was likely
necessary.
The Committee is concerned that the program cannot correct
course and meet the new schedule. Further delays and problems
in the OCX program will only delay the operation of GPS III
replenishment satellites and risk national security. The
Committee believes the Air Force should work with the
contractor to ensure that OCX Block 0, which will enable launch
and checkout of GPS III satellites, is completed, and turn its
focus toward ensuring that the interim OCS solution succeeds,
on schedule and on budget.
The Committee, therefore, reduces funding for the OCX
program by $259,830,000, terminating Blocks 1 and 2. The
Committee recommends funding for completion of Block 0 and adds
$30,000,000 for enhancements to the OCS ground system that will
enable M-code broadcast capabilities and ensure that our
warfighters have this necessary capability in the most timely
manner possible.
Space Fence.--The Committee commends the Air Force for its
execution of the Space Fence program and for recognition of the
program by the Government Accountability Office as one of the
few space programs currently on schedule and on budget. The
program plans to complete installation, checkout, and test of
the first radar site in fiscal year 2017 and deliver an initial
operating capability in 2018 to dramatically improve
identification and tracking of space objects. However, the Air
Force has not yet moved forward on the second radar site, which
will be essential for full operational capability. Therefore,
the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to conduct
an analysis and report to the congressional defense committees,
not later than 180 days after enactment of this act, on the
requirements, site options, and necessary timelines for
construction and integration of Space Fence site 2 into the
Space Surveillance Network to maximize the cost effectiveness
of site 2 procurement and support the necessary improvements
for geostationary orbit coverage.

Quantum Computing.--The Committee is aware of the National
Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST] report on quantum
computing technology. Additionally, the Committee is conscious
of the work done by the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency [DARPA] in the Quantum Information Science and
Technology [QuIST] program to establish the first quantum key
distribution network. The Committee believes more research and
development by our defense national research organizations is
warranted. The Committee encourages the Director of DARPA and
the Secretary of Defense to work with the research labs to
implement a university-based cybersecurity laboratory and
photonics foundry with close involvement with industry
partners, State government and the Federal Government to
continue development of quantum computing capability.
High Energy Laser.--The Committee is concerned with the
funding levels for the primary test and evaluation facility for
high energy laser [HEL] systems across the Department of
Defense. With directed energy interest and work increasing in
the third offset strategy, the Committee recommends the
Department review the funding levels, identify, and correct
shortfalls as necessary.
Defense Innovation Unit-Experimental office [DIUX].--The
Committee recommends $28,000,000 for the Defense Technology
Innovation program to strengthen and build relationships with
Silicon Valley technology firms with expertise in technology
innovation. The Committee understands this is a high priority
program for the Secretary of Defense. In order to insure
visibility and transparency of the execution of these funds,
the Committee requests quarterly updates on the Defense
Innovation Unit-Experimental office and their efforts in
leveraging innovation for the Department of Defense.
Manufacturing Technology Program.--The Committee
understands that metal castings play a significant role in
ensuring Warfighter preparedness and that investment is needed
in castings technology to maintain technological superiority in
this advanced manufacturing industry. Therefore, the Committee
recommends an additional $10,000,000 to support this program.
Cloud-based Information Technology Solutions.--The
Committee is encouraged by the Department Chief Information
Officer's decision to pursue commercial, cloud-based solutions
and systems. However, the Department of Defense Inspector
General report (Report No. DODIG-2016-038) identified several
concerns. The Committee directs the Department Chief
Information Officer to complete a report and submit it to the
congressional defense committees 120 days after enactment of
this act. This report shall include current plans for the
expansion of commercial cloud computing to leverage paying for
only the services consumed, plans for developing security
guidelines that encourage partnerships with commercial cloud
providers, any factors delaying or inhibiting the expansion of
commercial cloud computing usage, and the cost savings achieved
in fiscal year 2016 by the utilization of commercial cloud
computing services.
Conventional Prompt Global Strike.--The Committee supports
the Department of Defense program to develop and demonstrate
technologies that advance the conventional prompt global strike
capability. The Committee is aware of ongoing test review
efforts and understands that the Department of Defense plans to
complete additional testing in the near term. The Committee
further notes that Congress has appropriated $1,073,276,000
through fiscal year 2016 and the Committee recommends
$101,303,000 in fiscal year 2017, a $12,643,000 increase above
fiscal year 2016 enacted amounts. The Committee encourages the
Department of Defense to maintain the currently programmed
funding profile of $881,620,000 from fiscal years 2018 through
2020, given the strategic importance of the program, and urges
the Department of Defense to finalize manufacturing and testing
of the hypersonic glide body and booster.
Trusted Microelectronics Development and Support.--The
Committee is concerned with maintaining supply chain assurance
against counterfeit parts and ensuring ready access to trusted
microelectronics. In April 2016, the Department of Defense and
Global Foundries agreed to a 3-year procurement strategy for
trusted parts; the Committee does not have confidence in the
long-term roadmap to establish a future trusted
microelectronics solution. While the fiscal year 2017 budget
request includes $47,800,000 to establish a new trust approach
in this arena, the Committee is concerned with this
insufficient level of funding and the time needed to validate
potential solutions. Therefore, the Committee directs the
Secretary of Defense to provide a quarterly updates on efforts
to maintain a trusted microelectronics capability within the
United States.
Unmanned Aircraft System [UAS] Common Development.--The
Committee notes the designation by the Federal Aviation
Administration [FAA] of the UAS national test sites and
selection of the FAA UAS Center of Excellence to expand the use
of UAS in the National Airspace System [NAS]. The Committee
recognizes that research activities will lead to policies and
standards governing future domestic UAS operations, including
Department of Defense operations. The Committee recommends an
additional $4,000,000 for Unmanned Aircraft System Common
Development and urges the Secretary of Defense to coordinate
with the Administrator of Federal Aviation Administration in
the development and demonstration of common UAS standards,
architectures and technologies to ensure a consistent,
nationwide approach to airspace integration across both civil
and public sectors.
Department of Defense Small Business Innovation Research
[SBIR].--The Committee recognizes the importance of the Small
Business Innovation Research [SBIR] program and its success in
commercialization from federally funded research and
development projects. The SBIR program creates opportunities
for domestic small businesses to engage in Federal research and
development in an effort to create new jobs and markets for
advanced technologies. The Committee encourages the Department
of Defense to continue placing an increased focus on firms new
to the SBIR program and those companies that employ fewer than
50 people. The Committee also believes that SBIR should provide
resources to assist these firms, especially in the area of
government contracting and business accounting. The Committee
believes the Department of the Navy's SBIR program is a
successful model, especially the Navy Program Executive Office
Submarine, which could be used as a benchmark for SBIRs
programs across the Department of Defense enterprise.
Office of Personnel Management [OPM] Breach.--The Committee
supports the Department of Defense's request of $75,000,000 for
the Federal Investigative Services Information Technology
program to develop a new database to respond to the theft of
Federal workers personal data as a result of the security
breach at OPM. The Committee encourages the Secretary of
Defense to invest in a new Background Investigation Information
Technology System to ensure that the privacy and personal data
of Federal employees is protected from current and future
vulnerabilities. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense
to provide quarterly updates on the future technology
development program and its follow on acquisition effort.
Sustained-Release Drug Delivery.--The Committee is aware of
ongoing efforts to develop technologies to enable ultra-long
acting pharmacokinetics to respond to threats and improve
individual readiness and total force health protection. The
Committee encourages the Defense Advanced Research Projects
Agency [DARPA] to prioritize research into delivery systems to
increase access to treatment though the development of long-
acting oral therapies to improve healthcare access, delivery,
and outcomes. A system that could administer therapies once
monthly to once every 6 months would greatly improve patient
adherence and optimize the pharmacokinetics of therapies
currently provided once or more per day. Oral long-acting
therapies are particularly advantageous in resource-constrained
environments and likely to include significant operational,
logistics, and cost benefits.
Cybersecurity Research Automated Cyber Exploitation and
Defense.--The Committee is concerned that current approaches to
identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities in software and systems
are largely manual, slow and costly, and leave our military and
intelligence systems at risk. The Committee recognizes the
value of automated exploit generation and vulnerability
identification technologies for rapidly identifying security-
critical vulnerabilities in off-the-shelf systems, such as
those exemplified in the Cyber Grand Challenge. Therefore, the
Committee directs funding within the Cyber Security Research
program to support research in automated exploit generation,
exploit hardening, and vulnerability identification
capabilities of systems when source code is not available, and
to focus on implementation, integration, and software tooling.
Secure Networks of Systems.--The Committee recognizes that
the Department's aircraft, ships, submarines, vehicles, and
energy systems are computer-networked systems of systems that
are increasingly autonomous in these complex systems. Every
piece of software, hardware, and network is a potential
cybersecurity attack point. The Committee notes that attackers
will target all components to achieve their objective, and that
effective defenses require interdisciplinary expertise in
cybersecurity offense and defense in hardware, software,
networks, and autonomous systems covering both traditional
computing devices and cyber-physical systems that interact with
the physical world. Therefore, the Committee directs the
Secretary of Defense to use funds previously appropriated in
the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law
114-113) within the Defense Technology Analysis program to
support institutions with strong cybersecurity, cyber-physical,
and networks of systems research programs that will develop
methods to identify vulnerabilities in large networked systems,
rapidly prototype and build security prototypes and tools, and
with institutional capabilities to transfer basic research into
Department of Defense mission areas and platforms.
Cyber Data Protection.--As a result of the recent OPM
breach, the Committee is concerned with threats accessing
classified data and personally identifiable information [PII].
The Committee is concerned that traditional network defense
actions are insufficient to protect data assets from
unauthorized or malicious access, manipulation, destruction,
and exfiltration. Therefore, the Committee directs the
Secretary of Defense to undertake a comprehensive review of
classified systems and systems that have PII information, and
validate that protection measures are in place to insure data
integrity and appropriate access. The review should include an
examination of measures to defeat deletion and exfiltration.
Not more than 30 days after completing the review, the
Secretary of Defense shall report to the congressional defense
committees on the findings.
Third Offset and Federally Funded Research and Development
Centers.--The Committee recognizes that many government
Federally Funded Research and Development Centers [FFRDCs] are
developing cutting-edge technology that could be used for
defense purposes in support of the Secretary of Defense's Third
Offset Strategy. The research and development investments being
conducted by many FFRDCs, including the national security labs,
are often classified or include contract work with small
businesses that are accustomed to working with the Department
of Defense and other government agencies. As the Department of
Defense works to support the acceleration of the fielding or
commercialization of offset technologies to counter the
technological advantage of potential adversaries, the Committee
urges the Department of Defense to include FFRDCs in its offset
strategy and to commit to increased partnerships with FFRDCs
and the small businesses which support them.
Robotic Servicing of Geostationary Satellites.--The
Committee supports the Defense Advanced Research Project
Agency's [DARPA] efforts to work with industry to develop and
demonstrate robotic satellite servicing technologies in
geostationary orbit. DARPA's work is complementary to the
National Aeronautics and Space Administration [NASA] Restore-L
mission to demonstrate robotic satellite servicing in low Earth
orbit [LEO]. NASA's Restore-L and DARPA's planned Robotic
Servicing of Geostationary Satellites [RSGS] will both
demonstrate key technologies and enable a commercially provided
sustained servicing capability to inspect, repair, relocate and
add payloads to satellites. The Committee is hopeful that
NASA's Restore-L, RSGS and the subsequent commercial partners
will foster a more capable and resilient space architecture for
the U.S. Government and U.S. commercial satellite industry.

MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY

Integrated Master Test Plan.--The fiscal year 2017
President's budget request includes $1,232,784,000 for Missile
Defense Agency [MDA] test events, an increase of $82,526,000
over amounts enacted in fiscal year 2016. The Committee
recognizes the importance of a fully integrated test program to
MDA's mission and continues to support a robust test program to
credibly demonstrate and validate the ballistic missile defense
system performance. Therefore, the Committee is concerned by
MDA's proposal to defer the operational test for the Ground-
based Midcourse Defense System until fiscal year 2018, and
recommends an additional $24,400,000 to accelerate that flight
test, FTG-11, into fiscal year 2017, as previously planned.
Further, the Committee is concerned by the continued
volatility in MDA's test schedule, and the discrepancies
between planned and actually executed test events. The
Committee understands that numerous factors can impact the
execution of test events in any given year, but strongly
believes that a stronger synchronization between allocation of
budgetary resources and management of the test plan would lead
to greater stability, demonstrated performance and cost
savings. The Committee notes that 3 months after submission of
the fiscal year 2017 President's budget, the final Integrated
Master Test Plan had not been approved. The Committee directs
that not more than 75 percent for funds requested for testing
in fiscal year 2017 may be obligated or expended until the
Director, Missile Defense Agency, in conjunction with the
Director, Operational Test and Evaluation, submits a plan to
the congressional defense committees delineating steps to
ensure greater synchronization between the budget and the
Integrated Master Test Plan.
Redesigned Kill Vehicle [RKV].--The fiscal year 2017
President's budget request includes $181,900,000 for continued
development of the Redesigned Kill Vehicle. The Committee
recommends full funding of this request and notes its previous
strong support for this program. The Committee notes that with
submission of the fiscal year 2017 President's budget, the
Missile Defense Agency [MDA] changed its acquisition strategy
for the RKV from a deliberately sequenced acquisition using
research and development and procurement funding to a schedule-
driven acquisition using only research and development funding
and incremental funding authorities. Based on past experience,
the Committee has significant concerns with this approach as it
eschews best acquisition practices and relinquishes
transparency, auditability, accountability, and affordability
for the sake of expedience.
In addition, the Committee notes MDA's stated intent to
compete follow-on production of the RKV, but questions MDA's
ability to do so given the significant number of RKVs MDA plans
to award with existing contract vehicles, to include seven
Inert Operating Kill Vehicles, three test articles, and eight
initial production RKVs. The Committee notes that the purpose
of initial production is to establish an initial production
base for a system and to provide an efficient ramp to full rate
production, and is concerned that the RKV acquisition strategy
jeopardizes this by delaying the transition to full rate
production through competition.
The Committee supports the development of seven Inert
Operating Kill Vehicles, three test articles and no more than
four initial production RKVs, consistent with previously
established thresholds for initial production. The Committee
does not support the use of research and development funds for
additional RKV production rounds. To support transition to
competition for the RKV, the Committee recommends $50,000,000
in Procurement, Defense-wide above the budget request only for
RKV advanced procurement and expects MDA to program procurement
funds for RKV production accordingly.
Directed Energy.--The fiscal year 2017 President's budget
request includes $23,744,000 for the competitive development of
two prototype airborne laser demonstrator platforms with a
flight demonstration planned by fiscal year 2020. The Committee
notes the potential ability of directed energy concepts to
augment the kinetic capability of the ballistic missile defense
system and recommends full funding for this effort. However,
the Committee is aware of the size, weight and power challenges
of integrating a laser onto an airborne platform, as well as of
questions surrounding the concept of operations of such a
platform. Therefore, the Committee directs that funds be
limited to this demonstrator effort only, and that no funds may
be obligated or expended for follow-on development efforts or
programs.
SM-3 Block IIA Interceptor.--The fiscal year 2017
President's budget request includes $254,700,000 for the
continued manufacturing of seventeen SM-3 Block IIA
interceptors as well as $213,300,000 for continued SM-3 Block
IIA development and $106,038,000 for SM-3 Block IIA co-
development with the Government of Japan. The Committee notes
that since the previous budget request, programmed costs for
manufacturing of the initial SM-3 Block IIA interceptors have
increased 40 percent and costs for SM-3 Block IIA development
have increased 29 percent. Further, delivery of SM-3 Block IIA
interceptors has been delayed by over three fiscal quarters,
resulting in at least one missed flight test.
As previously stated in Senate Report 114-63 and in Senate
Report 113-211, the Committee has grave reservations with MDA's
acquisition approach for SM-3 Block IIA interceptors and its
inability to control costs for this program, which are in
direct contradiction to MDA's stated goals of ``getting ahead
of the cost curve,'' as the Director, MDA testified before the
Committee. The Committee recognizes the importance of the SM-3
Block IIA to the European Phased Adaptive Approach and
continues to support the program; however, the Committee
believes that greater acquisition rigor is required to contain
program costs and manage the industrial base, which produces
the SM-3 Block IIA interceptor concurrently with the SM-3 Block
IB interceptor. Therefore, the Committee directs the Director,
Missile Defense Agency, in coordination with the Assistant
Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development and Acquisition),
to provide with the fiscal year 2018 President's budget request
an acquisition objective for the SM-3 Block IB and Block IIA
programs, as well as a report on steps taken by MDA and the
Department of the Navy to control costs while improving program
performance.
Availability of Solid Rocket Motors for Testing.--The
Committee notes the Missile Defense Agency's reliance on solid
rocket motors [SRM] for target vehicles used in tests and is
concerned with potential cost increases for these motors.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of the
Air Force (Acquisition) in conjunction with the Director,
Missile Defense Agency [MDA], to provide a report to the
congressional defense committees, not later than 90 days after
enactment of this act, detailing costs of refurbished strategic
solid rocket motors for MDA target vehicles and evaluating
options to control costs. The report should include an
evaluation of the potential development of a modern first stage
solid rocket motor for use in these targets and disclose
whether such a development could lower the cost of future
target vehicles, strengthen the strategic SRM industrial base
and reduce risk in the Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent
program.

Meals Ready-to-Eat.--The Committee recommends full funding
for the Defense Logistics Agency's request of 2.5 million cases
of Meals Ready to Eat and reaffirms its support for the War
Reserve stock objective of 5.0 million cases and the minimum
sustainment rate for the industrial base.
Commissary Funding.--The Committee recognizes the
significant and lasting benefits that commissaries provide in
support of servicemembers and their families. Commissaries help
promote healthy base communities by guaranteeing access to
fresh foods, including fruits and vegetables, at low prices to
military families. Better nutrition and food choices are the
first steps toward improved health outcomes and lower
healthcare costs. Commissaries also help military families
stretch their budgets and provide stable employment for
servicemembers' families and veterans.
It is understood that the Department of Defense would like
to make commissaries more self-sustaining. The Committee
supports finding efficiencies to lower the operational cost of
commissaries, and is willing to review and consider new ways to
administer the commissaries. However, any reduction should not
impact hours of service, the number of stores, or savings to
customers. The Committee strongly believes that commissaries
must be kept open, affordable, and accessible to military
families.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED ADJUSTMENTS

The following table details the adjustments recommended by
the Committee:

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 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 fifteen
days after such a transfer. 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 2017, 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 2016 designated
carryover funds to the congressional defense committees not
less than 30 days prior to executing the carryover funds.
Electronic Health Record.--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 appreciates the Department's improvements in
providing information on prior year budgets and expenditures on
its electronic health record as well as an equivalent level of
detail for the fiscal year 2017 budget request. The Committee
directs the Program Executive Officer [PEO] for the Defense
Healthcare Management Systems Modernization [DHMSM] program 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. These reports should also include the
following: (1) any changes to the deployment timeline,
including benchmarks, for full operating capability; (2) any
refinements to the cost estimate for full operating capability
and the total life cycle cost of the project; (3) an assurance
that the acquisition strategy will comply with the acquisition
rules, requirements, guidelines, and systems acquisition
management practices of the Federal Government; (4) the status
of the effort to achieve interoperability between the
electronic health record systems of the Department of Defense
and the Department of Veterans Affairs, including the scope,
cost, schedule, mapping to health data standards, and
performance benchmarks of the interoperable record; and (6) the
progress toward developing, implementing, and fielding the
interoperable electronic health record throughout the two
Departments' medical facilities. 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. Given that full deployment of the
new electronic health record is not scheduled until fiscal year
2022, the Committee expects the Department to continue working
on interim modifications and enhancements to the current system
to improve interoperability in the short-term.
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.
Finally, the Committee directs the Interagency Program
Office 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.
Traumatic Brain Injury [TBI]/Psychological Health.--The
Committee recommends $60,000,000 above the fiscal year 2017
budget request for continued research into treatment,
prevention, and detection 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. The Committee is also aware of advances in diagnostic
and mapping tools developed to better understand the cellular
extent of TBI. These advances could lead to more effective
protective gear that minimizes or eliminates the damage
associated with TBI, and the Committee encourages the
Department to continue its research in these areas.
Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program.--The Committee
recommends $300,000,000 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, amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis, antimicrobial resistance, arthritis, autism,
burn pit exposure, chronic migraine and post-traumatic
headache, congenital heart disease, constrictive bronchiolitis,
diabetes, diarrheal diseases, dystonia, early trauma thermal
regulation, eating disorders, emerging infectious diseases,
focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, Fragile X, Guillain-Barre
syndrome, gulf war illness, hearing restoration, hepatitis B
and C, hereditary angioedema, hydrocephalus, immunomonitoring
of intestinal implants, inflammatory bowel diseases, influenza,
integrative medicine, interstitial cystitis, malaria, metals
toxicology, mitochondrial disease, multiple sclerosis,
musculoskeletal disorders, nanomaterials for bone regeneration,
neurofibromatosis, non-opioid pain management, orthopedics,
pancreatitis, Parkinson's, pathogen-inactivated dried
cryoprecipitate, polycystic kidney disease, post-traumatic
osteoarthritis, pulmonary fibrosis, reconstructive
transplantation, respiratory health, Rett syndrome, rheumatoid
arthritis, scleroderma, sleep disorders, spinal cord injury,
spinal muscular atrophy, sustained-release drug delivery,
tinnitus, tuberculosis, tuberous sclerosis complex, vaccine
development for infectious disease, 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.
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 $60,000,000 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: brain cancer, colorectal cancer,
immunotherapy, kidney cancer, listeria-based regimens for
cancer, liver cancer, melanoma, mesothelioma, neuroblastoma,
pancreatic cancer, pediatric brain tumors, 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.
The Committee commends the Department for ensuring that
projects funded through the various peer-reviewed cancer
research programs maintain a focus on issues of significance to
military populations and the warfighter. This includes
promoting collaborative research proposals between Department
of Defense researchers and non-military research institutions.
These collaborations leverage the knowledge, infrastructure,
and access to clinical populations that the partners bring to
the research effort. Additionally, promoting these
collaborations provides a valuable recruitment and retention
incentive for military medical and research personnel. The
Committee encourages the Department to emphasize the importance
of these collaborations between military and non-military
researchers throughout the peer-review process.
Collaboration on Cancer Research.--The Committee recognizes
that the close cooperation between the John P. Murtha Cancer
Center at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and the
Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) has enabled
partnerships which allow access to cancer tissue repositories
and shareable data to improve the treatment and outcomes of
patients in the military health system. These partnerships will
further advance research through the enhanced use of patient
data derived from large patient studies that include long-term
health records, specimen repositories and collaborations
involving major academic cancer centers. The Committee strongly
encourages increased support to allow for rapid enrollment of
patients and collaboration on research initiatives toward the
goal of enhanced cancer treatment for all service members and
their families.
Orthotics and Prosthetics Outcomes Research.--The Committee
recommends $10,000,000 in support of orthotics and prosthetics
outcomes research. The focus of this research should be on
outcomes-based best practices through analysis of the merits of
clinical options currently available, not on the development or
improvement of new and existing technology. 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 peer-
reviewed projects that receive funding. The report should
include the funding amount awarded to each project and the
anticipated effect on patient care.
Advanced Orthopedic Surgical Training.--The Committee
encourages the Department of Defense to provide advanced
surgical training in arthroscopic techniques from within
appropriated funds. The Defense Health Agency is encouraged to
partner with medical professional societies that maintain best
practices relating to orthopedic procedures, including
orthopedic training protocols and learning centers.
Collaboration on Medical Research.--The Committee
understands that the Department is continuing to work with the
National Institutes of Health [NIH] on furthering a pilot
program to share Department of Defense research data into
Federal Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools Expenditures
and Results [RePORTER]. The Committee continues to support this
effort to share medical research data across Federal agencies
and encourages the Department to require its use across the
services to ensure all Department research data is entered into
Federal RePORTER. Additionally, the Department should provide
appropriate resources, both in amount and type of
appropriation, in future budget submissions to carry out this
effort.
In fiscal year 2015, the Committee directed the Department
to contract with the Institute of Medicine to evaluate the
Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program and provide a
report to the congressional defense committees within 12
months. This report will include an evaluation of the
Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program's two-tiered
peer review process, its coordination of research priorities
with NIH and recommendations for how the process can be
improved. The Committee is aware that work on this report is
ongoing and looks forward to receiving the report as part of
its efforts to continue to ensure that government investments
in medical research are maximized.
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 Government Accountability Office [GAO] review of this
issue found that progress is being made regarding the annual
reporting of mental health professional staffing needs.
However, GAO also noted that the services need to accurately
report any additional measures used to supplement the
Psychological Health Risk-Adjusted Model for Staffing [PHRAMS]
as well as report their PHRAMS-generated estimates in the
requirements fields of the Defense Health Agency's [DHA]
quarterly mental health staffing reports.
The Committee encourages the Assistant Secretary of Defense
(Health Affairs), the Director of the Defense Health Agency,
and the Service Surgeons General to continue to work together
to ensure annual estimates of mental health professionals meet
the needs of all beneficiaries in the military health system.
In addition, the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health
Affairs) is directed to prepare as part of DHA's fiscal year
2018 budget submission a review of these estimates as well as
an outline of current challenges in recruiting and retaining
mental health professionals by the Department of Defense.
Brain Tissue Repository.--The Committee applauds the
Department's recent efforts in advancing the study and
treatment of traumatic brain injury 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. In fiscal year 2015, the Committee directed the
Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to provide a
report outlining strategies for overcoming roadblocks to post-
mortem brain donation in the military. The Committee has
received this report and appreciates the progress that the
Department is making with Organ Procurement Organizations and
the National Disease Research Interchange to increase
donations. The Committee encourages the Department to continue
these efforts to advance research to improve the protection and
care of servicemembers.
Operation Live Well, Healthy Base Initiative, and Total
Force Fitness.--The Committee understands that there is
considerable evidence of an emerging nutrition problem within
the Armed Forces. A November 2015 report by the Army Surgeon
General, ``Health of the Force,'' found that nutrition has a
direct bearing on readiness. Additionally, a September 2014
report by Mission Readiness, ``Retreat is Not an Option,''
found that the military spends over $1,000,000,000 per year to
treat weight-related health problems through TRICARE. Another
report found that the Navy is losing between $200,000,000 and
$300,000,000 in annual training investments because sailors
fail to pass physical fitness tests.
To address this and other health issues, the Committee has
appropriated $3,000,000 each year since fiscal year 2014 to
advance the Department's Healthy Base Initiative [HBI] pilot
program and Total Force Fitness [TFF] Program. These
initiatives have shown the potential to dramatically enhance
recruitment, retention, readiness and resilience for the entire
military community by improving and expanding healthier food
offerings across all bases, including mission dining
facilities, morale, welfare and recreation programs, exchange
food offerings, and commissaries.
Going forward, these efforts will be part of the Operation
Live Well program, which has subsumed both HBI and TFF, and
will continue its focus on healthy options while paying
particular attention to those service personnel and their
families living off of military installations. The Committee
again recommends an additional $3,000,000 to support these
initiatives. It also notes that the Department has established
the Office of the Executive Director, Force Resiliency, within
the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and
Readiness, to oversee these efforts.
Reconstructive Transplantation.--Reconstructive
transplantation is a rapidly growing discipline that greatly
benefits from collaboration among institutions, surgeons, and
investigators working to improve the lives of servicemembers
who suffer significant injuries due to combat related injuries
often caused by improvised explosive devices. The Department's
continued research into reconstructive transplantation will
allow surgeons and investigators to refine approaches for hand,
face and other vascularized composite tissue allografts
including the transplants of skin, muscle, tendon, nerves,
bone, and blood vessels. The Committee strongly supports the
basic, translational and clinical research needed to improve
access to reconstructive transplants and state-of-the-art
immunotherapy. The Committee encourages the Department to
promote multi-institutional and intra-institutional,
multidisciplinary collaborations among clinicians and research
scientists to help advance promising ideas in reconstructive
composite tissue transplantation into clinical applications.
Improving Military Medicine's Management of Pain.--The
Committee has supported the Department's efforts to address the
needs of servicemembers, especially those that have served
multiple times in Iraq and Afghanistan, who are living with
chronic pain related to military service and deployments. The
Committee has previously supported the Department's
strengthening of the Uniformed Services University of the
Health Sciences' Defense and Veterans Center for Integrative
Pain Management [DVCIPM] as the proponent for consensus
recommendations for Department-wide improvements in pain
medicine policies, practice, education, and research. The
DVCIPM is also responsible for addressing the recommendations
of the Army Pain Management Task Force for state of the art
science modalities and technologies to address acute and
chronic pain of service members and other patients. The
Committee acknowledges the work that has been accomplished by
the DVCIPM and encourages continued investment in these vital
efforts.
Global Health.--The Committee recognizes the critical
contribution that the Department of Defense research and
development [R&D] portfolio makes in protecting servicemembers
from infectious diseases they may encounter on missions around
the world and the need to sustain and support U.S. investment
in this area by fully funding R&D programs that carry out this
work within the Department of Defense Health Program,
Department of the Army and Department of the Navy Research,
Development, Test and Evaluation budgets.
Medical Defense Against Infectious Disease.--The Committee
recognizes the importance of prevention and treatment of
naturally occurring infectious diseases and tropical infectious
diseases, such as malaria, Dengue, and Chikungunya viruses.
These diseases 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 these diseases of military importance and
invest in research for chemoprophylaxis, surveillance, novel
approaches to vaccine development, and other countermeasures.
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 nonprofit
organizations to mitigate duplication of effort and maximize
the use of Department resources.
Additionally, several emerging infectious diseases have
taken the global community by surprise over the last few
decades, including SARS, H1N1, Ebola, and Zika. Disease
surveillance, rapid detection, outbreak response, and
epidemiology are essential to providing an early warning of
emerging infectious disease threats to servicemembers abroad
and global health security in general. The Committee recommends
$225,900,000 for core Defense Health Program research and
encourages the Department to continue its investments in
neglected and infectious diseases.
Trauma Clinical Research Network.--The Committee
acknowledges that the last 15 years of war in Afghanistan and
Iraq have enabled the U.S. military to learn vital lessons in
combat casualty care. The Committee encourages the Assistant
Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs), the Director of the
Defense Health Agency, and the Commander of the U.S. Army
Institute of Surgical Research to work with other Federal
agencies focused on tactical combat casualty care [TCCC]. TCCC
has become the gold standard in combat care and has achieved
the best casualty outcomes in the history of modern warfare. It
is imperative that we sustain these advances and ensure that
lessons learned are being incorporated into best practice
trauma care guidelines throughout the military. The Committee
encourages the Department to ensure that military advances in
combat casualty care are rapidly, uniformly, and permanently
implemented throughout the U.S. military. Further, the
Committee encourages the Department to continue allocating
sufficient resources for these efforts in future budget
submissions.
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 combat
zones who have sustained traumatic brain injuries [TBI] and the
long term consequences of TBI. These wounded warriors are at
high risk for developing post-traumatic epilepsy, depression,
cognitive difficulties, and post-traumatic 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 recommends $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 military and civilian
populations.
Hydrocephalus Research.--The Committee is concerned that
some of the estimated 294,000 servicemembers who have sustained
a traumatic brain injury in Operation Enduring Freedom and
Iraqi Freedom are at higher risk for developing 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.
Sustained-Release Drug Delivery.--The Committee encourages
development of technology that can deliver oral drugs for up to
one week or more for specific, targeted, military healthcare
needs. Potential application of this technology could include
long-acting oral therapies for post-traumatic stress, opiate
dependence, low-dose pain control, allergies, attention
deficit/hyperactivity disorder, chemoprophylaxis, and other
Department-identified priority areas. Most oral therapies are
limited in their duration of efficacy by short half-lives in
the body and by the rapid gastrointestinal transit of the pill.
Oral, long-acting therapies may be particularly advantageous in
complex environments with limited access to medical personnel
and resources.
Biomarkers for Hazardous 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 exposure science, biosignatures discovery, wearable
sensors technology, chemical surveillance, and systems biology
including proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics. Further, the
Committee encourages the Department to collaborate with
research universities, medical research centers, and National
Laboratories that specialize in the enumerated health research
capabilities. This research shall aim to align and integrate
research and development efforts to rapidly transition products
in support of the emerging Joint Health Risk Management
Program.
Behavioral and Mental Health Care for National Guard and
Reserve.--The Committee recognizes that the men and women of
the National Guard and Reserve components need greater access
to care if they are to maintain a high state of medical
readiness to support regularly occurring deployments. It also
recognizes that the suicide rate in the reserve components is
consistently higher than the suicide rate for both the active
duty military and the civilian population. Therefore, the
Committee encourages the Department to better ensure that
periodic health assessments are followed by medical treatment
to address any behavioral or mental health conditions that
could impact a servicemember's ability to deploy, even if such
care falls outside of the pre-deployment window. This practice
would allow for a more medically ready, deployable force and
would expand access to behavioral and mental healthcare for
reserve component servicemembers.
Biological Dosimetry Network for Radiological/Nuclear
Events.--The Committee is concerned that the detonation of a
nuclear weapon at a Department of Defense facility or in a
combat zone has the potential to expose numerous military and
civilian personnel to radiation and non-radiation effects. This
type of event could overwhelm medical personnel unless
effective triage is in place. A biodosimetry network could
provide an estimate of the radiation dose an individual
actually received and would clearly identify those in need of
further treatment. The Committee understands that the
Department is in the process of developing a biodosimetry
network and encourages the expeditious development and testing
of such a network. Further, the Department should coordinate
its efforts with the Departments of Health and Human Services,
Homeland Security, the Food and Drug Administration and other
agencies as appropriate.
Operational Risk Management of Deployment Exposures.--The
Committee continues to be concerned about the hazardous
occupational and environmental health [OEH] exposures (dust,
burn pits, endemic disease, etc.) occurring during deployment
and the negative impacts that these exposures have on health
and mission readiness. In May 2015, a Government Accountability
Office [GAO] report noted that while significant improvements
have occurred in deployment force health protection since the
Gulf War, there are certain gaps that demand immediate
attention and remediation including: establishing clear OEH
policy and procedures; requiring all other military-service-
specific policies be amended and implemented to ensure
consistency and revising CENTCOM policies to require adequate
documentation and consistent monitoring of deployment risk
mitigation activities. The Committee encourages the Department
to take steps to review and address the prevention, mitigation,
and avoidance strategies, policies, and procedures and to
develop and implement the GAO recommendations within the
operational risk management construct, including during the
deployment planning stages and throughout the remainder of the
deployment process.
Real-Time Locating System [RTLS] Technology.--The Committee
understands that automated resource management systems may
improve patient care in both normal and emergency situations
and that the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command
and Telemedicine Advanced Technology Research Center have begun
research to define, exercise, and refine best practices for
management of blast injury mass casualty disasters through the
use of RTLS technology. The Committee encourages the Department
to continue this research and focus on creating an open
framework on which private sector vendors can create solutions
that can homogenize location data from disparate systems and
accelerate the adoption of multi-site implementations.
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 major technology
advances in burn and wound management, tissue imaging and
bonding for vascular and reconstructive surgery, diagnosis, and
treatment of major eye diseases and trauma, critical care
sensors and monitors, early assessment of inhalation airway
injury, rapid imaging of coronary artery disease, and
normalization of severe scarring from wounds of war. This
program has made great progress in the development of
important, innovative technologies for battlefield medicine,
and the Committee encourages the Department to maintain funding
for this research at historical levels in future budgets.
Medical Follow-Up Agency of the Institute of Medicine.--The
Committee acknowledges the important contributions of the
Medical Follow-Up Agency [MFUA] to Department of Defense
medical research efforts and urges the Department to continue
to support the agency with the modest investments necessary to
maintain epidemiological research and biospecimens. These
investments will allow MFUA to quickly respond to the health
information needs of active duty military and veteran
populations and keep them viable for future research efforts.
Effect of the Gut Microbiome on Chronic Disease.--The
Committee understands that recent research suggests the levels
of microbiota can affect a patient's overall health and that
the Department plans to research the impact of gut microbiome
on warfighter readiness and performance. The Committee applauds
these efforts and encourages the Department to also investigate
the impact of gut microbiome on long-term chronic conditions,
such as heart disease, kidney disease, and hypertension.

OVERVIEW

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $58,635,004,000 of additional
appropriations for Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War
on Terrorism in fiscal year 2017. 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 eliminates the reporting requirement for Cost
of War Execution reports. However, the Secretary of Defense is
directed to submit reports, on a quarterly basis, to the
congressional defense committees not later than 30 days after
the last day of each quarter of the fiscal year that detail
commitment, obligation, and expenditure data by sub-activity
group for the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund and the Counter-
the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant Fund.

MILITARY PERSONNEL

The Committee recommends a total of $3,562,258,000 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.

Committee:

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

The Committee recommends $43,288,874,000 for the operation
and maintenance accounts. These funds are available to fund
overseas deployments and other activities by the services and
Special Operations Forces to include financing flying hours,
ship steaming days, ground operations, special airlift
missions, increased ship and aircraft maintenance, logistics
support, fuel purchases, base support, civilian personnel,
personnel support costs, overseas transportation,
communications support, facility management, and other
operation and maintenance requirements.

Operation and Maintenance Overview

Operation and Maintenance Overseas Contingency Operations/
Global War on Terrorism [O&M OCO/GWOT] Budget Justification.--
The current format of the budget request for O&M OCO funding is
to justify resource requirements by budget line item,
contingency operation (Operation FREEDOM'S SENTINEL, Operation
INHERENT RESOLVE, or European Reassurance Initiative), and Cost
Breakdown Structure [CBS] code. While at one time useful, this
format has become outdated and cumbersome with services having
to present their O&M OCO requests in a format that is totally
different than the O&M base budget request. The Committee
believes making the format for the O&M OCO OP-5 exhibit match
that of the base budget OP-5 exhibit will not only simplify the
budget justification materials, but will also allow for better
transparency in the requirements changes as a whole versus by
operation or CBS code. This change will allow the services to
address major changes programmatically in a consistent manner.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense
to ensure that the O&M OCO OP-5 exhibits no longer include
categorization by contingency operation or Cost Breakdown
Structure and instead follow the same format as the base budget
OP-5 exhibit. For summary purposes, the O&M OCO justification
shall include the budget profile by contingency operation (OFS,
OIR, ERI, and any others the Secretary of Defense designates)
for the prior year, current year and budget year for each O&M
appropriation. This shall be a summary table to be included in
each O&M appropriation's introductory OCO budget materials.

Operation and Maintenance, Army

Appropriations, 2016.................................... $14,994,833,000
Budget estimate, 2017................................... 15,310,587,000
Committee recommendation................................ 15,065,587,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$15,065,587,000. This is $245,000,000 below the budget
estimate.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED PROGRAM

The following table details the program recommended by the
Committee:

obligation, and expenditure data for CERP to the congressional
defense committees not later than 30 days after each month.

Committee recommendation................................................

The Committee recommends no funding for the
Counterterrrorism Partnerships Fund.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED PROGRAM

The following table details the program recommended by the
Committee:

Fund Consolidation.--The Committee notes that in recent
years the number of requests for separate Funds for various
building partner capacity efforts has continued to increase,
resulting in disparate funding streams often supporting the
same partners for different purposes. The Committee believes
this trend has hampered congressional oversight in tracking the
utility and feasibility of requested projects, proper execution
of funds, and duplication of effort.
To address this issue, the Committee recommends a
consolidation of building partner capacity efforts and a
reduction in the number of funds. The Committee recommends
elimination of the Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund [CTPF],
originally established in fiscal year 2015 to accelerate
capacity building for our counterterrorism partners. The
Committee fully supports these efforts as an important force
multiplier in the counterterrorism fight. However, the
Committee notes that the CTPF has a similar purpose as base
funding provided in the Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide
appropriation for separate building partner capacity efforts,
and sees no justification for maintaining a separate fund for
counterterrorism purposes.
Therefore, the Committee recommends transferring
$850,000,000 from the CTPF to the Title IX Operation and
Maintenance, Defense-wide appropriation for Security
Cooperation Enhancements, as authorized in S. 2943, the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017, as
reported. The Committee provides for 2-year availability of
these funds. The Committee also recommends a reduction to the
CTPF of $150,000,000 for Syria train and equip efforts that
were appropriated in the CTPF in fiscal year 2016, but
requested in a separate Syria Train and Equip Fund in the
fiscal year 2017 budget request without a commensurate movement
of funding from the CTPF.
The Committee also recommends a consolidation of the Iraq
Train and Equip and Syria Train and Equip Funds, requested in
the fiscal year 2017 budget, into a single Counter-the Islamic
State of Iraq and the Levant [Counter-ISIL] Train and Equip
Fund. The Committee recommends the transfer of Jordan and
Lebanon border security efforts currently funded in Title IX
Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide, to the Counter-ISIL
Train and Equip Fund to consolidate similar efforts. The
Committee hopes to work with the Department of Defense in the
coming months to determine if additional transfers or fund
reductions are warranted in order to return to traditional
appropriation account funding and improve the ability of
congressional overseers to track building partner capacity
spending.
Boko Haram.--The fiscal year 2017 budget requests
$125,000,000, in the Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund for
building partnership capacity efforts in the Lake Chad region
to counter Boko Haram and promote regional stability. The
Committee transferred funding for these building partner
capacity efforts to the Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide
appropriation. The Committee fully supports these and other
efforts to prevent Boko Haram's freedom of movement and
diminish its ability to secure material support and maintain a
safe haven.

Afghanistan Security Forces Fund

Appropriations, 2016.................................... $3,652,257,000
Budget estimate, 2017................................... 3,448,715,000
Committee recommendation................................ 3,448,715,000

The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$3,448,715,000. This is equal to the budget estimate.

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED PROGRAM

The following table details the program recommended by the
Committee:

Afghanistan Security Forces Fund.--The Committee is
concerned about reports that Afghanistan Security Forces Fund
[ASFF] procurements made on behalf of the Afghan National
Defense and Security Forces [ANDSF] may be exceeding Afghan
needs and not meeting other requirements identified by the
Afghans. The Committee is also concerned about a lack of
insight into the cost benefit analysis of procuring new
equipment instead of refurbishing excess equipment. The
Committee encourages the Department to work to ensure that
priority capability gaps identified by the Afghan security
forces are met and that concerns by the Afghans about their
ability to absorb equipment are addressed, either through
reduced procurements or through advice to and training of ANDSF
leadership to ensure that the benefits of the capability being
provided are fully understood and, therefore, will be fully
utilized. In addition, prior to the obligation of funds for a
contract on new equipment, the Committee directs the Commander,
Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan to provide to
the congressional defense committees, a cost-benefit analysis
of purchasing new equipment for the ANDSF instead of
refurbishing excess defense articles.

Appropriations, 2016.................................... $715,000,000
Budget estimate, 2017................................... 630,000,000

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED PROGRAM

The following table details the program recommended by the
Committee:

PROCUREMENT

The Committee recommends $9,949,883,000 for the procurement
accounts. The Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on
Terrorism funding supports our forces engaged in Operation
Enduring Freedom and other contingency operations. The
Committee recommends funding to replace combat losses and
equipment left behind in theater, 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 was poorly defined, funding was
requested ahead of need or program execution has been delayed.

Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Fund [JIDF].--The fiscal
year 2017 budget request includes $408,272,000 in Overseas
Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism [OCO/GWOT]
funding. To preserve the essential joint capabilities of JIDF
and eliminate any duplication with service capabilities, the
Committee recommends transferring $62,800,000 to the Defense
Threat Reduction Agency Operations and Maintenance, Defense-
Wide OCO/GWOT account.
Standoff Improvised Explosive Device Detection.--The
Committee recognizes the value of using hyperspectral imaging

constituent chemicals and other materials used in the
manufacture of IEDs such as nitrates, nitrites, phosphates, and
ammonia. The Committee believes that these technologies have
promising application on remotely piloted systems. The
Committee encourages the Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Agency
to explore the efficacy of deploying HSI sensor technology on
remotely pilot systems for the purposes of defeating improvised
explosives and other explosive threats.
