for the Maritime Administration.

                    RATIONALE FOR THE COMMITTEE BILL

    H.R. 5515, the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2019, is a key mechanism through which Congress 
fulfills one of its primary responsibilities as mandated in 
Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution of the United States, 
which grants Congress the power to provide for the common 
defense, to raise and support an Army, to provide and maintain 
a Navy, and to make rules for the government and regulation of 
the land and naval forces. Rule X of the House of 
Representatives provides the House Committee on Armed Services 
with jurisdiction over the Department of Defense generally and 
over the military application of nuclear energy. The committee 
bill includes findings and recommendations resulting from its 
oversight activities, conducted through hearings, briefings, 
and roundtable discussions with Department of Defense and 
Department of Energy civilian and military officials, 
intelligence analysts, outside experts, and industry 
representatives, and it is informed by institutional 
experience.
    The committee believes that America's military faces 
strategic challenges, including the re-emergence of strategic 
competitors such as the Russian Federation and the People's 
Republic of China; threats posed by the Islamic Republic of 
Iran and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea; and those 
posed by the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant, al-Qaida, 
and other terrorist groups. H.R. 5515 adheres to the Bipartisan 
Budget Act of 2018, and it provides the Department of Defense 
and the Department of Energy with important policy authorities 
to speed decision making and improve agility, while restoring 
readiness and increasing capabilities and capacities.

National Defense Strategy

    H.R. 5515 builds on the National Defense Strategy's 
recognition of long-term strategic competition. It empowers the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Policy to develop, implement, 
and integrate Department of Defense activities across all 
geographic regions and military functions and domains, and to 
lead the integration of Department of Defense activities across 
the interagency of the Federal Government.
    With respect to Russia, the bill maintains the long-
standing prohibition of military-to-military cooperation with 
Russia; it maintains the prohibition of U.S. Government 
recognition of the illegal occupation of Crimea; it funds the 
President's request of $250.0 million for assistance to 
Ukraine, including for lethal defensive items; and, it funds 
the President's request for $6.3 billion for the European 
Defense Initiative (EDI) to further reinforce the U.S. presence 
in Europe, and it moves the EDI-request for the Army Pre-
positioned Stock United Set to the base budget.
    With respect to the whole-of-society plans of the Chinese 
Community Party of the People's Republic of China (PRC), the 
bill directs the creation of a whole-of-government strategy to 
confront these plans; it improves security cooperation to 
counter the PRC's rising influence in Africa, Southeast Asia, 
and other regions; and, it improves Taiwan's self-defense 
capabilities by expanding joint training, foreign military 
sales, the use of security cooperation authorities, and senior-
level military-to-military engagement initiatives.
    H.R. 5515 also continues the committee's efforts to 
reorganize the U.S. Government's efforts with respect to malign 
foreign influence operations and campaigns by directing the 
President to designate an official on the staff of the National 
Security Council to coordinate a whole-of-government response 
to these operations and campaigns.

Impacts on Military Preparedness

    The committee is particularly concerned by the state of 
military readiness. In 2017, nearly four times as many members 
of the military died in training accidents as were killed in 
combat. In all, 21 service members died in combat while 80 died 
as a result of non-combat, training-related accidents. This 
spring alone, 25 were killed in military aviation mishaps. In 
2017, there were a total of 60 Class-A aviation mishaps across 
the services.
    These mishaps are not limited to military aviation. This 
past summer, the Navy lost 17 Sailors in separate collisions 
involving the USS John S. McCain and the USS Fitzgerald.
    H.R. 5515 makes it a top priority of the Department of 
Defense to increase training of the Joint Force to promote 
readiness. The funding will allow the Army to conduct 20 Combat 
Training Center rotations in fiscal year 2019, including 4 
rotations for the Army National Guard, doubling the number of 
Brigade Combat Teams sent to the Center. It will authorize 
funding for the Army to hold two Security Force Assistance 
Brigade (SFAB) culminating training events a year, enhancing 
the Army's combat capability and capacity. The funding in the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 enables 
the Marine Corps to continue maximizing the capacity of their 
full-spectrum collective training exercises to help restore the 
capability of the Marine Air-Ground Task Force. H.R. 5515 
includes increased funding for equipment maintenance, spare 
parts, and training to rebuild readiness for ships, aircraft 
squadrons, and ground units.
    The proposal fully supports the President's budget request 
of $2.8 billion for the procurement of spare airplane parts for 
the Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force. And it also provides 
$21.8 billion for equipment maintenance and $3.7 billion for 
spare parts; this represents an increase of $927.9 million over 
the Fiscal Year 2018 Omnibus.
    H.R. 5515 also takes specific steps to restore and rebuild 
the readiness of the U.S. Navy. It directs the Navy to provide 
clear chains of command for operations, for building readiness, 
and for shipyard maintenance. It would limit the time a Navy 
vessel is forward deployed to more than 10 years, and it would 
increase the number of Navy vessels authorized for 
construction. It accelerates construction of the fourth Ford-
class aircraft carrier, authorizes two additional Littoral 
Combat Ships, and supports two additional Virginia-class attack 
submarines in fiscal years 2022 and 2023.

Reforming the Department of Defense: Promoting Efficiency, 
        Effectiveness, and Agility

    The FY16, FY17 and FY18 National Defense Authorization Acts 
(NDAAs) included several reforms to the Department of Defense, 
including reforms to the Department's acquisition processes and 
to the Office of the Secretary of Defense.
    H.R. 5515 focuses on the defense agencies and field 
activities (DAFAs) that are not part of a military service and 
do not report directly to the Secretary of Defense. It empowers 
the newly-created Department of Defense Chief Management 
Officer (CMO) to eliminate redundancy and cross enterprise 
activities (e.g., logistics, civilian resource management, real 
property management, and services contracting). It also 
requires the CMO to review and assess the function of each DAFA 
to validate its usefulness to the Joint Force or to recommend 
its elimination or transformation.

                                HEARINGS

    Committee consideration of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 results from posture and 
budget-related hearings that began on February 14, 2018, and 
that were completed on April 19, 2018. The full committee 
conducted 9 hearings and the 6 subcommittees conducted a total 
of 23 sessions during this time period. Additionally, over the 
past year, the committee conducted numerous policy and program 
oversight hearings, including hearings in support of its reform 
initiatives, to inform its development of the legislative 
proposals contained in this Act.

                           COMMITTEE POSITION

    On May 9, 2018, the Committee on Armed Services held a 
markup session to consider H.R. 5515. The committee ordered the 
bill H.R. 5515, as amended, favorably reported to the House of 
Representatives by a recorded vote of 60-1, a quorum being 
present.

                EXPLANATION OF THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS

    The committee adopted an amendment in the nature of a 
substitute during the consideration of H.R. 5515. The title of 
the bill is amended to reflect the amendment to the text of the 
bill. The remainder of the report discusses the bill, as 
amended.

            RELATIONSHIP OF AUTHORIZATION TO APPROPRIATIONS

    The bill does not provide budget authority. This bill 
authorizes appropriations; subsequent appropriations acts will 
provide budget authority. However, the committee strives to 
adhere to the recommendations as issued by the Committee on the 
Budget as it relates to the jurisdiction of this committee.
    The bill addresses the following categories in the 
Department of Defense budget: procurement; research, 
development, test, and evaluation; operation and maintenance; 
military personnel; working capital funds; and military 
construction and family housing. The bill also addresses the 
Armed Forces Retirement Home, Department of Energy National 
Security Programs, the Naval Petroleum Reserve, and the 
Maritime Administration.
    Active Duty and Reserve personnel strengths authorized in 
this bill and legislation affecting compensation for military 
personnel determine the remaining appropriation requirements of 
the Department of Defense. However, this bill does not provide 
authorization of specific dollar amounts for military 
personnel.

          SUMMARY OF DISCRETIONARY AUTHORIZATIONS IN THE BILL

    The President requested discretionary budget authority of 
$708.1 billion for programs within the jurisdiction of the 
committee for fiscal year 2019. Of this amount, $617.1 billion 
was requested for ``base'' Department of Defense programs, 
$69.0 billion was requested for Overseas Contingency Operations 
requirements covering the entire fiscal year, $21.8 billion was 
requested for Department of Energy national security programs 
and the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, and $0.2 
billion was requested for defense-related activities associated 
with the Maritime Administration.
    The committee recommends an overall discretionary 
authorization of $708.1 billion in fiscal year 2019. The 
committee authorization is a $16.0 billion increase above the 
levels provided for in the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91).
    The table preceding the detailed program adjustments in 
division D of this report summarizes the committee's 
recommended discretionary authorizations by appropriation 
account for fiscal year 2019 and compares these amounts to the 
President's request.

                      BUDGET AUTHORITY IMPLICATION

    The President's total request for the national defense 
budget function (050) in fiscal year 2019 is $725.5 billion, as 
estimated by the Congressional Budget Office. In addition to 
funding for programs addressed in this bill, the total 050 
request includes discretionary funding for national defense 
programs not in the committee's jurisdiction, discretionary 
funding for programs that do not require additional 
authorization in fiscal year 2019, and mandatory programs.
    The table preceding the detailed program adjustments in 
division D of this report details changes to the budget request 
for all aspects of the national defense budget function.

            DIVISION A--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AUTHORIZATIONS

                          TITLE I--PROCUREMENT

                       Aircraft Procurement, Army


                       Items of Special Interest


Apache attack helicopters

    The committee understands the Army's current aviation 
modernization and equipping strategy that resulted from the 
Army's Aviation Restructure Initiative currently resources the 
Army National Guard (ARNG) to retain 4 attack reconnaissance 
battalions for a total of 72 AH-64 Apache attack helicopters. 
The committee notes that these ARNG attack reconnaissance 
battalions would be equipped with 18 AH-64 attack helicopters 
as compared to the Active Component battalions that are 
equipped with 24 AH-64 attack helicopters. The committee is 
aware the ARNG is no longer solely the strategic reserve of the 
past, but also an operational force, and provides significant 
capability through rotational support to combatant commanders. 
The committee believes that given the current global threat 
environment, reliance on ARNG capabilities is expected to 
increase.
    Therefore, the committee believes that all 4 ARNG attack 
reconnaissance battalions should be equipped with 24 AH-64 
attack helicopters, the same as Active Component battalions, in 
order to improve overall readiness and compatibility between 
the ARNG and Active Component. The committee encourages the 
Secretary of the Army to plan, program, and budget for 24 
additional AH-64 attack helicopters to address ARNG 
requirements across the Future Years Defense Program.

Light utility helicopter

    The budget request included $6.4 million for utility 
helicopter modifications to the UH-60 Black Hawk and the UH-72A 
Lakota helicopters, but contained no funding for UH-72A life-
cycle sustainment and product improvements. The UH-72A Lakota 
helicopter provides general aviation support for aviation units 
in the Active and Reserve Components. The committee supports 
the requirement to conduct mid-life sustainment and product 
improvement activities for the UH-72A, and includes funding to 
conduct the analysis, engineering, certification, and risk 
reduction activities necessary to update the UH-72A Life Cycle 
Support Plan. The committee also recognizes that the UH-72A was 
initially fielded without aircraft survivability equipment, 
which could potentially limit the Active Component and Army 
National Guard's utilization of the UH-72A platform. As 
reflected in Division D of this Act, the committee recommends 
additional funding for the National Guard and Reserve Component 
Equipment Account (NGREA). The committee understands that while 
no requirements have been formally identified for UH-72A Lakota 
ballistic armor or aircraft survivability equipment by the 
National Guard Bureau, should a requirement be put forth, the 
committee expects the Army National Guard to utilize NGREA 
funds.
    The committee recommends $16.4 million, an increase of 
$10.0 million, in utility helicopter modifications for UH-72A 
life-cycle sustainment and product improvements. Further, the 
committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by February 
8, 2019, on the Army's long-term sustainment strategy for the 
UH-72A Lakota helicopter fleet.

Report on efforts to reduce operational and maintenance costs for CH-47

    The committee is aware the Army has recently validated a 
new specification for an improved thermal-acoustic blanket for 
CH-47 helicopters, which does not appear to be reflected in the 
logistics and material databases and support system. By greatly 
improving capabilities over current blankets, including dry/wet 
weight, air permeability, thermal and acoustic insulation, and 
durability the Army has developed a cost-effective way to 
significantly reduce operational and maintenance costs for the 
heavy lift fleet. The committee commends the Army for this 
effort, and directs the Secretary of the Army to provide a 
briefing to the Armed Services Committees of the House of 
Representatives and Senate no later than September 28, 2018 
detailing plans to outfit all current and future CH-47s with 
this enhanced capability and the status of the material and 
logistics supply chain's incorporation of this new 
specification. The briefing should include a schedule for 
fielding blankets for the current fleet and the status of 
inserting the new specification into CH-47 block II production.

Unmanned aerial system units for Army National Guard

    The committee understands the Army's current fielding plan 
for MQ-1C Gray Eagle units includes Active Duty combat aviation 
brigades and intelligence units, and that at present no systems 
are planned for fielding to the Army National Guard. However, 
the committee notes that there are many missions involving 
military support to civilian authorities for which the MQ-1C 
Gray Eagle could contribute, including wildfire response, 
search and rescue, border security, counter-narcotics, and 
communications support during emergencies. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 
2019, on the potential utility, feasibility, and cost of 
establishing MQ-1C Gray Eagle units in the Army National Guard. 
The briefing shall include, at a minimum, a detailed analysis 
of the resources needed to create a minimum of two Gray Eagle 
companies in the Army National Guard, and an analysis of how 
such units could provide support to civilian authorities for 
domestic emergencies.

                       Missile Procurement, Army


                       Items of Special Interest


Stinger missile modernization program

    The committee supports the Army's accelerated strategy to 
restore capacity and capability in Short-Range Air Defense 
(SHORAD) teams, to include reconstituting man-portable air 
defense teams using Stinger missiles to counter current and 
emerging threats from fixed-wing aircraft, rotary-wing 
aircraft, and unmanned air systems (UAS). However, the 
committee has significant concerns regarding the adequacy of 
the Army's Stinger missile inventory, as well as the resiliency 
of the associated industrial base that produces key components, 
including those required for the Stinger missile seeker.
    The committee recognizes the requirement for Stinger 
missiles will likely increase as a result of increased demand 
for SHORAD capability. The Army's current acquisition strategy 
does not include any new production of Stinger missiles, and 
instead implements a service life extension program (SLEP) for 
existing Stinger missiles. The committee notes that the last 
new Stinger missile was produced in 2001, and that missiles 
expire annually due to attrition and decay. While the Stinger 
SLEP program does extend the missile life by 10 years and 
improves counter-UAS capability by adding a proximity fuze, the 
current SLEP program will not mitigate the decline in Stinger 
missile inventory. Further, the Stinger SLEP program does not 
address the capability of the Stinger guidance section, 
electronics or seeker.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by December 
3, 2018, on the Stinger Modernization Program. The briefing 
should address the Army's strategy to mitigate the decline of 
the Stinger missile inventory, to include required funding, 
maintenance of the Stinger industrial base, and modernization 
of the Stinger program in the out-years.

        Procurement of Weapons and Tracked Combat Vehicles, Army


                       Items of Special Interest


Armored brigade combat team modernization

    In the committee report accompanying the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (H. Rept. 115-200), the 
committee expressed concerns about the stability of armored 
brigade combat team (ABCT) modernization funding in fiscal year 
2018 and beyond, noting that the Army was currently modernizing 
one ABCT every 2 years at best. Furthermore, in H. Rept. 115-
200 the committee encouraged the Army to fully modernize at 
least one ABCT per year, and the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) authorized the 
additional funding necessary to modernize one complete ABCT. 
The committee is encouraged by the Army's increased investment 
for ABCT modernization in the budget request.
    Given this increased investment for ABCT modernization, the 
committee believes the Army should examine the cost benefits of 
using multiyear procurement contracts for combat vehicle 
platforms comprising ABCTs. However, the committee is also 
aware the Army has concerns over the loss of fiscal flexibility 
that occurs when it commits to a multiyear contract.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by December 3, 2018, on the results of a cost-benefit analysis 
comparing a traditional 5-year multiyear contract for ABCT 
platforms with an alternative 3-year multiyear contract with 2 
successive single-year options.
    In addition, the committee is concerned that the Army's 
current nomenclature for a critical part of the ABCT, the M1 
Abrams tank, has become so complicated that it fails to 
communicate the importance of the Army's planned upgrades for 
the tank. Specifically, the committee is concerned that Army's 
use of ``M1A1 situational awareness,'' ``M1A2 system 
enhancement program version 3,'' and ``M1A2 system enhancement 
program version 4'' to refer to Army upgrade programs for the 
M1 Abrams tank fails to clearly and concisely convey the 
significant capability upgrades resident in these efforts. The 
committee encourages the Army to change, as soon as possible, 
to clearer M1 Abrams upgrade program descriptions such as the 
``M1A3'' and ``M1A4'' to more efficiently describe these 
programs. The committee believes that such a change does not 
require any additional testing or funding.

M240 medium machine gun modernization

     The committee is concerned the Army may be assuming too 
much risk in the small arms industrial base with respect to the 
family of M240 medium machine guns. Current funding profiles 
could lead to a potential production line shutdown. The 
shutdown of existing production lines would create significant 
operational impacts if requirements increase. The committee 
notes that the budget request included $2.1 million for M240 
production; however, no funding is projected for new production 
in fiscal year 2020 or fiscal year 2021. The committee 
encourages the Army to closely monitor this critical industrial 
base and work with the original equipment manufacturer to 
develop courses of action to ensure the production line remains 
viable and capable of supporting potential increased 
requirements.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide 
a briefing to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives by September 28, 2018. This briefing shall 
include, at a minimum:
    (1) the projected service life of the current M240 
inventory;
    (2) the Army's plan and schedule to replace the current 
M240 inventory either with newer M240 models or an entirely new 
system;
    (3) how the Army will address increased requirements caused 
by increases in end strength and combat formations;
    (4) relevant cost analysis for restarting the M240 
production line after a period of dormancy; and
    (5) a description of interaction and communication with the 
original equipment manufacturer regarding capacity challenges 
and minimum sustaining production rates.
    Additionally, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Army to provide an advisability and feasibility study to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by September 28, 2018, on 
transitioning the existing fleet of M240B medium machine guns 
to the lighter-weight M240L configuration. This assessment 
shall include the estimated costs associated with this 
transition and using current inventories of M240Bs.

M3E1 Carl Gustaf weapon system

    The committee understands the M3E1 Carl Gustaf is the 
Army's current platform for addressing the Army's multi-role 
anti-armor anti-personnel weapon system requirement. The 
committee notes that the Army is implementing a directed 
requirement signed in January 2017 to expand the fielding of 
lightweight Carl Gustaf systems to infantry and scout platoons 
in its infantry brigade combat teams and Stryker brigade combat 
teams.
    The committee notes, however, that the Army does not have 
plans or funding for a precision-guided round for the Carl 
Gustaf that will provide pinpoint, multitarget engagement 
capability at substantially extended ranges. The committee is 
aware of an emerging U.S. Special Operations Command 
requirement for a Guided Carl Gustaf Munition and encourages 
the Army to accelerate development and production of a 
precision-guided round for the Carl Gustaf weapon system.

Paladin Integrated Management

    The base budget request included $351.8 million for 30 
M109A7 Paladin Integrated Management (PIM) self-propelled 
howitzers. The M109A7 PIM program modernizes the legacy M109A6 
Paladin self-propelled howitzer and M992A2 Field Artillery 
Ammunition Support Vehicle.
    The committee has worked closely with the Army to stabilize 
production for combat vehicle programs and armored brigade 
combat team modernization in order to maintain overmatch 
against near-peer and peer strategic competitors. As such, the 
committee is concerned that the Army's budget request for the 
Paladin Integrated Management program does not adequately fund 
the current production contract. The committee notes that the 
Army has decreased planned PIM funding in fiscal year 2019 by 
approximately $237.0 million and that this funding decrease has 
resulted in a loss of 24 vehicle sets below the original 60 
sets authorized under the contract. Furthermore, the committee 
understands the Army plans to increase production back to 60 
sets per year beginning in fiscal year 2020. The committee 
believes this variance from planned and contracted funding 
amounts could cause significant disruptions to the PIM supply 
chain. The committee encourages the Army to maintain funding 
for PIM consistent with the 60 vehicles sets per year included 
in its current production contract.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $426.8 million, an 
increase of $75.0 million, to increase production for the 
M109A7 PIM program.

Stryker upgrades

    The budget request contained $21.9 million for the 
procurement of three conversions of Stryker flat-bottom hull 
vehicles to the Double V-Hull (DVH) configuration with 
Engineering Change Proposal (ECP) 1 upgrades resulting in a 
Stryker DVHA1 vehicle to be fielded in Stryker brigade combat 
teams (SBCTs). The budget request also contained $287.5 million 
for Stryker vehicle modifications to resolve reliability, 
lethality, safety, operational, and performance degradation 
issues in Stryker vehicles.
    The committee understands the Stryker DVHA1 ECP addresses 
mobility and electrical power degradation issues resulting from 
over 10 years supporting overseas contingency combat 
operations, as well as other improvements in network capability 
intended to provide the platform for future evolution of the 
fleet. The committee notes that the Chief of Staff of the Army 
just recently completed an assessment of Stryker program 
priorities and directed that all six remaining SBCTs convert to 
the Stryker DVHA1 configuration. The committee supports this 
directed requirement, and believes the conversion would provide 
SBCTs with a more survivable vehicle, as well as regain the 
mobility and automotive performance lost due to the additional 
weight of the existing survivability upgrades. To facilitate 
and support this effort in fiscal year 2019, the committee 
notes the Army has requested realignment of $149.3 million from 
the Stryker modification budget request, and also has 
identified new unfunded requirements for Stryker upgrades.
    The committee recommends an additional $188.8 million to 
accelerate Stryker DVHA1 upgrades for SBCTs. The committee also 
recommends the realignment of $149.3 million from the Stryker 
modification budget request for Stryker DVHA1 upgrades. The 
committee recommends a total of $360.0 million, a total 
increase of $337.3 million, for Stryker DVHA1 upgrades.

                    Procurement of Ammunition, Army


                       Items of Special Interest


M58 MICLIC

    The committee has continuing interest in the Department of 
Defense's plans to modify and upgrade the M58 Mine Clearing 
Line Charge (MICLIC). This antiquated system has been employed 
by the United States Marine Corps and U.S. Army since the 
Vietnam-era. Since the beginning of the Global War on 
Terrorism, enemy mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) 
have been used to counter U.S. ground mobility assets. The past 
17 years of conflict, coupled with recent trends indicate that 
these types of defensive tactics and techniques will be used in 
future engagements. While the enemy continues to adapt, the M58 
MICLIC costs $83.6K per system and has not seen any significant 
upgrade in capability since its introduction.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than February 1, 2019, on the Army's plan for 
upgrading or replacing the M58 MICLIC. The briefing should 
include:
    (1) A description of current MICLIC employment statistics 
and mission requirements
    (2) An overview of a plan and timeline to upgrade the 
current system or field a newer variant
    (3) The costs associated with the research, development, 
test, and evaluation of a new system
    (4) Any employment or effectiveness shortfalls with the 
current M58 system.

                        Other Procurement, Army


                       Items of Special Interest


CREW electronic counter-measure systems

    The budget request contained $42.7 million for the 
procurement of counter radio controlled improvised explosive 
devices (RCIED) electronics warfare (CREW) family of electronic 
counter measure (ECM) systems to protect dismounted soldiers, 
fixed-sites, and tactical and combat vehicles. The committee 
supports this program and notes that the United States Marine 
Corps and United States Special Operations Command are 
currently procuring the same family of systems. The committee 
is aware that the Army has two Program Executive Offices (PEOs) 
responsible for developing and procuring ground-based mounted 
and dismounted CREW and ECM systems. The committee notes that 
PEO Ammunition procures these systems specifically for Army 
Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units and that PEO 
Intelligence, Electronic Warfare & Sensors (IEW&S) for all 
other Army organizational units. The committee needs to be 
assured that these PEOs are coordinating effectively on 
materiel solutions and are engaged in mutually supporting 
activities regarding CREW ECM systems.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by August 
30, 2018, on the Army's efforts to coordinate and synchronize 
the requirements process, rapid acquisition efforts, and 
programs of record of PEO IEW&S and PEO Ammunition related to 
CREW ECM systems.

Enhanced rapid airfield construction capability

    The budget request included $0.9 million for enhanced rapid 
airfield construction capability (ERACC) equipment.
    The committee understands ERACC equipment provides the 
joint commander with the capability enhancement to rapidly 
construct new airfields and runways, and to upgrade existing 
facilities to meet joint task force requests. The committee 
notes this request specifically provides for the procurement, 
installation, and fielding of equipment in support of ERACC 
Type II mission requirements. The committee understands ERACC 
Type II mission equipment consists of a grade control system 
that includes a Global Positioning System (GPS) and laser 
leveling system that is installed on a dozer, grader, scraper 
and Deployable Universal Combat Earthmover. The committee notes 
the laser leveling systems allow for precision survey planning 
with three-dimensional software. The committee understands this 
system would significantly reduce operational time required for 
heavy construction missions, and result in fewer machines 
required to complete missions, as well as fuel savings. The 
committee believes there are emerging requirements for 
additional ERACC Type II capability.
    The committee recommends $8.4 million, an increase of $7.5 
million, to accelerate the competitive modernization of ERACC 
equipment.

Mine resistant ambush protected vehicle sustainment

    The committee commends the military services for retaining 
the most capable mine resistant ambush protected (MRAP) 
vehicles to meet military operational and training needs, as 
well as standardizing the fleet to improve long-term 
sustainment. The committee notes the Army has an enduring 
requirement of 8,222 MRAP vehicles, and that MRAP vehicles 
continue to be a critical high demand force protection asset 
for overseas contingency operations in the U.S. Central 
Command's area of responsibility. The committee also notes that 
since the military services finalized the enduring requirements 
for MRAP vehicles, the military services face an increasingly 
complex and significantly worse global threat environment.
    In this environment, the committee believes demand for MRAP 
vehicles could increase. Additionally, MRAP vehicles may be 
needed to fulfill emerging requirements that may not have been 
fully considered as part of the Army's long-term tactical 
wheeled vehicle modernization strategy, such as requirements 
for key leader or command and control vehicles. The committee 
notes with concern that the Army's budget request contained no 
funding for MRAP vehicle modifications or improvements for the 
existing inventory of MRAP vehicles. The committee encourages 
the Army to take necessary steps to ensure the MRAP vehicle 
industrial base remains viable.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, in coordination with 
the Secretary of the Army, to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by December 14, 2018, that details 
the Army's long-term strategy for planning, programming, and 
budgeting for long-term sustainment, research and development, 
and procurement of MRAP vehicle platforms.

Tactical Communication and Protective Systems (TCAPS) authorization

    The House Armed Services Committee is aware that service 
members are routinely exposed to extreme loud noises that can 
damage their hearing. The committee further notes that 
technologies are available that integrate advanced hearing 
protection into tactical radio headsets, significantly 
improving communications ability as well as overall situational 
awareness. The committee is concerned, however, that disparity 
in the procurement and fielding schedules of these components 
is leading to inefficiencies that unnecessarily undermine 
readiness and could jeopardize the long-term health of service 
members.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army, 
in coordination with the Director of the Soldier Lethality 
Cross-Functional Team pilot as well as the appropriate program 
executive offices, to provide a briefing to the House Committee 
on Armed Services by September 1, 2018 on potential courses of 
action to mitigate the aforementioned disparity.

Tactical network modernization

    The committee understands the Army's new tactical network 
modernization strategy is designed to enable the Army to 
``fight tonight,'' while also actively seeking next-generation 
solutions to stay ahead of potential adversaries. The committee 
notes this strategy would fix the existing programs that are 
necessary to fulfill the most critical operational shortfalls, 
while pivoting to a new acquisition methodology that fosters 
rapid insertion of new technology. In the report required by 
section 112 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), the Army stated that 
``the Army will continually evaluate available solutions, 
including those that may not have originally been designed for 
military application, using operational units to demonstrate, 
experiment with, and test them in the field. The Army will then 
'adapt and buy' the best of the tested solutions to meet unique 
military challenges.'' Consistent with this new tactical 
network modernization strategy, the committee expects the 
Director of the Army's Network Command, Control, Communication, 
and Intelligence cross-functional team pilot to test and 
consider readily available, non-developmental tactical 
communications technologies that deliver the improved 
performance in voice, video, and data dissemination at the 
squad and individual soldier level.

Tactical wheeled vehicle industrial base sustainment

    The committee is aware that the Army's Future Years Defense 
Program (FYDP) projections for the family of medium tactical 
vehicles (FMTVs) and the family of heavy tactical vehicles 
(FHTVs) Recapitalization program in the budget request are 
significantly lower than corresponding fiscal year 2018 FYDP 
projections. The committee is concerned that a drastic, 
unexpected decrease in FYDP procurement projections for these 
critical vehicle programs could have significant impacts to the 
medium and heavy tactical wheeled vehicle defense industrial 
base. The committee notes with concern that this could put at 
risk the TWV industrial base's ability to provide surge 
capacity in an emergency. The committee encourages the 
Secretary of the Army to develop procurement plans for tactical 
wheeled vehicles and corresponding recapitalization programs 
that do not place unreasonable pressure on the tactical wheeled 
vehicle industrial base, nor undermine its capacity for surge 
production.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
September 30, 2018, on the Army's current acquisition strategy 
and sustainment strategy for FMTVs and FHTVs. The briefing 
should also include potential courses of action to minimize 
impacts to the industrial base, as well as ways to maintain 
surge capacity across the FYDP.

Current and future anti-submarine warfare system study

    Preceding the Navy Department's MH-60R Mid-Life Upgrade 
(MLU) in Fiscal Year 20, advances in anti-submarine warfare 
systems manufactured in the U.S. warrant a review. The 
committee is encouraged by advances in dipping sonar utilizing 
low frequency detection and beam-forming technologies, allowing 
multiple boundary interactions, and interoperability with 
shipboard sonars and sonobuoys adding greatly enhanced 
protection to the carrier battle group. Moreover, these 
advances in technology are derived from U.S. sources, vice 
foreign technologies.
    Additionally, the committee is concerned that the current 
MH-60R anti-submarine warfare system, Airborne Low Frequency 
Sonar (ALFS), that serves as the primary ASW sensor in the 
Carrier Strike Group, has a component failure rate that has 
depleted the spares inventory, impacting deployed and 
nondeployed readiness including the ability to support 
concurrent MH-60R deployments.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to submit a report to the House Armed Services Committee by 
March 1, 2019 on the current operability and readiness issues 
of ALFS system and the potential utilization of existing, 
advanced U.S. technologies to upgrade the MH-60R fleet's anti-
submarine warfare system.

Long-range naval carrier aviation

    The committee notes that section 1067 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-
92) directed the Secretary of Defense to provide three 
independent studies of alternative future fleet platform 
architectures for the Navy in the 2030 timeframe.
    The committee further notes that the three studies concur 
as to the need for an enhanced carrier-based unmanned long-
range strike capability beyond current plans and programs. The 
committee remains concerned that while the MQ-25 program 
leverages Unmanned Carrier-Launched Airborne Surveillance and 
Strike requirements justification, the most recent 
documentation sent to industry did not include precision strike 
capability as a requirement. The committee believes that the 
Navy may be unnecessarily excluding a critical capability and 
precluding future growth in a platform that will likely be 
integrated into the carrier air wing for the next 30 years.
    Therefore, the committee encourages the Navy to develop an 
unmanned anti-access penetrating long-range strike capability 
from the aircraft carrier, in addition to the current focus on 
the MQ-25A.

MQ-4

    The budget request contained $577.8 million for procurement 
of three MQ-4C unmanned aircraft. The committee understands the 
MQ-4C will be a forward-deployed, land-based, autonomously 
operated system that provides a persistent maritime 
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capability 
using a multi-sensor mission payload. The MQ-4C's unique 
combination of long endurance and advanced sensors will support 
combatant commanders and provide a common operational picture 
of the maritime environment.
    The committee supports the budget request of $577.8 million 
for procurement of three MQ-4C aircraft. However, how, when, 
and what quantity of MQ-4C aircraft will be integrated into the 
Department of Defense's ISR Global Force Management Allocation 
Process (GFMAP) for airborne ISR aircraft is still unclear. 
Therefore, the committee also directs the Chairman of the Joint 
Chiefs of Staff (CJCS), in consultation with the Secretary of 
the Navy, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services, not later than October 15, 2018, that details the 
strategy and plan to integrate MQ-4C into the CJCS ISR GFMAP 
process. At a minimum, the briefing should illustrate the 
methodology that will be used to determine the quantity of MQ-
4C aircraft involved in the process, the scheduling start date, 
the type of aircraft capability, and the capacity of 
intelligence discipline capability the MQ-4C will provide to 
the combatant commanders.

Navy Reserve F/A-18 aircraft

    The committee remains concerned about the health and 
readiness of the Navy Reserve combat air fleet. The committee 
is aware that the Navy Reserve tactical aviation squadrons 
provide critical adversary support and strike fighter weapons 
training to Active Duty forces, and must maintain a high 
mobilization readiness level as the sole strategic reserve 
available to the Department of the Navy. The committee 
understands that the Navy Reserve currently operates 33 legacy 
F/A-18A+ aircraft that are currently shared between two 
squadrons. The committee notes that with an average airframe 
age of 31 years and aircraft systems that are no longer 
compatible with today's carrier air wing, the Navy Reserve 
aircraft are increasingly less capable than the F/A-18E/F Super 
Hornet aircraft used by the Navy's Active Duty fleet. The 
committee believes that this situation could affect the ability 
of the two Navy Reserve squadrons to meet requirements for 
advanced strike employment, and the capability to simulate 
current advanced threat aircraft. The committee also believes 
that the legacy F/A-18A+ aircraft needs to be recapitalized 
with next-generation capability in order to provide realistic 
threat-representative training for naval aviators and to 
maintain operational readiness that provides a relevant and 
deployable reserve to the Active Duty air wings.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Navy, in coordination with the Chief of the Navy Reserve, to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than December 4, 2018, on its updated plans to 
recapitalize the Navy Reserve combat air fleet.

Advanced Low Cost Munition Ordnance

    The committee continues to support development of the 
Advanced Low Cost Munition Ordnance (ALaMO), a guided 57 mm 
projectile, to counter the growing threats posed by small boat 
swarms, unmanned aerial systems, and other emerging threats. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
August 30, 2018, on accelerating development of ALaMO's 
capabilities to address threats posed by unmanned aerial 
systems. The briefing should also include, but not be limited 
to, an evaluation of the current funding profile of this 
program across the Future Years Defense Program, as well as 
potential courses of action to accelerate or streamline the 
current program strategy.

                       Items of Special Interest


Frigate

    The committee is aware that the Navy awarded five contracts 
for conceptual design for its new guided missile frigate 
program, FFG(X), with multiple shipbuilders currently 
developing their respective designs to compete for a detail 
design and construction contract award planned for September 
2020. This pursuit represents a significant shift from the 
Navy's previous plans to award a contract in fiscal year 2018 
for a frigate derived from minor modifications to a Littoral 
Combat Ship (LCS) design. The FFG(X) program intends to 
leverage the proposed capabilities of the previous frigate 
plans and expand upon them to create a more lethal and 
survivable ship to meet the Small Surface Combatant (SSC) 
requirement. Toward that end, the committee encourages the 
Secretary of the Navy to emphasize concepts of risk reduction, 
commonality with existing platform equipment, and reduced 
acquisition and life cycle and sustainment costs to provide a 
best value solution for this critical platform. FFG(X) 
represents a significant investment, with the Navy's fiscal 
year 2019 long-range shipbuilding plan estimating over $5.5 
billion through fiscal year 2023 for the first 6 frigates, and 
a total of 20 frigates planned through fiscal year 2030.
    Since 2005, the Comptroller General of the United States 
has reported extensively on the LCS program, the predecessor 
small surface combatant. Considering the lessons learned during 
the LCS program, the committee directs the Comptroller General 
of the United States conduct a review of the FFG(X) program and 
provide a report to the congressional defense committees by 
March 1, 2019. The report shall include, at a minimum, analysis 
on the following:
    (1) conceptual design plans and activities to support the 
advancement of multiple ship designs for a full and open 
competition in fiscal year 2020;
    (2) activities to establish requirements and system 
specifications, and to develop the program's overall 
acquisition approach, including cost and schedule estimates, as 
well as a test strategy; and
    (3) plans for the detail design and construction award 
contract, to include a review of the implications of a 
potential request by the Navy for a block buy award.

Nimitz-class aircraft carrier service life extension

    In December 2016, the Secretary of the Navy determined that 
a 355-ship Navy is required to support force structure demands. 
A part of this force structure requirement is a power 
projection requirement of 12 aircraft carriers. With the 
delivery of the USS John F. Kennedy (CVN 79) in 2023, the Navy 
will reach their 12 aircraft carrier goal but will quickly lose 
this overall capacity with the programmed retirement of USS 
Nimitz (CVN 68) in fiscal year 2023.
    The committee believes that there are several options to 
retain required aircraft carrier force structure to include 
accelerating construction of the Ford-class carriers. 
Additionally, the committee believes that service life 
extension options may be available for USS Nimitz. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 
2019, on options that exist to extend the service life of USS 
Nimitz, to include the extension of major components. 
Additionally, such a briefing should include cost estimates and 
major modernization components.

Arleigh Burke-class destroyer radar backfit

    The committee notes that Navy witnesses have provided 
testimony to the committee and indicated their recommendation 
to extend the service life of the Arleigh Burke-class 
destroyers for 45 years. Navy notes that expansion of the 
service life will allow Navy to reach the 355-ship Navy by 2036 
or 2037. The committee supports retention of destroyers beyond 
their current service life but notes that such support is 
contingent on providing a comprehensive modernization plan for 
the entirety of the in-service destroyers. As part of this 
overall modernization of the destroyer fleet, the committee 
believes that it is essential the Navy develop a next 
generation maritime radar system for in service Arleigh Burke-
class destroyers to address existing and emerging gaps in 
integrated air and missile defense. The committee understands 
that the Secretary of the Navy is still developing its strategy 
for how to pursue this capability. The committee further 
recognizes that the recent decision to perform a class wide 
service life extension program (SLEP) on all in service 
destroyers could have an impact on the timing of a radar 
backfit program. The committee believes that it would be 
premature to make any decisions regarding specific radars until 
the Secretary has completed a comprehensive threat and 
capabilities based assessment of what will be required for a 
new radar for in service destroyers. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of the Navy to brief the House Armed 
Services Committee on the details of their DDG-51 radar backfit 
strategy once an overall modernization strategy has been 
completed.

MH-60R dipping sonar upgrades

    The committee notes numerous advancements in anti-submarine 
warfare systems preceding the Department of the Navy's MH-60R 
Mid-Life Upgrade in fiscal years 2020 through 2023. 
Specifically, the committee is encouraged by advances in 
dipping sonar utilizing low frequency detection and beam-
forming technologies, allowing multiple boundary interaction 
and interoperability with shipboard sonars and sonobuoys to 
expand the lethality of Navy forces. The committee is concerned 
that the current MH-60R anti-submarine warfare system, the 
airborne low frequency sonar that serves as the primary anti-
submarine warfare sensor in the carrier strike group, has a 
high component failure rate.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by February 1, 2019, on the potential use of existing advanced 
technologies to upgrade the MH-60R fleet. If available 
manufactured systems meet or exceed current legacy technologies 
reliability or capability, then the Department of the Navy is 
encouraged to conduct a full and open competition for MH-60R 
dipping sonar upgrades, repairs, and replacements as part of 
the fleet sustainment of these capabilities.

SPY-6 inherent capabilities

    The committee is aware that next generation AN/SPY-6(V) Air 
and Missile Defense Radars will soon be entering the fleet. As 
the SPY-6 family of radars begin to deploy and better protect 
our service members and allies, the committee is also aware 
that capabilities beyond those designed for nominal radar 
operations may exist. To provide the committee a better 
understanding of the full range of capabilities resident in 
SPY-6(V) radar modular assembly (RMA) based radars, the 
committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide a 
briefing to the House Armed Services Committee on a plan that 
will exploit the inherent capabilities of SPY-6(V) within 90 
days from the enactment of this Act.

Surface ship torpedo defense

    The evolving challenges and tensions in the Indo-Asia-
Pacific region underscore the ongoing requirement for a surface 
ship torpedo defense (SSTD) capability for the Navy's high-
value units. The committee understands that the Chief of Naval 
Operations highlighted this requirement in a 2010 urgent 
operational need statement and that since that time, potential 
regional adversaries have continued to improve their submarine 
and torpedo capabilities. Despite this increasing threat to 
Navy carrier strike groups and surface platforms, and the 
continued SSTD testing success and program maturation, the 
budget request and the Future Years Defense Program 
inadequately support currently deployed systems and cancel 
further development of this SSTD capability.
    The committee is concerned that this decision is based on 
the need to balance several years of inadequate funding 
resources across a range of priorities and that this budgetary 
dynamic is forcing decisions that put at risk the readiness and 
security of U.S. naval and Marine forces without adequate 
alternative plans to mitigate that threat. As raised in 
previous communications with Navy officials, the committee also 
has concerns that the Navy has distributed various SSTD program 
responsibilities among various Navy resource sponsors, which 
has led to a lack of determined support for efficient program 
execution and a lack of focused leadership.
    In light of these concerns, the committee directs the 
Secretary of the Navy to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by October 1, 2018, that includes, 
but is not limited to, the following: an assessment of the 
current and foreseeable torpedo threats facing high-value units 
and the Navy's plan to adequately protect them, a description 
of the requirements for SSTD, an assessment of the development 
program concerning each of the SSTD capability elements, the 
plan to consolidate responsibility of the SSTD program, and the 
plan to manage and sustain currently fielded SSTD systems.

Indoor Simulated Markmanship Trainers

    The budget request contained $52.0 million for Marine Corps 
Training Devices. Of this amount, $2.7 million was requested 
for Indoor Simulated Marksmanship Trainers (ISMTs).
    The ISMT system is a three-dimensional simulation-based 
trainer for indoor use, capable of instructing in basic and 
advanced marksmanship, shoot/no-shoot judgment, combat 
marksmanship, and weapons employment tactics. The committee 
recognizes the value of this training system for remedial and 
virtual instruction to augment live fire upon simulated 
targets. The committee notes the ISMT systems are used both 
within the continental United States (CONUS) and outside CONUS. 
The committee also recognizes the value of this capability in 
that it would allow for rapid generation of new training 
scenarios, thus adding new capability quickly and efficiently 
to meet the training demands resulting from doctrinal and/or 
mission requirement changes. The committee encourages the 
Marine Corps to continue to work with the industrial base to 
improve and upgrade components for the Training Device 
portfolio.
    The committee recommends $2.7 million, the full amount in 
the budget request, for the ISMT system.

Rapid acquisition of Rifle Integrated Controller

    The committee understands the Marine Corps is currently 
evaluating a rifle accessory control unit (RACU) through a two-
phase process that should result in fielding capability 
improvements in the operational performance and close-combat 
lethality of individual marines. The committee understands the 
RACU will be fully integrated with current Marine Corps weapons 
and communication devices and will be evaluated for operational 
utility at the unit level. The committee recognizes the 
challenges that exist for an individual marine to operate 
separate situational awareness, communications, target 
designators, thermal sights, and other battle management 
devices. The committee notes the RACU system would consolidate 
these disparate capabilities into one unified capability. The 
committee is encouraged by the initial feedback regarding the 
performance of the RACU during the phase 1 evaluation. The 
committee understands the phase 2 evaluation should conclude by 
the end of fiscal year 2018.
    The committee expects the Marine Corps to expeditiously 
complete the phase 2 evaluation and, subject to a successful 
evaluation, expects the capability to result in a validated 
requirement. The committee encourages the Commandant of the 
Marine Corps to consider a rapid acquisition strategy to 
accelerate the fielding and procurement of the RACU utilizing 
existing acquisition reform authorities.

A-10 replacement wings

    The base budget request contained $98.7 million for A-10 
aircraft modifications, of which $79.2 million was included for 
the A-10 wing replacement program. The committee notes that 
increases for fiscal years 2017 and 2018 will enable the 
Department of the Air Force to begin a second wing replacement 
program for an additional 110 A-10 replacement wings.
    The committee continues to believe that sustainment of the 
281-aircraft A-10 fleet helps to meet Air Force fighter 
aircraft capacity requirements. The committee notes that A-10 
force structure consists of five Air Reserve Component and four 
Active Duty squadrons, and that any fewer than nine squadrons 
will not meet future combatant commander demand for A-10 
aircraft. Consequently, subsequent to the test and evaluation 
of the F-35A and A-10C required by section 134 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328), the Department should not take any action to reduce the 
number of A-10 squadrons. Accordingly, the committee believes 
the Department of the Air Force should accelerate the A-10 wing 
replacement program.
    The committee recommends $163.7 million in the base budget 
for A-10 modifications, an increase of $65.0 million for the A-
10 wing replacement program.
    The committee also notes that multiyear contracting 
strategies have resulted in more efficient and cost effective 
acquisition programs, and believes such a strategy could also 
result in cost savings for the A-10 wing replacement program. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than February 15, 2019, on Department of the Air 
Force plans to utilize a multiyear contracting strategy to 
procure A-10 replacement wings.
    Additionally, the committee notes that exercising the 
option to deliver the remaining 110 wings on the contract that 
expired in September 2016 could have resulted in cost savings 
compared to current plans to contract separately for a second 
wing replacement program. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of the Air Force to provide a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services, not later than February 15, 2019, 
on the cost of the additional 110 A-10 replacement wings using 
a second contract compared to the cost of exercising the option 
to procure the 110 A-10 replacement wings on the original 
contract.

Air Force enlisted pilot implementation initiatives

    The committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 4, 2019, on the plan to implement the enlisted 
pilot aircrew requirements of Section 1052 of the FY17 NDAA for 
the MQ-9 enterprise of the Active, Guard, and Reserve 
components of the Air Force. Furthermore, the committee directs 
the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a report to the 
congressional defense committees not later than April 1, 2019, 
on the costs, benefits, and feasibility of authorizing enlisted 
Airmen or Warrant Officers as pilots, navigators, or weapon 
systems operators on all Air Force aircraft or rotorcraft 
platforms. The report should also assess and explain any policy 
or guidance impediments that would preclude enlisted Airmen or 
Warrant Officers from serving as pilots, navigators, or weapon 
systems operators.

B-2 secure communication modernization plan

    The committee notes that the Air Force released its 
``Bomber Vector'' in conjunction with its fiscal year 2019 
President's budget request which outlines the future of the B-
1, B-2, B-52, and B-21 bomber fleets. According to this 
document, during development and production of the B-21, the 
Air Force will sustain the B-2 bomber to assure no gaps in 
bomber force availability. In addition to availability, the 
committee is concerned that the B-2 bomber fleet must keep pace 
with the threat level and have no gaps in capability during the 
transition. This is critical as competitor nations increasingly 
field anti-access and area denial weapon systems that impede 
and degrade the Air Force's ability to hold any target at risk 
around the globe.
    The committee is aware that, as noted in the Department of 
Defense fiscal year 2019 budget request, ``modern 
communications are key enablers for the B-2 in the anti-access/
area denial battle-space and directly enhance lethality and 
force multiplication.'' The committee is concerned that the 
Department terminated the Extremely High Frequency Satellite 
Communications program, which provided two-way, high-bandwidth, 
secure, survivable, strategic communication in anti-access and 
area denial environments. In its place, the Air Force has 
chosen to rely on the Common Very-Low-Frequency Receiver (CVR), 
which is to provide the B-2 with receive-only, secure, 
survivable communications.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by February 28, 2019, on the B-2 secure communications 
modernization plan. This briefing should include the following:
    (1) the impact of the Air Force's decision to downgrade B-2 
communications capabilities on the ability of the B-2 to 
perform its critical strike missions in anti-access/area denial 
environments;
    (2) recommend solutions that would enable automated 
transfer of data to the B-2 and enable the aircraft to operate 
in a networked fashion with other elements for the long-range 
strike family of systems and other Air Force and Joint systems; 
and
    (3) provide estimated modernization costs and timelines, 
and consider opportunities to exploit capabilities developed 
for other programs.

C-130H modernization efforts

    The committee notes that the C-130H aircraft that are flown 
primarily by the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve 
continue to provide critical tactical airlift capabilities and 
will continue to support this mission for years to come. The 
committee further notes that in order to sustain mission 
capability and effectiveness, various sustainment and 
improvement initiatives are currently underway. The committee 
supports all of these initiatives however, it does recognize 
that shortfalls still remain. Specifically, the C-130H Avionics 
Modernization Program (AMP) addresses cockpit modernization 
needs of the aircraft however; the AMP program does not include 
the flight engineers control panel, which is a key component of 
the cockpit. Failure to upgrade the flight engineer control 
panel could leave the C-130H fleet with continued obsolescence 
issues post AMP. If the Air Force were to decide to upgrade 
this equipment at a later date, they will have missed the 
efficiencies of conducting those upgrades concurrent with the 
AMP upgrades. Therefore, the committee encourages the Air Force 
to explore the possibility of upgrading the C-130H flight 
engineer overhead control panel using readily available off the 
shelf technology. Furthermore, if the Air Force determines that 
these upgrades are necessary, they should make every effort to 
upgrade the aircraft in parallel with the AMP program in order 
to minimize disruption to the operation of the C-130H fleet and 
mission.

C-130H propulsion systems upgrade

    The budget request contained $22.1 million for procurement 
of C-130 modifications but no funds for C-130H propulsion 
systems upgrades.
    The committee continues to support the upgrade of C-130H/
LC-130H aircraft with the T56 3.5 engine enhancement and NP2000 
8-bladed propeller. The committee notes that the Air National 
Guard (ANG) completed testing of the T56 3.5 engine enhancement 
and reported results that exceeded expectations for fuel 
savings and performance. The committee understands that the ANG 
expects to issue a full test report in the summer of 2018, to 
be followed by a business case analysis for upgrading the 
entire fleet of C-130H/LC-130H aircraft. Additionally, the 
committee is aware that fiscal year 2016 and 2017 propulsion 
upgrade funds have been put on contract. The committee expects 
the Air Force to include the necessary funds to accelerate C-
130H/LC-130H upgrades in future base budgets.
    The committee recommends $129.0 million for the C-130H/LC-
130H propulsion systems upgrade program.

Compass Call transition plan

    The committee supports the Air Force's efforts to 
recapitalize the aging EC-130H Compass Call fleet with the more 
capable EC-37 type aircraft. The committee notes that the Air 
Force must first comply with the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) and the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-
91) before it can carry on with the transition plan. The Air 
Force requested $108.1 million for fiscal year 2019 for one EC-
37. The committee is concerned that the Air Force plan to 
procure one aircraft per year over 10 years in order to 
recapitalize this fleet is not the most efficient way to move 
the capability to the field quickly, and may put the Compass 
Call mission at unacceptable risk of mission failure.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by February 1, 2019, on the Compass Call transition 
plan. This plan should include:
    (1) courses of action to accelerate the recapitalization of 
the EC-130H fleet and Baseline 4 development and deployment for 
incoming EC-37 aircraft;
    (2) attendant timelines for each course of action;
    (3) cost estimates for each course of action;
    (4) recommended course of action and a plan to manage both 
fleets while supporting combatant commander requirements; and
    (5) an assessment of the potential for future cooperative 
development and procurement of EC-37B Compass Call aircraft by 
the Royal Air Force of the United Kingdom and the Royal 
Australian Air Force in a way the leverages the best practices 
of the RC-135 cooperative program arrangement with the Royal 
Air Force of the United Kingdom.

F-15C Eagle Passive Active Warning and Survivability System

    The budget request contained $147.7 million for procurement 
of the F-15 Eagle Passive Active Warning and Survivability 
System (EPAWSS) for the F-15E, but included no funds for 
procurement of F-15C EPAWSS kits. The F-15 EPAWSS provides 
radar warning, geo-location, situational awareness, and self-
protection solutions to detect and defeat surface and airborne 
threats in contested environments.
    The committee notes that the budget request includes $137.1 
million to continue execution of the engineering, manufacturing 
and development phase for F-15 C and E aircraft, which includes 
delivering test assets, development test activities, and 
continued acquisition support for Milestone C. The committee 
also notes that the budget request includes $147.7 million to 
initiate procurement of F-15E EPAWSS kits, but believes that 
procurement of F-15C EPAWSS kits is critical to ensure the F-
15C's survivability on a modern battlefield in the air 
superiority mission.
    Consequently, the committee recommends $214.9 million for 
F-15 EPAWSS procurement, an increase of $67.2 million for 
procurement of four F-15C EPAWSS kits. The committee expects 
that the Department of the Air Force will execute the F-15 
EPAWSS procurement upgrade program for the planned 217 F-15Es 
and 196 F-15Cs.

F-35 autonomic logistics information system

    The F-35 Lightning II is the Department of Defense`s 
largest acquisition program, which will eventually deliver 
2,443 F-35 aircraft to the Departments of the Navy and Air 
Force. The committee believes that the F-35 will form the 
backbone of U.S. air combat superiority for decades to come, 
replacing or complementing the legacy tactical fighter fleets 
of the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps with a dominant, 
multi-role, fifth-generation aircraft capable of projecting 
U.S. power and deterring potential adversaries. The committee 
notes that for the F-35 program's international partners and 
foreign military sales customers who are participating in the 
program, the F-35 will become a cornerstone for future 
coalition operations. The committee believes that the F-35 will 
help to close a crucial capability gap that will enhance the 
strength of our security alliances. The committee, therefore, 
continues its strong support of this essential aircraft 
development and procurement program.
    Consistent with its support of the F-35 program and 
oversight responsibilities, the committee notes that at a 
hearing held by the House Committee on Armed Services' 
Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces on March 7, 2018, 
the Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force witnesses all expressed a 
concern about the autonomic logistics information system 
(ALIS). The Air Force witness testified that the ALIS is 
currently labor-intensive for maintainers and support 
personnel, negatively affecting flight line operations and 
workforce development. During a subcommittee visit to Hill Air 
Force Base, Utah, in April 2018, subcommittee members met with 
Air Force F-35 maintenance personnel who reported that they are 
still very disappointed in the autonomic logistics information 
system, and continue to have to use manual workarounds that 
take time and effort, resulting in lower aircraft availability 
and mission capable rates. Given these ongoing problems, the 
committee will continue to conduct a detailed review of the 
ALIS program.

F-35 canopy transparencies

    The F-35 canopy transparency is the transparent enclosure 
over the cockpit of the F-35 aircraft. The committee notes that 
the F-35 program uses a sole-source contract to procure F-35 
canopy transparencies.
    The committee understands that the F-22 program uses a two-
source acquisition strategy for canopy transparencies, and that 
competition from that acquisition strategy has resulted in a 
more secure supply chain, increased innovation, longer product 
service life, and lower operating costs. Accordingly, the 
committee believes a two-source acquisition strategy for F-35 
canopy transparencies could provide similar benefits.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than December 14, 2018, on the costs, 
benefits, analysis, and schedule impacts of the F-35 program 
using a two-source acquisition strategy for F-35 canopy 
transparencies.

F-35 sustainment affordability

    At a hearing held by the House Committee on Armed Services' 
Subcommittee on Tactical Air and Land Forces on March 7, 2018, 
the witnesses all expressed a concern about current operations 
and sustainment costs and testified that those costs would need 
to be reduced by over 30 percent to make the F-35 operationally 
affordable. At that hearing, the Air Force witness testified 
that if projected overall costs for the F-35 are not reduced, 
the Air Force would not be able to afford its planned 
procurement of 1,763 aircraft. While the F-35 program is 
currently procuring early production lots of F-35 aircraft, the 
committee believes opportunities exist to take actions that 
would reduce future F-35 operations and sustainment costs.
    Accordingly, the committee strongly urges the Secretary of 
the Air Force and the Secretary of the Navy, in concert with 
the F-35 Joint Program Office, to undertake the necessary 
actions to reduce F-35 sustainment costs. The committee 
believes that those actions should include, but not be limited 
to, addressing spare part shortages, addressing technical data 
requirements, accelerating both land- and sea-based 
intermediate maintenance capabilities, and modernization of the 
autonomic logistics information system.
    Additionally, the committee believes that increased F-35 
production rates and larger F-35 economies of scale could also 
help lower unit procurement and sustainment costs. Moreover, 
the committee also believes that advances in potential 
adversary aircraft and surface-to-air missile defense systems 
necessitate a combat fighter force with a higher percentage of 
fifth generation aircraft. Accordingly, the committee strongly 
encourages the Department to increase future F-35 production 
rates.

Future sustainment of remotely piloted aircraft tactical intelligence 
        and strike capabilities

    The budget request contained $946.6 million for procurement 
of 29 MQ-9A aircraft.
    The committee recognizes that the Air Force has a 380 total 
aircraft inventory (TAI) requirement for MQ-9A aircraft, and is 
also using a current metric of 40,000 hours for the MQ-9A 
airframe service-life determination, an increase of 20,000 
hours beyond the validated airframe service-life metric. The 
committee is also waiting to receive a cost-benefit analysis 
(CBA) from the Air Force, required by section 137 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public 
Law 115-91), comparing continued procurement of MQ-9A Block 5 
aircraft versus a transition to procurement of MQ-9B aircraft 
that is still in prototype development by the aircraft 
manufacturer. The committee understands that the Air Force 
could forgo the option of continued Block 5 upgrades to 
existing MQ-9A aircraft, and could pursue an option to 
participate in development and procurement of the MQ-9B 
aircraft, but the committee still lacks the required 
information to make an informed determination as to which 
effort the Air Force should pursue. The committee is also 
concerned by the Air Force's attempt this year to categorize 
MQ-9A aircraft that reach their airframe service-life limit as 
``combat-loss attrition'' to justify additional aircraft 
procurement using Overseas Contingency Operations resources, 
when past practice has been to categorize combat-loss attrition 
only as those aircraft that are destroyed or damaged beyond 
repair due to hostile engagement by adversaries or aircraft 
accidents. The committee is also concerned by the Air Force's 
irregular procurement quantity of aircraft outlined in the 
Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) and assesses that a more 
stable profile is needed.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $796.6 million, a 
decrease of $149.9 million and quantity of 7 aircraft, for a 
total procurement of 22 MQ-9A in fiscal year 2019. This 
decrease will minimize any waste of resources should the 
aforementioned Air Force CBA favor procuring MQ-9B instead of 
continuing MQ-9A Block 5 procurement, and also provide a more 
stable quantity procurement profile during the FYDP without 
harming TAI goals. The committee also expects the Secretary of 
the Air Force to adjust the future strategy for sustainment of 
remotely piloted aircraft tactical intelligence and strike 
capabilities if the CBA determines it best to procure MQ-9B 
aircraft instead of MQ-9A Block 5 aircraft.

OA-X light attack aircraft program

    The budget request contained no funds for the OA-X light 
attack aircraft program. The committee understands that the 
Department of the Air Force intends to include funding for the 
OA-X light attack aircraft program in fiscal year 2020.
    The committee believes that a light attack fighter aircraft 
is a continuing and exigent need to conduct close air support, 
counterinsurgency, armed reconnaissance, and other combat 
operations in more permissive threat environments. The 
committee further believes that procurement of light attack 
aircraft would increase the number of cockpits available to 
season Air Force pilots, thereby providing improvement to 
current pilot personnel shortfalls. Additionally, the committee 
notes that the Air Force Chief of Staff has stated, ``A light 
attack aircraft would not only provide relief to our 4th and 
5th generation aircraft, but also bolster our interoperability 
so we can more effectively employ airpower as an international 
team.''
    Accordingly, the committee encourages the Department of the 
Air Force to accelerate the OA-X light attack program.
    Additionally, to ensure the Department of the Air Force 
procures a low-cost aircraft that will provide cost efficiency 
along with quality capability, the committee encourages the 
Department to use a best value, rather than a lowest price 
technically acceptable, criteria for its source selection 
decision.

Production adjustment for KC-46A air refueling aircraft

    The budget request contained $2.56 billion for the 
procurement of 15 KC-46A air refueling tankers.
    The committee notes that the KC-46A program costs remain 
stable, but the delivery schedule may be further delayed. 
Currently, the Air Force is reporting three category one 
deficiencies including two for the remote vision system (RVS) 
and one for the center-line drogue system (CDS). The Government 
Accountability Office (GAO) observed in its latest report, GAO-
18-353, that the program updated its delivery schedule in 2017 
to allow the defense contractor to delay delivery of the first 
18 fully capable aircraft by 14 months. This delay moved the 
delivery date from August 2017 to October 2018. According to a 
schedule risk assessment and GAO's analysis, if risk is not 
mitigated, deliveries could be delayed further to May 2019, 21 
months from the originally scheduled delivery. The continued 
delays are set to cause a backup of unaccepted aircraft 
awaiting the completion of contractual test and documentation 
requirements. The defense manufacturer believes that it will 
meet the current delivery schedule and that it has taken 
appropriate steps to address all category one deficiencies by 
improving the RVS visual display and fine-tuning CDS software 
to reduce the number of unintended refueling disconnects. Given 
the latest Air Force schedule risk assessment, the committee 
believes the Secretary of the Air Force could use the variation 
in quantity provision in the contract to reduce the procurement 
by three aircraft in fiscal year 2019 without impacting the 
out-year per unit cost of each aircraft. The committee believes 
that the three additional aircraft funded in the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2018 (Public Law 115-141) could be awarded 
in fiscal year 2019 to help mitigate any production line 
impact. Elsewhere in this bill, funds have been limited for the 
procurement of three additional KC-46A aircraft until certain 
conditions are met. Lastly, the committee believes that it is 
warranted to reduce funds for interim contractor support 
concurrent with the late delivery of aircraft. The committee 
intends to provide strict oversight of this issue and review 
timelines to compliance to ensure reductions are aligned with 
ongoing decisions to accept aircraft.
    The committee recommends $2.06 billion, a decrease of 
$499.0 million, for the procurement of 12 KC-46A air refueling 
tankers and $50.0 million for interim contractor support.

RQ-4 Global Hawk and EQ-4 battlefield airborne communications node 
        aircraft

    The budget request contained $23.7 million for RQ-4 Global 
Hawk and EQ-4 modifications, but contained no funding for 
additional EQ-4 aircraft.
    The committee recognizes that both the RQ-4 and EQ-4 
provide critical warfighting capabilities in communications 
relay and high-altitude intelligence, surveillance, and 
reconnaissance (ISR) mission areas for combatant commanders 
(COCOM). The committee is also satisfied that the EQ-4 has 
transitioned to a formal Air Force program of record. However, 
the committee is concerned that the current communication 
architecture for operating the RQ-4 is antiquated, difficult to 
maintain, and limits the Air Force's ability to fully use the 
system to meet COCOM demands for increased capacity and 
capability. The committee also believes that insufficient 
capacity exists for the robust communications capability the 
EQ-4 provides to COCOMs, and that based on current quantity of 
mission support taskings, the EQ-4 fleet of aircraft could 
reach service-life limits quicker than anticipated, creating an 
unmitigated capability gap. The committee supports any Air 
Force plan to initiate development of the RQ-4 Communication 
System Modernization Program (CSMP) in fiscal year 2020 to meet 
combatant commander requirements for expanded airborne 
communications relay and ISR, as well as establish a pathway to 
more quickly meet emerging high-altitude, long-endurance ISR 
and communications requirements.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $128.7 million, an 
increase of $105.0 million, for procurement of one additional 
EQ-4 aircraft and associated modifications. The committee also 
directs the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a report to 
the congressional defense committees, not later than February 
5, 2019, on the RQ-4 CSMP acquisition strategy. The report 
should include an updated RQ-4 CSMP acquisition strategy, 
including a program schedule and budget requirements for 
development, testing, and fielding of the capability, and a 
description of how the Air Force is balancing the resources 
required for CSMP with other efforts to increase RQ-4 sensor 
capabilities over this same time period.

Total Force C-17 Fleet Management Plan

    The committee notes that the Air Force must carefully 
manage the life cycle of each of its 222 C-17 strategic airlift 
aircraft assigned to the Regular, Reserve, and Air National 
Guard Components from an enterprise point of view in order to 
extract the maximum amount of utility from this limited 
resource. The committee is also aware that the Air Force is 
unable to meet its current requirement for strategic airlift as 
outlined by the fiscal year 2013 Mobility Capability 
Requirements Study (MCRS). Furthermore, the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) 
directed the Secretary of Defense to carry out a new MCRS. This 
study is to take into account attrition for the first time, 
which is likely to result in a higher requirement for strategic 
airlift.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by February 1, 2019, on the Total Force C-17 Fleet 
Management Plan. This briefing should include:
    (1) a table and timeline that shows when C-17s will be 
retired by tail number;
    (2) various courses of action that could be pursued and the 
impact to meeting the strategic airlift requirements;
    (3) limitation or impediments to controlling the retirement 
timeline of C-17 aircraft; and
    (4) legislative relief that could enable better management 
of the fleet through retirement.

Total Force KC-135R net centric operations and battlespace awareness

    The committee is aware that all three Air Force components 
of the Total Force (Regular, Air National Guard, and Reserve) 
operate the KC-135 Stratotanker, which is Air Mobility 
Command's primary air refueling platform. The KC-135 provides 
approximately 87 percent of air refueling support to U.S., 
allied, and coalition military aircraft.
    The committee believes that upgrades to KC-135 defensive 
systems, including tactical data link technologies, situational 
awareness displays that bring real-time threat information, and 
secure radio capability, greatly enhance KC-135 air refueling, 
airlift, and aeromedical evacuation missions. These systems are 
meant to protect the aircraft during takeoff, landing, and 
refueling flight regimes. Also, the systems offer protection 
during normal refueling flight operations against both infrared 
and radar-guided air-to-air missiles. Furthermore, the 
committee believes that upgrades to the KC-135 Real-Time 
Information in the Cockpit (RTIC) system would enhance network 
capability and provide a common processing and display platform 
resulting in consolidated situational awareness.
    As reflected in division D of this Act, the committee 
recommends additional funding for the National Guard and 
Reserve Equipment Account. The committee expects the Secretary 
of the Air Force to consider using these funds to modernize the 
Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve with RTIC and self-
protection commercial off-the-shelf solutions through a 
competitive process.

U-2

    The budget request contained $106.9 million in PE 34260F 
for the airborne signals intelligence (SIGINT) enterprise and 
$70.6 million in PE 35202F for U-2 sensor development, but 
contained insufficient funding to develop a single-pod SIGINT 
capability or accelerate electro-optical and infrared sensor 
upgrades.
    The committee supports the Air Force's renewed commitment 
to the U-2 program reflected in the President's budget request 
for fiscal year 2019, and the Future Years Defense Program. To 
ensure the combat capability needed to stay ahead of emerging 
threats, the committee supports accelerating U-2 modernization 
and sustainment efforts. The planned efforts have the potential 
to provide a substantial leap in intelligence capability to the 
warfighter over the upcoming years.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $109.9 million in PE 
34260F, an increase of $3.0 million, for single-pod SIGINT 
development, and recommends $87.6 million in PE 35202F, an 
increase of $17.0 million, to accelerate electro-optical and 
infrared sensor upgrades. The committee also recommends 
elsewhere in this Act an increase of $38.0 million to refurbish 
and restore U-2 tail number 80-1099 to combat-ready status, and 
to provide increased high-altitude intelligence, surveillance, 
and reconnaissance capacity to the combatant commanders.

                     Missile Procurement, Air Force


                       Items of Special Interest


AIM-120 production rate

    The budget request contained $552.7 million for procurement 
of 363 AIM-120 advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles 
(AMRAAM).
    The committee notes that this request is 294 fewer AMRAAM 
missiles than were projected for fiscal year 2019 in last 
year's budget request. The committee notes further that 
additional stocks of the most modern version of the AMRAAM 
missile is a top priority of numerous combatant commands. While 
the committee understands that this production rate drop is due 
to significant delays with the form, fit, function refresh plan 
to address obsolescence issues, it is concerned that the Air 
Force is also limiting production quantities of other AMRAAM 
models sold via foreign military sales (FMS). The committee 
believes that production of additional FMS variants may help 
mitigate risk to the supplier base and overall production 
capacity for the weapon. Therefore, the committee encourages 
the Secretary of Defense to ensure that the AMRAAM production 
line is kept at or near full capacity whenever possible, either 
by increasing production to fill U.S. military requirements or 
by supplementing production for the U.S. military with higher 
FMS production.
    The committee recommends $552.7 million, the full amount 
requested, for AIM-120 AMRAAM procurement.

                      Other Procurement, Air Force


                       Items of Special Interest


Deployable Air Base Systems

    Given increasing threats, the committee supports efforts to 
enhance U.S., allied, and partner airbase resiliency in the 
Indo-Pacific region. The committee is especially supportive of 
the logistics and resiliency investments identified by the 
Commander of U.S. Pacific Command's (PACOM) critical 
investments list as well as the forward air base resiliency 
requirements as identified on PACOM's integrated priority list.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services, no later than December 1, 2018, on potential courses 
of action, to include rapid acquisition strategies to rapidly 
procure Deployable Air Base Systems in order to address 
identified PACOM capability gaps.

                       Procurement, Defense-Wide


                       Items of Special Interest


Common Analytical Laboratory System

    The budget request contained $48.3 million for the Common 
Analytical Laboratory System (CALS), a tool to enable detection 
and identification of chemical, biological, radiological, 
nuclear, and explosive (CBRNE) threats. CALS provides 
analytical lab capabilities in the field, allowing field 
commanders to make faster and more informed response decisions, 
minimizing the effects of CBRNE threats. The committee 
recommends $48.3 million, the amount requested, for the Common 
Analytical Laboratory System.

Multi-Domain Command and Control

    The committee understands the Department of the Air Force 
and Department of the Navy are undertaking efforts to create 
robust Multi-Domain Command and Control (MDC2) capabilities. 
The committee supports each Department's plans to ensure MDC2 
program efforts are leveraging rapid experimentation and 
fielding of forward-deployed modular mission Systems for 
resilient communications and high-performance computing 
resources for the MDC2 mission.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force and the Secretary of the Navy to provide a briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services by September 1, 2018, 
that explains future funding and any other requirements to 
achieve rapid experimentation and fielding of MDC2 capabilities 
to the warfighter.

         TITLE II--RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST, AND EVALUATION

           Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Army


                       Items of Special Interest


Accelerated integration to counter emerging threats

    The Committee supports the accelerated integration 
capability to counter emerging threats being initiated by the 
Program Executive Office, Missiles and Space. The Army is 
developing a government-owned capability to provide cyber-
robust networked weapon systems designed to operate within 
rapidly evolving threat timelines.
    The Committee understands this is being accomplished 
through a unique approach to adapt and respond to real-time 
threats, dramatically accelerating the timeline to employ 
resilience in networked weapon systems.
    The Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide 
a briefing to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives by March 1, 2019, on the status of progress 
being made through this accelerated program.

Assured Position, Navigation and Timing

    In response to global peer threats and demands from 
combatant commanders, the committee last year expressed its 
concern that the Army was not moving fast enough to field 
Assured Position Navigation and Timing (APNT) solutions. APNT 
solutions are required because of the reliance of military 
vehicles, communications and weapons systems on precise 
position, navigation and timing. The committee understands that 
strategic high-end competitors possess the capability to 
disrupt systems that depend on GPS which could pose an 
unacceptable level of risk to U.S. operations in GPS-denied 
environments. The committee notes the Army has stood up a Cross 
Functional Team (CFT) pilot to rapidly assess material 
development solutions to address the APNT mission area and 
perceived capability gaps.
    In response to Section 236 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2018, the Army submitted a 
report to the congressional defense committees dated March 
30th, 2018 that described its approach to test various systems 
at White Sands Missile Range in the 3rd Quarter of Fiscal Year 
2018. The Army's report further described fielding both the A 
kits and B kits of a Quick Reaction Capability to specific 
units starting in the Second Quarter of Fiscal Year 2019. The 
committee understands that this testing is ongoing.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army, in 
coordination with the Director of the Army's APNT CFT pilot, to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
September 1, 2018 that outlines potential courses of action to 
begin immediate procurement of these systems, subject to 
successful test and evaluations.

Targeted Soldier Borne Sensor efforts

    The committee is encouraged by the Army's efforts to field 
the new Soldier Borne Sensor (SBS) capability to the warfighter 
and is encouraged by the Army's recognition of this capability 
requirement at the squad level. The committee understands the 
additional visual and situational awareness provided by the 
sensor to the warfighter will improve the survivability and 
lethality of the force. The committee also notes that a 
capability to operate within high-threat and GPS-denied areas, 
including but not limited to indoors and within tunnels, is 
currently available with SBS technologies under evaluation. 
However, the committee understands there are concerns regarding 
the current generation of thermal sensors associated with 
ongoing SBS technology evaluations. Specifically, the committee 
understands that current thermal sensors reportedly do not 
provide sufficient resolution to meet desired performance 
objectives. The committee encourages the Secretary of the Army 
to focus development efforts to accelerate technology 
development of electro-optic and infrared sensors that could be 
carried by the SBS.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
September 28, 2018, on current development efforts to address 
and resolve concerns regarding electro-optic and infrared 
sensor capabilities within the SBS platform. This briefing 
shall also include a detailed analysis of the electro-optic and 
infrared sensor technologies under evaluation and a plan for 
addressing the SBS requirement.

Computational molecular modeling and simulation for material 
        development

    The committee is aware the use of modeling and simulation 
during development of materials and other technologies may 
result in cost savings and other benefits, such as enhanced 
lethality and survivability. The committee understands that 
computational molecular modeling and simulation results 
subsequently tested using cold spray synthesis and mechanical 
testing have resulted in new repair techniques for armor, 
helmets, and other personal protective equipment. The 
committee, therefore, encourages the Army Research Lab to 
continue the utilization of computational molecular research 
for material development.

Future digital munitions and integration

    The committee recognizes the importance for the Army to 
retain lethality overmatch within its aviation portfolio. The 
committee continues to support the Army's Future Vertical Lift 
and Joint Multi-Role technology demonstration initiatives. 
However, the committee is concerned about the Army's ability to 
mitigate Apache helicopter and Grey Eagle Unmanned Aerial 
System munitions and launcher obsolescence limitations for the 
foreseeable future. The committee believes existing and 
emerging threats are key factors to ensuring lethality 
overmatch. As digital aviation-launched munitions evolve, the 
need for the Army to retain flexibility in aircraft to 
munitions integration is critical to ensuring Army Aviation 
platforms retain a decisive edge.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than September 15, 2018, on the following:
    (1) all requirements, acquisition program plans, and 
developmental initiatives that address the modernization 
strategy for all aviation platform munitions and launchers 
beyond currently fielded systems; and
    (2) recommendations on the utility for any development 
efforts that would modernize aviation launchers and munitions.

Future Vertical Lift

    The committee understands that dedicated investment in 
incremental rotorcraft upgrades has kept America's current 
vertical lift aviation capabilities viable, and will continue 
to enable the fleet to bridge capability gaps through the near 
term. The committee believes that as more dangerous threats 
emerge at an accelerated pace in the mid-term, unwavering 
investment in advanced future disruptive technologies like 
Future Vertical Lift (FVL) will enable rotorcraft aviation to 
retain overmatch through significant capability improvements in 
reach, speed, protection, and lethality.
    The committee notes that the Army leads the Department of 
Defense's rotorcraft technology portfolio, which needs 
additional research and development funding to regain America's 
world leadership in rotorcraft innovation. Because of America's 
eroding lead in rotorcraft capability, the committee encourages 
the Department to explore opportunities to accelerate the FVL 
program in order to meet national security challenges. The 
committee expects the Department to maximize full and open 
competition in doing so.
    The committee believes that fiscal years 2019 and 2020 are 
pivotal years for the FVL modernization efforts, as critical 
technology demonstrations provide essential evidence during the 
completion of the FVL analysis of alternatives, and the Army 
uses this data and analysis to inform its path forward. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
December 3, 2018, on the outcome of the analysis of 
alternatives and on any other analysis utilized in deciding the 
Army's priority of rotorcraft investment for FVL prior to the 
release of a request for proposal.

Harnessing Emerging Research Opportunities to Empower Soldiers

    The committee is aware of the work being done by the Army's 
Warfighter Technology directorate in improving the protection, 
survivability, mobility, and combat effectiveness of the Army. 
The committee is also aware of Harnessing Emerging Research 
Opportunities to Empower Soldiers (HEROES), an ongoing joint 
research and development initiative involving both academia and 
industry. The committee understands that the HEROES initiative 
accelerates research and innovation through integration of 
intellectual assets and research facilities, such as those at 
Natick Laboratory and others. The committee believes programs 
like HEROES provide benefit to research in areas of advanced 
ballistic polymers for body armor, fibers to make uniforms more 
fire resistant, and lightweight structures for advanced 
shelters that provide tangible benefits to the warfighter. 
Therefore, the committee encourages the Army to continue to 
support such programs.

High energy laser systems integration laboratory

    The committee has continuing interest in the Army's 
research, development, and testing of high energy laser weapons 
systems. The committee is aware of the Army's efforts to 
develop a high energy laser system integration laboratory in 
order to provide an interactive means to conduct warfighter 
assessments and develop the tactics, techniques, and procedures 
required to employ this technology. The committee recognizes 
this integration will be critical in bridging the gap from 
developmental technology to operational capability, while 
mitigating risk and ensuring warfighter utility. The committee 
encourages the Army to continue to mature the high energy laser 
system integration lab, as well as the benefit these activities 
provide to the research, development, and testing of directed 
energy weapons.

Improved Turbine Engine Program

    The Improved Turbine Engine Program (ITEP) is a competitive 
acquisition program designed to develop a more fuel efficient 
and powerful engine to upgrade and enhance the performance and 
operational readiness of the current Black Hawk and Apache 
helicopter fleets. This new engine will increase operational 
capabilities in high altitudes and hot conditions while 
reducing operating and support costs. The committee has 
supported significant Army investments into competitive 
technology development programs for turbine engines over the 
past decade. During this time, the Army has made significant 
progress in maturing technologies that will lower ITEP 
programmatic risk with the goal of improving warfighting 
capabilities. In addition, the committee has encouraged the 
Army to prioritize maintenance and sustainment costs for ITEP 
to ensure the continued affordability of the program.
    The committee also acknowledges the benefits of improved 
fuel efficiencies through lower specific fuel consumption that 
the ITEP will bring to the battlefield. This program represents 
a cost-effective approach to modernizing Army aviation and the 
committee continues to encourage the Army to pursue 
opportunities to accelerate the fielding of this capability. 
The committee recognizes 2019 as a crucial year for the program 
with Engineering Manufacturing Development (EMD) source 
selection slated for first quarter fiscal year 2019. Given the 
positive progress of this critical program, the committee is 
fully funding ITEP in fiscal year 2019 and encourages the Army 
to robustly fund ITEP in the EMD phase of the program.

Initial Maneuver-Short Range Air Defense capability

    The committee is aware that the Army's critical capability 
gap for Air and Missile Defense remains protecting maneuvering 
forces. The committee understands that Army maneuver formations 
require short range air defense (SHORAD) and counter-UAS (CUAS) 
capabilities that can cover a wide range of air threats to 
include: unmanned aircraft systems (UAS), rotary wing (RW), 
fixed wing (FW), and rockets artillery and mortars (RAM). As 
such, the committee understands the Army is pursuing cross-
domain, multi-dimensional solutions that can address these 
threats as part of a maneuver short-range air defense and 
indirect fires protection capability. The committee encourages 
the Army to consider areas where commonality exists between 
current CUAS and SHORAD mission platforms and technologies.
    The committee understands the Army has formalized a 
directed requirement to initiate integration and procurement of 
an initial Maneuver-Short Range Air Defense (IM-SHORAD) 
capability on a Stryker combat vehicle. The IM-SHORAD directed 
requirement requires capability to counter threats posed by 
UAS, RW, FW, and RAM, as well as address an emerging 
operational need in support of Operation Atlantic Resolve to 
provide air and missile defense protection of Stryker and 
Armored Brigade Combat Teams. The committee understands the 
acquisition strategy to support this directed requirement is 
still being developed.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
September 14, 2018, on the Army's accelerated acquisition 
strategy for the IM-SHORAD initiative, as well as identify 
requirements that are similar to both the SHORAD and CUAS 
missions. The briefing should also address capabilities 
currently under development or already fielded that could 
simultaneously address the CUAS and M-SHORAD mission areas.

Iron Dome experimentation and assessment for short-range air defense

    The budget request included $38.0 million in PE 64020A for 
cross functional team (CFT) advanced development and 
prototyping.
    The committee understands the Army established six CFT 
pilots to examine how the Army could leverage existing 
resources and accelerate getting needed capability to the 
warfighter. The Army's critical capability gap for Air and 
Missile Defense (AMD) remains protecting the maneuvering force 
and is aware the AMD CFT pilot is focused on accelerating 
delivery of a maneuver short-range air defense (SHORAD) 
capability. The committee commends the AMD CFT for getting an 
approved directed requirement for an interim-maneuver SHORAD 
capability that accelerated the original schedule by 5 years. 
The committee notes the AMD CFT is also reviewing other AMD 
capability gaps for the protection of fixed and semi-fixed 
sites. The committee expects the AMD CFT to immediately address 
capability gaps in the areas of indirect fire protection 
capability and AMD.
    Since 2011, Congress has provided over $1.5 billion for the 
procurement of Iron Dome batteries for the State of Israel, a 
system with demonstrated capability against a wide-range of 
threats. There is value in experimenting with the Iron Dome 
system through demonstrations to assess operational suitability 
for the fixed and semi-fixed site AMD mission, and M-SHORAD 
missions. Such demonstrations will evaluate challenges 
associated with integration of the Iron Dome command and 
control system with the existing AMD C2 system and sensors.
    The committee recommends $68.0 million, an increase of 
$30.0 million, in PE 64020A to support the acquisition of Iron 
Dome hardware and associated integration activities, for the 
operational demonstration of the Iron Dome system against a 
range of threats to evaluate issues associated with the 
following:
    (1) integrating the Iron Dome launcher into a U.S. Army AMD 
architecture for complimentary support of fixed, semi-fixed, 
and M-SHORAD operations;
    (2) re-designing the Iron Dome launcher to be compatible 
with the Indirect Fire Protection Capability Multi-Mission 
Launcher; and
    (3) potential options for accelerating development of the 
Skyhunter missile.
    Further, the committee directs the Director of the AMD CFT 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by April 2, 2019, on the Army's plans for this experiment and 
demonstration. If warranted by the demonstration results, the 
committee directs the Director of the AMD CFT to provide a 
follow-on briefing on the advisability and feasibility of 
rapidly transitioning Iron Dome hardware for immediate use, 
with budgetary recommendations and schedules for accelerated 
procurement of additional systems.

Lightweight metal matrix composite technology for combat and tactical 
        vehicles

    In the committee report (H. Rept. 115-200) accompanying the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018, the 
committee recognized the versatility and broad application that 
Metal Matrix Composite (MMC) Technology provides for the Armed 
Forces by reducing the weight of parts by 50 percent and 
increasing their service life by three to four times that of 
traditional steel parts. The committee understands the U.S. 
Army Tank and Automotive Research, Development, and Engineering 
Command (TARDEC) is currently evaluating technologies that can 
reduce vehicle weight, reduce fuel consumption, increase 
payload capacity, and extend service life of combat and 
tactical vehicles, and that MMC technology is part of this 
ongoing evaluation. The committee supports these efforts and 
recommends the U.S. Army TARDEC continue to test MMC 
technology, develop and field components that can reduce 
vehicle weight, reduce fuel consumption, increase payload 
capacity, and extend service life.

M119 105mm self-propelled artillery system technology

    The committee understands the Army is examining the 
operational benefits of procuring a self-propelled 105mm 
howitzer in order to address existing capability gaps for 
infantry brigade combat teams (IBCTs) indirect fires 
capabilities. The committee understands that recent 
demonstrations as part of the Army's Maneuver and Fires 
Integration Experiment at Fort Sill produced positive results. 
The committee supports continued demonstrations of this 
capability and is aware of a potential future demonstration 
under consideration by the 18th Airborne Corps. The committee 
understands the demonstrated system incorporated artillery soft 
recoil technology with existing 105mm artillery systems and 
then integrated these technologies onto an existing light 
tactical vehicle. The committee expects the outcomes from these 
demonstrations to inform future operational requirements and 
procurement strategies.
    The committee believes this capability could enable the 
Army to achieve significant improvements in combat capability 
and lethality through only a modest reinvestment of funding for 
current or future planned M119 105mm howitzer modifications. 
Further, the committee also believes a light, self-propelled 
105mm artillery system could substantially improve the 
deterrence posture of the U.S. Army and allied armies in Europe 
that may face sophisticated, quick-fire counter-battery 
systems.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army, in 
coordination with the Directors of the Long-Range Precision 
Fires and Soldier Lethality cross-functional teams, to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by December 
14, 2018, on the advisability and feasibility of rapidly 
accelerating the testing, evaluation, and procurement of a 
self-propelled 105mm howitzer to address the indirect fire 
capability gaps in IBCTs. The briefing shall include feedback 
and results from recent demonstrations of self-propelled 105mm 
howitzer technology, specifically the demonstration that 
occurred as part of the Army's Maneuver and Fires Integration 
Experiment at Fort Sill.

Mobile camouflage system

    The committee notes the longstanding success of our allied 
partner nations who employ mobile camouflage systems on their 
combat vehicles, especially within the North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization and the European theater. These relatively 
inexpensive camouflage net systems provide enhanced signature 
management protection, reduce heat and temperature inside and 
around combat vehicles, and yield fuel savings without 
interfering with the operation of the vehicles. Army commanders 
have expressed an immediate operational need for mobile 
camouflage systems, in particular woodland, desert, and Arctic 
variants. The committee is aware of the Army's ongoing 
operational testing of mobile camouflage systems at the 
National Training Center, and encourages further acceleration 
of those efforts.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
September 28, 2018, that outlines the mobile camouflage system 
test results and the Army's plan and timeline to fund the 
accelerated development and fielding of these systems to the 
warfighter.

Personal Protective Equipment advance technology development

    The budget request contained $18.0 million in PE 63827A for 
soldier systems-advanced development.
    The committee recognizes advancements the military services 
have made in researching and developing materials for Personal 
Protective Equipment (PPE). The committee notes that this work 
has steadily reduced the weight of and increased ballistic 
protection for items like helmets, body armor, and protective 
undergarments designed for the men and women of the Armed 
Forces. The committee understands, based on the views of senior 
defense laboratory scientists, that further research on current 
materials, such as ceramics and Kevlar, are experiencing 
diminishing returns. The committee supports further research on 
advanced materials like high molecular weight polyethylene film 
and new and harder ceramics like boron suboxide.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $28.0 million, an 
increase of $10.0 million, in PE 63827A for PPE advanced 
materials research.

Shoot-on-the-Move experimentation for short range air defense systems

    The budget request contained $61.1 million in PE 63313A for 
Missile and Rocket Advanced Technology, to include investment 
in missile components enabling detection and full kinematic 
capabilities to develop shoot-on-the-move capability for future 
short range air defense (SHORAD).
    The committee is aware the Army is currently pursuing a 
near-term maneuver short range air defense (M-SHORAD) 
capability; however, the near-term solution will not include a 
shoot-on-the-move capability. The committee understands the 
capability to shoot-on-the-move would potentially be considered 
as a future capability requirement as part of follow-on M-
SHORAD increments. The committee believes that the development 
and demonstration of a shoot-on-the-move capability could 
enable future combat formations to be protected from modern and 
advanced air and missile delivered fires while maneuvering, and 
enable continuous force protection during offensive operations.
    The committee recommends $71.1 million, an increase of 
$10.0 million, in PE 63313A to accelerate the development and 
potential demonstration of shoot-on-the-move capability for M-
SHORAD platforms and associated systems.

Soldier power and composite armor development

    The budget request contained $28.6 million in PE 62105A for 
Materials Technology research.
    The committee understands that soldier power and composite 
armor technology development is critical to meeting the 
increased power demands of soldiers' equipment, while reducing 
weight. The committee recognizes that conformal wearable 
battery technology provides a lightweight, flexible power 
solution that offers greater mobility and flexibility than 
current capabilities, while streamlining the various battery 
types and sizes carried by the soldiers. The committee notes 
these capabilities provide soldiers with expeditionary power, 
as well as multiple power management alternatives that are all 
designed for combat operations in austere environments and can 
be tailored to any mission. The committee supports these 
programs and believes that they will help to reduce the 
soldiers' combat carrying load, while meeting the future 
demands of an increased power burden as well as maximizing 
survivability and protection. The committee encourages the Army 
to continue to work with the industrial base to improve and 
upgrade components in the soldier power and composite armor 
portfolio to potentially reduce weight and cost, as well as to 
improve overall performance.
    The committee recommends $29.6 million, an increase of $1.0 
million, in PE 62105A for Materials Technology research.

Squad multipurpose equipment transport

    The committee understands the Army is conducting a 12-month 
technology demonstration leading to a capabilities production 
document and eventual procurement of a squad multipurpose 
equipment transport system (SMET). The SMET is an unmanned 
ground vehicle that will transport equipment for specific 
missions, resupply, and extended operations, thereby reducing 
soldier load and increasing squad mobility. The committee 
supports the Army's use of other transaction authority to 
achieve a rapid start to this effort, and encourages the Army 
to seek additional ways to expedite acquisition of this 
critical capability.
    The committee directs the Army's Program Executive Officer 
for Combat Support and Combat Service Support to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by November 
30, 2018, that includes:
    (1) options to accelerate this acquisition strategy;
    (2) courses of action to ensure the delivered system meets 
all key performance parameters;
    (3) findings and analysis from the user evaluations 
conducted by two brigade combat teams; and
    (4) an assessment of each variant's reliance on generators 
versus batteries, power generation capabilities, noise 
signatures, abilities to adapt to additional systems such as 
flail and mine rollers, dual stretchers, backhoe and loader 
kits, as well as any other capabilities considered to be 
essential by the program executive officer.

Supercavitating ammunition technology

    In the committee report accompanying the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (H. Rept. 115-200), the 
committee noted that supercavitating ammunition can be used in 
various operational environments, including air-to-air, water-
to-water, air-to-water, and water-to-air, and that this 
technology could potentially address critical mission 
capability gaps for the warfighter. The committee also directed 
the U.S. Army Program Executive Officer (PEO) for Ammunition, 
who acts as the single manager of all conventional ammunition, 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
on the current status of supercavitating ammunition technology 
across the Department ammunition enterprise. The briefing 
acknowledged that the entire ammunition enterprise of the 
Department of Defense recognizes the value of supercavitating 
ammunition, and indicated that several efforts are underway to 
evaluate its performance. The committee notes that this 
technology is currently in use by the Department of the Navy 
and that other organizations in the Department of Defense are 
evaluating supercavitating small caliber ammunition. The 
committee is pleased that the Department of Defense is 
continuing to evaluate the performance of this technology and 
remains supportive of these efforts.
    Therefore, the committee directs the PEO for Ammunition, in 
coordination with all relevant Department of Defense agencies, 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by September 14, 2018, on all current test and evaluation 
activity currently ongoing and planned for supercavitating 
ammunition technology.

Third Generation Forward-Looking Infrared development

    The committee is aware of a growing parity in U.S. Army 
sights and sensors against current and emerging threats, 
particularly when it comes to combat vehicle platforms. The 
committee is concerned that the Third Generation Forward-
Looking Infrared (FLIR) development program is proceeding at 
too slow of a pace to ensure it will enter production as an 
integrated system in the next Abrams tank and Bradley Fighting 
Vehicle upgrades.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by March 15, 2019, on the Army's plans to synchronize the Third 
Generation FLIR program with the M1A2 SEP V4 Abrams Upgrade and 
M2A5 Bradley Fighting Vehicle upgrade. The briefing should also 
include potential courses of action for, and costs associated 
with, the acceleration of Third Generation FLIR development.

Transport telemedicine system

    The committee is aware that the Department of Defense is 
developing capabilities that would provide telemedicine and 
remote physiological monitoring for casualty care of deployed 
forces. The committee recognizes that such telemedicine 
capabilities can provide useful reachback support for complex 
injuries, especially for sensitive organs where combat medics 
and surgeons may not have in-depth specialty training. The 
committee encourages the Department to continue to experiment 
with and examine ways to use emerging telemedicine capabilities 
to allow for consultation with specialty subject matter experts 
to provide soldiers on the battlefield with access to high-
quality care for complex and difficult injuries. Additionally, 
the committee supports the idea of partnering with subject 
matter experts in order to provide direct, real-time 
consultation between geographically dispersed military and 
civilian medical personnel; this would support complex 
diagnostic and surgical problems, as well as allow conferencing 
for complicated, but less urgent, patient management decisions 
and virtualized training and continuing medical education.

Urban warfare training

    The committee has continuing interest in the Department of 
Defense's ability to prepare for and operate in complex, 
densely populated urban terrain. Recent trends reflect that the 
future of global violence is urban, and that the next war will 
likely be fought in densely populated cities. The committee is 
supportive of the Department's ongoing efforts, but remains 
concerned with the lack of Army prioritization and resourcing 
to address these challenges. The committee is particularly 
concerned with the Army's lack of realistic training sites that 
reflect the scale and density of real-world urban operating 
environments. The committee believes the Army should more 
aggressively prepare for urban warfare and explore the 
construction of an urban warfare training center that focuses 
on basic and advanced skills to fight, survive, and win in 
urban operating environments. This training should address the 
challenges associated with vertical, subterranean, and dense 
urban terrain, and the inclusion and integration of joint and 
interagency enablers.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than February 1, 2019, on the Army's plan for urban 
warfare training. The report should include:
    (1) a description of urban warfare training requirements;
    (2) an overview of a plan and timeline to integrate urban 
warfare training within the Army;
    (3) an identification of costs associated with an urban 
warfare training program;
    (4) a feasibility study on the construction of an urban 
warfare training center;
    (5) feasibility of utilizing existing private facilities 
and contracting training iterations until a final DOD facility 
can be constructed;
    (6) any critical technology, maneuver, or mobility 
shortfalls associated with operating in a dense urban 
environment; and
    (7) force design impacts or considerations within the Army.

           Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Navy


                       Items of Special Interest


Academic partnerships for undersea unmanned warfare research

    The budget request contained $58.0 million in PE 62747N for 
undersea warfare applied research.
    The committee supports the Navy's efforts to develop the 
next generation of nuclear submarines and other undersea 
systems and capabilities. Specifically, the committee supports 
research, development, testing, and demonstration of maritime 
robotic systems that may be used for security and surveillance, 
inspection and survey, munitions retrieval, and environmental 
monitoring.
    The committee understands that there are additional 
opportunities to enhance development of the next generation 
submarines and maritime robotics technology in the areas of 
autonomy, adaptive decision making, docking, 3-D imaging, 
energy technologies such as marine and hydrokinetic convertors, 
and data transfer. The committee believes that university-based 
research and innovation centered on the development of maritime 
robotic technology and other capabilities required for advanced 
undersea warfare will be essential in maintaining the Navy's 
competitive advantage.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $78.0 million, an 
increase of $20.0 million, in PE 62747N. Elsewhere in this 
title, the committee notes the importance of partnerships with 
academia to advance unmanned platforms and systems in order to 
maintain a competitive war fighting advantage.

Artificial intelligence and computer vision technologies in Navy 
        unmanned systems

    The committee has continuing interest in the Navy's ability 
to leverage artificial intelligence, machine learning, and 
computer vision in exploitation and analysis. The committee 
also recognizes the increasing amounts of imagery and other 
sensor data that Navy unmanned undersea and unmanned surface 
vessels generate, and the demand this creates for additional 
processing, exploitation, management, and dissemination of 
information. The committee recommends the Navy synchronize 
their efforts with the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Intelligence, and ensure that unmanned undersea and unmanned 
surface vessel computer vision and artificial intelligence 
requirements are incorporated into Project Maven and other 
Department of Defense research and development programs. The 
committee supports the Department's initiatives to leverage 
commercial technology and innovative solutions to rapidly 
address current Department challenges, and believes the Navy 
can benefit from similar capabilities.

Briefing for the Senate Committee on Armed Services and the House 
        Committee on Armed Services on US Navy's efforts to expand 
        carrier air wing long-range strike capability

    The committee notes that the aircraft carrier air wing has 
been optimized for striking power and sortie generation and 
believes that it may not be configured to support the long-
range strike required by current and future threat systems. 
While the introduction of the F-35C will significantly expand 
stealth capabilities, the F-35C could require increased range 
to address necessary targets. The committee believes that 
several options could be used to address this issue to include 
developing a stealth tanker capability, improved engine 
technology or to develop and procure a strike capability that 
is purposely built to strike at increased range. The committee 
further notes that the Navy previously desired to significantly 
increase the carrier air wing range with the development of the 
A-12 aircraft. The committee understands that the A-12 would 
have included a 5,000-pound internal carriage payload, stealth, 
and a range of 800 nautical miles. While the committee believes 
that requirements to support this capability remain relevant 
and the technology available, the development of the A-12 
aircraft was mired in acquisition challenges that eventually 
resulted in the cancellation of the program. While the 
committee further believes that the Department of Defense has 
successfully developed a suite of long-range intelligence, 
surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities, the committee 
also believes that it is vital that the Navy develop a carrier-
based long-range strike capability.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to provide a briefing to the Senate Committee on Armed Services 
and the House Committee on Armed Services by January 25, 2019, 
on options to expand the strike range of a carrier air wing in 
a contested environment, including manned and unmanned 
capabilities, and, Department of the Navy capabilities it plans 
to pursue in the Next Generation Air Dominance capability.

Briefing on Navy support for research into autonomous systems

    The committee is aware of the Robotarium, a laboratory 
hosted at the Georgia Institute of Technology, sponsored by the 
Office of Naval Research (ONR), where researchers conduct 
experiments with interconnected, heterogeneous unmanned ground 
and aerial systems. The committee is supportive of 
competitively awarded grant programs that enhance academia's 
ability to conduct complex experiments with autonomous systems. 
As the role of autonomous systems in operations is expected to 
grow, the Committee believes it will be increasingly important 
for ONR to continue to fund initiatives that prepare future 
engineers to conduct cutting edge research in this discipline, 
especially with different classes of autonomous systems 
including unmanned underwater vehicles, unmanned surface 
vehicles, and unmanned aerial vehicles operating simultaneously 
across multiple domains. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Director of ONR to brief the House Committee on Armed Services 
by November 1, 2018, on initiatives that enhance the ability of 
academia to conduct complex experiments with autonomous 
systems.

Briefing on ongoing engine noise reduction efforts

    The Committee continues to support ongoing efforts to 
reduce engine noise from the F-414 engine on the F/A-18 E/F 
Super Hornet and E/A-18 G Growler.
    Attachments, known as chevrons, could reduce the noise 
associated with operations of these aircraft. A reduction in 
engine noise would benefit sailors working in close proximity 
to the aircraft, particularly on the carrier deck, and 
communities near installations home to these squadrons.
    Having received the briefing required by the House Report 
to the Fiscal Year 2018 National Defense Authorization Act, the 
committee is aware that the Navy may be requesting authority to 
reprogram Fiscal Year 2018 funding in order to engineer, 
manufacture, proof and test redesigned chevrons. The Committee 
supports such a request, provided the funding source is a 
program with unexecutable funds.
    The Committee is aware that these funds would be used to 
develop an improved chevron design which could achieve 
significant noise reduction at full military power. The 
committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to brief the House 
Committee on Armed Services no later than September 30, 2018 on 
engineering plans for Fiscal Year 2018 and 2019 and potential 
applications of chevron designs to additional aircraft.

Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services

    The committee acknowledges the Navy's efforts to modernize 
the functions of its existing command, control, communications, 
computers, and intelligence network systems through 
Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services (CANES) 
installation. The committee recognizes that, through CANES, the 
Navy seeks to build a more responsive and adaptable information 
technology platform by creating a common computing environment 
that will increase capabilities, address cybersecurity 
vulnerabilities, and lower sustainment costs across the fleet. 
Therefore, the committee continues to support full deployment 
of CANES, as scheduled, to ensure the Navy's networking 
environment remains adequately equipped for information 
warfare.

Defense University Research Instrumentation Program

    The budget request contained $119.4 million in PE 61103N 
for University Research Initiatives.
    The Defense University Research Instrumentation Program 
(DURIP), administered by the Office of Naval Research, provides 
academic institutions conducting research for the Department of 
Defense the ability to acquire the necessary infrastructure to 
support high-quality research. Additionally, the 
instrumentation developed and acquired through the DURIP 
process ensures that the next generation of scientists and 
engineers are trained with cutting-edge capabilities for the 
defense science and technology workforce. The committee 
understands there is additional opportunity for the Navy to 
facilitate research in an area of interest to the Navy through 
the DURIP program.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $129.4 million, an 
increase of $10.0 million, in PE 61103N, to support the 
acquisition of infrastructure required by universities to 
conduct cutting-edge Navy research.

Directed energy and non-lethal weapons technology policy and guidance

    The budget request contained $27.6 million in PE 63851M for 
Joint Non-Lethal Weapons testing.
    The committee continues to support the Department of 
Defense's efforts to develop non-lethal technologies as a 
materiel solution to provide military commanders with a non-
lethal capability to protect military bases, security 
perimeters, and other secured spaces. The committee 
acknowledges the importance of these technologies as a force 
multiplier that gives service members more options, and 
minimizes civilian casualties and collateral damage. Recent 
development efforts of High Power Radio Frequency directed 
energy technologies have advanced these weapons to a maturity 
that can be used globally by the military services and 
combatant commands to stop vehicles, vessels, and other 
systems. The committee is concerned that the lack of policy, 
strategy, and guidance for employment of these non-lethal 
weapons has limited the potential benefits of deploying these 
technologies for use more broadly across the combatant 
commands.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by November 1, 2018, on the future strategy for non-lethal 
weapons, including development of appropriate policy and 
guidance for employment. The briefing should also describe the 
current organizational structure of the non-lethal weapons 
program and consider the assignment of a joint proponent for 
non-lethal weapons who would be responsible for coordinating 
command requirements, facilitating policy development, and 
setting conditions for further integration of these 
capabilities.
    The committee recommends $32.6 million, an increase of $5.0 
million, in PE 63851M for the Non-Lethal Weapons program.

E2-D Advanced Hawkeye Identification Friend or Foe

    The budget request contained $223.6 million for the E-2D 
Advanced Hawkeye program.
    The committee notes that the E-2D Identification Friend or 
Foe (IFF) Interrogation System has certain limitations at long 
range. These limitations affect the ability of the crewmembers 
to identify threats at range, reducing critical time to react. 
The committee also notes that applying meta-materials to the E-
2D IFF system may improve the E-2D IFF range detection and 
overall ability of the fleet to react against distant threats.
    The committee recommends $225.6 million, an increase of 
$2.0 million, for the E-2D Advanced Hawkeye program.

Joint Air-to-Ground Missile for fixed wing aircraft (JAGM-F) 
        integration

    The committee notes the Department of the Navy, with the 
eventual retirement of the Maverick missile has similar 
requirements as the Air Force for Joint Air-to-Ground Fixed 
(JAGM-F) missile on its AV-8B Harrier, F/A-18C/D/E/F Hornet, 
and F-35B/C aircraft. JAGM-F is an improvement to the Army's 
JAGM which will allow the missile to be eject-launched from 
fixed-wing aircraft to eliminate time sensitive moving targets 
and high value covered/sheltered and armored targets. The 
committee understands JAGM-F will be able to combat adverse 
weather, low visibility and austere communication environments 
on land and at sea while engaging multiple targets near 
simultaneously in multiple engagement modes.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by February 8, 2019 that provides potential options for 
accelerating Navy and Marine Corps efforts with respect to 
integrating JAGM on fixed-wing aircraft.

Marine Corps Group 5-class unmanned aircraft development

    The budget request contained $25.3 million in PE 34240M for 
development of advanced tactical unmanned aircraft system 
capabilities.
    The committee understands that the Marine Corps plans to 
develop a medium- to large-sized, long-range, medium-altitude, 
multi-mission, unmanned aircraft system that can persist and 
survive in an anti-access, area-denial contingency environment. 
The committee is also aware of multiple capabilities and 
platforms across joint-service portfolios that could likely 
mitigate, if not eliminate, the capability gaps and shortfalls 
identified in the Marine Corps' Initial Capabilities Document, 
from August 10, 2016, ``Marine Air Ground Task Force Unmanned 
Aircraft System Expeditionary Capabilities.'' The committee 
believes the Marine Corps underestimates the required 
communications, data link, launch, mission execution, and 
recovery infrastructure, or the human capital resources 
required to train, operate, maintain, and sustain such a 
system. The Marine Corps also underestimates the necessary 
human capital resources required to meet current deployment-to-
dwell policy and guidance issued by the Secretary of Defense.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $10.3 million, a 
decrease of $15.0 million, in PE 34240M for development of 
advanced tactical unmanned aircraft system capabilities. The 
committee also directs the Chairman of the Joint Requirements 
Oversight Council to provide a briefing to the House Committee 
on Armed Services, not later than February 5, 2019, that 
assesses all existing or future joint-service capabilities that 
are similar in nature to the Marine Corps' planned system, and 
includes a detailed explanation for why each of those joint-
service capabilities could not mitigate or fulfill the gaps or 
shortfalls identified by the Marine Corps. The committee also 
directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services, not later than February 5, 
2019, that explains the acquisition and funding strategy of the 
Marine Corps to affordably develop and field an unmanned 
capability of this nature, and the personnel, funding, 
infrastructure, and mission-execution resources that would be 
needed to viably sustain and support this capability.

Maritime intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities 
        demonstration

    The budget request contained no funding for the MS-177A 
maritime enhanced sensor demonstration program.
    The committee notes that the Navy has the opportunity to 
leverage a $300.0 million Air Force investment in the MS-177A 
sensor, which is meant to improve maritime target detection and 
long-range imaging. This investment could significantly reduce 
procurement costs and expedite fielding. The committee is aware 
that U.S. Pacific Command (PACOM) identified the MS-177A in its 
fiscal year 2018 integrated priority list for consideration. 
The committee believes that having an organic Navy MS-177A 
demonstration in the PACOM area of responsibility could help 
the Navy to assess the full range of anti-surface unit warfare 
and anti-submarine warfare capabilities. In addition, the MS-
177A would help gather needed intelligence against threats in 
the PACOM strategic environment. The MS-117A would improve the 
Navy organic capability to conduct standoff anti-surface unit 
warfare intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and long-
range positive identification of targets.
    The committee recommends $23.5 million for the MS-177A 
maritime enhanced sensor demonstration program.

Naval underwater test ranges

    The committee has continuing interest in the Department of 
Defense's plan to redevelop and modernize the Barking Sands 
Tactical Underwater Range (BARSTUR). The committee report (H. 
Rept. 114-577) accompanying the Department of Defense 
Appropriations Act, 2017, directed the Navy to submit a report 
to the congressional defense committees on the plan to 
redevelop and modernize BARSTUR. The report was submitted on 
October 13, 2017. The report provided by the Navy noted that 
BARSTUR is an invaluable asset to numerous Hawaii-based and 
transiting subsurface, surface, and aviation platforms. The 
committee notes the underwater range is used extensively to 
conduct submarine sonar, fire control, and weapons technical 
and operational evaluations, and serves a critical role in 
hosting the world's largest international maritime warfare 
exercise, Rim of the Pacific. This exercise serves as a means 
of promoting stability in the region and represents a unique 
training opportunity to foster and sustain cooperative 
relationships that are necessary for ensuring the safety of sea 
lines of communication and security in the Pacific Ocean. The 
committee remains concerned about the readiness and operational 
status of the Barking Sands Tactical Underwater Range and its 
ability to support critical training and exercises. The 
committee encourages the Navy to aggressively sustain the 
modernization timeline, begin the program requirement and 
acquisition process, and support a competitive source selection 
and contract award to achieve operational capability in fiscal 
year 2026.

MQ-25 Unmanned Carrier Aviation program

    The budget request contained $718.9 million for the MQ-25 
Unmanned Carrier Aviation program.
    The committee supports the Navy's efforts to develop and 
field a carrier-based unmanned aerial system to provide 
refueling as well as intelligence, surveillance, and 
reconnaissance support to the fleet. The committee notes that 
the Chief of Naval Operations intends to accelerate this 
program by 2 years in order to provide this capability by 2026. 
To date, the Navy has provided insufficient air vehicle 
justification. Budget documents state that $598.78 million will 
go to Air Segment Primary Hardware Development with very little 
further justification or cost estimates.
    The committee recommends a decrease of $116.9 million, for 
a total of $602.0 million, to procure one test article for the 
MQ-25 Unmanned Carrier Aviation program.

Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal recovery operations

    Navy Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) forces require a 
safe, effective, and supportable means to conduct Raise, Tow, 
and Beach (RTB) operations. These operations entail attaching 
suitable lifting mechanisms to the item of interest on the sea 
bed (e.g., threat items, Unexploded Ordnance (UXO), salvage 
items), actuating the lifting mechanism to raise the item to 
the sea surface, and securing and/or transporting the item of 
interest to a safe environment for subsequent action. The 
committee notes that Navy desired to employ the MK V Ordnance 
Recovery Air Bag (ORCA), a commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) lift 
bag with similar lift capacity to legacy requirements. However, 
the ORCA system was never transitioned to a program of record 
that could replace the Mod 1 because the system experienced 
numerous material and design shortcomings making its continued 
use unacceptable without significant design modifications. Last 
year, Navy reassessed this issue and determined that the EOD 
Lift Balloon capability should be provided by the MK 2 MOD 2 
Flotation Bladder Assembly. The committee notes that comparable 
capabilities exist to support this requirement including a 
developmental lift balloon and an automated tow coupling 
actuation system currently in limited use by EOD. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide a 
brief to the House Armed Services Committee by October 1, 2018 
that provides a comparison of the current program of record 
with other developmental efforts.

Navy Next Generation Enterprise Network

    The committee acknowledges the Defense Information System 
Agency's current role in providing network management and 
security to the Navy's networks. The committee is also aware 
that the Navy has sought commercial sector input for 
modernizing its information technology services through the 
Navy Next Generation Enterprise Network. The committee 
recognizes that employing advanced commercial network 
capabilities for end-to-end network connectivity can promote 
rapid innovation, lead to cost efficiencies, and enhance 
security capabilities. Therefore, the committee encourages the 
Department of Defense, where practicable, to take advantage of 
commercial-off-the-shelf capabilities for supporting, securing, 
and modernizing its networks.

Navy Theater Anti-Submarine Warfare prototyping

    The committee understands that the Navy plans to begin a 
Deployables Program of Record (PoR) in fiscal year 2020 which 
intends to address operational gaps in wide area undersea 
surveillance. The committee commends the Navy for conducting a 
robust prototyping program as a part of Theater Anti-Submarine 
Warfare (TASW) efforts since fiscal year 2015, which will 
inform future requirements and will produce valuable technical 
and operational information regarding the fielding and 
employment of deployables capabilities. However, the committee 
is also aware that under the current fiscal year 2020 start 
timeline, tested production units from the Deployable System of 
Systems Project effort will not be operationally available 
until late 2022. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary 
of the Navy to brief the House Committee on Armed Services by 
August 30, 2018 as to a plan to maximize the capabilities that 
have been achieved from current prototyping efforts as well as 
how the Secretary intends to mitigate the operational gaps that 
could result because of the Deployables PoR fielding schedule.

Ocular Interruption System

    The Committee is aware the Marine Corps' new Ocular 
Interruption System, which will replace the current decades-old 
system, represents a materiel solution providing personnel a 
single, non-lethal hail and warning capability applicable 
across the range of military operations where the objective is 
to minimize civilian casualties and limit collateral damage. 
The Committee is concerned with the budget request's proposed 
reduction of the Marine Corps Approved Acquisition Objective 
(AAO) requirement of 1,758 units from the previously stated 
goal of 1,848 units, and the delay of Full Operational 
Capability (FOC) until the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2020. 
The Committee is further concerned that the AAO requirement and 
the FOC timeline may have been altered without an associated 
change in requirements. Therefore, the Committee directs the 
Commandant of the Marine Corps to provide a briefing, not later 
than September 1, 2018, to the House Armed Services Committee 
on a plan to potentially fulfill its original AAO requirement 
of 1,848 units. This briefing shall include to planned delivery 
order schedule, pricing per unit, and fielding schedule.

Passive rocket propelled grenade armor protection technology

    The committee notes there have been significant 
improvements in passive rocket propelled grenade (RPG) armor 
protection over legacy RPG armor systems, which are heavy and 
cumbersome, and present form, fit, and function constraints, 
particularly for Marine Corps ground combat tactical vehicle 
fleets operating in expeditionary environments. The committee 
encourages the Secretary of the Navy to consider lightweight 
RPG armor solutions that provide protection against RPG attacks 
while maintaining the ability to fold flat against the vehicle 
to allow for rapid deployment and transport from amphibious 
ships and aircraft.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by February 1, 2019, on the testing, evaluation, and 
integration of lightweight, textile, and flexible RPG armor 
solutions that provide protection against RPG attacks, while 
maintaining the ability to fold flat against the vehicle to 
allow for rapid deployment and transport from amphibious ships 
and aircraft.

Small Business Innovation Research--Automated Test and Retest Program

    The committee recognizes the Small Business Innovation 
Research (SBIR) program is a valuable tool to engage small 
business and provide a pathway for innovators to conduct 
business with the Department of Defense. The National Defense 
Authorization Act of 2012 (Public Law 112-81), Section 5001, 
also known as the SBIR/STTR Reauthorization Act of 2011, 
mandates that agencies, to the greatest extent practicable, 
shall issue Phase III awards to the SBIR award recipients that 
developed the technology. The committee is aware that the 
technology developed for the Automated Test and Retest Program 
has demonstrated success that has led to an enterprise-wide 
approach, and offers cost savings over current efforts. The 
committee encourages the Navy to continue to support SBIR award 
recipients to the greatest extent practicable for any Phase III 
awards associated with the Automated Test and Retest Program.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy, 
no later than 31 January 2019, to provide to the Committee on 
Armed Services of the House of Representatives, a briefing on 
the Automated Test and Retest Program. The briefing should 
include an overview of SBIR award recipients associated with 
this program, the Navy's methodology and process for 
considering SBIR Phase III awards, and a plan detailing how the 
Navy's Automated Test and Retest program will comply with the 
SBIR/STTR Reauthorization Act of 2011 for future contract 
awards.

TH-57 follow-on training system

    The budget request contained no funds in PE 63208N for the 
TH-57 follow-on training system program.
    The committee notes that the Department of the Navy 
procured the TH-57B and TH-57C helicopters used to train Navy, 
Marine Corps, Coast Guard, and foreign military partners 
between November 1981 and December 1985. The committee further 
notes that budget justification materials submitted with the 
budget request for fiscal year 2019 describe the TH-57 training 
system as experiencing obsolescence, diminishing manufacturing 
sources and material shortages, and increasingly expensive 
operating costs relating to aging aircraft issues. The 
committee understands that this situation results in potential 
pilot training shortfalls that will have a negative impact on 
readiness.
    Accordingly, the committee believes the Department of the 
Navy should accelerate the program to procure a follow-on 
system to replace the TH-57B and TH-57C helicopters. The 
committee recommends $1.0 million in PE 63208N for this 
purpose.

U.S. Navy MH-60R helicopter antisubmarine warfare and aircraft health 
        monitoring

    The committee understands the U.S. Navy operates a fleet of 
Antisubmarine Warfare (ASW) equipped MH-60R helicopters. The 
committee notes the MH-60R is fitted with advanced mission 
systems and sensors that are capable of detecting and engaging 
modern submarines in littoral and open ocean scenarios. 
However, the committee understands that the current ASW 
sonobuoy receiver is heavy and limited to its specific mission 
of receiving and transmitting data to and from U.S. Navy 
sonobuoy fields for analysis through acoustic processors.
    The committee is aware that new Size Weight and Power 
(SWaP) receiver technology currently being used on the DDG-51 
that could provide the Navy with enhanced capability while also 
reducing weight on the MH-60R by over forty pounds. 
Additionally, the committee understands that the new receiver 
has the capability to integrate a Next Generation Health 
Monitoring System (NGHMS), which has the potential to replace 
the current HUMS system on the aircraft, saving an additional 
fifty pounds of critical weight. The committee is also aware 
the U.S. Army is currently conducting demonstrations of NGHMS 
on the UH-72 Lakota light utility helicopter.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Navy, or his 
designee, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by September 28, 2018 that provides operational 
details of the DDG-51 SWaP receiver to include capabilities, 
any challenges associated with integration with NGHMS and 
subsequently onto the MH-60R platform. The briefing should also 
include a notional plan for testing this technology as well as 
a notional acquisition strategy.

Warfighter safety and performance

    The budget request contained $56.2 million in PE 62236N for 
Warfighter Sustainment Applied Research.
    The committee notes that this program has been instrumental 
in technology efforts to improve warfighter safety, prevent 
occupational injury in hazardous, deployed areas, and minimize 
the effects of extreme environments. The committee believes 
additional research focused on the safety, performance, and 
resilience of Navy divers can further reduce risk during 
dangerous missions in adverse conditions. Research areas that 
warrant additional focus include studies on decompression 
sickness, oxygen toxicity, optimization of diver performance, 
and assessment of the impact of thermal stress. This research 
can also illuminate human performance characteristics and 
technologies that have implications across a much larger set of 
mission-relevant performance calculations.
    The committee recommends $56.2 million, the amount 
requested, in PE 62236N for Warfighter Sustainment Applied 
Research.

         Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Air Force


                       Items of Special Interest


Academic and industrial partnerships for aerospace materials

    The budget request contained $42.0 million in PE 63680F for 
the manufacturing technology program.
    The Air Force has been studying materials for advanced 
aerospace needs to enhance lethality and survivability in 
accordance with the 2018 National Defense Strategy. The 
committee understands developing and manufacturing advanced 
materials can be challenging, and that opportunity may exist 
for the Air Force Research Laboratory to leverage existing 
relationships, and form new partnerships, with higher education 
and industrial partners in the Manufacturing Technology Program 
to better understand these challenges. Specifically, the 
committee believes greater leveraging of software and 
simulation tools to assess new machining, composite 
manufacturing, casting, and additive manufacturing technologies 
being developed by original equipment manufacturers, will 
ultimately improve advanced material development and 
manufacturing.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $47.0 million, an 
increase of $5.0 million, in PE 63680F to develop advanced 
materials and increase advanced materials manufacturing through 
academic and industrial partnerships to better support 
aerospace needs.

Academic partnerships for modeling, design, and analysis of unmanned 
        air platforms

    The budget request contained $190.9 million in PE 62203F 
for aerospace propulsion research and development.
    The committee is aware that the Air Force performs a wide 
range of advanced research and engineering in multi-
disciplinary design for unmanned air platforms. Further, the 
committee recognizes that advanced modeling and design, as well 
as quicker comparative analyses, are beneficial to this effort. 
The committee believes that academia is well-suited to partner 
with the Air Force on modeling, design, and comparative 
analysis through the use of Educational Partnership Agreements, 
which are mutually beneficial agreements that may also enhance 
the Air Force's effort to recruit a diverse and educated 
workforce.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $195.9 million, an 
increase of $5.0 million, in PE 62203F for Educational 
Partnership Agreements for unmanned platforms.
    Elsewhere in this title, the committee notes the importance 
of partnerships with academia to advance unmanned platforms and 
systems in order to maintain a competitive war fighting 
advantage.

Advanced engine development program

    The budget request contained $1.2 billion in PE 64858F for 
technology transition programs, of which $790.4 million was 
included for the advanced engine development project.
    The advanced engine development project enables 
demonstration of advanced turbine engine prototypes. The 
committee notes that the main effort in this project is the 
adaptive engine transition program, which is maturing fuel-
efficient adaptive engine component technologies and reducing 
associated risk in preparation for next-generation propulsion 
system development for multiple combat aircraft applications. 
The committee understands that adaptive engine technology 
enables next generation combat aircraft capabilities by 
combining the efficiency of high-bypass turbofans used by 
commercial airlines with the performance demanded of military 
fighter engines. This technology has undergone initial 
development through the adaptive engine technology and adaptive 
engine technology demonstrator programs, which the committee 
has supported in past years. The committee believes that both 
legacy aircraft and future aircraft can benefit from this 
capability and technology. Therefore, the committee encourages 
the Department of the Air Force to continue to make the 
necessary investments in these critical technology 
demonstrations and engine developments to ensure operational 
capability is achieved at the earliest opportunity.
    The committee recommends $790.4 million, the full amount 
requested, in PE 64858F in order to continue the advanced 
engine development project, and further encourages the 
Department of Defense to consider early initiation of 
development programs aimed at transitioning advanced engines 
into the field for both legacy and future combat weapon 
systems.

Advanced pilot training program

    The budget request contained $265.5 million in PE 65223F 
for the advanced pilot training (APT) program. The APT program 
will replace the Air Education Training Command's aging T-38C 
fleet with new aircraft, a ground-based training system, a 
maintenance training system, and support infrastructure 
currently used in the fighter/bomber advanced Specialized 
Undergraduate Pilot Training track, as well as in the 
Introduction to Fighter Fundamentals program.
    The committee continues to view the APT program as a 
critical program to replace the aging T-38C aircraft in order 
to train student pilots in an advanced training aircraft so 
they can make a more effective transition to fifth-generation 
combat aircraft upon graduation from undergraduate pilot 
training. The committee notes that for fiscal year 2018, 
contract award had been planned for late 2017, and has now been 
delayed until the summer of 2018. If the delay in contract 
award extends beyond the summer of 2018, the committee expects 
the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services within 30 days of the delay 
announcement, detailing the reasons for further delay, impact 
on aircraft delivery, and efforts to mitigate the delay so that 
initial and full operational capability remains on schedule.
    The committee recommends $265.5 million, the full amount 
requested, in PE 64233F to continue the APT program. The 
committee also expects the Secretary of the Air Force to 
provide the briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
directed in the committee report (H. Rept. 115-200) 
accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2018, on potential options to accelerate the APT program, 
subsequent to contract award.

Advanced radar threat system emitters

    The budget request contained $35.9 million in PE 64735F for 
Department of the Air Force combat training range development, 
of which $34.8 million was included for development of a family 
of advanced radar threat system (ARTS) emitters. The ARTS 
programs develop, design, build, and test threat system 
simulators based on advanced foreign-fielded surface-to-air 
missile (SAM) radar threat systems. ARTS will be used at 
Department of Defense training ranges for fourth- and fifth-
generation aircrew training and tactics development to increase 
combat effectiveness and aircrew survivability by training 
aircrews to engage or defend against an advanced SAM threat 
before encountering it in actual combat to stress their 
tactics, techniques, and procedures.
    The committee understands that ARTS radars would add 
modern, high-fidelity threat training devices to the ranges 
that are capable of interacting with fifth-generation sensor-
fusion technologies. During a visit to Hill Air Force Base, 
Utah, in April 2018, F-35A pilots briefed committee members 
that current training ranges are not equipped with the threat 
radars necessary to provide the most effective training for F-
35 pilots, and the committee believes that the ARTS emitter 
programs should be accelerated.
    Accordingly, the committee recommends $62.9 million in PE 
64735F for Air Force combat training range development, an 
increase of $27.0 million, to accelerate the ARTS emitter 
programs, and understands that this amount is executable in 
fiscal year 2019.

Advanced Turbine Engine Gas Generators

    The Advanced Turbine Engine Gas Generator project develops 
and demonstrates core engine technologies to address the 
growing need for affordable small turbofans utilized in current 
and future missile and remotely piloted aircraft propulsion 
systems. The project develops and demonstrates technology to 
reduce cost of ownership by half while improving mission 
flexibility and fuel consumption to increase range. It will 
also pave the way for providing much needed competition where 
there currently is none. The committee directs the Secretary of 
the Air Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services, not later than February 15, 2019, on Department 
of the Air Force plans to fund technologies which lead to low 
cost, high performance turbofan engines of up to 1,200 pounds 
of thrust.

Aerospace composite structures manufacturing

    The budget request contained $42.0 million in PE 63680F for 
the Air Force manufacturing technology program. Of this amount, 
$30.1 million was requested for advanced manufacturing 
technology, including agile manufacturing capabilities.
    The committee believes that manufacturing technology 
related to cost reduction for aerospace composite structures is 
a particularly important part of this overall effort. 
Specifically, the committee encourages work on production cost 
reduction methods, low-cost tooling, and agile manufacturing 
technologies to enable future Air Force unmanned systems 
requirements to be achieved at an affordable cost.
    The committee recommends $42.0 million, the full amount 
requested, in PE 63680F for the Air Force manufacturing 
technology program.

Air Force test and evaluation support

    The budget request contained $692.8 million in PE 65807F 
for Department of the Air Force test and evaluation support. 
The committee notes that this amount is $14.5 million, or about 
2 percent, higher than the budget request for fiscal year 2018. 
The committee also notes that test facilities, capabilities, 
and resources operated through this program include wind 
tunnels, rocket and jet engine test cells, armament test 
ranges, civilian payroll, and contractor services.
    In the committee report (H. Rept. 115-200) accompanying the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018, the 
committee reported on a briefing it received on a comprehensive 
assessment of Major Range and Test Facility Base needs and 
investments to meet the testing required for fifth- and sixth-
generation aircraft and air armament, including hypersonic 
strike weapons. The committee noted that among its findings 
were that fifth- and sixth-generation aircraft and weapons 
introduce test and evaluation gaps, and that significant 
research and development and operations and support investments 
are required to fill those gaps.
    For fiscal year 2018, Department of the Air Force officials 
informed the committee that funding for test and evaluation 
support is about $30.0 million below its historical norms, and 
that this funding erosion has diminished the ability of the Air 
Force Test and Evaluation (T&E) enterprise to support T&E of 
next-generation capabilities in the near term. Since the budget 
request for fiscal year 2019 would only provide an inflation 
increase over the previous year, the committee believes that 
the budget request for fiscal year 2019 is also about $30.0 
million below historical norms.
    Consequently, the committee recommends $724.7 million in PE 
65807F for Air Force test and evaluation support, an increase 
of $31.9 million, to provide improved open-air range test 
capabilities on a timeline that supports the Air Force's roles 
in the development of next-generation platforms and air 
armament, and addresses the growing range challenges.

Air Operations Center software modernization utilizing agile 
        development software processes

    The budget request contained $106.1 million in PE 27410F 
for the Air and Space Operations Center (AOC), of which, $97.6 
million is for development of applications and software for the 
AOC utilizing agile software development and operations (Ag 
DevOps) techniques.
    The committee is disappointed in the past attempt to 
modernize and upgrade AOC capability through the AOC 10.2 
program and the waste of fiscal resources that occurred as a 
result of AOC 10.2 program termination. The committee is 
concerned by the Air Force's lack of knowledge regarding 
contractual insights and cost data, the inability to explain 
cost-estimation tools and planning considerations necessary to 
formulate budgets, and how the Air Force values the goods and 
services received for the resources expended.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $79.6 million in PE 
27410F, a decrease of $26.5 million, for development of 
applications and software for the AOC utilizing Ag DevOps 
techniques. The committee also includes a provision elsewhere 
in this title that would provide the Secretary of the Air Force 
25 percent of authorized funding recommended until the 
Secretary provides a report to the congressional defense 
committees on software development cost-estimation tools needed 
to develop ``should-cost'' models, information regarding costs 
incurred to date for software development, and a sufficiency 
review of the report by the Department of Defense Director, 
Defense Pricing and Acquisition Policy office prior to 
submitting the report to Congress.

Autonomous life support system

    The budget request contained $36.5 million in PE 63456F for 
human effectiveness advanced technology development, but 
included no funds for an autonomous life support system (ALSS). 
An ALSS is a system in development that would monitor the 
physiologic state, respiratory profile, and environmental 
conditions of a pilot in a fighter or training aircraft. It 
automatically adjusts to the pilot's physiologic demands, 
thereby diminishing the prospect that a pilot would be 
subjected to a physiological episode resulting from an 
inadequate supply of oxygen.
    A National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) 
report conducted by the NASA Engineering and Safety Center, 
dated September 14, 2017, on F/A-18 and EA-18 fleet 
physiological episodes, recommended the development of systems 
that would monitor a pilot's physiologic state. The committee 
understands that the Air Force's 711th Human Performance Wing 
is pursuing a cooperative research and development agreement 
with a contractor to develop an ALSS that includes capabilities 
for monitoring inhaled and exhaled gas. The committee further 
understands that the scope of funded work should also include 
the monitoring of pilot physiology for heart rate, pulse or 
tissue oxygenation, and estimated core temperature, and that an 
increase in funds for this purpose would accelerate the 
development of an ALSS.
    Consequently, the committee recommends $46.5 million, an 
increase of $10.0 million, in PE 63456F.

Education and outreach for anti-tampering and cybersecurity research

    The committee recognizes the role that anti-tampering 
technology plays in safeguarding U.S. military weapon systems 
from theft, reverse engineering, and exploitation. The 
committee acknowledges and supports the Air Force's highly 
focused efforts to grow technological advances in this area. 
Therefore, the committee encourages the Department of Defense 
to fully fund programs that support anti-tampering research and 
development. Furthermore, the committee encourages the 
Department to leverage talent from Historically Black Colleges 
and Universities (HBCUs) that have a proven track record of 
excellence in this particular field. The committee recognizes 
the vital contributions that HBCUs have made in supporting 
defense readiness and national security priorities through 
successful research initiatives.

F-15 ALQ-128 electronic warfare warning set

    The budget request contained $192.9 million in PE 27134F 
for development of F-15 systems, but included no funds for 
development of the ALQ-128 electronic warfare warning set 
(EWWS). The ALQ-128 EWWS is a countermeasures receiver used on 
the F-15C, D, and E aircraft. The ALQ-128, used in concert with 
other systems, provides active jamming against enemy radar 
threats.
    The committee notes that with the fielding of upgraded 
active electronically scanned array radars on the F-15 fleet, 
the aircraft's automatic electronic warfare warning 
countermeasures and active jamming capability was lost because 
the legacy ALQ-128 EWWS is not compatible with the new antennas 
and cannot be upgraded. The committee understands that an ALQ-
128 development program to re-design the ALQ-128 would regain 
the lost warfighter capability to provide active jamming 
against enemy radar threats, and is necessary to provide an 
expandable and upgradeable system to meet mission requirements.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $242.9 million, an 
increase of $50.0 million, in PE 27134F for development of the 
ALQ-128 EWWS.

F-35 follow-on development

    The committee notes that the F-35 program has accomplished 
the final developmental test flight of the system development 
and demonstration (SDD) phase of the program on April 11, 2018. 
While the SDD required flight test is now complete, the 
committee further notes that flight testing continues in 
support of phased capability improvements and modernization of 
the F-35 air system in an effort formerly known as block four 
and now known as continuous capability development and delivery 
(C2D2). The C2D2 program will provide timely, affordable 
incremental warfighting capability improvements to maintain 
joint air dominance against evolving threats to the United 
States and its allies.
    Section 224(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) directed the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional 
defense committees that contains the basic elements of an 
acquisition baseline for the F-35 block four program. However, 
the report delivered in January 2018 provided only an initial 
insight into the basic elements of the F-35 C2D2 program. The 
committee understands that a complete report is planned to be 
submitted in March 2019, and believes that the basic elements 
of an acquisition baseline are vital to the ability of the 
committee to conduct its oversight responsibilities of a 
significant F-35 modernization budget.
    Therefore, elsewhere in this Act, the committee recommends 
a provision that would limit the obligation of funds for the F-
35 C2D2 program until the Secretary of Defense submits the 
complete report required by section 224(b) of Public Law 114-
328.
    The committee also notes that in its annual report on the 
F-35 program, the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation 
assessed that the F-35 C2D2 schedule was not executable due to 
insufficient test resources, including an inadequate number of 
test aircraft configured to conduct C2D2 test flight activity. 
Accordingly, the committee believes the Department should 
procure an additional six new test aircraft, two in each of the 
F-35A, F-35B, and F-35C configuration, to support the C2D2 
program so that capability improvements and modernization can 
be more rapidly developed and procured to meet evolving 
threats.

Metals Affordability Initiative

    The budget requested contained $37.9 million in PE 63112F 
for Advanced Materials for Weapons System.
    The committee recognizes the importance of this program in 
providing affordable materials and manufacturing technologies 
across the entire life-cycle of aerospace materials. 
Specifically, the Air Force Research Lab-managed Metals 
Affordability Initiative has reduced metallic aircraft 
component costs and accelerated the implementation and transfer 
of technologies across a wide range of aircraft platforms. The 
committee notes the value of this public-private partnership 
and the risk sharing model that has directly led to a nearly 
$2.4 billion return on the U.S. Government's investment. The 
committee recommends the Secretary of the Air Force create a 
dedicated funding line for the Metals Affordability Initiative 
to show the Air Force's clear commitment to this program.
    The committee recommends $47.9 million, an increase of 
$10.0 million, in PE 63112F for Advanced Materials for Weapons 
System.

Passive ground-based imaging of space objects

    The committee is aware of the progress with ground-based 
space imaging experiments being made by the Air Force Research 
Laboratory's (AFRL) Joint United States-United Kingdom Research 
Team. The committee recognizes the potential for high 
resolution imaging of geosynchronous satellites that also 
supports the AFRL Science, Technology, Engineering, and 
Mathematics education goals. The committee is also aware of 
positive initial test results and additional ground based 
experiments using full scale baseline separations of over 100 
meters between the tracking telescopes. The committee 
recommends the AFRL continue ground-based space imaging 
experimentation with passive/unobtrusive optical amplitude 
interferometry imaging in combination with other surveillance 
systems for Department of Defense applications.

Precision metrology tools

    The budget request contained $125.3 million in PE 62102F 
for materials research and development.
    The committee recognizes that metrology, or the development 
of precise measurement tools, is an important aspect of 
materials research. As the ability to manipulate materials at 
the subatomic scale, and to generate new and novel materials 
from computational design, continues to advance, it will also 
require further development of precision measuring tools. The 
committee encourages the Air Force to explore new and 
innovative methods to develop and provision for these tools, 
including through public-private partnerships to field and 
maintain cutting-edge metrology systems.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $128.3 million, an 
increase of $3.0 million, in PE 62102F to support the 
development of advanced, precision metrology tools.

Recapitalization of Battle-Management, Command and Control, and 
        associated intelligence capabilities in support of ground 
        forces

    The budget request contained no funds in PE 37581F for the 
Joint Surveillance Target and Attack Radar System (JSTARS) 
Recapitalization (Recap) program, and $14.9 million for 
research and development, and $9.9 million for procurement 
activities related to the legacy E-8C JSTARS program.
    The committee is concerned and disagrees with the Air 
Force's decision to terminate the JSTARS Recap program. While 
the committee understands the Air Force's desire to transition 
to a new ``family of systems'' concept for providing 
intelligence to the Joint Force, it believes that the proposed 
plan involves significant risk in terms of technology 
development, integration, cost, and schedule, and therefore the 
termination of the JSTARS Recap program is unwarranted and will 
create a significant gap in overall ISR capability and 
capacity. While the Air Force claims to have accounted for such 
risks in its decision, the committee does not believe it is 
appropriate to accept these risks given the importance of this 
mission area to the Joint Force. In addition, the committee 
notes that the Air Force's decision on the JSTARS Recap program 
directly contradicts numerous Department of Defense analyses, 
and senior-officials' testimony provided to Congress regarding 
requirements, capabilities, war-gaming, and affordability that 
justified the existence and execution of the JSTARS Recap 
program, as recently as part of the fiscal year 2018 budget 
request.
    Further, the committee is also concerned that the Air 
Force's decision could impose an unacceptable level of risk to 
joint ground forces that will rely heavily upon JSTARS Recap to 
provide reliable, consistent, accurate, and highly integrated 
Battle-Management, Command and Control, and Ground Moving 
Target Indicator intelligence capabilities. Finally, the 
committee believes that the Air Force's decision did not take 
into account the significantly improved capabilities and 
increased capacity that the JSTARS Recap aircraft, utilizing a 
modern aircraft design with fifth-generation radar technology 
and integrated software processing, is currently designed to 
bring to the battlefield as compared to the current fleet of 
legacy E-8C aircraft.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $623.0 million, an 
increase of $623.0 million, in PE 37581F to fund the JSTARS 
Recap program's continued development. The committee also 
includes a provision elsewhere in this title that addresses 
this program.

Reusable hypersonic vehicle structure development

    The budget request contained $130.5 million in PE 62201F, 
and $125.4 million in PE 62102F for aerospace vehicle 
technologies and materials. The committee supports the 
Department of Defense's efforts to accelerate the testing and 
development of hypersonic vehicles. The committee believes 
further investment in the development of economically efficient 
reusable hypersonic systems will extend national defense 
capabilities beyond the limits of expendable systems. 
Additional reusable hypersonic vehicle structure development 
and thermal protection system development is necessary to 
enable rapid global response to threats, and extend the 
survivability of platforms in highly contested environments. 
Further research focused on ceramic matrix components, 
fabrication, assembly, and full-scale component testing is 
necessary in order to meet the Air Force's fiscal year 2019 
test bed vehicle operations goals. The committee recommends 
$140.5 million, an increase of $10.0 million, in PE 62201F and 
$135.34 million, an increase of $10.0 million, in PE 62102F for 
aerospace vehicle technologies and materials, to accelerate the 
development of reusable and air-launched hypersonic vehicle 
structures.

Robust aircraft electrical power and thermal management systems

    The budget request contained $115.5 million in PE 63216F 
and $190.9 million in PE 62203F for the development and 
demonstration of electrical power, thermal management, and 
distribution for aerospace applications.
    The committee recognizes the Air Force is highly focused on 
developing directed energy and laser weapons systems, both for 
self-protection and to provide offensive capability for future 
aircraft. In order to meet those goals, the Air Force will not 
just need a lasing system and optics with the size and weight 
to be incorporated into aircraft-sized systems, but it will 
also need an end-to-end power generation system that can meet 
all of these new power demands in addition to all of the other 
electrical and avionics subsystems on these aircraft. The 
committee encourages the Air Force to focus developmental work 
on the aerospace electrical power for lightweight and efficient 
power technologies needed for those future aircraft concepts.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $125.5 million, an 
increase of $10.0 million, in PE 63216F, and $195.9 million, an 
increase of $5.0 million, in PE 62203F, to accelerate design, 
fabrication, and testing to support a light-weight, robust 
electrical power and thermal management system for future 
aircraft needs.

Secure-live-virtual-constructive advanced training environment

    The budget request included $112.5 million in PE 62202F for 
Human Effectiveness Applied Research, a program element that 
includes learning and operational readiness.
    The committee notes that this project supports research on 
the application of cognitive science for performance 
improvement by enhancing training in mission-relevant 
environments. This includes advanced technology demonstrations 
for a secure live-virtual-constructive advanced training 
environment and live-virtual-constructive cockpit technologies. 
The committee recognizes the important advances that have 
resulted from this particular technology demonstration since 
its inception in 2015, and looks forward to a joint services 
proof of concept demonstration, as well as accelerated 
encryption and waveform development. As the U.S. Air Force 
continues to seek ways to leverage cutting-edge technologies in 
realistic training and improve mission readiness, the committee 
is interested in ensuring the joint interoperability of this 
technology in fifth generation aircraft.
    The committee recommends $112.5 million, the full amount 
requested, in PE 62202F for Human Effectiveness Applied 
Research.

Small diameter bomb II cost reduction initiative

    The committee understands the small diameter bomb increment 
II (SDB II) is a joint program between the Air Force and Navy. 
The SDB II can be used on every tactical fixed-wing aircraft 
platform and provides the warfighter the capability to attack 
mobile targets from stand-off ranges, through inclement weather 
and adverse conditions. The committee notes that since the 
award of the initial production contract the cost of an all up 
round (AUR) has increased largely as a result of lower-than-
expected quantities of the tri-mode seeker that is currently 
used on SDB II for other precision guided munition programs. 
The committee is concerned that this could negatively impact 
potential planned procurement of SDB IIs in the out-years, and 
as a result could delay SDB II fielding when the program is 
scheduled to increase production.
    The committee encourages the Secretary of the Air Force to 
examine implementing potential cost reduction efforts to 
address rising AUR costs related to the tri-mode seeker at this 
early stage of SDB II production in order to maximize return on 
investment for the Department of Defense and the taxpayer.

Technology Transition Program

    The budget request contained $1.2 billion in PE 64858F for 
the Technology Transition Program.
    The committee commends the program's efforts to accelerate 
and transition technologies and prototypes into acquisition 
programs of record and operational use. The committee notes a 
majority of the funds are allocated towards advanced engine 
development and prototyping, and is concerned that only $87.2 
million is allocated for experimentation with other 
technologies. The investment in non-engine technologies is 
insufficient to address the critical technology and development 
required to transition systems-of-systems research, mixing low-
tech and high-tech assets in a combat-effective framework, and 
scalable and additive manufacturing solutions.
    The committee recommends an increase of $15.0 million in PE 
64858F for non-engine technology experimentation and 
competitively awarded transition programs within the Technology 
Transition Program.

Wide-area motion imagery intelligence capability

    The budget request contained $175.3 million in PE 35206F 
for development of airborne reconnaissance systems, but 
contained no funding for continued development and 
modernization of wide-area motion imagery (WAMI) beyond line-of 
sight (BLOS) capabilities.
    The committee notes that persistent, near real-time day and 
night WAMI capability is considered by operational commanders 
to be a critical BLOS intelligence, surveillance, and 
reconnaissance capability for numerous combat units. WAMI 
capability has been deployed in support of combat operations in 
the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan since 2010 and in the 
Republic of Iraq since 2015; however, despite the invaluable 
capability that WAMI provides, the Air Force has only been able 
to provide four steady-state unmanned aircraft system lines of 
WAMI capability. The committee understands that 2 years ago, 
the Department of Defense validated a U.S. Central Command 
Joint Urgent Operational Need Statement that requires the 
further development and procurement of WAMI BLOS capabilities 
for forward-deployed operations. The committee notes that 
previous funding has resulted in preliminary multi-intelligence 
fusion capabilities, near-vertical-direction finding, and 
enhanced BLOS capabilities. However, a lack of fiscal year 2019 
funding will impede final delivery of these capabilities, and 
will prevent necessary sensor system upgrades to satisfy 
validated warfighter requirements.
    Accordingly, the committee recommends $186.1 million in PE 
35206F, an increase of $10.8 million, for development of WAMI 
BLOS sensor improvements, and to continue processing and 
exploiting improvements that would enable automated multi-
intelligence sensor fusion.

Wind energy development radar mitigation efforts

    The budget request contained $6.3 million in PE 35114F for 
the Air Traffic Control, Approach, and Landing System.
    The committee understands the growing importance of 
renewable energy as a national security imperative, in 
particular the rapid expansion of wind energy as an alternative 
energy source. The committee also recognizes the potential 
impact of wind energy development on the operational readiness, 
training activities, safety, and force protection of Department 
of Defense service members, aircraft, and installations. Given 
the expected increase in the U.S. wind energy development, 
mitigation approaches must be further developed and 
accelerated.
    The committee recommends that the U.S. Government and 
industry continue to evaluate the impacts of existing and 
planned wind energy developments in coordination with the 
Federal Interagency Wind Turbine Radar Impact Mitigation 
Working Group, and develop best practices for radar mitigation 
strategies. The committee is aware of an existing pilot program 
by the U.S. Transportation Command and Air Mobility Command to 
integrate gap-filler radar systems into their air traffic 
control operations to mitigate the impact of wind energy 
developments. This mitigation pilot program has reduced false 
target alerts and improved the situational awareness of air 
traffic control operators and the safety of aircrew. The 
committee recommends additional analysis to assess the 
feasibility and development requirements associated with the 
integration, operation, and performance of gap-fill radars 
integrated into existing air traffic command and control 
systems.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than October 31, 2018, on the status of the 
pilot mitigation project and strategy for developing gap-filler 
radar thresholds and requirements.
    Additionally, the committee recommends $8.8 million, an 
increase of $2.5 million, in PE 35114F for the Air Traffic 
Control, Approach, and Landing System.

                       Items of Special Interest


Advanced ceramic capabilities

    The committee is interested in advancements in dual-use 
ceramic capabilities and production technologies. The committee 
is aware that recent advancements in smelting have significant 
overlap with ceramic production methods and could lower ceramic 
production costs. Advanced ceramic capabilities have 
demonstrated versatility in critical military applications, 
including composite armor for soldier and vehicle protection, 
and for use in advanced hypersonic vehicle development.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Research and Engineering, no later November 1, 
2018, to provide to the Committee on Armed Services of the 
House of Representatives a briefing on dual-use ceramic 
capabilities. The briefing should include an overview of 
advances in ceramic production processes and technologies, the 
benefits ceramic capabilities provides, and any forecasted 
adoption of ceramic capabilities into current weapon systems.

Antitoxin to combat botulinum toxin

    Botulinum neurotoxin type A (BoNT/A) is a highly potent 
toxin, as well as a medical therapy with numerous uses in 
neurophysiology. The Department of Defense is managing efforts 
to develop a vaccine against BoNT/A; however, the potential 
impact of BoNT/A vaccination on future benefits of the medical 
uses of BoNT/A is unknown. These benefits include treatment of 
post-traumatic stress disorder-associated migraines and 
amputation pain.
    The committee understands that the Department is also 
pursuing a small molecule antitoxin drug to combat BoNT/A, 
which could be used by military personnel without impacting 
future use of medical therapies derived from BoNT/A. Therefore, 
the committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to continue 
its work to develop a monoclonal antibody-based BoNT/A 
antitoxin drug through the Joint Program Executive Office for 
Chemical and Biological Defense.

Autonomous capabilities

    Not later than April 1, 2019, the Secretary of Defense 
shall submit to the committee on Armed Services an assessment 
on the consequences of the international proliferation of 
autonomous weapons, including those utilizing artificial 
intelligence and machine learning, and a strategy for U.S. 
engagement in international discussions. In conducting such an 
assessment, the Secretary of Defense shall consider each of the 
following:
    (1) An evaluation of the consequences of an arms race in 
autonomous weapons, cyber weapons, artificial intelligence and 
machine learning, both from the domestic and competitor point 
of views.
    (2) An explanation of the of the concept of ``appropriate 
human judgement'' and how it differs from ``meaningful human 
control''.
    (3) An explanation of the U.S. strategy towards influencing 
how other nations approach autonomous weapons, including human 
judgement, national safety review processes, and stability 
concerns.
    Further, the study should include an assessment of the 
current policy guidelines with respect to the role of autonomy 
in offensive and defensive cyberspace operations, and a 
discussion of how artificial intelligence and machine learning 
could impact current policy and doctrine. In conducting such an 
assessment, the Secretary of Defense shall evaluate the 
sufficiency of Department of Defense policies governing 
autonomy in cyberspace.

Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program

    The budget request contained $258.7 million in PE 64940D8Z 
for the Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program (CTEIP). 
The committee notes that CTEIP has been used to fund the 
development of critically needed, high-priority test and 
evaluation capabilities for the Department of Defense. CTEIP 
has used a corporate approach to combine service and Department 
requirements to maximize opportunities for joint efforts and 
avoid unwarranted duplication of test capabilities. The 
committee recommends additional focus on developing a 
geospatial architecture to assist in the testing, analysis, and 
visualization of cyber and electronic warfare threat systems, 
and their impact in a radio frequency compromised environment.
    The committee encourages the Department to explore efforts 
to automate data collection and analysis capabilities, thereby 
reducing manual data entry and expediting the preparation of 
products and reports. The committee recommends $258.7 million, 
the amount requested, in PE 64940D8Z for the Central Test and 
Evaluation Investment Program.

Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive standoff 
        detection

    The committee is aware of the enduring challenge of 
detecting chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and 
explosive (CBRNE) threats from a safe distance. The committee 
is also aware of a new technology that may be capable of 
dynamic wavelength modulation of laser light with potential 
applications in multiple mission areas, including standoff 
detection of CBRNE threats. Given the use of chemical weapons 
in the Syrian Arab Republic and the threat of CBRNE use in the 
Democratic People's Republic of Korea, sensors capable of 
standoff detection would provide early warning, thereby 
increasing timelines to prepare and respond to threats. 
Therefore, the committee encourages the Department of Defense 
to continue its efforts to develop standoff CBRNE detection.

Common data environment for modeling and simulation

    The committee recognizes that common data environments can 
yield benefits, such as increased interoperability and strong 
modeling and simulation (M&S) capabilities. The committee 
supports continued funding for projects that provide critical 
Department of Defense-wide data services, such as the Army's 
Enterprise Data Services Common Data Production Environment. 
The committee is aware that in the committee report (S. Rept. 
115-125) accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2018, the Senate Committee on Armed Services 
directed the Secretary of Defense to take actions to identify 
and address data collection, analysis, and sharing issues that 
limit robust M&S. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by November 1, 2018, on the 
Department's findings from the directive in S. Rept. 115-125.

Contraband cellular devices

    The committee is aware that the illegal use of cellular 
devices in Federal prisons is on the rise. The committee is 
also aware that new technologies, such as managed access 
systems, are being developed, tested, and deployed to detect 
the use of contraband cellular devices among Federal prison 
populations. The committee acknowledges that military 
correctional facilities are often plagued with the same ills 
that infiltrate Federal correctional facilities. Therefore, the 
committee encourages the Department of Defense to study the 
effectiveness of new technologies that detect contraband 
cellular devices to identify and prevent instances of such use 
in military correctional facilities.

Counter small tactical unmanned air systems

    The committee notes that Class I and II unmanned air 
systems (UAS), which in most cases are readily available 
commercial-off-the-shelf small and lightweight UAS, can be 
employed by state and non-state actors for use against U.S. 
military and civilian personnel. The committee understands that 
current maneuver short range air defense initiatives, as well 
as counter-UAS initiatives would address fixed-wing, 
rotorcraft, and medium-to-large UAS platforms. The committee is 
concerned by the rapid proliferation of small UAS and believes 
the military services should examine all potential combined 
kinetic and non-kinetic options to immediately address this 
perceived capability gap in organic air defense for Army 
Maneuver Brigades.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Defense to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
December 15, 2018 that provides an update on current Department 
of Defense programs to counter class I and II UAS. The briefing 
shall include:
    (a) The command responsible for developing and promulgating 
counter-UAS performance requirements;
    (b) A resource plan for developing and assessing potential 
material solutions for near-term and mid-term timeframes;
    (c) How the Department of Defense intends to ensure that 
units at the battalion and below echelons will be capable of 
defeating single and swarming Class 1 and II UAVs; and
    (d) The procedures whereby technical assessments will be 
shared and coordinated with the other military services.

Counter-unmanned aerial system threat detection

    The committee is interested in advancements in counter-
unmanned aerial system (C-UAS) technology and the threat these 
systems pose to the Armed Forces. The committee supports 
ongoing efforts by the U.S. Army and U.S. Special Operations 
Command to develop and employ unmanned aerial system (UAS) 
threat detection technology, and commends the services for 
recognizing the seriousness of the threat. In light of recent 
UAS attacks in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility, 
the committee is concerned about the increased threat from 
unmanned aerial systems to forward operating bases and special 
operations forces personnel. The committee believes additional 
advancements in scalable C-UAS technologies are necessary to 
effectively detect, track, neutralize, and ensure the force 
protection and operational security of deployed service 
members.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by October 31, 2018, on the employment of C-UAS systems. The 
briefing should include an assessment of the UAS threat to the 
Armed Forces, a roadmap for C-UAS threat detection technology 
and capabilities, and the results of operational fielding of C-
UAS systems.

Enhanced Maritime Biological Detection

    The budget request contained $145.7 million in PE 64384BP 
for Contamination Avoidance (CA) Engineering Manufacturing 
Development (EMD) within the Department of Defense Chemical and 
Biological Defense Program (CBDP).
    The Enhanced Maritime Biological Detection (EMBD) program, 
an ongoing effort that began in fiscal year 2017, is included 
in CA EMD and will transition technology from the Joint United 
States Forces Korea Portal and Integration Threat Recognition 
Advanced Technology Demonstration to a program of record for 
the U.S. Navy. EMBD will complete development, testing, 
integration, and production of a lower cost biological point 
detection system that will detect, collect, and identify 
biological warfare agent aerosols, and provide automated 
warning at a lower sustained cost.
    The committee recommends $145.7 million, the amount 
requested in PE 64384BP, for CA EMD within the CBDP.

Fielding of radiation detection devices

    The committee is encouraged by the Army's efforts to field 
additional radiation detection devices, and endorses the Army's 
efforts in fiscal year 2019 to develop and field the next-
generation Joint Personal Dosimeter Individual (JPD-I), an 
individual dosimeter that includes immediate visual alert, 
measurement of radiation dose, and inclusion of a comprehensive 
record of radiation exposure over a soldier's career. The 
committee encourages the Army to conduct a rigorous, fair, and 
open competition for this new system to ensure the best 
dosimeter is developed and selected.

Future uses of synthetic biology

    The committee is aware of recent advancements in synthetic 
biology, genomics, biotechnology, and related novel 
technologies that may enhance human performance and improve 
traditional approaches to healthcare. This includes enhancing 
human ability to perform through stressful and resource-limited 
environments, improving decision making, minimizing the time 
between disease identification and treatment, and augmenting 
human immune systems to defeat a variety of diseases, rather 
than depending on specific vaccines and therapeutics. The 
development of advanced biosensors to understand hypoxia is a 
current example of the type of human performance challenges 
that can be addressed through these advancements.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by December 1, 2018, on how the Department of Defense may 
leverage these advancements, when appropriate, and in 
accordance with ethical standards, U.S. law, our nation's 
values, and Department of Defense policy, to enhance service 
members' performance, increase lethality and survivability, and 
improve battlefield healthcare. The briefing should also 
identify opportunities, when appropriate and feasible, to 
facilitate the maturation of capabilities based on recent 
advancements.

Historically black colleges and universities, and minority serving 
        institutions

    The budget request contained $30.4 million in PE 61228D8Z 
for research work with historically black colleges and 
universities, and minority serving institutions (HBCU/MI).
    The committee recognizes the important role this program 
plays in bolstering the research capabilities and capacities at 
HBCU/MIs. Not only is such work important in meeting the 
defense research needs of the Department of Defense, but the 
committee also believes it provides an added benefit by 
diversifying the supply of scientists, engineers, and 
researchers working on the Department of Defense's most 
challenging problems.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $40.4 million, an 
increase of $10.0 million, in PE 61228D8Z for additional 
research between historically black colleges and universities, 
and minority serving institutions, as well as increased teaming 
opportunities between these institutions and other research 
universities with experience supporting the Department's unique 
requirements.

Innovative installation capabilities

    The budget request contained $29.4 million in PE 63342D8W 
for the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental (DIUx).
    DIUx supports the identification, development, and 
demonstration of game-changing technologies to satisfy joint 
force priorities at a faster pace than the traditional 
Department of Defense planning, programming, budgeting, and 
execution process. As DIUx leverages partnerships with academic 
institutions, science and technology communities, and private 
industries, the committee recognizes the advantages that DIUx 
may provide to accelerate fielding of decisive technical 
capabilities and interoperability while mitigating operational 
risk to the warfighter and promoting affordability.
    The committee supports the objective of DIUx to maintain 
U.S. technological superiority across the range of military 
operations. The committee believes DIUx should also increase 
efforts to support technological superiority at Department 
installations by addressing critical technological needs. This 
may also include mitigation of cybersecurity vulnerabilities 
identified during the ongoing review of critical infrastructure 
being conducted by the Department as directed in section 1650 
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 
(Public Law 114-328).
    Therefore, the committee recommends prioritizing critical 
technological needs at Department installations, and directs 
the Director of DIUx to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by October 1, 2018, on a plan to 
invest in the rapid insertion of innovative installation 
capabilities.

Joint Regional Security Stacks

    The committee supports the Department of Defense's efforts 
to secure and simplify the Department's network environment 
through modernization. Specifically, the committee supports 
continued use of the Joint Regional Security Stacks (JRSS) and 
the modernization, streamlining, and optimization of JRSS 
architecture to improve performance, reduce the Department's 
attack surface, and eliminate outdated technical redundancy. 
The committee believes incorporation of next-generation 
technology may further increase the Department's cybersecurity 
posture and resiliency. Therefore, the committee encourages the 
Defense Information Systems Agency to make full use of next-
generation packet brokers which reduce costs by employing 
active-failover features, reducing redundancy of cybersecurity 
tools, and implementing new technology that eliminates 
duplicate network traffic.

Joint threat warning system

    The committee recognizes that the Joint Threat Warning 
System (JTWS) provides credible threat warning and intelligence 
information to special operations forces (SOF). The committee 
notes that this program has been critical to enhancing the 
situational awareness of SOF elements by alerting them to 
threats to the force and illuminating targeting opportunities. 
The committee is concerned that the program does not include an 
air-variant precision high frequency band capability. This gap 
in coverage exposes SOF operators to unknown threats and 
decreases their situational awareness. The committee recommends 
U.S. Special Operations Command further explore collection 
capabilities that address this critical air-variant high 
frequency gap in coverage.

Military Free Fall School

    The committee is aware of the increased demand being placed 
on the U.S. Army's Military Free Fall School (MFFS). The 
committee understands the increased student throughput is 
largely a result of the expanded population of U.S. Army 
Special Operations Command personnel who are required to attend 
MFFS. Consequently, the increased student throughput has 
resulted in shortfalls in resourcing, an over-reliance on 
contract personnel, and an increased risk to students and 
cadre. Therefore, the committee directs the Commander, U.S. 
Special Operations Command to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than October 15, 2018, on 
Special Operations Force Military Free Fall requirements, the 
funds expended, the expected cost of operating the MFFS across 
the Future Years Defense Program, and any change in the rate of 
MFFS safety incidents or injuries from fiscal years 2012 
through 2018.

Minerva Research Initiative

    The committee recognizes the valuable contributions the 
Minerva Research Initiative has had on social science research 
relevant to national security. This initiative has supported 
innovations in social science and translated important 
scientific discoveries in the field of counter-terrorism and 
counter-violent extremism. The committee believes similar 
research examining our peer and near-peer adversaries' growing 
influence and competitive advantage against the United States 
is necessary. According to the National Security Strategy of 
2017, the People's Republic of China is reasserting its 
influence in order to deny the United States access in times of 
crisis and contest the Department of Defense's ability to 
operate freely in decisive locations. The committee believes 
additional national security-related social science research 
dedicated towards the Russian Federation, China, the Islamic 
Republic of Iran, and the Democratic People's Republic of 
Korea, and their export of military and security technology, 
will help understand these nations' true intentions and develop 
and implement strategy aimed at countering their influence.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than November 16, 2018, on the feasibility of 
expanding the Minerva Research Initiative to state actors, 
including Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea. The briefing 
should include the program's ability to provide substantive 
research addressing peer and near-peer adversary statecraft, to 
include, but not limited to, foreign influence, foreign 
investment, emerging technologies, and military exports.

National Hypersonics Initiative

    The committee is aware of a National Hypersonics Initiative 
under development by the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Research and Engineering, in conjunction with the military 
services, defense labs, and the Defense Advanced Research 
Projects Agency. The committee recognizes the growing amount of 
resources and emphasis placed by the Department of Defense on 
the research and development of hypersonic vehicle technology. 
The committee supports the development of a National 
Hypersonics Initiative, and believes it is prudent and 
consistent with the roles and responsibilities granted to the 
Department's Joint Hypersonics Transition Office as authorized 
in the National Defense Authorization Act of 2018 (Public Law 
115-91). The committee is interested in any impact that the 
Treaty Between the United States of America and The Union of 
the Soviet Socialist Republics on the Elimination of Their 
Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range Missiles, signed in 1987 
and commonly referred to as the INF Treaty, is having on the 
research and development of hypersonic vehicle technology. The 
committee understands there is concern that the INF treaty 
obligations may limit the Department of Defense's ability to 
flight-test and operationally employ hypersonic vehicles.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Research and Engineering to provide a briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services not later than September 
15, 2018, on the status of the National Hypersonics Initiative 
and any impacts of the INF Treaty obligations on the research, 
development, prototyping, testing, or employment of hypersonic 
vehicle technology.

National lab integration in defense innovation hubs

    The committee has continuing interest in the Department of 
Defense laboratories and engineering centers, their 
responsiveness to Department of Defense requirements, and 
maximizing their expertise and reach. The Department's 
laboratories are integral to the Department's ability to retain 
capability in areas where the private sector has no commercial 
interest, and ensuring that commercial solutions are adapted 
for warfighter needs in a timely manner so that the United 
States remains dominant in the land, air, sea, space, and cyber 
domains.
    The committee recommends that the Department better enable 
laboratories and centers to embrace an open and innovative 
posture, while simultaneously becoming more active in the 
Department's requirements process. The committee is aware of 
the Army Research Lab's Open Campus project as an example of 
open innovation that encourages groundbreaking advances in 
basic and applied research areas through increased 
collaboration with the broader research enterprise. The 
committee believes that this serves as a model for laboratories 
to become more ingrained in the scientific and research 
communities, both locally and globally, and become a greater 
sensor for disruptive technologies that present opportunities 
or highlight vulnerabilities for the Department. Additionally, 
the committee recommends that the laboratories increase their 
presence in innovation hubs across the United States, like 
those established by the Defense Innovation Unit Experimental, 
and enhance existing relationships with the Strategic 
Capabilities Office and the Defense Advanced Research Projects 
Agency.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Research and Engineering to provide a briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services not later than October 1, 
2018, on the respective plan for further integrating the 
laboratories across defense and commercial innovation hubs, and 
maximizing their expertise and reach. The briefing should 
include a robust plan and timeline for increasing the 
Department's laboratory joint presence in innovation hubs 
across the United States.

Non-lethal directed energy technologies

    The committee continues to support the need to minimize 
collateral damage, pursue all available avenues to reduce 
civilian casualties, and prevent damage to infrastructure in 
engagements abroad. The use of non-lethal directed energy 
technologies provides many opportunities to do so. Some of 
these technologies have matured and are already employed by 
military service and combatant commands in the operational 
environment across the globe. These technologies have the 
capacity to stop ground vehicles, small vessels, and unmanned 
aerial vehicles from infringing upon protected spaces, or to 
deny access to secured facilities. The committee continues to 
encourage the Department of Defense to make greater efforts to 
use these technologies where appropriate. Elsewhere in this 
report, the need for concurrent policy development, sustained 
integrated non-lethal directed energy technologies, and 
continued development of next-generation directed energy non-
lethal technologies, like the Marine Corps' Ocular Interruption 
System, is addressed.

Protect DIB critical technologies

    The committee recognizes the importance of safeguarding 
defense industrial base (DIB) critical technologies from cyber 
and economic actions conducted by our adversaries. The 
challenge in doing so is particularly acute as supply chains 
become increasingly globalized, as noted in the report 
published by the RAND Corporation entitled ``U.S. Authorities 
and DoD Options for Protecting the Defense Industrial Base from 
Cyber Intrusions and Economic Enticement, Influence, and 
Control.'' The report calls attention to the difficulties in 
protecting DIB members with supply chains in foreign countries 
and the resulting risks to the integrity of various critical 
technologies and materials.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Undersecretary of 
Defense for Research and Engineering (R&E) to provide a 
briefing to the House Armed Services Committee no later than 1 
March 2019 on activities and investments the Department is 
making with respect to foreign suppliers of critical 
technologies to national defense to ensure their integrity, 
including microelectronics.

Rapidly deployable radar system

    The committee is aware of U.S. Special Operations Command's 
efforts to accelerate development of an ultra-low power, 
rapidly deployable radar system. This modular technology can 
enhance radar situational awareness for special operations 
forces elements in austere environments. The committee notes 
the value of this technology and its relevance in current 
conflicts, particularly due to the persistent threat of 
adversary controlled, small unmanned aerial systems. The 
committee looks forward to the results of additional testing 
and encourages the integration of this ultra-low power, rapidly 
deployable radar with other counter-unmanned aerial system 
efforts across the Department of Defense.

Report on DoD target and threat systems

    The Committee recognizes that military capabilities of 
adversary nations continue to improve over time thus 
challenging the ability of the United States military to 
project power and protect its national interests throughout the 
world. In order to ensure thorough and realistic testing and 
evaluation of defense weapons systems and effective operational 
unit training, it is imperative that DoD continues to develop 
and maintain a sufficient inventory of realistic targets and 
threat systems that accurately represent the capability of 
adversary nations. In support of that imperative, the Committee 
believes that the status and adequacy of target and threat 
systems programs need to be assessed.
    The Secretary of Defense shall conduct a review of the 
Department's targets and threat systems in support of test and 
evaluation and training and shall identify recommended actions 
to address shortcomings in those systems in a final report.
    The review, recommendations, and final report shall 
address, but not be limited to, the following:
    (A) All airborne, seaborne, ground, and undersea targets 
and target control systems used to support open air test and 
evaluation and warfighter training exercises;
    (B) All real and simulated threat systems used to support 
open air test and evaluation and warfighter training exercises;
    (C) The degree to which all of the above systems replicate 
both current and future threats;
    (D) The adequacy of target and threat systems inventories 
to meet current and future test and evaluation and training 
requirements;
    (E) The ability of the above systems to support effective 
testing and evaluation of future U.S. combat and weapon 
systems;
    (F) The ability of the above systems to support effective 
warfighter training against future threats.
    Not later than one year after the date of enactment, the 
Secretary shall submit to the congressional defense committees 
a final report on the review and recommended actions to address 
all shortcomings in the abilities of DoD targets and threat 
systems to effectively support open air test and evaluation 
events and training exercises.

Research to enhance the understanding of adversarial influence 
        operations

    Manipulation of the global information environment by 
adversaries using both human and machine means poses a 
challenge to the viability of democratic institutions and 
social stability. The committee is aware of research conducted 
by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to 
develop technologies for high-fidelity simulation of online 
social behavior, while testing and measuring simulation 
accuracy and other research projects to better understand 
influence. For example, the Social-Cognitive Information 
Security research program uses modeling and simulation to 
examine how behavior is manipulated in a way that compromises 
cyber or social infrastructures.
    The committee is aware that the Secretary of Defense 
recently designated the Commander, U.S. Special Operations 
Command, to be the Joint Proponent for Military Information 
Support Operations (MISO), and to establish a global messaging/
counter-messaging capability. The committee believes research 
conducted to enhance the understanding of the impact of 
adversarial manipulation of the global information environment 
may complement and inform information operation activities of 
the Department of Defense. Therefore, the committee encourages 
the Director of DARPA and the Commander, U.S. Special 
Operations Command, to collaborate and provide for transition 
of appropriate research projects that enhance and complement 
MISO.

Use of authority for transactions other than contracts and grants by 
        the Department of Defense

    The committee recognizes the need for agility and 
innovation in the procurement process. The committee believes 
that, when used appropriately, other transaction authority 
(OTA) of section 2371 of title 10, United States Code, can 
provide the necessary flexibility to give the Department of 
Defense a competitive edge in the commercial marketplace.
    The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
(Public Law 114-92) modified and made permanent the 
Department's ability to carry out certain prototype projects 
using OTA. Further recognizing the benefits of OTA, section 867 
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 
(Public Law 115-91) required the Secretary of Defense to 
establish a preference for using other transactions (OTs) ``in 
circumstances determined appropriate by the Secretary.''
    The committee supports the Department's continued use of 
OTA to rapidly explore cutting-edge technologies and reduce 
barriers to attract non-traditional defense contractors. The 
committee also acknowledges the Department's guidance that OTs 
should be used appropriately by individuals possessing the 
requisite level of business acumen and judgment to operate in a 
``relatively unstructured environment.''
    However, the committee is increasingly concerned by a 
perceived lack of transparency surrounding the use of OTA 
within the Department. The committee is particularly concerned 
by the limited details provided on the Defense Innovation Unit 
Experimental's use of OTA to award a large-scale follow-on 
production contract for cloud services. While the Department 
significantly reduced the original award from $950.0 million to 
$65.0 million, and greatly limited the scope of the production 
agreement, the committee remains concerned about the 
Department's failure to provide a comprehensive explanation for 
how such a large-scale award was made unbeknownst to senior 
Department officials, and why the award was later reduced.
    Therefore, the committee urges the Department to exercise 
greater prudence and transparency when employing OTA to prevent 
misuse and abuse. The committee also urges the Department to 
reiterate through established guidelines that OTA is not a 
means for circumventing appropriate use of the Federal 
Acquisition Regulation, and that full and open competition 
should be used to the maximum extent practicable to maintain a 
sense of integrity, fairness, and credibility in the Federal 
procurement process.

                         LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS


              Subtitle A--Authorization of Appropriations


              Section 201--Authorization of Appropriations

    This section would authorize appropriations for research, 
development, test, and evaluation at the levels identified in 
section 4201 of division D of this Act.

    Subtitle B--Program Requirements, Restrictions, and Limitations


 Section 211--Modification of Authority to Carry Out Certain Prototype 
                                Projects

    This section would make modifications to section 2371b of 
title 10, United States Code, regarding use of transactions 
other than contracts and grants for follow-on production.

     Section 212--Extension of Directed Energy Prototype Authority

    This section would extend the directed energy prototype 
authority provided for in section 219(c)(4) of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328) through fiscal year 2019.

   Section 213--Prohibition on Availability of Funds for the Weather 
                        Common Component Program

    This section would restrict funding for further development 
of meteorological situational awareness sensor programs for 
unmanned aircraft systems, and require the Secretary of the Air 
Force to submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees that describes requirements, existing technologies, 
current program efforts, testing and evaluation, and a fielding 
plan for capabilities associated with providing meteorological 
situational awareness to unmanned aircraft aircrews.
    The committee notes that the Air Force office for Unmanned 
Aircraft Systems (UAS) Innovations and Integration under the 
Deputy Chief of Staff of the Air Force for Intelligence, 
Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (HAF/A2) began an initiative 
in 2010 to develop an UAS sensor that could provide real-time 
meteorological situational awareness for UAS aircrews to 
increase mission effectiveness and mitigate reliance upon 
weather forecasting capabilities in geographic regions with 
limited or no weather services provided for flight operations. 
The effort culminated in 2015 and cost the Air Force $10.6 
million. On October 30, 2015, the then-12th Air Force 
Commander, and now current Deputy Chief of Staff of the Air 
Force for Operations (HAF/A3), validated key global weather 
requirements for UAS operations, to include: increasing UAS 
situational awareness of current and predicted state of 
environmental phenomena to maximize mission effectiveness, 
efficiency, safety, resource protection, and risk management; 
relaying all onboard-UAS weather data and information, such as 
air temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, 
turbulence, ice accretion, and weather radar in real-time; and 
increasing real-time, on-board weather collection capability to 
provide pilot situational awareness and support Air Force 
forecast processes. However, the HAF/A2 sensor remains non-
deployed, despite the Air National Guard Air Force Reserve 
Command Test Center finding the sensor and its associated 
software to be potentially operationally effective and suitable 
in a formal report published in January 2018. More concerning 
to the committee is that a separate development effort is being 
undertaken by HAF/A3 weather officials that appears to 
duplicate the technology. Thus, this section would restrict 
further funding for additional systems until the Air Force 
provides a report that will allow the committee to evaluate the 
need for additional capability.

Section 214--Limitation Pending Certification on the Joint Surveillance 
          Target Attack Radar System Recapitalization Program

    This section would restrict obligation of funding for the 
Advanced Battle-Management System (ABMS) of Systems initiative 
of the Department of the Air Force, as well as a portion of the 
proposed divestment of legacy E-8C aircraft contained in the 
fiscal year 2019 budget request. The restriction would remain 
in effect until the Secretary of the Air Force certifies to the 
congressional defense committees that the Joint Surveillance 
Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) Recapitalization (Recap) 
program, as submitted and described in the fiscal year 2018 
budget request, is proceeding unhindered with originally 
planned activities associated with engineering, manufacturing, 
and development; low-rate initial production; production; and 
initial contractor support. This section also would require the 
Comptroller General of the United States to provide a report to 
the congressional defense committees that assesses the 
acquisition strategy associated with ABMS, and would require 
the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a report to the 
congressional defense committees that includes a strategy for 
accelerating the JSTARS Recap program, while also managing 
appropriately the legacy fleet of E-8C aircraft. This section 
would also authorize use of JSTARS Recap program funding to 
maintain the program office's functionality.

 Section 215--Limitation on Availability of Funds for F-35 Continuous 
                  Capability Development and Delivery

    This section would limit the obligation or expenditure of 
25 percent of the funds for the F-35 continuous capability 
development and delivery program until 15 days after the 
Secretary of Defense provides the congressional defense 
committees a detailed cost estimate and baseline schedule for 
the program. This section does not apply to any funds 
authorized to be appropriated by this Act for the development 
of F-35 dual capable aircraft capability.

  Section 216--Limitation on Availability of Funds Pending Report on 
           Agile Software Development and Software Operations

    This section would temporarily restrict funding for 
software development efforts that use agile development and 
operations methodology until the Secretary of the Air Force 
provides a report to the congressional defense committees that 
describes the cost-estimation tools, the types of contracts, 
and the mitigation efforts to avoid duplicative development 
related to the strategy for modernizing and upgrading existing 
software at worldwide Air Force Air Operations Centers.

   Section 217--Limitation on Availability of Funds for Certain High 
                    Energy Laser Advanced Technology

    This section would limit the availability of 50 percent of 
the funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act, or 
otherwise made available for fiscal year 2019, until the 
Secretary of Defense provides the High Energy Laser logical 
roadmap and assessment to the congressional defense committees.

    Section 218--Plan for Elimination or Transfer of the Strategic 
            Capabilities Office of the Department of Defense

    This section would direct the Secretary of Defense to 
submit a plan to the congressional defense committees by March 
1, 2019, for the elimination or transfer of the functions of 
the Strategic Capabilities Office to another organization or 
element of the Department of Defense.

     Section 219--National Security Science and Technology Strategy

    This section would direct the Secretary of Defense to 
develop a National Security Science and Technology Strategy to 
prioritize Department of Defense science and technology efforts 
and investments. The Secretary of Defense would be required to 
submit the most recent version of the strategy to the 
congressional defense committees not later than February 4, 
2019, and annually thereafter through December 31, 2021.

   Section 220--Modification of CVN-73 to Support Fielding of MQ-25 
                        Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

    This section would require the Navy to fund the 
modification of CVN-73 during its refueling and overhaul period 
in support of future MQ-25 unmanned carrier aircraft 
operations.

                 Subtitle C--Reports and Other Matters


     Section 221--Report on Survivability of Air Defense Artillery

    This section would require the Secretary of the Army to 
submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives by March 1, 2019, on 
efforts to improve Army Air Defense Artillery (ADA) 
survivability and require the Army to assess measures that 
could better enhance ADA defenses, both active and passive.
    The committee is concerned that U.S. Army Air Defense 
Artillery units may lack required active and passive non-
kinetic capabilities and training to maximize their level of 
survivability against sophisticated threats. The committee 
recognizes that ADA is a critical and increasingly important 
component of Joint Integrated Air and Missile Defense. The 
committee also supports continued modernization and expansion 
of ADA capability.

 Section 222--Report on T-45 Aircraft Physiological Episode Mitigation 
                                Actions

    This section would require the Secretary of the Navy to 
submit a report to the congressional defense committees by 
March 1, 2019, on modifications made to T-45 aircraft and 
associated ground equipment to mitigate the risk of 
physiological episodes among T-45 aircraft crewmembers, and 
would require the Secretary include certain elements in such 
report.

      Section 223--Report on Efforts of the Air Force to Mitigate 
         Physiological Episodes Affecting Aircraft Crewmembers

    This section would require the Secretary of the Air Force 
to submit a report to the congressional defense committees by 
March 1, 2019, on all efforts of the Air Force to reduce the 
occurrence of, and mitigate the risk posed by, physiological 
episodes affecting crewmembers of covered aircraft and would 
require the inclusion of certain elements in such report. In 
this section, the term ``covered aircraft'' would mean F-35A 
aircraft of the Air Force, T-6A aircraft of the Air Force, and 
any other aircraft of the Air Force as determined by the 
Secretary of the Air Force.

     Section 224--Briefing on Use of Quantum Sciences for Military 
                    Applications and Other Purposes

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
provide to the congressional defense committees a briefing and 
plan for using quantum sciences for military applications and 
other purposes.

      Section 225--Report on Defense Innovation Unit Experimental

    This section would require the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Research and Engineering to submit a report to the 
congressional defense committees by May 1, 2019, on the 
integration of Defense Innovation Unit Experimental into the 
broader Department of Defense research and engineering 
community, the unit's measures of effectiveness, the number and 
type of transitions, and the impacts of the unit's initiatives 
and investments on the Department.

                  TITLE III--OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                    Logistics and Sustainment Issues


               Briefing on Rapidly Deployable Structures

    The committee is aware that the military services, 
including but not limited to the Air Force Civil Engineer 
Center at Tyndall Air Force Base, are testing and evaluating 
options that improve the deployability, safety, and energy 
efficiency of structures used by the Armed Forces in a variety 
of operational environments. Of particular interest is the use 
of such structures in remote areas, where access to reliable 
energy sources can be difficult and environmental conditions 
can be severe. As such efforts continue, the committee 
encourages the Department of Defense to allocate appropriate 
resources for the research, development, test, evaluation, and 
procurement of structures that leverage energy efficient and 
insulation technologies.
    Toward that end, the committee directs the Assistant 
Secretary of Defense for Energy, Installations, and Environment 
to provide a briefing to the House Armed Services Committee, by 
September 28, 2018, on the Department of Defense's efforts to 
leverage energy efficient technologies in deployed structures, 
particularly those capabilities that support operations in 
remote environments. This briefing shall include, a detailed 
assessment of recent tests and evaluations of such structures 
conducted by the military services, including but not limited 
to findings and analysis regarding thermal efficiency, energy 
generation and use, modularity, and other required 
capabilities; a description of key requirements, such as 
billeting, medical, command and control, and humanitarian and 
disaster relief, that could be addressed by these structures 
across the military services; and a plan to develop and 
promulgate guidance throughout the Department of Defense 
regarding energy efficient structures in operational 
environments.

         Corrosion Prevention for Improved Air Force Readiness

    The committee recognizes the importance of efforts to 
minimize corrosion, decrease aerodynamic drag, and reduce 
environmental and occupational risks in aircraft operations. 
These efforts include the application of alternative coatings 
applied to aircraft, such as powder-applied coatings, that 
increase durability while minimizing hazardous air pollutants 
and volatile organic compounds. In addition, the committee 
recognizes the importance of innovative technologies that can 
rapidly and efficiently remove coatings, such as advanced laser 
technologies, that enable the safe and efficient repair and 
sustainment of aircraft skin made of metal or composite 
materials. In addition to surface coatings, adhesives and 
sealants are critical to providing corrosion protection and 
structural strength. Lighter weight sealants can reduce 
aircraft weight, extending operational range and reducing fuel 
consumption. Furthermore, advances are being made in screening 
technologies to reduce the amount of time required to validate 
a material's performance and incorporate it into aircraft 
maintenance strategy. The committee supports additional efforts 
that incorporate a range of targeted solutions designed to 
minimize corrosion and meet Air Force needs for manned and 
unmanned aircraft. The committee encourages the Secretary of 
the Air Force to continue to support those efforts that improve 
operational capability and reduce the cost and amount of time 
required to sustain these weapon systems.

       Innovative Engine Sustainment Wash-Down Management Program

    The committee notes that aircraft flown by the United 
States Navy and United States Marine Corps often fly in 
corrosive or dusty environments. As a result, contaminants 
adhere to the turbine blades behind the combustion chamber and 
could adversely affect engine performance or operation. The 
committee believes the Department of the Navy should assess 
what additional operational or maintenance actions could be 
taken to further to improve fuel efficiency and aircraft 
availability rates in these corrosive and dusty environments. 
The committee understands the Navy and Marine Corps must be 
able to operate independently worldwide and that targeted 
investments in energy efficiency enhance combat capability and 
reduce need for logistics support. The committee understands 
that maintenance practices and technologies exist for aircraft 
engine sustainment, to include using ``washdown'' processes, 
that could potentially improve fuel efficiency, extend the 
servicelife of engine components and in turn, improve overall 
aviation readiness.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by September 28, 2018 on the advisability and feasibility of 
the establishment of a pilot program led by the Commander, U.S. 
Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) to test new technologies and 
best practices in operational energy and resiliency for engine 
sustainment which reduces maintenance costs, improves aircraft 
availability rates, and lowers aircraft fuel consumption rates.

          Leveraging Technology To Improve Equipment Readiness

    The committee notes that readiness is defined by the 
Department of Defense as ``the ability of military forces to 
fight and meet the demands of assigned missions'' and is 
supported by personnel, training, and equipment readiness. 
Increasing and sustaining equipment readiness relies on 
balancing modernization initiatives with ensuring the proper 
maintenance, utilization, and sustainment of existing weapon 
systems. The committee is aware of innovative maintenance 
technologies and practices that may help reduce costs and the 
time that equipment and weapon systems are down for 
maintenance, while helping to maximize lifespan and operational 
availability rates. A significant amount of data can be 
captured through embedding diagnostic sensors and collecting 
operator observations, enabling predictive analytic software to 
proactively identify pending maintenance issues. The committee 
encourages the service secretaries to seek additional 
opportunities to leverage innovative technologies and 
maintenance practices, either as demonstration projects or by 
incorporating them into a fleet maintenance plan, to increase 
maintenance responsiveness and the operational availability of 
weapon systems.

         Life Cycle Costs of Major Defense Acquisition Programs

    The committee notes that section 2340 note of title 10, 
United States Code, requires the Department of Defense to 
ensure competition throughout the life cycle of major defense 
acquisition programs and the acquisition strategy for each 
major defense acquisition program includes measures to ensure 
competition or the option of competition and adequate 
documentation of the rationale for selection.
    Furthermore, the committee notes that section 2340 note of 
title 10 requires whenever a decision regarding source of 
repair results in a plan to award a contract for performance of 
maintenance and sustainment of a major weapon system or 
subsystem of a major weapon system, the Department shall take 
actions to ensure that, to the maximum extent practicable and 
consistent with statutory requirements, contracts for such 
maintenance and sustainment are awarded on a competitive basis 
and give full considerations to all sources.
    The committee is concerned about the life cycle costs of 
major defense acquisition programs and how the Department's 
implementation of section 2340 note of title 10 is impacting 
these associated program costs.
    The committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services, not later than December 1, 2018, 
on the Department's implementation of section 2340 note of 
title 10. Specifically, the briefing will include the strategy 
for each major defense acquisition program, the measures taken 
to ensure competition at both the contract and subcontract 
level, and the impact of these measures on the life cycle costs 
for each major defense acquisition program. Additionally, the 
briefing will include for each major defense acquisition 
program the consideration of competition throughout the 
maintenance and sustainment phases.

               Management of Navy Legacy F/A-18 Aircraft

    The committee is aware of the Department of the Navy's 
intent to divest legacy F/A-18 aircraft when the majority of 
the F/A-18 aircraft inventory remains non-flyable due to 
maintenance backlogs and availability of spare parts. Further, 
these aircraft experience high physiological event rates. Even 
so, the committee was encouraged by the Navy's decision to 
award an alternative-source contract for F/A-18 A/B/C/D depot-
level maintenance to reduce the backlog of legacy F/A-18 depot-
level maintenance. This contract, awarded in February 2016, can 
help improve overall aviation readiness rates. The committee is 
concerned, however, that the Navy's plan for managing the life 
cycle of the fleet is not clear.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by November 30, 2018, on the Navy's plans for the F/A-18 legacy 
fleet. The briefing should address the divestiture plan for the 
F/A-18 aircraft and the rationale for divestiture. For the 
aircraft remaining, the briefing should address the readiness 
recovery plans, including plans to fully utilize the 
alternative-source depot-level maintenance contract.

    Navy Next-Generation Small Arms Weapons Training and Readiness 
                              Requirements

    The committee is concerned that after 5 years, the Navy has 
not developed a comprehensive plan to address significant small 
arms training shortfalls identified following the 2013 
Washington Navy Yard shooting. The committee reiterated these 
concerns in the committee report (H. Rept. 114-537) 
accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2017. The report directed the Navy to evaluate innovative, 
non-program-of-record small arms and crew-served training 
systems to improve Navy security force and fleetwide small arms 
tactical and crew-served training. The committee is aware of 
next-generation synthetic small arms training systems that can 
provide consistent, metrics-based proof of live-fire transfer 
across warfighter skill levels for individual and crew-served 
training. Such systems, which reduce ammunition expenditure and 
training time, have been demonstrated by the Navy Expeditionary 
Combat Command. The committee believes that these systems can 
improve reaction time and decision making under stress, skills 
critical to determining hostile intent and making escalation of 
force decisions. Given the benefits of these next-generation 
systems, the committee is concerned that the Navy has continued 
to rely on legacy simulation systems built for other services, 
without consideration of unique Navy small arms training and 
readiness requirements.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Commander of U.S. 
Fleet Forces Command to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than November 30, 2018, 
regarding a comprehensive plan to meet small arms training 
requirements, how next-generation synthetic small arms training 
systems will be integrated into the comprehensive plan, and the 
Navy's acquisition strategy to support small arms training 
requirements.

                    Navy Ship Maintenance and Repair

    The committee is aware that the Navy changed its 
contracting strategy for ship maintenance and repair in 2013, 
moving away from the system used since 2004. Despite this 
change, the Navy continues to experience delays in completing 
ship availabilities, leading to a reduction in the time a 
ship's crew has to prepare for deployment. The committee 
appreciates the need to control costs and to resolve all 
emergent maintenance issues when a ship is in a maintenance 
availability. However, the committee is not persuaded that the 
Navy's current Multiple Award Contract, Multiple Order (MAC-MO) 
mechanism is always the best contracting approach. The 
committee has learned of delays in renegotiating contracts 
while vessels sit idle in the yard, as well as third party 
planning contractors not obtaining long lead time materials 
when needed. The committee is aware that the Comptroller 
General of the United States looked at similar issues, 
described in Government Accountability Office report GAO-17-54, 
issued in 2016.
    To better understand what adjustments may be needed to make 
improvements to the Navy's ship maintenance and repair process, 
the committee directs the Comptroller General to:
    (1) compare the Navy's execution of the MAC-MO strategy 
against the previous Multi-Ship, Multi-Option strategy, with 
particular emphasis on cost, lost operational days, and on-time 
completion;
    (2) assess the effectiveness of third party planners in the 
MAC-MO strategy, including their performance in developing 
stable well-defined requirements during advance planning;
    (3) assess the adequacy of the Navy's structure for 
contract oversight;
    (4) assess the stability and viability of the ship repair 
industrial base, including private industry's capacity to 
recruit and retain critically skilled workers and maintain safe 
and efficient facilities; and
    (5) assess advantages, disadvantages, or key differences 
between the MAC-MO and Multi-Ship, Multi-Option strategy 
depending on the location where the work will be performed.
    The committee directs the Comptroller General to submit a 
report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representative by March 1, 2019, on these matters 
and recommendations to improve the Navy's contracting process.

                  Supply of Aviation Parts and Spares

    The committee is concerned by the rate of non-mission 
capable aircraft due to issues with supply of parts and spares. 
The committee is aware of numerous examples of aircraft that 
have been non-mission capable for several months waiting for 
the arrival of a part. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than September 30, 2018, on the Department's efforts to 
address issues associated with the availability and supply of 
aviation parts and spares. At minimum, the briefing should 
provide an update on the rate of non-mission capable aircraft 
due to supply, specific actions the Department is taking to 
decrease this rate, and commercial and industry best-practices 
for maintenance and supply that may be adopted as part of an 
overall strategy to improve aircraft mission capability rates.

                            Readiness Issues


               Additive Manufacturing in Depot Facilities

    The committee is encouraged by the progress that depots and 
arsenals in each military department are making in developing 
additive manufacturing capabilities. The committee understands 
that this capability allows depots to quickly manufacture parts 
that are no longer available from commercial suppliers, 
allowing rapid repair of essential operational equipment. 
However, there remains substantial room across each of the 
services to add more additive manufacturing capacity. 
Additionally, the committee has observed little commonality 
across the Department of Defense in addressing intellectual 
property issues associated with this process.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than December 3, 2018, on a strategy to further integrate 
additive manufacturing capabilities into industrial facilities 
across the Department to speed parts production, return 
equipment to the force, and improve material readiness. The 
briefing should also address progress in resolving legal and 
patent questions around use of additive manufacturing.

                         Adversary Air Training

    The committee notes that the budget request contained 
increased funds for the Air Force to provide more adversary air 
contracted support for Red Flag exercises, Warfighter 
Integration Center, and combat air force fighter formal 
training unit locations. The committee also notes that the 
budget request contained increased funds for the Navy to 
provide adversary air support at specialized schools including 
the Naval Strike and Air Warfare Center. The committee supports 
these efforts to contract for adversary air training to aid 
aviation readiness recovery. Contract support will make more 
combat-coded pilots available for operational duties rather 
than adversary air training missions and reduce the number of 
training hours being placed on airframes. In acquiring 
contracted services for adversary air, the committee encourages 
the Secretary of the Air Force and the Secretary of the Navy to 
maximize competition and ensure the contracts provide 
flexibility to adjust to emerging training requirements. 
Finally, the committee encourages the Secretary of the Air 
Force and Secretary of the Navy to seek opportunities to 
coordinate adversary air requirements to reduce overall costs 
and maximize the support to aviation readiness recovery of both 
departments.

                 Army Soldier and Squad Virtual Trainer

    The committee commends the Army's decision to replace its 
legacy small arms simulation trainer and call for fire trainer 
with an advanced Soldier and Squad Virtual Trainer (S/SVT) 
program to achieve next-generation synthetic small arms, call 
for fire, use of force, and close quarters combat training and 
readiness objectives. The committee believes continued 
improvement of these systems is essential to future success of 
small units on the battlefield. The committee believes the Army 
should consider key capabilities such as the use of biometrics, 
advanced human performance techniques, cognitive drills, and 
robust data collection to verify soldier improvement. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than December 3, 2018, that details the status of the 
Army's plan for S/SVT and how key capability and system 
requirements currently projected by the Army are being 
accounted for, and will be implemented, in the final S/SVT 
program in order to sustain readiness.

                  Assessment of Navy Standard Workweek

    The committee notes that the Navy's Comprehensive Review 
identified fatigue and ineffective crew rest management in the 
four mishaps that occurred in the Western Pacific in 2017. As 
noted in the review, ``if crewmembers are overly fatigued, 
mission accomplishment, performance, and safety are in 
jeopardy.'' The Comprehensive Review went on to recommend the 
Navy establish a comprehensive fatigue management policy, and a 
circadian ship and watch rotation for surface ships.
    The committee directs the Chief of Naval Operations to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than September 30, 2018, that identifies how Chief of 
Naval Operations Instructions, and other relevant policy 
documents, have been updated to implement the recommendations 
of the Comprehensive Review and address crew fatigue, watch 
rotations, and overall workload for crewmembers of surface 
ships.

  Availability and Sufficiency of Training Ranges to Conduct Training 
                     against Near-Peer Adversaries

    To build and sustain full-spectrum combat readiness, the 
military services must train on ranges that replicate the 
capabilities of near-peer adversaries. Such training requires 
ranges with sizable land, sea, and air space to accommodate the 
tactics of modern systems and weapons. In addition, modern war 
demands extensive training on weapons employment and target 
identification, as potential adversaries possess complex air 
defenses and highly sophisticated electronic countermeasures. 
However, training ranges lack sufficient capability and 
capacity to support full-spectrum training requirements, 
including the replication of near-peer adversaries' 
capabilities. Further, because of the strategic significance of 
forward-deployed and rotational forces, building overseas 
training range capabilities is becoming more important to 
sustaining full-spectrum readiness.
    The committee is concerned that the Department of Defense's 
training range infrastructure is not keeping up with the demand 
to support full-spectrum training requirements. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Comptroller General of the United States 
to assess the following:
    (1) the extent to which the Department of Defense has 
identified the current capacity of training range 
infrastructure to meet the military services' demand for range 
access;
    (2) the extent to which the Department of Defense has 
evaluated the training range infrastructure to determine 
whether it is sufficient to conduct training against near-peer 
adversary capabilities; and
    (3) the extent to which the Department of Defense has 
developed a comprehensive strategy and investment plan to 
improve the availability and sufficiency of training ranges to 
meet the Department's training needs.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than February 1, 2019, on the findings of this review and 
to submit a report to the congressional defense committees on a 
date agreed to at the time of the briefing.

      Briefing on Security Forces Assistance Brigade Location Plan

    The committee recognizes that a future Security Forces 
Assistance Brigade (SFAB) construct should highly encourage an 
expansion of alliances and partnerships as called for in the 
2018 National Defense Strategy. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of the Army to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services, not later than January 1, 
2019, on the strategic alignment decision matrix and 
installations plan for the fielding of the Security Forces 
Assistance Brigades. The plan shall include an assessment of 
the feasibility and advisability of stationing SFABs 
appropriately to address the requirements of the geographic 
combatant commands.

                       CONUS Training Facilities

    In support of the Department of State's Anti-Terrorism-
Assistance program, many commercial companies created state of 
the art CONUS training facilities that provided critical skills 
to deployable personnel. However, these CONUS training 
facilities are now being underutilized due to an increased 
tendency to conduct training OCONUS. These training facilities 
have successfully increased readiness and contributed to 
overall mission success through partnerships with programs such 
as U.S. Military Afghanistan-Pakistan Hands (APH) as well as 
U.S. Military Observer Group (USMOG). The committee is aware of 
the excess capacity available at these commercial training 
facilities and encourages the Department of Defense and 
Department of State to use them to further enhance anti-
terrorism training. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of 
State, to provide a report by March 1, 2019 detailing the 
requirement for all services to conduct enhanced and critical 
skills training. In addition, this report should detail the 
feasibility of using CONUS facilities to conduct this 
antiterrorism training and identify any training backlogs and 
any facility infrastructure shortfalls that exist in order to 
accomplish this type of training.

                   Entry Control Facility Technology

    The committee remains concerned about the physical security 
of U.S. military facilities, both in the continental United 
States as well as abroad. Entry control points at such 
facilities are particularly vulnerable and require special 
attention and protection. The committee recognizes the need to 
continually assess new technology and develop enhanced entry 
control options in order to protect Department of Defense 
facilities against evolving adversarial technologies, such as 
drones and autonomous vehicles. The committee encourages the 
service secretaries to seek additional opportunities to 
leverage innovative technologies and research and development 
in order to enhance overall security, reduce military 
construction requirements, reduce annual operation and 
maintenance costs, increase joint interoperability, and protect 
valuable resources.

                       Foreign Language Readiness

    The committee believes that a globally engaged military 
force requires an adequate number of personnel trained and 
proficient in foreign languages. The committee notes the 
significant number of personnel who attend the Defense Language 
Institute--Foreign Language Center, the John F. Kennedy Special 
Warfare Center and School, and other foreign language training 
programs each year, as well as the global allocation of 
linguists among the geographic combatant command areas of 
responsibility. The committee believes these institutions can 
be augmented by innovative online programs conducted as a 
traditional classroom, with a live instructor engaging a small 
student group. Such programs reduce the need for travel and 
have proven more effective than self-paced instruction. The 
committee also notes efforts by the Department of Defense to 
recruit and utilize native speakers of critical languages to 
support combatant command requirements. Despite the critical 
requirements for foreign language expertise in certain career 
fields, the committee is concerned that the overall foreign 
language readiness of the total force is not adequately 
documented and assessed.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Personnel and Readiness to provide a briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 
2019, that assesses the foreign language readiness of the total 
force. The briefing shall address the required number of 
personnel trained and proficient in foreign languages, the 
current number of personnel trained and proficient in foreign 
languages, and the distribution of linguist personnel to the 
appropriate combatant commands; identify any gaps in foreign 
language readiness to include specific shortfalls in critical 
languages and mitigations to address those gaps; and assess the 
current foreign language training, education, and proficiency 
testing programs.

   Forward Deployed Naval Force Ship Maintenance and Repair Capacity

    The committee notes that since 2006, the Navy has doubled 
the number of surface ships assigned to overseas homeports, 
with more than 14 percent of the Navy's ships based at ports in 
the Kingdom of Bahrain, the Italian Republic, the Kingdom of 
Spain, and Japan. The committee also notes that combatant 
commander demand for naval presence drives the Navy to base 
ships at overseas ports. However, the extent to which the Navy 
has the capacity for ship maintenance and repairs overseas is 
not clear.
    To assess that capacity, the committee directs the 
Comptroller General of the United States to review the 
following:
    (1) ship maintenance and repair capacity overseas in either 
U.S. ports or foreign repair yards;
    (2) to what extent has the Navy identified and taken action 
to address its overseas maintenance requirements;
    (3) to what extent has the Navy identified the underlying 
causes of overseas maintenance overruns;
    (4) mitigation options to address any maintenance 
shortfalls; and
    (5) any other issues the Comptroller General determines 
appropriate with respect to forward deployed naval force ship 
maintenance and repair capacity.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than November 12, 2018, on the Comptroller General's 
preliminary findings and to submit a final report to the 
congressional defense committees on a date agreed to at the 
time of the briefing.

            Immersive Virtual Shipboard Environment Training

    The committee notes that the Navy has used game-based 
learning concepts and immersive virtual shipboard environment 
(IVSE) training for select watch stations aboard Littoral 
Combat Ships (LCS). The committee understands that IVSE courses 
offer scalable solutions that have led to faster qualification 
and certification times, a higher degree of training 
proficiency, and increased knowledge retention. The committee 
notes that the Navy's Strategic Readiness Review recognized 
that the Navy must ``foster a culture of learning and create 
the structures and processes that fully embrace this 
commitment'' in order to restore readiness, yet the Navy has 
made little progress in adopting proven methods to cultivate 
the learning culture.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services, 
not later than September 28, 2018, on the Navy's plans to 
improve training. The briefing should:
    (1) identify training benefits and lessons learned from the 
Navy's experience with game-based learning concepts and IVSE 
training for LCS watch stations;
    (2) outline a plan, including associated timelines, for 
applying such training to Navy and Marine Corps training 
requirements across all naval surface ship platforms in 
alignment with the Chief of Naval Operations' tenet of 
achieving high-velocity learning using 21st century technology;
    (3) identify discrete mission areas where insufficient 
assets are available to provide traditional training to achieve 
full-spectrum readiness and where IVSE would improve watch-
station training, including training for new platform 
development programs, coastal riverine operations, and 
amphibious operations; and
    (4) provide a report to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and House of Representatives by March 1, 2019 on the 
advisability and feasibility of procuring, altering, or 
otherwise modifying the Navy's bridge simulators, including the 
Navigation, Seamanship, and Shiphandling Trainer, to enable 
high-fidelity physical representation of the different bridge 
layouts, characteristics, and operating environments of ships 
across the fleet.

                         Information Operations

    The committee understands the growing importance of space 
and cyber operations in military operations and in another 
provision elsewhere in this Act directed the Secretary of 
Defense to report readiness to conduct operations in the space 
and cyber domains. The committee believes that information 
operations are similarly becoming a major factor in military 
planning and that operational skill in conducting information 
operations will be critical to future military success. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
assess the value of measuring and regularly reporting the 
readiness of the joint force to conduct information operations 
and report his recommendations to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives by 
January 31, 2019.

     Live, Virtual, and Constructive Training Solution Enhancements

    The committee recognizes the important role that live 
training systems play as part of a comprehensive effort to 
improve readiness. The committee is aware the Army and Marine 
Corps are planning for the use of live, virtual, and 
constructive (LVC) simulation training systems that emphasize 
joint interoperability. However, the committee is concerned 
that despite recent progress advancing such LVC capabilities 
there remain challenges in both fielding and integrating live 
training devices with both individual and collective training 
objectives. Additional challenges occur when planned upgrades 
to new and existing vehicle platforms occur without the 
corresponding modifications to the training systems. The 
committee believes that the acquisition and fielding of 
training systems must be synchronized with the procurement, 
fielding, and modernization of weapon systems to ensure the 
services' overall training objectives are supported in a 
coordinated and cost-effective manner. In addition, the 
committee encourages the military departments to ensure that 
new LVC training systems are interoperable with both the joint 
force infrastructure and the advanced training systems of key 
allied nations and coalition partners.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army, in 
coordination with the Secretary of the Navy, to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than December 3, 2018, on the plans of the Army and Marine 
Corps to utilize live training systems as part of readiness 
recovery and long-term training efforts. The briefing should 
address the plans and timelines for fielding live training 
systems and synchronizing such efforts with the fielding or 
modernization of weapon systems and efforts to ensure such 
systems are interoperable with our military partners and 
allies.

              Military Working Dog Capacity and Facilities

    The committee is aware that military working dogs are a 
critical enabler to both facility and operational force 
security and that the operational need continues to grow. The 
committee is concerned about the average age of the military 
working dog population and the capacity to train and access new 
dogs and handlers to meet future requirements. Additionally, 
the committee notes that investments in military working dog 
facilities have not kept pace with the increased demand for 
military working dogs.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force, as the executive agent for the military working dog 
program, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than December 1, 2018, that addresses:
    (1) the total current and future requirement for military 
working dogs, handlers, and instructors by mission capability;
    (2) the total number of military working dogs and handlers 
currently available for operational tasking by mission 
capability;
    (3) an assessment of the condition and capacity of military 
working dog facilities to support current and future 
requirements, to include the ability to provide adequate 
medical care as well as meet mission training requirements; and
    (4) an assessment of capability gaps and plans to mitigate 
these gaps, including programmed investments.

  Modeling and Simulation for Training, Exercises, and Joint Planning

    The committee recognizes that the defense modeling and 
simulation technological and industrial base, including in 
academia, industry, and government, is an important national 
security asset. The committee appreciates that the Department 
of Defense continues to use modeling and simulation 
technologies across the spectrum of defense activities, 
including for training, exercises, and joint planning 
activities. The committee encourages the military services and 
the combatant commanders to maximize the use of modeling and 
simulation, including in service, joint, and combined 
exercises; in joint planning for theater operations and 
contingencies that cannot be accurately planned for by other 
means; and in the development of options for senior leadership 
at the strategic level.
    The committee believes it is important for Congress to have 
a clearer understanding of the benefits and impacts of the 
Department's use of modeling and simulation. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report 
to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
November 30, 2018 on the effects of integrating modeling and 
simulation into the review and development of operational 
plans, joint training and exercises, and high-priority security 
cooperation initiatives.

 Modernization and Integration of Major Range and Test Facilities Bases

    The committee notes a lack of consistent policy and 
standardized processes within the Department of Defense to 
guide the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation and the 
Director of Test Resource Management Center (TRMC) in 
scheduling systems utilized by shared military test and 
training ranges. The committee is concerned that lack of 
standardization fails to optimize these vital resources nor 
accommodate joint force utilization. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services not later than January 23, 
2019, on its plan to standardize major range and test 
facilities bases (MRTFB) scheduling. At a minimum, the briefing 
should:
    (1) identify processes to standardize and integrate current 
scheduling systems between the joint users of MRTFB ranges and 
facilities;
    (2) identify process that efficiently integrates next 
generation aircraft avionics, propulsion and weapons systems 
test and training;
    (3) optimizes use and capacity of training range land and 
airspace between competing needs; and,
    (4) provide recommendations on metrics and methods which 
will ensure each service has an equal opportunity to test and 
train on MRTFB.

                    Surface Fleet Live Fire Training

    The committee recognizes the Navy's desire to increase 
fleet readiness training and exercise ship systems before 
deployment by including live-firing of missiles in pre-
deployment training exercises. The committee also notes the 
Navy's Standard Missile-3 Block IA inventory is approaching the 
end of service life. Furthermore, the committee is aware that 
in lieu of demilitarization, the Navy intends to assess 
repurposing these missiles to conduct live-fire readiness 
training using shipboard ballistic missile defense systems. The 
committee encourages this initiative and directs the Secretary 
of the Navy to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than November 5, 2018, on the Navy's 
progress in making SM-3 Block IA missiles approaching the end 
of their service life available for live-fire readiness 
training for ships and crews.

         Universal Camouflage Inventory and Overdye Technology

    The committee notes the Army's transition from Universal 
Camouflage Pattern (UCP) to Operational Camouflage Pattern 
(OCP) for soldier uniforms and personal equipment, even though 
the Army possesses a substantial inventory of now obsolete UCP 
products. The committee is also aware of Program Executive 
Office Soldier's efforts to evaluate overdye technologies and 
processes. This evaluation could validate processes that could 
alter UCP printed products into a color palette that blends 
with the new camouflage prints, allowing the Army to conserve 
resources by overdying UCP materials for use with OCP patterned 
equipment.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than August 31, 2018, that includes any current efforts to 
repurpose and field UCP personal equipment, any evaluations of 
overdye technologies and processes, and a business case 
analysis of fielding these overdye technologies and processes.

                             Other Matters


                 Air Refueling Capability and Capacity

    The committee notes that air refueling capability is a 
critical component of logistical capacity and that the Air 
National Guard fulfills the majority of air refueling 
requirements. The committee notes that section 144 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public 
Law 115-91) required the Secretary of Defense to carry out a 
mobility capability and requirements study that includes an 
assessment of the air refueling tanker aircraft military 
requirement. Upon completion of the study, the committee is 
interested in how the Air Force will support the requirements 
for force structure and strategic laydown of aircraft necessary 
to implement the study.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services, not later than March 1, 2019, on how the Air Force 
will support the requirements for aerial refueling. At a 
minimum, the briefing shall include:
    (1) the current and future laydown plans for air refueling 
locations;
    (2) an overview of air refueling operations per air 
refueling wing locations to include the number of sortie 
requests, the number of sorties fulfilled, and the locations or 
missions the sorties supported;
    (3) fully mission capable and aircraft availability rates 
for all air refueling wings over the past 5 years;
    (4) an assessment of how the Air National Guard force 
structure, across all States and territories, can be leveraged 
to support current and emerging air refueling requirements;
    (5) a description of the long-term plan to maintain 
adequate refueling capability to meet current and emerging 
requirements;
    (6) a review of manpower levels across the air refueling 
force, an identification of current and projected skill set 
gaps, and recommendations on how to address these gaps; and
    (7) an overview of how the Air Force will determine the 
disposition of KC-135 aircraft as they are replaced by arrival 
of KC-46 aircraft.

             Disposition of Excess Military Ground Vehicles

    The committee notes that the Defense Logistics Agency's 
Disposition Services is responsible for disposing of excess 
property received from the military services. Excess military 
property is screened for reutilization within the Department of 
Defense; transfer to other Federal agencies; donation to State 
and local governments, or other qualified organizations; or 
sale to the general public. As part of the screening process, 
Disposition Services must assess demilitarization (DEMIL) 
requirements for the excess property to prevent unauthorized 
use or the compromise of national security. For ground 
vehicles, such DEMIL requirements can range from the removal of 
certain parts and components to the full mutilation and 
scrapping of the vehicle. The committee is aware of concerns 
that types of ground vehicles heretofore available for donation 
are now consigned to scrap.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, in coordination with 
the Commander of the Defense Logistics Agency, to submit a 
report to the congressional defense committees by February 1, 
2019, regarding the disposition of military ground vehicles.
    The report should include classes and types of Department 
of Defense military ground vehicles eligible to be considered 
in the donation and sale program and explanation of the DEMIL 
codes used in the determination process. Additionally, the 
report should outline the DEMIL code determination process for 
ground vehicles, whether applicable polices were followed when 
ground vehicles previously made available to State and local 
governments or civilian military museums have instead been 
scrapped, and steps taken to reevaluate current policies and 
practices. Finally, the report should include measures taken by 
the Disposal Services program to improve transparency so that 
State and local governments or civilian military museums have 
appropriate access to ground vehicles.

                    Fluorine-Free Fire Fighting Foam

    The committee is aware that the military departments are in 
the process of replacing legacy aqueous film forming foam 
(AFFF) with an AFFF that does not contain perfluorooctane 
sulfonate (PFOS) compounds. In addition, the committee is aware 
the Department of Defense has undertaken research and 
development efforts related to fluorine-free AFFF. The 
committee encourages the Department to accelerate such efforts, 
to the extent possible. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy, Installations, and 
Environment to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than March 1, 2019, on the progress 
made towards development and fielding of a fluorine-free AFFF 
that meets military requirements. At minimum, the briefing 
should summarize research and development initiatives on 
fluorine-free AFFF that have been funded by the Department of 
Defense to date, a summary of the current status and findings 
of such initiatives, and what additional research and 
development may be required prior to fielding a fluorine-free 
AFFF.

        Improving Water Security and Efficiency on Installations

    Efficient facilities are critical for the support, 
redeployment, and operation of military forces. While some 
installations have done great work to improve water efficiency, 
the Committee is concerned that the military may not be 
maximizing strategic use of water resources at all 
installations, and that this could be adding unnecessary costs 
that could be more effectively used elsewhere. Furthermore, 
water security is a vital component of installation readiness.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a report on innovative ways to reduce water use 
across installations in order to strengthen base readiness 
through improved water security, and to identify opportunities 
to replicate across installations some of the successful water-
saving tactics already being deployed at some bases, such as 
planting more native species and increasing use of gray water 
systems. The report shall be submitted to the House Committee 
on Armed Services, not later than March 1, 2019.

                 Joint Navy-Coast Guard Arctic Strategy

    The Navy and the Coast Guard currently produce their own 
Arctic strategies. The Committee believes the absence of a 
joint strategy stands in contradiction to the Secretary of 
Defense's National Defense Strategy, calling for greater 
integration of a joint force and renewed attention on more 
traditional peer competitors, namely Russia and China. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Chief of Naval Operations 
and the Commandant of the Coast Guard to provide a briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services and the House Committee 
on Transportation and Infrastructure by September 30, 2018 that 
provides a framework for a joint strategy integrating all 
components of the Navy and Coast Guard Arctic mission sets and 
providing adequate vessel and aircraft resource allocation 
allowing for the United States to effectively advance security 
and commercial interests in the region. The briefing should 
take into consideration the Arctic's relevance in the Navy's 
configuration of a 355 vessel fleet and identify proper Navy 
and Coast Guard resource allocation to that effect.

               Meeting Readiness Requirements Efficiently

    The House Armed Services Committee is concerned that the 
number of mandatory training and administrative requirements 
for Service members of the Department of Defense, and the 
burden that they maintain a multitude of different accounts on 
different systems to accomplish an array of administrative and 
training mandatory requirements especially for Reserve 
Component Service members, impedes their ability to efficiently 
achieve worldwide deployment readiness. The Committee is aware 
that, for example, the U.S. Navy Reserve maintains no fewer 
than ten different computer systems that service members must 
regularly use.
    The Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation is 
directed to submit to the congressional defense committees a 
report by April 1, 2019, detailing the costs incurred by each 
military service to maintain each training and administrative 
personnel system, particularly computerized systems, and 
options to consolidate these systems to save taxpayer money, 
reduce the burden on military members, and promote readiness.

                       Motorcycle Safety Training

    The committee is aware that each of the armed services 
conducts motorcycle safety training before allowing service 
members to operate a motorcycle on base. The committee applauds 
this training and encourages the Department of Defense to 
continue. The committee has learned that nine States, including 
several with large military installations, have imposed unique 
training requirements that go beyond those contained in the 
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration compliant 
curriculum. The committee has also learned that the Air Force 
and Coast Guard adjust their training to meet unique State 
requirements, while the Departments of the Army and Navy do 
not, forcing soldiers, sailors, and marines to seek and pay for 
the added required training individually. The committee 
encourages the Secretaries of the Army and Navy to review the 
adequacy of motorcycle safety training in their respective 
military departments to ease the burden on soldiers, sailors, 
and marines.

        Open-Air Disposal of Munitions and Munition Constituents

    The committee remains concerned about the Department of 
Defense's continued reliance on open burning and open 
detonation for the demilitarization of excess, obsolete, or 
unserviceable munitions by its industrial depots rather than 
using alternative contained technologies. While the committee 
recognizes the Department may have a need to retain some open 
burning and open detonation capability for explosive safety 
reasons, the committee is aware of the Department's efforts to 
reduce its use of open burning and open detonation. Section 
1421 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2017 (Public Law 114-328) directed the Secretary of the Army to 
enter into an arrangement with the Board on Army Science and 
Technology of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, 
and Medicine to conduct a study of the conventional munitions 
demilitarization program of the Department of Defense. The 
intent of this study was to better understand the Department's 
current procedures, its rationale for using open burning and 
open detonation, and the status and suitability of alternative 
technologies in use or under development to reduce the 
Department's reliance on open burning and open detonation.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services, 
not later than 90 days after the date on which the National 
Academy of Science releases its report, on the actions the Army 
intends to take in response to the National Academy of Science 
committee's recommendations.

                  Physical Security at U.S. Shipyards

    The committee believes it is important to ensure the safety 
and security of personnel and Navy vessels undergoing 
maintenance in public and private shipyard facilities. While 
the security of the public shipyards is the responsibility of 
the Navy, the committee understands that private shipyards must 
meet specific requirements for physical security barriers, 
perimeter and waterfront access control, security forces, 
patrol craft, and other security measures while performing work 
on Navy vessels. The committee notes there are certain 
locations where private shipyards are near or adjacent to a 
Navy installation or to another shipyard performing work on 
Navy vessels. In such cases, each shipyard is required to 
individually meet the security requirements associated with a 
repair contract. The costs associated with these security 
requirements are ultimately passed back to the government 
through the cost of the repair contract. Therefore, the 
committee encourages the Secretary of the Navy to examine this 
issue and work with private shipyards to find opportunities to 
meet security requirements in a more collaborative and cost-
effective way at shipyards that are near or adjacent to a Navy 
installation or another shipyard performing work on Navy 
vessels.

                    Quality of Life at Remote Sites

    The committee notes that the Army and other military 
services operate several installations at isolated locations in 
the western United States. Some Army examples include Dugway 
Proving Ground, Utah; Hawthorne Army Depot, Nevada; and White 
Sands Missile Range, New Mexico. These remote locations are 
usually staffed with small populations, presenting financial 
solvency challenges for morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR) 
business activities of the Department of the Army. As a result, 
there are few MWR activities, shopping venues, or dining 
options on or near the installation to support the daily 
working population of military personnel, Federal civilian 
personnel, contract employees, and family members. The 
committee encourages the Secretary of the Army to review the 
quality of life support options for all those who work at such 
installations and develop a plan for improvement.

                       Regional Biosecurity Plan

    The Secretary of Defense is directed to submit to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, at the same time as the President submits the 
budget for a fiscal year under section 1105(a) of title 31, 
United States Code, a report describing the activities of the 
Department of Defense during the preceding fiscal year to 
implement the Regional Biosecurity Plan for Micronesia and 
Hawaii, which is a strategic plan led by the Department of 
Defense in collaboration with other Federal and non-Federal 
entities to prevent and control the introduction of invasive 
species in the United States Pacific region. The Department of 
Defense's report shall also include next steps and planned 
activities of the Department for further implementation of the 
plan, including estimates of additional funding to be used or 
needed for such next steps and planned activities.

               Review of Household Good Weight Allowances

    The committee believes that service members should pursue 
intellectual development by reading thoughtful books related to 
the military profession. Indeed, the Chairman of the Joint 
Chiefs of Staff and each Service Chief maintains active 
professional reading lists to encourage military members to 
read as part of professional development. The committee further 
recognizes that a growing number of military families opt for 
home schooling as a means to provide stability to children's 
education. The committee notes that the current household good 
movement weight allowance for military professional gear is 
2,000 pounds for military members and 500 pounds for dependent 
spouses. Professional gear includes a range of items including 
books, uniforms, and technical equipment. The committee 
understands that Joint Travel Regulation 051304 modified the 
allowable weight credit computation for professional gear and 
definition of professional gear. The committee is concerned 
that the household good professional gear weight allowance and 
allowable weight credit computation is insufficient to support 
increasingly educated workforce and military families who 
homeschool; therefore, the committee directs the Commander of 
U.S. Transportation Command in coordination with the military 
departments and the Defense Travel Management Office to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services, not later 
than August 31, 2018, on the household goods weight allowances. 
This briefing shall include, at a minimum:
    (1) A summary of the most recent assessment of weight 
allowance requirements
    (2) Any changes to the household weight allowance for 
professional gear for the previous ten years
    (3) A review of complaints from service members on 
professional gear weight allowances and actions taken to 
address these concerns
    (4) Any recommended policy changes and actions.

              Review of Mandatory Training Required by Law

    The committee is encouraged by recent initiatives across 
the military services to review and reduce mandatory 
administrative training requirements. Such mandates consume 
time and resources of operational unit leaders and troops and 
should only be required when necessary to improve the readiness 
of the force. This issue is especially acute in the Reserve 
Components, with limited training days. The committee 
recognizes that such requirements are generated from within the 
Department of Defense as well as through legislative mandates 
and statutes. The committee intends to review current military 
training mandates that arise from statute for possible repeal 
and would welcome the views of the Secretary of Defense. To 
that end, the committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a list of any legal mandates to conduct training to the 
House Committee on Armed Services, accompanied by his 
recommendation of any that should be repealed.

                         LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS


              Subtitle A--Authorization of Appropriations


              Section 301--Authorization of Appropriations

    This section would authorize appropriations for operation 
and maintenance activities at the levels identified in section 
4301 of division D of this Act.

                   Subtitle B--Energy and Environment


     Section 311--Inclusion of Consideration of Energy and Climate 
  Resiliency Efforts in Master Plans for Major Military Installations

    This section would amend section 2864 of title 10, United 
States Code, to require energy and climate resiliency efforts 
to be considered in installation master plans to ensure the 
ability to sustain mission-critical operations.

 Section 312--Use of Proceeds from Sales of Electrical Energy Derived 
from Geothermal Resources for Projects at Military Installations Where 
                         Resources Are Located

    This section would amend section 2916 of title 10, United 
States Code, to enable certain proceeds from the sale of 
electrical energy generated from a geothermal energy resource 
to be used for installation energy or water security projects 
at the military installation in which the geothermal energy 
resource is located.

 Section 313--Extension of Authorized Periods of Permitted Incidental 
  Takings of Marine Mammals in the Course of Specified Activities by 
                         Department of Defense

    This section would amend section 1371 of title 16, United 
States Code, to extend the period the Secretary of Interior may 
authorize the incidental taking of marine mammals by the 
Department of Defense from 5 years to 10 years if the Secretary 
finds that such takings will have a negligible impact on any 
marine mammal species.

       Section 314--State Management and Conservation of Species

    This section would prohibit listing of the Greater Sage-
Grouse and the Lesser Prairie-Chicken under the Endangered 
Species Act for a 10-year period. This section would also 
provide that the previous such listing of the American Burying 
Beetle may not be enforced or reinstated.

                 Subtitle C--Logistics and Sustainment


               Section 321--Examination of Naval Vessels

    This section would amend section 7304 of title 10, United 
States Code, to provide that examinations of naval vessels 
performed under the authority of that section after October 1, 
2019, shall be conducted on a no notice basis. This section 
would also provide that reports detailing the results of such 
inspections be unclassified and available to the public.

 Section 322--Overhaul and Repair of Naval Vessels in Foreign Shipyards

    This section would amend section 7310 of title 10, United 
States Code, to require naval vessels that do not have a 
homeport be treated as being homeported in the United States or 
Guam with regard to repair and maintenance of those vessels. 
Additionally, this section would define the term voyage repair.

  Section 323--Limitation on Length of Overseas Forward Deployment of 
                             Naval Vessels

    This section would add a new section to chapter 633 of 
title 10, United States Code, that would require the Secretary 
of the Navy to limit the time a naval vessel is forward 
deployed overseas to 10 years. This section would permit the 
Secretary to waive the 10-year requirement for individual naval 
vessels with notification to the congressional defense 
committees. This section would further provide that all 
currently forward deployed naval ships which have exceeded 10 
years of service overseas shall have 3 years to return to a 
U.S. homeport. Finally, this section would require the 
Secretary to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on his 
rotation plan for forward deployed naval ships.

   Section 324--Temporary Modification of Workload Carryover Formula

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
modify the workload carryover calculation formula for each 
military department depot or arsenal through September 30, 
2021. These modifications would reflect the timing of enacted 
appropriations and the varying repair cycle times of the 
workload supported, and apply in addition to current Department 
of Defense carryover exemptions.

Section 325--Limitation on Use of Funds for Implementation of Elements 
of Master Plan for Redevelopment of Former Ship Repair Facility in Guam

    This section would provide that none of the funds 
authorized to be appropriated by this Act, or otherwise made 
available for fiscal year 2019 for the Navy, may be obligated 
or expended for any construction, alteration, repair, or 
development of the real property consisting of the Former Ship 
Repair Facility in Guam unless such project directly supports 
depot-level ship maintenance capabilities, to include the 
mooring of a floating dry dock.

  Section 326--Business Case Analysis for Proposed Relocation of J85 
                     Engine Regional Repair Center

    This section would require the Secretary of the Air Force 
to prepare a business case analysis for the proposed relocation 
of the J85 Engine Regional Repair Center. This section would 
also withhold funding for the proposed relocation until 150 
days after the Secretary of the Air Force has provided the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives a briefing on the business case analysis.

    Section 327--Army Advanced and Additive Manufacturing Center of 
                               Excellence

    This section would require the Secretary of the Army to 
establish a Center of Excellence on Advanced and Additive 
Manufacturing at an arsenal and authorize use of public-private 
partnerships and other transactional activity to facilitate the 
development of advanced and additive manufacturing techniques 
in support of Army industrial facilities.

                          Subtitle D--Reports


 Section 331--Matters for Inclusion in Quarterly Reports on Personnel 
                           and Unit Readiness

    This section would amend section 482 of title 10, United 
States Code, to require the Secretary of Defense and each 
military service to report appropriate readiness metrics for 
cyber and space operations in the existing periodic reporting 
requirement. This section would further amend section 482 to 
require combatant commanders to assess their readiness to 
conduct operations in a multidomain battle, integrating ground, 
air, sea, space, and cyber forces.

 Section 332--Annual Comptroller General Reviews of Readiness of Armed 
               Forces to Conduct Full Spectrum Operations

    This section would require the Comptroller General of the 
United States to assess the readiness of the Armed Forces in 
the warfighting domains of ground, sea, air, space, and cyber 
annually through 2022. The assessment would be based on metrics 
established by the Secretary of Defense and validated by the 
Comptroller General, to allow the committee to assess readiness 
status over time. While the Comptroller General may submit 
classified reports, unclassified versions of the reports should 
also be provided.
    The committee understands that military readiness is a 
result of a commander's skillful integration of available 
military personnel, equipment, supplies, and individual and 
collective training opportunities. The committee recognizes 
that readiness has suffered in all military services in recent 
years, driven by the erosive effects of the Budget Control Act 
and the unceasing demand for forces in various theaters of 
operation. The committee believes that the military services 
should demonstrate measurable readiness recovery with the 
additional appropriations made in fiscal year 2017, the 
additional appropriations made available in fiscal year 2018, 
as well as funding authorized for fiscal year 2019 in this Act.

           Section 333--Surface Warfare Training Improvement

    This section would express the sense of Congress that the 
Secretary of the Navy should establish an assessment process 
for surface warfare officers prior to operational tour 
assignments and that the Secretary should expand the 
International Convention on Standards of Training, 
Certification and Watchkeeping (STCW) qualification process for 
surface warfare officers and enlisted navigation watch team 
personnel to improve seamanship and navigation aboard Navy 
vessels. Further, this section would require the Secretary of 
the Navy to provide a report on surface warfare officer 
credentialing, training, and assessment to the congressional 
defense committees not later than March 1, 2019.

 Section 334--Report on Optimizing Surface Navy Vessel Inspections and 
                          Crew Certifications

    This section would require the Secretary of the Navy to 
provide a report on optimizing surface navy vessel inspections 
and crew certifications to reduce redundancies and the burden 
of inspection type visits that ships undergo. Further, this 
section would require the Secretary of the Navy to provide an 
interim briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives not later than January 
31, 2019, on matters to be included in the required report.
    The committee notes that following the collisions involving 
U.S. Navy ships in the western Pacific, the Navy conducted a 
comprehensive review of recent surface force incidents. The 
committee also notes that the Navy's ``Comprehensive Review of 
Recent Surface Force Incidents'' identified an overabundance of 
inspections, certifications, and that ``ships can be subjected 
to as many as 238 separate inspection, certification, and 
assist visits in a 36 month period.'' The Navy's ``Strategic 
Readiness Review'' of these incidents further identified that 
there ``has been a dramatic increase in the operating tempo of 
individual ships, and accompanying reductions in the time 
available to perform maintenance, training, and readiness 
certification.'' The ``Strategic Readiness Review'' went on to 
note that ``sufficient time for training crews and maintaining 
ships is critical for restoring and monitoring readiness.''
    Given the continued operational demand on the fleet, the 
committee believes that the Navy should reduce the burden of 
inspection type visits that ships undergo.

                       Subtitle E--Other Matters


   Section 341--Coast Guard Representation on Explosive Safety Board

    This section would amend section 172 of title 10, United 
States Code, to provide that an officer of the Coast Guard 
serve as a voting member of the explosive safety board.

  Section 342--Shiloh National Military Park Boundary Adjustment and 
              Parker's Crossroads Battlefield Designation

    This section would modify the boundary of the Shiloh 
National Military Park located in Tennessee and Mississippi, to 
establish Parker's Crossroads Battlefield as an affiliated area 
of the National Park System.

       Section 343--Sense of Congress Regarding Critical Minerals

    This section would express the sense of Congress that 
aggregates, copper, molybendum, gold, zinc, nickel, lead, 
silver, and certain fertilizer compounds should be added to the 
``critical minerals list'' ordered by Executive Order 13817.

              TITLE IV--MILITARY PERSONNEL AUTHORIZATIONS

                         LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS


                       Subtitle A--Active Forces


              Section 401--End Strengths for Active Forces

    This section would establish new minimum Active Duty end 
strengths for the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force as of 
September 30, 2019. The committee recommends 487,500 as the 
minimum Active Duty end strength for the Army, 335,400 as the 
minimum Active Duty end strength for the Navy, 186,100 as the 
minimum Active Duty end strength for the Marine Corps, and

              Subtitle C--Authorization of Appropriations


                    Section 421--Military Personnel

    This section would authorize appropriations for military 
personnel at the levels identified in the funding table in 
section 4401 of division D of this Act.

                   TITLE V--MILITARY PERSONNEL POLICY

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


           Active Military Service of the Korean Constabulary

    The Committee acknowledges the service and sacrifice of the 
officers and men of the Korean Constabulary formed under the 
operational command of the United States Military Government in 
Korea following the end of the Second World War. Organized, 
trained, equipped, and led by the United States Army, the 
Korean Constabulary performed vital security missions on behalf 
of the United States in the interwar period and played a 
crucial role in the formation and defense of the Republic of 
Korea. Repeatedly called to defend their homeland against 
attacks and insurrection by Communist forces allied with the 
Korean People's Army and supported by the Soviet Union, the men 
of the Korean Constabulary fought with distinction in some of 
the earliest battles of the Cold War.
    The Committee therefore requests the Secretary of Defense 
to review the eligibility of the officers and men of the Korean 
Constabulary for active military service from November 1945 to 
January 1949 under the provisions of Section 401 of Public Law 
95-202, and report his findings to the House Armed Services 
Committee by March 1, 2019.

      Best Practices for Prevention and Response to Sexual Assault

    The committee commends the Department for its efforts to 
continuously improve methods to prevent and respond to sexual 
assault. The committee further commends the Air Force's efforts 
to utilize evidenced based bystander intervention training 
previously shown to prevent and reduce power-based personal 
violence based on the premise that sexual violence can be 
measurably and systematically reduced within a community. The 
Air Force was additionally able to consolidate some of the 
required and annual briefings and shorten the amount of time 
they spent on training by focusing on quality over quantity. 
The committee directs the Department to report to the House 
Armed Services Committee no later than December 1, 2018 on 
current use of best practices for prevention and response to 
sexual assault; update on current research informed evaluation 
outcome criteria, and the feasibility of developing, and 
offering high quality, standardized, research informed best 
practices for training and response that are shown to prevent 
sexual assaults across the services.

Briefing on Commissioning Production of Senior Reserve Officer Training 
                                 Corps

    The committee is concerned about the number of Senior 
Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) units that are not 
meeting established commissioning production requirements for 
each of the services. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretaries of 
the military services, to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than April 1, 2019, on 
the performance of the Senior Reserve Officer Training Corps. 
Such briefing shall describe each of the following:
    (1) annual production requirement and production attainment 
for each ROTC host unit, to include a breakdown of 
demographics;
    (2) listing of units that have not met the standards set 
forth in Department of Defense Instruction 1215.08, for the 
past 5 years;
    (3) listing of the units that did not meet the standard in 
the past 5 years that are now compliant; and
    (4) list of units each service intends to disestablish or 
reduce in scope, but is not authorized to do so.

                   Briefing on Credentialing Programs

    The Committee is supportive of policies which allow 
servicemembers to attain civilian credentials while on active 
duty. These programs ensure that servicemembers possess the 
necessary knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform their 
duties, and offer servicemembers the chance of better civilian 
employment upon separation from the military.
    However, not all credentialing programs are created equal, 
and the Department has acknowledged that few oversight 
mechanisms exist to protect servicemembers from aggressive 
marketing of credentialing programs of dubious rigor. The 
committee encourages the Department to work with partners in 
academia and industry to develop a tool that servicemembers 
could use to evaluate the quality of a credential based on its 
desirability in the civilian workforce.
    In addition, the Committee is also aware that the 
Department does not have conclusive evidence that possessing 
civilian credentials help servicemembers find post-separation 
employment. Therefore, the Committee directs the Department to 
brief the House Committee on Armed Services no later than 
February 1, 2019 on collaborative efforts to develop quality 
standards for credentialing and licensure programs and a review 
of academic literature on the impact on employability of 
attaining a credential.

  Briefing on Department of Defense Inspector General Processing Times

    The committee is concerned about the steady increase in 
processing times for Department of Defense Inspector General 
investigations into whistleblower reprisal and senior leader 
misconduct complaints. While the Department has conducted past 
studies into how best to reduce these processing times, and 
implemented efficiency measures, the problem persists.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than July 1, 2019, regarding steps the Department 
will take to reduce whistleblower reprisal and senior leader 
misconduct investigation processing times. The briefing shall 
include:
    (1) a general timeline for a typical whistleblower reprisal 
and senior leader misconduct investigation, including 
identification of phases of the investigation that often 
require substantial time;
    (2) whether changes to law or policy would improve the 
efficiency of these investigations; and
    (3) whether additional funding, manning, or other resources 
would improve processing times.

       Comptroller General Report on Active Duty Female Retention

    The committee commends the Secretary of Defense for the 
briefing on Female Propensity to serve in the Armed Forces as 
requested in the House Report 115-200. Inclusive and growth-
oriented recruiting must also ensure that the best and 
brightest females are not only recruited but that they are 
retained in the Armed Forces once presented with career 
options. Building on Female Propensity to serve in the Armed 
Forces, the committee recommends the Department expand their 
examination of female recruitment to include retention. An 
analysis conducted for the Defense Advisory Committee on Women 
in the Services finds that more women than men leave the 
military at various career points. Concerns persist that this 
attrition will result in a disproportionate impact to mission 
readiness if left unresolved. From an economic standpoint, when 
female employees leave, organizations must deal with higher 
recruiting costs, longer training times, and lower 
productivity. Therefore, not later December 1, 2018 the 
committee directs Comptroller General to submit a report 
containing the following components: (1) updated rates of 
promotion and attrition rates for women compared to other 
groups; (2) the reason for any differences in promotion and 
attrition; (3) recommendations to improve promotion and 
retention; (4) data and analysis to assist the committee in 
determining whether there are disparities in promotion and 
attrition rates; and (5) any other matters the commission 
believes are relevant to this issue.

Deconflicting Reserve Component and Expeditionary Civilian Deployments 
                     to Provide Adequate Dwell Time

    The committee notes that according to DoDI 1235.12, 
Accessing the Reserve Components, issued June 7, 2016, ``The RC 
provides an operational capability and strategic depth in 
support of the national defense strategy,'' and further that if 
the mobilization-to-dwell ratio for a unit or a member of the 
RC is less than 1 to 4, Secretary of Defense approval is 
required. In addition, the Department of Defense has an 
expeditionary workforce that includes defense civilian 
personnel who also deploy in support of contingency operations 
and may also be members of the Reserve Components. The 
committee is concerned that if the Reserve Components order a 
member to active duty who is employed as a defense civilian, 
the defense agency or military department may not count the 
member's previous recent deployment as an RC member when 
calculating the mobilization-to-dwell ratio. This lack of 
awareness by the Reserve Components of a civilian employee's 
deployment, or alternatively by the military departments or 
defense agencies about a Reserve Component member's 
expeditionary civilian deployment may lead to a lack of 
sufficient dwell time, with an impact on civilian personnel or 
RC retention.
    Therefore, in order to determine the scope of the problem 
of deconflicting Reserve Component and expeditionary civilian 
deployments for the purpose of providing adequate dwell time, 
the Secretary of Defense is directed to provide a report to the 
congressional defense committees by Feb. 15, 2019, as to 
whether the Reserve Components or the defense agencies and 
military departments have mechanisms in place to track and 
account for deployments of defense civilians who are also 
Reservists; to establish to scale of this problem; and to make 
recommendations to the committee for procedures to make it 
possible for the Reserve Components, and the defense agencies 
and military departments, to fully account for the service of 
civilian employees in contingency operations, whether in the RC 
or as expeditionary civilians.

 Federal Wildland Firefighting Education in the Transition Assistance 
                             Program (TAP)

    The Committee continues to look for ways to strengthen the 
Transition Assistance Program (TAP) program to match 
opportunities in the federal workforce with the unique skillset 
of transitioning service members. The Committee acknowledges 
that skills honed during military service including logistics, 
risk mitigation, emergency medicine and response, team 
communications, equipment maintenance, resource accountability, 
and leadership in support of mission are directly transferrable 
to wildland firefighting. While the committee is aware that the 
Department of Defense, DHS, and DOL collaborate with other 
agencies to include information and education about civil 
service opportunities in the federal workforce, the committee 
believes transitioning service members would benefit from 
bolstered TAP program education on wildland firefighting 
careers at agencies including the Bureau of Land Management and 
the U.S. Forest Service. In addition, the Committee encourages 
DOD to pursue strategic partnerships and collaborations with 
non-profit organizations that connect veterans with volunteer 
disaster relief opportunities as part of TAP. The Committee 
notes precedent for collaboration with agencies including USDA 
that provide education on career pathways in agriculture and 
seeks to build on similar successful models of interagency 
partnerships to meet the nation's workforce needs.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to brief the House Committee on Armed Services no later than 
December 31, 2018 on current and potential interagency efforts 
in the TAP program related to wildland firefighting career 
pathways and opportunities in the federal government.

     Foreign Area Officer Personnel Training and Career Management

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense and the 
military services have developed a corps of foreign area 
officers and regional affairs strategists and implemented 
personnel policies to improve their education and training 
requirements. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) required the Secretary to 
oversee the development and management of a professional 
workforce supporting security cooperation programs and 
activities of the Department. The committee is concerned with 
the implementation of this requirement as well as the services' 
career management of these officers.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by December 15, 2018, on the implementation of the Security 
Cooperation Workforce Development Program (SCWDP) required by 
section 384 of title 10, United States Code, and the service 
career management plan for foreign area officers. Elements of 
the briefing shall include:
    (1) how the Department of Defense SCWDP relates to the 
foreign area officer programs of the services;
    (2) how the foreign area officer programs of the services 
will benefit from the Department of Defense SCWDP;
    (3) how the Secretary of each military department is 
adapting their foreign area officer program to the National 
Security Strategy and National Defense Strategy;
    (4) what developmental opportunities the Secretary 
concerned provides for foreign area officers at each grade to 
prepare them for positions of greater responsibility;
    (5) how the Secretary concerned provides promotion 
opportunities for foreign area officers to serve through 
General/Flag Officer ranks, and how these compare to other 
promotion opportunities and rates across the services;
    (6) ways that the Secretary has coordinated efforts 
throughout the joint force to achieve the synergies of best 
practices across the security cooperation enterprise;
    (7) the steps each service is taking to incorporate the 
elements required under the scope of the final guidance of the 
SCWDP, as required under section 384(e)(3) of title 10, United 
States Code, into the career management of foreign area 
officers, and the relevant challenges; and
    (8) the steps the Department is taking to evaluate 
disparate training provided by services and Defense 
Intelligence Agency, and whether elements of such training 
should be provided to all Department of Defense personnel 
posted to embassies overseas.

                 Foster and Adoptive Military Families

    The committee is aware that military families face unique 
challenges as adoptive and foster families, including, but not 
limited to, varying jurisdictional standards and support 
services between states and countries. The committee also notes 
that it is critical to the well-being of the child that all 
adoptions are permanent, and that additional information is 
needed to promote successful adoptions for military families.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a report to the House Armed Services Committee not 
later than 1 March 2019, describing the barriers and challenges 
faced by military families to fostering or adopting. The report 
should include, if applicable, jurisdictional differences 
between states and between countries; access to information; 
pre-placement training; and post-placement support services; 
and causes and/or risks for disruptions or dissolutions of 
military family adoptions. The report should also include what 
pre- and post-placement support services are currently 
available for military families fostering and adopting; the 
feasibility of establishing additional necessary support 
services; and recommendations for implementing additional pre- 
and post-placement services. The report should also include any 
recommendations from the Secretary to address any barriers and 
challenges faced by military families to fostering and 
adopting.

                         Implicit Bias Training

    The Committee commends the Marine Corps for recognizing the 
importance of implicit bias and incorporating unconscious bias 
training when preparing for women joining combat units. 
Unconscious biases, sometimes called implicit biases, are a set 
of automatic preferences so ingrained in people's brains that 
they often do not realize they have them. Implicit or 
unconscious bias disproportionately impacts racial/ethnic 
minorities and women. Comprehensive bias training is research 
informed and addresses implicit/unconscious biases. The Marine 
Corps, civilian educational institutions, and the technology 
and business private sectors have addressed this by including 
both implicit and explicit bias training. Therefore, the 
committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to study the 
feasibility of expanding its current training to include 
research-informed training addressing implicit bias.

Incorporating Consideration of Advanced Technologies into Professional 
                           Military Education

    The Committee understands that a return to great power 
competition represents a key security challenge for the United 
States in the evolving global threat environment. The rapid 
development of new technologies in fields including anti-access 
and area denial weapons, cyber-warfare and electronic warfare, 
information systems, and other asymmetric fields threatens the 
U.S. military's historical overwhelming advantage in 
conventional warfare. Furthermore, the Committee is aware that 
these technologies are increasingly commercial and therefore 
available to both state and non-state actors.
    The Committee notes that, with this threat in mind, the 
Department of Defense is investing heavily in technology to 
enable continued American military supremacy in an environment 
characterized by ``rapid technological advancements and the 
changing character of war,'' per the National Defense Strategy 
(NDS). The Committee is also aware that these areas for 
investment include advanced computing, ``big data'' analytics, 
artificial intelligence, autonomy, robotics, directed energy, 
hypersonics, and biotechnology.
    The Committee notes that effective implementation of the 
NDS require not just research, development and fielding of 
these advanced technologies, but also the integration of these 
technologies into tactical, operational and strategic thought, 
planning, and training. The Committee is also aware that 
experimentation and exploration of these technologies is 
currently occurring in proof of concept programs, exercises, 
and in operational deployments.
    The Committee believes, however, that fully integrating 
advanced technologies into military strategy, operations, and 
tactics requires a comprehensive approach to considering the 
impact of these technologies at all levels of decision-making. 
The Committee is aware of the key role professional military 
education (PME) programs play in educating military leadership 
and providing them the conceptual framework for decision-
making. The Committee commends the efforts of the Department of 
Defense to align functions to support the goals of the NDS and 
look for ways to improve lethality. However, it is unclear how 
decision making under this new strategy is being included in 
PME education materials.
    The Committee therefore directs the Secretary of Defense to 
brief the House Committee on Armed Services on potential ways 
in which the Department of Defense can appropriately integrate 
consideration of next generation technologies into professional 
military education programs for military officers and enlisted 
personnel. This brief should include consideration of the 
appropriate PME schools, institutions or levels; address the 
feasibility of expanding civilian enrollment at PME 
institutions in order to expose military leaders to relevant 
commercial technology leaders; determine the extent to which 
these technological developments may require changes to 
existing warfighting doctrine or operational plans; and 
identify any relevant opportunities for improvement to the 
service-level or joint PME programs, as well as any other 
topics the Secretary deems appropriate, and should be delivered 
to the Committee by December 1, 2018.

              Interagency Recruitment Cooperation Efforts

    The committee notes that the current and future recruiting 
environment for military service is and will continue to be 
difficult with a population that has a lower propensity to 
serve, a recruit pool that is less qualified, and an economy 
that is robust. In this environment, the competition for this 
small pool of recruits will be fierce within the Department of 
Defense between the services, as well as with other Government 
agencies. Cooperation between Government agencies with regard 
to recruits will be critical going forward, especially those 
recruits with a propensity to serve but who might not be 
physically qualified for one service or the other.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by February 1, 2019, on interagency cooperation with regard to 
recruiting for military and other Government agency service. 
Elements of the briefing shall include the following:
    (1) an assessment by the Secretary of the value of cross-
Government agency recruitment and how that would affect 
Department of Defense recruitment efforts;
    (2) what policies the Secretary could put in place in 
cooperation with other agencies to assist with future 
recruitment needs;
    (3) what current coordination is being conducted with other 
agencies to assist when recruiting for the Department of 
Defense or other agencies; and
    (4) what recommendations the Secretary would make on 
interagency recruiting cooperation.

    Joint Professional Military Education and Professional Military 
                          Education Curricula

    The committee believes that quality Professional Military 
Education (PME) and Joint Professional Military Education 
(JPME) are integral to developing tomorrow's strategic leaders. 
The military services provide PME at their respective staff and 
war colleges in order to educate service members in their core 
competencies according to service needs. The JPME program 
places emphasis on preparing leaders to conduct operations as a 
joint force in complex operating environments. Currently, JPME 
is provided at multiple sites across the country, including the 
services' staff and war colleges and the National Defense 
University.
    The committee remains concerned that the quality and 
effectiveness of the faculty and curricula at JPME and PME 
institutions, particularly senior-service colleges, can vary 
based on service tradition, school location, and faculty. In 
addition, the committee is concerned that certain important 
subject areas may be excluded from the curricula because of 
time constraints.
    The committee supports the ongoing efforts of the Chairman 
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Secretaries of the 
Military Departments to evaluate and improve the quality of the 
education provided at JPME and PME institutions. As a part of 
this evaluation, the committee encourages the Chairman of the 
Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Secretaries of the Military 
Departments to consider whether JPME and PME curricula include 
exposure to whole-of-government education, including enrolling 
students from other Federal departments and agencies, hiring 
faculty from other Federal departments and agencies, and 
providing courses and programs designed to reinforce the 
importance of whole of government.

          Military Academy Preparatory School Class Enrollment

    The committee notes that the mission of the military 
academies' preparatory schools is to motivate, prepare, and 
evaluate selected candidates in an academic, military, moral, 
and physical environment in order to perform successfully at 
the military academy. The preparatory school achieves this 
mission by qualifying cadet candidates for academy 
appointments, and developing in those students a sense of 
accomplishment and self-confidence that enables them to succeed 
in a military academy's demanding environment. Admission to a 
preparatory school is competitive, with selections made by 
selection boards. The boards select both enlisted Active Duty 
and civilian applicants who have applied for admission to an 
academy, but were not selected for direct entry.
    The committee is concerned that the average military 
academy preparatory school class consists of only approximately 
25 percent prior-enlisted service members. The committee 
believes that this percentage is extremely low, and that the 
services should focus their outreach efforts for attendance to 
the preparatory schools on the qualified enlisted force who has 
already exhibited propensity to serve.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretaries of the Air 
Force, the Army and the Navy to develop individual service 
plans with the goal of increasing the enrollment of enlisted 
service members at each of the Service Academy Preparatory 
Schools. The Secretaries concerned shall also provide briefings 
to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives by February 1, 2019, on the new outreach plan 
and their recommendations for increased enlisted member 
enrollment.

  Report on Certain Victims' Rights in Connection with Prosecution of 
                          Sex-Related Offenses

    The committee is concerned about the implementation of 
section 534 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public 
Law 113-291), which enhances victims' rights in connection with 
the prosecution of certain sex-related offenses. Specifically, 
the committee is interested in how the Department of Defense 
has implemented the requirement that victims be consulted in 
order to solicit their preference whether the covered offenses 
should be prosecuted by court-martial or in a civilian court 
with jurisdiction over the offense. The committee notes that 
the annual Department of Defense Sexual Assault Prevention and 
Response Office report contains statistics on the number of 
cases prosecuted in civilian courts, but it is not evident from 
this data whether these civilian prosecutions were in 
accordance with the wishes of the victim or simply the only 
option for prosecution of the offenses.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Department of Defense 
Inspector General to submit a report to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives not 
later than April 1, 2019, on the results of a review of the 
Department of Defense and military departments' processes for 
consulting victims in cases in which section 534 applies. The 
report shall include a description of who is responsible for 
consulting with the victim to determine the preference for 
prosecution; an analysis of whether the military services are 
complying with the notification requirement; the method used to 
record the victim's preference and convey the information to 
the relevant authorities; and an analysis of whether the policy 
is applied consistently across the military services.

                Report on Legal Training for Commanders

    The committee understands that U.S. military commanders are 
entrusted with a wide range of responsibilities that are 
necessary to carry out their designated missions. Many of these 
responsibilities involve interpretation of and compliance with 
legal requirements. While the committee understands that judge 
advocates and other legal professionals advise the commanders 
on many of these subjects, the committee is interested in the 
full extent and substance of the legal training that commanders 
receive on the legal authorities with which they have been 
entrusted.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to submit a report to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives not 
later than September 1, 2019, on the following questions:
    (1) What legal training do officers receive throughout 
their careers? Who is responsible for this training, and who 
certifies satisfactory completion?
    (2) What legal and ethics training do commanders receive 
prior to taking command? At what level of command are officers 
required to attend this training? What issues are covered 
during this training, and is the training tailored to the type 
of command the officer is assigned to?
    (3) To what extent and what type of training do commanders 
receive regarding the following topics: military justice; 
contract and fiscal law; administrative law; and international 
and operational law?
    (4) To what extent are the military services complying with 
their legal training requirements for new commanders?
    (5) What resources are available to commanders to assist 
them in carrying out their legal responsibilities?
    (6) What procedures are in place to receive feedback on the 
quality and relevance of the legal training provided to 
commanders? Is that feedback incorporated into periodic 
curriculum reviews?

      Report on Processes for Federal Recognition of Promotion of 
                  Commissioned National Guard Officers

    The committee is concerned that delays in federal 
recognition of National Guard promotions may be increasing and 
that these lengthy delays result in National Guard officers 
being deployed and doing the work of the rank to which they are 
being promoted while receiving the pay of their current rank. 
The committee notes that such delays deprive National Guard 
members of the pay to which they are entitled, reduce their 
time in rank, and may pose retention problems by giving 
National Guard members an incentive to leave military service.
    Therefore the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
and the Secretary of the Air Force to each undertake a 
comprehensive review of the policies and procedures of the 
Department of the Army and the Department Air Force, as 
applicable, for the Federal recognition of promotions of 
commissioned officers of the Army National Guard and the Air 
National Guard, as the case may be, and to report the results 
of this review to the congressional defense committees by 
December 1, 2018. The report shall:
    (1) describe the average time between receipt by the 
military department concerned of scrolls (as defined in 
Department of Defense Instruction 1310.02) indicating the 
promotion of commissioned officers in the National Guard and 
their publication during the five-year period ending on the 
date of the House passage of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2019;
    (2) describe and assess various approaches for streamlining 
the process by which the military department concerned approves 
Federal recognition scrolls, including through--
          (A) additional automation;
          (B) reduction in required steps; or
          (C) delegation of authority to conduct required 
        reviews; and
    (3) make recommendations for legislative or administration 
action to implement an approach under paragraph (2) if the 
Secretary concerned considers such approach feasible, 
advisable, and appropriate.

           U.S. Air Force Pilot Staff Requirements Validation

    The committee remains concerned that the Air Force is 
having difficulty addressing a persistent pilot shortage. 
Pilots are vital to the readiness of the Air Force and these 
shortages may hamper its ability to carry out the 2018 National 
Defense Strategy, especially as it relates to retention and 
recruitment within the fighter pilot community. The committee 
notes that the Air Force provided written testimony to the 
committee on March 21, 2018, stating that the Air Force has a 
shortage of 1,812 pilots across all mission areas, with the 
most acute shortage being fighter pilots. The Air Force admits 
it is taking risk by under-filling its required pilot and rated 
staff officer billets. However, the committee is concerned 
about the current requirement for pilots in staff billets and 
the fact that the requirements for pilot skills in these 
positions have not been validated, nor the requirements 
reviewed, in many years. An assessment of this sort could 
result in a change in the overall number of required pilots on 
the staff.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to evaluate and validate every pilot or rated officer 
required staff billet across the Air Force and joint community 
enterprise, and to address the recommendations of the 
Comptroller General ``Report on Military Personnel: DOD Needs 
to Reevaluate Fighter Pilot Workforce Requirements,'' (GAO-18-
113), and to provide a report to the Committee on Armed 
Services of the House of Representatives not later than 
December 7, 2018, on the methodology and the results of the 
evaluation and validation as well as the implementation of the 
recommendations of the GAO Report.

U.S. Special Operations Command Preservation of the Force and Families 
                        Program Contract Support

    The committee recognizes that U.S. special operations 
forces (SOF) and their families are under unique and continued 
stresses, including psychological, social, spiritual, and human 
performance strains. The committee commends the success of the 
Preservation of the Force and Family (POTFF) program. It has 
helped to alleviate the magnitude of these stresses and break 
the stigma of seeking necessary help. It has also decreased 
rehabilitation time following physical injuries.
    The committee understands U.S. Special Operations Command 
(SOCOM) and component commands have engaged in dialogue with 
the military services on scaling portions of the program to the 
broader force. The committee supports this dialogue and 
encourages the transition by SOCOM of resources and management 
for aspects of POTFF that are scaled to the military services, 
as well as a continual assessment of what remain as SOF-
specific needs.
    However, with POTFF's contract due to expire this fiscal 
year, the committee is concerned by the request for proposal 
submitted by SOCOM. It once again indicates a domineering focus 
on human performance, to the detriment of a distinct emphasis 
on mental, emotional, and behavioral health. The committee 
notes that of the $88.0 million for POTFF in the budget request 
for fiscal year 2019, only $13.0 million was to support the 
Psychological Performance Program to promote, maintain, and 
restore the psychological and behavioral health of SOF.
    With these concerns in mind, the committee directs the 
Commander of Special Operations Command, in coordination with 
the Secretary of Defense, to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by September 14, 2018, on the 
future of POTFF. The briefing shall include:
    (1) how the command plans to balance the emphasis put on 
the four pillars of the program;
    (2) an analysis of mental and behavioral health program 
gaps, to include an in-depth look into POTFF's suicide-
prevention programming; and
    (3) how SOCOM will work with services to identify 
successful elements that can be transitioned to assist 
conventional forces and families.

          TITLE VI--COMPENSATION AND OTHER PERSONNEL BENEFITS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


         Availability of Alcohol at Military Commissary Stores

    The Committee notes the recent announcement made by the 
Department of Defense on the availability of beer and wine at 
military commissary stores in order to provide a similar 
shopping experience to commercial grocery stores.
    In light of these measures, the Committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to conduct a study on the feasibility of 
expanding commissary alcohol sales to include the sale of 
distilled spirits. The study shall include a comparison of 
state and local laws that could impact the expansion of the 
sale of distilled spirits. The study shall also include an 
estimate on revenue and sales that could result from such an 
expansion. The Secretary shall provide a briefing to the 
Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives on 
the detailed findings of the study no later than September 28, 
2018.

         Examination of Flexible/Noncontinuous Maternity Leave

    The Committee commends the Department for granting up to 84 
days for service members following child birth. Although 
current maternity and parental leave policies are a strong step 
in the right direction, more can be done to tailor leave to 
families' unique situations. Continuing its work from 2015 and 
2016, Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services 
(DACOWITS) examined issues and concerns surrounding pregnancy, 
the postpartum period, and parenthood. There is evidence to 
suggest that Service members' ability to maintain work-life 
balance is one of the military's top retention challenges, with 
service members expressing concern that a military career is 
incompatible with having a family. In its most recent report, 
DACOWITS recommends the Secretary of Defense consider allowing 
the Military Services to permit flexible (noncontinuous) use of 
maternity and parental leave if requested by the military 
parent(s). Allowing flexible (noncontinuous) use of maternity 
and parental leave is a strategy mentioned by DACOWITS and 
modeled by leading companies in the private sector. This is one 
potential way to support a servicemember after a child joins 
the member's family. Noncontinuous leave, when requested, could 
help servicemembers better balance their unique family needs 
during critical junctures of their lives and, in turn, help 
support retention efforts. Therefore, not later than December 
1, 2018 the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
submit a report assessing the feasibility of permitting 
flexible (noncontinuous) use of maternity leave.

                Imminent Danger Pay Adjudication Process

    The committee acknowledges that servicemembers continue to 
serve in locations at daily risk of harm from hostile fire, 
explosions, or other hostile actions, and are thus entitled to 
Imminent Danger Pay. The committee understands that, regarding 
the locations and time periods for Imminent Danger Pay 
eligibility, the final adjudicating authority for the 
Department of Defense is the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Personnel and Readiness, who assesses requests submitted by 
geographic Combatant Commanders. The committee has received 
recent testimony that this request, adjudication, and approval 
process can span many months, during which servicemembers in 
harm's way are not receiving Imminent Danger Pay. So that 
Congress may improve its oversight of the timeliness of 
Imminent Danger Pay review and approval, the committee directs 
the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness to 
submit a report to the Committee on Armed Services of the House 
of Representatives, not later than August 31, 2018, listing, 
for the period 2008-2018:
    (1) each request for Imminent Danger Pay made by a 
geographic Combatant Commander, including details on the 
underlying justification for Imminent Danger Pay;
    (2) the date of submission for each request;
    (3) the adjudication status and/or ultimate determination 
for each request; and,
    (4) date of ultimate determination, where applicable.

Small Business Purchasing Contracts for Fresh Fruits and Vegetables for 
                the Defense Commissary Agency (``DeCA'')

    The Committee commends DeCA for its efforts to achieve cost 
savings and provide patrons with an improved shopping 
experience. DeCA strives to maintain a good record of including 
small businesses in its acquisition practices including the 
acquisition of fresh fruits and vegetables through utilizing 
small businesses. These small businesses are best positioned to 
provide quality and fresh produce because of their proximity to 
commissaries and have traditionally provided these products at 
competitive prices. As the transformation proceeds the 
Committee encourages DeCA to continue to utilize small 
businesses for the acquisition of quality fresh fruits and 
vegetables. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by December 1, 2018 on the efforts to continue to 
utilize small businesses for fresh fruits and vegetables.

                         Theaters of Operation

    This section would amend section 1967(a)(3) of title 38, 
United States Code, to mandate, in the case of a member who 
elects to not be insured under a Servicemembers' Group Life 
Insurance plan at the full $400,000 available, the member's 
insurance will automatically increase to $400,000 if they are 
deployed to a combat zone.

         Section 604--Military Housing Privatization Initiative

    This section would assure that the Basic Allowance for 
Housing reduction directed by section 403 of title 10, United 
States Code, would not take effect in fiscal year 2019, 
ensuring that the Military Housing Privatization Initiative 
(MHPI) housing recapitalization efforts are not reduced. The 
committee remains concerned about the reduction in BAH and its 
effect on the recapitalization of these housing units. The 
committee believes that military families must be provided with 
on-base housing that is safe and periodically modernized. 
Additionally, this section would require the Secretary of 
Defense to present a plan to the Committees on Armed Services 
of the Senate and the House of Representatives by December 1, 
2018, to provide for a permanent financial solution to the long 
term MHPI recapitalization problem.

                Section 605--Per Diem Allowance Policies

    This section would halt implementation of the 2014 
Department of Defense per diem policy, direct the Secretary of 
Defense to issue a report on options to reduce travel costs, 
and require notification of any subsequent changes to the per 
diem policies following the report.

             Subtitle B--Bonuses and Special Incentive Pays


 Section 611--One-Year Extension of Certain Expiring Bonus and Special 
                            Pay Authorities

    This section would extend, through December 31, 2019, 
income replacement payments for Reserve Component members 
experiencing extended and frequent mobilization for Active Duty 
service; would extend two critical recruitment and retention 
incentive programs for Reserve Component health care 
professionals; would extend accession and retention incentives 
for nuclear-qualified officers; and would extend the 
consolidated special and incentive pay authorities added to 
subchapter II of chapter 5 of title 37, United States Code, by 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 
(Public Law 110-181). Additionally, this section would extend 
the authority of the Secretary of Defense to prescribe a 
temporary increase in the rates of basic allowance for housing 
otherwise prescribed for a military housing area or a portion 
of a military housing area if the military housing area or 
portion thereof is located in an area covered by a declaration 
by the President that a major disaster exists.

                       Subtitle C--Other Matters


Section 621--Expansions of Installation Benefits to Surviving Spouses, 
               Dependent Children, and Other Next of Kin

    This section would amend section 1126 of title 10, United 
States Code, to require the Secretary of Defense to provide 
lifetime installation access to Gold Star spouses and their 
dependent children for the purposes of attending memorial 
services, visiting gravesites, and accessing survivor services 
to which they are already entitled. Additionally, this section 
would provide the Secretary discretion to provide similar 
access to other surviving family members and require access 
reciprocity between the military services, and would extend 
access to base commissaries, exchanges, and other recreation 
facilities for all remarried surviving military spouses for as 
long as they have surviving dependent children under their 
guardianship.

 Section 622--Transportation on Military Aircraft on a Space-Available 
    Basis for Disabled Veterans With a Service-Connected, Permanent 
                       Disability Rated as Total

    This section would amend section 2641b of title 10, United 
States Code, to authorize space-available travel for disabled 
veterans with a service-connected, permanent disability rated 
as total.

   Section 623--Extension of Parking Expenses Allowance to Civilian 
                   Employees at Recruiting Facilities

    This section would amend section 481i of title 37, United 
States Code, to allow the Secretary of Defense to reimburse 
military and civilian employees of the Department of Defense 
for parking expenses at recruiting facilities.

   Section 624--Advisory Boards Regarding Military Commissaries and 
                               Exchanges

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
direct installation commanders to establish an advisory board 
to advise commanders regarding the interests of patrons and 
beneficiaries of military commissaries and exchanges.

Section 625--Study and Report on Development of a Single Defense Resale 
                                 System

    This section would direct the Secretary of Defense to 
conduct a study to determine the feasibility of consolidating 
the military resale entities into a single defense resale 
system and would prohibit the use of funds in fiscal year 2019 
for any action on consolidation by the Secretary of Defense.

                   TITLE VII--HEALTH CARE PROVISIONS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                Advanced Pain Management Fellows Program

    The committee is aware of the importance of pain management 
health care providers across the Military Health System. More 
specifically, Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) 
are qualified pain practitioners who work in various practice 
settings to treat patients suffering from a wide range of acute 
and chronic pain conditions. CRNA chronic pain management 
practitioners are able to minimize the use of opioids to 
address chronic pain through the use of a multimodal approach 
that includes pharmacologic and non-pharmacologic pain 
mitigation strategies. Furthermore, the holistic approach that 
CRNA pain management practitioners employ when treating their 
chronic pain patients may reduce the reliance on opioids as a 
primary pain management modality, thus aiding in the reduction 
of potential adverse drug events related to opioids. The 
committee believes advanced pain management fellowship programs 
for CRNAs may enhance comprehensive pain management. The 
committee encourages the Secretary of Defense and the 
Secretaries of the military departments to consider advanced 
pain management fellowship programs for CRNAs as part of their 
respective long-term health education and training programs.

                           Athletic Trainers

    The Committee understands that athletic trainers provide 
invaluable services to many people and organizations. However, 
the Committee notes that athletic trainers are not included on 
the TRICARE authorized provider list. Therefore the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by 1 February 2019, that 
examines the potential uses of civilian athletic trainers 
within the TRICARE program, the reimbursement structure for 
athletic trainers for Medicare or other commensurate federal 
health programs, and an assessment of credentialing 
organizations that may help facilitate a standardized 
accreditation process for athletic trainers.

                 Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE)

    The Committee commends the Department of Defense for 
focusing a significant amount of research on studying military 
relevant injuries related to traumatic brain injury (TBI). The 
Committee acknowledges the importance of this research but 
would also like to better understand the potential link between 
TBI and chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). CTE is a 
neurodegenerative disorder that involves the progressive 
accumulation of the protein tau in nerve cells within certain 
regions of the brain. As the tau protein accumulates, it 
disturbs function and appears to lead to symptoms seen in 
affected patients with multiple head trauma. In 2013, a senior 
Department of Defense official stated, ``we are learning 
through the process of discovery the effects of repetitive mild 
traumatic brain injury and also how to prevent this issue of 
chronic traumatic encephalopathy''. Research on CTE has made 
significant advancements, but there are still gaps in research 
between TBI and CTE and understanding the status and progress 
of CTE efforts within the military is of critical importance. 
Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in 
consultation with Secretaries of the military departments, to 
provide a report on CTE research in the military to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the House of Representatives 
and the Senate not later than 1 April 2019. This report shall 
include an assessment of the gaps between CTE and TBI research, 
current funding levels, ongoing research studies, CTE related 
initiatives to track and monitor service-members, and ongoing 
research efforts with the National Institutes of Health, 
executive agencies and civilian academic and research 
organizations.

              Comprehensive Women's Health for Active Duty

    The committee recognizes that as the population of women in 
the military increases and more women seek additional 
opportunities in direct combat units and throughout the joint 
force, it is critical that women's health is addressed 
comprehensively to optimize health and readiness. The committee 
notes the efforts of Navy Medicine with the establishment of 
the Women's Health Clinical Community and the piloting of a 
comprehensive clinic at Naval Medical Center, San Diego, to 
address the complex needs of the Active Duty female population. 
Guided by feedback from clinical and non-clinical stakeholders 
and evidence-based research, the comprehensive women's health 
clinic addresses women's health in a patient-centered manner 
integrating perinatal, women's health, mental health, and force 
readiness. As the Military Health System transitions military 
treatment facilities from the services to the Defense Health 
Agency, the committee encourages the inclusion of similar 
health clinics where appropriate to improve the readiness of 
women in the force.

  Department of Defense Action Plan for Countering Infectious Diseases

    The committee acknowledges the important work across the 
Department of Defense in the areas of preventive medicine and 
infectious disease. The 2014 Ebola outbreak demonstrated the 
need for a prompt and efficient response to a highly infectious 
disease outbreak. It also demonstrated that in the future, the 
U.S. military may be expected to assume a primary role in 
responding to such crises. The likelihood of a future regional 
and global infectious disease crisis is high, and the lessons 
learned from the 2014 Ebola crisis are directly applicable to 
the next potential infectious disease outbreak. It is therefore 
critical that the Department of Defense consider lessons 
learned from previous outbreaks. In addition, the Department 
must take action to promote force health protection from 
emerging infectious diseases while preparing to support 
missions in areas of increased risk or military operations 
supporting international response within a future public health 
emergency.
    The committee therefore directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness 
and Response at the Department of Health and Human Services, to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than June 1, 2019, on the development of an action plan 
focused on efforts to counter emerging infectious disease 
threats. This briefing should identify capability gaps; actions 
taken to improve point-of-care diagnostics linked to disease 
surveillance and information-sharing networks; examine 
infectious disease emergency response teams; capabilities for 
medical evacuation of patients with high consequence 
infections; gaps in infection prevention and control standards; 
and research efforts focused on medical countermeasures.

                      Diabetes Prevention Program

    The committee notes there are an estimated 30 million 
Americans with diabetes but only approximately 50,000 military 
members or their family members have the disease. However, the 
committee understands that the number of military beneficiaries 
with diabetes increases to more than 200,000 for retirees and 
their family members who are under the age of 65 and doubles to 
over 400,000 for those beneficiaries in the TRICARE for Life, 
Medicare-eligible population. If not treated, those with 
diabetes face higher risks of heart disease, kidney failure, 
limb amputations, and blindness. The committee is aware that 
Medicare expanded its diabetes prevention pilot program to 
provide coverage for all eligible at-risk beneficiaries with 
prediabetes who are aged 65 years or older, which has led to 
substantial health care savings as well as reducing the risk of 
patients developing type 2 diabetes. Given the detrimental 
health impact of diabetes as well as the increased costs 
incurred for direct treatment and comorbid medical 
complications of this disease, prevention programs addressing 
the vulnerability of at-risk TRICARE beneficiaries should be 
closely examined.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the Committee on Armed Services of the 
House of Representatives not later than March 1, 2019, that 
examines the feasibility of using a similar program for TRICARE 
beneficiaries to prevent diabetes, improve health, and reduce 
health care costs.

         Direct Report Language on National Guard Mental Health

    The Committee remains concerned about the high rate of 
suicides in the reserve component and specifically, within the 
Army National Guard. The Committee is aware of numerous efforts 
by the Chief of the National Guard Bureau to increase access 
and resources for Guardsmen to receive behavioral health 
treatment and support. The Committee also supports the 
establishment of a more integrated and holistic approach to 
resilience and fitness across the National Guard to better 
assess and improve the operational readiness of Guardsmen by 
carrying out pilot programs as required. Therefore, the 
Committee directs the Chief of the National Guard Bureau to 
provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than 1 March 2019, on the effectiveness of National Guard 
Bureau behavioral health programs like resiliency, suicide 
prevention, and other mental health outreach efforts.

                   Exceptional Family Member Program

    The committee notes the purpose of the Exceptional Family 
Member Program (EFMP) is to provide comprehensive and 
coordinated community support, housing, educational, medical, 
and personnel services worldwide to military families with 
children with special needs. The committee is concerned that 
with over 100,000 families participating in the EFMP and 
inconsistent application of the Department of Defense policy 
across the services, there are families who are inadvertently 
disadvantaged by not having an individualized service plan. The 
committee is also concerned that the Department of Defense and 
military services lack the common performance measures and 
outcome metrics to assess assignment coordination and family 
support.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to develop a plan consisting of common performance metrics for 
assignment coordination and family support, including best 
practices for performance measurement; a systematic process for 
evaluating the results of monitoring activities conducted by 
each of the military services program; and a review to 
determine the feasibility of creating interstate compacts as a 
requirement for schools supporting EFMP students.
    The committee further directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing to the Committee on Armed Services of the 
House of Representatives not later than March 1, 2019, on this 
plan.

                          GAO Audit of TRICARE

    The committee notes that during the 2018 transition of 
TRICARE managed care support contractors, many issues related 
to network adequacy arose, which affected beneficiary access to 
care, specifically access to mental health services. There is 
evidence that mental health providers from the East and West 
regions received new contracts that include a proposed 30% 
discount off Civilian Health and Medical Program of the 
Uniformed Services (CHAMPUS) rates. With the limited options 
and resources that TRICARE beneficiaries currently have, these 
discounts will further jeopardize the mental health of military 
members, veterans, and their families who rely on TRICARE for 
their basic needs.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) to conduct a 
study of the Defense Health Agency's (DHA) oversight of the 
transition of TRICARE managed care support contractors for its 
TRICARE regions. The Comptroller General shall provide a report 
to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives by September 30, 2019 detailing the extent to 
which (i) DHA provided guidance and oversight to the outgoing 
and incoming managed care support contractors; (ii) there were 
any issues with health care delivery, and if so, the effect, if 
at all, DHA's guidance and oversight during the transition 
period had on these issues as well as DHA's resolutions for 
remediating any managed care support contractors' deficiencies; 
and (iii) DHA has reviewed any lessons learned from prior 
transitions and incorporated them into the current transition.

          Global Health Engagement Organization Consolidation

    The committee recognizes the Department of Defense's 
efforts to develop global health engagement (GHE) capabilities 
that have become an integral part of combatant command security 
cooperation initiatives. These activities are used to improve 
military health professional readiness and interoperability by 
providing important training opportunities and experiences in 
operational settings with partner nations. However, the 
committee is concerned that there is duplication of effort with 
the Defense Institute for Medical Operations. The Defense 
Institute for Medical Operations supports overseas train-the-
trainer programs on topics such as disaster management, force 
health protection, health surveillance, and other areas of 
health practice.
    As part of the Uniformed Services University of Health 
Science (USUHS) mission to support military readiness, the 
Center for Global Health Engagement was established by the 
Department of Defense to provide an enterprise-wide hub for GHE 
to support the combatant commands with leadership and 
scholarship; strategic and operational support to the joint 
force; training and professional development; management of 
GHE-related research; and assessment, monitoring, and 
evaluation activities. The committee believes USUHS provides a 
vital nexus of education and training for the Military Health 
System and may serve as an important support platform that 
provides economies of scale related to training, education, 
campus locations, and infrastructure support.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than April 1, 2019, on the feasibility of 
consolidating and integrating the capabilities of the Center 
for Global Health Engagement and the Defense Institute of 
Medical Operations into one organization.

              Improving Delivery of Mental Health Services

    The committee acknowledges the efforts of the Department of 
Defense and the military services to diagnose and treat 
military members suffering from mental health disorders. The 
committee commends the Department for systems it has in place 
to ensure service members receive standard of care for 
disorders where clinical evidence has informed best practices 
for treatment. However, there is room for improvement: the MHS 
lacks an enterprise wide system to accurately and consistently 
track care, cost, and implementation of evidence based quality 
medical and behavioral health therapeutic services for mental 
health disorders. The committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to provide a briefing to the Committee on Armed 
Services of the House of Representatives not later than 
December 1, 2018 on the following: (1) feasibility study for 
creating a formalized methodology for tracking, measuring, and 
reporting across the MHS to ensure delivery of cost effective, 
evidence based quality treatments; (2) data and analysis to 
assist the committee in determining whether there are 
challenges to implementing evidence based mental health 
treatments for military personnel; (3) recommendations for 
addressing the current translation of innovative biomarker and 
neuroimaging diagnostics and research findings into practice; 
(4) any other matters the Secretary of Defense believes are 
relevant to this issue.

   Improving Health Care Choices for Severely Injured Service Members

    The committee seeks to better serve severely disabled 
veterans who are entitled to hospital insurance benefits under 
part A of title XVIII of the Social Security Act. The committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
Secretary of Human Health Services and the Commissioner of 
Social Security, to report on the total number of individuals 
who are retired from the Armed Services under chapter 61 of 
title 10, United States Code; entitled to hospital insurance 
benefits under part A of title XVIII of the Social Security Act 
pursuant to receiving benefits for 24 months as described in 
subparagraph (A) or (C) of section 226(b)(2) of such Act (42 
U.S.C. 426(b)(2)); and because of such entitlement, are no 
longer enrolled in TRICARE Prime or TRICARE Select (as those 
terms are defined in section 1072 of title 10, United States 
Code) under chapter 55 of title 10, United States Code. The 
committee further directs the Secretary to submit the results 
of the report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
December 1, 2018.

              Joint Advanced Orthopedic Surgical Training

    The committee is aware of the importance of limiting 
musculoskeletal injuries (MSKI), which on average result in 
21,000 shoulder and knee arthroscopies affecting service 
members per year. The committee also recognizes that military 
orthopedic surgeons may be challenged to participate in 
civilian training partnerships to maintain or learn specialized 
techniques needed to care for military beneficiaries due to 
operational missions. These training challenges may have a 
significant impact on both the readiness of military personnel 
and the costs associated with MSKI for the Department of 
Defense. The committee encourages the Secretary of Defense and 
the Secretaries of the military departments to consider joint 
advanced orthopedic surgical training partnerships as an 
integral component of their respective long-term health 
education and training programs.

            Mental Health Care in the Military Health System

    The committee commends the Department of Defense and 
military services' significant efforts over the past decade to 
aggressively improve treatment of traumatic brain injury (TBI), 
post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic traumatic 
encephalopathy (CTE), and other mental health issues. The 
committee also recognizes the importance of research and 
innovation being made in the treatment of brain disease and the 
need to improve collaboration between the Department of 
Defense, the National Institutes of Health, the Department of 
Veterans Affairs, and medical research translation offices at 
major universities. As the Military Health System transitions 
the operations of the military treatment facilities (MTF) from 
the military services to the Defense Health Agency, the 
committee notes this area of research and treatment needs 
aggressive oversight.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Secretaries of the military 
departments, to submit a report to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives not 
later than April 1, 2019, on the plan for the Military Health 
System to provide mental health care services as part of the 
transition of the MTFs. This report shall include an assessment 
of how mental health care providers will be arranged within the 
command structure of the Defense Health Agency, how mental 
health care policy and processes will be managed within the 
Defense Health Agency to deliver mental health care services to 
members of the Armed Forces and covered beneficiaries; the 
ability of each service Surgeon General to maintain the 
readiness of the military health workforce to deliver mental 
health care services operationally in support of deployed 
forces. In addition, this report shall include a plan to 
accelerate innovation and delivery of treatments for TBI, CTE 
and PTSD to members of the Armed Forces and covered 
beneficiaries through improved coordination of behavioral 
health research and development efforts across the federal 
government, academic institutions, and industry; inclusion of 
evidence-based suicide prevention programs; promotion of 
acquisition strategies that utilize other transaction 
authorities to accelerate development and delivery of promising 
breakthrough therapies for TBI, CTE and PTSD; facilitation of 
public-private investment partnerships to pursue psychiatric 
and brain disease treatments; and plans to expeditiously field 
Food and Drug Administration--cleared pharmaceuticals and 
medical devices that provide clinicians with therapeutics and 
tools for rapid, accurate assessments of traumatic brain injury 
and PTSD.

    Military Entrance Processing Command Physical Examination Model

    The committee acknowledges the critical mission U.S. 
Military Entrance Processing Command (MEPCOM) performs 
throughout the United States. An important component of the 
MEPCOM mission is ensuring prospective service members are 
provided a physical examination as part of the military 
accession process. However, the committee is concerned that 
MEPCOM is unable to ensure these physical examinations are 
provided in a timely manner. The committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than January 15, 2019, 
that evaluates the commercially distributed physical 
examination model being used by the Department of Defense 
Medical Examination Board and explores the feasibility of the 
MEPCOM contracting for physical examination services.

                     Military Nurse Work Experience

    The committee is aware that military nurses provide 
critical support across the Military Health System. However, 
national nursing shortages and vigorous salary and bonus 
competition for journey-level nurses has impacted the ability 
of the military to attract more experienced nurses to civil 
service. The inability to compete for nurses, coupled with 
restrictive Federal guidelines that dictate the hiring of new 
graduate nurses at considerably lower salaries than civilian 
counterparts, has in some instances created significant 
compensation disparity between military treatment facilities 
and hospitals in the local community. Additionally, a recent 
change to the Office of Personnel Management policy may limit 
applicant pools and adversely impact the ability of military 
treatment facilities to foster growth and development of 
current employees who have completed additional education and 
obtained further licensure. The committee encourages the 
Secretary of Defense to work with the Office of Personnel 
Management to consider new qualification and classification 
standards for military nurses.

                  Military Nutrition and Diet Planning

    The committee understands that a significant number of 
Active Duty military can currently be considered obese. This 
likely leads to additional health care costs and loss of 
military readiness, with too many Active Duty soldiers, 
sailors, marines, and airmen unable to deploy due to illness or 
injury. To ensure that our military is ready to fight today and 
in the future, on February 14, 2018, the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Personnel and Readiness issued policy guidance to 
the military services that states: ``Service members who have 
been non-deployable for more than 12 consecutive months, for 
any reason, will be processed for administrative separation . . 
. .'' With this renewed emphasis on military personnel policies 
necessary to provide a more ready and lethal force, the 
committee is concerned that the Department of Defense lacks a 
cohesive, science-based approach to diet and nutrition that 
supports that goal. It is incumbent upon the Department to 
ensure our service members are trained and resourced in ways 
that will allow them to perform duties necessary to remain in a 
full-duty and deployable status. Healthy food options are a key 
component of this effort.
    The committee is aware that the Department has funded 
research on optimal nutritional approaches that promote 
performance and reduce illness, injury, and other health 
problems in order to ensure that deployable personnel are 
prepared for worldwide assignments.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
January 15, 2019, detailing this research and its conclusions. 
The briefing should include, among other aspects, an overview 
of studies that focused on the usage of low carbohydrate diets, 
which show promising outcomes for physiological and performance 
factors key to warfighter readiness and effectiveness. 
Additionally, the briefing should discuss the use of standard 
dietary guidelines as defined by the U.S. Dietary Guidelines 
for Americans, as well as any other available comparisons. The 
briefing should also include systemic factors that inhibit the 
delivery of food options other than those defined by the U.S. 
Dietary Guidelines for Americans to service members at 
Department of Defense dining facilities and other venues. 
Finally, this briefing should include the plan for a 
Department-wide approach to diet and nutrition that 
incorporates performance-based outcomes in support of 
warfighter readiness.

    Mitigating Work Place Violence in Military Treatment Facilities

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense 
incorporated many of the recommendations into policy to address 
workplace violence following the 2009 Ft. Hood shooting review. 
The committee is concerned that there are still gaps in the 
implementation of the policies with respect to establishing 
Threat Assessment Teams in Military Treatment Facilities. This 
is evident by the 2016 incident at Ft. Leavenworth hospital 
when an employee set his supervisor on fire. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Armed Service Committee no later than 1 
March 2019 on the establishment of the Threat Assessment Teams 
at Military Treatment Facilities and the training provided to 
the members of the team.

                       Orthotics for New Recruits

    Custom orthotics are offered to servicemembers in some 
circumstances with a referral from their primary care provider, 
however it is the understanding of the committee that there is 
currently not a uniform method for providing orthotics to 
servicemembers across the joint force. With over 70% of 
muscular-skeletal injuries affecting the lower extremities, 
higher priority must be placed on injury prevention, which will 
likely reduce the cost of treatment and increase force 
readiness. The committee therefore directs the Secretaries of 
each service to seek advice from the orthopedic and podiatric 
consultants residing within each branch of the Armed Forces 
regarding the benefits of prescribing and dispensing custom 
orthotics to each new recruit upon entering the military, and 
follow up with a briefing to Congress no later than April 1, 
2019.

                  Periodic Health Assessment Analysis

    The committee notes the continued progress in reforming the 
Department of Defense Periodic Health Assessment (PHA). The 
Department implemented the new electronic PHA in February 2018. 
The new PHA is designed to accomplish multiple requirements and 
provide standardized health assessment data that can be 
analyzed and compared across all military services, as well as 
to national standards. The PHA includes a comprehensive health 
risk assessment using evidence-based diagnostic tools validated 
and recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and 
Prevention and clinical specialty leaders. This is a systematic 
collection and analysis of health-related information for use 
by service members, health care providers, and health care 
teams to identify and support beneficial health behaviors and 
mutually work to direct changes in potentially harmful health 
behaviors. The committee encourages the Secretary of Defense 
and the Secretaries of the military departments to continue to 
reform the PHA and use predictive analytics to examine 
population health factors and trend analysis to better 
understand comprehensive health risk assessment and improve the 
readiness of the force.

                   Podiatric Surgeons in the Military

    The committee is concerned that surgically advanced 
military podiatrists are not presented with the same 
administrative opportunities as surgeons and doctors of other 
medical disciplines, and have historically had few 
opportunities for positions of leadership across the military 
medical enterprise. Podiatric surgery, as a medical discipline 
in the Armed Forces, has evolved over the last several decades, 
including an additional 3-year surgical residency requirement 
for all military podiatric surgeons. Podiatrists have 
increasingly deployed to combat zones overseas, serving in a 
variety of ways to meet the surgical needs of our warfighters. 
Moreover, podiatric surgeons remain in the Medical Service 
Corps in the Army and Navy, and the Biomedical Science Corps in 
the Air Force. This alignment does not administratively suit 
the profession, and podiatric surgeons may serve more 
effectively when aligned with surgeons of other medical 
disciplines. Lastly, while Army Reserve surgeons receive a 90-
day rotation exemption limiting their tour of duty in combat, 
Reserve podiatric surgeons are not eligible for this exemption. 
This creates challenges to recruiting the best podiatrists for 
military service, and is especially difficult for podiatrists 
serving in the Reserve component who are faced with the 
possibility of a long deployment with potentially adverse 
effects on their civilian practice. The committee therefore 
directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
Secretaries of the military departments, to submit a report to 
the House Committee on Armed Services not later than April 1, 
2019, on improvements that can be made to podiatry as a medical 
discipline within the Armed Services; how podiatry is aligned 
within each military branch; and what efforts are being made to 
provide additional clinical, command, training, and leadership 
opportunities to podiatrists across the joint force.

                        Podiatry in the Military

    The committee is concerned that surgically advanced 
military podiatrists are not presented with the same 
advancement opportunities as surgeons and doctors of other 
medical disciplines, and have historically had few 
opportunities for positions of command across the military 
medical enterprise. Podiatry, as a medical discipline in the 
Armed Forces, has evolved over the last several decades, 
including an additional 3-year surgical residency requirement 
for all military podiatrists. Podiatrists have increasingly 
deployed to combat zones overseas, serving in a variety of ways 
to meet the surgical needs of our warfighters. Moreover, 
podiatrists remain in the Medical Service Corps in the Army and 
Navy, and the Biomedical Science Corps in the Air Force. This 
alignment often limits advancement and leadership opportunities 
in the civilian sector, and may put them at a disadvantage when 
compared to officers in the Medical Corps. Lastly, while 
surgeons of other disciplines receive a 90-day rotation 
exemption limiting their tour of duty in combat, podiatrists 
are not eligible for this exemption. This creates challenges to 
recruiting the best podiatrists for military service, and is 
especially difficult for podiatrists serving in the Reserve 
component who are faced with the possibility of a long 
deployment with potentially adverse effects on their civilian 
practice.
    The committee therefore directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Secretaries of the military 
departments, to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than April 1, 2019, on improvements that can 
be made to podiatry as a medical discipline within the Armed 
Services; how podiatry is aligned within each military branch; 
and what efforts are being made to provide additional clinical, 
command, training, and advancement opportunities to podiatrists 
across the joint force.

Study on CT Angiography and Fractional Flow Reserve Computed Tomography 
                     in the Military Health System

    The Committee is aware of the significant health and cost 
savings advantages of new technology for non-invasive diagnosis 
of cardiac artery disease through cardiac CT angiography (CTA) 
and fractional flow reserve computed tomography (FFRct). This 
FDA approved diagnostic device coupled with use of CTA as an 
initial testing strategy is recognized as part of a preferred 
pathway of care by the Blue Cross Blue Shield Association, the 
American College of Cardiology, the American Heart Association, 
and the National Health Service in the United Kingdom. The 
committee directs the Director of the Defense Health Agency to 
provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services no 
later than March 1, 2019, that reviews and assesses the 
clinical efficacy of this technology and how it may be 
incorporated throughout the Military Health System.

 Support for Global Health Security Agenda and Briefing on Joint Staff 
                            Recommendations

    The Committee is supportive of the Department of Defense 
contributions to biosecurity and the Global Health Security 
Agenda (GHSA). The DoD possesses unique capabilities that 
contribute to interagency efforts to prevent, detect, and 
respond to outbreaks of infectious disease worldwide, as 
demonstrated by the response to Ebola in West Africa.
    As the Ebola response required in excess of $600 million in 
DoD funding, the Committee is supportive of ensuring that the 
DoD learns lessons that can be applied to future pandemic 
prevention and response efforts. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Director of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than October 31, 2018 on implementation of 
recommendations made by the Joint Staff in its 2016 analysis of 
Operation United Assistance. The briefing shall include, but 
not be limited to, the status of implementation of the 
following recommendations:
    (A) Participate in or facilitate interagency meetings to 
synchronize the GHSA plans and activities. Support GHSA 
initiatives in partner countries.
    (B) Conduct a capability based assessment to identify gaps 
in DoD's ability to respond to infectious disease outbreaks, 
both domestically and internationally.
    (C) Sustain, and expand if possible public health-related 
capacity building for the full range of infectious diseases 
with partner countries as conditions allow.
    (D) Work with CDC and other stakeholders to develop a 
strategic plan for a global laboratory network and improved 
information sharing.
    (E) Identify and leverage opportunities to expand sampling 
programs to enhance OCONUS disease surveillance and gain an 
improved understanding of disease prevalence in different 
geographic areas.
    (F) Support the continued development of USG strategic 
plans that increase the public health and bio-surveillance 
capacities of partner nations.

      Therapeutic Service Dog Training Program for Service Members

    The committee is aware that service dog training therapy 
can provide important therapeutic benefits to service members 
recovering from post-traumatic stress disorder, traumatic brain 
injury, and other post-deployment mental health conditions. The 
committee notes the important role played by non-governmental 
organizations that have established robust programs in the 
training and handling of therapeutic service dogs, and further 
notes that the right mix of personnel with the appropriate 
backgrounds and certifications facilitates positive therapeutic 
experiences. The committee believes these programs, whenever 
possible, should use data and research to continue to improve 
their effectiveness in assisting service members. The committee 
encourages the Secretary of Defense to continue administering a 
therapeutic service dog-training program that delivers 
effective and positive therapeutic and emotional benefits to 
service members recovering from post-traumatic stress disorder 
and other post-deployment mental health conditions.

           TRICARE Managed Care Support Contractor Reporting

    The committee notes the TRICARE benefit underwent 
considerable reform beginning January 1, 2018. The Department 
of Defense consolidated the TRICARE regions from three to two 
as part of the updated TRICARE management contract, and 
Congress directed that the TRICARE benefit be consolidated into 
two plans: a Healthcare Maintenance Plan and a Preferred 
Provider Plan. Both reforms took effect on January 1, 2018. The 
committee is aware of challenges for beneficiaries regarding 
timely appointments, referrals, provider network development, 
and other administrative processing functions. The committee is 
concerned these challenges may be impacting beneficiary access 
to health care services. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the Committee on 
Armed Services of the House of Representatives not later than 
March 1, 2019, on managed care support contractor compliance 
with performance metrics and standards relating to 
appointments, referral processing, network development (to 
include the requirement to cover 85 percent of the 
beneficiaries with standard select coverage in Prime Service 
Areas with special emphasis on remote locations), and other 
administrative processing functions.

  TITLE VIII--ACQUISITION POLICY, ACQUISITION MANAGEMENT, AND RELATED 
                                MATTERS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                  Assessment of Acquisition Workforce

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide 
the House Armed Services Committees no later than December 1, 
2018 a report to assess the current effectiveness of Defense 
Acquisition University's mission to adequately train the 
Department of Defenses' acquisition workforce and other 
personnel involved in the acquisition process. This report 
shall include an assessment of Defense Acquisition University's 
ability to adequately train students to write acquisition 
requirements (including scope of work) so that requirements are 
developed in such a way as to meet the needs of the Department, 
as well as its ability to adequately train students on the 
appropriate use of transactions other than contracts, 
cooperative agreements, and grants, also known as other 
transaction authority, and additional items at the Secretary's 
discretion.

             Briefing on Athletic Footwear for New Recruits

    The committee notes the health and safety of newly 
recruited servicemembers is of utmost importance. The committee 
notes athletic footwear furnished to new recruits upon entering 
the military should be consistently issued in a manner that 
accounts for each recruit's individual physiological 
requirement in order to prevent lower extremity musculoskeletal 
injuries. The committee directs the Department of Defense to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services, 
not later than November 1, 2018, on the Department's effort to 
examine, measure, and fit new recruits with athletic shoes in 
an effort to reduce and prevent injury. The briefing will 
present the information separately by individual service as 
well as in aggregate.

   Comptroller General Report on the Issuance of Regulations in the 
           Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement

    The committee notes that despite recent legislative reform 
to the acquisition system there has been a significant delay 
between statutory enactment and issuance of regulations in the 
Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS). For 
example, a final rule on procurement of commercial items 
(issued in January 2018) amended the DFARS based upon 
requirements from as long ago as the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239). As 
a result, the acquisition and contracting communities within 
and outside the Federal Government are unable to take full 
advantage of recent reforms and improvements to acquisition and 
contracting procedures. The committee is concerned that the 
momentum generated by congressional acquisition reform 
initiatives has been lost as a result of delayed, and 
potentially incomplete, revision of regulations, and seeks to 
identify and remedy the causes of such delays. According to the 
Department of Defense's operating guidance for the DFARS, the 
standard timeline for issuance of a final rule is one year, 
including multiple layers of review within and outside the 
Department as well as time for public comment. The committee 
seeks recommendations on how to reduce that timeline and ensure 
that previously enacted statutory provisions are not 
disregarded in regulation. The committee also encourages 
exploration of other ways to quickly implement enacted reforms 
such as through interim policy memoranda or other guidance, 
without the need for formal regulatory action.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to submit a report to the congressional 
defense committees by March 1, 2019, on the issuance of 
regulations in the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation 
Supplement as required under statutory provisions enacted in 
past National Defense Authorization Acts. The report should 
describe the existing revision process and assess the status of 
statutory provisions enacted since fiscal year 2010. The report 
should assess the factors delaying revision to the DFARS and 
provide recommendations for any changes that might accelerate 
such revisions. The committee intends for the Comptroller 
General to focus on acquisition policy-related statutory 
provisions enacted in past National Defense Authorization Acts.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
December 1, 2018, on preliminary findings.

         Contract Incentives for Superior Supplier Performance

    The committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than December 1, 2018, on 
the Department of Defense's Superior Supplier Incentive 
Program. This program is designed to recognize and reward 
contractors who demonstrate superior performance by focusing on 
cost, schedule, performance, quality, and responsiveness. The 
briefing should include discussion of the feasibility of 
providing contract incentives, such as more favorable contract 
terms and conditions, which had been considered in relation to 
the Department of the Navy's Superior Supplier Incentive 
Program that preceded the Department of Defense's program.

                       Core Logistics Capability

    The committee notes that section 2464 of title 10, United 
States Code, requires the Department of Defense to maintain a 
core logistics capability that is Government-owned and 
Government-operated (including Government personnel and 
Government-owned and Government-operated equipment and 
facilities) to ensure a ready and controlled source of 
technical competence and resources necessary to ensure 
effective and timely response to a mobilization, national 
defense contingency situations, and other emergency 
requirements. The committee further notes that recent National 
Defense Authorization Acts have made important changes to 
commercial item statutes, and that elsewhere in this Act the 
committee recommends further changes to the statutes governing 
commercial items. In all cases, the committee expects the 
Department to implement any statutory changes in a manner 
consistent with the mandate in section 2464 of title 10, United 
States Code, to maintain core logistics capabilities.
    The committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services, not later than February 1, 2019, 
on the Department's implementation of changes to commercial 
item statutes enacted in National Defense Authorization Acts 
for fiscal years 2016 through 2019, and how such changes may 
affect core logistics capability in the future.

                   Data Rights Impact to Sustainment

    The committee is concerned about access to appropriate data 
rights with regard to long-term sustainment of weapon systems, 
especially for weapon systems transitioning to organic depot 
sustainment.
    The committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by September 30, 2018, on the 
process and status of obtaining appropriate data rights for 
long-term sustainment of weapon systems transitioning to 
organic depots.

             Domestic Samarium Cobalt Magnet Manufacturing

    The committee is aware of the Department of Defense's 
continued need for a reliable rare earth magnet manufacturing 
industrial base to provide key components in many weapon 
systems. The committee is concerned that a recent memorandum of 
understanding (MOU) with Japan may result in the outsourcing of 
all remaining rare earth magnet manufacturing capability in the 
United States to foreign manufacturers. There is currently one 
U.S.-owned and -operated rare earth magnet manufacturing 
facility in the United States, which produces samarium cobalt 
magnets. The committee urges the Secretary of Defense to take 
the appropriate steps to ensure that the United States is not 
completely without a commercial-scale rare earth magnet 
manufacturing facility.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by September 
30, 2018, on the risks to the current domestic rare earth 
supply chain, including domestic samarium cobalt magnet makers, 
as a result of the MOU with Japan. The briefing should also 
describe the Department's strategy for preserving the long-term 
viability of the U.S. rare earth magnet industrial base.

                   Ensuring Availability of Beryllium

    The committee notes that beryllium is the only material 
designated by the Department of Defense's Strategic Materials 
Protection Board as a critical material. The committee notes 
there is a complete, vertically integrated supply chain in the 
United States for beryllium metal and other beryllium products 
that are used in major defense systems including the F-35 Joint 
Strike Fighter and nuclear weapon systems. This supply chain 
has historically been supported by the Department of Defense 
through the Defense Production Act and other authorities as 
required in order to maintain access to this critical, 
strategic material.
    The committee is interested in the Department's efforts to 
help the U.S. defense industrial base sustain a secure, viable, 
and affordable domestic supply of beryllium.
    The committee therefore directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than September 30, 2018, on the Department's efforts to 
maintain the availability of beryllium for defense needs. The 
briefing should address the following:
    (1) what steps the Department is taking to ensure a stable 
and affordable domestic supply chain for beryllium;
    (2) whether the Department intends to provide any guidance 
regarding individual programs using beryllium feedstock from 
the Russian Federation and metal production from the Republic 
of Kazakhstan;
    (3) the Department's coordination with the National Nuclear 
Security Administration to maintain the availability of 
beryllium for nuclear modernization requirements;
    (4) the Department's efforts to work with the Occupational 
Safety and Health Administration to ensure that regulatory 
burdens do not jeopardize the domestic beryllium supply chain; 
and
    (5) the potential opportunities for the Department's 
guidance to its component agencies and military services to 
ensure a whole-of-Department approach to beryllium supply.

  Final Activities of and Archiving of Records for Advisory Panel on 
           Streamlining and Codifying Acquisition Regulations

    The committee notes that the Advisory Panel on Streamlining 
and Codifying Acquisition Regulations has continued to provide 
analysis to the relevant congressional committees and the 
Department of Defense to support statutory and regulatory 
implementation of recommendations contained in volume 1 of its 
final report. The committee expects the Advisory Panel to 
provide additional recommendations to Congress and the 
Executive Branch in volumes 2 and 3 of the final report. The 
Advisory Panel, pursuant to section 883 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), 
which amended section 809 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), will remain in 
existence for 180 days following delivery of volume 3 of the 
final report in January 2019. During this final 6-month period, 
the Advisory Panel should continue to provide any necessary 
analysis and clarification of recommendations contained in the 
final report to Congress and the Executive Branch to support 
and facilitate statutory and regulatory implementation of such 
recommendations.
    The committee expects that the Department of Defense's 
acquisition reform efforts will not cease upon the termination 
of the Advisory Panel on Streamlining and Codifying Acquisition 
Regulations. In addition, the Department of Defense's 
implementation of recent legislative reforms as well as the 
Advisory Panel's recommendations on regulations will require 
continued research and analysis by the Department. The 
committee notes that section 809 of Public Law 114-92 
established the National Defense University as one of the 
sponsors of the Advisory Panel.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense that upon 
termination of the Advisory Panel, the Advisory Panel's records 
shall be maintained by the Eisenhower School at the National 
Defense University by no later than August 1, 2019.

  Installation of Command, Control, Communication and Computer Systems

    The committee remains concerned that the Navy is using 
lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) contracting 
procedures inappropriately, particularly when acquiring complex 
systems, including command and control systems or services for 
the installation of command and control systems on ships. The 
committee notes that the Navy faces a significant backlog of 
maintenance and repair on ships and this backlog includes 
upgrades of command and control systems. The capacity of the 
Navy to reduce the backlog of needed repairs remains of concern 
to the committee. Consequently, the committee directs the 
Secretary of the Navy to provide a briefing to the House Armed 
Services Committee not later than March 1, 2019, on the Navy's 
acquisition plan for command and control systems and the 
installation of these systems aboard Navy vessels. The briefing 
shall include an overview on how the Navy plans to reduce the 
backlog of needed command and control system upgrades, as well 
as the physical installation of these systems on Navy vessels. 
The briefing shall include the Navy's plan for acquiring 
adequate contracting capacity for the performance of the 
required work, the plan to incentivize contractors to perform 
the work quickly, and the total amount of work programmed for 
the next five years by class of ship.

                     Mandatory Arbitration Briefing

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than March 1, 2019, on steps the Department has taken to ensure 
compliance with the provisions of Subpart 222.74 of the Defense 
Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement concerning 
restrictions on the use of mandatory arbitration agreements. 
The briefing shall include steps taken to ensure that the 
Department does not fund contracts in excess of $1 million with 
contractors that require as a condition of employment that 
employees enter an agreement to resolve certain claims and 
torts through arbitration. The briefing shall also include 
steps taken to ensure that contractors have certified that 
covered subcontractors, as defined in the clause at 252.222-
7006 of the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement, 
have been required to agree not to enter into such agreements. 
The briefing shall also include the extent to which the 
Secretary of Defense has waived the requirements of this 
subpart. The briefing shall also include potential ways for 
Department of Defense to determine the prevalence of mandatory 
arbitration by Department of Defense contractors compared to 
contractors that do not do business with Department of Defense.

              Manufacturing Extension Partnership Program

    The committee supports and recognizes the importance of the 
National Institute of Standards and Technology Manufacturing 
Extension Partnership program. The committee understands that 
the Manufacturing Extension Partnership program provides 
assistance to small- and medium-sized manufacturing companies 
to reduce costs, increase productivity, improve management, 
enhance supply chains, and adapt to new market and supply chain 
opportunities. In addition, the committee believes that 
additional resourcing and support for the program would likely 
provide these services to a larger number of manufacturers 
involved in Department of Defense programs.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing 
to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 
1, 2019, on the Department of Defense plans for future 
cooperation with the Manufacturing Extension Partnership 
program, including collaborative efforts between the Department 
and the Manufacturing Extension Partnership program. The 
briefing should also include a review of potential 
opportunities for expanding Department support for the 
Manufacturing Extension Partnership program in an effort to 
provide assistance to manufacturing elements of the defense 
industrial base.

                       National Defense Stockpile

    The committee notes the importance of the National Defense 
Stockpile and of the preservation of strategic and critical 
materials for national defense. The committee is concerned 
about the current risks and long-term sustainability of the 
National Defense Stockpile. According to the Department of 
Defense, there are significant unsatisfied stockpile 
requirements, and, under the current program-financing model, 
the Transaction Fund will be unsustainable by 2024.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by September 
30, 2018, on the National Defense Stockpile. The briefing 
should address the following:
    (1) the Department's plan to address the current 
unmitigated risks;
    (2) how the Department will make the Transaction Fund 
sustainable;
    (3) an overview of the Department's stockpile management to 
include acquisition of materials, storage, security, and 
maintenance;
    (4) the Department's ability to upgrade, refine, and 
process the material for storage, disposition, or use; and
    (5) any vulnerabilities to the National Defense Stockpile 
supply chain and the Department's risk mitigation efforts.

                    Navy Build-to-Print Cost Savings

    The committee supports expanding competition in Navy 
acquisition, including appropriate use of ``build-to-print'' 
competitions where the Navy holds sufficient rights to the 
design of military equipment components to compete the 
production of them with multiple sources. The committee is 
aware of Navy efforts to use such competitions to dramatically 
reduce the time and cost of contracting for selected items. The 
committee encourages the Navy to expand these efforts if they 
can be pursued in a way that works collaboratively with 
industry on obtaining the necessary technical data rights and 
intellectual property through early negotiations.

             One Hundred Percent Employee-Owned Contractors

    The committee is interested in understanding the merits of 
100 percent employee-owned contractors and the potential 
benefits they bring to strengthening the defense industrial 
base. The committee seeks to further understand the benefits 
and cost implications of awarding contracts to employee-owned 
contractors for the Department of Defense; the retention rates 
of employee-owned contractors; and any other benefits of this 
type of contractor.
    The committee will work with the Comptroller General of the 
United States to further study these types of contractors.

                 Report on REE-Bearing Waste Recycling

    The committee continues to be concerned with our dependence 
on foreign sources for materials critical to our national 
defense. To help mitigate this supply chain risk, the FY 2017 
National Defense Authorization Act strongly encouraged the 
Department to recycle discarded items, such as spent 
fluorescent lamps, in order to extract, reclaim and reuse 
critical materials and rare earth elements contained in such 
waste. This section also provided the Department broad 
authority to recover, acquire, recycle and manage the disposal 
and recyclable strategic and critical materials containing REE 
from other federal agencies.
    The committee is aware of recent advances in domestic 
recycling technology, providing clean and efficient means for 
reclaiming rare earth elements from a variety of domestic waste 
streams. At current recycling levels of fluorescent lamps 
alone, recoverable quantities of target rare earth elements 
such as Yttrium, deemed by the Department to be critical to the 
national defense, can wholly offset the total amount of 
imported Yttrium originating in China on an annual basis, and 
sold at or below current market price.
    Where feasible, such waste streams should not be destroyed 
or landfilled, but managed in accordance with our national 
defense needs. The committee therefore directs the Secretary of 
Defense to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by February 1, 2019, on the Department's past and 
planned future use of new authorities granted to them to both 
recycle the Department's applicable REE-bearing waste, and 
recover and exploit the REE-bearing waste of other federal 
agencies.

                         LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS

     Subtitle A--Streamlining of Defense Acquisition Statutes and 
                              Regulations


        Section 800--Effective Dates; Coordination of Amendments

    This section would set the effective dates for the 
establishment of a new part V of subtitle A of title 10, United 
States Code, and the redesignation of the chapter and section 
numbers for title 10 subtitles B, C, and D in order to create 
numerical space for a new part V at the end of subtitle A. This 
restructuring would also enable additional growth and potential 
future reorganization of title 10 statutes in other subject 
areas outside of the acquisition code.
    The committee expects that this restructuring effort would 
be sustained. The second phase of reorganization would be 
enacted by follow-on legislation that would direct the more 
detailed chapter by chapter transfer into the final revised, 
rationalized structure of title 10 not later than February 1, 
2020.

Part I--Consolidation of Defense Acquisition Statutes in New Part V of 
               Subtitle A of Title 10, United States Code


          Section 801--Framework for New Part V of Subtitle A

    This section would establish the initial step in the first 
phase of a comprehensive reorganization and optimization of 
acquisition-related statutes in title 10, United States Code. 
The committee recognizes that the structure for acquisition-
related statutes in title 10 has become unwieldy and 
inadequate.
    This section would create a new part V at the end of 
subtitle A of title 10, thus logically organizing all 
acquisition-related statutes in one part in the Code. The 
committee expects that the actual shift of statutory language 
for the new part V would be established in a subsequent second 
phase of legislation, but not later than February 1, 2020.
    The committee notes that reorganizing defense acquisition 
statutes into a restructured, rationalized form would reflect 
more clearly the underlying organization of these statutes and 
provide a structure that is more intuitive and easier to 
navigate, as well as facilitate future growth within the Code's 
structure. In addition, the proposed reorganization would 
provide an opportunity to restore parallelism between the 
acquisition-related provisions of title 10 and the 
corresponding provisions of title 41, United States Code, that 
are applicable to procurement by non-defense agencies, which 
would benefit the entirety of the Federal contracting 
community.
    The committee expects that this restructuring effort will 
be sustained, and the second phase of reorganization will be 
enacted by follow-on legislation that will direct the more 
detailed chapter by chapter transfer into the final revised, 
rationalized structure of title 10 (to include the new part V 
of subtitle A) not later than February 1, 2020.

Part II--Redesignation of Sections and Chapters of Subtitles B, C, and 
             D To Provide Room for New Part V of Subtitle A


 Section 806--Redesignation of Sections and Chapters of Subtitle D of 
                Title 10, United States Code--Air Force

    This section would redesignate the chapter and section 
numbers for subtitle D of title 10, United States Code, in 
order to create numerical space for a new part V at the end of 
subtitle A. This restructuring would also enable additional 
growth and potential future reorganization of title 10 statutes 
in other subject areas outside of the acquisition code.
    The committee expects that this restructuring effort would 
be sustained. The second phase of reorganization would be 
enacted by follow-on legislation that would direct a more 
detailed chapter by chapter transfer into a final revised, 
rationalized structure of title 10 not later than February 1, 
2020.

 Section 807--Redesignation of Sections and Chapters of Subtitle C of 
          Title 10, United States Code--Navy and Marine Corps

    This section would redesignate the chapter and section 
numbers for subtitle C of title 10, United States Code, in 
order to create numerical space for a new part V at the end of 
subtitle A. This restructuring would also enable additional 
growth and potential future reorganization of title 10 statutes 
in other subject areas outside of the acquisition code.
    The committee expects that this restructuring effort would 
be sustained. The second phase of reorganization would be 
enacted by follow-on legislation that would direct a more 
detailed chapter by chapter transfer into a final revised, 
rationalized structure of title 10 not later than February 1, 
2020.

 Section 808--Redesignation of Sections and Chapters of Subtitle B of 
                   Title 10, United States Code--Army

    This section would redesignate the chapter and section 
numbers for subtitle B of title 10, United States Code, in 
order to create numerical space for a new part V at the end of 
subtitle A. This restructuring would also enable additional 
growth and potential future reorganization of title 10 statutes 
in other subject areas outside of the acquisition code.
    The committee expects that this restructuring effort would 
be sustained. The second phase of reorganization would be 
enacted by follow-on legislation that would direct a more 
detailed chapter by chapter transfer into a final revised, 
rationalized structure of title 10 not later than February 1, 
2020.

  Section 809--Cross References to Redesignated Sections and Chapters

    This section would establish the cross-references guidance 
for new redesignated sections and chapters of title 10, United 
States Code.
    The committee expects that this restructuring effort would 
be sustained. The second phase of reorganization would be 
enacted by follow-on legislation that would direct a more 
detailed chapter by chapter transfer into a final revised, 
rationalized structure of title 10 not later than February 1, 
2020.

   Part III--Repeals of Certain Provisions of Defense Acquisition Law


  Section 811--Amendment to and Repeal of Statutory Requirements for 
       Certain Positions or Offices in the Department of Defense

    This section would amend or repeal a number of statutory 
requirements for certain Department of Defense positions or 
offices established or required by law, and would establish a 
sunset for one statutory designation.
    The committee notes that these repeals do not constitute an 
assessment of the offices' or positions' respective missions or 
roles in the acquisition process, but rather are an effort to 
remove needlessly prescriptive and obsolete requirements from 
the United States Code. Codifying the existence and structure 
of certain offices may unnecessarily restrict the Secretary of 
Defense's ability to modify the Department's organizational 
structure to improve efficiency and effectiveness in a way that 
is consistent with the reforms to the organization of the 
Office of the Secretary of Defense as required by section 901 
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 
(Public Law 114-328). Repeal of these statutory requirements 
would not directly abolish the affected positions, but would 
allow the Secretary to restructure those positions should such 
action be warranted. Removing statutory mandates would enhance 
the Secretary's authority and ability to craft an agile 
acquisition organization.

        Section 812--Repeal of Certain Defense Acquisition Laws

    This section would repeal a number of outdated provisions 
of law related to defense acquisition, including sections of 
title 10, United States Code, and provisions that appear in the 
United States Code as legislative ``note'' sections under 
various provisions of title 10. These out-of-date provisions 
either required the Department of Defense to issue regulations, 
have now expired by their own terms, or are otherwise obsolete.
    The committee notes that, with respect to repeal of a 
statutory requirement for issuance of a regulation, it is not 
expressing a view on the merits of the policies covered by the 
regulation. Rather, in repealing the statutory requirement for 
a regulation, this section would allow the Secretary of Defense 
to revise the regulation as circumstances warrant. Repealing 
the statutory requirement would allow the Secretary to revise 
or rescind the regulation, but would not prescribe it. The 
decision to retain, or not retain, the regulation would remain 
with the Secretary.

    Section 813--Repeal of Certain Department of Defense Reporting 
                              Requirements

    This section would repeal certain Department of Defense 
recurring reporting requirements. The committee notes that 
excessive reporting requirements can impose costs on the 
Department of Defense that outweigh the intended benefits of 
each individual report, and can potentially impede the 
Department's ability to effectively direct resources to core 
objectives. In the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328), Congress initially 
directed a large group of recurring reporting requirements to 
sunset on December 31, 2021. This section continues to advance 
this streamlining effort.

Subtitle B--Amendments to General Contracting Authorities, Procedures, 
                            and Limitations


         Section 821--Contract Goal for the AbilityOne Program

    This section would amend section 2323a of title 10, United 
States Code, to create a contract goal for the AbilityOne 
program of 1.5 percent. This section would also require the 
Secretary of Defense to submit an annual report to the U.S. 
AbilityOne Commission on progress made toward achieving said 
contract goal.
    The committee intends to establish greater transparency for 
this program's execution.

     Section 822--Increased Micro-Purchase Threshold Applicable to 
                   Department of Defense Procurements

    This section would amend section 2338 of title 10, United 
States Code, by raising the micro-purchase threshold for the 
Department of Defense from $5,000 to $10,000.

        Section 823--Preference for Offerors Employing Veterans

    This section would amend chapter 137 of title 10, United 
States Code, by adding a new section that would authorize the 
head of an agency, in awarding a contract for the procurement 
of goods and services for the Department of Defense, to 
establish a preference for offerors that employ veterans on a 
full-time basis, with criteria for use of such preference 
determined by the Secretary of Defense. Prior to establishing 
such preference, the Secretary of Defense would be required to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services on 
the process for assessing and verifying offeror compliance with 
regulations relating to equal opportunity for veteran's 
requirements, and an implementation plan that includes 
penalties for an offeror that willfully and intentionally 
misrepresents the veteran status of employees.
    The committee notes the importance of ensuring and 
expanding economic opportunity for veterans, and the role of 
the Department in this endeavor. The committee further notes 
that the Department uses existing programs that maximize 
contracting opportunities for veteran-owned businesses and 
believes procurement policy should also encourage the 
employment of veterans through development of a preference that 
rewards the employment of veterans by companies. The committee 
also notes the importance of establishing effective compliance 
mechanisms as part of any such preference to ensure that the 
service of veterans is not abused as a result of willful 
misrepresentation of their status by offerors.

Section 824--Revision of Requirement to Submit Information on Services 
                         Contracts to Congress

    This section would amend section 2329(b) of title 10, 
United States Code, to change from October 1, 2022, to October 
1, 2020, the effective date for the Secretary of Defense's 
submission to Congress of information on services contracts 
that clearly and separately identifies the amount requested for 
each category of services to be procured for each Defense 
Agency, Department of Defense Field Activity, command, or 
military installation. This section would also add the 
requirement that such information should be included in the 
Future Years Defense Program submitted to Congress under 
section 221 of this title.
    The committee notes the Department of Defense's recent 
decision to proceed with an initiative to budget services 
acquisitions over the course of the full Future Years Defense 
Program and to develop an implementation plan that leverages 
existing tools that can be employed to improve planning for 
acquisition of services. The committee notes that the 
Department's approach harmonizes well with the committee's 
reform efforts enacted in the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) concerning 
enterprise data standardization and transparency. The committee 
further notes that the Department's decision obviates the need 
for, and expenditure on, the independent analysis on this 
matter performed by a federally funded research and development 
center or other organization that was included in the 
conference report (H. Rept. 115-404) accompanying the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by December 
1, 2018, on the development of this implementation plan and 
milestones leading to implementation of this initiative not 
later than October 1, 2020.

   Section 825--Data Collection and Inventory for Services Contracts

    This section would amend section 2330a of title 10, United 
States Code, by changing the dollar threshold for data to be 
collected on each purchase of services by a military department 
or Defense Agency from $3.0 million to the simplified 
acquisition threshold. This section would also remove the 
specification of the four service acquisition portfolio groups 
to be included in such data collection. This section would also 
change the activities contained in an annual inventory prepared 
by the Secretary of Defense from those pursuant to staff 
augmentation contracts, to those pursuant to services 
contracts, and replace references to the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics with the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment.

Section 826--Competition Requirements for Purchases from Federal Prison 
                               Industries

    This section would amend section 2410n of title 10, United 
States Code, by removing ``for which Federal Prison Industries 
does not have a significant market share''.
    This section would create a requirement for conducting 
market research before purchasing a product listed in the 
Federal Prison Industries (FPI) catalog. This section would 
require the Department of Defense to:
    (1) conduct market research to determine if the product is 
comparable to products in the private sector and meets the 
Department's needs (price, quality, or time of delivery) prior 
to purchasing a product from FPI.
    (2) use competitive procedures or purchase under a multiple 
award contract if the product is not comparable and does not 
meet the Department's needs.

Section 827--Requirement for a Fair and Reasonable Price for Technical 
     Data Before Development or Production of Major Weapon Systems

    This section would provide the Department of Defense with 
additional flexibility on negotiations for appropriate 
technical data.

 Section 828--Revisions in Authority Relating to Program Cost Targets 
      and Fielding Targets for Major Defense Acquisition Programs

    This section would amend sections 2448a, 2366a, and 2366b 
of title 10, United States Code, to allow the Secretaries of 
the military departments, or, in instances where an alternate 
milestone decision authority for a program has been designated 
under section 2430(d)(2) of title 10, United States Code, the 
Secretary of Defense, to establish program cost, fielding, and 
performance goals in planning major defense acquisition 
programs. This section would also allow for the delegation of 
these responsibilities beyond the Deputy Secretary of Defense.
    The committee notes that while section 825 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-
92) amended section 2430 of title 10, United States Code, by 
changing the designation of the milestone decision authority 
for major defense acquisition programs to be, with some 
exceptions, the service acquisition executive of the military 
department that is managing the program, this change has not 
been reflected elsewhere in this title. As a result, certain 
statutory responsibilities remain with the Secretary of Defense 
when they should more appropriately be performed by the 
Secretaries of the military departments. This section addresses 
this discrepancy as it pertains to establishing program cost, 
fielding, and performance goals in planning major defense 
acquisition programs, as well as associated reporting to 
Congress that coincides with the granting of Milestone A and 
Milestone B approval.

Section 829--Revision of Timeline for Use of the Rapid Fielding Pathway 
                        for Acquisition Programs

    This section would amend section 804(b)(2) of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-
92) to change part of the objective of an acquisition program 
under the rapid fielding pathway from completing fielding 
within 5 years, to completing low-rate initial production 
within 5 years.
    The committee notes that requiring completion of fielding 
within 5 years may unnecessarily limit the applicability of 
this pathway for incremental upgrade programs.

     Section 830--Clarification of Services Contracting Definitions

    This section would direct the Secretary of Defense, not 
later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this 
Act, to revise the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation 
Supplement to clarify the definitions of and relationships 
between terms related to services contracts, including the 
appropriate use of personal and nonpersonal services contracts, 
and the responsibilities of individuals in the acquisition 
workforce with respect to such contracts.
    The committee notes that definitions for terms related to 
contracted services are found in statute, regulation, and 
elsewhere in the Department of Defense's contracted services 
lexicon. The committee expects the Department to clearly 
delineate in one place the definitions of and relationships 
between terms related to contracted services, including 
associated supervisory responsibilities.

          Subtitle C--Provisions Relating to Commercial Items


Section 831--Revision of Definition of Commercial Item for Purposes of 
                      Federal Acquisition Statutes

    This section would clarify the definition of commercial 
items. Specifically, it would clarify commercial items as 
commercial products or commercial services.
    The committee notes the current definition of commercial 
items throughout the United States Code is inconsistent, with 
40 disparate definitions of commercial items. Additionally, 
commercial item definitions do not appropriately take into 
account the differences between products and services. The 
separation of the definition of commercial items into 
commercial products and commercial services would simplify and 
streamline procurement. Consistency in application of 
definitions would assist the acquisition workforce as well as 
businesses seeking to participate in the defense sector.

                 Section 832--Definition of Subcontract

    This section would create a precise definition for 
``subcontract'' in title 41, United States Code, and 
incorporates this revised definition in title 10, United States 
Code.
    The committee notes there are multiple definitions of 
subcontract and establishing a single definition for a 
subcontract would provide clarification, simplicity, and 
consistency for defense procurement actions.

   Section 833--Limitation on Applicability to Department of Defense 
Commercial Contracts of Certain Provisions of Law and Certain Executive 
                         Orders and Regulations

    This section would update section 2375, section 2533a, and 
section 2533b of title 10, United States Code, with the 
clarified definition of commercial products and commercial 
services. This section would also establish a new section 2375a 
to limit applicability of certain Executive orders and 
regulations.
    The committee expects that these revisions would remove 
current obstacles from commercial transactions between the 
Department of Defense and commercial suppliers, and improve 
access to the best commercial goods and services.

Section 834--Modifications to Procurement Through Commercial E-Commerce 
                                Portals

    This section would amend section 846 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-
91) to allow the Administrator of the General Services 
Administration to develop procedures for procurement through a 
commercial e-commerce portal. The procedures must satisfy the 
requirements for competitive procedures outlined in title 41, 
United States Code. Additionally, this section would require 
these procedures to be submitted to the congressional defense 
committees 30 days prior to implementation.
    This section would also amend titles 10 and 41, United 
States Code, by increasing the micro-purchase threshold for 
procurement through a commercial e-commerce portal from $10,000 
to $25,000.
    The committee notes that Public Law 115-91 authorized the 
Office of Management and Budget to develop a program managed by 
the General Services Administration to procure commercial 
products through e-commerce portals. The committee expects the 
commercial e-commerce portals would simplify and streamline the 
defense acquisition process as well as provide better 
transparency.

                  Subtitle D--Industrial Base Matters


 Section 841--Requirement That Certain Ship Components Be Manufactured 
             in the National Technology and Industrial Base

    This section would amend section 2534 of title 10, United 
States Code, and would require certain auxiliary ship 
components to be procured from a manufacturer in the national 
technology and industrial base.

Section 842--Report on Domestic Sourcing of Specific Components for All 
                             Naval Vessels

    This section would require the Secretary of the Navy to 
submit a report to the congressional defense committees by 
March 1, 2019, that provides a market survey and cost 
assessment associated with limiting competition to domestic 
sources for certain naval components.

 Section 843--Removal of National Interest Determination Requirements 
                          for Certain Entities

    This section would streamline the National Industrial 
Security Program by removing the regulatory requirements 
relating to National Interest Determinations (NIDs). It would 
build on section 1712 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), which required a 
review of whether certain companies ``should be exempted from 
one or more of the foreign ownership, control, or influence 
[FOCI] requirements of the National Industrial Security 
Program.'' This section would address NIDs as a particularly 
urgent problem within that set of FOCI requirements authorized 
for exemption. It would also authorize the Secretary of Defense 
to accelerate implementation of this policy for contracting 
entities that have already demonstrated a longstanding 
commitment to industrial security and have previously been 
approved for access to proscribed information.
    The committee is concerned that, especially with regard to 
entities from allied countries (United States, the United 
Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the Commonwealth 
of Australia, and Canada) that comprise the national technology 
and industrial base (NTIB), the NID process creates substantial 
burdens without meaningfully enhancing the government's 
national security interests. It also causes the misallocation 
of scarce industrial security oversight resources. Under 
current practice, but not pursuant to any statutory mandate, 
NIDs are required for entities operating under a ``special 
security agreement'' (SSA) to access proscribed categories of 
classified information. The committee is aware that certain 
agencies can take between 6 and 10 months to process NID 
requests, even for SSA-mitigated companies from NTIB countries 
that have a longstanding history of industrial security 
performance in the United States and are critical players in 
our nation's defense industrial base. These delays and 
associated burdens have restricted competition and innovation 
by excluding qualified and responsible U.S.-based companies 
that operate under SSAs.

   Section 844--Pilot Program To Test Machine-Vision Technologies To 
  Determine the Authenticity and Security of Microelectronic Parts in 
                             Weapon Systems

    This section would require the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Research and Engineering, in coordination with the Defense 
Microelectronics Activity, to establish a pilot program to test 
the feasibility and reliability of using machine-vision 
technologies to determine the authenticity and security of 
microelectronics parts in weapon systems.
    The committee supports the Department of Defense's 
comprehensive counterfeit material prevention strategy, which 
is a risk-based approach that includes collaboration with 
industry to reduce counterfeit parts in the supply chain. The 
committee notes that since it first highlighted this issue in 
2012, the Department has made significant improvements and 
standardized the processes for assuring acquisition of 
authentic and conforming material. However, remaining ahead of 
emerging security threats in this area remains a challenge.
    The committee believes that utilization of innovative 
software applications may provide opportunities to cost-
effectively add capabilities and improve operations by 
addressing gaps from third-party providers, including receiving 
and inspection requirements for non-franchised parts.
    Specifically, the committee is aware of new technologies 
based on personalization and anti-counterfeiting software that, 
combined with optical and digital authentication methods, are 
effectively being used to meet high-security inventory demands 
in commercial industry. Such technologies include machine-
vision technologies that have the ability to identify and 
authenticate objects without adding additional hardware to the 
object such as radio frequency identification chips, bar codes, 
quick response codes, or serial numbers. These technologies 
provide identification of counterfeit goods by using 
authentication methods that are strongly resistant to 
replication and tampering; can be applied to a variety of 
substrates such as plastic and metal; can be encoded and/or 
embedded onto substrates; and can be easily authenticated 
optically and digitally using decoder devices and applications 
on mobile devices. The committee understands that such 
technologies may provide data analytics capability as well. As 
a result, the committee believes a pilot program of the 
appropriate scope is the best way for the Department to 
evaluate and understand the potential of this new technology.

                   Subtitle E--Small Business Matters


       Section 851--Department of Defense Small Business Strategy

    This section would require the Department of Defense to 
develop and implement a small business strategy to better 
leverage small businesses as a means to enhance or support 
mission execution. This section specifies that such a strategy 
should include plans to integrate small businesses into a 
holistic view of industry; to realign the Department's small 
business programs with agency mission under a unified 
management structure; and to clarify points of entry into the 
defense market.
    The committee expects that this unified strategy would 
create expanded small business engagement in the defense sector 
by increasing entry points for non-traditional and innovative 
companies.

       Section 852--Prompt Payments of Small Business Contractors

    This section would direct Federal agencies to establish a 
prompt payment goal of 15 days for small business prime 
contractors. It would also extend the accelerated payment 
objective to other-than small prime contractors that 
subcontract with small businesses, and encourage these prime 
contractors to also accelerate payments to their small business 
subcontractors.

      Section 853--Increased Participation in the Small Business 
                    Administration Microloan Program

    This section would amend section 636(m)(3)(C) of title 15, 
United States Code, by increasing the total limit on 
outstanding loans from $5.0 million to $6.0 million.
    This section would also amend section 636(m)(4)(E), which 
establishes the ``25/75 Rule.'' Currently, the 25/75 Rule 
prohibits a microloan intermediary from using more than 25 
percent of the technical assistance grants they receive from 
the Small Business Administration (SBA) to provide pre-loan 
assistance to small business borrowers and third-party 
contracts. This section would amend the ratio from 25/75 to 50/
50.
    This section would also require the Administrator of SBA to 
submit a report to the Committee on Small Business of the House 
of Representatives and the Committee on Small Business and 
Entrepreneurship of the Senate, not later than 1 year after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, on why the program often has 
low participation rates among microlenders. The report shall 
gather a representative sample of eligible entities that 
participate in the program and those that do not, along with 
the reasons why entities do not partake, and offer 
recommendations on modifications that would increase 
participation.
    Finally, this section would require the Comptroller General 
of the United States to submit a report to the Committee on 
Small Business of the House of Representatives and the 
Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship of the Senate, 
not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this 
Act, evaluating SBA oversight of the microloan program and the 
specific processes SBA uses to ensure compliance and track 
performance.

 Section 854--Amendments to Small Business Innovation Research Program 
             and Small Business Technology Transfer Program

    This section would authorize the use of Small Business 
Innovation Research or Small Business Technology Transfer 
program funding for administrative costs and expand phase 
flexibility during fiscal years 2018 through 2022.

           Section 855--Construction Contract Administration

    This section would amend section 644 of title 15, United 
States Code, to require Federal agencies to provide prospective 
construction contractors with information about an agency's 
policies and performance on the administration of change 
orders.

 Section 856--Broadband and Emerging Information Technology Coordinator

    This section would direct the Associate Administrator for 
the Office of Investment and Innovation of the Small Business 
Administration to designate a senior employee as the 
``Broadband and Emerging Information Technology Coordinator.'' 
The Coordinator would be responsible for connecting small 
businesses with financing programs, and advising these 
businesses on how to acquire broadband and new information 
technology.
    This section would also direct a biennial report on 
activities beginning 2 years after the first designation of a 
Coordinator to the Committee on Small Business and 
Entrepreneurship of the Senate and the Committee on Small 
Business of the House of Representatives.

  Section 857--Amendments to the Small Business Investment Act of 1958

    This section would amend the Small Business Investment Act 
of 1958 (15 U.S.C. 682(b)) by increasing the Individual 
Leverage Limit from $150.0 million to $175.0 million and by 
increasing the total amount of capital and surplus that a 
financial institution and Federal savings association can 
invest in a small business investment company from 5 percent to 
15 percent.

 Section 858--Consolidated Budget Justification for the Department of 
 Defense Small Business Innovation Research Program and Small Business 
                      Technology Transfer Program

    This section would direct the Secretary of Defense to 
submit to Congress a budget justification for all activities 
conducted under the Small Business Innovation Research Program 
or Small Business Technology Transfer Program during the 
previous fiscal year.

   Section 859--Funding for Procurement Technical Assistance Program

    This section would amend section 2413(b) of title 10, 
United States Code, to provide Procurement Technical Assistance 
Centers (PTACs) the resources necessary to conduct greater 
outreach and provide expanded support to small businesses. 
Division D of this Act would increase the topline budget for 
the Procurement Technical Assistance Program to $50.0 million.
    This section would increase the funding caps for PTACs 
operating on statewide, less than statewide, and eligible 
tribal locations. This section would also adjust the percentage 
of Federal funding for PTACs to 75 percent from 65 percent, and 
would adjust the community contribution to 25 percent from 35 
percent.

Section 860--Exemption of Certain Contracts From the Periodic Inflation 
        Adjustments to the Acquisition-Related Dollar Threshold

    This section would amend subparagraph (B) of section 
1908(b)(2) of title 41, United States Code, to exempt certain 
contracts from the periodic inflation adjustments to the 
acquisition-related dollar threshold.

                       Subtitle F--Other Matters


Section 871--Additional Requirements for Negotiations for Noncommercial 
                           Computer Software

    This section would amend section 2322a of title 10, United 
States Code, and codify existing Defense Federal Acquisition 
Regulations on noncommercial software rights as well as 
mandate, to the maximum extent practicable, that specially 
negotiated licenses be used for weapon systems noncommercial 
software.

 Section 872--Removal of Requirement for Risk and Sensitivity Analysis 
         of Baseline Estimates in Selected Acquisition Reports

    This section would amend section 2432(c)(1)(B) of title 10, 
United States Code, by removing the requirement for risk and 
sensitivity analysis to be included with baseline estimates in 
selected acquisition reports.
    The committee notes that risk and sensitivity analyses help 
in understanding the effects of changing variables on cost 
estimates. However, this language has been interpreted as 
requiring analysis of the sensitivity of the information in 
selected acquisition reports, resulting in unwarranted barriers 
to dissemination.

  Section 873--Prohibition on Acquisition of Sensitive Materials From 
                       Non-Allied Foreign Nations

    This section would amend section 2533b of title 10, United 
States Code, by prohibiting acquisition of certain sensitive 
materials from non-allied foreign nations.

   Section 874--Transfer or Possession of Defense Items for National 
                            Defense Purposes

    This section would amend sections 922 and 925 of title 18, 
United States Code, to allow joint production, integration, and 
calibration of military-grade hardware by licensed contractors, 
transfers of defense items to government customers, and export 
of authorized weapons to foreign governments.

Section 875--Expedited Hiring Authority for Shortage Category Positions 
                      in the Acquisition Workforce

    This section would expand and extend direct-hire authority 
for acquisition professionals, which permits an agency to 
appoint candidates to positions for which there is either a 
severe shortage of candidates or a critical hiring need. 
Section 1413 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2004 (Public Law 108-136) authorized agency heads 
to determine, under regulations prescribed by the Office of 
Personnel Management (OPM), that certain Federal acquisition 
positions are shortage category positions in order to use 
direct-hire authorities. This section would extend the 
expiration date on those direct-hire authorities from September 
30, 2017, to September 30, 2021. Additionally, this section 
would add the General Schedule Realty series (GS-1170) to the 
description of acquisition workforce found in section 1703 of 
title 41, United States Code, thereby including GS-1170 
positions under the direct-hire authority extension established 
in this section.
    The committee notes that the government depends on skilled 
acquisition and program personnel to understand complex market 
dynamics, develop clear requirements, negotiate in the best 
interest of the taxpayer, and hold contractors to high 
performance standards. The expediency that direct-hire 
authority allows can be helpful to an agency both in meeting 
critical initiatives that may require particular expertise, 
such as to support information technology modernization, 
cybersecurity efforts, and real property acquisition and 
disposal, as well as supporting the Federal Government as it 
plans and executes on its agency and regulatory reform 
activities.

 Section 876--Extension of Prohibition on Providing Funds to the Enemy

    This section would amend section 841(n) of the Carl Levin 
and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) to change from 
December 31, 2019, to December 31, 2021, the sunset date for 
the provisions of the prohibition on providing funds to the 
enemy.

 Section 877--Repeal of Certain Determinations Required for Grants of 
   Exceptions to Cost or Pricing Data Certification Requirements and 
                  Waivers of Cost Accounting Standards

    This section would repeal section 817(b)(1) of the Bob 
Stump National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 
(Public Law 107-314) regarding certain determinations required 
for grants of exceptions to cost or pricing data certification 
requirements and waivers of cost accounting standards.
    The committee notes that section 817(b) of Public Law 107-
314 provides that a grant of an exception or waiver is 
appropriate only upon a determination that the property or 
services cannot reasonably be obtained under the contract, 
subcontract, or modification, as the case may be, without the 
grant of the exception or waiver, in addition to two other 
determinations. The committee believes that this requirement 
could unnecessarily limit the granting of exceptions or waivers 
in those instances in which, while cost and pricing data could 
be obtained, it would add little value and delay contract 
negotiations. For example, on a long-running production 
program, determination of a fair and reasonable price may be 
both possible and more efficiently performed without submission 
of certified cost and pricing data, and therefore meet two of 
the three conditions for grant of an exception or waiver. 
However, because the contractor is willing and able to provide 
such data, the condition at section 817(b)(1) would not be met 
and the exception or waiver could not be granted.
    The committee believes that increasing the flexibility with 
which exceptions or waivers can be granted will help streamline 
the acquisition process. The committee expects the Secretary of 
Defense to promptly revise the Defense Federal Acquisition 
Regulation Supplement to reflect this repeal.

Section 878--Reporting on Projects Performed through Transactions Other 
           Than Contracts, Cooperative Agreements, and Grants

    This section would direct the Secretary of Defense to 
submit to the congressional defense committees, not later than 
December 31 of each year through 2021, a report on the 
Department of Defense's use of transactions other than 
contracts, cooperative agreements, and grants, known as other 
transaction authority, to perform projects. The report would 
include, for transactions that provide for payments in a total 
amount in excess of $5.0 million, information including the 
entities entering into the transaction, the amount of payment 
provided for, project goals and status, and key dates. The 
report would also address mechanisms established to regulate 
use of this authority, including policies, guidance, and 
reporting requirements.
    The committee remains committed to providing the Department 
of Defense the needed flexibility to acquire advanced 
capabilities through streamlined and expedited processes. The 
committee recognizes that other transaction authority has been 
an effective tool for research and development, particularly 
for execution of science, technology, and prototyping programs. 
It provides needed flexibility in terms of adherence to select 
Federal acquisition regulations. While the benefits of this 
flexibility are clear, the committee believes that it is still 
necessary to exercise effective oversight both to understand 
the ways in which the Department is properly leveraging the use 
of this authority and to prevent its abuse or misuse. The 
committee does not intend for this reporting requirement to 
cause the Department to seek additional approval for use of 
other transaction authority, beyond the congressional 
notification requirement already established in statute. 
Rather, it is designed to facilitate regular and consistent 
updates on use of this authority across the Department in order 
to facilitate proper assessment of effectiveness and success. 
The $5.0 million threshold for reporting is consistent with the 
amount established in statute for inclusion of a clause that 
provides for the Comptroller General of the United States to 
examine the records of any party to an agreement entered into 
using other transaction authority.

Section 879--Standardization of Formatting and Public Accessibility of 
               Department of Defense Reports to Congress

    This section would direct the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing not later than March 1, 2019, to the House 
Committee on Armed Services on a plan for implementing, not 
later than March 1, 2020, standardization of the formatting and 
public accessibility of unclassified Department of Defense 
reports required by Congress. The briefing shall address how 
the Department plans to ensure that reports are created in an 
open format that can be retrieved, downloaded, indexed, and 
searched by commonly used web search applications. An open 
format is one that is platform independent, machine readable, 
and made available to the public without restrictions that 
would impede reuse of that information. The briefing shall also 
address how the Department plans to provide a publicly 
accessible online repository of its unclassified reports to 
Congress required by provisions of law, including protocols for 
inclusion of reports which, although unclassified, may not be 
appropriate for public release in their entirety. The briefing 
shall address how the Department plans to include in the 
repository unclassified reports to Congress required by 
provisions of law issued since January 1, 2010.

     Section 880--Defending United States Government Communications

    This section would provide that, not later than January 1, 
2021, no government agency may procure or obtain, nor extend or 
renew a contract to procure or obtain, nor enter into a 
contract with an entity that uses covered telecommunications 
equipment or services with any covered entity. This section 
would define covered telecommunications equipment or services 
as that:
    (1) produced by Huawei Technologies Company or ZTE 
Corporation (or any subsidiary or affiliate of either company);
    (2) telecommunications services provided by an entity using 
such equipment; or
    (3) telecommunications equipment or services produced or 
provided by an entity that the head of an agency believes to be 
owned or controlled by, or otherwise connected to, the 
Government of the People's Republic of China.
    This section would require the head of an agency to submit 
to the specified committees a plan to phase in the prohibition 
in this section, including with respect to the ``white label'' 
problem.
    This section would also permit the head of an agency to 
provide an additional 2-year waiver if he determines it is 
appropriate to allow an entity to terminate its use of covered 
telecommunications equipment and he can demonstrate certain 
other conditions have been met. Additionally, the head of an 
agency would be permitted, subject to the receipt of a written 
assurance concerning any future use of Huawei or ZTE 
Corporation components, to permit an entity to continue to use 
components through the end of their reasonable life-cycle, if 
the component cannot be used to route or direct data traffic or 
provide visibility into any data or packets transmitted or 
manipulated by such components.
    This section would further require the Director of National 
Intelligence (DNI), in coordination with the Director of the 
Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Secretaries of State, 
Homeland Security and Defense, to produce a report on the 
national security risks posed by use of technology produced by 
Huawei and ZTE technology, especially pertaining to evidence of 
malicious software or hardware that enables unauthorized 
network access. The DNI would further be required to develop a 
plan to share such report with U.S. allies, partners, and U.S. 
cleared defense contractors and telecommunications service 
providers. The Director would also be required to ensure an 
unclassified version of the report is available for U.S. allies 
and partners, and well as telecommunications companies, that do 
not have access to classified information.
    In an April 12, 2018, House Committee on Armed Services 
hearing, the Secretary of Defense stated with respect to 
information and communications technology produced by companies 
linked to the People's Republic of China, namely Huawei and 
ZTE, that he does ``not think that's wise'' for the Department 
to allow equipment manufactured and maintained by those 
companies to be a part of its supply chain.
    The committee is also aware that the Federal Communications 
Commission in an April 17, 2018, meeting voted unanimously to 
approve a proposed rule that would deny Universal Service Fund 
support to purchase equipment or services from companies posing 
a national security threat to the integrity of communications 
networks or the communications supply chain. The commission 
specifically cited the risks posed by Huawei and ZTE in the 
notice of proposed rulemaking.

      TITLE IX--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT

                         LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS


 Subtitle A--Organization and Management of the Department of Defense 
                               Generally


Section 901--Authority of Secretary of Defense to Determine Command and 
                         Control Relationships

    This section would amend section 113 of title 10, United 
States Code, to specify that the Secretary of Defense may 
define command and control relationships within the Department 
of Defense as necessary to support the Department's objectives 
and missions.

               Section 902--Civilian Personnel Management

    This section would amend section 129 of title 10, United 
States Code, to require the Secretary of Defense to consider 
the cost of the Department of Defense military and contract 
workforces, along with the cost of the civilian workforce, when 
managing the civilian personnel workforce of the Department.

  Section 903--Performance of Civilian Functions by Military Personnel

    This section would amend section 129a of title 10, United 
States Code, to require that when the Secretaries of the 
military departments determine that the performance of civilian 
functions by military personnel is cost effective, that they 
further consider whether the functions performed are consistent 
with the military occupational specialty for which the military 
personnel have been trained.

 Section 904--Roles of Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and Under 
                 Secretary of Defense for Intelligence

    This section would amend section 134 of title 10, United 
States Code, with respect to the authorities of the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Policy. It would amend the Under 
Secretary's responsibility for supervising and directing the 
activities of the Department with respect to export controls, 
to focus on policy making within the Department as it pertains 
to export controls.
    This section would add a new authority to those of the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, subject to the Secretary 
of Defense, with respect to the development, implementation, 
and integration across the Department of Defense of the 
National Defense Strategy and other strategic policy guidance 
for the activities of the Department across all geographic 
regions and military functions and domains. It would also 
provide the Under Secretary with the authority, subject to the 
Secretary of Defense, of integrating the activities of the 
Department of Defense within the interagency process with 
respect to the National Security Strategy of the United States.
    The committee notes that the Summary to the 2018 National 
Defense Strategy stated that ``the central challenge to U.S. 
prosperity and security is the reemergence of long-term 
strategic competition by what the National Security Strategy 
classifies as revisionist powers.'' The committee asserts that 
it is essential that a senior civilian official be responsible 
for, subject to the Secretary of Defense, the Department's 
efforts with respect to strategic competition.
    This section would also amend section 137 of title 10, 
United States Code, with respect to the authorities of the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence. The Under 
Secretary of Defense for Intelligence would assume the 
authority for supervising and directing the activities of the 
Department of Defense with respect to technology protection in 
the export controls process, other than the policy making 
activities that are the responsibility of the Under Secretary 
of Defense for Policy.
    Numerous senior Department of Defense civilian and military 
officials have testified to the risk to U.S. military 
technological superiority and the committee believes that the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and the Under Secretary 
of Defense for Intelligence, respectively, have specific roles 
in, and expertise with, protecting sensitive technologies.

              Section 905--Designation of Navy Commanders

    This section would amend section 5013 of title 10, United 
States Code, to require the Secretary of the Navy to designate 
a single commander within the Department of the Navy 
responsible for ensuring Navy forces are available for tasking 
and deployment, including those Navy forces that may be 
operating from a forward deployed location. This section would 
also require the Secretary to designate a single commander for 
all Navy shipyards, including any located overseas.
    The committee notes that the Secretary of the Navy's 
Strategic Readiness Review cited unclear command relationships 
as a contributing factor to the surface force accidents 
suffered by 7th Fleet ships in 2017. The committee encourages 
the Secretary to consider designating the Commander, Fleet 
Forces Command, as the responsible commander for tasking and 
deployment, as that official performs that function now for all 
naval forces excepting the Pacific Fleet.
    The committee notes that the Commander, Naval Sea Systems 
Command, has the overall responsibility within the Department 
of the Navy for scheduling and maintaining Navy vessels in 
public and private shipyards, with the exception of the U.S. 
Naval Ship Repair Facility and Japan Regional Maintenance 
Center. The committee encourages the Secretary to consider 
designating the Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command, as the 
single commander of naval shipyards, including the facility 
located in Japan.

  Subtitle B--Comprehensive Pentagon Bureaucracy Reform and Reduction


 Section 911--Authorities and Responsibilities of the Chief Management 
                  Officer of the Department of Defense

    This section would authorize the Chief Management Officer 
(CMO) of the Department of Defense to carry out the elimination 
of agencies and activities (other than those established by 
statute and other than the Department of Defense Education 
Activity), and to maximize efficiency across the Department 
with respect to civilian resource management, logistics, 
services contracting, and real estate management (other than 
with respect to the military departments). Section 132a of 
title 10, United States Code, would be further amended by 
requiring each Defense Agency and Department of Defense Field 
Activity to transmit their budgets to the CMO for review before 
submission to the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller). The 
CMO would submit a report concerning all proposed budgets to 
the Secretary of Defense not later than January 31 of the year 
preceding the budgets' fiscal year. The Secretary would submit 
a report by March 31 with a plan of action and proposed 
legislation for each budget the CMO did not certify. No Defense 
Agency or Department of Defense Field Activity funds, with 
respect to civilian resource, logistics, services contracting, 
and real estate management shall be obligated or expended until 
the CMO approves the plan; such process shall be conducted 
without impact to the processes carried out by the Director of 
National Intelligence.
    The Department's Chief Management Officer would reduce or 
eliminate duplicative cross-enterprise functions across all 
Defense Agencies and Field Activities related to civilian 
resource, services contracting, logistics, or real estate 
management. Not later than March 1, 2020, the CMO would submit 
a plan to the congressional defense committees. The CMO would 
certify that the Department has achieved at least 25 percent 
savings of these functions within these Defense Agencies and 
Field Activities by January 1, 2021; the Government 
Accountability Office would verify and validate the CMO's 
certification. This would be a recurring requirement, each 5 
years (beginning January 1, 2021), with the second iteration 
expanding the scope of the review to include the military 
departments.

Section 912--Authorities and Responsibilities of the Inspector General 
                      of the Department of Defense

    This section would require the Department of Defense 
Inspector General (IG) to maximize efficiency among Department 
IGs with respect to any cross-enterprise IG activities. This 
section would require each organization or element IG to submit 
a budget to the Department of Defense IG for review before 
submission to the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller). The 
Department IG would submit a report about the budgets to the 
Secretary not later than January 31 of the year preceding the 
budget's fiscal year. The Secretary would submit a report to 
Congress about budgets the Department IG did not certify by 
March 31 each year, including a plan of action and recommended 
legislation. No IG funds may be obligated or expended until the 
Department IG certifies the IG's budget. The Department IG 
would submit a plan for compliance with the above not later 
than March 1, 2020.
    The committee understands there are almost 30 different 
inspectors general (IGs) in the Department of Defense, 
including: the Department of Defense IG, the four military 
service IGs, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan 
Reconstruction, the nine combatant commands, the Defense Media 
Activity, the Defense Contract Audit Agency, the Defense 
Contract Management Agency, Defense Information Systems Agency, 
Defense Logistics Agency, Defense Security Service, and Defense 
Threat Reduction Agency. The committee believes this 
proliferation of IG offices merits oversight from a lead IG to 
determine if there are opportunities for elimination of waste, 
redundancy, and duplication.

 Section 913--Transition of Certain Defense Agencies and Department of 
                        Defense Field Activities

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense, acting 
through the Chief Management Officer (CMO), to submit a plan to 
the congressional defense committees not later than March 1, 
2020, concerning the transfer and migration of all Defense 
Information Systems Agency information technology contracting 
and acquisition services, and senior leader communications 
functions, to other Department elements.
    This section would require the CMO to eliminate the 
Washington Headquarters Service not later than January 1, 2021. 
The CMO would transfer any essential functions to other 
appropriate elements of the Office of the Secretary of Defense 
(OSD) and eliminate the others. The CMO would be required to 
submit a plan to the congressional defense committees to 
accomplish the above by March 1, 2020.
    This section would also require the CMO to review the 
efficiency and effectiveness of each Defense Agency and 
Department of Defense Field Activity and to examine potential 
duplication among the agencies and activities. The CMO would be 
required to submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees on his findings not later than March 1, 2020, 
including any recommendations to eliminate an agency or 
activity or transfer some or all of its functions to another 
Department entity.
    This section would also clarify the Secretary's authority 
to establish or terminate any Defense Agency or Department of 
Defense Field Activity, other than entities that are 
specifically established or terminated by act of Congress.

Section 914--Actions To Increase the Efficiency and Transparency of the 
                        Defense Logistics Agency

    This section would require that the Director of the Defense 
Logistics Agency (DLA) and the Chief Management Officer (CMO) 
jointly implement a comprehensive system not later than January 
1, 2021, that enables customers to view items and materials 
available to customers, the delivery status of items and 
materials in transit, and predictive analytics designed to 
improve the system's efficiency.
    This section would also require the Director of DLA and the 
CMO to jointly reduce charged rates by at least 10 percent, 
eliminate duplication of services, and establish specific goals 
and metrics to ensure the agency is fulfilling its mission by 
January 1, 2021.
    This section would also require the Director of DLA and the 
CMO to jointly submit a plan to accomplish the above to the 
congressional defense committees by March 1, 2020.

 Section 915--Review of Functions of Defense Contract Audit Agency and 
                   Defense Contract Management Agency

    This section would direct the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Acquisition and Sustainment and the Under Secretary of 
Defense (Comptroller) to conduct a joint review of the Defense 
Contract Auditing Agency and Defense Contract Management Agency 
to validate their missions and functions and determine if any 
of their functions could be more appropriately performed by the 
other Agency, any other organization within the Department of 
Defense, or commercial providers. This review would also 
validate the continued need for two separate Agencies with 
oversight for defense contracting. The Secretary of Defense 
shall submit, not later than March 1, 2020, a report to the 
congressional defense committees that includes the results of 
this review.

  Section 916--Streamlining of Defense Finance and Accounting Services

    This section would require that, not later than January 1, 
2021, the Chief Management Officer (CMO) and the Under 
Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) shall jointly carry out 
activities to make the Defense Finance and Accounting Services 
more efficient and effective.
    This section would further require that, not later than 
March 1, 2020, the CMO and Comptroller shall jointly submit a 
plan for carrying out such activities to the congressional 
defense committees.

 Section 917--Reduction in Number of Chief Information Officers in the 
                        Senior Executive Service

    This section would require that, starting in calendar year 
2021, there may not be more than five ``Chief Information 
Officers''' in the Department of Defense.
    The committee understands that there are at least 60 Senior 
Executive Service grade positions in the Department of Defense 
with the position of ``Chief Information Officer''.
    The committee is concerned that this number of senior 
personnel with this same responsibility injects duplication, 
redundancy, and slows the Department's ability to swiftly react 
to the requirements of the Department in terms of information 
technology and responding to the cyber domain of warfare.

                    Section 918--General Provisions

         Colombian Security and the U.S.-Colombian Partnership

    The peace accords between the Government of Colombia and 
the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) in August 
2016 was a landmark event that ended over 50 years of armed 
conflict in Colombia. As a result of the agreement, the 
Colombian legislature passed, and the Government of Colombia 
implemented, several portions of the peace accords, which 
included demobilization and reintegration processes for FARC 
members. The committee is encouraged by the progress of the 
Colombian people and its Government in implementing the peace 
accord legislation.
    Colombian leadership has made great strides in bringing 
stability to the country, developing integration pathways for 
the FARC political party, disarming over 11,000 FARC members, 
implementing rural development, establishing rule of law, and 
reintegrating FARC members into society. The committee notes 
that complete implementation of other pieces of the peace 
accords, including land reform and combating FARC dissidents 
who have chosen not to disarm, will likely take decades.
    The committee commends the Government of Colombia for its 
continued leadership in working to end decades of violence and 
instability with the FARC and other armed groups in Colombia. 
The committee is also aware that security issues remain a 
problem in Colombia, including transnational criminal 
organizations seizing territorial control post peace accords, 
FARC dissidents choosing not to disarm and continuing criminal 
behavior, and increasing coca production over the past 2 years.
    Further, the committee commends the Colombian military on 
its professionalization, successes in bringing security to 
Colombia and being the exporters of security to global 
organizations such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, 
and regional neighbors including the Republic of Honduras, the 
Republic of Guatemala, and the United Mexican States.
    Over the past 17 years, the U.S. has assisted Colombia in 
the fight for its security and stability. The committee has 
supported these efforts and acknowledges the continuing vital 
importance of the U.S.-Colombian relationship for bringing 
strength and stability to the hemisphere.

              DOD Support to Combating the Opioid Epidemic

    The committee is deeply concerned about the rising numbers 
of opioid-related deaths in the United States. This nationwide 
health epidemic affects millions of people and their families. 
The abuse of opioids, both prescription and illicit opioids, is 
a public health emergency as categorized by the President in 
January 2018. This crisis highlights national security concerns 
including illicit trafficking of opioids, synthetic opioids, to 
include Fentanyl, and precursors for the production of opioids 
by transnational criminal organizations (TCOs), and their 
networks which have supply chains that extend into south and 
east Asia. The committee believes that the Department of 
Defense can play a vital role in support of lead U.S. agencies 
to address this crisis.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
no later than September 30, 2018, to submit a report to the 
House Committee on Armed Services with an assessment of the 
assistance the Department is providing to lead U.S. government 
agencies to combat the opioid crisis. This report should 
include an assessment of resources available to assist other 
U.S. government partners in their strategy to combat the opioid 
epidemic to include the United States Postal Service, and an 
analysis of potential opportunities for the Department to 
provide assistance in the future.

               United States-Mexico Security Cooperation

    The committee recognizes the importance of the relationship 
between the United States and the United Mexican States. The 
United States continues to face a nationwide epidemic of opioid 
addiction. Mexico continues to face violence, corruption, and 
instability as a result of transnational criminal organizations 
(TCOs) producing opioids and other illicit substances for 
distribution in the United States. The unlawful activity of the 
TCOs creates instability, violence, and insecurity in both the 
United States and Mexico.
    The committee believes these shared security challenges can 
only be countered cooperatively as each nation addresses 
illicit trafficking, violence, and production and distribution 
of illicit narcotics. The strength of the military-to-military 
relationship between the United States and Mexico is vital in 
combating these challenges. The committee encourages efforts to 
continue the development of the strong relationship and 
partnership between the U.S. Armed Forces and the Mexican Armed 
Forces.

                             Other Matters


  Assessment of Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve Involuntary 
      Mobilization Plans to Support Special Operations Activities

    During review of the fiscal year 2019 President's budget 
request and related activities in support of Air Force Special 
Operations Command (AFSOC), the committee determined that a 
small number of Air National Guard units and all Air Force 
Reserve Command units that support AFSOC missions and force 
presentation requirements do not possess a current, validated 
involuntary mobilization plan that complies with various 
Department of Defense, Department of the Air Force, and Special 
Operations Command instructions or policies. The committee is 
concerned that without sufficient and validated involuntary 
mobilization plans that detail how the Air National Guard and 
the Air Force Reserve Command intend to support AFSOC as 
operational reserve units, should the need arise for Special 
Operations Command to fully mobilize forces in support of 
global special operations activities, the Air National Guard 
and Air Force Reserve Command may lack the capability and 
capacity to support the mission.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to provide a briefing to the House Committee 
on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2019, that assesses 
involuntary mobilization plans for Air National Guard and Air 
Force Reserve Command units that support Air Force Special 
Operations missions and activities. The Comptroller General 
should assess, at a minimum:
    (1) the existence and recency of an involuntary 
mobilization plan;
    (2) the sufficiency and validity of the plan as compared to 
a unit's Designed Operational Capability statement, authorized 
and assigned manpower levels, authorized and assigned 
equipment, facilities, and support functions necessary to 
execute the plan;
    (3) comparison with existing Department of Defense policy 
and regulations governing mobilization-to-dwell and deployment-
to-dwell goals and objectives;
    (4) any discrepancies, shortfalls, or gaps associated with 
the aforementioned areas of assessment; and
    (5) any additional information the Comptroller General 
would find useful to support the briefing.

        Briefing on Ukrainian Special Operations Forces Training

    The committee recognizes the critical role played by U.S. 
and partner assistance in training, advising, and equipping 
Ukrainian military and security forces over the last several 
years, especially at the International Peacekeeping and 
Security Center in Yavoriv, Ukraine. This training facility has 
facilitated the successful completion of numerous joint, 
combined exercises up to the battalion level and has better 
enabled multi-domain readiness of Ukrainian forces. By 
employing the instrumented training capability at this center, 
United States Army Europe has led the Joint Multinational 
Training Group-Ukraine in greatly enhancing the operational 
capability, performance, and professionalism of Ukrainian 
forces.
    The committee further understands that such joint, combined 
training is scheduled to conclude in 2020 and that the 
Ukrainian General Staff is aware of acute needs, identified in 
October 2016 and restated in December 2017, to modernize the 
International Peacekeeping and Security Center before such 
training ends. These requirements include refurbishing and 
adding multiple integrated laser engagement systems, enhancing 
range and battlefield effects, and developing an urban 
operations training system.
    Finally, the committee understands that since their 
establishment in 2016, Ukrainian special operations forces have 
grown in both numbers and capabilities with a focus on 
unconventional missions such as counterterrorism and drug 
interdiction operations. In addition, Ukrainian land forces 
have grown, requiring additional training to support skills 
development in support of combined exercises with NATO and U.S. 
forces. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to provide the congressional defense committees, not 
later than September 30, 2018, with a briefing on current and 
planned U.S. support to Ukrainian special operations and land 
forces training, including but not limited to: detailed 
assessments of both the training center at Berdychiv, Ukraine 
and a land forces training complex in the Mykolaiv District 
near Odessa, Ukraine; analysis of training requirements; and a 
plan for potential U.S. funding assistance to new or modernized 
training facilities.

            Civil Support Team Information Management System

    The committee is aware that the National Guard Bureau 
Weapons of Mass Destruction Civil Support Teams (CST) currently 
field the CST Information Management System (CIMS). CIMS 
provides a common operation picture and promotes information 
sharing and real-time collaboration. CIMS also supports the CST 
mission of assisting and advising first responders and 
facilitating communications with other Federal resources in an 
emergency.
    The committee encourages the expansion of CIMS to establish 
an enterprise-wide capable tool, commonly referred to as the 
National Guard Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear 
Response Enterprise Information Management System 2018+ (NG 
CIMS 2018+). The committee believes that expansion will 
increase the capabilities of the CIMS to support other National 
Guard Bureau forces, such as the Chemical, Biological, 
Radiological, Nuclear, and High-Explosive Enhanced Response 
Force Package and Homeland Defense Response Force units.
    The committee notes that the timeline the Department of 
Defense previously presented to the committee in their 
September 8, 2015, report ``Civil Support Team Information 
Management System'' has been delayed. The committee, therefore, 
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by October 1, 2018, on the 
plan for the development of NG CIMS 2018+, including a 
description of timelines, milestones, fielding, and completion 
dates.

                   Close Combat Lethality Task Force

    The Committee understands that military operations still 
require our units to close with and destroy the enemy. The 
Committee also notes that, despite comprising a tiny fraction 
of total Department of Defense personnel, the ground close 
combat formations primarily tasked to close with and destroy 
the enemy bear a unique burden, reflected in them historically 
accounting for almost 90% of casualties.
    The Committee is aware that the Secretary of Defense 
established the Close Combat Lethality Task Force (CCLTF) on 
February 8, 2018 in order to implement select initiatives 
identified by the 2017 Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation's 
Close Combat Strategic Portfolio Review. The Committee also 
notes that the CCLTF further aims to improve the personnel 
policies, training methods, and equipment to update the 
training of ground close combat formations to reflect available 
technology, human factors science, and talent management best 
practices.
    The Committee notes that, relative to the overall size of 
the Department budget, the cost of supporting modernization to 
equipment and training for ground close combat formations is 
relatively small. The Committee believes that increased 
investments in these units' personnel, equipment, readiness, 
and training offer outsize returns for our military's combat 
capabilities.
    The Committee notes that greater tactical integration of 
existing unmanned aircraft--specifically medium-altitude, long-
endurance aircraft--offers a unique opportunity to address 
deficiencies in close combat units organic sensing, load-
bearing, communications extension, and lethality capabilities.
    In addition, the Committee notes that, since 2001, special 
operations forces (SOF) have taken on an increasing share of 
global missions, driven by the responsiveness of their 
capabilities to combatant commander requirements. The Committee 
believes that the CCLTF's efforts to bring SOF capabilities and 
training methodologies to line close combat formations is an 
important element of the overall CCLTF effort.
    In order to allow the Committee to fully support the 
efforts of the CCLTF, the Committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to brief the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than December 1, 2018 on the CCLTF's findings, including 
key focus areas for improvements in ground close combat 
equipment, training and readiness; proposals for rationalizing 
personnel management for ground close combat formations; the 
feasibility of establishing a Joint Close Combat Leader Center 
as a center of excellence for small-unit infantry leadership; 
the feasibility of making existing unmanned aircraft organic to 
ground close combat units; and the impact of improving line 
close combat formation capabilities and interoperability with 
SOF, as well as any other topics the Secretary deems 
appropriate.

Counter-Unmanned Aircraft System Authority for United States Facilities 
                               and Assets

    The committee notes that the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) provided the 
Department of Defense a modest expansion of existing counter-
unmanned aircraft system (C-UAS) authority in section 130i of 
title 10, United States Code, to address additional mission 
areas that the Department determined are critical, high-
priority U.S. facilities and assets essential to the Department 
carrying out its mission. The committee appreciates the 
Department's deliberate and thoughtful implementation of the C-
UAS authority to ensure the safety and security of Department 
assets and facilities, in addition to ensuring the safety of 
operations within the U.S. National Airspace System. The 
committee also notes that the Department, in conjunction with 
the Administrator, Federal Aviation Administration, is required 
to provide to relevant congressional committees a semiannual 
briefing on how the current C-UAS is being utilized and 
implemented, and various other items of information pertaining 
to the authority.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than September 1, 2018, the date of the next 
scheduled semiannual C-UAS briefing requirement to Congress. 
The briefing should include a list of capability gaps and 
shortfalls for C-UAS systems or mission areas of the Department 
that are not currently included in the existing C-UAS 
authority, but deemed to be high-priority or critical 
facilities or assets contributing to the success of the 
Department in executing its mission. The briefing should also 
include a list of existing Department research and development, 
or test and evaluation locations within the military services, 
that currently participate and specialize in C-UAS capabilities 
in the areas of detection and tracking, hard-kill defeat 
prediction, or improvised explosive/improvised explosive device 
performance assessment capability. The committee also 
encourages the Secretary of Defense to leverage existing 
deployment, operations, and test and evaluation activities and 
operational capabilities for C-UAS that are occurring at 
various U.S. overseas basing locations in order to determine 
what existing C-UAS technologies and capabilities could 
feasibly and viably be deployed to protect U.S. facility and 
asset locations requiring C-UAS capability.

                Counterterrorism Effectiveness Research

    The committee recognizes that basic research into the 
effectiveness of current counterterrorism policies and strategy 
is critical to informing and shaping future efforts. The 
committee understands that there is currently a wide range of 
social science research in these areas that should be 
leveraged, including better use of and integration with 
existing research by organizations maintaining databases of 
terrorism incidents globally.
    For example, the National Consortium for the Study of 
Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START) is a university-
based research and education center. The center is comprised of 
an international network of scholars committed to the 
scientific study of the causes and human consequences of 
terrorism in the United States and around the world. START 
supports the research efforts of leading social scientists at 
more than 50 academic and research institutions across the 
country and the globe.
    The committee is aware the START program supports more than 
14 terrorism and counterterrorism related datasets that are 
used across civilian and defense agencies, including the 
Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense, 
in order to directly inform international, Federal, State, and 
local training and educational programs.
    However, the budget request for fiscal year 2019 did not 
include funding for this effort. The committee believes that it 
is within the purview of the Department of Defense, and 
specifically U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) as the 
Coordinating Authority for Countering Violent Extremist 
Organizations, to foster academically rigorous studies of 
terrorism, like the START initiative, to provide a foundational 
understanding for how to assess the effectiveness of specific 
counterterrorism activities and programs, and best practices to 
inform counterterrorism policies. Further, the committee 
believes that as the Coordinating Authority for Countering 
Weapons of Mass Destruction (CWMD), SOCOM may also derive 
similar benefits for the Department of Defense from research 
pertaining to CWMD strategies, policies, and programs, by 
leveraging and enhancing programs like START.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Commander, U.S. 
Special Operations Command to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by October 30, 2018, on the 
feasibility and advisability of funding programs like START.

Development and Procurement of Combat Equipment and Clothing for Female 
                  Servicemembers in Combat Occupations

    The Committee notes that in June 2015 the Under Secretary 
of Defense for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology provided 
guidance to the services to take immediate steps to ensure that 
combat equipment is properly designed and fitted for female 
servicemembers. In 2016, the Committee recognized that the 
Services had been conducting anthropometric studies on male and 
female servicemembers in order to properly outfit and equip 
their respective servicemembers. However, although more than 
600 women have competed for and joined newly opened ground 
combat units in the Army and Marine Corps, the Committee is 
concerned that properly designed and fitted combat equipment, 
gear, and clothing is not consistently available to women 
warfighters. That concern also encompasses other women from all 
the services who continue to deploy to areas where they too 
need properly fitting combat and organizational gear. The 
Committee believes that female servicemembers in physically 
demanding occupations like infantry and armor are not 
positioned for success and their lethality and safety is 
compromised if they are required to train and perform in 
equipment not designed for their body type. Properly designed 
and fitted equipment for women should be available beginning 
with initial entry training through any and all deployments.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the service chiefs, to submit a report to 
the Committees on Armed Services no later than 180 days after 
the enactment of this Act. The report shall include:
    (1) Information about the status of procuring and issuing 
the following to all females serving in or training for, 
infantry and armor occupations and to those from other units 
and occupations deploying to areas where they will require such 
equipment (from the beginning of training through any 
deployments): (1) personal protective equipment (2) 
organizational clothing and individual equipment (including for 
example tanker apparel, mechanics coveralls, tanker headsets, 
and ruck frames); and (3) the female urinary diverter;
    (2) Information about timing, including the date on which 
such equipment will be available;
    (3) What additional legislative and funding authorities are 
required to expedite procurement;
    (4) The results of any surveys and studies that have 
addressed the availability, serviceability, and effectiveness 
of personal protective equipment, organizational clothing and 
individual equipment, and the female urinary diverter device.

                  Foreign Currency Fluctuation Account

    In the committee reports accompanying the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 through 2017 (H. Rept. 
113-446, H. Rept. 114-102, H. Rept. 114-537), the committee 
encouraged the Department of Defense to take into consideration 
the current balance within the Foreign Currency Fluctuation, 
Defense (FCF,D) account when determining foreign currency rates 
in future budget submissions.
    When the FCF,D account has a balance close to or at the 
statutory cap of $970.0 million, the committee believes the 
budgeted rates should be adjusted to generate losses within the 
account, thereby drawing down the FCF,D account balance. This 
would reduce the operation and maintenance (O&M) budget 
requirement for foreign goods and services, allowing excess 
funds to be allocated to other readiness programs without 
changing the budget topline. However, as the FCF,D account 
realizes a net gain, these gains remain in O&M and are used for 
purposes not originally requested in the annual budget 
submission to Congress. Without visibility of these 
transactions through a reprogramming request, the committee 
cannot determine whether funds remaining in the FCF,D account 
are being used to reduce current readiness shortfalls.
    The committee observes that the Department continues to not 
take the current balance into account when determining foreign 
currency rates. Due to lack of the use of current balances to 
structure foreign currency rates, the committee recommends a 
reduction in the O&M budget for fiscal year 2019 as shown in 
section 4301 of this Act, a reduction in the Military Personnel 
budget for fiscal year 2019 as shown in section 4401 of this 
Act, and a reduction in the Defense Health Program budget for 
fiscal year 2019 as shown in section 4501 of this Act, and 
realigns those funds to support higher priority defense 
requirements throughout the Department.

           Friendly Force Identification in Close Air Support

    The committee is aware that tactical aircraft controllers 
use a multitude of commercial-off-the-shelf infrared (IR) 
strobes for friendly force identification in close combat 
operations, and that U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) 
has validated and approved a Thermal-Identification, Friend or 
Foe (T-IFF) Capability Production Document (CPD) to improve 
existing capability. The committee notes the T-IFF program 
would provide for an ``out of band'' beacon which should align 
with current advanced targeting pods used on tactical aircraft. 
The committee also notes that SOCOM is planning two user 
evaluations in 2018 to assess potential commercial off-the-
shelf solutions that could also potentially meet the 
requirements in the TIFF CPD.
    While the committee is supportive of these efforts and 
encourages their acceleration, it is concerned that current 
infrared marking strobes currently fielded to U.S. ground 
forces, to include U.S. Special Operation Forces, are not 
easily detectable to tactical aircraft performing close air 
support, and could result in fratricide. Additionally, the 
committee is aware of multiple programs in progress across the 
military services to address this requirement. These efforts 
and requirements must be coordinated and communicated across 
the military services and SOCOM to expeditiously provide 
upgraded IR strobes that can be detected by advanced targeting 
pods.
    The committee directs the Commander, U.S. Special 
Operations Command, in coordination with the Chief of Staff of 
the Army and the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by December 
14, 2018, on their efforts to synchronize a friendly force 
identification mechanism, such as IR strobes, for use during 
combat close air support operations. The briefing should also 
include efforts to ensure that these mechanisms are detectable 
by advanced targeting pods used on current tactical aircraft.

                Genetic and Medical Information Security

    Recent advancements in information and computational 
capabilities, along with advancements in synthetic biology and 
genomics, have resulted in the convergence of data and life 
sciences. The committee is troubled by the potential risks 
posed by the proliferation of personal biological information, 
including DNA sequences, electronic medical records, medical 
claims processing data, pharmacy records, health information 
exchanges, and activity trackers. The committee recognizes this 
information is essential for the development of precision 
medicine, but is concerned about the potential lack of 
appropriate security control over the data of service members 
due to the growing efforts by adversaries to acquire this 
information. The committee believes acquisition of this 
information by adversaries may lead to the development of new 
biological threats.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by March 1, 2019, on the Department of Defense's effort to 
secure service members' genetic, medical, and lifestyle 
information. The briefing shall include information on the 
location, access control, and security protocols of all 
databases with this information; and offer policy 
recommendations for protecting this information.
    The committee further directs the Director of the Defense 
Intelligence Agency to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2019, on foreign 
intelligence services attempts to collect this information on 
Department of Defense personnel, including:
    (1) attempts by foreign intelligence services to collect 
genetic data, medical records, and any other personal health or 
biological information;
    (2) use of non-traditional intelligence collection 
techniques, to include foreign investment in commercial 
entities that offer genetic data analysis, medical record 
administration, and other health information services; and
    (3) use of this data lost through data breaches, 
unauthorized disclosures, or non-traditional collection 
techniques to enable targeting of U.S. persons.

  MQ-9 Enterprise Supporting Air Combat Command and Air Force Special 
                     Operations Command Activities

    After a detailed review, the committee has determined that 
a system to manage and develop MQ-9 specific remotely piloted 
aircraft (RPA) aircrews does not exist between Air Force 
Special Operations Command (AFSOC), Air Combat Command (ACC), 
and the Air Force Personnel Center. The committee is concerned 
that ACC is the Air Force's primary entity responsible for 
managing, assigning, and transitioning MQ-9 aircrews for AFSOC 
and that AFSOC may not have the visibility it needs into ACC 
``talent management'' processes to sufficiently support AFSOC 
future planning and normalization of operations tempo. 
Moreover, the role of the Air Force Personnel Center's in 
managing and career-shaping MQ-9 aircrews is unclear.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Commander of ACC, in 
coordination with the Commander of AFSOC and the Commander of 
the Air Force Personnel Center, to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services not later than October 19, 
2018, on how MQ-9 aircrews are assigned, managed, and developed 
among ACC and AFSOC. The briefing should also include an update 
regarding the Air Force's MQ-9 Culture and Process Improvement 
Program activities for each command, and each command's 
progress for acquiring the necessary manpower authorizations, 
and actual assigned manpower, to achieve deployment to dwell 
operations tempo to comply with Department of Defense policies.

National Guard Access to Department of Defense Owned Unmanned Aircraft 
                                Systems

    The committee notes that section 1084 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-
91) required that not later than 1 year after the date of the 
enactment of Public Law 115-91, the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, the 
Commander, U.S. Northern Command, and the Commander, U.S. 
Pacific Command, complete an efficiency and effectiveness 
review of the governance structure, coordination processes, 
documentation, and timing requirements stipulated in Department 
of Defense policy memorandum 15-002, ``Guidance for the 
Domestic Use of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS).'' In addition, 
not later than 30 days after the policy review is completed, 
the Secretary of Defense is required to submit the results of 
the review to the congressional defense committees. The 
committee expects that during the policy review, Department of 
Defense officials will implement a processing timeline for 
reviewing National Guard UAS utilization requests that 
appropriately balances reviewing the request for compliance 
with established policy and reviewing the request in a timely 
manner that coincides with the responsiveness, urgency, and 
operational planning factors dictated by the specific mission 
the UAS capability is being requested to support.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than 30 days after the policy review required by 
section 1084 of Public Law 115-91 is completed. The briefing 
should include information related to the processing timeline 
that the Secretary established during the policy review and how 
the timeline will be implemented.

   Preparedness of U.S. Forces To Counter North Korean Chemical and 
                           Biological Weapons

    The committee is aware of reports of the Democratic 
People's Republic of Korea's pursuit of the essential 
laboratories, equipment, and skills for an advanced biological 
weapons program, in addition to reports of existing stockpiles 
of chemical weapons. The 2017 National Security Strategy states 
that North Korea is pursuing chemical and biological weapons, 
which could be delivered by missile. The strategy also states 
that the Department of Defense will ensure U.S. military forces 
can operate effectively in the face of biological weapons 
attacks, and that our troops and critical domestic and overseas 
installations are effectively protected against such threats.
    To assist the committee in conducting its oversight of the 
preparedness of U.S. forces to respond to these threats, the 
committee directs the Comptroller General of the United States 
to review the extent to which Department of Defense military 
units deployed to the Republic of Korea and the Department's 
chemical and biological defense support units on the Korean 
peninsula, in the U.S. Pacific Command area of responsibility, 
and in the United States, are prepared to counter chemical and 
biological weapons, including:
    (1) detection and identification;
    (2) individual and collective protection;
    (3) medical countermeasures;
    (4) decontamination;
    (5) training and exercises; and
    (6) any other matters the Comptroller General deems 
relevant.
    The committee also directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 1, 2019, on the preliminary results of the review, and 
submit a subsequent report by a date agreed to at the time of 
the briefing.

             Report on NORTHCOM Response to Hurricane Maria

    In 2017, the United States witnessed Hurricane Maria, which 
had a devastating impact on Puerto Rico and required a Federal 
Government response. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense, in collaboration with the Secretary of 
Homeland Security and the Federal Emergency Management Agency 
Administrator, to submit a report by December 1, 2018 on the 
ongoing U.S. Government recovery effort of Hurricane Maria. The 
report shall include the following elements: (a) statistics on 
ongoing power outages; (b) the number of deaths in each U.S. 
state or territory affected; (c) measures to improve hurricane 
emergency response plans for insular areas and/or territories 
of the United States.

Review of National Guard Capabilities in Support of Incident Awareness 
                   and Assessment Mission Operations

    The committee notes there is inconsistency among National 
Guard and Department of the Air Force officials in expressing 
what type of capabilities and which platforms are required to 
support the Incident Awareness and Assessment (IAA) mission of 
the National Guard. The committee requires clarification 
regarding the National Guard's current and future capability 
and capacity requirements to execute the IAA mission in support 
of Domestic Operations (DOMOPS) when National Guard personnel 
are on duty or mobilized under title 32, United States Code, 
authority, and in support of Defense Support to Civil 
Authorities (DSCA) when National Guard personnel are on duty or 
mobilized under title 10, United States Code, authority. The 
committee believes it is critical for the Department of Defense 
to maintain a sufficient capability, capacity, and 
responsiveness among the Active and Reserve components of the 
Department when supporting missions related to homeland defense 
and responding to natural disasters or declared emergencies.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Chief, National Guard 
Bureau, in coordination with the Commander, U.S. Northern 
Command, the Director, Air National Guard, and the Director, 
Army National Guard, to provide a report to the congressional 
defense committees by October 1, 2018, that provides an 
Incident Awareness and Assessment capability and capacity 
roadmap for the National Guard covering the 2019 to 2023 Future 
Years Defense Program (FYDP). The report should describe, at a 
minimum:
    (1) the validated capability and capacity requirements 
defining the IAA mission in support of U.S. Northern Command, 
State Governors, and other Government agencies;
    (2) the specific platforms and quantities of platforms the 
National Guard will leverage, maintain, or procure to support 
IAA capability and capacity requirements;
    (3) a schedule depicting specific platforms that will be 
procured, maintained, or divested in support of IAA 
capabilities and capacity over the covered time period;
    (4) a schedule depicting specific platforms and associated 
modernization and upgrades that will be accomplished over the 
covered time period;
    (5) the required funding needed and currently programmed in 
the FYDP to support individual platforms within the IAA 
portfolio of capabilities; and
    (6) any capability or capacity gaps or shortfalls that are 
identified over the covered time period.

 Senior Civilian or Military Leaders in Charge of Audit and Financial 
                               Management

    The committee has long maintained that a central factor of 
the department's audit progress has been clear leadership and 
accountability across the department. The committee is 
concerned that there are mid-level departments within the 
services and agencies that lack designated audit and financial 
management accountability of senior leaders by requiring this 
in official position duties. Therefore, the committee directs 
the department to provide a report no later than September 30, 
2018, to the congressional armed services committees on the 
senior civilian or military leadership responsible for audit 
and financial management compliance of each respective 
department.

                               Soo Locks

    The committee understands that the Soo Locks on the St. 
Marys River at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, are the only 
waterway connection from Lake Superior to the rest of the Lower 
Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway. The committee is 
concerned that of the 2 current operational locks, only the Poe 
Lock is large enough to accommodate the 1,000-foot carriers 
necessary to transport a majority of the iron ore used in 
domestic steel production. The committee notes that this lock 
is near the end of its 50-year useful lifespan and that the 
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is reevaluating a past economic 
evaluation report to update the Soo Locks' benefit to cost 
ratio.
    The committee believes that a failure at the Soo Locks 
would have drastic impacts on national security, in that the 
U.S. iron mining-integrated steel production-manufacturing 
supply chain is dependent on the Soo Locks, and there is no 
redundancy. Indeed, such a failure would cripple steel 
production that is used for national defense priorities. 
Therefore, the committee urges the Chief of the Corps of 
Engineers and all involved executive branch agencies to 
expedite necessary reviews, analysis, and approvals in order to 
speed the required upgrades at the Soo Locks.

to submit a report to the designated congressional committees 
not later than 9 months after the date of the enactment of this 
Act on the whole-of-government strategy for combating malign 
foreign influence operations.

Section 1043--Workforce Issues for Military Realignments in the Pacific

    This section would amend section 1806 of title 48, United 
States Code, to allow the continued employment of temporary

mitigate the operational risk posed to certain military 
aircraft by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) next-
generation airspace control mandate that takes effect on 
January 1, 2020, by accommodating certain fighter, bomber, and 
other sensitive mission aircraft until the Department of 
Defense and FAA agree on one or more solutions to address 
Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast Out security risks 
or incorporate mitigation for security risks into a memorandum

coordination with the Secretaries of the military departments, 
to conduct a comprehensive review of the ethics and 
professionalism programs of the U.S. Special Operations Command 
and the military departments for officers and other military 
personnel serving in special operations forces. This section 
would require the Secretary of Defense to submit the review to 
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives by March 1, 2019.

 Section 1056--Munitions Assessments and Future-Years Defense Program 
                              Requirements

    This section would require the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Acquisition and Sustainment to provide all relevant 
documents related to the Department of Defense's munitions 
requirements process, as well as provide the planned funding 
and munitions requirements required for fiscal year 2020 and 
across the Future Years Defense Program for munitions across 
all military services and the Missile Defense Agency. This 
section would also require the Under Secretary to evaluate and 
identify supply chain risks, including qualified supplier 
shortages or single source supplier vulnerabilities for 
munitions production. The committee notes that munitions are 
defined as a complete device charged with explosives; 
propellants; pyrotechnics; initiating composition; or chemical, 
biological, radiological, or nuclear material for use in 
operations including demolitions, to include conventional 
ammunition.

     Section 1057--Report on Establishment of Army Futures Command

    This section would require the Secretary of the Army to 
provide a report to the congressional defense committees on the 
Army's plan for the establishment of Army Futures Command, to 
include a description of the authorities, mission, and 
organizational structure. This section does not prohibit the 
Secretary of the Army from proceeding forward with any current 
internal organizational changes in accordance with existing 
authorities related to the establishment of the Army Futures 
Command.

   Section 1058--Assessment of Department of Defense Electromagnetic 
                      Spectrum Warfare Enterprise

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense, in 
consultation with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 
(CJCS), to develop an implementation plan to conduct joint 
campaign modeling and wargaming for joint electromagnetic 
spectrum operations (JEMSO) of the Department of Defense, and 
to submit that plan in the form of a report by February 18, 
2019, to the congressional defense committees. This section 
would also require the Secretary and CJCS to provide various 
briefing presentations to the House Committee on Armed 
Services, not later than February 25, 2019, on essential topics 
and functions of the Department's JEMSO enterprise.
    The committee is concerned that since the electronic 
warfare (EW) strategy document was released by the Department's 
Electronic Warfare Executive Committee in June 2017, subsequent 
efforts to strengthen, modernize, and create synergy of effort 
across the Department related to the JEMSO enterprise may have 
stagnated within the military services, the Office of the 
Secretary of Defense, and the Office of the Chairman of the 
Joint Chiefs of Staff. The committee seeks to gain a greater 
understanding of current JEMSO efforts since release of the EW 
strategy document, and the committee encourages those officials 
overseeing the JEMSO enterprise to reinvigorate efforts towards 
achieving the goals and objectives described in the EW 
strategy.

     Section 1059--Report on Support for Non-Contiguous States and 
           Territories in the Event of Threats and Incidents

of the House of Representatives describing the progress in 
development of the Low-Boom Flight Demonstration.

      Section 1061--Report on Cyber-Enabled Information Operations

    This section would require the President to provide the 
Committees on Armed Services and Foreign Affairs of the House 
of Representatives and the Committees on Armed Services and 
Foreign Relations of the Senate a report not later than 180 
days after the date of the enactment of this Act on the effects 
of cyber-enabled information operations on the national 
security of the United States.

                       Subtitle G--Other Matters


      Section 1071--Technical, Conforming, and Clerical Amendments

    This section would make a number of technical, conforming, 
and clerical amendments of a non-substantive nature to existing 
law.

     Section 1072--Principal Advisor on Countering Weapons of Mass 
                              Destruction

    This section would direct the Secretary of Defense to 
designate, from among the personnel of the Office of the 
Secretary of Defense, a Principal Advisor on Countering Weapons 
of Mass Destruction (CWMD). Such individual shall act as the 
Principal Advisor to the Secretary on the activities of the 
Department of Defense relating to countering weapons of mass 
destruction. Further, this section would require a plan for 
realigning, restructuring, or reducing the current CWMD 
oversight framework of the Office of the Secretary of Defense.

             Section 1073--Receipt of Firearm or Ammunition

    This section would require for the purposes of Federal 
firearms laws that the residency of members of the Armed Forces 
and their spouses be determined in the same manner.

          Section 1074--Federal Charter for Spirit of America

    This section would designate Spirit of America, a nonprofit 
organization, as a federally chartered corporation.

        Section 1075--Transfer of Aircraft to Other Departments

    This section would amend section 1098 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-
66) to relieve the United States Air Force (USAF) from the 
mandate to modify United States Coast Guard (USCG) HC-130H 
aircraft with designated capabilities for use by the United 
States Forest Service (USFS).
    The committee notes that officials from the USFS, USCG, and 
USAF notified the committee, and relevant other House of 
Representatives and Senate committees of jurisdiction, that a 
recently completed USFS cost-benefit analysis demonstrated it 
is more cost-effective, and provides greater firefighting 
capacity and responsiveness, to utilize contract service 
provided capability instead of owning and operating year-round 
a small, organic fleet of modified HC-130H aircraft.

    Section 1076--Reauthorization of National Aviation Heritage Area

    This section would amend title V of division J of the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act of 2005 (Public Law 108-447) to 
establish Dayton History as the entity responsible for managing 
the National Aviation Heritage Area.

            Section 1077--Recognition of America's Veterans

    This section would honor America's veterans, including 
those who have not yet been appropriately recognized for their 
service to the Nation, by authorizing the Secretary of Defense 
to carry out a parade in their honor. The Secretary would be 
authorized to expend funds authorized to be appropriated under 
this Act for the display of small arms and munitions 
appropriate for customary ceremonial honors and for the 
participation of military units that perform customary 
ceremonial duties.
    The committee believes that, as America approaches the 
100th anniversary of the 1918 Armistice ending World War I, it 
is appropriate to honor a century of military service by the 
men and women who have sacrificed to secure America's freedom. 
The committee further believes that the world they made through 
their sacrifices is increasingly under threat from competitors 
like the Russian Federation and the People's Republic of China. 
The committee is concerned that far too many veterans, 
including veterans of the conflicts in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, 
and Afghanistan, have been denied the public display of 
gratitude their service deserves and therefore the committee 
believes now is the right time to celebrate a century of 
patriotic sacrifice and service.

     Section 1078--National Commission on Military Aviation Safety

    This section would establish a National Commission on 
Military Aviation Safety. The commission would undertake a 
comprehensive study and deliver a report not later than June 1, 
2019, on military aviation mishaps occurring between fiscal 
years 2013-18.

    Section 1079--Target Practice and Marksmanship Training Support

    This section would amend sections 669a, 669g, and 669h of 
title 16, United States Code, to expand opportunities for 
construction and sustainment of target practice and 
marksmanship training facilities at public target ranges on 
Federal and non-Federal land.

     Section 1080--Sense of Congress on Adversary Air Capabilities

    This section would express the sense of Congress that each 
Department of Defense facility housing an F-22 aircraft 
squadron should have adversary air capabilities to improve 
training of F-22 aircrews.

   Section 1081--Sense of Congress Regarding Organic Attack Aviator 
                          Training Capability

    This section would express the sense of Congress that the 
Army National Guard should retain rotary wing attack aviation 
units as well as organic training capacity such as the Western 
and Eastern Army Aviation Training Sites.

   Section 1082--Sense of Congress on the Legacy, Contributions, and 
  Sacrifices of American Indian and Alaska Natives in the Armed Forces

    This section would express the sense of Congress on the 
legacy, contributions, and sacrifices of American Indian and 
Alaska Natives in the Armed Forces, and commits to ensuring 
progress for these groups with regard to representation in 
senior leadership positions, improved access to resources, and 
support for families and tribal communities.

                   Section 1083--Amateur Radio Parity

    This section would require the Federal Communications 
Commission to amend section 97.15 of title 47, Code of Federal 
Regulations, to prohibit the application of any private land 
use restriction to amateur radio stations in a manner that 
would preclude communications in an amateur radio service.

Section 1084--Sense of Congress Regarding the International Borders of 
                           the United States

    This section would express the sense of Congress that 
operational control of the international borders of the U.S. is 
critical to national security, the U.S. must devote adequate 
resources to securing the border, and the Department of Defense 
must have adequate resources to support the mission to secure 
the international borders of the U.S. while maintaining combat 
readiness.

 Section 1085--Program To Commemorate 75th Anniversary of World War II

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
conduct a program to commemorate the 75th anniversary of World 
War II; such program would be authorized to include the 
provision of support to other Federal Government agencies, and 
to State and local governments.
    The Secretary would be authorized to spend not more than 
$2.0 million for fiscal year 2019 for the activities of the 
Department of Defense World War II Commemoration Fund.

                  TITLE XI--CIVILIAN PERSONNEL MATTERS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                      Civilian Talent Recruitment

    The committee recognizes that the Department of Defense and 
the military departments encounter difficulty recruiting highly 
specialized civilians in science, technology, engineering, and 
mathematics (STEM) fields due to pay and other compensation 
limitations imposed by the Office of Personnel Management 
general schedule pay scales.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management 
and Budget, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than January 31, 2019, on the 
challenges associated with the Department's efforts to hire 
organic civilians in the STEM fields.
    The briefing must include the following elements:
    (1) recommendations on how the Department can use 
professional pay incentives, such as special or incentive pay, 
like those provided to uniformed career fields such as pilots 
or medical professionals;
    (2) impacts any delays in hiring have on the Department and 
the services' medium- and long-term technical capabilities; and
    (3) an assessment of the average time it takes for the 
Department of Defense and the military services to hire STEM 
civilians and recommendations for how this process can be 
improved.

                        Direct Hiring Authority

    The committee notes that section 1106 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328) provides direct-hire authority to the Secretary of Defense 
for post-secondary students and recent graduates. Under this 
authority, the Secretary may recruit and appoint qualified 
recent graduates and current post-secondary students to 
competitive service positions in professional and 
administrative occupations within the Department of Defense. 
These appointments cannot exceed 15 percent of the number of 
hires made into professional and administrative occupations. 
Further, section 1110 of Public Law 114-328 allows for direct-
hire authority for the Department for Financial Management 
Experts not exceeding 10 percent of the number of hires.
    The committee recognizes that additional hiring challenges 
exist throughout the Department and at many installations, and 
notes that additional direct-hiring authority may allow for 
more efficient and effective hiring of talented personnel in 
the fields of cybersecurity, engineering, science, and cost 
analysis positions. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the military 
departments, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than January 31, 2019, on the 
effectiveness of existing direct-hire authority and 
recommendations for any necessary expansion of or changes to 
the existing authority to improve the Department's ability to 
hire technically skilled personnel in a timely manner.

                Presidential Management Fellows Program

    The committee recognizes that the Presidential Management 
Fellows (PMF) program has been one of the most successful means 
of recruiting the nation's top graduate students into U.S. 
government service. Consistent with the 2018 National Defense 
Strategy, the committee recognizes the PMF program's role in 
recruiting highly-qualified, talented, and innovative graduate 
students in order to create the ``motivated, diverse, and 
highly skilled civilian workforce.'' In the committee's view, 
during the four decades since the program's founding, the 
Department of Defense has benefited greatly from the program. 
Despite this, the centrally managed process for hiring PMFs 
into the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) has been 
suspended since 2015. While Department of Defense components 
are permitted to hire PMFs, unfortunately, they are unable to 
replicate the well-rounded experience created by the rotating 
assignments of the OSD program that is so crucial to leadership 
at the highest levels.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report by January 31, 2019, on the PMF program. The 
report shall include the following elements: (a) a description 
of the PMF program historically and as it currently exists 
within the Department; (b) statistics on federal civilian 
employees who entered the Department from the PMF program since 
its inception, including the overall number, their average 
length of tenure, the component by which they were hired, their 
entering and departing career civilian ranks, and an accounting 
for any notable subsequent leadership positions in the national 
security field; (c) an explanation for why the centrally 
managed process for hiring PMFs into the Office of the 
Secretary of Defense has been suspended and recommendations for 
any changes to policy, authorities, and resources required to 
resume it; (d) an assessment of the benefits and costs of 
resuming the use of and expanding the size of the PMF program 
across the Department; (e) recommendations for any changes to 
policy, authorities, and resources required to improve the 
program and expedite the on-boarding process for PMFs.

               Recruitment and Hiring of Navy Astronomers

    The Committee recognizes the critical missions of the U.S. 
Naval Observatory (USNO) and the Naval Observatory Flagstaff 
Station (NOFS) to the Department. The Committee is aware of 
challenges in recent years to recruitment and timely hiring of 
astronomers at NOFS, which risks key astronomical observation 
shifts going missed. The Committee directs the Secretary of the 
Navy to provide a briefing to the Committee on Armed Services 
of the House no later than December 31, 2018, outlining: the 
hiring process and timeline for astronomy positions at USNO and 
NOFS; identifying reasons for delays in approving positions and 
hiring for such positions; what the Navy is doing to shorten 
timelines; barriers and challenges to recruitment of 
individuals with relevant expertise; identifying impediments to 
hiring such individuals in a timely basis; and identifying 
impediments to recruiting and relocating individuals to NOFS.

              Workplace Flexibility for Federal Civilians

    The committee recognizes efforts taken by the military 
services to increase workplace flexibility to attract and 
retain talented personnel. The committee remains concerned, 
however, that a lack of professional flexibility in the 
civilian work force limits the ability of the Department of 
Defense and the military services to attract and retain highly 
trained mid-level career professionals. Family planning and an 
individual's desire to further their education are two 
frequently cited reasons why professionals seek more flexible 
work schedules.
    The committee notes numerous private sector organizations 
started providing increased work flexibility to their 
employees, providing incentives that lure the skilled workforce 
away from the DoD and the services. Therefore, in order to 
preserve and enhance the DoD's civilian workforce the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
Secretaries of the military departments, to provide a briefing 
by January 31st, 2019 that identifies current policies that 
allow work-share, job-share, part-time, tele-work, and other 
flexibilities currently offered by the Department for civilian 
employees. The briefing should identify the frequency with 
which these policies are used by each pay-band and career-
field, whether certain career-fields have been exempted from 
certain flexibility programs and the justification for 
exemption, the number of employees who have been denied 
opportunities to do work-share, job-share, part-time work, or 
tele-work, and how many of these employees, as a result, have 
left the federal government.

                         LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS


 Section 1101--Direct Hire Authority for the Department of Defense for 
                 Certain Competitive Service Positions

    This section would amend chapter 99 of title 5, United

competitive positions in the Department of Defense through 
September 30, 2025. This section would also repeal the more 
limited authority provided by section 1106 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328).

 Section 1103--Extension of Overtime Rate Authority for Department of 
the Navy Employees Performing Work Aboard or Dockside in Support of the 
       Nuclear-Powered Aircraft Carrier Forward Deployed in Japan

    This section would amend section 5542 of title 5, United 
States Code, to extend until September 30, 2021, the authority 
of the Secretary of the Navy to pay overtime rates to civilian 
employees performing temporary duty in Japan in support of the 
forward deployed nuclear aircraft carrier.

 Section 1104--One-Year Extension and Expansion of Authority to Waive 
 Annual Limitation on Premium Pay and Aggregate Limitation on Pay for 
              Federal Civilian Employees Working Overseas

    This section would amend section 1101 of the Duncan Hunter 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2009 (Public 
Law 110-417) to extend the authority to waive the annual 
limitation on premium pay and aggregate limitation on pay for 
Federal civilian employees working overseas until September 30, 
2019.
    This section would also restrict the waiver limitation to 
the pay periods applicable, rather than the entire calendar 
year.

  Section 1105--Appointment of Retired Members of the Armed Forces to 
            Positions in or Under the Department of Defense

    This section would provide the Secretary of Defense 
temporary authority to appoint retired members of the Armed 
Forces to Federal civilian positions within the Department of 
Defense immediately upon retirement for certain categories of 
positions. This section would provide this authority to the 
Secretary for 5 years.

    Section 1106--Extension of Authority to Conduct Telework Travel 
                         Expenses Test Programs

    This section would amend section 5711 of title 5, United 
States Code, to extend the authority of the Administrator of 
the General Services Administration to conduct a test telework 
program until December 31, 2020.

             Section 1107--Personnel Demonstration Projects

    This section would amend section 4703 of title 5, United 
States Code, to deem that demonstration projects conducted 
under this authority lasting more than 10 years shall not count 
against the limit of 10 such projects ongoing at any time.

    Section 1108--Expanded Flexibility in Selecting Candidates From 
                             Referral Lists

    This section would amend subchapter I of chapter 33 of 
title 5, United States Code, to provide Federal agencies 
flexibility in setting the minimum number of candidates who 
must be considered on a referral list for each vacancy by 
amending sections 3317, 3318, and 3319 of such title.

   Section 1109--Temporary and Term Appointments in the Competitive 
                                Service

    This section would amend subchapter I of chapter 31 of 
title 5, United States Code, by adding a new section that would 
authorize the heads of Federal agencies to hire civilian 
personnel through temporary and term appointments. This section 
would also permit an agency head to make noncompetitive hires 
for up to 18 months to meet a critical need.

             TITLE XII--MATTERS RELATING TO FOREIGN NATIONS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                  Carrier Presence in the Middle East

    The committee recognizes the importance of maintaining an 
aircraft carrier strike group in the U.S. Central Command 
(CENTCOM) area of operations to deter the Islamic Republic of 
Iran, support ongoing missions in the Republic of Iraq, the 
Syrian Arab Republic, and the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, 
provide assurance to regional partners, and maintain the 
capacity to flexibly respond to a variety of crises across the 
volatile region. The Navy currently struggles to meet combatant 
commander presence requirements in CENTCOM and a recent gap in 
carrier presence there temporarily limited CENTCOM's capacity 
to address these security challenges. In an effort to more 
quickly reach the requirement for 12 aircraft carriers 
identified in the most recent Force Structure Assessment and to 
achieve greater cost savings, the committee authorized an 
acceleration of the next Ford-class aircraft carrier designated 
CVN-81 in fiscal year 2019. The committee also recommends that 
the Navy assess options to extend the service life of USS 
Nimitz (CVN 68) to mitigate potential gaps, which could affect 
CENTCOM's regional force presence.

     Casualty Evacuation in U.S. Africa Command Area of Operations

    Given the vast distances and austere conditions affecting 
mobility on the African continent, the committee recognizes 
that personnel recovery and casualty evacuation are critical 
enablers to U.S. Africa Command's (AFRICOM's) conduct of 
operations. The committee is concerned, however, that current 
funding for contractor-owned, contractor-operated casualty 
evacuation capabilities is currently insufficient to support 
requirements. Therefore, the funding table in division D would 
authorize an additional $15.0 million for contractor-owned, 
contractor-operated casualty evacuation capability in AFRICOM's 
area of operations.

                Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa

    The committee has long been concerned about U.S. Africa 
Command (AFRICOM) Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa's 
(CJTF-HOA) ability to execute assigned missions and taskings, 
as evidenced by section 1241 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383), 
which required the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with 
the Secretary of State, to monitor and evaluate the impact of 
CJTF-HOA's activities to counter violent extremism in Africa 
and provide a report to Congress.
    The committee continues to be concerned that CJTF-HOA's 
organizational structure, resourcing, command relationships, 
and lack of clearly defined role, responsibility, and authority 
have led to suboptimal performance in executing its assigned 
missions as an operational headquarters and ensuring unified 
action in the region. The committee acknowledges that as the 
only major element of AFRICOM located on the continent, there 
may be value in maintaining and better enabling CJTF-HOA to 
synchronize, facilitate, and oversee its assigned missions. The 
committee notes, however, that options other than a joint task 
force may be more effective in accomplishing these missions.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to evaluate the missions of CJTF-HOA and the operational 
environment to determine whether a joint task force provides 
the most effective headquarters option for command and control 
of operations. Further, the committee directs the Secretary to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than October 31, 2018, on the results of the evaluation. 
The briefing shall include:
    (1) an evaluation of the costs and benefits of maintaining 
a permanent U.S. military presence in East Africa, and the 
potential locations for such presence;
    (2) an evaluation of the advantages and disadvantages of 
maintaining a combined joint task force structure to fulfill 
assigned missions and taskings;
    (3) the range of headquarters options available for command 
and control of operations in East Africa and the advantages and 
disadvantages of each option;
    (4) recommendations for the most effective headquarters 
structure, command relationships, and assignment of missions to 
improve the command and control of operations and to ensure 
unified action in East Africa; and
    (5) any other matter the Secretary determines to be 
appropriate.

 Coordinating Efforts To Counter the Malign Activities of the People's 
 Republic of China and the Russian Federation Across Combatant Commands

    The committee is concerned about the People's Republic of 
China and the Russian Federation's malign influence and 
activities that extend across all geographical regions and 
supports the Department's efforts to increase coordination 
across combatant commands in countering those activities. The 
committee believes that China and Russia's influence campaigns, 
economic investment and infrastructure, and security presence 
throughout the Indo-Pacific, Central Asia, Africa, Europe, and 
South America, have national security implications for the 
United States and its allies and partners. Therefore, the 
committee encourages all combatant commands to coordinate their 
respective efforts and use all appropriate authorities to 
include security cooperation activities, foreign military 
sales, and other equipment transfers to counter China and 
Russia's activities and to develop the capabilities of United 
States allies and partners. The committee notes that the 
combatant commands should align their efforts in accordance 
with section 1637 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), as appropriate.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by December 
3, 2018, on the actions the combatant commands are taking to 
increase coordination and counter the activities posed by China 
and Russia.

Department of Defense Inspector General Audit of Foreign Military Sales

    An efficient, thorough, and effective Foreign Military 
Sales (FMS) process is vital to U.S. foreign policy and 
national security, and contributes to the health of the U.S. 
defense industrial base. The committee is aware, however, of 
concerns raised by U.S. military leaders, the defense industry, 
and foreign partners that the FMS process is slow, cumbersome, 
and overly complicated.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Inspector General of 
the Department of Defense to conduct an audit regarding 
Department of Defense implementation of FMS programs and, upon 
completion of the audit, to submit a final report to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, the Committee on Foreign Relations of the 
Senate, and the Committee on Foreign Affairs of the House of 
Representatives. The committee further directs the Inspector 
General to meet with the House Committee on Armed Services and 
the House Committee on Foreign Affairs not later than June 30, 
2018, to scope the audit fully. Additionally, the committee 
directs the Inspector General to provide an interim briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services and the House Committee 
on Foreign Affairs not later than November 30, 2018, on the 
manner that it intends to conduct such audit.

                         Foreign Military Sales

    A key element of the 2018 National Defense Strategy is to 
``strengthen alliances and attract new partners.'' The 
committee is aware that the Department of Defense is making 
progress instituting the security cooperation reforms contained 
in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 
(Public Law 114-328). The committee remains concerned, however, 
that the execution of foreign military sales (FMS) is not 
coordinated holistically across the Department to prioritize 
resources and effort in support of U.S. national security 
objectives and the defense industrial base. Consequently, 
acquisition decisions continue to be made in a stovepiped 
manner and without sufficient regard for the role of FMS. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services and 
the House Committee on Foreign Affairs by October 31, 2018, on 
the procedures instituted by the Department to integrate FMS 
and other security cooperation activities into the planning 
process for defense acquisition.
    Additionally, the committee notes that there are separate 
and disparate efforts across the Department that develop, 
negotiate, and implement foreign military sales for missile 
defense capability. This often leads to foreign partners not 
being provided price and availability for all potential systems 
that could meet their requirements, and the best solution to 
benefit both the partner nation and overall Department 
interests. Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary 
of Defense for Policy, in coordination with the Director of the 
Missile Defense Agency, Secretary of the Navy, and Secretary of 
the Army, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by November 30, 2018, on options to improve, 
consolidate, and streamline missile defense foreign military 
sales across the Department.
    Further, the committee believes that production of 
additional foreign military sales variants may help mitigate 
risk to the supplier base and overall production capacity for 
precision guided munitions. Elsewhere in this report the 
committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to ensure that 
the AIM-120 advanced medium-range air-to-air missiles 
production line is kept at or near full capacity whenever 
possible, either by increasing production to fill U.S. military 
requirements or by supplementing production for the U.S. 
military with higher FMS production.

   Improved Coordination of Activities in Africa With International 
                                Partners

    The committee is aware that international partners such as 
the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, the 
French Republic, Japan, and the United Arab Emirates, plus 
multinational organizations such as the European Union and 
African Union, and many others, conduct programs to build 
partner capacity in Africa. The committee is concerned that 
U.S. programs may be duplicative or in conflict with 
international partners' activities, or that gaps in 
capabilities are unaddressed.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in 
consultation with the Secretary of State, to provide a briefing 
to the House Committee on Armed Services and the House 
Committee on Foreign Affairs by October 31, 2018, on the steps 
being taken to coordinate security cooperation activities in 
Africa with international partners.

                  International Armaments Cooperation

    The committee appreciates that international armaments 
cooperation (IAC) involves cooperative research, development, 
test, and evaluation of defense technologies, systems, or 
equipment; joint production and follow-on support of defense 
articles or equipment; and procurement of foreign technology, 
equipment, systems or logistics support. The committee further 
appreciates that the Office of the Director of International 
Cooperation and the IAC Directorate are charged with performing 
managerial roles with respect to these important functions. 
However, the committee questions whether IAC is sufficiently 
utilized for strategic purposes and questions whether the 
Office of the Director of International Cooperation and the IAC 
Directorate are optimally situated to contribute to long-term 
policy making and strategic oversight regarding Department of 
Defense security cooperation programs.
    Therefore, the committee encourages the Secretary of 
Defense to evaluate the status of IAC within the Department of 
Defense and to consider the merits of realigning the Office of 
the Director of International Cooperation and the IAC 
Directorate from the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Acquisition and Sustainment to the Office of the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Policy. The committee also directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by October 31, 2018, on IAC, the 
Office of the Director of International Cooperation, and the 
IAC Directorate. At a minimum, the briefing shall include the 
following:
    (1) a description of the dispositions, missions, roles, and 
responsibilities of all departmental offices with a role in IAC 
(to include the Office of the Director of International 
Cooperation, the IAC Directorate, and the Defense Security 
Cooperation Agency);
    (2) an assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of 
the current organizational and operational structures related 
to IAC (to include the placement of the Office of the Director 
of International Cooperation and the IAC Directorate);
    (3) an assessment of the merits of realigning the Office of 
the Director of International Cooperation or the IAC 
Directorate to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Policy; and
    (4) a discussion of the steps that have been, or may be, 
taken by the Department of Defense to improve IAC to achieve 
strategic objectives.

            Multilateral Cooperation on the Korean Peninsula

    The committee supports efforts between United States Forces 
Korea and the United Nations Command Sending States and certain 
countries to augment U.S. forces and forces of the Republic of 
Korea on the Korean peninsula.
    The committee is pleased to see cooperation and 
participation among the United States, South Korea, United 
Nations Command Sending States, and certain countries in 
combined defense exercises. The committee further believes that 
these allies and partners can continue to play a vital role in 
contributing military assets for contingencies and capabilities 
in the naval and maritime domain as well as participating in 
training and exercises.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the component commands, to provide a 
briefing to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives not later than December 1, 2018, on 
recommendations to strengthen coordination with liaison 
components and to broaden such cooperation, including 
information sharing, training and exercise opportunities, and 
integration and planning of multi-national forces into existing 
arrangements between the United States and South Korea.

Naval Mine Countermeasure Capability in the U.S. Central Command's Area 
                             of Operations

    The committee recognizes the importance of the U.S. Navy's 
mine countermeasures (MCM) capability in protecting the free 
flow of commerce through the Suez Canal, the Strait of Hormuz, 
and the Bab al Mandeb Strait.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than September 30, 2018, on the MCM platforms that 
are capable of being readily deployed to U.S. Central Command's 
area of operations. This briefing should describe available MCM 
platforms, the time that would be required to clear relevant 
sea lanes of the mine threats posed by regional state and non-
state actors including the Islamic Republic of Iran, the extent 
to which MCM training and exercises focus on potential mining 
contingencies in Middle Eastern waterways, and, if applicable, 
the extent to which U.S. MCM shortfalls could be covered by 
partner-country capabilities.

           Non-Standard Acquisition in Foreign Military Sales

    The committee is aware that foreign partners are 
increasingly considering U.S.-made capabilities through Foreign 
Military Sales (FMS) that are not currently a Department of 
Defense program of record. For FMS purposes, a non-standard 
article is one that the Department of Defense does not manage, 
either because an applicable end item has been retired or 
because it was never purchased for Department components; a 
non-standard service is one that the Department of Defense does 
not routinely provide for itself or for purchase. Likewise, the 
Department's building partner capacity (BPC) programs include 
acquisition of non-standard articles and services under defense 
security cooperation train and equip authorities. Consequently, 
there is an increasing need for the Department of Defense to 
provide adequate program-level support so that these systems 
can be sold to international partners and supported over the 
life-cycle of the program.
    The committee is also aware that the military departments 
have, on a case-by-case basis, established program offices to 
support the foreign sale of certain non-standard articles. The 
committee is concerned, however, that these ad hoc efforts do 
not provide the support necessary to manage foreign partners' 
acquisition of non-standard articles and services across the 
Department of Defense in a holistic manner.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to conduct a review of the acquisition of non-standard articles 
and services for FMS and BPC programs, and to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services and the House 
Committee on Foreign Affairs by October 31, 2018, on the 
results of the review. The briefing shall include the following 
with respect to foreign partners' acquisition of non-standard 
articles and services through FMS or BPC programs:
    (1) a description of current processes and procedures;
    (2) an overview of previous programs, and an assessment of 
future opportunities for such programs;
    (3) the various options the Department of Defense could use 
to address this issue, including the advantages and 
disadvantages of each and funding requirements;
    (4) statutory, regulatory, policy, or funding constraints 
related to the options in (3); and
    (5) any other matter the Secretary considers appropriate.

                       Report on New START Treaty

    The committee notes that the New START Treaty entered into 
force in 2011 and is set to expire in 2021 but may be extended 
for a period of an additional five years. U.S. Strategic 
Command Commander General Hyten stated in March 2017 before the 
House Armed Services Committee that ``I've stated for the 
record in the past, and I'll state again, that I'm a big 
supporter of the New START Agreement.'' In addition, the 
committee notes that Air Force deputy chief of staff for 
strategic deterrence General Weinstein also stated in March 
2017 that ``The reason you do a treaty is not to cut forces but 
to maintain strategic stability among world powers. And the New 
START Treaty allowed us to maintain [that stability]. I think 
there is a huge value with what the New START Treaty has 
provided . . . So I think the New START Treaty has been good, 
been good for us.''
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff, to 
provide a report to the congressional defense committees no 
later than November 15, 2018, on whether, and if so, the 
reasons that, the New START Treaty, and the extension of the 
treaty as of the date of the report, is in the national 
security interests of the United States.

 Report on U.S. Casualty Estimates for Armed Conflict With North Korea

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services, not later than 
September 30, 2018, and again 180 days thereafter, on the U.S. 
casualty estimates for likely scenarios of an armed conflict 
with North Korea. The reports should be unclassified, but each 
may contain a classified annex.

                  Security and Stability in Venezuela

    The committee is concerned about the degradation of 
democratic institutions, security and stability, and human 
rights violations in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela 
during the authoritarian rule of President Nicol s Maduro. 
President Maduro's leadership tenure has produced economic, 
political, and security instability in Venezuela.
    The severe humanitarian crisis unfolding in Venezuela 
includes inflation exceeding 1,100 percent, massive shortages 
in food and medical supplies, and a near complete collapse of 
social services. The committee notes this crisis is directly 
impacting the Republic of Colombia with an estimated 500,000 
Venezuelans seeking refuge there.
    The committee recognizes that hundreds of thousands more 
vulnerable members of the Venezuelan population could 
potentially migrate to Colombia and other neighboring countries 
to seek safety and opportunity. This migration could have 
impacts on stability throughout South America.
    Therefore, the committee urges the Department of Defense, 
in close conjunction with other U.S. agencies, to monitor the 
economic, security, and political situation in Venezuela 
closely and to continue working with the government of Colombia 
and other regional partners to assist the Venezuelan refugee 
population and resolve the crisis.

                        Support to Syrian Women

    The committee notes the efforts of nongovernmental 
organizations that have successfully increased the inclusion of 
Syrian women in local and provincial governance. The committee 
further notes that women have been instrumental to humanitarian 
aid efforts at the local level in Syria, and have helped keep 
schools, hospitals, and basic services running in their 
communities. Women serve on local councils, advise local police 
departments, and are being trained to hold forums and town 
halls in their communities.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense in 
coordination with the Secretary of State to provide the House 
Armed Services Committees no later than December 1, 2018 a 
briefing on any efforts to support appropriately vetted Syrian 
opposition forces as defined in section 1209 of the Carl Levin 
and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat. 3541) 
in their efforts to increase the inclusion of women in security 
and governance processes. Additionally, the briefing shall 
include any plans to initiate or expand such efforts in the 
future.

  Tactical Wheeled Vehicle Support to the Afghan National Defense and 
                            Security Forces

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense works 
closely with the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces 
(ANDSF) to provide protected mobility as well as a wide-range 
of other capabilities based on military requirements, including 
ANDSF priorities as well as the ANDSF's capability to maintain 
and sustain such equipment. The committee understands the 
Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan (CSTC-A) 
conducted a tactical wheeled vehicle (TWV) optimization study 
in 2016 in support of the ANDSF with a focus on creating a 
sustainable, affordable, and effective fleet that would 
increase combat capability and force protection for occupants. 
It is unclear to the committee whether this study considered 
providing excess defense article mine resistant ambush 
protected (MRAP) vehicles to the ANDSF. The committee notes 
there are several thousand MRAP vehicles categorized as Excess 
Defense Articles (EDA) in the Department's inventory that could 
potentially be used to address protected mobility requirements 
for the ANDSF. The committee is aware the ANDSF are using MRAP 
vehicles and notes these vehicles provide for increased 
survivability and offensive power in combat operations. 
Further, the committee is aware of a recent letter of request 
by the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan for 738 MRAP vehicles.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Policy, in consultation with the Director, Defense 
Security Cooperation Agency, to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by October 30, 2018, on the cost, 
operational survivability, and sustainability of EDA MRAP 
vehicles for the ANDSF, the status of the most recent letter of 
request for 738 MRAP vehicles for the ANDSF, and whether MRAP 
vehicles were considered as part of the most recent TWV 
optimization study conducted by CSTC-A. The briefing should 
also take into account cost, blast protection level, 
catastrophic losses to date of vehicles and numbers of Afghan 
soldiers killed in vehicles damaged by improvised explosive 
devices.

           Trans-Saharan Counterterrorism Partnership (TSCTP)

    The committee recognizes the threat posed by terrorist 
groups such as al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), Boko 
Haram, and ISIS West Africa, and that such threat poses risks 
to the stabilization of countries in West Africa and the Sahel.
    The committee emphasizes that countering terrorism 
throughout Western Africa and the Sahel requires enhancing 
regional border security, tracking illicit financial flows, 
building law enforcement capacity, and strengthening the rule 
of law. In order to promote stable and strong institutions 
throughout Western Africa and the Sahel, a whole of government 
approach is called for, leveraging State Department-led 
diplomatic efforts, military-to-military relationships 
developed and led by U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), and 
development projects carried out by the U.S. Agency for 
International Development (USAID).
    The Trans-Saharan Counterterrorism Partnership (TSCTP) 
developed in 2005 by the Department of Defense (AFRICOM), 
Department of State, and USAID was created to support national 
and regional institutions in the region working with regional 
governments and European partners bordering the Mediterranean.
    The committee encourages the Trans-Saharan Counterterrorism 
Partnership to continue with regular interagency coordination 
and engagement with regional partners and allies.
    The Committee directs the Office of the Secretary of 
Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, to 
provide a briefing to the House Committees on Armed Services 
and Foreign Affairs by March 1, 2019 on the Trans-Saharan 
Counterterrorism Partnership including any activities or 
partner engagement related to military, counter-terrorism, and 
law-enforcement capacity-building, as well as public diplomacy 
and information operations.

             U.S. Military Education and Training Locations

    The committee recognizes the importance of U.S. military 
leadership in advancing the North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization's mission to guarantee freedom and security in the 
alliance and around the world. As the 75th anniversary of D-Day 
and the allied invasion of Normandy, France, approaches, the 
committee notes the significance of this event in history. As 
such, the committee believes the Cotentin Peninsula could serve 
as a potential location for Department of Defense activities to 
grow global partnerships and alliances.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services and 
the Senate Committee on Armed Services not later than December 
1, 2018, on the feasibility (including cost and availability of 
any suitable locations for potential activities) of activities 
to grow global partnerships and alliances on the Cotentin 
Peninsula prior to the 75th anniversary of the D-Day invasion 
in June 2019.

  Western Hemisphere Region Report on Strategy To Increase Engagement 
                              With Region

    It is the sense of Congress that the security, stability, 
and prosperity of the Western Hemisphere region are vital to 
the national interests of the United States. The United States 
has a military capability in the Western Hemisphere region that 
builds goodwill and is able to project power, build partner 
capacity, deter acts of aggression, and respond, if necessary, 
to natural disasters, regional threats or to threats to the 
national security of the United States by the activities of 
actors, such as Iran, China, Russia, North Korea, transnational 
criminal organizations, or terrorist organizations in the 
region. The Committee believes continuing efforts by the 
Department of Defense to increase investments in the Western 
Hemisphere are necessary to build and maintain a robust United 
States commitment to the region.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Secretary of State, to submit a report 
to the congressional defense committees, the Committee on 
Foreign Relations of the Senate, and the Committee on Foreign 
Affairs of the House of Representatives by April 1, 2019, that 
contains a strategy on effective U.S. defense engagement with 
the Western Hemisphere region, a plan to implement that 
strategy, and any additional funding requirements to implement 
such strategy. The strategy shall address each of the 
following:
    (1) The security challenges, including threats, emanating 
from the Western Hemisphere region, including from natural 
disasters, and any capability gaps in United States defense 
posture to the region;
    (2) The security threats to the United States or to its 
interests in the Western Hemisphere region from the engagement 
of Iran, China, Russia, and North Korea in the region, with a 
specific focus on Iran's engagement in the Tri-Border region of 
South America, Bolivia, and Venezuela and Russian engagement in 
Nicaragua, Cuba, and Venezuela;
    (3) The counterintelligence threats to the United States 
from Cuba and the role of Cuba in supporting the Venezuelan 
government;
    (4) The threats to the United States from transregional and 
transnational threat networks, including in drug trafficking, 
illegal mining, deforestation, human trafficking, and other 
illicit activities;
    (5) The threats to the United States from the links of the 
Venezuelan government with drug trafficking and transnational 
criminal organizations and corrupt government actors in the 
region;
    (6) Department of Defense plans, force posture, 
capabilities, and resources to address any gaps in 
intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, or counter-
intelligence capabilities in the region; and
    (7) The allies, partners, and other countries in the region 
that the Defense Department has prioritized for increased 
cooperation and a description of the areas of proposed 
increased cooperation.

                         LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS


                  Subtitle A--Assistance and Training


  Section 1201--Report on the Use of Security Cooperation Authorities

    This section would express the sense of Congress that the 
Secretary of Defense should use appropriate security 
cooperation authorities to counter the malign influence 
campaigns that are directed at allies and partners and that 
pose a significant threat to the United States. This section 
would also require the Secretary of Defense to include a report 
on funding for this purpose with the consolidated budget 
materials for security cooperation required by section 381 of 
title 10, United States Code, in fiscal year 2020 through 
fiscal year 2025.
    The committee recognizes that Department of Defense 
programs aimed at building partner capacity, such as those 
authorized under section 333(a) of title 10, United States 
Code, have largely focused on building counterterrorism 
capabilities in allies and partners. However, with the security 
cooperation reforms contained in the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) and 
the evolving security environment, the committee urges the 
Department to develop capabilities with key allies and partners 
that will enable them to counter and mitigate the impact of 
malign influence campaigns by competitors or adversaries.

Section 1202--Clarification of Authority To Waive Certain Expenses for 
        Activities of the Regional Centers for Security Studies

participation in and support of the Inter-American Defense 
College and would transfer such authority to chapter 16 of 
title 10, United States Code. This section would further 
require that Department of Defense participation in, and host 
nation support of, the Inter-American Defense College shall be 
in accordance with a memorandum of understanding between the 
Department and the Inter-American Defense Board, with Secretary 
of State concurrence, and that such memorandum of understanding 
shall provide details of any cost-sharing or funding 
arrangements, a curriculum, and a plan for academic program 
development.

Section 1206--Increase in Cost Limitation for Small Scale Construction

  Section 1208--Review and Report on Processes and Procedures Used to 
         Carry Out Section 362 of Title 10, United States Code

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense, with 
the concurrence of the Secretary of State, to conduct a review 
of the processes and procedures used to carry out section 362 
of title 10, United States Code, and submit a report to the 
appropriate congressional committees on such review. This 
section would also make conforming amendments to section 362 
and to section 1206 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' 
McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 
(Public Law 113-291).

        Subtitle B--Matters Relating to Afghanistan and Pakistan


 Section 1211--Extension of Authority To Transfer Defense Articles and 
    Provide Defense Services to the Military and Security Forces of 
                              Afghanistan

    This section would extend the authority to transfer defense 
articles being drawn down in the Islamic Republic of 
Afghanistan and the authority to provide defense services 
regarding such transfers to the military and security forces of 
Afghanistan.

   Section 1212--Extension of Authority for Reimbursement of Certain 
   Coalition Nations for Support Provided to United States Military 
                               Operations

    This section would extend through December 31, 2019, the 
authority to make Coalition Support Fund (CSF) payments under 
section 1233 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181).
    This section would also maintain the limitations enacted in 
section 1233 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), which provided that of 
the funds authorized for CSF, not more than $700.0 million may 
be provided to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan, and of that 
amount, not more than $350.0 million may be provided until the 
Secretary of Defense certified that Pakistan is taking 
demonstrable steps against the Haqqani Network.
    The committee notes that elsewhere in this Act, it has 
fully authorized the President's budget request of $900.0 
million for fiscal year 2019 for CSF payments.

   Section 1213--Extension and Modification of Commanders' Emergency 
                            Response Program

    This section would extend the Commanders' Emergency 
Response Program through 2020 and would modify the eligibility 
to include Somalia, Yemen, and Libya.

             Section 1214--Report on Assistance to Pakistan

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
submit a report to the congressional defense committees not 
later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act 
describing the manner in which the Department provides 
assistance to the Government of Pakistan.

         Subtitle C--Matters Relating to Syria, Iraq, and Iran


   Section 1221--Extension and Modification of Authority To Provide 
       Assistance to Counter the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria

    This section would extend the authority to provide 
assistance to counter the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. This 
section would also authorize a funding level of $850.0 million 
for such support in Iraq.
    The committee notes that some U.S.-provided equipment has 
inadvertently fallen into the hands of groups that operate 
outside of the control of the central Government of the 
Republic of Iraq and the Kurdish Regional Government. The 
committee urges the Department of Defense to evaluate its 
current safeguards to ensure that equipment is properly stored 
and maintained.

   Section 1222--Extension of Authority To Provide Assistance to the 
                        Vetted Syrian Opposition

    This section would extend and modify section 1209 of the 
Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) by 
extending the ``Syria train and equip'' program and the 
reprogramming requirement through December 31, 2019.
    Further, this section would require the President to submit 
to the congressional defense committees a plan at least 30 days 
prior to an initial reprogramming request in fiscal year 2019. 
The plan would describe the efforts the United States will take 
to train and build an appropriately vetted force; the nature of 
the force; the current effectiveness of the force; the 
conditions to be met for a determination that the Islamic State 
in Iraq and Syria has been adequately neutralized; the roles 
and contributions of partner countries; the concept of

   Section 1223--Extension and Modification of Authority To Support 
Operations and Activities of the Office of Security Cooperation in Iraq

    This section would extend the authority for the Office of 
Security Cooperation in Iraq (OSC-I) through December 31, 2019. 
The committee recognizes that OSC-I will manage U.S. security 
cooperation with the Republic of Iraq over the long term and 
expects the Department of Defense to ensure, to the extent 
practicable, that the Government of Iraq is able to sustain and 
maintain U.S.-provided equipment throughout the lifespan of 
such equipment.

  Section 1224--Sense of Congress on Ballistic Missile Cooperation to 
                              Counter Iran

    This section would express the sense of Congress that the 
Gulf Cooperation Council member countries should take 
meaningful steps to build an interoperable ballistic missile 
defense architecture with emphasis on information sharing, 
including early warning and tracking data, to defend against 
the Islamic Republic of Iran missile threat.

   Section 1225--Strategy To Counter Destabilizing Activities of Iran

    This section would authorize the Secretary of Defense, with 
concurrence of the Secretary of State, to develop and implement 
a strategy with foreign partners to counter the destabilizing 
activities of Iran. Under such a strategy, partners and allies 
would commit to collaborating with the United States on a 
variety of efforts, including but not limited to investing in 
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance platforms, mine 
countermeasures resources, integrated air and missile defense, 
and cybersecurity; engaging in combined planning, defense 
education, and institution building; and sharing information.
    Further, this section would require the Secretary of 
Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to submit 
a report to the congressional defense committees and the 
Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate and the Committee 
on Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives, on the 
strategy and the actions taken by partners and allies.

 Section 1226--Report on Compliance of Iran Under the Chemical Weapons 
                               Convention

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense, in 
consultation with the Secretary of State, to submit a report to 
the House Committee on Armed Services and the House Committee 
on Foreign Affairs by February 1, 2019, assessing the extent to 
which Iran is complying with its obligations under the Chemical 
Weapons Convention.

   Section 1227--Report on Potential Release of Chemical Weapons or 
Chemical Weapons Precursors From Barzeh Research and Development Center 
and Him Shinshar Chemical Weapons Storage and Bunker Facilities in Homs 
                           Province of Syria

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a report to the congressional defense committees within 
30 days after the date of the enactment of this Act on the 
analysis for potential release of chemical weapons or chemical 
weapon precursors, conducted prior to U.S. and partner forces 
strikes on the Barzeh Research and Development Center and the 
Him Shinshar chemical weapons storage and bunker facilities in 
Homs province of Syria in April 2018.

   Section 1228--Report on Cooperation Between Iran and the Russian 
                               Federation

    This provision would require a report each year for the 
next 5 years on military and security cooperation between the 
Islamic Republic of Iran and the Russian Federation, 
particularly in respect to Syria. The report would further 
cover Russian and Iranian intelligence-sharing, joint naval 
exercises, joint cooperation on Iran's space and nuclear 
programs, Russian cooperation with Hezbollah, and the potential 
that Iran will adopt Russia's hybrid warfare model.

         Subtitle D--Matters Relating to the Russian Federation


    Section 1231--Prohibition on Availability of Funds Relating to 
           Sovereignty of the Russian Federation over Crimea

    This section would extend by 1 year the prohibition imposed 
by section 1245 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), as amended by section 
1232 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2018 (Public Law 115-91). This section would prohibit the use 
of fiscal year 2019 funds to implement any activity that 
recognizes the sovereignty of the Russian Federation over 
Crimea. This section would also allow the Secretary of Defense, 
in concurrence with the Secretary of State, to waive the 
prohibition if the Secretary determines that doing so would be 
in the national security interest of the United States and 
submits a notification to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and the House of Representatives, the Committee on 
Foreign Relations of the Senate, and the Committee on Foreign 
Affairs of the House of Representatives.

     Section 1232--Limitation on Availability of Funds Relating to 
                Implementation of the Open Skies Treaty

    The committee is aware that the Department of State's 2018 
arms control compliance report, also known as the ``Report on 
Adherence to and Compliance with Arms Control, 
Nonproliferation, and Disarmament Agreements and Commitments'', 
submitted pursuant to section 2593a of title 22, United States 
Code, continues to find the Russian Federation in violation of 
numerous provisions of the Treaty on Open Skies. Consistent 
with prior National Defense Authorization Acts, the committee 
believes legislation is appropriate and required to oversee the 
implementation of this treaty.
    This section would prohibit the use of funding authorized 
in this Act for fiscal year 2019 for the purposes of upgrading 
or modernizing certain Treaty on Open Skies systems until such 
time as the President (or the Secretary of State) is able to 
certify that the President has imposed treaty violations 
responses and legal countermeasures.
    This section would also limit the use of funding authorized 
in this Act or any other Act for fiscal year 2019 for the 
approval or adoption of any implementing decision in the Open 
Skies Consultative Commission concerning approval of a request 
by states parties to certify infra-red or synthetic aperture 
radar sensors under the treaty. Such funding would be 
restricted until:
    (1) the Secretary of Defense, jointly with the relevant 
U.S. Government officials, submits a certification that an 
implementing decision would not be harmful or detrimental to 
the national security of the United States, as well as a report 
on certain matters has been submitted to the appropriate 
congressional committees; and
    (2) the President has certified, not later than 90 days 
prior to a decision taking effect, that Russia is in complete 
compliance with the treaty, is allowing observation flights 
over certain specified regions, and it has agreed to certain 
conditions (including the extradition of Russian citizens 
involved in undertaking unlawful activities against the United 
States incident to the 2016 Presidential election, it has 
withdrawn from Crimea and ceased support to Russian proxies in 
Eastern Ukraine, and has ceased all military and financial 
support for any state that uses or has used against its 
civilian population any agent or substance banned by the 
Chemical Weapons Convention).
    The President would be permitted to waive the limitation 
subject to certain conditions.
    The section would also permit the Secretary to cease 
operation of treaty aircraft for safety of flight.

   Section 1233--Comprehensive Response to the Russian Federation's 
                   Material Breach of the INF Treaty

    This section would state a series of findings concerning 
Russian Federation violations of the INF Treaty. This section 
would also state that it is the policy of the United States 
that Russia has defeated the object and purpose of the treaty, 
is in material breach of the treaty, and as a result the U.S. 
is legally entitled to suspend the operation of the treaty in 
whole or in part for so long as the Russian Federation 
continues to be in material breach of the treaty.
    This section would additionally withhold 25 percent of the 
funding authorized to be appropriated by this Act for 
Department support to the Executive Office of the President, 
other than funding required for senior leader communications, 
until the President certifies that each requirement of section 
1290 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2017 (Public Law 114-328) has been met; that the President has 
notified the appropriate congressional committees of the 
imposition of sanctions pursuant to section 1290 of that Act; 
and, that the President has submitted the report required by 
section 1244(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91).
    The committee notes that because the requirements of 
section 1244(b)(2) of Public Law 115-91 have not been satisfied 
as of this report, the restriction on $50.0 million in fiscal 
year 2018 authorized funding for the Special Mission Area of 
the Defense Information Systems Agency remains in place.
    The committee is aware that the State Department's 2018 
arms control compliance report, also known as the Report on 
Adherence to and Compliance With Arms Control, 
Nonproliferation, and Disarmament Agreements and Commitments, 
submitted pursuant to section 2593a of title 22, United States 
Code, continues to find Russia in violation of the Treaty on 
the Elimination of Intermediate-Range and Shorter-Range 
Missiles (INF Treaty), specifically the obligations not to 
possess, produce, or flight-test a ground-launched missile with 
a range capability of 500 kilometers to 5,500 kilometers. Each 
National Defense Authorization Act since fiscal year 2014 has 
included measures to pressure Russia to return to compliance 
with the treaty and to ensure Russia cannot obtain a military 
advantage by its violations of the treaty. The committee 
believes time is running out for Russia to take actions that 
will allow for the preservation of the treaty.

                               Initiative

    This section would extend by 2 years section 1250 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public 
Law 114-92), most recently amended by section 1234 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public 
Law 115-91), to authorize the Secretary of Defense to provide 
security assistance and intelligence support to the Government 
of Ukraine. This section would also authorize $250.0 million to 
carry out this authority in fiscal year 2019.
    The committee recognizes the essential role played by U.S. 
and partner assistance in training, advising, and equipping 
Ukrainian military and security forces, including the 
invaluable contributions of the National Guard through the 
State Partnership Program, and urges the Defense Department to

conducted at the International Peacekeeping and Security Center 
in Yavoriv, Ukraine, and similar locations.
    The committee commends the administration for providing 
defensive lethal assistance through Foreign Military Financing 
in the past year to the Government of Ukraine to support its 
efforts to protect and defend its territorial integrity. The

Government of Ukraine and encourages the Department to consider 
USAI as a source of funds for future defensive lethal 
assistance.

any further action with respect to sites identified for

Infrastructure Consolidation (EIC) initiative until the report 
was submitted to the congressional defense committees.
    As the section 1273 report has not been submitted in 
compliance with the statutory requirement, the committee 
believes the limitation of the divestiture of sites under the 
EIC is still in place.

the new sanctions provided in this section in certain specified 
circumstances.
    This section would also amend section 231 of the Countering 
America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (Public Law 115-
44), by providing an authority to suspend the imposition of 
sanctions under that Act for 180-day periods in the event a 
person demonstrates that they are directly supporting U.S. 
national security objectives and have taken specified steps, 
including terminating defense relationships with Russia, or 
reducing reliance upon the Russian defense or intelligence 
sectors.
    Finally, all provisions or amendments made by this section 
would expire in 5 years.

    This section would provide that, unless the President 
certifies to the specified congressional committees that the 
Russian Federation has returned to full and verifiable 
compliance with the INF Treaty within 1 year of the date of the

of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty would no longer 
be binding upon the United States as a matter of U.S. law.

    This section would direct the Secretary of Defense to 
conduct a comprehensive assessment, in consultation with 
appropriate counterparts of Taiwan, on ways to enhance and 
reform Taiwan's military forces, particularly Taiwan's reserve 
forces. The assessment would also require the development of 
recommendations to strengthen bilateral cooperation and improve

and certifies to the appropriate committees of Congress that it 
is important for increasing maritime security and maritime 
domain awareness. This section would also extend the authority 
by 3 years from September 30, 2020, to September 30, 2023.

several conforming amendments pursuant to the name change.
    The committee notes that changing the name from ``United

committees, the Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate

utilizing authorized programs and activities under chapter 16

including the Republic of Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, the 
Republic of Kosovo, and the Republic of Macedonia.
    The committee is concerned about long-term stability and 
security in the Western Balkans region. Ethnic tensions, 
economic challenges, and malign outside influences are 
contributing to the instability of the region. The committee 
remains concerned about the upcoming elections in Bosnia and 
Herzegovina. Since the signing of the Dayton Accords in 1995, 
Bosnia and Herzegovina has maintained growth in developing 
democratic institutions and elections. The committee encourages 
the Government of Bosnia and Herzegovina to promptly and 
effectively address their constitutional challenges and hold 
fair and free elections in October 2018.
    The committee remains deeply concerned over the Russian 
Federation's intensifying efforts to assert its influence in 
the Western Balkans. The committee condemns Russia's 
involvement in the attempted coup against the Government of the 
newest member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), 
Montenegro, in October 2016. The committee is also concerned 
about Russian information operations in the Balkans including 
propaganda and efforts to highlight lingering ethnic tensions.
    The committee is encouraged by the strong partnerships that 
continue to develop in the Western Balkans with the United 
States. These partnerships are vital to increase security, 
stability, and prosperity in the region. The committee also 
encourages European partners and allies to strengthen 
relationships in the region as well. The committee is hopeful 
about, and supportive of, the continued work of many in the 
region toward goals of integrating into the Euro-Atlantic 
community, including NATO and the European Union (EU). The 
continued forward progress by these nations toward accession 
into NATO and the EU provides a stable framework from which to 
achieve greater stability and security throughout Central 
Europe. The committee notes that the Department of Defense 
should continue to increase military-to-military cooperation 
and engagements in the region.

States Code, to update the statutory reference to reflect a 
reorganization of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) 
with respect to the elimination of the NATO Support 
Organization and the establishment of the NATO Support and 
Procurement Organization. This section would also amend section 
2350d to reflect that NATO supply and logistics support 
activities may extend to NATO operations outside of Europe.

assessment as to whether or not it falls within U.S. national

research funding provide the Secretary information concerning 
whether they have participated, or are currently participating, 
in foreign talent or expert recruitment programs of certain 
countries.
    The Secretary would be required to implement such

                TITLE XIII--COOPERATIVE THREAT REDUCTION

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


           Future of the Cooperative Threat Reduction Program

    The committee notes the successful history of the Nunn-
Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction (CTR) program, including the 
pivotal role it played in securing former Soviet Union nuclear 
material and delivery platforms, the destruction of Russian and 
Syrian chemical weapons, and the securing of sensitive 
biological laboratories around the world. In response to an 
evolving threat landscape, Congress has provided modifications 
to the original program to address current requirements for 
threat reduction and the proliferation of weapons of mass 
destruction (WMD) by state and non-state actors around the 
globe.
    The committee is aware that additional opportunities may 
exist for enhanced cooperation with allies and partners to 
address emerging proliferation concerns and WMD threats, such 
as those on the Korean Peninsula. The committee notes, however, 
that interagency coordination, expeditious project approval, 
prioritization, measuring program effectiveness, and policy 
gaps continue to pose challenges to effective and efficient 
utilization of CTR by the Department of Defense, despite 
efforts for improvement.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
December 1, 2018, on how to strengthen the CTR program so that 
it may be better leveraged for emerging threat reduction and 
proliferation concerns in an efficient and expeditious manner.

                         LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS


                   Section 1301--Funding Allocations

each program under the Department of Defense Cooperative Threat 
Reduction (CTR) Program from within the overall $335.2 million 
that the committee would authorize for the CTR Program. The 
allocation under this section reflects the amount of the budget 
request for fiscal year 2019.

   Section 1302--Specification of Cooperative Threat Reduction Funds

    This section would specify that funds authorized to be 
appropriated to the Department of Defense for the Cooperative 
Threat Reduction Program, established under the Department of 
Defense Cooperative Threat Reduction Act (50 U.S.C. 3711), 
would be available for obligation in fiscal years 2019, 2020, 
and 2021.

   TITLE XV--AUTHORIZATION OF ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR OVERSEAS 
                         CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


         Cargo Inspections To Counter Vehicle Borne IED Threats

    The Committee is encouraged that the Department of the Army 
is testing and planning to deploy new passive cargo inspection 
technologies to address a joint urgent operational need to 
counter Vehicle Borne Improvised Explosive Device (VBIED) 
threats. This disruptive technology, which utilizes naturally 
occurring cosmic ray muons and electrons, identifies shielded 
and unshielded nuclear and radioactive materials; detects 
smuggled contraband, including weapons, bombmaking materials, 
and illicit goods; and is proven safe for humans, animals, and 
food products. The Committee encourages the Army to continue 
with the current testing program and supports efforts to deploy 
the system at a major US military facility. Further, the 
Committee requests a briefing 60 days after the enactment of 
this bill on the potential future deployments of these next 
generation inspection technologies inside and outside the 
continental United States. The briefing, which may be provided 
in a classified setting, shall include an assessment of current 
cargo inspection protocols and requirement gaps that may exist.

         National Guard and Reserve Component Equipment Account

    The budget request for Overseas Contingency Operations 
(OCO) contained no funding for a National Guard and Reserve 
Component equipment account. Elsewhere as reflected in division 
D of this Act, the committee notes that the base budget request 
contained $3.4 billion for procurement of National Guard and 
Reserve Component equipment and $219.9 million in the OCO 
request for Army National Guard and Army Reserve other 
procurement programs.
    The committee remains concerned about the availability of 
equipment needed to sustain and modernize the National Guard 
and Reserve Components as an operational reserve and for their 
domestic support missions. The committee notes that National 
Guard and Reserve Components are often reliant upon overused 
and outdated equipment, creating a widening capability gap with 
the Active Component, and have been unable to maintain pace 
with rapid technological change. The committee believes 
additional funds are required to address identified equipment 
shortfalls and improve compatibility with Active Components. 
The committee expects these funds to be used for the purposes 
of, but not limited to, the procurement of rotorcraft; avionic 
and radar upgrades for legacy strike fighter aircraft to 
include Navy Reserve F-18 strike fighters; wheeled and tracked 
combat vehicles; tactical wheeled vehicles; ammunition; small 
arms; tactical radios (to include single channel ground and 
airborne radio systems); UH-72A Lakota survivability upgrades; 
UH-60 disaster response equipment, such as rescue hoists, water 
buckets, and radios; non-system training devices; vehicle 
convoy operations trainers; unstabilized gunnery trainers and 
virtual convoy operations trainers; sense and avoid system 
upgrades for unmanned air systems; and explosive ordnance 
disposal man-portable robots & lightweight X-ray systems and 
other unfunded procurement items for the National Guard and 
Reserve Components.
    The committee recommends additional funding for a National 
Guard and Reserve Component equipment account within the 
Overseas Contingency Operations budget request. The committee 
also recommends $3.4 billion, the full amount of the base 
budget request, for National Guard and Reserve Component 
equipment and also recommends $219.9 million in the OCO request 
for Army National Guard and Army Reserve.

practicable, the efforts of the Government of the Islamic 
Republic of Afghanistan to promote the recruitment, training, 
and integration of Afghan women into the Afghan National 
Defense and Security Forces and as security personnel for 
future elections.
    This section would also require an assessment of the 
Government of Afghanistan's ability to manage, employ, and 
sustain equipment divested under the Afghan Security Forces 
Fund; if the results of said assessment are unfavorable, the 
Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of 
State, would be authorized to withhold assistance under the 
Afghanistan Security Forces Fund.

           Section 1522--Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Fund

    This section would amend subsections (b) and (c) of section

Fiscal Year 2007 (Public Law 109-364) to extend the use and 
transfer authority for the Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Fund 
through fiscal year 2019. This section would also extend the 
authority for interdiction of improvised explosive device 
precursor chemicals to December 31, 2019.
    This section would also direct the Secretary of Defense to 
submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives by March 1, 2019, a plan to 
transition funding for the Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Fund 
from Overseas Contingency Operations to the base budget.

     TITLE XVI--STRATEGIC PROGRAMS, CYBER, AND INTELLIGENCE MATTERS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                            Space Activities


        Briefing on Deployed Satellite Communications Terminals

    The committee notes that currently deployed satellite 
communications terminals may not meet the performance, the 
agility, timeliness, and weight requirements needed to provide 
secure satellite communications to naval and expeditionary 
forces. The committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
November 1, 2018, on the current validated requirements for the 
terminals and a plan, including applicability, operational 
capability and cost, for quickly fielding commercially 
available, secure, lightweight, satellite communications 
terminals, equipped with rapidly deployable antennas, in 
support of warfighter operations.

       Briefing on Supply Chain for In-Space Propulsion Thrusters

    The committee is aware that the Department of Defense and 
its suppliers rely on U.S., allied, and non-allied 
manufacturers for procurement of in-space propulsion thrusters. 
These thrusters are used on critical military satellites and 
the Committee is concerned that the presence of Russian origin 
thrusters on these satellites may constitute a security risk, 
particularly as the Department of Defense shifts towards the 
use of commercial off the shelf satellites.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing on the supply chain for in-space 
propulsion thrusters, whether the presence of allied or non-
allied thrusters increases risk, and if so how, options to 
mitigate any identified risks, and the cost implications of 
relying solely on U.S. sources to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by January 31, 2019.

                      Commercial Satellite Imagery

    The committee continues to support the National Geospatial-
Intelligence Agency's (NGA) continued acquisition of commercial 
satellite imagery in support of global geospatial-intelligence 
needs. The committee is also aware that NGA, working with the 
National Reconnaissance Office (NRO), is developing a joint 
transition plan to transfer commercial imagery pixel 
acquisition from NGA to NRO in fiscal year 2019, and expects 
continued focus and leveraging of these commercial capabilities 
to add to U.S. imagery capacity and capabilities.
    As this transition occurs, the committee believes it is 
essential to maintain continuity of operation, quality of 
service, cost-effective services, and capability for the 
warfighter and other user communities.
    Acquisition of commercial imagery should contract with 
several providers to leverage U.S. industry providers of 
global, high-resolution, and cost-effective services, with high 
revisit rates, and reliable performance including those that 
have demonstrated proven capability and those that are rapidly 
emerging within industry. Commercial synthetic aperture radar 
imagery can also provide day, night, and all-weather imagery in 
highly cloud covered regions.
    The committee directs the NGA Director and the NRO Director 
to jointly provide a briefing to the congressional defense 
committees and the congressional intelligence committees by 
August 1, 2018, on agency plans for the transition from NGA to 
NRO, and planned funding beyond fiscal year 2019, and on an 
open and fair competitive acquisition process to leverage 
industry capabilities, including but not limited to plans 
following the EnhancedView contract.

          Commercial Space Situational Awareness Capabilities

    The committee continues to be concerned with the direction 
of the multiple programs seeking to address space situational 
awareness (SSA) requirements, including Joint Space Operations 
Center Mission System, the Enterprise Space Battle Management 
Command and Control System, and the SSA Operations at the 
National Space Defense Center. The committee expects the Air 
Force to operationalize existing best of breed commercial 
capabilities to meet warfighter requirements.
    The committee supports the efforts being undertaken by the 
Air Force Research Laboratory and the Air Force Rapid 
Capabilities Office to develop common data standards and 
process commercial data to augment Department of Defense 
capabilities. The development of common data standards will be 
important to ensuring the broader multi-domain command and 
control efforts that are being undertaken within the Air Force.

           Criteria for Launch Service Agreement Down-Select

    The committee notes that the Secretary of the Air Force 
plans to make an initial down-select decision to three 
potential Expendable Evolved Launch Vehicle (EELV) launch 
providers for assured access to space in the summer of 2018, 
and plans to make a final award for launch service procurement 
contracts by the end of fiscal year 2019. The committee is 
aware that full-scale flight tests of new space launch vehicles 
may not occur until after this award is made.
    The committee therefore directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than October 1, 2018, on the criteria and 
sufficiency of test data that the Air Force will use to make 
the final launch service agreement awards by the end of fiscal 
year 2019, potentially ahead of fully integrated flight tests. 
The briefing should also include criteria and incentives that 
the Air Force will use to ensure that the contractors selected 
maintain schedule and fidelity in line with their contract 
bids.

                        GPS Backup Demonstration

    The committee continues to support the demonstration of 
backup and complementary positioning, navigation, and timing 
capabilities of the Global Positioning System (GPS) as required 
by section 1606 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91). The committee encourages 
the Secretary of Defense, Secretary of Transportation, and 
Secretary of Homeland Security to continue to work together to 
jointly develop and implement a plan for carrying out this 
backup GPS capability demonstration in 2019 and 2020. Further, 
the committee expects the Secretaries to submit the final 
report next year as required by Public Law 115-91. The 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the congressional defense committees by December 1, 
2018, on the progress being made on this demonstration.

            Launch Support and Infrastructure Modernization

    The committee is aware that the Air Force's launch support 
and modernization program required by section 1609 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public 
Law 115-91) covers the Eastern and Western Ranges, but does not 
include U.S. spaceports. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of the Air Force to provide a briefing to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives not later than September 14, 2018, on the 
potential benefits of including in this program U.S. spaceports 
and ranges that actively support national security missions, 
including benefits such as increasing resilience and rapid 
launch capability, and the estimated costs of including them.

             Launch Vehicle Upper Stage Mission Enhancement

    The committee is interested in the cost-effective 
development of advanced launch vehicle upper stages to be used 
for defense of our space assets. Advanced upper stages could 
increase the operational flexibility and on-orbit reusability 
of the holistic launch system while also allowing for greater 
delivery of mass to orbit.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the congressional defense committees by December 3, 
2018, on the benefits, risks, costs, and operational 
opportunities for next generation upper stage technology. The 
briefing should examine as appropriate on-orbit reusability, 
cryogenic refueling, multiple engine restarts, and power 
generation to support secondary payloads that can support space 
resiliency.

        Next Generation Overhead Persistent Infrared Satellites

    The committee supports the Department of Defense's efforts 
to improve the affordability, resiliency, and agility of 
Overhead Persistent Infrared Satellite systems that can be 
rapidly fielded as the battlespace changes. As adversaries 
challenge this capability, the Department must respond with 
technology upgrades in a rapid fashion to counter the threat by 
pursuing affordable systems with lifetimes under 7 years; 
disaggregated strategic missile warning, missile defense 
tracking, and battlespace awareness missions; smaller bus 
sizes; resilient mission architectures that can survive a loss 
of system nodes/satellites and still provide primary mission 
capability through complementary mission capabilities and both 
on-orbit and ground spares with the ability to rapidly 
reconstitute.
    The committee believes these efforts should be supported 
with robust prototyping to demonstrate the now disaggregated 
missions of strategic missile warning and battlespace awareness 
for increased resiliency: operational demonstrations to drive 
down operational interface risks and technical demonstrations 
to drive down technical risks so that technology insertion into 
our operational systems can be done in a low-risk fashion. 
Prototypes should have residual operational capability that can 
contribute immediately to the resilience of the mission.

    Plan for Use of Allied Launch Services in Case of Emergency Need

    The committee notes that a plan for the use of allied 
launch vehicles was mandated by section 1604 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328). This plan was to provide assured access to space should 
the Department of Defense be unable to meet that requirement 
for a limited period using only U.S. launch vehicles.
    In 2017, the Air Force provided to Congress a report that 
analyzed the initial potential of using an allied nation's 
launch vehicle and services for U.S. national security space 
launches. The committee commends the Air Force for providing 
this analysis. The committee notes the report identified a 
number of activities that have not been implemented, 
specifically regarding the pursuit of non-recurring design 
validation or certification of the allied launch system for 
specific payloads or reference missions, early integration 
studies of specific payloads, an environmental impact statement 
plus one year of standard mission integration and space-flight-
worthiness assessment, and the pursuit of a pathfinder mission. 
The committee further notes that additional capabilities may be 
needed to use allied launch capability in the event of an 
emergency and inability of U.S. launch providers to provide 
assured access to space.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services by December 3, 
2018, on an operational backup plan for assured access into 
space using allied launch vehicles. This plan shall include:
    (1) an assessment of U.S. satellites that would be 
appropriate to be launched on an allied launch vehicle;
    (2) relevant laws, regulations, and policies governing the 
launch of national security satellites;
    (3) whether any legislative, regulatory, or policy actions 
or changes would be necessary to allow for the launch of a 
national security satellite on an allied launch vehicle; and
    (4) the certification requirements for using allied launch 
vehicles pursuant to the plan and the estimated cost, schedule, 
and measures that would be necessary to certify allied launch 
vehicles.
    When creating this backup plan, the committee expects the 
Secretary to leverage findings identified by the previous Air 
Force report.

                Portable Satellite Data Receiver Status

    The committee notes that the United States Air Force 
Research Laboratory's Small Business Initiative Research has 
provided funding for the development of a unique satellite 
communications receive suite for reliable, portable connection 
by the warfighter to the Global Broadcast System (GBS). The 
committee is aware that the Department of Defense joint program 
office now includes these portable receive suites as an 
approved solution for receive technology with military 
satellite communications on the existing GBS network. The 
committee encourages the Department of Defense and the Air 
Force to ensure that these suites are made available to the 
warfighter.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
November 1, 2018, on a plan, including applicability and cost, 
for rapidly fielding commercially available, secure, satellite, 
Suitcase Portable Receive Suites and Rucksack Portable Receive 
Suites in support of deployed warfighter operations.

               Rapid Satellite Capability Reconstitution

    The committee recognizes the value that rapid 
reconstitution may contribute to increasing resilience in the 
space domain. The committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Research and Engineering to submit a report to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by January 15, 2019, on the 
needs and capabilities of the Department of Defense to rapidly 
reconstitute disaggregated Earth-orbiting satellite 
constellations. The report should include options for 
developing an approach for commercially acquiring, where cost 
effective, resilient and rapid launch services to support 
reconstitution, including but not limited to the feasibility of 
launching satellites within one week of need.

                        Satellite Communications

    The committee is aware that the Consolidated Appropriations 
Act, 2018 (Public Law 115-141) added two more Wideband Global 
Satellite Communications System (WGS) satellites. The committee 
also notes the increasing demand for satellite communications 
(SATCOM) capacity and the potential for increased contribution 
from commercial SATCOM providers. In addition, recognizing the 
growing capacity and resilience requirements, the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328) required that the pilot program required under section 
1605 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2015 (Public Law 113-291) provide order-of-magnitude 
improvements in SATCOM capability.
    The committee is aware of proven commercial SATCOM 
technology, including high capacity satellite communications 
technology, that delivers improvements in capacity and 
performance capabilities and supports operations in contested 
environments in a cost-effective manner. The committee supports 
the Department of Defense's request for multiyear procurement 
authority for these services.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the Committee on Armed Services of the 
House of Representatives by December 1, 2018, including:
    (1) the costs associated with the procurement, operations, 
and sustainment of the additional WGS satellites, including 
life-cycle costs, and costs related to operations and 
maintenance, and launch;
    (2) an update on the status of the Air Force commercial 
SATCOM pilot and pathfinder programs, including an update on 
fulfilling the order-of-magnitude requirement, an explanation 
of the steps the Department is taking to expedite the 
integration of commercially available high capacity satellite 
communications to meet the growing capacity demand and counter 
accelerating adversary communications denial capabilities, and 
whether the Air Force plans to use its existing authorities to 
solicit and award annual services contracts; and
    (3) a comprehensive plan to modernize terminals and 
networking capability needed to access and adopt new multi-
domain commercial communications technologies, multi-mode 
terminals and network.

               Space Flag Exercise and Responsive Launch

    The committee is encouraged that the budget request 
proposed creating a dedicated Air Force Space Procurement 
funding line to acquire affordable, flexible launch services to 
deliver spacelift capability for small payloads to low Earth 
orbit through geostationary transfer orbit. The committee 
supports the proposed Rocket System Launch Program procurement 
and encourages sustained investment to further operationalize 
integration of new small launch services into the space 
enterprise.
    The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 
(Public Law 115-91) also states that the Secretary of Defense 
should establish ``an annual capstone training event'' for 
space professionals to refine doctrine, operations, and 
training. This ``Space Flag'' exercise improves training to 
operate in the event of loss of space capabilities and to deter 
conflict in space. The U.S. Air Force concluded its second 
annual Space Flag exercise in August 2017 in Colorado Springs, 
Colorado.
    Demonstrating overt resolve and ability to rapidly 
replenish diminished capabilities could contribute to 
increasing resilience in space as it relates to operations, 
tactics, and procedures for protecting and defending U.S. 
assets. In addition, integrating responsive launch capabilities 
into the annual Space Flag event could be an important step in 
evolving space mission operations, and to test, train, and 
operationalize these capabilities.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the congressional defense 
committees by December 1, 2018, on the value, plans, 
requirements, and benefits of aligning the small launch 
activities of the Rocket System Launch Program with the annual 
Space Flag training exercise.

  Use of Commercial Items in Follow-On Wideband Communications System

    The committee supports efforts to conduct an analysis of 
alternatives for a follow-on wideband communications system to 
the Wideband Global Satellite Communications System as required 
by section 1611 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92). The committee encourages 
the Department of Defense's efforts to maximize the use of 
commercial satellite communications capabilities as required by 
section 2377 of title 10, United States Code.
    Section 2377 of title 10, United States Code, requires that 
Federal agencies maximize the use of commercial items in 
determining requirements and soliciting for procurements. To 
prevent critical satellite communications capability gaps and 
to field a follow-on wideband communications system by 2021, 
the Department must ensure that its market research is fully 
investigating the ability of a commercial offeror to meet the 
requirements of the Air Force's procurement needs on a 
commercial basis, in part or in full.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by June 30, 2018, on the Department's efforts to comply with 
section 2377 of title 10, United States Code, and on its 
analysis of alternatives for a follow-on wideband 
communications system.

                        Missile Defense Programs


                 Airborne Tracking and Targeting System

    The Committee notes that the Missile Defense Agency has 
been working on technologies to develop and test ballistic 
missile tracking and surveillance using MQ-9 Reaper unmanned 
aerial vehicles under an experimental program. The Committee 
directs the Missile Defense Agency, in coordination with 
Commander, Pacific Command and Commander, Central Command, to 
provide a brief to the House Armed Services Committee by 
December 31, 2018 on the addition of an operational fleet of 
advanced sensors deployed on MQ-9 Reaper systems to the 
ballistic missile defense system, to include integration and 
test efforts, operational value for regional and homeland 
defense, basing options, Warfighter concepts of operation, and 
total research, development, test and evaluation and operations 
and sustainment costs associated with deployment to the Pacific 
command and Central command areas of responsibility.

                    Cruise Missile Threat to Hawaii

    The committee notes the cruise missile threat to the United 
States, including Hawaii, and notes that the ballistic missile 
defense review, which has been delayed, may address this issue. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in 
consultation with the Director of National Intelligence, to 
provide to the Armed Services Committee of the House of 
Representatives a briefing no later than 45 days after the 
Ballistic Missile Defense Review is submitted to Congress, on 
the cruise missile defense threat to the United States, 
including Hawaii, including in the event of a conflict with 
Russia or China, the role of nuclear deterrence plays in the 
layered defense of the United States, and an assessment of the 
required architecture, development and deployment timeline, 
estimated costs and any relevant policy implications related to 
a potential cruise missile defense system to protect the United 
States, including specifically Hawaii.

           Cybersecurity of Ballistic Missile Defense System

    This committee notes the 2017 report from the Director, 
Operational Test and Evaluation, of the Department of Defense, 
on the cybersecurity testing gaps that exist for the Ballistic 
Missile Defense System (BMDS). The committee further notes that 
a plan is needed from the Missile Defense Agency and Director, 
Operational Test and Evaluation to conduct vulnerability 
assessments, cooperative vulnerability and penetration 
assessments, and adversarial assessments on all BMDS mission 
elements. Therefore, the committee directs the Director of the 
Missile Defense Agency, in coordination with the Director, 
Operational Test and Evaluation, to provide a briefing to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives by December 31, 2018, on the BMDS cybersecurity 
testing road map. The briefing must include a comprehensive 
plan to improve the cybersecurity posture of the mission 
elements of the BMDS, including addressing the requirement to 
further enhance such posture through the integration and 
dissemination of left- and right-of-launch data, and what 
process the Director of the Missile Defense Agency will use to 
incorporate lessons learned from the cybersecurity assessments.

                           Hypersonic Defense

    The committee directs the Director of the Missile Defense 
Agency to provide a briefing to the congressional defense 
committees by December 31, 2018, on the hypersonic defense 
analysis of alternatives and the integrated plan, including 
estimated costs to deliver hypersonic defense capabilities in a 
manner that is global, cost effective, persistent, and provides 
resilient tracking, in accordance with section 1687 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public 
Law 114-328). This briefing shall include an assessment on the 
required architecture, deployment timeline, and estimated costs 
for defense against hypersonic threats as demonstrated and/or 
pursued by Russia and China.

                    Maintenance of Patriot Batteries

    The committee notes that an ongoing review by the 
Comptroller General of the United States of the Army's 
maintenance of the Patriot missile defense system has found 
that although the Army believes that the current pace of 
recapitalizing Patriot equipment incurs long-term risks to 
sustaining the system, the Army has concluded that it cannot 
increase the recapitalization pace without affecting current 
operational demands or without shifting resources from its 
integrated air and missile defense modernization priorities. In 
addition, the ongoing review by the Comptroller General has 
found that the return of reset equipment to Patriot units 
generally has not met the Army's timeliness goal and that 
delays in returning reset equipment can affect unit training. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army to 
provide a briefing to the Committee on Armed Services of the 
House of Representatives not later than December 1, 2018, on a 
plan to conduct a comparative analysis of factors affecting 
Patriot reset timeliness and appropriate corrective actions to 
improve timeliness.

            Options To Supplement Missile Defense of Hawaii

    The committee notes that Hawaii is currently defended 
against missile threats from North Korea by the deployed 
ground-based interceptors located at Fort Greely, Alaska, and 
Vandenberg Air Force Base, California. Mindful of potential 
costs and untested capability of Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) 
interceptors against long-range missile threats, the committee 
directs the Secretary of the Navy, in consultation with the 
Director of the Missile Defense Agency, to provide a briefing 
to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives, not later than September 15, 2018, on the 
potential to supplement this defense by assigning a permanent 
Aegis ship patrol to increase a layered ballistic missile 
defense of Hawaii, with the assumption that SM-3 missiles might 
be effective against long-range threats. The briefing should 
address the technical capability, feasibility, benefits, risks, 
cost, and trade-offs of this option for the purpose of 
defending Hawaii.
    In addition, mindful of the high demand for Terminal High 
Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) batteries and the untested 
capability of the THAAD weapon system against long-range 
threats, the committee also directs the Director of the Missile 
Defense Agency, in coordination with the Secretary of the Army, 
to provide a briefing to the Committee on Armed Services of the 
House of Representatives, not later than September 15, 2018, on 
the feasibility of stationing a permanent THAAD battery in 
Hawaii, and the technical capability, costs, benefits, and 
risks of testing a THAAD interceptor against an 
intercontinental ballistic missile.

                     Patriot Interceptor Inventory

    The committee recognizes, given the reality of ever-
increasing capabilities and quantities of ballistic missiles 
and air-breathing threats (such as cruise missiles and unmanned 
aerial vehicles), the importance of maintaining a full 
complement of interceptors for the Patriot system. Section 1678 
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 
(Public Law 115-91) directed the Army to submit a plan to 
maintain an inventory of interceptors necessary to retain the 
capability provided by Patriot interceptors. The committee 
notes that the report has not yet been received and will be 
delayed until July 2018.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army, 
in coordination with the Chief of Staff of the Army, to submit 
an amended report to the congressional defense committees by 
July 31, 2018, that addresses the value of maintaining use of 
Guidance Enhanced Missile (GEM-T) capabilities alongside 
Patriot Advanced Capability-3 (PAC-3) and PAC-3 Missile Segment 
Enhanced (MSE) to provide Patriot with a full complement of 
capability and capacity against current and evolving threats, 
including air-breathing and all other types of ballistic 
missiles. The report should also include the Army's intent to 
recertify the aging GEM-T inventory and cite a desired date to 
commence this activity so as to minimize any negative 
consequences to Patriot munitions capacity.

       Protection of Ballistic Missile Defense System Components

    The committee notes an increase to land-based ballistic 
missile defense system (BMDS) components with the development 
and delivery of the Long Range Discriminating Radar, Homeland 
Defense Radar-Hawaii, Pacific Radar, and completion of the 
Aegis Ashore site in Poland. These new sites are in addition to 
already deployed terrestrial weapon system sites and radars. 
Responsibility for protection of these sites against threats 
such as cruise missiles, unmanned aerial vehicles, and 
electronic warfare falls under the combatant commander for 
which they are located.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Commander, U.S. Strategic Command, and 
appropriate regional combatant commands, to provide a briefing 
to the congressional defense committees by November 30, 2018, 
detailing the current protections of deployed BMDS assets from 
cruise missile, unmanned aerial vehicle, and electronic warfare 
threats. The briefing should also include the requirements for 
protection of the future assets that are in the program of 
record, as well as any plans to increase protection of current 
and future assets, including costs and any mitigating measures 
in the event that a system is degraded or unavailable.

               Standard Missile-3 Testing and Reliability

    The committee is aware of the role and importance of the 
Standard Missile-3 (SM-3) interceptors in providing missile 
defense capability to the warfighter. The committee notes that 
failures of the SM-3 IB and SM-3 IIA revealed issues that may 
have been avoided with additional system engineering focus, and 
these recent challenges could have impacts on reliability 
assessments of these interceptors by the Director, Operational 
Test and Evaluation.
    The committee also notes that section 1680 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-
91) included a requirement to test the SM-3 IIA capability 
against a longer range threat. The committee directs the 
Director of the Missile Defense Agency to provide a briefing to 
the Committees on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives and the Senate, not later than August 1, 2018, 
on how the recent SM-3 IIA test failure affects the planned 
test of this missile against an intercontinental ballistic 
missile-range target. This briefing should include implications 
such as changes to timeline of planned tests, requirements for 
additional tests, and changes in funding requirements.
    The committee also directs the Director of the Missile 
Defense Agency, in coordination with the Director of the Office 
of Test and Evaluation, to provide a briefing to the Committees 
on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than December 15, 2018, detailing 
how the Missile Defense Agency will ensure the contractor's 
systems engineering and ground testing procedures are adequate 
to support production of SM-3 IB and SM-3 IIA interceptors. The 
briefing should describe how ground test data from production 
interceptors supports SM-3 reliability estimates from the 
Missile Defense Agency and the Office of Test and Evaluation.

   Warfighter Procedures for Responding to and Releasing Information 
             Regarding an Inbound Ballistic Missile Threat

    The committee notes that on January 13, 2018, the Hawaii 
Emergency Management Agency (HI-EMA) issued a false incoming 
ballistic missile alert that caused widespread panic and 
confusion in the State of Hawaii. The U.S. Pacific Command 
(PACOM) notified HI-EMA that no launch had occurred within 
minutes of the false alert being issued. Nevertheless, it took 
HI-EMA 38 minutes to retract the alert.
    The committee notes the importance of clear and accurate 
communications and cooperation between PACOM and relevant 
federal and state entities responsible for communicating and 
alerting the public of an incoming threat. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination 
with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to provide a 
briefing to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives on ballistic missile alert procedure, 
warfighter coordination, plans, and timelines in the event of a 
legitimate incoming ballistic missile attack to the Homeland, 
including coordination, plans and timelines for releasing 
critical defense information to other Federal agencies, and 
state entities as appropriate, responsible for informing the 
general public. The briefing shall also include the DoD's role 
and process, if any, in retracting a false, misinformed, or 
unauthorized alert issued by a federal or state agency 
regarding an inbound ballistic missile threat.

                             Nuclear Forces


    Air Force Global Strike Command and Nuclear Deterrence Institute

    The committee continues to oversee Air Force Global Strike 
Command (AFGSC) as it leads and coordinates efforts across the 
Air Force for both nuclear deterrence operations and the 
National Leadership Command Capabilities/Nuclear Command, 
Control, and Communications system. The committee believes 
strong and sustained attention on these missions will be 
required as the Air Force carries out its portions of the 
nuclear modernization program.
    The committee understands that the AFGSC's strategy to 
enhance science, technology, innovation, and collaboration 
related to its missions has successfully leveraged partnerships 
with local governments, academia, industry, and non-profits. 
This strategy also includes an intent to establish an institute 
dedicated to AFGSC's missions, further leverage these 
partnerships, and provide AFGSC an analytical foundation and 
direct access to expertise across its mission set. To better 
understand how the Air Force intends to proceed with this 
initiative, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by November 30, 2018, on implementation of the AFGSC's 
strategy to enhance science, technology, innovation, and 
collaboration. The briefing should include:
    (1) the Secretary's decision regarding if, and if so, when 
and how, to establish the institute recommended by the 
strategy;
    (2) whether and how the institute could uniquely contribute 
to the nuclear deterrence operations mission of the Air Force 
without duplication of other capabilities and resources; and
    (3) the benefits and costs associated with the institute.

                       B83-1 Nuclear Gravity Bomb

    The committee notes that the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review 
(NPR) proposes to retain the B83-1 nuclear gravity bomb in the 
U.S. nuclear stockpile, whereas it had previously been slated 
for retirement in the early 2020s. The NPR stated, ``the B83-1 
and B61-11 gravity bombs can hold at risk a variety of 
protected targets. As a result, both will be retained in the 
stockpile, at least until there is sufficient confidence in the 
B61-12 gravity bomb that will be available in 2020.'' The NPR 
elaborated, saying it proposes ``sustaining the B83-1 past its 
currently planned retirement date until a suitable replacement 
is identified.''
    The committee also notes that in 2012, the National Nuclear 
Security Administration (NNSA) estimated that retaining the B83 
gravity bomb would potentially require it to undergo an 
alteration in the 2020s and a life extension program in the 
2030s, both of which would cost billions of dollars. 
Additionally, the NNSA may have planned to use certain 
materials from the B83 for currently planned life extension 
programs.
    The committee believes further explanation for the decision 
to retain the B83 is warranted, particularly because such 
decision may require the B83 to undergo significant life 
extension activities and could impact other planned warhead 
modernization programs. The committee also expects a fuller 
understanding of the military requirements associated with the 
B83-1 and its retention.
    The committee therefore directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command 
and the Administrator for Nuclear Security, to submit a report 
to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
of Representatives by November 15, 2018, on the plan and 
rationale for, and implications of, retaining the B83-1. The 
report should address specific military requirements associated 
with the decision to now retain the B83-1, impacts on current 
or planned warhead programs including re-use of any materials, 
and potential risks, benefits, plans and costs associated with 
continued surveillance and potential life extension activities 
for the B83-1. The committee directs the report to be provided 
in unclassified form, with a classified annex as necessary.

    Comptroller General Review of Plans To Swap B61 Bombs in Europe

    The committee notes that the Department of Energy and the 
Department of Defense are carrying out a life extension program 
to maintain the safety, security, reliability, and credibility 
of B61 nuclear gravity bombs, and expect a first production 
unit of the updated B61-12 weapon to be available in late 2019. 
To swap legacy B61 bombs currently deployed in Europe in 
support of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) for 
modern B61-12 bombs, the Air Force will conduct movements of 
nuclear weapons to and from Europe using certified military 
cargo aircraft. Initial planning for these movements is 
underway and the committee understands that such planning 
requires dialogue and close coordination with host nation 
governments.
    To enable improved oversight of this planning, the 
committee directs the Comptroller General of the United States 
to submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives by March 1, 2019, 
containing a review and assessment of the Department of Defense 
plans to swap B61 nuclear gravity bombs in Europe, including 
the following:
    (1) readiness of the military forces responsible for 
conducting and supporting the weapon movements;
    (2) coordination between the United States and allied host 
nations regarding the movements;
    (3) any potential actions that may be considered or planned 
to enhance surety and survivability; and
    (4) the Department of Defense's identification and 
mitigation of any risks to these plans.

         Nuclear Survivability and Hostile Environments Testing

    To be a credible and effective deterrent, U.S. nuclear 
weapons are designed to operate in the most extreme hostile 
environments. The committee has no doubt that current U.S. 
nuclear forces and weapons meet these exacting requirements. 
However, as it has expressed in the past, the committee 
believes that the Department of Defense and the National 
Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) must be mindful of how 
the threat environment and so-called ``stockpile-to-target 
sequence'' may evolve as adversaries continue to advance their 
defensive capabilities. In particular, the committee believes 
the United States must ensure it has the capability to 
experimentally test materials, components, subsystems, and full 
systems in realistic environments that combine multiple extreme 
threats.
    To better understand Department of Defense and NNSA efforts 
in this regard, the committee directs the Chairman of the 
Nuclear Weapons Council, in coordination with the Administrator 
for Nuclear Security, to provide a briefing to the Committees 
on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives by November 30, 2018, on nuclear weapon 
survivability requirements and related test capabilities. Such 
briefing should include:
    (1) current requirements related to survivability and the 
stockpile-to-target sequence;
    (2) the evolving threat environment and potential changes 
to such requirements over the next 20 years;
    (3) capabilities to test materials, components, subsystems, 
and systems in realistic, combined environments;
    (4) any risks or gaps in such experimental capabilities and 
any plans to address or mitigate such risks or gaps; and
    (5) any changes in concepts of operation that may be 
applicable.

                Perimeter Security at NATO Nuclear Bases

    The committee appreciates the importance of the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization's (NATO) deterrence and defense 
mission, and the role that U.S. forward-deployed nuclear 
weapons play in the NATO Alliance. The committee notes its 
continuing interest in ensuring robust and consistent security 
for these weapons and that NATO, the United States, and 
individual host nations have engaged in a series of security 
enhancement and modernization projects in recent years. The 
committee applauds these steps and supports ongoing efforts to 
standardize requirements and security measures across NATO's 
nuclear bases but also recognizes that each base and host 
nation presents different challenges for implementation and 
standardization of upgrades. The committee believes that 
continued enhancements and progress towards standardization is 
an important endeavor, and that an area particularly ripe for 
further action is perimeter security.
    The committee therefore directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Secretary of the Air Force, to provide 
a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives and the Senate by December 1, 2018, assessing 
and comparing perimeter security at all NATO nuclear bases. 
Such briefing should also contain the following:
    (1) a comparison of perimeter security at NATO nuclear 
bases versus each other and versus nuclear bases in the United 
States;
    (2) details on requirements and standards for perimeter 
security at NATO nuclear bases and nuclear bases in the United 
States; and
    (3) a plan for actions that the United States could propose 
and undertake to standardize and enhance perimeter security at 
NATO nuclear bases, including through bilateral engagements 
with host nations and multilateral engagement through NATO.

                   Plutonium Pit Production and Reuse

     In 2008, the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of 
Energy stated in a joint report, ``at present the United States 
does not have the ability to produce new nuclear weapons,'' 
particularly the ability to produce plutonium pits. In 2010, 
the Secretaries signed a Memorandum of Agreement that said the 
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) would ``plan 
and program to ramp up to a minimum of 50-80 pits/year.'' In 
2014, the Secretary of Defense said in a letter to the 
congressional defense committees that ``the Department of 
Defense (DOD) has revalidated its requirement for 50-80 pits 
per year based on the demands of stockpile modernization, the 
commitments to a modern physical infrastructure, and the 
ability to hedge against technical or geopolitical risk.''
    Section 3112 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' 
McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 
(Public Law 113-291), put this requirement, and associated 
timeframes for production, into statute and included a Sense of 
Congress that ``the requirement to create a modern, responsive 
nuclear infrastructure that includes the capability and 
capacity to produce, at minimum, 50 to 80 pits per year, is a 
national security priority.''
    The 2018 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR) also discusses the 
need for a plutonium pit production capacity, saying ``the 
United States does not have a sustained plutonium pit 
manufacturing capability needed to avoid stockpile age-out, 
support life extension programs (LEP), and prepare for future 
uncertainty . . . To avoid age-related risks, DOD requires NNSA 
to produce at least 80 plutonium pits per year by 2030, and to 
sustain the capacity for future LEPs and follow-on programs.''
    The committee continues to believe a pit production 
capability is a national security priority, but seeks 
clarification on whether and why the 2018 NPR has modified the 
pit production requirement. Therefore, the committee directs 
the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of 
Energy and the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, to submit a 
report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives by November 30, 2018, on the 
annual pit production requirement, including any associated 
timelines. Such report should include a detailed rationale and 
justification for any changes to the requirement, the drivers 
behind the requirement, and associated costs. Such report 
should also include a detailed assessment of the potential to 
reuse plutonium pits that are currently in the inventory of the 
United States.

                 Tonopah Test Range Land Use Agreement

     The committee understands that the Air Force and the 
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) are currently 
negotiating an extension to a land use agreement at the Tonopah 
Test Range (TTR) which enables NNSA's Sandia National 
Laboratories to utilize a portion of TTR for drop testing of 
inert nuclear gravity bombs. Sandia Labs has been operating at 
TTR since 1956, when it originally used 580 square miles of the 
range, and since the most recent update to the agreement in 
2002 has been using 280 square miles. The current land use 
agreement expires in 2019 and is likely to make further 
reductions to make additional land available to the Air Force. 
The committee supports efforts to provide additional land for 
the Air Force mission at TTR and nearby ranges, which are 
operating over capacity, but is mindful that Sandia and NNSA 
must be able to carry out their testing mission. The committee 
encourages and looks forward to a cooperative, mutually 
beneficial update to this agreement that enables both partners 
to carry out their important missions.

                         Cyber-Related Matters


   Addressing Readiness Deficiencies Through the Hacking for Defense 
                      Innovation Education Program

     The committee notes that the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) 
authorized the Secretary of Defense to support national 
security innovation and entrepreneurial education, including 
but not limited to, Hacking for Defense.
    The committee notes that expansion of Hacking for Defense 
innovation and entrepreneurial education at U.S. and North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) universities may optimize 
and enhance the Department's innovation efforts outlined in the 
2018 National Defense Strategy. Developing a culture of rapid 
and meaningful innovation, and deploying advanced warfighter 
solutions, may remedy existing readiness deficiencies. The 
committee also notes that Hacking for Defense innovation 
education programs may benefit overall Department of Defense 
professional education such as at the National Defense 
University, the Defense Acquisition University, the Naval 
Postgraduate School, and other professional education programs.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing 
to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
September 28, 2018 on how the Department may expand Hacking for 
Defense to support the Department's innovation and 
entrepreneurial education efforts, including a description of 
how the Hacking for Defense program is currently being employed 
within the Department of Defense and how it may be further 
leveraged to provide advanced warfighter solutions, address 
readiness deficiencies, and reinvigorate, modernize, and 
enhance the Department's innovation education with U.S. and 
NATO universities and professional education programs.

    Comptroller General Review of Current Military Cyber Operations

    The committee notes that in the last several years, the 
Department of Defense has employed cyber capabilities to 
achieve objectives in or through cyberspace. Unlike military 
operations that occur in the air and land domains, cyberspace 
operations and the effects of those operations are not always 
visible to Congress and the American people. The committee 
believes that as the Department continues to conduct cyberspace 
operations, it will be critical that operations are fully 
aligned with the appropriate authorities, policies and 
doctrine, rules of engagement, plans, oversight mechanisms, and 
lessons learned processes. It will also be important that the 
Department manages the number of organizations that are 
conducting these operations, to ensure there are clearly 
defined roles and responsibilities, and that there are 
deconfliction mechanisms in place.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to assess the Department of Defense's current 
military cyberspace operations. The assessment should identify:
     (1) the types of cyberspace operations the Department has 
undertaken, activities undertaken to prepare for cyberspace 
operations, and the organizations conducting these operations;
     (2) authorities, policies, doctrine, and rules of 
engagement for these operations;
     (3) internal oversight and congressional reporting 
mechanisms;
     (4) efforts to develop and synchronize cyberspace 
operations within combatant commanders' plans; and
     (5) processes used to deconflict cyberspace operations or 
mitigate the impact of cyberspace operations on other military 
operations.
    The committee directs the Comptroller General to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 
2019, on preliminary findings, and submit a final report to the 
congressional defense committees at a date agreed to at the 
time of the briefing.

     Comptroller General Review of Information Operations Strategy

     The committee notes that information operations are a 
means for the United States to promote economic and political 
freedom, as well as countering all forms of extremism and 
adversarial influence. In June 2016, in response to a 
congressional requirement, the Department of Defense issued an 
information operations strategy to align departmental actions 
and ensure effective integration of Department of Defense 
efforts. These efforts contribute to the mission that the 
Department of State's Global Engagement Center was directed to 
lead, organize, and synchronize.
    Section 1637 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) directed the Department of 
Defense to establish processes and procedures to integrate 
strategic information operations and cyber-enabled information 
operations across the relevant elements of the Department of 
Defense, including those responsible for military deception, 
public affairs, electronic warfare, and cyber operations. This 
section also directed the Department of Defense to coordinate 
regional information strategies and interagency coordination 
plans of the combatant commands with the appropriate Department 
of State officials and the Global Engagement Center, and to 
develop an implementation plan to support the Department of 
Defense Strategy for Operations in the Information Environment. 
However, the committee remains concerned about the lack of 
progress in developing the strategy, tools, and coordination 
mechanisms to counter adversarial influence.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to assess the Department's information 
operations strategy and implementation efforts. The assessment 
shall:
    (1) identify the Department of Defense's implementation of 
the 2016 strategy, integration of cyber and intelligence 
capabilities, and other activities, for information operations;
    (2) identify roles, responsibilities, and coordination of 
activities within the Department of Defense, and between the 
Department and interagency partners;
    (3) identify previous and planned investments by the 
Department to support and implement information operations; and
    (4) any other matters the Comptroller General determines 
relevant.
    The committee directs the Comptroller General to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 
2019, on preliminary findings, with a report to follow at a 
time agreed to at the time of the briefing.

                       Cyber Scholarship Program

    The budget request contained $7.9 million in PE 33140D8Z, 
for the defense-wide Information Security Systems Program.
    Section 1649 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) amended chapter 112 of 
title 10, United States Code, to establish the Department of 
Defense Cyber Scholarship Program. The committee believes the 
Cyber Scholarship program may alleviate the challenges the 
Department of Defense is experiencing in recruiting and 
retaining cybersecurity personnel. Additionally, the committee 
believes that providing additional opportunities under the 
program will be beneficial in addressing Department 
requirements for a qualified cyber workforce, especially if the 
Department focuses on educating the public and relevant 
academic institutions about this program. The committee also 
believes that Reserve Officer Training Corps (ROTC) programs at 
universities that offer degrees in cyber studies and related 
fields provide an opportunity to leverage and expand 
partnerships to assist in closing the gap of trained cyber 
warriors in the military.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $17.9 million, an 
increase of $10.0 million, in PE 33140D8Z.
    Further, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
February 1, 2019, on the implementation and utilization of the 
Cyber Scholarship Program, to include efforts to educate the 
public and focus on institutions with high-quality computer 
science, engineering, and cybersecurity programs, including 
historically black colleges and universities, and minority-
serving institutions. The briefing should also include 
implementation and utilization of efforts to leverage ROTC at 
institutions with cyber studies as a way to expand the pool of 
talented technical applicants.

   Information Security Continuous Monitoring and Comply-To-Connect 
                             Implementation

    While the Committee understands that pursuant to the 
requirements established in Section 1653 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328), the Department of Defense included language relating to a 
Department-wide automated information security continuous 
monitoring capability and a comply-to-connect policy in its 
Fiscal Year 2019 budget request, the Committee is concerned 
that this language failed to adequately explain the 
Department's implementation strategy and the resources it will 
require. The Committee therefore directs the Director of Cost 
Assessment and Program Evaluation to provide the Committee on 
Armed Services of the House of Representatives, no later than 
December 1, 2018, a briefing specifically outlining the 
resources and any recommendations that will be required to 
fully address the requirements contained within Section 1653 of 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017.

                Joint Enterprise Defense Infrastructure

    On September 13, 2017, the Deputy Secretary of Defense 
signed a memorandum establishing the Cloud Executive Steering 
Group to accelerate the adoption of enterprise-wide cloud 
architecture and services, known as the Joint Enterprise 
Defense Infrastructure, or JEDI.
    A report provided to Congress by the Department of Defense 
on October 19, 2017, in response to the committee report (H. 
Rept. 114-577) accompanying the Department of Defense 
Appropriations Act, 2017, outlined several challenges impacting 
the Department's ability to expand commercial cloud service 
usage. These included accurately projecting costs for security 
and complex migrations, lack of consistent security 
requirements, and an inability to identify tangible cost-
savings. Although the report outlined efforts to address these 
challenges, additional information has not been provided to the 
committee on progress to that end. The report also outlined 
several ongoing cloud computing activities.
    The committee has long championed modernization of 
information technology to facilitate efficiencies and cost-
savings, enhance performance, and provide our warfighters with 
cutting-edge capabilities on and off the battlefield. The 
committee is encouraged by the Department's renewed commitment 
to accelerate the adoption of cloud computing architecture and 
services.
    However, the committee is concerned with the lack of 
information supporting the planned acquisition of JEDI from a 
single commercial provider. This includes lack of detail 
regarding security requirements and associated costs, 
anticipated cost-savings, migration costs, and how the 
Department intends to maintain the ability to leverage the 
latest cloud computing capabilities and preserve the ability to 
transition workloads and data to other providers.
    Additionally, the committee has not been provided with 
details on customer capability requirements or how JEDI impacts 
current cloud computing services and other activities, such as 
those identified in the October 2017 report. The committee 
expects the Department to provide sufficient information 
necessary for the conduct of oversight responsibilities.

                    Mitigation of Autonomous Systems

    The Committee notes the Department's increased reliance on 
autonomous systems and their associated datalinks and sensors. 
While the Committee supports increased investments in these 
systems, the rapid research, development, and deployment of 
autonomous equipment presents unique challenges to cyber 
vulnerability. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary 
of Defense to provide a briefing by December 1, 2018 outlining 
the specific steps the Department is taking to protect 
autonomous systems from cyberattack, including mitigations 
resulting from the cyber vulnerability evaluations of major 
weapon systems that were conducted as directed by Section 1647 
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
(Public Law 114-92). The briefing should address layered cyber 
defense of associated datalinks, sensors, and onboard systems, 
technologies used to secure the communication architecture and 
RF links, and any other approaches used to improve the cyber 
security in these systems.

                           Network Protection

    The committee is aware that open, highly scalable network 
protection platforms that allow for integration of both 
government and commercial off-the-shelf capabilities, may allow 
for the Department of Defense to keep pace with evolving 
threats. The committee believes expeditious detection and 
mitigation is critical, especially as the Department makes 
greater use of commercial cloud computing and other commercial 
capabilities.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than February 5, 2019, on the status and evolution of 
automated cyber defense capabilities, to include those that 
automatically detect and mitigate malware and other threats. 
The briefing should include a description of efforts to acquire 
an open, scalable platform that can integrate commercial and 
government off-the-shelf technologies, and an evaluation of the 
potential effectiveness of a capability that can be deployed 
within and across network boundaries and endpoints.

              Operational Cyber Testing of Weapons Systems

    The committee is aware of the challenges of performing 
operational cyber testing of weapon systems to understand the 
potential impacts of a cyber attack to the system's 
performance. The committee continues to believe in the 
importance of evaluating the cyber vulnerabilities of major 
Department of Defense weapons systems, as authorized in the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public 
Law 114-92). The committee recognizes that for some systems 
there are gaps in the capability of the operational test and 
evaluation infrastructure that prevent it from adequately 
completing tests and measuring the impacts on a weapon system 
of a realistic cyber threat. The committee is also aware of 
efforts within the Department to further develop the 
capabilities to provide the necessary test, modeling, and 
simulation capabilities to build a robust infrastructure to be 
able to perform comprehensive cybersecurity weapon systems 
testing. The committee encourages the Department to utilize 
collaboration between academia and the different test ranges 
and facilities to build a robust infrastructure to execute 
tactical cyber attack scenarios against weapon systems in an 
operationally realistic environment.

 Plan to Enhance Coordination With Universities and Industry on Cyber 
                               Education

    The committee notes that universities and private industry 
will continue to be critical partners in the education and 
training of our future cyber force. Traditional academic 
approaches to cyber training and cyber certifications such as 
Security + and CISSP are based on preventing vulnerabilities, 
attacks, and gaps that have been identified in the past. The 
committee is concerned that the relevance of the training 
content of academic institutions could be immaterial depending 
on when the courseware was updated. Bridging the gap in cyber 
training between curriculum that has been built on legacy data 
versus training built on current real world cyberattacks is a 
meaningful area of cyber training research, curriculum 
development, and instruction delivery that must be addressed. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
present to the defense committees a plan on how the Department 
of Defense can leverage and partner with universities and 
industry on cyber education and training that addresses this 
gap by November 1, 2018. This plan shall include: current 
partnerships and ability to expand and leverage those 
partnerships; existing curriculum and recommended changes 
needed to ensure relevance to future threats; joint development 
of curriculum, courseware and research projects; availability 
and joint use of university facilities; and recommended changes 
to legislation to improve cyber education and training 
partnerships.

              Securing Personally Identifiable Information

    The committee recognizes that the Department of Defense 
takes extensive measures to protect the personally identifiable 
information (PII) of its Servicemembers and civilian employees 
but that more remains to be done, especially with advances in 
technological communications and evolving threats. For 
instance, the use of smartphone devices invites new security 
threats that could potentially exploit the integrity of PII. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
October 31, 2018 detailing information security technologies 
that the Department employs to protect the official 
unclassified email and official unclassified mobile 
communications of its employees.

                      Threat Cyberspace Operations

    The committee notes the increasingly contested nature of 
the cyber domain and the growing reliance of the Department of 
Defense and the military services on information technology 
systems. The committee continues to believe in the importance 
of performing robust cyber security assessments to determine 
the potential vulnerabilities of a system to a cyber-attack. 
The committee is aware that these assessments are based on 
realistic adversarial threats, including intelligence-based 
cyber tactics, techniques, and procedures that are 
representative of the continually emerging adversary 
capabilities. The Army Threat Cyberspace Operations program 
maintains a threat intelligence-based test capability that is 
important in meeting these mission needs. Therefore, the 
committee urges the Department of the Army to ensure that this 
program is adequately funded in future years to maintain cyber 
threat capabilities in an environment where the threat is 
rapidly evolving.

                          Intelligence Matters


            Foundational Intelligence Analysis Modernization

    The committee believes the Department of Defense must 
ensure that the defense intelligence enterprise has modern 
tools that can quickly integrate new technologies to assist 
analysts providing intelligence to support operations and 
acquisition activities. The committee is aware of the 
Department's efforts to modernize intelligence capabilities; 
however, the committee is concerned by a lack of urgency in 
modernizing the defense intelligence enterprise's capabilities 
to provide foundational intelligence to the combatant commands 
and the military services. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Joint Staff Director for Intelligence, in coordination with the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and the Director of 
the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), to develop a plan by 
October 1, 2018, to modernize systems used to provide 
foundational intelligence. Further, the committee directs the 
Joint Staff Director for Intelligence, in coordination with the 
DIA Director, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services by November 1, 2018, on such plan to modernize 
foundational intelligence systems. If a determination is made 
that a new system is required, the committee expects the 
Battlespace Awareness Functional Capabilities Board to validate 
the requirements for any new system, and that the acquisition 
plan will follow best practices for the rapid acquisition and 
improvement of technology dependent systems.

         Insider Threat Detection and User Activity Monitoring

    The committee is aware that in June 2015, the Government 
Accountability Office recommended that the Department of 
Defense issue risk-assessment guidance and evaluate the ability 
of its insider threat programs to address capability gaps (GAO-
15-544). The committee is also aware of the Department's 
efforts to rapidly detect and remedy cyber vulnerabilities 
through programs such as the Air Force's Automated Remediation 
and Asset Discovery Program. The committee believes that 
continuous network monitoring and greater network visibility 
can significantly improve security of the Department's 
classified information and systems. Therefore, the committee 
encourages the Department to perform cost and technical 
analyses of available commercial off-the-shelf and government 
off-the-shelf solutions for user activity monitoring and for 
rapid detection and remediation of cyber attacks, for the 
purposes of obtaining best value and performance to decrease 
risks.
    Further, the committee directs the Chief Management Officer 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by November 1, 2018, on the outcomes of its cost and technical 
analyses required by this report, and the Department's efforts 
to implement enterprise-wide programs and policies for insider 
threat detection, user activity monitoring, and cyber attack 
detection and remediation.

                  Insider Threat Risk Model Validation

    The committee supports the Department of Defense continued 
efforts to improve vetting and screening of its workforce for 
potential threats. The committee commends the efforts to 
develop risk-rating tools and to migrate department programs to 
a risk in person model in order to prioritize risk so that the 
Department can efficiently allocate resources against the 
riskiest populations inside the workforce. The committee 
encourages the Department to continue to evolve and mature 
insider threat and continuous vetting risk models and rating 
tools, especially those efforts to use artificial intelligence 
and machine learning to help identify potential sources of 
human investigative biases in current tools and algorithms. The 
committee believes artificial intelligence and machine learning 
have tremendous potential to assist in the identification of 
potential issues in time for commanders and other leaders to 
mitigate potential issues before they escalate into security 
vulnerabilities.

                  Intelligence Combat Support Agencies

    The committee commends the work of the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence to answer a request in the 
Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (division N 
of Public Law 115-31) to review the roles and missions of the 
Defense Intelligence Agency. The committee agrees with the 
Under Secretary's finding identifying a gap in Department of 
Defense coordination of the functions of the Combat Support 
Agencies (CSA) that also are members of the intelligence 
community. The directors of these agencies report to both the 
Secretary of Defense and the Director of National Intelligence, 
but these agencies lack a framework to balance the resourcing 
and mission conflicts this bifurcated chain of command can 
occasionally cause. Therefore, not later than October 1, 2018, 
the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation 
with the Director of National Intelligence, to develop policies 
that outline the process to balance the missions under the 
Combat Support Agency role with the missions and functions 
assigned by the intelligence community. These policies must 
address a process for assigning and integrating any new 
missions assigned by the Department of Defense or the 
intelligence community. The committee further directs the 
Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Director of 
National Intelligence, to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services and the Permanent Select Committee 
on Intelligence of the House of Representatives not later than 
October 15, 2018, on the plan to develop these policies.

                Intelligence Support to Cyber Operations

    The committee is concerned about the Defense Intelligence 
Enterprise's ability to provide the cyber community with all-
source intelligence support, consistent with the support 
provided to operations in other domains. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Intelligence, in coordination with the Defense Intelligence 
Agency and the military services, to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services and the House Permanent 
Select Committee on Intelligence by December 1, 2018, on 
intelligence support to cyber operations. The briefing should 
include efforts to standardize a common military intelligence 
lexicon and doctrine for intelligence preparation of the 
battlefield for cyber operations, efforts to develop all-source 
intelligence analysts with the capability to support cyber 
operations, and efforts to fully resource intelligence analysis 
support elements at U.S. Cyber Command and the service cyber 
components.

     Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math Careers in Defense 
                              Intelligence

    The committee is concerned about the Defense Intelligence 
Agency's (DIA) ability to attract and maintain adequate 
science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) 
professionals. Specifically, the committee is concerned about 
career progression in the science and technology intelligence 
(S&TI) field at the Service Intelligence Centers and the 
Missile and Space Intelligence Center. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Director of DIA to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than December 1, 2018, on 
a plan to develop a STEM career program that attracts and 
maintains the defense intelligence cadre of S&TI analysts to 
meet tomorrow's threats.

            Security and Intelligence Role in Export Control

    The committee is concerned about the coordination of 
security and technology protection issues involved in the 
export control process managed for the Department of Defense by 
the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy. The committee 
understands export controls support the Department's broad 
policy objectives to build relationships with partner nations, 
but the committee believes the risks of technology transfer 
deserve close scrutiny by the intelligence and security 
communities. Therefore, the committee directs the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Policy, in coordination with the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, to provide a briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services not later than October 1, 
2018, on security support to export control.

        Security Clearance Background Investigation Reciprocity

    The committee remains interested in improving the 
efficiency, effectiveness and timeliness of background 
investigations for security clearances. The committee believes 
that the federal government must do more to address conditions 
that have caused the investigation backlog, including 
reciprocity issues across agencies and departments. The 
committee notes that the Intelligence Reform and Terrorism 
Prevention Act (IRTPA) (Public Law 108-458) mandated that 
investigations initiated by an authorized investigative agency 
shall be transferable to any other authorized investigative 
agency, but a December 2017 Government Accountability Office 
report found full implementation of investigative 
transferability has yet to occur. The committee strongly 
believes that ample time has passed since the passage of IRTPA 
for full implementation of investigative reciprocity between 
agencies, and the failure to implement transferability 
requirements is unacceptable. Not later than October 1, 2018, 
the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination 
with the Director of National Intelligence and the Director of 
the Office of Personnel Management to brief the committee on 
efforts to ensure seamless transition of investigations between 
authorized investigative agencies, as required by law.
    The committee has received numerous briefings on the 
Department's plan to reassume the background investigation 
mission for Department of Defense personnel from the National 
Background Investigations Bureau, and is encouraged by the 
efforts to move towards continuous evaluation and continuous 
vetting as a replacement for periodic reinvestigations to 
reduce the investigative backlog. The committee notes the lead 
role the Department is taking for continuous monitoring and 
continuous vetting across the federal government. The committee 
believes any solution to improve the efficiency, effectiveness 
and timeliness of background investigations must be applied 
across the federal government uniformly. Therefore, not later 
than November 1, 2018, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense, in coordination with the Director of National 
Intelligence and the Director of the Office of Personnel 
Management to brief the committee on efforts to ensure 
reciprocity is a consideration for implementation of continuous 
evaluation and continuous vetting across the federal 
government.

  Strengthening Oversight of the Military Intelligence Program Budget

    The committee is aware of a recent draft Government 
Accountability Office report on the Military Intelligence 
Program (MIP) that identifies a lack of clear and definitive 
guidance about which programs, projects, and activities should 
be assigned to the MIP. As a result, there may be intelligence 
and intelligence-related capabilities resourced outside of the 
MIP. Conversely, the committee believes there are MIP resources 
allocated to programs, projects, and activities that do not 
primarily support the Secretary of Defense's intelligence, 
counterintelligence, and related intelligence responsibilities 
and requirements. Thus, the Department of Defense's ability to 
make informed decisions to balance appropriate resources 
against programs, projects, or activities is limited.
    The committee believes the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Intelligence (USDI) should take measures to more clearly define 
guidance about which programs, projects, or activities should 
be assigned to the MIP using the Joint Publication's definition 
of intelligence. Therefore, the committee directs USDI to 
review all of the Department's intelligence, 
counterintelligence, and related intelligence programs, 
projects, and activities supporting the Secretary's 
responsibilities and requirements. The review shall also 
include programs, projects, and activities potentially funded 
outside of the MIP. In conducting the review, the committee 
expects USDI to note that the committee believes resources for 
sensors integral to the function of weapon systems, sensors and 
systems developed for space and missile defense, and resources 
for activities and programs associated with Operational 
Preparation of the Environment and Nonconventional Assisted 
Recovery are in support of operational requirements, and should 
be excluded from designation to the MIP.
    Further, the committee directs USDI to provide a briefing 
to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
of Representatives by March 1, 2019, on the results of the 
review, including how the review will result in clear guidance 
on designation of programs, projects, and activities to the 
MIP.

to Congress, to carry out projects intended to enhance force 
protection and safety. The committee recommends the Secretary 
use this authority to alleviate deficiencies in access control 
points, air traffic control towers, fire stations, and anti-
terrorism and force protection.
    Finally, the committee recommends a reduction of funding 
for a project contained in the budget request submitted by the 
Department of the Army for military construction and family 
housing. This reduction is:
    (1) $10.0 million for Command and Control Facility, 
Increment 4 at Fort Shafter, Hawaii. While the committee 
supports the requirement for this incrementally funded project, 
the committee notes this is the second consecutive year the 
Army has reported cost increases associated with this project. 
The committee believes the Department did not provide 
sufficient justification for the most recent cost increase 
associated with this project. Therefore, the committee 
recommends $95.0 million, a reduction of $10.0 million, for 
this project.

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                   Explanation of Funding Adjustments

    The committee recommends the inclusion of funding for 
several projects requested by the Department of the Navy but 
not contained in the budget request for military construction 
and family housing. These increases include:
    (1) $78.8 million for an Aircraft Paint Complex at Naval 
Base Coronado, California;
    (2) $75.6 million for X-Ray Wharf Improvements (Berth 2) at 
Naval Base Guam, Guam;
    (3) $51.3 million for 2nd Radio Battalion Complex, Phase 2 
at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina;
    (4) $31.9 million for a Welding and Body Repair Shop 
Facility at Marine Corps Base Albany, Georgia;
    (5) $22.3 million for Expeditionary Combat Skills Student 
Berthing at Naval Construction Battalion Center, Gulfport, 
Mississippi;
    (6) $21.8 million for Missile Magazines at Naval Weapons 
Station Seal Beach, California;
    (7) $19.7 million for a Consolidated Fire Station at Naval 
Station Guantanamo Bay, Cuba;
    (8) $19.5 million for LCS Mission Module Readiness Center 
at Naval Base San Diego, California;
    (9) $16.6 million for a Supply Warehouse SOI-West at Camp 
Pendleton, California;
    (10) $14.9 million for a Communications Line Ops to Admin 
at Naval Air Station Lemoore, California;
    (11) $14.8 million for Missile Motor Magazines and U&SI at 
Camp Navajo, Arizona
    (12) $13.1 million for Ammunition Supply Point Upgrade, 
Phase 2 at Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia;
    (13) $10.0 million for Air Traffic Control Tower (North 
Field) at Naval Air Station Whiting Field, Florida; and (14) 
$6.3 million for a Cryogenics Facility Marine Corps Air Station 
Beaufort, South Carolina.
    The committee also recommends the inclusion of $50.0 
million for the Secretary of the Navy, with prior notification 
to Congress, to carry out projects intended to enhance force 
protection and safety. The committee recommends the Secretary 
use this authority to alleviate deficiencies in access control 
points, air traffic control towers, fire stations, and anti-
terrorism and force protection.
    Finally, the committee recommends a reduction of funding 
for several projects contained in the budget request submitted 
by the Department of the Navy for military construction and 
family housing. These reductions include:
    (1) $73.97 million for an Aircraft Maintenance Hangar at 
Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina. The 
committee supports the requirement for this project and 
provides the full project authorization of $133.97 million 
included in the budget request. However, the committee supports 
the authorization of appropriations in an amount equivalent to 
the ability of the Department to execute in the year of the 
authorization for appropriations. For this project, the 
committee believes that the Department of the Navy cannot fully 
expend the funding in fiscal year 2019. Therefore, the 
committee recommends an authorization of appropriation of $60.0 
million, a reduction of $73.97 million, for this project.
    (2) $71.287 million for a Machine Gun Range at Joint Region 
Marianas, Guam. The committee supports the requirement for this 
project and provides the full project authorization of $141.287 
million included in the budget request. However, the committee 
supports the authorization of appropriations in an amount 
equivalent to the ability of the Department to execute in the 
year of the authorization for appropriations. For this project, 
the committee believes that the Department of the Navy cannot 
fully expend the funding in fiscal year 2019. Therefore, the 
committee recommends an authorization of appropriation of $70.0 
million, a reduction of $71.287 million, for this project.
    (3) $59.353 million for Pier 8 Replacement at Naval Base 
San Diego, California. The committee supports the requirement 
for this project and provides the full project authorization of 
$108.1 million included in the budget request. However, the 
committee supports the authorization of appropriations in an 
amount equivalent to the ability of the Department to execute 
in the year of the authorization for appropriations. For this 
project, the committee believes that the Department of the Navy 
cannot fully expend the funding in fiscal year 2019. Therefore, 
the committee recommends an authorization of appropriation of 
$47.747 million, a reduction of $59.353 million, for this 
project.
    (4) $55.6 million for the Master Time Clocks & Operations 
Facility at the Naval Observatory, District of Columbia. The 
committee supports the requirement for this project and 
provides the full project authorization of $115.6 million 
included in the budget request. However, the committee supports 
the authorization of appropriations in an amount equivalent to 
the ability of the Department to execute in the year of the 
authorization for appropriations. For this project, the 
committee believes that the Department of the Navy cannot fully 
expend the funding in fiscal year 2019. Therefore, the 
committee recommends an authorization of appropriation of $60.0 
million, a reduction of $55.6 million, for this project.
    (5) $58.321 million for Dry Dock #1 Superflood Basin at the 
Portsmouth Navy Yard, Maine. The committee supports the 
requirement for this project and provides the full project 
authorization of $109.96 million included in the budget 
request. However, the committee supports the authorization of 
appropriations in an amount equivalent to the ability of the 
Department to execute in the year of the authorization for 
appropriations. For this project, the committee believes that 
the Department of the Navy cannot fully expend the funding in 
fiscal year 2019. Therefore, the committee recommends an 
authorization of appropriation of $51.639 million, a reduction 
of $58.321 million, for this project.
    (6) $51.86 million for Flightline Utility Modernization at 
Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina. The 
committee supports the requirement for this project and 
provides the full project authorization of $106.86 million 
included in the budget request. However, the committee supports 
the authorization of appropriations in an amount equivalent to 
the ability of the Department to execute in the year of the 
authorization for appropriations. For this project, the 
committee believes that the Department of the Navy cannot fully 
expend the funding in fiscal year 2019. Therefore, the 
committee recommends an authorization of appropriation of $55.0 
million, a reduction of $51.86 million, for this project.
    (7) $50.52 million for a D5 Missile Motor Receipt/Storage 
Facility at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. The committee supports 
the requirement for this project and provides the full project 
authorization of $105.52 million included in the budget 
request. However, the committee supports the authorization of 
appropriations in an amount equivalent to the ability of the 
Department to execute in the year of the authorization for 
appropriations. For this project, the committee believes that 
Department of the Navy cannot fully expend the funding in 
fiscal year 2019. Therefore, the committee recommends an 
authorization of appropriation of $55.0 million, a reduction of 
$50.52 million, for this project.
    (8) $21.98 million for a TBS Fire Station at Marine Corps 
Base Quantico, Virginia. The committee notes this project was 
authorized in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) and a subsequent appropriations 
was included for this project in the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2018 (Public Law 115-141). The committee 
does not believe an additional authorization of appropriations 
for fiscal year 2019 is required for this project and therefore 
recommends a reduction of $21.98 million, for this project.
    (9) $8.0 million for Planning and Design. The committee 
recommends an authorization of appropriation of $177.542 
million, a reduction of $8.0 million, for planning and design 
activities.

                  Aegis Ashore Poland Austere Housing

    The committee notes that the U.S. Navy has made the 
decision to maintain austere housing accommodations for the 
Aegis Ashore site in Redzikowo, Republic of Poland. This 
decision was made despite the committee's concerns about the 
impact that these conditions could have on the quality of life 
for the sailors manning the site.
    Aegis Ashore Poland will provide critical missile defense 
capability to defend our deployed forces, allies, partners, and 
friends from missile defense threats. The site will be manned 
24/7 by sailors on rotating, unaccompanied tours. The Commander 
of Naval Installations Command determined that the Aegis Ashore 
site located in Redzikowo, Poland, warranted ``austere'' 
housing, and the Chief of Naval Operations approved this 
determination. Under this determination, the housing 
accommodation guidelines will place up to 4 persons in each 
berthing room.
    The committee is concerned that the austere housing may 
have a negative impact on quality of life for the sailors 
manning the site as they execute a critical missile defense 
mission. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Navy to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by November 30, 2018, on options to improve housing 
standards for sailors at the Aegis Ashore Poland site, 
including estimated costs and schedule for completing the 
possible improvements.

    Infrastructure in Support of Submarine Training and Operational 
                              Requirements

    The committee supports the Navy's development of the 
Columbia-class to serve as the Navy's future ballistic missile 
submarine. While the first submarine delivery is projected 
outside of the current Future Years Defense Program, the 
committee believes it is important for infrastructure 
requirements to be properly identified, programmed, and 
synchronized to support the training and operational 
requirements of this new class of submarine. The committee 
notes that the military departments have struggled in the past 
to align military construction and infrastructure investments 
with delivery of new weapon systems. The committee encourages 
the Secretary of the Navy to review the Navy's current 
infrastructure plans to ensure proper alignment with the 
Columbia-class program. Finally, the committee notes the 
importance of continuing to make appropriate investments in the 
infrastructure capabilities and capacity necessary to meet the 
training and certification of crews supporting the current 
fleet of Ohio-class submarines.

                     Public Shipyard Infrastructure

    The committee acknowledges that it has received the report 
related to Naval Shipyard Development Plans required by the 
committee report (H. Rept. 115-200) accompanying the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018. The report 
identified a number of infrastructure-related configuration, 
age, condition, and capacity issues that adversely impact 
nuclear submarine and aircraft carrier depot maintenance 
throughput. The Navy's report identifies approximately $21.0 
billion in infrastructure investments through 2040 that will be 
needed in the shipyards, to include $14.0 billion for 
construction to provide the optimal layout of facilities in 
order to increase production capacity, $4.0 billion for 
improvements of the dry docks to provide needed capability and 
capacity for future classes of ships, and $3.0 billion for 
capital equipment. The committee believes the public shipyards 
are key elements that support our national defense. As such, 
the committee encourages the Secretary of the Navy to plan, 
program, and budget appropriate investments in the public 
shipyards to ensure those shipyards have the capabilities and 
capacity necessary to efficiently and effectively support the 
Navy fleet of today as well as the future.

            Red Hill Bulk Underground Fuel Storage Facility

    The committee is aware that the Navy and Defense Logistics 
Agency (DLA) have entered into an enforceable agreement with 
the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Hawaii 
Department of Health known as an Administrative Order on 
Consent (AOC). The AOC has opportunities for stakeholder 
involvement at every milestone. The committee notes that the 
EPA and Hawaii Department of Health regulate the Red Hill 
Underground Fuel Storage Facility and must approve work on AOC 
milestones including tank inspection, repair, and maintenance; 
tank upgrade alternatives using Best Available Practicable 
Technology (BAPT); release detection and tank tightness 
testing; corrosion and metal fatigue practices; investigation 
and remediation of releases; groundwater protection and 
evaluation; and a risk and vulnerability assessment. The 
committee encourages the Navy and DLA to continue to work with 
Federal and State regulators to meet all compliance deadlines 
related to the AOC. Furthermore, the committee encourages the 
Navy and DLA to consider increasing community outreach efforts, 
to include holding more public events such as town halls, to 
keep the community and local stakeholders informed on 
milestones and compliance with the AOC.
    Furthermore, the committee continues to recognize the 
strategic value of the Red Hill Underground Fuel Storage 
Facility and the support it provides to U.S. Pacific Command 
(PACOM) operations in peacetime and for contingencies. This 
facility is a national strategic asset that supports combatant 
commander theater security requirements, contingency 
operations, and routine movements in the Indo-Asia-Pacific 
region. Moving the fuel to another storage facility in the 
Indo-Asia-Pacific region would have implications for the U.S. 
military force structure in the region. If the facility were 
closed, the ability of the U.S. Armed Forces to support the 
National Defense Strategy would be significantly undermined. 
The committee appreciates the ongoing dialogue with the 
Department of Defense and Department of the Navy on this topic 
while they continue to comply with the requirements of the AOC. 
The committee will continue to provide congressional oversight 
on compliance with the AOC and the planning, programming, 
budgeting, and execution for the BAPT solutions and overall 
recapitalization plan for the Red Hill Underground Fuel Storage 
Facility.

                         Tijuana Sewage Runoff

    The committee is aware that discharges of raw sewage into 
the Tijuana River have required Navy in-water military training 
in the vicinity of Coronado, California, to be temporarily 
shifted to another location due to health and safety concerns. 
In addition, sewage spills and debris such as discarded tires 
often clog the river channel causing substantial erosion along 
the perimeter of the Naval Outlying Landing Field Imperial 
Beach (NOLFIB). The erosion has threatened the installation's 
perimeter fencing and resulted in the Navy developing a project 
to reinforce the riverbank and relocate portions of Navy 
fencing. The committee is aware that such discharges also cause 
secondary impacts to local Navy operations, such as beach 
closures at Naval Base Coronado in areas that are prime nesting 
grounds for the Western Snowy Plover and the California Least 
Tern. Increased regulatory actions by State and Federal 
environmental protection agencies may be levied if the quality 
and safety of these species' nesting areas are affected, which 
will negatively constrain military activities in these areas.
    The committee is concerned that future spills, discharges, 
and debris from the Tijuana River may have more significant 
impacts on the military installations and operations in the San 
Diego region. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of 
the Navy to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services and other committees of jurisdiction in the House, not 
later than December 1, 2018, detailing whether such spills, 
discharges, and debris have any impact on the national security 
interests of the United States; whether there is a need to 
avoid future spills to prevent impacts to training, 
installations, and operations; and what actions might be taken 
to resolve or mitigate these impacts. As necessary, the 
Secretary is encouraged to coordinate with the Department of 
State, the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of 
Homeland Security (to include U.S. Customs and Border Patrol 
and the U.S. Coast Guard), the International Boundary and Water 
Commission, and the Department of the Interior on this briefing 
requirement.

    Section 2201--Authorized Navy Construction and Land Acquisition 
                                Projects

    This section would contain the list of authorized Navy 
construction projects for fiscal year 2019. The authorized 
amounts are listed on an installation-by-installation basis. 
The State list contained in this Act is intended to be the 
binding list of the specific projects authorized at each 
location.

                      Section 2202--Family Housing

    This section would authorize new construction and planning 
and design of family housing units for the Department of the 
Navy for fiscal year 2019.

      Section 2203--Improvements to Military Family Housing Units

    This section would authorize the Secretary of the Navy to 
make improvements to existing units of family housing for 
fiscal year 2019.

          Section 2204--Authorization of Appropriations, Navy

    This section would authorize appropriations for Navy 
military construction at the levels identified in section 4601 
of division D of this Act.

              TITLE XXIII--AIR FORCE MILITARY CONSTRUCTION

                                SUMMARY

    The budget request contained $1,725,707,000 for Air Force 
military construction and $395,720,000 for family housing for 
fiscal year 2019. The committee recommends authorization of 
appropriations of $1,570,773,000 for military construction and 
$395,720,000 for family housing for the Air Force in fiscal 
year 2019.

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                   Explanation of Funding Adjustments

    The committee recommends the inclusion of funding for 
several projects requested by the Department of the Air Force 
but not contained in the budget request for military 
construction and family housing. These increases include:
    (1) $26.0 million for a Dormitory (168 personnel) at Little 
Rock Air Force Base, Arkansas;
    (2) $26.0 million for a Composite Aircraft Antenna 
Calibration facility at Hill Air Force Base, Utah;
    (3) $15.0 million for an AGE Facility at Davis-Monthan Air 
Force Base, Arizona;
    (4) $14.2 million for Anti-Terrorism Perimeter Security/
Entry Control Point at Rome Laboratory, New York;
    (5) $14.0 million for Add-Alter Joint Personnel Recovery 
Agency Command and Control Mission Support Facility at 
Fairchild Air Force Base-White Bluff, Washington;
    (6) $13.0 million for a Child Development Center at Joint 
Base Andrews, Maryland;
    (7) $12.25 million for an Entrance Road and Gate Complex at 
Barksdale Air Force Base, Louisiana;
    (8) $9.0 million for a Main Gate at Patrick Air Force Base, 
Florida;
    (9) $8.0 million for a Military Working Dog Facility at 
Joint Base Andrews, Maryland; and
    (10) $7.0 million for Wyoming Gate Upgrade for Anti-
Terrorism Compliance at Kirtland Air Force Base, New Mexico.
    The committee also recommends the inclusion of $50.0 
million for the Secretary of the Air Force, with prior 
notification to Congress, to carry out projects intended to 
enhance force protection and safety. The committee recommends 
the Secretary use this authority to alleviate deficiencies in 
access control points, air traffic control towers, fire 
stations, and anti-terrorism and force protection.
    Finally, the committee recommends reduction of funding for 
several projects contained in the budget request submitted by 
the Department of the Air Force for military construction and 
family housing. These reductions include:
    (1) $185.0 million for the MIT-Lincoln Laboratory (West Lab 
CSL/MIF) at Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts. The 
committee supports the requirement for this project and 
provides the full project authorization of $225.0 million 
included in the budget request. However, the committee supports 
the authorization of appropriations in an amount equivalent to 
the ability of the Department to execute in the year of the 
authorization for appropriations. For this project, the 
committee believes that Department of the Air Force cannot 
fully expend the funding in fiscal year 2019. Therefore, the 
committee recommends an authorization of appropriation of $40.0 
million, a reduction of $185.0 million, for this project.
    (2) $55.1 million for the ADAL Intelligence Production 
Complex (NASIC) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. The 
budget request included $116.1 million to construct the first 
phase of the construction of additional workspace for 
intelligence analysis and production to support the National 
Air and Space Intelligence Center. The committee supports the 
requirement for this project and is aware that a $66.0 million 
second phase is planned in a future program but is needed to 
support the full mission requirement. The committee believes it 
is more appropriate to authorize the full scope of a military 
construction requirement and provide incremental funding as 
opposed to bifurcating a construction project into separate 
phases. Therefore, the committee recommends combining the two 
phases into a single project and provides a total authorization 
of $182.0 million for the ADAL Intelligence Production Complex 
at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. However, the 
committee supports the authorization of appropriations in an 
amount equivalent to the ability of the Department to execute 
in the year of the authorization for appropriations. For this 
project, the committee believes that Department of the Air 
Force cannot fully expend the funding in fiscal year 2019. 
Therefore, the committee recommends an authorization of 
appropriation of $61.0 million, a reduction of $55.1 million, 
for this project.
    (3) $40.0 million for a Personnel Deployment Processing 
facility at Al Udeid, Qatar. The committee supports this 
requirement. However, the committee recommends no funds in the 
base budget, a reduction of $40.0 million, for this project in 
order to transfer this project to Title XXIX, Overseas 
Contingency Operations Military Construction.
    (4) $30.884 million for the Presidential Aircraft Recap 
Complex, Increment 2 at Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland. The 
committee supports the requirement for this project, but notes 
that an additional $24.884 million was provided in the 
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2018 (Public Law 115-141), 
which was signed into law after the budget request for fiscal 
year 2019 was submitted. In addition, the committee notes an 
additional $6.0 million was included in the project for site 
preparation work that is no longer required. Therefore, the 
committee recommends an authorization of appropriation of 
$123.116 million, a reduction of $30.884 million, for this 
project.
    (5) $30.4 million for Flightline Support facilities at Al 
Udeid, Qatar. The committee supports this requirement. However, 
the committee recommends no funds in the base budget, a 
reduction of $30.4 million, for this project in order to 
transfer this project to Title XXIX, Overseas Contingency 
Operations Military Construction.
    (6) $8.0 million for Planning and Design. The committee 
recommends an authorization of appropriation of $187.577 
million, a reduction of $8.0 million, for planning and design 
activities.

   Infrastructure Investments in Support of Research and Development 
                               Contracts

    The committee notes that section 2353 of title 10, United 
States Code, provides the secretary of a military department 
the authority to provide for the acquisition or construction of 
facilities and equipment by either the Government or the 
contractor that the secretary concerned determines to be 
necessary for the performance of a contract for research, 
development, or both. However, the committee notes that the Air 
Force Instruction (AFI) approval process currently used to 
approve projects seeking to use this authority may not be 
appropriate for the circumstances at certain research 
facilities. Specifically, the committee notes that the current 
AFI-32 series is used for traditional military construction 
projects, and does not adequately address construction funded 
through contracts for research, development, or both. 
Therefore, the addition of language to AFIs pertinent to 
acquisition and construction of facilities and equipment 
authorized by section 2353 of title 10, United States Code, may 
be more appropriate and necessary for the implementation of 
this authority. The committee believes the Secretary of the Air 
Force should closely examine this issue and issue a revised 
AFI, as appropriate, that better supports the use of section 
2353 of title 10, United States Code.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than September 30, 2018, on the results of a 
review of the authorities that support the acquisition or 
construction of facilities and equipment for research and 
development contracts, the supporting AFIs to carry out such 
projects, and any plans to update the AFI to better utilize the 
existing authorities.

           TITLE XXIV--DEFENSE AGENCIES MILITARY CONSTRUCTION

                                SUMMARY

    The budget request contained $2,693,324,000 for defense 
agency military construction and $58,373,000 for family housing 
for fiscal year 2019. The committee recommends authorization of 
appropriations of $2,473,338,000 for military construction and 
$58,373,000 for family housing for defense agencies for fiscal 
year 2019.

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                   Explanation of Funding Adjustments

    The committee notes the budget request submitted by the 
Department of Defense for military construction and family 
housing included $150.0 million for the Energy Resilience and 
Conservation Investment Program. The committee supports this 
program and encourages the Department of Defense to continue to 
emphasize projects that will support increased resiliency of 
military installations and mission critical functions. 
Therefore, the committee recommends an authorization of 
appropriation of $165.0 million, an increase of $15.0 million, 
for this program.
    In addition, the committee recommends reduction of funding 
for several projects contained in the budget request submitted 
by the Department of Defense for military construction and 
family housing. These reductions include:
    (1) $130.386 million for Kinnick High School at Yokosuka, 
Japan. The committee supports the requirement for this project 
and provides the full project authorization of $170.386 million 
included in the budget request. However, the committee supports 
the authorization of appropriations in an amount equivalent to 
the ability of the Department to execute in the year of the 
authorization for appropriations. For this project, the 
committee believes that Department of Defense cannot fully 
expend the funding in fiscal year 2019. Therefore, the 
committee recommends an authorization of appropriation of $40.0 
million, a reduction of $130.386 million, for this project.
    (2) $44.0 million for Long Range Discrimination Radar 
System Complex, Phase 2 at Clear Air Force Station, Alaska. The 
committee supports the requirement for this project and 
provides the full project authorization of $174.0 million 
included in the budget request. However, the committee supports 
the authorization of appropriations in an amount equivalent to 
the ability of the Department to execute in the year of the 
authorization for appropriations. For this project, the 
committee believes that Department of the Defense cannot fully 
expend the funding in fiscal year 2019. Therefore, the 
committee recommends an authorization of appropriation of 
$130.0 million, a reduction of $44.0 million, for this project.
    (3) $32.6 million for Next NGA West (N2W) Complex, Phase 1, 
Increment 2 in St. Louis, Missouri. The committee supports the 
requirement for this project, but notes that an additional 
$25.0 million was provided in the Consolidated Appropriations 
Act, 2018 (Public Law 115-141), which was signed into law after 
the budget request for fiscal year 2019 was submitted. In 
addition, the committee notes that the Office of Management and 
Budget has directed the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency 
not to award the project until receiving the full appropriation 
for both increments, resulting in a cost increase of $7.6 
million due to the delay in award. As noted elsewhere in this 
report, the committee believes such a policy is not in the best 
interest of the Department of Defense or the taxpayer. 
Therefore, the committee recommends an authorization of 
appropriation of $181.0 million, a reduction of $32.6 million, 
for this project.
    (4) $10.0 million for an Ambulatory Care Center Addition/
Alteration at RAF Croughton, United Kingdom. The committee 
notes this facility may be early-to-need based on an ongoing 
analysis of alternatives related to a separate military 
construction requirement. Therefore, the committee recommends 
no funds, a reduction of $10.0 million, for this project.
    (5) $10.0 million for Contingency Construction at 
Unspecified Worldwide Locations. The budget request included 
$10.0 million to support contingency construction requirements 
not previously authorized by law. While the committee notes 
this authority was used for a project in fiscal year 2018, 
unobligated balances remain available in the military 
construction account and other authorities exist to construct 
projects that are in keeping with a national security interest. 
As such, the committee recommends no funds, a reduction of 
$10.0 million, for this program.
    (6) $8.0 million for Missile Field #1 Expansion at Fort 
Greely, Alaska. The committee notes that the Continuing 
Appropriations Act, 2018 and Supplemental Appropriations for 
Disaster Relief Requirements Act, 2017 (Public Law 115-56) 
provided $200.0 million for the construction of an additional 
20 silos at Missile Field #4. The committee questions why the 
requirement for the additional expansion of Missile Field #1 
was not included in the previous request. In addition, the 
committee notes that this project could be carried out as a 
minor military construction project and does not require 
specific authorization. Therefore, the committee recommends no 
funds, a reduction of $8.0 million, for this project.

appropriations of $171,064,000 for NSIP for fiscal year 2019.

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


  Facilities and Infrastructure for U.S. Military Personnel at North 
             Atlantic Treaty Organization Host Nation Bases

    The committee appreciates its ongoing and cooperative 
dialogue with the Department of Defense regarding efforts to 
improve infrastructure and facilities for U.S. military 
personnel stationed at North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
(NATO) host nation bases. As NATO continues to strengthen and 
update its posture in response to increasing threats, the 
committee believes that the United States, NATO, and individual 
host nations must recapitalize facilities and infrastructure 
that support the NATO mission.
    Based on site visits and direct oversight, the committee is 
pleased that the Kingdom of Belgium has taken several 
unilateral steps and applied its own funding to improve the 
security posture at several bases hosting U.S. personnel. 
However, the committee is disappointed that longstanding plans 
to recapitalize certain facilities at Belgian bases have not 
yet been executed. The committee understands that, over a 
decade ago, NATO allocated common funding to construct several 
new, modern facilities in Belgium to replace inadequate, 
decades-old buildings. But, due to bureaucratic delays outside 
of the control of NATO and the U.S. Government, the new 
facilities have not yet been built and U.S. personnel continue 
to work and operate in antiquated, substandard, and potentially 
unsafe facilities. The committee is aware of recent discussions 
between senior officials from the U.S. and Belgium on this 
issue, and is pleased that officials from both nations are 
working together to execute recapitalization plans. The 
committee encourages Belgium, NATO, and the U.S. Government to 
find and execute a near-term solution to this serious problem.

    The budget request contained $267,538,000 for activities 
related to Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) activities. The 
committee recommends authorization of appropriations of 
$322,868,000 for BRAC activities.

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                   Explanation of Funding Adjustments

    The committee notes the budget request submitted by the 
Department of Defense for activities related to Base 
Realignment and Closure (BRAC) included $322.868 million for 
the activities related to recommendations from the previous

         TITLE XXVIII--MILITARY CONSTRUCTION GENERAL PROVISIONS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


            Allied Pilot Training on Advanced Pilot Trainer

    The committee understands that as the U.S. Air Force 
evaluates proposals for the Advanced Pilot Trainer (T-X) to 
make a final award in 2018, it will also be conducting an 
analysis of each undergraduate pilot training base to determine 
when the T-X will replace the T-38C Talon currently in service 
at those bases. Undergraduate pilot training lays the 
foundation for all pilots that will fly advanced fighter 
aircraft, including pilots from allies and partners who will 
fly American fighter aircraft variants. It is critical that 
pilots from allies and partners also receive opportunities to 
adequately prepare to fly these aircraft. Therefore, the 
committee recommends that the Secretary of the Air Force, when 
evaluating locations for basing the T-X, consider the 
importance of locations that also provide training to allies 
and partners.

         Comptroller General Review of Utilities Privatization

    The committee continues to support the utility 
privatization program and other alternative financing 
arrangements to achieve greater efficiencies, improve 
reliability and resiliency of utility systems, and reduce 
operating costs to the Department of Defense. While the 
Department has leveraged this authority for approximately 20 
years, the committee notes with concern the amount of time it 
can take to complete a utility privatization project, from 
initial feasibility review by the military department to award 
of a contract to a utility provider. The committee is aware of 
instances where the process took more than 5 years from 
analysis to award. After two decades of experience with 
utilities privatization, the committee is concerned that 
procedures have not improved. The Department's protracted 
process for awarding privatization contracts deters potential 
utility providers from considering such a contract.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to review the Department's utility 
privatization program and submit a report to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
not later than September 30, 2019, on his findings and 
recommendations. Specifically, the report shall address the 
following for each military service:
    (1) the specific steps of the utility privatization 
process, the average amount of time to complete each step, and 
the contributing factors for the time each step takes;
    (2) the extent to which best practices have been identified 
and are shared between the services and the Defense Logistics 
Agency, and other stakeholders to improve the process; and
    (3) any recommendations to help improve the process as 
determined to be appropriate by the Comptroller General.

                Core Sampling at Joint Base San Antonio

    The Committee notes that Joint Base San Antonio is served 
by a wastewater pipeline, known as W-6 that is subject to a 
Consent Decree with the Environmental Protection Agency 
requiring its replacement. The local utility providing 
wastewater service is the San Antonio Water System, an agency 
of the City of San Antonio, Texas. This pipeline is critical to 
the functional wastewater system of Joint Base San Antonio, the 
City of San Antonio, and Bexar County. The Committee believes 
that the timely replacement of the pipeline is in the best 
interests of both Joint Base San Antonio and the community. The 
proposed route of the replacement pipeline would traverse a 
part of the base that contains capped and closed landfills with 
uncertain contents. The committee understands that the Air 
Force and the City are currently at an impasse on the liability 
for any contamination discovered during site investigations of 
the proposed pipeline route and during construction and 
subsequent maintenance and operation of a new pipeline. Given 
the hazards posed by the condition of the existing pipeline to 
the population on Joint Base San Antonio, and the legal 
requirements for replacing the pipeline under the Consent 
Decree, the Committee encourages the Secretary of the Air Force 
to work with the City of San Antonio toward an amicable and 
rapid resolution.
    To establish an estimate of liability that will allow 
informed decisions, the Committee encourages the Secretary of 
the Air Force to conduct core sampling along the proposed route 
of the new pipe to determine if any regulated or hazardous 
substances are present in the soil along the proposed route and 
the concentrations of any such substances. Furthermore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a 
briefing to the House Armed Services Committee, not later than 
September 30, 2018, on the whether or not the Air Force 
performed such core sampling and the results of the core 
sampling performed. If the Air Force did not perform such core 
sampling, the briefing shall include a detailed explanation for 
the reasons such sampling was not performed. At the time of the 
briefing, the Secretary should also provide an update on the 
status of negotiations with the San Antonio Water System and 
proposed way-ahead for the site investigations and construction 
of the W-6 replacement pipeline.

              Department of Defense Lands Leases in Hawaii

    The Department of Defense has multiple land leases in 
Hawaii that require renegotiation and renewal within the next 
15 years, including the Pohakuloa Training Area, Kahuku 
Training Area, Makua Military Reservation, and Poamoho Training 
Area. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to report to the House Committee on Armed Services on efforts 
to renew Department of Defense leases in Hawaii by July 31, 
2018.

         Incremental Funding of Military Construction Projects

    As noted elsewhere in this report, the committee continues 
to believe in the value and appropriateness of incrementally 
authorizing appropriations for certain military construction 
projects. The committee notes that the Office of Management and 
Budget has directed the Department of Defense to not plan, 
program, or request incremental funded projects. However, the 
committee believes that allowing the Department to seek 
incremental funding for certain projects ensures more stability 
and predictability in the planning process, reduces acquisition 
costs, and enables the Department to execute more work in place 
on other infrastructure requirements in the fiscal year. 
Furthermore, the committee believes that incremental funding of 
large and complex military construction projects ensures 
continuous oversight and opportunities to adjust the 
authorization of appropriation level for projects should issues 
arise or requirements change over the course of construction. 
To date, the committee is not aware of any example where a 
military construction project has been left with inadequate 
funding or has not been executable as a result of an 
incremental funding approach. The committee expects the 
Secretary of Defense and the Director of the Office of 
Management and Budget to work with the House Committee on Armed 
Services, and the other appropriate congressional oversight 
committees, to develop a framework that enables the planning, 
programming, budgeting, and execution of incrementally funded 
military construction projects.

                        Naval Academy Dairy Farm

    The committee is aware the Secretary of the Navy is 
currently prohibited by section 6976 of title 10, United States 
Code from disposing of 875 acres of real property containing 
the Naval Academy dairy farm located in Gambrills, Maryland. 
The committee notes that this prohibition has been in place for 
more than twenty years and believes that it should be 
reexamined. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of 
the Navy to provide a report to the House Armed Services 
Committee, not later than September 30, 2018, regarding the 
real property containing the Naval Academy dairy farm. At 
minimum, the report shall address the current use and 
activities taking place on the property, an assessment of the 
continued need for the property to be retained by the Navy, and 
an evaluation of potential future uses for the property, 
including conveyance to a local county or municipality. In 
addition, the report should address how the Navy would continue 
supporting the functions and activities that benefit from the 
proceeds of current leases of the real property.

                    Operational Energy Technologies

    The committee is aware of a variety of technologies that 
may improve operational flexibility, enhance logistics, and 
reduce supply lines for forces operating in deployed 
environments, to include the ability to convert natural gas to 
tactical fuels, improve power generation, distribution, and 
storage in deployed environments, and increase the range and 
capability of tactical vehicles. The committee is supportive of 
these efforts and encourages the Department of Defense to 
transition such natural gas to tactical fuel technologies from 
the research and development stage in support of operational 
requirements. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to provide a briefing to the House Armed Services 
Committee, not later than March 1, 2019, that outlines steps 
the Department is taking, to include resourcing and timelines 
for maturation of operational energy technologies, to 
transition such technologies to full scale demonstrations and 
commercial production.

                    Privatization of On-Base Lodging

    The committee supports the ongoing efforts of the Secretary 
of Defense to make Department of Defense business operations 
more efficient. As the Secretary of Defense noted in his 
February 2017 Memorandum, this efficiency will free up 
resources to enable ``a larger, more capable and more lethal 
Joint force.'' One of the ways to accomplish this is to find 
savings in areas that may no longer merit individual military 
department approaches, particularly in non-core functions. To 
that end, the committee notes that the Army has privatized its 
on-base lodging operations and understands this effort has 
resulted in upgraded on-base lodging facilities, an improved 
experience for the military traveler, annual savings for the 
Army, and a self-sustaining lodging program. The committee is 
aware that the Department is considering options to consolidate 
and privatize Navy and Air Force on-base lodging.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
and the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services, not later than March 1, 
2019, on how the Navy and Air Force will ensure holistic 
sustainability and affordability of their lodging programs. At 
a minimum, the briefing shall include details on capital 
investment needs to correct facility configuration and capacity 
deficiencies, provision of adequate long-term sustainment of 
facilities, and the implementation of best practices that will 
maximize reductions in government manpower and operational 
costs for Navy and Air Force on-base lodging programs.

Relocation of Defense Non-Tactical Generator and Rail Equipment Center, 
                       Hill Air Force Base, Utah

    The committee is aware of the Department of the Army's 
decision to relocate the Defense Non-Tactical Generator and 
Rail Equipment Center (DGRC) from Hill Air Force Base, Utah, to 
Anniston Army Depot, Alabama. The committee is also aware the 
Utah Department of Transportation plans to construct a new 
interchange at the current site of the DGRC and State funding 
is programmed in 2022. The committee understands that the Army, 
Air Force, and State of Utah must undertake a number of actions 
before the DGRC parcel may be transferred and encourages the 
Secretary of the Air Force to begin discussions as soon as 
practicable with the Utah Department of Transportation to 
ensure the orderly transfer of the property by 2022.
    Furthermore, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Army, in coordination with the Secretary of the Air Force, to 
submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives not later than January 
31, 2019, on the detailed plan for executing the relocation of 
the DGRC and all actions necessary to ultimately transfer 
property to the Utah Department of Transportation. The report 
shall provide a detailed plan and timeline to relocate this 
mission to Anniston Army Depot and all necessary construction 
or renovation of facilities at Anniston Army Depot. The report 
should also include all actions necessary to enable transfer of 
Air Force property on Hill Air Force Base to the Utah 
Department of Transportation, to include the demolition of 
facilities, the construction or renovation of facilities, 
environmental remediation required, funding programmed to 
facilitate the transfer of the property to the Utah Department 
of Transportation, and any constraints to the execution of the 
transfer of the property by 2022.

                    Wireless Communications on Base

    The committee recognizes that some military installations 
are located in rural areas with limited wireless communications 
coverage. There are also installations that cover such a large 
amount of land that communications infrastructure outside the 
fence line is unable to provide consistent or optimal service 
to portions of the installation. The committee believes that 
wireless communications coverage on military installations not 
only provide valuable support for the quality of life for 
service members and their families, but also can support 
military requirements related to force protection, logistics, 
training, or operations. The committee is aware that the Navy 
is considering using real estate agreements, such as easements 
and enhanced use leases, to allow commercial industry to 
develop communications infrastructure on its installations to 
improve service and connectivity. The committee is aware that 
the Army and Air Force have also expressed a desire to improve 
wireless communications capabilities on military installations 
but may not be taking the same approach as the Navy. Therefore, 
the committee directs the service secretaries to provide a 
briefing to the House Armed Services Committee, not later than 
September 30, 2018, on each of the military departments' 
requirements, plans, and timelines for improving communications 
coverage and capabilities on its installations.

                             Yucca Mountain

    Pursuant to the Nuclear Waste Policy Act, the Department of 
Energy (DOE) plans to permanently dispose of high-level nuclear 
waste at Yucca Mountain, Nevada, located on DOE's Nevada 
National Security Site (NNSS), which would require 
transportation of nuclear waste to the repository. The 
committee has been briefed on DOE's proposed route to transport 
the waste to Yucca Mountain, and understands the route is 
located near DOE activities at NNSS and Department of Defense 
(DOD) activities at the Nevada Test and Training Range (NTTR). 
In 2017, Secretary of the Air Force Heather Wilson stated that, 
``if Yucca Mountain becomes a storage area it needs to operate 
without impacting the ability of the country to defend 
itself,'' and, ``there is no route across the range that would 
not impact testing and training.'' Documents provided to the 
committee by the Air Force indicate that although the proposed 
route is located outside of the boundaries of NTTR, several 
sections of the route would border the range, and this siting 
of the rail line was confirmed in a DOE Record of Decision and 
Environmental Impact Statement.
    The NTTR provides the largest air and ground military 
training space in the contiguous United States, free from 
commercial aircraft interference, and stores 75 percent of 
stateside Air Force live munitions. The NNSS provides DOE and 
other government agencies unique, high-hazard testing 
environments. Both facilities are national assets.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Secretary of Energy, to submit a report 
to the congressional defense committees, not later than January 
15, 2019, describing any impacts that the Yucca Mountain 
Project would have on DOD and DOE activities at NNSS, NTTR, and 
any other defense facilities in proximity to Yucca Mountain or 
the proposed transportation route.

   TITLE XXIX--OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS MILITARY CONSTRUCTION

                                SUMMARY

    The budget request contained $921,420,000 for Overseas 
Contingency Operations military construction for fiscal year 
2019. The committee recommends authorization of appropriations 
of $921,420,000 for Overseas Contingency Operations military 
construction for fiscal year 2019.

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                   Explanation of Funding Adjustments

    The committee recommends reduction of funding for a project 
contained in the Overseas Contingency Operations budget request 
submitted by the Department of Defense for military 
construction. This reduction is:
    (1) $69.0 million for a High Value Detention Facility at 
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The Department of Defense did not provide 
the committee sufficient justification for the need to 
construct a new, permanent facility with increased capacity and 
capabilities. In addition, the committee notes that while the 
current facility may not be ideally configured, it is still 
capable of meeting current and foreseeable detention 
requirements. Therefore, the committee recommends no funds, a 
reduction of $69.0 million, for this project.
    As noted earlier in this report, the committee recommended 
a reduction in funding for several projects included in the 
base budget request in order to transfer them to the Overseas 
Contingency Operations title of this Act. Therefore, the 
committee recommends a commensurate increase in the Overseas 
Contingency Operations account to support these projects. 
Specifically, these projects include:
    (1) $40.0 million for a Personnel Deployment Processing 
facility at Al Udeid, Qatar; and
    (2) $30.4 million for Flightline Support facilities at Al 
Udeid, Qatar.

                         LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS

             Section 2905--Authorization of Appropriations

    This section would authorize appropriations for Overseas 
Contingency Operations military construction at the levels 
identified in section 4602 of division D.

  Section 2906--Restrictions on Use of Funds for Planning and Design 
            Costs of European Deterrence Initiative Projects

    This section would limit the ability of the secretaries 
concerned from using any of the amounts authorized to be 
appropriated for planning and design of military construction 
projects requested under the European Deterrence Initiative 
until the Secretary of Defense submits a list of the military 
construction projects to support the European Deterrence 
Initiative that are anticipated during fiscal year 2019 and at 
least the four succeeding fiscal years. The committee notes its 
support for the European Deterrence Initiative and the military 
construction program that supports it. However, the committee 
believes that it is important for Congress to have a clear 
understanding of the overall military construction plan for 
Europe and the construction projects that will be supported 
with this planning and design funding.

 DIVISION C--DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NATIONAL SECURITY AUTHORIZATIONS AND 
                          OTHER AUTHORIZATIONS

      TITLE XXXI--DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NATIONAL SECURITY PROGRAMS

                                OVERVIEW

    The budget request for fiscal year 2019 contained $21.60 
billion for atomic energy defense activities. The committee 
recommends $21.96 billion, an increase of $357.0 million to the 
budget request.

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                National Nuclear Security Administration


                                Overview

    The budget request for fiscal year 2019 contained $15.09 
billion for the programs of the National Nuclear Security 
Administration. The committee recommends $15.40 billion, an 
increase of $307.0 million to the budget request.

                           Weapons Activities


Defense Nuclear Security and related construction projects

    The budget request contained $690.6 million for Defense 
Nuclear Security at the National Nuclear Security 
Administration (NNSA). This funding supports day-to-day 
security operations across the nuclear security enterprise, as 
well as sustainment and recapitalization of physical security 
infrastructure and equipment. This does not include certain 
major line item construction projects that would result in 
significant security improvements.
    The committee continues to emphasize the need for sustained 
and focused NNSA and Department of Energy leadership attention 
on physical security efforts within the nuclear security 
enterprise. The security certifications required by section 
2657 of title 50, United States Code, were intended to ensure 
the Administrator for Nuclear Security and the Secretary of 
Energy focus significant personal attention on the issue and 
are accountable for both progress and problems. Further, the 
congressionally mandated Center for Security Technology, 
Analysis, Response, and Testing, the Security Management 
Improvement Plan, and Security Infrastructure Revitalization 
Program have helped provide a solid knowledge base of physical 
security expertise and clear direction for a program that must 
be continuously vigilant and improving. The committee commends 
these steps, but continues to seek further progress on two 
major line item construction projects that will support both 
improved security and accomplishment of NNSA's mission 
deliverables: the West End Protected Area Reduction Project at 
the Y-12 National Security Complex, and the Material Staging 
Facility at the Pantex Plant.
    The committee recommends $701.6 million for Defense Nuclear 
Security, an increase of $11.0 million to the budget request, 
$9.0 million for the West End Protected Area Reduction project, 
and $24.0 million for the Material Staging Facility.

Directed Stockpile Work

    The budget request included $4.67 billion for Directed 
Stockpile Work (DSW), including life extension programs (LEP) 
and major alterations, stockpile systems, stockpile services, 
and strategic materials. The committee continues to believe the 
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) must emphasize 
these programs and capabilities that directly support and 
enable NNSA's deliverables to the Department of Defense.
    The W76-1 LEP will soon complete production and its 
successful delivery to the Navy is a notable achievement. This 
weapon will soon comprise approximately 70 percent of the 
nation's operationally deployed strategic warheads. Production 
engineering on the B61-12 LEP continues, and the committee will 
closely oversee capacity and throughput challenges to ensure it 
stays on track for delivery of a first production unit and 
associated capabilities by December 2019. This weapon will be 
both a tangible and credible extended deterrent for U.S. 
allies, as well as form an important component of the United 
States' own strategic deterrent. The W88 ALT 370, with its 
refresh of components and high explosives, will produce a 
modernized warhead that will ensure its reliability for 
decades. And the W80-4 LEP will produce a warhead for the 
future long-range standoff (LRSO) cruise missile, which 
supports the air leg of the strategic triad. The committee will 
continue to track alignment between the W80-4 LEP and the LRSO 
program itself. Finally, the W76-2 program will produce a 
lower-yield submarine-launched ballistic missile warhead, as 
proposed by the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review. Aligning initial 
production of the W76-2 with the end of production of the W76-1 
will help minimize costs and ensure timely production and 
deployment.
    The committee recommends $4.66 billion for Directed 
Stockpile Work, a decrease of $8.0 million to the budget 
request.

Domestic uranium

    The committee understands that recent market trends, 
foreign competition, and other factors have had significant 
negative impacts on the nation's domestic uranium industry. For 
instance, the domestic uranium mining industry has diminished 
such that in recent years domestic suppliers provide less than 
5 percent of U.S. demand for uranium. Additionally, all 
domestically owned uranium enrichment facilities have been 
closed.
    The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) is 
conducting an analysis of alternatives (AOA), due for 
completion in 2020, regarding if and how to reconstitute a 
domestic uranium enrichment capability for national security 
purposes. In its review of NNSA's AOA guidance, the Comptroller 
General of the United States found that NNSA's mission needs 
statement was limited in scope, showed preference toward a 
particular solution, and did not include the potential for 
enrichment facilities that meet multiple mission needs beyond 
just tritium production. The Comptroller General also found 
that NNSA's cost estimates for two potential enrichment 
technologies, which ranged from $3.8 billion to $14.0 billion 
depending on the technology and assumptions, only partially or 
minimally met best practice standards for being comprehensive, 
credible, well-documented, and accurate.
    The committee also notes that policy changes must be 
considered as part of the AOA, including changes that would 
enable the current supply of unobligated fuel to last longer 
and changes that would revise domestic policies or 
international agreements regarding limitations on the use of 
obligated fuel. The committee believes this AOA must be 
comprehensive and data-driven, and expects NNSA to update the 
mission needs statement and AOA guidance to address the 
Government Accountability Office's recommendations.
    While the AOA is underway, the committee believes NNSA must 
be mindful of ensuring U.S. technical expertise for uranium 
does not atrophy and that both mature and less-mature 
technology options continue to be advanced. The committee also 
believes NNSA and the wider Federal Government must be mindful 
of any short- or long-term implications for national security 
if the domestic uranium industry as a whole is moribund.
    To enable its oversight of these issues, the committee 
directs the Administrator for Nuclear Security, in consultation 
with appropriate officials from the Department of Energy and 
other agencies, to provide a briefing to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
by November 30, 2018, on the state of the domestic uranium 
industry in general, its impacts on national security, and the 
status of NNSA's ongoing analysis of alternatives related to 
domestic uranium enrichment. Such briefing should include:
    (1) an assessment of commercial market trends, Department 
of Energy excess uranium sales, Federal regulations and 
policies, enrichment capacity, and foreign imports;
    (2) details on how NNSA is sustaining technical expertise 
in domestically owned uranium enrichment technologies while its 
analysis of alternatives is ongoing and no domestically owned 
source of enriched uranium is operational;
    (3) NNSA's plans to revise and clarify the mission needs 
statement, as recommended by the Comptroller General;
    (4) how NNSA intends to consider a comprehensive range of 
options in the AOA, including policy changes such as 
reexamining the mixture of obligated and unobligated fuel used 
in reactors in proportion to tritium production and energy 
production, and revisions regarding limitations on the use of 
obligated fuel;
    (5) how NNSA will ensure that cost estimates of all options 
are consistent with best practices, and how the cost estimates 
are aligned with the updated scope of need.

Fusion technology pathways

    The committee is aware of several different paths that may, 
some day, lead to viable fusion-based energy production and 
believes such a breakthrough would have extraordinary 
implications for energy security, national security, and the 
world in general. The committee is also cognizant that fusion-
based energy production has been a long-sought outcome of the 
high energy density physics community, but has yet to yield 
anticipated results. The committee understands that tokamak 
technology is of particular interest in the scientific 
community for its potential to achieve viability for fusion 
energy production.
    To better understand the state of science and technology 
development in this field, the committee directs the 
Administrator for Nuclear Security, in coordination with the 
directors of appropriate national laboratories and appropriate 
officials of the Department of Energy, to provide a briefing to 
the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives 
by February 1, 2019, on fusion energy technology development. 
Such briefing should review and assess all potential fusion 
technology paths, particularly technologies related to the 
tokamaks and the use of divertor test facilities to better 
understand remaining challenges for dealing with hot plasma 
exhaust. In addition, the briefing should assess fusion 
technology paths, their viability as a potential future power 
source, remaining risks and challenges associated with such 
technologies, any complementary research and development that 
is needed or ongoing, any implications of such research and 
technologies for the programs of the National Nuclear Security 
Administration, and any other matters the Administrator 
determines appropriate to enhance the committee's oversight and 
understanding.

Inertial Confinement Fusion

    The budget request included $418.9 million for the Inertial 
Confinement Fusion (ICF) Ignition and High Yield program at the 
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).
    In the absence of nuclear explosive testing, this program 
provides for specialized expertise and unique facilities to 
better understand high energy density science and the operation 
of nuclear weapons. The budget request proposed a significant 
decrease in funding for ICF, including initiation of ``a three-
year ramp-down in NNSA's financial commitment to . . . the 
Omega Laser Facility, resulting in the cessation of the 
financial assistance agreement,'' and reductions in funding for 
both ignition and non-ignition experiments at the National 
Ignition Facility.
    The committee is encouraged by NNSA's proposal to rebalance 
and prioritize funding for programs and capabilities that 
directly support NNSA's deliverables to the Department of 
Defense, recapitalize NNSA's aging infrastructure, and prepare 
for an uncertain future. The committee also notes that the ICF 
program has, so far, failed to achieve fusion ignition, an 
outcome that was long-promised on specific timelines. However, 
the committee also believes that NNSA must carefully consider 
the impacts of its deep proposed reduction to the ICF program, 
particularly on the long-term pipeline of expertise and the 
sustainment of unique capabilities upon which certification of 
the U.S. nuclear stockpile has depended since the cessation of 
nuclear explosive testing.
    To better understand these impacts and deliverables, the 
committee directs the Administrator for Nuclear Security to 
provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives by September 1, 2018, 
on NNSA's plans for the ICF program. Such briefing should 
include the impacts of the proposed budget reductions, any 
risks and risk mitigation options, the sustainability of 
facilities and infrastructure related to the ICF program, plans 
for maintaining a robust pipeline of experts in high energy 
density science and ICF at NNSA, clear criteria and milestones 
for measuring ICF program performance against measurable goals, 
an evaluation of ICF lines of efforts against stated goals, and 
such other matters as the Administrator determines relevant.
    The committee recommends $467.9 million, an increase of 
$49.0 million, for the ICF program.

Infrastructure

    The budget request includes $540.7 million for 
Recapitalization and $365.0 million for Maintenance and Repair 
of Facilities. These programs fund efforts to reduce the large 
backlog of deferred maintenance across the nuclear security 
enterprise and preventative maintenance activities. Combined, 
these programs and the large line item construction projects 
are critical to arresting and reversing the declining state of 
the National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) 
infrastructure.
    Section 3111 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) directed the Administrator 
for Nuclear Security to establish the Infrastructure 
Modernization Initiative (IMI) with a goal of reducing the 
backlog of deferred maintenance and repair needs at NNSA by 30 
percent by 2025. The committee believes that achieving this 
goal is critical to accomplishing NNSA's national security 
mission and to the safety and well-being of NNSA's workforce. 
Section 3111 and section 3119 of Public Law 115-91 also 
provided the Administrator new and enhanced statutory 
authorities to accelerate and streamline action on these 
infrastructure problems. The committee agrees with NNSA's view 
that infrastructure risk is becoming safety risk and mission 
risk and will closely monitor NNSA's progress in implementing 
the IMI and leveraging its associated authorities. The 
committee continues to note the importance of adequately 
resourcing preventative and sustaining maintenance to extend 
the life and increase the safety of its facilities. The 
committee encourages the Administrator to work closely with 
Congress as it prepares and executes the long-term NNSA 
infrastructure strategy.
    The committee recommends $611.7 million for 
Recapitalization, an increase of $71.0 million to the budget 
request, and $404.0 million for Maintenance and Repair of 
Facilities, an increase of $39.0 million to the budget request.

Lithium and tritium

    The committee continues to conduct oversight of the 
National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) approach to 
managing and ensuring a sustainable supply of key strategic 
materials, and recognizes NNSA's efforts to bring coherency and 
stability to what were previously scattered and decentralized 
efforts. The committee believes that a clear, long-term plan to 
ensure access to these materials is important for the 
credibility of the nuclear deterrent.
    Although NNSA's plans for all of its strategic materials 
would benefit from further clarification and refinement, the 
committee in particular desires increased detail and clarity on 
NNSA's plans with regard to tritium and lithium. As the Nuclear 
Posture Review (NPR) states, ``U.S. production of tritium . . . 
is now insufficient to meet the forthcoming U.S. nuclear force 
sustainment demands, or to hedge against unforeseen 
developments. Programs are planned, but not yet fully funded, 
to ease these critical production shortfalls.'' And as the NPR 
states with regards to lithium: ``The U.S. is also unable to 
produce or process a number of other critical materials, 
including lithium . . . For instance, the United States largely 
relies on dismantling retired warheads to recover lithium to 
sustain and produce deployable warheads. This may be inadequate 
to support the nuclear force replacement program and any 
supplements to it.''
    The committee therefore directs the Administrator for 
Nuclear Security to provide a briefing to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
by November 1, 2018, on NNSA's plans to meet near- and long-
term requirements for tritium and lithium. Such briefing should 
include the requirements, the options and plans to meet such 
requirements, costs associated with these options and plans, 
and the status of any actions underway.

Report on IW-1 and W78 replacement

    The committee notes that the recent Nuclear Posture Review 
(NPR) proposes ``advancing the W78 warhead replacement one year 
to FY19 to support fielding on [the] Ground Based Strategic 
Deterrent (GBSD) by 2030.'' The NPR also discusses ``exploring 
future ballistic missile warhead requirements based on the 
threats and vulnerabilities of potential adversaries, including 
the possibility of common reentry systems between the Air Force 
and Navy,'' but does not directly mention the Interoperable 
Warhead-1 (IW-1) program.
    However, the fiscal year 2019 budget request for the 
National Nuclear Security Administration includes $53.0 million 
for the IW-1 restart of the Phase 6.2 work (Feasibility Study & 
Design Options) on this program. The budget request 
justification materials further say that the IW-1 program 
``will replace the W78 warhead by 2030 and support fielding of 
the U.S. Air Force GBSD missile system planned to replace the 
current Minuteman III ICBM force. Additionally, the program 
will investigate the feasibility of deploying the replacement 
warhead's nuclear explosive package in a US Navy flight body.''
    To clarify and better understand the direction of this 
program, the committee directs the Administrator for Nuclear 
Security, in coordination with the Chairman of the Nuclear 
Weapons Council, to provide a report to the congressional 
defense committees no later than January 15, 2019, on the 
status of the W78 replacement, also referenced as the IW-1 
program. Specifically, the report should include, since 
deferral of the program or due to the NPR, any changes in 
requirements, program plans and schedules, assumptions, and 
options and designs being considered or that are preferred.

Secure transportation asset and Mobile Guardian Transporter

    The budget request includes $278.6 million for the National 
Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) Secure Transportation 
Asset. Run by the NNSA Office of Secure Transportation, this 
program provides for the safe and secure transportation of 
nuclear weapons, weapons components, and special nuclear 
materials.
    Within this amount, $51.8 million was requested to continue 
development of the Mobile Guardian Transporter (MGT) program, 
which is developing and procuring new highly-secure trailers to 
replace existing Safeguards Transporter (SGT) trailers that are 
nearing the end of their 20-year service life. The committee 
understands that several SGTs are beginning to show signs of 
significant rusting and structural degradation in key 
locations, that mitigation of this issue is not cost effective, 
and that at least one SGT has been removed from the fleet 
earlier than planned due to this problem.
    The committee is concerned that this issue, or similar 
unexpected issues, if widespread, could undermine NNSA's 
planned risk reduction effort to keep a portion of the SGT 
fleet in operation beyond their 20-year service life while MGT 
is developed. Coupled with NNSA's reduction in its planned 
fiscal year 2019 budget request for MGT, NNSA's ability to meet 
surging transportation requirements in the 2020s could be at 
risk. The committee will oversee the SGT risk reduction effort, 
the MGT development and prototyping effort, and the Secure 
Transportation more broadly to track these important efforts.
    The committee recommends $278.6 million for the Secure 
Transportation Asset, the amount of the budget request.

Streamlined and innovative approaches to non-nuclear construction 
        projects

    Section 3111 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) created the Infrastructure 
Modernization Initiative (IMI) at the National Nuclear Security 
Administration (NNSA) to accelerate and streamline efforts to 
reduce the large backlog of deferred maintenance and repair 
needs across the infrastructure of the nuclear security 
enterprise. As part of IMI, the Secretary of Energy is required 
to provide an enhanced and streamlined process to the 
Administrator for Nuclear Security to construct and demolish 
non-nuclear facilities that cost less than $100.0 million.
    The committee continues to endorse and encourage efforts of 
the Department of Energy (DOE) and NNSA to streamline 
approaches and processes related to constructing these types of 
facilities using commercial standards and best practices, as 
well as efforts to employ innovative approaches. For example, 
new office buildings, light laboratories, fire stations, and 
emergency operations centers currently being planned at sites 
across the nuclear enterprise may be constructed at less cost 
and more quickly if streamlined, commercially-based, or more 
innovative approaches are utilized.
    The committee believes continued focus and action is 
needed. Therefore, the committee directs the Administrator for 
Nuclear Security to provide a briefing to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
by January 15, 2019, on the actions taken by NNSA and DOE to 
implement the IMI, and in particular to carry out a streamlined 
process to construct or demolish non-nuclear facilities costing 
less than $100.0 million. Such briefing should include options 
for further streamlining and accelerating associated processes 
(while retaining applicable safety standards), identification 
of any innovative approaches or pilot programs to accelerate 
construction of such facilities, and such other matters as the 
Administrator determines appropriate.

Weapons Activities and the Future Years Nuclear Security Program

    The budget request contained $11.02 billion for the Weapons 
Activities of the National Nuclear Security Administration 
(NNSA). These programs support NNSA's central mission of 
ensuring and sustaining the safety, security, reliability, and 
credibility of the U.S. nuclear weapon stockpile.
    In previous years, the committee has highlighted the 
comments of senior administration and military officials that 
have expressed concern that NNSA's 5-year, Future Years Nuclear 
Security Program (FYNSP) budget profile was inadequate to meet 
NNSA's programmatic needs. The committee believes NNSA has 
taken noteworthy steps in this regard within its recent budget 
requests and the FYNSP submitted to Congress with the budget 
request for fiscal year 2019. Recent increases have made 
significant strides to address the inadequacy in NNSA funding 
identified by the Secretary of Energy in a December 23, 2015, 
letter to the Director of the White House Office of Management 
and Budget, which said NNSA's 5-year, Future Years Nuclear 
Security Program budget profile, ``does not reflect the funding 
that we estimate is necessary to meet [NNSA] requirements over 
the period . . . we estimate that an additional $5.2 billion 
over FY2018-2021 is needed to establish a viable and 
sustainable program portfolio.''
    Elsewhere in this title, the committee discusses its 
recommendations for increased funding and prioritization for 
several programs within Weapons Activities, including for 
infrastructure, defense nuclear security, and inertial 
confinement fusion.
    The committee recommends $11.22 billion for Weapons 
Activities, an increase of $198.0 million to the budget 
request.

                    Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation


Future nuclear proliferation challenges

    The committee continues to focus on the challenges 
associated with the detection, evaluation, and response to 
emerging nuclear threats, including emerging technologies that 
could lead to technological surprise. Recent advancements in 
materials, manufacturing, computing, and cyber 
interconnectivity indicate that robust efforts are needed to 
identify and develop solutions to ensure the United States can 
continue to reliably detect, define, deter, delay, deny, and 
defeat these threats.
    The committee therefore directs the Administrator for 
Nuclear Security, in coordination with the directors of 
relevant national security laboratories, to provide a briefing 
to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
of Representatives by November 15, 2018, on emerging nuclear 
proliferation threats and the state of our capabilities to 
address these threats. Such briefing should include options for 
novel solutions to meet these challenging threats, leverage on-
going efforts within the national security laboratories, and 
include an estimate of the resources required to respond 
effectively and stay ahead of any emerging threats.

Nuclear Counterterrorism and Incident Response program

    The budget request contained $319.2 million for the Nuclear 
Counterterrorism and Incident Response program of the National 
Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). This program is 
responsible for countering nuclear threats, responding to 
nuclear incidents worldwide, and providing for the Department 
of Energy's emergency management capability.
    The committee continues to highlight the importance and 
value of these programs that leverage the unique capabilities 
and knowledge at NNSA's laboratories for national-level 
response efforts. Though a smaller and often-overlooked part of 
NNSA's portfolio of responsibilities, the personnel within this 
program ensure the nation's warfighters and first responders 
are able to detect, evaluate, and take decisive and technically 
informed action against all types of nuclear threats and 
incidents.
    The budget request includes $32.5 million to procure three 
fixed-wing Aerial Measuring System (AMS) aircraft in fiscal 
year 2019. These aircraft will replace antiquated and 
increasingly difficult to sustain aircraft, and provide NNSA 
enhanced capability to support national and international 
events involving radiological releases. Based on the completed 
analysis of alternatives for AMS, the committee supports this 
recapitalization.
    The committee recommends $319.2 million, the amount of the 
budget request, for the Nuclear Counterterrorism and Incident 
Response program.

                             Naval Reactors


Naval Reactors program

    The budget request contained $1.79 billion for the Naval 
Reactors program. Naval Reactors is responsible for all aspects 
of naval nuclear propulsion efforts, including reactor plant 
technology design and development, reactor plant operation and 
maintenance, and reactor retirement and disposal. The program 
ensures the safe and reliable operation of reactor plants in 
nuclear-powered submarines and aircraft carriers that comprise 
over 45 percent of the Navy's major combatants.
    The committee has long been supportive of the Naval 
Reactors program and believes it is an exceptional example of a 
nuclear-related government program that is mission-driven, 
safety-focused, and well-managed. Due to this success, the 
committee will continue to have very high expectations for 
performance by Naval Reactors, particularly as it develops and 
delivers the life-of-ship reactor for the Columbia-class 
submarines. The committee is encouraged by the strong actions 
taken by Naval Reactors to address a manufacturing problem with 
the prototype electric-drive motor for the Columbia class but 
is mindful that there is no schedule margin remaining for 
delivering this prototype, the reactor, and the Columbia 
itself. The committee notes that, as work on the Columbia-class 
Reactor System Development program ramps down over the 5-year 
Future Years Nuclear Security Program, Naval Reactors is 
planning increases in its Naval Reactors Development funding. 
The committee expects Naval Reactors to more clearly justify 
these proposed increases within future budget requests.
    The budget request includes a significant, long-planned 
increase in funding for Naval Reactors to begin construction of 
the Spent Fuel Handling Recapitalization Project in Idaho and 
refueling of the S8G land-based prototype reactor in New York. 
The committee appreciates Naval Reactors' transparency and 
adherence to its planned budget profile.
    The committee recommends $1.79 billion for the Naval 
Reactors program, the amount of the budget request.

                     Federal Salaries and Expenses


Management and operating contracts for national security laboratories

    The committee notes that the National Nuclear Security 
Administration (NNSA) continues to implement its plans to 
compete its large management and operating (M&O) contracts for 
running the laboratories and plants of the nuclear security 
enterprise. The committee has long conducted oversight of these 
plans to ensure the costs and benefits of the M&O contract 
competitions and overall contracting strategy are appropriately 
weighed. Last year, the committee included section 3138 in the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public 
Law 115-91) to continue this oversight and require an 
independent organization to review NNSA's contracting strategy. 
Among other matters, this review is required to assess the 
current for-profit contracting model for NNSA's nuclear 
security laboratories.
    The committee is aware that the State of New Mexico 
recently considered legislation that would require NNSA and its 
M&O laboratory contractors to continue paying certain State 
taxes as a for-profit entity, even if the M&O contract is 
awarded to a non-profit entity. The committee cautions that 
such an approach may be counterproductive and inappropriately 
interfere with the Federal Government's ability to manage its 
national security laboratories to provide maximum value and 
benefit to national security and U.S. taxpayers. The committee 
understands the important role that these laboratories play in 
their local communities and States, and highlights other means, 
such as payments in lieu of taxes, that the Federal Government 
may leverage to support such local communities.

Security clearance investigations for the nuclear security enterprise

    The committee notes that, while the Office of Personnel 
Management (OPM) has undertaken significant steps to improve 
the security clearance investigation process, the backlog of 
security clearance investigations continues to prevent the 
Federal Government, including the National Nuclear Security 
Administration's (NNSA) nuclear security enterprise, from 
hiring qualified personnel in a timely manner. This problem is 
particularly acute for NNSA as elements of the nuclear security 
enterprise continue to execute robust hiring plans to support 
the increased workload associated with the nation's nuclear 
modernization program. In a recent report on the state of the 
nuclear weapons stockpile, the director of one of national 
security laboratories highlighted this challenge, saying that 
for his laboratory, ``1,011 staff were hired in 2016, and about 
1,000 new hires are expected by the end of 2017. This hiring 
rate is expected to continue . . . However, technical 
mentoring, particularly by experienced senior staff who are on 
the verge of retiring, is virtually impossible if newly hired 
staff are unable to obtain a security clearance in a timely 
manner.'' The director further noted that 1,300 DOE ``Q'' 
clearances were awaiting approval.
    The committee understands the complexity of this issue and 
continues to seek solutions that enable a robust background 
review but also timely completion. To enhance its oversight, 
the committee directs the Administrator for Nuclear Security, 
in consultation with the Director of the Office of Personnel 
Management, to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives by 
December 1, 2018, on efforts to streamline and improve the 
security clearance investigation and adjudication process for 
the nuclear security enterprise. Such briefing should include 
actions taken by NNSA and OPM, any planned actions, options for 
future action, and any recommendations of the Administrator 
regarding statutory changes or other Congressional action.

               Environmental and Other Defense Activities


                                Overview

    The budget request for fiscal year 2019 contained $6.51 
billion for environmental and other defense activities. The 
committee recommends $6.56 billion, an increase of $50.0 
million to the budget request.

                     Defense Environmental Cleanup


Briefings on vapor events at Hanford Site

    The committee is concerned about the continuing reports of 
toxic vapors emanating from nuclear waste tanks at the Hanford 
Site being inhaled by workers. Over the past several years, 
many workers have reported suspicious odors and subsequent 
health effects. The committee notes that additional protective 
measures and guidance have been implemented at the site, but 
that reported events continue. The committee therefore directs 
the Secretary of Energy, acting through the Assistant Secretary 
of Energy for Environmental Management, to provide semiannual 
briefings to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives, starting on August 31, 2018, and continuing 
during fiscal year 2019, on waste tank vapor incidents at the 
Hanford Site. Such briefings should include details on recent 
vapor inhalation events, any technical data regarding the 
vapors, any health problems caused by the vapors, mitigation 
measures in place to protect workers from the vapors, 
engineered or administrative controls being considered to 
prevent such events, and any other information the Secretary 
determines to be relevant.

                         LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS

       Subtitle A--National Security Programs and Authorizations


         Section 3101--National Nuclear Security Administration

    This section would authorize appropriations for the 
National Nuclear Security Administration for fiscal year 2019, 
including funds for weapons activities, defense nuclear 
nonproliferation programs, naval reactor programs, and Federal 
Salaries and Expenses, at the levels specified in the funding 
table in division D of this Act.
    This section would also authorize several new plant 
projects for the National Nuclear Security Administration.

              Section 3102--Defense Environmental Cleanup

    This section would authorize appropriations for defense 
environmental cleanup activities for fiscal year 2019 at the 
levels specified in the funding table in division D of this 
Act.

                 Section 3103--Other Defense Activities

    This section would authorize appropriations for Other

   Subtitle B--Program Authorizations, Restrictions, and Limitations


    Section 3111--Security Clearance for Dual Nationals Employed by 
                    National Nuclear Security Agency

    This section would authorize the Secretary of Energy to 
apply additional security reviews to dual citizens seeking 
positions that require access to highly classified information. 
The committee expects that any additional security reviews will 
not further exacerbate background investigation backlogs.

   Section 3112--Department of Energy Counterintelligence Polygraph 
                                Program

    This section would amend section 4504b of the Atomic Energy 
Defense Act (50 U.S.C 2654b) by authorizing the Secretary of 
Energy to add dual citizens to the Department of Energy 
counterintelligence polygraph program, for the purposes of 
assessing risk.

  Section 3113--Extension of Enhanced Procurement Authority To Manage 
                           Supply Chain Risk

    This section would extend the authority provided by section 
2786 of title 50, U.S. Code, for an additional 5 years, to June 
30, 2023. This authority enables the Secretary of Energy to 
take certain procurement actions to help protect the supply 
chain for certain critical national security technologies. This 
section would also make a technical correction to section 2786 
of title 50, U.S. Code.

                Section 3114--Low-Yield Nuclear Weapons

    This section would repeal section 3116 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (Public Law 108-
136) related to low-yield nuclear weapons. This section would 
also authorize the Secretary of Energy, acting through the 
Administrator for Nuclear Security, to carry out the 
engineering development phase, and any subsequent phase, to 
modify or develop a low-yield nuclear warhead for submarine-
launched ballistic missiles.

    Section 3115--Use of Funds for Construction and Project Support 
                  Activities Relating to MOX Facility

    This section would require the Secretary of Energy to carry 
out construction and project support activities relating to the 
Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility with any funds authorized 
to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made available for 
such purposes for fiscal year 2019. The Secretary would be 
allowed to waive this requirement if the Secretary submits to 
the congressional defense committees the matters described 
under section 3121(b)(1) of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91).

  Section 3116--Prohibition on Availability of Funds for Programs in 
                           Russian Federation

    This section would provide that none of the funds 
authorized to be appropriated by this Act or otherwise made 
available for fiscal year 2019 for atomic energy defense 
activities may be obligated or expended to enter into a 
contract with, or otherwise provide assistance to, the Russian 
Federation. The Secretary of Energy, without delegation, would 
be provided the authority to waive this prohibition if the 
Secretary determines, in writing, that a nuclear-related threat 
in Russia must be addressed urgently and that it is necessary 
to waive the prohibition to address that threat. The waiver 
could only be used if the Secretary of State and the Secretary 
of Defense concur in that determination, and the Secretary of 
Energy submits a report to the appropriate congressional 
committees containing notification that such waiver is in the 
national security interest of the United States, a 
justification for such waiver, a description of the activities 
to be carried out pursuant to the waiver, and a period of 7 
days elapses. The prohibition and waiver contained in this 
section would not apply to up to $3.0 million that the 
Secretary of Energy may make available for the Department of 
Energy's Russian Health Studies Program.

  Section 3117--Prohibition on Availability of Funds for Research and 
Development of Advanced Naval Nuclear Fuel System Based on Low-Enriched 
                                Uranium

    This section would prohibit any funds authorized to be 
appropriated by this Act for fiscal year 2019 or otherwise made 
available to the Department of Energy or the Department of 
Defense from being obligated or expended to plan or carry out 
research and development of an advanced naval nuclear fuel 
system based on low-enriched uranium. The section would provide 
an exception to this prohibition and require that, in 
accordance with section 7319 of title 10, United States Code, 
that $10.0 million of the funds authorized for defense nuclear 
nonproliferation within the National Nuclear Security 
Administration's atomic energy defense activities shall be made

within 120 days of enactment of this Act, what constitutes 
evidence of a chilled work environment with respect to 
employees and contractors making a whistleblower complaint and

                      TITLE XXXV--MARITIME MATTERS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                       Maritime Security Program

    The committee remains deeply concerned by the decrease in 
our merchant mariner fleet. The committee notes that the U.S. 
commercial presence in the international maritime domain has 
been on a steady decline since its peak in World War II and is 
currently at the lowest level in American history. Of some 
40,000 large, oceangoing commercial vessels in the world today, 
just 181 sail under the U.S. flag, including 81 vessels 
operating exclusively in international trade. A robust 
commercial shipping industry is vital to the U.S. military's 
ability to project power around the world. The Maritime 
Security Program (MSP) is critical to U.S. sustainment 
capability and supporting the pool of highly trained Mariners 
necessary to support our government owned Ready Reserve Force 
fleet when activated. Created in 1996, the program helps 
maintain an active, privately-owned, U.S.-flag and U.S.-crewed 
fleet of 60 militarily useful commercial ships operating in 
international trade. MSP participants receive an annual stipend 
and their ships are available ``on-call'' to support DOD's 
global transportation needs. The MSP supports employment for 
2,400 U.S. merchant mariners, and provides DOD with assured 
access to the critical multibillion-dollar global network of 
intermodal facilities and transport systems maintained by MSP 
participants. Recent agreements such as the 2016 US-Israel 
Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and the decision to end 
foreign military financing (FMF) funding for jet fuel purchases 
may affect the ability to project forces in times of future 
contingencies because of the potential diminution of 
government-impelled cargo.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy, 
in consultation with the Secretary of Transportation, to 
provide a briefing to the House Armed Services Committee by 
September 1, 2018 as to the MSP impact, if any, of the 2016 
U.S.-Israel (MOU). Such a briefing shall specifically include 
an assessment of the loss of merchant mariners and the national 
security impact associated with the long-term sustainment of 
the Ready Reserve Force in times of conflict.

                         LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS


                  Subtitle A--Maritime Administration


       Section 3501--Authorization of the Maritime Administration

    This section would authorize appropriations for the 
national security aspects of the merchant marine for fiscal 
year 2019.

  Section 3502--Compliance by Ready Reserve Fleet Vessels With SOLAS 
              Lifeboats and Fire Suppression Requirements

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
incorporate lifeboat and fire suppression standards associated 
with the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea 
for Ready Reserve Fleet vessels that are planned to be retained 
by the Secretary beyond October 1, 2026.

 Section 3503--Maritime Administration National Security Multi-Mission 
                             Vessel Program

    This section would limit the Maritime Administration from 
procuring used training vessels for the National Security 
Multi-Mission Vessel Program.
    The committee notes that the Maritime Administration 
requested authority to procure two used vessels and is 
concerned that such a short-term strategy would not support the 
long-term maritime academies' interests. The committee 
continues to support the new construction of these training 
vessels in the United States.

  Section 3504--Permanent Authority of Secretary of Transportation To 
                    Issue Vessel War Risk Insurance

States Code, to make permanent the authority of the Secretary 
of Transportation to provide vessel war risk insurance.

sexual harassment by members of the Coast Guard and that the 
violation of such order or regulation is punishable in 
accordance with the Uniform Code of Military Justice. The 
notification is required to include the status of the drafting 
of such a regulation, the projected implementation timeline, 
and an explanation of any barriers to implementation. The 
subsection also amends section 217 of the Coast Guard 
Authorization Act of 2010 (Public Law 111-281) to include 
sexual harassment in the annual report on sexual assaults 
reported to the Committee of Transportation and Infrastructure 
of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, 
Science, and Transportation of the Senate.
    This section would amend chapter 29 of title 14 by adding a 
new section, Annual Performance Report, to require the Coast

previously identified during operational test and evaluation of 
a capability or asset already in low, initial or full-rate 
production.

                   Section 3523--Contract Termination

    This section would amend chapter 17 of title 14, United 
States Code, by inserting a new section 657 to establish a 
process for contract cancellation, including requiring the 
Coast Guard to notify each vendor when it terminates a 
procurement or acquisition contact with a total value of more 
than $1.0 million and that such vendors are required to 
maintain all work product related to the contract for at least 
1 year. Additionally, the Coast Guard shall provide an annual 
report to the Committee of Transportation and Infrastructure of 
the House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, 
Science, and Transportation of the Senate on terminated 
contracts.

            Section 3524--Reimbursement for Travel Expenses

    This section would amend section 518 of title 14, United 
States Code, to state that a covered beneficiary and their 
dependents residing on an island located in the 48 contiguous 
States and the District of Columbia that lacks public access 
roads to the mainland, shall be reimbursed for reasonable 
travel expenses for medical services when referred by a primary 
care physician to a physician on the mainland or the Coast 
Guard medical regional manager for the area determines medical 
services cannot be provided on the island.

                 Section 3525--Capital Investment Plan

    This section would amend section 2902(a) of title 14, 
United States Code, to change the date when the Capital 
Investment shall be reported to the Committee of Transportation 
and Infrastructure of the House of Representatives and the 
Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation of the 
Senate to require reporting on projected commissioning and 
decommissioning dates for each asset.

        Section 3526--Major Acquisition Program Risk Assessment

    This section would amend chapter 29 of title 14, United 
States Code, to add a section on major acquisition program risk 
assessment stating that twice a year the Coast Guard shall 
provide to the Committee of Transportation and Infrastructure 
of the House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, 
Science, and Transportation of the Senate a briefing regarding 
a current assessment of risks associated with all current major 
acquisition programs, including breach of program schedule or 
costs.

           Section 3527--Marine Safety Implementation Status

    This section would state that the Coast Guard shall submit 
a report on the date on which the President submits to Congress 
a budget for fiscal year 2020 and for the following two years 
to the Committee of Transportation and Infrastructure of the 
House of Representatives and the Committee on Commerce, 
Science, and Transportation of the Senate on the implementation 
of each action outlined in the Commandant's final action memo 
from December 19, 2017.

              Section 3528--Retirement of Vice Commandant

                  COMMUNICATIONS FROM OTHER COMMITTEES

                          House of Representatives,
                                   Committee on the Budget,
                                      Washington, DC, May 10, 2018.
Hon. William M. ``Mac'' Thornberry,
Chairman, Committee on Armed Services,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Chairman Thornberry: I am writing regarding H.R. 5515, 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019. 
This legislation contains subject matter within the 
jurisdiction of the Committee on the Budget. However, in order 
to expedite floor consideration of this important legislation, 
the Committee waives consideration of the bill.
    The Committee on the Budget takes this action only with the 
understanding that the Committee's jurisdictional interests 
over this and similar legislation are in no way diminished or 
altered. I also ask that the Committee on the Budget be 
appropriately consulted and involved as this bill or similar 
legislation moves forward so that the Committee may address any 
remaining issues that fall within its jurisdiction.
    The Committee also reserves the right to seek appointment 
to any House-Senate conference on this legislation and requests 
your support if such a request is made. I would appreciate your 
response to this letter, confirming this understanding with 
respect to H.R. 5515 and would ask that a copy of our exchange 
of letters on this matter be included in the Congressional 
Record during House Floor consideration. Thank you for your 
attention to these matters.
            Sincerely,
                                              Steve Womack,
                                                          Chairman.
                                ------                                

                          House of Representatives,

                                      Washington, DC, May 14, 2018.
Hon. Steve Womack,
Chairman, Committee on the Budget,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: Thank you for your letter regarding H.R. 
5515, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2019. I agree that the Committee on the Budget has valid 
jurisdictional claims to certain provisions in this important 
legislation, and I am most appreciative of your decision not to 
request a referral in the interest of expediting consideration 
of the bill. I agree that by foregoing a sequential referral, 
the Committee on the Budget is not waiving its jurisdiction. 
Further, this exchange of letters will be included in the 
committee report on the bill.
            Sincerely,
                             William M. ``Mac'' Thornberry,

Hon. William M. ``Mac'' Thornberry,
Chairman, Committee on Armed Services,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Chairman Thornberry: I write in regard to H.R. 5515, 
the ``National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2019.'' Although the Committee on Energy and Commerce has 
jurisdictional interests in the bill, I wanted to notify you 
that the will forgo action on the bill so that it may proceed 
expeditiously to the House floor for consideration.
    This is done with the understanding that the Committee on 
Energy and Commerce's jurisdictional interests over this and 
similar legislation are in no way diminished or altered. In 
addition, the Committee reserves the right to seek conferees on 
H.R. 5515 and requests your support when such a request is 
made.
    I would appreciate your response confirming this 
understanding with respect to H.R. 5515 and ask that a copy of 
our exchange of letters on this matter be included in the 
Congressional Record during consideration of the bill on the 
House floor.
            Sincerely,

House expeditiously consider H.R. 5515, I am writing to waive 
this Committee's right to sequential referral. I do so with the 
understanding that by waiving consideration of the bill the 
Committee on Financial Services does not waive any future 
jurisdictional claim over the subject matters contained in H.R. 
5515 which fall within its Rule X jurisdiction. I request that 
you urge the Speaker to name members of the Committee on 
Financial Services to any conference committee which is named 
to consider such provisions.
    Please place this letter into the committee report on H.R. 
5515 and into the Congressional Record during consideration of 
the measure on the House floor. Thank you for your attention to 
these important matters.

    Dear Mr. Chairman: I write to confirm our mutual 
understanding regarding H.R. 5515, the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, which contains 
substantial matter that falls within the Rule X legislative 
jurisdiction of the Foreign Affairs Committee. I appreciate the 
cooperation that allowed us to work out mutually agreeable text 
on numerous matters prior to your markup.
    Based on that cooperation and our associated 
understandings, the Foreign Affairs Committee will not seek a 
sequential referral or object to floor consideration of the 
bill text approved at your Committee markup. This decision in 
no way diminishes or alters the jurisdictional interests of the 
Foreign Affairs Committee in this bill, any subsequent 
amendments, or similar legislation. I request your support for 
the appointment of House Foreign Affairs conferees during any 
House-Senate conference on this legislation.
    Finally, I respectfully request that you include this 
letter and your response in your committee report on the bill 
and in the Congressional Record during consideration of H.R. 
5515 on the House floor.

    Dear Chairman Thornberry: I write with respect to H.R.

provisions within H.R. 5515 that fall within the Rule X

    The Judiciary Committee takes this action with our mutual 
understanding that by foregoing consideration of H.R. 5515 at 
this time, we do not waive any jurisdiction over subject matter 
contained in this or similar legislation and that our committee 
will be appropriately consulted and involved as this bill or 
similar legislation moves forward so that we may address any 
remaining issues in our jurisdiction. Our committee also 
reserves the right to seek appointment of an appropriate number 
of conferees to any House-Senate conference involving this or 
similar legislation and asks that you support any such request.
    I would appreciate a response to this letter confirming 
this understanding with respect to H.R. 5515 and would ask that 
a copy of our exchange of letters on this matter be included 
your committee report and in the Congressional Record during 
floor consideration of H.R. 5515.

                                      Washington, DC, May 14, 2018.
Hon. Steve Chabot,
Chairman, Committee on Small Business,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: Thank you for your letter regarding H.R. 
5515, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2019. I agree that the Committee on Small Business has valid 
jurisdictional claims to certain provisions in this important 
legislation, and I am most appreciative of your decision not to 
request a referral in the interest of expediting consideration 
of the bill. I agree that by foregoing a sequential referral, 
the Committee on Small Business is not waiving its 
jurisdiction. Further, this exchange of letters will be 
included in the committee report on the bill.
            Sincerely,
                             William M. ``Mac'' Thornberry,
                                                          Chairman.
                                ------

Hon. William M. ``Mac'' Thornberry,
Chairman, Committee on Armed Services,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Thornberry: I am writing to you concerning the 
jurisdictional interest of the Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure in matters being considered in H.R. 5515, the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019.
    Our committee recognizes the importance of H.R. 5515 and 
the need for the legislation to move expeditiously. Therefore, 
while we have a valid claim to jurisdiction over the bill, I do 
not intend to request a sequential referral. This, of course, 
is conditional on our mutual understanding that nothing in this 
legislation or my decision to forego a sequential referral 
waives, reduces or otherwise affects the jurisdiction of the 
Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure, and that a copy 
of this letter and your response acknowledging our 
jurisdictional interest will be included in the Committee 
Report and as part of the Congressional Record during 
consideration of this bill by the House.
    The Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure also 
asks that you support our request to be conferees on the 
provisions over which we have jurisdiction during any House-
Senate conference.
    Thank you for your consideration in this matter.
            Sincerely,
                                              Bill Shuster,
                                                          Chairman.
                                ------

                                      Washington, DC, May 14, 2018.
Hon. Bill Shuster,
Chairman, Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: Thank you for your letter regarding H.R. 
5515, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2019. I agree that the Committee on Transportation and 
Infrastructure has valid jurisdictional claims to certain 
provisions in this important legislation, and I am most

                                       Washington, DC, May 9, 2018.
Hon. William M. ``Mac'' Thornberry,
Chairman, Committee on Armed Services,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Chairman Thornberry: I write to confirm our mutual 
understanding regarding H.R. 5515, the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019. This legislation 
contains subject matter within the jurisdiction of the 
Committee on Veterans' Affairs. However, in order to expedite 
floor consideration of this important legislation, the 
committee waives consideration of the bill.
    The Committee on Veterans' Affairs takes this action only 
with the understanding that the committee's jurisdictional 
interests over this and similar legislation are in no way 
diminished or altered.
    The committee also reserves the right to seek appointment 
to any House-Senate conference on this legislation and requests 
your support if such a request is made. Finally, I would 
appreciate your including this letter in the Committee Report 
and as part of the Congressional Record during consideration of 
H.R. 5515 on the House Floor.
    Thank you for your attention to these matters.
            Sincerely,
                                        David P. Roe, M.D.,
                                                          Chairman.

                                      Washington, DC, May 14, 2018.
Hon. William M. ``Mac'' Thornberry,
Chairman, Committee on Armed Services,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Chairman Thornberry: I am writing with respect to the 
jurisdictional interest of the Committee on Ways and Means in 
matters being considered in H.R. 5515, the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019.
    As a result of your having consulted with us on provisions 
in H.R. 5515 that fall within the Rule X jurisdiction of the 
Committee on Ways and Means, I agree to waive formal 
consideration of this bill so that it may move expeditiously to 
the floor. The Committee on Ways and Means takes this action 
with the mutual understanding that we do not waive any 
jurisdiction over the subject matter contained in this or 
similar legislation, and the Committee will be appropriately 
consulted and involved as the bill or similar legislation moves 
forward so that we may address any remaining issues that fall 
within our jurisdiction. The Committee also reserves the right 
to seek appointment of an appropriate number of conferees to 
any House-Senate conference involving this or similar 
legislation, and requests your support for such request.
    Finally, I would appreciate your response to this letter 
confirming this understanding, and would ask that a copy of our 
exchange of letters on this matter be included in the 
Congressional Record during floor consideration of H.R. 5515.
            Sincerely,
                                               Kevin Brady,

                  CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ESTIMATE

    In compliance with clause 3(c)(3) of rule XIII of the House 
of Representatives, the cost estimate prepared by the 
Congressional Budget Office and submitted pursuant to section 
402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 is as follows:

         CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATE

                                                      May 14, 2018.
Hon. Mac Thornberry
Chairman, Committee on Armed Services,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
completed a preliminary estimate of the direct spending and 
revenue effects of H.R. 5515, the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, as ordered reported by 
the House Committee on Armed Services on May 10, 2018. This 
preliminary estimate is based on the Committee Print 115-70 of 
H.R. 5515 that was posted to the website of the House Committee 
on Rules on May 11, 2018. CBO's complete cost estimate for H.R. 
5515, including discretionary costs, will be provided shortly.
    Several provisions of the legislation would have 
insignificant effects (some positive; some negative) on direct 
spending. Those budgetary changes would result primarily from 
provisions that would:

 Authorize the Department of Defense to accept and 
        spend contributions for specific purposes,
 Increase eligibility for military retirement, and
 Change the timing of small amounts of outlays from 
        appropriations that are currently available.
    On a preliminary basis, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 
5515 would affect net direct spending by less than $500,000 
over the 2019-2028 period.
    The bill also would increase certain civil and criminal 
fines and would impose sanctions on entities that engage in 
certain transactions with Russia. Those fines and penalties, 
which are classified as revenues, would total less than 
$500,000 over the next 10 years, CBO estimates. Because 
enacting the bill would affect direct spending and revenues, 
pay-as-you-go procedures apply.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is David Newman, 
who can be reached at 226-2840.
            Sincerely,
                                                Keith Hall,
                                                          Director.

           STATEMENT REQUIRED BY THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET ACT

    Pursuant to clause (3)(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, and section 308(a) of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-344):
    (1) this legislation does not provide budget authority 
subject to an allocation made pursuant to section 302(b) of 
Public Law 93-344;
    (2) the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Estimate included 
in this report pursuant to clause (3)(c)(3) of rule XIII of the 
Rules of the House of Representatives contains CBO's projection 
of how this legislation will affect the levels of budget 
authority, budget outlays, revenues, and tax expenditures for 
fiscal year 2019 and for the ensuing 5 fiscal years; and
    (3) the CBO Estimate does not identify any new budget 
authority for assistance to state and local governments by this 
measure at the time that this report was filed.

                        COMMITTEE COST ESTIMATE

    Pursuant to clause (3)(d)(2)(B) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, the Congressional Budget 
Office Estimate included in this report satisfies the 
requirement for the committee to include an estimate by the 
committee of the costs incurred in carrying out this bill.

                          ADVISORY OF EARMARKS

    The committee finds that H.R. 5515, the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, as reported, does not 
contain any congressional earmarks, limited tax benefits, or 
limited tariff benefits as defined in clause 9 of rule XXI of 
the Rules of the House of Representatives.

                           OVERSIGHT FINDINGS

    With respect to clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, this legislation results from 
hearings and other oversight activities conducted by the 
committee pursuant to clause 2(b)(1) of rule X. The findings 
are reflected in the body of this report.

                GENERAL PERFORMANCE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

    With respect to clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, the general goal and objective of 
H.R. 5515 is to maintain our national defense, to prepare the 
warfighter for current and future threats, and to do so in a 
fiscally responsible manner.
    Our country continues to face national security challenges: 
the Russian Federation continues its overt and covert attempts 
to undermine democratic institutions and the international 
rules-based order; the People's Republic of China is pursuing a 
foreign policy that is increasingly aggressive toward U.S. 
interests; the Islamic Republic of Iran is seeking to 
destabilize areas in the Middle East; the Democratic People's 
Republic of Korea maintains a nuclear program that undermines 
peace and security in East Asia; and terrorist groups continue 
to threaten U.S. citizens at home and abroad.
    This legislation is a continuation of the efforts of the 
Committee on Armed Services to provide for the common defense 
by responding to these, and other, national security 
challenges. The bill provides $617.1 billion to support core 
Department of Defense requirements, a number consistent with 
the President's Budget Request and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 
2018 (Public Law 115-123). It also includes an additional $69.0 
billion of Overseas Contingency Operations, also matching the 
request. This includes money to fully fund the 2.6 percent pay 
raise for troops, to expand funding for maintenance and 
readiness, and to deter America's adversaries.
    This bill also seeks to continue the committee's focus on 
reform to create savings by cutting unnecessary waste. This 
legislation includes numerous reforms to streamline the 
Department of Defense. The bill reforms the definition of 
commercial item to simplify Government purchasing, requires the 
Department to examine its bureaucracy to identify redundant 
activities for potential savings, and begins a process of 
updating acquisition statutes to reduce unnecessary confusion 
and red tape.
    This bill continues the committee's work to ensure the 
military is both adequately resourced and prepared to maintain 
our national defense, and thereby fulfills the committee's 
duties under Article I, Section 8, of the Constitution.

                     STATEMENT OF FEDERAL MANDATES

    Pursuant to section 423 of Public Law 104-4, this 
legislation contains no Federal mandates with respect to state, 
local, and tribal governments, nor with respect to the private 
sector. Similarly, the bill provides no Federal 
intergovernmental mandates.

                  FEDERAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE STATEMENT

    Consistent with the requirements of section 5(b) of the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, the committee finds that the 
functions of the proposed advisory committee authorized in the 
bill are not currently being nor could they be performed by one 
or more agencies, an advisory committee already in existence or 
by enlarging the mandate of an existing advisory committee.

                APPLICABILITY TO THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH

    The committee finds that this legislation does not relate 
to the terms and conditions of employment or access to public 
services or accommodations within the meaning of section 
102(b)(3) of the Congressional Accountability Act (Public Law 
104-1).

                    DUPLICATION OF FEDERAL PROGRAMS

    No provision of H.R. 5515 establishes or reauthorizes a 
program of the Federal Government known to be duplicative of 
another Federal program, a program that was included in any 
report from the Government Accountability Office to Congress 
pursuant to section 21 of Public Law 111-139, or a program 
related to a program identified in the most recent Catalog of 
Federal Domestic Assistance.

                  DISCLOSURE OF DIRECTED RULE MAKINGS

    The committee estimates that H.R. 5515 requires three 
instances of directed rule makings. They are contained in the 
following provisions:
    (1) section 582
    (2) section 830; and
    (3) section 1610.

                            COMMITTEE VOTES

    In accordance with clause 3(b) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, record votes were taken with 
respect to the committee's consideration of H.R. 5515. The 
record of these votes is contained in the following pages.
    The committee ordered H.R. 5515 to be reported to the House 
with a favorable recommendation by a vote of 60-1, a quorum 
being present.

         CHANGES IN EXISTING LAW MADE BY THE BILL, AS REPORTED

    The committee has taken steps to make available the 
analysis of changes in existing law made by the bill, as 
required by clause 3(e) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House 
of Representatives, and will make the analysis available as 
soon as possible.

                     ADDITIONAL VIEWS OF MR. LARSEN

    The Fiscal Year (FY) 2019 National Defense Authorization 
Act (NDAA) addresses many of the threats the nation faces in a 
clear and constructive manner. I am pleased that many of my 
proposals were included in the bill, including $50 million in 
budget authority for DoD Supplemental Impact Aid, a pilot 
program intended to address combat-related infertility, and 
accelerating research into quieter jet engines. I will work 
with Chairman Thornberry and Ranking Member Smith to ensure 
these and other priorities remain in the final text of the 
legislation.
    However, there is one area where I believe the FY 19 NDAA 
is particularly deficient, and I intend to work with my 
colleagues in the House and the Senate to address these 
concerns before this bill becomes law. In its current form, the 
FY 19 NDAA authorizes funding for new low-yield nuclear weapons 
proposed by the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review (NPR). But the NPR 
fails to make a convincing case for the utility of these 
weapons, and fails to address legitimate concerns about the 
consequences of fielding these new nuclear capabilities.
    The NPR recommends fielding of two new low-yield nuclear 
weapons: a version of the existing D5 submarine launched 
ballistic missile (SLBM) and a nuclear-armed sea launched 
cruise missile (SLCM). The FY 2019 NDAA authorizes $65 million 
for development of the low-yield D5.
    While supporters of this program have been emphatic that 
these new weapons will not lower the nuclear threshold, the 
arguments for their development advanced in the NPR and in this 
committee have contradicted this assertion. The NPR envisions a 
scenario where the Russians use a low-yield weapon because they 
believe this action would not be met with a nuclear response 
because the U.S. lacks a tailored deterrent and the President 
would be unwilling to use a strategic nuclear weapon. With the 
development of new low-yield weapons, the NPR asserts, the U.S. 
could now use low yield weapons to deter low yield weapons, and 
America would no longer be self-deterred. This is dangerous 
thinking.
    First, the U.S. already possesses low-yield nuclear 
weapons, including the variable yield B-61. If these weapons 
are not effective deterrents, this Committee should examine why 
before exploring new capabilities. Second, the NPR implies a 
scenario where both parties respond to a nuclear detonation by 
taking the time to determine the size and yield of the weapon 
employed before deciding whether and how to respond. In 
reality, escalation would be difficult, if not impossible to 
avoid. And finally, this concept of operations employs the sub-
based leg of the triad, the most survivable leg, in the opening 
stages of a nuclear conflict, putting submarines at risk 
conducting a mission they were not intended for.
    Additionally, the Committee considered this legislation 
prior to the release of the forthcoming Ballistic Missile 
Defense Review (BMDR). Based on comments from the President and 
other members of the administration, I believe it is reasonable 
to anticipate a significant change to the role of missile 
defense in national security.
    Missile defense and the nuclear deterrent both play a 
pivotal role in strategic stability. I am concerned that too 
often this committee treats these as two separate issues. 
America's adversaries consider both our missile defense and 
strategic deterrent when planning. This committee should as 
well.
    When the BMDR is released, it is my hope that this 
committee will evaluate the report not only discretely, but 
based on the combined effect on strategic stability of both the 
BMDR and NPR.
    I commend Chairman Thornberry and Ranking Member Smith for 
their leadership on this legislation and this committee, and 
look forward to working with them further on the FY 19 NDAA.

                                                       Rick Larsen.

   CONGRESSMAN JOHN GARAMENDI'S ADDITIONAL VIEWS FOR H.R. 5515, THE 
        NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019

    I congratulate Chairman Thornberry and Ranking Member Smith 
on the passage of the committee mark for the 58th National 
Defense Authorization Act. I also appreciate the efforts of the 
House Armed Services Committee to prepare a committee mark that 
aims to ensure that our men and women in uniform have the means 
to protect our nation and advance American interests. However, 
there are several areas of concern that I have with this bill, 
and I look forward to our continued work to improve this 
critically important legislation.
    One of the most concerning elements of this bill is the 
endorsement of the Trump Administration's Nuclear Posture 
Review (NPR). In addition to the planned modernization of our 
current force structure, the NPR proposes the development of 
supplemental capabilities, namely a low-yield warhead for 
submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM) and a sea-launched 
cruise missile (SLCM). Not only does this bill repeal a 15-year 
ban on developing and producing low-yield nuclear warheads 
absent Congressional authorization, but it also authorizes $65 
million for the development of such. Fielding low-yield 
warheads on SLBMs will dramatically alter the way in which we 
utilize our nuclear submarine force, greatly increasing the 
risk of miscalculation and further fueling a dangerous arms 
race. We must thoughtfully consider the potential impact these 
weapons will have on strategic stability.
    Furthermore, we're already on track to spend $1.2 trillion 
over the next thirty years to operate, maintain, and 
recapitalize our nuclear arsenal, and that figure does not 
include the ``supplemental capabilities'' described in the 
recent NPR. I remain deeply concerned that excessive nuclear 
weapons spending will put significant pressure on the rest of 
the procurement budget in the middle of next decade when other 
areas of our national defense will also require 
recapitalization.
    Lastly, while I am pleased that there are already several 
provisions in the bill that promote U.S. shipbuilding, I 
believe this bill could go much further. It is in the national 
security interests of the U.S. to maintain our domestic 
manufacturing base. Buy America requirements ensure we have a 
domestic, reliable source of critical equipment, and I will 
continue working with my colleagues to strengthen these key 
requirements.
    As the process continues, I look forward to working on 
these important issues with my colleagues on the Armed Services 
Committee.

                            DISSENTING VIEWS

    Section 314: To prohibit the Greater Sage Grouse and Lesser 
Prairie Chicken from being listed under the Endangered Species 
Act (ESA) for a period of 10 years and to reverse a 1989 
determination of endangered status for the American Burying 
Beetle, and for other purposes.
    Section 314 of the National Defense Authorization Act as 
reported out of the House Armed Services Committee prohibits 
the Greater Sage Grouse and Lesser Prairie Chicken from being 
listed under the Endangered Species Act (ESA) for a period of 
10 years, reverses a 1989 determination of endangered status 
for the American Burying Beetle, and would further exempt this 
provision from judicial review.
    ESA listing decisions should be made with the best-
available-science and not by a Congressional mandate. Sections 
314 undermine science-based decision-making and State and 
Federal cooperative efforts to protect imperiled species. 
Furthermore, Section 314 set a terrible precedent for the 
management of species in need of conservation by having 
Congress micromanage specific species.
    Pursuant to the Rules of the House of Representatives, the 
House Natural Resources Committee--not the House Armed Services 
Committee--has jurisdiction over wildlife and conservation, so 
it is only appropriate that any proposed legislative changes 
pertaining to the ESA, wildlife, or conservation go through the 
appropriate authorizing committee.
    The language should be struck from the bill as it is non-
germane. The Department of Defense has stated that it already 
has sufficient statutory authorities to protect the interest of 
the Department and its training and readiness activities. We 
should not jeopardize the progress of this bill with 
unnecessary environmental riders.

 DISSENTING VIEWS OF CONGRESSWOMAN COLLEEN HANABUSA ON SECTION 903 OF 
      THE NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019

    I congratulate Chairman Thornberry and Ranking Member Smith 
on the passage of the committee mark for the 57th National 
Defense Authorization Act. However, I dissent with this bill's 
change in the command and control in the most challenging area, 
the Indo-Asia-Pacific.
    Let there be no question, we are all saddened and 
distressed by the deaths of our sailors who were on the USS 
Fitzgerald and the USS John McCain. This resulted with the 
Comprehensive Review of Recent Surface Force Incidents (CR) by 
Admiral Philip S. Davidson for the Chief of Naval Operations. 
Admiral Davidson has been recently confirmed as the new 
Commander of Pacific Command (PACOM). The Secretary of the Navy 
subsequently tasked Michael Bayer and Admiral Roughead (Ret. 
and former CNO) with a Strategic Readiness Review (SRR) of 
tragic incidents involving the 7th Fleet. The SRR independently 
examined the findings of the CR and concurred in most part with 
one exception being the establishment of ``a single Echelon 
II'' to determine the readiness of the force structure.
    The SRR stated clearly that it does not concur with the 
recommendation to ``[e]stablish a single Echelon II higher 
headquarters responsible for the readiness generation of all 
Navy forces.'' It instead made recommendations that would 
``meet the same objective, while retaining separate fleet 
responsibilities and authorities for managing readiness in the 
east and west coast fleets.''
    It is important to note that in April of 2018 as part of 
his confirmation hearing, Admiral Davidson states that ``[he] 
would not support any changes to command and control of Naval 
Forces in the Pacific that would limit the speed, flexibility, 
and agility of a response or place into question U.S. resolve 
and commitment to the Indo-Pacific.''
    The amendment I offered identified as ``Hanabusa 301'' did 
exactly what the SRR recommended. The amendment provided that 
``the Secretary of the Navy may not make available for tasking 
by an operational commander any vessel, including any forward 
deployed naval vessel, until the Commander of Surface Forces 
Atlantic submits to the Commander of the United States Fleet 
Forces Command or the Commander of Surface Forces Pacific 
submits to the Commander of the United States Pacific Fleet, as 
appropriate based on the region to which such vessel is 
proposed to be tasked, certification that such surface vessel 
in properly manned, trained, and equipped.'' In the present 
geopolitical climate that the United States of America and its 
military finds itself in, no area presents the threats to our 
democracy as the Indo-Asia-Pacific region. The PACOM AOR is 
just about fifty-five percent of this earth's surface. The 
actions of North Korea, China, and Russia have caused us all to 
have heightened concerns.
    The initial language, which gave to the Asia-Pacific Region 
its command and control structure was called the ``Inouye 
Amendment'' and has existed since May of 2005. There is no one 
who is as respected or decorated as Senator Daniel K. Inouye. 
He clearly understood what was needed for the U.S. to meet the 
challenges that the PACOM AOR would present. My amendment 
brings into line the need for the speed, flexibility and 
agility that this region requires, while also addressing 
command and control structure improvements recommended by the 
CR and SRR--a position clearly advocated by the new PACOM 
Commander. I look forward to working with this committee to 
ensure that the necessary tools and command and control 
structure is in place to ensure the success of the new PACOM 
Commander in the largest AOR of this military.

                                                  Colleen Hanabusa.

     DISSENTING VIEWS--SECTION 312 OF H.R. 5515: NATIONAL DEFENSE 
                 AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2019

    Section 312 of the National Defense Authorization Act would 
amend the Marine Mammal Protection Act to require the 
Department of Defense to obtain authorizations from the 
National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) every ten years, 
instead of the current five-year requirement, for activities 
that can harm marine mammals.
    Section 312 is not required for military readiness and 
national security, yet it will weaken essential protections for 
whales, dolphins, and other marine mammals.
    Enacted 45 years ago with strong bipartisan support, the 
MMPA protects marine mammals from ``take,'' meaning human 
activities that ``hunt, harass, capture, or kill'' these iconic 
species of ocean wildlife. The law applies in U.S. waters and 
to U.S. citizens and conveyances on the high seas. Due to the 
protections provided by this bedrock conservation statute, no 
marine mammals in U.S. waters have subsequently gone extinct, 
and some species that once suffered severe declines have 
increased in numbers.
    The Department of Defense is required under the MMPA to 
obtain authorizations from the NMFS every five years for 
activities that can harm marine mammals, most notably the 
Navy's use of sonar and underwater explosives for training and 
military readiness purposes. The purpose of these 
authorizations is to ensure that the activities conducted by 
the Navy do not undermine the health of marine mammal 
populations, and to establish mitigation measures to achieve 
the ``least practicable adverse impact'' on the affected 
species.
    The law requires frequent reviews because marine mammals--
especially whales, dolphins, and porpoises, which live 
exclusively in the ocean--are difficult to study and monitor in 
the wild. These animals live for decades, reproduce slowly, and 
often range over great distances. A 2007 study by NMFS 
biologists found that scientists would be unlikely to detect 
precipitous declines in most of the country's marine mammal 
populations at current levels of monitoring.
    Section 312 would extend the authorization period for 
Department of Defense activities from five years to 10 years 
under the MMPA, curtailing critical oversight of the Navy's 
impacts, which are already considerable. During its most recent 
round of environmental reviews, the Navy has estimated that 
over five years it would kill more than 250 whales and other 
marine mammals, cause permanent injury to another 3,000, and 
disrupt foraging and other vital behaviors more than 30 million 
times.
    The Navy has conducted ground-breaking research on marine 
mammals and acoustics in recent years to comply with the MMPA. 
This research has helped ensure that the best-available-science 
is used to review Navy activities and improve mitigation of 
harm to marine mammals. These research activities and 
mitigation measures should be increased and strengthened, 
rather than weakened or removed.
    The MMPA already contains ample accommodations for national 
security. It was amended in 2003 to limit mitigation of 
military readiness activities to what is ``practicable,'' 
taking into account personnel safety, practicability of 
implementation, and effects on military readiness. The Navy's 
requests for authorization to harm marine mammals have never 
been rejected. Furthermore, the MMPA provides a two-year 
exemption from compliance that the Secretary of Defense can 
invoke, at his discretion, for national security purposes, and 
can renew for subsequent two-year intervals as needed.
    We are, as you know, deeply committed to our nation's 
national security. We also believe it is necessary and 
achievable to protect our natural heritage, and therefore we 
oppose the inclusion of Section 312 in the FY19 National 
Defense Authorization Act.
