        NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR FISCAL YEAR 2023

                                _______
                                

  July 1, 2022.--Committed to the Committee of the Whole House on the 
              State of the Union and ordered to be printed

                                _______
                                

     Mr. Smith of Washington, from the Committee on Armed Services,
                        submitted the following

                              R E P O R T

                        [To accompany H.R. 7900]

      [Including cost estimate of the Congressional Budget Office]

    The Committee on Armed Services, to whom was referred the 
bill (H.R. 7900) to authorize appropriations for fiscal year 
2023 for military activities of the Department of Defense and 
for military construction, to prescribe military personnel 
strengths for such fiscal year, and for other purposes, having 
considered the same, reports favorably thereon with amendments 
and recommends that the bill as amended do pass.
    The amendments are as follows:
    The amendment strikes all after the enacting clause of the 
bill and inserts a new text which appears in italic type in the 
reported bill.
    The title of the bill is amended to reflect the amendment 
to the text of the bill.

                       PURPOSE OF THE LEGISLATION

    The bill would: (1) authorize appropriations for fiscal 
year 2023 for procurement and for research, development, test, 
and evaluation; (2) authorize appropriations for fiscal year 
2023 for operation and maintenance and for working capital 
funds; (3) authorize for fiscal year 2023 the personnel 
strength for each Active Duty Component of the military 
departments, and the personnel strength for the Selected 
Reserve for each Reserve Component of the Armed Forces; (4) 
modify various elements of compensation for military personnel 
and impose certain requirements and limitations on personnel 
actions in the defense establishment; (5) authorize 
appropriations for fiscal year 2023 for military construction 
and family housing; (6) authorize appropriations for fiscal 
year 2023 for the Department of Energy national security 
programs; and (7) authorize appropriations for fiscal year 2023 
for the Maritime Administration.

                    RATIONALE FOR THE COMMITTEE BILL

    H.R. 7900, the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2023, is the primary vehicle through which Congress 
fulfills its responsibility 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 and briefings 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. H.R. 7900 provides the Department of Defense and 
the Department of Energy with important policy authorities to 
speed decision making and improve agility, while improving 
readiness and increasing capabilities and capacities.
    H.R. 7900 authorizes a defense enterprise that draws on all 
sources of our national power, one that draws on our diversity, 
vibrant economy, dynamic civil society, innovative 
technological base, enduring democratic values, and our broad 
and deep network of partnerships and alliances around the 
world.
    Central to H.R. 7900 is the focus on improving the lives of 
our men and women in uniform. The committee believes our 
service members confront unique, complex challenges and deserve 
our support.
    H.R. 7900 meets the committee's goal of facilitating a 
strong national defense apparatus that is resourced properly, 
accountable for its actions, and cognizant of the essential and 
direct oversight role of Congress. H.R. 7900 emphasizes 
transformational change and leans forward to fortify the 
Department's technological advantage to respond to ensure our 
servicemembers have the tools required to address growing 
threats in this area. H.R. 7900 allows our military to improve 
readiness, expand capabilities, and invest in the new 
technologies required to secure our country and protect us 
against our adversaries.

                                HEARINGS

    In compliance with clause 3(c) of rule XIII, (1) the

                           COMMITTEE POSITION

    On June 22, 2022, the Committee on Armed Services held a 
markup session to consider H.R. 7900. The committee ordered the 
bill H.R. 7900, as amended, favorably reported to the House of 
Representatives by a recorded vote of 57-1, 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. 7900. 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.
    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 each military 
personnel account.

          SUMMARY OF DISCRETIONARY AUTHORIZATIONS IN THE BILL

    The President requested discretionary budget authority of 
$802.4 billion for national defense programs within the 
jurisdiction of the committee for fiscal year 2023. Of this 
amount, $772.5 billion was requested for Department of Defense 
programs, $29.5 billion was requested for Department of Energy 
national security programs and the Defense Nuclear Facilities 
Safety Board, and $0.4 billion was requested for defense-
related activities associated with the Maritime Administration.
    The committee recommends an overall discretionary 
authorization for national defense of $839.3 billion in fiscal 
year 2023. The committee authorization represents a $71.1 
billion increase above the national defense levels provided for 
in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 
(Public Law 117-81).
    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 2023 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 2023 is $826.7 billion, 
based on assumptions provided 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 2023, 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


AH-64 Apache manned-unmanned teaming capabilities

    The budget request included $85.8 million for the AH-64 
Modification program. The committee recognizes that the AH-64E 
Apache attack helicopter currently serves a dual role in Army 
aviation as the lead aircraft in a manned-unmanned teaming 
combination performing the armed reconnaissance mission. Since 
the retirement of the OH-58 Kiowa Warrior, the Apache, teamed 
with either the RQ-7 Shadow unmanned aerial vehicle or the MQ-
1C Gray Eagle unmanned aircraft system, has filled the armed 
reconnaissance capability gap. The committee notes that the 
Army's Future Attack and Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) will 
eventually fill this gap after 2030. Until FARA is operational 
and fielded, Apache manned-unmanned teaming (MUMT) will remain 
a critical capability.
    The committee understands that the Army has funded the 
manned-unmanned teaming--expanded effort to ensure reliability 
of Apache mission command, control, and communications while 
operating with the unmanned aircraft. The committee is aware 
that an open system design could allow for future incorporation 
of enhanced communication and navigation ability for operations 
in a radio frequency-contested environment. The committee 
encourages the Apache program to continue investing in upgraded 
MUMT capability to maintain armed reconnaissance relevancy.
    Accordingly, the committee recommends $100.8 million, an 
increase of $15.0 million, for the AH-64 Modification program, 
specifically for additional manned-unmanned teaming--expanded 
systems.

Army high-altitude intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance

    The committee notes that intelligence, surveillance, and 
reconnaissance (ISR) systems fill critical roles in support of 
military operations across the globe. Demand for ISR continues 
to increase as the joint force reorients toward strategic 
competition. The committee recognizes that the Army has 
successfully augmented current service ISR capabilities with 
contractor-owned, contractor-operated (COCO) platforms to meet 
mission requirements and reduce operating costs for the 
military. The committee encourages the Secretary of the Army to 
continue utilizing the COCO model for ISR requirements in areas 
of operation of high value at the direction of the geographic 
combatant commanders, while developing an acquisition strategy 
to meet enduring ISR requirements.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Army to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than February 1, 2023, regarding the plan to 
implement a program of record to fill the gap in ISR 
capabilities, including for high-altitude capabilities, to meet 
validated ISR mission requirements.

Degraded visual environment systems for CH-47F Chinook

    The budget request included $11.2 million for CH-47 Cargo 
Helicopter Modifications. The committee has encouraged and 
supported efforts by the military services to develop and field 
modernized degraded visual environment (DVE) systems on rotary 
wing aircraft. Uncharted wires and low visibility brownout 
conditions present military helicopters with additional hazards 
during training and operational missions, sometimes leading to 
aircraft damage, aircraft loss, or aircrew fatalities. 
Collaboration between U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) 
and the Army resulted in cost and scheduling efficiencies in 
fielding a DVE Quick Reaction Capability on 15 medical 
evacuation and 25 special operations aircraft in advance of a 
combat deployment.
    The committee believes that enhanced DVE should remain a 
priority for rotary aviation communities and has urged the 
services to continue collaborating with the aim of developing 
and acquiring common systems where possible. Despite this 
guidance, the Army does not have a plan to integrate a DVE 
system on the remainder of its CH-47F fleet. The committee 
understands that the currently fielded DVE system on USSOCOM's 
MH-47G could be integrated onto the CH-47F with very little 
engineering, providing economic order savings across components 
as well as potentially lifesaving capability to Army aviators.
    The committee is concerned that, in light of an unfunded 
modernization program for the CH-47F, this aircraft could be 
flying for several more decades without this critical 
capability. The committee notes that Army aviation has the 
opportunity to integrate a DVE system on its CH-47 helicopters 
with minimal integration and qualifications costs within a 
year. Accordingly, the committee recommends $36.2 million, an 
increase of $25.0 million, for the CH-47 Cargo Helicopter 
Modification program, specifically for procurement and 
integration of degraded visual environment capability for the 
CH-47F aircraft.

Longer-Range Munitions for the AH-64 Apache Helicopter

    The committee supports the Army's interim long-range 
precision munition program to field a longer-range munition on 
the AH-64 Apache attack helicopter. The committee understands 
that, to date, this capability has been added to only two of 
the Army's Combat Aviation Brigades. The committee further 
notes that the Army's enduring program to field a future long-
range precision munition will not provide operational 
capability until the end of this decade to the Future Attack 
Reconnaissance Aircraft. Given that the Army expects to fly the 
Apache until at least 2050, the Army should consider additional 
options to enhance the lethality and survivability of its 
Combat Aviation Brigades.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Army to provide a briefing to the House Armed Services 
Committee by February 15, 2023, on options to field longer-
range precision munitions to the AH-64 Apache helicopter fleet. 
The briefing should include, at a minimum: the Army's current 
plan for fielding additional long-range munitions to the 
Apache, or a schedule for developing such a plan; the annual 
costs of upgrading the fleet using a federated model over the 
next 5-7 years; and opportunities for expediting fielding to a 
majority of its Combat Aviation Brigades by 2027.

                       Items of Special Interest


Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System

    The committee is aware that the Army is analyzing cost 
reduction initiatives for the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket 
System Extended Range (GMLRS-ER) rocket. The committee applauds 
this effort and encourages the Army to examine all cost 
reduction measures, including the qualification of a second 
source for the solid rocket motor (SRM). As the Army prepares 
to transition to the GMLRS-ER rocket, the committee further 
notes that having two qualified suppliers of SRMs will provide 
the service with a surge capacity, eliminate a single point 
failure disrupting production, and appropriately exercise the 
nation's SRM industrial base.

Tube-launched, optically tracked, wireless-guided missile system 
        modernization

    The committee supports the Army's continued investment in 
the tube-launched, optically tracked, wireless-guided (TOW) 
missile system to defeat known and future armored threats. The 
committee understands that the Army has two emerging 
requirements aimed at modernizing the TOW missile: the Close 
Combat Missile System-Heavy (CCMS-H) and the Multi-Purpose 
Guided Missile that is directly associated with the Optionally 
Manned Fighting Vehicle. However, the committee is concerned 
that the Army may be developing duplicative or redundant combat 
vehicle missile programs that may be unaffordable and could 
require a change in the TOW missile infrastructure fielded 
today.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of 
the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than December 23, 2022, on the Army's efforts to modernize the 
TOW missile system. The report shall address issues including, 
but not limited to:
    (1) details of requirements of the CCMS-H and the Multi-
Purpose Guided Missile;
    (2) schedules and cost estimates for developing and 
procuring the CCMS-H and the Multi-Purpose Guided Missile;
    (3) whether these new missile requirements maintain the TOW 
Form Fit Factor and if not, a breakout of schedules and cost 
estimates specific to the modification of existing TOW 
launchers fielded to the Army, Marine Corps, and allied 
nations;
    (4) any and all efforts to upgrade the current TOW2B 
missile configuration to prevent obsolescence and increase 
capability; and
    (5) opportunities to leverage the TOW Form Fit Factor to 
address adjacent mission requirements, including short-range 
air defense and counter-unmanned aerial systems.

        Procurement of Weapons and Tracked Combat Vehicles, Army


                       Items of Special Interest


Acquisition of Armored Vehicle Track Shoes and Pads

    The Committee is aware of the Army's efforts to manage 
strategic risk in the armored vehicle industrial base including 
its emphasis on the importance of the transparency and access 
to data on capabilities and capacities throughout the relevant 
supply chains necessary for realistic and timely risk 
assessment. The management challenges faced by the Army when 
confronted with evidence of risk in the armored vehicle 
industrial base and supply chains are compounded by instability 
in demand or unreliable investment over time to procure the 
types and quantities of components, parts, or supplies for such 
vehicles.
    The committee notes that sometimes overlooked for track-
laying armored vehicles are the track shoes and pads necessary 
for their combat and training readiness. Accordingly, the 
committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide a 
briefing to the House Armed Services Committee not later than 
March 15, 2023, on its assessment and plans for the management 
of risk in the armored vehicle track industrial base. This 
assessment and plan shall include:
    (1) An identification and assessment of track on-hand 
inventories and for how long current inventories will meet 
estimated requirements;
    (2) An identification and assessment of track production 
sources, capabilities, and capacities to sustain inventories 
required for current and future demand through 2027; and,
    (3) An identification of planned schedule and funding 
profiles for each type of armored vehicle track required.

Comptroller General Review of Army Medium Caliber Weapon System

    The committee recognizes the efforts of the Army to upgrade 
and improve the lethality of the Stryker Infantry Carrier 
Vehicle with an unmanned turreted autocannon, known as the 
Medium Caliber Weapons System (MCWS). The committee notes, 
however, that questions have been raised about the Army's 
requirements for the system related to lethality and 
survivability during the acquisition process. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Comptroller General of the United States 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than April 1, 2023, on the Medium Caliber Weapon System 
(MCWS). The report shall include the following:
    (1) an assessment of the requirements determination and 
acquisition process throughout technology research, 
development, testing, and procurement of the MCWS;
    (2) a review of actions coordinated and taken by 
acquisition program officials and the Army Futures Command's 
Cross Functional Team regarding the requirements determination 
and acquisition processes, including those related to 
integration of the MCWS into the Stryker Infantry Carrier 
Vehicle;
    (3) an assessment of MCWS requirements determination, 
technology research, development, testing, and procurement 
schedule and funding profiles including operational needs 
statements or other requests originating from Army deployed or 
forward stationed units;
    (4) an analysis of MCWS program costs, including a 
comparison of MCWS costs to those for similar combat systems in 
the Army and Marine Corps;
    (5) an assessment of lessons learned, if any, by 
acquisition program and Cross Functional Team officials, how 
those lessons were distributed, and actions taken by officials 
relative to those lessons for the improvement of requirements 
determination, technology development, testing, and production; 
and
    (6) an assessment of safety risks and mitigation procedures 
implemented by testing, acquisition program, and Cross 
Functional Team officials throughout MCWS program technology 
development and testing.

M240 small arms industrial base

    The committee remains concerned that the Army is 
underestimating risk in the small arms industrial base, 
particularly with respect to the family of M240 medium machine 
guns. The committee notes that the Army has programmed no 
funding for M240 procurement in fiscal year 2023. The committee 
understands that the Army has achieved the procurement 
objective for the M240 medium machine gun and that current M240 
acquisition and sustainment strategies rely on replacement of 
individual parts instead of new production. The committee is 
concerned about the impact of this strategy on the industrial 
base and the potential risk of eliminating a production line 
that would be difficult and costly to reestablish at a later 
date. The committee understands that the M240 provides a vital 
capability for both the U.S. military as well as for foreign 
allies that also use the platform. The ongoing crisis in 
Ukraine has highlighted both the need for active production 
lines for critical equipment as well as the risks associated 
with not having them when unforeseen events arise. The 
committee is concerned that the resulting small arms industrial 
base will lack the capacity and capability necessary to support 
current and future Department of Defense and allied 
requirements.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than December 23, 2022, that includes, but is not 
limited to:
    (1) the state of the small arms industrial base both 
currently and as envisioned based on the fiscal year 2023 
Future Years Defense Program;
    (2) envisioned future requirements for M240 weapons, 
including foreign military sales;
    (3) the impacts to the small arms industrial base of 
shuttering legacy production lines such as the M240; and
    (4) options to sustain the small arms industrial base 
through the upgrade of legacy systems, such as replacing the 
existing inventory of M240B medium machine guns with the 
lighter weight M240L model.

                    Procurement of Ammunition, Army


                       Items of Special Interest


Modernization of conventional ammunition production

    The committee appreciates the Army's ongoing efforts to 
modernize the conventional ammunition industrial base. Aging 
infrastructure and outdated manufacturing processes create 
potentially unsafe conditions for the ammunition production 
workforce, as well as unforeseen cost and schedule constraints 
due to potential mechanical failures and supply chain risk. The 
committee also applauds the Army's 15-year modernization plan 
for the organic industrial base. Army modernization priorities, 
such as the new 6.8 Next Generation Squad Weapon projectile, 
require a modern and safe manufacturing process in order to 
achieve an affordable and reliable projectile.
    However, the committee is concerned that the base budget 
funding is not adequate to achieve timely and efficient 
industrial facilities modernization. The committee encourages 
the Army to review the current government-owned, contractor-
operated management and operational model for potential 
opportunities for efficiencies and contractor incentives for 
long-term cost and production stability. Finally, the committee 
also encourages the Army to continue to seek opportunities to 
accelerate and prioritize in the base budget conventional 
ammunition industrial facilities modernization.

                       Items of Special Interest


Army and Marine Corps requirements for soft armor

    The committee is concerned that the Army and the Marine 
Corps have not increased the objective requirements for soldier 
protection programs. The committee is aware that next-
generation aramid (NGA) delivers an approximate 30 percent 
increase in tenacity over existing para-aramid fibers, enabling 
a previously unattainable level of weight reduction to woven 
ballistic protection. The inherent flame resistance of NGA 
provides fire protection at minimal additional weight or cost, 
thus enabling best-in-class fragment and ballistic protection 
in flexible soft body armor. It is inherently more flexible 
than ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, making it ideal 
for conforming to female soldiers. NGA will deliver immediate 
benefits to active soft armor programs, enabling weight 
reduction to Army and Marine Corps programs like the Soldier 
Protection System, Modular Scalable Vest, Ballistic Combat 
Shirt, and Blast Pelvic Protector. Additionally, NGA potential 
applications include material hybridized rifle-resistant 
helmets, ballistic plates, vehicle spall liners, and hard 
armor.
    Therefore, 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 23, 2022, on updating military requirements, 
incorporating the gains made by NGA.

CMOSS standards evaluation and enforcement

    The committee remains concerned that the Army has not 
planned for appropriate resourcing to evaluate Command, 
Control, Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, 
Surveillance, Reconnaissance (C5ISR)/Electronic Warfare Modular 
Open Suite of Standards (CMOSS) compliance in future CMOSS 
embedded computing-related procurements, such as that of the 
forthcoming CMOSS Mounted Form Factor. The committee is also 
concerned about the Army's available resources to evaluate 
third-party software offerings for compliance to the multiple 
CMOSS software standards. Given CMOSS is intended as a 
regularly evolving suite of standards, failure to resource 
regularly assured compliance with these standards before, 
during, and after procurement risks the interoperability of 
entire Army systems.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives not later than December 
23, 2022, on plans to ensure appropriate evaluation and 
certification of Army modular open systems architecture (MOSA) 
standards. This report shall include, but is not limited to, 
plans to establish, fund, and manage dedicated engineering 
technical responsibility, and the acquisition and competition 
plan for CMOSS Mounted Form Factor capability. This report 
shall also include what dedicated staffing and laboratory 
resources have been established, or are still required, to 
certify and validate the implementation of Army MOSA interfaces 
for industry and government.

Integrated tactical edge network technologies

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense is 
developing and prototyping next-generation integrated sensor 
and communication technologies in support of programs such as 
Joint All-Domain Command and Control (JADC2). These next-
generation technologies could provide critical data and voice 
communications capabilities as the Department begins to address 
the threat of near-peer adversaries and turns its focus to the 
great power competition as laid out in the 2022 National 
Defense Strategy. The committee is also aware that existing 
technologies could support an accelerated integration of next-
generation technologies using cellular-based secure tactical 
edge networks that can operate in contested and congested 
environments.
    The committee recommends the Department continue to 
prioritize the development, prototyping, testing, and potential 
procurement of such government and commercial next-generation 
integrated sensor and communication technologies. Accordingly, 
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 April 15, 2023, on 
the Department's plans for Government and commercially 
developed next-generation integrated sensor and communication 
technologies. The required briefing shall:
    (1) identify and evaluate costs and benefits of government 
and commercially available integrated tactical edge network 
technologies based on cellular networks; and
    (2) identify and evaluate risks related to the operational 
use of next-generation commercially available integrated sensor 
and communication technologies, including but not limited to 
the use of cellular-based communications in contested or denied 
conditions.

Textiles industrial base study

    The committee is concerned about the Department of 
Defense's industrial base stability and future production 
capacity for individual soldier and Marine clothing equipment, 
specifically including textiles and body armor. Prior year 
budget requests planned for funding of this equipment out of 
overseas contingency operations (OCO) funds. After the 
realignment of OCO funds back into the base budget, the 
committee believes there is no sustainable and stable plan from 
the Department of Defense for the industrial base to meet the 
current, future, and potential surge needs of individual 
soldier clothing, textiles, and body armor. 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 by December 23, 2022, on plans to 
secure, fund, and stabilize these industrial base capabilities. 
The report shall address the following:
    (1) the Department of Defense's historic spending on 
clothing and textiles and body armor;
    (2) the minimum sustainment rate for the clothing and 
textiles industrial base across the Future Years Defense 
Program;
    (3) the minimum sustainment rate for helmets, hard armor, 
soft armor, and flame-resistant uniforms;
    (4) the impact to the industrial base if the Department is 
not resourced to meet the minimum sustainment rates for the 
above;
    (5) the service-level cost share of the above;
    (6) the Department's expected annual operational demand and 
consumption rate for the above; and
    (7) the Department's plan for a sustainable organizational 
clothing and individual equipment strategy to include Arctic, 
sub-Arctic, jungle, and arid environments.

                       Items of Special Interest


F/A-18E/F advanced electronic warfare suite upgrade

    The committee notes there is an operational need for an 
integrated electronic warfare suite to ensure the F/A-18 E/F 
Block III strike fighter aircraft fleet remains relevant and 
survivable in highly contested, anti-access/area denial 
environments. The committee recognizes that the Commander for 
Naval Air Forces (CNAF) noted on the CNAF's fiscal year 2023 
annual priorities list a requirement for F/A-18E/F to be 
equipped with an advanced electronic warfare (ADVEW) suite. The 
committee notes the ADVEW suite is intended to serve as an 
upgrade for the existing AN/ALQ-214A(V) radio frequency 
countermeasure and AN/ALR-67(V) radar warning receiver (RWR) 
systems and is integrated with the APG-79 wide band receiver, 
active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar that is 
scheduled to be deployed on F/A-18E/F Block III configured 
aircraft as well as on the next generation of naval aviation 
platforms. The committee is aware of the need to expand the 
service life of the F/A-18E/F fleet and supports the Navy's 
efforts to improve the F/A-18E/F readiness and capabilities 
beyond 2030.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy, 
in coordination with the Commander, U.S. European Command and 
the Commander, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, to provide a briefing 
to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than May 1, 
2023, on the Navy's plan to ensure the tactical relevance and 
survivability of the F/A-18 E/F with the ADVEW suite. The 
briefing should include:
    (1) the mission systems, if any, that are primary drivers 
in achieving tactically relevant primary mission capable or 
fully mission capable F/A-18E/F aircraft, given the context of 
operating in an increasingly contested environment against 
potential near-peer adversaries;
    (2) how the Navy will leverage highly advanced compact, 
electronic antenna solutions that provide low-risk 
modifications on aircraft size, weight, and power, as well as 
assessing integration objectives for minimal hardware changes, 
ease of installation, and upgradeability to the existing F/A-
18E/F fleet;
    (3) how new ADVEW capabilities will fully integrate with 
current and expanded APG-79 AESA radars;
    (4) any additional resources required to maintain the 
survivability of the F/A-18E/F fleet until the Navy's Next 
Generation Air Dominance (NGAD) is operational; and
    (5) an integrated master schedule for F/A-18E/F ADVEW suite 
and Block III upgrades.

Tactical strike-fighter and electronic attack aircraft inventory 
        management and shortfall of the Navy

    The committee continues to be frustrated by the Navy's 
year-to-year significant revisions regarding strike-fighter 
inventory management (SFIM) analyses and results. The committee 
recalls that in the Navy's fiscal year 2022 analysis, the Navy 
claimed that the strike-fighter shortfall would be resolved to 
zero in 2025, 5 years earlier than planned as compared to the 
fiscal year 2021 budget submission analyses. However, the 
committee was suspicious of the Navy's fiscal year 2022 
analyses because the Navy had delayed the fielding of its 
planned F/A-XX aircraft to replace the F/A-18E/F aircraft, 
removed numerous F/A-18E/F Block II aircraft from the planned 
Service-Life Modification (SLM) program, and the Navy's F-35C 
procurement quantity had still not reached 24 aircraft per 
year. The committee believed that those significant factors 
would exacerbate the shortfall and would not contribute to the 
expedited timing of resolving the shortfall in 2025 as compared 
to the 2030 date stated during the fiscal year 2021 budget 
submission.
    The committee notes that for the fiscal year 2023 budget 
submission and accompanying SFIM analyses, the Navy delayed 
procurement of 31 new F-35C aircraft and removed 19 fielded F/
A-18E/F Super Hornet aircraft from the SLM program in its 
Future Years Defense Plan, thereby extending the Navy's strike-
fighter shortfall projection to now reach zero in fiscal year 
2031, 6 years later than last year's analyses. Additionally, 
the committee discovered that the Navy's current SFIM analyses 
do not include the statutory mandate in section 8062(e) of 
title 10, United States Code, to maintain 10 aircraft carrier 
air wings (CVW) beginning on or after October 1, 2025, and 
therefore determining that the Navy does not actually account 
for the strike-fighter force structure required to be 
maintained according to statute. Further, the Navy still plans 
its strike-fighter inventory without including traditional 
margin for attrition reserve aircraft that would backfill 
forces in cases of training or contingency operational losses 
of aircraft. The Navy should plan for 54 aircraft per CVW but 
instead only plans for 44 aircraft per CVW. The Navy remains 
overly optimistic assuming better than currently performing SLM 
program execution by assuming a 12-month aircraft turnaround 
time beginning in fiscal year 2024. Currently, the basic 
capabilities SLM program is averaging an 18-month to 29-month 
turnaround time for aircraft and has yet to perform the more 
complex SLM process which begins to integrate Block III 
capabilities in fiscal year 2023 at a currently estimated cost 
of $27.5 million per aircraft.
    The committee is also concerned by the Navy's proposal to 
put into long-term storage, beginning in fiscal year 2024, the 
entire fleet of land-based EA-18G ``Growler'' electronic attack 
aircraft supporting expeditionary squadrons (VAQ), consisting 
of 25 total aircraft. The committee notes that the five 
expeditionary VAQ squadrons are separate from the Navy's CVW 
squadrons that deploy on aircraft carriers. The land-based VAQ 
squadrons traditionally deploy to overseas basing locations to 
provide electronic attack capabilities to the joint force, the 
same forces that the Department of Defense deployed in late 
March 2022 to support Ukrainian contingency operations in the 
European theater.
    Therefore, the committee includes a provision elsewhere in 
this Act that would require the Secretary of the Navy to 
maintain a minimum quantity of high-demand, low-density EA-18G 
aircraft capabilities to meet Department of Defense combat air 
forces training, testing, and operational steady-state and 
major contingency requirements in support of geographical 
combatant commanders' planning and operations. The committee 
also expects the Navy to include in future SFIM analyses 
excursions that integrate the 10 CVW requirement mandated by 
section 8062(e) of title 10, United States Code, and a force 
structure composition consisting of 54 strike-fighter aircraft 
per CVW.

                       Items of Special Interest


Advanced Low-Cost Munitions Ordnance

    The committee continues to support the development and 
production of the Advanced Low-Cost Munitions Ordnance (ALaMO), 
a guided 57mm projectile with fire-and-forget capability. This 
projectile has the potential to counter the growing threats 
posed by small boat swarms, unmanned aerial systems, and other 
emerging threats. The Committee is also aware that the ALaMO 
round has been tested to confirm its effectiveness, providing 
confidence that the munition program is ready to enter full 
rate production in 2023. Furthermore, the Navy's affordability 
objective for the ALaMO round has faced an unstable production 
profile throughout its low-rate initial production phase. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to 
provide a briefing to House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 31, 2023 on the ALaMO inventory objective, an assessment 
of the most efficient procurement rate to meet the inventory 
objective, and savings, if any, that could be achieved through 
multiyear procurement.

                   Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy


                       Items of Special Interest


Additive manufacturing in shipbuilding and ship repair

    The committee remains concerned with shipbuilding supply 
chains, and how existing challenges induce cost and schedule 
risk into our shipbuilding programs. The committee believes 
that additive and advanced manufacturing capabilities could 
induce some resiliency into the supply chain and assist with 
construction and repair techniques. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by March 31, 2023, on the use 
of additive manufacturing capabilities in traditional 
shipbuilding and repair; the feasibility of entering into 
public-private partnerships with agencies or organizations with 
expertise in these areas; and an assessment of how public-
private partnerships could eliminate or mitigate known 
capability gaps.

Assessment of the Navy's amphibious warfare fleet

    The Navy and Marine Corps have identified amphibious 
capabilities as an area of emphasis in future conflicts and are 
reviewing the requirements and acquisition of the fleet of 
assets dedicated to this mission. The committee is concerned 
about the potential impacts this has for the acquisition of 
amphibious ships that are best suited for prosecuting a future 
amphibious invasion. Further, the committee is also concerned 
about the broader implications of the importance of amphibious 
warfare capabilities, the probability of such a conflict, and 
the cost of building and maintaining a fleet that can prosecute 
such a conflict. The committee is interested to learn more 
about the analysis, decision-making processes, and the 
frequency with which the Navy and Marine Corps review 
requirements for amphibious warfare and align these 
requirements with acquisition programs. Specifically, the 
committee seeks to understand how the potential changes to 
requirements would impact the acquisition plans identified in 
the most recent 30-year shipbuilding plan.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to review the Navy's plans for the future 
amphibious warfare fleet. At a minimum, the review shall 
address the following elements:
    (1) analysis of the current amphibious warfare fleet;
    (2) Navy and Marine Corps future plans for the fleet and 
how it will be positioned to evolve as technology changes;
    (3) an assessment of the costs of building and maintaining 
a fleet whose primary mission is amphibious conflict, such as 
the light amphibious warship, large deck amphibious ships, and 
LPD-class ships; and
    (4) other items the Comptroller General determines 
appropriate.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 1, 2023, on the Comptroller General's 
preliminary findings and to present final results in a format 
and timeframe agreed to at the time of the briefing.

Briefing on the Navy's Hospital Ship Modernization Program

    The committee supports efforts to modernize the United 
States Navy's fleet of hospital ships to ensure that military 
medical readiness is at an all-time high as the Department of 
Defense shifts its primary focus to the Indo-Pacific. The 
committee is aware of the unique capabilities a smaller and 
more agile hospital ship will bring to the Navy's ability to 
provide medical needs to its distributed fleet. Further, the 
committee notes the importance of having hospital ships with 
the capabilities to support aircraft performing medical 
evacuation or casualty evacuation missions.
    The committee believes this modernization program will 
increase flexibility and enhance the military's ability to 
provide care to service members in a complex environment. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to 
deliver a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
January 15, 2023, on the Navy's efforts to modernize its 
hospital ships and provide an update on how the plan fits into 
the National Defense Strategy.

Constellation-class guided missile frigate industrial base and 
        workforce

    The committee expects that the new Constellation-class 
guided-missile frigate (FFG-62) will have an important role in 
the Navy battle force, and as a new ship class, will need to 
robustly build out a new industrial base, which includes 
shipbuilder manufacturing capacity, a unique supply base, and a 
skilled workforce. This is critical as FFG-62 ramps up 
production. The committee has previously supported additional 
investments to expand the capacity and capabilities of ship-
specific industrial bases like those for DDG-51 destroyers, 
Columbia-class ballistic missile submarines, and Virginia-class 
attack submarines, which have resulted in positive impacts on 
program performance. Given the historical challenges faced by 
the Navy and industry with the construction of new ship 
classes, the committee strongly supports similar investments 
into the FFG-62 industrial base, including infrastructure and 
manufacturing improvements, supplier development, and workforce 
training.

Immersive virtual training

    The committee is aware the Navy's Immersive Virtual 
Training (IVT) and Surface Training Immersive Gaming and 
Simulation (STIGS) programs are successfully delivering Surface 
Training Advanced Virtual Environment (STAVE) compliant 
courseware and trainers to the Navy's surface fleet, resulting 
in more effective and efficient sailors, improved team 
readiness and retention, and reductions in the time and expense 
of qualifying and certifying sailors.
    The committee understands that through these programs, a 
significant level of IVT software content and training 
solutions have already been developed for U.S. and Foreign 
Military Sales (FMS) ship platforms that share extensive system 
commonality across U.S. Navy ship classes and fleet 
modernization efforts. This provides the Navy with an 
opportunity to leverage existing IVT digital content that can 
be tailored and repurposed with minimal time and cost 
investment to meet the training needs of additional U.S. ship 
programs that share common fleet subsystems, such as the new 
construction FFG-62, LCS Lethality and Survivability 
modernization, and other Navy ship classes.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by March 1, 2023, as to options for implementing an expanded 
IVT content. Specifically, this briefing shall include: an 
analysis of all existing IVT digital content created for U.S. 
and FMS surface fleet programs to identify common ship 
platforms, fleet subsystems, and training objectives that are 
candidates to leverage existing like-training IVT content 
investments; and, implementation options for this expanded 
content.

Large surface combatant Arctic operations

    The committee recognizes the importance of the Arctic 
region to United States security and interests. With the 
decreasing sea ice levels in the Arctic, the region will become 
a place for increasing commercial and military activity. The 
territorial claims of Russia in the Arctic, as well as China's 
rhetoric around the Arctic, claiming itself to be a ``near-
Arctic'' state, necessitate a strategic shift and focus on this 
emerging region.
    The committee recognizes that Navy large surface combatant 
vessels lack the capability to operate in sea ice conditions at 
the levels present in the Arctic. This gap in capability poses 
a risk to the United States' ability to defend itself, advance 
its interests, and project power. The committee believes that 
the Flight III Arleigh Burke-class destroyers offer an 
opportunity to fill this gap. The committee understands that 
the current class of destroyers cannot be reasonably outfitted 
to act as icebreakers, but notes that industry experts have 
acknowledged that the ship class is ideally suited to 
improvements that will allow them to operate in ice-diminished 
seas.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 31, 2023, on the feasibility of ice-hardening the Flight 
III Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. The report should include 
at a minimum:
    (1) the overall suitability of the Flight III Arleigh 
Burke-class destroyers for operations in ice-diminished waters;
    (2) the improvements in hull form and hull strength to 
allow for operations in ice-diminished waters;
    (3) the power plant's ability to support the increase in 
displacement that would result from these improvements;
    (4) the improvements to auxiliary systems and combat 
systems for the destroyers to operate in the Arctic;
    (5) the increase in capability that ice-capable destroyers 
would provide to combatant commanders;
    (6) a comparative analysis of the feasibility of the 
improvements versus the capabilities they would provide; and
    (7) the application of these considerations in the design 
of the next-generation guided-missile destroyer (DDG-X).

Large surface combatant life extension and modernization

    The committee is concerned about the Navy's plan to 
inactivate 18 large surface combatants (LSC) between 2023 and 
2027, and the resultant loss of combat capability and capacity. 
Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to 
submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 31, 2023, on the Navy's plan for cruisers and DDG-51 
Flight I destroyers. The report should include:
    (1) an assessment of modernization and/or service life 
extension opportunities for each of the 18 LSCs planned for 
inactivation;
    (2) an assessment of estimated costs to life-extend and/or 
modernize these ships;
    (3) an assessment of the capability and capacity of 
original equipment manufacturers to perform potential life 
extensions and/or modernizations; and
    (4) an assessment of the resultant increase in capability 
and capacity if these ships were retained in the active 
inventory, vice inactivated per the 30-year shipbuilding plan.

Mobile Device Charging Capability at Sleeping Berths on Naval Vessels

    The committee is concerned that sailors assigned to sea 
duty lack suitable mobile device charging infrastructure at 
their sleeping accommodations. Therefore, the committee directs 
the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report to the Committees 
on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives by March 1, 2023, addressing the feasibility of 
equipping each battle force ship with mobile device charging 
infrastructure that is accessible from each sleeping 
accommodation for each individual embarked aboard the ship. The 
report should include:
    (1) an identification of alternative types of mobile device 
charging infrastructure that could be installed in the sleeping 
berths of each battle force ship,
    (2) estimated costs to install and sustain such 
alternatives of mobile device charging infrastructure,
    (3) estimated timelines for installing mobile device 
charging infrastructure in ship sleeping accommodations,
    (4) potential impacts on readiness of installing mobile 
device charging infrastructure in ship sleeping berths, and
    (5) a recommendation on whether mobile device charging 
infrastructure should be installed in sleeping berths on each 
battle force ship and, if so, a recommended alternative.

Review of the Constellation-class guided-missile frigate program

    In April 2020, the Navy competitively awarded a detail, 
design, and construction contract for the lead Constellation-
class guided-missile frigate (FFG-62). To achieve increased 
capability, the Navy committed to procuring a ship that is 
significantly more expensive than its current class of small 
surface combatants, the littoral combat ships (LCS). The Navy 
expects the lead frigate to cost nearly $1.3 billion, with an 
average procurement cost of approximately $1.1 billion for the 
remaining 19 ships currently planned for the program. The 
shipbuilder is currently maturing its detail design to support 
construction of the lead ship beginning in 2022.
    The Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported in 2019 
that the Navy's approach to acquiring the frigate was expected 
to help reduce the risk of design and technology problems that 
have plagued other Navy shipbuilding programs. However, GAO 
also found that the Navy asked for $1.3 billion to build the 
first ship before having a solid understanding of its design 
and cost. Given the widespread cost growth and schedule delays 
in Navy shipbuilding programs in general, including the LCS 
program, the committee directs the Comptroller General of the 
United States to review the Constellation-class guided missile 
frigate program. At a minimum, the review shall address the 
following elements:
    (1) implication of FFG-62 design changes from the parent 
ship design on the Navy's plans to mature the design to support 
construction of the lead ship within cost, schedule, and 
performance expectations;
    (2) the Navy's acquisition approach, including any plans 
for procurement beyond the 20 Constellation-class frigates 
currently planned or for the potential addition of a follow 
yard to increase production;
    (3) overall test and evaluation plans, including how the 
Navy's new land-based engineering site for the frigate helps 
address technical and programmatic risk; and
    (4) other items the Comptroller General determines 
appropriate.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 1, 2023, on the Comptroller General's 
preliminary findings and to present final results in a format 
and timeframe agreed to at the time of the briefing.

Vertical launch system on EPF ships

    The committee is concerned about the Navy's plan to 
inactivate 18 large surface combatants (LSC) between 2023 and 
2027, and the resultant loss in firepower capacity due to the 
reduction in vertical launch systems (VLS) available to 
combatant commanders. Accordingly, the committee directs the 
Secretary of the Navy to conduct a feasibility study on 
converting expeditionary fast transport (EPF) ships into 
arsenal ships equipped with 64 VLS tubes. The committee further 
directs the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by March 31, 2023, on its 
findings. The report shall include, at a minimum:
    (1) an engineering assessment regarding suitability for EPF 
ships to be equipped with VLS;
    (2) an assessment of additional combat systems upgrades 
necessary to enable EPF to employ weapons from a VLS;
    (3) an assessment of additional manpower and training 
requirements associated with EPF employment of weapons 
utilizing VLS; and
    (4) cost assessments associated with full implementation of 
VLS on EPF ships.

Littoral Combat Ship Modernization and Maintenance

    The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS) was designed as a flexible 
platform to enable quick deployment of capability. In parallel 
to its ongoing efforts to assess the maintenance, reliability 
and employment of both LCS variants, the committee urges the 
Navy to explore expanding LCS capability to meet revised 
mission requirements in support of Navy fleet architecture, 
including through a proof of concept for a modified lethality & 
survivability upgrade. This proof of concept could include 
Enhanced Electronic Warfare Capability (SEWIP BLK II-Lite), 
Integrated Naval Strike Missile (NSM), Link 11 and Link 16 LoS 
and SATCOM, and a containerized launcher (MK70 MOD 1). It could 
also present the opportunity to progress the Vertical Launch 
ASROC Extended Range (VLA-ER) Anti-Submarine Weapon capability.
    Consequently, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Navy, in consultation with Chief of Naval Operations and the 
Commandant of the Marine Corps, to submit to the congressional 
defense committees a report on Littoral Combat Ships no later 
than March 1, 2023 that includes the following:
    1. A description of the schedule and cost associated with 
Freedom-variant Littoral Combat Ship combining gearbox repairs 
and modifications;
    2. A description of sustainment strategy options for both 
Littoral Combat Ship variants that account for their unique 
characteristics and manning levels, including commercial 
sustainment options that could be employed to increase 
operational availability, as well as technical qualifications 
of Littoral Combat Ships Maintenance Execution Teams and the 
Navy's rationale for removing these teams from Littoral Combat 
Ship squadron organizations;
    3. The Navy's plan to employ usage and failure data to 
maintain adequate spare part inventories to prevent the 
cannibalization of active ships;
    4. An analysis of near and mid-term lethality, 
survivability, or sensing upgrades that could enhance the 
operational relevance of the Littoral Combat Ship in the 
current global security environment, including plans and any 
associated costs of increasing the command and control 
capability of these ships to further allow them to operate in 
support of Navy strike groups and as part of the Distributed 
Maritime Operations concept;
    5. An assessment of the impact on the global security 
environment that forward based Littoral Combat Ships could play 
by enhancing American naval presence in the 5th, 6th, and 7th 
Fleet area of operations; and,
    6. Options and potential benefits of using Littoral Combat 
Ships to host and facilitate Marines conducting Expeditionary 
Advanced Basing Operations, particularly prior to the 
operational availability of the Light Amphibious Warship.

Next Generation Surface Search Radar

    The committee understands the AN/SPS-73(V)1B Next 
Generation Surface Search Radar (NGSSR) is a multi-mission 
software configurable radar that delivers improved situational 
awareness capabilities to the U.S. Navy surface fleet through 
advancements in safe navigation, periscope detection, fast 
attack defense, and drone detection.
    The committee supports the NGSSR program and notes it has 
successfully achieved all phases of developmental testing and 
has transitioned to full-rate production, with radar systems 
being delivered to shipyards for installation across the 
surface fleet, including: aircraft carriers (CVN), guided-
missile destroyers (DDG), guided-missile cruisers (CG), future 
frigate (FFG(X)), and amphibious platforms. However, 
understanding NGSSR is designated for accelerated deployment as 
a priority requirement from the Navy's 2017 comprehensive 
review of the USS McCain and USS Fitzgerald collisions, the 
committee is concerned the Navy's current contract vehicle does 
not support the expeditious fielding of NGSSR.
    To ensure stability in fielding this critical warfighting 
system to the fleet, the committee encourages the Secretary of 
the Navy to transition or evolve the program from a 
development-type contract to one that matches the stage of 
program maturity and full-rate production. The committee is 
concerned that if the Navy does not accomplish this, the Navy 
will harm deployment of and urgency of fielding NGSSR to the 
surface fleet by inhibiting acquisition of long lead items; 
impeding stability for subcontractors; creating logistics and 
talent shortages; and delaying installation, training, and 
sparing efforts associated with mature radar systems and 
weapons programs. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of the Navy to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2023, on the status of 
the NGSSR's contract vehicle maturation and its proposed 
fielding plan across the surface fleet.

Rigid Hull Inflatable Vehicles Replacement Vessels

    The committee believes significant investment in Rigid Hull 
Inflatable Vehicles (RHIBs) replacement vessels is essential to 
ensuring adequate maritime logistics and that replacement 
vessels must offer dynamic and flexible options from which to 
project combat power. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of the Navy to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2023, on current plans 
and potential opportunities to improve modernization for RHIBs. 
The briefing should include a description and evaluation of 
current RHIBs and their manufacturing workforce and expected 
future workforce needs, a description of replacement 
requirements, and an analysis of opportunities to expand RHIBs 
construction, development and testing.

                       Procurement, Marine Corps


                       Items of Special Interest


Expediting Marine Corps Air Defense Capabilities

    The committee remains concerned about increased cruise 
missile, artillery, and other rocket attacks on United States' 
personnel, bases, and allies in the Middle East, including 
Israel, Saudi Arabia, and Ukraine. The committee notes the work 
of the United States Marine Corps to rapidly field a Medium 
Range Interceptor Capability (MRIC) to provide expeditionary 
cruise missile defense capability. The committee further notes 
the work by the Marine Corps to expedite and ensure robust 
oversight of both the program and its testing.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Commandant of the 
Marine Corps, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than November 31, 2022, on the cost, 
schedule, and performance of the MRIC program and what steps, 
if any, can be taken to accelerate the program.

United States Marine Corps Procurement of MQ-9 Reaper

    The committee supports the United States Marines Corps 
(USMC) shifting in force design to modernize the mission with a 
special emphasis on the Indo-Pacific. This shift is critical as 
the Marine Corps adapts from inland to littoral operations and 
from combatting a non-state actor to a near-peer competitor. As 
part of this transition, the committee believes the Marine 
Corps will require a family of unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) 
capabilities that can employ both collection and lethal 
payloads. One UAS platform that the Marine Corps will expand 
its operations on is the MQ-9 ``Reaper'' remotely piloted 
aircraft, a platform that has previously been successfully 
operated and procured by the United States Air Force. The 
committee insists that the USMC's procurement of the MQ-9 be 
conducted in the most effective and cost-efficient manner.
    The committee believes that integrating small businesses is 
critical to the industrial base and encourages the Department 
to utilize small businesses to the extent feasible to 
supplement the work of the original equipment manufacturer. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to 
provide a report to the Senate Committee on Armed Services and 
the House Committee on Armed Services not later than April 1, 
2023, on the utilization of the MQ-9 and the procurement 
process being utilized by the USMC. The report should include 
the following information at a minimum:
    (1) specific capabilities provided by the MQ-9 that 
otherwise are unable to be met when utilized in the context of 
a conflict in the Indo-Pacific;
    (2) efforts to integrate small businesses when awarding 
various portions of the procurement for the MQ-9;
    (3) a description of how small business utilization helps 
improve cost efficiency and maximize overall industry 
capability;
    (4) lessons learned from the United States Air Force's 
procurement of the MQ-9 that the USMC is using during its 
procurement of the MQ-9;
    (5) a review of portions of the procurement in which the 
original equipment manufacturer does not provide the most cost-
effective options while still meeting capability requirements;
    (6) an identification of gaps in the industrial base for 
the MQ-9 where small businesses could supplement the work of 
the original equipment manufacturer.

                    Aircraft Procurement, Air Force


                       Items of Special Interest


Electronic support payload for MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aircraft system

    The budget request contained no funds for MQ-9 Unmanned 
Aircraft System Payloads.
    The committee notes elsewhere in this report the need to 
modernize the existing Air Force MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aircraft 
fleet to increase current intelligence, surveillance, and 
reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities for the geographic combatant 
commanders. The committee expects the Air Force to maintain 
focus on modernizing the portion of the current ISR inventory 
that the service plans to fly into the next decade.
    The committee understands that both the Commander, Pacific 
Air Forces and Commander, Air Forces Central have expressed 
interest in deploying a full-spectrum electromagnetic support 
ISR payload in their respective theaters to assist with 
characterization of the electronic battlespace and to enhance 
indications and warning ability. The committee is aware that 
the Air Force has tested and performed an operational 
demonstration of such an electronic support system and achieved 
significant results in detection of radar and communication 
signals and identification of peer adversary threats.
    Given the Air Force's ongoing divestment of ISR capacity 
and the continued high demand for these assets, the committee 
views modernizing the widely proliferated MQ-9 as a low-risk 
approach to meeting global ISR requirements and keeping pace 
with evolving threats. The committee recommends $40.0 million 
in MQ-9 Unmanned Aircraft System Payloads for electronic 
support system payloads and their associated spares and ground 
equipment.

F-22

    The budget request contained an Air Force initiative to 
reduce the total F-22 aircraft fleet inventory size from 186 to 
153 aircraft. The committee notes the Air Force asserts that 
the 33 Block 20 capability-configured F-22 aircraft are not 
combat capable because the aircraft are designated as training-
coded aircraft supporting initial and continuation F-22 pilot 
training operations. On the contrary, the committee believes 
that despite these 33 F-22 aircraft being designated as 
training-coded aircraft, these aircraft could be highly combat 
capable and effective depending upon the adversary threat 
environment, to include highly contested airspace. The 
committee understands that Block 20 F-22 aircraft are unable to 
support the exact same weapons employment capabilities as Block 
30/35 F-22 aircraft, but that Block 20 F-22 aircraft can still 
successfully employ effective air-to-air weapons and existing 
onboard sensors to effectively perform the air superiority 
mission.
    The committee recalls that when the Department of Defense 
truncated the F-22 program to only 187 aircraft circa 2010, the 
Commander, Air Force Air Combat Command informed Congress that 
a fleet of 187 F-22s put the execution of the then-national 
military strategy at high risk in the near- to mid-term, and 
further noted that a fleet of 381 F-22 aircraft could deliver a 
tailored package of air superiority capabilities to combatant 
commanders and would provide a potent, globally arrayed, 
asymmetric deterrent against potential adversaries. The 
committee also noted that the Department of Defense would still 
need to rely upon the approximately 250 F-15C aircraft fleet, 
to complement the 187 F-22 aircraft fleet, to meet air 
superiority mission requirements. Finally, the Air Force also 
concluded, when assessing combat operations options in 2010 
with only maintaining a 187 total F-22 aircraft fleet, that any 
F-22 training-coded aircraft could be used for combat 
operations to effectively meet air superiority warfighting 
requirements.
    Consequently, the committee believes that meeting the 
current national military strategy is significantly more 
challenging than the previous 2010 national military strategy 
given the advancements, complexities, and density of integrated 
air defense threat environments that exist among near-peer 
competitors today. Ultimately, the committee disagrees with the 
Air Force's plan to reduce the F-22 fleet below 186 aircraft, 
especially considering the Air Force is divesting over the next 
few years the entire F-15C fleet, nearly one-half of the F-15E 
fleet, and the Penetrating Counter-Air Aircraft is many years 
away from fielding.
    Therefore, the committee includes a provision elsewhere in 
this title that would require the Secretary of the Air Force to 
maintain a minimum quantity of F-22 aircraft with common air 
superiority mission employment capabilities to meet Department 
of Defense combat air forces training, testing, and operational 
steady-state and major contingency requirements in support of 
geographical combatant commanders' planning and operations.

MQ-9 Reaper modernization

    The committee is concerned that the Air Force is not 
properly prioritizing MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aircraft system 
modernization. The committee notes that the MQ-9 fleet is the 
youngest and lowest cost per flying hour, has the highest 
mission capable rate, and yet is under consideration for 
divestment before the airframe reaches its lifetime flying 
hours. The most recent briefing to the committee indicated that 
the Air Force intends to remove well over half of the existing 
aircraft from the MQ-9 fleet by fiscal year 2027.
    The committee recognizes that a moderate, sustained 
investment in MQ-9 modernization would add mission-relevant 
capability to these aircraft, addressing unmet and urgent needs 
for intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) 
identified by the commanders of the combatant commands. Current 
MQ-9 modernization efforts include the multi-domain operations 
(M2DO) program, designed to incorporate an open mission systems 
architecture (OMS) and increased power capacity, as well as 
advanced sensors, enhanced autonomy, and greater command and 
control resiliency. The committee understands that the budget 
request for $36.7 million funds the OMS and power capacity 
portions of the program for approximately a third of the 
aircraft, but that the follow-on sensors and autonomy 
enhancements are underfunded through the Future Years Defense 
Program (FYDP).
    As there is no formal follow-on acquisition program for the 
MQ-9, adequate modernization funding is critical to ensure MQ-9 
operational capability and viability through the next decade. 
The committee expects the Air Force to fund modernization of 
the existing MQ-9 enterprise, upgrade these aircraft to the 
full M2DO configuration, and deploy them with advanced sensors 
to provide a low-cost alternative for wide area strategic ISR, 
while continuing to evaluate requirements for the next 
generation of unmanned ISR.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to 
submit a report to the congressional defense committees not 
later than December 1, 2022, on implementation of the MQ-9 M2DO 
program, to include the budget and schedule for each portion of 
the M2DO modernization effort through the FYDP.

Report on A-10 Divestment

    The committee notes that the authority to transition the A-
10 unit at Fort Wayne Air National Guard Base, Indiana, to an 
F-16 unit was provided over five years ago in the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (P.L. 114-328). 
The request to transition the same unit in the fiscal year 2023 
budget request does not constitute a full divestment strategy, 
nor does it give the committee confidence that operational 
missions unfilled by the divestment of future A-10 aircraft 
will be effectively recovered. Placing the future A-10 fleet at 
risk in the name of cost savings without regard to operational 
requirements or identification of meeting specific metrics for 
current and future weapon systems is hasty and shortsighted and 
could prove costlier in future budgets as the Air Force 
attempts to quickly reconstitute those lost mission sets.
    The committee notes the Secretary of the Air Force has 
failed to fully comply with the requirement in the Consolidated 
Appropriations Act, 2022 (P.L. 117-103) to submit a report on 
any proposed divestments of the A-10 aircraft during the fiscal 
year 2023 future years defense plan (FYDP). The interim report 
attempts to explain a divestment strategy for a single fiscal 
year, but does not discuss a full FYDP plan, which the 
committee expected to be fully developed given the numerous 
years the Air Force has attempted to divest the A-10 platform.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide to the congressional defense committees no 
later than August 19, 2022, the complete report required in the 
fiscal year 2022, Consolidated Appropriations Act. In addition, 
the Secretary of the Air Force should include in that report a 
detailed plan of how remaining A-10 aircraft in service over 
the next 5 years will be sufficiently modernized to meet 
mission requirements. If a complete report is not submitted by 
August 19, 2022, the committee will take this lack of 
information into account when considering future requests from 
the Department for divestment of A-10 aircraft.

Report on plans for reduction of Air Force fixed-wing advanced training 
        aircraft

    The committee notes the Air Force will be transitioning its 
existing fleet of T-38C pilot training aircraft over the next 
several years to the new T-7 fleet of aircraft which will be 
used for the advanced flight training phase within the 
Specialized Undergraduates Pilot Training formal training 
course of the Air Force. The committee requires more detail to 
understand the underpinning analysis that justifies replacing 
422 T-38C aircraft with just 350 T-7 aircraft.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees by May 15, 2023, regarding the planned reduction of 
advanced training aircraft capacity of the Air Force. The 
report should include:
    (1) the justification and specific analysis for reducing 
the aircraft training capacity from 422 to 350 aircraft;
    (2) an explanation of whether, and to what extent, the 
reduction of training aircraft at a given military installation 
would negatively or positively impact pilot training efforts;
    (3) the impact that a reduction of training aircraft could 
have on pilot training locations involving partner nations 
training alongside members of U.S. Armed Forces and utilizing 
such training aircraft;
    (4) an analysis of the existing T-38C aircraft force 
structure recommended to support current-day pilot training 
activities and requirements;
    (5) the Secretary's justification and analysis for any 
increased operational or training risk that may be incurred by 
reducing the existing quantity of T-38C training aircraft to a 
smaller quantity of T-7 training aircraft for training in the 
future;
    (6) any other information the Secretary considers 
appropriate to adequately explain the planned quantity 
reduction of advanced training aircraft at Air Force pilot 
training locations; and,
    (7) the efforts made to incorporate all parties of the 
Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program into the T-7 
training aircraft program.

Retaining Tail Numbers on United States Air Force and Air National 
        Guard Aircraft

    The committee is aware that the United States Air Force has 
used tail numbers to identify and track individual aircraft 
since 1993. Typically, these tail numbers denote the aircraft's 
home unit, the fiscal year in which the aircraft was ordered, 
and the last three digits of the aircraft's serial number. The 
committee believes that tail numbers are a transparent and 
simple way to track the utilization, age, repairs, and upgrades 
provided to individual aircraft across the Air Force and Air 
National Guard. The committee also believes that tail numbers 
on aircraft should not be removed, modified, or changed once an 
aircraft is fielded. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of the Air Force to provide a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services no later than February 1, 2023, 
regarding the current use of tail numbers on aircraft within 
the Air Force and Air National Guard. The report should analyze 
if tail numbers could successfully be used to determine:
    (1) the assignment and maintenance history of an aircraft;
    (2) if tail numbers are currently changed when aircraft 
switch from Active Component to Reserve Component;
    (3) the Air Force's methodology for determining the average 
age, model number, utilization, and completed repairs and 
upgrades, within each unit in both the Active and Reserve 
components; and
    (4) if there are significant disparities between the 
average age, model number, utilization, and completed repairs 
and upgrades for aircraft within the Active Component versus 
the Reserve Component.

    The committee notes that the Utah Test and Training Range 
(UTTR) is one of a few premier Department of Defense air combat 
training ranges, supporting air-to-air and air-to ground 
training and operational test and evaluation of weapons. The 
committee supports providing realistic training opportunities 
for fourth- and fifth-generation pilots to improve readiness 
levels and weapon systems capabilities, and hone the skills of 
combat air forces training required for deterrence and combat 
activities associated with great power competition.
    The committee is concerned that the Air Force and joint 
forces lack a high-fidelity, X-band surface-to-air missile 
(SAM) threat simulator at the UTTR for aircrews to train 
against. The committee supports Air Force efforts to develop 
these capabilities with new programs but is concerned that this 
future capability may not be available in the near term and 
that the UTTR is not currently prioritized to receive these 
developmental systems. The committee is aware of the capability 
gap that currently exists for Air Force units training within 
the UTTR airspace in that the training range lacks relevant, 
advanced, high-fidelity surface-to-air missile threat emitters 
to train against.
    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, 2023, on efforts to field a 
non-developmental, high-fidelity, full-effective radiated 
power, X-band threat emitter capability that would be suitable 
for aircrew training at the UTTR.

Autonomous cockpit systems on aircraft

    The committee recognizes the strain that pilot shortages 
have placed on the conduct of military operations around the 
world. Aircraft pre-positioning, crew rest, and flight crew 
availability are necessary to ensure mission readiness and 
success. The committee recognizes the significant role 
autonomous capabilities could play in supporting these 
necessary requirements and encourages the Department of Defense 
to consider commercially available solutions to lower cost, 
increase readiness, and reduce risk. The committee is concerned 
that the Department is not maximizing the use of this 
technology to address the readiness shortfalls with reduced 
risk.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of 
the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to 
provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
February 15, 2023, assessing current Department efforts to 
extend flight crew capabilities by adding, or increasing, 
autonomous cockpit systems on aircraft. Additionally, the 
report shall include the following:
    (1) A review of available autonomous capabilities that 
allow aircraft to be pre-positioned into a theater;
    (2) A review of systems that allow for aircraft to be 
safely operated by a reduced flight crew while in theater;
    (3) Any additional relevant efforts that enable autonomous 
cockpit flight capabilities;
    (4) A cost estimate for procuring such capabilities; and
    (5) A draft implementation plan and timeline for procuring 
such capabilities.

C-130 force structure for Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve

    The committee recognizes C-130 as our nation's premier 
tactical airlift aircraft and is the primary transport for 
airdropping troops and equipment into the battlefield. Equipped 
to respond to domestic needs and overseas contingencies, C-130s 
have a broad operational mission set, including airlift 
support, natural disaster relief, civil unrest response, 
aeromedical assistance, and national contingency response 
stemming from a catastrophic cyber, electromagnetic pulse or 
Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear attack. The 
latest-edition C-130J model makes technical and logistical 
advancements to the C-130H that increase usable space in the 
cargo compartment, reduce operating and support costs, boost 
technological capabilities, and other important enhancements 
that improve the overall readiness of the fleet. The committee 
emphasizes that tactical airlift remains a critical operational 
requirement for the Armed Services and modernizing our nation's 
tactical capabilities will be beneficial for decades to come.
    As such, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force, in coordination with the Commander of Air Mobility 
Command, the Director of the Air National Guard, and Chief of 
the Air Force Reserve, to provide a report to the Senate 
Committee on Armed Services and the House Committee on Armed 
Services by January 31, 2023 that studies the benefits of 
outfitting the Air National Guard and the Air Force Reserve 
with a full C-130J model fleet. Further, the Secretary must 
account for domestic mission requirements and whether they are 
being considered when determining where to make investments and 
explain their process of doing so.

Infrared suppression improvements for C-130 and C-17 aircraft

    The committee notes that current infrared (IR) missiles and 
man-portable surface-to-air missile systems (MANPADS) are 
outpacing the existing IR countermeasure flare dispensing and 
directed energy defensive systems associated with military 
aircraft. Given the increase of this threat, the committee 
believes there is merit in providing a wider range of military 
aircraft that are capable of reducing engine IR baselines to 
decrease their IR signature and increase the effectiveness of 
their existing IR countermeasures (IRCM) systems.
    The committee understands that with the installation of a 
highly cost-effective and proven IR suppression system (IRSS), 
special operations AC-130W gunships have successfully decreased 
their IR signatures by at least 95 percent, substantially 
increasing their survivability and exponentially increasing the 
effectiveness of their existing IRCM systems. The committee 
also understands that the affordability of the IRSS provides 
the military services with an opportunity to rapidly and 
affordably employ this technology across a wider range of 
military aircraft to increase warfighter survivability and 
lethality.
    As adversary missile capabilities continue to evolve and 
their proliferation increases globally, the committee believes 
the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and the Air National Guard 
should leverage enhanced IR suppression systems to achieve 
greater heat signature reduction capabilities for its aviation 
fleets. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Air Force, in coordination with the Secretary of the Navy, to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
October 3, 2022, on what planning and programming actions the 
Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and the Air National Guard are 
taking to reduce the IR signatures for each military service's 
C-130s and C-17 aircraft, and identify the resources necessary 
to implement an expanded IRSS installation program for these 
aircraft.

KC-135 ground cooling capability

    The committee understands that the KC-135 aircraft 
routinely operates in environments where internal ground 
temperatures can reach well in excess of one-hundred forty 
degrees Fahrenheit and that it has no organic or self-contained 
roll-on/roll-off ground cooling capability. The KC-135 air 
cycle machine was designed to provide ground cooling, but is at 
times unreliable, and cooling air cannot be provided until the 
aircraft is operating at or above 2,000 feet above ground 
level. The committee understands that aircrew cooling has been 
a long-standing Air National Guard Critical requirement, but 
has yet to receive funding. The committee recommends additional 
funding for the National Guard and Reserve Component Equipment 
Account (NGREA) to meet this requirement. The committee directs 
the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services not later than December 30, 
2022, on the Air Force's plan to upgrade aircrew ground cooling 
on all variants of the KC-135.

KC-135 recapitalization mix

    The Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve provide more 
than half of the Air Force's KC-135 aerial refueling aircraft. 
As the Air Force recapitalizes the KC-135 fleet, the committee 
is concerned regarding the proportional mix of aircraft between 
Air National Guard, Air Force Reserve and Active Duty. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by February 1, 2023, on the planned Active Duty, Air Force 
Reserves, and Air National Guard KC-135 recapitalization plan, 
including the allocation for each component.

Rapid force and cargo insertion

    The committee is encouraged by the Department of Defense 
efforts to develop high-speed vertical take-off and landing 
aircraft. These vehicles offer an unprecedented ability to 
rapidly insert personnel and cargo into future battlefields. 
The committee recognizes that Air Force Special Operations 
Command has identified the development of novel propulsion 
architectures, such as convertible tiltrotor-turbofan engines, 
as a critical near-term goal to keep pace of development for 
these systems. However, the committee acknowledges requirements 
for the technology demonstration of high-speed vertical take-
off and landing propulsion systems remain incomplete.
    The committee directs the Assistant Secretary of the Air 
Force for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by March 30, 
2023 on the development of high-speed vertical take-off and 
landing aircraft. This briefing should include the following:
    (1) requirements under consideration for an initial high 
speed vertical takeoff and landing engine technology 
demonstrator concept;
    (2) a roadmap of development milestones for both propulsion 
and airframe development; and
    (3) identification of funding sources required to meet the 
expressed schedule.

Retirement of E-3 Airborne Warning and Control System aircraft

    While the committee understands and supports the 
requirement to modernize Air Force airborne warning and control 
capability, the committee continues to be concerned about the 
lack of underlying analysis provided to Congress to explain the 
proposed divestment of half the E-3 AWACS fleet in fiscal year 
2023. The committee notes that this lack of supporting analysis 
is an unfortunate hallmark of most of the recent intelligence, 
surveillance, and reconnaissance aircraft inventory divestment 
proposals from the Air Force. Without this information, the 
committee has difficulty assessing the true operational risk 
posed by these aircraft inventory changes.
    The committee expects the Air Force to address the inherent 
capability and capacity gaps in its E-3 replacement plan to the 
maximum extent feasible. Options for prudent acceleration of 
the replacement program should be shared with the committee as 
soon as practicable.

Silver bullet roll on roll off conference and communication module and 
        air transportable galley lavatory equipment

    The committee notes that the current Silver Bullet Roll on 
Roll off Conference and Communication Module and the KC-46A Air 
Transportable Galley Lavatory (ATGL) equipment/systems is not 
fully airworthy and is flying on a waiver. The committee notes 
that the Silver Bullet replacement is in production. Also, the 
committee notes that the Secretary of the Air Force's is 
assessing remedies for the ATGL waiver and overall 
recapitalization efforts of the ATGL. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of the Air Force to prepare a brief to 
the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2023 as to 
the operation and airworthiness of the Silver Bullet Roll on 
Roll off Conference and Communication Module and ATGL equipment 
and systems. The brief shall include the description, 
expiration, and status of any waivers, whether for 
airworthiness, safety, or other, currently used to operate the 
Silver Bullet Roll on Roll off Conference and Communication 
Module and ATGL equipment/systems. The brief shall also include 
the Air Force's plan to modify or replace either the Silver 
Bullet Roll on Roll off Conference and Communication Module or 
ATGL equipment/systems in the future and any effort to remedy 
the requirement to operate under any waivers.

                       Items of Special Interest


Airborne electronic attack aircraft force requirements

    The committee is concerned that Department of the Navy 
plans to divest all expeditionary electronic attack aircraft 
squadrons will create a capability gap in Department of Defense 
ability to effectively execute its electronic warfare mission 
under the National Defense Strategy.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Secretary of the Navy and the 
Secretary of the Air Force, to submit a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services, not later than May 1, 2023, with 
recommendations for the required airborne electronic attack 
aircraft force structure.
    The study should include, at a minimum:
    (1) The airborne electronic attack aircraft force structure 
of the Department of the Navy and the Department of the Air 
Force necessary to meet the requirements of the Department of 
Defense airborne electronic attack aircraft mission under the 
National Defense Strategy, in low, medium, and high risk force 
structure options, including--(A) the total minimum number of 
the airborne electronic attack aircraft; (B) the minimum number 
of primary mission aircraft; (C) the total minimum number of 
airborne electronic warfare aircraft with electronic attack 
capabilities; and (D) the minimum number of primary mission 
airborne electronic warfare aircraft with electronic attack 
capabilities.
    (2) An explanation of how the force structure described 
under (1) supports operations between military services to 
include--(A) description of joint electromagnetic spectrum 
operations; (B) the area of responsibility for services when 
operating in a joint theater; (C) the joint integration concept 
for operational employment of airborne electronic attack 
aircraft operated by the Department of the Navy and the 
Department of the Air Force; and (D) any redundancy in 
capabilities among services.
    (3) A roadmap outlining how the Department of Defense plans 
to reach the force structure described including an established 
goal date for achieving the minimum number of airborne 
electronic attack aircraft.
    The report should be submitted in unclassified form but may 
include a classified annex.

Arctic access and air refueling missions

    The committee understands the growing strategic importance 
of the Arctic region and the long distances military aircraft 
may have to fly to provide support. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services by August 1, 2023, on the 
Arctic and North Atlantic regions for air refueling mission 
capability.

Autonomous air-to-air refueling technology

    The committee notes that the Secretary of the Air Force has 
proposed investments in capabilities to better enable a global 
operating model and modernize key capabilities through the use 
of autonomous air-to-air refueling for manned and unmanned 
platforms. The committee supports innovative investments across 
the manned/unmanned spectrum and supports cost-effective 
options for extending America's combat reach in denied and 
geographically dispersed regions across the globe.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by August 1, 2023, on the efforts to develop 
autonomous air-to-air refueling capabilities. Specifically, the 
brief shall address:
    (1) current efforts to demonstrate new autonomous air-to-
air refueling techniques;
    (2) efforts to scale and adopt new autonomous air-to-air 
refueling techniques across a range of Department of Defense 
airborne platforms (manned and unmanned); and
    (3) use of commercial technologies in modeling new 
autonomous air-to-air refueling capabilities to determine 
effectiveness, future technology development priorities, and 
alternative employment concepts that support increased manned/
unmanned teaming operations and combat reach.

Briefing on Advanced F-35 Launch Intercept Capabilities

    The committee is aware that the F-35 provides unprecedented 
capability, survivability and connectivity in today's complex 
threat environment. Further, the committee notes that the F-35 
aircraft has served as an effective deterrent to Russia in 
Eastern Europe and increases interoperability among the United 
States and North-Atlantic Treaty Organization partners. 
Moreover, the committee notes that adversaries continue 
developing and testing advanced missile launch capabilities 
that threaten the safety and security of the United States, 
U.S. territories, and foreign partners and allies. The 
committee is interested in additional capabilities the F-35 
aircraft may support.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services no later than February 1, 2023, that assesses the 
current ability of the F-35 aircraft to effectively detect, 
engage, and employ existing, or planned, air-to-air intercept 
weapons against an inter-continental ballistic missile threat 
during the initial boost phase of missile launch.

Degraded visual environment systems commonality and cost efficiencies

    The committee recognizes that hazards such as wires, 
vehicles, uncharted terrain, and low-visibility conditions 
caused by smoke, dust, fog, and precipitation may all 
contribute to a degraded visual environment (DVE) for military 
air and ground vehicles. DVE occurs during training and 
operational missions and has led to aircraft damage, aircraft 
loss, and aircrew injuries and fatalities. The committee has 
encouraged and supported efforts by the military services to 
develop and field modernized DVE systems on rotary wing 
aircraft. The committee has previously noted the collaboration 
between the Army and U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) 
in developing and procuring a common DVE solution in order to 
quickly meet a directed requirement as well as field more 
broadly across the USSOCOM helicopter fleet.
    The committee also recognizes ongoing efforts by the Army 
and the Air Force to ensure the emerging fleet of next-
generation rotary wing and ground vehicles, including the Air 
Force's Combat Rescue Helicopter and the Army's Future Attack 
Reconnaissance Aircraft, Future Long Range Assault Aircraft, 
Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle, and Robotic Combat Vehicle, 
as well as the enduring fleet of existing rotary wing and 
ground vehicles, are equipped with DVE capability.
    The committee understands that the key to DVE mitigation 
technology resides in software data fusion and the ability to 
rapidly integrate capabilities through open system 
architectures. Open system, software-based solutions can offer 
cost-savings across the Department of Defense while also 
allowing technology insertions at the speed of relevance in 
order to meet evolving and emerging threats.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not 
later than December 1, 2022, on the utility and potential cost-
savings of coordinating and consolidating the development and 
procurement of DVE software data fusion across the services. 
The report shall include each of the military services' DVE 
sensor fusion integration and fielding timelines for both 
rotary wing and ground vehicle applications and anticipated 
costs across the Future Years Defense Program.

E-6B recapitalization

    The committee is concerned over sustainment and 
modernization challenges for the E-6B fleet balanced against 
the operational tempo required for assured air-to-submarine 
communications. Furthermore, emerging capabilities from 
strategic competitors necessitate the modernization of existing 
onboard nuclear command, control, and communications (NC3) 
systems for execution of Presidential orders in contested 
environments. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of 
the Navy to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by February 1, 2023, that includes the plan for the 
recapitalization program to include initial procurement of 
selected airframes for prototyping and modernization of onboard 
nuclear command and control systems. The recapitalization 
program must provide the earliest possible solution on the 
fastest schedule to prevent further delays and address 
potential capability gaps.

F-35

    The budget request contained $8.08 billion for the 
procurement of 61 F-35 aircraft and associated spares, 
modifications, depot activations, and advanced procurement for 
fiscal year 2023 aircraft for the Air Force, Navy, and Marine 
Corps. The committee notes that this is a decrease of 33 
aircraft from procurement plans provided in the fiscal year 
2022 budget projected for the planned fiscal year 2023 budget 
request. The budget request contained $2.01 billion for 
research and development related to deployability and 
suitability initiatives, Block 4 and Continuous Capability 
Development and Delivery, and Air Force dual-capable aircraft 
efforts. The committee notes that the unfunded priority lists 
for the Air Force, Marine Corps, and Navy contained $1.91 
billion for seven F-35A, three F-35B and three F-35C, and three 
F-35C aircraft, respectively.
    The committee acknowledges the F-35 is a capability that 
has potential to be used against advanced integrated air 
defense systems operating against the United States or its 
foreign partners and allies during high-end, highly contested 
contingency operations after the aircraft eventually receives 
the Technical Refresh-3 (TR-3) hardware and full Block 4 
software capabilities currently forecasted to be fielded in 
fiscal year 2029, which is 3 years later than the 2026 date 
provided by the Department of Defense last year and 28 years 
after the program's inception. The committee notes that 
development efforts for TR-3 hardware are currently $548.0 
million over the original budget and that significant technical 
risk exists with no schedule margin remaining to meet 
production line cut-in planned during July 2023. The committee 
continues to agree with the F-35 Program Executive Officer that 
the current and forecasted high costs of sustainment remain a 
real and existential threat to the program, and the committee 
remains continually frustrated by the program's overly 
aggressive development and production schedules that have yet 
to contain any realism regarding projected cost or timing of 
actual completion.
    The committee remains concerned about the Department's lack 
of sufficient access to accurate and complete F-35 enterprise-
wide technical data, intellectual property, software code, 
expedient engineering disposition turnaround times, as well as 
the Department's significant reliance upon original equipment 
manufacturers supporting development, fielding, and sustainment 
activities for the airframe, propulsion, and mission systems. 
The committee is also awaiting the Department's response on how 
industrial base competition will be introduced and effectively 
integrated across the F-35 development and sustainment 
enterprises for both the airframe and propulsion systems. The 
committee believes that until adequate industrial base 
competition at the prime and major sub-tier contractor levels 
can be established, the Department will continue to face 
challenges holding original equipment manufacturers properly 
accountable for subpar performance of products and services 
provided.

F-35 Joint Program Office Cost-Benefit Analysis

    The committee understands that the F-35 Joint Program 
Office, in consultation with the United States Air Force and 
the Department of the Navy, is conducting a detailed cost-
benefit analysis to evaluate cost, schedule, risk, and 
operational mission capability enhancements that could be 
achieved by modernizing, upgrading, or replacing the existing 
F-35 propulsion system and/or power thermal management system 
for all aircraft variants of the F-35 weapon system. The 
committee notes that the F-35 Joint Program Office plans to 
complete the cost-benefit analysis in August 2022 and then 
subsequently present the results of the analysis to the 
military services and the F-35 Joint Executive Steering Board 
soon thereafter.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Director, F-35 Joint 
Program Office, alongside relevant Department of Defense 
officials, to provide a thorough and detailed briefing to the 
congressional defense committees by September 20, 2022, and not 
later than October 4, 2022, that includes the complete results 
of the aforementioned cost-benefit analysis. The briefing 
should also include how any available and pertinent operational 
analyses performed by the United States Air Force or Department 
of the Navy informed the results of the cost-benefit analysis.

Increased lethality for unmanned aircraft systems

    The committee recognizes that recent events in Europe have 
demonstrated the need for greater lethality, expeditionary 
capability, and precision targeting at the tactical unit level. 
The committee notes that providing smaller units and lower 
echelons greater organic capability to detect and target 
threats and support precision munitions could produce 
significant effects on the modern battlefield.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than January 31, 2023, on current and future planned 
efforts to provide tactical units unmanned aircraft systems 
with designating and marking capability to enable the use of 
precision targeting and munitions.

MV-22 and CV-22 nacelle improvement

    The committee is aware of the unique capabilities of each 
of the V-22 variants flown by the United States Navy, the 
United States Marine Corps (USMC), and the United States Air 
Force. Each variant of V-22 is one of the most in demand 
platforms in its respective service. Due to the high operations 
tempo, reducing down time by improving the nacelles of these 
aircraft significantly increases readiness and provides 
significant cost savings.
    The committee is pleased that the Air Force has accelerated 
its Nacelle Improvement program for its fleet of CV-22 
aircraft, however the committee is concerned that if adequate 
investment is not made in MV-22 Nacelle Improvement, then the 
USMC will incur significantly higher costs for its upgrades and 
potentially extended periods of down time for these highly in 
demand aircraft. To avoid an unnecessary and costly break in 
the program, the committee encourages the Secretary of the 
Navy, in coordination with the Secretary of the Air Force, to 
ensure that the Nacelle Improvement program transitions from 
modifying CV-22 aircraft to MV-22 aircraft without 
interruption.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy, 
in coordination with the Secretary of the Air Force, to provide 
a brief to the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 
2023, that assesses the most cost-effective means of 
implementing the Nacelle Improvement program for the USMC. The 
committee believes this would include performing this work at 
the original equipment manufacturer final assembly facility and 
beginning before the Air Force completes their modification 
program. Such brief shall assess cost savings and overall 
downtime impact to the fleet

National Guard and Reserve Equipment Account

    The budget request contained no funds for a National Guard 
and Reserve Equipment Account. The committee has long been 
concerned about the availability of modern equipment needed to 
ensure the relevance and readiness of the National Guard and 
Reserve Components as an operational reserve and for their 
domestic support missions. The committee notes that the annual 
National Guard and Reserve Equipment Reports over the last 
several years identify continuing shortages in modernized 
equipment and challenges associated with efficiently fulfilling 
combat readiness training requirements.
    The committee believes additional funds would help manage 
strategic risk and eliminate identified critical dual-use 
equipment shortfalls. The committee expects these funds to be 
used for the purposes of, but not limited to, the procurement 
and modernization of equipment and programs such as 
communications interoperability for Weapons of Mass Destruction 
Civil Support Teams; containerized ice making systems; Mobile 
Tower System Airfield Lighting Systems; Security Forces Modular 
Ballistic Protection System; Security Forces Climate Clothing 
System; Tactical Combat Casualty Care Medical Kit; Cargo and 
Utility Vehicle Fleet Modernization; Rapid Response Shelters; 
Disaster Relief Mobile Kitchen Trailers; Less than Lethal 
Equipment Modernization; Critical Care Air Transport Team Kit; 
All Hazards Response Trailer Modernization; Hard Sided 
Expandable Small Air Mobile Shelter; and other critical dual-
use unfunded procurement items for the National Guard and 
Reserve Components.
    The committee recommends $50.0 million for National Guard 
and Reserve equipment.

Report on Air Force counter-maritime strategy

    The committee notes the important work the Department of 
the Air Force is doing to advance its ability to strike 
maritime targets, to include pursuit of the Joint Air-to-
Surface Standoff Missile, and test and integration activities 
to expand the compatibility of the Long-Range Anti-Ship 
Missile. However, the committee is concerned that these efforts 
are moving too slowly, and that wide gaps remain in the 
Department's operational concepts, plans, programs, 
capabilities and capacity for detecting and defeating adversary 
maritime surface and subsurface forces from air and space at a 
scale that would be expected in an Indo-Pacific conflict. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force, in coordination with the Secretary of the Navy and the 
Secretary of the Army, to prepare a report to the congressional 
defense committees by March 1, 2023 as to the strategy and 
implementation plan for conducting counter-maritime operations.
    The report shall include:
    (1) operational concepts, plans, programs and key enabling 
technologies for detecting, tracking and defeating a range of 
adversary maritime vessels, including while underway;
    (2) how the Air Force command and control enterprise will 
support long-range standoff fires for maritime engagements, to 
include proficient use of data link and joint range extension 
networks required for dynamic weapons employment;
    (3) how the air battle management system will incorporate 
sensing data for maritime targets;
    (4) how the bomber fleet, and specifically the B-21 program 
of record, accounts for the capacity required for a counter-
maritime role in addition to other mission sets, and if not, 
provide an updated fleet size;
    (5) what steps the Air Force will take and what resources 
are required to establish an inventory in such quantities of 
appropriate munitions that achieve desired effects in counter-
maritime operations;
    (6) what capability is needed to engage targets beyond the 
range of a Joint Direct Attack Munition and inside the range of 
a Joint Air to Surface Stand-off Missile in a cost effective 
way and an estimate of the funds necessary to accrue the 
capability in required quantities;
    (7) considerations and modifications required for various 
platforms to carry munitions for maritime engagement;
    (8) what steps the Air Force is taking to ensure its 
training methods and simulators prepare warfighters for the 
counter-maritime mission set alongside the Joint force;
    (9) an explanation of how the Air Force intends to 
integrate and leverage Department of the Navy capabilities and 
technologies in its detection, targeting and engagement 
methods; and
    (10) an overall assessment of funding to include projected 
shortfalls and alternative near-term funding opportunities in 
order to rapidly develop, test and field counter-maritime 
capabilities from now and over the next five years.

Supersonic capabilities

    Given that Russia and China and already investing in 
supersonics, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services no 
later than March 1, 2023 to include an analysis to identify 
potential use cases for transport supersonic aircraft for each 
branch of the military and strategies for incorporating the 
technology into development and potential acquisition roadmaps.

           Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Army


                       Items of Special Interest


Acquisition strategy for autonomous ground vehicles

    The committee notes the Army's efforts with development of 
autonomous and optionally manned ground systems and recognizes 
that they have the potential to increase efficiency, reduce 
workload, reduce risk, and support the lethality of ground 
forces. Given the level of effort the Army has made with 
various classes of autonomous or optionally manned vehicles, 
the committee would like a better understanding of the Army's 
plans, if any, to transition from developmental projects to 
acquisition programs.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary 
of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology to 
provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than January 30, 2023, on the Army's development and 
acquisition strategy for autonomous ground vehicles, including 
the planned systems for acquisition, projected timeline, 
quality and safety metrics, and identification and assessment 
of any viable commercially available systems.

AH-64 Apache modernization plan

    The budget contained $10.0 million in PE 0607145A for the 
Apache Future Development program. The committee is aware that 
the AH-64 Apache will continue to serve as the Army's principal 
attack helicopter until the year 2050 and beyond. The committee 
notes that, while the Army intends to purchase the final AH-64E 
aircraft in fiscal year 2025, the service has no comprehensive, 
budgeted plan to modernize the aircraft over the next 30 years. 
Since initial fielding of the AH-64A, the Army has executed 
effective and affordable Apache modernization through 
systematic remanufacturing of the aircraft every 12-15 years. 
The committee is concerned about the lack of a future 
modernization strategy for Apache.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than December 1, 2022, on a plan to ensure AH-64 
Apache relevancy for the remainder of its service life. The 
briefing should include, at a minimum, major capability 
requirements necessary to meet the objectives of the most 
recent National Defense Strategy and the estimated costs and 
schedule associated with these requirements.
    The committee also recommends $35.0 million in PE 0607145A, 
an increase of $25.0 million, for the Apache Future Development 
program to conduct engineering analysis and address near-term 
modernization needs to ensure the Apache remains operationally 
dominant through 2050.

Autonomous robotic targets for small arms range training

    The committee recognizes that live-fire training that is 
both safe and as realistic as possible is fundamental and 
critically important to soldier and unit readiness. The 
committee notes that the Army has an ongoing development 
program intended to deliver an autonomous robotic target system 
that meets training requirements and is affordable. The 
committee also notes that there are commercial alternatives 
being utilized by other military services. For example, the 
Marine Corps' ``training-as-a-service'' model of autonomous 
robotic targets is being used to improve marksmanship, tactical 
decision-making, and individual and squad engagement 
proficiency. The committee is interested to know the Army's 
current requirements and plans for autonomous robotic targets 
under the Future Army Systems Integrated Targets--Trackless 
Moving Targets program and how it accounts for advancements in 
individual and group robot autonomy attributable to artificial 
intelligence as well as the rapid technological improvements 
that occur each year in this field.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of 
the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology to provide 
a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives not later than February 1, 2023, 
on the following:
    (1) requirements and plans for the development and 
acquisition of autonomous robotic targets for small arms 
training;
    (2) the availability and associated costs of Government-
developed and commercially available live-fire autonomous 
robotic targets;
    (3) user feedback, if available, from soldiers that are 
provided an opportunity to assess such targets in live-fire 
training;
    (4) the Army's existing autonomous robotic target 
performance requirements;
    (5) an analysis of the cost of Government and commercial 
alternatives, including but not limited to procurement, 
sustainment, and necessary range facility support costs; and
    (6) potential range modernization cost-savings and cost 
avoidance, if any, that can be achieved by the adoption of 
autonomous robotic targets.

Briefing on increasing Department of Defense access to commercial 
        technologies

    The committee understands that innovative commercial 
technologies are increasingly compatible in applications for 
national defense. The committee also believes that the 
successful development of innovative commercial technologies to 
meet the needs of the military services is facilitated by the 
early involvement of the Department of Defense in commercial 
development. Entities such as the Defense Innovation Unit 
connect military users with innovative commercial companies and 
utilize flexible contracting authorities to rapidly prototype 
then produce hardware and software solutions. However, delays 
to enter production contracts after successfully completing 
prototype contracts are common and challenge potential new 
entrants to the defense industrial base. To improve contracting 
results when dealing with innovative dual use technologies, the 
connection between military services and these commercial 
companies must be strengthened.
    The committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Research and Engineering and each of the Service Acquisition 
Executives to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services by March 31, 2023, on efforts underway to 
develop a strategy to accelerate access to commercial 
technologies. The briefing shall include a discussion of:
    (1) efforts by the Department to establish a primary access 
point for various areas of emerging technology and 
consideration of whether those points should be at the program 
level or elsewhere,
    (2) ways to incentivize those primary points of access by 
establishing authority for a percentage of cost savings 
achieved through commercial contracting to accrue to the 
program or entity, and
    (3) a comparison of the cost to the Program Executive 
Officer of a Major Defense Acquisition Program to either 
collaborate with an entity serving as a primary access point to 
understand and gain access to commercial companies or to 
establish a position for a portfolio innovation director who 
understands key technologies as well as Department processes 
and can connect with the Department's innovation community.

Briefing on Legacy Ground Vehicle Autonomous Systems Upgrades

    The committee supports the Army's interest and investment 
in artificial intelligence and autonomous operating 
capabilities associated with the development of next generation 
combat and tactical vehicles. However, the committee is also 
interested in the Army's assessment of the feasibility, cost, 
and potential benefits of integrating autonomous operating 
capability into its current combat and tactical vehicle fleets. 
Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services no 
later than March 1, 2023, on its assessment of the feasibility, 
suitability, and advisability of developing and fielding 
upgrades for current combat and tactical vehicle fleets that 
would allow them to operate autonomously both effectively and 
safely. The briefing shall include at a minimum:
    (1) a review of current combat and tactical vehicles, their 
expected fleet service life, their eligibility for autonomous 
system upgrades, and any future plans and schedules to replace 
these vehicles with next generation ground vehicles;
    (2) a cost estimate for developing, producing, and fielding 
autonomous system upgrades for each eligible fleet of current 
combat and tactical vehicles;
    (3) the current and planned autonomous systems upgrades, if 
any, to combat and tactical vehicles; and
    (4) an estimated schedule to develop, produce, and field 
autonomous systems upgrades for each fleet of combat and 
tactical ground vehicles.

Carbon fiber and graphite foam applications for combat and tactical 
        vehicles

    In the committee report accompanying the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (H. Rept. 117-118), the 
committee again noted that the U.S. Army Ground Vehicle Systems 
Center (GVSC) and U.S. Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) 
were conducting developmental research on carbon fiber 
composite wheels and graphitic carbon foam in support of the 
Army's and the special operations forces' combat and tactical 
vehicle programs. The committee took the opportunity in H. 
Rept. 117-118 to note further that the GVSC and USSOCOM may be 
interested in a wider application of graphitic composite and 
graphitic carbon foam components in support of the Army's Next 
Generation Combat Vehicle and for other vehicle technology 
purposes. In accordance with the committee's direction last 
year, the Army submitted a report in February 2022, in which it 
noted that its ongoing outreach efforts have resulted in 
collaboration with 32 industry partners with shared interest or 
efforts related to graphitic foam applications and 
manufacturing.
    Given the committee's attention to this technology over the 
years and its enduring interest in the testing and 
demonstration of the potential of graphite composite and 
graphitic carbon foam vehicle components, the committee directs 
the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, 
and Technology, in coordination with the Commander, U.S. 
Special Operations Command, to submit a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than December 23, 2022, 
on the results of government and commercial industry 
development and testing and the practical application or 
fielding of graphite composite and graphitic carbon foam 
components for existing or developmental combat or tactical 
vehicles.

Common Tactical Truck acquisition strategy

    The committee notes the Army's Heavy Tactical Vehicle (HTV) 
fleet has reached its design maturity with significant 
obsolescence and repair parts challenges. The committee also 
understands that the Army has initiated the Common Tactical 
Truck (CTT) program utilizing a middle tier acquisition rapid 
prototype pathway with awards of other transaction agreements 
for prototypes planned for December 2022. The Army's intent 
appears to focus on modular truck prototypes that maximize use 
of current commercial heavy truck capabilities and commonality. 
The committee is interested in this effort as prototypes using 
commercial heavy truck capability could optimize available and 
emerging commercial-off-the-shelf technologies such as advanced 
driver assistance systems, digital design, improved fuel 
economy, predictive maintenance, diagnostics, and prognostics 
technologies. The committee is also interested to learn if this 
approach will set conditions for lower development cost and 
later procurement costs at commercial economies of scale.
    The committee supports this accelerated effort given the 
apparent risk with current fleets, the criticality of logistics 
capability in large scale combat operations, as well as 
providing for increased competition and innovation in the 
tactical wheeled vehicle industrial base. The committee notes 
with concern, however, that the budget request included only 
$16.3 million for CTT prototype builds and ongoing research and 
development. This amount suggests the Army is willing to trade 
off the opportunity presented by commercial industry's interest 
to develop and field a 21st century heavy truck fleet to 
support Army and other defense logistics requirements now and 
into the future.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Army to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than December 23, 2022, that details the 
Army's acquisition strategy to include:
    (1) required characteristics such as mission roles, 
commonality, leader-follower or autonomy ready, force 
protection and survivability, and demand reduction;
    (2) planned schedule to include use of soldier touch 
points;
    (3) contracting strategy;
    (4) modified test and evaluation plan that takes into 
account commercial-off-the-shelf technology;
    (5) funding profile across the Future Years Defense 
Program; and
    (6) issues for consideration and plans related to 
transitioning the program from prototype to production.

Counter UAS Technology Research

    The Committee supports the Army's investment in advanced 
technologies to mitigate threats from Unmanned Aircraft Systems 
(UAS), especially as these threats emerge and mature rapidly. 
The Committee encourages the Army Research Lab to partner with 
academic institutions and private industry to further develop 
commercially available counter UAS technology.
    The Committee directs the Commander of U.S. Army Futures 
Command to provide a briefing to the House Armed Services 
Committee no later than December 31, 2022 on opportunities to 
partner with academia and industry in counter-UAS research.

Directed Energy Maneuverable Short-Range Air Defense

    The U.S. Army Rapid Capabilities and Critical Technologies 
Office (RCCTO) is prototyping capabilities that address the 
need for protection against group one, two, and three unmanned 
aerial systems (UAS). Included in this effort is development of 
a directed energy system to protect maneuvering forces from 
rocket, artillery, and mortar (RAM), as well as rotary and UAS 
threats. The Committee is aware of the recent testing with the 
Directed Energy Maneuverable Short-Range Air Defense (DE M-
SHORAD) prototype, including the successful defeat of threat 
UAS and mortar rounds. The Committee urges the Army to continue 
its testing and delivery of system prototypes in order to 
provide an effective and cost-efficient counter-UAS and 
counter-RAM capability. Accordingly, the Committee directs the 
Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and 
Technology to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services no later than February 1, 2023, on an 
acquisition strategy for DE M-SHORAD. The briefing shall 
include the following:
    (1) the strategy, including development, testing, and 
production schedule and funding profile, for transition of DE 
M-SHORAD to a Program of Record;
    (2) plans for the integration of directed energy counter-
UAS and RAM systems into the Integrated Battle Command Systems 
networking and command and control system for target detection, 
identification, targeting, and engagement of threats; and
    (3) the potential applicability and interest, if any, in 
acquiring defensive directed energy counter UAS and RAM 
capabilities among other Department of Defense military 
departments and agencies.

Extended Range Cannon Artillery Program

    The committee is aware of and supports the Army's programs 
oriented on the rapid development and fielding of long-range 
surface-to-surface precision fires, both missile and cannon 
artillery, to meet current and anticipated requirements for 
successful operations against potential peer and near-peer 
adversaries. The committee understands the Army's development 
efforts include an Extended Range Cannon Artillery (ERCA) 
system that would nearly double the range of its current M109A7 
Paladin self-propelled howitzer and notes that last year an 
ERCA test prototype successfully demonstrated a firing range in 
excess of 60 kilometers. However, the Government Accountability 
Office's (GAO) 2022 Weapons Systems Annual Assessment notes 
that ERCA was experiencing challenges with technical maturity, 
schedule delay, and that program cost estimation has not been 
formalized. The committee further understands that the Army's 
current program plans call for an open competition acquisition 
strategy for the ERCA system when ready for full rate 
production.
    Given that GAO reported potential cost, performance, and 
schedule risk, the committee requires an update on the ERCA 
program's status and plans. Accordingly, the committee directs 
the Secretary of the Army to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2023 on the 
ERCA program's research, development, and testing progress and 
plans. The briefing required shall include:
    (1) an updated and consolidated list and funding profile 
through 2028 for the research, development, test, evaluation 
(RDTE), and procurement appropriation accounts that support the 
ERCA program;
    (2) the Technology Readiness Level (TRL) of each research 
and development effort and the schedule at which those efforts 
will progress from current levels to the readiness level 
required for a production decision;
    (3) the funding profile necessary to accomplish the 
required qualification test of the new gun, breech, 
propellants, and projectiles to meet documented requirements;
    (4) the status of and plans for achieving required safety 
certifications for fielding of the ERCA system; and
    (5) a total cost estimate and plan to complete development 
and operational testing and for the full rate production of the 
ERCA system.
    The committee further directs the Secretary of the Army to 
submit a report not later than April 1, 2023, to the Senate 
Committee on Armed Services and the House Committee on Armed 
Services detailing the business case analysis for the ERCA 
acquisition strategy with production and fielding plans.

Future Long Range Assault Aircraft medical evacuation

    The committee supports the Army's Future Long Range Assault 
Aircraft (FLRAA) program of record to augment medium-lift 
capability for the Army. The committee understands that FLRAA 
will be designed to increase the operational reach and 
effectiveness of Army aviation against any future near-peer 
adversaries. The committee notes that FLRAA will play a key 
role in medical evacuation from the battlefield. Timely medical 
response and preservation of life will continue to be 
imperative to military readiness and will depend on modern 
medical evacuation aircraft. The committee encourages the Army 
to ensure medical evacuation requirements are incorporated into 
the final FLRAA design.

Future Vertical Lift digital twin technology

    The committee supports the Department of Defense's 
adaptation of digital twin technologies for use in platform and 
system development. The committee is aware that the Army's 
Future Vertical Lift program, specifically the Future Long 
Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) helicopter, has embraced the use 
of digital modeling and simulation as one method to assist in 
rapid prototyping. The Army's most recent briefing to this 
committee indicated that the FLRAA program views the virtual 
prototypes currently in development as a step toward eventual 
use of a digital twin after the Mid-Tier Authority (MTA) 
Engineering and Manufacturing Development (EMD) weapon system 
design contract is awarded at the end of fiscal year 2022. The 
committee notes that use of a digital twin of the FVL digital 
backbone technology would permit rapid prototyping and 
simulation of advanced networking technologies in a virtual 
space, facilitating faster modernization while reducing testing 
timelines, acquisition risk, and sustainment costs. The 
committee encourages the FVL program to consider incorporation 
of digital twin technologies as is feasible throughout the 
program.

High-temperature composites

    The budget request contained $43.0 million in PE 0602147A 
for Long Range Precision Fires Technology. The committee notes 
the importance of developing resilient supply chains across a 
number of relevant critical defense applications, including for 
high-temperature composites. The committee is aware of efforts 
by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) to strengthen the 
domestic production capacity for raw materials used in high-
temperature composites and encourages such efforts as a means 
to reduce our dependency on foreign sources for materials 
crucial to hypersonic weapon development. Therefore, the 
committee recommends an increase of $5.0 million in PE 0602147A 
for carbon-carbon high temperature composites.

Integrated floor system upgrades for H-60 variants

    The committee notes that the UH-60 Black Hawk is the U.S. 
Army's primary medium lift helicopter, estimated to remain in 
the Army fleet for at least 25 more years. The committee 
understands that the Utility Helicopter Program Office (UHPO) 
has acquired a limited number of Medical Interior Upgrades 
(MIU) palletized floor overlays for the HH-60M Medical 
Evacuation variant that addresses capability gaps and design 
deficiencies of the current floor, but that also adds 
significant weight to the aircraft, particularly when 
configured with armor. The committee is aware that the UHPO is 
working with industry to develop the technology for a Seat 
Track Integrated Replaceable/Upgradable Protection System 
(STIRUPS) to replace the current three-floor system (the Black 
Hawk floor, armor, and the medical palletized floor) with a 
single integrated system which will reduce the cost of aircraft 
modification and integration, reduce the weight of the 
aircraft, and extend the service life of the aircraft. The 
committee recognizes that an integrated floor could provide 
benefits for other variants of the H-60 and encourages the Army 
to consider adoption of such a system across the fleet.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary 
of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics and Technology to 
provide a briefing to the House Armed Services Committee by 
March 1, 2023, on the seat track integrated replaceable/
upgradeable protection system and the next generation of 
Medical Interior Upgrades for H-60 Black Hawk helicopters, to 
include an assessment of the functionality and maturity of the 
program, the estimated weight reductions, costs to produce, 
field, and integrate the system, and the schedule for fielding 
the system to all components.

Material Development for Personal Protection Systems

    The committee recognizes the importance of developing 
enhanced technologies such as lightweight armors, protective 
structures, kinetic energy active protection, ballistic shock 
protection, and helmet technologies to meet the current threats 
posed by adversaries. The committee understands that utilizing 
computational modeling and simulation allows for greater cost 
savings to the Department of Defense. Methods such as 
computational research allow for the development of models that 
predict the mechanical response of materials that are used in 
research and development at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Commander, U.S. Army 
Futures Command, to provide a briefing to the House Committee 
on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2023, that identifies 
efforts to collaborate with academic partners and to utilize 
computational modeling to develop new soldier protection 
materials that are lighter and stronger than current materials 
while providing greater protection.

Microbolometer supply chain assessment

    The committee is aware of the importance of long-wave 
infrared microbolometers in providing high-resolution thermal 
camera imaging capabilities to the warfighter. The committee 
notes recent investments by foreign competitors in advanced 
microbolometer technologies, and the importance of maintaining 
a competitive edge in the technology in order to ensure 
warfighter advantage in no- and low-light conditions. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
January 31, 2023, providing the Department of the Army's 
current strategy for microbolometer research, development, and 
production. This briefing should also include an assessment of 
the existing domestic microbolometer supply chain.

Modeling and simulation for Army Combat Capabilities Development 
        Command

    The committee recognizes the importance of modeling and 
simulation (M&S) in support of research and development of Army 
combat and tactical vehicles and believes the Army Combat 
Capabilities Development Command should take maximum advantage 
of such capabilities. The committee notes that commercial 
industries typically allocate M&S resources in the early stages 
of vehicle development and well before they start to fabricate 
prototypes and begin production. Given the Army's commitment to 
rapidly develop, test, produce, and field technology it should 
do so with as clear an understanding of the potential 
operational characteristics and capability of such technology 
as possible. This, in turn, should reduce the cost and time 
necessary for physical prototyping in the early phases of 
development.
    Therefore, the committee encourages the development and, 
where appropriate, adoption of modern M&S tools for combat and 
tactical vehicles, relevant system integration labs, and an 
integrated collaborative research and development environment 
that supports rigorous M&S to inform technology analysis and 
refinement of requirements for vehicles and their subsystems.

Palletized High Energy Laser capability to counter advanced unmanned 
        aerial systems

    The committee is encouraged with the U.S. Army's Rapid 
Capability and Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) efforts to 
develop a platform-agnostic Palletized High Energy Laser (PHEL) 
capability to meet counter-unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) 
mission requirements. The committee recognizes the importance 
of C-UAS capability across all domains and recommends that 
RCCTO continue to test, develop, and field a PHEL system to 
counter our adversaries' unmanned aerial systems threats and 
significantly decrease risk to our warfighters as soon as 
possible.

Report on Improved Turbine Engine Program

    The committee continues to support the Improved Turbine 
Engine Program (ITEP). ITEP is designed to provide a more fuel 
efficient and powerful engine to enhance the performance and 
operational readiness of the current Black Hawk and Apache 
helicopter fleets and power the new Future Attack 
Reconnaissance Aircraft. The committee notes that ensuring a 
stable supply chain for ITEP should be a priority. Accordingly, 
the committee directs the Secretary of the Army to submit a 
report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives not later than April 1, 2023, 
analyzing the supply chain for ITEP. The report shall include, 
at a minimum:
    (1) An outline of the ITEP supply chain as of the date of 
the report;
    (2) Identification of each engine component under the 
program that is manufactured in the United States and that is 
manufactured at an international location and imported into the 
United States;
    (3) An assessment of how the COVID-19 pandemic affected the 
ITEP supply chain;
    (4) Identification of potential defense supply chain 
vulnerabilities through analysis of the scope of foreign 
control over critical military supply chains;
    (5) Courses of action that may be implemented to minimize 
vulnerabilities in the supply chain resulting from foreign 
control of critical defense materials and to restore domestic 
control over critical defense materials and improve security 
relating to such materials; and
    (6) Other information as the Secretary deems appropriate.

Strategy for fielding high power microwave systems to counter small 
        unmanned aerial systems

    The committee is encouraged by the Army's Directed Energy 
efforts, particularly those related to the Indirect Fire 
Protection Capability-High Power Microwave (IFPC-HPM) program. 
The committee understands the Army's Rapid Capabilities and 
Critical Technologies Office (RCCTO) and the Joint Counter 
small Unmanned Aerial Systems Office (JCO) tested multiple HPM 
systems against swarming small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS) 
threats at Yuma Proving Ground in April 2022 with mixed 
success. The threat posed by swarming sUAS grows alongside the 
need to improve system dependability and defensive networking 
capabilities. The committee encourages the Army to ensure full 
consideration of HPM systems as part of a layered defense for 
protection of fixed and semi-fixed sites. The committee further 
encourages the Army to include requirements for scalability and 
modularity in development of such systems.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
no later than February 1, 2023, on a strategy to develop and 
test scalable, modular High Power Microwave systems that can be 
integrated into the Army's air defense battle command system, 
as well as detect, track, identify, engage, and defeat sUAS 
swarms. The briefing should also include plans, if any, to 
produce and field this capability to equip forward deployed or 
expeditionary units.

Stryker autonomy

    The committee has noted elsewhere in this report the Army's 
efforts with the development of autonomous and optionally 
manned combat and tactical vehicles. The committee's interest 
in vehicle autonomy is not only limited to the development of 
future combat and tactical vehicles but also to currently 
fielded systems that are projected to remain in the force for 
the foreseeable future.
    The Stryker Family of Armored Vehicles is one such system 
that is continuously undergoing upgrades and modifications to 
improve lethality and survivability. Given the Army's 
commitment to the Stryker vehicle and its apparent adaptability 
to a variety of tactical functions, the committee considers 
this system a likely candidate for research, development, 
testing, and operational experimentation with installed 
autonomous and advanced operator assistance systems.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary 
of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 15, 2023, on the advisability, feasibility, 
and estimated cost of establishing a program to conduct 
research, development, prototyping, testing, and operational 
experimentation with autonomous, optionally manned, or advanced 
operator assistance systems on Stryker vehicles. In assessing 
the establishment of a program to develop the Stryker vehicle 
as an autonomous capability, the briefing shall include an 
outline of performance objectives and a plan for testing and 
experimentation in a variety of relevant operational scenarios 
and conditions. The briefing shall also include an estimated 
schedule and funding profile based on the performance 
objectives and test plans.

Survivability and Protection Upgrades for Tactical Wheeled Vehicles

    The committee recognizes the need for the Army to establish 
and maintain a tactical wheeled vehicle fleet that is ready and 
safe for combat operations. Tactical wheeled vehicles are 
commonly used by maneuver and supporting units in combat zones 
for the transportation of troops, equipment, and supplies. The 
committee notes that tactical wheeled vehicles transporting 
troops should be equipped with additional protection, including 
armor, based on the threat and operating environment. Such 
protection should be tailored subject to the capability and 
required performance of the vehicle to carry any additional 
load, and modular for configuration in expeditionary kits for 
relatively rapid installation or removal in the field by 
operators. Therefore, the committee directs the Assistant 
Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and 
Technology to submit a briefing not later than April 1, 2023, 
to the House Committee on Armed Services on its current 
capabilities and plans to develop, test, produce, and field 
additional modular and expeditionary protection or armor for 
each of its tactical wheeled vehicle fleets.

Tactical vehicle electrification field operations pilot program

    The committee understands the Army approved the tactical 
and combat vehicle electrification (TaCV-E) initial 
capabilities document (ICD) in December 2021, that informs the 
transition to advancing electrification capabilities and 
operational requirements generation for the ground vehicle 
fleets. The committee is interested if electrification in the 
near term is achievable for tactical ground vehicles given the 
evident operational benefits associated with reduced vehicle 
thermal and noise signature, increased dash speed, and 
reduction in liquid fuel requirements. The committee 
understands rapid prototyping of and experimentation with TaCV-
E could accelerate the military services' understanding of 
tactical vehicle electrification in field operations, inform 
analysis and planning, and manage potential issues associated 
with Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and 
Education, Personnel, Facilities and Policy.
    Given the significant level of commercial investment in 
vehicle electrification by the automotive industry, the 
committee believes there is considerable and apparent value for 
the Army in entering into a cooperative research and 
development agreement (CRADA) with interested industry partners 
and initiating a tactical vehicle electrification pilot program 
at one of the combat training centers, such as the National 
Training Center at Fort Irwin, California. Such a CRADA could 
accelerate understanding of the potential and challenges of 
field operations and inform continued research and development 
of the TaCV-E. Such a pilot program, if implemented and 
supported, would allow tactical units to train on, experiment 
with, and demonstrate integrated electrification capabilities 
such as electric vehicles, and experiment with robust, 
resilient, mobile fleet charging systems and exportable power 
generation during operational training exercises.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Army to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than January 15, 2023, on the advisability, 
feasibility, and estimated cost of conducting a tactical 
vehicle electrification pilot program through a CRADA-like 
structure with industry to experiment, demonstrate, and capture 
lessons learned from mature vehicle electrification 
technologies and associated integrated infrastructure.

Ultra-Compact Hyperspectral Imaging System

    The committee is concerned with the Department of Defense's 
ability to detect, identify, and warn against chemical attacks 
and to track activities linked to the deployment of weapons of 
mass destruction by state and non-state actors. The committee 
notes that the Ultra-Compact Hyperspectral Imaging System 
(UCHIS) may have the potential to provide the necessary 
discrimination required to detect, identify, and defeat 
existing and future adversaries. UCHIS could potentially 
provide real-time data regarding chemical detection and 
identification adding significant capabilities in remote/
standoff Measurement and Signature Intelligence, including 
chemical and biological intelligence, and spectroscopic 
intelligence.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than March 1, 2023, on the incorporation of UCHIS 
capabilities in Army modernization efforts and how the 
Secretary plans to develop these critical capabilities. The 
briefing should include: (1) total program cost, including 
program costs across the Future Years Defense Program; and (2) 
overall development timetable.

           Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Navy


                       Items of Special Interest


Advanced Combustion Collaboration

    The Committee is encouraged by the US Naval Research 
Laboratory's continued study and development of rotating 
detonation combustion technologies. This advanced form of 
combustion offers significant advantages in both fuel 
efficiency and system size compared with current gas turbine 
architectures. The Committee is also aware that the Department 
of Energy is currently undertaking activities to integrate a 
rotating detonation combustor with an existing Navy inventory 
T63 powerplant.
    The Committee directs the US Naval Research Laboratory to 
collaborate with the Department of Energy, along with academic 
and industry participants, to inform the integration and 
demonstration of this system to optimize dual-use applicability 
of the resulting system for both civilian and defense 
applications. This effort should be accompanied by an 
assessment of Navy systems that could utilize a 500kw generator 
of this type--to include ship power, expeditionary power, 
directed energy systems and high Mach devices. The Committee 
directs the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, 
Development to brief the House Committee on Armed Services by 
June 30, 2023 on the results of this assessment and plans to 
integrate rotating detonation technology more broadly into Navy 
systems.

Anti-submarine warfare with multi-day attritable Group III Unmanned 
        Aerial Systems

    The committee is encouraged with the Navy's use of Unmanned 
Aerial Systems (UAS) during Integrated Battle Problem 2021, 
including ultra-endurance Group III and Medium Altitude Long 
Endurance (MALE) Maritime Group V UAS to address the limitation 
of existing manned platforms for anti-submarine warfare 
detection. These capabilities will play a key role in 
deterrence and ensuring the rights of sovereign countries at 
sea. The committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 
2023, on the use of ultra-endurance Group III and MALE Group V 
UAS in anti- submarine warfare. The briefing should include:
    (1) Total program development cost;
    (2) Program costs included in the fiscal year; and
    (3) Overall development and employment schedule to address 
critical anti-submarine warfare surveillance capabilities.

Distributed Aperture Infrared Countermeasure System

    The budget request contained $15.0 million in PE 0604272N 
for the Tactical Aircraft Directable Infrared Countermeasure 
program. The committee recognizes the Department of the Navy's 
progress in developing and fielding the Distributed Aperture 
Infrared Countermeasure System (DAIRCM) for aviation 
survivability. In the committee reports accompanying both the 
William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2021 (H. Rept. 116-442) and the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (H. Rept. 117-
118), the committee expressed support for the effort to field 
DAIRCM under Joint Urgent Operational Need Statement (JUONS) 
SO-0010 to Navy MH-60, Marine Corps UH-1Y and AH-1Z, and Air 
Force HH-60G helicopters. The committee understands that DAIRCM 
fielding under the JUONS will be completed during fiscal year 
2023.
    The committee acknowledges that the Navy, Marine Corps, and 
Air Force all view DAIRCM as part of their long-term strategy 
for sustainable, cyber-secure aviation survivability against 
future battlefield threats and that the funding requested in 
fiscal year 2023 supports development of the program of record. 
Both the Marine Corps and the Air Force expect to make 
production decisions on procuring additional DAIRCM capability 
mid-decade. The committee recommends continued focus on 
enhanced rotary aircraft survivability and expects to see 
future budget requests that support timely fielding of DAIRCM 
to Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force helicopters. The committee 
recommends $45.0 million, an increase of $30.0 million, in PE 
0604272N for the Tactical Aircraft Directable Infrared 
Countermeasure program.

Domestic Carbon Fiber Source for U.S. Navy Sixth Generation Fighter

    The committee is concerned if any defense contractors are 
relying on carbon fiber from companies that conduct their 
material research and development activities and manage their 
intellectual property in countries outside of the United States 
of America for the Department of the Navy's plan to develop the 
F/A-XX sixth generation fighter.
    This issue is critical to examine since the defense 
contractors bidding for this program may be currently making 
decisions on carbon fiber material that could be difficult to 
exchange at a future point in time. It is imperative to U.S. 
national security interests that the F/A-XX is not reliant upon 
a single foreign-controlled company that could potentially add 
uncertainty and instability to the security of the supply chain 
for this critical material.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to submit a 
report to the congressional defense committees by June 1, 2023, 
on the Navy's F/A-XX to identify if any defense contractors are 
relying upon carbon fiber from companies that conduct their 
material research and development activities and manage their 
intellectual property in countries outside of the United 
States. The report should include a plan to develop, promote, 
and fund qualification projects for domestic alternatives to 
carbon fiber-based products using carbon fiber from companies 
that conduct their material research and development activities 
and manage their intellectual property outside the United 
States. The report should be submitted in unclassified format, 
but may contain a classified annex.

Marine Corps autonomous underwater vehicle capabilities

    The committee recognizes the critical role that autonomous 
underwater vehicles (AUVs) will play in maintaining U.S. 
strategic advantage in the undersea domain, particularly in the 
U.S. Indo-Pacific Command area of responsibility, and welcomes 
the recent direction of the Commandant of the Marine Corps to 
integrate AUVs as part of the service's modernization efforts. 
The committee supports the Marine Corps' efforts to evaluate 
and procure long-range, multi-mission AUVs with flexible 
payload interfaces as a critical Marine Corps capability that 
will deliver a significant warfighting advantage in the 
undersea domain. As the Marine Corps continues to incorporate 
AUVs into its inventory and operational concepts, the committee 
supports efforts to ensure these vehicles are multi-mission 
capable, including intelligence, surveillance, and 
reconnaissance (ISR), logistical resupply, and kinetic effect 
mission sets. These capabilities will support operational and 
strategic-level missions including anti-surface warfare, seabed 
warfare, intelligence preparation of the battlefield, 
reconnaissance and counter reconnaissance, ISR and targeting, 
and cross-domain intelligence.
    The committee encourages the Secretary of the Navy and the 
Commandant of the Marine Corps, in coordination with the Chief 
of Naval Operations, to continue to develop capabilities 
utilizing AUVs as enablers in the undersea domain in support of 
the Naval Force. Further, the committee directs the Secretary 
of the Navy, in coordination with the Commandant of the Marine 
Corps, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by February 1, 2023, detailing the Marine Corps' plans 
to integrate autonomous underwater vehicles into Marine Corps 
concept of operations development, its current and planned test 
and evaluation schedule for AUVs, and its resourcing, 
development, and deployment plan over the Future Years Defense 
Program.

Next Generation Jammer high band expansion

    The committee continues to support expanding the capability 
of the Department of the Navy's Next Generation Jammer (NGJ) 
airborne electronic attack program to counter the high band 
electronic warfare threat. The committee is aware that the 
Navy's airborne electronic attack community views a high band 
capability as a top modernization priority and that the 
existing tactical jammer on the EA-18 Growler is not equipped 
to meet evolving threats. The committee concurs with this 
assessment and recognizes the need for an upgraded high band 
jamming capability for the Navy's EA-18 Growler.
    In its response to the committee report accompanying the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (H. 
Rept. 117-118), the Navy outlined three potential courses of 
action to address the high band threat and acknowledged that 
extending the frequency range of the current mid-band array 
represented the fastest path to an operational high band 
capability.
    The committee notes that the NGJ Mid-Band program includes 
a cooperative agreement with a partner country, which has 
already contributed funding to the mid-band development effort. 
The committee is aware of interest on the part of the 
cooperative partner to begin investing in high band capability 
through a mid-band frequency extension effort. The mid-band 
frequency expansion course of action could provide a two-fold 
benefit: enhanced airborne electronic attack capability for the 
EA-18 Growler community and an opportunity for further 
technology collaboration.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than December 15, 2022, on the status of U.S. Navy-partner 
collaboration on NGJ, to include options for cooperative 
investment in an expanded frequency mid-band capability 
beginning in fiscal year 2024 and an assessment of any other 
resources or authorizations required to pursue this course of 
action.

Next-generation expeditionary and reconnaissance watercraft

    The committee notes that the U.S. Marine Corps has 
identified gaps and requirements for a reconnaissance 
battalions' need for reconnaissance and insertion craft. The 
committee supports the Commandant's efforts and U.S. Marine 
Corps operations envisioned in current concepts. Littoral 
maneuver from the sea will entail surveillance, collections, 
target acquisition, battlespace shaping and reconnaissance. The 
committee further supports a platform with reduced signature 
from adversary sensors to enhance survivability and efficacy. 
The committee believes the Secretary of the Navy should rapidly 
assess and acquire multi-modal insertion maritime platforms for 
operating across a distributed battlefield. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by November 
1, 2022, as to the requirements associated with this effort to 
include crewed and un-crewed options and the plan of action to 
deliver this capability.

Persistent, ultra-long endurance airborne intelligence, surveillance, 
        and reconnaissance

    The committee is concerned that combatant commanders have a 
critical requirement for persistent airborne intelligence, 
surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) in active conflict and 
low-intensity, highly dispersed regions that is not being met 
by existing systems. The committee is aware that the Office of 
Naval Research is developing an operational ultra-long 
endurance unmanned ISR aircraft with the aim of providing an 
affordable, persistent capability with significantly increased 
payload capacity compared to existing systems.
    The committee is also aware that Naval Aviation Systems 
Command, the transition partner for the Autonomous Maritime 
Patrol Aircraft (AMPA) Joint Capability Technology 
Demonstration (JCTD), is interested in transitioning the AMPA 
asset to U.S. Navy ownership in order to enhance mission-
specific development, testing and eventual fielding. The 
committee supports this decision.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than March 1, 2023, on the Navy's efforts to develop 
persistent, ultra-long endurance, attritable Group III ISR 
systems. The briefing should include how such systems would 
address evolving and emerging threats and the associated budget 
and schedule with developing and fielding such capability.

         Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Air Force


                       Items of Special Interest


Accelerating progress on Department of Defense autonomous collaborative 
        platforms

    The committee notes recent announcements by the Secretary 
of the Air Force acknowledging the requirement for affordable 
unmanned aircraft to team with and augment the current and 
future piloted aviation force. The committee understands that 
an option to achieve affordable capacity against peer 
adversaries for current aircraft fleets is to leverage cutting-
edge manufacturing techniques, artificial intelligence, 
autonomy, and revolutionary-low cost mission systems enabling 
the capability, range, and survivability affordable enough to 
acquire platforms in sufficient ratios.
    The committee is concerned with the current pace of efforts 
and the cost goals recently announced by the Secretary. Various 
low-cost autonomous programs have been undertaken across the 
entire Department of Defense enterprise for the last 8 years 
with some progress but no fieldable capability to date. 
Additionally, it is unclear there is a prioritized list of 
mission areas where autonomous platforms would operate and as 
such there exists a lack of focused effort to develop and 
acquire relevant systems. Finally, it remains unclear that the 
affordability goal of the Secretary of the Air Force would ever 
achieve the required ratios given current and future resource 
projections.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force, in coordination with the Secretary of the Navy and the 
Secretary of the Army, to provide a report to the congressional 
defense committees by February 15, 2023. The report should 
include required timelines to achieve a fieldable and relevant 
autonomous system. The report should also detail:
    (1) research and development objectives and resources 
required to achieve objections;
    (2) all-up round cost objectives;
    (3) required capability, survivability, and mission areas 
where the platform would be employed; and
    (4) operational concepts of operations and future growth 
potentials by the other military services outlining where 
synergies of effort could occur.
    The report should be unclassified but may include a 
classified portion or annexes.

Adversary Air Cost Reducing Technologies

    The committee is concerned that the emulation of highly 
advanced adversary aircraft currently requires the usage of 
organically owned fifth-generation aircraft to serve the role 
of aggressor during aerial combat training, due to the limited 
capabilities of existing commercial adversary air platforms to 
replicate the advanced threat adversary. Given the limited 
quantity of advanced fifth-generation fighter aircraft fielded 
by the Department of Defense, this strategy incurs high 
operating expenses and opportunity costs. Seeking a more 
sustainable long-term training solution for U.S. combat air 
forces aircraft, the committee is encouraged by the development 
of advanced unmanned emulator aircraft through the Air Force 
Research Laboratory BANDIT program. The low operating cost and 
open architecture of these aircraft could allow the Department 
to modify systems at unprecedented pace, enabling better threat 
replication.
    In parallel to the BANDIT program aircraft development, the 
committee acknowledges the Air Force Research Laboratory is 
developing enhanced propulsion capabilities for advanced 
unmanned combat systems under the Attritable Cost-Optimized 
Limited-Life Engine Technology (ACOLLET) Program. Recognizing 
the potential benefits these propulsion advances offer to the 
adversary air emulation mission, the committee directs the 
Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Science, 
Technology, and Engineering to provide a report, that includes 
a roadmap, to the House and Senate Committees on Armed Services 
by June 30, 2023, outlining the steps to integrate ACOLLET 
propulsion capabilities into BANDIT aircraft. This roadmap 
should be accompanied by a broader explanation on the status of 
the BANDIT program, including analysis comparing estimated 
adversary air mission cost per flight-hour operating costs 
between the F-35A and applicable BANDIT program aircraft. The 
briefing should also detail plans to incorporate unmanned 
adversary emulator aircraft into training ranges with Air 
Combat Command threat matrix framework level four capability.

All-domain multi-sensor and multi-intelligence data fusion

    The budget request contained $13.1 million in PE 0305022F 
for the ISR Modernization and Automation Development program. 
The committee recognizes the need to develop and deploy all-
domain multi-sensor data fusion and integration capabilities to 
improve the quality and timeliness of intelligence, 
surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) systems and their 
associated processing and dissemination. The committee is aware 
that commercial software analytics have the potential to inform 
the intelligence cycle with increased speed and accuracy. 
Potential benefits from commercial data fusion could include 
multi-sensor data analytics at machine-speed using Synthetic 
Aperture Radar (SAR), light detection and ranging (LiDAR), and 
electro-optical (EO) and radio frequency (RF), to increase 
confidence in analysis and decision-making, as well as 
processing and exploitation supported by machine learning and 
automation, to uncover patterns of life activities across 
intelligence reporting.
    The committee supports the Air Force's efforts to increase 
automation in ISR analysis with the goals of reducing the 
burden on human analysts while increasing the relevance of the 
intelligence provided. 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 1, 2023, on 
the utilization of these data fusion tools, the acquisition 
strategy for procuring them, and how a software-as-a-service 
model might be implemented to acquire these capabilities.
    The committee also recommends $23.1 million, an increase of 
$10.0 million, in PE 0305022F for the ISR Modernization and 
Automation Development program to support all-domain multi-
sensor and multi-intelligence data fusion.

Briefing on Department of the Air Force software factories

    The committee recognizes that Air Force software factories 
have made significant contributions to the Department of the 
Air Force's modernization efforts, particularly as software 
becomes an increasingly critical component of a modern and 
adaptable force. The committee notes that the Air Force's 16 
software factories are in geographically diverse locations, 
which allows them unique access to Department of Defense 
installations and private sector and university innovators. 
Moreover, this enables the Air Force to leverage a diverse 
group of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics 
talent.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than January 1, 2023, on the Air Force's 
plan for the structure of the Air Force software factories.

High Mach Aircraft Technology Development

    The committee recalls over the last two years the committee 
has required the Office of the Secretary of Defense to report 
on potential missions and capability gaps to be filled by a 
reusable high-Mach airspeed aircraft and to release a roadmap 
for such development. The committee notes these reports 
provided significant data illustrating potential applications 
to critical intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, 
space launch, and strike missions, particularly in exclusion 
areas in the Indo-Pacific theater of operations.
    The committee supports the recommended development 
timetables and encourages continued investment to achieve 
prototype delivery goals in 2030. However, the committee is 
concerned by the lack of corresponding funding for propulsion 
and thermal management, which are necessary to inform 
capability attributes and requirements. Investing in propulsion 
with integrated thermal management solutions is necessary to 
optimize size, weight, and performance as well as cope with the 
extreme temperature volatility and variations these systems 
will be required to operationally endure in flight. The 
committee notes a recent ground-based test recently conducted 
in industry and in conjunction with the Defense Advanced 
Research Project Agency and the Air Force Research Laboratory 
successfully demonstrating operations at temperatures and 
pressures analogous to hypersonic conditions, validating the 
ability to design, manufacture and operate a flight-
representative heat exchanger and thermal management system 
that could enable air breathing flight at full-threat 
hypersonic conditions and temperatures of approximately 1800 
degrees Fahrenheit. The committee encourages this research to 
continue.
    The committee expects the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Research and Engineering to engage with industry to initiate 
the requirements development process for a large scale, runway 
launched, aircraft capable of Mach five or greater airspeed 
flight, with an objective of entering prototyping competition 
for aircraft of this nature by 2024. The committee encourages 
utilization of discretionary funds in fiscal year 2023 to 
support development activities for critical subsystems, 
including propulsion and integrated thermal management 
solutions, as well as inclusion within a unique budget program 
element in future budget submissions. The committee directs the 
Undersecretary to provide a report to the congressional defense 
committees by May 1, 2023, on the status of budgeting for 
future development, as well as, requirements development and 
key technology activities determined necessary to meet 
timetables described in the previously submitted hypersonic 
flight roadmap. The report should be submitted in unclassified 
format, but may contain a classified annex.

Sensor open systems architecture

    The budget request contained $55.0 million in PE 0305206F 
for the Airborne Reconnaissance Program, including $0.8 million 
for the sensor open system architecture project.
    The committee notes that despite consistent congressional 
direction encouraging the pursuit of sensor open systems 
architecture (SOSA) hardware and software standards, the Air 
Force continues to invest in proprietary, closed system 
software development that limits competition to traditional 
defense contractors, increases costs to the service, and runs 
counter to the stated objectives of both the Air Force's 
Advanced Battle Management System and the Department of 
Defense's Joint All Domain Command and Control framework. The 
committee has supported the Department's adoption of modular 
open systems architecture and the accompanying open systems 
standards initiatives to foster better interoperability and 
easier, more affordable modernization across a range of 
capabilities. SOSA aims to develop common standards and 
interfaces for radar, electro-optical/infrared, electronic 
warfare, signals intelligence, and communications systems in 
support of Air Force airborne reconnaissance platforms and 
capabilities. The committee recognizes the ongoing necessity of 
timely, modern, and affordable intelligence, reconnaissance, 
and surveillance and the importance of moving away from closed, 
contractor-proprietary sensors to achieve these goals.
    The committee further notes that in the response to the 
committee report accompanying the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (H. Rept. 117-118), the 
Secretary of the Air Force stated that some aspects of the SOSA 
technical standard are not distributable outside of U.S. 
channels and are therefore not releasable to NATO partners or 
non-traditional defense contractors. The committee directs the 
Secretary of the Air Force to provide a report to the 
congressional defense committees not later than December 16, 
2022, on which aspects of the standard are not releasable and 
an explanation of the restricted access.
    Further, the committee recommends $75.0 million, an 
increase of $20.0 million, in PE 0305206F for the Airborne 
Reconnaissance Program, specifically for the sensor open 
systems architecture project.

Special mission airborne signals intelligence enterprise technology

    The budget request contained $108.5 million in PE 0304260F 
for the Airborne SIGINT Enterprise, including $7.9 million for 
the special programs project. The committee is aware of the 
successful performance of government-designed signal collection 
systems used across multiple platforms for gathering airborne 
signal intelligence information. The committee understands that 
elements of the Air Force and U.S. Special Operations Command 
depend on such technologies to quickly assess threats and give 
operational commanders options for operational decisions.
    The committee is aware that certain combatant commands 
identified the need for this technology in a Joint Emergent 
Operational Needs Statement and that the requirement remains in 
effect. The committee encourages the Air Force to ensure that 
these technologies can be developed and deployed in adequate 
quantities to reduce risk to military personnel and increase 
timely dissemination of decision information to relevant 
commanders. Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of 
the Air Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than December 1, 2022, on the status 
of these programs.
    The committee also recommends $115.5 million, an increase 
of $7.0 million, in PE 0304260F for the Airborne SIGINT 
Enterprise, specifically for the special programs project.

U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research

    The committee recognizes that the Air Force Office of 
Scientific Research (AFOSR) manages the Air Force's basic 
research programs, which provide the foundation for future 
technological development and warfighting systems while 
supporting crucial university research initiatives. The 
committee commends the work of the AFOSR and notes the critical 
role it plays in contributing to the pool of knowledge for 
future warfighting capacity. The committee encourages the 
Department of the Air Force to robustly fund this program in 
future budget submissions.

       Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Defense-Wide


                       Items of Special Interest


Additive Manufacturing

    The committee supports efforts within the Department to 
study and develop additive manufacturing and identify 
opportunities for large scale deployment. The committee 
believes that additive manufacturing has the potential to 
address existing supply chain and material challenges, and it 
may enhance expeditionary capabilities across operational 
environments.
    Therefore the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense Research and Engineering to brief the House Committee 
on Armed Services no later than December 31, 2022 on deploying 
large scale additive manufacturing. The briefing, at minimum, 
should address potential benefits of forward-deployed 
capabilities; technology readiness, including potential to 
address metal or metallic alloy forging and casting needs for 
the Department of Defense; and actions needed to support the 
industrial base.

Autonomous and dual-use small unmanned aircraft systems

    The committee continues to support Department of Defense 
efforts to increase domestic commercial small unmanned aircraft 
system (sUAS) production capability. Section 848 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public 
Law 116-92) and the Defense Innovation Unit's Blue UAS program 
are advancing that objective, but given the rapid pace of UAS 
technology development, the committee believes the Department 
should continue to update and refine its standards to deploy 
state-of-the-art technology for the warfighter. The committee 
notes that prioritizing proven dual-use sUAS and successful 
incorporation of artificial intelligence could help achieve 
this goal. The committee further understands that dual-use 
products have the potential to offer lower costs, higher levels 
of reliability, faster iteration cycles, and larger levels of 
scale.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by March 31, 2023, that addresses the following matters related 
to sUAS:
    (1) The Department's plan over the Future Years Defense 
Program to field sUAS at the unit level with the most advanced 
levels of artificial intelligence and autonomy technology, 
including comprehensive, 360-degree obstacle avoidance, subject 
tracking, and autonomous navigation and flight;
    (2) The Department's plan to maximize the acquisition and 
employment of domestic dual-use sUAS and bolster the domestic 
sUAS supply chain; and
    (3) Any other matters the Secretary deems relevant.

Battery tracking and standardization

    The committee is aware that batteries are essential to a 
number of activities and responsibilities of the Department of 
Defense. The committee is also aware that many battery types 
are dependent upon overseas manufacturing, critical minerals 
with vulnerable supply chains, or both. The committee is 
therefore concerned by some of the findings in the Report on 
Battery Supply Chain provided by the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Acquisition and Sustainment in January 2022.
    The committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Research and Engineering, in coordination with the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, to 
assess:
    (1) the feasibility and desirability of creating and 
maintaining a centralized repository to track and coordinate 
mission critical batteries across the Department of Defense; 
and
    (2) the feasibility of standardizing mission critical 
battery types, chemistries, and form factors.
    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 December 31, 2022, 
detailing the results of this review and the implementation 
plans for any recommended actions contained therein.

Biotechnology industrial base strategic assessment

    The committee recognizes the importance of creating a 
robust biotechnology industrial base. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and 
Engineering to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than February 1, 2023, on its efforts to 
assess the current biotechnology industrial base in the United 
States. The report should include an assessment of:
    (1) military materials and goods that could be produced 
using biotechnology;
    (2) the current and near-term biotechnology base capacity 
in the United States;
    (3) gaps in the biotechnology industrial base, such as 
domestic manufacturing capabilities, supply chains, energy 
consumption, and workforce skills;
    (4) risks to the biotechnology industrial base, including 
risks that may result in the elimination of, or failure to 
develop domestically, the needed biotechnology capabilities;
    (5) actions the Department of Defense plans to take to 
address gaps and risks identified in the biotechnology 
industrial base; and
    (6) recommendations for legislative, regulatory, and policy 
changes needed to strengthen the biotechnology industrial base.

Blast exposure monitoring for special operations

    The committee notes that U.S. Special Operations Command 
(USSOCOM) is working to identify blast overpressure exposure 
that occurs with heavy weapons systems use, breaching, and in 
dynamic combat and training environments. USSOCOM's knowledge 
of the effects of blast exposure is limited by a lack of 
objective blast exposure monitoring (BEMO). USSOCOM's goal is 
to optimize warfighter brain health and performance to maximize 
joint force superiority and lethality in all operating 
environments. The committee understands USSOCOM is currently 
developing the BEMO sensor and is nearing completion of phase 
II of testing and will soon begin phase III testing. The 
committee believes the development of sensors that measure 
blast overpressure exposure are critical to the safety and 
welfare of service members and recommends USSOCOM complete 
testing and begin fielding the BEMO sensor as rapidly as 
possible. The committee directs the Commander, USSOCOM to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than 180 days after the completion of testing on the 
results of testing and whether the BEMO sensors are ready for 
fielding.

Briefing on Department of Defense 5G test beds

    The committee notes the importance of the Department of 
Defense's efforts to advance 5G and Future G technology. The 
committee, however, is concerned about the significant 
reduction in funding in the President's fiscal year 2023 budget 
request for these efforts and the status of the Department's 
implementation of section 224 of the William M. (Mac) 
Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2021 (Public Law 116-283).
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than January 1, 2023, on the status of the 
Department's efforts to implement section 224 of Public Law 
116-283.

Collaboration on positioning, navigation, and timing research

    The committee recognizes the need for assured positioning, 
navigation, and timing (PNT) capabilities in the event that the 
Global Positioning System (GPS) is denied or disrupted. The 
committee understands that maintaining an advantage with PNT 
capabilities requires the Department of Defense to collaborate 
with industry, academia, and other government entities on PNT.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than February 1, 2023, on the Department's 
collaboration with industry and academia on PNT research and 
development. The briefing should include:
    (1) how the Department currently collaborates with 
industry, and if there are any opportunities for further 
collaboration; and
    (2) what current capabilities exist within colleges and 
universities for PNT research, including the ability to conduct 
classified research, and how the Department can support 
academia to develop a future workforce with the technical 
skills needed to advance PNT capabilities.
    The committee also directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Serviced not 
later than February 1, 2023, on the Nationwide Integration of 
Time Resiliency for Operations (NITRO) effort. Specifically, 
the report should address:
    (1) the mission need, if any, for a timing system 
independent of GPS to support domestic National Guard 
operations;
    (2) current capability gaps identified in domestic timing 
infrastructure;
    (3) an analysis of alternatives on systems to fill those 
gaps, including NITRO;
    (4) estimated funding requirements and timelines for 
implementing a solution that includes considerations for the 
end-user equipment required, and eventual sustainment of the 
system; and
    (5) how the Department is collaborating with other Federal, 
State, or local entities on the effort.

DARPA Graduate Student Funding

    The committee recognizes that U.S. defense depends on the 
Department and the country having a vibrant, cutting-edge 
scientific and engineering enterprise. That, in turn, requires 
having a well-trained, innovative workforce that is regularly 
refreshed with diverse new talent. DARPA-funded research has 
many strengths, but DARPA projects are generally not well 
aligned with academic timelines with respect to graduate 
student funding. The committee believes that familiarizing 
graduate students with DARPA's unique approach to technology 
innovation will strengthen their talent pipeline.
    The high-risk nature of DARPA work often requires failing 
programs to be terminated abruptly, which puts graduate student 
education at risk. DARPA has informal processes to support 
continued graduate student funding until alternate sources can 
be secured by the home university, but these are not legally 
binding and put students at significant risk, particularly when 
there are unexpected close out costs associated with a given 
program. DARPA's contracts office has a history of innovation 
in contracting, and there appear to be opportunities to codify 
student funding in contracts or grants, consistent with federal 
acquisition regulations, and thus stabilize student funding and 
minimize the burden on individual students.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Director of DARPA to 
study and report to the House Committee on Armed Services on 
options for stabilizing graduate student funding against 
termination of DARPA projects. The report should identify 
current efforts to do this, proposals to provide formal 
(contractual) obligation of partial funding for student support 
upon termination of a project, and any barriers to execution of 
these proposals. It should make clear whether any additional 
authorities would be needed and cost estimates. DARPA shall 
provide the report to the committee no later than February 1, 
2023.

Defense Biosecurity Molecular Cryptography Research

    The committee recognizes the importance of biosecurity and 
the potential threats posed by the proliferation of advanced 
gene editing technologies by state and nonstate actors. As 
biotechnology capabilities have become more democratized and 
globally accessible, the strategic importance of securing 
servicemembers genetic data has become more critical. The 
committee notes the continued importance of investing in 
research and development to mature technologies that provide 
protection of sensitive genetic information, including the 
utilization of Small Business Innovation Research contracts to 
engage small businesses and nontraditional defense contractors 
for leading edge commercial technologies. The committee is 
aware of ongoing research that applies novel cryptography 
directly to DNA molecules, significantly enhancing the 
protection provided for genetic information, reducing the risk 
of incidental data breaches, supply chain vulnerabilities, and 
malicious cyber actors. The committee directs the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering to provide a 
briefing by March 1, 2023 to the House Armed Services Committee 
on biosecurity molecular cryptography research within the 
Department.

Defense Innovation Unit support to joint efforts

    The budget request included $42.9 million in PE 0603342D8Z 
for the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU). The committee notes the 
important mission of DIU, as well as the existing stresses on 
personnel, structures, offices, and resources. The committee 
believes that, in light of strategic competition and 
increasingly distributed emerging technology expertise 
globally, it is crucial that DIU be resourced at a level 
sufficient to engage with allies and partners in the 
development of an allied security innovation base. Therefore, 
the committee recommends an increase of $10.0 million in PE 
0603342D8Z for joint programs.

Department of Defense Live Virtual Constructive Training capabilities

    The committee continues to support Department of Defense 
efforts to field a joint, interoperable, and secure blended 
Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC)-capable training system 
architecture and infrastructure. The committee acknowledges 
that without proper and sufficient training, future 
capabilities and efforts to ensure readiness will be less 
effective. While the committee believes LVC can be a cost-
effective, realistic, and secure approach to eliminating 
training gaps for multi-domain combined operations, the 
committee is concerned about the developmental systems being 
currently fielded by the Department of Defense to meet LVC 
training requirements and is further concerned about the delays 
in fielding LVC capabilities and the adverse impacts these 
delays have on training to meet required readiness metrics.
    The committee notes that current LVC systems lack the 
capability to display synthetic visual targets that are 
fundamental to aerial combat. The committee previously 
supported airborne augmented reality (AAR) technology currently 
under evaluation by the Air Force Research Laboratory, Air 
Combat Command, and Air Education and Training Command under 
the Small Business Innovative Research program. The committee 
encourages further development of AAR systems and expects all 
Air Force and Navy LVC training systems to include a capability 
to display realistic, all-aspect synthetic targets at distances 
within and beyond visual ranges.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, in coordination with 
the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Force Education 
and Training, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than March 15, 2023, on the Department 
of Defense's overall plan to field joint, interoperable, 
blended LVC training environments. The briefing should include:
    (1) a description of LVC training requirements of the Air 
Force and the Navy;
    (2) an overview of all current LVC systems being developed, 
evaluated, tested, or fielded by the Air Force and the Navy and 
the results of any recent evaluations or testing activities of 
such systems;
    (3) the current schedule associated with each LVC system 
and how each system is performing to cost and schedule;
    (4) an assessment of the ability for each system to support 
existing, new production, and future aircraft;
    (5) budget estimates for each system;
    (6) current encryption capabilities for each system and the 
date each system is expected to meet required encryption 
capabilities;
    (7) current security accreditation status of each system;
    (8) an assessment of each system's open architecture design 
and current use of U.S. government-owned waveforms;
    (9) an assessment of each system's current and future 
capability to provide blended LVC training environments and 
support small-scale service training events, up to and 
including, large-scale coalition force employment exercises; 
and
    (10) how the Department of Defense plans to establish, 
maintain and ensure compliance with joint interoperable blended 
LVC standards and protocols, independent assessment criteria, 
and certification of service-blended LVC solutions to ensure 
joint and coalition interoperable training environments are 
responsive and authentic to the training requirements needed to 
succeed in a peer high-end fight.

Department of Defense S&T Workforce

    The committee believes the expansion of undergraduate and 
post-graduate scientific research participant appointments 
within the Department Science and Technology (S&T) ecosystem is 
foundational for the future of the Department.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Research and Engineering to report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services no later than December 31, 2022, an 
assessment of the resources, budget, needs and opportunities to 
expand S&T research participant appointments. The report should 
include initial strategies, opportunities, and approaches to 
such appointments, including outlining how existing Strategic 
Partnership Programs with other departments can be utilized to 
achieve this goal.

Department of Defense support for community colleges

    The budget request contained $132.3 million in PE 
0601120D8Z for the National Defense Education Program (NDEP). 
The committee recognizes the critical role community colleges 
play in the defense innovation ecosystem.
    The committee encourages the Department of Defense to 
continue to expand efforts to leverage these vital sources of 
innovation and talent. Therefore, the committee recommends 
$137.2 million, an increase of $5.0 million, in PE 0601120D8Z 
for the NDEP.

Department of Defense support for science, technology, engineering, and 
        mathematics talent development

    The budget request contained $132.3 million in PE 
0601120D8Z for the National Defense Education Program (NDEP). 
The committee believes that to ensure military and 
technological advantage, the Department of Defense must foster 
and attract the world's best science, technology, engineering, 
and mathematics talent. To do this, the Department must 
continue to robustly invest in programs that identify and 
attract a diverse group of people to the defense and national 
security workforce, particularly through National Defense 
Education Programs. For this reason, the committee recommends 
$152.3 million, an increase of $20.0 million, in PE 0601120D8Z 
for the Science, Mathematics, and Research for Transformation 
program.

Developing an Intellectual Property Strategy and Advancing the 
        Innovation Ecosystem

    The committee is aware of efforts by adversarial states to 
advance technology-based innovation as a key driver for their 
geopolitical power. The committee is therefore concerned that 
failure to foster a strong and resilient domestic innovation 
base could jeopardize our military technological superiority 
and our economic competitiveness. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
Under Secretary for Research and Engineering, to provide a 
report to the Committees on Armed Services not later than March 
1, 2023 outlining an intellectual property strategy for the 
Department of Defense. The report should include:
    (1) means to promote a robust innovation ecosystem, to 
include talent management; research infrastructure; joint 
experimentation; and inter-service, intra-governmental, and 
public-private collaboration;
    (2) a description of additional means to protect 
intellectual property;
    (3) an examination of the utility of intellectual property 
as a tool for strategic competition, cost imposition, and 
counter-malign activity;
    (4) recommendations for changes to statute, regulations, or 
policies that would support the achievement of the goals set 
forth elsewhere in the report;
    (5) an examination of the ability of modified approaches to 
intellectual property to address near-term, mid-term, and long-
term capability gaps, with an emphasis on spurring innovation 
and mitigating the gap between the research and development of 
and the procurement and fielding of emerging capabilities and 
technologies; and
    (6) an assessment of the ability of military education 
institutions and science and technology reinvention 
laboratories to encourage innovation and raise awareness of 
intellectual property related matters.
    The committee further directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide an interim briefing to the committee not later than 
December 23, 2022 providing a status update on the creation of 
the strategy outlined above.

Directed energy technologies

    The committee is aware of recent testing at White Sands 
Missile Range that successfully demonstrated a directed energy 
system with continual shot availability and low technical 
downtime. The committee notes the relevance of this capability 
to a number of threats raised by geographic combatant 
commanders, including unmanned systems, rockets, artillery, 
mortars, and missiles, and the importance of continued research 
and development into deeper magazines and higher power levels 
with reduced size and weight.
    The committee encourages the Department of Defense to 
support research and development into high duty cycle 
technologies for directed energy systems. 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 December 30, 2022, on how 
recently developed technologies and capabilities for high duty 
cycle directed energy systems, including those supported 
through private sector internal research and development funds, 
compare with currently planned technologies. The briefing shall 
also address existing technical or organizational barriers that 
may prevent integration of more capable subsystems into current 
or planned systems.

Evaluating advances in secure communication technologies

    The committee recognizes the need to take advantage of 
technologies that might strengthen secure communications for 
the United States military. As the management of the radio 
frequency portion of the electromagnetic spectrum becomes more 
complex, the committee notes the importance of the Department 
of Defense investigating alternative methods of communication. 
The committee encourages the Department to evaluate the utility 
of light fidelity technologies to improve the security of the 
Department's communications and achieve other related 
efficiencies. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services no later than March 1, 2023, on how the Department of 
Defense is considering the potential benefits of light fidelity 
technology.

Feasibility study of forward deployed biomanufacturing

    The committee acknowledges advances in biomanufacturing 
technologies, which has the potential to save costs and add 
resiliency to supply chains.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than May 1, 2023, on the operational feasibility of 
forward deployed biomanufacturing capabilities in contested 
areas. The report should include:
    (1) an assessment of deploying forward biomanufacturing 
capabilities, including operational scalability and 
sustainability;
    (2) an identification of chemicals and materials that would 
be most needed in contested environments;
    (3) testing and evaluation requirements for forward 
deployed bio-industrial manufacturing technologies and 
infrastructure; and
    (4) estimated funding and timeline for the development, 
prototyping, and deployment for forward deployment of 
biomanufacturing.

Gesture control technology standards

    The committee recognizes that advancements in gesture 
control technologies have a wide array of potential 
applications across Department of Defense activities.
    The committee recognizes that the development and 
implementation of consistent standards and requirements for 
gesture control technology has the potential to reduce 
administrative redundancy and overlap, and may aid in advancing 
gesture control technology platforms to conventional forces 
more quickly and efficiently.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
December 31, 2022, on implementing uniform standards and 
requirements regarding the deployment of gesture control 
technology.
    The report should include, at a minimum:
    (1) The department's projected timeline for the integration 
of wearable gesture control technology, the offices and 
agencies best suited to foster development, funding, and 
sustainment, and the scope of gesture control interoperability 
in military technology, namely unmanned systems, digital 
interfaces, and communications systems.
    (2) A potential acquisition strategy for wearable gesture 
control, including an estimate of the average production unit 
cost, and a schedule for full-rate production listed in 
paragraph one.

Governance of modular open systems approach in positioning, navigation, 
        and timing systems

    The committee notes the Department of Defense's progress 
with developing a Department-wide reference architecture to 
define a modular open system approach for positioning, 
navigation, and timing (PNT) technologies. However, the 
committee is concerned about a lack of long-term programmatic 
governance of the reference architecture, such as ensuring the 
reference architecture is routinely updated as technology and 
the needs of the Department evolve.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Chairs of the PNT 
Oversight Council to provide a briefing to the House Committee 
on Armed Services not later than March 31, 2023, on plans for 
the establishment of a governance system for the Department-
wide PNT reference architecture that includes the formal 
assignment of responsibility, authority, and accountability for 
the continued development and maintenance of the reference 
architecture and its adoption. The briefing should include how 
such a governance system incentivizes program offices and 
industry to ensure compliance with current and future PNT 
reference architectures. The briefing should also include how 
the Department-wide reference architecture aligns with the 
military service-level architectures, any challenges between 
the Department-wide and military service-level reference 
architectures, and plans for how the Department will routinely 
update the architecture.

Implementing horizon scanning to identify emerging science technology

    Given the rapid pace of innovation, the committee 
recognizes the need for the Department of Defense to adequately 
prepare for future technological and scientific changes, and to 
quickly respond to corresponding needs or gaps.
    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 December 
31, 2022, on horizon scanning in the Department of Defense. The 
briefing should include a description of horizon scanning 
efforts at the Department, and processes, if any, to use 
horizon scanning to inform Department of Defense strategies.

Independent testing and validation of artificial intelligence models

    The committee commends the Department of Defense for its 
progress in working to integrate artificial intelligence (AI) 
into major weapons platforms. The committee, however, is 
concerned by the low number of AI models that are developed and 
fielded in operational environments, which hinders the 
Department's ability to harness the power of AI.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than January 1, 2023, on the Department's efforts to

Report on commercial 5G deployment on military installations

    The committee is concerned about the pace at which the 
Department of Defense is facilitating commercial 5G 
infrastructure deployment on military installations. 
Maintaining parity between the development of civilian coverage 
outside an installation and coverage on an installation is both 
a readiness and quality of life issue for servicemembers. 
Despite the establishment of a common form for siting a 
communications facility installation on federal lands in Public 
Law 115-141, each Military Department appears to be 
establishing its own process which is slowing wireless 
broadband deployment. The lack of designation of a singular 
official responsible for the oversight of this process for each 
Military Department is also hampering execution.
    With this in mind, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to submit a report to the House Committees on Armed 
Services by May 1, 2023 on the Department of Defense's plan to 
reduce barriers to siting communications facilities necessary 
for commercial 5G on military installations. At a minimum, the 
report should include:
    (1) An assessment of the number of military installations 
with access to commercial 5G infrastructure.
    (2) A description of the Department of Defense's current 
process for reviewing an application for communications 
facilities necessary for commercial 5G deployment on military 
installations within each Military Department, and the role 
each Military Department and Installation plays in that 
process.
    (3) How the Department of Defense is utilizing the Standard 
Form 299 process as required by Public Law 115-141, Division P, 
Title VI, Sec. 606.
    a. This should include compliance with the 270 day ``shot 
clock'' requirement.
    (4) The number of applications each Military Department has 
received for the communications facilities necessary for 
commercial 5G deployment on installations over the last 6 
years.
    (5) The number of applications each Military Department has 
approved for communications facilities necessary for commercial 
5G deployment on installations over the last 6 years.
    (6) The average response time to each of these 
applications.
    (7) Whether each Military Department has an online portal 
for processing the Standard Form 299. In the case of a Military 
Department that does not utilize an online portal, what the 
plan of the Military Department is to implement an online 
portal for reviewing the Standard Form 299.
    (8) A plan, to include funding and a timeline, on the 
feasibility of ensuring commercial 5G is available at all 
military installations.

cultural resistance to wider adoption and integration of such 
capabilities, which promise increased operational safety and 
combat effectiveness. In particular, the committee believes the 
Department should seek opportunities to apply such capabilities 
to legacy systems. Therefore, the committee directs that, not 
later than January 1, 2024, the Secretary of Defense shall 
submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
House of Representatives a report nominating mission essential 
subtasks within each operational level of war that could be 
completely or partially addressed by fully autonomous or 
artificially intelligent capabilities. Such report shall 
include the following elements:
    (1) A list of no less than three (3) and no more than five 
(5) Mission Essential Subtasks within each of the six major 
tasks at the operational level of war, as defined by the 
Universal Joint Task List, that could be partially or fully 
replaced or updated with a fully autonomous system;
    (2) A description of the hardware or software required to 
perform each Mission Essential Subtask using autonomous or 
artificially intelligent capabilities;
    (3) Current and planned upgrades to legacy systems that 
contain autonomy and/or artificial intelligence in order to 
enable performance of the identified mission essential 
subtasks; and
    (4) Estimated timelines, required resources, and programmed 
resources necessary to develop, fund and field autonomous or 
artificially intelligent systems upgrades to legacy

amount of Phase I and II awards, shortening the time from SBIR 
Phase 1 proposal submission to contract award, and setting a 
limit for the number of SBIR Phase 1 topics issued annually.

Special operations edge-capable three-dimensional mapping capability

    The committee understands the importance of tactical 
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) edge 
capabilities for special operations users who often must 
navigate contested environments. Further, the committee notes 
the recommendations of the National Security Commission on 
Artificial Intelligence (AI) to develop artificial 
intelligence, machine learning and associated technologies in 
the U.S. to comprehensively address the national security and 
defense needs of the U.S.'' in this domain. The committee also 
understands that three U.S. Special Operations Command 
(USSOCOM) components have identified an operational need for 
edge-capable three-dimensional (3D) mapping technology 
encompassing advanced terrain analytics in near real time.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Commander, USSOCOM to 
assess, and if feasible, field an AI-powered tactical ISR 3D 
mapping solution. The assessment shall determine if the 
solution will enhance the current command and control 
architecture, whether software should be of sufficient 
capability to produce two- and three-dimensional maps of a 
battlespace and if processing should be able to be conducted 
without a cloud connection. Finally, the assessment shall 
determine if the software should be interoperable with Group 1-
5 unmanned aerial systems and with existing imaging payloads, 
to include deployability and operability on mobile devices 
already in the end-user inventory. The committee further 
directs the Commander, USSOCOM to provide a copy of the

              Development, Test, and Evaluation Activities

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
submit reports on the risk information on the Department of 
Defense's research portfolio. As part of this risk information, 
the Department would assess if the risk distribution in the 
research and development portfolio is optimal for the 
Department.

                  TITLE III--OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                             Energy Issues


                    Carbon Free Energy Technologies

    The committee commends the Department of Defense for 
pursuing policies to increase energy resilience, and to reduce 
the carbon emissions of installation and operational energy to 
reduce climate risks. However, the committee is concerned that 
the Department may not be fully considering all carbon-free 
energy technologies, nor is it fully assessing the ability of 
carbon-free emitting energy technologies to meet the 
reliability, resilience, and performance requirements for 
installations and operations, especially for action strategies 
that do not maximize the achievement of both mission objectives 
and climate goals.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than June 1, 2023. The report shall include at a minimum 
the following:
    (1) an evaluation of the reliability, resilience, and 
performance characteristics of all existing and emerging 
carbon-free energy technologies, including grid-scale and 
micro-advanced nuclear energy;
    (2) assesses whether carbon-free energy technologies are 
currently capable, if deployed, of meeting the reliability, 
resilience, and performance requirements for all agency energy 
uses at domestic installations for critical missions; and
    (3) an assessment of emerging carbon-free energy 
technologies in research and development that could enhance 
energy resilience at domestic installations.

 Department of Defense Report on Military Installation Grid Resiliency

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
March 1, 2023, analyzing resiliency of electrical distribution 
infrastructure on military installations in an environment of 
increasing disruption due to extreme weather. U.S. military 
installations should be able to withstand foreseeable weather 
conditions such as high winds, flooding, wildfires, and 
excessive load due to ice or snow with minimal service 
interruption and every effort to use new technology and 
materials should be explored to improve resiliency and 
readiness during adverse conditions. The report shall include, 
at a minimum:
    (1) Details of the overall state of resiliency of on-
installation distribution grids.
    (2) Analysis of the costs and benefits of requiring 
composite utility poles as replacements for poles made of 
traditional material in contracts for electrical services on 
installations vulnerable to extreme weather.
    (3) Other information as the Secretary deems appropriate.

             Energy Conservation Measures at Installations

    The committee commends the military departments on the use 
of energy savings performance contracts to improve energy 
resilience, decrease energy costs, and increase readiness at 
military installations. The committee notes that installation 
commanders and base personnel identify energy saving 
initiatives on their energy conservation measures list and that 
these projects could in turn become part of an energy savings 
performance contract. The committee is concerned that without a 
mechanism for sharing the contents of the energy conservation 
measures list with energy service companies, the Department of 
Defense is not able to utilize energy savings performance 
contracts to the fullest extent possible.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to initiate a study and 
submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
January 1, 2023, on potential methods of securely sharing 
installation energy conservation measures requirements lists 
with existing Department energy services companies.

                 Energy Resilience Readiness Exercises

    The committee commends the military departments for 
embracing the use of black-start exercises as a means to 
identify energy resilience gaps. The committee recognizes that 
the Energy Resilience Readiness Exercise (ERRE) program, when 
used to its greatest potential, can serve to identify gaps in 
energy, water supply, communications, and continuity of 
operations. The committee is aware that by requiring mission 
owners to ``fight through the outage'' and exercise their 
ability to continue their missions in a degraded environment, 
military departments can not only identify energy resilience 
gaps, but also identify and mitigate readiness gaps.
    The committee encourages the military departments to 
utilize the ERRE program to its maximum effect by planning 
exercises in force concentration areas with power projection 
missions and using these exercises to identify readiness gaps 
as well as energy resiliency issues. Accordingly, the committee 
directs the Secretary of the Army to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by November 15, 2022, on 
their planned ERREs for fiscal year 2023. The briefing shall 
include at a minimum the following:
    (1) how each exercise will assess readiness gaps, 
continuity of operations, and critical mission holder ability 
to withstand 12 or more hours of denial of commercial energy 
and water;
    (2) framework for identifying interdependences between 
missions and enabling infrastructure including communications 
networks;
    (3) framework for assessing resilience of backup systems 
including systems supporting intrusion detection, safety, fire-
suppression, and health infrastructure; and
    (4) discussion of future exercise frameworks to include 
timing exercises to coincide with high or low temperatures, and 
large fleet or force concentration areas.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by November 
15, 2022, on their planned ERREs for fiscal year 2023. The 
briefing shall include at a minimum the following:
    (1) how each exercise will assess readiness gaps, 
continuity of operations, and critical mission holder ability 
to withstand 12 or more hours of denial of commercial energy 
and water;
    (2) framework for identifying interdependences between 
missions and enabling infrastructure including communications 
networks;
    (3) framework for assessing resilience of backup systems 
including systems supporting intrusion detection, safety, fire-
suppression, and health infrastructure; and
    (4) discussion of future exercise frameworks to include 
timing exercises to coincide with high or low temperatures, and 
large fleet or force concentration areas.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
November 15, 2022, on their planned ERREs for fiscal year 2023. 
The briefing shall include at a minimum the following:
    (1) how each exercise will assess readiness gaps, 
continuity of operations, and critical mission holder ability 
to withstand 12 or more hours of denial of commercial energy 
and water;
    (2) framework for identifying interdependences between 
missions and enabling infrastructure including communications 
networks;
    (3) framework for assessing resilience of backup systems 
including systems supporting intrusion detection, safety, fire-
suppression, and health infrastructure; and
    (4) discussion of future exercise frameworks to include 
timing exercises to coincide with high or low temperatures, and 
large fleet or force concentration areas.

Feasibility Assessment on Department-Wide On-Site Carbon Pollution-Free 
                            Power Generation

    The committee notes the Army's assessment, in its 2022 
Climate Strategy, of the impact of purchased electricity for 
installations on atmospheric emissions and commends the Army 
for its twenty percent decrease in greenhouse gas emissions 
since 2008. The committee notes the Strategy's Line of Effort 
1: Intermediate Objective 1.2, which aims to achieve carbon 
pollution-free power generation for Army critical missions on 
all installations by 2040. Given the scale of emissions across 
the entire Department of Defense, the committee directs the 
Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, Installations, and 
Environment and the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for 
Energy, Installations, and Environment to provide a briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services on the feasibility of 
accomplishing similar carbon pollution-free power generation 
for critical missions on the installations of their respective 
departments by February 1, 2023.

                         Natural Gas Generators

    The committee notes that diesel generators remain in use as 
emergency power on a number of installations. The committee 
further notes that natural gas generators may provide an 
alternative that cuts overall emissions and reduces carbon 
dioxide. The committee notes that natural gas generators can be 
used in combination with renewable sources or in locations 
where renewable sources are less viable. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by February 
1, 2023, on installations where natural gas generators could be 
fielded as a source of resilient energy.

                           Propane Generators

    The committee notes that diesel generators remain in use as 
emergency power on a number of installations. The committee 
further notes that propane gas generators may provide an 
alternative that cuts overall emissions and reduces carbon 
dioxide. The committee notes that propane generators can be 
used in combination with renewable sources or in locations 
where renewable sources are less viable. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by February 
1, 2023, on installations where propane gas generators could be 
fielded as a source of resilient energy.

         Report on Closing Installation Energy Resiliency Gaps

    The committee commends the military departments for their 
work to close energy resilience gaps at domestic military 
installations. In particular, the committee notes the 
Department of the Army's stated goal to install a microgrid on 
every Army installation by 2035, a significant step in 
addressing Army installation energy resiliency gaps. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense for 
Sustainment, in coordination with the Assistant Secretaries for 
Energy, Installations, and Environment of the military 
departments, to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by February 1, 2023, regarding the efforts of their 
respective departments to close energy resiliency gaps. The 
report shall address the following:
    (1) Progress in identifying and closing installation energy 
resilience gaps at domestic installations;
    (2) Planned microgrid construction projects on military 
installations across the future years defense program;
    (3) The feasibility of installing a microgrid at every 
installation by 2035; and
    (4) The current status of department efforts to maximize 
energy resilience, efficiency, and affordability on every 
installation.

                    Logistics and Sustainment Issues


             Definition of Depot-Level Software Maintenance

    The committee notes that the statutory framework for depot 
maintenance guides a wide range of activity and decision-making 
within the Department of Defense's organic industrial base 
enterprise. However, the definition of depot-level software 
maintenance contained in section 2460 of title 10, United 
States Code, is ambiguous and references a dated Department of 
Defense definition. Analyses by the Logistics Management 
Institute and the Government Accountability Office, among 
others, have noted that this ambiguous definition creates 
confusion within the Department. For example, the Navy views 
software sustainment as an engineering function, while other 
services treat it as a depot maintenance function. This creates 
inconsistencies with respect to the amount of private-sector 
and organic software workload that each service funds.
    The committee notes that an update to the definition of 
depot-level maintenance could better support depot maintenance 
determination, accountability, and management. The committee 
encourages the Department to consult with its private sector 
partners to seek consensus on a potential revision to the 
statutory definition of depot-level software maintenance that 
reflects the software-intensive nature of modern weapon 
systems, ensures adequate organic competencies for weapon 
system software maintenance, and appropriately balances 
workload between government and industry.

             Minimal Capital Investment for Certain Depots

    The committee notes that more than two-thirds of most 
weapon systems' lifecycle costs are incurred for operations and 
sustainment. To support this critical function, it is 
imperative that the military services make consistent, 
strategic capital investments in the organic industrial base 
(OIB). Such investments will ensure modern, surge-ready 
facilities that can support ongoing and future missions, 
facilitate competition with our adversaries, enable the 
recruitment of a skilled OIB workforce, and improve the 
efficiency and effectiveness of weapon system maintenance and 
modernization.
    Despite the military services' largely meeting the 
statutory requirement to invest in the OIB at least 6 percent 
of the average total combined maintenance, repair, and overhaul 
workload for the preceding 3 fiscal years, the Government 
Accountability Office (GAO) has found that facility conditions 
remain poor at most organic depots. The GAO also found that 
some Department of Defense officials believe that the 6 percent 
investment required by section 2476 of title 10, United States 
Code, is not adequate to address OIB infrastructure needs. The 
committee is aware that potential modifications to 10 U.S.C. 
2476, which provides for the 6 percent investment requirement, 
may facilitate more robust and effective investment in the OIB.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretaries of the 
Army, Navy and Air Force to submit reports to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2023, that 
assess potential modifications to 10 U.S.C. 2476 and their 
implications for the military services' ability to make 
strategic investments in the OIB. The reports should assess:
    (1) whether 6 percent is the appropriate minimum investment 
or whether another target should be considered;
    (2) the impacts of requiring a minimum investment at each 
individual depot or depot command, rather than for each 
military department;
    (3) the impact of enabling the minimum investment 
requirement to include funds invested for the sustainment, 
rebuilding, or restoration to like-new condition of existing 
facilities, infrastructure, and equipment;
    (4) whether the baseline for the investment requirement 
should be calculated based on a formula other than the three 
preceding years of revenue;
    (5) the impact of enabling the military departments to 
credit any annual investment in excess of 6 percent to future 
years' minimum requirements; and
    (6) the implications of modifying the depots to which the 
minimum investment requirement applies.

                    Naval Sustainment System-Supply

    The committee notes that supply chain visibility is 
critical to mapping supply chains, identifying vulnerabilities, 
and developing alternate and more secure sources of strategic 
goods and services. Supply chain visibility also promotes 
readiness and optimizes decision-making by improving end-to-end 
logistics processes and data integration. Further, supply chain 
insights achieved through increased data integrity and expanded 
data analytics can drive weapon system readiness improvements.
    The committee commends Naval Supply Systems Command for 
establishing a new end-to-end approach to managing naval supply 
chains and supporting mission performance. Naval Sustainment 
System-Supply (NSS-Supply) seeks to implement a portfolio-based 
approach across the commercial and organic industrial base to 
increase predictability, capacity, and speed throughout the 
supply chain.
    In order for the committee to develop a better 
understanding of the NSS-Supply initiative as a readiness force 
multiplier, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 1, 2023, on the strategy to implement NSS-
Supply. The briefing shall include the following elements:
    (1) an explanation of the milestones and outcomes to be 
achieved under NSS-Supply;
    (2) an explanation of how the potential gains brought by 
NSS-Supply will be institutionalized to improve end-to-end 
supply chain business processes in the Navy; and
    (3) an explanation of the resources needed to support NSS-
Supply and a discussion of the potential to accelerate outcomes 
and the resources required to do so.

                 Navy Organizational-Level Maintenance

    The committee notes that the Navy's organizational-level 
maintenance--in which ships' crews perform routine preventive 
maintenance and repairs such as inspecting, servicing, and 
replacing parts--is a key driver of fleet readiness. However, 
the Comptroller General of the United States has identified 
several challenges impeding the Navy's organizational-level 
maintenance efforts, including crew shortages; poor maintenance 
training leading to an extensive reliance on on-the-job 
training aboard ships; and shortages in the tools, parts, and 
materials needed to perform organizational-level maintenance.
    Day-to-day maintenance is vital to ensuring the operational 
capability and longevity of the fleet. Although the Navy has a 
variety of efforts underway to improve how it conducts more 
complex maintenance activities while ships are in port, it is 
unclear whether the Navy is adequately addressing challenges at 
the organizational maintenance level.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to review and assess the Navy's efforts to 
provide sufficient crewing, training, and material to perform 
required levels of organizational-level maintenance. The review 
should address the following elements:
    (1) the extent to which the Navy has ensured crew levels 
meet requirements for the organizational-level maintenance 
workload;
    (2) the extent to which the Navy has provided sufficient 
organizational-level maintenance and repair training;
    (3) the extent to which the Navy has provided sufficient 
tools, parts, and materials necessary for the performance of 
maintenance aboard ships;
    (4) the extent to which the Navy has developed systems and 
processes for tracking the performance of organizational-level 
maintenance; and
    (5) any other topics deemed appropriate by the Comptroller 
General.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 1, 2023, on the Comptroller General's 
preliminary findings and present final results in a format and 
timeframe agreed to at the time of the briefing.

            Robotic Inspections for Naval Vessel Maintenance

    The committee is concerned that traditional manual methods 
used to inspect naval vessels for damage and deterioration such 
as corrosion may contribute to escalating maintenance costs and 
repair period overruns that delay deployment of critical Navy 
assets.
    As such, the committee encourages the Navy to adopt modern 
inspection methods and technologies that prioritize efficiency, 
cost-effectiveness, and safety to maintenance personnel to 
deliver material readiness and increase mission success.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide 
a briefing to the House Armed Service Committee no later than 
January 31, 2023 on unmanned robotic technologies capable of 
rapid, accurate, and non-hazardous inspection of hulls, 
rudders, and ballast tanks on Navy ships and dry dock caissons 
prone to damage and deterioration. The briefing shall also 
include an evaluation of the cost, accuracy, and hazards 
associated with current inspection methods, an analysis of how 
current inspection methods could be optimized, and an analysis 
of commercially available robotic technologies capable of 
optimizing inspections.

                T-38 and T-6 Aircraft Sustainment Costs

    The committee notes that the Air Force is undergoing 
modernization efforts on various types of aircraft, including 
fighter and trainer aircraft. Modern aircraft are generally 
more cost-effective to maintain and provide for an easier 
transition for pilots and maintainers to fourth- and fifth-
generation aircraft. The committee is concerned about the 
length of service for some of the Air Force's training aircraft 
and supports increased investments to modernize the trainer 
aircraft fleet. Flying legacy trainer aircraft past their 
intended service life can drive increased maintenance costs and 
prevent airmen from training on equipment that will prepare 
them for the rest of their career.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than March 1, 2023, on individual aircraft 
fleet sustainment costs for the T-38 and T-6 aircraft fleets. 
This report should include:
    (1) a detailed description of the current sustainment costs 
for the T-38 and T-6 aircraft fleets;
    (2) an identification and assessment of sustainment cost 
elements attributable to the Air Force and to contractors, 
disaggregated by the entity responsible for each portion of the 
cost element (including for a prime contractor and any first-
tier subcontractor);
    (3) an identification of sustainment cost metrics for the 
T-38 and T-6 aircraft fleets, expressed in a cost-per-tail-per-
year format (pursuant to the formula specified in section 
356(c) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81);
    (4) an assessment of engine operational availability for 
the aircraft and efforts to mitigate any impact to sorties 
flown by T-38 and T-6 aircraft fleets due to unavailability of 
engines;
    (5) a forecast of how accelerating the T-7 acquisition 
timeline could produce potential cost savings for T-38 and T-6 
aircraft fleets; and
    (6) a detailed assessment of any expected issues related to 
the availability of engines throughout the remaining service 
life of the T-38, including the impact that any possible engine 
shortage would have on pilot training at any installation in 
which the T-38 operates.

                         U.S. Private Shipyards

    The committee notes that a robust shipbuilding and repair 
industry is critical to U.S. national security. The Navy's 
approximately 240 non-nuclear ships depend on private shipyards 
for repair, maintenance, and modernization. As the Center for 
Strategic and Budgetary Assessments noted in a 2020 report on 
strengthening the U.S. defense maritime industrial base, the 
most significant private dry-dock shortfall is on the west 
coast. While the Navy has rebalanced its fleet over the last 
decade toward the west coast to better address military 
competition with China, the committee is concerned that 
investment in the industrial base has not been commensurate 
with that shift. Further, according to the Navy, the need for 
additional U.S. shipyard capability outside of homeports is 
critical to provide surge capacity, industrial base stability, 
and increased competition.
    The committee notes that private repair yards can 
potentially perform work more efficiently for the Navy, but the 
Navy has not provided sufficient support and information--
including a long-term, predictable plan for private shipyard 
capacity-building--to private companies that are not yet 
certified to perform Navy work. Additional information and 
support is needed to guide and coordinate the investments 
required for these companies to seek certification for Navy 
maintenance.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than January 31, 2023, on the potential certification of 
additional U.S. private shipyards for Navy maintenance. The 
report should include:
    (1) an assessment of whether the capability and capacity of 
the private shipyards in the United States that currently 
perform Navy maintenance is sufficient to ensure the timely 
repair and modernization of naval vessels;
    (2) an identification and assessment of the private U.S. 
shipyards that could perform maintenance on naval vessels if 
they attained the necessary certifications;
    (3) a description of the Navy's interactions with private 
U.S. shipyards that have approached the Navy about pursuing 
certification for Navy maintenance;
    (4) an assessment of the possible grant programs, loan 
guarantee programs, and other initiatives that the Navy could 
undertake to incentivize private shipyard investment and 
recapitalization to support Navy maintenance; and
     (5) a description of the Navy's plans, if any, to provide 
such assistance to private shipyards.

                            Readiness Issues


      Active and Reserve Component Equipment Transfer Flexibility

    The committee recognizes that over the years the National 
Guard and Reserve Equipment Account (NGREA) has provided the 
Reserve Components additional resources to enhance their 
modernization, especially for those dual-purpose items relevant 
and useful to military and civil support operations. The 
committee understands that there may be statutory and 
regulatory prohibitions or other limitations on the flexibility 
of services to transfer equipment from a Reserve Component to 
an Active Component if the equipment was originally procured 
using NGREA appropriated funds. Such prohibitions and 
limitations may limit the services' flexibility even when such 
transfers are agreed upon by the components and could be 
mutually beneficial.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, in coordination with 
the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, to provide a briefing, 
not later than February 1, 2023, to the House Committee on 
Armed Services on existing prohibitions or limitations and 
potential changes to law or regulation that could allow the 
transfer of Reserve Component equipment purchased with NGREA 
appropriated funds to the Active Component. The briefing 
required shall include:
    (1) any statutory or regulatory constraints or limitations 
that affect equipment transfers from the Reserve Component to 
the Active Component, if such equipment is originally procured 
with NGREA appropriated funds;
    (2) any NGREA rules, regulations, or statutes that impact 
Active Component authority to accept equipment transfers from 
the Reserve Components if such equipment was originally 
procured with NGREA appropriated funds; and
    (3) recommended statutory language, if any, that would 
remove prohibitions or provide flexibility for the transfer of 
equipment procured with NGREA appropriated funds from a Reserve 
Component to an Active Component.

        Air Education and Training Command Predictive Analytics

    The committee supports efforts by the Department of the Air 
Force's Air Education and Training Command (AETC) to utilize 
predictive analytics simulations to achieve improvements in 
aircrew training production and to support the integration of 
the next generation of fighter and trainer aircraft.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force, in coordination with the Commander, Air Education and 
Training Command, to provide a briefing to the House Committee 
on Armed Services by April 1, 2023 on the progress and plans to 
expand predictive analytics and methods by which data analytics 
is being integrated to improve efficiency in fighter and 
trainer aircraft squadrons.

         Air Force Operational Training Digital Infrastructure

    The committee notes that the Air Force is testing virtual, 
augmented, and mixed-reality technologies in both its pilot and 
maintenance training pipelines in order to provide students 
with an immersive training experience, tailor trainings to 
address unique needs, and accelerate the training process. 
While the committee recognizes the Air Force's progress in 
deploying digital training infrastructure, the committee is 
concerned that the Air Force may not have sufficient plans in 
place to integrate digital training infrastructure into its 
training organizations and commands at a speed that aligns with 
the pace of software development.
    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, 2023, on a service-wide plan 
to transition digital training infrastructure into the 
appropriate Air Force organizations as soon as technical 
readiness will allow. This briefing should include:
    (1) details on ensuring the security of digital 
infrastructure and training tools;
    (2) future support and sustainment plans for digital 
training infrastructure;
    (3) plans for the incorporation of immersive technologies 
such as extended reality;
    (4) actions to ensure unity of effort across Air Force 
commands;
    (5) information on approval and certification roles and 
responsibilities for software and hardware integration; and
    (6) plans for the inclusion of small businesses.

           Briefing on Joint Transportation Management System

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit to 
the House Committee on Armed Services, not later than February 
1, 2023 a briefing on the implementation of the joint 
transportation management system of the Department of Defense. 
Such briefing shall include the following elements:
    (1) The implementation plan.
    (2) The implementation schedule.
    (3) Resources the Secretary determines necessary for 
implementation.

                        Commercial Adversary Air

    The committee notes that the Air Force makes use of 
commercial adversary aviation services to train new fighter 
pilots to fly against enemy fighter pilots and their aircraft. 
Once predominately an in-house function, the Air Force has 
determined that the use of commercial adversary air can yield 
cost savings, save flying hours on some of the military's most 
expensive aircraft, and provide combat flight training 
experience against a variety of aircraft.
    In order to better understand the Air Force's use of 
commercial adversary air, the committee directs the Secretary 
of the Air Force to submit a report to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than March 1, 2023, on the current use 
and future plans for commercially contracted adversary air. The 
report should include:
    (1) a description of the Air Force's current utilization of 
contract adversary air;
    (2) an assessment of the outcomes of the Air Force's use of 
contract adversary air;
    (3) a comparison of the cost per flying hour of utilizing 
commercial adversary aircraft instead of fifth-generation 
fighters;
    (4) a description of the impact of utilizing commercial 
adversary air on maintenance personnel availability, pilot 
retention, and Air Force aircraft utilization; and
    (5) a description of the Air Force's plans for the future 
utilization, basing, and funding for commercial adversary air.

             Comptroller General Review of Army Watercraft

    The Army has stressed that its watercraft are a significant 
combat multiplier in support of large-scale combat operations. 
Composed of a small number of units and somewhat less than 100 
vessels, Army watercraft transport, support, resupply, and 
sustain combat forces wherever coasts, littorals, port, and 
inland waterways, come into play.
    The committee has significant concerns about the readiness, 
force structure capacity, and modernization plans of the Army's 
watercraft fleet. The Army has a transformation strategy to 
resize, restructure, and modernize the fleet; over the long 
term, the Army believes it will require a larger fleet with 
more advanced capabilities. To assist the committee in its 
oversight of these efforts, the committee directs the 
Comptroller General of the United States to review and assess 
the Army's watercraft readiness, sustainment, and long-term 
force structure plans. The Comptroller General's review should:
    (1) assess the readiness of Army watercraft units, 
including key drivers of readiness;
    (2) assess the Army's programs to sustain, extend the 
service life, and modernize its fleet of watercraft; and
    (3) evaluate the extent to which the Army has evaluated its 
force structure and capacity requirements for watercraft to 
support large-scale combat operations over the long term.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 15, 2023, on preliminary findings of the 
review and present final results in a format and timeframe 
agreed to at the time of the briefing.

  Comptroller General Review of Marine Corps and Army Force Structure 
                                 Plans

    Since the renewed emphasis on great power competition, both 
the Marine Corps and Army have developed new warfighting 
concepts and aligned their force structure plans to better 
prepare the United States to fight in complex, multi-domain 
environments. The Marines divested tanks, some aviation, and 
artillery units as part of their force design changes, and 
created the first Marine Littoral Regiment in 2022. The Army is 
activating up to five Multi-Domain Task Forces for planning and 
coordinating a variety of theater-wide operations, including 
cyber, space, electronic and information warfare, and long-
range fires.
    The committee recognizes that both the Marine Corps and 
Army are at the early stages of orienting their warfighting 
doctrine and force structure plans toward great power 
competition. Russia's invasion of Ukraine and China's outsized 
presence in the Pacific region are constant reminders of how 
important it is for the Marine Corps and Army to successfully 
consider and implement changes in the size and composition of 
their forces. To assist the committee in its oversight of the 
Marine Corps and Army initiatives, the committee directs the 
Comptroller General of the United States to review and assess 
the military services' force structure plans for addressing 
great power competition. The Comptroller General's review 
should:
    (1) assess the military services' plans for developing and 
fielding Marine Littoral Regiments and Army Multi-Domain Task 
Forces;
    (2) evaluate the extent to which the Marine Corps and Army 
are collaborating with each other on warfighting concepts and 
doctrine in establishing these units; and
    (3) assess the extent to which the Joint Staff and 
combatant commanders have incorporated Marine Littoral 
Regiments and Army Multi-Domain Task Forces in their joint 
doctrine, guidance, and plans.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 15, 2023, on the Comptroller General's 
preliminary findings and present final results in a format and 
timeframe agreed to at the time of the briefing.

            Consolidation of Air Force Landing Gear Systems

    The committee recognizes the improved safety, reliability, 
and maintainability of a Consolidation of Landing Gear Systems. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force 
to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 1, 2023, on the benefits of consolidation of Landing Gear 
Systems within the Air Force Sustainment Center. The report 
should include a Business Case Analysis by weapons system to 
ensure supportability and that identifies any measurable 
improvements in safety and maintainability. The report shall 
also provide the requisite engineering, logistics and test 
resources based on the results of the weapons system Business 
Case Analysis and should include a Research, Development, Test 
and Evaluation review as a part of the Central Test and 
Evaluation Investment Program.

               Defense Readiness for Global Catastrophes

    The committee notes that the global COVID-19 pandemic has 
highlighted risks to Department of Defense missions that were 
previously either unknown or under-appreciated. The committee 
further notes that these risks and lessons learned are readily 
applicable to other catastrophes or incidences with the 
capacity to cause global impacts to economies, supply chain, 
and workforce. The committee contends that the Department of 
Defense should be incorporating best practices and lessons 
learned from the COVID-19 pandemic into doctrine and policy to 
ensure that the Department is ready to support the warfighter 
in conflicts that coincide with or actions requiring defense 
support to civil authorities in response to major global events 
and catastrophes.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than February 1, 2024, providing an assessment of the 
Department's readiness in relation to a future global 
catastrophe and adoption of best practices learned through the 
COVID-19 global pandemic into the Department's doctrine and 
policies. The report shall include at a minimum the following:
    (1) an assessment of best practices and risks identified 
during the COVID-19 global pandemic;
    (2) the extent to which these lessons learned have been 
adopted into Department of Defense or military department 
doctrine, policy, and practice;
    (3) assessment of risk to continuity of operations and 
execution of national functions in the aftermath of a global 
catastrophe or significant event of global impact, and to what 
extent mitigations have been put in place to address those 
risks;
    (4) a description of the events the Department has deemed 
most likely or most dangerous or incapacitating;
    (5) an assessment of potential future investments and 
policy shifts required to address those events; and
    (6) an assessment of the Department's current ability to 
successfully conduct national functions and maintain continuity 
of operations during those events.

                     F-35 Operational Capabilities

    The committee notes that operational F-35 aircraft have 
experienced sustainment challenges, including problems 
associated with the global supply chain and the F-35 logistics 
software. As the services have increasingly deployed the F-35 
to forward locations in recent years, including Air Force 
deployments to the Middle East and the Pacific, Navy 
deployments on the USS Carl Vinson in the Pacific, and Marine 
Corps F-35 stationing in Japan and deployment on amphibious 
ships, it is critical to assess the F-35's operational 
capabilities and lessons learned from these deployments.
    Therefore, to satisfy the requirement provided in section 
357 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2022 (Public Law 117-81), the committee directs the Comptroller 
General of the United States to conduct a comprehensive review 
of F-35 operational capabilities and challenges. This review 
should assess the extent to which:
    (1) the military services have used the F-35 to support 
operational deployments, met performance expectations when 
deployed, and experienced sustainment-related challenges during 
those operations;
    (2) the current stocks of repair parts and consumable 
supplies contained in the F-35's afloat and deployment spares 
packages have successfully supported operational deployments;
    (3) the military services have experienced challenges 
operating and maintaining F-35s that remain at the air bases or 
stations from which F-35s are deployed; and
    (4) any other topics deemed appropriate by the Comptroller 
General.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 1, 2023, on the Comptroller General's 
preliminary findings and present final results in a format and 
timeframe agreed to at the time of the briefing.

                       Fighter Aircraft Readiness

    The committee notes that while the Department of Defense 
spends billions of dollars annually to maintain fighter 
aircraft, persistent fleet-wide aircraft availability 
challenges limit the readiness of military fighter jets.
    The Comptroller General of the United States has reported 
in recent years that Air Force and Navy aircraft mission 
capable rates have been negatively impacted by aging aircraft, 
depot maintenance delays, and insufficient supply support. The 
readiness of Air Force and Navy fighter jets is also being 
negatively affected by the Department of Defense's flawed 
approach to developing requirements and executing funding to 
support fighter aircraft readiness. Finally, the committee is 
concerned that program offices are not fully implementing 
leading sustainment practices.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than November 1, 2022, on fighter readiness, historical 
operation and support costs for fighter aircraft, and planned 
modernization efforts for these aircraft.
    Further, the committee directs the Comptroller General to 
conduct a review of the Department of Defense's employment of 
aircraft sustainment best practices and execution of operation 
and maintenance (O&M) funding for fighter aircraft. The review 
should:
    (1) identify knowledge-based sustainment practices for 
maintaining aircraft, to include a review of private industry 
approaches and methods;
    (2) assess the extent to which the Department has 
incorporated these practices into policy and guidance and 
implemented them in its sustainment of fighter aircraft;
    (3) review military service and fighter aircraft program 
office approaches to establishing O&M funding requirements;
    (4) review the Department's approach to presenting its O&M 
budget request for fighter aircraft and the extent to which 
this enables visibility into the amount requested for each 
aircraft;
    (5) analyze the requested, appropriated, and executed O&M 
amounts for fighter aircraft and determine whether there is any 
correlation with readiness outcomes; and
    (6) address any other topics deemed appropriate by the 
Comptroller General.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than April 1, 2023, on the Comptroller General's 
preliminary findings and present final results in a format and 
timeframe agreed to at the time of the briefing.

Improving Safety Oversight and Implementation of Accident Investigation 
                            Recommendations

    The committee notes that the Navy has elevated its Naval 
Safety Center to a two-star command under the direct authority 
of the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) in an effort to move 
from reactively managing safety to proactively managing risk. 
Naval Safety Command's mission is to provide safety advice and 
assistance to the CNO and the Secretary of the Navy, to manage 
the Navy's safety and occupational health program, and to 
oversee the Department of the Navy's safety management systems. 
The decision to establish the Naval Safety Command was a 
recommendation resulting from the investigation into the USS 
Bonhomme Richard fire. In the wake of the fire, the Navy also 
established a Learning to Action Board to ensure that 
recommended actions from accident investigations are 
effectively implemented.
    The committee notes that all the military departments face 
challenges in identifying, adjudicating, and mitigating 
operational and training risk. Risk is often pushed down the 
chain of command rather than adjudicated at the appropriate 
level. Further, risk can be obfuscated and compounded by 
underreporting, failures to form a comprehensive understanding 
of risk contributors, ineffective corrective actions, non-
enduring corrective actions, and the absence of higher echelon 
and self-monitoring programs to assess risk management 
effectiveness.
    The committee commends the Navy for the establishment of 
the Naval Safety Command and the Learning to Action Board. The 
committee directs the Secretary of the Army and the Secretary 
of the Air Force each to submit a report to the House Committee 
on Armed Services not later than January 31, 2022, on the 
feasibility of establishing a safety command and creating a 
body similar to the Navy's Learning to Action Board within the 
Army and the Air Force.

Incorporation of Disaster Response Scenarios into Department of Defense 
                               Exercises

    The committee commends the Department of Defense for its 
series of war games designed to exercise humanitarian 
assistance and disaster response capabilities. The committee 
notes that while these exercises are useful, rarely do world 
events happen in isolation. The committee contends that another 
potentially more useful way to conduct disaster response 
training is to include it in exercises with other defense 
objectives. The committee notes that this would more closely 
simulate real-world events and require exercise participants to 
assess risk and make decisions requiring hard trade-offs.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than February 1, 2023, on the ways in which disaster 
response training can be incorporated into major training 
events and exercises. The briefing shall include at a minimum a 
discussion of inclusion of the following:
    (1) extreme weather events;
    (2) earthquakes, tsunamis, and wildfires; and
    (3) pandemic response.

     Mitigating Global Household Goods Contract Service Disruptions

    The committee continues to closely monitor US TRANSCOM's 
plans to transition to a single provider for the packing and 
moving of household goods, storage-in-transit warehouse 
service, and unaccompanied baggage shipments. It is critical 
that this new model, known as the Global Household Goods 
Contract (GHC), delivers for our servicemen, women, and their 
families. The committee understands that the transition to GHC 
is ongoing. However, recent unanticipated events like the 
COVID-19 pandemic and heightened inflation are just a few 
examples of conditions that may necessitate the need for a 
strategy to mitigate against unforeseen circumstances that 
could impact the provisions of moving services to service 
members. Specifically, the committee supports efforts to enable 
the quick execution of contingencies to avoid any service 
disruptions. Therefore, the committee directs the Commander, US 
TRANSCOM, to deliver a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by October 1, 2022, that includes:
    (1) Contingencies considered during the contracting process 
other than contract termination and nonrenewal of extension 
options;
    (2) Plans to reduce service interruption if contract 
performance metrics are not met;
    (3) Best practices from other commercial contracts to avoid 
service interruption if contract performance metrics are not 
met;
    (4) Details on contract portability in the event of 
contract termination;
    (5) Assurances for protecting service members personally 
identifiable information;
    (6) Plans and contingencies to ensure performance goals 
during ``peak moving season'' of contract transition; and
    (7) Updates on software development and integration of 
``MIL Move'' information technology program.

                 National Defense Stockpile Assessment

    The Committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by April 1, 2023 assessing the efforts of the 
Department of Defense with respect to the National Defense 
Stockpile. The report shall include:
    (1) The assumptions used by the Secretary of Defense in the 
most recent report submitted under section 14 of the Strategic 
and Critical Materials Stock Piling Act (50 U.S.C. 98h-5) to 
determine the strategic and critical materials required for 
inclusion in the National Defense Stockpile.
    (2) The extent to which the Department has assessed whether 
the stocks of strategic and critical materials reduce 
dependence on foreign sources or a single source for supplies 
of such strategic and critical materials in times of national 
emergency (as defined in section 12 of the Strategic and 
Critical Materials Stock Piling Act (50 U.S.C. 98h-3)).
    (3) The risks identified by the Department arising from not 
having sufficient reserves of certain strategic and critical 
materials in the National Defense Stockpile.
    (4) Recommendations for improvements with regard to the 
items listed in 1-3.
    Furthermore, the Committee directs the Comptroller General 
of the United States to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services no later than April 30, 2023 on the 
findings and recommendations of the assessment.

          Regionally Aligned Readiness and Modernization Model

    The committee notes that the Army is changing its force 
generation model for the second time since 2017. In July 2021, 
the Army reported to this committee that its legacy force 
generation model, Sustainable Readiness, delivers sub-optimal 
readiness and modernization results. Under the new Regionally 
Aligned Readiness and Modernization Model (ReARMM), the Army is 
standardizing deployment, training, and modernization periods 
to better synchronize the fielding of more capable weapon 
systems and equipment, prioritizing those units that need it 
the most. The Army also will use ReARMM to optimize Army forces 
across the regular Army and Reserve Components by aligning 
units globally, regionally, and functionally across mission 
requirements. By taking these actions, the Army believes that 
ReARMM will better address recent changes in joint force 
requirements, fiscal pressures, and global threats. According 
to the Army's July 2021 report, the Army is modifying its 
existing force generation systems and processes, such that the 
majority of regular Army units will fall under ReARMM by the 
end of fiscal year 2023.
    The committee recognizes that the Army will require time to 
implement ReARMM, and that there will be lessons to be learned 
as units transition to the new model. To inform committee 
oversight of the Army's progress in implementing ReARMM, the 
committee directs the Comptroller General of the United States 
to assess the status, progress, budget implications, and 
potential challenges of implementing the new model. The 
Comptroller General's review should:
    (1) compare and contrast ReARMM with Sustainable Readiness, 
including whether the Army has designed ReARMM to address the 
shortcomings of Sustainable Readiness;
    (2) examine the Army's governance of the transition to and 
implementation of ReARMM;
    (3) assess changes in the Army's processes for organizing, 
training, and equipping the total Army under ReARMM;
    (4) analyze how the implementation of ReARMM is affecting 
Army readiness; and
    (5) review any other aspects of ReARMM that the Comptroller 
General deems significant.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 15, 2023, on the Comptroller General's 
preliminary findings and present final results in a format and 
timeframe agreed to at the time of the briefing.

  Report on the Composition of the Rotational Brigade Combat Team in 
                                 Korea

    There are few places where force readiness and the ability 
to fight at a moment's notice are more important than on the 
Korean Peninsula. Our forward presence there is integral to our 
efforts to assure allies and deter aggressors. Earlier this 
year, it was announced that the normal rotational Armored 
Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) would be replaced with a Stryker 
Brigade Combat Team (SBCT) rotation. The SBCT will bring a 
different set of capabilities than an ABCT, and trade-offs and 
risks associated with such a change must be better understood. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Army to 
submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
February 15, 2023, that will:
    (1) describe the intended benefits or improved suitability 
of a Stryker Brigade Combat Team for consequence management on 
the Korean Peninsula;
    (2) describe planned usage of Army Prepositioned Stock-Set 
4 (APS-4) in the Indo-Pacific over the next 5 years, to include 
any removal of the APS-4 stock from the Korean Peninsula for 
training elsewhere in the theater;
    (3) describe the timelines and resources required for rapid 
deployment of an Armored Brigade Combat Team to the Korean 
Peninsula in the event of conflict and if needed; and
    (4) include a cost estimate of the difference between 
having a Stryker Brigade Combat Team (SBCT) rotation on the 
Korean Peninsula as opposed to an Armored Brigade Combat Team 
(ABCT).

             Report on Warehouse Utilization Project Pilot

    The committee continues to support the objectives and 
progress of Department of Defense efforts to modernize and 
improve space management of its network of 4,000 warehouses. As 
a result of findings from the 2018 Non-Tactical Warehouse 
Initiative study, the Office of the Secretary of Defense is 
conducting a pilot program of warehouse consolidation, 
commercial insourcing, and technology enablement at multiple 
sites across the Department of Defense enterprise, including 
Anniston Army Depot, Tinker Air Force Base, Marine Corps 
Logistics Base Barstow, and Naval Base San Diego.
    The committee encourages the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to continue to centrally fund and 
execute the warehouse utilization project and assess the 
potential for expanding it to additional sites across the 
Department of Defense enterprise. In addition, the committee 
understands major process improvement and technology 
modernization efforts are underway at the Defense Logistic 
Agency's Eastern Distribution Center.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to submit a report to 
the congressional defense committees not later than February 1, 
2023, detailing plans for continued execution of the warehouse 
space management pilot, projected sites, and updated cumulative 
metrics describing realized and estimated return on investment. 
The report should also include detail on plans, if any, to 
undertake modernization at other distribution centers within 
the Department warehousing footprint.

                      Stockpile Status of Antimony

    The committee is concerned about recent geopolitical 
dynamics with Russia and China and how that could accelerate 
supply chain disruptions, particularly with antimony. 
Therefore, the committee directs the National Defense Stockpile 
Manager to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than September 30, 2022, on the stockpile 
status of antimony. The briefing shall include not only the 
status of the current stockpile, but also a 5-year outlook of 
these minerals and current and future supply chain 
vulnerabilities.

Transition from Joint Service Lightweight Integrated Suit Technology to 
                Uniformed Integrated Protective Ensemble

    The committee is aware that the Joint Service Lightweight 
Integrated Suit Technology (JSLIST) will soon be replaced by 
the Uniformed Integrated Protective Ensemble (UIPE). Therefore, 
the committee directs the Director of the Defense Logistics 
Agency to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than January 1, 2023, on the impacts to the 
supply chain during the transition from JSLIST to UIPE and any 
mitigation efforts to prevent supply chain disruption.

                   Transportation Officer Flexibility

    The Committee notes that the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the 
degree to which weakened U.S. supply chains pose a risk to our 
economic and national security. Effective transportation 
management related to planning, operation, coordination and 
evaluation of all modes of transportation in order to move 
units, personnel, equipment, and supplies is critical to 
support the warfighter.
    The Committee directs the Commander of U.S. Transportation 
Command to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by March 1, 2022, regarding the feasibility of 
developing a policy to allow transportation officers, when 
necessary, to utilize transportation and distribution resources 
outside of existing services contracts in order to meet supply 
chain requirements and warfighter needs.

                             Other Matters


                            Air Force Basing

    The strategic basing process provides an enterprise-wide 
model for the Air Force to determine the future locations of 
their units, manpower, missions, and weapon systems. Basing 
these relatively stable number of airmen and equipment is a 
difficult task, namely due to the finite number of locations 
for which basing them would be useful and appropriate based on 
circumstances and conditions. The committee is aware of the Air 
Force's and Air National Guard's desire to reduce fleets of 
third- and fourth-generation aircraft to free up resources for 
fifth- and future-generation aircraft and capabilities, like 
the F-35, the Next Generation Air Dominance weapon system, and 
modified C-130Js. In order to wisely use the resources 
available to it, the committee encourages the Air Force and the 
Air National Guard to seek efficiencies while reviewing options 
for long-term basing for a wide variety of next generation 
aircraft, considering such factors as mission, installation 
capacity, environmental impacts, costs and strategic alignment, 
airspace, climate, and impacts to the community, like 
responding to natural disasters.

                    Army Arctic Gear Prioritization

    The committee recognizes the importance of the Arctic as an 
emerging geographic domain of competition with our near-peer 
adversaries, which is reinforced in the Department of Defense 
Arctic Strategy delivered to Congress in 2019 and the Army's 
release of its Arctic strategy entitled ``Regaining Arctic 
Dominance.'' The committee further recognizes the need for the 
Army to be able to operate in a variety of theaters despite the 
sustained, and ongoing, deployment cycle of units to the U.S. 
Central Command theater since 2001.
    As such, the committee believes the Army must man, train, 
equip, and organize to win in the Arctic and will continue to 
support the research, development, testing, and fielding of 
modernized Arctic warfare equipment. Finally, the committee 
urges the Army to prioritize the equal delivery of modernized 
Arctic equipment to units that would be designated for 
deployment to the Arctic region, to include the 10th Mountain 
Division, which has been the Army's most deployed division 
since September 11, 2001.

                  Army Expansion of One World Terrain

    The committee recognizes that Army Futures Command has seen 
great utility in the One World Terrain (OWT) 3D data used for 
both synthetic training and operational missions, most recently 
in Afghanistan and along the Russian-Ukraine border. The 
committee approves of the continued expansion of the OWT 
program to provide 3D data for operational missions while 
continuing to satisfy synthetic training requirements.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services, 
not later than December 22, 2022, that addresses the current 
and expected operational demand of One World Terrain's 
capability, efforts to identify requirements across the user 
community, and the need for future budget requests needed to 
take into consideration operational missions, including mission 
planning, targeting, navigation, and analysis.

      Army National Guard Powered Ascenders for Aviation Readiness

    The committee is aware of the United States Coast Guard's 
procurement of powered ascenders to replace the MH-60T 
helicopter's Emergency Recovery Device (ERD). The ERD is the 
back-up hoist system required aboard all MH-60Ts, and the 
existing system is no longer supported. The powered ascender 
identified as the ERD replacement has passed every Coast Guard 
certification and has been approved for use on the MH-60T 
helicopter by the U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Training Center.
    The committee recognizes the importance of similar 
redundant systems for Army National Guard rescue hoist 
operations in support of domestic emergency response. For units 
where rescue hoist operations are a mission-essential task, the 
committee believes lightweight, portable, powered ascenders 
with lift capacity equivalent to conventional rescue hoists 
provide significant improvements in aviation readiness for 
rescue hoist operations.
    The Army National Guard must remain ready to respond to 
domestic emergencies. Modernizing Army National Guard UH/HH-60 
Black Hawk helicopters will ensure the Army National Guard 
remains ready, lethal, and mission-relevant to the total force 
and in support of the National Defense Strategy. Therefore, the 
committee encourages the U.S. Army Program Executive Office-
Aviation and Project Management-Utility Helicopter Office 
(Redstone Arsenal) to begin the process of publishing an 
Airworthiness Release for the powered ascender approved by the 
U.S. Coast Guard Aviation Training Center in order to provide 
State units of the National Guard with the option to purchase 
powered ascenders.

  Briefing on Progress Towards Historical Accounting of Department of 
            Defense Participation in Indian Boarding Schools

    The committee notes that the Federal Government has 
recently begun a whole-of-government accounting process to more 
fully document its role in the establishment and sustainment of 
American Indian boarding schools in the United States from 1819 
through the 1960s. The committee recognizes the Department of 
Defense's role in hosting and administering some of these 
schools and the harm that historical legacy has caused to 
former students, their families and greater American Indian, 
Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian communities. The committee 
commends the Department of the Army for its efforts to account 
for, engage with families, and where desired, repatriate the 
remains of American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian 
students who died while attending the Carlisle Indian 
Industrial School. However, the committee notes that without a 
full accounting of the Department of Defense's role it cannot 
provide similar information and comfort to other families of 
former students. Accordingly, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than December 1, 2022, on 
the process by which the Department will conduct this 
accountability effort. The briefing shall include at a minimum 
the following:
    (1) the process by which the Department of Defense will 
conduct this study;
    (2) how the Department has consulted with Native American 
tribes, Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian communities both on 
the process that will be used;
    (3) how the Department will consult with and provide 
opportunities for participation by Native American tribes and 
Native Alaskan and Native Hawaiian communities throughout the 
study;
    (4) how the Department will present its findings to the 
impacted communities and the greater American public; and
    (5) any additional information on how the Department will 
move forward after the accounting process is complete, 
particularly with respect to the repatriation of remains 
located at Indian boarding schools.

                        Burn Pit Wind Down Plan

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 
2023 regarding the Department of Defense's actions to reduce 
the use of burn pits. Such briefing shall include information 
on efforts to close existing burn pits and the Department's 
plan to develop or validate methods of alternative waste

Comptroller General Review of Contractor-Owned and Contractor-Operated 
                            Fuel Agreements

    The committee is concerned about the availability of vital 
resources during conflict within contested environments, 
specifically fuel. Furthermore, the committee is curious as to 
whether contract mechanisms might be available to mitigate such 
risks. Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General 
of the United States to review the agreements entered into by 
the Secretary of Defense for contractor-owned and contractor-
operated items and services relating to fuel distribution and 
access. The review shall include:
    (1) an assessment of specific provisions that may be 
included under such agreements;
    (2) an assessment of specific types of such agreements that 
would ensure the availability of fuel during periods of 
conflict, including provisions requiring the continuance of 
performance during emergencies and financial instruments or 
other letters of credit that compel compliance; and
    (3) defense cooperation agreements, host nation support 
agreements, or other types of agreements that provide for 
access to the foreign country in which fuel is to be 
distributed.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than June 1, 2023, on the Comptroller General's 
preliminary findings and present final results in a format and 
timeframe agreed to at the time of the briefing.

   Comptroller General Review of Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility 
                          Remediation Efforts

    The committee notes that the November 2021 release of fuel 
from the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage Facility in Hawaii has 
impacted drinking water for service members and civilians on 
Oahu. In March 2022, the Department of Defense announced the 
intention to defuel and permanently close the facility, as well 
as remediate the surrounding area; $100.0 million has been 
appropriated to support this defueling, though full 
decommissioning and remediation costs are unknown. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to review these remediation efforts. This review shall 
study:
    (1) the remediation of the environmental contamination 
resulting from the Red Hill fuel releases;
    (2) the Department's efforts to calculate and record 
environmental liabilities for the Red Hill incident; and
    (3) the Department's total projected costs to decommission 
and remediate the Red Hill site.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than June 1, 2023, on the Comptroller General's 
preliminary findings and present final results in a format and 
timeframe agreed to at the time of the briefing.

              Data Dashboard for Aviation Status Tracking

    The committee is aware that aviation enterprise automation 
systems, or data dashboards, are a valuable tool for 
maintaining situational awareness of assets. Having the ability 
to track flight hours, maintenance status and history, and 
equipment inventory, in real time, is invaluable for achieving 
a high readiness status and identifying places where 
efficiencies could be achieved. These systems have been shown 
to improve tracking, reduce costs, and provide clarity to 
complex processes, and the committee understands that similar 
benefits apply to the military.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by February 15, 2023, that will include:
    (1) background on the aviation enterprise automation 
systems currently used by the Army, Navy, Air Force, and 
National Guard to track information related to their aviation 
assets including, but not limited to, flight hours, maintenance 
status and history, and equipment inventory;
    (2) a review of aviation enterprise automation systems 
currently in use by the public or private aviation sector; 
their suitability for military use; and a review of their 
ability to reduce errors, display complex information in an 
easy-to-understand format, and provide real-time assessments;
    (3) an assessment of how these other options differ from 
the Army's current systems and how they are similar, including 
whether the use of multiple systems might assist operations; 
and
    (4) a cost analysis of these different systems.

        Development of Lightweight High-Power Ground Power Units

    The Committee is aware of the development of Lightweight 
High-Power Ground Power Units (GPU), that are small, highly 
mobile, and very energy dense power units. Highly mobile, 
energy dense power generation is critical for the future 
electrification of the military platforms for fixed, ground, 
air, and naval applications. Once available, the GPU has the 
potential for revolutionizing military power delivery to 
installations and forward bases. Recent tests demonstrate the 
ability to generate 1.5MW of electrical power from a 
lightweight turbogenerator deployed via towed trailer.
    However, the committee believes that additional research 
and testing is required to further the operational 
applicability of GPUs. Ensuring the reliability of GPUs in the 
field requires continued evaluation of the ability to consume 
diverse fuels, reduce electromagnetic and thermal signatures, 
and combine with other tactical loads. The committee encourages 
the Secretary of the Army, and the U.S. Army Engineer Research 
and Development Center, to conduct a field demonstration 
consisting of multiple GPU prototypes to further the 
development of highly mobile, energy-dense power generation. 
Furthermore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army, 
in consultation with the U.S. Army Engineer Research and 
Development Center, to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by February 1, 2023, on a plan to 
qualify GPUs for operational use.

           Environmental Cleanup at National Guard Locations

    The committee notes that section 316 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-
92) and section 314 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-
283) authorized the use of Defense Environmental Restoration 
Program funds for National Guard sites contaminated by 
perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) or perfluorooctane sulfonate 
(PFOS) in order to facilitate the cleanup of defense 
communities around National Guard installations. The committee 
further notes that the Department of Defense has previously 
stated that the majority of the National Guard's environmental 
cleanup requirements result from PFOS and PFOA contamination. 
The committee is concerned that installations remain unaware of 
the changes to this authority and as a result are not utilizing 
Defense Environmental Restoration Program funds for this 
purpose to their fullest extent.
    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 by December 
15, 2022, on the measures taken to inform National Guard 
installations about this authority. The briefing shall include 
at a minimum the following:
    (1) a breakdown of National Guard cleanup funding needs to 
include the percentage involving PFOS and PFOA; and
    (2) plans to update the Defense Environmental Restoration 
Program Manual to reflect changes to statute and policy.

   Feasibility Assessment on Determining Source of Petroleum Products

    The committee notes that having a comprehensive 
understanding of how Department of Defense equipment is powered 
is important, including the source of said energy. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Director of the Defense Logistics 
Agency (DLA) to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services by February 15, 2023, on the feasibility of 
being able to specify the sources of crude oil that is 
eventually refined, purchased by DLA Energy, and used by the 
Department of Defense. These sources should include locations 
like the major oil fields in the continental United States, 
Alaska, and offshore water source of crude.

        Former Air Force Radar Sites with Asbestos Contamination

    The committee is aware that asbestos was routinely used to 
insulate radar sites on Air Force installations during the Cold 
War period. Many of these sites, including the former North 
Truro Air Force Station, Truro, Massachusetts, were closed in 
the 1990s but never fully remediated. The committee notes that 
the deterioration of these sites has in some cases led to 
asbestos contamination of soils and ground water causing risk 
to human health and the environment. The committee is concerned 
that failure to conduct site inspections and remedial 
investigations on these sites in order to fully characterize 
the site may lead to increased liability and risk as the 
facilities on these sites continue to deteriorate. Accordingly, 
the committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to submit 
a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than December 15, 2022, on the Air Force's plan to characterize 
these sites and develop a plan to provide further remediation 
if required. The report should include at a minimum the 
following:
    (1) a list of inactive Air Force sites with known or 
expected asbestos contamination;
    (2) a plan to include a timeline and prioritized list for 
characterizing these sites through the conduct of a site 
inspection and remedial investigation; and
    (3) an assessment of the state of facilities deterioration 
and the corresponding risk of friable asbestos being released 
into soils and groundwater.

               Gaps in Writings on U.S. Air Force History

    The committee acknowledges that the history of the United 
States Air Force is rich and complex, and that many areas 
remain to be explored by historians.
    The committee encourages and supports collaboration between 
historians and the Air Force History and Museums Program to 
help preserve its unique history. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a report to 
the House Armed Services Committee by March 1, 2023, that lists 
any identified gaps in the existing cannon of United States Air 
Force history to better enable historians' efforts to more 
holistically document the past.

                 Gaps in Writings on U.S. Army History

    The committee acknowledges that the history of the United 
States Army is rich and complex, and that many areas remain to 
be explored by historians. The committee encourages and 
supports collaboration between historians and the U.S. Army 
Center of Military History to help preserve its unique history. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army to 
provide a report to the House Armed Services Committee by March 
1, 2023, that lists any identified gaps in the existing cannon 
of United States Army history to better enable historians' 
efforts to more holistically document the past.

    Guidance for Tribal and Cultural Resource Personnel within the 
                         Department of Defense

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense must 
engage in government-to-government consultation with federally 
recognized tribes under various Federal statutes, regulations, 
Department-promulgated policies, and executive orders. The 
committee further notes that the Department of Defense 
Instruction 4710.02 provides guidance on the interactions 
between the Department of Defense and federally recognized 
tribes. The committee notes that while this document provides a 
useful foundation for government-to-government consultation 
with tribal nations, it is silent or inadequate in several 
areas. Accordingly, the committee directs the Assistant 
Secretary of Defense for Energy, Installations and Environment 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by December 15, 2022, on how it will standardize best practices 
to improve government-to-government consultation with federally 
recognized tribes. The briefing shall include at a minimum the 
following:
    (1) an assessment of how to standardize practices across 
the military departments to include thresholds for when full-
time tribal liaison personnel or tribal and cultural resources 
personnel should be hired at installations;
    (2) best practices for meaningful, robust, and ongoing 
consultation with tribal nations;
    (3) best practices for effective consultation to include 
development of training for installation personnel engaged in 
government-to-government consultation with tribal nations; and
    (4) how Department of Defense Instruction 4710.02 can be 
improved to reflect these best practices and provide continuity 
across the military departments in practices, policies, 
training, and personnel who conduct government-to-government 
consultation with federally recognized tribes.

  Heat Casualty and Fatality Prevention in Army Initial Entry Training

    The committee remains concerned about the continued health 
risks posed to soldiers by heat casualties during training and 
related costs to the Department of Defense which have been 
reported to be up to $48 million annually. The committee notes 
with interest that the Special Operations Community has 
successfully leveraged the use of FDA approved oral rehydration 
solutions (ORS) to optimize solider performance and remarks 
that this practice could bring measurable benefits in the 
initial entry training setting within the larger Army and 
reduce the risk of heat-related casualties.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army, 
in consultation with the Army Surgeon General, to submit a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
March 1, 2023, on the efficacy of medically approved ORS for 
prevention of heat casualties in the initial entry training 
environment. The report should include details on any other 
benefits of ORS, including those related to cost savings, 
readiness, and soldier wellness. Furthermore, the committee 
encourages the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command to study 
potentially conducting a pilot program whereby medically 
approved ORS is provided to soldiers at the brigade level 
during the summer months to study the comparative benefits of 
the use of ORS versus water or sports drinks and track data on 
the prevention of heat casualties and hyponatremia.

                      Impact of Higher Fuel Prices

    The committee notes that in the days leading up to and 
following Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the prices of refined 
fuels used by the Department, including gasoline, diesel, JP-8, 
and others have more than doubled.
    The committee also notes that the Department is the world's 
single biggest institutional consumer of petroleum. The 
Committee is concerned that these significant price increases 
may limit the Department's ability to invest in important 
priorities including in modernization, personnel, and 
readiness.
    Accordingly, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 1, 2022 detailing the impacts increased fuel prices are 
having on the Department's ability to execute its missions in a 
cost effective manner, and the impacts increased fuel prices 
are having on the morale and purchasing power of military 
personnel and their families.

                     Installation Access Standards

    The committee notes that, over the past 15 years, the 
Congress has several times directed the Department of Defense 
to develop and update installation access standards that are 
applicable to all military installations in the United States 
and that the Department has issued multiple directives to 
satisfy these requirements. However, the committee is aware 
that access standard implementation can be inconsistent across 
installations, resulting in confusion for installation 
visitors. The committee notes that the Department of Defense in 
2019 issued the third volume of DOD Manual 5200.08, which 
establishes physical security access control standards, 
procedures, and guidance, and that a fourth volume is currently 
being developed. The committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence and Security to provide a briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services not later than December 
31, 2022, on access standard implementation across the 
Department. This briefing should include:
    (1) an update on the status of the fourth volume of DOD 
Manual 5200.08 and a description of its contents;
    (2) an assessment of the extent to which current access 
standards are being implemented consistently across Department 
of Defense installations; and
    (3) an assessment of the feasibility of issuing credentials 
for expedited access to the following categories of visitors: 
transportation workers, construction workers, motor carriers, 
members of labor organizations, and members of veterans service 
organizations.

       Next Generation Radio Frequency In-Transit Identification

    The committee recognizes the potential operational benefits 
of next-generation radio frequency in-transit identification 
transponders in providing improved shipment location 
information for the Department of Defense's global logistics 
enterprise. The committee also notes the investments already 
made by the Army in technologies to provide accurate and 
reliable asset management and in-transit visibility information 
through enhanced non-nodal automated movement solutions. The 
committee understands next generation technologies can increase 
transportation speed and efficiency while reducing cost and 
waste for the Department of Defense. Therefore, the House 
Committee on Armed Services directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing by March 1, 2023 on its plans to update 
radio frequency identification and in-transit visibility 
guidance and policies to maximize the use of next generation 
transponders.

       Noise Mitigation and Air Installation Compatible Use Zones

    The committee remains concerned about the impact of noise 
from military aviation training on communities surrounding 
military installations. The committee commends the Department 
of Defense for the work it has done thus far in assessing its 
existing Air Installations Compatible Use Zone (AICUZ) program 
in an effort to facilitate a sustainable noise mitigation 
program, but is concerned about the length of time it is taking 
to operationalize such a program. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by December 15, 2022, on the 
progress to date in revising the AICUZ program to facilitate 
the timely execution of a noise mitigation program for defense 
communities. The report shall include the following:
    (1) proposed revisions to Department of Defense Instruction 
4165.57 to make it more compatible with noise mitigation and 
insulation efforts;
    (2) the number of installations that host fixed-wing 
aircraft training that would require AICUZ revisions with 5 
years to accurately reflect fixed-wing training activities;
    (3) the percentage of installations with residences, 
schools, or hospitals within the zones that are at or exceed 
the 65 decibel (Db) day-night average;
    (4) of the facilities exceeding the 65 Db day-night 
average, the number that are located in accident potential 
zones;
    (5) the estimated cost of noise mitigation or noise 
insulation of these facilities;
    (6) opportunities for building community engagement and 
cooperation in adoption of AICUZ-compatible zoning and noise 
mitigation; and
    (7) the resources required to implement an effective and 
proactive noise program to include additional personnel needed 
at headquarters or installations.

                     PFAS Destruction Technologies

    The committee remains concerned about the safe destruction 
of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS)-containing 
investigation-derived wastes associated with cleanup activities 
in defense communities. The committee notes that the Department 
has conducted tests of on-site solutions that would destroy 
PFAS without incineration. The committee notes that some 
disposal technologies reportedly modify the characteristics of 
the waste such that it is no longer classified as hazardous 
waste and can be disposed of through more cost-effective mixed 
waste protocols. The committee contends that the rapid adoption 
of proven technologies that provide safe on-site PFAS 
destruction is essential to the Department of Defense's 
response to PFAS contamination. Accordingly, the committee 
directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
Sustainment to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services by December 15, 2022, on the progress in 
implementing on-site PFAS destruction technologies not 
requiring incineration. The briefing shall include the 
following:
    (1) list of technologies meeting the above criteria;
    (2) which of these technologies have undergone or are 
undergoing testing by the Environmental Security Technology 
Certification Program;
    (3) the results of any such testing; and
    (4) the promulgation of guidance and best practices to the 
military services on preferred methods for PFAS investigation-
derived wastes.

                       Procurement of Bison Meat

    The Committee understands that bison meat is a healthy and 
nutritional food choice that is also a sustainable American 
produced food source. The Committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense and the Service Secretaries to explore increasing 
procurement of bison meat, consistent with the Buy American 
Act, with the goal of procuring two million pounds of bison 
meat annually to promote bison as a healthy and sustainable 
food source and further treaty and trust responsibilities and 
Native American Agriculture. The Committee encourages the 
Secretary of Defense and the Service Secretaries to prioritize 
procurement of bison meat through contracts with Indian Tribes 
and tribal organizations and to explore the possibility of 
using the authority of the Buy Indian Act, 25 U.S.C. 47 in 
partnership with the Department of Interior to procure bison 
and other livestock products, crops, fresh fruit, and vegetable 
produce from Indian tribes and tribal organizations at a 
sustainable price. Therefore, the Committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Service by February 1, 2023 outlining 
opportunities to increase the procurement of bison meat and 
other agricultural products from Indian tribes and 
organizations.

    Promulgation of Guidance and Best Practices for PFAS Destruction

    The committee is aware that increased understanding of the 
potential health effects of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances 
(PFAS) exposure has led to a proliferation of technologies to 
address PFAS contamination. The committee notes that section 
341 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2022 (Public Law 117-81) created a Department of Defense task 
force to ensure continuity in PFAS-related policy across the 
military departments. The committee further notes that one of 
the duties of the PFAS task force is to coordinate efforts to 
mitigate the impacts of PFAS release and its associated 
contamination. The committee contends that the promulgation of 
guidance and best practices for PFAS destruction for use by all 
military departments will allow for greater efficiency, 
potentially decrease cost, and enhance defense community 
confidence in Department of Defense cleanup efforts.
    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 by January 
15, 2023, on the Department's progress in establishing the PFAS 
task force and its accomplishments to date. The briefing shall 
include the following:
    (1) an update on the progress in establishing the PFAS task 
force;
    (2) a discussion of the process by which the PFAS task 
force is executing its four statutory duties;
    (3) any and all contracting mechanisms available and in use 
for environmental remediation of PFAS; and
    (4) a discussion of the PFAS task force's work to 
standardize efforts across the military departments especially 
with respect to best practices for PFAS destruction and the 
contracting of environmental remediation services for PFAS.

                  Protecting against Tainted Dog Food

    The committee notes the substantial resources that go into 
the procurement and training of military working dogs. These 
canines perform essential duties for our Armed Forces, like 
search and rescue, explosive detection, tracking, and other 
tasks for which their innate attributes are a great benefit. 
However, the committee is also aware of past incidents where 
tainted pet food was imported into the United States and caused 
the death of numerous cats and dogs across the nation. The 
committee is concerned that similar incidents could occur in 
the future, thus putting at risk the readiness of our canine 
assets. The committee encourages the Department of Defense to 
monitor the quality of food that is being fed to military 
working dogs, keeping abreast of any notices from the Food and 
Drug Administration on food irregularities, and noting the 
origin of the food being consumed and whether those locations 
have a history of exporting harmful pet food products.

         Replacement of Fluorinated Aqueous Film Forming Foams

    The Fiscal Year 2020 National Defense Authorization Act 
prohibits the use of fluorinated AFFF on any military 
installation after October 1, 2024. Additionally, the Fiscal 
Year 2021 National Defense Authorization Act directed the 
Secretary of Defense to survey relevant technologies to phase 
out the use of fluorinated Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF). 
The Department of the Air Force indicated that Tier 1 
facilities, where loss of aircraft/assets serviced inside would 
result in mission failure, shall program replacement of 
existing fluorinated AFFF systems with one of the following 
specialized systems: Ignitable Liquid Drainage Floor Assembly, 
a Low Expansion Fluorine Free Foam System, or a High Expansion 
Fluorine Free Foam System. Tier 2 facilities would use an 
automatic water sprinkler system designed to provide life 
safety protection for occupants to evacuate the facility in the 
event of a fire. The Committee commends the Department of the 
Air Force for taking the lead on the risk assessment and 
publishing subsequent replacement guidance; however, the 
Committee notes the burdensome methodology by which facilities 
are to be designated as Tier 1 and Tier 2. Therefore, the 
Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by January 
31, 2023 on current efforts to replace fluorinated AFFF 
systems. The briefing should also include a list of expected 
Tier 1 and Tier 2 facilities.

Replacing the Army Combat Uniform with the Flame-Resistant Army Combat 
                                Uniform

    The committee is aware that funding and posture changes 
have resulted in a surplus of Flame-Resistant Army Combat 
Uniforms (FRACU), raising long-term industrial base concerns. 
Specifically, the committee is concerned that the industrial 
base would be challenged to return to full-scale production to 
restore this critical soldier protection capability once 
stagnated. At the same time, the committee has long supported 
expanding flame-resistant uniforms for all soldiers. In recent 
years, the committee is aware of new technologies to enhance 
the FRACU and reduce cost without sacrificing protection. For 
these reasons, the committee encourages the Army to consider 
replacing the Army Combat Uniform with the FRACU, making it an 
item of issue in the initial clothing bag. By doing this, the 
Army can reduce overall costs while equipping all soldiers with 
the FRACU. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of 
the Army to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by February 15, 2023, which would include a cost 
benefit and feasibility analysis for replacing the ACU with the 
new FRACU.

    Report on Mounted Assured Position Navigation and Timing Systems

    The committee is increasingly concerned about the scope and 
pace of the Army's efforts to procure and field assured 
positioning, navigation and timing (APNT) systems for its 
ground vehicle fleet. The committee understands that the Army 
faces a significant threat from challenges to global 
positioning system reception and trusted service in contested 
environments. The committee also understands that APNT is a 
high priority in the Army's modernization strategy. The 
committee notes the Army has procured more than 2,000 Mounted 
Assured PNT Systems (MAPS) in response to a 2019 operational 
need statements from U.S. combatant commands in Europe and the 
Indo-Pacific. The committee is concerned with the pace of the 
MAPS program of record and the Army's plan to broadly field 
APNT equipment across the military service's ground vehicle 
fleet. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Army to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services, not later than December 16, 2023, on the status of 
the MAPS program of record that that shall include:
    (1) technical performance of candidate systems and 
associated funding;
    (2) the overall plans and requirements to field Assured PNT 
solutions to the Army's vehicle fleet; and
    (3) plans to upgrade the current MAPS systems fielded today 
with an improved capability.

               Report on Plant-Based Meals, Ready-to-Eat

    The committee directs the Director of the Defense Logistics 
Agency, in coordination with the Secretaries of the military 
departments and the U.S. Army Natick Soldier Systems Center, to 
conduct a study determining demand amongst service members for 
meal, ready-to-eat plant-based meals and submit a report 
concerning a plan for providing ready-to-eat plant-based meals 
to service members not later than September 30, 2023, to the 
congressional defense committees. The term ``plant-based'' is 
defined as products without animal-derived products.
    The report shall include, at minimum:
    (1) the results of the study;
    (2) the feasibility and costs of providing a menu of more 
than two ready-to-eat plant-based meals; and
    (3) the proposed plan of the Director to provide plant-
based meals ready-to-eat to service members.

  Request a Report on the Department of Defense's Provision of Water 
       Alternatives to Communities Impacted by PFAS Contamination

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services by December 1, 
2022, outlining their plan to continue providing water 
alternatives to communities that have been determined to have 
levels of PFAS contamination above the Environmental Protection 
Agencies' (EPA) Lifetime Health Advisories released on June 15, 
2022. The report shall include at a minimum the following:
    (1) A list of installations that were previously classified 
as requiring ``no further action'' that will now need 
additional investigation;
    (2) A list of installations that have had previous PFOS 
and/or PFOA test results above 0 but less than 70ppt and the 
timeline and process by which those installations will be 
provided alterative water;
    (3) A description of additional guidance provided by the 
Department of Defense to the military departments for updating 
processes and procedures in response to the four new PFAS-
related health advisories issue on June 15, 2022;
    (4) A description of the Department's community engagement 
plans for impacted defense communities;
    (5) A description of any additional resources the 
Department needs to address the needs of communities impacted 
by PFAS contamination above the Environmental Protection 
Agencies' (EPA) new Lifetime Health Advisories; and
    (6) A description of testing methods and their associated 
levels of detection that are currently available to the 
department.

            Status Update on Castner Range Feasibility Study

    The Committee is monitoring the pace and scope of the 
Army's feasibility study to determine options and costs for 
cleanup of the Castner Range, a 7,081-acre area in northeast El 
Paso that is under consideration for being converted into 
public use. The Army used a large section of this land between 
1926 and 1966 as a live firing range. The Committee encourages 
the office of the Secretary of the Army to ensure timely 
completion of this feasibility study and, once the study is 
completed, to work with the Committee to identify and secure 
the resources needed to fulfill the Army's clean-up 
responsibilities. Therefore, the Committee directs the 
Secretary of the Army to provide a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by no later than December 1, 2022 
providing a status update on the ongoing feasibility study on 
Castner Range.

              The Edgewood Area of Aberdeen Proving Ground

    The committee is aware that Aberdeen Proving Ground has 
played a vital role in the development of modern weapon systems 
for over 100 years. The committee notes that as a result of 
this mission, it contains 63 remnant production plant slabs and 
inactive former laboratories that were part of Edgewood Arsenal 
before it was consolidated with Aberdeen Proving Ground. The 
committee is encouraged by Department of Defense actions to 
date to remove these contaminated facilities in the area now 
known as the Edgewood Area of Aberdeen Proving Ground. The 
committee notes that these actions include decommissioning, 
decontamination, and demolition of facilities through a phased 
approach under the Contaminated Building Demolition (CBD) 
Program. The committee encourages the Department to continue 
its work and complete these efforts in a timely fashion.

            Traffic Congestion around Military Installations

    The committee notes that there are significant traffic and 
commuting challenges onto, off, and around major installations 
including MacDill Air Force Base, Florida; Joint Base Lewis-
McChord, Washington; and other installations where surrounding 
communities have grown without accompanying infrastructure 
improvements. The committee further notes that while traffic 
impacts are often studied as part of environmental impact 
statements, absent a need for environmental planning changes, 
traffic patterns and saturation may go unstudied for years. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
February 1, 2023, on traffic congestion around certain 
installations experiencing significant traffic congestion. The 
report shall include at a minimum the following:
    (1) an assessment of traffic patterns and commuting 
challenges around MacDill Air Force Base, Joint Base Lewis-
McChord, and any traffic constrained installations belonging to 
the Navy or Marine Corps;
    (2) an assessment of whether the Defense Access Roads 
Program could help with traffic congestion;
    (3) the feasibility of non-road-based solutions, where 
appropriate, to include a floating ferry terminal;
    (4) a cost-benefit analysis of the various options for 
addressing traffic congestion;
    (5) an analysis of considerations for the various options 
including base security, timeline, and any other feasibility 
concerns;
    (6) an assessment of whether traffic demand management 
strategies such as public transit, van pools could be 
effectively employed; and
    (7) an assessment of the extent to which the Defense 
Community Infrastructure Program could be used to address 
traffic congestion issues.

                U.S. Army Adoption of Electric Aircraft

    The committee is aware of the Department of the Army's 
forward-leaning approach to adoption of electrifying its air 
platforms to meet utilitarian resupply and contested logistics 
missions. The committee is further aware that the Army is 
working with the Air Force's Agility Prime program to gain 
valuable lessons-learned to ensure quicker adoption of electric 
vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) capabilities in the Army 
air fleet. The committee is supportive of the Army's efforts to 
incorporate electric and hydrogen propulsion aircraft into its 
fleet, as well as adopting the necessary multimodal charging 
infrastructure that also supports the Army's electric ground 
platforms. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of 
the Army to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by March 31, 2023, on its plans for incorporating 
eVTOLs into the Army air fleet.

                      Unexploded Ordnance Disposal

    The committee remains concerned about the risks associated 
with unexploded ordnance, both to the military and civilian 
population. The age and condition of these munitions vary, and 
their integrity is further complicated by the environmental 
conditions in which they exist. For unexploded ordnance, 
difficult environmental conditions like underwater settings 
make transitioning them into a benign state a difficult task. 
More must be done to develop additional methods for 
demilitarizing unexploded munitions both on land and 
underwater, whether those methods be robotic units, high-
pressure waterjets, or non-kinetic means. The committee 
encourages continued research into developing innovative 
methods for unexploded ordnance disposal, as these technologies 
can be employed domestically and overseas to assist allies and 
partners.

       Use of Fitness Wearables to Measure and Promote Readiness

    The committee recognizes warfighter readiness remains an 
ongoing challenge. In recent years, the Department of Defense 
conducted several pilot programs to use wearable health and 
fitness trackers to measure individual and troop readiness. The 
committee previously requested a report regarding the benefits 
of wearable technology to improve readiness. Accordingly, the 
committee again directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
written report to the House Committee on Armed Services on the 
potential for wearable technology to improve readiness no later 
than March 1, 2023. The report shall at a minimum include the 
following:
    (1) An assessment of the potential for a Department of 
Defense-wide program to use wearable health and fitness 
trackers to provide the warfighter with key readiness metrics 
and scores, including activity levels, stress, sleep, heart 
rate variability, and oxygen saturation;
    (2) How aggregated data could be used to improve physical 
readiness programs;
    (3) What steps would be required to safeguard data and 
maintain privacy protections; and
    (4) What steps would be required to safeguard classified 
data in locations where wearables are being used.

               Use of Rubber Modified Asphalt Technology

    The committee is aware of recent advances in the use of 
rubber modified asphalt (RMA), a resilient pavement technology 
which incorporates ground tire rubber made from scrap tires 
into asphalt. The committee notes that RMA has the potential to 
deliver significant benefits in terms of pavement durability, 
economics, and environmental sustainability with a circular 
end-of-life market for scrap tires. Additionally, compared to 
traditional asphalt, RMA may help improve fuel economy, provide 
cost savings over the life of the asphalt, extend pavement 
life, and reduce maintenance activities, noise pollution, CO2 
emissions, and tire and road wear particles on military 
installations.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not 
later than March 1, 2023, on the environmental and economic 
benefits of using RMA technology on military installations. The 
report should include details on how to improve the 
functionality and sustainability of transportation routes 
across military installations as well as a study on initiating 
a pilot program within the Army to utilize RMA to construct 
roads on a domestic military installation. Furthermore, the 
Army is encouraged to consult with industry partners and the 
research community to assess the durability and economic 
feasibility of widescale deployment of RMA on domestic military 
installations.

   Using Innovative Technology in Indo-Pacific Training Exercises to 
                         Enhance Army Readiness

    The purposes of the Pacific Deterrence Initiative include 
carrying out a program of exercises, training, experimentation, 
and innovation for the joint force, and improving 
infrastructure, to enhance the responsiveness and resiliency of 
the United States Armed Forces. The committee recognizes that 
key to achieving this objective is the identification and 
deployment of enabling capabilities that will generate a more 
efficient, resilient, and sustainable force that can mitigate 
the tyranny of time and distance. While significant focus has 
remained on platforms and force posture in the region, 
incorporating innovative technologies can significantly reduce 
logistical challenges and operational costs. In addition, 
decreased dependence on products like bulk fuel and bulk water 
creates a more sustainable and resilient force in the region.
    Training exercises provide an opportunity to pilot new 
concepts of operation. The committee encourages the U.S. Army 
Pacific (USARPAC) to incorporate existing commercially 
available and military suitable innovative technologies into 
large-scale training exercises such as Pacific Defender. As 
such, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
February 15, 2023, about USARPAC plans, timelines, barriers, 
and required resources to begin incorporating commercially 
available innovative technologies to challenges like power 
storage, water production, and other activities essential to a 
deployed force within the Indo-Pacific and that can be 
incorporated into current training exercises.

              Subtitle C--Authorization of Appropriations

    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


                        Animal Cruelty Briefing

    While animal cruelty is a crime under military law, the 
committee is concerned about recent reports of animal cruelty 
at installations across the country. Animal abuse is never 
justified and is oftentimes a precursor to other types of 
crime, like domestic violence. Therefore, the committee directs 
the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House 
Armed Services Committee no later than January 30, 2023. This 
briefing should include details on how the Department tracks 
animal cruelty reports and what the Department is planning to 
do to deter this type of behavior amongst our servicemembers.

     Assignments to Ships Undergoing Refueling and Complex Overhaul

    The committee is alarmed by the seven deaths by suicide, 
and additional attempts, of sailors assigned to the USS GEORGE 
WASHINGTON, a carrier undergoing nuclear refueling and complex 
overhaul (RCOH). The deaths have brought attention to 
longstanding problems in the way that the Navy allocates 
manning to ships undergoing RCOH and supports their crews. The 
committee notes that, by the time that the GEORGE WASHINGTON 
finishes its RCOH availability, many first-term enlisted 
personnel will have spent the majority or entirety of their 
first enlistment on a ship in maintenance, with no opportunity 
to learn and perform their ratings, of which they will be 
expected to have considerable expertise in a subsequent sea-
duty assignment. The committee is concerned that this 
assignment practice is overly burdensome on individual sailors, 
who must labor under the challenging conditions of a shipyard 
for as long as 5 years, and fails to serve the development of 
individual sailors and the readiness needs of the Navy by 
advancing personnel who are unprepared for subsequent 
assignments. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of 
the Navy to submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services 
of the Senate and the House of Representatives by February 1, 
2023, addressing alternative approaches to manning ships 
undergoing RCOH, including:
    (1) the number of first-term enlisted sailors who were 
assigned to the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON for more than 2 years of 
its most recent RCOH availability,
    (2) the number of first-term enlisted sailors who were 
assigned to the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON for 4 or more years of 
its most recent RCOH availability,
    (3) for first-term enlisted sailors who were assigned to 
the USS GEORGE WASHINGTON during its most recent RCOH 
availability and did not have the opportunity to practice their 
rating, the Navy's plans for assigning and utilizing these 
sailors if they re-enlist,
    (4) a description of actions that the Navy has taken or 
plans to take to limit the duration of assignments of first-
term enlisted sailors to ships undergoing RCOH and to provide 
first-term enlisted sailors assigned to ships undergoing RCOH 
with opportunities, such as through temporary duty assignments, 
to learn and practice their rating,
    (5) a feasibility analysis of an alternative policy to 
limit assignments of first-term enlisted sailors to ships 
undergoing RCOH to no more than 2 years by splitting the term 
between two or more ships or by implementing a series of 
temporary duty assignments, or by other means,
    (6) a discussion of any barriers to implementing an 
alternative policy that would limit the time of first-term 
enlisted sailors aboard ships undergoing RCOH, including 
statutory restrictions, budgetary resources, undermanning, end 
strength, training systems, and any other relevant barriers, 
and
    (7) a projected timeline and estimated costs and benefits 
of implementing an alternative policy that would limit the time 
of first-term enlisted sailors aboard ships undergoing RCOH.

                      B-21 Total Force Integration

    The committee notes the success of the Total Force 
Integration models between the Air Force's 509th Bomb Wing and 
the Missouri National Guard's 131st Bomb Wing at Whiteman Air 
Force Base (AFB) and the Air Force Reserve Command 307th Bomb 
Wing at Barksdale and Dyess AFBs. The Total Force Integration 
model improves the Air Force's ability to conduct its mission 
through the sharing of resources between the Active Duty and 
the Reserve Components, including aircraft, crews, maintenance, 
training and support. The combined employment of manpower 
between the Active Duty and Reserve Components provides surge 
capacity and maximizes efficiency to ensure mission success.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the Committee on Armed Services 
of the House of Representatives not later than March 1, 2023, 
on the plans to pursue Total Force Integration with the B-21 
fleet. This briefing shall include an updated Air Force bomber 
roadmap and the Air Force's plans for the integration of the 
Guard and Reserve Component personnel in the organizational 
structure of the B-21 enterprise.

                      Cyber Mission Force Manning

    The committee understands the critical importance of the 
Cyber Mission Force to national security. Moreover, the 
committee understands the Cyber Mission Force is U.S. Cyber 
Command's action arm, and its teams execute the command's 
mission to direct, synchronize, and coordinate cyberspace 
operations in defense of U.S. national interests. The committee 
also understands that some of the military services have had 
challenges in recruiting and retaining service member personnel 
within their component of the Cyber Mission Force.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the Senate Committee on Armed Services 
and the House Committee on Armed Services not later than June 
1, 2023, that includes the following:
    (1) each military service's manning requirements in 2022, 
to include authorizations on hand for each Cyber Mission Force 
specialty. This should include historical analysis of the 
increases or decrease of the Cyber Mission Force since its 
inception in 2012;
    (2) an analysis of the accession and retention challenges 
to each military service's contribution to the Cyber Mission 
Force to include recommendations to mitigate these challenges;
    (3) an assessment of the training and education 
requirements to each military service's contribution to the 
Cyber Mission Force, to include an inventory of any 
certifications required;
    (4) an analysis of the competitive market forces affecting 
the accession and retention of service members in the Cyber 
Mission Force;
    (5) an assessment of the main drivers that lead cyber-
qualified service members to separate from the military;
    (6) recommendations on methods to attract and retain 
individuals for cyber-related positions to include pay and 
compensation, career intermission, education and training, 
reimbursement for certifications, training with industry, and 
any other recommendations that should be considered; and
    (7) the feasibility of a career, capability, and 
certification forum that would increase cyber career competency 
and career progression and potentially standardize 
certifications required for the cyber-related career fields in 
the military services.

Department of Defense Education Activity Compliance with Prohibition on 
                        Sex Based Discrimination

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense 
Education Activity is required to comply with title IX of the 
Education Amendments of 1972 (title IX). Section 562 of the 
John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2019 provided that the provisions of title IX with respect 
to education programs or activities receiving Federal financial 
assistance shall apply equally to education programs and 
activities administered by the Department of Defense Education 
Activity. While limited reviews have been completed, a full 
evaluation has not been conducted of the compliance of 
Department of Defense schools with the prohibition on sex-based 
discrimination in educational programs receiving Federal 
assistance.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to assess the Department of Defense's efforts 
to comply with Section 562 of the John S. McCain National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 pertaining to 
sex-based discrimination. The assessment shall include an 
analysis of:
    (1) the extent to which the Department of Defense ensures 
its policies and practices comply with the prohibition on sex-
based discrimination in educational programs established by 
title IX,
    (2) the education and training of administrators, title IX 
coordinators, and staff related to title IX's prohibition on 
sex-based discrimination,
    (3) the availability and quality of supportive measures and 
services provided to complainants,
    (4) the complaint record keeping, processing, dismissal 
requirements, and resolution related to title IX's prohibition 
on sex-based discrimination,
    (5) the policies and procedures intended to provide 
collaboration with military or civilian law enforcement 
agencies, and
    (6) any other matters the Comptroller General deems 
necessary.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
July 31, 2023, on preliminary findings and to present final 
results in a format and timeframe agreed to at the time of the 
briefing.

              Department of Defense Recruiting Challenges

    The committee remains concerned about the challenges the 
Department faces in recruiting candidates for military service 
in today's competitive environment. Furthermore, the committee 
notes that despite technological advances in the ability to 
engage with individuals through modern outreach strategies, the 
Military Services are limited in the type of data they can 
collect and the systems in which these records must be stored. 
The Services require reliable, comprehensive, and actionable 
data to engage with prospective recruits and the Department 
should consider ways to build upon its existing centralized 
recruitment resources (e.g., JAMRS) to allow utilization of 
data that could help improve overall recruitment at the Service 
level. The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services no 
later than March 1, 2023 on plans to revise policy limitations 
to bring secure and reliable commercial marketing processes to 
recruiting, including greater use of publicly available 
information.

  Diversity of Professional Military Education Faculty and Leadership

    The committee appreciates the Department of Defense's 
efforts to reform Professional Military Education (PME) to meet 
the needs and challenges highlighted within the National 
Defense Strategy. Members of the Armed Forces must be 
challenged by diversity of thought, experience, and academic 
rigor within the PME environment. However, the committee is 
concerned that lack of diversity amongst PME faculty and 
leadership may limit students' exposure to diverse perspectives 
concerning the challenges and environment in which we expect 
members of our Armed Forces to operate.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Personnel & Readiness to submit a report and 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
July 1, 2023, on the demographics and expertise of PME faculty 
and leadership. The briefing and report shall include relevant 
data, statistics, and information regarding PME faculty and 
leadership, with respect to each senior and intermediate-level 
service and joint school. The report shall include the 
following:
    (1) number and percentage of PME faculty and leadership by 
demographic data to include gender, race, and ethnicity;
    (2) number and percentage of PME faculty and leadership who 
are veterans;
    (3) number and percentage of PME faculty and leadership who 
are members of the Armed Forces, disaggregated by active and 
reserve components;
    (4) number and percentage of PME faculty and leadership, 
who are civilians with no previous military service;
    (5) number and percentage of PME faculty and leadership who 
hold advanced degrees, disaggregated by degree level and field 
of study;
    (6) an identification of potential or existing barriers 
that may prevent those with diverse backgrounds from serving as 
PME faculty or leadership;
    (7) recommendations to eliminate any barriers to 
diversification of PME faculty and leadership; and
    (8) any other information or recommendations the Secretary 
deems relevant.

                       DRL RC Duty Status Reform

    The Committee understands the consolidation of over 30 
Reserve Component duty statuses into at least four distinct 
categories should align pay and benefits to each category of 
work, providing parity and access across the joint force. 
Moreover, these actions are congruent with the Commission on 
the National Guard and Reserve commission of 2008 
recommendations. However, the legislative proposal that would 
accompany Reserve Component Duty Status reform seems stalled as 
it works its way through the Office of Management and Budget 
and the Department of Defense. Therefore, the Committee directs 
the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the Committee 
on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives, 
not later than December 1, 2022, on the status of the Reserve 
Component Duty Status Reform legislative proposal that would 
correlate pay and benefits with duty performed, while 
eliminating existing pay and benefits inequities between the 
Active Component and Reserve Component, to include any needed 
statutory changes in United States Code.

 Effectiveness of the Office of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation

    The committee understands the Office of Cost Assessment and 
Program Evaluation (CAPE) provides the Department of Defense 
analysis on resource allocation and cost estimation problems 
related to the delivery of an optimum portfolio of military 
capabilities through efficient and effective use of each 
taxpayer dollar. However, in some instances the role of CAPE 
has lacked transparency and proactive discussions with Congress 
on issues with major budgetary implications have been 
infrequent.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than January 1, 2023, that includes the following:
    (1) an overview of CAPE staffing to include military, 
civilian, and contractor personnel;
    (2) the cost of CAPE's operations, studies, and related 
programs;
    (3) the return on investment the Department receives for 
CAPE's program assessment capabilities and how those are 
measured;
    (4) the number of reviews and assessments the Department 
has completed on CAPE's performance both external to the 
Department if applicable and internal with any findings and 
recommendations over the last 20 years;
    (5) a historical assessment on whether CAPE projects have 
increased in scope and complexity over the last 20 years and 
whether there is a prioritization issue because of lack of 
resources;
    (6) a historical performance assessment of CAPE analysis 
relative to that produced by the military services in terms of 
the ability to accurately forecast future threats and 
requirements over the last 20 years;
    (7) a list of outreach engagements that CAPE has conducted 
with the Senate Committee on Armed Services and the House 
Committee on Armed Services over the last 5 years; and
    (8) a review of CAPE's internal reform efforts during the 
recent zero-based review.

    Establishment of Center for the Study of the U.S. National Guard

    The committee notes that the Army, Navy, Air Force, and 
Marines all have research centers and archives devoted to 
collecting and telling their histories, which results in 
outreach and educational programs, including the publication of 
official histories. These efforts are used to set planning 
paradigms for future wars and to remember the efforts of those 
services in past conflicts. The U.S. National Guard, despite 
its 300-year history of service in every American conflict, is 
the one major component of the armed forces without an archive 
and research center. Establishing a repository for National 
Guard documents, histories, oral histories, and other related 
materials in a research center that also serves as a think tank 
would facilitate the study of the National Guard and its 
history.
    The committee supports the establishment of a national 
Center for the Study of the U.S. National Guard. The committee 
believes such a center will help the Department of Defense 
study, improve, and institutionalize decisions about 
international strategy, deploying the National Guard overseas, 
and will continue to write the history of our brave National 
Guard men and women into the epic of America at war.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the congressional defense committees by 
February 1, 2022 on the feasibility of establishing a Center 
for the Study of the National Guard at an academic institution, 
the barriers to establishing such a center, and the timeline 
for establishing the Center. The report should include 
recommendations for the location of the proposed center, with 
special consideration to academic centers that have 
relationships with the National Guard Bureau, strong academic 
programs in military history, and proximity to major National 
Guard installations.

  Feasibility of College Degrees Conferred by the Defense Information 
                                 School

    The committee notes the Defense Information School (DINFOS) 
provides an adaptable curriculum, instructional methods, and 
technology training to equip servicemembers and Department of 
Defense civilians to compete and win in an increasingly complex 
information environment. Accordingly, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2023, on the 
feasibility of the Defense Information School conferring 
associates, bachelors, and master's degrees in communication 
studies, as appropriate, to graduates of the Defense 
Information School's Public Affairs and Communication Strategic 
Qualification Course. The briefing shall include, at a minimum:
    (1) An assessment of the resources and curriculum changes 
required to gain the accreditation needed for the Defense 
Information School to confer higher education degrees.
    (2) An assessment of the process and curriculum changes 
required for the Defense Information School to confer an 
associates of communication studies degree to military members 
or Department of Defense civilians who entered into the Public 
Affairs and Communication Strategic Qualification Course 
without a bachelor's degree.
    (3) An assessment of the process and curriculum changes 
required for the Defense Information School to confer a 
bachelor's of communication studies degree to military members 
or Department of Defense civilians who entered into the Public 
Affairs and Communication Strategic Qualification Course 
already holding an associate's degree.
    (4) An assessment of the process and curriculum changes 
required for the Defense Information School to confer a masters 
of communication studies degree to military members or 
Department of Defense civilians who entered into the Public 
Affairs and Communication Strategic Qualification Course 
already holding a bachelors degree.
    (5) What, if any, legislative changes would be required to 
facilitate the ability of the Defense Information School to 
confer higher education degrees to graduates of the Public 
Affairs and Communication Strategic Qualification Course.
    (6) Any barriers implementing a program for the Defense 
Information School to confer higher education degrees the 
Secretary of Defense deems relevant.

GAO Review of Military Justice Criminal Litigation Resourcing, Manning, 
                    Training, and Career Progression

    The military services' Judge Advocate General's (JAG) Corps 
provide new lawyers the opportunity to practice law in a wide 
variety of assignments and to gain a significant amount of 
trial experience earlier in their career than their private 
sector counterparts. However, the committee is concerned about 
the extent to which the services' current approach to training 
and managing judge advocates helps ensure that they are 
optimally positioned to meet the increasingly complex legal 
demands of today's military justice practice.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to review the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and 
Air Force training, resourcing, and management of Active Duty 
JAG military justice practitioners. The review should address 
the following elements:
    (1) the structure and assignment process for the military 
services' military justice litigation positions, including 
defense counsel, trial counsel, special trial counsel, and 
military judges;
    (2) the type and content of training required for and 
provided to all military justice litigators as they progress 
throughout their career;
    (3) the amount and type of experience, if any, required for 
military justice litigators prior to assignment as defense 
counsel, trial counsel, special trial counsel, and military 
judge;
    (4) the degree to which each military service utilizes a 
military justice career track or other related career 
progression management tool for judge advocates; and
    (5) the extent to which the Department of Defense and the 
military services have addressed the manning, resourcing, 
training, and career progression requirements for special trial 
counsel established in section 824a of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81).
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 31, 2023, with the Comptroller General's preliminary 
findings and present final results in a format and timeframe 
agreed to at the time of the briefing.

               Gaps in Writings on National Guard History

    The committee acknowledges that the history of the National 
Guard is rich and complex, and that many areas remain to be 
explored by historians. The committee encourages and supports 
collaboration between historians and the History Office of the 
National Guard Bureau to help preserve its unique history. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Chief of the National 
Guard Bureau to provide a report to the House Armed Services 
Committee by March 1, 2023, that lists any identified gaps in 
the existing cannon of National Guard history to better enable 
historians' efforts to more holistically document the past.

             Gold Star Family Notifications and Definition

    The committee sincerely appreciates the sacrifices of the 
Gold Star families that have faced loss due to a loved one's 
death in the line of duty while serving in the United States 
military. The committee understands that some of these families 
may desire further contact with a unit or command with which 
their loved ones served.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than January 31, 2023, that addresses the following:
    (1) any challenges on establishing a Department of Defense 
next-of-kin database;
    (2) a rough order of magnitude on what a potential database 
may cost and how long it would take to put in place;
    (3) the feasibility of offering an opt-in option for next 
of kin desiring further contact with units, commands, and 
military organizations;
    (4) the feasibility and implications of defining Gold Star 
to exclusively refer to survivors of service members killed as 
a result of enemy action as defined in section 1126 of title 
10, United States Code; and
    (5) any other recommendation or policy changes that should 
be considered with the potential establishment of a next-of-kin 
database and further refining the definition of the term ``Gold 
Star.''

Implementation Action Plan of U.S. Special Operations Command Diversity 
                      and Inclusion Strategic Plan

    The committee recognizes that U.S. Special Operations 
Command (USSOCOM) has taken steps to improve diversity and 
foster greater inclusivity within the command. Although the 
Diversity and Inclusion Strategic Plan 2021 and the 
Implementation Action Plan for fiscal year 2022-23 are a 
positive sign, USSOCOM continues to struggle both to broaden 
its force and to deepen its talent pool based on all types of 
experiences, skills, and perspectives. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Commander, USSOCOM to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by March 31, 2023, on the 
results of the Implementation Action Plan. The briefing should 
include best practices the command has instituted to strengthen 
diversity and inclusion into the organizational climate and 
culture, as well as partnering with the service components to 
increase diversity in recruiting. The briefing shall also 
include a discussion on efforts to partner with civilian 
organizations with expertise in these areas.

        Increasing the Talent Pool of Aviators for the Air Force

    The committee recognizes the lack of diversity among 
aviators in the Air Force and the long-term national security 
implications of a diminishing pool of qualified aviators. 
Reaching beyond the existing talent pool to find new pilots by 
using resources like Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) is 
critical to recruitment and readiness for the Air Force. 
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 28, 2023, on how the Air Force can 
engage with MSIs on developing innovative programs aimed at 
recruiting and training future pilots.

                  Individual Ready Reserve Management

    The committee understands that Individual Ready Reserve 
(IRR) management was one of the leading issues from the Reserve 
Forces Policy Board's 2020, ``Improving the Total Force 
Report.'' The committee also understands the 200,000 service 
members in the Individual Ready Reserve constitute roughly one-
fifth of the U.S. military's Selected Reserve. Members of the 
IRR have previously served on Active Duty or in drilling 
Reserve units and are serving out the remainder of their 
military service obligation. They are a body of trained 
soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen who can be mobilized in 
the event of emergency or war. However, the Department of 
Defense struggles to maintain current contact information for 
members of the IRR despite annual ``muster'' requirements. In 
2004, as the Army attempted to mobilize members of the IRR in 
support of Operation Iraqi Freedom, it found that it had 
impartial or incorrect contact information for 40,000 of 
114,000 IRR members. These issues have continued and span the 
military services. The Army has 77,454 IRR members and it lacks 
phone numbers for 10,740 and emails for 55,569. Only 33 percent 
of IRR members comply with requests to update contact 
information and attend mandatory musters. Only 20-30 percent of 
the Navy's IRR members respond to the annual screening 
questionnaire. The Marine Corps only screen contact information 
for 55-60 percent of their population via email, phone, or text 
annually. The Air Force makes contact with approximately 44 
percent of its IRR members each year.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Secretaries of the military 
departments, to provide a report to the Senate Committee on 
Armed Services and the House Committee on Armed Services, not 
later than March 1, 2023, on the plan to ensure the Department 
of Defense and the military services are maintaining and 
updating IRR service member contact information on a frequent 
basis, the requirements to provide the best technological 
solution for the services, the security risks, costs, and 
timeline to include the potential benefits of a commercial 
portal option.

           Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Wing Defenders

    The committee notes the critical role that U.S. Air Force 
security forces play in ensuring the safety and security of 
U.S. intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) fields at the 
90th Missile Wing at F.E. Warren Air Force Base, Wyoming; the 
341st Missile Wing at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana; and 
the 91st Missile Wing at Minot Air Force Base, North Dakota. 
This important mission will continue as missile fields 
transition from the Minuteman III to the Sentinel. The 
committee is concerned that ICBM defenders do not have the best 
equipment and facilities to carry out their mission safely and 
effectively. In particular, the committee is concerned about 
potential safety issues associated with operating the vehicles 
that are provided to defenders in the challenging environment 
of a missile field as well as the limitations of the training 
facilities available at each missile wing.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force, in coordination with the 90th Missile Wing, the 341st 
Missile Wing, and the 91st Missile Wing, to provide a briefing 
to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
February 1, 2023, on the current and future ICBM defender 
mission.
    The briefing shall address issues including but not limited 
to:
    (1) an assessment of the current and projected personnel 
requirements associated with the defender mission at the 
missile wings, including how requirements will change during 
and after the transition from Minuteman III to Sentinel;
    (2) an assessment of safety concerns related to the 
vehicles that defenders are and will be required to operate and 
whether there are alternative vehicles, or mixed fleet options, 
that would allow defenders to more safely perform their 
mission;
    (3) a review of the Department of Defense Directive on 
``Security Policy for Protecting Nuclear Weapons'' and whether 
the requirements that it levies on the equipment used by 
defenders are necessary; and
    (4) an assessment of the adequacy of training for 
defenders, including whether defenders have the necessary 
facilities to conduct required training.

                     Joint Assignment Credit Reform

    The committee appreciates that Department of Defense 
Instruction 1300.19 (Department of Defense Joint Officer 
Management (JOM) Program) recognizes certain civilian 
experiences and other assignments that have relevance to joint 
matters as applicable for joint duty assignment credit. 
However, the current process for officers to apply for and 
receive joint credit from valuable civilian or military 
experiences carrying out duties pertaining to national military 
strategy, multi-service acquisitions, or integrated force 
operations, is lengthy and requires approval from the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness through the 
Combined Joint Chiefs of Staff. The lengthy time for this 
process and lack of standardization for which of these 
experiences meet the criteria for joint matters as defined in 
section 668 of title 10, United States Code, and section 6, 
Department of Defense Instruction 1300.19, can hinder officer 
career advancement and prevent uniquely qualified officers from 
obtaining positions that require a joint qualified officer 
designation.
    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 House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than March 1, 2023, on whether a policy should be 
established to provide a O-8 in a service member's chain of 
command (Active or Reserve Component) the authority to approve 
joint experiences for joint duty assignment credit, provided 
that all documentation is submitted in accordance with 
Department of Defense Instruction 1300.19 and that the 
experience meets the statutory definition of joint matters in 
chapter 38 of title 10, United States Code.

      Joint Staff Congressional Requests for Information Staffing

    The committee is concerned about extended delays in 
staffing by the Joint Staff in processing requests for 
information from Members of Congress with direct oversight 
responsibilities of the Department of Defense, including the 
Joint Staff. Therefore, the committee directs the Chairman of 
the Joint Chiefs of Staff to submit a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than April 1, 2023, on 
the processes, procedures, regulations, directives, measure of 
effectiveness, and timelines that govern the staffing of 
requests for information from Members of Congress.

            Marine Corps Reserve Joint Officer Qualification

    The committee understands the value of joint qualification 
for general and flag officers across the military. Moreover, 
the committee strongly supports the requirement for joint 
qualified officers to be educated, trained, and experienced in 
joint matters to enhance the joint warfighting capability and 
lethality of the United States through a heightened awareness 
of joint requirements, including multi-service, interagency, 
international, and non-governmental perspectives.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Commandant of the 
Marine Corps to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than February 1, 2023, that provides 
the plan for a general officer of the Marine Corps Reserve to 
be designated as a joint qualified officer and how that plan 
will be sustained over time.

                     Military Recruiting Challenges

    The committee recognizes the Defense Department's work to 
identify current challenges faced across the recruiting mission 
and commends the Department's initiative to improve outreach to 
the parents, teachers, and coaches of potential service 
members. Recent information provided to the committee confirms 
that the Department is closely monitoring societal trends by 
employing a variety of analytic tools and remains focused on 
ways to attract high-quality youth to ensure an effective all-
volunteer force. The committee also notes the important role of 
the Joint Advertising, Market Research & Studies program and 
enhanced media outreach campaigns dedicated to increasing the 
number of recruitment-eligible individuals who consider 
military service as a career option. However, despite these 
efforts, the committee understands that meeting end strength 
goals and sustaining a robust pipeline of quality recruits 
remains a challenge for each of the military services. The 
committee is also concerned about the potential negative 
impacts on recruiting absent sustained funding for recruiting 
and multi-year media outreach. Therefore, the committee directs 
the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by March 31, 2023 on military 
recruiting challenges including societal trends effecting the 
propensity for military service, a recommended recruiting and 
media outreach strategy to meet recruiting goals; and a multi-
year estimate of recruiting and marketing resource requirements 
needed to implement this strategy.

         National Guard and Reserve Community Outreach Program

    The committee understands the importance of community 
engagement for all components of the military. The committee 
also acknowledges the recommendation from the National 
Commission on Military, National, and Public Service to improve 
military outreach around the country. Expanded community-
building efforts, including greater access to military bases 
and facilities via public tours, partnerships between National 
Guard and Reserve units and local schools, and enhanced 
promotion of military service by Members of Congress, will 
significantly increase engagement between the military and the 
broader American public, shatter myths, and provide a new 
generation of Americans with firsthand information about 
military life. Moreover, recent data from the Department of 
Defense indicates the propensity to serve for young adults has 
declined over the last 10 years.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Director of the National Guard Bureau, 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 1, 2023, that includes the following:
    (1) ongoing National Guard and service Reserve Component 
outreach efforts in local communities and whether these efforts 
are codified as programs of record;
    (2) any targeted recruiting efforts in underrepresented 
markets in terms of geographic location, academic institutions, 
fields of study, and other segments of the population eligible 
for recruitment;
    (3) activities that build awareness and potential 
recruitment opportunities of the military in local communities;
    (4) partnership activities with school districts, schools, 
and community service organizations that would help build 
enduring relationships in the local community;
    (5) the cost of these outreach efforts, activities, and 
programs, to include those that have dedicated funding over the 
Future Years Defense Plan; and
    (6) recommendations from the Department of Defense, 
National Guard, and service Reserve Components on steps needed 
to improve local community outreach efforts intended to build 
awareness of the military and positively increase the 
propensity to service to include funding, personnel, policy, 
and legislation.

               National Guard Federal Tuition Assistance

    The committee notes the challenges with approving and 
disbursing Federal Tuition Assistance funding since the 
adoption of the new Army Educational Services system 
ArmyIgnitED, in March 2021. Despite the committee's requests 
for additional information and an expedited resolution, the 
system has still not reached full functionality. National Guard 
and Reserve Component service members, who are more likely to 
be enrolled in college while serving, are disproportionally 
impacted by these challenges.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 1, 2023, that includes an evaluation of:
    (1) whether it is feasible to permit States to administer 
and disburse Federal Tuition Assistance funding for National 
Guard and Reserve Component service members;
    (2) how the Secretary plans to mitigate the backlog of 
tuition assistance requests while making sure that service 
members are not disadvantaged;
    (3) how the States would have the ability to approve 
requests for obligations that are verified by the educational 
services support personnel and the respective educational 
institutions; and
    (4) if States could be granted the option to opt-in or opt-
out of using the ArmyIgnitED system for requesting, approving, 
and disbursing Federal Tuition Assistance funding.

            National Guard State Active Duty Missions Report

    The committee is interested in the effect of State Active 
Duty missions on overall readiness and availability of the 
National Guard in the event of the need for title 32, United 
States Code, or title 10, United States Code, activation of a 
National Guard unit. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the House Committee 
on Armed Services not later than January 31, 2023, detailing 
how the Department of Defense evaluates the readiness, 
retention, and other factors of National Guard readiness in 
light of the requirement to support State Active Duty missions.

                       National Guard War College

    The committee acknowledges the importance of joint 
professional military education for National Guard personnel. 
Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 1, 2023, on the feasibility of establishing a National 
Guard War College. The briefing shall include, at a minimum, 
the roles, mission, organization, budget, curriculum, possible 
campus locations, student body composition to include 
interagency/international students, and requirements 
validation.

                    National Guard-Coast Guard Board

    The committee notes the important contributions of the 
National Guard and the Coast Guard to the Joint Force. 
Accordingly, the committee directs the Chief of the National 
Guard Bureau, in consultation with the Commandant of the U.S. 
Coast Guard, to provide a report to the House Committee on 
Armed Services by March 1, 2023, on the feasibility of 
establishing a National Guard-Coast Guard Board. The report 
shall include, at a minimum: the roles, mission, organization, 
membership, frequency of meetings, and matters of concern to 
the National Guard or Coast Guard.

    Organic Software Engineering Capability in the Military Services

    The committee understands the Department of Defense has 
taken initial steps to recruit, train and retain Active Duty 
service members with the requisite software development, data 
analytics, and cybersecurity skills needed to fight on the 
modern battlefield. However, given the competitive labor 
market, particularly for those possessing technical skills, the 
military services must leverage the existing Active Force by 
re-training service members who are interested in transitioning 
to these specialties. There is significant interest among the 
Active Force for this type of training. The committee believes 
the best way for the military services to grow an organic 
coding capability is to incentivize participation, ensure 
service members who complete the training work in their chosen 
field, and ensure that those in the program remain competitive 
for promotion. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary 
of Defense in coordination with the Secretaries of the Military 
Departments to provide a report to the Committee on Armed 
Services of the House of Representatives, not later than April 
1, 2023, on whether they intend to establish a comprehensive 
strategy for how they will grow an organic coding capability, 
drawing on Active Duty service members who have the knowledge 
and expertise to securely and rapidly deliver resilient 
software capability to support the modern battlefield. 
Furthermore, the committee would like to understand how the 
military services are leveraging live, interactive, multi-week 
courses to provide the knowledge and foundation needed to learn 
software development and coding capabilities.

                  Preservation of the Force and Family

    The committee notes the continued commitment of the United 
States Special Operations Command to the Preservation of the 
Force and Family (POTFF) initiative and supports its mission to 
improve the readiness and resilience of special operations 
force (SOF) servicemembers and families. While anecdotal 
evidence exists to indicate POTFF programs are having a 
positive mission impact on operator performance in the 
physical, psychological, and cognitive domains, the committee 
is aware that POTFF impacts in the family, social and spiritual 
domains are less apparent and more difficult to measure beyond 
basic physiological health monitoring. The committee is also 
aware that POTFF has not developed comprehensive, software-
driven assistive technologies to enable and support operator 
and family access to health and wellness resources programs 
while facilitating effective program management across the SOF 
enterprise. The committee believes that applied technologies 
will be required to maximize and focus future POTFF investments 
and urges USSOCOM to explore development of a digital platform 
prototype to extend operator and family access to POTFF 
resources and program across all domains. The committee directs 
the Commander, United States Special Operations Command, to 
brief the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2023 on 
the POTFF program. This briefing shall include:
    (1) a description of POTFF programs in each domain by 
component;
    (2) program utilization statistics for servicemembers and 
families by component;
    (3) assessed effectiveness in each POTFF domain;
    (4) a plan to leverage commercial innovation technologies 
to develop a digital platform to improve performance, access 
and delivery of POTFF programs to SOF servicemembers and 
families;
    (5) recommendations for future POTFF program development; 
and
    (6) other matters which the commander believes are 
important for the committee to understand.

   Protecting Military Service Members from Online Sexual Harassment

    Military service members should be free to operate in an 
environment that is free of discrimination, sexual assault, 
sexual harassment, bullying and other behaviors that detract 
from successful mission accomplishment.
    A 2018 workplace and gender relations survey conducted by 
the Department of Defense found that online sexual harassment 
accounts for 30% of sexual harassment incidents, affecting 
junior members at higher rates. This includes the unwanted and 
often repeated sending of lewd images of oneself to another 
person and requests for the same. This behavior negatively 
affects female servicemembers at higher rates and research data 
finds a strong correlation between experiencing sexual 
harassment with a significantly higher likelihood of sexual 
assault.
    The committee is concerned that the Uniform Code of 
Military Justice does not properly address the unsolicited and 
unwanted distribution of and requests for intimate images 
through electronic transmission. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
Military Justice Review Panel, conduct a review to amend the 
Uniform Code of Military Justice to include provisions that 
specifically address online sexual harassment and provide a 
report to the House Armed Services Committee by June 1, 2023.

                  Public Service at Military Academies

    The committee believes that fostering closer ties between 
civilian and military service is important for cross-agency 
collaboration and effectively carrying out the national 
security mission at the Department of Defense. Expanding civil 
service training opportunities will help to fill the numerous 
civilian and career placements to ensure that the Department 
has the employees it needs to continue to innovate and achieve 
its objectives. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary 
of Defense to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than June 1, 2023, detailing what would be 
needed to implement a public service cadet program at each 
military service academy. Such a program would provide a path 
for civilians interested in a career in Federal service similar 
to that of Reserve Officers' Training Corps and military 
academy prospects. Upon graduation, cadets from the Federal 
service program would be required to serve for 5 years in the 
Federal Government in a civilian capacity. The program will 
help bridge the divide between civil and military servants.
    The report shall include, but not be limited to, a study of 
the funding necessary to create the program, impacts on current 
enrollment of cadets at military academies, resources needed 
for recruitment, and expected outcomes for the Department's 
investment in civil service recruitment.

    Recruitment and Retention Incentives within Cyber Career Fields

    The committee recognizes that the military services face 
strong competition from the private sector in attracting and 
retaining individuals with critical skills, particularly within 
the cyber domain. The private sector has an advantage of 
offering superior pay, a more casual work environment, and 
better opportunities than the military services, to name a few. 
To mitigate the monetary advantage, the military services have 
offered incentive bonuses to retain cyber talent, however, it 
is unclear whether monetary bonuses have been effective and if 
other incentive options may be more appealing to the workforce.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Defense, in coordination with each of the military services' 
Active and Reserve Components, to submit a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than December 31, 2022, 
on the use of recruitment and retention bonuses paid, and other 
incentives provided, to individuals in cyber career tracks in 
order to formulate a better appraisal of the incentive 
structures necessary for the military to remain competitive in 
attracting such individuals and ensure that service branches 
are fully utilizing the incentives at their disposal. The 
report should focus on bonuses within the last ten years and 
should incorporate Active Duty, Reserve, and National Guard in 
its assessment.

      Report on Establishment of a National Guard Ranger Battalion

    The committee recognizes that the National Guard has been 
employed as an operational reserve force, with requirements to 
fulfill many of the same mission sets as the Active Component. 
The National Guard maintains two Special Forces Groups as a 
relief for the Active Component's Special Forces Groups. The 
creation of a Ranger Battalion for the National Guard would 
provide much needed dwell time for the Active 75th Ranger 
Regiment units, while increasing readiness and capacity of the 
nation's premier light infantry unit. As such, the committee 
directs the Secretary of the Army to submit a report to the 
House Committee on Armed Services, not later than March 1, 
2023, assessing the feasibility of establishing a Ranger 
battalion in the National Guard, including the required 
resources and timeline for activating the unit. Additionally, 
the report should also assess the feasibility of the Army 
National Guard and the 75th Ranger Regiment allowing physically 
and mentally qualified service members within the National 
Guard to apply for the Ranger Assessment and Selection Program.

Report on Feasibility of Remotely Piloted Aircraft Crew Preservation of 
                   the Force and Family Pilot Program

    The committee continues to be concerned about the health 
and welfare of remotely piloted aircraft crews who are actively 
supporting combat operations from domestic locations and their 
access to a program directly comparable to the U.S. Special 
Operations Command (USSOCOM) Preservation of the Force and 
Family (POTFF) program. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Chief of Staff of the U.S. Air Force to submit a report to the 
House Committee on Armed Services not later than April 1, 2023, 
that:
    (1) determines the health and welfare needs of the remotely 
piloted aircraft crews engaged in direct support of combat 
operations;
    (2) assesses the services offered to special operations 
personnel under the USSOCOM Preservation of the Force and 
Family program and develop a plan to offer comparable services 
and facilities to eligible service members;
    (3) works collaboratively with USSOCOM to understand the 
intent of the POTFF program and lessons learned from 
implementation in USSOCOM to determine applicability to the 
remotely piloted aircraft aircrew community; and
    (4) contains an assessment of the need and feasibility of 
such a program and the cost of establishment.

  Report on National Guard Activations to Support Domestic Operations

    The committee directs the Chief of the National Guard 
Bureau to submit a report to the Committee on Armed Service of 
the House of Representatives by March 31, 2023, on the domestic 
operations missions supported by National Guard activations.
    This report should include the funding and the Military 
Personnel Appropriation man-days broken out by fiscal year and 
cover the period from FY2013 through FY2022. It should include 
all Title 32 orders and any Title 10 orders that support 
domestic operations, like supporting border security along the 
southwest border. For activations under Title 10 and Title 32 
Section 502(f), the break out of mission sets should include 
details on the activity performed. For example, any activation 
related to COVID-19 response should include what the national 
guard member was doing, which might include support to testing 
or vaccination efforts, airport screening, substitute teaching, 
driving buses, or staffing nursing homes.

              Report on Navy End Strength Request Process

    The committee remains concerned that persistent shortfalls 
in the required number of personnel on board Navy ships poses 
risks to the safe and effective operation of ships and 
submarines. The committee is encouraged by the Navy's efforts 
to address these shortfalls through ongoing improvements to its 
end strength request process. The committee directs the Chief 
of Naval Operations to submit a report to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
not later than February 1, 2023, on the process and any 
changes. The report should include the following elements:
    (1) the results of the Navy-wide review and refinement of 
mission requirements;
    (2) changes to the Manpower Requirements Determination 
process, and improvements to fleet and shore manpower modeling 
capabilities;
    (3) assessments of unfunded manpower requirements and long-
term gapped billets, the resources required for filling them, 
and feasible timeframes for doing so;
    (4) the actions taken to implement and optimize personnel 
distribution processes; and
    (5) the status of personnel fit and fill by unit using 
manpower requirements.

  Report on Negative Impacts of Delayed Reimbursements for Government 
                                 Travel

    The Travel and Transportation Reform Act of 1998 requires 
members of the department of defense use the government travel 
card for all authorized expenses relating to official 
government travel, to include permanent change of station 
expenses. Military services may further restrict and define 
this policy. The committee is concerned delays in reimbursement 
for mandatory travel expenses have negative impacts on service 
members credit ratings.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Defense Finance and Accounting Services, 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than May 1, 2023, on the processing time for 
reimbursement of travel pay vouchers. The services shall 
include the number of members who have been negatively impacted 
by delayed reimbursement of government travel payments to 
include impact on credit reporting due to mandatory use of the 
government travel card.

 Report on Providing DD214 or Equivalent Legal Documents to Members of 
       the Reserve and National Guard at the End of their Service

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
report to House Armed Services Committee regarding a plan to 
provide separating or retiring National Guard or Reserve 
servicemembers a DD214 or equivalent legal document no later 
than October 15, 2023. This report must outline the plan to 
expand DD214 access to separating members of the Reserves or 
National guard from the Marine Corps, Army, Navy, Air Force, or 
Space Force. The report must also outline any alternate 
document that would be issued instead of a DD214, to include a 
servicemembers final pay or substantial part of that pay, final 
rank, and time in service.

    Report on Sharing of Information on Domestic Violence Incidents

    The committee notes that the Incident Determination 
Committees established at military installations are 
responsible for reviewing reported incidents of domestic 
violence and determining whether such incidents constitute 
serious harm to the victim according to the applicable criteria 
of the Department of Defense.
    The committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by May 1, 2023, reviewing the policies and regulations 
governing the Incident Determination Committees and incident 
determination notification letters. The review should address 
the following elements:
    (1) how incident determination letters are used by 
commanders;
    (2) if, and to what extent, incident determination letters 
are used by subjects and victims; and
    (3) recommendations on how the process could be improved.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 31, 2023, on the Comptroller General's preliminary 
findings.

     Reserve Officers' Training Corps Programs at Hispanic Serving 
                              Institutions

    The committee notes the importance of the Reserve Officers' 
Training Corps (ROTC) and the potential need to increase the 
number of ROTC programs offered at Hispanic Serving 
Institutions. This increase in ROTC detachments will help 
increase the opportunity of Hispanics from currently 
underserved minority institutions to serve and assist in 
increasing the diversity of military officers, which will 
present the opportunity to increase diversity in high-ranking 
leadership positions. Visibly increasing access to ROTC 
programs for Hispanic youth will result in an increase of 
Hispanics in the officer corps. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the 
Committee on Armed Service of the House of Representatives not 
later than March 1, 2023, that includes an assessment of:
    (1) The feasibility of expanding the ROTC program to 
Hispanic Serving Institutions.
    (2) The number of institutions qualifying as Hispanic 
Serving.
    (3) The number of Hispanic Serving Institutions that 
qualify for an ROTC program.
    (4) The cost of such an expansion to Hispanic Serving 
Institutions.
    (5) The estimated total throughput of qualifying 
institutions.
    (6) Any other elements that the Secretary deems relevant.

      Special Forces Transition from Active Duty to Reserve Units

    The committee recognizes the unique qualifications 
possessed by U.S. Army Special Forces service members, who 
undergo years of tactical, irregular warfare, medical, culture, 
and language training. The committee believes it is essential 
to retain these unique qualifications in both the Active Duty 
and the National Guard. To mitigate retention challenges within 
the Army Special Forces community and maintain as many of these 
highly skilled individuals in the Army, the committee believes 
a formal transition program between the Active Duty and 
National Guard Special Forces should be instituted. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Secretary of the Army to submit a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
April 1, 2023, outlining a plan to transition Active Component 
Special Forces service members more seamlessly, who plan to end 
their Active Duty term of service, to the 19th and 20th Special 
Forces Group in the National Guard. The report should consider 
the feasibility of maintaining National Guard liaison officers 
within 1st Special Forces Command who are able to coordinate 
the transition of exiting Active Component Special Forces 
service members to the Special Forces Groups in the National 
Guard. The report should also examine possible incentives for 
transferring to the National Guard vice the Inactive Ready 
Reserve, and the net cost of providing these incentives to 
exiting Active Component Special Forces service members, 
compared to the cost of onboarding and training new Special 
Forces service members into the National Guard.

 Study and Report on the Use of the Vessel Exception under the Uniform 
                        Code of Military Justice

    The committee notes that Article 15, Uniform Code of 
Military Justice (UCMJ), which authorizes non-judicial 
punishment, states that the right to demand a trial by court-
martial does not apply to a member who is attached to or 
embarked on a vessel. The committee directs the Comptroller 
General of the United States to review the Department of the 
Navy's use of the vessel exception and policies related to 
legal review of non-judicial punishment. The review should 
address the following elements:
    (1) the process that the Department of the Navy uses to 
determine whether a service member is attached to or embarked 
on a vessel for the purpose of determining whether the service 
member may decline non-judicial punishment and demand a court-
martial;
    (2) the use of legal review of proposed non-judicial 
punishment by the Department of the Navy;
    (3) the availability of defense counsel for sailors and 
Marines subject to non-judicial punishment; and
    (4) any other matters the Comptroller General deems 
necessary.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 31, 2023, on the Comptroller General's 
preliminary findings and present final results in a format and 
timeframe agreed to at the time of the briefing.

  Study on the Classification and Growth of United States Space Force 
                                Careers

    The committee notes the importance of fully understanding 
the potential growth of the United States Space Force and how 
it relates to civilian commercial space entities. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Chief of Space Operations to provide 
a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 
2023, analyzing what space-related career positions should be 
military or civilian based on their operational requirements. 
Additionally, the report should illustrate what efforts the 
Space Force is making to increase recruitment, the expected 
growth of Space Force personnel, and the best location options 
for Space Force base expansion.

              Swift Water Training for the National Guard

    The committee appreciates that the National Guard has a 
long history in responding to natural disasters. Across the 
nation, the Air National Guard and Army National Guard often 
are the first on the scene in assisting states dealing with 
wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, and floods. The Committee 
understands that flooding is the most common natural disaster 
in the United States, occurring in 98 percent of the nation's 
counties. In particular, quick-rising floods, and the swift 
waters they can cause, are most often caused by heavy rains 
over a short period and can happen anywhere. Yet, one-third of 
people who die in swift water incidents are first responders, 
like the National Guard, and most have never trained on an 
actual submerged vehicle. Instead, around the world, emergency 
services personnel are training in creeks and rivers, which 
carry bacteria and reach dangerous temperatures in the winter.
    The committee believes that a controlled yet realistic 
training environment is essential to protect our flood rescue 
teams, like our guardsmen. For that reason, the committee 
applauds Harris County Sherriff's Office in Houston, Texas, and 
Fayetteville Technical Community College in Cumberland County, 
North Carolina, for their plans to open indoor swift water 
rescue training facilities. These facilities will allow 
emergency personnel to train year-round for a wide variety of 
dangerous swift-water and floodwater rescue scenarios, with 
water simulations deep enough to submerge a vehicle, and can be 
heated and controlled for water current. These facilities can 
also provide year-round access to realistic, clean, repetitive 
training.
    In 2017, Hurricane Harvey was a devastating Category 4 
hurricane that made landfall on Texas and Louisiana in August 
2017, causing catastrophic flooding and more than 100 people. 
In 2019, Tropical Storm Imelda dumped torrential rains over the 
Houston-area, killing at least two people, while rescuers in 
boats pulled hundreds from flooded cars. And in April 2022, a 
Texas National Guard soldier was washed away while attempting 
to rescue two migrants who struggled as they tried to cross the 
Rio Grande in Eagle Pass.
    Most National Guard soldiers have had no swimming or water 
rescue training, yet in an increasingly flood-prone world, it 
is essential that emergency personnel are trained in dealing 
with swift water and flood water rescues. But it can be 
difficult and dangerous to arrange such training on a regular 
basis in natural, outdoor settings. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of the Army, in coordination with the 
Secretary of the Air Force, to provide a briefing to the House 
Armed Services Committee by March 31, 2023, on existing and 
planned indoor swift water rescue training for National Guard 
units in hyper-realistic flood rescue scenarios, such as the 
use of clean, filtered, temperature-controlled, treated water; 
controllable water levels, current, and flow; environmental 
effects (like rain, lightning, and thunder); the ability to 
train with an actual submerged vehicle (such as a car, train, 
plane, or bus); and the use of vehicle wreck extraction tools.

                         Travel Voucher Reform

    The committee notes the challenges often experienced by 
members of the Joint Forces when filing for reimbursement for 
travel, to include, but not limited to, temporary duty, travel 
for military education, deployments and mobilizations, travel 
to training requirements, and permanent change of station 
travel. The committee is aware that in many instances, the 
amount of time it takes for a member's voucher to pay out is so 
long members risk going into delinquency on their issued 
Government Travel credit card. This causes undue stress on 
service members and can potentially negatively impact their 
personal credit history. Furthermore, the committee believes it 
is imperative all possible avenues are taken to ensure our men 
and women in uniform, to include active-duty, reserve, and 
guard, receive reimbursement for military related travel 
expenses in an expeditious manner. There is no reason those who 
defend freedom should struggle with being reimbursed for travel 
conducted in the service of our country. Given the significant 
challenges often experienced by military members in receiving 
travel reimbursement and the significant quality of life 
improvement that would be provided to our service members if 
this process were expedited and made more efficient, the 
committee encourages the Department of Defense to explore 
innovative ways to remove red tape and streamline the process 
through which military members are reimbursed for duty related 
travel. Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by July 1, 2023, on the current status of the military 
travel voucher program and what feasible steps are possible to 
streamline this process and ease the undue burden placed on 
servicemembers to receive travel reimbursement. The briefing 
shall include, at a minimum:
    (1) A report of the average time required from submission 
to payment for travel vouchers (to include vouchers filed in 
the reserve and guard components).
    (2) A step-by-step description of the current travel 
voucher procedure and how travel vouchers are processed at all 
levels (to include vouchers filed in DTS and eFinance).
    (3) A report of how many vouchers are currently filed but 
not paid out across the Department of Defense.
    (4) A preliminary assessment of the resources needed to 
streamline the travel voucher process and more quickly 
reimburse service members.
    (5) An alternative plan on how to file and process travel 
vouchers that would allow for more rapid processing and payment 
to service members.
    (6) What, if any, legislative changes would be required to 
facilitate more rapid processing and payment of travel vouchers 
to service members.
    (7) Any barriers to implementing more rapid travel voucher 
processing and payment.

                       Youth Sports Coach Safely

    The committee is aware the National Council of Youth Sports 
(NCYS) Physical Activity, Access, Youth Development and Safely 
for Defense initiative aligns with the Department of Defense's 
priority of building resilience and readiness by maintaining 
and enhancing the qualities of health, character, and 
leadership of youth in communities that it serves. The program 
trains coaches and administrators to better influence the 
positive development of youth as they enter recruitment age. 
The initiative offers opportunities for military leaders, both 
active and retired, to coach and support local programs. 
Therefore, the committee strongly encourages the Department of 
Defense to implement a youth sports program across the 100 
communities that serve in 7 southeastern States to increase the 
physical health, academic performance, and leadership skills of 
a minimum of 36,000 youth.

          TITLE VI--COMPENSATION AND OTHER PERSONNEL BENEFITS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


       Assessing Implementation of the Blended Retirement System

    The committee recognizes that fiscal year 2023 will mark 
the fifth anniversary of the Department of Defense's 
implementation of the Blended Retirement System as enacted in 
title VI, subtitle D, part I of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92). The 
committee commends the Department for its efforts to ensure 
younger service members the proper access to robust financial 
security training for retirement and directs the Secretary of 
Defense to submit a report to the Committee on Armed Services 
of the House of Representatives not later than April 1, 2023, 
on the status of the Blended Retirement System implementation. 
Such report shall analyze any data collected on the impacts of 
current training modules, include quantifiable outcomes that 
assess the impact of the Department's current financial 
security training from the year prior to implementation through 
fiscal year 2023, and detail an action plan that outlines 
additional tools and/or resources needed by the Department to 
further increase positive outcomes in enhancing financial 
literacy training for our service members.

Briefing on Quality-of-Life Issues for Sailors Assigned to Ships Going 
         Through Repair and Complex Refueling Overhaul Periods

    The committee understands the Navy requires the use of a 
specialized shipyard in Newport News, VA, for the refueling of 
nuclear aircraft carriers. However, the committee understands 
that there are a number of quality-of-life issues for Sailors 
assigned to ships going through repair and complex refueling 
overhaul (RCOH) periods. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of the Navy to provide a briefing to the Committee on 
Armed Services of the House of Representatives, no later than 
January 1, 2023 on the following:
    (1) historical throughput of aircraft carriers that have 
completed RCOH and the number of Sailors that have been 
impacted by quality-of-life issues like availability of 
parking;
    (2) future throughput of carriers going through RCOH and 
the number of Sailors that are anticipated to be impacted over 
the next 10 years;
    (3) current parking situation for Sailors and staff 
supporting RCOH activities;
    (4) current availability of housing and berthing;
    (5) current availability of mental health and resiliency 
support;
    (6) courses of action and/or recommendations to mitigate 
quality of life challenges such as berthing and parking, to 
include estimated costs of public private partnerships; city 
leasing options and/or military construction or capital 
projects; and
    (7) courses of action and/or recommendations to mitigate 
increasing demands on mental health and resiliency support 
issues.

                    Briefing on SkillBridge Program

    The committee recognizes the Department of Defense 
SkillBridge program as an opportunity for departing service 
members to gain valuable civilian work experience in industry 
during their last 180 days of service. Service members can also 
provide valuable skills to industry by drawing on their service 
experience. Through the SkillBridge program, industry partners 
can leverage and attract a highly trained and motivated 
workforce. The Committee notes that this program could benefit 
domestic industries that are critical to the national defense 
of the United States but that are facing worker and skill gaps.
    The committee therefore encourages the Office of the 
Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness to make 
broad use of the SkillBridge program by engaging with new 
industry partners, in particular corporations in the 
semiconductor and microelectronic industries.
    The committee also directs the Undersecretary of Defense 
for Personnel and Readiness to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by February 1, 2023 on the status 
of the SkillBridge program. The briefing should include an 
overview of the military services' use of the program; the 
number of participating service members and the industry fields 
in which they are placed; the success rate of departing service 
members in securing full time employment in industry after 
participation in the program; and the proportion of SkillBridge 
program participants working in high-tech industries.

        Childcare Providers at Department of Defense Facilities

    The committee is aware of the challenge of attracting 
sufficient childcare providers at Department of Defense 
installations, specifically the Child Development Centers, and 
that the Department is facing a challenge in having adequate 
facilities as well as sufficient numbers of childcare 
providers. Additionally, the significant backlog at many 
military installations for on-installation childcare for 
service members and their families is a concern. The COVID 
crisis has only exacerbated the challenge of finding enough 
childcare providers at both Department of Defense installations 
and in the surrounding community. Long waitlists for childcare 
have been cited by many service members as a major quality-of-
life challenge and, in some cases, has forced families to 
choose between work or providing childcare themselves. Given 
that the lack of childcare providers is also evident in many 
communities, these service members and their families don't 
have alternative options. The committee is concerned that the 
Department of Defense has not taken any action to address the 
lack of childcare providers in several areas. The committee is 
aware that Department of Defense policy allows installation 
commanders to offer childcare providers up to a 20 percent 
discount if they have their children enrolled in that childcare 
center. It is unclear if that policy is a sufficient incentive 
to attract additional childcare providers.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the Committee on Armed Services of the 
House of Representatives not later than March 1, 2023, on how 
the Department of Defense intends to address the lack of 
childcare providers. Specifically, the report should include an 
analysis of the potential benefit of increasing the authority 
of installation commanders to offer a childcare discount of up 
to 100 percent, including potential budgetary impacts compared 
to the ability to attract additional childcare providers. The 
report shall also include additional incentive options that the 
Department of Defense could consider to attract additional 
childcare providers, including the budgetary impact of those 
additional incentives and whether additional authorities are 
needed to execute those recommendations. The report shall also 
include whether the Department of Defense would make any 
incentives Department-wide or whether they should be utilized 
by local installation commanders depending on local conditions.

 Comptroller General Review of Part-time Employment of Military Spouses

    The committee continues to be concerned about the impact of 
private-sector practices that disadvantage part-time employees, 
including military spouses. About 40% of employed military 
spouses work part-time, in part due to frequent relocations 
pursuant to permanent-change-of-station orders, inability to 
access child care, lack of available full-time employment 
opportunities near many installations, and other challenges 
unique to military life.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to assess what is known about the specific 
impacts of certain part-time employment practices on military 
personnel (for example, military household financial stability, 
health and well-being of military families, retention of 
service members, and recruitment of service members). These 
part-time employment practices could include:
    (1) underemployment, or the inability of part-time workers 
who would like to increase working hours to access more hours,
    (2) access to pension and retirement benefits based on work 
tenure requirements,
    (3) restrictions on paid and unpaid sick days and family 
and medical leave,
    (4) unpredictable and variable shift and work hour 
scheduling,
    (5) differential treatment compared to full-time employees 
with regard to wages, ability to accrue benefits, and 
eligibility for promotions, and
    (6) any other matters the Comptroller General deems 
necessary.
    The study should also examine whether relevant demographic 
data are available on the composition of the military spouse 
part-time workforce, recognizing that this subset of the part-
time workforce has distinct features and is not necessarily 
representative of the part-time workforce overall.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
July 31, 2023, on preliminary findings and present final 
results in a format and timeframe agreed to at the briefing.

     Defense Finance and Accounting Service Erroneous Payments and 
                             Reconciliation

    The committee recognizes that the Defense Finance and 
Accounting Service (DFAS) is one of the world's largest finance 
and accounting operations, providing service members and their 
families with significant finance and accounting activities. 
While DFAS generally provides accurate and timely payments, the 
committee understands that with an operation of this scale, it 
is possible for mistakes to occur in which erroneous payments 
are made, either in the wrong amount or at the wrong time. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Director of the Defense 
Finance and Accounting Service to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services not later than February 1, 
2023 on the frequency of erroneous payments made by DFAS and 
the process by which DFAS identifies such payments and 
reconciles the situation. The briefing shall include an 
accounting of the number of erroneous payments made per year 
and how often DFAS requests for service members to submit 
payments to DFAS to reconcile an erroneous payment.

    Department of Defense Basic Allowance for Subsistence and Food 
                               Management

    The Committee understands that since 2017, the Department 
of Defense (DOD) has been working to develop a new process for 
making food ingredient decisions, based on its menu standards 
for providing nutritious food to servicemembers. The Committee 
notes progress in some areas like healthier menu options and 
food ingredients. However, the Committee remains concerned the 
pace of change is going too slowly and that there are 
differences in the calculation of food costs across the 
Services which may impact the Basic Allowance for Subsistence. 
Additionally, the Committee notes the importance of 
implementing the recommendation in GAO Report 22-103949, Food 
Program: DOD Should Formalize Its Process for Revising Food 
Ingredients and Better Track Dining Facility Use and Cost. 
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 January 31, 2023, on 
the efforts to implement the recommendations in GAO Report 22-
103949.

       Expansion of Employment Opportunities for Military Spouses

    The committee recognizes military spouses face unique 
challenges regarding employment. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and 
Readiness to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than March 1, 2023, on expanding 
opportunities for the employment of military spouses. This 
report shall include at a minimum:
    (1) an identification of departments and agencies of the 
Federal Government that offer employment opportunities on or 
near military installations and the number of spouses that 
could be hired to address such workforce needs;
    (2) an analysis of unemployment and underemployment of 
military spouses;
    (3) an assessment of the extent to which positions in the 
Federal Government available to military spouses are 
sufficiently portable to support the continued employment of 
such spouses in the event of a change in duty station for the 
service member;
    (4) a description of efforts to increase the portability of 
such positions;
    (5) an identification of opportunities for qualified 
military spouses to collaborate with the Department of the 
Treasury to support members of the Armed Forces in completing 
annual tax returns and other related documents, including 
opportunities to increase the availability of tax-related 
resources and increasing service members' access to tax-related 
information; and
    (6) the feasibility and advisability of establishing a 
pilot program to increase the hiring of military spouses by 
departments and agencies of the Federal Government.

     Feasibility of Flexible Pay Status for Military Servicemembers

    The committee notes the reliance on the Reserve components 
of the military to fill active-duty requirements around the 
world. The committee also understands that for many service 
members, life circumstances may require a move from active to 
reserve status, or vice-versa, on multiple occasions during the 
course of a military career. The committee is aware that 
currently attempting to transition between reserve and active 
pay statuses multiple times throughout the course of a military 
member's career is so fraught with difficulty, red-tape, and 
departmental barricades that many times this causes a member to 
stop serving altogether rather than attempt to continuously 
transition. This leads to a loss of the investments the 
American taxpayers have made to ensure the professional 
training and readiness of each individual servicemember. Given 
the difficulty in transitioning between different pay statuses 
within the military services, the loss of taxpayer investment 
each time a member separates due to this difficulty, and the 
significant quality of life improvement for servicemembers that 
could be achieved with greater pay status flexibility, the 
committee encourages the Department of Defense to look for 
innovative ways to streamline and increase the flexibility 
allowed for members to transition between active and reserve 
status. Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by July 1, 2023, on the feasibility of allowing 
military members to transition multiple times throughout the 
course of a career between full and part-time pay status. The 
briefing shall include, at a minimum, the following:
    (1) A listing of all different pay statuses in which a 
military member (active or reserve) may be placed.
    (2) A step-by-step description of the current process 
required by each service for a member to transition from active 
to reserve status, as well as from reserve to active status.
    (3) A preliminary assessment of the viability of allowing 
service members the flexibility to easily transition multiple 
times between pay statuses based on life events over the course 
of a career.
    (4) An alternative plan on pay statuses from each service 
that would allow for increased flexibility and the ability to 
transition multiple times between pay statuses during the 
course of a career.

               Geographic Stability for Military Families

    The committee is concerned about the disruption to military 
families, impact on retention, and expense caused by frequent 
permanent-change-of-station (PCS) moves. While the committee is 
encouraged by the efforts of the military services to lengthen 
allowable time on station and provide service members with more 
input over future assignments, it is unclear whether there is a 
long-term plan to continue these efforts. 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 by February 1, 2023, addressing 
the efforts of each military service to reduce the frequency of 
PCS moves and implement systems to provide service members with 
more choice over assignments. The report should include, for 
each military service:
    (1) the total number of PCS moves for the previous three 
complete fiscal years,
    (2) the total cost of PCS moves for the previous three 
complete fiscal years,
    (3) the average cost of PCS moves for the previous three 
complete fiscal years,
    (4) an explanation of each military service's past efforts 
and future plans to reduce the number of PCS moves and increase 
time on station,
    (5) an assessment of current efforts to implement talent 
marketplaces that give officers more input into their next 
assignments, including data on outcomes from these new 
assignment processes, the percentage of officers who receive 
one of their top three choices, the impact on career 
progression, and the impact on retention,
    (6) an update on plans to offer talent marketplaces to 
enlisted service members, including projected timelines, costs, 
and benefits,
    (7) analysis of whether exit interviews should be 
implemented to determine the impact of frequent moves and lack 
of input on assignments on retention, and
    (8) identification of any statutory or regulatory barriers 
to decreasing the frequency of PCS moves and providing service 
members with additional choice over assignment and geographic 
location.

   Improving Employment Opportunities for Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot 
                 Training Program Families and Spouses

    The committee understands the importance of ensuring that 
the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program (ENJJPT) 
continues to produce elite combat pilots for the NATO alliance. 
The committee notes that for 40 years, the United States has 
hosted the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training Program in 
Wichita Falls, Texas, training and preparing future pilots.
    The committee is aware that spouses of service members from 
partner nations participating in the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot 
Training Program face unique challenges when seeking 
employment, frequently causing difficulty for partner nations 
to appoint their Senior National Representative to serve in the 
ENJJPT. The committee is concerned about the negative impact 
this could have on the future of the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot 
Training Program. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of 
State, to deliver a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by April 1, 2023, on potential solutions to improving 
employment opportunities for spouses and family members of 
service members of foreign nations serving in the ENJJPT.

   Labeling Post Exchange and Commissary Benefits on Veteran Health 
                          Identification Cards

    The committee is aware that possession of a Veteran Health 
Identification Card already authorizes cardholders to use Post 
Exchange and Commissary services on military installations. 
However, the committee is concerned that this benefit is not 
common knowledge for employees working on military 
installations. Adding a simple statement on the identification 
card that verifies the cardholder is entitled to Post Exchange 
and Commissary Services may prevent veterans from being denied 
access to benefits they earned.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Veterans 
Affairs to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services analyzing the feasibility and cost-benefit analysis of 
adding an annotation to the Veteran Health Identification Card 
no later than May 1, 2023. The report should determine the 
prevalence of a systemic lack of knowledge of the privileges 
afforded to veterans on military installations, a cost-benefit 
analysis of updating the identification cards with a small 
statement verifying their entitled benefits, and the timeline 
associated with this identification card update.

                    Military Childcare Partnerships

    The committee continues to be concerned about the 
availability of childcare for service members across the United 
States and therefore directs the Secretary of Defense to submit 
a report to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives not later than June 1, 2023, that examines the 
feasibility of entering into grant agreements, cooperative 
agreements, or contracts with one or more public or private 
entities to build and operate childcare facilities to provide 
childcare to members of the Armed Forces and civilian employees 
of the Department of Defense. The report shall include a 
recommendation on whether to proceed with the establishment of 
a military childcare partnership and include an analysis of:
    (1) public or private entities that have the capacity to 
build and operate childcare facilities to provide childcare to 
members of the Armed Forces and civilian employees of the 
Department of Defense;
    (2) financial arrangements that could support a military 
childcare partnership, including agreements to fill a certain 
number of childcare slots with military or Department of 
Defense civilian children with the support of the fee 
assistance program, as applicable, or other approaches as 
considered by the Secretary concerned;
    (3) timeframes for establishing such partnerships and 
projected number of children who could be served, and the 
potential impact on childcare waitlists at installations with 
unmet demand;
    (4) means to ensure that Department of Defense standards 
for safety and quality in childcare programs are met or 
exceeded by any military childcare partnership;
    (5) initial cost estimates to the Department for a military 
childcare partnership;
    (6) cost comparison of a potential military childcare 
partnership compared to a Department constructed and operated 
military child development center to include initial 
construction costs, staffing, and building maintenance costs 
over the life cycle of the project;
    (7) any changes to statutory authorities needed to enable 
the military departments to enter into military childcare 
partnerships; and
    (8) any changes to regulation needed to enable the military 
departments to enter into military childcare partnerships.

       Military-Connected Children and Special Education Services

    The committee notes the military lifestyle can make 
navigating the world of disability and special education an 
overwhelming process for military families. The committee 
recognizes that families in the Exceptional Family Member 
Program often move every two to three years and that this can 
disrupt the continuity of medical and educational services. 
Although there are umbrella protections under federal and state 
laws and compact agreements, military families can face 
significant barriers that prevent them from accessing an 
appropriate education in comparison to civilian special 
education students. The committee is concerned that military 
families are reporting long wait times for eligibility 
determinations and special education services after a military 
move. The committee encourages the Department to consider 
implementing a centralized, online dashboard resource of 
Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) and state-
level public school data to help military families navigate 
state-specific special education law and existing student 
outcome metrics. The committee notes this could reduce delays 
and educate families by allowing them to view and compare data 
concerning the quality of educational services provided to 
their children in covered schools.
    The committee notes more information is needed on how to 
collect education data for military-connected children to 
provide transparency to military families with special-
education students. The committee recognizes there may be 
challenges in collecting and assessing education data collected 
specifically for military-connected children through the Every 
Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) and the Individuals with 
Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), including the lack of 
special education data regarding military-connected children. 
The committee also acknowledges that school districts may 
already be burdened with current data collection and reporting 
requirements.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in consultation with the Government Accountability Office and 
the Director of DoDEA, to deliver a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services no later than March 1, 2023, on how 
the department can better collect data on military students 
especially those with special needs. The Secretary should seek 
out feedback from and consult with key stakeholders, including 
military families who have children in both general and special 
education, to understand what type of data would be helpful to 
parents to make educational decisions after they receive 
military orders. The report should include the following:
    (1) if state-level military student identifier (MSI) data 
provides military families adequate information to make 
informed decisions on dependent educational opportunities 
during permanent changes of station (PCS);
    (2) ways to improve and expand upon the MSI data by 
including those military children in special education;
    (3) if the state-level MSI data that is being reported is 
easily accessible and meeting ESSA and IDEA standards;
    (4) the quality of the data that is currently being 
collected at the state-level as a requirement of ESSA and IDEA;
    (5) how the department is currently utilizing the data on 
military-connected children already being reported;
    (6) recommendations as to how the Department could better 
utilize the current data and collect more in the future;
    (7) what type of data is necessary for parents to make 
educational decisions after receiving PCS orders;
    (8) proposals to increase transparency for families 
navigating the PCS process; and
     (9) how to collect and distribute education data for all 
military children to include those in special education that is 
effective, transparent, and high quality for military families 
to access and make informed decisions.

              Morale, Welfare and Recreation Program Usage

    The Committee understands that Morale, Welfare and 
Recreation (MWR) programs are vital to mission accomplishment 
and form an integral part of the non-pay compensation system. 
MWR programs foster physical and mental well-being and aid in 
readiness, recruitment, and retention of personnel. They 
enhance the physical, cultural, and social needs of Service 
members and their families by providing installation and 
community support systems for a mobile military population. The 
Military Services resource their MWR programs from either 
Annual Planning Figure (APF) or non-appropriated funds (NAF), 
or a combination of both. There are three categories of MWR 
programs: (1) Category A (mission-sustaining); (2) Category B 
(community support); and (3) Category C (revenue-generating). 
However, it remains unclear on why some Services are not 
meeting funding thresholds and the plan for modernization of 
overall MWR programs. Therefore, the Committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense in coordination with the Secretaries of 
the Military Departments to provide a report to the Committee 
on Armed Services of the House of Representatives, not later 
than April 1, 2023, on the plan to modernize the MWR program, 
provide usage data by category and beneficiary group to include 
retirees, family members and others and the funding rationale 
on why some Services are not hitting required funding 
thresholds.

     Rates of Basic Allowance for Housing inside the United States

    The committee continues to be concerned about the 
affordability of housing for service members across the United 
States considering the current and continuing economic 
conditions. The availability and cost of family housing is of 
greatest concern and the committee believes it is necessary for 
the Secretary of Defense to proactively address this concern. 
In the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-
291) Congress authorized, but did not require, the Department 
to decrement the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) by up to 5 
percent. The Department, by policy, chose to reduce the Basic 
Allowance for Housing rate accordingly and service members only 
receive 95 percent of the calculated Basic Allowance for 
Housing. This out-of-pocket cost further reduces the buying 
power of service member families, especially in high cost of 
living areas of the United States. As a result of the 
Department of Defense policy the Basic Allowance for Housing 
was reduced, but it is possible for the Department to reverse 
part of this or even eliminate the reduction without further 
legislation. The committee encourages the Secretary of Defense 
to consider reversing this housing allowance reduction and 
restoring to service members 100 percent of the calculated 
Basic Allowance for Housing. The committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
not later than March 1, 2023, on its consideration of this 
policy reversal that includes:
    (1) the timeline considered to reverse 100 percent of the 
current BAH reduction;
    (2) the cost of a reversal of the BAH reduction policy;
    (3) the additional average increase of allowance by grade 
and dependency status; and
    (4) any other policy consideration the Secretary deems 
appropriate.

               Remotely Piloted Aircraft Crew Management

    The committee continues to be concerned about the overall 
management of remotely piloted aircraft (RPA) crews, not only 
long-term career management but increasingly whether they are 
provided with or have access to respite, mental health, and 
family support. Considering most of the crews have largely been 
deployed in place for the last 10 years, the committee believes 
the Air Force should have addressed the issues of work-life 
balance in this community, similar to a deploy-to-dwell tempo 
that is applicable for deployed forces. Also of concern is the 
characterization of the combat operations performed by these 
crews and the consideration of having been in combat for the 
purposes of recognition and access to combat-related benefits.
    Therefore, the committee directs 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 
April 1, 2023, on programs and services provided to personnel 
performing the duties of RPA aircrew. The report shall include;
    (1) the number of officers and enlisted members performing 
duties as RPA aircrew (remotely piloted aircraft pilots, combat 
systems operators, and sensor operators) during the past 5 
fiscal years;
    (2) the retention rate of such officers and enlisted 
members during the past 5 fiscal years;
    (3) the promotion rate of such officers and enlisted 
members during the past 5 fiscal years;
    (4) the total amount of combat time in flight hours logged 
by officers and enlisted members performing RPA aircrew duties 
during the past 5 fiscal years;
    (5) a description of the structure of incentive pay for 
officers and enlisted members performing RPA aircrew duties 
during the past 5 fiscal years;
    (6) a description of the types of mental health support and 
benefits to all total force RPA operators and crew engaging in 
active combat operations;
    (7) the current level of mental health services resourcing 
available at each major RPA operating location, specifically: 
(a) describe military treatment facility (MTF), non-MTF, and 
embedded resource; (b) describe the MTF wait times to receive 
care; (c) describe the availability or wait time to receive 
services from embedded care providers; (d) describe the 
availability of non-MTF and non-embedded care resources (i.e., 
chaplains, military family life counselors); (e) describe any 
resourcing successes and challenges;
    (8) define the frequency of required mental health visits/
appointments for RPA aircrew. When the frequency isn't defined, 
what drives optional and mandatory mental health appointments 
or assessments;
    (9) a description of all combat-related recognitions 
available to RPA aircrew members compared to combat-related 
recognitions available to aircrew members of traditionally 
piloted aircraft; and
    (10) such other matters as the Secretary considers 
appropriate to inform the congressional defense committees with 
respect to programs and services provided to Air Force 
personnel performing duties of RPA aircrew.

               Report on Caregivers in Military Families

    The Committee recognizes that military service creates 
distinct challenges for servicemembers and their families for 
those required to balance service obligations for family 
members unable to care for themselves due to age, disability, 
or chronic medical conditions and that caregiving duties may 
negatively impact force readiness and the quality of military 
life. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services and 
House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure not later 
than February 1, 2023, on the prevalence of caregivers in 
military families and an assessment of the need for 
establishing a grant program to support organizations that 
assist caregivers in military families. The report will include 
the following elements:
    (1) the relative prevalence of caregivers in military 
families, including the prevalence of military dependents 
providing caregiving tasks, even if the person does not 
explicitly identify as a caregiver, with respect to military 
service branch, geographic region, rurality, age, gender, rank, 
race, and ethnicity;
    (2) an evaluation of the usage rates, eligibility criteria, 
barriers to access, and effectiveness of respite care currently 
available to caregivers in military families including the 
availability of care at installations and around installations 
eligible for accompanied tours;
    (3) quantify the impact of unpaid caregiving activities on 
military family finances, mental health, military family 
resilience, military retention, and military readiness;
    (4) an evaluation of the effectiveness of existing 
caregiver programs and policies in identifying those performing 
caregiving tasks, screening of caregivers for perceived burden, 
and alleviating impacts on military family finances, mental 
health, military family resilience, military retention, and 
military readiness;
    (5) provide recommendations to improve existing programs at 
and around military installations in order to identify 
caregivers and alleviate the impacts of military family 
finances, mental health, military family resilience, military 
retention, and military readiness;
    (6) assess whether the current definitional requirements 
for eligibility for existing caregiver programs is adequate in 
providing support to all caregivers in military families; and
    (7) examine the need to establish a grant program for 
organizations that assist caregivers in military families.
    Caregiver is defined as an adult family member or other 
military dependent who has a significant relationship with, and 
who provides a broad range of assistance to, an individual who 
is unable to care for themselves due to age, disability, or 
chronic medical conditions.

   Report on Department of Defense Impact on Housing in the State of 
                                 Hawaii

    The committee notes that housing demand is projected to 
continue to outpace supply in Hawaii through 2025, exacerbating 
Hawaii's affordable housing shortage. In 2011, the RAND 
Corporation prepared a report for the Secretary of Defense on 
the impact of military spending on Hawaii's economy and found 
that while most military housing in Hawaii is privatized, 
roughly half of active-duty members live off-base and typically 
rent their housing. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the House Committee 
on Armed Services not later than December 1, 2023, on the 
military's impact on housing demand in Hawaii.
    The report shall at a minimum include the following:
    (1) a detailed analysis on how the military affects rental 
housing inventory and overall housing demand in Hawaii;
    (2) the optimum stock and occupancy rate of military 
housing units in Hawaii;
    (3) the overall cost estimate to meet such stock and 
occupancy rate;
    (4) a cost-benefit analysis of requiring all service 
members to reside in military housing vs. allowing off-base 
housing options;
    (5) housing options the Department is not considering but 
could with additional resources; and
    (6) such other matters as may be determined relevant by the 
Secretary.

  Report on Expansion of the Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood 
                                Program

    The committee commends the Department of Defense for its 
work to expand the Military Child Care in Your Neighborhood 
Plus initiative. This initiative represents an important effort 
to expand access to community-based and family child care for 
military families, particularly in States with high 
concentrations of childcare need. As noted in the Department of 
Defense's 2022 report to the committee on childcare best 
practices, only 9 percent of childcare centers and 2 percent of 
family childcare homes are accredited, while 63 percent of 
center-based programs and 52 percent of family childcare 
providers participate in the States' Quality Rating and 
Improvement System. Despite progress expanding the initiative 
since its launch, the committee understands that specific 
challenges may delay or prevent expansion to certain States. 
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 January 31, 2023, 
detailing the expansion of the Military Child Care in Your 
Neighborhood Plus program. The briefing shall outline progress 
and challenges expanding the program with a particular focus on 
States with high concentrations of childcare need among 
military families. Further, the committee recognizes that 
access to child care remains an urgent need for military 
families across the country. Therefore, the committee 
encourages the Department of Defense to continue to explore new 
strategies to expand access to child care for military families 
both on military bases and within communities with high 
concentrations of military families.

       Report on Military Spouse Employment Program Effectiveness

    The committee is concerned about barriers to military 
spouse employment and therefore directs the Secretary of 
Defense to submit a report to the Committee on Armed Services 
of the House of Representatives not later than April 1, 2023, 
that considers a standardized process to assess the performance 
of Military Spouse Employment programming and includes:
    (1) a comprehensive assessment of the performance of the 
Department of Defense Military Spouse Employment programs, 
pilot programs, and initiatives meant to address military 
spouse unemployment;
    (2) an identification of costs and resources to maintain 
and sustain Military Spouse Employment programs, pilot 
programs, and initiatives meant to address military spouse 
unemployment;
    (3) an assessment of Military Spouse Employment programs' 
performance on employment rates by credentialed professionals 
requiring State licensing and other certifications;
    (4) an identification of State, local, and commercial 
partnerships within Military Spouse Employment programs and 
metrics on the number of spouses hired, broken down by entity 
and year;
    (5) an assessment on the rate or prevalence of military 
spouses who are enrolled in a Military Spouse Employment 
program who remain unemployed for more than 30 days following 
enrollment into a program, categorized by rank of sponsor, 
installation, and location;
    (6) an assessment on the impact of military spouses' 
ability to retain and seek new employment following a permanent 
change of station within the continental United States and 
overseas;
    (7) an assessment on the impact of military spouses' 
ability to participate in retirement contribution and employer 
matching opportunities following a permanent change of station;
    (8) an assessment of military spouse employment programs' 
ability to match spouses with employment opportunities that 
align with their level of education and professional 
background; and
    (9) an assessment of barriers to military spouse employment 
program utilization.
    The report shall also include information on barriers 
preventing the evaluation of military spouse employment program 
effectiveness such as availability of necessary data required 
to assess military spouse employment program effectiveness.

        Report on Navy Tactical Air Control Squadron Flight Pay

    The committee notes that operational training department 
heads assigned to Tactical Air Control Squadrons (TACRONs) 
chronically run into Aviation Incentive Pay (AvIP) gate issues 
that require a waiver granted by the Secretary of the Navy. The 
committee is concerned that every AvIP gate waiver request 
submitted by a TACRON aviator has been summarily denied by the 
Deputy Assistant Secretary of the Navy, irrespective of 
individual qualifications or previously established AvIP gate 
waiver practices. There are no other examples of a class of 
aviators being denied AvIP gate waivers based solely on the 
unit in which they currently serve. Using an applicant's 
present assignment as a discriminator for waiver decisions is 
incompatible with current policy.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to submit a report to the Committee on Armed Services of the 
House of Representatives not later than March 1, 2023, 
evaluating the merit of denying TACRON aviators AvIP and the 
effect that will have on manning TACRONs in the future.
    The committee further recommends the Secretary of the Navy 
return to the practice of evaluating each record in accordance 
with written policies, rather than relying on the requestor's 
current tour as a disapproval criterion. The committee 
additionally recommends reevaluating all denied AvIP gate 
waivers for officers who submitted packages while serving at a 
TACRON during the affected timeframe and authorize back pay to 
the date of their original gate waiver request in accordance 
with appropriate Department of the Navy instructions.

Report on Student Services at Department of Defense Education Activity 
                                Schools

    The committee continues to be interested in providing a 
safe and supportive learning environment for all students and 
considers this a priority for Department of Defense Education 
Activity (DODEA) schools. In the DODEA's Blueprint for 
Continuous School Improvement, one of the critical success 
factors for achieving the goal of educating, engaging, and 
empowering students is to offer support for social and 
emotional learning by delivering comprehensive programming and 
supportive skills. An adequate number of school psychologists 
and student support staff in every DODEA school will permit the 
achievement of this goal. The National Association of School 
Psychologists recommends a ratio of 1 psychologist for every 
500 students. However, DODEA's school psychologist staffing 
ratio is 1:1,000. In an effort to sustain ongoing support to 
our military-connected students and schools, DODEA must 
continue providing a comprehensive student support services 
team of internal, external, and ancillary student support 
personnel. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than March 1, 2023, on findings of a review 
by the DODEA Inspector General of the quality and availability 
of school psychological services that includes a parent survey 
addressing these concerns. The review should explore student-
to-staff ratios of student support services in accordance with 
national recommendations including school psychologists, school 
counselors, and trauma informed care supports.

Report on Transition from Overseas Housing Allowance to Basic Allowance 
                          for Housing on Guam

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
report to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives not later than April 28, 2023, regarding the 
recommendation of the Secretary whether members of the 
uniformed services located in Guam and who receive the Overseas 
Housing Allowance should instead receive the Basic Allowance 
for Housing to ensure the most appropriate housing compensation 
for such members and their families.

         Reserve and National Guard Retirement Process Fairness

    The committee notes the discrepancy in retirement processes 
and timelines between active duty members of the Armed Forces 
and those serving in the reserves and guard. Active duty 
members may apply for retirement up to a year prior to the 
completion of their required years of service allowing for the 
timely completion of all administrative requirements and the 
ability to retire as soon as eligible. Reserve and guard 
service member must fully complete their required years of 
service and be issued the additional paperwork required for 
their retirement request and thus are prevented from retiring 
on the date they become eligible. This process discriminates 
against service members from the guard and reserve forces, 
preventing them from retiring on their earliest eligible date. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Personnel and Readiness to provide a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than January 31, 2023, on 
the discrepancy in retirement processes and timelines between 
active duty members of the Armed Forces and those serving in 
the reserves and guard. The report should include the reasoning 
for the different retirement requirements, an analysis of the 
service members affected and an assessment of the operational 
and readiness impacts of issuing preliminary notices of 
retirement eligibility to guard and reserve service members no 
later than six months before the completion of their required 
years of service.

                Tuition Assistance for Doctoral Programs

    The committee is aware that some of the military services 
do not allow the use of tuition assistance funds for the 
pursuit of doctoral degrees. The committee understands that 
tuition assistance funds are limited but that in some cases a 
doctoral degree may serve both the needs of the service member 
and the military service. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretaries of 
the military departments, to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2023, on 
the tuition assistance policies of each military service 
regarding doctoral education along with a rationale for these 
policies and a recommendation on whether the services should 
modify their policies regarding tuition assistance and doctoral 
education.

                  Value of Service Member Compensation

    The committee understands that pay and compensation are 
vital elements of service member recruitment and retention. The 
committee also understands the goals of military compensation 
include recompense for service, retention, the reward of 
effective work, assignability, transition, separation and 
retirement. However, the committee is concerned that current 
value of compensation and benefits is not keeping pace with 
inflation and geographic differences in the prices of goods, 
services, and housing in some locations. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report 
to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
of Representatives, not later than June 1, 2023, that includes 
the following:
    (1) an assessment of the formulation of the Cost-of-Living 
Allowance and a discussion on whether that should be considered 
for expensive continental United States locations;
    (2) an assessment of the Basic Allowance for Housing and 
how it adjusts to inflation and cost fluctuations in local 
rental markets;
    (3) an assessment of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance 
Program and the Basic Needs Allowance to ensure they are 
appropriately targeting service members in the appropriate pay 
grades and geographic locations;
    (4) an assessment of whether a more expansive view of 
military compensation to include regular military compensation 
plus special and incentive pays targeted toward recruiting and 
retention should be conducted;
    (5) an analysis of service member use of the Blended 
Retirement System and its value as a retention incentive;
    (6) an analysis of the data that exists to track service 
member and family member satisfaction with military 
compensation and benefits; and
    (7) any recommendations that include legislative or policy 
changes regarding Department of Defense compensation and 
benefits.

                         LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS


                  Subtitle A--Basic Pay and Allowances


Section 601--Exclusion of BAH from Gross Household Income for Purposes 
                        of Basic Needs Allowance

    This section would remove the Basic Allowance for Housing 
from the calculation of service member eligibility for the 
Basic Needs Allowance.

     Section 602--Basic Allowance for Housing for a Member without 
 Dependents Whose Relocation Would Financially Disadvantage Such Member

    This section would amend section 403 of title 37, United 
States Code, to allow the Secretaries of the military

                   TITLE VII--HEALTH CARE PROVISIONS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                 Alternative Behavioral Health Options

    The committee understands the value of alternative 
behavioral health options when treating post-traumatic stress 
disorder (PTSD). Some of these alternative options may include 
the use of chaplain programs, non-profit post-traumatic growth 
programs, and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing 
(EMDR) programs. The committee wants to ensure the expansion of 
these programs as they are important components of military 
mental behavioral programs.
    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 February 1, 2023, that 
addresses the following:
    (1) a strategy to actively incorporate and offer chaplain 
programs and non-profit post-traumatic growth programs as part 
of the holistic approach to reducing service member suicide and 
improving behavioral healthcare for military service members 
and their families;
    (2) a strategy to incorporate an annual joint training 
seminar of Chaplains, Primary Care Providers, and Behavioral 
Healthcare providers to learn about medical programs, spiritual 
fitness programs, and non-profit post-traumatic growth programs 
available for service members and ways to incorporate them as 
part of the holistic approach to reducing service member 
suicide and improving behavioral healthcare for military 
service members and their families;
    (3) an analysis of the effectiveness of non-profit post-
traumatic growth programs as an alternative or additional 
approach to traditional models of mental healthcare and whether 
such programs should be covered as a TRICARE benefit;
    (4) a strategy to incorporate a Department of Defense 
equivalent to the Department of Veterans Affairs' Staff 
Sergeant Parker-Gordon Fox Suicide Prevention Grant Program to 
allow non-profit post-traumatic growth as an alternative 
approach to traditional models of mental healthcare; and
    (5) an analysis of the Department's utilization of eye 
movement desensitization and reprocessing as a behavioral 
health treatment to include how many EMDR certified providers 
are in the direct care system, annual referrals of patients to 
EMDR compared to other evidence-based treatments and more 
traditional treatment options, and the level of effectiveness 
EMDR has shown in treating beneficiaries experiencing 
depression, PTSD, traumatic brain injury, and suicidal 
ideation.

              Autism Care Demonstration Program Extension

    The committee understands that Autism Spectrum Disorder 
(ASD) affects essential human behaviors such as social 
interaction, the ability to communicate ideas and feelings, 
imagination and the establishment of relationships with others. 
The committee also understands the Autism Care Demonstration 
Program offers a full array of medically necessary services to 
fulfill the needs of all TRICARE beneficiaries with an ASD 
diagnosis. The committee notes the Department of Defense 
extended the Autism Care Demonstration until December 31, 2023, 
in Federal Register Vol. 82, No. 236 on Monday, December 11, 
2017.
    However, the committee is concerned about the upcoming 
expiration of the of this demonstration and encourages the 
Secretary of Defense to extend the Autism Care Demonstration 
for an additional 5 years following December 31, 2023, to 
ensure the findings and recommendations of the National Academy 
of Science, Engineering and Medicine study from NDAA 2022 
Section 737, are fully evaluated. The committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
not later than February 1, 2023, on its consideration of this 
policy extension that includes:
    (1) the timeline considered to extend the Autism Care 
Demonstration;
    (2) the cost of extending the Autism Care Demonstration; 
and
    (3) any other policy consideration the Secretary deems 
appropriate.

  Civilian Debt Owed for Medical Care Provided at Military Treatment 
                               Facilities

    The committee understands the value of military/civilian 
partnerships and the potential they have in facilitating 
military provider readiness and honing critical skills through 
access to a wide range of patient populations in varying 
locations. However, the clinical benefits provided to 
individual patients are sometimes outweighed by debt that is 
accrued during these procedures.
    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 February 1, 2023, that 
addresses the following:
    (1) an analysis of how the civilian partnerships support 
the military medical readiness required for a future conflict 
by increasing knowledge, skills, and abilities;
    (2) a historical analysis of how medical readiness has 
lagged behind overall readiness as the United States enters a 
conflict;
    (3) a breakdown of how civilian debt is processed and a 
description of what the biggest problems are with the current 
process, including statutory limitations;
    (4) the amount of debt that is owed to the Department of 
Defense by civilians who received trauma care at military 
treatment facilities (MTFs) broken down by year to include a 
breakdown of how much of the debt is not collected or needs to 
be sent to collections;
    (5) a detailed analysis of the Secretarial Designee 
(SECDES) program and how it has been utilized to waive expenses 
and how this program strengthens the military/civilian 
partnership;
    (6) opportunities to expand the SECDES program and the 
potential impact of increasing its utilization for trauma care;
    (7) any scenarios in which the SECDES program was mandated 
to be utilized for certain levels of trauma care that provide 
knowledge, skills, and abilities for military personnel in 
treating similar wounds and injuries that they would experience 
in a deployed environment;
    (8) a description of debt collection practices used by the 
MTFs;
    (9) a suggested plan on how to improve civilian care at 
MTFs and any challenges faced when working with civilian 
insurance providers;
    (10) an analysis of how reduced medical manning has limited 
the Department's ability to engage in civilian partnerships; 
and
    (11) a description of any threats that would jeopardize 
military/civilian partnerships.

                          COVID-19 Discharges

    The committee understands the Department of Defense and the 
Military Departments have used different discharge 
characterizations to administratively separate service members 
that have refused to take COVID-19 vaccination per the 
Secretary of Defense Memorandum, ``Mandatory Coronavirus 
Disease 2019 Vaccination of Department of Defense Service 
Members,'' August 24, 2021. The Military Departments have 
administratively separated over 4,000 servicemember with either 
an honorable discharge, a general discharge under honorable 
conditions or in some instances an entry level separation. For 
non-entry level service-members receiving a general discharge 
under honorable conditions they are no longer entitled to some 
benefits under the Department of Veterans Affairs like the post 
9/11 GI bill. DoD and the Military Departments have not yet 
standardized many of their COVID-19 administrative processes as 
evidenced by some Services choosing different characterizations 
of service for COVID-19 vaccine refusal. The committee 
encourages the Secretary of Defense to consider reversing this 
decision and retroactively funding these benefits to those 
former service members receiving a general discharge under 
honorable conditions for a COVID-19 vaccination refusal aside 
from any misconduct. 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 
December 31, 2022, on how the Department has standardized the 
process for separation characterizations across the Services 
and the feasibility by which DoD may consider reviewing and 
potentially upgrading administrative discharges characterized 
as general under honorable condition for COVID-19 vaccination 
refusal.

                      COVID-19 Exemption Standards

    The committee understands the Department of Defense has 
promulgated a policy on ``Uniform Standards for Exempting 
Service Members from Receiving an Otherwise Mandated 
Coronavirus Disease 2019 Vaccine.'' This policy was in response 
to NDAA 2022 Sec. 720, which required the establishment of 
uniform standards across DoD and the Military Departments. 
However, the current medical and administrative exemption 
process to include religious accommodations appears disjointed 
and lacks a method for process standardization which would help 
meet congressional intent. 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 
July 31, 2022, on the standardization of COVID-19 processes to 
include the following:
    (1) An overview of the DoD organization responsible for 
standardizing COVID-19 medical and administrative processes to 
include religious accommodations;
    (2) The measurement for achieving the standardization end 
state;
    (3) The plan of actions and milestones for achieving this 
end state;
    (4) Each Military Department's efforts to standardize under 
their processes under the defined DoD end state;
    (5) Each Military Department's ability to collect and track 
data related to exemptions and the process by which DoD 
collates this data to inform policy;
    (6) Lessons learned in the process of achieving 
standardization; and
    (7) Any legislative actions or policy recommendations that 
will assure standardization actions are completed across the 
Services and throughout DoD.

      Defense Health Agency Readiness and Administrative Processes

    The committee understands the Defense Health Agency (DHA) 
is moving toward promoting patient goal setting and encouraging 
optimal wellness through advocacy, ongoing communication, 
health education, coordination, and facilitation of necessary 
care services and resources. Additionally, the Military Health 
System (MHS) has continued to identify and execute enterprise-
wide process improvements on behalf of Service members, their 
families and beneficiaries, while also ensuring readiness of 
health professionals. However, a number of administrative 
challenges remain regarding coordination of patient care and 
appointments. 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 
February 1, 2023, on the following:
    (1) Readiness--An analysis of how much time military and 
civilian health professionals spend on military related 
readiness training requirements.
    (2) Initial appointments--An analysis of how much time, on 
average, a primary care provider spends in an initial 
appointment on administrative intake vs. patient care.
    (3) Initial appointments--An analysis of how much time, on 
average, a specialty provider spends in an initial appointment 
on administrative intake vs. patient care.
    (4) Follow-up--An analysis on how a standard for follow-up 
care appointments can be developed, measured and implemented.
    (5) Case Management--An analysis of how much money it would 
take to ensure every TRICARE beneficiary has access to case 
management services.
    (6) Average Military Day--An analysis of the average time a 
military health professional spends seeing patients on a daily 
basis minus readiness and administrative intake requirements.
    (7) Average Civilian Day--An analysis of the average time a 
civilian health professional spends seeing patients on a daily 
basis minus readiness and administrative intake requirements.
    (8) Acuity--An assessment of whether acuity is measured 
across health care providers when determining who is available 
for future appointments.

           Defense Healthcare Management System Modernization

    The committee commends the Defense Health Agency (DHA) for 
making significant progress with the deployment of the new 
electronic health record MHS GENESIS, a safe, high-quality 
single, common electronic health record for service members, 
veterans, and their families. MHS GENESIS has been a model 
program which has remained on schedule and under budget while 
improving the collection of vital health data for hundreds of 
thousands of patients, thus increasing the quality of care 
delivered to service members and their families. Upon full 
deployment, approximately 9.6 million patients will benefit 
from a new electronic health record. A program of this 
complexity needs enhanced sustainment including a complete 
analysis of subsystems comprising the Federal electronic health 
record ecosystem that need to be modernized. As MHS GENESIS 
continues to be deployed to all military installations through 
2023, the committee urges DHA to focus on innovation, 
modernization, and harmonization to optimize healthcare 
outcomes and prepare for an enhanced sustainment phase 
embracing a continuous capability delivery methodology. The 
committee also urges DHA to continue to monitor provider 
concerns about the accuracy and completeness of patient health 
care information transferred to MHS GENESIS and develop and 
implement plans of action to address the concerns.

                  Defense Intrepid Network Transition

    The committee notes the important work of the National 
Intrepid Center of Excellence in pioneering advancements in 
patient-centered, holistic interdisciplinary clinical care and 
research for traumatic brain injury and associated injuries. 
The committee believes the Department requires a distributed, 
unified platform for care and treatment of brain injuries and 
notes with interest the development and integration of the 
Intrepid Spirit Centers throughout the continental United 
States, including brain health clinics in Alaska and Germany. 
The committee encourages the Department to accelerate its 
efforts to transition the Defense Intrepid Network to a program 
of record and directs the Secretary of Defense to brief to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by March 31, 2023 on it 
strategy, timeline, and estimated resource requirements to 
complete this transition. This briefing shall also include a 
summary of the Department's actions on reporting, detection and 
treatment of anomalous health incidents and provide 
recommendations to ensure future readiness for this category of 
brain injury.

                    Department of Defense Nutrition

    The Committee understands the Department of Defense is 
making progress with the development of nutrition policy and 
governance. Moreover, the Committee notes the DoD Nutrition 
Committee has established the Food and Nutrition Subcommittee 
and Dietary Supplements and Other Self-Care Products 
Subcommittee that provide policy recommendations on their 
respective areas of expertise. Additionally, work has been 
completed on mapping the stakeholders within the DoD Food and 
Nutrition Landscape. 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 
January 31, 2023, on the establishment of the Defense Feeding 
and Nutrition Board (DFNB) to include the following:
    (1) The composition, governance structure and timeline for 
implementation of the DFNB;
    (2) DoD's process and methodology for revising the service 
Buyers' Guides;
    (3) Additional nutrition policies and procedures that 
require updating; and
    (4) Any additional actions DoD needs to take to meet omega-
3 fatty acid and other nutritional requirements to ensure 
nutritional readiness of Service members.

 Department of Defense Report on Cardiac and Kidney Issues in Service 
      Members Prior to and Following the COVID Vaccine Requirement

    The committee understands that kidney and cardiac care in 
the Military Health System is a vital component to service-
member readiness. The Committee also notes that service members 
have been required to receive COVID-19 vaccinations as a force 
health protection requirement. Therefore, the committee directs 
the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the Committee 
on Armed Services of the House of Representatives not later 
than March 1, 2023, on the prevalence and incidence of kidney 
and cardiac issues in servicemembers in 2019 compared to the 
prevalence and incidence of kidney and cardiac incidences in 
servicemembers in 2021 and 2022.

         Digitization of Department of Defense Pathology Slides

    The Department of Defense Joint Pathology Center (JPC) has 
begun an effort to digitize millions of pathology slides that, 
if leveraged to its fullest potential, could advance the 
diagnosis and treatment of thousands of illnesses that directly 
impact the health readiness of the Armed Forces and its 
beneficiaries. The committee is concerned that the process by 
which the JPC has chosen to digitize may not fully incorporate 
advances in technology to scale this effort in a timely manner, 
nor will the current process allow for the swift digitization 
of these deteriorating slides. In order to move this effort 
forward, we encourage the Department to apply advancements 
already developed, such as through the use of an augmented 
reality microscope developed by the Joint Artificial 
Intelligence Center and the Defense Innovation Unit. In 
addition, the committee believes that stronger integration 
between the JPC and the Department of Defense Chief Data 
Officer (CDO) needs to occur. The committee directs the CDO, in 
consultation with the JPC, to conduct a comprehensive 
assessment of the current JPC pathology digitization effort, to 
include whether the current strategy and contract provide for 
the level of image quality and technical requirements necessary 
to fully utilize available advanced technology, including the 
use of artificial intelligence, to develop deep learning 
algorithms that can be used to help assist in predictive health 
models and assessments, and whether this capability is required 
by the military.
    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 April 1, 2023, on the 
results of the comprehensive assessment.

                     Discharges Related to COVID-19

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense's COVID-
19 vaccine policy has resulted in service members either 
involuntarily or voluntarily leaving the Armed Forces. The 
separation of service members could have a negative impact on 
readiness at a time when recruitment rates are low and threats 
from adversaries are high. To better understand the readiness 
impacts of the Department's COVID-19 vaccine policy, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives by September 5, 2022, on the number of 
discharges due to the mandate. The briefing shall include:
    (1) the number of service members that have been 
involuntarily discharged over the vaccine mandate,
    (2) the number of service members that have been granted 
medical exemptions,
    (3) the number of service members that have been granted 
religious exemptions, and
    (4) whether the Department of Defense and the military 
services are tracking what impact the COVID-19 vaccine policy 
may be having on recruiting and retention.

            Electronic Health Record System Interoperability

    The committee is concerned about the findings in the recent 
Department of Defense Inspector General report ``Joint Audit of 
the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans 
Affairs Efforts to Achieve Electronic Health Record System 
Interoperability.''
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than December 31, 2022, on the status of addressing the 
following:
    (1) what are the elements to determine the type of 
healthcare information that constitutes a complete electronic 
health record;
    (2) how will the Departments develop and implement a plan 
for migrating legacy patient healthcare information needed for 
a patient's complete electronic health record once the Federal 
Electronic Health Record Modernization office determines the 
type of patient healthcare information that constitutes a 
complete patient electronic health record;
    (3) how will the Department of Defense mitigate the impact 
on providers caused by lapses or errors in the data included;
    (4) the development and implementation of a plan for 
creating interfaces that would allow medical devices to connect 
and transfer patient healthcare information to Cerner 
Millennium;
    (5) the development and implementation of a plan to modify 
Cerner Millennium user roles to ensure that users are granted 
access to only the patient healthcare information necessary to 
perform their job responsibilities;
    (6) any oversight or policy challenges the Federal 
Electronic Health Record Modernization office may have in 
implementing these recommendations; and
    (7) any legislative authorities that may be needed to 
effectively implement the recommendations.

                Evaluation of Suicide Prevention Efforts

    The committee notes that a 2021 Government Accountability 
Office (GAO) review (GAO-21-300) of the Department of Defense's 
service member suicide prevention efforts found that 
``Department of Defense Needs to Fully Assess Its Non-Clinical 
Suicide Prevention Efforts and Address Any Impediments to 
Effectiveness.'' The Department concurred with the following 
three recommendations made by GAO to address the findings of 
the report:
    (1) the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and 
Readiness should require the Defense Suicide Prevention Office 
(DSPO) to collaborate with the military services to develop a 
process to ensure that individual non-clinical suicide 
prevention efforts are assessed for effectiveness in the 
military population;
    (2) the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and 
Readiness should require DSPO to collaborate with the military 
services to develop consistent suicide-related definitions to 
be used Department-wide and require them to be used in the 
updated Department and military service policies; and
    (3) the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and 
Readiness should enhance collaboration between DSPO and the 
Psychological Health Center of Excellence on the production of 
their annual suicide reports to minimize duplication of 
efforts.
    According to GAO, recommendations 2 and 3 have been 
implemented by the Department. Recommendation 2 was also 
addressed by section 726 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81). The committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2023, 
on the Defense Suicide Prevention Office's progress in 
implementing all three of these GAO recommendations and section 
726 of Public Law 117-81.

      Existing Mental Healthcare Gaps at the Department of Defense

    Our servicemembers are facing increasing wait times to 
access the mental health care they may need. To better 
understand the mental health gaps that exist for the committee 
directs the Comptroller General of the United States to provide 
a report to the House Armed Services Committee no later than 
October 1, 2023. This report should include the following:
    (1) addressing all ongoing efforts by the Department to 
address mental health, including those occurring at individual 
installations; and
    (2) mental health gaps the Department is struggling to 
address or may be unable to address.

    Feasibility of TRICARE Benefits for Military Reserve Technicians

    The committee notes the dedicated service of dual-status 
military reserve technicians, the members of our military 
reserve forces who also serve daily in a civilian capacity 
while wearing the uniform and work directly alongside their 
active-duty counterparts. These dual-status military reserve 
technicians work daily in uniform and perform the same duties, 
have the same responsibilities, and conduct themselves in a 
military manner exactly like their active-duty counterparts. 
However, despite serving full-time in uniform (albeit in a 
government civilian employee status) these technicians do not 
receive the same benefits as the active-duty members they work 
beside daily, most notably in the area of healthcare and 
TRICARE benefits. The committee recognizes the commitment and 
contribution of these dual-status reserve technicians and the 
critical role they play in serving as continuity and expertise 
in the daily defense of our nation. Given the critical role of 
dual-status reserve technicians, and the significant quality of 
life improvements that could be achieved with greater access to 
TRICARE benefits and military healthcare, the committee 
encourages the Department of Defense to seek innovative ways to 
provide enhanced healthcare benefits to dual-status reserve 
technicians. Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary 
of Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services by July 1, 2023 on the feasibility of expanding 
TRICARE and military healthcare benefits to dual-status reserve 
technicians across the services. The briefing shall include, at 
a minimum, the following:
    (1) A report of the total number of dual-status reserve 
technicians in the services;
    (2) A report of the current healthcare benefits provided to 
dual-status military reserve technicians;
    (3) A preliminary assessment of the viability of providing 
full TRICARE and military healthcare benefits to dual-status 
technicians;
    (4) An analysis of the cost of providing these benefits to 
dual-status reserve technicians;
    (5) What, if any, legislative changes would be required to 
facilitate expanding full TRICARE and military healthcare 
benefits to dual-status technicians; and
    (6) Any barriers to expanding full TRICARE and military 
healthcare benefits to dual-status reserve technicians the 
Secretary of Defense deems relevant.

                         Global Health Security

    The committee commends the Department of Defense (DoD) for 
its continued efforts to support force health protection and 
readiness through active research, development, and acquisition 
activities both domestically and internationally. The Committee 
is aware of existing efforts within DoD to prevent, detect, and 
treat known infectious diseases and biological threats 
impacting deployed forces around the globe and encourages DoD 
to continue investments in these areas. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health 
Affairs in coordination with the Assistant Secretary of Defense 
for Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Defense Programs to 
provide a briefing no later than September 30, 2023, to the 
congressional defense committees on DoD's activities to support 
global health security. At a minimum, the briefing will include 
the following:
    (1) A review of existing research, development, and 
procurement investments supporting global health security 
across DoD.
    (2) Identification of current and planned collaborations 
with other Federal entities supportive of global health 
security.
    (3) Identification of and recommendations for addressing 
research, development, and procurement capability gaps across 
DoD related to global health security.
    (4) An assessment of the feasibility of establishing a 
consortium in collaboration with academic, industry, and 
international partners focused on Joint Force global health 
security needs.

                          Heparin Supply Chain

    The committee recognizes the importance of heparin for 
military service members as an essential blood product used in 
the field, at other operational locations, and at hospitals. 
The committee is concerned about the overreliance on pigs from 
foreign sources. As prolonged field care and other operational 
settings continues to increase, the Department of Defense must 
ensure heparin remains available and invest in the development 
of heparin sourced in the United States and independent of 
animal sources. The committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by March 1, 2023, on opportunities to expand the heparin supply 
chain for the Department and how investments in research of 
artificially made heparin can assist military readiness.

        Holistic Health and Fitness and Musculoskeletal Injuries

    The committee notes the success of the United States Army's 
Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) program in developing 
academic partnerships with institutions that already have 
existing injury prevention and human performance programs to 
engage in research and data collection regarding 
musculoskeletal injuries to improve health and force readiness. 
The committee encourages the relevant parties to continue these 
partnerships in an expanded capacity to include additional 
areas of physical fitness and injury prevention, mental health 
and cognitive performance, and nutrition. The committee further 
encourages research collaborations to develop more refined 
predictive analytics of force readiness through both virtual 
simulation programs and field testing. The committee notes that 
non-combat injuries greatly impact soldier health and readiness 
and are the leading cause of outpatient medical encounters 
(more than 2 million annually) among Active Component soldiers. 
In addition, non-combat musculoskeletal injuries (MSKIs) may 
account for nearly 60 percent of soldiers' limited duty days 
and 65 percent of soldiers who cannot deploy for medical 
reasons and an increased reason for medical separations. MSKIs 
are also responsible for exorbitant medical costs to the U.S. 
Government, including service-connected disability 
compensation. A significant subset of soldiers develop chronic 
pain or long-term disability after injury; this may increase 
their risk for chronic disease or secondary health deficits 
potentially associated with MSKIs.
    Therefore, the committee directs 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, 2023, on 
the opportunities to develop pilot graduate degree and 
certificate programs necessary to staff and sustain the H2F 
performance teams and the feasibility of developing a pilot 
program for Army personnel to address musculoskeletal injuries.

                  Importance of Regenerative Medicine

    The committee recognizes the importance of regenerative 
medicine to treat service members and supports organizations 
that utilize regenerative medicine to treat serious or chronic 
injuries sustained in battle or in the line of duty in non-
combat regular operations. This capability can be applied to 
treat spine, musculoskeletal, and orthopedic injuries with non-
invasive, safety-proven alternatives to surgery.
    The committee believes there could be potential cost 
savings from utilizing regenerative medicine as an alternative 
to traditional surgery. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than March 1, 2023, on the potential benefits of increasing the 
utilization of regenerative medicine. This briefing shall 
include efforts undertaken by the Department to leverage 
commercially available digital health solutions to promote 
patient activation, engagement, and education while assessing 
remote patient monitoring data to measure efficacy, value, 
quality, safety, and individual medical readiness.

  Improving Military Readiness through Physical Therapists Serving in 
                           Primary Care Roles

    The committee recognizes that the readiness of our Armed 
Forces and the health of our military servicemembers are 
inextricably linked. The committee also acknowledges that 
neuromusculoskeletal care is a critical aspect of force 
preservation and that physical therapists are 
neuromusculoskeletal experts with unique training on 
rehabilitating and preventing injuries that impact military 
readiness. However, the committee is concerned that service 
members face significant administrative burdens when seeking 
care from physical therapists. These administrative burdens 
ultimately increase costs and prolong delays in care. The 
committee is aware of an eighteen-month study conducted at 
Joint Base Lewis-McChord and published in the journal Military 
Medicine that designated physical therapists as Primary Care 
Neuromusculoskeletal Experts (NMSEs). The study found that 
using physical therapists in a primary care role led to a 
demonstrated reduction in imaging, medication prescribed, 
number of physical therapy visits, and overall healthcare 
utilization. In the context of this study at Joint Base Lewis-
McChord, increased access to physical therapists serving a 
specialized primary care capacity also decreased overall 
healthcare costs at a conservative estimate of $3.6 million and 
improved overall medical readiness.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report not later than June 1, 2023 to the House 
Armed Services Committee, analyzing the feasibility of allowing 
physical therapists to serve in a Primary Care NMSE role 
throughout the Department of Defense. The review shall 
determine whether a Primary Care NMSE role for physical 
therapists will improve patient outcomes, military readiness, 
preservation of the force, and reduce costs.

                     Infectious Disease Diagnostics

    The committee encourages the Department of Defense, through 
the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, to continue to develop and 
then deploy a diagnostic tool that is operational at the point 
of need to enable warfighters to effectively protect themselves 
from natural and manmade pathogens in order to maximize their 
ability to train, fight, and win in a multitude of 
environments.

        Integrated Continental United States Medical Operations

    The committee notes the recent designation of the United 
States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM) as the supported command 
for development of the Integrated Continental United States 
(CONUS) Medical Operational Plan (ICMOP). The committee 
understands the importance of the ICMOP in coordinating the 
reception, movement, and care for Department of Defense (DOD) 
casualties resulting from an attack on the homeland or from 
overseas contingency operations including Department support to 
and use of the National Disaster Medical System (NDMS). The 
committee also recognizes the close alignment USNORTHCOM's 
planning responsibilities for ICMOP with the intent of the 
National Disaster Medical System (NDMS) pilot program 
authorized by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) and reauthorized by the William 
M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283). Despite the recent 
experience of the COVID-19 pandemic response, the committee is 
concerned that the Department's preparedness to support a 
subsequent, more serious national health emergency in 
coordination with civil authorities remains limited. Therefore, 
the committee urges the commander, USNORTHCOM, in coordination 
with the appropriate defense health officials, convene the 
Federal partners of the NDMS to evaluate current national 
requirements for the utilization of NDMS definitive care, 
patient movement, and domestic NDMS medical evacuation across 
the spectrum of potential CONUS and overseas threat scenarios. 
Furthermore, the committee directs the Commander, USNORTHCOM to 
provide a briefing to the Committee on Armed Services of the 
House of Representatives no later than January 31, 2023 with 
these findings and a recommendation for recurring exercises and 
evaluations to enhance military readiness for support to and 
use of the NDMS.

Integration of Wearable Biometric Technology in Department of the Army 
                             Basic Training

    The committee believes biometric wearable sensors that are 
data secure will provide leadership with better awareness for 
how personnel are functioning from a cognitive perspective 
throughout the day. Monitoring physiological load throughout 
the total duration of the basic training pipeline would provide 
a baseline for the Department of Defense to actively and 
continually enable the growth and sustainability of a 
healthier, ready force. In addition, the deployment of secure 
biometric wearable sensors could create greater connectivity 
among recruits and with recruiters to promote higher rates of 
ascension from signing commitment paperwork to entering basic 
training. Furthermore, given the staggering rates of veteran 
suicides, monitoring the physiological load of young soldiers 
will assist in creating a blueprint on how to prioritize the 
mental health of the war fighter during and after their active 
service.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Commander, U.S. Army 
Training and Doctrine Command, to submit a report to the 
congressional defense committees no later than June 1, 2023, on 
the feasibility of utilizing commercial off the shelf non-
medical-grade biometric wearable sensors for new recruits to 
determine ``clean'' physiological baseline data. The report 
should include analysis of whether use of these wearables will 
decrease attrition rates; how the data can inform the Army's 
Holistic Health and Fitness (H2F) program; and the potential 
for developing and sustaining more mentally and physically 
resilient Soldiers, Reservists, and National Guardsmen and 
women.

   Leveraging Dual-Use Pharmaceuticals to Address Current and Future 
                             Medical Needs

    The committee recognizes that events in Ukraine have 
highlighted the potential for adversaries to develop and deploy 
a variety of non-conventional weapons. Chemical weapons might 
include mass deployment of opioids, both synthetic and natural. 
Russia's use of carfentanil in response to a theater hostage 
situation provides important insights into the operational 
deployment of opioids to disable large numbers of troops or 
civilians. The committee understands the Biomedical Advanced 
Research and Development Authority (BARDA) is developing a 
novel mechanism as a medical countermeasure to address civilian 
risk of life-threatening respiratory depression resulting from 
opioid exposure. This work may be directly relevant to service 
members in battlefield situations due to the threat of nerve or 
chemical agent attacks, as well as a therapeutic response to 
weaponized opioids. In addition, this novel drug may enable 
superior pain management of wounded service members by reducing 
risk of respiratory depression associated with high doses of 
narcotics as well as offering a counter to respiratory 
depression in opioid overdose. Therefore, the committee 
encourages the Department of Defense to leverage BARDA's 
investment in promising dual-use discoveries to address current 
and future Department of Defense medical requirements.

                     Mental Health Access Standards

    The committee is concerned that service members have not 
been able to receive a consistent standard of care with 
specialty behavioral healthcare services in the direct or 
purchased care system. Further, service members and their 
families have experienced delays in obtaining necessary 
behavioral health services. The committee seeks to evaluate 
service member and beneficiary access standards for behavioral 
health services.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives not later than March 1, 
2023, focused on service members' and their families' 
behavioral health access to care standards for direct and 
purchased care systems. The report shall also include 
information on the following:
    (1) the current process for measuring access to care 
standards for behavioral health in the direct care system and 
by managed care support contractors;
    (2) the process for tracking follow-on appointments after 
the initial intake visit with a behavioral health provider in 
the direct care system and by managed care support contractors; 
and
    (3) the criteria for how the access to care standards will 
be managed in the next TRICARE contract.

                        Mental Health Providers

    The committee supports the Department of Defense's 
continuing efforts to ensure that service members have access 
to timely high-quality mental health services and providers. 
However, the committee notes that the behavioral health and 
mental health workforce within the Department has in some 
instances not kept pace with the demand for these services. 
Therefore, the committee encourages the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Health Affairs and the Director of the Defense 
Health Agency to revise regulations regarding employment of 
clinical psychologists to include those who graduate from 
programs accredited by the Psychological Clinical Science 
Accreditation System.

              Mental Healthcare Access for Servicemembers

    The committee remains concerned for the lack of mental 
health resources available to servicemembers. At some 
installations, it can be months before a servicemember can 
access a therapist or other resources. In some instances, 
servicemembers are going into their neighboring communities to 
visit local clinics and organizations to receive mental health 
care. It is vital that the Department formulate creative 
solutions to address the mental health crisis facing service 
members. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to provide a briefing to the House Armed Services 
Committee, not later than January 30, 2023. This briefing 
should include a strategy for how the Department can engage 
with communities, including nearby resources like Certified 
Behavioral Health Clinics, surrounding installations to support 
the mental health of our servicemembers.

             Mobile Applications for Mental Health Patients

    The committee notes that warfighters have a 150% higher 
risk of suicide than the general population, up to 25% 
prevalence of depression, and up to 20% higher incidence of 
anxiety disorders. The committee recognizes the challenges of 
identifying these servicemembers and the need for them to be 
placed in a correct treatment pathway and be monitored for 
signs of deterioration during or after treatment. The committee 
also recognizes the shortage of mental health care specialists 
in rural areas, where as many as 65% of nonmetropolitan 
counties do not have psychiatrists, and over 60% of rural 
Americans live in designated mental health provider shortage 
areas, and the challenges associated with providing acute 
behavioral health intervention to servicemembers who reside in 
rural areas.
    The committee notes that mobile application technologies 
are commercially available that can run on a cellphone or other 
device such as a computer or tablet to facilitate mental 
healthcare remotely to service members who reside more than one 
hour from the nearest behavioral health facility. These new 
technologies can assist the service member to journal their 
feelings while analyzing their voice for severity of depression 
and anxiety. The committee recognizes that this new technology 
can identify, triage, and monitor for depression and anxiety 
severity and simultaneously facilitate micro-interventions for 
those patients with mild and moderate levels of severity. This 
allows the scarce resource of providers to prioritize the most 
severe patients appropriately while the less severe patients 
can be assisted using digital technology powered by evidence-
based techniques requiring fewer touchpoints by the providers.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Director of the Defense Health Agency, 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than February 1, 2023, on the feasibility of 
incorporating this technology into existing mental health care 
services as well as utilizing mobile applications for providing 
behavioral and mental health services to servicemembers living 
over 60 minutes from the nearest mental health provider.

             National Disaster Medical System Surge Program

    The committee understands the importance of the National 
Disaster Medical System (NDMS) pilot program authorized by the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public 
Law 116-92) and reauthorized by the William M. (Mac) Thornberry 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public 
Law 116-283). Moreover, the specifics of the NDMS pilot will 
address the potential national security ramifications of 
limited medical surge capacity to care for casualties returning 
from an overseas wartime contingency, an attack on the 
homeland, or other national security medical emergency. The 
committee is also waiting on an updated integrated medical 
operations plan from the Department of Defense and remains 
concerned about the ability of the Military Health System to 
treat casualties during major contingency operations or in 
support of a potential widescale public health support 
operation.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 
to submit a report to the Committee on Armed Services of the 
House of Representatives not later than March 1, 2023, that 
includes the following:
    (1) the status and overview of any capability-based 
assessments that were completed or are being conducted on 
medical surge capacity related to the NDMS pilot;
    (2) the status of the development of potential services and 
Joint Staff requirements for the NDMS surge capacity;
    (3) the status of the Military-Civilian NDMS 
Interoperability Study which was initiated in December 2020 by 
the National Center for Disaster Medicine and Public Health, a 
component of the Uniformed Services University of the Heath 
Sciences;
    (4) a plan of action and milestones required in the NDMS 
pilot to include a funding plan across the Future Years Defense 
Program that will support the pilot to include the potential 
development of a full-scale prototype medical surge capability;
    (5) recommendations related to the establishment of a 
potential Joint Center for Emergency Medical Training, 
Readiness, and Coordination in partnership with the Department 
of Health and Human Services;
    (6) actions taken at each of the five NDMS pilot locations; 
and
    (7) a description of planning events, exercises, signed 
agreements between the Department and civilian medical 
partnership locations, and any additional capacity provided to 
the Department through the NDMS partnership.

                 Negative Pressure Wound Therapy Review

    The committee commends the Department of Defense for its 
continued research and development activities related to 
treating injuries sustained by service members in austere 
environments. The committee understands the importance of 
providing lifesaving technologies to treat combat-related 
wounds and encourages the Department to continue pursuing the 
development and fielding of critical technologies supporting 
wound healing. Given the injury patterns and medical logistical 
burdens anticipated in future combat operations, the committee 
is concerned with the potential obsolescence of existing 
negative pressure wound therapy devices. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report 
to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
of Representatives not later than March 1, 2023, on the 
Department's plans for continued use of negative pressure wound 
therapy in managing combat-related wounds. At a minimum, the 
report should include the following:
    (1) a review of existing negative pressure wound therapy 
devices currently used across the Department including an 
assessment of their utility in supporting wound treatment in 
future combat operations;
    (2) a comprehensive Department of Defense strategy 
providing joint direction to the Military Health System 
outlining requirements, key performance parameters, and 
specifications for negative pressure wound therapy devices for 
use in future combat casualty care scenarios; and
    (3) a strategy that incorporates research, development, and 
procurement management of next-generation negative pressure 
wound therapy devices.

         Next Generation Freeze-Dried Blood Product Development

    Hemorrhage is the leading cause of mortality from 
potentially survivable injuries on the battlefield. Numerous 
civilian and military studies show survival can be increased by 
providing platelets and plasma at the point of injury. At the 
current rate, lifesaving blood products, or their derivatives, 
under development will not be available to the warfighter for 
several years. Accelerating development of next generation 
blood products and blood derived products in clinical trials 
and continuing to develop new products that can be incorporated 
in a combat medics field pack is critical to meeting national 
preparedness goals. These products are vitally needed to 
support casualties in theater until they can be evacuated. The 
committee understands the significant importance of providing 
blood products to all levels of care including combat medics 
for treatment at the point of injury. The reliance on the 
walking blood bank program, which began during the Spanish 
Civil War (1936-39), as the only available alternative to 
American warfighters when NATO partners routinely deploy frozen 
or lyophilized blood products is unacceptable. In response, the 
committee has encouraged Department of Defense, over the past 
several years, to fund the advanced development of freeze-dried 
blood products. The Department indicated in previous reports 
that the research and development efforts would result in a 
Food and Drug Administration approved product by the end of 
2020. The committee remains concerned that, to date, no product 
has been fully approved and made available for use.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
to provide a briefing no later than April 1, 2023, to the House 
Armed Services Committee, on efforts to advance next generation 
blood products with greater capabilities than those currently 
available. The briefing shall include the status of the 
development and testing of freeze-dried blood products, 
specifically an assessment of the current regulatory and 
development status of lead next generation blood products that 
are key components of the Department's effort to increase 
survivability in theater, especially in prolonged field care 
environments:
    (1) An assessment of the current regulatory and development 
status of lead next generation blood products that are key 
components of the Department's effort to increase survivability 
in theater, especially in prolonged field care environments;
    (2) An assessment of appropriated funding approved and 
committed to advance freeze-dried blood products or blood 
derived products to FDA approval, and how programs (including 
Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs) are 
prioritizing projects, as well as recommendations on 
improvement to oversight of prioritization of projects;
    (3) Detailed assessment on funding invested to date per 
project, progress of the research, and description of how the 
project will improve hemorrhage control in theater, including 
applicability in prolonged field care settings, peer and near-
peer conflicts and austere environments;
    (4) Funding level necessary to rapidly advance viable 
candidates that would significantly impact the availability of 
next generation blood products to the warfighter; and
    (5) Department strategy to rapidly advance freeze-dried 
blood products or blood product derivatives currently in 
clinical trials, with a clear and defined timeline to FDA 
approval for the appropriate indications and deployment to the 
military branches.

  Novel Antibiotics Engineered to be Effective Against Drug Resistant 
                                Bacteria

    The committee recognizes the threat posed by antimicrobial 
resistance and the need to acquire more effective antibiotics 
available for combat care and bioterrorism response. Moreover, 
the committee is alarmed by the Future of Defense Task Force 
findings that 80 percent of ingredients used to manufacture 
medicines and 97 percent of ingredients used to manufacture 
antibiotics are sourced from suppliers within China. The 
committee is concerned that insecure supply chains are capable 
of crippling or halting access to critical, novel antibiotics 
which are specifically engineered to be effective against drug 
resistant bacteria.
    The committee also recognizes the need for the Department 
of Defense to access antibiotics with demonstrated efficacy 
against multi-drug resistant bio-pathogens to enhance 
preparedness and support readiness, and to ensure that 
servicemembers have access to the best antibiotic treatments. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than June 1, 2023, that includes the following:
    (1) an assessment of the Department's ability to prioritize 
procurement of novel antibiotics that have a demonstrated 
efficacy against multi-drug resistant bio-pathogens and are 
consistent with the FDA Drug and Biologics Essential Medicines, 
Medical Countermeasures and Critical Inputs List;
    (2) the feasibility of prioritizing the procurement of 
novel antibiotics produced with domestically sourced 
ingredients and that are commercially available within the 
United States;
    (3) the feasibility of procuring and maintaining novel 
antibiotics to be held within the National Defense Stockpile;
    (4) any statutory authority required for the Department to 
prioritize procurement of novel antibiotics produced from 
domestically sourced ingredients or to maintain a supply of 
such antibiotics; and
    (5) any other recommendations or data surrounding the 
procurement of novel antibiotics as determined by the 
Secretary.

                        On-Demand Blood Program

    The committee recognizes the importance of on-demand blood 
technologies in providing military service members access to 
quality, uncontaminated, and fresh blood supplies anywhere in 
the world. The committee acknowledges that this program is run 
by the Uniformed Services University Center for Biotechnology. 
On-demand blood could help provide blood to service members in 
conflicts and natural disasters. Blood developed using advanced 
cellular biomanufacturing techniques has the potential to 
revolutionize both military and civilian healthcare sectors. 
The committee also recognizes that in a potential conflict with 
a near-peer competitor, there will be significant challenges in 
sustaining the readiness of forward-deployed military forces. 
This challenge being significantly more difficult in the United 
States Indo-Pacific Command area of responsibility due to the 
tyranny of distance. On-demand blood will be a critical factor 
in supporting the Department's ability to sustain our military 
in these forward-deployed locations. However, the committee 
notes that the COVID-19 pandemic and the increasing medical 
research requirements across all Department components may 
challenge the consistent resourcing of this program.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than December 31, 2022, on the processes it will employ 
to coordinate the Defense Health Program and Defense Health 
Agency research, development, test, and evaluation efforts to 
ensure that on-demand blood technology research and development 
is resourced to adequately support requirements of the military 
departments and combatant commands. The report should include 
the anticipated funding for the on-demand blood project over 
the Future Years Defense Program as well as information on 
whether this program is identified to be utilized in any 
upcoming training exercises and the plan for this to become a 
program of record.

                      Parent Stress Index Analysis

    The committee is encouraged by Department of Defense 
continued efforts to maintain specialized services for service 
men and women with family members with autism and emphasizes 
the impact on retention of providing effectual, affordable, and 
accessible resources to families under the Autism Care 
Demonstration. However, the committee maintains concerns that 
well-intended attempts to provide specialized treatment through 
the Autism Care Demonstration program put an undue burden on 
parents and are unnecessarily invasive. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination 
with the Defense Health Agency to submit a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2023 on the 
utility, value, functionality and effectiveness of the Autism 
Care Demonstration, Applied Behavior Analysis, Parenting Stress 
Index.

               Prolonged Care in Future Combat Operations

    The committee commends the Department of Defense efforts to 
preserve warfighter health and readiness throughout the 
continuum of care and supports continued research and 
development to modernize combat casualty care by addressing 
medical requirements in the battlespace. The committee is aware 
that future combat operations will pose significant challenges 
to the delivery of care due to contested communications, 
dispersed joint operations in all domains, increased casualty 
volumes, and challenges in access that will delay patient 
movement and timeliness of care. The committee encourages the 
Defense Health Agency to increase research and development 
investments and collaborations with U.S. academic organizations 
conducting trauma-relevant research in overseas austere 
environments to modernize combat casualty care to support 
combat effectiveness and survivability during complex prolonged 
care scenarios.

 Promotion and Retention of Uniformed Psychologists and Social Workers

    The committee is concerned that uniformed behavioral health 
therapists, including clinical psychologists and licensed 
clinical social workers, may be disadvantaged for promotion due 
to their required focus on delivering clinical services to 
patients, which in turn may hinder retention and exacerbate the 
problem of unfilled behavioral health billets. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination 
with the surgeons general of the military departments, to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
February 1, 2023, including, for each military department:
    (1) the promotion rates for clinical psychologists from O-2 
to O-3, O-3 to O-4, O-4 to O-5, and O-5 to O-6 for the three 
previous calendar years,
    (2) the promotion rates for social workers from O-2 to O-3, 
O-3 to O-4, O-4 to O-5, and O-5 to O-6 for the three previous 
calendar years,
    (3) the promotion rates for medical doctors from O-2 to O-
3, O-3 to O-4, O-4 to O-5, and O-5 to O-6 for the three 
previous calendar years,
    (4) a description of the process to select psychologists 
and social workers for promotion, including the standards for 
promotion and a description of the population against which 
psychologists and social workers compete for promotions,
    (5) a description of the barriers faced by uniformed 
psychologists and social workers in being selected for 
promotion compared to other health care specialties,
    (6) a description of any efforts under way or under 
consideration to improve the promotion rates for uniformed 
psychologists and social workers,
    (7) a description of any efforts under way or under 
consideration to increase retention of uniformed psychologists 
and social workers, and
    (8) an analysis of the feasibility of establishing a 
separate or modified promotion process for uniformed 
psychologists and social workers that would increase promotion 
rates for psychologists whose careers have focused on 
delivering clinical behavioral health services to members of 
the Armed Forces.

                  Rapid Deoxyribonucleic Acid Testing

    The committee understands deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) 
technology such as genome sequencing has advanced human 
identification efforts. The Department of Defense funded 
research for the Rapid DNA services and support, not limited to 
the procurement of Rapid DNA instruments and consumables, 
implementation of Rapid DNA instruments that helped enable the 
deployment of rapid DNA mobile devices capable of detecting 
identification and relationships within 90 minutes. The 
committee understands that Rapid DNA services may require some 
range modifications or accommodations to facilitate more 
complex implementation of the technology on the field. The 
committee is concerned that currently used Rapid DNA testing is 
limited to direct familial relationships. The Department should 
explore developing new Rapid DNA devices to detect any familial 
relationships, including long-range relationships. These 
efforts have the potential to support the Department's DNA 
testing efforts while continuing to deliver high-quality, 
reliable, and more effective DNA testing products to conflict 
zones, natural disasters, and mass casualty sites. Countries 
around the world are investing in DNA technology as the next 
evolution of biometrics. The committee recommends the 
Department support further research in developing advanced DNA 
testing techniques to be prepared for DNA as an international 
biometric identifier, including ways to ensure the protection 
of specimens collected and the privacy of all involved.

                   Reducing Musculoskeletal Injuries

    The Committee is acutely aware of the need to treat 
musculoskeletal injuries (MSKIs), which is one of the most 
significant medical impediments to military readiness. Injuries 
primarily affect readiness through increased limited duty days, 
decreased deployability rates, and increased medical separation 
rates. MSKIs are also responsible for exorbitant medical costs 
to the U.S. government, including service-connected disability 
compensation. A significant subset of soldiers develops chronic 
pain or long-term disability after injury; this may increase 
their risk for chronic disease or secondary health deficits 
potentially associated with MSKIs. MSKIs significantly impact 
soldier health and U.S. Army readiness. MSKIs also figure 
prominently in medical disability discharges and long-term, 
service-connected disability costs. To date, there is still not 
a sufficient solution to this problem.
    With stress, trauma and overuse to the muscles, the 
resulting inflammation alters the communication between the 
nervous system and the muscle system to the point where the 
muscles cannot tolerate forces placed upon them; Muscle 
Activation Techniques (MAT) is a technique that is designed to 
improve the ability for the muscles to tolerate forces thus 
reducing the potential for injury. Professional sports teams--
who the U.S. Army CIMT cites as typically more cutting edge--
have utilized MAT to great effect to treat and remedy MSKIs.
    The Committee believes that MAT could be a solution to 
assist soldiers while protecting the government's training 
investment in soldiers by improving their muscle function, 
increasing force readiness, all the while dramatically lowering 
injury costs. By decreasing injury rates, it will increase 
force readiness and durability.
    Therefore, not later than May 1, 2023 the Secretary shall 
provide to the House Committee on Armed Services a briefing on 
the use of MAT, with respect to reduced number of ``repeat'' 
musculoskeletal injuries; a reduction in MSKs injury recovery 
time; a reduction in the pain scale rating associated with MSKs 
in affected areas; and the Increase in Range of Motion in 
affected areas. The briefing shall include whether the 
Department has explored the use of MAT, potential use cases, 
locations where MAT has been used, and any plans for its 
expansion. If the Department has not explored the use of MAT, 
the briefing shall include considerations for not having done 
so.

                   Regenerative Medicine Technologies

    The committee is interested in the most effective 
treatments currently available for burns and wounds suffered by 
the nation's servicemembers in the line of duty. Further, the 
committee is concerned with mortality and morbidity of burns as 
well as additional wound closures, such as those attributed to 
skin defects, scars and ulcers due to direct and indirect 
trauma. These examples of wound conditions are often 
accompanied by a loss of bodily functions, pain, and scarring, 
and often result in significant healthcare costs for 
procedures, dressings, and pain management.
    The committee recognizes that combat and noncombat injuries 
are exceedingly common for our service members. They directly 
affect military readiness, while simultaneously producing a 
substantial burden on both health care and financial resources. 
The consequences of these injuries range from lost duty days to 
non-deployable service members, often requiring extensive 
rehabilitation and often leading to complete or partial 
disability.
    The committee further recognizes that these technologies 
are often available in less than 30 minutes for immediate use, 
facilitate cell processing at the site of treatment without 
specialized laboratory staff, use patient's own skin cells, can 
be used with all skin types and ethnicities, allow for 
treatment of larger areas, speed up healing processes, increase 
the availability of healthy skin for successive treatments, 
minimize hypertrophic scarring, reduce nursing care required, 
minimize the need for dressing changes, reduce the use of drugs 
for pain management, shorten hospital stays, reduce the number 
of outpatient and/or inpatient follow-up visits, reduce the 
need for secondary procedures, and reduce treatment costs, 
leading to faster ``return to duty'' times. Furthermore, 
``spray on skin'' regenerative medicine technologies have 
already been utilized at various medical facilities across the 
country.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by March 1, 2023, on the combat-specific applications of these 
technologies. The briefing should discuss whether there may be 
a need to procure a supply of such products to deploy the 
product for use in field hospitals, satellite clinics, ships, 
or bases throughout the world.

       Report on Prevalence of Adverse Childhood Experiences for 
                             Servicemembers

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Defense Health Agency, to submit a report 
and provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by April 1, 2023, on the prevalence of ACEs amongst 
Servicemembers. Such report shall include the following 
elements:
    (1) An analysis of the prevalence of ACEs among 
servicemembers based on industry standard definition.
    (2) An analysis of the prevalence of ACEs among 
servicemembers by rank, military specialty, age, gender, race, 
ethnicity, education, and other factors as appropriate.
     (3) An analysis of the correlation between servicemembers' 
ACEs and reporting being a victim of domestic violence or 
sexual assault; including correlation with demographic factors 
to include rank, military specialty, age, gender, race, 
ethnicity, education, and additional factors as appropriate.
    (4) An analysis of the correlation between servicemembers' 
ACEs and perpetrating domestic violence, sexual assault, or 
other offenses under the Uniform Code of Military Justice; 
including correlation with demographic factors to include rank, 
military specialty, age, gender, race, ethnicity, education, 
and additional factors as appropriate.
    (5) The report shall include an analysis of the funding, 
facilities, and personnel the military mental health system 
would need to preemptively screen and treat active duty 
servicemembers' for ACEs at the initial point of training or 
initial duty station.

 Report on the Effects of Long COVID on the Readiness and Retention of 
                             Servicemembers

    The committee recognizes there are individuals who have 
recovered from COVID-19 but are still experiencing symptoms 
such as difficulty breathing and brain fog. These symptoms are 
defined by the Center for Disease Control as post-COVID 
symptoms or Long COVID. With the Department reporting more than 
415,000 positive cases amongst servicemembers, the committee is 
concerned about how Long COVID may be affecting those 
servicemembers who recovered from their initial case of COVID.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
report to the congressional defense committees not later than 
January 30th, 2023 on the impact Long COVID is having on the 
readiness and retention of affected servicemembers. The report 
should include any ongoing research the Department has 
conducted on Long COVID with respect to servicemembers, how the 
Department is treating the symptoms related to Long COVID, and 
a strategy on how the Department plans to care for 
servicemembers who are affected by Long COVID moving forward.

        Reserve Periodic Health Assessments Mobile Applications

    The committee understands that the National Guard has moved 
forward in making mobile applications available when requested 
by a State National Guard unit, and that the National Guard 
units using the application are seeing improvement in medical 
readiness assessment. The committee, in seeing this positive 
outcome in the National Guard, encourages the Chief of the Navy 
Reserve, Chief of the Army Reserve, and the Chief of the Air 
Force Reserve to implement a mobile application, fully 
compliant with the Department of Defense cybersecurity 
protocols, that would enable reservists to complete the 
Periodic Health Assessment on a smartphone, tablet, computer, 
or other handheld mobile device and connect directly with 
providers. The committee recommends that the application 
incorporate a flexible interface that allows users to adopt it 
with minimal resources. Additionally, the committee strongly 
encourages that such application should incorporate 
standardized approaches to handle data definition and mapping, 
cybersecurity, device protocols and quality assurance testing 
and support.

Review of Medical Quality Assurance Process in Operational Environments

    The committee understands the importance of ensuring 
quality healthcare is delivered both at military treatment 
facilities as well as in operational environments. At the same 
time, the committee recognizes there may be unique challenges 
in operational settings that may make the provision of 
healthcare more difficult.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to conduct an assessment that examines the 
following:
    (1) whether the Defense Health Agency (DHA) has established 
an effective and efficient credentialing and privileging 
process for providers performing medical or dental care in the 
operational environment;
    (2) is the DHA adhering to the same standards and timelines 
for credentialing and privileging regardless of the healthcare 
setting, i.e. across the continuum of care from the field to 
the military treatment facility;
    (3) once a provider is granted privileges, how does the DHA 
continue to monitor the care provided;
    (4) is the reporting process for patient safety events that 
occur in operational settings;
    (5) are the timelines and reporting requirements being met;
    (6) how are clinical quality management procedures 
implemented and monitored in operational settings;
    (7) what are the unique challenges of providing care in 
operational environments and how are those being mitigated; and
    (8) any recommendations for process or policy improvements.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives not later than March 1, 
2023, on the Comptroller General's preliminary findings and to 
submit a report with the final results at a deadline agreed to 
at the time of the briefing.

              Special Operations Training Medical Coverage

    The committee notes there have been several training 
accidents in recent months that have resulted in the deaths of 
special forces personnel. Although the number is small, the 
committee is concerned with the deaths, especially those in the 
special operations qualification course. The committee 
recognizes the importance of rigorous training initiatives for 
our most elite forces but believes the top priority in this 
training should be ensuring that we are building stronger, 
healthier, and more capable special operators. The committee 
notes that Naval Special Warfare is in the process of 
increasing the medical coverage during Basic Underwater 
Demolition/Seal (BUD/S) training focusing on the days 
immediately following ``Hell Week'' to ensure sailors receive 
the appropriate medical care following the rigorous training. 
Therefore, the committee encourages all military services to 
review their medical care procedures for their respective 
qualification course to ensure the appropriate level of care is 
available to mitigate unnecessary injuries and deaths.

Study on the Connection Between Active-Duty Military Service and Family 
                          Building Challenges

    The committee is concerned that due to the nature of 
military service, members of the Armed Forces and their 
families may encounter unique challenges to family building. 
The Blue Star Families Military Family Lifestyle Survey (MFLS), 
released in March 2022, which included family-building 
questions, showed that of active-duty family respondents, two-
thirds (64%) report challenges with family building and 42% 
reported that the military created challenges in having 
children (including a disproportionate 57% of active-duty 
female service members reporting that family building 
challenges were due to military service). As the first 
comprehensive survey of family building challenges for active-
duty families, we believe this data demands further 
investigation to understand how military service impacts the 
ability of members of the Armed Forces to meet their family 
building goals.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services, 
not later than December 1, 2023, on the connection between 
Active-Duty Military Service and family building challenges.
    The report shall include:
    (1) the prevalence of infertility among Active-Duty Service 
Members and their spouses disaggregated by age-group;
    (2) the number and percentages of Active-Duty Service 
members and their spouses with diagnosed infertility who have 
access to fertility treatment services at Military Treatment 
Facilities;
    (3) the number and percentages of Active-Duty Service 
members and their spouses with diagnosed infertility who do not 
have access to fertility treatment services at Military 
Treatment Facilities;
    (4) an assessment on whether the standard definition of 
infertility, as defined by the Centers for Disease Control, in 
anyway limits members of the Armed Forces from receiving timely 
infertility diagnosis;
    (5) an assessment of the availability of faith based and 
spiritual support in meeting family building challenges;
    (6) an assessment of the connection between family building 
challenges and retention;
    (7) recommendations to address family building challenges 
experienced by members of the Armed Services; and
    (8) any other data or information the Secretary deems 
relevant.

                 Sustainment of Critical Medical Skills

    The committee is concerned with the possible reduction of 
medical readiness training for our service members. Casualties 
were reduced during recent conflicts due to enhanced 
recertifications, training standards, and the development of 
new medical devices. While there are fewer scheduled 
deployments currently, it is still critically important for our 
servicemembers to maintain a heightened level of medical 
readiness.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Health Affairs to submit a report to the Senate 
Committee on Armed Services and the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than March 1, 2023 that provides information 
regarding the sustainment of critical medical skills and 
maintaining an adequate level of medical readiness. The report 
shall include, at a minimum:
    (1) a description of efforts by the Department of Defense 
to maintain a heightened level of medical readiness and how 
these efforts will allow our medical personnel to be ready to 
respond to a conflict in the Indo-Pacific;
    (2) any recent updates on the certification standards for 
service members on Tactical Combat Casualty Care;
    (3) strategic investments made in medical simulation 
training centers and efforts to improve financial efficiency; 
and
    (4) an analysis on the effectiveness of training devices 
that can precisely replicate Tactical Combat Casualty Care.

                      T-5 TRICARE Contract Awards

    The committee understands the importance of the T-5 TRICARE 
contracts that will be awarded later this year to supplement 
existing Defense Health Agency (DHA) resources with contracted 
networks of healthcare providers. Furthermore, the committee 
believes that contracts of this magnitude deserve transparency 
and collaboration with congressional oversight.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Director of the 
Defense Health Agency to submit a report to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
not later than February 1, 2023, on an extensive review of the 
process used in awarding the contracts. The report shall 
include the following:
    (1) an analysis of how the DHA evaluated each contract bid 
for T-5 TRICARE against each offeror's technical rating and 
technical risk rating, past performance, price and cost, and 
small business participation;
    (2) a description of how the DHA plans to improve 
coordination between TRICARE East and TRICARE West and how that 
coordination was considered when awarding the contracts;
    (3) a strategy for how the DHA will plan to improve 
coordination for TRICARE beneficiaries who are traveling 
between TRICARE regions;
    (4) a detailed plan for what an alternative award structure 
of merging TRICARE East and TRICARE West would look like with a 
single provider; and
    (5) a detailed plan for what actions the DHA is taking to 
avoid potential bid protests after awarding the T-5 TRICARE 
contracts.

                   Traumatic Brain Injury Prevention

    With over 400,000 Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI) documented 
within the armed services since 2000, The committee commends 
the Department for its ongoing efforts to combat TBI's and its 
current efforts to speed capabilities to the soldier that can 
prevent TBI's from occurring.
    Over the past several years, the committee has expressed 
particular interest in non-helmet TBI preventative devices that 
are FDA-cleared, commercially available, and currently in use 
across the country. As such, Congress has provided policy and 
support to help facilitate the Army's consideration of such 
non-helmet TBI preventative devices. The committee understands 
that the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command 
(USAMRDC) is currently in the process of evaluating these 
devices for operationally unique environments, particularly 
related to their ability to reduce blast-induced TBI. The 
committee also understands there are efforts within Program 
Executive Office--Soldier to begin evaluating these devices in 
upcoming non-operational training environments. The committee 
strongly supports this approach given the device's FDA 
clearance for blunt force trauma of the type sustained by 
soldiers, and the immediate potential reduction of TBI 
incidents that occur during training. Therefore the Committee 
directs the Secretary of the Army to provide a briefing to the 
Committee on Armed Service of the House of Representatives no 
later 1 February, 2023, on the status of current evaluations of 
non-helmet TBI preventative devices.

   TRICARE Beneficiary and Provider Customer Satisfaction Collection

    The committee is concerned that beneficiaries and providers 
in the direct care system and private sector are not able to 
communicate issues regarding access to care challenges for 
behavioral health.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than March 3, 2023, on the method, collection, and process for 
addressing the customer satisfaction of TRICARE beneficiaries. 
The briefing shall include information on the collection and 
resolution of:
    (1) beneficiary complaints and issues with accessing the 
behavioral health care system;
    (2) the process for monitoring and responding to 
beneficiary complaints that remain unresolved;
    (3) the process for monitoring and responding to 
beneficiary complaints related to coverage, access, denials, 
incorrect provider directory listings, network adequacy, access 
to specialized care within a reasonable distance from their 
homes, overdue or consistently inaccurate payments, and other 
related issues;
    (4) the process for managing timelines for responding to 
beneficiary complaints;
    (5) how customer satisfaction measurements and 
communications with beneficiaries will be managed as the 
Defense Health Agency assumes authority, direction, and control 
of military treatment facilities; and
    (6) how customer satisfaction measurements and 
communications with beneficiaries will be managed and monitored 
in the next TRICARE contract.

                     TRICARE Dialysis Reimbursement

    The committee understands the TRICARE program covers 
dialysis and hemodialysis and services for end-stage renal 
disease. The committee notes that the TRICARE Reimbursement 
Manual changes the reimbursement rates on a regular basis. 
However, there are concerns that the reimbursement rates for 
dialysis services for TRICARE beneficiaries do not match those 
provided for Veterans Affairs patients in outpatient dialysis 
facilities.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the Committee on Armed Services of the 
House of Representatives not later than March 1, 2023, on 
whether dialysis reimbursement rates differ between the 
Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs, 
how Department of Defense dialysis reimbursement rates compare 
to the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program and leading 
insurance companies, and whether Department of Defense 
reimbursement rates differ from those provided by the Centers 
for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

                     TRICARE Qualifying Life Events

    The committee recognizes the unique challenges that service 
members can face when leaving Active Duty service and seeking 
to enroll in their new TRICARE health plan. Currently, requests 
for enrollment in a TRICARE health plan based on a Qualifying 
Life Event (QLE) may be received up to 90 days before and not 
later than 90 days after the date of the QLE. While this 
provides greater flexibility than the civilian sector, the 
committee believes that every effort should be made to ease the 
burden experienced by a service member when they are coming off 
Active Duty and beginning the next phase of their professional 
life. Increasing the flexibility for a TRICARE beneficiary may 
ease the overall burden placed on service members and their 
families.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives not later than March 1, 
2023, that includes the following:
    (1) specific information regarding the current outreach 
that is done to service members as they approach and pass a 
QLE;
    (2) a plan to improve notifications to service members 
about their upcoming QLE with suggestions on how to best make 
changes to their healthcare plan;
    (3) a strategy to improve the TRICARE-eligible 
beneficiaries experience as they approach their QLE;
    (4) an analysis of the impact that increasing the time 
before and after a QLE that a retiring service member can 
enroll in a TRICARE health plan would have; and
    (5) detailed statistics collected through a survey on the 
number of service members who have faced challenges when 
transitioning their healthcare needs at the time they are 
leaving Active Duty service.

         Use of Department of Defense Health Facilities on Guam

    The committee remains concerned that the Secretary of 
Defense and the Secretary of Transportation have not executed 
Section 574 of Public Law 115-254 regarding the provision of 
medical care to Federal Aviation Administration employees, 
their spouses, and their dependent children who are assigned to 
Guam. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to carry out the requirements of subsection (a) of Section 574 
of Public Law 115-254 by December 31, 2022. Further, the 
Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report 
to the congressional defense committees and the House Committee 
on Transportation and Infrastructure not later than June 22, 
2023 on eligibility for and access to Department of Defense 
support facilities by Federal Aviation Administration employees 
in the U.S. territory of Guam. The report shall:
    (1) evaluate the ability of Department of Defense support 
facilities in Guam to adequately serve current military 
personnel and dependent populations;
    (2) determine how any substantial increases to military 
personnel and dependent populations in Guam would impact the 
ability of existing Department of Defense personnel and 
dependents stationed in Guam;
    (3) provide recommendations on any improvements to existing 
Department of Defense facilities which may be needed to ensure 
those facilities in Guam can support an increased population of 
military personnel and dependent population in Guam;
    (4) consider the impact of expanded access to Department of 
Defense support facilities in Guam to Federal Aviation 
Administration employees and their families on the ability of 
those facilities to provide services to military personnel and 
their families;
    (5) recognize the Federal Aviation Administration's vital 
role as the sole provider of radar air traffic control services 
for aircraft traversing into and out of the airspace near and 
above Guam, the vast majority of which are military operations, 
Department of Defense aircraft, or other aircraft traveling to 
Guam in order to interact with Department of Defense 
facilities;
    (6) review the existing authorities authorizing eligibility 
and access for non-military personnel and their dependents to 
Department of Defense support facilities, including health care 
facilities, commissaries, and exchanges, outside the 
continental United States;
    (7) determine the applicability of those existing 
authorities to Department of Defense support facilities in the 
U.S. territory of Guam;
    (8) outline the specific conditions on Guam, which may 
necessitate access to Department of Defense support facilities 
in Guam by Federal Aviation Administration personnel and their 
families; and
    (9) determine any changes in laws or regulations that may 
be necessary to authorize Federal Aviation Administration 
employees and their families access to Department of Defense 
health care facilities, commissaries, and exchanges in Guam.

              Use of Government-Funded Combat Medications

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense has 
invested significant funding over the past two decades on 
medications specifically developed for battlefield application. 
Some of these medications have now received approval from the 
Food and Drug Administration for use by the U.S. military and 
are ready for inclusion in Sets, Kits, and Outfits (SKOs) for 
deployment. Such medications could also be used by allied and 
partner militaries, including for pain relief and evacuation of 
casualties from the battlefield.
    The committee is concerned that the Department continues to 
use legacy medications, including some off-label commercial 
medications, rather than the new medications developed at 
government expense for battlefield applications. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Chairman of Joint Chiefs of Staff to 
brief the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
February 1, 2023, on a timeline and the processes being used to 
integrate government-developed medications into SKOs and aid 
packages for use in the operational environment.

                        Warfighter Brain Health

    The Committee understands the importance of brain health 
beyond treating Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) in our 
warfighters. The Department of Defense is looking for 
initiatives that address many areas of mental health, beyond 
TBI. One area that requires unique and innovative solutions is 
the area of holistic mental health covering both cognitive and 
non-cognitive assessments that address the military member from 
a ``whole person'' solution. There are challenge to these 
issues in providing the warfighter with the most capable 
resources to address their needs. To this end, it is imperative 
that these solutions are sensitive enough to address the root 
cause of mental health issues that may not be related to mental 
illness, but rather simply are of a nature and concern as to 
render the member maladaptive for their given career choice. 
This is especially true in the areas of special operations and 
aviation. To this end, DOD needs to integrate training programs 
for innovative solutions necessary to enhance warfighter 
performance through targeted specific mental health assessment, 
training, and implementation.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
and the Director of Defense Health Agency to report to the 
House Armed Services Committee on how the department plans to 
further advance cognitive and non-cognitive assessments which 
can provide rapid evaluation of warfighter capabilities to 
complete their mission, which can be achieved by training field 
psychologists to administer and evaluate such advanced 
cognitive and non-cognitive assessments. This report must be 
completed and submitted to the committee by December 30, 2022.

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

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                    AbilityOne Program Modernization

    The committee recognizes the work of the Panel on 
Department of Defense and AbilityOne Contracting Oversight, 
Accountability, and Integrity, between 2017 and 2021, to 
consider ways to increase eligibility for individuals who have 
disabilities, including veterans and service-disabled veterans, 
to work in the AbilityOne Program. The Panel's work has 
contributed to improving oversight, accountability, 
transparency, and efficiency in contracting with the AbilityOne 
Program and AbilityOne nonprofits continue to be a vital 
segment of the defense industrial base. The committee 
acknowledges the ongoing work of the AbilityOne Commission to 
implement Panel recommendations and propose rule-making focused 
on prohibiting payment of sub-minimum wages under 14(c) 
certificates as a qualification for participation as an 
AbilityOne nonprofit. The committee also encourages the 
Department of Defense to continue to work to close opportunity 
gaps for underserved communities as it implements the April 
2022 Equity Action Plan.

 Acquisition Workforce Risk Factor Preparedness and Resilience Training

    The Department is overdue in establishing, as directed by 
section 873 of the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal 
Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81), an agreement with a federally 
funded research and development center (FFRDC) to conduct a 
study to identify the body of knowledge and tools needed for 
the Department's acquisition workforce to engage in acquisition 
planning and source selection practices that promote the 
acquisition of resilient and resource-efficient goods, and 
assess the cost, resource, and energy preservation differences 
resulting from selecting environmentally preferable goods and 
services.
    The committee notes there is a corresponding need to ensure 
the acquisition workforce has the capacity needed to account 
for and prepare for disruptions caused by fluctuations in 
resource availability, extreme weather, cybersecurity, or 
pandemics. The private sector maintains best practices for how 
to best evaluate these risks, and the Department could benefit 
from leveraging public-private partnerships and existing 
curriculum to promote continuing education for Department 
personnel on sustaining mission resilience and risk management.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to deliver a briefing 
to the House Committee on Armed Services no later than December 
1, 2022, to provide:
    (1) an update on progress made to engage an FFRDC to 
conduct the study directed by Congress; and
    (2) an evaluation of gaps within the acquisition 
workforce's capabilities to account and prepare for disruptions 
caused by fluctuations in resource availability, extreme 
weather, cybersecurity, or pandemics.

              Additive Manufacturing Certification Process

    The committee understands the Department of Defense 
published its Additive Manufacturing Strategy in January 2021. 
It continues to support the investment in and use of Additive 
Manufacturing (AM) technologies to improve production speed and 
flexibility, including production obsolete parts to address the 
Department's supply chain shortages for aerospace vehicles 
operating in the National Airspace System. The committee also 
understands a challenge and barrier to a broader use of AM and 
its ability to scale production by the Department and other 
federal agencies is the ability to qualify and certify parts, 
including structural components, and their associated 
processes.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than March 1, 2023, on how it is advancing 
qualification and certification of AM processes with regard to 
parts and structural components for aerospace vehicles 
operating in the National Aerospace System. The report will 
include at a minimum:
    (1) current status of the Department's qualification and 
certification of AM parts and processes;
    (2) specific shortfalls, challenges and barriers impacting 
accelerating qualification and certification and recommendation 
on actions Congress and the Department need to take to mitigate 
those shortfalls, challenges and barriers;
    (3) recommendations on how best to align funding and 
improve AM implementation efforts; and
    (4) synergize best practices used in AM across the 
Department.

Agile Reform of the Joint Capability Integration and Development System

    The committee is concerned that the Department of Defense's 
existing processes for generating requirements fail to 
incorporate sufficient user feedback in the early stages of 
development and that these processes lack the speed and 
flexibility to reshape requirements at the pace of 
technological change.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Chairman of the Joint 
Chiefs of Staff (CJCS) to submit a report to the congressional 
defense committees not later than July 1, 2023, on reforming 
the Joint Capability Integration and Develop System (JCIDS) to 
become more agile. The report shall:
    (1) provide recommendations on how the CJCS could modify 
JCIDS to make requirements generation more iterative and 
flexible in response to technological change and user feedback;
    (2) propose changes to the system to reduce the time 
required to create, socialize, clarify, update, and approve 
requirements documents;
    (3) evaluate how to streamline the number of oversight 
boards involved in the JCIDS process;
    (4) determine how JCIDS can increase and facilitate the 
continual interactions of users, members of the Armed Forces, 
requirements developers, and members of the acquisition 
workforce (as defined under section 1721 of title 10, United 
States Code) during requirements development;
    (5) examine how the production of prototypes and 
experimentation with minimally viable products or substitutes 
could improve the generation of requirements;
    (6) outline steps that could reduce the number of material 
requirements authorized without modular, open architectures; 
and
    (7) propose a set of Adaptive Requirements Frameworks that 
align with the Department of Defense's Adaptive Acquisition 
Frameworks (as described in Department of Defense Instruction 
5000.02, ``Operation of the Adaptive Acquisition Framework'').

                  Alternatives for Rare Earth Minerals

    The committee recognizes the importance of rare earth 
minerals not only to our defense interests but to our 
commercial sectors as well. These elements play a critical role 
in many parts of Americans' daily lives and are crucial to the 
national security of the United States. However, the committee 
also realizes that dependence on these elements from foreign 
nations and diffuse supply chains has created unnecessary risk 
which demands attention and solutions.
    The committee encourages the Department to continue 
supporting domestic production of rare earths and other 
critical minerals but also to invest in research into 
substitution of rare earths with minerals available in 
abundance in the United States and allied nations. The 
committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to submit to the House Committee on 
Armed Services, by June 1, 2023, a report summarizing the 
results of a study to identify alternatives and substitutes for 
rare earth elements. In order to facilitate the study, the 
Department of Defense is first directed to identify the 15 
most-utilized rare earth minerals by the Department that are 
currently sourced from other nations. The report shall, to the 
greatest extent possible, seek to identify alternative 
substances to those minerals that exist in abundance in 
American-controlled territory and whose extraction, processing 
and refinement would pose minimal environmental risk or 
disruption. The report shall also include a cost-benefit 
analysis of using identified alternatives, an analysis of how 
quickly identified substitutes could be processed, and 
estimates on how quickly substitutes could reduce or eliminate 
dependence on unreliable foreign supply chains.

                 Army and Navy Contract Writing Systems

    Over the last 12 months, the committee has observed with 
concern the consequences of a series of poor decisions in the 
procurement of modern contract writing systems by the Army in 
its Army Contract Writing System, and the Navy with its 
electronic procurement system. The failure to achieve progress 
in these large-scale procurements has led to major cost 
overruns and significant delays, too commonly treated as 
infrequent missteps. As a result, changes in program direction 
are approached as small corrections in an otherwise typical 
acquisition, without the sense of urgency that should accompany 
the recognition that ongoing failures have resulted in 
contracting professionals left to rely on outdated systems and 
technology.
    A commonality between these programs has been that their 
oversight and management has been run by procurement leadership 
teams, instead of information technology professionals, with 
the results clearly demonstrating the effects. The committee is 
concerned that in reevaluating these programs, program managers 
have not considered technology-forward approaches, industry 
best practices, proven commercial-off-the-shelf solutions in 
use across the Federal Government, or innovative procurement 
processes, such as prize competitions. While the committee is 
encouraged that the services' Chief Information Officers are 
taking a larger role in technology-centric program acquisition, 
the committee believes more needs to be done to reach the 
aspirational end state.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army, 
in coordination with the Secretary of the Navy and without 
delegation below the service Chief Information Officer, to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than December 1, 2022, to detail progress underway to 
elevate the role of the Chief Information Officer in the 
procurement of defense business systems, consider technology-
forward approaches, leverage proven Federal solutions, and 
ensure an agile solution is in place for acquisition 
professionals in fiscal year 2023.

                    Army Autonomous Ground Vehicles

    The committee recognizes the need to increase investments 
in artificial intelligence/machine learning (AI/ML) enabled 
autonomous systems to support strategic competition with near-
peer adversaries. The committee believes that to ensure 
technological and military superiority, the Department of 
Defense must lead in both developing and quickly integrating 
artificial intelligence capabilities into its systems and 
operational concepts, particularly its major defense 
acquisition programs to make them more reliable, networked, and 
effective.
    The committee notes that section 218 of the William M. 
(Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283) directed the Secretary of the 
Navy to designate an existing program executive from within the 
Department of the Navy to serve as the acquisition executive 
agent for autonomy with primary responsibility for the 
acquisition of autonomous technology.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 
2023, on the potential value of designating an existing program 
executive to serve as acquisition executive agent responsible 
for AI/ML capabilities to support the development of autonomous 
vehicle systems and develop and maintain an acquisition 
strategy. The briefing should include coordination with the 
Secretary of the Navy to identify lessons learned from the 
Navy's experience. The briefing should further provide an 
updated strategy on autonomy and machine learning, with 
particular emphasis on:
    (1) the need for continuous updating of the data 
infrastructure, and
    (2) goals, timelines, and metrics to implement the 
strategy.

     Bearing Repair Services for Major Defense Acquisition Programs

    The Department of Defense, in its February 2022 report, 
``State of Competition in the Defense Industrial Base,'' 
concluded that competition within the defense industrial base 
is critical to achieve improved cost, schedule, and performance 
for the products and services needed to support national 
defense. The committee is concerned that the procurement of 
bearing repair services used in Major Defense Acquisition 
Programs have fair, equal, and robust competition between 
Original Equipment Manufacturers and independent maintenance 
service providers, whenever possible.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to review 
and report to the Senate Committee on Armed Services and the 
House Committee on Armed Services, not later than March 15, 
2023, on what actions are being taken by the Department to 
contract with independent maintenance service providers for 
bearing repair services in both fixed wing and rotary wing 
platforms. The report should include how the Department is 
promoting independent U.S. vendor participation whose 
facilities are situated within the United States, and 
increasing the vibrancy and capacity of the domestic industrial 
base.

    Briefing in Response to the Fiscal Year 2022 Assessment of the 
 Department of Defense Mentor-Protege Program by the Defense Business 
                                 Board

    The committee notes that the Defense Business Board has 
issued an evaluation of the effectiveness of the Department of 
Defense Mentor-Protege Program established under section 831 of 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1991 
(Public Law 101-510), pursuant to a requirement in section 872 
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 
(Public Law 116-92). The Board observed that the U.S. defense 
industrial base relies on the participation of diverse, 
dynamic, innovative small businesses to advance future 
warfighting capabilities for the Department. It reported that 
the Department's mentor-protege program is designed to increase 
the capacity of these small businesses to compete for contracts 
they would not otherwise qualify for, by enabling larger, more 
experienced mentor firms to provide assistance to proteges. The 
report concluded that the program has succeeded in its goals of 
increasing the diversity of the defense industrial base and 
delivering agile, innovative technologies to the warfighter; 
however, it made a number of recommendations for ways the 
program could be more impactful in improving the ability of 
proteges to become suppliers to the Department.
    Among its recommendations, the Board noted there is no 
single point of contact for all the Department's small business 
programs, these programs are disparate and spread throughout 
the Department, and the Department should consider designating 
a specific office, with sufficient resourcing and appropriate 
leadership, to oversee all its small business programs. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Acquisition and Sustainment, in coordination with the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering and the 
Director of the Office of Small Business Programs, to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 
2023, on efforts made to address this recommendation.

Briefing on Denials of Contracting Officer Uncertified Cost or Pricing 
                             Data Requests

    According to the 2022 Department of Defense Report on the 
State of Competition within the Defense Industrial Base issued 
by the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
Sustainment, ``[s]ince 2011, commercial items have consistently 
accounted for over 88 percent of new awards (and as high as 98 
percent of new awards) across [the Department of Defense].'' 
The committee observes the vast majority of those are acquired 
on a competitive basis. However, the committee notes that in 
the case of complex defense systems of systems, the Department 
is at risk of becoming vendor-locked for critical sub-elements 
of these complex systems. In these scenarios, Department buyers 
have limited authority to obtain useful data from a sole source 
seller to fill in where price signals are missing to determine 
whether a price is fair and reasonable.
    The committee commends the Department for the two reports 
it has received, produced by the Under Secretary pursuant to 
section 803 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-91) on denials of contractor 
uncertified cost or pricing data requests, and for the newly 
launched webpage hosting extensive training materials for 
commercial item discussions. The committee expects the 
Department to ensure robust reporting procedures on data 
denials are maintained across the services. The committee 
further requests the Department to provide its recommendation 
on whether future reports on data denials should be made 
publicly available.
    The committee directs the Director of Defense Pricing and 
Contracting (DPC) to provide a briefing to the House Committee 
on Armed Services by March 1, 2023, on lessons learned from the 
annual data denials report, as well as efforts by the DPC to 
take advantage of the pilot program authorized by section 890 
of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) and to engage commercial 
producers in an ongoing dialogue. The briefing should also 
include an analysis of joint guidelines and market stimuli that 
a government-industry cooperative forum could collaborate in to 
reduce the number of data denials and achieve the efficiency 
gains commercial item acquisition was intended to achieve.

     Briefing on the Establishment of Domestic Scandium Processing 
                    Facilities in the United States

    The committee believes the United States industrial base 
for the supply and processing of the critical mineral scandium 
has significant vulnerabilities. The committee also believes 
that the United States should seek to eliminate dependence on 
Chinese and Russian sources of scandium, with support from 
allies and partners. Accordingly, public and private sectors 
should cooperate closely to establish scandium processing 
facilities in the United States.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in consultation with the Secretary of Commerce, to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than May 1, 2023, on public and private sector activities, 
working with allied nations, to establish scandium processing 
facilities in the United States, especially facilities based on 
more efficient, cleaner, and less energy-intensive 
technologies. This briefing will also include how these 
processing facilities will help the United States reduce 
dependence on and compete more effectively with China and 
Russia.

 Comptroller General Review of Efforts to Modernize Test and Evaluation

    The committee is aware that the Department of Defense is in 
the process of modernizing how it acquires new technologies and 
weapons while working to improve the speed with which 
operational capabilities are delivered to the warfighter. As 
part of this effort, the Department must modernize and 
recapitalize its test and evaluation capabilities and 
facilities to enable it to more quickly respond to new and 
emerging threats and technology opportunities, including areas 
such as artificial intelligence, autonomous systems, 
cybersecurity, and software development. The committee also 
understands that the Department has raised concerns regarding 
whether existing test and evaluation policies, programs, 
methodologies, instrumentation, and organizations need to be 
reformed or modernized to support efforts to attract non-
traditional commercial technology developers and producers, and 
the use of new authorities for rapid prototyping and fielding 
based upon the adoption of the Adaptive Acquisition Framework. 
Aligning the Department's approach to testing with other 
changes in the acquisition process is likely to be a 
significant undertaking. The committee seeks to understand the 
extent of the changes needed; the timeframes, workforce, and 
financial resources required to modernize; and the progress 
toward modernization in this area to date. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Comptroller General of the United States 
to assess how the Department is modernizing its test and 
evaluation approach to account for the Department's T&E 
adaptation to new methodologies and investment to acquire 
necessary instrumentation, as well as adoption of the Adaptive 
Acquisition Framework and other changes in the acquisition 
environment. The committee further directs the Comptroller 
General to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by June 30, 2023, on the Comptroller General's 
preliminary findings, and to submit a report to the 
congressional defense committees on an agreed-upon date.

 Comptroller General Review of Military Component Acquisition Policies

    The committee appreciates the Department of Defense's 
efforts to improve performance and deliver capabilities faster 
by establishing an Adaptive Acquisition Framework (AAF) 
comprising six acquisition pathways, each tailored for the 
characteristics and risk profile of the capability being 
acquired. However, the committee seeks data showing how the AAF 
is delivering capabilities more rapidly, efficiently, and 
effectively. The AAF alone cannot cure the acquisition 
challenges that the Department faces. Successful implementation 
of the AAF requires the military components to more carefully 
consider both the types of acquisition programs that they 
choose to fund and the approaches they employ to oversee those 
programs. The committee has frequently observed military 
components initiating and sustaining acquisition programs that 
are structured around linear rather than iterative development, 
and that prioritize capability development over speed of 
delivery, creating tension with the objectives of the AAF. Some 
component oversight activities have often appeared ill-suited 
to the stated goals and risk profiles of their acquisition 
programs. The committee maintains that increasing speed of 
acquisition should not be incompatible with timely oversight. 
In March 2022, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) found 
that several acquisition pathways do not fully implement key 
principles that leading companies rely on for successful 
product development. GAO recommended that the Department update 
its acquisition policies to reflect these principles, and the 
Department agreed. Component acquisition policies now warrant 
and would benefit from a similar review. The committee 
therefore directs the Comptroller General of the United States 
to assess the primary acquisition policies of the Departments 
of the Army, Navy, and Air Force and report on the extent to 
which they:
    (1) are suited to the stated goals and risk profiles of 
components' acquisition programs,
    (2) are consistent with the primary goals and tenets of the 
AAF, and
    (3) implement key principles for product development.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 31, 2023, on the Comptroller General's preliminary 
findings and present final results in a format and timeframe 
agreed to at the time of the briefing.

   Comptroller General Review of Modular Open Systems Approaches for 
                             Weapon Systems

    The committee notes that designing weapons using modular 
open systems approaches (MOSA), which includes a modular design 
and standard interfaces, can offer a number of benefits. These 
benefits include significant cost savings or avoidance, 
schedule reductions and more rapid deployment of new 
technologies, opportunities for technology upgrades and 
refreshes, improved interoperability, and increased 
competition. While the Department of Defense has implemented 
MOSA on some systems over the last two decades, the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328) required the use of MOSA to the maximum extent practicable 
for major defense acquisition programs starting after January 
1, 2019. The Department has taken steps since that time to 
update policies and guidance, but the Government Accountability 
Office recently reported that challenges remain that can affect 
decisions to use MOSA when developing systems, such as 
acceptance by the relevant communities, effects on system 
performance, and intellectual property and cybersecurity 
considerations.
    The committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by October 1, 2023, and submit a follow-on report by 
December 31, 2024, on the Department's use of MOSA when 
developing weapon systems. Specifically, the Comptroller 
General shall examine:
    (1) the extent to which the military services are using 
MOSA in the development of weapon systems across Adaptive 
Acquisition Framework pathways;
    (2) efforts by the Office of the Secretary of Defense and 
the military departments to support the implementation of MOSA; 
and
    (3) any challenges the Department faces related to 
implementing MOSA.

   Contractors Wholly Owned through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan

    The committee recognizes the innovative potential created 
by incentivizing businesses organized as private subchapter S 
corporations wholly owned through an employee stock ownership 
plan (ESOP) to provide products and services for the Department 
of Defense. Economic reporting data shows wholly owned ESOP 
companies create significant value in the economy, and that 
this value extends to all workers, particularly those who 
represent disadvantaged communities or who are the intended 
beneficiaries of Federal preference programs.
    The committee therefore encourages the Department to make 
full use of the pilot program established by section 874 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public 
Law 117-81). To ensure timely implementation of the pilot and 
gathering of important lessons learned, the committee urges the 
Department to establish procedures and mechanisms to:
    (1) record details on the size status and performance of 
the contractor performing the one-time, sole source follow-on 
contract; and
    (2) collect and analyze relevant data, to include sharing 
best practices.
    The committee further urges the Department to capture the 
data in a one-page form that includes elements such as employee 
retention rate, total retirement plan value, and average per 
employee retirement savings. This form, which should be 
submitted by the ESOP with their offer and again at contract 
completion, should be evaluated for factors that make the 
company particularly resilient and agile.
    The committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by February 1, 2023, on progress 
made to:
    (1) implement policies and procedures to implement the 
pilot;
    (2) gather lessons learned from it; and
    (3) consider whether other legislative changes, such as 
expanding the definition of non-traditional defense contractor 
at section 3014 of title 10, United States Code, would better 
incentivize wholly owned ESOPs to participate in the defense 
industrial base.

           Control of Niobium by the Chinese Communist Party

    The committee is concerned by recent investments in global 
niobium production made by firms under the ownership, control, 
or influence of the Chinese Communist Party (``CCP''). Niobium 
is a critical mineral needed for the production of superalloys 
in jet and rocket engines, critical components in defense 
systems and hypersonic vehicles, and other emerging 
technologies. CCP control of niobium and a lack of a domestic 
capability within the United States present a national security 
risk similar to risks in the rare earth mineral markets.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing 
to the House Committee on Armed Services by December 31, 2022, 
on current global sources of supply of niobium along with a 
cost-benefit analysis of establishing a domestic supply of 
high-purity niobium oxides. The briefing shall:
    (1) differentiate between ferroniobium and high-purity 
niobium (the critical niobium oxide precursor);
    (2) address the possibility of using underutilized 
byproduct niobium feedstocks from coproduced materials in the 
United States to strengthen the domestic industrial base for 
other key refractory materials such as tantalum; and
    (3) include a list of defense programs that are significant 
users of niobium or where niobium is a critical component.

                  Critical Mineral Sharing with Allies

    The committee recognizes the findings of the bipartisan 
Defense Critical Supply Chain Task Force, which in its final 
report recommended that the Department of Defense: reduce 
reliance on adversaries for resources and manufacturing; 
strengthen the ability to leverage close ally and partner 
capabilities; and deploy the full range of American innovation 
to secure supply chains involving rare earth elements and 
critical minerals. The committee also recognizes Executive 
Order 14017, which directs, among other actions, the Department 
of Defense and related agencies to identify opportunities to 
cooperate with allies and partners to identify alternative 
supply chains. Furthermore, the committee recognizes the 
announcement by the Department of State of the Minerals 
Security Partnership, which will bolster critical mineral 
sharing with key partner countries.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition & Sustainment to provide a briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services by February 1, 2023, on 
how the Department is expanding cooperation with allies and 
partners on critical minerals, including shared access to 
mining, processing, refining, and stock piling.
    The briefing shall:
    (1) identify key allies and partners with which the 
Department may seek to enter into bilateral or multilateral 
agreements on access to critical minerals for defense 
industrial supply chains, including prioritizing mining, 
processing, and refining critical minerals for defense 
purposes;
    (2) identify those priority critical minerals that are 
essential for national defense during a crisis or conflict, and 
which key allies and partners maintain large stocks; and
    (3) review available authorities for the Department to 
implement critical mineral sharing agreements, including 
through the Minerals Security Partnership, and provide 
recommendations for adjustments to existing authorities.

                Department of Defense Access to Titanium

    The committee recognizes recent geopolitical events have 
added significant risk to the global titanium supply chain, 
specifically access to large, long lead titanium forgings. The 
committee further recognizes that Department of Defense prime 
contractors' inability to procure titanium forgings may put the 
country's national security at risk. Therefore, the committee 
encourages the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
Sustainment to explore using high deposition rate additive 
manufacturing as a risk reduction element for high value, long 
lead, titanium forgings.

 Department of Defense Implementation of Contract Vehicle Modifications

    The committee observes that the President of the United 
States routinely issues Executive Orders, and at times the 
implementation of an Executive Order may levy new requirements 
on existing government procurement contracts, task or delivery 
orders, and/or other transactions (``contract vehicles''). The 
committee has heard concerns that in some cases Department of 
Defense contracting officers have issued bilateral 
modifications, implementing the requirements of recent 
Executive Orders, on existing contract vehicles without 
acknowledging to the affected contractors that these 
modifications constitute government-directed changes under the 
changes clause or equivalent language. In response, some 
contractors have refused to accept the modifications or 
accepted them with an extensive reservation of rights. By 
definition, bilateral contract modifications are agreed to by 
both parties to the contract. If the contractor believes that 
its performance under the contract will be adversely affected, 
it may decline to agree to the modification unless it includes 
the right to request an equitable adjustment. This lack of 
uniform results may lead to a patchwork implementation of 
Executive Orders that could raise compliance costs for the 
government and the contractor, while also increasing the 
potential for litigation.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Principal Director of 
Defense Pricing and Contracting to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services no later than June 1, 2023, 
on the process used by the Department to modify existing 
contract vehicles when necessitated to implement an Executive 
Order. The briefing shall examine how the Department notifies 
and trains contracting officers to modify existing contract 
vehicles pursuant to an Executive Order, as well as examine how 
the Department determines whether a contract vehicle 
modification should be undertaken as a bilateral modification 
or unilateral modification that may result in a change order. 
The briefing shall recognize any program disruptions caused by 
the current process, identify the number of instances where a 
bilateral modification was rejected, and provide 
recommendations on how to streamline procedures going forward.

     Department of Defense Legacy Semiconductor Supply Chain Study

    The committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment, in consultation with the Secretary 
of Commerce, to submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees by December 31, 2022, that expands upon the 
Department of Defense's response to Executive Order 14017 and 
includes an analysis of:
    (1) the current demand for semiconductors at mature 
technology nodes in the Department of Defense operations,
    (2) uses of the Defense Production Act for securing legacy 
semiconductors over the last 5 years, and
    (3) recommendations for how the Department of Defense and 
Department of Commerce can collaborate to ensure that 
semiconductors at mature technology nodes are properly 
prioritized to medical device manufacturers, especially devices 
used for emergency and preventative care.

     Department of Defense Review of Olives as Nonavailable Article

    The committee has heard concerns about the ability of 
domestic olive producers to compete against foreign-based 
competitors due to their classification as an ``unavailable 
article.'' The committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Acquisition and Sustainment to conduct a review of the 
inclusion of green olives and related olive-based products on 
lists of ``nonavailable articles'' under parts of the Federal 
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the Defense FAR Supplement.
    After completing the review, the committee directs the 
Under Secretary to provide a briefing to the House Armed 
Services Committee by February 1, 2023, on the results of the 
review. The briefing shall include the results of the review, 
the process by which nonavailability determinations were made, 
sources used to conduct market research, the identification of 
total U.S. Government and nongovernmental demand, and any 
public comments received in connection with the most recent 
determinations related to olive products.

Establishment of Efficient Titanium Processing Facilities in the United 
                                 States

    The committee is concerned that the United States 
industrial base for the supply and processing of the critical 
mineral titanium has significant vulnerabilities, including 
dependence on strategic competitors for the supply and 
processing of titanium. The committee believes that the United 
States should seek to eliminate dependence when it comes to the 
supply and processing of titanium, with support from allies and 
partners. Furthermore, the committee believes the public and 
private sectors should cooperate closely to establish titanium 
processing facilities in the United States or in other trusted 
partner countries.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in consultation with the heads of other appropriate Federal 
departments, to submit to the House Committee on Armed Services 
an unclassified briefing not later than December 31, 2022, that 
includes:
    (1) a description of the public and private sector 
activities to cooperate and establish efficient titanium 
processing facilities in the United States or in trusted 
partner countries; and
    (2) an analysis of how such facilities will help the United 
States reduce dependence on strategic competitors.

                       Federal Prison Industries

    The committee notes that section 827 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-
181) established a 5 percent threshold under which the 
Department of Defense was to acquire products produced by 
Federal Prison Industries (FPI), as long as the products met 
the needs of the Department in terms of quality, performance, 
and price. Since then, concerns have been raised about the 
decline in contracts awarded by the Department to FPI, which 
may put at risk the program established to help manage, train, 
and rehabilitate inmates through employment. The committee 
expects the Department to mine acquisition data, take advantage 
of e-commerce portals to assess its use of FPI, and identify 
new opportunities to acquire products from FPI. The committee 
looks forward to the Comptroller General of the United States 
report directed in the committee report accompanying the 
William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2021 (H. Rept. 116-442) to assist in its 
oversight of the Department's use of FPI.

     Foreign Investment Review Collaboration with Bankruptcy Courts

    The committee appreciates the Department of Defense's 
ongoing work to protect the defense industrial base from 
adversarial foreign investment risks. One such risk is the 
potential for malign actors to acquire interests in 
economically distressed companies providing goods and services 
to the Department. The committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing 
to the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2023, on 
the Department's efforts to mitigate this risk. The briefing 
shall identify the extent to which foreign investors are 
monitoring U.S. Bankruptcy Court proceedings to target 
distressed companies, including those in U.S. businesses 
related to critical technologies, critical infrastructure, or 
sensitive personal data; assess the fidelity of the 
Department's visibility on bankruptcy data; describe policy 
options to expand opportunities and incentives for investment 
from United States and allied investors in the U.S. defense 
industrial base; and address any other related matters the 
Under Secretary deems appropriate. The briefing may include 
both classified and unclassified components.

            Foreign Investment Review Implementation Update

    The committee continues to recognize the benefits of 
foreign investment to the U.S. economy and the need to mitigate 
the associated risks to U.S. national security and the defense 
industrial base. The committee appreciates the Department of 
Defense's important role as a voting member of the Committee on 
Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS). In prior 
legislation, the committee required the Department to report on 
actions taken to implement the Foreign Investment Risk Review 
Modernization Act of 2018 (FIRRMA). The Department and other 
CFIUS member agencies have now completed multiple years of 
activity under the expanded authorities of FIRRMA, and the 
committee requires updated analysis.
    To enhance the committee's oversight of the Department's 
role in CFIUS, 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, 2023, detailing the Department's role in, and observations 
of, the United States foreign investment screening processes. 
The briefing shall address the following:
    (1) lessons learned from the implementation of FIRRMA to 
date;
    (2) data regarding the transactions for which the 
Department is a co-lead agency, and detailed analysis of trends 
and patterns in such cases (for instance, trends in ultimate 
beneficial ownership or closing dates of covered transactions);
    (3) the Department's role in CFIUS as it relates to broader 
supply chain security initiatives, including those required by 
Executive Order 14017;
    (4) recommendations to leverage the statutory elevation of 
the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Industrial Base Policy 
to better inform intra-Department and interagency analysis of 
risks facing the defense industrial base; and
    (5) any other relevant impacts to the Department that the 
Under Secretary deems appropriate.

     Identifying Impediments to Insourcing Inappropriate Contracts

    The committee is concerned with the overhead cost and 
redundancy created by the Department of Defense's extended and 
excessive use of Advisory & Assistance and Staff Augmentation 
(or Personal Services) contracts to fulfill continuous, day-to-
day, full-time, civilian personnel requirements.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by March 1, 2023. The briefing shall include, at a minimum, the 
following:
    (1) a review of the Department of Defense's inventory of 
long-term or repeated use of staff augmentation contracts, and 
in the case of headquarters activities, compared to the PB-22 
Report for headquarters functions, an assessment of whether the 
funding for the contracts has been excluded from headquarters 
accounts;
    (2) a summary of the Department of Defense's efforts to 
verify and validate the requirements for long term or repeated 
use of staff augmentation contracts, in light of the 
Comptroller General finding that the prior Enterprise 
Contractor Manpower Reporting Application (ECMRA) more 
accurately reported the number of staff augmentation contracts 
than the Federal Procurement Data System-Next Generation, to 
which the Department has transitioned for reporting;
    (3) an explanation of how the statutory limitations in 
title 10, United States Code, on military or civilian personnel 
assigned to the Office of the Secretary of Defense and Defense 
Agencies, the Joint Staff, and the Military Department 
headquarters induce long-term or repeated use of staff 
augmentation contracts; and
    (4) in light of a recent Comptroller General report that 
shows the divestiture of the ECMRA capability has left a gap in 
the Department's ability to do cost comparisons of contractors 
consistent with the requirements of Department of Defense 
Instruction 7041.04, an explanation of the extent to which the 
Director, Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation was 
coordinated with when the decision was made to divest, and the 
efforts made to address the absence of fully burdened cost data 
elements formerly captured by ECMRA.

       Impact of Mergers on the Resiliency of the Industrial Base

    The committee strongly believes in preserving competition 
in the industrial base to allow for diversity of sourcing as 
needed. The committee notes that in February 2022, the 
Department of Defense issued a report on the state of 
competition within the defense industrial base and found that 
this consolidation ``pose[s] significant national security 
risks.'' The accompanying White House report also noted that 
``extreme consolidation in the defense sector has reduced 
competition and heightened national security risk.''
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
no later than March 31, 2023, on the steps the Department takes 
in considering the harm to the public interest when evaluating 
a proposed merger, acquisition, joint venture, strategic 
alliance, or any other type of investment for which 
notification to Congress is required under the Clayton Act. The 
briefing should also explain how the Department engages in 
consultation with the Federal Trade Commission and the 
Department of Justice in antitrust investigations and 
enforcement of those transactions, and how it relies on the 
analysis of other agencies, including the Federal 
Communications Commission, the Federal Energy Regulatory 
Commission, and the Department of Transportation.

  Implementation of Recommendations from Worker Organizing Task Force

    The committee observes that the National Labor Relations 
Act of 1935 (Public Law 74-198) states that it is ``the policy 
of the United States [to] encourag[e] the practice and 
procedure of collective bargaining and [to] protect the 
exercise by workers of full freedom of association,'' (29 
U.S.C. 151). The Department of Defense has a vital interest in 
ensuring workers' rights and safety. Pursuant to Executive 
Order 14025, the Secretary of Defense served on the White House 
Task Force on Worker Organizing and Empowerment, which issued 
recommendations to the Department and other Federal agencies on 
ensuring that Federal funds are spent consistent with Federal 
policy.
    The committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2023, on progress made 
on the implementation of all task force recommendations that 
relate to the Department of Defense.

    Implementing 2030 Next Generation Defense Acquisition Workforce 
                          Strategic Readiness

    The committee supports and urges follow-through on the 
Department of Defense's initiative to modernize its 
implementation of the Defense Acquisition Workforce Improvement 
Act (DAWIA), talent development, and talent management to 
better equip and empower the defense acquisition workforce.
    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, 2023, on 
the following:
    (1) how chapter 87 of title 10, United States Code, could 
be modernized to streamline and provide the statutory framework 
and flexibilities needed to create and sustain a highly 
qualified defense acquisition workforce through 2040;
    (2) a description of the envisioned 2030 workforce in the 
context of the 2022 National Defense Strategy and in terms of 
workforce enduring core capability required to execute the 
enduring acquisition mission with the agility to innovate and 
respond to equip the military in a dynamic threat, climate 
challenges, and emerging critical technologies environment;
    (3) leveraging modern learning technologies and applying 
artificial intelligence to improve acquisition work and 
workforce capability;
    (4) how private sector best talent management practices are 
used or planned for use across the talent management spectrum 
(to include use of modern talent management systems);
    (5) progress in implementing changes recommended by the 
Section 809 Panel and directed in the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92);
    (6) key enabling tools needed to implement strategic 
readiness, whether existing (e.g., Acquisition Demonstration 
Project and Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Account) 
or new; and
    (7) statutory changes needed and resources necessary to 
implement modern talent management for the defense acquisition 
workforce.
    The committee further directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, in coordination with 
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, 2023, on plans to implement a private 
sector-proven modern talent management functionality and system 
for Department of Defense civilians. The system would provide 
capabilities, in addition to human resources professionals for 
core human resources functions, to Department of Defense 
leaders, managers, and employees to support their talent 
management responsibilities. The system would provide employees 
the ability to identify interests and volunteer status for 
rotation/experience assignments. In addition, employees would 
be able to self-report accomplishments and credentials. The 
system would provide leaders and managers the ability to 
identify rotational experience opportunities and would promote 
modern talent management through understanding available talent 
across the Department and organizations.
    The committee commends the Department's ongoing efforts to 
transform the acquisition workforce through its Back to Basics 
initiative to provide the skills and on-the-job resources 
needed by acquisition professionals to support a more agile 
acquisition system. Congressionally authorized flexible 
acquisition pathways are intended to empower program managers 
and acquisition professionals to tailor strategies and 
accelerate acquisition to meet warfighter needs in a changing 
threat environment, and the acquisition workforce needs a more 
flexible, modern training curriculum to match. However, in 
reducing training and shifting to job-relevant credentials, the 
Department must not lose sight of the importance of ensuring 
the acquisition workforce maintains its core competencies.
    Therefore the committee directs the Under Secretary to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 1, 2023, on the following:
    (1) identify the critical core competencies of the 
acquisition workforce;
    (2) consider whether those competencies should include 
digital literacy and an understanding of commercial business 
models (as required by section 803 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328)) to 
include motivations and business practices of the commercial 
sector; and
    (3) explain how those competencies are being achieved by 
the Back to Basics curriculum.
    Finally, the committee is encouraged that the Department 
has established a Defense Civilian Training Corps (DCTC) 
program, authorized by section 860 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) and 
codified at sections 2200g-2200j of title 10, United States 
Code. The Department needs a systemic approach such as DCTC to 
increase the digital literacy of its workforce with degrees in 
emerging technology and a curriculum based on understanding and 
applying these technologies. However, the program is still 
operating under an initial plan and has not achieved the 
expansion required by the authorizing legislation.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, without 
delegation, to submit the overdue full implementation plan, 
expansion plan, and schedule to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than March 1, 2023. The committee further 
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2023, 
on efforts and progress made on the following:
    (1) meeting the statutory requirement to expand the DCTC 
program to at least 20 accredited civilian educational 
institutions with no fewer than 400 members enrolled in the 
program by August 1, 2023;
    (2) conducting outreach to Historically Black Colleges and 
Universities to stand up DCTC programs; and
    (3) collaborating with the National Security Innovation 
Network to build hands-on innovation projects into the DCTC 
curriculum.

Improving Source Approval Request and Sustainment Parts for Increasing 
                 Market Competition and Asset Readiness

    The committee recognizes that reverse engineering is an 
important component to sustainment. When no market competition 
exists, the costs for parts rise significantly, and readiness 
gaps exist when the original manufacturer is no longer willing 
or able to supply the part. The committee notes that to address 
gaps where there is no market competition or a supplier can no 
longer provide necessary parts, there is a need to adopt 
additional reverse engineering capabilities to reduce 
sustainment costs and improve readiness.
    As such, the committee directs the Director of the Defense 
Logistics Agency to develop requirements to increase market 
competition and further encourage reverse engineering 
capabilities. These requirements and solutions should 
incorporate the following:
    (1) identify candidate items for cost reduction or mission 
readiness improvement,
    (2) reverse engineer and provide technical data packages 
for parts that are obsolete and/or fall under Diminishing 
Manufacturing Sources and Material Shortage categories,
    (3) supplement incomplete technical data packages for 
manufacturability, and
    (4) while special consideration goes to federal government 
organic industrial base capabilities to reverse engineer in 
accordance with the core logistics requirements of sections 
2463, 2464, and 2466 of title 10, United States Code, as well 
as the total force management requirements of section 129a of 
title 10, United States Code, consider leveraging existing 
private sector capabilities to create an alternate source of 
supply when these requirements cannot be met.
    The committee further directs the Director of the Defense 
Logistics Agency to provide a briefing to the House Committee 
on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2023, on how the 
government, to include private sector partnerships, 
incentivizes reducing sustainment costs and improving readiness 
through increasing market competition in reverse engineering 
technologies and capabilities.

   Inflation Impacts on the Delivery of Contractor Provided Services

    The committee is concerned about the current inflationary 
climate and the impact it may have on the delivery of critical, 
contractor-provided services, especially those that are 
delivered under firm-fixed-price (FFP) contracts. FFP contracts 
typically exclude the ability of contractors to submit a 
request for equitable adjustment. Contract execution in fiscal 
year 2023 may be negatively impacted by flawed assumptions on 
inflation made when the budget was set.
    Therefore, the committee believes the Department should 
consider utilizing requests for equitable adjustment under FFP 
contracts in cases where the Office of Management and Budget's 
estimates for the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) chain-type price 
index are separated from real change measured by the GDP Price 
Index during the year of budget execution by more than 6 
percentage points, particularly for those contracts where the 
Department believes contract execution will suffer without 
appropriate relief.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than December 31, 2022, on the following:
    (1) efforts from June 1, 2021, to the time of the required 
briefing to provide equitable relief under existing regulatory 
and legal authorities for FFP contracts;
    (2) efforts from June 1, 2021, to the time of the required 
briefing to utilize Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 
16.203-3 and insert the clause at FAR 52.216-4 to allow for the 
negotiation of FFP contracts;
    (3) estimates of the total additional costs carried by 
contractors delivering services under FFP contracts in fiscal 
years 2022-23 if inflation rates stay more than 5 percentage 
points above the GDP Price Index estimates provided by the 
Office of Management and Budget to inform the Department's 
budget request; and
    (4) make recommendations about additional authorities 
needed to address inflationary pressures that are reasonably 
expected to impact contract execution, put at risk due to high 
inflation.

                Microelectronics Infrastructure Support

    The committee encourages the Department of Defense to 
continue building up the industrial base for microelectronics. 
The committee believes that the security of the complete supply 
chain should be addressed as the government provides incentives 
for advanced semiconductor manufacturing. The committee is 
aware that there are currently multiple initiatives underway to 
revitalize U.S. electronics manufacturing. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than March 1, 2023, on Department of Defense efforts to 
coordinate with other microelectronics manufacturing 
initiatives. This briefing should provide an analysis on the 
security of the defense microelectronics supply chain, 
including semiconducting metals and alloys, as well as metallic 
precursors such as oxides, integrated circuits and chips, 
printed circuit boards, packaging, and other critical 
microelectronic components.

                   Nontraditional Defense Contractors

    The committee notes that in section 857 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-
92), Congress granted contracting professionals permissive 
authority to contract with nontraditional defense contractors 
via commercial terms and conditions, foregoing the often 
burdensome and subjective commercial item determination 
process. Congress did so in recognition that commercial firms 
often find the size of the defense marketplace too small to 
justify the trouble and expense of changing their business 
processes to comply with a Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 
Part 15 type contract traditionally used for most defense 
purchases.
    When used effectively and efficiently, this authority 
allows the Department of Defense to access a greater share of 
the innovative potential of these commercial, nontraditional 
firms under FAR Part 12 terms and conditions by treating the 
entire business unit, including what is produced and provided 
by these units, as commercial. The committee commends the 
extensive training and guidance materials recently posted to 
the Office of Defense Pricing and Contracting (DPC) website to 
empower contracting professionals to use this authority 
effectively, conduct the market research needed to understand 
the Department's standing in the relevant commercial market, 
and access nontraditional commercial entities. The committee 
notes the guidance materials educate buyers about how to use 
price and value-based techniques over the course of the 
relationship with contractors to ensure price reasonableness on 
a contract-by-contract basis.
    The committee is encouraged by efforts made by the DPC and 
directs the Director of the DPC to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by October 1, 2022, to give 
an update on:
    (1) the policy and educational tools available to 
contracting professionals,
    (2) efforts by the Pricing Cadre of Experts and Defense 
Contract Management Agency's Commercial Item Group to ensure 
enterprise-wide implementation of that guidance,
    (3) concerns related to challenges contracting 
professionals face in obtaining data sufficient to determine 
price reasonableness, and
    (4) direct evidence to show the guidance has led to 
increased use of commercial procedures and an expansion of the 
defense industrial base.

                Procurement Technical Assistance Program

    The committee is aware of and supports plans by the Office 
of Small Business Programs (OSBP) to utilize the Procurement 
Technical Assistance Program (PTAP) and its Procurement 
Technical Assistance Centers (PTACs) in new and innovative ways 
following the PTAP move from the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) 
to the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition 
and Sustainment, pursuant to section 852 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-
92).
    The committee supports PTACs and the critical assistance 
they provide to businesses interested in government contracting 
to enhance the defense industrial base. The committee further 
supports enabling the Department of Defense's small business 
professionals to leverage PTACs to conduct targeted market 
research and assistance efforts to support specific 
acquisitions pursuant to the action plan developed in response 
to Executive Order 14017, America's Supply Chains.
    The committee is encouraged that the voluntary association 
of PTACs has played a critical role and should be used as a 
primary source of training for the PTACs. Therefore, the 
committee directs the OSBP to consider awarding contracts on a 
multiyear basis rather than an annual negotiated basis to allow 
more time for PTACs to train and serve their clients. The 
committee further supports the creation of PTAP level goals and 
encourages use of performance-based metrics rather than the 
current task-based metrics, such as counseling hours. 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 February 1, 2023, on 
implementation of the transition from DLA and ways that OSBP is 
using the PTAP in new and innovative ways.

   Software-First Approach to Counter Rapidly Evolving Technological 
                                Threats

    The committee recognizes that software-defined advanced 
technologies, such as autonomy, artificial intelligence (AI), 
and machine learning, are increasingly essential to the way the 
United States and our adversaries are delivering and employing 
effects on the battlefield. Software-defined technologies 
enable the rapid integration of new components, sensors, and 
effectors into a family of systems that are necessary to keep 
pace with rapidly evolving technologies and threats confronting 
U.S. and allied forces. To take full advantage of advanced 
technologies and accelerate the continuous delivery of modern 
defense capabilities, the committee believes the Department of 
Defense should utilize software-first acquisition strategies 
that prioritize using industry partners with leading software 
expertise to serve as a mission integration partner, 
particularly for capabilities that require the integration of 
third-party sensors and effectors deployed across domains.
    The committee is encouraged by U.S. Special Operations 
Command's recent utilization of this approach for its Counter 
Unmanned Systems Integration Partner (SIP) program. The 
program's software-first acquisition model requires the SIP to 
continuously adapt and integrate best-in-class sensors and 
effectors produced by many vendors to defeat evolving unmanned 
threats. Such an approach not only avoids technological 
obsolescence, but also vendor lock. The committee is also aware 
that the Joint Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Office 
(JCO) is reviewing the SIP approach.
    The committee encourages the JCO and military services' 
acquisition executives to utilize existing authorities to apply 
the software-first approach as appropriate and directs the 
Director of the JCO to submit a report to the House Committee 
on Armed Services by February 15, 2023, to provide the JCO's 
evaluation of the integration partner Counter UAS as a service 
approach in its evaluation of systems for procurement by the 
military services. The report should include how the JCO 
utilizes its testing, evaluation, assessments, and related 
events to update the interim list of approved systems, how the 
JCO is incorporating the outcomes of these events into the 
guidance that it issues, and how the military services are 
incorporating the guidance into the development of requirements 
and procurement of capabilities against that list.

                  Technology Ties and Competitiveness

    The committee is aware of concerns that the Chinese 
Communist Party may be using trade measures to gain access to, 
and potentially control over, technology and capabilities that 
play important roles in United States national defense. Recent 
legislation has underscored the need to promote robust 
investment in the United States, but to balance that industrial 
base policy with national security imperatives. The committee 
directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
Sustainment to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services by April 1, 2023, reflecting an assessment of 
dual-use technology ties between the United States and China. 
The briefing shall identify any actors, ties, and trends of 
particular concern and assess whether, and if so, in what ways, 
technology trade and two-way investment are strengthening 
Chinese capabilities in areas that may undermine the 
competitiveness of the United States and allied defense 
industrial base. The briefing shall also address the Department 
of Defense's equities in the United States' export controls 
regime, and how the Department's approach to these issues 
aligns with the objectives of the National Defense Strategy.

            Threat-Based Requirement in Acquisition Process

    The committee recognizes that industry participation in the 
requirements development process is critical to ensuring the 
best capabilities are leveraged to address a military need. 
Unfortunately, market research conducted by the Department of 
Defense often occurs after preliminary requirements for 
addressing a threat or mission have been created. This process 
often prevents industry from proposing innovative solutions 
and, thus, artificially limits the solutions needed to develop 
and address the threats or missions which led to the 
preliminary requirements.
    Therefore, the committee encourages the Department to 
explore the adoption of a threat-based requirement in the 
acquisition process and directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 31, 2023, on the ability to establish a Problem 
Identification Phase that would apply to all new start 
acquisition programs to support the dissemination of threat-
based problem statements to industry as a precursor to 
generating preliminary requirements.

                         Total Force Management

    The committee observes with concern that the Department has 
not submitted the plan, including in particular any changes to 
programming guidance, and the roles and responsibilities of the 
Under Secretary of Defense Comptroller, Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, Under Secretary of 
Defense for Personnel and Readiness, and Office of Cost 
Assessment and Program Evaluation, due June 1, 2022, for 
improving visibility on future services requirements in the 
future years defense program, as required by section 815 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public 
Law 117-81). The committee further observes that Department of 
Defense Instruction (DODI) 1100.22, the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Personnel and Readiness policy for total force 
management, has not been updated since December 1, 2017. Over 
one quarter of the Department's topline and the largest share 
of total force spending among military, civilian workforce, and 
contractors goes to service contracts, and yet their 
requirements still are not fully transparent or validated in 
the Department's planning, programming, budgeting, and 
execution system process.
    Therefore the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
brief the House Committee on Armed Services no later than March 
1, 2023, on progress made to:
    (1) develop data analytics to specifically identify the 
quantitative and qualitative relationships of the sizing and 
composition of the Department of Defense civilian workforce to 
readiness, lethality, and stress on the force metrics,
    (2) to ensure that planning, programming, and budgeting 
reviews consider all components of the total force (active and 
reserve military, civilian workforce and contract support) in a 
holistic manner to avoid duplication and waste and ensure that 
risk, cost and mission validation and prioritization 
considerations consistent with this section and the National 
Defense Strategy inform the sourcing and prioritization of 
requirements, and
    (3) update DODI 1100.22 to reflect changes to section 129a 
and changes referencing total force management in other 
statutes, including sections 129 and 4506 of title 10, United 
States Code, to include the standard guidelines for the 
evaluation of service contract requirements.
    The committee further notes that Government Accountability 
Office is planning to review the relationship between 
Department of Defense's management of its acquisition of 
services and the planning, programming, budgeting, and 
execution process. The committee directs the Comptroller 
General to provide, no later than March 1, 2023, a briefing on 
interim observations on the department's use of Services 
Requirement Review Boards to review, validate, prioritize, and 
approve services requirements to inform the budget and 
acquisition process; and the Department's plans and progress 
towards ensuring that projected spending on service contracts 
is clearly identified in the Department's future years defense 
program. The Comptroller General will assess whether the 
Service Requirement Review Board's primary orientation on 
acquisition planning at a transactional level is impeding a 
more strategic, programmatic challenging of requirements and 
the inclusion of program data for services contracts in the 
program and budget data systems maintained by the Office of 
Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation and the Under Secretary 
of Defense Comptroller. The Comptroller General will also 
assess the impact the divestiture of the Enterprise Contractor 
Manpower Reporting Application on the Office of Cost Assessment 
and Program Evaluation's data analytics tools for comparing the 
fully burdened costs of service contracts by function and 
program to military and civilian workforces as required by DODI 
7041.04.

 Training for Personnel for Commercial Product and Commercial Service 
                             Determinations

    The committee observes that the relationship between the 
Department of Defense acquisition workforce and private-sector 
acquisition professionals is a critical element of the defense 
acquisition system. Because the private sector plays a 
prominent role in helping shape defense acquisition outcomes, 
it is important that the Department and private sector 
acquisition professionals understand each other's processes, 
motivations, and objectives. Although the committee awaits a 
forthcoming report by the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment on the training currently available 
to the acquisition workforce related to commercial item 
determinations and price reasonableness determinations, it 
observes there is no existing Department reporting on the value 
of public-private talent exchange programs, such as the one 
established at section 1599g of title 10, United States Code, 
to lower barriers and reinforce collaboration to develop 
innovative solutions to mission-critical challenges.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to include in the 
report on commercial item determinations directed by the joint 
explanatory statement accompanying the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81), 
which is due not later than January 1, 2023, an assessment of 
the professional development benefits, operational benefits, 
human and financial resource challenges, and ethics guardrails 
associated with successful public-private talent exchange 
programs.

      TITLE IX--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


 Briefing on the Establishment of a Center for Excellence in Civilian 
                                  Harm

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by December 
30, 2022, and an interim briefing by August 1, 2022, on efforts 
to establish the Center for Excellence in Civilian Harm.

              Comptroller General Report on Civilian Harm

    The committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to conduct a review of the Department of Defense 
processes for identifying and implementing recommendations 
relating to the protection of civilians and efforts to prevent, 
mitigate, investigate, and respond to civilian harm in military 
operations. The review shall evaluate to what extent has the 
Department established processes to identify and evaluate 
studies on the protection of civilians and efforts to prevent, 
mitigate, investigate, and respond to civilian harm in United 
States military operations, including:
    (1) internally directed Department of Defense studies;
    (2) studies sponsored or commissioned by the Government of 
the United States; lessons learned and after-action reports 
from the geographic combatant commands; and
    (3) studies by non-governmental organizations.
    The review shall also evaluate to what extent has the 
Department established plans and processes to assess and, where 
appropriate, implement and standardize relevant recommendations 
from internal and external studies on the protection of 
civilians, including:
    (1) the 2013 Joint and Coalition Operational Analysis on 
``Reducing and Mitigating Civilian Casualties'';
    (2) the 2018 Civilian Casualty Review directed by the 
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff; the 2022 RAND assessment 
of ``U.S. Department of Defense Civilian Casualty Policies and 
Procedures''; and
    (3) other studies and recommendations as the Comptroller 
General determines appropriate.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
submit a report to the congressional defense committees by 
September 30, 2023, on the findings of the Comptroller 
General's review.

 Deconflicting the Space-Related Missions and Responsibilities of the 
       Combatant Commands, Armed Forces, and Military Departments

    The committee is encouraged by the progress made by the 
Department of Defense to organize space forces of the United 
States in response to the threats posed to national security 
space. The standup of the United States Space Force and United 
States Space Command have had a notable impact in warning, 
tracking, and assessment of space- and terrestrial-based 
threats. The committee understands that the concurrent 
establishment of the United States Space Force and United 
States Space Command created potential for duplicative, 
redundant, and overlapping responsibilities, resulting in 
unforeseen complications to the processes and operations of 
both organizations. Given the progress of the organizations, 
the Department has had opportunity to refine and mature the 
understanding of unique organizational roles and 
responsibilities for space operations of all services and 
combatant commands. However, the committee is concerned that 
initial assignment of responsibilities during initial standup 
of United States Space Command my interfere with, assume, or 
overlap the missions, responsibilities, or authorities intended 
for the armed forces and their Secretaries. Furthermore, the 
committee is concerned that future delays in establishing a 
well-functioning United States Space Force could result in 
compromised national security objectives.
    The committee believes that the Secretary of Defense should 
strongly consider the missions, responsibilities, and 
authorities of space functions of the military departments 
during the ongoing revisions of the Unified Command Plan. The 
committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to identify a 
strategy for the integration of space capabilities from the 
military services, and how they are best organized, assigned, 
and commanded in order to achieve national security objectives 
for space. The committee believes that increased investment in 
space defense should continue with a comprehensive and unified 
plan for space operations from the United States Space Force, 
the other military services, and United States Space Command.
    Therefore, the committee directs Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than February 1, 2023, on this strategy for space 
operations integrations. This briefing should include:
    (1) an assessment of what responsibilities differentiate 
terrestrial theater space operations from global space area of 
responsibility operations;
    (2) an evaluation of what is needed for the development, 
launch, and on-orbit sustainment of United States Space Force 
capabilities to meet the requirements of the combatant 
commands;
    (3) strategic objectives for the use of joint space assets 
in support of all combatant commands;
    (4) capabilities required to be assigned to each of the 
combatant commanders to achieve those strategic objectives;
    (5) modifications to the missions, responsibilities, or 
authorities assigned to United States Space Command taking into 
account those strategic objectives and the assessment of the 
different space operations; and
    (6) plans to mitigate any potential future overlap in the 
missions, responsibilities, and authorities of the Secretaries 
of the military departments and the commanders of the combatant 
commands.

Feasibility of Establishing an Air Corps as a Basic Branch of the U.S. 
                                  Army

    The committee notes the importance of air power to ground 
forces. Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Army to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by March 1, 2023, on the feasibility of establishing 
an Air Corps as a basic branch of the U.S. Army. The briefing 
shall include, at a minimum: the roles, mission, organization, 
personnel, platforms, and other matters of concern.

 Reaffirming the Sense of the 82nd Congress with Respect to the United 
                          States Marine Corps

    In the 1951 Committee on Armed Services Report to the House 
(No. 666), Congress affirmed the need for a United States 
Marine Corps. Then, as is now, the committee continues to 
believe the requirement for a trained, equipped and rapidly 
deployable United Sates Marine Corps is an essential element of 
our National Security Strategy. The United States Marine Corps 
serves a critical role, especially when our Nation is the least 
ready. The committee also believes the United States requires 
an agile, 21st century fighting force capable of countering any 
adversary. As it evaluates future warfighting concepts and 
capabilities, the Marine Corps must ensure it does not 
accidentally or intentionally assume increased operational 
risk. As our country's 9-1-1 force, the Marine Corps must be 
able to deploy and fight tonight. Throughout history, we have 
seen the need to have a lethal, trained and equipped Marine 
Corps, ready for the current and future fight. The committee 
believes this force must remain fast-moving, lethal, and 
versatile, to respond quickly to evolving threats around the 
world. This is especially true today as our Marine Corps serves 
as our most forward instrument of power, the blunting force 
until our nation can surge additional forces forward to 
accomplish for potential large-scale mobilization of the 
American military. As it was in 1951, the committee remains 
resolute in their support for the Marine Corps and our Nation's 
need to retain a versatile expeditionary force ready to fight 
and win.

Wargaming in Support of Policy and Program Analysis and Decision Making

    The committee is aware that the Department of Defense 
recognizes the need to ensure that the assumptions and 
analytical methodologies underpinning important capability, 
capacity, and force planning decisions are rigorous and that it 
has established an Analysis Working Group (AWG) to facilitate 
strategic analysis and wargaming. Although encouraged by the 
AWG's establishment of principles and standards governing 
strategic analysis, the committee seeks to better understand 
how the Department is enforcing the AWG's direction that 
analysis intended to inform strategic and programmatic 
decisions must be transparent, robust, and well-designed.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than April 28, 2023, that details the following:
    (1) the actions the Department has taken to ensure that 
analyses informing strategic and programmatic decisions are 
meeting established quality principles;
    (2) how the Department is ensuring the accuracy and 
integrity of data used in the design and conduct of analytical 
tools including wargames, modeling and simulation, exercises, 
and other experiments;
    (3) the actions the Department has taken to oversee or to 
manage the quality of analyses generated by the military 
services, the combatant commands, and other defense 
organizations, to ensure that quality principles are applied 
uniformly across the Department; and
    (4) the extent to which the Department has modified its 
efforts to ensure analytical quality.
    The above review shall not pertain to wargaming that is 
conducted exclusively for training or educational purposes.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to assess the Secretary of Defense's report 
and provide a briefing on preliminary findings to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than 60 days after the 
submission of the Department's report.

                             Other Matters


   Analysis of Flight Hours in Support of the Department of Homeland 
                                Security

    The committee understands that using unmanned aircraft 
systems (UAS) for intelligence, surveillance, and 
reconnaissance (ISR) provides an early warning of threats and 
increases operational awareness. Further, the committee notes 
that the Department of Defense has flown various aircraft to 
provide ISR capability in support of the Department of Homeland 
Security (DHS).
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by March 1, 2023, on current ISR flight operations and training 
in support of DHS. The briefing shall include at a minimum:
    (1) an analysis of ISR flight hours for the last two fiscal

efforts that could be conducted to provide ISR support for DHS; 
and
    (4) an analysis of how current ISR training is aimed at 
addressing current and future challenges to ISR support for 
DHS.

           Border Security Infrastructure Aggregated Dataset

    The committee remains interested in how the Department of 
Defense supports civil authorities at the southern land border 
of the United States and is aware that the Department lacks a 
comprehensive dataset detailing the geographic locations and 
specifications of border security infrastructure and equipment 
operated by the Department of Defense.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services

dataset of border security infrastructure and equipment along 
the southern land border of the United States. The briefing 
shall include information on efforts to identify the geographic 
coordinates and specifications of all border security 
infrastructure and equipment deployed in support of civil 
authorities along the southern land border.

 Briefing on Military Readiness Impacts Due to Irregular Migration at 
                      the Barry M. Goldwater Range

    The Barry M. Goldwater Range is a preeminent facility 
providing critical training opportunities to our military for 
over 80 years. Currently, it provides realistic and unique air 
to ground training to the United States Air Force, the Marine 
Corps, and many of our NATO, Allied, and Coalition flight 
crews. However, due to its proximity to the border between the 
United States and Mexico, the range must sometimes cease 
operations due to migrants crossing between the United States 
and Mexico near or on the range facility. These crossings are 
not only dangerous for the migrants but disruptive to training 
and could have an impact on military readiness.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than February 28, 2023, on the potential impact that 
migrant activity at the Barry M. Goldwater Rage could have had 
on military readiness in fiscal year 2022. At a minimum, the 
report should include the following information:
    (1) number of times the range temporarily suspended 
operations due to migrants being on or near the range;
    (2) the type and quantity of training that was canceled due 
to migrants causing the range to temporarily suspend 
operations;
    (3) whether any of these temporary stoppages to training 
prevented the training objectives from being met;
    (4) the additional costs of any stoppages to training and 
schedule adjustments to reschedule any disrupted training;
    (5) whether a direct correlation between suspended range 
operations due to migrant activity and impacts on military 
readiness can be made; and
    (6) what control measures are currently in place to prevent 
migrants from crossing the United States and Mexico border at 
the range and whether there are plans to modify current control 
measures.

           Briefing on Over-the-Horizon Operations in Somalia

operations in Somalia as compared to persistent presence 
operations.

               Classified Partnership Support Facilities

    The committee understands that partnerships with small 
businesses and universities are essential to the Department of 
Defense technology base. However, while small businesses and 
university research centers routinely have personnel that are 
cleared to perform classified work, they often lack access to 
sensitive compartmented information facilities (SCIF).
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a report to the Congressional Defense Committees no 
later than October 1, 2022, on actions being taken by the 
Department of Defense explore the benefits of a shared use 
classified facility with ``turn-key'' services including 
physical, personnel, and IT security that would enable small 
businesses and university research teams to collaborate with 
DoD researchers on classified projects without having to 
procure their own dedicated SCIF space.

         Commencing a Yearly Interim National Defense Strategy

    The committee believes that the National Defense Strategy 
(NDS) is critical for guiding the President's Budget to advance 
and safeguard the national security priorities and democratic 
values of the United States and its allies and partners. 
Without access to the NDS prior to the finalization of the 
annual President's Budget request, the demands of the current 
warfighting environment risk being unfulfilled. The committee 
therefore requests that the Secretary of Defense provide a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
December 1, 2022, on the feasibility of releasing an annual 
interim National Defense Strategy to better align national 
security interests and demands of the Department of Defense 
with funding requirements. The report should include the 
following elements:
    (1) a reasonable date to release the interim NDS on a 
reoccurring yearly basis;
    (2) an outline of the necessary components of an interim 
NDS;
    (3) the feasibility and potential benefits of transmitting 
an interim NDS in both a controlled unclassified information 
(CUI) and classified form; and
    (4) any other information that the Secretary of Defense 
considers relevant.

   Comptroller General Review of Joint All-Domain Command and Control

    The committee is concerned about the Department of 
Defense's progress in implementing the Joint All-Domain Command 
and Control (JADC2) concept. The committee recognizes the 
Department has made progress on JADC2 planning, but each of the 
military services has a separate effort to address the 
Department's JADC2 requirements concept, and it is unclear what 
capabilities will be delivered to the warfighter, how much they 
will cost, and when they will be delivered.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than December 30, 2022, that includes the following 
elements:
    (1) an inventory of JADC2-related development efforts, with 
a description of each's respective performance objectives, 
costs, and schedules;
    (2) a description of JADC2 performance goals and how the 
development efforts, identified under (1), will contribute to 
achieving those goals, including performance metrics; and
    (3) a list of potential JADC2 capability gaps and a plan 
for how the Department of Defense will ensure those 
capabilities are addressed and funded.
    In addition, the committee directs the Comptroller General 
of the United States to conduct a review of the Department's 
JADC2 efforts and provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than March 31, 2023, on the 
Comptroller General's preliminary findings.
    The committee also directs the Comptroller General to 
submit a report to the congressional defense committees, at a 
mutually agreed-upon time, on the Department's JADC2 efforts. 
The report shall include, but is not limited to, the following 
elements:
    (1) an overview of the Department current investment plans, 
schedules, and cost estimates for their current JADC2 efforts;
    (2) an evaluation of the Department's process for 
monitoring JADC2 costs, schedule, and performance; and
    (3) an assessment of the Department's challenges in 
developing and implementing JADC2 efforts and the Department's 
plans to address those challenges.

       Definition of Over-the-Horizon Counterterrorism Operation

    The committee remains focused on counterterrorism 
operations in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility 
and around the globe. The committee is concerned that the 
Secretary of Defense has not provided the congressionally 
mandated report from Section 1069 of the Fiscal Year 2022 
National Defense Authorization Act. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, in 
consultation with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for 
Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict, to provide a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
November 31, 2022 on over the horizon counterterrorism 
operations. The report should include:
    (1) The Department of Defense's definition of the term 
``over-the-horizon counterterrorism operation'';
    (2) Any operational or strategic concepts that are 
incorporated into such definition;
    (3) Examples of tactical operations, missions, or 
assignments that would meet such definition;
    (4) An identification of the personnel, equipment, and 
systems intended to be used for activities that would meet such 
definition; and
    (5) Any other matters the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Policy determines appropriate.

 Department of Defense's Support for Civil Authorities at the Southern 
                    Land Border of the United States

    The committee is concerned about the current level of 
illegal activity at the southern land border of the United 
States and the national security risk it represents. The 
committee recognizes that the Department of Defense has 
provided critical support to U.S. Customs and Border Protection 
along the southern border and that the Department's presence 
has deterred crime and improved the overall security situation. 
While the committee acknowledges that securing the southern 
land border of the United States is not the mission of the 
Department of Defense, it is interested in how and where the 
Department is providing defense support for civil authorities 
at the southern border.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than March 1, 2023, on the Department of Defense's 
support for civil authorities at the southern land border of 
the United States and the Department's desired outcome 
regarding security along the southern land border of the United 
States. This briefing will include, but is not limited to:
    (1) the Department of Defense's role in securing the 
southern land border of the United States;
    (2) plans to address current and anticipated border support 
mission requirements as part of the annual planning, 
programming, budgeting, and execution process of the 
Department;
    (3) efforts by the Department of Defense, or updates to 
existing efforts, to cooperate with Mexico with respect to 
border security;
    (4) the impact on National Guard readiness; and
    (5) an assessment of how the Department of Defense's 
defense support for civil authorities at the southern land 
border of the United States reinforces the security in the area 
of geographic responsibility of the U.S. Northern Command.

           Department of the Navy Unmanned Campaign Framework

    The committee notes that the Department of the Navy's (DoN) 
Unmanned Campaign Framework serves as DoN's holistic approach 
to developing and deploying unmanned systems. As discussed in 
the Framework, the Navy and Marine Corps must align their 
unmanned systems vision to execute Distributed Maritime 
Operations (DMO) and Littoral Operations in a Contested 
Environment (LOCE) and, to ensure success, the Navy and Marine 
Corps must tightly couple requirements, resources, and 
acquisition policies to develop, build, integrate and deploy 
effective unmanned systems faster.
    The committee believes the current Unmanned Campaign 
Framework overlooks smaller autonomous, unmanned options that 
can provide operationally critical payloads with intelligence, 
surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) and electronic warfare 
(EW) systems. The committee believes Navy should more closely 
examine small, low-cost, high-endurance, reconfigurable ships 
that can accommodate various payloads. These platforms could 
assist the Navy in accelerating its shift to a more distributed 
fleet architecture that can respond effectively to the 
improving maritime anti-access/area-denial (A2/AD) capabilities 
of adversaries, particularly China, while leveraging advances 
in technologies that enable widely distributed maritime forces 
that include significant numbers of UVs.
    The committee believes Navy should better leverage the 
diversity of platforms offered by the private sector and should 
use OTA acquisition strategies for small and medium UMS 
programs Specifically, Navy should better access the 
exceptionally varied and rapidly expanding Commercial of the 
Shelf (COTS) UMS platforms and service models that could 
include Contactor Owned, Contractor Operated--COCO, and 
Government Owned, Contractor Operated UMS (GOCO) service 
models. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Navy to brief the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 
2023 as to the Department of the Navy (DoN) latest iteration of 
the Unmanned Campaign Framework including an updated 
acquisition strategy, plan and budget.

              Diminution of Maritime Prepositioned Forces

    The committee notes that the Navy has placed five Maritime 
Prepositioned Force, forward postured ships representing 45 
percent of the total capacity into a continental United States 
reduced operating status. As a result, the U.S. military will 
be forced to rely further on surge sealift forces to move I and 
II Marine Expeditionary Forces in times of conflict. The 
committee has long held the opinion that our surge sealift 
forces are inadequate in terms of quality of vessels to support 
surge requirements and is concerned that such a decision will 
further exacerbate required time-phased force and deployment 
timelines. The committee believes that an extension of such 
timelines is contrary to future naval warfare that will likely 
require prepositioned forces to be located in theater to 
properly respond and with urgency.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Commander, United 
States Transportation Command, in conjunction with the 
Secretary of the Navy, to prepare a brief to the House 
Committee on Armed Services, not later than March 1, 2023, that 
includes:
    (1) time-phased force and deployment timelines before and 
after this reduction;
    (2) options to mitigate this loss with additional 
intratheater connectors; and
    (3) anticipated timelines associated with the next 
generation Maritime Prepositioned Force.

Divestment of Department of Defense from Road and Bridge Infrastructure

    The committee supports the Department of Defense divesting 
itself of road and bridge infrastructure where appropriate. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
submit a report to the congressional defense committees 
outlining the strategy of the Department of Defense to divest 
from road and bridge infrastructure, including infrastructure 
owned by the Army Corps of Engineers, by December 31, 2022. The 
report should include the following elements:
    (1) the identification of the 10 most costly structures 
from which the Department of Defense should divest itself;
    (2) the 100 year financial liability of the Department for 
the operation and maintenance of the 10 structures identified 
in (1); and
    (3) an outline of how the Department would divest 
infrastructure deemed unessential to support the National 
Defense Strategy.

 Educational Partnership Agreements and Army Arctic Dominance Strategy

    The committee notes that the Army's 2021 Regaining Arctic 
Dominance Strategy emphasized ``the Arctic's role in defending 
the homeland, the complicated geopolitical landscape within the 
context of great power competition, and how accelerated 
environmental change impacts future operations.'' To that end, 
the committee provided additional funding in fiscal year 2022 
to develop polar research and testing capabilities and to 
expand the technical workforce with expertise on the 
environmental conditions that would impact personnel and 
equipment deployed to cold weather climates.
    Greater understanding is required, however, regarding 
whether Educational Partnership Agreements may further the 
Army's Arctic strategy. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of the Army to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than April 30, 2023, 
regarding the Army's Educational Partnership Agreements with 
universities that conduct substantial research concerning 
Arctic and cold weather climate matters. The briefing shall 
address whether expanding the number of Educational Partnership 
Agreements can help address the Army's growing personnel, 
training, and education needs as well as whether they may 
attract more young research faculty to work with the Army on 
operational challenges in the Arctic that have become 
increasingly urgent due to rising geopolitical tensions with 
Russia.

              Electromagnetic Spectrum Sharing Resourcing

    The committee believes that electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) 
is a highly valuable resource that is critical to our national 
security, but recognizes that it is also vital to Americans as 
they rely on connectivity to do many of their daily tasks. The 
committee is pleased that the Department of Defense is 
investing in capabilities to better align the use of its EMS 
resources with industry, and encouraging new ways of thinking 
about access, sharing, and maneuver in the EMS.
    The committee is aware of the ongoing feasibility study by 
the Department and the National Telecommunications and 
Information Administration (NTIA) as directed in Public Law 
117-58. If the feasibility study identifies opportunities for 
spectrum sharing in the 3.1-3.45 GHz bands, the Department will 
need a strong technical backbone to execute a spectrum sharing 
regime. The committee is concerned that, at present, the 
Department is not properly resourced in terms of funding, 
personnel, technical expertise or equipment necessary to 
implement spectrum sharing. The committee encourages the 
Department to make robust investments in the fiscal years 2024 
and 2025 budgets in order to be prepared for the outcome of the 
ongoing study. The committee further encourages the Department 
to work to identify opportunities to scale and adopt new 
spectrum sharing near Department facilities and increase 
efforts to better coordinate these matters with other 
stakeholders to ensure a coherent spectrum policy.

                    Food Security and Agroterrorism

    The committee remains concerned about the potential for our 
adversaries to use Foot and Mouth Disease, African Swine Fever, 
or another foreign animal disease to cause serious harm to the 
food security and economic security of the United States. The 
committee believes it is vital for the United States to respond 
quickly and effectively to stop the spread of a viral foreign 
animal disease outbreak to protect U.S. food production and 
national security. The committee recognizes the need to make 
purchases of Foot and Mouth Disease vaccines for the National 
Animal Vaccine and Veterinary Countermeasures Bank (NAVVCB) to 
ensure the United States has a vital response capacity in the 
event of a detection of Foot and Mouth Disease in the United 
States. The committee also recognizes the urgent need for the 
development of an African Swine Fever vaccine.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Secretary of Agriculture, to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by February 
1, 2023, on the capability and capacity to prevent and respond 
to a foreign animal disease outbreak, such as Foot and Mouth 
Disease and African Swine Fever, in the United States. The 
briefing shall include a progress update on U.S. government 
efforts to help with the development of the African Swine Fever 
vaccine.

             Gaps in Writings on U.S. Marine Corps History

    The committee acknowledges that the history of the United 
States Marine Corps is rich and complex, and that many areas 
remain to be explored by historians. The committee encourages 
and supports collaboration between historians and the Marine 
Corps History Division to help preserve its unique history. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to 
provide a report to the House Armed Services Committee by March 
1, 2023, that lists any identified gaps in the existing cannon 
of United States Marine Corps history to better enable 
historians' efforts to more holistically document the past.

                 Gaps in Writings on U.S. Navy History

    The committee acknowledges that the history of the United 
States Navy is rich and complex, and that many areas remain to 
be explored by historians. The committee encourages and 
supports collaboration between historians and the Naval History 
and Heritage Command to help preserve its unique history. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to 
provide a report to the House Armed Services Committee by March 
1, 2023, that lists any identified gaps in the existing cannon 
of United States Naval history to better enable historians' 
efforts to more holistically document the past.

                Improving Arctic Security and Resilience

    The committee recognizes the Arctic as an emerging arena 
for great power competition. While the Arctic was once viewed 
as a buffer zone, the melting sea ice is transforming it to an 
area of opportunity and conflict for great power interests that 
constitute the nexus of economic success and national security 
objectives. As our competitors expand their presence in and 
around the Arctic, the United States must adjust and improve 
posture, infrastructure, and situational awareness to 
effectively compete and fulfill the priorities outlined in the 
2022 National Defense Strategy.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Commander of the United States 
Northern Command, to submit a briefing to the House Committee 
on Armed Services not later than December 31, 2022 on the 
following information and its potential benefits to an overall 
Arctic strategy:
    (1) Army Unit Readiness.--The Arctic is divided into five 
environments: Arctic (all season), sub-arctic, extreme cold 
weather (ECW), high altitude, and mountainous. Current doctrine 
mandates United States Special Forces to be operational in all 
five environments. The Department of Defense should review the 
feasibility of these requirements.
    (2) Readiness Defined.--The 2021 Army Arctic Strategy 
``Regaining Arctic Dominance'' outlines two classifications of 
Arctic readiness: ``Arctic-capable'' and ``Arctic-ready.'' Both 
have discrete requirements, yet there is confusion over what 
the criteria is to meet each standard of preparedness. This 
becomes a critical liability when determining what units to 
deploy based on their capacity to operate in Arctic-specific 
environments. The Department of Defense should review its 
readiness metrics to ensure clarity and consistency and 
consider using military doctrinal readiness verbiage.
    (3) Self-validation Capabilities.--There should be a 
standardized validation pathway that allows United States 
ground forces to operate in the Arctic. In many cases, partner 
nations validate United States military units. Moreover, units 
are trained and validated in environments that are not 
necessarily equivalent to the existing conditions of the 
Arctic. The Department of Defense should consider the potential 
benefits of creating a standardized validation pathway that 
includes Arctic-specific tasks at the individual and unit level 
and institutionalizing that in doctrine. In addition, the 
Department should consider the benefits of self-validating 
ground forces and the means to create the conditions necessary 
for self-validation to appropriately man, train, and equip 
units to project power in the Arctic region.

    Incorporating Special Forces into the Arctic Security Initiative

    The committee notes the assessment and report required by 
section 1090 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81) is still in process by the 
Department of Defense. The committee believes the use of 
special operations forces are critical to Arctic security and 
should be incorporated into the plan required by subparagraph 
(b) of section 1090, to carry out a program of activities to 
enhance security in the Arctic regions. If the Secretary of 
Defense establishes the Arctic Security Initiative, the 
committee encourages the Secretary to ensure special operations 
forces are incorporated into the Initiative.

       Initiation of Security Clearance Process for STEM Students

    The committee recognizes that within the Department of 
Defense and the Defense Industrial Base, there is an increasing 
need for new workers in the research related fields. Security 
Clearances are integral for employment, yet there are long 
backlogs in processing and investigations, pushing young 
employment seekers to pursue other non-defense related 
employment. Currently, the Department of Defense manages 
science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) 
programs, federally funded research and development center 
(FFRDC) programs, and university affiliated research center 
(UARC) programs, in which undergraduate and graduate students 
participate. The committee notes that this population of 
students represents a well-qualified pool of applicants to 
continue their work in national security-related fields and 
that initiating the security clearance process for certain 
STEM-involved students would facilitate the participation of 
such students in critical STEM programs and enhance the cleared 
national security STEM workforce.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the House Armed Services Committee no 
later than January 1, 2023, on the feasibility, advisability, 
and potential benefits of initiating the security clearance 
process for qualified students involved in certain DoD STEM 
programs, FFRDC programs, and UARC programs. The report should 
include a review of these programs and include recommendations 
for which programs would warrant the initiation of the security 
clearance process for students.

   Joint Forces Intelligence, Reconnaissance, and Surveillance Risk 
                               Management

    The committee continues to be concerned about ongoing 
efforts to divest current airborne intelligence, surveillance, 
and reconnaissance (ISR) platforms without a holistic 
assessment of the effects on the geographical combatant 
commanders' ability to conduct operations. The National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81) 
required each commander of a geographic combatant command to 
provide an assessment of the level of operational risk to that 
command posed by the Air Force's Airborne ISR Modernization 
Plan. Though these assessments have yet to be submitted, the 
fiscal year 2023 budget request proposed additional divestments 
of airborne ISR platforms without available replacement 
capability or capacity. The most recent report from the Joint 
Staff on ISR requirements fulfilled through the Global Force 
Management Allocation Process revealed that only a fraction of 
all geographic combatant commander ISR requirements were being 
met.
    The committee emphasizes that the Department of Defense 
should ensure the military services' plans to retire currently 
flying airborne ISR platforms are considered within the context 
of combatant commanders' operational requirements. The 
committee notes that all current Air Force ISR divestments are 
being proposed before replacement capability has been developed 
or fielded, thereby creating a trough of ISR capacity for most 
of the decade. The committee encourages the geographic 
combatant commanders to provide the risk assessments required 
under section 1066 of Public Law 117-81 as soon as practicable. 
Elsewhere in this Act, the committee includes a provision that 
would require the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with 
the commanders of each geographic combatant command, to provide 
an assessment to the congressional defense committees of the 
level of operational risk to the geographic combatant commands 
associated with any proposed retirement or divestment of 
airborne ISR capability.

                Lethality and the Department of Defense

    The committee believes that the primary purpose of the 
Department of Defense is to provide combat-credible military 
forces needed to deter adversaries and protect the security of 
our nation. The most critical underpinning of deterrence, the 
central tenet of the 2022 National Defense Strategy, is 
lethality. Should deterrence fail, the lethality of our 
Nation's Joint Force will be the primary measure of our ability 
to fight and win our Nation's wars. The committee believes that 
any effort by the Department of Defense that does not directly 
augment the lethality or combat-effectiveness of the Joint 
Force is outside the scope of the Department's mission, and 
thus a distraction. The committee encourages the Department of 
Defense to utilize lethality as the primary consideration when 
determining and implementing Department policies.

                     Over The Horizon Capabilities

    The committee notes U.S. Special Operations Command 
(USSOCOM) is pivoting to countering great power competition 
(GPC) while still executing the priority mission of countering 
violent extremist organizations (CVEO). The shift to GPC 
requires USSOCOM to rebalance its current intelligence, 
surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) platforms. The committee 
is aware of challenges with the over the horizon mission, 
including locations with limited access for ISR platforms such 
as the Javaman fleet. The committee concurs with USSOCOM's 
reduction of Javaman aircraft and reinvestment in modernization 
to advance the transition of special operations ISR 
capabilities to support integrated deterrence, focus more 
capability to counter GPC, and enable access for the CVEO 
mission. Therefore, the committee directs the Commander, 
USSOCOM to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than March 31, 2023, on the reinvestment and 
modernization of ISR platforms to support.

        Report on Congressional Increases to the Defense Budget

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
report to the congressional defense committees as an 
unclassified appendix to the Fiscal Year 2024 Department of 
Defense budget request on the programs and activities of the 
Department for which Congress provided authorization or 
appropriations levels in the Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense 
Authorization Act or the Fiscal Year 2023 Defense 
Appropriations Act that exceeded the amount requested for such 
program or activity in the budget for the Department of Defense 
submitted to Congress by the President for fiscal year 2023.
    The report shall include information on:
    (1) any program or activity that the Department of Defense 
sought to divest from entirely or in part, or requested zero or 
a reduced number of units, but that was restored wholly or in 
part by Congress;
    (2) any program or activity that Congress authorized or 
appropriated at a level exceeding the amount requested by the 
Department of Defense in its fiscal year 2023 budget request by 
$20,000,000 or more, and the sum of these increases expressed 
as a percentage of the Department of Defense's total enacted 
budget; and
    (3) each program or activity listed in this report shall 
include an assessment of whether and how the program or 
activity does or does not meet requirements in support of the 
priorities articulated in the 2022 National Defense Strategy.
    In addition to being appended to the Department of 
Defense's fiscal year 2023 budget request, this report shall be 
made publicly available on the website of the Under Secretary 
of Defense Comptroller.

             Report on Countering the Use of Human Shields

    The committee notes that non-state actors have repeatedly 
used human shields against the United States and NATO forces 
during the Global War on Terrorism, as well as in other 
conflicts, and recognizes the use of civilians to shield 
military objectives from lawful attack or to deliberately cause 
civilian casualties is a war crime. The committee further notes 
that the NATO Supreme Allied Commander Europe has requested 
that NATO member states enhance their capacity and coordination 
in countering the use of human shields. As such, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the 
House Committee on Armed Services no later than March 31, 2023, 
on the Department's ability and efforts to integrate countering 
the use of human shields in joint exercises, doctrine 
development, education, and training at multinational centers 
of excellence.

  Report on Department of Defense Bases and Training Centers Able to 
   Support Joint All-Domain Operations Training in Arctic Conditions

    The committee recognizes the continued strategic importance 
of the Arctic region to the national interests of the United 
States. The committee further recognizes that several of the 
military services and the Department have published strategies 
that highlight the importance of having forces and equipment 
that are prepared, capable, and trained to operate in the 
extreme weather environments of the Arctic. The committee notes 
that in order to support these strategies the Department must 
identify all training facilities and ranges within the Active 
Component and the National Guard that can support Joint All-
Domain Operations (JADO) training in weather environments 
similar to that of the Arctic.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Policy, in coordination with the Chief of the 
National Guard Bureau, to submit a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by December 23, 2022, that 
identifies existing training facilities and ranges within the 
Active Component and the National Guard located in and outside 
the continental United States that can support JADO training. 
At a minimum, the report shall include:
    (1) a list of JADO capable facilities and ranges that can 
replicate the extreme weather environment of the Arctic within 
and outside the continental United States belonging to the 
National Guard and the Active Component;
    (2) training capabilities and opportunities available at 
each of these locations;
    (3) a comparison of the transportation logistics to deploy 
units, personnel, and equipment to Arctic training capable JADO 
locations within the continental United States versus those 
outside the continental United States;
    (4) ways in which the Department and the National Guard 
Bureau can leverage more efficient utilization of these 
facilities; and
    (5) any other matters the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Policy and the Chief of the National Guard Bureau determines to 
be relevant.

Report on Information Operations Deconfliction and Campaigning Between 
                Combatant Commands and Service Entities

    The committee notes that Information Operations (IO) play a 
critical role in military advantage. Our national security 
depends on our ability to influence and disrupt adversary 
information flow and decision-making, as well as defend and 
bolster our own. IO can include a range of capabilities, from 
electromagnetic warfare and cyber operations to operations 
security and information assurance.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, acting 
through the Principal Information Operations Advisor, to submit 
a report and provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by April 1, 2023, on the status of information 
operations across the Department of Defense. Such report shall 
include the following elements:
    (1) An overview of information operations (IO) priorities 
for each Combatant Command and functional component command; 
include forces executing each operation; include which 
capabilities are being used for each operation; include the 
geographic areas of responsibility; include applicable command 
relationships; include force providers; include any gaps in 
personnel, capabilities, or authorities.
    (2) An overview of current IO conducted within each 
military service branch and by the joint staff; include the 
components conducting such operations; include priorities for 
each such component; include forces executing each operation; 
include which capabilities are being used for each operation; 
include the geographic areas of responsibility for each 
component; include applicable command relationships; include 
force providers; include any gaps in personnel, capabilities, 
or authorities.
    (3) An overview of how each military service component 
conducting IO deconflicts operations with Combatant Commands 
and functional component commands; discuss deconfliction 
processes for IO operations and campaigns to include both 
Department and inter-agency stakeholders; discuss relevant 
command relationships in the deconfliction, approval, and

           Report on U.S. Security Assistance to The Bahamas

    The committee is concerned with China's growing influence 
in the Caribbean region. The committee understands that the 
Commonwealth of The Bahamas, which is an important partner of 
the United States and is located less than 50 miles from the 
continental United States, is in a particularly vulnerable 
position given the significant devastation wrought by Hurricane 
Dorian. Much of the defense infrastructure in The Bahamas was 
destroyed in the hurricane and rebuilding efforts have been 
challenging for the Bahamian Government. The committee is 
concerned that China may exploit the current situation, as it 
has done in other parts of the Caribbean and in many other 
regions of the world, by using predatory infrastructure 
financing and other forms of economic coercion in an attempt to 
increase its influence and leverage over The Bahamas. The 
committee understands that the Royal Bahamian Defence Force 
(RBDF), in cooperation with U.S. NORTHCOM, have identified 
millions of dollars in assistance projects that will strengthen 
Bahamian defense while benefiting U.S. Government security 
interests. The committee urges the Department of Defense and 
U.S. NORTHCOM to consider the priorities of the RBDF when 
allocating funding for security cooperation programs. The 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination 
with the Commander of U.S. Northern Command, and the Director 
of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency to provide a report 
to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than April 
1, 2023, on the efforts undertaken, or proposed to be 
undertaken, by the Department in The Bahamas through security 
cooperation, infrastructure projects, training exercises, and 
other means to assist The Bahamas and to advance U.S. security 
interests.

        Report on Wagner Group Activities and Effects in Africa

    The committee is aware that the Wagner Group is a Russian 
state-linked proxy organization operating with the consent, 
control, or direction of Russian political leadership. The 
committee understands that the Wagner Group enjoys the active 
support of the Russian Ministry of Defence, including but not 
limited to transportation, supply, and communications. The 
committee understands that Wagner Group forces are active in 
multiple countries in Africa, including the Central African 
Republic, Libya, Madagascar, Mali, Mozambique, and Sudan. The 
committee is aware of allegations of intentional spreading of 
disinformation, targeting of civilians, mass summary 
executions, and the denial of human rights across Africa by 
Wagner Group members. The committee is concerned that the 
conduct, structure, and questionable security operations 
performance of the Wagner Group in Africa worsens the security 
environment in already fragile African states and regions.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
December 31, 2022, on the status of Wagner Group activities in 
Africa, including the location and nature of Wagner Group 
deployments across Africa, the composition of Wagner Group 
deployments in each African country where it operates, 
assessments regarding the veracity of allegations of human 
rights violations and atrocities by Wagner Group elements in 
Africa, and assessments of the development of the security 
environment in African countries following Wagner Group 
deployments. This report should be unclassified without any 
markings related to dissemination control but may contain a 
classified annex.

                       Rule of Law Collaborative

    The committee recognizes the increased role of the 
Department of Defense in ensuring the establishment and 
preservation of the rule of law around the globe. Given the 
ever increasing threats to the rule of law around the globe, 
the committee encourages the Department to collaborate with 
academia and university centers, with proven experience in 
training federal government and foreign government audiences on 
rule of law initiatives. Additionally, the committee encourages 
the Department to engage with academic and university centers 
to develop strong anticorruption and transparency programming, 
to continue promoting the rule of law worldwide. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 
2023, on the Department's collaborative engagements with 
academia on rule of law initiatives.

                   Security Cooperation in Mozambique

    The committee notes Mozambique's inclusion as a Global 
Fragility Act country, mandating the development of multiyear 
strategies to prevent conflict and promote security, stability, 
and peace. The committee is interested in ensuring that 
security cooperation provided to Mozambique has aligned with 
such strategies and respect for the law of armed conflict, 
human rights and fundamental freedoms, the rule of law, and 
civilian control of the military.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
December 31, 2022, including a list of security cooperation 
programs with the Government of Mozambique in the past 5 years 
to include the amount, type, and purpose of support provided. 
This report should also include information on efforts to 
ensure that security cooperation with Mozambique is provided in 
accordance with existing statute regarding the observance of 
and respect for the law of armed conflict, human rights and 
fundamental freedoms, the rule of law, and civilian control of 
the military; an assessment of the capacity of the Armed Forces 
of Mozambique to effectively implement, benefit from, or use 
such assistance; a description of all monitoring and evaluation 
efforts on such cooperation and their findings; and an 
assessment of the impact of such security cooperation on the 
security and stability of Mozambique and the degradation of the 
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria-Mozambique.

    Sensitive Compartmentalized Information Facility ADA-Compliant 
                               Components

    The committee recognizes that U.S. federal government 
buildings are subject to the Americans with Disabilities Act 
(ADA) and Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) requirements to 
ensure people with disabilities have equal access to federally 
owned and leased facilities. Classified and previously 
classified government facilities are subject to accessibility 
challenges at the suite entry due to security door hardware 
that is not compliant with accessibility standards. Although 
traditional hardware meets basic security requirements, life 
safety and accessibility standards remain deficient. In 2021, 
the General Services Administration approved an Automatic Bolt 
Retraction (ABR) system compliant with the security 
requirements set forth within FF-L-2890C, yet U.S. government 
facilities continue to fail to meet statutorily-required safety 
standards. The FF-L-2890C specification pertains to lock 
extensions and specifically covers pedestrian door preassembled 
locks, pedestrian door lock assembly panic, and auxiliary 
deadbolts for use with changeable combination locks and 
strikes.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to review 
and brief the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 
2023, on how it is applying ABA 404.2.9 in its construction 
design and lease requirements. ABA 404.2.9 pertains to the 
maximum amount of continuous force required for an individual 
to open hinged or sliding interior doors and gates within 
facilities designed, built, altered, or leased with federal 
funds. The briefing shall also include any obstacles or 
impediments to ensuring secure doors otherwise comply with ADA 
and ABA safety requirements, and how the Department of Defense 
plans to source equipment to ensure compliance with applicable 
safety regulations.

    Special Operations Capabilities in Support of Operational Plans

    The committee notes the unique capabilities offered to 
geographic combatant commanders (GCC) by U.S. Special 
Operations Forces (USSOF) to combat threats from non-state 
actors, transnational terrorist groups, and gray-zone 
activities of near-peer adversaries.
    The committee further notes the unique authorities afforded 
to USSOF to combat terrorist threats through support to foreign 
forces, irregular forces, groups, or individuals under section 
127e of title 10, United States Code, and to provide support to 
foreign forces, irregular forces, groups, or individuals in 
supporting or facilitating ongoing and authorized irregular 
warfare authorities through section 1202 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-
91). Further, the committee notes the ongoing threats facing 
the United States from violent extremist groups, and 
additional, dynamic threats posed to the United States from 
near-peer adversaries, and their allies and proxies. The 
committee recognizes the utility of utilizing the unique 
capabilities of USSOF and the authorities provided to them 
through congressional authorization to combat these threats to 
the United States.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict, in 
coordination with the Commander, U.S. Special Operations 
Command, and relevant GCCs, to provide a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2023, on USSOF 
abilities, through the authorities under 10 U.S.C. 127e and 
section 1202 of Public Law 115-91, to support the operational 
plans of each GCC. The report shall include:
    (1) an analysis of additional support needed by each GCC to 
utilize and employ 10 U.S.C. 127e authorities and section 1202 
authorities in Public Law 115-91 in their operational plans;
    (2) an analysis how USSOF irregular warfare capabilities 
are currently incorporated in GCC operational plans;
    (3) how SOCOM's 10 U.S.C. 127e authorities are built in to 
GCC's operational plans; and
    (4) how SOCOM's section 1202 authority in Public Law 115-91 
is built into GCC operational plans; a list of factors that 
hinder or prevent the GCC's use of 10 U.S.C. 127e authorities 
and section 1202 authority in Public Law 115-91; and an 
assessment of near-peer adversaries' use of irregular warfare 
tactics and operations in each GCC.

 Special Operations Forces Capability to Track International Financial 
        Transactions to Counter Violent Extremist Organizations

    The committee notes one of the major challenges to 
countering violent extremist organizations (VEOs) is the 
ability to track international financial transitions in real 
time. The committee recognizes that central to the counter VEO 
mission is the ability to deny resources and capabilities to 
VEOs so they are unable to conduct operations targeting the 
United States and its allies, partners or interests. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense for 
Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by March 31, 
2023, on the Department of Defense's capability to integrate 
information and data matching to track international financial 
transactions and inform special operations forces' 
counterterrorism efforts. The briefing shall include a 
description of the use of any advanced mathematical 
capabilities for phonetic and linguistic processing and the 
identification and matching of foreign language and alphabetic 
systems to support investigations of terrorist threats. The 
briefing shall also include any coordination conducted with the 
Department of the Treasury's Terrorist Finance Tracking 
Program, including investigations of sanctions violations 
related to terrorist threats.

Special Operations Information Operations Capability to Counter Malign 
                          Influence in Africa

    The committee recognizes the increase in malign influence 
on the continent of Africa stemming from China and Russia. The 
committee notes that U.S. Special Operations Forces partner 
with many African nations to fight violent extremists and 
terrorist organizations. The committee recognizes that through 
disinformation and other malign influence campaigns executed 
through state-linked actors, China and Russia are creating an 
asymmetric race for authority and are hindering the fight 
against terrorist activities on the continent. The committee 
further believes that U.S. Special Operations Forces possess 
the skills to assist with U.S. efforts to combat malign 
influence. Therefore, the committee directs the Assistant 
Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low-Intensity 
Conflict, in coordination with the Commander, U.S. Special 
Operations Command, to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services, not later than March 1, 2023, on 
the current information operations capabilities to counter 
malign influence of Russia and China in Africa.

    Ubiquitous Data Collection and Ubiquitous Technical Surveillance

    The committee commends US Special Operations Command 
(USSOCOM) for their efforts to assess training and technology 
which will aid the special operations warfighter given the 
prevalence of ubiquitous data collection (UDC) and the threat 
UDC poses. The committee recognizes the increasing risks to US 
Special Operations Forces (SOF) and their operations which are 
presented by the proliferation of ubiquitous data collection 
(UDC) and ubiquitous technical surveillance (UTS), particularly 
in the era of strategic competition. The committee is concerned 
that more centralized focus and resources are needed to 
comprehensively address these threats across the Special 
Operations community to ensure the SOF operator receives 
necessary tools and regular, consistent training throughout 
their career to keep pace with modern technological advances.
    To this end, the committee urges the Commander of US 
Special Operations Command, responsible for the development and 
employment of US SOF in any environment, to prioritize and 
resource advanced technologies, training, tactics and 
procedures that enable SOF to mitigate the UDC and UTS threats 
from daily routines to the most highly contested operational 
environments. Further, the committee urges the Commander of 
USSOCOM to consolidate efforts under one leader at USSOCOM 
Headquarters to mitigate ubiquitous data collection across the 
SOF enterprise and establish a signature management program 
throughout the career of the SOF operator. This program should 
bring disparate efforts under one umbrella to ensure that 
digital signature management best practices are adopted 
throughout the SOCOM Enterprise to establish and consolidate 
oversight of digital signature management training, doctrine, 
materiel, acquisition authority and requirements under one 
leader.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Commander of USSOCOM 
to provide a report and briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services by November 1, 2022, on USSOCOM's efforts and 
potential for consolidation, as well as how USSOCOM could 
implement a strategic approach to address and mitigate UDC and 
UTS challenges to include the current policies, resource 
constraints and efforts to establish a comprehensive training 
routine throughout the SOF operators' career.

                         Vetting Partner Forces

    The committee recognizes the important role Special 
Operations Forces play in supporting foreign forces, irregular 
forces, groups, or individuals engaged in supporting or 
facilitating authorized ongoing military operations by United 
States special operations forces to combat terrorism and 
authorized irregular warfare operations through the Section 
127e and 1202 authorities. Further, the committee recognizes 
the need to ensure human rights and civil liberties are 
respected through these programs and that the Department of 
Defense takes every precaution to avoid partnering with forces 
who have committed violations of human rights. The committee 
also recognizes the need to preserve its role to decide when, 
where, and against whom hostilities take place, including 
hostilities conducted through or with partner forces. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
December 31, 2022, on (1) the processes through which the 
Secretary, in seeking concurrence from the Chief of Missions, 
ensures that prior to a decision to provide any support 
authorized by Section 127e and Section 1202 to foreign forces, 
irregular forces, groups, or individuals, full consideration is 
given to any credible information available to the Department 
of State relating to the violations of human rights by such 
entities, and (2) the relevant authorizations for use of 
military force, constitutional authorities, and execute orders 
vis-a-vis how the Department of Defense works with, directs, or 
supports partner forces under Section 127e and Section 1202.

                  TITLE XI--CIVILIAN PERSONNEL MATTERS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


Appointment of Recently Retired Members of the Armed Forces to Civilian 
                          Healthcare Positions

    The committee is concerned that the military healthcare 
system is not adequately manned to meet the healthcare needs of 
service members and their beneficiaries. The committee notes 
that section 3326 of title 5, United States Code, provides the 
Secretaries of the military departments with the authority to 
appoint recently retired service members as civilian employees 
during the period of 180 days after that individual's 
retirement if the proposed appointment is authorized by the 
Secretary concerned or his or her designee and, if the position 
is in the competitive service, after approval by the Office of 
Personnel Management. The Secretary concerned may also appoint 
a recently retired service member within 180 days of retirement 
if the minimum rate of basic pay for the position has been 
increased as the result of the establishment of a special pay 
authority.
    The committee encourages the Department of Defense to make 
use of these authorities to the greatest extent feasible to 
help alleviate civilian medical personnel shortages.

   Benefits for Child Development Center Employees and Fees for High-
                        Income Military Families

    The committee is concerned that benefits, including 
retirement, health care, life and disability insurance, leave, 
and other non-pay compensation, for workers at military child 
development centers are insufficiently competitive to attract 
and retain high-quality workers. Most child development center 
workers are nonappropriated fund employees, and the committee 
notes that the Department of Defense has wide latitude to 
design and implement customized benefit options for non-
appropriated fund instrumentalities. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives by March 1, 2023, that addresses the following:
    (1) a feasibility analysis of establishing a custom 
benefits package for nonappropriated fund employees of military 
child development centers;
    (2) one or more alternatives for benefit packages, 
including but not limited to retirement, health care, life 
insurance, and disability insurance, that would be more 
attractive to potential child development center employees;
    (3) projected costs and benefits of potential alternative 
benefit packages for military child development center non-
appropriated fund employees;
    (4) identification of any statutory or regulatory changes 
that would be required to effectuate alternative benefit 
packages; and
    (5) an analysis of how the Department of Defense could 
restructure the military child development center fee schedule 
to be more equitable, obtain additional revenue from high-
income families, and help finance improvements in pay and 
benefits for non-appropriated fund employees of military child 
development centers.

   Briefing on Installation Access for Members of Labor Organizations

    The Committee notes that the National Labor Relations Act 
of 1935 (Public Law 74-198) states that it is ``the policy of 
the United States [to] encourag[e] the practice and procedure 
of collective bargaining and [to] protect the exercise by 
workers of full freedom of association,'' (29 U.S.C. 151). 
However, many members of labor organizations are frequently 
denied access to installations for purposes of labor 
organization.
    The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than March 31, 2023 on the Department's efforts to work with 
labor organizations as defined in section 2(5) of the National 
Labor Relations Act (29 U.S.C. 152(5)) on the development of 
standards for granting access to members of labor 
organizations. The briefing should include information on 
efforts to grant access to members of labor organizations 
attempting to organize employees at military installations in 
the United States. The briefing should also include information 
on how such efforts to grant access to members of labor 
organizations consider safety, security, and uniformity between 
installations to the extent practicable as well as making any 
guidance publicly accessible.

              Department of Defense Civilian Hiring Reform

    The committee recognizes that the complexities of the 
hiring process for the federal government can lead to periods 
of vacancy among civilian positions at the Department of 
Defense. Prolonged delays in filling civilian positions can 
increase the workload of other employees and impede the ability 
of the Department to support the needs of the warfighter. To 
better understand this problem, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2023, that 
includes the following:
    (1) information on the average duration of Department of 
Defense civilian employee vacancies over the past three years 
at each GS level, with specific information on the average 
duration of vacancies at bases deemed remote or isolated by the 
Department of Defense;
    (2) a determination of the number of man-hours during which 
servicemembers fulfilled the duties of vacant civilian 
positions in fiscal year 2022;
    (3) a description of the regular functions that could not 
be completed due to civilian employee vacancies over the past 
three years; and
    (4) a description of what is currently being done to 
address and shorten the timeline between the posting of a 
civilian position and the extension of a hiring offer.

                 Supporting the Shipbuilding Workforce

    The committee notes that it is essential for the Navy's 
shipbuilding industry workforce to have the knowledge, skills, 
and experience to effectively and efficiently design, build, 
and maintain the ships that the Navy orders. The committee 
notes that with the retirement of a large number of experienced 
shipbuilding workers in recent years, the Navy has faced 
challenges hiring and training a sufficient number of 
shipbuilders to meet its needs. The Navy's Report to Congress 
on the Annual Long-Range Plan for Construction of Naval Vessels 
for Fiscal Year 2023, for example, notes that fluctuations in 
shipbuilding procurement cycles have resulted in industrial 
base fragility and a workforce that is difficult to 
reconstitute. In addition, the Navy's 2020 Report to Congress 
on Shipbuilder Training and the Defense Industrial Base stated 
that it is increasingly difficult to encourage young adults to 
enter the shipbuilding industrial base due to economic and 
social workforce changes of the past several decades. Both 
reports identify the shipbuilding industrial base as crucial 
for national security. 
    In order to enable the recruitment, training, and retention 
of a robust shipbuilding workforce, the committee encourages 
the Navy to partner with other Department of Defense components 
and Federal agencies to undertake initiatives to better support 
the shipbuilding workforce. The committee encourages the Navy 
to pursue initiatives that will bolster the shipbuilding 
workforce by providing sufficient pay; high-quality and 
affordable housing; mortgage and rental assistance; support for 
relocation and other transportation needs; childcare and family 
support; retention bonuses or tax credits; and high-quality 
recruitment, talent development, and training opportunities.

civilian employee of the Department of Defense who has an 
annual rate of basic pay equal to $45,000 or less.

               Section 1108--Flexible Workplace Programs

    This section would require the Secretaries of the military 
departments to standardize guidance related to flexible 
workplace programs.

             TITLE XII--MATTERS RELATING TO FOREIGN NATIONS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


               Arms Deliveries to Threatened Democracies

    The committee recognizes the critical importance of United 
States military aid to our allies and partners under threat. 
The committee also recognizes that in many cases, there is a 
sustained backlog of arms deliveries to our allies and partners 
that have otherwise been processed and approved. Therefore, 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, no later than March 1, 2023, that 
includes the following:
    (1) a list of all approved foreign military sales to 
Taiwan, Israel, and Ukraine that exceed $100 million and have 
not been fully delivered as of the date of the report;
    (2) the estimated date of delivery for each system listed

              Assessment of Georgian Security Capabilities

    The committee recognizes the national security challenges 
that the Republic of Georgia faces given the large imbalance of 
conventional forces and geographical difficulties associated 
with aggression by the Russian Federation. In this context, 
capabilities such as coastal defense missiles, naval mines, 
anti-aircraft capabilities, special operations activities, and 
other efforts that counter the weaknesses of a traditional 
conventional force may play a crucial role. To that end, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense, not later than 
March 1, 2023, to provide the House Armed Services Committee 
with an assessment of Georgia's defense capabilities, including 
the role that capabilities and efforts of the type described 
above could play in meeting Georgia's defense requirements, and 
an overview of U.S. efforts to apply those insights to 
Department of Defense national security efforts regarding 
Georgia.

    Assessment of Threats Caused by the Global Food Security Crisis

    The committee directs the Director of the Defense 
Intelligence Agency to submit an assessment to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than December 31, 2022 on 
the current and potential threats caused by the global food 
security crisis brought on by the conflict in Ukraine. The 
assessment shall include, at minimum:
    (1) Impacts of higher food prices on ongoing conflicts and 
in humanitarian settings;
    (2) Impact of higher food prices on countries facing 
political instability, particularly countries within the 
AFRICOM and CENTCOM areas of responsibility;
    (3) Potential macroeconomic and political effects of higher 
food prices on countries with high levels of debt;
    (4) Effects of reduced fertilizer supply on agricultural 
land use;
    (5) Effects on countries that heavily rely on Ukrainian, 
Russian, or Belarusian food and fertilizer imports;

triggered by conflict, adversely impacts the peace and security 
of women and girls, and
    (10) An assessment of the nexus of food as a weapon of war 
and the impacts of the weaponization of food as a U.S. national 
security and global security imperative.
    The committee directs the Director of the Defense 
Intelligence Agency to release a public report and to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by January 
31, 2023 on the findings of the assessment. The assessment and 
report shall be submitted in an unclassified format and may 
include a classified annex.

                Baltic Assistance for IAMD Acceleration

    The committee allocated $215.0 million in line 340 of 
Defense Wide Operations and Maintenance for the Baltic Security 
Initiative. The committee intends that the funds in this line 
above the amounts requested in the FY23 Presidential Budget 
Request be used to accelerate Integrated Air and Missile 
Defense (IAMD) efforts in the Baltic region under the Baltic 
Security Initiative. The committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense, no later than January 5, 2023, to provide the House 
Committee on Armed Services with a briefing on the state of 
planning for prepositioned stocks and force posture in the 
Baltic countries.

Briefing on Logistical Support Provided in Support of Ukraine and U.S. 
                            European Command

    The committee recognizes the unprecedented logistical 
support the Department of Defense has provided in support of 
Ukraine and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) allies. 
This support has been critical to counter Russian aggression 
against Ukraine and will continue to have a major impact on 
future operations for the U.S. European Command (USEUCOM). 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Director, Defense Logistics Agency, the 
Commander, U.S. Transportation Command, the General Manager, 
Theater Logistics Support Center-Europe, and the Director, 
Defense Security Cooperation Agency, to provide a briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services, not later than January 
1, 2023, on logistical lessons learned and major logistical 
challenges in response to the crisis in Ukraine. The briefing 
should include assessments of:
    (1) the state of prepositioned supplies, equipment, and 
weapons prior to the crisis, the impact of crisis response on 
those supplies, equipment, and weapons, and their current 
status;
    (2) logistical and transportation challenges within the 
USEUCOM area of operations that impacted or continue to impact 
crisis response, and logistical lessons learned regarding those 
challenges that can be applied to future operations in Europe 
or other theaters;
    (3) service-level gaps regarding prepositioned supplies, 
equipment, and weapons or other service-level logistical 
challenges;
    (4) changes in the posture of the Defense Logistics Agency, 
Theater Sustainment Command, or U.S. Transportation Command 
that would be needed in order to accommodate a sustained 
increase in U.S. force presence in the European theater; and
    (5) a strategy to implement lessons learned from the U.S. 
response to the Ukraine crisis and address logistical and 
transportation challenges should the theater become 
increasingly contested.

     Cybersecurity Capacity-Building with NATO Allies and Partners

    The committee supports the Defense Security Cooperation 
Agency's (DSCA's) contributions to building partner capacity 
and capability through advising, education, and professional 
development programs and, in particular, the role of the 
Defense Security Cooperation University and its Institute for 
Security Governance (ISG) in supporting this mission. The 
committee also notes the importance of ISG's efforts in 
building capable cybersecurity institutions to strengthen cyber 
defense expertise for allies and partners in their collective 
response to counter aggression in the cyber domain. The 
committee encourages the ISG to continue to explore 
opportunities to fortify its security cooperation curriculum to 
incorporate best practices in addressing cyber defense, shaping 
international norms and values in cyberspace, and enhancing the 
ability of allied and partner forces to respond effectively to 
threats in the cyber domain.
    The committee notes that foreign strategic competitors pose 
increasing challenges in the cyber domain and operate in the 
gray zone of warfare, relying on cyber capabilities to 
intimidate and harass their neighbors while seeking to avoid 
attribution. Therefore, the committee directs the Director of 
DSCA to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by March 1, 2023, on DSCA's programs to build 
cybersecurity capacity and strengthen cybersecurity 
institutions for North Atlantic Treaty Organization allies and 
partners in the face of Russian aggression. The briefing shall 
include:
    (1) current DSCA cybersecurity initiatives in security 
cooperation;
    (2) opportunities to expand cybersecurity programs and 
build capacity in cyberspace security and defensive cyberspace 
operations;
    (3) ISG's initiatives in institutional capacity-building 
for cybersecurity; and
    (4) current initiatives and/or plans to integrate subject 
matter experts within the Resident Advisory Program to leverage 
ISG capabilities for in-country cybersecurity programs.

     Department of Defense Assessment of the Feasibility of a NATO 
                         Communications Office

    The committee notes that NATO plays an important role in 
the development and sustainment of a credible deterrent against 
aggression and strategic long-term competition from Russia. 
Given the current threat environment, the support of a cohesive 
NATO alliance is critical to advancing U.S. policy objectives 
at home.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than December 1, 2022, on the feasibility, and any 
efforts to date, of working with NATO to establish a NATO 
communications office in Washington, D.C. for the purpose of 
raising engagement and awareness of the Alliance's mission, 
efforts, and concerns.

 End-Use Monitoring of Military Equipment Provided by the United States

    The committee recognizes that the United States provides 
military equipment to allies and partners in need.
    The committee is concerned that in the aftermath of 
conflicts, equipment may be left behind, untraceable, and can 
be sold on the black market or fall into enemy hands. In 
Ukraine, the United States has provided a wide variety of 
advanced weaponry, and following the conclusion of the conflict 
this equipment could spread across the region. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, in 
coordination with the Under Secretary of Defense for Research 
and Engineering and the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment, to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than January 1, 2023, on 
mechanisms to comply with end-use monitoring requirements of 
military equipment provided to other countries, to include 
Ukraine. This briefing shall include:
    (1) an analysis of tools available to bring military 
equipment back to the United States, through a buy-back program 
or other tools as identified by the Department of Defense; and
    (2) recommendations for future technological changes for 
end-use monitoring to safeguard against the improper use of 
these systems.

               Engagement with NATO Ally North Macedonia

    The committee strongly supports North Macedonia's integral 
role as a NATO ally and highlights the value of the May 2022 
NATO Swift Response exercise in North Macedonia for NATO 
interoperability, regional integration, and deterrence against 
Russian aggression. It is essential that the United States and 
the rest of NATO continue to conduct similar exercises with 
North Macedonia and pursue further integration. To that end, 
the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation 
with the Commander, United States European Command, to provide 
to the House Armed Services Committee, not later than December 
1, 2022, a briefing regarding plans for additional NATO or 
joint U.S.-North Macedonia exercises during fiscal year 2023.

      European Centre of Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats

    The committee commends the Department of Defense's efforts 
as an original participant with the European Centre of 
Excellence for Countering Hybrid Threats to help build the 
capabilities of the European Union and NATO partners to prevent 
and counter hybrid threats. The committee also supports the 
Department's efforts to continue enhancing the ability of the 
military forces and civilian personnel of participating 
countries to strengthen interoperability and share best 
practices, especially with regard to information operations. 
The committee encourages the Department to institute an 
exchange program with the European Centre of Excellence for 
Countering Hybrid Threats whereby one individual from the 
Department spends a year in Helsinki, Finland, and one staff 
member from the European Centre of Excellence for Countering 
Hybrid Threats spends 1 year working at the Office of the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Policy, Office of the Assistant 
Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity 
Conflict.

Flexible and Responsive Security and Development Assistance for United 
                         States Africa Command

    The committee recognizes that U.S. Africa Command 
(USAFRICOM) requires security cooperation authorities and 
processes flexible enough to respond quickly to dynamic changes 
in the operational environment. The committee also recognizes 
that flexible security cooperation authorities and processes 
should be coupled with a responsive procurement and delivery 
timeline that complements long-term capacity-building efforts.
    The committee is aware that Department of Defense 
implementation of the current authorities for security 
assistance and cooperation under section 2348 of title 22, 
United States Code, and section 333 of title 10, United States 
Code, can be inefficient when attempting to address emerging 
threats or a rapidly changing environment in African countries.
    The committee is concerned by the metastasizing of Violent 
Extremist Organizations (VEOs) and their affiliate groups 
across Africa and their threat to U.S. interests on the 
continent. These affiliates include, but are not limited to, 
al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM), Jama'at Nasr al-Islam 
wal Muslimin (JNIM), Islamic State of Iraq and Syria in the 
Greater Sahara (ISIS-GS), and Islamic State of Iraq and Syria 
in West Africa (ISIS-WA). The committee believes that a 
flexible and responsive means for delivering security 
cooperation and assistance to governments of African nations 
can help defend their national borders and citizens from the 
threat posed by VEOs and their affiliates. The committee also 
believes that improved flexibility and responsiveness for 
security cooperation and assistance will support stability and 
governance in African countries, while limiting the influence 
of adversaries of the United States in such countries.
    The committee is aware that the People's Republic of China 
and Russia are investing in security assistance and development 
projects in Africa, and that it is critical for the United 
States to retain its status as the preferred partner of choice 
on the continent.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Commander, USAFRICOM, 
to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not 
later than February 1, 2023, analyzing the current challenges 
and proposed solutions to implementing security cooperation and 
assistance within the USAFRICOM area of responsibility. The 
types of security cooperation and assistance described in this 
report should include training, equipment, logistics support, 
supplies, services, assistance to develop, repair, renovate, 
and sustain facilities and infrastructure, and advising and 
assisting missions. The report should include the following:
    (1) whether the Department currently has the statutory 
authority to reduce timelines, review processes, and conduct 
interagency coordination associated with security assistance 
and security cooperation;
    (2) the assessed feasibility and effectiveness of 
establishing a pilot program to aid military and security 
forces of, or associated with, the governments of certain 
African countries in twelve months or less from the time of 
submitting a requirement to delivering assistance;
    (3) a description of potential plans for providing such 
assistance on reduced timelines, including: the goals and 
objectives of assistance; the operations, timelines, and types 
of training, equipment, supplies, sustainment, and other forms 
of assistance that could be provided; the roles and 
contributions of the countries to which the assistance is to be 
provided; and the number and role of USAFRICOM personnel 
involved in administering or providing such assistance;
    (4) an identification of possible countries and military 
and security forces designated to receive such assistance in 
any Africa-specific pilot program; and
    (5) a description of how assistance to be provided as part 
of a USAFRICOM-specific pilot program would support a larger 
regional strategy and global Department of Defense and U.S. 
national objectives.

    General Thaddeus Kosciuszko Special Operations Exchange Program

    The committee notes the close military ties between the 
United States and Poland dating back to the Revolutionary War 
when Thaddeus Kosciuszko, a Polish citizen, served the United 
States as a general where his tactical acumen and engineering 
excellence were vital to the American victories. Upon his 
return to Poland, General Kosciuszko commanded several 
uprisings against the Russian Empire. The committee believes 
the long-established historical military ties between the 
United States and Poland continue to be a valuable strategic 
relationship today, especially between both nations' special 
forces. Polish and American special forces possess significant 
expertise in all types of counterterrorism and irregular 
warfare activities, fostered over decades of training and 
cooperation. Therefore, the committee encourages the Commander 
of U.S. Special Operations Command to consider enhancing the 
training partnership by establishing a formal exchange 
agreement under the authority of section 311 of Title 10, 
United States Code and if established, it should be named the 
General Thaddeus Kosciuszko Special Operations Exchange 
Program.

           Improved Air Defense for Kurdish Peshmerga Forces

    The committee notes the persistent drone and missile 
attacks in northern Iraq and is concerned that more must be 
done to ensure the security of U.S. and partner forces in the 
region. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by March 1, 2023, assessing current capabilities and 
future requirements needed to maximize the level air defense 
capability of partner forces of the Kurdish Regional 
Government. The briefing shall include:
    (1) an assessment of airborne threats, to include drones, 
loitering munitions, rockets, mortars, artillery, missiles, and 
other airborne threats to U.S. and allied forces in northern 
Iraq,
    (2) a gap analysis of capabilities required to defend 
against airborne threats identified compared to what is 
currently fielded by partner forces in the region,
    (3) recommended capabilities, training requirements and 
estimated costs to close the gaps identified, and
    (4) implications for the security of U.S. and partner 
forces in northern Iraq should the status quo level of air 
defense capabilities continue.

                    Improvements to Baltic Security

    The committee acknowledges the Department of Defense's 
commitment to the security of the Baltic region and affirms the 
need to enhance the military capabilities of Estonia, Latvia, 
and Lithuania as three of the North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization's most vulnerable and geographically exposed 
member states. For this reason, the committee continues to 
support the Baltic Security Initiative as a critical component 
of the U.S. Baltic security assistance strategy that seeks to 
augment and accelerate improvements to the defensive 
capabilities of the Baltic states. However, despite substantial 
improvements in the military readiness of Estonia, Latvia, and 
Lithuania since 2014, the committee remains concerned about the 
need to meet the enduring threat posed to the Baltic states by 
a resurgent and aggressive Russia. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives by March 1, 2023, containing an updated 
assessment of the military capabilities of Estonia, Latvia, and 
Lithuania. This report shall include:
    (1) the assessed need, current status, and projected 
remaining equipment and resource requirements for the Baltic 
integrated air and missile defense program;
    (2) the assessed need, current status, and projected 
equipment and resource requirements to equip the Baltic states 
with the ability to detect and engage land and maritime surface 
targets at militarily significant ranges;
    (3) the assessed need, current status, and projected 
equipment and resource requirements to stage advanced 
prepositioned stocks and other infrastructure improvements 
needed to support rapid and sustained employment of U.S. land 
and aviation forces north of the Suwalki gap;
    (4) the assessed need, current status and projected 
equipment and resource requirements to provide sufficient large 
caliber, anti-armor, and loitering munitions to enable an 
effective defense of the Baltic states; and
    (5) other relevant matters as determined by the Secretary 
of Defense.

  Increasing Special Operations Forces Collaboration with Allies and 
                Partners with Irregular Warfare Programs

    The committee commends the Department of Defense's use of 
the authority for the Support of Special Operations for 
Irregular Warfare (IW) provided in section 1202 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-
91) and recognizes the ability to increase the capabilities of 
partner countries special operations forces such as Ukraine's. 
The committee also recognizes the Department of Defense's 
desire for increased flexibility in employing these authorities 
to support the National Defense Strategy (NDS) shift to counter 
great power competition more effectively against activities in 
the gray-zone. The committee encourages the Assistant Secretary 
of Defense for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict to 
pursue innovative applications of these IW programs in 
strengthening allied and partner capabilities to resist 
influence from strategic competitors, with an emphasis on 
Military Information Support Operations (MISO) and the emerging 
capability of web-based MISO. The committee directs the 
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low-
Intensity Conflict to provide a briefing to the House Committee 
on Armed Services not later than March 31, 2023, on plans to 
expand the use of this authority to vetted allied and partner 
forces in the Indo-Pacific region. The briefing shall include 
the potential list of partners, the operational or training 
objectives for each expansion and how it supports the NDS.

    Institutional Capacity-Building in Support of Certain Security 
                         Cooperation Strategies

    The committee directs the Director, Defense Security 
Cooperation Agency, in consultation with the Secretary of 
State, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than March 1, 2023, on institutional 
capacity-building in support of each security cooperation 
strategy for U.S. European Command, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, 
U.S. Central Command, U.S. Africa Command, U.S. Southern 
Command, and U.S. Northern Command. Such briefing shall include 
each of the following elements:
    (1) the manner in which assessments of relevant security 
sector institutions, political will, and absorptive capacity 
inform security cooperation plans and capability development 
investment decisions, to include security assistance, within 
each such combatant command;
    (2) the extent to which country security cooperation plans 
with high-priority allies and foreign partners seek to build 
institutional capacity at higher echelons to enable and 
encourage civilian oversight, governance, and management of 
security forces; responsible use of force decisions consistent 
with the law of armed conflict, respect for human rights and 
fundamental freedoms, and the rule of law; and development of 
effective, transparent, and accountable defense institutions;
    (3) a discussion of the manner in which the development, 
planning, and implementation of institutional capacity-building 
programs are integrated with security assistance and other 
assistance authorities of the Department of State and other 
civilian agencies;
    (4) the resource projections for the operational, 
personnel, and programmatic costs across the Department of 
Defense necessary to achieve the security cooperation 
objectives by each such combatant command;
    (5) identification of common challenges across such 
combatant commands and proposals to address them; and
    (6) any other matter the Director determines relevant.

 Iranian Attacks on U.S. Servicemembers and Civilian Personnel in Iraq

    The committee notes the ongoing efforts of veterans and 
surviving family members to hold the Government of Iran 
accountable in civil courts for its deadly attacks on United 
States service members, civilian personnel, and government 
contractors in Iraq from 2003 to present. The committee 
believes more must be done by the United States Government to 
ensure these families' information request are cases are 
promptly and fairly resolved. Therefore, the committee directs 
the Secretary of Defense to brief the House Committee on Armed 
Services by January 31, 2023, on the status of requests for 
information made by the families of service members, federal 
employees, and government contractors who died or sustained 
injuries as a result of attacks in Iraq after March 19, 2003, 
that were conducted or supported by the Government of Iran, 
Iran-backed militants, or an entity receiving material support 
from the Government of Iran. This briefing shall include:
    (1) a status of Freedom of Information Act and judicial 
discovery requests submitted by families of service members, 
federal employees, or government contractors killed or injured 
in attacks attributed to Iran, to include average timelines for 
answering requests, and the number of requests remaining open;
    (2) steps the Department is taking to expedite fulfillment 
of requests for information and records related to these 
events;
    (3) a full and complete summary on any information the 
Department has on the use of Iranian weapons against American 
service members, federal employees and government contractors 
resulting in injury or death; and
    (4) other relevant matters as determined by the Secretary 
of Defense.

                Lessons from Aggression Against Ukraine

    The committee recognizes that in the aftermath of the 2014 
invasion of Ukraine, the United States undertook a variety of 
efforts to expand Ukrainian military capabilities, enhance 
United States military posture in Europe, and strengthen North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization allies. The committee understands 
that while these measures failed to ultimately deter a further 
Russian invasion of Ukraine, they did meaningfully contribute 
to enhancing Ukraine's ability to combat Russian aggression. In 
light of the growing threat posed by the Chinese Communist 
Party, the committee recognizes that it is important to study 
the war in Ukraine and apply applicable lessons with respect to 
the Indo-Pacific and Taiwan in particular. The committee 
therefore directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation 
with the Commanders of United States European Command, United 
States Indo-Pacific Command, and the heads of appropriate 
Federal departments, to provide a report to the House Armed 
Services Committee on Russia's further invasion of Ukraine and 
applicable lessons learned for a potential future conflict in 
the Indo-Pacific region not later than January 1, 2023. The 
report shall address each of the following:
    (1) the role of United States security assistance, 
including as authorized under section 1250 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-
92), in enabling the armed forces of Ukraine;
    (2) the role that joint United States military training, 
exercises, and partnerships with Ukraine played in enhancing 
the readiness and lethality of the armed forces of Ukraine, 
including its reserve forces;
    (3) the specific military capabilities, munitions, or 
systems that best assist Ukraine in withstanding external 
aggression;
    (4) the role that United States cyber operations, 
deployments, or personnel played in enhancing the military and 
societal resilience of Ukraine;
    (5) emerging trends in warfare that played a material role 
in the further invasion of Ukraine;
    (6) the expenditure rate of precision-guided munitions and 
other equipment in such conflict;
    (7) the importance of logistics, communications, and 
critical enabling capabilities in such conflict;
    (8) a description of any authorities, resources, munitions, 
materiel, or infrastructure that would have been beneficial for 
Department of Defense to have had prior to February 24, 2022, 
to have better assisted Ukraine;
    (9) a description of the non-military instruments of 
national power that would have assisted the Department of 
Defense in deterring or otherwise responding to external 
aggression against Ukraine; and
    (10) based on the assessment of the matters considered 
under (1) through (9), an overview of the authorities, 
resources, physical and logistics infrastructure, deployments, 
stockpiles, security assistance, bi-lateral or multi-lateral 
exercises, and policies necessary to: enhance deterrence in the 
Indo-Pacific region; strengthen the ability of to resist 
external aggression; and ensure the ability of the United 
States to defeat external aggression against Taiwan, consistent 
with the commitments made by the United States in the Taiwan 
Relations Act (Public Law 96-8; 22 U.S.C. 3301 et seq.).

            National Guard State Partnership Program Academy

    The committee notes the State Partnership Program (SPP) has 
been an invaluable tool for improving relationships with the 
more than 90 partner nations in the program and the demand from 
potential partner nations to join SPP is remarkable. Many of 
our partner countries are asking for increased contact and 
deeper ties, especially in the wake of the crisis and events in 
Ukraine. Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by March 1, 2023, on the feasibility of establishing a 
State Partnership Program Academy operated by the National 
Guard. The report shall include, at a minimum: the roles, 
mission, organization, budget, possible academy locations to 
include overseas locations, curriculum, and requirements 
validation.

  Report on Monitoring and Evaluation of Security Cooperation in the 
                         Sahel and West Africa

    The committee notes that security cooperation monitoring 
and evaluation in Africa is important for determining progress 
and achieving policy outcomes and that the Department of 
Defense Instruction on Monitoring and Evaluation requires 
regular assessments of security cooperation efforts, including 
in the Sahel and West Africa.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services by December 31, 
2022, on monitoring and evaluation of security cooperation 
programs in the Sahel and West Africa since January 1, 2018. 
The report should include the following:
    (1) an assessment of the contribution of security 
cooperation activities to progress made on United States 
defense objectives such as counterterrorism, support to partner 
governments, and basic security in the Sahel and West Africa;
    (2) a description of security cooperation activities 
undertaken by the Department to realize such objectives;
    (3) a description of the nature of monitoring and 
evaluation of Department security cooperation programs and 
assistance during that time;
    (4) an assessment of the capacity of the Department to 
conduct monitoring and evaluation of all security cooperation 
programs and assistance provided to countries in the Sahel and 
West Africa;
    (5) an identification of which security cooperation 
programs have and have not been subject to monitoring and 
evaluation regimes, including explanations as to why monitoring 
and evaluation may not have occurred; and
    (6) any action taken to limit or cancel security 
cooperation activities as a result of such monitoring and 
evaluation.
    This report should be unclassified without any markings 
related to dissemination control but may contain a classified 
annex.

                Report on Russian Atrocities in Ukraine

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit an 
unclassified report to the congressional defense committees by 
February 24, 2023, describing confirmed and suspected 
atrocities and war crimes committed by forces operating under 
the command and direction of the Russian Federation in Ukraine. 
This report shall cover the period of time beginning in 
February 1, 2022, through the period thirty days prior to 
submission of the report to the congressional defense. This 
report shall include photographic evidence of such atrocities 
and war crimes, if available, and be made available on a 
publicly available website. Finally, the report may include a 
classified annex at the discretion of the Secretary.

    Report on Russian Operations Pertaining to Filtration Camps for 
                          Ukrainian Nationals

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services no later than 
March 31, 2023, outlining the actions of the Russian Federation 
and proxies to forcibly relocate Ukrainian citizens to 
``filtration camps.'' The report should include a comprehensive 
assessment of the known filtration camp locations in 
Novoazovsk, Mangush, Bezimenne and Nikolske. The report should 
further detail the forcible removal, transportation, activities 
conducted within, and the humanitarian conditions Ukrainian 
citizens face within these concentration camps. The report 
should also outline other considerations associated with their 
internment, such as in camp-processing, screening, and 
tracking. Furthermore, the report should outline options for 
diplomatic and humanitarian engagement with regional partners 
and multilateral institutions to ensure continued efforts to 
return these Ukrainians home and that humanitarian assistance 
is expeditiously provided to them.

     Report on Sharing Information on Explosive Remnants of War in 
                              Afghanistan

    The committee recognizes the dangers caused by explosive 
remnants of war (ERW) to the people of Afghanistan from 
munitions which failed to detonate that were employed by the 
United States and North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) 
during the 2001-2021 military mission in Afghanistan. ERWs are 
not only dangerous to civilians but are disruptive to 
communities, impeding the productive use and development of 
affected areas.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
December 23, 2022, that addresses how strike and combatant 
engagement data archived by U.S. and NATO forces can be shared, 
when requested, to support safe and efficient ERW clearance 
operations. At a minimum, the report shall include:
    (1) whether the Department kept location data on U.S. and 
NATO air strikes as well as ground combat engagements during 
the 2001-2021 military mission in Afghanistan;
    (2) how and to whom would the Department provide this 
information;
    (3) how would this information be requested;
    (4) has this information been requested; and
    (5) any other matters the Secretary of Defense determines 
to be relevant.

               Strategies for Non-NATO Partners in Europe

    The committee notes the increased risk that confronts 
European partners who are not North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization (NATO) treaty allies following the invasion of 
Ukraine, and the likelihood of increased Russian pressure 
against their territorial interests, institutions, and ability 
to make sovereign decisions. As the United States continues to 
assist Ukraine and reinforce NATO, it must also develop 
calibrated strategies to assist European partners as they 
confront these challenges. The United States maintains ongoing 
security relationships with partners such as Georgia, Finland, 
Sweden, and Moldova, but those efforts should be assessed to 
ensure they are adapted to the new security environment. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
submit a report to the congressional defense committees not 
later than March 1, 2023, outlining updates to its strategies 
to address national security challenges with European partners 
that are not U.S. treaty allies on the Russian periphery or 
eastern periphery of NATO, in light of the current threat 
environment. The report should include any steps that are being 
taken to address security challenges during the period of 
Finland's and Sweden's application and accession process for 
membership in NATO.
    At a minimum, this report shall include a strategy and 
resourcing plan for acceleration of the training and 
modernization program outlined in the roadmap for the Georgia 
Defense and Deterrence Enhancement Initiative.

  Strategy and Resourcing Plan to Enhance U.S. and Allied Posture in 
                             Eastern Europe

    The committee notes the acute need to adapt U.S. and allied 
force posture in Europe so that it is aligned with the 
fundamental changes to the security environment caused by the 
Russian invasion of Ukraine. Given the new security 
environment, a strategy that aims to revert U.S. force levels 
and posture to their status pre-invasion or transition U.S. 
planning away from investments in Europe, except for 
exceptional circumstances, is untenable. The committee also 
recognizes the role that decisions made at the June 2022 North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) summit may play in 
planning.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a comprehensive strategy and resourcing plan to the 
congressional defense committees not later than March 22, 2023, 
to enhance U.S. posture on the eastern flank of Europe, 
including the establishment of permanent U.S. force presence 
and continuous end-to-end rotational deployments. In addition 
to the components described above, the strategy shall include 
the following:
    (1) a reassessment of U.S. plans to contribute to NATO Air 
Policing, Extended Forward Presence (eFP), Tailored Forward 
Presence (tFP), and other NATO battle groups;
    (2) an assessment of the remaining components of Deterrence 
Package 2, including for each component of Deterrence Package 
2, a justification for why or why not each has or has not been 
deployed yet, the value each component would have for 
deterrence in Europe, and a timeline for the deployment of each 
component;
    (3) the current state of the Department of Defense Black 
Sea Strategy required in the committee report accompanying the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (H. 
Rept. 116-120);
    (4) the current state of the Report on United States 
Military Force Posture in Southeastern Europe that was required 
by section 1246 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-
283);
    (5) the current state of the Baltic Defense Assessment 
required by section 1246 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92); and
    (6) the current state of the report on Sustaining 
Deterrence in Europe that was required in the committee report 
accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2022 (H. Rept. 117-118).
    The committee also directs the Secretary of Defense to 
submit an addendum to the strategy to the congressional defense 
committees not later than June 22, 2023, that includes the 
following:
    (1) an update to the Department of Defense Black Sea 
Strategy required in H. Rept. 116-120;
    (2) an update to the Report on United States Military Force 
Posture in Southeastern Europe that was required by section 
1246 of Public Law 116-283;
    (3) an update to the Baltic Defense Assessment required by 
section 1246 of Public Law 116-92; and
    (4) an update to the report on Sustaining Deterrence in 
Europe that was required in H. Rept. 117-118.
    The committee also directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide an interim briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than August 15, 2022, on potential options 
for inclusion in such a strategy; methodology for assessing 
options, treaty implications of various options, and framework 
for completing the required updates.

                Switchblade-600 Unmanned Aerial Vehicles

    The committee authorized $75.0 million in line 16 of 
Missile Procurement Army for Lethal Miniature Aerial Missile 
System (LMAMS) procurement for Switchblade-600 Unmanned Aerial 
Vehicles. The committee intends that these systems be procured 
for transfer to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, using appropriate 
authorities, to assist Ukraine in resisting Russian aggression. 
The committee further directs the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Legislative Affairs, not later than 30 days after 
the obligation of such funds, to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services on the progress of these 
efforts.

            United States Security Relationship with Bahrain

    The committee believes that it is in the national security 
interest of the United States to maintain a strong relationship 
with Bahrain and support its military efforts and asserts that 
Bahrain plays a critical role as host of the United States 
Navy's Fifth Fleet and the United States Naval Forces Central 
Command. Bahrain is a major defense and security cooperation 
partner and a major non-NATO ally since 2002. The committee 
further believes that it is in the best interest of the United 
States and Bahrain to work together to oppose terrorism and 
strengthen the forces of peace and stability in the Middle 
East.

                 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Export Policy

    The committee acknowledges the Department of Defense's 
commitment to maintaining a technological advantage in Unmanned 
Aerial Vehicle (UAV) capabilities and continues to support 
their use as a critical part of the National Defense Strategy. 
However, the committee is concerned that current UAV export 
policy may inhibit national defense objectives in building 
regional coalitions and maintaining interoperability with 
allies and partners. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by January 31, 2023, on the impact 
of current UAV export policy on Department of Defense missions. 
This briefing shall include:
    (1) the assessed mission impact of UAV export policy on the 
Department's interoperability with allies and partners, as well 
as its ability to build regional coalitions;
    (2) the assessed impact of current UAV export policy on the 
Department's ability to maintain an advantage over adversaries 
in UAV technology;
    (3) the assessed impact of UAV export policy on the defense 
industrial base;
    (4) a summary of potential strategic and operational 
impacts of evaluating uncrewed aircraft for export using 
established aircraft export criteria, such as those that are 
used to export fighter aircraft;
    (5) a summary of the effect on UAV exports to allies, 
whether positive or negative, by the recent export policy 
change which established a subset of Missile Technology Control 
Regime UAVs which cannot travel faster than 800 kilometers per 
hour; and
    (6) other relevant matters as determined by the Secretary.

         TITLE XIII--OTHER MATTERS RELATING TO FOREIGN NATIONS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


    Adequacy of Present Force Posture to Meet Needs of Distributed 
                               Operations

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense is 
developing and implementing operational doctrine dependent on a 
concept of distributed operations. To effectuate these 
concepts, the Department's modernization efforts rely in part 
upon the procurement of Ground Based Intermediate Range 
Missiles System (GBIRMs) and associated doctrinal development 
to deter adversaries. These efforts include the development of 
the U.S. Army Multi-Domain Task Force and the Marine Littoral 
Regiment.
    However, while the Department is pursing the development 
and implementation of these weapons systems and concepts, the 
committee is concerned that the United States presently lacks 
the international agreements that may be necessary to 
effectuate these concepts for deterrence against China and 
Russia.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in consultation with the Commander, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, 
and the Commander, U.S. European Command and the Secretary of 
State, to provide separate briefings to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than January 15, 2023, regarding each 
respective combatant commander's area of responsibility. The 
briefings shall address the following matters:
    (1) an assessment of the effectiveness of the present force 
posture in the combatant commander's area of responsibility in 
supporting distributed operations;
    (2) an assessment of what additional facilities, troop 
rotations, or other international agreements would be necessary 
to effectively employ GBIRMs to deter adversarial aggression;
    (3) a list detailing the status of access agreements and 
understandings that affect the Department's ability to 
implement distributed operations concepts, including the 
deployment of GBIRMs, with each country in the combatant 
commander's area of operations, and an assessment of the impact 
of those limitations on the Department's ability to support 
distributed operations;
    (4) a plan to address the limitations described in (3), 
including an identification of what U.S. agencies and foreign 
organizations would need to be consulted to advance further 
negotiations, and mitigation measures or conceptual revisions 
that are required in the absence of necessary agreements;
    (5) a status update of opportunities the Department has 
pursued or is looking to pursue for co-production or co-
development of GBIRMs; and
    (6) any other matters the Secretary deems relevant.

   Allies' and Partners' Telecommunications Networks in South America

    The committee recognizes the importance of 
telecommunications networks, and particularly the introduction 
of fifth-generation (5G) technologies to telecommunications 
networks. These will continue to play a vital role in national 
security. The committee also recognizes that foreign strategic 
competitors have the potential to exploit communications 
technology through subversion or technological espionage and 
trade-secret theft. The committee believes that the United 
States should use its defense, military, and intelligence 
apparatus and economy of scale to encourage and incentivize 
allies and partners in key regions to adopt secure 
communications and follow best practices to defend against 
malign influence, including disinformation and misinformation 
from strategic competitors such as China and Russia.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than March 1, 2023, on the national security 
implications related to the introduction of 5G communications 
networks within allied and partner nations in South America. 
The briefing shall include:
    (1) the current state of Chinese and Russian penetration of 
and malign influence in 5G communications networks in South 
America;
    (2) challenges or barriers to South American allies and 
partners developing an understanding of standards, military use 
cases, and risks that certain providers pose to their systems;
    (3) existing Department of Defense cooperation with South 
American allies and partners to address national security 
concerns related to 5G communications networks;
    (4) risks to Department of Defense operations and 
activities related to allies' and partners' 5G communications 
networks; and
    (5) opportunities to apply lessons learned from allies and 
partners undertaking similar efforts in Europe.

          Basing and Overflight for Indo-Pacific Contingencies

    The committee recognizes that basing and overflight 
agreements are essential to United States military operations 
and cooperation with allies and partners. Therefore, 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 not later than June 1, 2023, on the 
manner in which allied and partner countries in the Indo-
Pacific could most effectively contribute to the operational 
and contingency plans of the Department of Defense. Such 
briefing shall include:
    (1) a description of the manner in which specific allied 
and partner countries in the Indo-Pacific area of operations 
could most effectively contribute to the execution of the 
operational and contingency plans of the Department of Defense, 
including through access, forward and expeditionary basing, 
logistics, and overflight, as well as the peacetime forward 
posture of the Department;
    (2) an assessment of additional resources for military 
construction, leasing, overflight, or access agreements 
required to facilitate the activities described in paragraph 
(1);
    (3) a plan and associated timeline to achieve the steps 
outlined in paragraph (2);
    (4) additional logistical requirements or considerations 
associated with the requirements of paragraphs (1), (2), and 
(3); and
    (5) any other matters the Secretary of Defense considers 
appropriate.

  Briefing on the Pacific Deterrence Initiative and U.S. Indo-Pacific 
               Command Commander's Independent Assessment

    Section 1251 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-
283) requires the Secretary of Defense to include a detailed 
budget display for the Pacific Deterrence Initiative (PDI) in 
Department of Defense materials in support of the budget 
request. The budget display for fiscal year 2023 identified 
approximately $6.1 billion for PDI. The U.S. Indo-Pacific 
Command Commander's independent assessment identified $9.1 
billion in investments necessary to improve our forces in the 
region. Upon thorough review of the budget request, the 
committee made prudent adjustments to funding levels for PDI 
activities and items identified in the independent assessment 
offered by the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command Commander to achieve 
national security objectives. The committee notes that this Act 
provides funding for PDI activities in fiscal year 2023 
totaling more than $7.0 billion.
    The committee found that the report submitted by the 
Commander of Indo-Pacific Command was satisfactory in its 
content but that its overall classification impeded the 
distribution of essential information to taxpayers and 
policymakers.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
and the Commander, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by September 
1, 2022, on ways in which non-releasable content can be 
minimized or releasable content could be improved in the next 
required submission for both PDI and U.S. Indo-Pacific Command.

                    China-Russia Defense Cooperation

    The committee acknowledges the comprehensive reports 
requested from the Secretary of Defense on military and 
security developments involving the Russian Federation in 
section 1234 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-
283), specifically Russia's information warfare strategy and 
capabilities, including the use of misinformation, 
disinformation, and propaganda in social and traditional media, 
and section 1235 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81), on Russian influence 
operations targeting U.S. military alliances and partnerships. 
The committee also acknowledges the reports on China's military 
and security developments and China's influence operations 
targeting U.S. military alliances and partnerships from 
sections 1244 and 1245, respectively, of Public Law 117-81.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence, to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 1, 2023, on the results of such reports. The 
briefing shall include:
    (1) the extent to which Russia and China coordinate their 
foreign and defense policies;
    (2) China lessons learned from Russia regarding 
disinformation campaigns; and
    (3) the extent to which China and Russia are or are not 
colluding to conduct influence operations.

                  Defense Capabilities of Fifth Fleet

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
February 1, 2023, on improving interoperability with the 
Kingdom of Bahrain, upgrading the capabilities of the United 
States Navy's Fifth Fleet to address emerging threats in the 
region of the area of responsibility of the Fifth Fleet, and 
any costs associated with such capability upgrades. The report 
shall include at a minimum:
    (1) efforts from the Department of Defense to increase 
exchanges between defense officials of the United States and 
Bahrain at the strategic, policy, and functional levels for the 
purposes of enhancing cooperation on defense planning, 
improving efforts to combat terrorism, and increasing 
interoperability between the public security forces and the 
United States Navy's Fifth Fleet;
    (2) current capabilities to defend against air, missile, 
and unmanned aircraft system (UAS) attacks for Fifth Fleet and 
the Kingdom of Bahrain;
    (3) the required upgrades and costs associated with 
upgrading the capabilities for defending against air, missile, 
and UAS attacks; and
    (4) opportunities to improve interoperability with the 
Kingdom of Bahrain in defense capabilities, including maritime 
and air domain awareness, integrated air and missile defense, 
and counter UAS measures.

           Defense Security Cooperation University Structure

    The committee supports the progress that the Defense 
Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) has made to date in 
advancing the security cooperation reforms mandated by the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public 
Law 114-328). The committee supports DSCA's purpose in 
establishing the structure of the Defense Security Cooperation 
University to achieve its objectives, which include management 
and implementation of the Security Cooperation Workforce 
Development Program, institutional capacity-building programs, 
and international military training and education security 
cooperation programs; performance of executive agency 
responsibilities for the regional centers of security studies; 
and elevating the profession of security cooperation by serving 
as an intellectual home for critical inquiry, research, 
knowledge, and learning; and operation of schools or institutes 
deemed necessary for the execution of the university mission. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Policy to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than March 1, 2023, on the Defense 
Security Cooperation University. Such briefing shall include 
the current status of the university, the progress made and 
challenges it faces in achieving its goals, recommendations to 
advance the goals of the university in accordance with the 
reforms mandated by Public Law 114-328, and any other matters 
the Under Secretary considers relevant.

    Enhanced National Guard Theater Security Cooperation in Oceania

    The committee recognizes the importance of enhanced theater 
security cooperation with the nations that comprise the region 
of Oceania. In this context, the National Guard is a unique 
tool of national security for enhancing partnerships with the 
countries in this region. To that end, the committee directs 
the Secretary of Defense, not later than March 1, 2023, to 
provide the House Committee on Armed Services a briefing on the 
opportunities for enhancing the role of the National Guard in 
the region that includes:
    (1) a description of the cooperation between the National 
Guard and the nations of the Oceania region during the 
preceding calendar year, including mutual visits, exercises, 
and training opportunities;
    (2) an evaluation of the feasibility of enhancing 
cooperation between the National Guard and the nations of the 
Oceania region on a range of activities, including disaster and 
emergency response, cyber defense and communications security, 
military medical cooperation, and programs for National Guard 
advisors to assist in training the military and police forces 
of Oceania nations;
    (3) recommendations to enhance such cooperation and improve 
interoperability, including through familiarization visits, 
cooperative training and exercises, and co-deployments; and
    (4) any other matter the Secretary of Defense considers 
appropriate.

Interoperability between the People's Liberation Army and Armed Forces 
                               of Russia

    The committee recognizes the ``Annual Report to Congress on 
Military and Security Developments Involving the People's 
Republic of China,'' as directed by section 1202 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000 (Public 
Law 106-65), as the Department of Defense's authoritative 
report on defense and security issues related to China. The 
committee further recognizes the annual report's value in 
enhancing Congress's understanding of broad developments in the 
military relationship between China and Russia. At the same 
time, the committee believes it is important for Congress to 
have a detailed understanding of the current degree of 
interoperability at the tactical and operational level, as well 
as the barriers to such interoperability, between the People's 
Liberation Army and the armed forces of Russia, which the 
annual report did not address in detail. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than June 1, 2023, on interoperability between the People's 
Liberation Army and the armed forces of Russia. The briefing 
shall include the following:
    (1) an evaluation of existing interoperability across 
command-and-control systems; space- and cyber-based systems; 
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance platforms; early 
warning systems; air and missile defense platforms and systems; 
and information warfare systems;
    (2) an identification of obstacles to greater 
interoperability, including systematic limitations, such as 
those concerning automated command systems technology;
    (3) an evaluation of how regional security forums and 
organizations, such as the Shanghai Cooperative Organization, 
enable greater interoperability;
    (4) an assessment of how Russia's invasion of Ukraine could 
impact interoperability; and
    (5) an assessment of current or future contingency 
operational planning between China and Russia, and how existing 
or planned interoperability will impact the ability to execute 
such plans.

          Iranian Military Assistance to Venezuela and Bolivia

    The committee is concerned with the increased cooperation 
between Iran and South American nations like Venezuela and 
Bolivia. Therefore, the committee wishes to be better informed 
on the extent to which these partnerships may impact U.S. 
national security interests.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
report to the congressional defense committees not later than 
December 31, 2022, on Iranian military assistance to Venezuela

attaches;
    (2) an assessment of the amount and nature of military aid/
equipment provided, and benefits given to Iran in return by 
Venezuela and Bolivia to include passports, diplomatic 
benefits, access to facilities, establishment of facilities; 
and
    (3) a description of the supply routes of military 
equipment to Venezuela and Bolivia from Iran.

      Report on Persian Gulf Air and Missile Defense Requirements

    The committee is concerned by the missile and drone attacks 
conducted by Iran and its proxies against the Kingdom of Saudi 
Arabia and the United Arab Emirates in the Persian Gulf, 
Arabian Sea, and Red Sea. The committee recognizes the threat 
posed to the United States and its allies by the threat of Iran 
and its proxies in the Persian Gulf. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
Commander of U.S. Central Command, to provide a report to the 
House Committee on Armed Services not later than February 1, 
2023, on the assessed defensive capability and capacity in the 
Persian Gulf against Iranian and non-state actor air and 
missile threats; the status of efforts to improve air defense 
capabilities, and recommendations on necessary improvements of 
air defense capabilities to counter this threat.

                 Republic of Korea Extended Deterrence

    The committee acknowledges that on May 21, 2022, President 
Yoon Suk Yeol and President Joseph R. Biden issued a United 
States-Republic of Korea Leaders' Joint Statement whereby 
President Biden affirmed the ``U.S. extended deterrence 
commitment to the ROK using the full range of U.S. defense 
capabilities, including nuclear, conventional, and missile 
defense capabilities.'' The two Presidents also agreed to 
``reactivate the high-level Extended Deterrence Strategy and 
Consultation Group (EDSCG) at the earliest date.'' Finally, 
both leaders committed to ``further strengthen deterrence by 
reinforcing combined defense posture, and reiterate commitment 
to a conditions-based transition of wartime operational 
control.''
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than March 1, 2023, on how the Department of Defense 
will seek to implement the U.S. extended deterrence commitment 
to the Republic of Korea as well as progress made on the EDSCG.

                Republic of Korea Mutual Defense Treaty

    The committee acknowledges that the bond between the United 
States and the Republic of Korea is founded in shared sacrifice 
and serves as a linchpin for peace and security in the Indo-
Pacific region. The committee also recognizes that this coming 
year marks the 70th anniversary of the Mutual Defense Treaty, 
which has served as the bedrock of the United States-Republic 
of Korea Alliance. With growing regional challenges, including 
threats to the rules-based international order, the Republic of 
Korea and the United States are unified in common determination 
to deepen and broaden defense ties amidst a changing security 
environment.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than March 1, 2023, on how the Department of Defense 
continues to strengthen its long-term commitment to the defense 
of the Republic of Korea and the combined defense posture under 
the United States-Republic of Korea Mutual Defense Treaty in 
the future. The briefing shall include:
    (1) the scope and scale of combined military exercises and 
training on and around the Korean Peninsula considering the 
evolving threat in the region;
    (2) efforts to enhance security measures and identify new 
or additional steps to reinforce deterrence in the face of 
destabilizing activities by the Democratic People's Republic of 
Korea; and
    (3) efforts to counter threats to the security of the 
Republic of Korea by Russia and the People's Republic of China.

                  Security Partnership with Somaliland

    The committee notes that increased United States engagement 
in the Horn of Africa and Red Sea region has presented an 
opportunity to strengthen security cooperation and partnership 
with Somaliland.
    The committee notes that while the United States does not 
recognize Somaliland as an independent state, Somaliland 
occupies a pivotal geographic location in the Horn of Africa 
and is adjacent to strategic maritime routes in the Red Sea and 
Gulf of Aden and Somaliland has shared interests and assets 
that could contribute to U.S. military objectives and provide 
flexibility given the evolving security situation in the 
region. Due to these shared interests, a 50-person U.S. Africa 
Command (USAFRICOM) survey team visited Somaliland in August 
2021 to inspect the Port of Berbera, its adjacent airport, and 
related infrastructure, observe maritime security operations, 
and consult with relevant authorities. Subsequently, a visit to 
the United States by senior Somaliland officials and a visit to 
Somaliland by Commander, USAFRICOM, deepened mutual interest 
for cooperating to secure shared interests. Given such 
engagement, changes to U.S. defense posture in the region, and 
U.S. interests in preserving and expanding stability with the 
help of democratic partners, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the House Committee 
on Armed Services by May 31, 2023, with recommendations for 
expanding the security partnership with Somaliland and its 
potential contributions to U.S. military objectives in the Horn 
of Africa and Red Sea region. This report should examine a 
range of areas for possible cooperation, including port access, 
military training, joint exercises, and intelligence sharing 
that can promote regional stability, enhance maritime and 
border security, and assist in deterring the trafficking of 
humans, wildlife, weapons, and illicit goods.

          State Partnership Program Bilateral Affairs Officers

    The committee recognizes the State Partnership Program 
plays an important role in supporting the security cooperation 
objectives of the United States and the geographic combatant 
commands by developing enduring relationships with partner 
countries and carrying out activities to build partner 
capacity, improve interoperability, and enhance U.S. access and 
influence. Persistent engagements are crucial to developing a 
tailored approach to improve the readiness of U.S. and partner 
forces to meet emerging challenges. Bilateral affairs officers 
from the National Guard, assigned to the U.S. Embassy located 
in the State's partnership country, play a crucial role in 
achieving the objectives of the State Partnership Program. The 
committee supports and encourages each State with an active 
State Partnership Program to assign a bilateral affairs officer 
to the relevant U.S. Embassy to coordinate State partnership 
activities, execute partnership support plans, and build 
enduring relationships between the United States and its 
partner country.

          Strategic Competitor Wargames and Tabletop Exercises

    The committee notes that wargaming and tabletop exercises 
are essential tools for military commanders across the 
tactical, operational, and strategic levels of warfare. Such 
exercises also help leaders and policymakers better understand 
the range of possible warfighting futures, innovate and express 
new ideas, challenge current assumptions, and integrate 
technologies and capabilities into operations and force 
structure. The committee supports the use of recurring 
wargaming and tabletop exercises across the U.S. Government to 
test the military, diplomatic, and economic response, as well 
as the domestic resiliency, of the United States in the event 
of conflict involving a strategic competitor. Such exercises 
that include Members of Congress and involve all relevant 
senior leaders from across the interagency, as well as, if 
appropriate, the private sector and international partners, 
would help ensure that policymakers have a comprehensive view 
of the administration's approach to potential conflict across 
all areas of national power against strategic competitors, 
particularly the People's Republic of China. The committee 
encourages the Department of Defense to maximize interagency 
participation in such exercises in order to examine how all 
levers of national power could be used in such scenarios to 
achieve unity of effort across the U.S. Government.
    Further, the committee supports the Department's use of 
wargames and tabletop exercises to inform planning in the U.S. 
Indo-Pacific Command area of operations, specifically with 
respect to a scenario involving a conflict with China related 
to Taiwan. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than March 15, 2023, on wargames and 
tabletop exercises conducted related to Taiwan, or with respect 
to other scenarios involving strategic competition with China 
in the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command area of operations. Such 
briefing shall include the parameters of the wargames or 
exercises, conclusions, and how the conclusions informed the 
Department's force posture and resourcing and logistics 
planning at the strategic and operational levels relative to 
the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command area of operations. Such briefing 
shall also include the feasibility and advisability of 
including interagency partners in such exercises in order to 
develop an integrated, whole-of-government approach to 
preserving Taiwan's security.

              Taiwan Air and Missile Defense Capabilities

    The committee supports Taiwan's acquisition of defense 
articles and services necessary for Taiwan to maintain a 
sufficient self-defense capability as set forth in the Taiwan 
Relations Act (Public Law 96-8), with an emphasis on 
capabilities that support the asymmetric defense strategy of 
Taiwan, including, among others, air defense capabilities. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 1, 2023, on Taiwan's air and missile defense 
capabilities. Such briefing shall include:
    (1) Taiwan's assessed defensive capability and capacity 
against the People's Liberation Army's air and missile threats;
    (2) the status of efforts to improve Taiwan's air defense 
capabilities;
    (3) the status of the interoperability between U.S. and 
Taiwan air defense systems; and
    (4) recommendations on how best to support Taiwan's 
expeditious acquisition of air defense capabilities.

                 U.S. Allies-Israel Military Exercises

    The committee believes that it is in the national security 
interest of the United States for the Department of Defense to 
promote and support multilateral exercises in the U.S. Central 
Command and U.S. Africa Command area of operations that include 
Israel and United States regional partners and allies.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by December 30, 2022 on efforts to host, promote, and 
participate in such exercises.

       United States and Allies Counter-Drone Capabilities Study

    The committee recognizes the growing threat of unmanned 
aerial systems (UAS), especially in the Middle East. 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 June 1, 2023, on the current 
state of counter-UAS capability of allied forces and partners 
in the Middle East, the implications of such a degree of 
capability for the security of United States and allied forces 
in the region against UAS attacks, and the force protection 
requirements for the United States and allied forces, including 
air defense capabilities. The briefing shall also include the 
current level of counter-UAS and air defense training and 
equipment available to allied and partner forces in the region 
and the type and availability of additional training and 
equipment needed to increase this capability in the region.

    United States Support for Indigenous Defense Platforms in India

    The committee believes that cooperation with allies and 
partners is vital to the success of the Department of Defense 
in the Indo-Pacific. The committee is encouraged by efforts to 
improve the military-to-military relationship between the 
United States and India. Due to the strategic importance of 
this relationship, the committee believes it would be 
beneficial for the Department of Defense to study ways to 
support India's efforts to produce indigenous defense systems.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to conduct a study and to provide a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by February 1, 2022, on the manner 
and extent to which the United States can support the 
development of indigenous defense platforms in India. The study 
and report shall include information and recommendations based 
on, but not limited to:
    (1) the capabilities of the United States industrial base 
to support programs, projects, or activities anticipated or 
planned to be taken by appropriate Indian counterparts;
    (2) an identification of current platforms operated by 
India that could hinder improved interoperability between the 
United States and India; and
    (3) ways that the United States' support can serve as a 
viable alternative to support offered by Russia or China to 
India.

        United States-Israel Operations-Technology Working Group

    The committee applauds the Department's establishment on 
November 1, 2021, of the United States-Israel Operations-
Technology Working Group, which Congress authorized in section 
1299M of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2021 (Public Law 116-283). Following the inaugural meeting in 
May, the committee continues to believe the working group can 
play a vital role in strengthening the military research and 
development relationship with Israel and help ensure American 
warfighters never confront adversaries armed with more advanced 
weapons.
    The committee expects the working group to fulfill four 
primary responsibilities. These include:
    (1) providing a standing forum for the United States and 
Israel to systematically share intelligence-formed military 
capability requirements;
    (2) identifying military capability requirements common to 
the Department of Defense and the Ministry of Defense of 
Israel;
    (3) assisting defense suppliers in the United States and 
Israel by assessing recommendations from such defense suppliers 
with respect to joint science, technology, research, 
development, test, evaluation, and production efforts; and
    (4) developing, as feasible and advisable, combined United 
States-Israel plans to research, develop, procure, and field 
weapon systems and military capabilities as quickly and 
economically as possible to meet common capability requirements 
of the Department and the Ministry of Defense of Israel.
    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 30, 2022, 
on how the working group is fulfilling its four primary 
responsibilities. The committee is particularly interested in 
what specific decisions were made during the May meeting and 
would like to be briefed on the implementation plan and 
timeline for each area of cooperation and what authorizations 
and appropriations may be required.

 21st Century Integrated Digital Experience Act Compliance and Digital 
                             Modernization

    Since the appointment of the Defense Media Activity (DMA) 
as the lead agency for the consolidation of the Department of 
Defense's public website management, the committee has observed 
positive developments in the drive toward compliance with the 
21st Century Integrated Digital Experience Act (Public Law 115-
336). The committee continues to support the compliance and 
modernization effort, now titled ``Web Enterprise Business'' 
(WEB), and recommends an increase of $5.0 million in Operation 
and Maintenance, Defense-Wide, Defense Media Activity for 
acceleration of the consolidation initiative and maintenance of 
all Department component public website management within a 
central program. DMA should coordinate with the Office of the 
Assistant to the Secretary of Defense for Public Affairs, 
Defense Information Systems Agency, and Department of Defense 
Chief Information Officer to ensure that WEB can quickly scale 
to the challenge of full compliance.
    The committee directs the Assistant to the Secretary of 
Defense for Public Affairs, in coordination with the Department 
of Defense Chief Information Officer, to provide a briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services not later than April 1, 
2023, on the progress of WEB.

Briefing on Department of Defense Software Supply Chain Vulnerabilities

    The Committee recognizes the importance of protection our 
software supply chain from attacks. It understands that trends 
show software supply chain attacks are increasing at an 
exponential rate of 4-5 times per year, with several thousand 
attacks in 2021. The Committee understands that the Department 
of Defense with support of Congress continues to address supply 
chain vulnerabilities but is concerned that the focus has been 
on material and hardware vice the software supply chain. 
Accordingly, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services no 
later than March 1, 2023, on its efforts to identify and 
mitigate supply chain threats and vulnerabilities throughout 
the software supply chain, to include software as well as 
procedures and controls to ensure the security of that software 
supply chain.

          Briefing on Disruption of Global Positioning System

    The committee recognizes the increasing threat of Global 
Positioning System disruptions and believes it is critical to 
invest in technologies that provide resilient and assured 
position, navigation, and timing capabilities, including those 
provided through alternative navigation.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than December 23, 2022, on its plan across the Future 
Years Defense Program (FYDP) to source and provide alternative 
navigation broadcast services. The briefing shall include:
    (1) the current level of alternative navigation broadcast 
services provided to the Department of Defense for development, 
test, evaluation, and operational uses;
    (2) an assessment of infrastructure investments;
    (3) the projected requirement across the FYDP for improved 
infrastructure and architecture;
    (4) the projected funding requirements and timelines for 
each of the above; and
    (5) progress on radio frequency-based alternative

       Briefing on the Continuous Authority to Operate Initiative

    In February 2022, the Department of Defense Chief 
Information Officer unveiled a new policy detailing the 
requirements for contracting officers to enact a ``Continuous 
Authority to Operate'' (cATO). The committee commends the 
initiative and its intent. The committee sees efforts such as 
cATO as essential to transforming the digital infrastructure 
and warfighting posture of the Department. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Chief Information Officer to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than September 1, 2023, on the cATO effort, any reflections to 
date, and recommendations on similar initiatives to speed the 
digital transformation of the Department.

                  Cloud Management Software Technology

    The Committee supports the Department's decision to deploy 
a multi-cloud architecture. A multi-cloud approach aligns 
better with the Department's mission and offers many benefits 
including allowing for more comprehensive future innovations, 
easier data portability, increased resilience and security, and 
decreased stove-piping. The Committee directs the Chief 
Information Officer of the Department of Defense to provide a 
briefing the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
March 31, 2023 on the strategy for future multi-cloud projects.

    Commercial Solutions for Classified Program Architecture Review

    The committee recognizes the success of the National 
Security Agency's Commercial Solutions for Classified (CSfC) 
Program, which enables commercial products to be used in 
layered solutions to protect classified National Security 
System data. However, the committee is aware that some 
stakeholders from industry have made claims that the CSfC 
Architecture is not reviewed or updated in a timely manner, and 
may not incorporate feedback from the private sector. While the 
committee is aware of recent and upcoming updates of CSfC 
Capability and Annexes, the committee believes that greater 
clarity on the issue is required. Therefore the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the 
House Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
of Representatives by March 1, 2023, on the Department's 
efforts to date for CSfC, to include communication with the 
private sector, public accessibility of information, and 
existing forums or mechanism for public engagement.

             Comptroller General Review of Data Egress Fees

    The committee is aware that data egress fees are charges 
cloud service providers (CSPs) bill to customers to defray the 
costs of moving their data from the CSP's cloud infrastructure 
to another CSP or the customer's own data center. Some 
prevailing cloud services models incentivize migrating data to 
the cloud by offsetting or waiving upfront adoption costs (for 
example, by increasing outbound data transmission charges) that 
in many cases make it cost-prohibitive to move one's data from 
one provider to another; in effect, making it relatively 
inexpensive to migrate data into the cloud but cost-prohibitive 
to switch CSPs or work with more than one, as is considered 
best practice. The committee is concerned that the Department 
of Defense has not accounted for these hidden costs, their 
lock-in effects, or the negative implications they could have 
on ensuring a competitive environment for future cloud 
procurements and the Department's need to leverage the breadth 
of innovation across multiple CSPs.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to submit a report to the congressional 
defense committees not later than April 1, 2023, on data egress 
fees and the impact such fees could have on the Department of 
Defense as it transitions to cloud services and leverages 
innovation across multiple CSPs. Considerations as part of the 
Comptroller General's examination should include:
    (1) the relationship between data egress fees and potential 
for vendor lock-in;
    (2) how egress fees could affect different cloud 
architecture models;
    (3) how the Department is taking efforts to mitigate the 
potential impact of data egress fees; and
    (4) any additional matters the Comptroller General 
determines appropriate.

                      Cyber Auxiliary Utilization

    In a globally and technologically complex environment, the 
Department of Defense requires an adaptability to leverage 
skills and knowledge where and when available. In recognition 
of this challenge, in April 2019 the United States Marine Corps 
established a Marine Corps Cyber Auxiliary, a volunteer 
organization of highly talented cyber experts who train, 
educate, assist, and mentor Marines to keep pace with 
constantly evolving cyber challenges. This is a novel approach 
that the committee recognizes and commends. In response, the 
committee directs the Principal Cyber Advisors of the United 
States Army, Navy, and Air Force each to provide a report to 
the House Committee on Armed Services not later than December 
30, 2022, that evaluates the Marine Corps use of existing 
authorities to create a cyber auxiliary and applicability for 
each military service's requirements to achieve strategic 
objectives in cyberspace.

Cyber-Related Responsibilities of the Office of the Under Secretary of 
                Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment

    Cybersecurity has become a critical facet of all Department 
of Defense matters and especially in the context of acquisition 
of new systems, weapons, technologies, and assets for the 
warfighter. The Department of Defense depends upon the Defense 
Industrial Base (DIB) to provide these items. As such, the 
cybersecurity of the DIB must be resourced and invested to 
enable private industry to defend itself and its products. The 
committee has noted and continues to hold concerns about how 
the issue of DIB cybersecurity is managed across the Department 
and specifically across the Office of the Secretary of Defense, 
with multiple stakeholders and imprecise lines of 
responsibility between components including the Office of the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Office of the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, Office of 
the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, 
and Office of the Chief Information Officer.
    Rather than being the responsibility of any single 
stakeholder, the committee believes in the necessity for all 
components to play a role, so long as that role is clear to all 
involved. To ensure clarity and unity of effort, the committee 
directs the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment (OUSD(A&S)) to provide a briefing 
to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
November 1, 2022, in which it articulates its role in DIB 
cybersecurity across the entirety of the organization, as well 
as the role played by the Office of the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Industrial Base Policy. Additionally, this briefing 
should present updates on the work of (OUSD(A&S)) in 
developing, assisting, and executing on the executive branch's 
wider effort related to Software Bill of Materials (SBOM).

                 Cybersecurity Activities with Georgia

    The Republic of Georgia faces major regional security 
challenges, including extensive challenges in cyberspace. The 
committee expects the defense relationship between the United 
States and Georgia to continue to mature. To that end, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services, no later 
than March 1, 2023, on the last two years of DOD activities 
with Georgia on cyber-related matters. This briefing should 
describe activities by any and all components of DOD as relates 
to cyberspace, to include United States Cyber Command and 
United States European Command. Additionally, this briefing 
shall include potential recommendations and plans for future 
engagement with Georgia on cyber-related matters.

                         Data Bus Cybersecurity

    The committee is aware that the MQ-8 Fire Scout is a core 
effort for the United States Navy in the pursuit of effectively 
leveraging unmanned platforms in future warfighting and that 
the cybersecurity of the MQ-8 is essential in this effort.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Chief of Naval 
Operations to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than December 23, 2022, on potential 
cybersecurity threats to the MQ-8, the utilization and reliance 
on the Department of Defense Military Standard 1553, as well as 
potential mitigations currently and prospectively available to 
address any of the identified threats.

                       Defense Historical Records

    The committee is encouraged by the recent efforts of the 
Army War College to modernize its military library holdings 
containing over 50 million valuable manuscripts, maps, and 
reports that date back to the mid-18th century. This extensive 
historical collection is of great interest to the public and 
digitization not only preserves the information but also 
provides public access. Historical materials, like those at the 
Army War College, are essential to an active civic society; 
however, the materials are only as useful as the infrastructure 
and architecture built to enable access to them.
    Therefore, the committee recommends the U.S. Army Center of 
Military History, Air Force Historical Research Agency, Naval 
Heritage and History Command, and U.S. Marine Corps History 
Division develop requirements to provide public access to this 
information, including digital solutions. The committee directs 
the U.S. Army Chief of Military History, in coordination with 
the Directors of the Air Force Historical Research Agency, 
Naval Heritage and History Command, and U.S. Marine Corps 
History Division, to submit a report to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than August 1, 2023, on their digital 
strategy involving historical collections.

     Electromagnetic Battle Management Machine Learning Integration

    The committee supports the efforts of the Defense 
Information Systems Agency (DISA) to rapidly prototype and 
develop a Joint Electromagnetic Battle Management (EMBM) 
system. The committee anticipates that the EMBM Minimum Viable 
Capability Release 1 (MVCR1) will provide capabilities that are 
critical to countering the efforts of near peer competitors who 
seek to degrade our operational capabilities in the 
electromagnetic spectrum.
    The committee also supports DISA's use of an agile 
acquisition methodology for EMBM, and agrees that future 
iterations of EMBM will need to add and refine functionality in 
order to provide a mature solution that is capable of enabling 
long term electromagnetic superiority. Furthermore, the 
committee believes that achieving superiority in 
electromagnetic spectrum operations will require the rapid 
integration of machine learning technologies into programs that 
support this critical mission area. Some machine learning 
capabilities will be included in MVCR1, however, additional 
resourcing will be required to provide a mature solution 
capable of incorporating machine learning that implements EMBM 
tasks within the DoD's Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority 
Strategy Implementation plan and enables long term 
electromagnetic superiority.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Director of the 
Defense Information Systems Agency to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by March 31, 2023, on DISA's 
plan to incorporate machine learning capabilities into the EMBM 
MVCR1 program.

                      Enterprise Software Licenses

    The committee is aware that a portion of the Department of 
Defense's workloads are dependent upon on the use of enterprise 
software licenses from software providers. The committee has 
observed how restrictive licensing practices can have the 
effect of limiting customer choice and increasing cost when 
customers are procuring one or more cloud services. These 
restrictive software licensing practices often apply to 
software widely adopted by the Department of Defense, and the 
committee is concerned that the Department of Defense may not 
have an accurate approach to accounting for the costs 
associated with restrictive licensing practices.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to submit a report to the congressional 
defense committees not later than August 1, 2023, on the impact 
that restrictive software licenses could have on the Department 
of Defense as it transitions to cloud services and leverages 
innovation across multiple CSPs. Considerations as part of the 
Comptroller General's examination should include:
    (1) the relationship between restrictive software licenses 
and cloud costs and choice;
    (2) how the restrictive software licenses could affect 
different cloud architecture;
    (3) what efforts the Department is taking to mitigate the 
potential impact of restrictive software licenses; and
    (4) any additional matters the Comptroller General 
determines appropriate.

     Foreign Partner Compliance with Cybersecurity Contract Clauses

    The committee is aware that in March 2021, the United 
Kingdom (U.K.) Ministry of Defence issued an Industry Security 
Notice (ISN) 2021/03 with instructions for the U.K. defense 
supply base on how to address cybersecurity contractual 
requirements imposed by foreign governments. The Ministry of 
Defence is particularly concerned about requirements that 
subject the information systems and networks of U.K. defense 
contractors to access by foreign nations. The ISN focused on 
the network and data access requirements within the Defense 
Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (DFARS) 252.204-7012 
(``Safeguarding Covered Defense Information and Cyber Incident 
Reporting'') and 252.204-7020 (``NIST SP 800-171 DOD Assessment 
Requirements''). Although the ISN does not explicitly direct 
U.K. defense contractors to reject these clauses, the committee 
understands that at least one U.K.-based contractor has been 
unwilling to accept the risk of compliance with the DFARS 
clauses, with immediate implications for the readiness of at 
least two critical Department of Defense programs.
    The committee understands that the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment has recognized the 
near-term implications of the ISN and issued a class deviation 
for two Department of Defense programs on September 16, 2021. 
While the deviation was a positive step forward, the committee 
is concerned that the ISN has far greater implications and is 
already affecting other Department of Defense programs.
    The committee is also concerned that the U.K. position 
could be adopted by other foreign partners. Therefore, the 
committee urges the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition 
and Sustainment to evaluate the applicability of class 
deviation for all relevant Department of Defense programs and 
to redouble efforts to engage with foreign partners on a 
permanent solution to issues where equivalency between 
respective cybersecurity requirements are needed.
    The committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment, in coordination with the 
Department of Defense Chief Information Officer, to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than December 23, 2022, on any actions taken to address the 
ISN, including any relevant class deviations, and an update on 
related engagements with the U.K. Ministry of Defence and other 
foreign partners.

  Government Accountability Office Review of the Air Force's Link 16 
                      Cryptographic Modernization

    The committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to assess the Department of the Air Force's Link 16 
cryptographic modernization. The assessment shall review:
    (1) the status of the Air Force's Link 16 cryptographic 
modernization;
    (2) challenges associated with the Air Force's Link 16 
cryptographic modernization;
    (3) potential options to accelerate the Air Force's Link 16 
cryptographic modernization capacity and timeline;
    (4) what factors and decisions contributed to the current 
timeline for modernization;
    (5) how the Air Force's efforts compare to the other 
services and their Link 16 cryptographic modernization; and
    (6) any other matters the Comptroller General deems 
appropriate.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 31, 2023, on the Comptroller General's 
preliminary findings and present final results in a format and 
timeframe agreed to at the time of the briefing.

  Importance of Cybersecurity and Encryption to Department of Defense 
                             Mobile Devices

    The committee recognizes the value of encrypted mobile 
devices of Department of Defense personnel and cybersecurity 
risks associated with sideloading applications on mobile 
devices. Therefore, the Secretary of Defense, working with the 
Chief Information Officer of the Department of Defense, shall 
endeavor to promote the appropriate use of encryption for both 
Government-furnished and personally-owned devices of civilians 
and military personnel. The committee encourages the Department 
to also continue its work to minimize the risk from sideloading 
via data transfer and applications on mobile devices.

           Information Operations for Modern Warfare Strategy

    The committee recognizes the growing importance of 
effectively leveraging information operations. The committee is 
concerned that fractured and siloed information operations 
doctrine across the Department of Defense could obstruct the 
United States' ability to effectively deter competition, 
particularly below the threshold of armed conflict.
    The committee seeks to ensure efficient resourcing, 
funding, training, specialization, and utilization of scarce 
information operations resources. To that end, the committee 
requests additional information as to whether changes to 
doctrine governing information operations could clarify roles 
and responsibilities within the Department. The committee 
therefore directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation 
with the Principal Information Operations Advisor, to brief the 
House Committee on Armed Services not later than December 23, 
2022, regarding:
    (1) The feasibility and utility of adjustments to doctrine, 
roles, and responsibilities in the area of information 
operations;
    (2) The utility of recategorizing information operations 
into operations in the information environment, special 
information operations which enable the joint and interagency 
force to tackle operations that occur in the grey zone or 
competition between the threshold of armed conflict; and long 
term public diplomacy;
    (3) Such other potential doctrinal changes as the Secretary 
deems appropriate; and
    (4) The applicability of other organizational and doctrinal 
models, such as the Key West Agreement and the Intelligence 
Community.

       Infrastructure Modernization for the Department of Defense

    The committee remains concerned about the Department of 
Defense's ability to have adequate infrastructure that can meet 
current and future data demands. To succeed in modern warfare, 
the Department will require sufficient bandwidth and capacity, 
necessitating sustained investment for persistent 
modernization. To date, much of this work has occurred through 
the Army's Installation Information Infrastructure 
Modernization (I3MP) effort. The committee is encouraged that 
the Department is taking steps to enable new data architecture 
requirements into its facility criteria. The committee 
recognizes that the current unified facilities criteria (UFC) 
for design and construction of facilities does not inhibit 
utilization of new data architecture requirements into 
facilities. The committee encourages the Department and the 
military services to continue prioritizing its infrastructure 
modernization program and ensure whole-of-department efforts 
are synchronized to the maximum extent practicable. To this 
end, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by April 1, 
2023, detailing the Department of the Army's data 
infrastructure modernization efforts.

                      Internet of Things Security

    Cyber competition with Russia and China is heightening the 
sense of urgency with which the nation must reform our 
acquisition approach to maintain our military and technological 
superiority. The committee is concerned that near peer 
adversaries are challenging the U.S. across several cyber 
dimensions, including the threat to Internet of Things (IoT) 
and end point devices. The committee believes this new era of 
competition requires technological superiority to ensure the 
security of IoT devices from enhanced cyberattacks. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Chief Information Officer of the 
Department of Defense to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2023, on the 
Department's actions to address IoT security of end point 
devices.

      Management of Technology Matters within the Army Secretariat

    Since the creation of a Chief Information Officer within 
the Department of the Army as a civilian position, the Army has 
benefited from the enterprise-wide approach that the position 
enables. This has resulted in tangible productivity and cost 
benefits for the military services. Within less than 2 years, 
all three military departments have established and maintained 
Chief Information Officers as senior civilians reporting to the 
military departments' Secretaries. However, unlike its 
counterparts, the committee understands that the Army's Chief 
Information Officer maintains responsibility for only a portion 
of information technology, with a separate category of 
``Defense Business Systems'' and associated technologies 
managed by the Office of Business Transformation (OBT). This 
category includes programs such as the Integrated Pay and 
Personnel System-Army, Army Contract Writing System, and 
Accessions Information Environment. The committee notes that 
each of these programs is years behind schedule and grossly 
over budget. The committee remains concerned by the Army's 
approach that the technology underlying Defense Business 
Systems is distinct from the technology underlying the Army's 
enterprise systems.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than December 23, 2022, to address the current 
division in responsibilities between the Chief Information 
Officer and the Director, OBT. This briefing should include 
reflections of an evaluation of the Department of the Navy's 
construct in which all technology responsibilities are made the 
responsibility of the Department of the Navy Chief Information 
Officer.

 Report on Department of Defense Information Network Approved Products 
                              List Process

    The committee recognizes the importance of ensuring 
products and support used as part of the Department of Defense 
Information Network (DODIN) are secure, trusted, and approved. 
The committee understands that the Defense Information Systems 
Agency (DISA) has initiated an assessment of the Approved 
Products List (APL) process to ensure that current procedures 
align with new and evolving departmental priorities, while the 
Chief Information Officer is concurrently reviewing the DODIN 
APL waiver process.
    The committee directs the Department of Defense Chief 
Information Officer, in coordination with the Director of DISA, 
to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not 
later than March 1, 2023, on the results of both the DODIN APL 
process assessment and proposed changes to the waiver process 
as well as recommendations on how to utilize both processes to 
increase the security, reliability, and trust of the Department 
of Defense Information Network.

    Scalable Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning Solutions

    The Committee believes the Army should continue acquiring 
commercial data capabilities to provide granular, but 
customizable at scale, artificial intelligence and machine 
learning solutions to plug into Army software systems. These 
capabilities are critical to operating inside the adversary's 
decision loop, as has been successfully demonstrated in Eastern 
Europe, and enabling rapid adaptation of forces in dynamic 
environments. However, the Army must ensure that these 
capabilities can be operated at scale across multiple 
divisions, brigades, battalions, and below without significant 
additional requirements for data scientists and other 
specialized personnel.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army to brief 
the House Armed Services Committee not later than December 22, 
2022, on plans to integrate commercial artificial intelligence 
and machine learning solutions into deployed and next-
generation tactical network programs.

 Streamlining of Information Assurance and Cybersecurity Protocols in 
                     Defense Software Acquisitions

    Congress notes that existing Information Assurance and 
Cybersecurity processes within the Department of Defense 
acquisition process often cause delays in software acquisition 
programs.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Undersecretary for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a report that includes 
options to streamline the Information Assurance and Cyber 
Security approval processes for software acquisitions and 
submit such report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 1, 2023.

   Task Force 59 and Operationalizing Artificial Intelligence at Sea

    The committee recognizes and commends Task Force 59 (TF-
59), the Navy's first operational element dedicated to 
integration of and experimentation with artificial intelligence 
and unmanned technologies. Since its establishment in September 
2021, TF-59 has not only demonstrated a value to its parent 
command, the United States Navy's Fifth Fleet, but also to the 
Navy and the Department of Defense writ large. In a short 
period, TF-59 has been highlighted multiple times in 
congressional testimony and public statements by leaders across 
the Department of Defense, to include the Secretary of the 
Navy, the Chief of Naval Operations, and the Commander of U.S. 
Central Command.
    The committee believes that initiatives such as TF-59 are 
vital to ensuring that the military services are able to 
modernize and leverage critical technologies in potential 
future conflicts. The committee asserts that TF-59 should 
continue and expand its operations experimenting with new 
technologies, collaborating with international partners, and 
memorializing its efforts for use elsewhere in the Navy and the 
other military services. Moreover, the committee urges the 
Department of the Navy to fully resource TF-59, particularly 
when it is so frequently cited as a success by the Navy's 
leaders. Additionally, the Department of the Navy should 
explore opportunities to attach and embed technical personnel, 
to include Cyber Warfare Engineers, Information Professionals, 
and their enlisted counterparts, in order to build organic 
capability within TF-59.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Chief of Naval 
Operations to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than December 23, 2022, on TF-59. This 
briefing shall include details of TF-59's projected manning, 
fiscal year 2023 budget profile, estimates for funding over the 
Future Years Defense Program, and operational history. 
Additionally, the briefing shall detail how the structure and 
practices of TF-59 can be implemented at other regionally 
aligned fleets to the maximum extent practicable.

   TITLE XVI--SPACE ACTIVITIES, STRATEGIC PROGRAMS, AND INTELLIGENCE 
                                MATTERS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                            Space Activities


            Commercial Geostationary Satellite Loan Program

    The committee notes the continued need for low-latency, 
high-quality overhead imagery to support global combatant 
commander requirements for persistent coverage across areas of 
responsibility. The committee further notes various Federal 
loan programs that could be used to support industry, 
particularly small businesses, in developing and placing on-
orbit sensors in various orbits that could further improve 
overhead imagery capability and capacity. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Director of the National Geospatial-
Intelligence Agency (NGA), in consultation with the Department 
of the Treasury, to submit a report to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than December 31, 2022, on how 
available Federal loan programs could be used to support NGA in 
filling latency and quality gaps in current overhead imagery 
procured to support combatant commander requirements.

                Commercial Radio Frequency Capabilities

    The committee notes the continued development and fielding 
of commercial satellite radio frequency (RF) remote sensing 
capabilities within the U.S. innovation base, enabled by 
private capital investments. These new commercial, unclassified 
capabilities have the potential to support a variety of 
Department of Defense missions, from warfighting to 
understanding the impacts of climate change, while also 
relieving the burden on other limited assets and advancing the 
Department's multilateral and bilateral activities through 
greater information sharing with allies and partners.
    The committee is encouraged by some examples where RF 
remote sensing capabilities have supported combatant command 
missions and exercises, such as U.S. European Command. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Chairman of the Joint 
Chiefs of Staff, in coordination with each of the combatant 
commanders, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than December 1, 2022, on how U.S. 
commercial RF satellite capabilities are being leveraged in 
combatant command exercises, experimentation, and wargaming, 
and how these commercial capabilities should be integrated into 
the information systems and workflows utilized by the combatant 
commands to support relevant operational mission needs. The 
briefing should address the following elements:
    (1) outline how the combatant commands are planning to 
leverage U.S. commercial satellite RF products and data in 
exercises, experimentation, and wargaming through the end of 
fiscal year 2024, spanning joint, component, and multilateral/
bilateral levels;
    (2) how the demonstration of capability and mission utility 
translates to requirements for U.S. commercial RF products and 
data to support relevant operational mission needs;
    (3) how U.S. commercial satellite RF products and data 
should be integrated into the information systems and workflows 
used by the combatant commands, especially to collaborate with 
allies and partners, to ensure its timely and efficient 
operational use; and
    (4) what procurement and contracting mechanisms, if any, 
currently exist that the combatant commands, and Department of 
Defense more broadly, can use to procure commercial 
intelligence products in a data as a service construct, with 
the applicable contract vehicles.

                        Common Launch Integrator

    The committee commends the Department of the Air Force for 
its continued use of the National Security Space Launch (NSSL) 
program, which serves to promote robust competition and assured 
access to space across the Department of Defense space 
community. However, the committee remains concerned regarding 
overall efforts to drive down cost, reduce risk, and ensure 
launch reliability and performance, particularly as the U.S. 
Space Force, including efforts of the Space Development Agency 
(SDA), plans to increase the total number of projected launches 
over the Future Years Defense Program.
    The committee understands that the use of a common launch 
integrator (CLI), that works across Department customers, 
satellite manufacturers, and launch providers, can provide 
tested space vehicle interaction processes. The committee 
believes this approach could be an effective method to lower 
costs, reduce launch readiness timelines, and increase 
competition for launch providers.
    Therefore, the committee encourages the use of the existing 
U.S. Space Force Launch Manifest Systems Integrator contract to 
deliver the CLI capability across Space Force and SDA Tranche 1 
and 2 program where that capability can reduce cost and shorten 
satellite and launch vehicle integration. The committee further 
directs the Chief of Space Operations to provide a briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services not later than February 
1, 2023, on the benefits, including cost and schedule, of using 
one consistent launch integration solution across all types of 
space and launch vehicles, and all plans to utilize a CLI for 
current and future programs.

             Cooperation with Israel on Space Capabilities

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, with the 
consultation from the Secretary of State, to provide a report 
to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 
15, 2023 on potential areas for space cooperation with Israel. 
The report shall include the following:
    (1) a description of any science and technology effort or 
research, development, test, and evaluation effort associated 
with space capabilities;
    (2) a description of activities or efforts recommended for 
potential defense cooperation activities associated with space 
capabilities between the United States and Israel in support of 
development of military capabilities of mutual benefit that are 
in the best interest of U.S. national security; and
    (3) a description of any authority or authorization of 
appropriations required for the execution of efforts described 
in this report.

        Domestic Sourcing of Space System and Ground Components

    The committee notes the continuously expanding space 
industry, both for commercial, civil, and national security 
purposes. The committee further notes that procuring American-
made services, equipment, and products whenever and wherever 
possible to ensure a strong national industrial base should 
remain a focus of the Department of Defense, particularly with 
regard to space systems. The committee understands that the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment has 
suggested reforms to Department contracting and acquisition, 
particularly with regard to establishing the long-term space 
infrastructure needed to ensure U.S. dominance in space. The 
committee is aware that for certain components, due to cost, 
capacity, and capability factors, allied manufactured 
components, services, and systems are often procured over U.S. 
options.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment's Director for 
Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment, in coordination with 
the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Space Acquisition 
and Integration, to conduct an analysis of U.S. industry's 
ability to support the growing space industry requirements, 
including both capacity and capability, for current and planned 
Department of Defense National Security Space programs. The 
analysis should focus on two areas: satellite ground control 
services; and space-qualified solar cells, cell-interconnect-
coverglass (CIC) assemblies, solar panels, and solar arrays. 
The committee further directs the Director to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than January 15, 2023, on the results of this analysis.

     Integrated Satellite Communications Enterprise Strategy Update

    The committee notes the increasing importance of delivering 
resilient global satellite communications for the joint 
warfighter. The committee also remains aware of the encouraging 
opportunities presented by integrated commercial and military 
satellite communications architectures for delivering robust, 
flexible, and manageable enterprise solutions for the 
Department of Defense. To this end, the Department must 
continue to focus on the efficient acquisition of commercial 
satellite communications by applying sustainable and efficient 
practices for contracting with commercial providers and making 
appropriate and timely adjustments to react to new demand 
signals from the military departments.
    Therefore, the committee 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 March 23, 2023, on the Department's 
efforts to take advantage of commercial satellite 
communications. The report shall include at a minimum the 
following:
    (1) a description of how contracting with commercial 
providers for satellite communication capabilities will adjust 
to future demand signals with a comparison between the relative 
utility of alternative satellite communications acquisition 
methods;
    (2) a description of how contracts with commercial 
providers for satellite communication capabilities are designed 
to accommodate unforeseen demand signal increases; and
    (3) recommendations for how to improve planning for 
commercial satellite communication requirements across the 
military departments.

       Leveraging Commercial Services for Space Domain Awareness

    The committee is encouraged by the recent establishment of 
a Commercial Services Office by the U.S. Space Force. 
Leveraging the capabilities of a growing and robust commercial 
space industry in the United States will allow the Space Force 
to rapidly integrate new capabilities related to space 
situational and domain awareness, satellite imagery, satellite 
communications, and others. The Space Force's ability to track, 
characterize, and gather indications and warning on adversary 
space operations using legacy capabilities are at risk of 
becoming oversaturated by the rapid increase of satellites and 
foreign operations. The committee believes that commercial 
services can help address this risk and contribute to all U.S. 
Space Force Mission Areas.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Chief of Space 
Operations, in coordination with the Assistant Secretary of the 
Air Force for Space Acquisition and Integration, to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by January 
31, 2023, on how the Space Force plans to communicate current 
and emerging needs across all mission areas to commercial space 
service providers and how commercial services can contribute to 
fulfilling space domain awareness requirements. The briefing 
shall also include how the Commercial Services Office will be 
organized, funded, and leveraged to enhance the military 
services' outreach and communication with commercial space 
service providers.

     Maximizing the Potential of Department of Defense Systems via 
               Commercial On-Orbit Servicing Capabilities

    The committee understands the National Orbital Debris 
Research and Development Plan outlines priorities for federal 
research and development in topical areas across three core 
elements to manage the risks posed by orbital debris. The 
limitation of debris generation by design, the tracking and 
characterization of the debris object population, and the 
remediation or repurposing of orbital debris are vital to the 
sustained use of the space. The committee understands the 
United States Space Priorities Framework emphasizes that 
preserved use of space is a fundamental national interest. The 
committee is aware that the Office of Science and Technology 
Policy announced a request for comment in November of 2021 
seeking input on how this plan should be implemented, which 
activities should be prioritized for immediate action, and 
potential avenues for coordination between actors across public 
and private sectors.
    The committee understands the U.S. Space Force recently 
launched the first Space Prime effort, Orbital Prime, designed 
to invigorate the On-orbit Servicing, Assembly, and 
Manufacturing (OSAM) market using Active Debris Remediation 
(ADR) as a use case for the foundational technologies. The 
committee also understands that existing cost estimation and 
life cycle development planning structures for the Department 
of Defense space systems architectures do not appropriately 
incorporate recent advancements in commercial on-orbit 
servicing technology offerings to extend operational spacecraft 
mission lifetimes or enable timely post-mission disposal.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Secretary of the Air Force, to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than December 30, 2022, on plans to prioritize the servicing of 
existing in-orbit spacecraft to extend life, alleviate debris, 
add resiliency and capability with commercially available 
services, wherever possible. At a minimum, the briefing should 
include:
    (1) prioritization of the purchase of commercial services 
for existing and future major national security satellites to 
increase resilience;
    (2) specific information the military services and agencies 
must provide to justify why commercial OSAM services are 
insufficient to provide required mission capabilities when 
seeking funding for a replacement system;
    (3) process an agency undergoes when requesting a waiver 
from orbital debris mitigation standard practices, including 
extending spacecraft beyond planned mission time in orbit; and
    (4) how the Department of Defense is working with the 
National Telecommunications and Information Administration and 
the Federal Communications Commission to support access to 
spectrum allocations for commercial OSAM providers.

               Resiliency of Space Access Infrastructure

    The United States derives many national security benefits 
from its space assets. However, the committee notes that the 
country has only a limited number of launch sites capable of 
orbital launch activities in support of national security 
missions. These sites are vulnerable to varied threats 
including cyberattacks, conventional military or terrorist 
attack and severe weather events, among others. Therefore, the 
Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide to the 
congressional defense committees a report on the resiliency of 
space access infrastructure to meet national security 
requirements no later than December 31, 2022. The report 
should, at a minimum, address the following elements:
    (1) an assessment of the vulnerabilities and the overall 
resiliency of space access for national security missions;
    (2) an identification of the current and projected launch 
requirements for national security missions, including payload, 
orbit type, orbit longitude, and orbit inclination;
    (3) an assessment of operational risks to each U.S. 
spaceport individually as well as an aggregation of such risks;
    (4) a categorization of existing U.S. spaceports by 
capability to meet the launch requirements of all or any 
national security missions;
    (5) recommendations for prioritization of federal 
investment in spaceports to mitigate vulnerabilities to space 
access and to improve resiliency; and
    (6) any other information as determined by the Secretary.
    The report should be submitted in an unclassified form but 
may include a classified annex if necessary. The unclassified 
portion of the report shall be posted on a publicly available 
website of the Department of Defense. The Secretary may consult 
other federal agencies or existing interagency working groups 
as necessary to deliver this report in a timely manner.

               Resilient Missile Warning Missile Tracking

    The Committee continues to recognize the importance of 
space as a domain for defense against advanced ballistic and 
maneuvering hypersonic missiles. Through the Space Warfighting 
Analysis Center (SWAC), the Space Force recently conducted an 
analysis of its force design as advanced missile threats 
continue to increase, recommending a Government reference 
design that includes both low-Earth (LEO) and medium-Earth 
(MEO) layers.
    It is the view of this Committee that development of a 
robust hybrid architecture of LEO and MEO orbit satellites is 
of importance and will provide capabilities vital to protecting 
the warfighter and national security. In addition, given the 
current threat environment, speed to on-orbit deployment of 
affordable systems with proven utility is paramount.
    Current Space Force plans seek to fly an initial MEO epoch 
by 2026, three years after initial flight of the Space 
Development Agency's Tracking Layer Tranche 0, with at least 4 
spacecraft flying by 2028.
    The Committee is concerned that the current Resilient 
Missile Warning Missile Tracking (MW/MT)--MEO effort to 
demonstrate missile tracking capability from MEO will not be 
awarded through an open competition. This approach could 
exclude the benefit of existing technology that could be 
leveraged in the MEO layer in a more cost- and schedule-
effective manner.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Chief of Space 
Operations to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services no later than January 31, 2023 on their plan to 
include free, fair, and open competition within its acquisition 
plan for the Resilient MW/MT MEO demonstration epoch that is 
currently slated for initial space vehicle award in Fiscal Year 
2023. The Committee strongly believes this approach is not only 
in the best interest of the taxpayer, but could also help 
ensure the warfighter is able to obtain resilient missile 
tracking capability in timeframes that are operationally 
relevant to need.

                        Space Development Agency

    The committee notes that the conference report accompanying 
the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283) noted value of 
the establishment of a Space Development Agency (SDA) within 
the Department of Defense to address emerging threats, leverage 
new commercial architectures, and provide innovative solutions. 
The conference report also stated its expectation that SDA 
develop and preserve an independent culture of innovation and 
rapid acquisition that is separate and distinct from the more 
traditional space acquisition within the Space Force and the 
Air Force. As SDA transitions to the Space Force in Fiscal Year 
2023, the committee continues to value the mission and role of 
SDA to conduct rapid acquisition and prioritize resilience, 
innovation, and use of new commercial capabilities. The 
Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of Space Operations 
should ensure that SDA continues to foster its own culture and 
maintain the necessary authorities to support these priorities.
    The committee also notes that Section 1601 of the William 
M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2021 mandated that following SDA's transition to 
the U.S. Space Force, the program elements for SDA remain 
separate from those of the Space Force. The committee is 
concerned that the budget request for fiscal year 2023 does not 
fully comply with the statutory requirements in how the Fiscal 
Year 2022 budget request was submitted.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Director of the 
Space Development Agency, in consultation with the Secretary of 
the Air Force, the Chief of Space Operations Secretary and the 
Undersecretary of Defense (Comptroller), to provide a briefing 
to the House Armed Services Committee not later than December 
22, 2022, on how SDA program elements will be contained in 
future submissions, in accordance with Section 1601 of the 
FY2021 National Defense Authorization Act.

                    Synthetic Aperture Radar Imagery

    As the National Reconnaissance Office (NRO) continues to 
accelerate its strategy for acquiring commercial satellite 
imagery to address Department of Defense requirements by 
contracting with providers of additional phenomenologies beyond 
electro-optical, the committee encourages the Director of NRO 
to expand the current synthetic aperture radar (SAR) commercial 
acquisition program beyond its pilot program status. As the 
demand across the Department increases for geospatial 
intelligence (GEOINT), the committee further encourages the NRO 
to continue pursuing commercial SAR GEOINT, with open 
competition to be responsive to the requirements of the 
National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency and the combatant 
commands, functional commands, and other key elements of the 
Armed Forces.
    The committee recommends the NRO accelerate, to the extent 
possible, their adoption and integration of proven highly 
capable U.S. commercial SAR systems by working proactively with 
industry to apply domestic commercial solutions to known 
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance gaps of the 
Department of Defense, and providing on-ramps for new 
capabilities as they become available.
    Further, the committee directs the Director of the NRO to 
submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services and 
the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence by 
December 31, 2022, on its plans to acquire commercial SAR 
GEOINT, including any plans to transition current pilot 
programs to operational contracts, and how any standard 
acquisitions would be flexible to emerging requirements, new 
technology, and evolving capabilities.

    Transferring Space Assets and Personnel from Army to Space Force

    The committee recognizes the importance of consolidating 
the military's space functions into one, well-managed military 
service, in order to decrease redundant efforts and encourage 
efficiency in the space domain.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Chief of Space 
Operations, in consultation with the Secretary of the Army, 
provide to the House Committee on Armed Services a report on 
the transfer of space assets and personnel from the Army to the 
Space Force no later than January 31, 2023. The report should 
include what Army space assets and personnel heave already 
transferred to the Space Force, which ones will be transferred 
and when, and which ones will not. For those assets and 
personnel not identified for transfer include justification.

                    Use of Commercial Space Networks

    The committee is aware of and supports U.S. Space Force 
efforts to leverage interconnected commercial space networks 
for future military communications. The committee believes that 
aggressive economic and military actions taken by our strategic 
competitors in space are accelerating the urgency of shifting 
the U.S. military space architecture to be more resilient and 
disaggregated. Therefore, the committee believes the Space 
Force should continue to leverage commercial space networks to 
the maximum extent possible by working with industry to develop 
interoperability standards; promoting greater military use of 
commercial ground and cloud architectures; accelerating use of 
``new space'' (as well as traditional) commercial 
communications systems; adopting agile contracting mechanisms 
to match the speed of the ``new space'' industry; rapidly 
acquiring interoperable user equipment; and employing these 
systems in ongoing wargames and exercises. The committee 
directs the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Space 
Acquisition and Integration, in coordination with the Commander 
of Space Systems Command, to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than January 15, 2023, 
that includes an update on specific policy, plans, and steps 
the United States Space Force has taken and intends to take to 
shift its architecture in a manner that fully promotes and 
embraces the current and planned commercial space network.

                        Missile Defense Programs


Briefing on Opportunities to Collaborate with Allies on Air and Missile 
                                Defense

    The committee believes that with recent Russian actions in 
Ukraine, ongoing efforts by Iran and Iranian proxies to use 
cruise missiles to destabilize and undermine regimes, and 
growing Chinese capabilities, air defense for the United States 
and our allies is an increasing priority. This threat 
environment makes efforts to incorporate allied platforms, such 
as those with NATO and Israel, into future air defense 
architectures all the more important.
    The committee also believes that directed energy technology 
has matured to the point where it may be successfully deployed 
against current rocket, artillery, mortar, and cruise missile 
threats. The Committee encourages continued and increased 
cooperation between the Services and Missile Defense Agency and 
the Israeli Missile Defense Organization in the development and 
deployment of directed energy technology for missile defense.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Director of the 
Missile Defense Agency, in coordination with the Service 
Secretaries to conduct an assessment and provide a briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services not later than January 
30, 2023, on opportunities to further collaborate with allies 
with which the United States has existing air and missile 
defense relationships, including the Government of Israel, on 
pathways to collaborate on future air and missile defense 
architectures and to securely incorporate allies' systems and 
components into U.S. missile defense architectures.
    Further, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee of Armed Services not 
later than January 30, 2023, on an evaluation of the 
interoperability of the Iron Dome platforms procured by the 
Army and used in U.S. Army testing, including the acceptance 
test and a recent demonstration on Guam, and any plans for 
future deployment or use of the two Iron Dome systems procured 
by the Army.

                 Countering Missile Threats to Homeland

    The committee notes advances in various missile 
technologies by foreign states, to include advances in 
hypersonic weapons, increasing capability and capacity of long-
range precision fires, and continued testing of long-range 
missiles by rogue states. The committee continues to encourage 
the Department of Defense to analyze and assess the evolving 
security environment and threats posed by advancing missile and 
rocket capabilities of near-peer and rogue states.
    Further, the committee notes efforts across the Department 
of Defense to strengthen missile defense systems for the 
homeland, as well as improving regional missile defense 
capabilities. As such, the committee believes the Department of 
Defense must continue development of missile defense 
technologies, invest in the development of the Glide Phase 
Interceptor, and pursue advanced missile defense technologies 
such as directed energy. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Director of the Missile Defense Agency, in coordination with 
the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, Chief of Naval 
Operations, and Commander of U.S. Northern Command, to submit a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services by December 31, 
2022, on countering threats posed to the homeland by advanced 
missile capabilities of near-peer and rogue states. The report 
shall include analysis of:
    (1) current capabilities to defend the homeland against the 
range of current and known future ballistic missile threats 
from rogue countries;
    (2) how the current homeland ballistic missile defense 
architecture would need to be adjusted to defend against two or 
more nuclear-capable rogue nations, including estimated costs 
to implement any adjustments;
    (3) investments needed in sensor architectures to detect 
and track cruise and hypersonic missile threats to the 
homeland; and
    (4) how existing U.S. Ground-Based Interceptor sites, and 
the preferred location for a third continental United States 
interceptor site at Fort Drum, NY, could be leveraged for 
future advanced missile interceptor platforms and increased 
battlespace awareness for U.S. Northern Command against missile 
threats.

             Hypersonic and Cruise Missile Threat Detection

    The committee notes the potential of using commercial 
systems or non-developmental radar upgrades to detect and track 
low-flying short-, medium-, and long-range hypersonic weapons 
or cruise missile threats. The committee encourages the 
Secretary of Defense, through the Defense Innovation Unit or 
other service or agency component, to use existing other 
transaction authorities or Small Business Innovation Research 
program funds to evaluate the feasibility of a test program to 
test such systems and radars. Therefore, the committee directs 
the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than December 31, 2022, 
on whether:
    (1) available commercial or non-developmental software and 
hardware are capable of meeting requirements to detect and 
track short-, medium- and long-range hypersonic weapon systems;
    (2) available commercial or non-developmental software and 
hardware are capable of meeting threshold requirements of 
detecting and tracking hypersonic weapon systems as to create 
significant savings in radar upgrade programs or ongoing 
missile testing requirements; and
    (3) requirements for planned upgrades or investment to 
existing radar infrastructure could be restructured in such a 
way as to allow for maximum usage of commercial technology, as 
required by section 2377 of title 10, United States Code.

  Integration of Artificial Intelligence Technologies into Hypersonic 
                        Missile Defense Programs

    The committee recognizes the advancement of foreign 
hypersonic missile technology as an emerging global threat due 
to their high speeds and maneuverability, particularly while 
they are inside the atmosphere. The Department of Defense has 
developed limited capability to defend against these types of 
threats, and a prime example is the sea-based component of the 
missile defense system developed jointly by the Missile Defense 
Agency and Department of the Navy, referred to as the Aegis 
Ballistic Missile Defense System, employed on U.S. Navy 
Ticonderoga-class cruisers and Arleigh Burke-class destroyers. 
The committee notes that while these missile defense systems 
are highly capable, technological advancements in hypersonic 
missiles present challenges to their capability.
    The committee notes that parallel advancements in 
artificial intelligence technologies may help close this gap in 
hypersonic missile defense capability. In decreasing response 
time to hypersonic missile threats, artificial intelligence may 
be able to assist missile defense systems in detecting and 
engaging threats in their boost phase, midcourse, and terminal 
phases of flights.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Director of the 
Missile Defense Agency, in coordination with the Secretary of 
the Navy, to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by December 31, 2022, on current and future efforts to 
integrate artificial intelligence technologies into hypersonic 
missile defense systems. The report should include, at a 
minimum:
    (1) the gap in current sea-based missile defense capability 
to engage hypersonic threats,
    (2) how artificial intelligence can be applied to decrease 
response time in detecting hypersonic missiles in their boost 
phase, midcourse, and terminal phases of flights,
    (3) how artificial intelligence can be used in tracking and 
engaging hypersonic missiles, and
    (4) the investments in research and development needed to 
improve sea-based missile defense systems to defend against 
hypersonic threats.

                Lower Tier Air & Missile Defense Sensor

    The committee notes the well-established success of the 
Patriot International Engineering Services Program (IESP) as an 
effective framework for proliferating defensive capabilities 
among partner nations in a manner that also serves to defray 
procurement, sustainment and modernization costs to both the 
benefit of the United States and our allies. In existence since 
1992, 17 nations currently participate in the Patriot IESP 
program, with that number continuing to grow. The committee 
further notes that the Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense 
Sensor (LTAMDS) paired with the Integrated Air and Missile 
Defense Battle Command System (IBCS) will complement and 
eventually replace Patriot assets to defend against evolving 
air and missile threats world-wide, including sophisticated 
cruise and ballistic missiles, unmanned aerial systems (UAS), 
and high-speed, maneuvering hypersonics.
    Given Russia's invasion of Ukraine, the increased use of 
advanced ballistic missiles and UAS systems by Iranian proxies 
to attack civilian targets in the Middle East, and the ever-
present threat of conflict in the Indo-Pacific, the committee 
believes more must be done to accelerate the proliferation and 
deployment of LTAMDS and IBCS to our allies through Foreign 
Military Sales. However, the committee is also cognizant of the 
significant challenges posed by the non-recurring engineering 
costs associated with enabling such sales, particularly with 
regard to program protection capabilities and backfit 
compatibility which are not currently part of the program of 
record.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the congressional defense committees by 
December 31, 2022, on how the department plans to accelerate 
the proliferation and deployment of LTAMDS and IBCS to our 
allies through Foreign Military Sales.

                  Patriot Missile Defense Obsolescence

    The committee is encouraged by the Army's commitment to the 
Lower Tier Air and Missile Defense Sensor (LTAMDS) program as 
the premier radar of the service's next-generation integrated 
air and missile defense strategy. However, the committee is 
also cognizant of the need to continue investing in Patriot 
system and missile modernizations as it will take at least 7 
years for the Army to field its total requirement of the 
Integrated Air and Missile Defense Battle Command System 
(IBCS), and at least 11 years to fully field LTAMDS. Over the 
intervening period and beyond, the Army and 17 current partner 
nations participating in the Patriot International Engineering 
Services Program (IESP) will continue to operate a significant 
number of legacy Patriot system components. As observed in the 
U.S. European Command, U.S. Central Command, and U.S. Indo-
Pacific Command areas of responsibility, these components need 
to keep pace with the stresses associated with an unrelenting 
operations tempo (OPTEMPO). As such, it is critical that the 
Army prioritize the need to address pressing obsolescence 
challenges in order to ensure Patriot's ability to continue 
serving as a critical enabler to the Army's integrated air and 
missile defense strategy throughout the fielding of IBCS and 
LTAMDS.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than December 1, 2022, on pending obsolescence needs 
within the Patriot modernization program. The briefing shall 
contain the following elements:
    (1) a summary of all funded and unfunded obsolescence 
requirements through the Future Years Defense Program; and
    (2) an analysis of which unfunded obsolescence requirements 
are needed to mitigate risks associated with spares demands 
assuming notional air and missile defense OPTEMPO increases of 
(a) 10 percent, (b) 25 percent.

            Report on Homeland Missile Defense Capabilities

    The committee believes the ground-based midcourse defense 
system is using an aging fleet of ground-based interceptors. 
The threat posed by advancing nation states includes 
intercontinental ballistic missiles designed to deploy multiple 
warheads each and will soon outpace current defense 
capabilities. Furthermore, the committee believes the 
Department of Defense should replace the entire fleet of 
ground-based interceptors with next-generation interceptors to 
better protect the homeland against evolving threats and 
provide predictability for industry to respond and prepare the 
domestic industrial base to meet supply chain needs.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Director of the 
Missile Defense Agency, in consultation with the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, to provide a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
February 15, 2023 explaining the policy decision to either 
field an additional 20 ground-based interceptors or modernize 
20 existing ground-based interceptors. This report shall 
include the following:
    (1) An operational analysis on planned replacement of 
ground-based interceptors by the next generation interceptor, 
including inventory, test assets, and fielding requirements; 
and
    (2) An assessment of the process to developing the 
designated third missile defense interceptor site in the 
continental United States, and subsequent plans to field next 
generation interceptors at that site in addition to two 
existing sites.

    Report on the Nuclear and Missile Programs of Iran and the DPRK

    The committee recognizes that the Iranian and North Korean 
nuclear and missile programs pose a significant national 
security threat to the homeland, as well as national security 
interests in the Indo-Pacific and the Middle East.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Director of National Intelligence, to 
deliver to the House Committee on Armed Services an 
unclassified report on the current and projected state of the 
North Korean and Iranian nuclear and missile programs not later 
than February 1, 2023. The report should provide information on 
the developments and status of each state's nuclear and missile 
programs, an evaluation of the current and future nuclear 
threats posed by each, and the status of their respective 
nuclear doctrines. The report should also explore North Korean 
and Iranian cooperation in these fields and identify foreign 
assistance to these programs.

         Reusable Hypersonic Missile Defense Testing Capability

    The committee is encouraged by Missile Defense Agency's 
(MDA's) efforts to develop hypersonic defense architectures and 
solutions to include the Aegis Ballistic Missile Defense 
Standard Missile (SM) SM-6 Program and Glide Phase Interceptor. 
As MDA matures architecture and other technology solutions, the 
ability to test technologies in a real-world flight test 
environment is critical to successful design, development, and 
deployment of the system.
    An affordable and reusable hypersonic test bed allows for 
early and persistent operationally realistic flight testing to 
support technology roadmaps, inform requirements development 
for required future systems and capabilities, and support early 
technical demonstration and experiments critical to accelerate 
capability deliveries to combatant commanders. As required, the 
test bed could provide representative targets for hypersonic 
defense kinetic/non-kinetic solutions developed by MDA.
    The committee recognizes the limited existing Department of 
Defense test facilities, ranges, and resources capable of 
supporting operationally realistic flight testing. The 
committee also recognizes the existence of available commercial 
hypersonic testbeds and believes they should be leveraged to 
increase operational test and evaluation activities. Therefore, 
the committee encourages MDA to incorporate commercially 
available and reusable hypersonic flight test systems into 
development of hypersonic defense architectures and solutions.

                             Nuclear Forces


      Comptroller General Review of Nuclear Command, Control, and 
                    Communications Enterprise Center

    The committee is aware that the Department of Defense 
created a new nuclear command, control, and communications 
(NC3) governance structure, establishing the NC3 Enterprise 
Center and making the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command the 
operational commander of the NC3 enterprise with responsibility 
for NC3 operations, requirements, and systems. The committee 
understands that this action was intended to centralize the 
previously diffused governance authority and responsibility for 
the NC3 enterprise. The committee also understands that the 
Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
Sustainment was designated as the NC3 enterprise capability 
portfolio manager and given increased responsibilities for 
resources and acquisition to support the Commander of U.S. 
Strategic Command in this new role.
    Given the importance of the NC3 mission, the committee 
believes it appropriate to review the effectiveness of the NC3 
Enterprise Center in fulfilling its governance and oversight 
mission requirements and responsibilities. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Comptroller General of the United States 
to assess the function and effectiveness of the NC3 Enterprise 
Center in the governance and oversight of the NC3 enterprise 
and its operations, including its ability to ensure NC3 
enterprise readiness, its ability to assess future NC3 
operational requirements, and other issues the Comptroller 
General deems appropriate.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
April 1, 2023, on the Comptroller General's findings and, as 
deemed appropriate, provide a report by a date agreed to at the 
time of the briefing.

                Electromagnetic Pulse Protection Efforts

    The committee recognizes the efforts of United States 
Strategic Command to address the risks posed by electromagnetic 
pulse (EMP) attack. An EMP is an exceptionally strong radio 
signal that would induce voltage and spikes in the unprotected 
wiring of vehicles, aircraft, and more to disrupt and destroy 
electronics, along with unprotected civilian infrastructure. 
Were a nuclear weapon to be detonated at the edge of the 
atmosphere, it would potentially cause an EMP to effect areas 
as large as 1,200 miles in diameter, with broad ramifications 
for wide reaching damage across the United States.
    To minimize the impact of an EMP attack or deter its use by 
adversaries of the United States, the committee recognizes the 
importance of supporting surge suppression solutions for key 
Department of Defense platforms.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than March 23, 2023, on efforts to address the risk 
posed by EMP attacks. The briefing shall address issues 
including but not limited to:
    (1) an explanation of the efforts of the Department of 
Defense to field surge suppression solutions or devices on key 
platforms and weapons systems; and
    (2) an update on how the Department of Defense is defining 
requirements for EMP protection and prioritizing implementation 
of solutions.

                 Nuclear Command and Control Processes

    The committee is concerned by the possibility, however 
small, of the accidental or inappropriate use of nuclear 
weapons by the United States, which would risk catastrophic 
loss of life and potential escalation into a large-scale 
nuclear war.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing at the appropriate classification level 
to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than January 
31, 2023, on U.S. nuclear launch processes and procedures, 
including the checks and balances that exist to prevent the 
accidental or inappropriate use of nuclear weapons.

           Plan for the Survivable Airborne Operations Center

    The committee notes that the aging E-4B National Airborne 
Operations Center (NAOC) fleet requires recapitalization and 
modernized systems to ensure it maintains sufficient aircraft 
availability and communications reliability to perform nuclear 
command, control, and communications (NC3) missions for the 
duration of its service life. The committee further recognizes 
that going forward, a new airframe, the Survivable Airborne 
Operations Center (SAOC), is required to ensure a robust, 
survivable mobile communications layer for NC3. The committee 
is concerned over both the availability and capability of the 
current E-4B fleet and the slow progress in the development of 
the SAOC.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than April 1, 2023, on its plan to sustain 
the NAOC and field the SAOC.

        Readiness and Sustainment of the Sentinel Missile Fleet

    The committee notes that it is critical for the Air Force 
to leverage technology to identify lifecycle needs and address 
readiness challenges for its strategic weapon systems. The Air 
Force benefits from utilizing modeling, simulation, and other 
analytic capabilities to understand and optimize the readiness 
of its platforms and weapon systems and to reduce development, 
maintenance, and sustainment costs. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services not later than August 1, 
2023, on the current and planned use of predictive analytic 
capabilities to optimize sustainment and readiness of the 
Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile. This briefing 
shall include:
    (1) how predictive analytics will be used for sustainment 
and maintaining readiness of the Sentinel fleet;
    (2) any projected improvements in readiness or cost savings 
associated with such efforts; and
    (3) any potential issues or challenges that the Air Force 
anticipates in implementing predictive analytics for the 
Sentinel fleet.

              Report on Long-Term Deterrence Requirements

    The committee notes the critical role that U.S. nuclear 
forces play in deterring strategic attack on the United States 
and its allies and partners. The committee is concerned about 
the expansion and modernization of the nuclear arsenals of 
Russia, China, and North Korea and the implications for the 
ability of the Department of Defense to meet national nuclear 
weapons objectives.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 
and the Commander of U.S. Strategic Command, to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than February 1, 2023, on the projected future requirements for 
U.S. nuclear forces.
    The briefing shall address issues including but not limited 
to:
    (1) an assessment of the projected deployed nuclear forces 
of U.S. adversaries through 2035;
    (2) an explanation of the current and future requirement 
for the number and type of nuclear forces required to meet 
national deterrence and employment objectives, including the 
methodology that underpins such force sizing analysis; and
    (3) an assessment of options to maintain sufficient forces 
to meet national deterrence and employment objectives in the 
near- and long-term, including potential adjustments to 
strategy, policy, posture, and capabilities.

                    Strategic Arms Control Strategy

    The committee notes that the fact sheet for the Department 
of Defense's 2022 Nuclear Posture Review emphasizes the 
importance of ``reestablishing our leadership in arms 
control.'' The fact sheet goes on to say, ``We will continue to 
emphasize strategic stability, seek to avoid costly arms races, 
and facilitate risk reduction and arms control arrangements 
where possible.'' Despite this commitment, the committee 
understands that there has been little progress in advancing 
strategic stability dialogue or arms control with either Russia 
or China, in large part because of Russia's unprovoked and 
illegal aggression against Ukraine.
    The committee continues to recognize the importance of arms 
control, not as an end in itself, but as a way of contributing 
to United States national security by managing competition and 
restraining the development of competitors' capabilities. 
However, the committee lacks the necessary understanding of the 
arms control strategy of the Department of Defense, in 
particular how the Department plans to advance strategic arms 
control after New START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty) 
expires in 2026.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Secretary of State and the 
Administrator of the National Nuclear Security Administration, 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than January 31, 2023, on its strategy for strategic 
arms control. The briefing shall include:
    (1) a description of United States strategic arms control 
objectives with Russia and China;
    (2) the implications for the Department of Defense if there 
is not an arms control agreement with Russia in place when New 
START expires;
    (3) the administration's planned approach for enhancing 
strategic stability and arms control with Russia and China; and
    (4) how new and emerging technologies for monitoring and 
verification might contribute to a future arms control 
agreement and what specific investments are needed.

   Theater and Low-Yield Nuclear Capabilities Possessed by China and 
                                 Russia

    The committee recognizes that the nation's nuclear forces 
underpin integrated deterrence and enable the United States and 
its allies to confront aggressive and coercive behavior. The 
committee further recognizes the value in enhancing Congress's 
understanding of the nuclear capabilities possessed by China 
and Russia, particularly as it pertains to theater and low-
yield nuclear capabilities.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Director of the 
Defense Intelligence Agency, in consultation with the 
Commander, U.S. Strategic Command, to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services not later than December 23, 
2022, on the theater and low-yield nuclear capabilities, 
including the weapon systems used in the delivery of these 
capabilities, that are presently and expected to be 
operationally deployed by the Russian Federation and the 
People's Republic of China.

                          Intelligence Matters


          Army Operations-Intelligence Convergence Capability

    The committee recognizes that the Army's ability to merge 
operational and real-time intelligence data will be critical to 
achieving success in future multi-domain operations. The 
committee also recognizes that successful development of this 
capability will enable our commanders to rapidly plan and 
adjust operations in the dynamic warfighting environments of 
the future. The committee understands that the Army has 
experimented with operations-intelligence convergence 
capabilities since 2012. However, the committee is concerned 
that the Army has only achieved a limited fielding of this 
transformational capability across a small number of exercises 
to date. Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary 
of Defense for Intelligence and Security, in coordination with 
the Commanding General of U.S. Army Intelligence and Security 
Command, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by January 31, 2023, on the strategy to develop, test, 
and field operations-intelligence convergence capabilities to 
the Army.

 Artificial Intelligence Powered Tactical Intelligence, Surveillance, 
                           and Reconnaissance

    The committee understands the importance of tactical 
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) edge 
capabilities for U.S. Marines who often navigate in contested 
environments. Further, the committee recognizes that the Marine 
Corps has made investments to field an edge-capable, 
artificial-intelligence powered tactical ISR solution. However, 
the committee would like to better understand the status of 
development and fielding of software with sufficient capability 
to produce two- and three-dimensional battlespace maps that are 
operable without a cloud connection. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Commandant of the Marine Corps to submit a plan to 
the House Committee on Armed Services by December 31, 2022, for 
transition of related efforts at the Marine Corps Warfighting 
Lab, on the status of software development to be interoperable 
with Group 1-5 unmanned aerial systems and with existing 
imaging payloads, to include deployability and operability on 
mobile devices already in the end-user inventory.

  Combatant Command Intelligence and Counterintelligence Requirements

    The committee is concerned that the Department of Defense 
has not provided the annual briefing on intelligence and 
counterintelligence requirements of each of the relevant 
combatant commands or the annual briefing on strategies to 
address the validated intelligence and counterintelligence 
requirements of the combatant commands, including with respect 
to spaceborne, airborne, ground, maritime, and cyber 
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities, as 
required by section 426 of title 10, United States Code. 
Without understanding the fulfilment rate for the combatant 
command's validated intelligence and counterintelligence 
requirements, a risk analysis identifying critical gaps and 
shortfalls, and a mitigation plan to balance and offset the 
gaps and shortfalls, the committee is left with an incomplete 
picture of the intelligence requirements and capabilities. The 
committee urges the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to 
provide the required annual briefing on the intelligence and 
counterintelligence requirements of the combatant commands, and 
the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security to 
provide the required annual briefing on strategies to address 
the validated intelligence and counterintelligence requirements 
of the relevant combatant commands at the same time that the 
President's budget is submitted pursuant to section 1105(a) of 
title 31, United States Code, for each of fiscal years 2021 
through 2025.

   Developing Additional Resources for Super Hard and Deeply Buried 
                               Facilities

    The committee recognizes the national security imperative 
of the United States armed forces and intelligence agencies 
having the means to identify, locate, assess, and characterize 
Super Hard and Deeply Buried Facilities (SHDBFs) and related 
support infrastructure. However, current government facilities 
are insufficient in providing the proper training resources 
related to SHDBFs. Contractor Owned and Contractor Operated 
(COCO) facilities exist throughout the United States and could 
be leveraged in areas of research such as remote sensing; 
electromagnetic pulse hardening and resilience; and basic 
research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E). The 
committee encourages the Department of Defense to seek out 
additional capabilities and opportunities afforded by COCO 
facilities for the testing and development of tools and 
techniques to support remote analysis, detection, assessment 
and characterization of SHDBF; advanced telecommunications; 
emerging threats and abilities to counter them; and other areas 
of RDT&E that may be amenable and appropriate for the 
utilization of such unique facilities. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the 
House Committee on Armed Services no later than March 31, 2023, 
on efforts of the Department to utilize new facilities to 
provide additional testing and development resources for SHDBF 
intelligence-gathering and military operations exercise 
systems. The report shall include at a minimum, an 
identification of COCO SHDBFs within the United States and an 
as assessment of how each such facility could be utilized by 
the Department.

                       Digital Persona Protection

    The committee is aware of increasing threats from social 
media impersonations, fraud, spoofing, phishing, and even 
account takeovers. The committee recognizes that the Department 
of Defense has taken steps to counter these activities and 
encourages the Department to ensure that these efforts include 
a comprehensive strategy to protect service members and 
civilian employees. Therefore, the committee directs the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security to submit a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services by December 31, 
2022, on efforts across the Defense Intelligence Enterprise to 
protect the digital personas of Department of Defense military 
and civilian personnel.

        Directives Relating to Intelligence Sharing with Ukraine

    The committee believes intelligence sharing, particularly 
intelligence that is operational in nature and readily 
actionable, with Ukraine is an essential component of efforts 
to support Ukraine's ability to defend itself against Russian 
aggression and views the conditions of intelligence sharing as 
a topic of ongoing policy concern. Therefore, not later than 
November 1, 2022, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination 
with the Director of National Intelligence, shall submit to the 
House Committee on Armed Services each directive and memorandum 
of the Federal Government issued on or after January 1, 2022, 
that governs or establishes rules and procedures for sharing 
intelligence of the Department of Defense with Ukraine.

            Disaggregated Signals Intelligence Sensing Grid

    The committee notes the Department of the Air Force's 2021 
report to Congress on modernizing airborne intelligence, 
surveillance, and reconnaissance, and affirms the Air Force 
strategy to deliver platforms and sensors that are 
operationally effective, resilient and survivable against 
advanced threats. The committee understands SIGINT to be a 
critical element of the future Advanced Battle Management 
System sensing grid, and observes the need to integrate 
existing and future airborne SIGINT systems like the RC-135 
with terrestrial and space-based capabilities. The committee 
believes that effective cross-domain SIGINT integration will be 
necessary to ensure the Air Force can support joint 
warfighting, information, and electromagnetic spectrum 
superiority requirements under the Department of Defense's 
Joint All Domain Command and Control strategy.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to submit a report to congressional defense committees by 
February 1, 2024 on development of a holistic disaggregated 
SIGINT sensing grid. This report shall address:
    (1) How the Department intends to design, develop and 
deploy a disaggregated SIGINT enterprise integrating manned and 
unmanned airborne, terrestrial and space-based capabilities 
supporting Combatant Command tactical and operational 
requirements using SIGINT-derived information;
    (2) How the Department intends to leverage existing 
investments in airborne SIGINT programs such as the RC-135 to 
combine advanced, persistent-look edge signals collection, data 
processing technologies, and robust electromagnetic warfare 
support with tactical datalinks and beyond-line-of-sight 
communications capabilities;
    (3) How the Department intends to leverage existing and 
improved space-based capabilities to support Combatant Command 
tactical and operational requirements using SIGINT derived 
information;
    (4) How the Department intends to plan, program, and 
develop the communications layer to connect the air, 
terrestrial and space-based component parts of the 
disaggregated SIGINT sensing grid;
    (5) How the Department will ensure integrated SIGINT 
sensing and information sharing with international security 
partners including the Five-Eyes, NATO and other major non-NATO 
allies.

   Establishment of Unidentified Aerospace-Undersea Phenomena Joint 
                             Program Office

    The committee recognizes that in recent years, the 
Department has expanded available resources to investigate 
potential threats involving Unidentified Aerial Phenomena 
(UAP). In 2020, the Department established the Unidentified 
Aerial Phenomena Task Force to improve its understanding of, 
and gain insight into the nature and origins of UAPs. Then in 
2021, the Department established the Airborne Object 
Identification and Management Synchronization Group (AOIMSG) as 
a successor organization to the UAP Task Force. While AOIMSG 
was designed to better synchronize efforts across the U.S. 
Government to detect, identify, and attribute potential UAP-
related threats, especially related to Special Use Airspace, 
the committee is concerned with the continued lack of 
coordination across the interagency on UAP issues, especially 
between the Department and the intelligence community. The 
committee believes a that a Joint Program Office may be a more 
effective construct to facilitate interagency cooperation. 
Consequently, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
a submit a report to the House Armed Services Committee not 
later than March 1, 2023, that describes whether a Joint 
Program Office would be able to more effectively:
    (1) Carry out the duties of the Unidentified Aerial 
Phenomena Task Force, including those pertaining to transmedium 
objectives or devices and unidentified aerospace undersea 
phenomena; space, atmospheric, and water domains; and currently 
unknown technology and other domains;
    (2) Develop procedures to synchronize and standardize the 
collection, reporting, and analysis of incidents, including 
adverse physiological effects, regarding unidentified 
aerospace-undersea phenomena across the Department of Defense 
and the intelligence community, in consultation with the 
Director of National Intelligence;
    (3) Develop processes and procedures to ensure that such 
incidents from each component of the Department and each 
element of the intelligence community are reported and 
incorporated in a centralized repository;
    (4) Establish procedures to require the timely and 
consistent reporting of unidentified aerospace-undersea 
phenomena;
    (5) Evaluate links between unidentified aerospace-undersea 
phenomena and adversarial foreign governments, other foreign 
governments, or nonstate actors;
    (6) Evaluate the threat that such incidents present to the 
United States;
    (7) Coordinate with other departments and agencies of the 
Federal Government, as appropriate, including the Federal 
Aviation Administration, the National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration, the Department of Homeland Security, the 
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the National 
Science Foundation, and the Department of Energy;
    (8) Coordinate with allies and partners of the United 
States, as appropriate, to better assess the nature and extent 
of unidentified aerospace-undersea phenomena;
    (9) Prepare reports for Congress, in both classified and 
unclassified form; and
    (10) Ensure that appropriate elements of the intelligence 
community receive all reports received by the Office regarding 
a temporary nonattributed object or an object that is 
positively identified as manmade, including by creating a 
procedure to ensure that the Office refers such reports to an 
appropriate element of the intelligence community for 
distribution among other relevant elements of the intelligence 
community, in addition to the reports in the repository 
described in (3).

             Geospatial Support for Atrocity Accountability

    The committee recognizes the benefit geospatial 
intelligence has played in discovering war crimes, atrocities, 
and the recovery of missing persons from previous conflicts. 
The committee notes the tragic suffering endured by the 
Ukrainian civilian populace as a result of Russia's invasion. 
The committee recognizes that geospatial intelligence and data 
can be leveraged to expose ongoing Russian atrocities in 
Ukraine, and other atrocities perpetrated by non-state actors 
and terrorist organizations. The committee therefore encourages 
the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security to 
share existing, available intelligence, including archived 
unclassified and commercial geospatial intelligence, with 
relevant interagency partners to support their efforts to 
prevent atrocities, genocide, and hold perpetrators of such 
crimes accountable. The committee directs the Under Secretary 
of Defense for Intelligence and Security to provide a briefing 
to the House Committee on Armed Services by March 31, 2023, on 
its ability to share such intelligence with interagency 
partners.

                Leveraging Commercial Crowd-Sourced Data

    The committee recognizes the important role data plays in 
the day-to-day mission execution at the Department of Defense 
to enable shared situational awareness and inform decision-
making at all levels. Further, the committee recognizes the 
efficiencies gained by the Defense Intelligence Enterprise 
through efforts to leverage domestic commercially available 
crowd-sourced data services to augment traditional sources of 
intelligence. The committee recognizes the value that these 
commercial capabilities provide to rapidly collect data across 
the globe and provide actionable insights into breaking 
military developments. The committee encourages the Defense 
Intelligence Enterprise to continue to acquire and use open 
source, commercially available data, to include crowd-sourced 
data, to augment traditional sources of intelligence and enable 
warfighters to more thoroughly and quickly understand complex 
national security challenges. Therefore, the committee directs 
the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, 
in coordination with the Director of the Defense Intelligence 
Agency, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by December 31, 2022, on the use of commercially 
available crowd-sourced data services to augment traditional 
sources of intelligence. The briefing shall also include the 
procedures in place to ensure protection of the privacy and 
civil liberties of U.S. persons and limit access to and use of 
commercial data to geolocations outside the United States.

            National Counterintelligence Task Force Briefing

    The committee recognizes the challenges presented in 
protecting the country's critical assets, especially advanced 
technologies and sensitive information in the defense, 
intelligence, and related science and technology research. The 
committee is aware of increased threats from adversaries 
attempting to steal or compromise these assets. The committee 
recognizes the steps taken to counter these activities through 
the counterintelligence and security activities of the Office 
of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and 
Security, the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency, 
and the military services. The committee also recognizes the 
efforts underway by the National Counterintelligence Task Force 
to address the threats. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security to 
facilitate a briefing from the National Counterintelligence 
Task Force to the House Committee on Armed Services by January 
31, 2023, on counterintelligence threats to classified research 
and efforts to address vulnerabilities and enhance operational 
security against foreign espionage at critical research 
locations and among contracted researchers or other individuals 
conducting classified research supported by U.S. Federal 
funding.

                  Open Source Intelligence Management

    The committee recognizes the growth in the role of open 
source intelligence (OSINT) within the defense intelligence 
enterprise. The committee supports the designation of the 
Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) as the functional manager of 
OSINT. However, the committee remains concerned about the 
synchronization of OSINT across the service intelligence 
components as well as others within the defense intelligence 
enterprise. Therefore, the committee directs the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, in 
coordination with the Director of the Defense Intelligence 
Agency, to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by December 31, 2022, on OSINT management. The report 
shall include a description of the roles and responsibilities 
of the DIA as functional manager for OSINT across the 
Department of Defense; a breakdown of Department of Defense 
OSINT components; a description of the tiers of activity for 
each OSINT component within the defense intelligence enterprise 
and how that information meets intelligence requirements; and 
the extent of commercial contracts supporting the OSINT mission 
by component and with identification of any overlap or 
duplication of efforts.

           People's Republic of China Strategic Support Force

    The committee continues to support Department of Defense 
efforts to assess the military modernization and security 
doctrine of the People's Republic of China (PRC). The annual 
China Military Power Report is a valuable tool for the 
committee in developing policies that respond to this pacing 
challenge.
    Established in 2015, China's Strategic Support Force (SSF) 
is responsible for integrating People's Liberation Army (PLA) 
military space, cyber, and electronic warfare capabilities. It 
is organized into two departments, the Space Systems Department 
and the Network Systems Department, responsible for information 
operations, including cyber, electronic warfare, psychological 
warfare and technical reconnaissance.
    The committee is concerned that recent Department of 
Defense China Military Power Reports have included only brief 
analysis of the Network Systems Department. Understanding the 
full range of SSF efforts will provide essential insights into 
how the PLC will use its advanced capabilities across these 
domains in the event of conflict. The committee encourages the 
Secretary of Defense to ensure the future versions of the China 
Military Power Report, as required by section 1202 National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2000 (Public Law 106-
65) includes a more robust analysis of developments in both the 
SSF Space Systems Department and the Network Systems 
Department.

      Report on Chinese and Russian Hypersonic Test Infrastructure

    The committee remains concerned by the pace of China and 
Russia's development of hypersonic systems and their success in 
fielding early iterations of this technology. The committee 
further recognizes that the ability of our adversaries to 
continue maturing these technologies is dependent on 
maintaining test and evaluation capabilities required to field 
such systems.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Director of the 
Defense Intelligence Agency to provide a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than February 1, 2023, on 
the capability and capacity of the ground and flight test 
infrastructure of Russia and China used in the testing of 
hypersonic systems.

            Report on Commercial Geospatial Data Integration

    As the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA) 
accelerates its strategy for acquiring commercial geospatial 
imagery to address Department of Defense requirements, the 
committee is encouraged with progress made to develop Global 
Enhanced Geospatial Intelligence Delivery (G-EGD) into a 
platform that offers seamless access to diverse data sources 
for the U.S. Government and allied forces. The committee 
recognizes that the G-EGD program delivers mission essential, 
time-sensitive information on the tactical edge and across the 
U.S. Government. The committee recognizes G-EGD meets the need 
for timely geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) in contested 
environments, and given the advancements in 3D technology the 
committee recognizes the need to continually enhance the 
capability to ensure the best available technology is 
accessible by end users. Additionally, the committee recognizes 
the need to access and exploit this data on all domains to 
maximize additional commercial GEOINT sources and analytic 
capabilities to be integrated into the G-EGD service. The 
committee expects NGA to continue to innovate, adopt, and 
integrate U.S. commercial geospatial imagery by working 
proactively with industry to apply domestic commercial 
solutions to known geospatial imagery gaps. The committee 
directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and 
Security, in coordination with the Director of the NGA, to 
submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
December 31, 2022, on data integration at the NGA for 
commercial imagery, including the status within existing NGA 
platforms to complete integration for end user access to 
commercial domestic satellite imagery capabilities, additional 
commercial GEOINT sources and analytic capabilities to be 
integrated into the G-EGD service, and data standards required 
to effectively and efficiently integrate G-EGD with a broader 
ecosystem of mission command systems.

        Report on the Analysis of Information from the Dark Web

    The committee is concerned about the ability of U.S. 
adversaries to communicate freely on the Dark Web and the 
ability of the Department of Defense to effectively monitor and 
analyze those communications for threat assessment purposes. 
The Committee believes more engagement is required to 
effectively utilize this open-source information to properly 
monitor activities and provide current, actionable 
intelligence.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a report to the Congressional Defense Committees no 
later than October 1, 2022, on the actions being taken by the 
Department of Defense to intercept and analyze, in real time, 
information from the Dark Web for the purposes of open-source 
intelligence gathering. The report shall include, at a minimum, 
the following:
    (1) An evaluation of Department of Defense's current 
collection efforts and exploitation of information found in the 
Dark Web;
    (2) Plans to develop tactics, techniques, and procedures to 
properly analyze Dark Web information for use in open-source 
intelligence reports;
    (3) Department of Defense's use of existing commercial 
capabilities currently available to collect and analyze Dark 
Web data in real time;
    (4) An analysis of the challenges facing the Department of 
Defense in terms of developing and implementing strategies to 
effectively use Dark Web information, including funding 
limitations and required policy changes, or barriers in 
utilizing commercially available technology for collection; and
    (5) Any other relevant matters the Secretary of Defense 
deems appropriate.

        Transition of Algorithmic Warfare Cross-Functional Team

    The committee commends the Department of Defense's decision 
to transfer the preponderance of the Algorithmic Warfare Cross-
Functional Team, or Project Maven, from the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence and Security to the National 
Geospatial-Intelligence Agency (NGA). The committee is 
concerned, however, that NGA is not adequately prepared to 
execute this transfer as scheduled. The committee is aware of a 
range of challenges, including lack of appropriate physical 
space and personnel shortages. Therefore, the committee directs 
the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, 
in coordination with the Director of the NGA, to submit a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services by February 1, 
2023, on the transition of Project Maven, including a plan to 
secure physical space appropriate for the activities, a 
staffing plan, the projected timeline for completion, and 
funding requirements to transition and sustain the program and 
projected projects.

                             Other Matters


         Biological Defense: Vaccines and Advanced Therapeutics

    The budget request included $291.3 million in Research, 
Development, Testing and Evaluation, Defense-Wide, Advanced 
Component Development and Prototypes for the Chemical and 
Biological Defense Program. The committee is encouraged by the 
Department of Defense's ongoing Biological Threat Posture 
Review and appreciates the Department's efforts on this vital 
mission. At the same time, the committee remains concerned 
about the Department's ability to respond to novel pathogens 
and other biological threats with effective vaccines as quickly 
as possible. The committee encourages the Department to assess 
the existing inventory of vaccine candidates from both 
government and private research and development entities to 
determine if existing candidates are relevant to potential 
novel threats, and develop expedited pathways for full 
development of a viable vaccine. Therefore, the committee 
recommends $306.3 million, an increase of $15.0 million, in 
Research, Development, Testing and Evaluation, Defense-Wide, 
Advanced Component Development and Prototypes for the Chemical 
and Biological Defense Program.

             Increasing Defenses Against Biological Threats

    The committee supports the ongoing Biodefense Posture 
Review directed by the Secretary of Defense in the fall of 
2021. The committee expects the review to support the new 
National Defense Strategy and be informed by the 
Administration's updated National Biodefense Strategy. Russia's 
unprovoked invasion of Ukraine and unprecedented levels of 
propaganda targeting the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, and 
specifically the Biological Threat Reduction program in 
Ukraine, highlight the potential for adversaries to develop and 
deploy a variety of non-conventional weapons.
    The committee recognizes that biological threats of all 
origins are on the rise. The committee believes the Department 
should prioritize efforts to develop pathogen agnostic 
detection capabilities that are operational at the point of 
need that detect novel pathogens emerging from any source; 
technology to suppress the transmission of pathogens; personal 
protective equipment that is comfortable, offers maximum 
protection, and is wearable over long periods; and at least one 
vaccine candidate for each of the 26 viral families that infect 
humans.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an additional $75.0 
million to the Research, Development, Testing and Evaluation, 
Defense-Wide for the Chemical and Biological Defense Program 
for Advanced Component Development and Prototypes.

                     National Hypersonic Initiative

    The committee notes the multiple programs and efforts 
across the military services and defense agencies to deliver 
both offensive and defensive hypersonic capabilities to the 
regional combatant commanders and U.S. Strategic Command. The 
committee further notes a limited industrial base and workforce 
with the requisite knowledge and infrastructure to complete 
development, testing, production, and deployment of these 
weapon systems. Therefore, the committee is interested in the 
potential of an initiative to address current gaps that exist 
in development, testing, and fielding of hypersonic 
capabilities, as well as to accelerate production and fielding. 
The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation 
with interagency partners as necessary, to submit a report to 
the House Committee on Armed Services not later than February 
1, 2023, on potential options to establish a ``National 
Hypersonic Initiative'' that identifies the following:
    (1) Options to establish innovative solutions leap-ahead 
technologies for accelerating and increasing production 
capacity across the current programs of record within the 
military services, to include the potential use of Government 
owned-contractor operated facilities;
    (2) Areas in which partnerships with academia and the 
private sector can be strengthened with regards to technology 
and producibility of hypersonic weapon systems;
    (3) Areas in which the Department of Defense can 
collaborate across the Interagency to improve development, 
testing and fielding of hypersonic capabilities;
    (4) A list of allied countries that have expressed 
interest, or which the Department of Defense believe could make 
contributions in, co-development or co-production efforts with 
the Department of Defense with regards to hypersonic weapon 
systems; and
    (5) Other relevant lines of effort or work areas as 
determined by the Secretary.
    For those options identified in the report that would 
require funding to execute, the committee directs the Secretary 
to include what resources are needed in the first 5-years of 
the initiative.

              Support of Reusable Hypersonic Capabilities

    The committee commends the Department of Defense for years 
of meaningful investment in hypersonic technologies. The 
committee recognizes the imperative to close the gap with 
foreign adversaries in the development and fielding of 
hypersonic weapons. At the same time, the committee calls on 
the Department to increase investments in reusable hypersonic 
technology, the one area of hypersonics where the United States 
appears to hold a lead over foreign adversaries. Reusable 
hypersonic platforms could provide critical communications, 
intelligence, and targeting capability during a conflict with a 
high-end foreign adversary. To rapidly prototype and field 
reusable hypersonic platforms, the committee encourages the 
Department to take advantage of commercial solutions from the 
private sector, which is already investing in this area given 
the potential national security and civilian applications. The 
committee recommends the Department leverage the flexible 
acquisition authorities Congress has granted and pursue non-
traditional partnerships to deliver a reusable hypersonic 
platform to the warfighter to rapidly address combatant 
commander requirements.

    The Department of Defense requested $10,241,948,000 for 
military construction, $284,687,000 for Base Realignment and 
Closure activities, and $1,955,836,000 for family housing for 
fiscal year 2023. The committee recommends authorization of 
appropriations of $14,339,767,000 for military construction, 
$384,687,000 for Base Realignment and Closure activities, and 
$1,955,836,000 for family housing in fiscal year 2023.

this Act would take effect on October 1, 2022, or the date of 
the enactment of this Act, whichever is later. This section 
would also provide for the automatic execution of certain

                 TITLE XXI--ARMY MILITARY CONSTRUCTION

                                SUMMARY

    The budget request contained $845,565,000 for Army military 
construction and $605,750,000 for family housing for fiscal 
year 2022. The committee recommends authorization of 
appropriations of $928,679,000 for military construction and 
$605,750,000 for family housing for the Army in fiscal year 
2023.

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                   Explanation of Funding Adjustments

    The committee recommends the inclusion of funding for 
projects requested by the Army but not contained in the budget 
request for military construction and family housing. These 
increases include:
    (1) $61,000,000 for a Joint Operations Center at Fort Polk, 
Louisiana;
    (2) $19,000,000 for a barracks at Fort Hood, Texas; and
    (3) $3,654,000 for a Precision Munitions Test Tower at 
Picatinny Arsenal, New Jersey.
    In addition, the committee recommends a funding increase of 
$502,900,000 for cost increases due to inflation.
    The committee also recommends a reduction of $20.0 million 
for the Powertrain Facility at Corpus Christi Army Depot, 
Texas. However, the committee supports the authorization of 
appropriations in an amount equivalent to the ability of the 
Department of Defense to execute in the year of the 
authorization for appropriations. The committee believes that 
the Department of the Army cannot fully expend the requested 
funding in fiscal year 2023, and therefore recommends an 
authorization of appropriation of $83.0 million, a reduction of 
$20.0 million, for this project.

             NORAD Support Infrastructure Recapitalization

    The Cheyenne Mountain Complex is located at Cheyenne 
Mountain Space Force Station (CMAFS), a short distance from 
NORAD and USNORTHCOM headquarters at Peterson Space Force Base 
in Colorado Springs, Colorado. A hardened command and control 
center was developed as a defense against long-range Soviet 
bombers and the construction of an operational center was 
finalized within the granite mountain. Like much of the Cold 
War era infrastructure the Cheyenne Mountain facility became 
operational in the 1960s. The committee is concerned that since 
that time, NORAD support facilities have atrophied and require 
recapitalization to support this critical mission. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 
2023, that details the Secretary's intent to recapitalize 
critical components and contingency billeting associated with 
NORAD support facilities that are necessary to sustain these 
capabilities over the fiscal year 2024 Program Objective 
Memorandum.

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


      Access for individuals with disabilities in military housing

    The committee strongly believes in accessibility for 
individuals with disabilities for military housing, including 
housing available to families through the Military Housing 
Privatization Initiative (MHPI). The committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House Armed 
Services Committee, by March 31st, 2023, assessing housing 
accessibility features as set forth in Standards for Type C 
(Visitable) Units of the International Code Council Standard 
for Accessible and Usable Buildings and Facilities (section 
1005 of ICC A117.1-2009) or any successor standard, including 
zero-step entry, wheelchair accessible doorways, wheelchair 
accessible hallways on the home's main level, accessible 
bathroom on the home's main level, and any other features the 
Secretary deems necessary. The briefing should differentiate 
and distinguish between the prevalence of these features among 
older homes (e.g., constructed before 2009) from the prevalence 
among new builds (e.g., constructed since 2018) and should 
further provide a breakdown of the prevalence by home type 
(e.g., multi-family, single-family).

                           Air Force Housing

    The committee notes that housing for many military 
personnel, both unaccompanied and those with families, is a 
challenge. The committee has heard repeatedly about the poor 
quality and inadequate capacity of barracks across the country 
and believes that more must be done to correct these issues. 
Furthermore, the committee has heard from numerous defense 
communities and service members about the challenges they and 
their families face in finding safe and affordable homes as 
prices soar nationwide and supply is limited or non-existent. 
The Air Force, much like the other military services, is 
confronted with both of these issues. Dormitory overcapacity 
issues, like those found on Nellis Air Force Base, lower 
morale, hurt retention, and provide a poorer quality of life 
for our newest and youngest airmen. Off-base housing shortages 
create crisis for Air Force service members and their families 
at installations like Hill and Beale Air Force Bases, and it is 
imperative that the Air Force and surrounding communities 
continue to work together to address this need.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of 
the Air Force for Energy, Installations, and Environment to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
February 15, 2023, that should include:
    (1) an assessment of how the Air Force is addressing 
housing shortages at its bases;
    (2) a review of the Air Force's effort to improve access to 
affordable housing for service members and their families;
    (3) a breakdown of those locations and instances where the 
military housing privatization initiative system might be 
useful in providing the needed housing;
    (4) a summary of how recent Dormitory Master Plans, Housing 
Community Profiles, Family Housing Master Plans, and Housing 
Requirements and Market Analyses have influenced decision-
making and the current housing stock at these bases;
    (5) a list of those Air Force dormitories that are at 95 
percent capacity or more;
    (6) a description of the current composition of those 
dormitories that fall within the 95 percent capacity or more 
category;
    (7) the average stay in an enlisted dormitory for a newly 
assigned single or unaccompanied airman eligible to live in the 
dormitory; and
    (8) the process for dislocation from the enlisted dormitory 
to off-base housing, along with the average cost to the airman 
to secure housing, furniture, transportation, and additional 
items required to live independently.

                   Area-Wide Contracts and Utilities

    The committee notes that area-wide contracts provide a 
vehicle for the Department of Defense to enter into a public-
private partnership with regulated electric companies to 
provide energy, increase resilience, and provide efficiency 
upgrades. The committee is disappointed that the Department of 
Defense has not taken full advantage of this authority as a 
means of mitigating energy resilience gaps and facilitating the 
Department's goals of lowering energy costs through increased 
efficiency and fielding the charging infrastructure needed to 
facilitate the increased use of electric vehicles. Accordingly, 
the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than January 15, 2023, on the use of area-wide contracts and 
any policy or statutory limitations that are preventing their 
further use for the aforementioned purposes.

                    Army Installation Cybersecurity

    The committee notes that central to securing installations 
both domestically and abroad is a holistic approach that 
ensures resiliency of Army installations. However, the 
committee is concerned that gaps remain, and more specifically 
that the Army has not fully assessed its needs in the area of 
potential cyberattacks on installation-based industrial control 
systems.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by February 1, 2023, that includes:
    (1) a 5-year notional plan for securing industrial control 
systems; and
    (2) the costs associated with it broken out by procurement; 
research, development, test, and evaluation; and operation and 
maintenance accounts.

      Briefing on Additive Manufacturing and Military Construction

    As the Department continues to replace barracks across many 
installations, new technology may allow for more efficient and 
cost effective construction. The committee is aware of the 
Defense Innovation Unit's Construction Scale Additive 
Manufacturing project and plans to build three 3D-printed 
barracks at Fort Bliss.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Armed Services Committee no 
later than January 30, 2023. The briefing should include an 
update on the Construction Scale Additive Manufacturing project 
and how the department plans to include additive manufacturing 
in future military construction projects.

                Briefing on the Pohakuloa Training Area

    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army to brief 
the House Committee on Armed Services not later than December 
1, 2023, on measures taken to consult with Native Hawaiian 
organizations on the timing, planning, methodology, and 
implementation for the removal of unexploded ordnance and other 
contaminants at Pohakuloa Training Area.

                 Construction Material Fire Performance

    The committee notes that as required in the Conference 
Report (H. Rept. 116-442) accompanying the William M. (Mac) 
Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2021, the Secretary of Defense submitted a report to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on potential uses for innovative wood 
technologies. The committee further notes that the Department 
cited concerns about mass timber combustibility in this report, 
while also noting that under some testing conditions, mass 
timber performed better than other construction materials. The 
committee believes that further context is required to more 
fully evaluate mass timber fire performance. Therefore, the 
Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report 
to the congressional defense committees not later than March 
15, 2023, fully evaluating the fire safety performance of 
modern building code defined mass timber systems to include 
assessment of fire resistance at varying levels of fire 
intensity. The report shall also include an assessment of how 
comparable building materials performed under similar test 
conditions.

       Digital Platforms to Enhance Military Community Engagement

    The Committee recognizes the need to continue improving the 
efficiency of military construction projects in order to ensure 
the successful delivery of projects which meet the needs of the 
warfighter, as well as enhance the partnership with local 
military communities. The use of digital, interactive community 
engagement technologies can further aid the Department in 
expediting the length of time to complete the necessary project 
review process while increasing public understanding, 
delivering more equitable community engagement, and allowing 
for greater collaboration between the military and relevant 
stakeholders.
    In order to expedite the project delivery at the Department 
and with the general public and to facilitate interactive 
public stakeholder engagement and understanding of impacts of 
military construction projects, the committee encourages the 
Army Corps of Engineers to use an interactive, digital, cloud-
based platform when carrying out the project reviews and 
assessments and community engagement processes required for 
military construction projects on no less than 10 percent of 
such projects in each fiscal year. The committee directs the 
Chief of Engineers of the United States Army Corps of Engineers 
to report to the Armed Services Committees by October 1, 2022 
of its efforts to increase the use of these digital engagement 
platforms as part of the military construction process.

              Extreme Weather and Microgrid Prioritization

    The committee encourages the Secretary of the Army to 
prioritize the installation of microgrids at Army installations 
under greatest threat from extreme weather-related disasters. 
The Army's prioritization for installation of microgrids should 
weigh the threat of tropical storms, hurricanes, tornadoes, 
earthquakes, and other natural disasters to the installation.

                 Feasibility of Barracks Privatization

    The committee notes that the military departments have 
chronically underfunded quality-of-life infrastructure. The 
committee is disappointed that the services continue to take 
risk in facilities sustainment, renovation, and modernization 
accounts which has led to a high number of service members 
being forced to live in poor and failing unaccompanied housing 
facilities. Given the chronic underinvestment, the committee 
encourages the Department of Defense to look for innovative 
ways to improve the condition of quality-of-life 
infrastructure. Accordingly, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the House Committee 
on Armed Services by July 1, 2023, on the feasibility of 
privatizing unaccompanied housing to include barracks and 
dormitories within the United States. The report shall include 
at a minimum the following:
    (1) location-specific factors, market demand 
considerations, and operational considerations that would 
impact the viability of privatized unaccompanied military 
housing;
    (2) alternative forms of privatization to include 
government-owned/contractor-operated facilities; full 
privatization with a transfer of ownership to include 
privatization of operations, maintenance, and recapitalization 
of the facilities to the private sector;
    (3) a preliminary assessment of the viability of the 
business case for the above forms of privatization;
    (4) an assessment of Department policies related to 
occupation of and assignment to unaccompanied housing and what, 
if any, changes would be required to facilitate a privatization 
program;
    (5) what, if any, legislative changes would be required to 
facilitate a privatization program, to include both changes to 
title 10, United States Code, and section 402 of title 37, 
United States Code; and
    (6) any other barriers to a privatization program the 
Secretary of Defense deems relevant.

 Feasibility of Using Joint Reserve Intelligence Centers for Software 
                              Development

    The committee understands that Joint Reserve Intelligence 
Centers are essential to the Director of the Defense 
Intelligence Agency's ability to develop and retain Reserve 
intelligence capabilities. But the committee also believes that 
the capacity associated with these secure facilities could be 
utilized as a communal workspace for software developers 
working on classified contracts during the work week. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 1, 2023, as to options to expand private sector use by 
cleared contractors of these secure facilities. Such report 
shall include, at a minimum, the following elements:
    (1) an assessment of the feasibility of using Joint Reserve 
Intelligence Centers as a communal workspace for software 
developers working on classified contracts during the work 
week;
    (2) recommendations on any modifications that would need to 
be made to Joint Reserve Intelligence Centers to create a 
development, security, and operations (DevSecOps) environment;
    (3) recommendations on the Joint Reserve Intelligence 
Center locations within the United States that could be best 
used as communal workspaces to spur innovation; and
    (4) an assessment of the personnel requirements that would 
be necessary to provide support to Joint Reserve Intelligence 
Centers that may be used as communal workspaces.

   Feasibility Study on Housing and Parking at Refueling and Complex 
                           Overhaul Locations

    The committee notes that the quality of life and conditions 
that sailors are subjected to when assigned to a naval vessel 
undergoing nuclear refueling or defueling and any concurrent 
complex overhaul are challenging in many ways. These conditions 
can include a lack of housing and transportation options 
located reasonably close to the shipyard where the refueling 
and complex overhaul work is completed. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report 
to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
of Representatives by February 1, 2023, assessing the 
feasibility of expanding housing and parking garage options 
located closer to the refueling and complex overhaul work site 
to minimize the commute for sailors. The assessment shall 
include an analysis of:
    (1) current housing shortfalls at refueling and complex 
overhaul locations, taking into account the commutes from those 
housing locations,
    (2) current parking lot and garage shortfalls at refueling 
and complex overhaul locations contributing to long commutes 
for sailors,
    (3) potential solutions to those shortfalls, including 
using military construction funds or through community 
partnerships with public- or private-sector organizations,
    (4) comparison of anticipated cost and benefits of the 
proposed solutions, and
    (5) any other matters the Secretary of the Navy deems 
necessary.

            Future Air Force Aircraft Basing Considerations

    The Committee is aware of the Air Force's current strategy 
to reduce fleets of third and fourth-generation fighter 
aircraft in order to free up resources and manpower for fifth 
and next generation aircraft and capabilities. The Committee 
encourages the Air Force to seek similar efficiencies as they 
review options for long-term basing of new aircraft. The 
committee is aware that there are many elements that are 
considered as part of the basing process but is unclear on the 
extent to which these considerations carry weight in the 
process. In particular, the committee is unclear on how the Air 
Force prioritizes consideration of bases that currently host 
legacy aircraft with related missions, including those that 
they propose to retire during the future years defense program. 
In addition, the committee believes there is a need for 
increased clarity and transparency on how the Air Force weighs 
other installations attributes including the following: high 
average flying days per year, access to proximate training 
ranges and airspace, proximate aerial refueling capacity, 
existing installation and airfield infrastructure, and 
community support.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by no later than February 28, 2023 on the relative 
weight afforded to the considerations listed above on the 
basing process. In addition, the report shall include a 
discussion of how the Air Force assesses and weighs the 
availability of relevant infrastructure on its consideration of 
basing alternatives.

         Industrial, Flexible and Demountable Building Systems

    The committee notes the significant backlog of military 
construction projects across the Department of Defense which 
are driven by aging infrastructure, concurrent force 
modernization programs, and worsened by recent natural 
disasters. The committee also understands that the military 
construction planning and appropriations process further 
extends project timelines and imposes additional delays in 
availability of new mission facilities. Finally, the committee 
is aware that for many remote and austere locations, 
particularly in the INDOPACOM area of responsibility, there are 
additional challenges associated with military construction, 
that have delayed needed projects. For these reasons, the 
committee sees potential value in exploring innovative 
approaches in rapid facility deployment in order to restore or 
provide critical mission capabilities until long-term permanent 
facilities can be planned, funded and constructed. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide 
a report to the congressional defense committees by March 1, 
2023 containing an assessment of alternative approaches to 
military facility construction in cases where speed, cost 
efficiency, and immediate mission impact take priority. This 
report shall include:
    (1) Timelines of recent natural disaster reconstruction 
projects at Tyndall Air Force Base and Offutt Air Force Base 
including costs expended on temporary mission facilities, 
timelines for restoration of full mission capability, and 
negative mission impact of delays in military construction;
    (2) An assessment of the probability of future requirements 
to respond to an urgent or emergent facility requirement faster 
than standard military construction timelines can provide;
    (3) A description and evaluation of innovative facility 
deployment concepts and technologies that could be used to 
rapidly provide or restore mission capability while standard 
military construction projects are being planned;
    (4) A description of how these technologies could be used 
to improve mission accomplishment and quality of life 
infrastructure at remote locations in the INDOPACOM area of 
responsibility including but not limited to Wake Island and 
Kwajalein;
    (5) A description of potential applications where 
innovative facility design and deployment concepts could be 
used to address the above concerns;
    (6) A description of how the Air Force has used and can use 
existing acquisition authorities such as 10 USC 2371b to 
catalyze innovative partnerships to prototype rapid facility 
solutions; and
    (7) Statutory or policy barriers that hinder the use of 
these facilities.

               Joint Base Lewis-McChord North Clear Zone

    The committee commends the Army for executing a cooperative 
agreement with stakeholders related to the Joint Base Lewis-
McChord North Clear Zone property acquisition. The committee is 
concerned that Army processes for assessing and approving 
purchases in the clear zone may not be nimble enough to take 
advantage of freely negotiated sales opportunities or purchase 
incentives that could lead to acceptable disposition of 
property within the clear zone. The committee encourages the 
Army to use all available authorities to expedite the 
acquisition of lands within this zone.

                    Joint Spectrum Center Relocation

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide 
the House and Senate Armed Services Committees, not later than 
December 23, 2022, with a report containing a cost estimate for 
the relocation of the offices of the Joint Spectrum Center to 
Fort Meade, Maryland. The cost estimate shall include, but not 
be limited to, the costs associated with moving the Joint 
Spectrum Center to its current designated building at Fort 
Meade, Maryland, as well as the cost and mission efficiencies 
that could be achieved by consolidating some or all Joint 
Spectrum Center personnel and mission with the Defense Spectrum 
Organization and other existing missions located at the Defense 
Information Systems Agency headquarter building at Fort Meade, 
Maryland. The committee also directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide the committees with the results of a full Balanced 
Survivability Assessment of the Joint Spectrum Center's current 
leased facility at the former David Taylor Research Center site 
in Annapolis, MD as part of the report directed above.

                   Military Construction Obligations

    The committee notes that there is an unprecedented amount 
of unobligated military construction totaling over $30.0 
billion. The committee notes that chronic underinvestment in 
planning and design accounts, COVID delays, and prior year 
military construction deferrals particularly impeded timely 
awards in the military construction program. These delayed 
construction projects have now encountered significant cost 
challenges. The committee further notes that it is unclear the 
extent to which the Department has analyzed how inflationary 
pressures and executive orders will impact the military 
construction program and incorporated these impacts into the 
military construction budget request. The committee is unclear 
as to how the $30.0 billion of unobligated military 
construction appropriations should be interpreted in light of 
these factors. To better understand the impact of these various 
factors on the military construction program, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the 
congressional defense committees by March 1, 2023. The report 
shall include the following:
    (1) Cost impacts attributable to delays and deferrals of 
the current military construction programs to include 
unobligated balances;
    (2) The extent to which the policies of Department of 
Defense and the military departments to include underinvestment 
in planning and design accounts, and inclusion of military 
construction projects that were less than 35% planning and 
design complete have contributed to poor execution rates in the 
year of appropriation, and unobligated military construction 
balances;
    (3) The extent to which cost estimates have been created 
for executive orders not yet factored into the anticipated cost 
of unobligated military construction projects; and
    (4) A description of the data and analytical framework used 
to estimate costs associated with the executive order by order 
to include cost avoidance over the life cycle of the project.

              Natural Infrastructure for Water Management

    The committee notes that many military installations have 
problems managing stormwater which in turn leads to flooding 
and may contribute to off-installation pollution of water 
resources. The committee is aware that the use of natural 
infrastructure such as absorbent roadside planters, green 
roofs, and bioswales can provide a cost-effective means to 
avoid flooding and the corresponding risk of property damage, 
infrastructure destruction, and pollution. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by December 15, 2022, on the 
potential for natural infrastructure to lower stormwater-
related risks to infrastructure and the environment on military 
installations. This briefing shall include the following:
    (1) a list of installations where stormwater management is 
a concern;
    (2) current policy and practice related to using natural 
infrastructure for stormwater management and flooding 
abatement;
    (3) opportunities for future improvement of stormwater 
management through natural infrastructure; and
    (4) any statutory or policy barriers to increased 
implementation of natural infrastructure for stormwater 
management.

    Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake Earthquake Recovery Efforts

    Naval Air Weapons Station (NAWS) China Lake is an essential 
element of our nation's test and development enterprise. In 
response to the 2019 earthquakes, which caused significant 
damage to NAWS China Lake, the Navy has prioritized rebuilding 
this critical installation. Despite the wide scope of the 
rebuilding efforts, a global pandemic, and supply chain issues, 
this project has been moving forward. The committee appreciates 
the Secretary of the Navy's dedication and efforts to ensure 
this installation is rebuilt as expeditiously as possible so 
that this installation is well positioned to support our 
country. The committee encourages the Secretary to continue to 
prioritize this important effort.

                   Naval Aviation Training Enterprise

    The committee is concerned with the deteriorating 
infrastructure within the Naval Aviation Training Enterprise 
and the increasing need to build resiliency into our coastal 
installations. The committee also notes that certain Navy 
training installations, including Naval Air Station Corpus 
Christi, have unique roles in supporting specialized tenant 
commands. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Navy to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by March 1, 2023 on the strategy to address the 
infrastructure needs of the Naval Aviation Training Enterprise 
and their supporting tenants. This report shall include a 
description of military construction and major repair 
investments needed to meet such strategy as well as a timeline 
for implementation.

            Pilot Program on Sustainable Building Materials

    The committee notes that the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81) required the 
Department of Defense to commence a pilot program for the use 
of sustainable materials such as mass timber products and low 
carbon concrete. The committee is disappointed that the 
Department has not more fully embraced sustainable building 
materials that could help it meet its sustainability goals, 
mitigate supply chain challenges, and enhance installation 
resilience. The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
December 1, 2022, that provides an update on the execution of 
the sustainable materials pilot program for military 
construction.

Prioritization of Facility Sustainment, Renovation, Modernization, and 
                              Maintenance

    The committee is disappointed by the continued chronic 
underfunding of Facilities Sustainment, Renovation, and 
Modernization (FSRM) over decades and across multiple 
administrations. The committee notes that despite this chronic 
assumption of risk in military infrastructure, the FSRM 
accounts are also continually a target for reprogramming 
actions. The committee is concerned that these actions have led 
to particularly dire circumstances in categories of 
infrastructure that compete less favorably for resources or are 
considered lower priority including barracks, child development 
centers, laboratories, test and evaluation infrastructure. 
Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
February 1, 2023, on prioritization of FSRM funds across 
various types of infrastructure. The report shall include the 
following:
    (1) a breakdown of FSRM spending by type of infrastructure 
and by military department per year over the last 5 years;
    (2) amounts that have been reprogrammed from the FSRM 
accounts of the military departments per year over the last 5 
years by dollar amount and percentage of the appropriation;
    (3) in the case of quality-of-life infrastructure, the 
amount per year spent on the following: permanent party 
barracks, transient barracks, and child development centers (by 
dollar amount and percentage of total appropriation) for each 
military department; and
    (4) in the case of infrastructure related to research, 
development, test, and evaluation, the amount per year spent on 
the subcategories of research and development, science and 
technology, and test and evaluation by dollar amount and 
percentage of the appropriation by each military department.

     Project Labor Agreements for Shipyard Infrastructure Projects

    The committee notes that Executive Order 14063 on the use 
of project labor agreements for Federal construction projects 
was issued on February 4, 2022. The order establishes that it 
is the policy of the Federal Government for agencies to use 
project labor agreements in connection with Federal 
construction projects above $35.0 million.
    The committee notes that the Navy will be initiating 
several significant construction projects over the next few 
years as part of its Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Plan 
(SIOP). The committee further notes that many SIOP projects 
will be long in duration, operationally complex, and will 
involve multiple crafts and trades. To facilitate the 
committee's understanding of the Navy's use of project labor 
agreements for SIOP projects, the committee directs the 
Secretary of the Navy to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than June 1, 2023, on the 
Navy's use of project labor agreements for SIOP projects in 
accordance with Executive Order 14063. The briefing should 
include a prioritized list of SIOP projects for which the Navy 
has used, or projects it will use, project labor agreements.

                 Report on Defense Access Roads on Guam

    The committee notes that as Guam is further hardened with 
necessary Missile Defense Assets to complement force projection 
on the second island chain, attention is needed to ensure 
critical access points are traversable by the necessary 
vehicles and equipment needed to support the planned 360-degree 
defense system. The current main supply route (MSR) from Naval 
Base Guam to Andersen Air Force Base (AAFB) is Route One. 
Military use of Route One and Route Three to access Marine 
Corps Base Camp Blaz (MCBCB) and onward to AAFB is expected to 
increase. This results in Route One being heavily trafficked by 
military vehicles, especially during exercises, and a 
significant increase in military traffic is anticipated if 
major combat operations were to take place. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report 
to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
December 1, 2023, on Defense Access Road (DAR) needs on Guam as 
they correspond to the aforementioned MSR use as well as the 
planned 360-degree air and missile defense system for Guam to 
ensure that all possible DARs are funded to meet military needs 
assuming worst case scenarios.

       Report on Housing Storage for Members of the Armed Forces

    The committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense 
for Energy, Installations, and Environment to submit a report 
to House Committee on Armed Services not later than February 1, 
2023 on housing availability for members of the Armed Forces. 
Such report shall include the following elements:
    (1) As assessment of current housing availability at 
installations identified pursuant to ``Wait Times for On-Base 
Housing'' (H. Rept. 117-118).
    (2) An assessment of options to increase housing 
availability at installations identified pursuant to ``Wait 
Times for On-Base Housing'' (H. Rept. 117-118).
    (3) Recommendations regarding a need for an officer or 
civilian employee of the Department of Defense to serve, at 
each military installation, as a housing manager
    (4) Recommendations for improving and increasing housing 
affordability for servicemembers and military dependents at 
installations identified pursuant to ``Wait Times for On-Base 
Housing'' (H. Rept. 117-118).

 Report on Installation Access for Housing and Environmental Inspectors

    The committee commends the military departments for the 
significant progress made in protecting the health and safety 
of military families who reside in privatized military housing. 
However, the committee is concerned by reports that state, 
local, and federal housing and environmental inspectors have 
been denied access to military installations, or had their 
access delayed, due to a lack of clarity on the part of 
personnel regarding inspectors' ability to conduct onsite 
inspects and review relevant housing records. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Comptroller General of the United States 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
February 1, 2023, which shall address the following:
    (1) The prevalence of denial of access to state, local, and 
federal housing and environmental inspectors;
    (2) The causes of denial of access;
    (3) Other institutional obstacles to the ability of state, 
local, and federal housing and environmental inspectors to 
carry out their duties at military installations; and
    (4) Make recommendations for procedures to avoid undue 
denial of base access in the future.

   Report on Space Needs in Support of Foreign Military Sales Mission

    The committee continues to express concern as to the 
ability of the Department of Defense to provide requisite 
facilities to support Foreign Military Sales (FMS) mission 
requirements. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense, in coordination with the Director of the Defense 
Security Cooperation Agency, to submit a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2023, that includes the 
following elements:
    (1) requirements to meet the facility shortfalls for 
administrative space related to the mission of the Foreign 
Military Sales program authorized by chapter 2 of the Arms 
Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2761).
    (2) a projection of the impact on the FMS mission if the 
requirements described in (1) are not met.
    (3) an analysis of alternatives to meet the requirements 
described in (1) to include the following alternatives: (a) new 
construction on a military installation; (b) leasing or other 
privatized alternatives to obtain suitable facilities on or off 
of a military installation; (c) rehabilitating existing 
facilities on a military installation; and (d) other relevant 
alternatives as determined by the Secretary.
    (4) such analysis of alternatives shall include the 
following items for each alternative: (a) costs and benefits; 
(b) advantages, disadvantages, and relevant factors to the FMS 
mission and to the Department; and (c) an analysis of existing 
statutory limitations and, if any, proposed legislative 
language to amend such limitations to meet the requirements 
identified in subsection (1) for each of the alternatives 
outlined in subsection (3).

  Report on the Transfer of Dillingham Airfield to the State of Hawaii

    The committee is aware of ongoing negotiations between the 
Army, U.S. Department of Transportation, and Hawaii Department 
of Transportation regarding the long term lease of Dillingham 
Airfield. Given that the Army previously conducted an 
assessment of whether Dillingham Airfield is in excess and 
could be returned to the State of Hawaii, the committee directs 
the Secretary of the Army to submit a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than June 1, 2023, on all 
the steps that would be necessary to transfer ownership of 
Dillingham Airfield to the State of Hawaii within two years 
after the date of the enactment of this Act.

            Rocket Propulsion Test and Evaluation Facilities

    The committee is aware of the critical contributions of the 
United States' rocket propulsion research, development, test, 
and evaluation facilities. The committee is concerned that 
despite the importance of this work, the military departments 
continue to take risk by delaying the recapitalization and 
modernization of these facilities. The committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by December 15, 2022, on the 
Secretary's plan to address the recapitalization of these 
facilities including but not limited to the Air Force Research 
Laboratory Rocket Propulsion Division Test Facilities, White 
Sands Missile Range, Naval Support Facility Indian Head, and 
Naval Air Warfare Center Weapons Division. This briefing should 
consider and discuss the full range of available authorities, 
as well as the business case for a new model of leveraging 
commercial space companies in support of national objectives 
and how the Secretary factors in usage of these facilities by 
the private sector in the recapitalization strategy.

                           Sequalitchew Creek

    The committee commends the Army for its work thus far in 
accomplishing needed environmental restoration projects related 
to Sequalitchew Creek and its associated canals. The committee 
notes that the Army made an important first step in this 
process by executing a memorandum of agreement with 
stakeholders. The committee encourages the Army to continue its 
work by following up with agreed-upon water utility repair and 
developing a maintenance plan per the memorandum of agreement.

                               Soo Locks

    The committee understands that the Soo Locks on the St. 
Mary's 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 believes 
that a failure at the Soo Locks would have a significant impact 
on national security, in that the U.S. iron mining-integrated 
steel production-manufacturing supply chain is dependent on the 
Soo Locks. Without redundancy, any unexpected outage at the Soo 
Locks would cripple steel production that is used for national 
defense priorities. Therefore, the committee supports the 
construction of a second 1,200-foot lock and believes that such 
a lock is necessary to maintain redundancy and resiliency at 
the Soo Locks and further protects our national defense 
priorities.

                 South Carolina National Guard Land Use

    The committee notes that the South Carolina National Guard 
and the Department of Energy have signed a permit to allow use 
of 750 acres at the Savannah River Site for military training 
and permanent facilities to support expanded and emerging 
training requirements. The committee understands that the 
National Guard Bureau and Department of the Army continue to 
address barriers that have prevented the formal establishment 
of the training site. The committee supports the establishment 
of the site that leverages the key partnership between the 
Savannah River National Laboratory and the South Carolina 
National Guard to expedite the deployment of innovative 
technologies through technical demonstrations, exercises and 
training. Additionally, the committee would support the 
expansion of the partnership with recognized federal and state 
entities to address national security interests such as cyber, 
electronic warfare, digitally secured advanced manufacturing, 
hardening the grid, countering weapons of mass destruction, 
scalable autonomy for both next generation ground and aerial 
vehicles along with human factors research.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to prepare a brief for the House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 1, 2023, as to options the Secretary is considering to 
take advantage of the mutual benefits of a Savannah River 
National Laboratory and the South Carolina National Guard 
partnership and options to expand the future utility of the 
site.

Study on Deployment of Electric Vertical Take Off and Landing Aircraft 
                       at Military Installations

    The committee remains interested in the U.S. Air Force's 
Agility Prime program. The Agility Prime program is working 
towards its goal of ensuring a robust domestic market for 
electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft and 
preparing the technologies for use within the Department of 
Defense. In the committee report accompanying the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (H. Rept. 117-
118), the committee required the Secretary of the Air Force to 
submit a report on the focus areas, projected dates of key 
milestones, a projected timeline for acquisition of electric 
aircraft, and other information related to the Agility Prime 
program. The committee looks forward to receiving the report 
and is encouraged by the inclusion of electric aircraft 
procurement by the Air Force in the budget request for fiscal 
year 2023. As Agility Prime continues to test electric aircraft 
and deploys them in different use cases, the Committee is 
interested in the future deployment of eVTOL capability at 
Department of Defense installations.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by March 31, 2023, on the use cases of eVTOL validated 
by the Agility Prime program, a list of installations where 
electric aircraft are deployed for testing, a list of 
installation characteristics that may influence future 
deployment of electric aircraft, and efforts to work with the 
Federal Aviation Administration on certification of electric 
aircraft and pilot trainings.

  Support for Increased Public Access to the National Naval Aviation 
 Museum and Barrancas National Cemetery on Naval Air Station Pensacola

    The committee notes that public access to the National 
Naval Aviation Museum and Barrancas National Cemetery on Naval 
Air Station Pensacola was restricted as a precautionary measure 
immediately after the insider attack on December 6, 2019. The 
committee further notes that significant changes to training 
curriculum followed but that the limitation on public access 
has yet to be reviewed. Finally, the committee notes that 
public access to the national cemetery and limitations on the 
largest single tourist attraction west of Orlando and east of 
New Orleans on the Gulf Coast are not in the long-term 
interests of the Department of the Navy. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide a brief 
to the House Committee on Armed Services no later than March 1, 
2023, as to the status of support and plans to permit increased 
public access and transportation improvements to the National 
Naval Aviation Museum and Barrancas National Cemetery at Naval 
Air Station Pensacola.

                   Sustainable Groundwater Management

    The committee notes that the State of California enacted 
the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act in 2014 to protect 
groundwater resources in the State over the long term. The 
committee further notes that pursuant to this act, groundwater 
authorities were created to manage State-designated areas of 
medium- and high-priority basins including the Indian Wells 
Valley Groundwater Basin. The committee is concerned that in 
circumstances where these State-designated basins are in 
critical overdraft they could impact military mission 
readiness. Given that effective coordination is essential to 
maintaining readiness for military installations in medium- or 
high-priority basins, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense or his designee to coordinate with groundwater 
authorities, regional water management agencies, and local 
governments to ensure effective communication. Further, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by December 
1, 2022, on its efforts to coordinate with these stakeholders 
around military installations in California such as Naval Air 
Weapons Station China Lake to develop and implement solutions, 
including the importation of water, that promote long-term 
water supply sustainability in the basin.

                        Utilities Privatization

    The committee commends the military departments' use of 
utilities privatization authorities to enhance infrastructure 
at domestic installations. The committee notes that the 
privatization of water and energy utilities often leads to 
better reliability, resilience, sustainability, and cost 
savings. The committee encourages the military departments to 
increase efforts to privatize water utility systems 
particularly in locations that are at high risk for poor water 
quality, water scarcity/drought, or sustained regulatory 
noncompliance. The committee notes that modern, well-maintained 
infrastructure can increase mission resilience and be 
protective of human health and the environment.
    Similarly, the committee notes that with the increased use 
of energy at many installations through both mission sources 
and the increased fielding of electric vehicles (EVs), 
utilities privatization can build more resilient systems that 
are better able to accommodate grid stress. The committee 
understands that current utilities privatization contracts 
encompass the entire installation grid system to include the 
distribution system, component parts, and necessary upgrades to 
the system to accommodate new missions and tasks. The committee 
contends that the EV charging stations and associated 
distribution systems are a part of the installation overall 
energy distribution system. Accordingly, the committee directs 
the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by December 1, 2022, on how it will maximize the use of 
utilities privatization to improve energy resilience, 
facilitate the increased use of EVs, and mitigate water quality 
and scarcity concerns.

     Wireless Electric Vehicle Charging for Military Installations

    The committee commends the Department's commitment to 
investing in energy efficient technologies, including zero 
emissions non-tactical vehicles and related charging 
infrastructure. Therefore, the committee directs the Deputy 
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Environment and Energy 
Resilience to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than February 1, 2023, on efforts to 
deploy wireless electric vehicle charging infrastructure at 
defense installations. The briefing shall also include 
information on how those efforts may be influenced by industry 
standards for wireless electric vehicle charging.

              World War II and Cold War Era Infrastructure

    The committee is aware that on many installations, 
including Hill Air Force Base, and many of the nation's 
laboratories, there remains World War II or Cold War era 
infrastructure that continues to be in service today despite 
not meeting modern building code requirements, safety 
standards, or security standards. The committee notes that 
service members and Department of Defense civilians are working 
in conditions which include inadequate heating, air 
conditioning, mechanical systems, and other components which 
are deemed inefficient and unreliable. The committee further 
notes that in the case of laboratories, the lack of renovation 
and modernization impedes innovation that is essential to the 
continued military success of the United States.

                          OTHER AUTHORIZATIONS

      TITLE XXXI--DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NATIONAL SECURITY PROGRAMS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


Comptroller General Review of National Nuclear Security Administration 
                       Recruitment and Retention

    The committee recognizes the challenge faced by the 
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) and its 
Managing and Operating (M&O) contractors (Kansas City National 
Security Campus, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, Los 
Alamos National Laboratory, Nevada National Security Site, Y-12 
National Security Complex, Pantex Plant, Sandia National 
Laboratories, and Savannah River Site) in recruiting and 
retaining individuals with specialized skills needed to oversee 
and execute critical national security programs. Given the 
continued expansion of NNSA weapons activities and the labor 
market, this challenge may become more acute.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to undertake a review of recruitment and 
retention at NNSA and its M&O contractors. The review shall 
include at a minimum the following:
    (1) analysis of trends in recruitment and retention at NNSA 
and its M&O contractors over at least the last 5 years, 
including assessments of trends within specific job functions 
and skill sets and at each individual M&O site;
    (2) an identification of factors that are making 
recruitment and retention at NNSA and its M&O contractors 
challenging, to include NNSA policies on pay and other 
compensation, the pay and compensation offered at each M&O 
contractor, and other factors;
    (3) an assessment of recent steps taken by NNSA to enhance 
recruitment and retention to assess their efficacy;
    (4) a review of other Government efforts designed to 
increase recruitment and retention of individuals with 
specialized skill sets to judge their potential utility for 
NNSA; and
    (5) any recommendations for the Department of Energy, NNSA, 
and Congress that the Comptroller General identifies based on 
its analysis.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to provide a briefing to the House Committee 
on Armed Services by April 1, 2023, on the Comptroller 
General's preliminary findings and to submit a final report on 
a date agreed to at the time of the briefing. This report may 
be combined with others assigned to the Comptroller General 
related to NNSA and M&O contractor personnel.

 Comptroller General Review of Quality Assurance Functions Across the 
                    Environmental Management Complex

    The committee notes that in a 2018 report entitled 
``Hanford Waste Treatment Plant: DOE Needs to Take Further 
Actions to Address Weaknesses in Its Quality Assurance 
Program'', the Comptroller General of the United States 
identified quality assurance issues at the Hanford Site's Waste 
Treatment and Immobilization Plant that emerged in part due to 
the lack of independence of Hanford's quality assurance 
division. The committee recognizes that the purpose of quality 
assurance is to ensure that design, construction, and 
operations problems are identified, and that fixes are put in 
place to ensure they do not recur. The committee is concerned 
that other recent issues across the Department of Energy's 
Office of Environmental Management (EM) complex appear to stem, 
at least in part, from limited quality assurance oversight.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to evaluate what quality assurance functions 
Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management sites 
have for capital asset projects, what lessons the Department of 
Energy has learned from quality assurance issues across the EM 
complex, and what steps the Department of Energy is taking to 
ensure such issues do not reoccur.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to provide a briefing to the House Committee 
on Armed Services by April 1, 2023, on the Comptroller 
General's preliminary findings and to submit a final report on 
a date agreed to at the time of the briefing.

         Concerns with NNSA Management and Operation Contracts

    The committee notes that the committee report accompanying 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (H. 
Rept. 117-118) directed the National Nuclear Security 
Administration (NNSA) to deliver a report by March 1, 2022 on 
improving the process for awarding management and operation 
contracts and reducing risk. While the committee has received 
an interim briefing from NNSA, it is disappointed that it has 
not received the final report. The committee is concerned that 
uncertainty surrounding the award of management and operation 
contracts has a negative impact on employees at NNSA facilities 
due to the uncertain nature of the work environment.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Administrator of the 
National Nuclear Security Administration to provide a briefing 
to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
December 23, 2022, on the required report, including each 
element specified in the committee report accompanying the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (H. 
Rept. 117-118).

          Implementation of Nuclear Forensics Recommendations

    The committee notes that section 3231 of the John S. McCain 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 
required the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and 
Medicine to conduct a study that examined U.S. Government 
nuclear forensics capabilities. The resulting report entitled 
``Restoring and Improving Nuclear Forensics to Support 
Attribution and Deterrence'' was published in May 2021 and 
found that national technical nuclear forensics requires 
increased prioritization across the U.S. Government.
    The committee directs the Administrator of the National 
Nuclear Security Administration to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services not later than April 1, 2023, 
on the progress of the National Nuclear Security 
Administration, and the Government broadly, in implementing the 
recommendations of the study.

     Implementation of the University-Based Defense Nuclear Policy 
                         Collaboration Program

    The committee notes that the United States currently faces 
a shortage of innovative ideas to promote nuclear deterrence 
and nonproliferation and is experiencing a diminished pipeline 
of young experts to replenish the aging workforce. Civil 
society organizations can complement and augment governmental 
capacity through their independence, agility, and flexibility.
    Recognizing the urgency of the challenge, section 3113 of 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 
(Public Law 117-81) authorized a university-based defense 
nuclear policy collaboration program at the National Nuclear 
Security Administration (NNSA). The committee directs the 
Administrator of NNSA to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than April 1, 2023, on 
NNSA's plan to implement the university-based defense nuclear 
policy collaboration program. The briefing shall include, at a 
minimum:
    (1) an inventory of recent and ongoing NNSA funding for 
research, analysis, and other activities by universities and 
other non-profit organizations related to nuclear policy;
    (2) NNSA's planned approach for implementing the policy 
collaboration program, including the amount of funding 
requested over the Future-Years Nuclear Security Program; and
    (3) whether any realignment or new organizational 
structures within NNSA may be necessary to further foster the 
development of the policy collaboration program.

                   Modernization of the Pantex Plant

    The committee recognizes the important efforts that the 
Department of Defense and the National Nuclear Security 
Administration (NNSA) are making to modernize the nuclear 
enterprise. An important element of the nuclear enterprise is 
the Pantex Plant in Amarillo, Texas, the sole location where 
U.S. nuclear weapons are assembled and disassembled. The 
committee is concerned by the state of some of the facilities 
at the Pantex Plant and the pace of modernization at the site.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Administrator of NNSA 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than April 1, 2023, on NNSA's plan to modernize the 
Pantex Plant. The briefing shall include, at a minimum:
    (1) a description of which facilities and infrastructure at 
the Pantex Plant need to be modernized;
    (2) options for modernizing the facilities and 
infrastructure at the Pantex Plant, including an option or 
options for accelerated modernization over the Future Years 
Nuclear Security Program;
    (3) cost-estimates associated with the proposed 
modernization options over the Future Years Nuclear Security 
Program; and
    (4) an examination of any barriers to modernizing the 
facilities and infrastructure at the Pantex Plant, including 
any limits imposed by statutory requirements.

                        Plutonium Pit Production

    The committee notes that, regarding plutonium pit 
production, the Congressional Budget Office has stated that 
costs are significant, and very uncertain. The National Nuclear 
Security Administration (NNSA) has acknowledged that the 
current plan to produce 80 pits per year by 2030 is not 
feasible. In addition, there has not been adequate 
prioritization of studies and analysis of plutonium aging. The 
committee believes that given the scale, complexity, and 
history of plutonium pit production, NNSA must ensure that 
plutonium pit requirements and plans are fully understood and 
that past mistakes regarding safety shutdowns, cost overruns, 
and schedule delays are not repeated.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Administrator of the 
National Nuclear Security Administration to submit to the 
congressional defense committees not later than April 1, 2023, 
a report that provides an integrated master schedule for NNSA's 
overall plutonium pit production effort. The submitted schedule 
shall include timelines, resources, and budgets for planned 
work and shall be consistent with modern management standards 
and best practices.
    The committee also directs the Administrator of the 
National Nuclear Security Administration to submit to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than April 1, 2023, a 
briefing that describes the holistic environmental impact of 
expanded plutonium pit production, accounting for simultaneous 
pit production at multiple sites.
    The committee further directs the Administrator of the 
National Nuclear Security Administration to submit to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than April 1, 2023, a 
briefing that describes its plan to study plutonium aging. The 
briefing shall cover issues including but not limited to:
    (1) the program of research, including experiments and 
simulations, that NNSA has in place or is developing in order 
to determine the timescales over which plutonium aging may lead 
to an unacceptable degradation of nuclear weapon primary 
performance; and
    (2) a detailed plan for acquiring the necessary data, 
including a timeline of when the data required for an updated 
assessment of pit lifetime will become available, and what, if 
any, plans NNSA has for independent studies, analysis, and 
validation.
    Finally, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to assess NNSA's plan to study plutonium 
aging. The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than August 1, 2023, on the Comptroller General's 
findings and, as deemed appropriate, provide a report by a date 
agreed to at the time of the briefing.

 Role of National Nuclear Security Administration Regarding Biological 
                        Threats and Biosecurity

    The committee recognizes that the National Nuclear Security 
Administration (NNSA) national security laboratories have 
important capabilities to counter biological threats, including 
the ability to create models to anticipate destabilizing 
threats, identify threat signatures, develop detection 
technologies, and develop and validate safeguards and threat 
mitigation approaches, that should be leveraged to support 
national biosecurity objectives.
    However, the committee is concerned about NNSA moving away 
from its core focus on nuclear nonproliferation. Particularly 
as other departments and agencies of the Federal Government are 
shifting from activities regarding the nonproliferation of 
nuclear weapons to activities regarding countering biological 
and chemical threats, the committee maintains that the defense 
nuclear nonproliferation activities of the National Nuclear 
Security Administration should remain focused on countering 
nuclear and radiological threats.
    The committee does not support the establishment within the 
National Nuclear Security Administration of a bioassurance 
program or any other program focused on biological threats or 
biosecurity.
    The committee recommends that the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Administrator of NNSA, consider the 
current and potential contributions of the national security 
laboratories to national biosecurity objectives as part of the 
Department of Defense's Biodefense Posture Review. The Review 
would benefit from consideration of options that would take 
advantage of the unique capabilities of the NNSA national 
security laboratories relating to biological security without 
requiring the establishment of an office or oversight function 
relating to biosecurity at the National Nuclear Security 
Administration.

                     TITLE XXXV--MARITIME SECURITY

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


       Merchant Marine Academy infrastructure modernization plan

    The committee notes the importance of the work completed by 
the United States Merchant Marine Academy to educate the next 
generation of seagoing officers and maritime leaders, including 
over 80 percent of all United States Navy Strategic Sealift 
Officers that can be rapidly deployed to transport and sustain 
United States forces worldwide. The committee remains concerned 
that more should be done to address the findings of the 
National Academy of Public Administration report, directed by 
section 3513 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92). This report delivered an 
organizational assessment of the Merchant Marine Academy. The 
National Academy of Public Administration found that the 
Merchant Marine Academy requires substantial investment in 
facilities, infrastructure, and information technology, among 
other organizational reforms. The NAPA report also found that 
the Merchant Marine Academy does not have a facilities and 
infrastructure program in place to oversee the necessary 
reinvestment, and improvements are required to stabilize basic 
operations at the Merchant Marine Academy to support the 
delivery of capital improvements and maintenance projects in a 
timely and cost-effective manner.
    The committee is aware of the importance of recruiting and 
maintaining a strong strategic sealift officer corps to ensure 
that surge sealift capacity is available to the United States 
military, should the need arise.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Administrator of the 
Maritime Administration to deliver a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2023, on the Merchant 
Marine Academy's plans to organize future investments with a 
multi-year plan to improve the infrastructure, facilities, and 
information technology of the Merchant Marine Academy. This 
briefing must include a discussion of how oversight will be 
provided from the implementation of the investment program.

Hon. Adam Smith,

    Dear Chair Smith: I write concerning H.R. 7900, the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023. There 
are certain provisions in the legislation that fall within the 
Rule X jurisdiction of the Committee on Education and Labor.
    In the interest of permitting your committee to proceed

referral. I do so with the understanding that by waiving 
consideration of the bill, the Committee on Education and Labor 
does not waive any future jurisdictional claim over the subject 
matters contained in the bill which fall within its Rule X 
jurisdiction. I request that you urge the Speaker to name 
members of the Education and Labor Committee to any conference 
committee which is named to consider such provisions.
    Please place this letter into the committee report on H.R. 
7900 and into the Congressional Record during consideration of 
the measure on the House floor. Thank you for the cooperative 
spirit in which you have worked regarding this matter and 
others between our respective committees.

Hon. Adam Smith,
Chair, Committee on Armed Services,

    Dear Chair Smith: I am writing to you concerning H.R. 7900, 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023. 
There are certain provisions in the legislation that fall 
within the Rule X jurisdiction of the Committee on Natural 
Resources.
    In the interest of permitting your committee to proceed 
expeditiously to floor consideration of this important bill, I 
am willing 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 Natural Resources 
does not waive any future jurisdictional claim over the subject 
matters contained in the bill that fall within its Rule X 
jurisdiction. I request that you urge the Speaker to name 
members of this committee to any conference committee that is 
named to consider such provisions.
    Please place this letter into the committee report on H.R. 
7900 and into the Congressional Record during consideration of 
the measure on the House floor. Thank you for the cooperative 
spirit in which you have worked regarding this matter and 
others between our respective committees.

                  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

                                                     June 30, 2022.
Re: Direct Spending and Revenue Effects of H.R. 7900, the National 
        Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023
Hon. Adam Smith,
Chairman, Committee on Armed Services,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
completed an estimate of the direct spending and revenue 
effects of H.R. 7900, the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2023, as ordered reported by the House 
Committee on Armed Services on June 23, 2022. This estimate is 
based on the Committee Print 117-54 that was posted to the 
website of the House Committee on Rules on June 28, 2022. Our 
complete cost estimate of H.R. 7900, including a discussion of 
specified discretionary authorizations and mandates under the 
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act, will be provided shortly.
    Enacting the bill would have an insignificant net effect on 
direct spending and revenues each year and in total over the 
2023-2032 period, CBO estimates. One section addressing 
military lodging would increase direct spending by more than $5 
billion in the 10-year period beginning in 2033.
    Some provisions in H.R. 7900 would affect direct spending 
by between -$500,000 and $500,000 each year, generally because 
very few people would be affected, or because the proposals 
would allow the Department of Defense to collect and spend new 
receipts so that the net effect would be small. Those 
provisions primarily affect benefits for former military 
personnel such as pensions for retirees and education benefits 
for veterans, reimbursements to the Department of Defense for 
prior expenditures, and receipts from gifts and land 
conveyances.
    Other provisions in H.R. 7900 would affect revenues by 
insignificant amounts. Sections 806, 3524, and 5601 through 
5675 would change the amount of collections from penalties and 
litigation, which are classified as revenues. Section 5802 
would authorize nonimmigrant visas for certain Portuguese 
nationals. Some of those nonimmigrants would be eligible for 
health care subsidies from the federal government, a portion of 
which are classified as nonrefundable tax credits.
    Because the bill would affect direct spending and revenues, 
statutory pay-as-you-go procedures apply.
    CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 7900 would significantly 
increase on-budget deficits after 2033. Section 2814 would 
require the Navy and Air Force to privatize transient military 
lodging facilities within the United States over a 5-year 
period beginning 11 years after enactment. CBO classifies the 
costs of investments made to improve those privatized 
facilities as direct spending. Using information on the 
reported costs to improve privatized Army lodging, CBO 
estimates that enacting section 2814 would increase direct 
spending by more than $5 billion in at least one of the four 
consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2033.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Matt Schmit.
            Sincerely,
                                         Phillip L. Swagel,
                                                          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 2023 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

                           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 goals and objectives 
of H.R. 7900 are to maintain the national defense, to prepare 
the United States to meet current and future challenges to the 
national defense, and to accomplish each of those goals and 
objectives in a responsible manner.
    The bill authorizes $839.3 billion of discretionary funding 
to support national defense requirements. The bill includes 
funding to provide a 4.6 percent pay raise for service members, 
to invest in key maintenance and readiness areas, and to 
modernize the force to deter potential adversaries.
    The bill continues the longstanding work of the Committee 
on Armed Services to provide U.S. military forces with 
sufficient resources to maintain the national defense, and it 
fulfills the committee's duties under Article I, Section 8, of 
the Constitution.

                     STATEMENT OF FEDERAL MANDATES

    The committee adopts as its own the estimate of Federal 
mandates prepared by the Director of the Congressional Budget 
Office pursuant to section 423 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform 
Act.

                  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 committees authorized in the 
bill are not currently being performed, 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

    H.R. 7900 does not apply to terms and conditions of 
employment or to access to public services or accommodations 
within the legislative branch.

                    DUPLICATION OF FEDERAL PROGRAMS

    Pursuant to clause 3(c)(5) of rule XIII, no provision of 
H.R. 7900 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.

                            COMMITTEE VOTES

    In accordance with clause 3(b) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, recorded votes were taken with 
respect to the committee's consideration of H.R. 7900. The 
record of these votes is contained in the following pages.
    The committee ordered H.R. 7900 to be reported to the House 
with a favorable recommendation by a vote of 57-1 a quorum 
being present.
