                           COMMITTEE OVERVIEW

    Each year, the National Defense Authorization Act 
authorizes funding levels and provides authorities for the U.S. 
military and other critical defense priorities, ensuring our 
troops have the training, equipment, and resources they need to 
carry out their missions. On June 16, 2022, the Senate Armed 
Services Committee voted in bipartisan fashion, 23-3, to 
advance the James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2023 to the Senate floor.
    The national security challenges before the United States 
are momentous. In its 2022 National Defense Strategy, the 
Department of Defense (DOD) judges that China is the ``most 
consequential strategic competitor and the pacing challenge for 
the Department,'' and identifies Russia as an ``acute threat.'' 
These global rivals do not accept the international norms that 
have helped maintain peace and stability for the better part of 
a century, and our long-term strategic competition with China 
and Russia is likely to intensify. Even as the United States 
navigates this competition, the Department of Defense must also 
manage persistent threats such as North Korea, Iran, and 
violent terrorist organizations. The interconnected nature of 
these and other threats will drive how the United States 
resources and transforms its tools of national power to rise to 
the challenge. The passage of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2023 is an important step 
toward achieving that goal.
    To that end, the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2023:
          (1) Supports the DOD in its mission to meet the 
        objectives of the 2022 National Defense Strategy, 
        including defending the U.S. Homeland; deterring 
        adversaries; prevailing in long-term strategic 
        competition; and building a resilient Joint Force.
          (2) Strengthens the all-volunteer force and improves 
        the quality of life of the men and women of the total 
        force (Active Duty, National Guard, and Reserves), 
        their families, and DOD civilian personnel as they 
        fulfill their solemn oath to the Constitution of the 
        United States.
          (3) Provides our military services and combatant 
        commanders with the resources needed to carry out the 
        National Defense Strategy and out-compete, deter, and, 
        if necessary, prevail against near-peer rivals.
          (4) Enhances deterrence by recapitalizing and 
        modernizing the U.S. nuclear triad; ensuring the 
        safety, security, and reliability of our nuclear 
        stockpile, delivery systems, and infrastructure; 
        increasing capacity in theater and Homeland missile 
        defense; and strengthening nonproliferation programs.
    Meeting the challenges before the United States will 
require bold and far-sighted national security decisions. The 
James M. Inhofe National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2023 ensures that we have the policies and resources to 
deter America's adversaries, reassure our allies, and provide 
our forces with the tools and capabilities to overcome threats 
around the globe.

                 BUDGETARY EFFECTS OF THIS ACT (SEC. 4)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require 
that the budgetary effects of this Act be determined in 
accordance with the procedures established in the Statutory 
Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 (title I of Public Law 111-139).

     SUMMARY OF DISCRETIONARY AUTHORIZATIONS AND BUDGET AUTHORITY 
                              IMPLICATION

    The administration's budget request for national defense 
discretionary programs within the jurisdiction of the Senate 
Committee on Armed Services for fiscal year 2023 was $773.0 
billion for base Department of Defense (DOD) programs and $29.4 
billion for national security programs in the Department of 
Energy (DOE).
    The committee recommends an overall discretionary 
authorization of $857.46 billion in fiscal year 2023, including 
$817.15 billion for base DOD programs, $29.71 billion for 
national security programs in the DOE, and $10.6 billion for 
defense-related activities outside the jurisdiction of the 
NDAA.
    The table preceding the detailed program adjustments in 
Division D of this bill summarizes the direct discretionary 
authorizations in the committee recommendation and the 
equivalent budget authority levels for fiscal year 2023 defense 
programs. The table summarizes the committee's recommended 
discretionary authorizations by appropriation account for 
fiscal year 2023 and compares these amounts to the request.

            DIVISION A--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AUTHORIZATIONS

                          TITLE I--PROCUREMENT

              Subtitle A--Authorization of Appropriations

Authorization of appropriations (sec. 101)
    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the appropriations for procurement activities at the levels 
identified in section 4101 of division D of this Act.

                       Subtitle B--Army Programs

Limitations on production of Extended Range Cannon Artillery howitzers 
        (sec. 111)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
post-prototype production strategy for Extended Range Cannon 
Artillery howitzers to be based on a full and open competitive 
approach that considers the comparative cost and value of a 
new-build versus Paladin-modification production approach. The 
provision would require the Secretary of the Army to certify 
compliance of the acquisition strategy and provide a briefing 
to the congressional defense committees prior to issuing a 
Request for Proposal for post-prototype procurement.

                       Subtitle C--Navy Programs

DDG(X) destroyer program (sec. 121)
    The committee recommends a provision that would prescribe 
certain aspects of the DDG(X) destroyer program.
    The committee urges the Secretary of the Navy to implement 
an acquisition strategy for the next large surface combatant, 
known as DDG(X), based on a collaborative design, development, 
and production approach between the Government and industry.
    The committee notes that many recent Navy shipbuilding 
programs, including the DDG-1000 and Littoral Combat Ship 
programs, experienced significant cost increases, program 
delays, and reliability issues due to flaws in the earliest 
acquisition strategies.
    Accordingly, the committee believes it is critical that the 
Navy work closely with industry to ensure appropriate design 
and technical maturity in developing lead ship acquisition 
strategies. The committee further believes that the DDG(X) 
acquisition strategy should be modeled on and leverage the best 
practices of the Columbia-class Integrated Product and Process 
Development (IPPD) contract, with integrated lines of effort in 
design, technology maturation, and construction. Furthermore, 
the committee views the technology maturation initiatives 
contained in section 124 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) as key elements in 
the DDG(X) acquisition strategy.
    The committee also directs the Secretary of the Navy to 
submit a report to the congressional defense committees with 
the budget request for fiscal year 2024 that describes the 
extent to which the Navy will utilize an IPPD-type acquisition 
strategy for the DDG(X) program. This report shall describe the 
following lines of effort and how they will be integrated from 
fiscal year 2023 through fiscal year 2040: (1) Ship design, 
including concept, preliminary, and detailed; (2) Hull form 
design and selection; (3) Combat systems, including lessons 
learned from DDG-125 Combat Systems Ship's Qualification 
Trials; (4) Hull, mechanical and electrical systems, including 
the land-based testing required under section 131 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020; and 
(5) Construction, including the transition from production of 
the Flight III DDG-51 program to the DDG(X) program.
Multiyear procurement authority for Arleigh Burke-class destroyers 
        (sec. 122)
    The committee recommends a provision that would provide the 
Secretary of the Navy with the authority to enter into one or 
more multiyear contracts for the procurement of up to 15 
Arleigh Burke-class guided missile destroyers. The provision 
would also require the Secretary to negotiate priced options to 
procure one destroyer in each of fiscal years 2023 through 2027 
in addition to the destroyers procured under such contract or 
contracts.
    The committee notes this would be the fifth multiyear 
contract for the Arleigh Burke-class program. The Navy 
estimates that each of the previous four multiyear procurement 
contracts (fiscal years 1998-2001, 2002-2005, 2013-2017, and 
2018-2022) achieved savings of greater than $1.0 billion, as 
compared to annual procurements.
    In exercising the authority provided by this provision, the 
committee expects the Navy to request a minimum of two Arleigh 
Burke-class destroyers annually in fiscal years 2023 through 
2027 consistent with the procurement profile in the fiscal year 
2023 budget request, negotiate an additional priced option ship 
in each of these years as would be required by this provision, 
and achieve contract savings not less than previous Arleigh 
Burke-class multiyear procurement contracts.
Block buy contracts for Ship-to-Shore Connector program (sec. 123)
    The committee recommends a provision that would permit the 
Navy to enter into one or more block buy contracts for up to 10 
Ship-to-Shore Connector class craft.
    The committee notes the Navy has stated this proposal would 
promote industrial base stability, production efficiencies, and 
cost savings when compared to a base contract plus options via 
annual procurement cost estimate.
    Consistent with committee precedent and other multi-year 
procurement authorities, this provision would authorize up to 
the number of craft that would be procured in the future years 
defense program.
Procurement authorities for John Lewis-class fleet replenishment oiler 
        ships (sec. 124)
    The committee recommends a provision that would allow the 
Secretary of the Navy to enter into one or more contracts for 
the procurement of not more than eight John Lewis-class fleet 
replenishment oiler ships.
Tomahawk cruise missile capability on FFG-62 class vessels (sec. 125)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of the Navy to ensure FFG-62 class vessels are 
capable of carrying and employing Tomahawk cruise missiles.
    The committee notes the Navy is developing and fielding 
``virtualized'' weapons control system technology, including 
systems to support its vision for Tomahawk-capable unmanned 
surface vessels. The committee believes the FFG-62 class should 
include optimized Tomahawk Weapons System hardware and 
software, which would both provide a necessary lethality 
increase for the FFG-62 class and serve as a key technical risk 
reduction advance in realizing Tomahawk-capable USVs. The 
committee believes that jumping directly to Tomahawk-capable 
USVs without first having ensured that the FFG-62 class is 
Tomahawk-capable presents excessive technical risk in such USV 
programs.
Navy shipbuilding workforce development initiative (sec. 126)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
incorporation of a Navy shipbuilding workforce development 
initiative in certain contracts.
    The committee notes that a Department of Defense report in 
response to section 1029 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public 
Law 116-283) found, ``The [Navy] shipbuilding industry faces a 
significant challenge in achieving and sustaining required 
workforce levels, and the industrial base today lacks the 
resiliency and bench strength to meet required demand. A 
consistent demand for skilled labor is essential and must be 
accomplished through shipbuilding policies that span 10-to-20-
year periods . . . Current efforts to establish, accelerate, 
and grow the labor workforce are imperative to shipbuilding 
execution and must be adequately resourced, prioritized, 
scaled, and maintained over the next 20+ years. Workforce 
investments must focus on enterprise vice single vendor 
shortfalls. The shipbuilding enterprise must reimagine 
traditional approaches to manpower and bridge disconnects 
between school-based education and defense skillsets.''
    The committee shares the concerns raised in this report 
regarding the ability of the Navy shipbuilding workforce to 
meet current and projected demands over the next 20 years. In 
the committee's view, the situation has not improved since that 
report. Accordingly, the committee supports this provision as a 
bold initiative that could provide an additional avenue to 
ensure approved Navy workforce development initiatives receive 
adequate funding.
Extension of prohibition on availability of funds for Navy port 
        waterborne security barriers (sec. 127)
    The committee recommends a provision that would extend the 
prohibition on availability of funds for purchasing Navy 
waterborne security barriers.
    The committee is encouraged by the transition of the 
waterborne security barrier (WSBs) program to the Program 
Executive Office for Ships, with competitive solicitations 
planned for existing and next generation WSBs. The committee 
continues to support full-and-open competition for WSBs to the 
maximum extent practicable.
Limitation on retirement of E-6B aircraft (sec. 128)
    The committee recommends a provision that would prohibit 
the Secretary of the Navy from taking any action that would 
prevent the Navy from maintaining the fleet of E-6B aircraft in 
the configuration and capability in effect as of the date of 
the enactment of this Act, until the date on which the Chair of 
the Joint Requirements Oversight Council certifies in writing 
to the congressional defense committees that the replacement 
capability for the E-6B would be fielded at the same time or 
before the retirement of the E-6B, and would result in equal or 
greater capability available to the commanders of the combatant 
commands.
    The committee is concerned that the current configuration 
of the E-6B to support the role of the National Airborne 
Operations Center would be retired prematurely before an 
equivalent capability is fielded.
EA-18G aircraft (sec. 129)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require: 
(1) The Secretary of the Navy to retain rather than retire the 
EA-18G aircraft; (2) The Secretary of the Navy to transfer EA-
18Gs in expeditionary electronic attack squadrons to the Navy 
Reserve Air Forces; (3) The Secretary of the Air Force to 
designate one or more units from the Air National Guard or Air 
Force Reserve to join with the Navy Reserve to establish joint 
service expeditionary, land-based electronic attack squadrons 
to match the capability of such squadrons currently assigned to 
Naval Station Whidbey Island, Washington; and (4) The Secretary 
of the Navy and the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a 
report on the plan of the Secretaries to implement this section 
to the congressional defense committees, not later than 120 
days after the date of the enactment of this Act.
    The committee is disappointed that the Navy would spring a 
decision to eliminate the expeditionary electronic warfare 
aircraft squadrons, with little or no coordination with the Air 
Force or the combatant commanders who rely extensively on these 
squadrons for electronic warfare support. Establishing joint-
service units in the reserve components, modeled on the current 
operations of the expeditionary EA-18G squadrons, would 
modernize the reserve components, preserve similar capability 
to provide land-based electronic warfare capability to the 
combatant commanders, and save costs.
Block buy contracts for CH-53K heavy lift helicopter program (sec. 130)
    The committee recommends a provision that would permit the 
Navy to enter into one or more block buy contracts for the CH-
53K program across fiscal years 2023 and 2024.

                     Subtitle D--Air Force Programs

Prohibition on certain reductions to inventory of E-3 airborne warning 
        and control system aircraft (sec. 141)
    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the Secretary of the Air Force to retire certain E-3 Airborne 
Warning and Control System (AWACS) aircraft. The committee is 
concerned that with the proposed Air Force divestment of E-3 
AWACS, there will be a significant gap in airborne command and 
control capability to support the joint force. The committee 
understands, however, that the current fleet has become 
prohibitively expensive to maintain. While the Air Force should 
have had more foresight about the degradation of the E-3 and 
should have taken steps to correct the situation a decade ago, 
the committee is encouraged that the Air Force is finally 
moving to modernize this capability. In the committee's view, 
however, the Air Force's timeline for fielding a replacement 
capability is not fast enough to justify divestment of 15 E-3 
AWACS immediately without a solid plan to replace that 
essential capability.
    Therefore, the committee recommends a provision that would 
prohibit the Air Force divesting more than five E-3 AWACS 
aircraft, until the Air Force achieves the following 
milestones:
          (1) When the Air Force Senior Acquisition Executive 
        approves a detailed acquisition strategy and briefs 
        that strategy to the congressional defense committees, 
        the Secretary could retire five additional aircraft, 
        for a total of 10 aircraft.
          (2) When the Air Force signs a contract to purchase 
        an aircraft to replace the E-3 aircraft being retired, 
        and briefs the contracted acquisition plan to the 
        congressional defense committees, the Secretary could 
        retire five additional aircraft, for a total of 15 
        aircraft.
    The provision would not authorize additional E-3 
divestments beyond 15 aircraft.
Modification of inventory requirements for air refueling tanker 
        aircraft (sec. 142)
    The committee recommends a provision that would allow the 
Air Force to retire 13 KC-135 tankers in addition to the KC-135 
retirements permitted in previous legislation.
Prohibition on reductions to inventory of F-22 Block 20 aircraft (sec. 
        143)
    The committee recommends a provision that would prohibit 
the retirement of F-22 Block 20 aircraft and relocation of the 
F-22 Block 30 until the Secretary of the Air Force submits: (1) 
A detailed written plan for accomplishing formal training for 
F-22 aircrew that would avoid any degradation in readiness or 
reduction in combat capability; and (2) An explanation for the 
future laydown of the F-22 Block 30 and how that supports the 
Air Force's mission.
    The Air Force has proposed to retire all F-22 Block 20 
aircraft in fiscal year 2023. These Block 20 aircraft are now 
being used in training F-22 aircrews. The committee is 
concerned the proposed divestment of F-22 Block 20 aircraft may 
hinder the ability of the Air Force to train F-22 aircrews. The 
absence of the F-22 Block 20 aircraft would require that the 
Air Force divert frontline F-22 aircraft from other missions to 
support training activities outside the normal duties of 
combat-coded units. The concern is that this diversion would 
have a deleterious effect on the combat-coded units, leading to 
a net reduction in combat capability.
    The committee understands that the Air Force subsequently 
intends to backfill units operating F-22 Block 20 aircraft with 
F-22 Block 30 aircraft temporarily assigned to other fighter 
squadrons. The committee is also concerned that the 
reallocation of Block 30 aircraft may leave squadrons with 
diminished combat effectiveness, exacerbate aircraft 
availability concerns, and further complicate aircraft squadron 
maintenance issues.

       Subtitle E--Defense-Wide, Joint, and Multiservice Matters

Parts for commercial derivative aircraft and engines and aircraft based 
        on commercial design (sec. 151)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of the Air Force and the Secretary of the Navy to 
fully implement best practices used by the commercial aviation 
industry for considering sources of spare parts supply. This 
provision would require the Secretaries to include Federal 
Aviation Administration (FAA)-certified airworthy used, 
overhauled, reconditioned, or remanufactured commercial common 
parts in their supply chain for all Department of Defense (DOD) 
commercial derivative aircraft and engines, as well as in 
aircraft that are based on commercial design. The FAA-certified 
part suppliers to the Department would be required to meet the 
requirements of part 145 of title 14, Code of Federal 
Regulations, and would be considered based on price and 
quality. The committee recognizes that the DOD already 
purchases FAA-certified used parts for many platforms, but 
believes expanding the practice across all relevant fleets 
could generate significant operations and maintenance savings 
and increase the availability of spare parts.
Assessment and strategy for fielding counter unmanned aerial systems 
        swarm capabilities (sec. 152)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to conduct an assessment and develop and 
implement a strategy to field systems to counter threats posed 
by unmanned aerial system (UAS) swarms. The proliferation of 
unmanned aerial systems and the ability to operate them in 
swarms poses a significant threat to the Joint Force. The 
committee applauds the Department of Defense's focus on rapid 
development and fielding of counter-UAS capabilities, but seeks 
to accelerate fielding of capabilities that could counter UAS 
swarms.

Treatment of nuclear modernization and hypersonic missile programs 
        within Defense Priorities and Allocations System (sec. 153)

    The committee recommends a provision that would express the 
sense of the Senate that deterrence requires a credible nuclear 
force and robust missile forces, and that the Secretaries of 
Defense and Energy should leverage all available tools to 
reduce the risk of schedule delays in nuclear modernization and 
hypersonic missile programs. The provision would also include 
reporting and certification requirements.

Government Accountability Office assessment of efforts to modernize 
        propulsion systems of the F-35 aircraft (sec. 154)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a review of 
the business case analysis that the F-35 Joint Program Office 
is conducting on possible alternatives for upgrading F-35 
propulsion systems.

                              Budget Items


                                  Army


Southern Command hyperspectral imagery sensors

    The budget request included $21.4 million in line number 19 
of Aircraft Procurement, Army (APA) for Multi Sensor Airborne 
Recon.
    The committee recognizes that U.S. Southern Command 
(SOUTHCOM) has employed hyperspectral imagery (HSI) sensors 
effectively in detecting and identifying illegal narcotic 
production and transnational criminal organization activity and 
supports building SOUTHCOM's HSI sensor capability.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $5.2 
million in line number 19 of APA for hyperspectral imagery 
sensors for SOUTHCOM.

Increase for inflation effects

    The committee recommends an increase of $13.0 billion for 
inflation effects, of which $678.9 million is distributed among 
the Army Procurement accounts.

Increase for munitions

    The committee recommends an increase of $2.6 billion for 
acceleration of munitions production and capacity expansion, of 
which $1.4 billion is for Missile Procurement, Army programs, 
to include Hellfires, Joint Air-to-Ground Missiles, Javelins, 
Guided Multiple Launch Rocket Systems, High Mobility Artillery 
Rocket Systems, Army Tactical Missile Systems, Stinger 
refurbishment, and advanced procurement for critical munition 
components.

Paladin Integrated Management

    The budget request included $493.0 million in line number 7 
of Procurement of Weapons and Tracked Combat Vehicles (WTCV) 
for Paladin Integrated Management (PIM).
    The committee recognizes the critical importance of 
modernizing the Paladin as the Army's only armored self-
propelled howitzer within Armored Brigade Combat Teams. 
Returning to a higher planned production rate and quantity 
permits the Army to stay on schedule to field two battalions 
per year and avoid a nearly 20 percent per-unit cost increase 
at the reduced fiscal year 2023 budget request quantity.
    Accordingly, the committee recommends an increase of $195.0 
million in line number 7 of WTCV for PIM.

Army unfunded requirements

    In accordance with section 222a of title 10, United States 
Code, the Chief of Staff of the Army and the combatant 
commanders each submitted a list of unfunded requirements. The 
committee recommends an additional increase of $864.6 million 
for items on these unfunded requirements list.

U.S. Africa Command physical security systems

    The budget request included $102.6 million in line number 
166 of Other Procurement, Army (OPA) for Physical Security 
Systems.
    The committee notes that U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) 
identified force protection of deployed forces as an unfunded 
priority.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $14.2 
million in OPA line number 166 for AFRICOM physical security 
systems and an increase of $1.3 million in OPA line number 54, 
Base Support Communications, for force protection investments.

Tactical Intelligence Targeting Access Node realignment of funds

    The budget request included $84.8 million in line number 62 
of Other Procurement, Army (OPA) for Tactical Intelligence 
Targeting Access Node (TITAN).
    The committee has been informed that updated program 
estimates require realignment of funds to TITAN Research, 
Development, Test, and Evaluation, Army (RDA) and Distributed 
Common Ground Systems-Army (DCGS A) procurement.
    Therefore, the committee recommends a decrease of $84.8 
million in line number 62 of OPA as ahead of need for TITAN 
procurement.
    The committee recommends an increase of $50.9 million in 
RDA PE 65148A for TITAN prototype development.
    The committee recommends an increase of $19.7 million in 
OPA line number 66 for DCGS A procurement.

Terrestrial Layer System--Brigade Combat Team realignment of funds

    The budget request included $88.9 million in line number 64 
of Other Procurement, Army (OPA) for Terrestrial Layer Systems 
(TLS).
    The committee has been informed that the Army modified its 
plan to build an additional three prototypes to complete the 
equipment set for the first brigade, which will support 
operational evaluations and development and inform the rapid 
fielding decision.
    Therefore, the committee recommends a decrease of $38.0 
million in line number 68 of OPA and an increase of $38.0 
million in Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Army PE 
34270A Electronic Warfare Development for Terrestrial Layer 
System--Brigade Combat Team.

Watercraft Modernization Service Life Extension Program

    The budget request included $47.9 million in line number 
151 of Other Procurement, Army (OPA) for Army Watercraft.
    Army watercraft are essential to the effective conduct of 
dynamic force employment in competition and contested logistics 
in conflict.
    The committee recommends an increase of $14.1 million in 
OPA line number 151 for the Watercraft Service Life Extension 
Program.

                                  Navy


Navy unfunded requirements

    In accordance with section 222a of title 10, United States 
Code, the Chief of Naval Operations of the Navy, the Commandant 
of the Marine Corps, and the combatant commanders each 
submitted a list of unfunded requirements. The committee 
recommends an additional increase of $2.2 billion for items on 
these unfunded requirements list.

Increase for inflation effects

    The committee recommends an increase of $13.0 billion for 
inflation effects, of which $2.0 billion is distributed among 
the Navy and Marine Corps Procurement accounts.

Increase for munitions

    The committee recommends an increase of $2.6 billion for 
acceleration of munitions production and capacity expansion, of 
which $675.4 million is for Weapons Procurement, Navy and 
Procurement, Marine Corps programs, to include the Standard 
Missile-6, Long Range Anti-Ship Missile, Advanced Anti-
Radiation Guided Missile-Extended Range, Mk54, and Naval Strike 
Missile.

Hypersonic test facility

    The budget request included $2.0 million in line number 22 
of Weapons Procurement, Navy (WPN) for Weapons Industrial 
Facilities.
    The committee believes that further investment in 
hypersonic test infrastructure is vital to the rapid fielding 
of emerging hypersonic weapons technologies.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $25.0 
million in line 22 of WPN for a hypersonic test facility.

Surface combatant supplier development

    The budget request included $618.4 in line number 11 of 
Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy (SCN) for advance procurement 
for the DDG 51 destroyer program.
    The committee notes that elements of the surface combatant 
industrial base continue to struggle to support the demands of 
the Navy's future shipbuilding plan.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $250.0 
million in line number 11 of SCN for surface combatant supplier 
development efforts, which may include the purchase of long 
lead time material.

LHA-9 quantity adjustment

    The budget request included $1.1 billion in line number 20 
of Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy (SCN) for LHA Replacement. 
The budget documentation also includes a quantity of one for 
LHA-9.
    This is in direct violation of section 126 of the William 
M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283), which stated that the 
quantity shown for Navy vessels would be shown in the year that 
the Congress authorizes and appropriates funding to buy a 
vessel. The Congress authorized construction and appropriated 
funds for construction of LHA-9 in fiscal year 2020.
    Therefore, the funding tables have been adjusted to reflect 
that the Navy budget documentation incorrectly included a 
``one'' in the quantity column.

Auxiliary personnel lighters barracks craft

    The budget request included $68.3 million in line number 29 
of Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy (SCN) for Service Craft.
    The committee notes small Auxiliary Personnel Lighters 
(APL) barracks craft provide critical berthing and messing 
facilities for sailors when their ships are in port for 
maintenance availabilities and inter-deployment training 
cycles. Thirteen of the 17 existing APL craft were built 
between 1944 and 1946. They do not meet safety standards, are 
not dual gender compatible, and lack modern communications 
capabilities. Additional new APL craft will greatly improve 
sailors' quality of life and improve safety during 
availabilities.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $23.0 
million to procure one additional APL in SCN line number 29.

Next Generation Surface Search Radar

    The budget request included $102.8 million in line number 
72 of Other Procurement, Navy (OPN), for items less than $5 
million, including $44.1 million to upgrade existing radars to 
the AN/SPS-73(V)18 Next Generation Surface Search Radar (NGSSR) 
configuration. This upgrade leads to having better readiness of 
Navy radar systems.
    The committee recommends an additional $58.5 million in OPN 
line 72 to accelerate upgrades of Navy radars to the NGSSR 
configuration.

Sonobuoys

    The budget request included $291.7 million in line number 
94 of Other Procurement, Navy (OPN), to purchase sonobuoys. In 
recent years, the Navy has been having to expend sonobuoys at 
higher-than-historical rates to support peacetime operations.
    The committee believes that the Navy should increase 
sonobuoy production and recommends an increase of $40.0 million 
in line number 94 of OPN for that purpose.

                               Air Force


Air Force unfunded requirements

    In accordance with section 222a of title 10, United States 
Code, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, the Chief of Space 
Operations, and the combatant commanders each submitted a list 
of unfunded requirements. The committee recommends an 
additional increase of $2.3 billion for items on these unfunded 
requirements list.

F-35 realignment of funds

    The budget request included $594.9 million in line number 4 
of Aircraft Procurement, Air Force (APAF) for F-35 advance 
procurement.
    The committee has been informed that $115.0 million of this 
advance procurement funding for this program should have been 
requested in the full funding line.
    Therefore, the committee recommends a decrease of $115.0 
million in line number 4 of APAF and a corresponding increase 
of $115.0 million in line number 3 of APAF for F-35 full 
funding.

UH-1 Replacement/MH-139 Grey Wolf

    The budget request included $156.2 million in line 12 of 
Aircraft Procurement, Air Force (APAF), to purchase five MH-139 
helicopters. These helicopters will replace the U.S. Air Force 
fleet of UH-1N aircraft to address capability gaps in speed, 
range, endurance, payload capacity, and aircraft self-
protection. The committee believes that the Air Force should 
replace the UH-1N fleet expeditiously.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $100.0 
million in line number 12 of APAF to purchase three additional 
aircraft.

Combat Rescue Helicopter

    The budget request included $707.0 million in line number 
13 of Aircraft Procurement, Air Force (APAF), to buy 10 Combat 
Rescue Helicopters (HH-60W). The Air Force has announced plans 
to truncate the HH-60W program with the fiscal year 2023 
purchases. That would leave the Air Force roughly 40 
helicopters short of its original inventory objective for 
combat rescue helicopters.
    The committee is concerned that the Air Force is ignoring 
the fact that these aircraft are already high demand/low 
density assets, and that buying fewer will only exacerbate the 
situation. Since the Air Force has not provided any analysis 
that would support the planned reduction in inventory, the 
committee urges the Department to restore aircraft quantities 
originally planned.
    The committee recommends an increase of $350.0 million in 
line number 13 of APAF to buy an additional 10 HH-60W 
helicopters.

E-11 Battlefield Airborne Communications Node realignment of funds

    The budget request included $0.4 million in line number 18 
of Aircraft Procurement, Air Force (APAF) for the E-11 
Battlefield Airborne Communications Node (BACN).
    The committee has been informed that funding for this 
program should have been requested in a different line number.
    Therefore, the committee recommends a decrease of $0.4 
million in APAF line number 18 and a corresponding increase of 
$0.4 million in APAF line number 64 for Other Aircraft for the 
E-11 BACN.

B-52 Crypto Modernization realignment of funds

    The budget request included $4.3 million in line number 24 
of Aircraft Procurement, Air Force (APAF) for B-52 Crypto 
Modernization upgrade spares.
    The committee has been informed that funding for this 
program should have been requested in a different line number.
    Therefore, the committee recommends a decrease of $4.3 
million in line number 24 of APAF and a corresponding increase 
of $4.3 million in line number 69 of APAF.

B-52 spares realignment of funds

    The budget request included $2.7 million in line number 24 
of Aircraft Procurement, Air Force (APAF) for B-52 VLF/LF 
spares.
    The committee has been informed that funding for this 
program should have been requested in a different line number.
    Therefore, the committee recommends a decrease of $2.7 
million in line number 24 of APAF and a corresponding increase 
of $2.7 million in line number 69 of APAF.

Air Force cryptographic modernization

    Elsewhere in this report, the committee describes a 
recommended provision that would require the Department of 
Defense to provide a separate budget display that provides a 
transparent aggregation of the status of cryptographic system 
modernization. To assist in addressing the urgent need to fund 
the replacement of obsolete cryptography, the committee 
recommends an increase of $94.4 million for Air Force 
cryptographic modernization.
    The committee recommends the following increases for 
cryptographic modernization:
          (1) $3.9 million in Research, Development, Test, and 
        Evaluation, Air Force (RDAF) for PE 65278F for AC-130J;
          (2) $2.1 million in line number 63 of Aircraft 
        Procurement, Air Force (APAF) for AC-130J;

        135;
          (12) $4.8 million in RDAF for PE 41218F for KC-135;
          (13) $6.7 million in line number 49 of APAF for C-
        130H;
          (14) $5.9 million in line number 51 of APAF for KC-
        135 (ROBE B-Kits); and
          (15) $21.6 million in line number 11 of Procurement, 
        Space Force for National Security Space Systems.

C-5 maintenance training simulator realignment of funds

    The budget request included $18.0 million in line number 35 
of Aircraft Procurement, Air Force (APAF) to create a new C-5 
post-production support line.
    The committee has been informed that funding for this 
program should have been requested in a different line number.
    Therefore, the committee recommends a decrease of $18.0 
million in APAF line number 35 and a corresponding increase of 
$18.0 million in APAF line number 84.

C-5 training systems realignment of funds

    The budget request included $12.4 million in line number 35 
of Aircraft Procurement, Air Force (APAF) for C-5 training 
systems.
    The committee has been informed that funding for this 
program should have been requested in a different line number.
    Therefore, the committee recommends a decrease of $12.4 
million in APAF line number 35 APAF and a corresponding 
increase of $12.4 million in line number 64 of APAF.

Aircraft efficiency modifications realignment of funds

    The budget request included $42.5 million in Research, 
Development, Test, and Evaluation, Air Force (RDAF) for PE 
64858F Tech Transition Program.
    The committee has been informed that funding for this 
program should have been requested in a different account.
    Therefore, the committee recommends a decrease of $42.5 
million in RDAF PE 64858F and a corresponding increase of $5.5 
million in line number 36 of Aircraft Procurement, Air Force 
(APAF), $17.5 million in line number 49 of APAF, and $19.5 
million in line number 51 of APAF.

T-38A Ejection Seat Upgrades

    The budget request included $111.7 million for T-38 
aircraft in line number 42 of Aircraft Procurement, Air Force 
(APAF).
    The committee recognizes that, although the T-38A is an 
aging aircraft, it remains the workhorse of the pilot training 
fleet. Because of this, the committee understands that T-38A 
ejection seat upgrades remain essential for the safety of pilot 
trainees and instructors. An upgrade to the existing seats for 
T-38A would allow the Air Force to meet modern safety 
requirement for all Air Force pilots.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $9.2 
million in line number 42 of APAF to upgrade of T-38A aircraft 
ejection seats.

HC/MC 130-J modifications realignment of funds

    The budget request included $139.0 million in line number 
63 of Aircraft Procurement, Air Force (APAF) for HC/MC-130 
Modifications.
    The committee has been informed that $20.0 million should 
have been requested in a different line number.
    Therefore, the committee recommends a decrease of $20.0 
million in line number 63 of APAF and a corresponding increase 
of $20.0 million in line number 85 of APAF.

RC-135 Navigation Updates

    The budget request included $212.8 million in Aircraft 
Procurement, Air Force (APAF) for line number 53 for RC-135.
    The committee recognizes the need to bring the RC-135 fleet 
into compliance with mandates to modernize GPS and other 
navigation capabilities, and to address navigation system 
obsolescence by replacement. It is the committee's view that 
these replacement actions are needed to ensure the fleet 
operates independently without needing externally derived 
positioning, navigation, and timing information.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $39.4 
million in line number 53 of APAF to conduct these key 
navigation updates.

RC-135 spares

    The budget request included $1.0 billion in line number 69 
of Aircraft Procurement, Air Force (APAF), for initial spares 
and repair parts.
    The committee believes that additional effort is needed to 
provide proper support for the RC-135 fleet for GPS and other 
equipment to ensure the fleet operates independently without 
needing externally derived position, navigation, and timing 
information for future operations.
    Therefore, the committee recommend an increase of $27.3 
million in line number 69 of APAF for RC-135 spares.

Increase for inflation effects

    The committee recommends an increase of $13.0 billion for 
inflation effects, of which $1.0 billion is distributed among 
the Air Force and Space Force Procurement accounts.

Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon realignment of funds

    The budget request included $46.6 million in line 6 of 
Missile Procurement, Air Force (MPAF) for the AGM-183A Air-
Launched Rapid Response Weapon.
    The Air Force has requested that these funds be realigned 
to Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Air Force 
(RDAF) to mitigate risk and provide the ability to incorporate 
flight test discoveries.
    Therefore, the committee recommends a decrease of $46.6 
million in line 6 of MPAF, and a corresponding increase of 
$46.6 million in PE 64033F in RDAF for Hypersonics Prototyping.

Increase for munitions

    The committee recommends an increase of $2.6 billion for 
acceleration of munitions production and capacity expansion, of 
which $430.0 million is for Missile Procurement, Air Force 
programs, to include the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile, 
Air Intercept Missile-9X, and Advanced Medium-Range Air-to-Air 
Missile.

Resilient Missile Warning Missile Tracking--Space Development Agency 
        Launch realignment of funds

    The budget request included $390.6 million in Research, 
Development, Test, and Evaluation, Space Force (RDSF) for PE 
1206448SF Resilient Missile Warning Missile Tracking--
Integrated Ground Segment.
    The committee has been informed by the Air Force that 
updated program estimates require realignment of funds.
    Therefore, the committee recommends a decrease of $200.0 
million in RDSF PE 1206448SF and a corresponding increase of 
$200.0 million in line 20 of Procurement, Space Force for Space 
Development Agency Launch.

Worldwide Joint Strategic Communications realignment of funds

    The budget request included $7.1 million in line number 23 
of Other Procurement, Air Force (OPAF), Strategic Command and 
Control, for the Worldwide Joint Strategic Communications 
program.
    The committee has been informed that funding for this 
program should have been requested in a different account.
    Therefore, the committee recommends a decrease of $7.1 
million in OPAF line 23 and an increase of $7.1 million in 
Operation and Maintenance, Air Force SAG 12A Global Command, 
Control, Communications, and Intelligence and Early Warning.

                              Defense Wide


Standard Missile-3 Block IIA

    The budget request included $338.0 million in line number 
35 of Procurement, Defense-wide (PDW) to procure 10 Standard 
Missile-3 (SM-3) Block IIA missiles.
    The committee recommends an increase of $252.0 million in 
PDW line number 35 for eight additional SM-3 Block IIA missiles 
and $63.0 million for SM-3 Block IIA test equipment to increase 
production capacity to 36 missiles per year.

Project Spectrum

    The budget request included $62.3 million in line number 50 
of Procurement, Defense-wide (PDW) for the Mentor Protege 
Program.
    The committee supports ongoing efforts of the Office of 
Small Business Programs to create and maintain Project 
Spectrum, a comprehensive platform providing small businesses 
with cybersecurity information, tools, training, and resources 
at no cost to them.
    The committee remains concerned that small businesses 
struggle with responding to evolving government cybersecurity 
requirements with limited staff and few resources. Added to 
that challenge, these small businesses are also largely unaware 
of or given opportunities to understand foreign ownership, 
control, influence, and investment (FOCI) risks to their 
businesses and their intellectual property. A big part of 
combatting FOCI risk is education.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $30.0 
million in line number 50 of PDW for the Mentor Protege Program 
for continued development of Project Spectrum for small 
business cybersecurity education, as well as FOCI training, 
education, tools, and resources.

Maritime scalable effects

    The budget request included $151.2 million in Procurement, 
Defense-wide (PDW) line number 70 Ordnance Items less than $5 
million.
    The committee supports prioritization of resources to 
address capability gaps, particularly those that ensure U.S. 
Special Operations Forces maintain superiority relative to 
long-term strategic competitors, and notes that the Commander, 
U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), has identified the 
acceleration of maritime scalable effects as an unfunded 
requirement.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $3.7 
million in PDW line number 70 for acceleration of SOCOM 
maritime scalable effects.

Maritime Precision Engagement realignment of funds

    The budget request included $82.6 million in Research, 
Development, Test, and Evaluation, Defense-wide (RDDW) for PE 
1160483BB Maritime Systems. The budget request also included 
$85.6 million in line number 74 of Procurement, Defense-wide 
(PDW) for Combatant Craft Systems.
    The committee notes that U.S. Special Operations Command 
identified executability issues with the fielding of Maritime 
Precision Engagement capabilities as planned in fiscal year 
2023 and requested a realignment of $5.4 million from 
procurement to research, development, test, and evaluation.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $5.4 
million in RDDW for PE 1160483BB and a corresponding decrease 
of $5.4 million in line number 74 of PDW for Combatant Craft 
Systems.

Increase for inflation effects

    The committee recommends an increase of $13.0 billion for 
inflation effects, of which $208.3 million is distributed among 
the Defense-wide Procurement accounts.

                       Items of Special Interest


Air Force management of the airborne battle manager career field

    The budget request included a plan to retire seven more 
Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System (JSTARS) 
aircraft in fiscal year 2023. The Air Force intends to replace 
the capabilities of the JSTARS fleet with the Advanced Battle 
Management System (ABMS). In the past few years, the Air Force 
has moved the ABMS from a largely theoretical and development 
status to one involving the acquisition of specialized 
equipment and more real-world testing under an agile 
acquisition process.
    With the retirement of more JSTARS aircraft, and absent 
senior leader attention to the cadre of air battle managers, 
the committee is concerned that these highly skilled crews will 
likely be spread throughout the Air Force to cover other 
manning priorities. The committee believes that the Air Force 
needs to begin to shift these highly skilled personnel now to 
assume duties that will need their specialized talents as the 
Air Force transitions to the ABMS program.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to develop a plan for migrating the air battle management 
crews of JSTARS to provide similar expertise as members of the 
crews that will operate the ABMS. The committee directs the 
Secretary to provide a report on that plan to the congressional 
defense committees with the submission of the fiscal year 2024 
budget request.

Anthropomorphic female body armor chest plate

    The committee is aware of the Army's efforts to improve the 
fit of personal protective gear for women. The committee 
understands the Army continues to modify the cut and sizing of 
current hard armor plates in a manner designed to improve form, 
fit, and function; reduce pain; and increase mobility. Further, 
the committee understands the Army is in the midst of an 
anthropomorphic study for body armor modernization. The 
committee encourages the Army to accelerate its development of 
alternative materials while continuing to improve hard armor 
plates to meet a female warfighter's unique form and fit 
requirements while retaining critical ballistic properties. The 
committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide a 
briefing to the committee, not later than December 1, 2022, 
that provides an update on the Army's efforts to accelerate 
development of anthropomorphic armor for female servicemembers.

Armored Brigade Combat Team modernization

    The committee notes with concern the substantially reduced 
investment proposed in the fiscal year 2023 budget request for 
modernization of armored combat vehicles (ACV) that comprise 
the Army's Armored Brigade Combat Teams (ABCT). The proposed 
level of funding would drive a modernization rate of half an 
ABCT per year, equating to modernizing the Army's 16 ABCT's 
once every 32 years. Additionally, the substantial quantity 
reductions requested in the budget drive up the per-unit cost 
of ACVs between 15 and 40 percent.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide 
a briefing to the congressional defense committees, not later 
than February 20, 2023, on a long-term strategy for the 
modernization of ACVs within the Army's ABCTs and Army pre-
positioned stocks (APS). The strategy shall cover a 16-year 
period beginning in fiscal year 2024 and shall include the 
projected modernization levels of ACVs in each ABCT and APS and 
the anticipated ACV production quantities by year to achieve 
the projected modernization level. Additionally, the strategy 
shall include cost-per-quantity estimates for ACVs in fiscal 
year 2024 at the rate of one ABCT per year and at the rate 
proposed in the budget request for fiscal year 2024.

Army autonomy synchronization and oversight

    The committee recognizes that artificial intelligence, 
machine learning, and autonomy are critical to the Army's 
highest priority modernization efforts. The breadth of ground 
and air capabilities the Army is developing that seek to 
leverage autonomy, autonomy-aided, minimally-manned, 
optionally-manned, robotic, or other autonomous capabilities 
and effects is extensive. The committee notes these 
capabilities crosscut Program Executive Offices and Cross 
Functional Teams, and is concerned that these efforts lack 
unified direction and oversight within the Department of the 
Army that will ensure required integration and commonality, and 
prevent unnecessary duplication.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide 
a briefing to the congressional defense committees not later 
than February 28, 2023, that describes how the Department 
aligns and synchronizes across the Army enterprise all aspects 
of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and other 
autonomy efforts, to include research, development, testing, 
procurement, operationalization, and sustainment.

Army next-generation night vision fielding and industrial base strategy

    The committee supports the Department of the Army and its 
commitment to deliver next-generation night vision and 
situational awareness capabilities such as the Enhanced Night 
Vision Goggle-Binocular (ENVG B) and the Integrated Visual 
Augmentation System (IVAS). However, the committee is concerned 
about the Army's decision to terminate procurement of the ENVG 
B before the IVAS is fully certified to meet operational 
requirements. This decision creates risk for soldiers and, 
according to the Army's own unfunded priority list, will 
decrease soldier survivability. Additionally, the committee is 
concerned that halting ENVG B production disrupts the 
supporting supply chains. The committee is concerned that the 
Army is not taking into consideration the long-term industrial 
base consequences of their decision and assuming unnecessary 
risk. As such, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than 
January 31, 2023, on the Army's plan to ensure soldiers 
continue to have access to next-generation night vision systems 
and to sustain the night vision manufacturing industrial base.

Assessment of energetics production requirements and capacity

    The committee is concerned about the ability of the 
Department of Defense to source surge requirements for 
energetics in the event of a major conflict with strategic 
competitors. The committee notes that the Army has a 15-year 
plan to modernize organic ammunition production infrastructure 
but that effort may only help the Department meet the current 
demand for energetics and not surge requirements.
    Accordingly, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with 
the Secretary of the Army as the Department of Defense 
executive agent for ammunition and explosives, shall complete 
an assessment of the ability of the defense industrial 
production base to meet steady-state and surge requirements for 
propellants and explosives, no later than January 20, 2023. The 
assessment shall address: (1) Current and projected steady-
state and surge requirements for energetics; (2) Basis of the 
requirements for energetics; (3) Current and projected 
energetics production capacity; (4) Plan to modernize the 
energetics production base; (5) Opportunities to accelerate 
modernization of the energetics production base; (6) Options 
for increasing production capacity to meet surge requirements 
for energetics; and (7) Risks within the energetics production 
enterprise and plans to mitigate them. The Secretary shall 
provide a briefing of the assessment to the congressional 
defense committees no later than February 1, 2023.

Assessment of Navy cruiser modernization program

    The committee is concerned about the Navy's plan to retire 
five recently modernized Ticonderoga-class cruisers over the 
next 5 years, including one cruiser (USS Vicksburg) in fiscal 
year 2023. Through fiscal year 2021, the Navy has spent more 
than $3.0 billion on the cruiser modernization program, also 
known as the ``2-4-6'' program, and estimates another $407.0 
million in total additional funding is required to complete the 
modernization of these five ships and return them to the fleet.
    The Navy's initial plan for the 2-4-6 program included 
placing 11 cruisers incrementally into a reduced operating 
status for maintenance and modernization in order to extend the 
ships' service lives to 40 years and provide the ships with a 
significant capability upgrade.
    However, under the Navy's current plan, these ships will be 
decommissioned with between 30 and 36 years of service. The 
committee is concerned that the Navy invested significantly in 
modernizing cruisers that the fleet will be given little to no 
opportunity to use operationally.
    Moreover, the committee is concerned that these early 
cruiser decommissionings will result in further reduction of 
the Navy's surface combatant fleet, which will exacerbate the 
stress and operational tempo of the remaining ships and their 
crews.
    Given the significant potential lost investment, as well as 
the implications on the Navy's readiness and future 
shipbuilding plans, the committee directs the Comptroller 
General of the United States to assess:
          (1) The expected benefits and cost savings associated 
        with the 2-4-6 program and the analysis the Navy used 
        to support its plan;
          (2) The contracting strategy used to support the 2-4-
        6 program;
          (3) Cost, schedule, and performance challenges in 
        executing the 2-4-6 program;
          (4) Costs, benefits, and risks of early 
        decommissioning of cruisers in light of the 2-4-6 
        program performance to date; and
          (5) Any additional issues that the Comptroller 
        General may feel is appropriate.
    The committee directs the Comptroller General to provide a 
briefing to the committee, not later than December 1, 2022, on 
the preliminary findings of its assessment, with a report to 
follow.

Assessment of rocket motor production for preferred advanced munitions

    The committee is concerned about the significant lead time, 
often 2 years or more, it takes to produce rocket motors for 
preferred advanced munitions of all military services. Further, 
the committee notes that single sources of rocket motors for 
advanced munitions present a significant risk to timely 
procurement of preferred advanced munitions.
    Accordingly, the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with 
the Secretaries of the military departments, shall conduct an 
assessment that includes analysis of: (1) The capacity of the 
defense industrial base to meet steady-state and wartime surge 
requirements for production of rocket motors; (2) Why rocket 
motors can take up to 2 years or more to procure; (3) Options 
for accelerating the production of rocket motors; (4) Options 
to increase production capacity to meet wartime surge 
requirements; (5) The risk of having single sources for rocket 
motors; and (6) Options to mitigate single sources of rocket 
motors for preferred advanced munitions. The Secretary shall 
brief the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House 
of Representative on the results of the assessment not later 
than January 20, 2023.

Aviation Status Dashboard

    The committee is aware of a capabilities gap within the 
Army National Guard aviation enterprise related to automation 
systems that reduce air crew readiness and efficiency. The 
committee is aware that multiple National Guard Army aviation 
programs have purchased and deployed the Aviation Status 
Dashboard platform to successfully mitigate the capabilities 
gap and increase aviation program readiness and efficiency. The 
committee is also aware that the Aviation Status Dashboard has 
greatly reduced manhours and costs associated with the lack of 
automation. The committee directs the Secretary of the Army 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 capabilities of the Aviation Status Dashboard 
being used by current commands and the effectiveness of those 
capabilities in reducing complexity, increasing readiness, and 
reducing costs within the Army National Guard aviation 
programs. This briefing shall also focus on any undue 
constraints in acquiring or using the system. These constraints 
include the Risk Management Framework assessments and/or 
misunderstanding of funding mechanisms within the National 
Guard Bureau.

Counter-small Unmanned Aircraft Systems as a Service report

    The committee is aware the Joint Counter-small Unmanned 
Aircraft System (C-sUAS) Office (JCO) has engaged in a process 
to assess the viability of C-sUAS as a Service (CaaS). 
Additionally, the committee understands the JCO defines CaaS 
``as a Contractor Owned Government Operated (COGO) provider for 
C-sUAS detect, identification and defeat protecting a fixed 
location.'' The committee is attuned to the current need and 
future requirement for CaaS and commends the JCO for moving 
forward in a manner that allows the Government to more 
accurately assess the CaaS concept.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a report to the congressional defense committees, 
not later than March 31, 2023, to analyze and assess the 
following issues:
          (1) The market availability of open architecture-
        based systems that leverage novel solutions that allow 
        for more rapid and agile development of C-sUAS systems;
          (2) Identification and prioritization for technology 
        solutions from the military services that are hardware, 
        sensor, and system agnostic and allow for integration 
        of those technologies in ways that can be scaled to 
        particular threats; and
          (3) Recommendations on potential novel acquisition 
        strategies that will allow C-sUAS systems to be 
        acquired to match the rate of technology development 
        while minimizing service lifecycle costs to the 
        Department of the Army.

Critical organizational clothing and individual equipment

    The committee is concerned that the Department of Army's 
approach to developing and acquiring critical organizational 
clothing and individual equipment (OCIE) and personal 
protective equipment (PPE) increases risk to readiness in a 
strategic environment that could see U.S. forces operating or 
training across cold weather and tropical environments. 
Underfunding these accounts during periods of low operational 
tempo eliminates opportunities to gather lessons learned and 
inform the development of next generation technologies. 
Further, it threatens the stability of the domestic industrial 
base, rendering it incapable of surging in times of conflict. 
The committee believes an enduring fielding initiative with 
consistent funding levels will maintain the domestic OCIE/PPE 
industrial base and ensure critical end items and materials are 
positioned to support future surge requirements.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to develop a detailed strategy for an enduring fielding 
initiative, including proposed funding levels over the future 
years defense program, and to provide a briefing on that 
strategy to the congressional defense committees not later than 
March 31, 2023.

CVN-82/83 procurement authority report

    The committee notes the future years defense program 
accompanying the President's budget request for fiscal year 
2023 forecasts 2 years of advance procurement (AP) for the 
fifth ship in the Gerald R. Ford-class of nuclear-powered 
aircraft carriers, CVN-82, in fiscal years 2026 and 2027 with 
incremental funding presumably beginning in fiscal year 2028.
    The committee further notes that the fiscal year 2023 30-
year shipbuilding plan recognizes the importance of stability 
and predictability to the fragile Navy shipbuilding industry, 
particularly the Navy's nuclear shipbuilding industry, and 
notes other nuclear shipbuilding programs have utilized 3 years 
of AP as an additional tool to stabilize the industrial base.
    The committee remains supportive of acquisition strategies 
that maximize benefits to operational commanders while 
simultaneously protecting the interests of the taxpayer. For 
example, the multiple-ship procurement of CVN-80 and CVN-81 
will provide significant upgrades to the overall capability of 
the Navy's aircraft carrier fleet as well as nearly $4.0 
billion in reduced costs when compared to single ship 
procurements.
    The committee is also aware of the benefit to the 
associated workforce and supplier base when aircraft carrier 
build intervals are optimized to avoid the ``peaks and 
valleys'' associated with extended or varying procurement 
profiles.
    Therefore, not later than March 1, 2023, the committee 
directs the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report to the 
congressional defense committees that compares potential 
acquisition strategies and cost saving options associated with 
the next two aircraft carriers to be procured in the Ford-
class, CVN-82 and CVN-83. This report shall include potential 
funding profiles, potential costs and benefits for the Navy, 
benefits to the shipbuilder, and benefits to suppliers for the 
following scenarios:
          (1) CVN-82 and CVN-83 as single ship procurements, 
        versus a combined block buy procurement that includes 
        economic order quantity authority;
          (2) 2 versus 3 years of AP funding for CVN-82 and 
        CVN-83; and
          (3) 4 versus 5 year build intervals for CVN-82 and 
        CVN-83.

Degraded visual environment acquisition strategy

    A number of hazards contribute to increased risk for ground 
vehicles and for military aircraft operating in close proximity 
to the ground. These hazards include such things as wires, 
buildings or other manmade structures, or other vehicles. This 
risk situation is greatly complicated in uncharted terrain, 
particularly in the presence of low-visibility conditions at 
night or conditions caused by smoke, dust, fog, and 
precipitation.
    The Department of Defense refers to these situations as 
degraded visual environments (DVE). DVE occur during training 
and operational missions and have led to aircraft damage, 
aircraft loss, and aircrew injuries and fatalities. The 
committee encouraged and supported efforts by the military 
services to develop and field modernized DVE systems on rotary 
wing aircraft and is encouraged by the collaboration shown by 
the Army and U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) in 
developing and procuring a common DVE solution in order to 
quickly field technologies to overcome DVE situations. The Army 
and Air Force have ongoing efforts to ensure that existing and 
new air and ground vehicles, with certain exceptions, are 
equipped with DVE capability.
    DVE systems rely heavily on software and data fusion 
technologies. The committee supports the services' efforts to 
move these software systems to open system architectures. Such 
architectures should lead to cost savings across the Department 
of Defense, while allowing faster technology insertions.
    To develop a better common understanding of the current 
situation, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
submit a report to the congressional defense committees, not 
later than December 1, 2022, on the DVE system. The report 
shall assess the status of DVE technology and systems that are 
currently being fielded for aircraft and ground systems, 
including costs and schedules for such systems. The report 
shall also assess opportunities to achieve greater utility or 
cost savings through coordinating or consolidating the 
development and procurement of DVE systems and software among 
the various systems developing and fielding DVE systems. The 
report shall also assess the DVE standard software solution as 
a mission-enhancing tool for SOCOM, including the potential 
benefits of SOCOM's rapid-fielding model for operators in the 
near-term.

Degraded visual environment systems--HH-60W

    The Air Force decided to terminate the degraded visual 
environment system (DVES) for the HH-60G Combat Search and 
Rescue (CSAR) helicopter fleet, with the promise that the Air 
Force would address the problem with an accelerated HH-60W 
Combat Rescue Helicopter program. Now the Air Force has dropped 
any apparent plans to upgrade the HH-60W fleet with DVES and 
has decided to truncate the HH-60W procurement program far 
short of the original inventory objective.
    The committee already had concerns that the original Air 
Force plan would have left Air National Guard HH-60Gs operating 
at greater risk for a number of years. With the announcement of 
the plan in the budget request to curtail the procurement of 
the follow-on HH-60W aircraft, Air Force units, both active 
component and Air National Guard, will be operating legacy 
aircraft without DVES for the foreseeable future. The committee 
finds this situation unacceptable, particularly in view of the 
Air Force assessment that DVES is a ``key safety enhancement 
for rotary wing aircraft and remains a priority.''
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide the congressional defense committees, not 
later than February 1, 2023, with a fully developed acquisition 
plan for procuring DVES upgrades and outfitting the fleet of 
HH-60W helicopters.

Distributed Common Ground System

    The committee applauds the Air Force for refocusing 
resources to reflect the current and future global threat 
environment, and for taking the necessary steps through 
divestment to modernize its intelligence, surveillance, and 
reconnaissance (ISR) fleet. Each ISR collection platform the 
Air Force operates is merely one part of a long chain of 
production, analysis, and dissemination of intelligence 
information to the battle space. While the Air Force has 
invested considerable time and effort in planning for 
divestments of ISR platforms, such as the MQ-9, U-2, and RQ-4, 
the committee is concerned that the Air Force has given less 
consideration to the rest of the enterprise that processes and 
disseminates information collected by those platforms--the 
Distributed Common Ground System (DCGS).
    The committee is concerned DCGS units remain structured to 
conduct processing, exploitation, and dissemination of outdated 
mission sets and capabilities. Therefore, the committee directs 
the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a report to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than January 25, 
2023, outlining the path forward for the DCGS, including 
detailed estimates on required manning and justification for 
resources that are consistent with Air Force plans to divest 
ISR systems.

Electronic blank technology

    The committee understands maintaining operational readiness 
is a critical component of maintaining U.S. advantage over 
near-peer competitors. To this end, the Army and Navy have been 
working aggressively to include synthetic training environments 
(STE) in day-to-day protocols to ensure the proficiency of 
warfighters. Technological advancements in the use of 
electronic blanks (E-Blank) technology in synthetic training 
improves realism and enables additional data collection for 
user feedback to improve readiness. The committee is aware of 
commercial off-the-shelf E-Blank technology that has the 
potential to increase safety and operational readiness, provide 
weapon proficiency specific to a soldier's assigned weapon, 
reduce range time, increase training efficiency, and lower the 
operational costs for units through the application of an 
anytime/anywhere system. Incorporation of E-Blanks in 
conjunction with other training systems, such as the Army's 
STE, can improve unit readiness through realistic training, 
reduce hazards and the logistics and administrative burdens and 
costs associated with legacy blank ammunition.
    The committee directs the Secretaries of the Army and Navy 
to provide a briefing to the committee, not later March 1, 
2023, on ongoing and planned activities to replace the use of 
legacy blank ammunition with an electro-mechanical ``drop-in'' 
E-Blank capability. This briefing shall include: (1) A detailed 
assessment describing how E-Blanks could improve readiness and 
reduce training injuries and fatalities, (2) A cost benefit 
analysis for Army and Navy adoption of E-Blank technology into 
current training methods, as well as Virtual Training and 
Synthetic Training, and (3) The timelines associated with 
integrating E-Blank technology into both current force-on-force 
training, as well as Virtual Trainers and STE systems.

Expeditionary shelters

    The committee recognizes the importance of developing and 
incorporating protected expeditionary systems that support 
disaggregated operations in hostile, denied, and degraded 
environments.
    Capabilities such as self-contained, rigid-walled shelters 
that are able to house personnel, equipment, and classified 
systems, while offering protection against small arms fire and 
fragmentation, greatly expand the Department of Defense's (DOD) 
ability to project power and support operations from fortified 
positions. The committee further recognizes that supporting 
innovations in this field will help posture the DOD for mission 
success in a range of operations against the large-scale pacing 
threat of China or contingency operations similar to those in 
Ukraine.
    The committee recommends investments into providing 
servicemembers with military shelter systems that, under 
certain threat conditions, offer protection against small arms 
fire and fragmentation. Under such operational conditions, 
military shelter systems may require ballistic protection that 
can be quickly transported, assembled, and disassembled as 
required to meet mission requirements.

Extended Range 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 could provide 
the service with potential surge capacity, eliminate a single 
point failure disrupting production, and appropriately exercise 
the Nation's SRM industrial base.

Force Provider Life Support Modules

    The committee recognizes that sustaining combat operations 
in the anticipated distributed multi-domain operational 
environment will be challenging. Force Provider Life Support 
Modules (LSM) provide fully integrated basic life support for 
soldiers operating in austere battlefield conditions, including 
shelter, food, hygiene, and billeting. Each LSM supports 150 
soldiers, enabling them to live safely and securely in remote 
environmental conditions. The committee notes that the Army has 
not yet procured its full requirement for LSM necessary to 
support contingency plans and encourages the Department of 
Defense to fund this critical capability in future budgets.

Foreign pilot training

    The dramatic deterioration of security conditions in Europe 
following Russia's unprovoked invasion of Ukraine has resulted 
in increased threats to U.S. troops and allies in the region 
and an increased demand for the United States to train foreign 
pilots. The committee believes these circumstances warrant 
accelerated timelines and a careful evaluation of U.S. security 
cooperation resources, including aircraft and manpower 
currently supporting training of foreign pilots, and immediate 
expenditure of any funds authorized for the foreign training 
mission requirements to ensure on-time delivery and training.
    The committee understands that new requirements and 
administrative requirements put in place even before the 
invasion of Ukraine have increased the time needed for and the 
costs of providing this training as well as design and 
construction associated with mission-critical capability. Given 
heightened security risks, it is important that the United 
States provides training and funding for foreign pilots 
expeditiously to ensure that allies and partners do not 
experience delays in acquiring or delivering aircraft, such as 
F-35s, F-16s, and H-60s. This may require an acceleration of 
previously understood timelines in order to meet need. The 
Department of Defense needs to ensure that the infrastructure 
and resources are matched to current and expected demand for 
training foreign pilots and are able to execute that training 
and funding as soon as practicable.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the congressional defense committees, not 
later than 60 days after the date of the enactment of this Act. 
That report shall address:
          (1) Current and expected demand for U.S. training of 
        foreign pilots;
          (2) Current capability and capacity to conduct 
        training of foreign pilots;
          (3) How potential divestments would affect capability 
        and capacity for training foreign pilots;
          (4) Plans to increase training capacity to meet any 
        increase in expected demand;
          (5) An assessment of the current pilot training 
        infrastructure and an assessment of the need for and 
        cost and benefits of expanding that infrastructure;
          (6) An assessment of how best to expedite usage of 
        any funds authorized or associated with foreign 
        training; and
          (7) The objective criteria the Department is using, 
        or will use, in deciding on where training of foreign 
        pilots will be conducted.

Future Air Force aircraft basing criteria

    The Air Force is in the midst of modernizing significant 
portions of the force structure, particularly attack and 
fighter aircraft squadrons and aerial refueling aircraft wings. 
It would be in the Air Force's best interests if the method for 
making decisions on which bases and units are modernized, and 
in which order they are to be modernized, is transparent to the 
units and other stakeholders. The committee believes the Air 
Force should take into consideration the broadest range of 
criteria in making such decisions and that these criteria 
should be transparent.
    The committee believes that, with regard to basing 
decisions for attack and fighter aircraft squadrons and aerial 
refueling aircraft wings, the Air Force should use criteria, in 
consultation with the combatant commanders, that would 
prioritize consideration of bases that have already 
successfully hosted complex flying missions in order to 
leverage existing infrastructure. In reviewing basing options 
for these future capabilities, the committee encourages the Air 
Force to give priority consideration to bases at which the Air 
Force currently hosts attack, fighter, and aerial refueling 
aircraft they propose to retire during the future years defense 
program in order to provide for consistency in base operations 
and programming of any infrastructure or other resourcing 
required to support proposed transitions.
    The committee further urges the Air Force to consider the 
collective value of installation attributes, to include 
objective criteria, such as high average flying days per year 
and highest mission capable rates; existing installation and 
airfield infrastructure and base support; and for attack and 
fighter aircraft squadrons, access to proximate gunnery ranges 
and other training requirements. The committee also needs to 
understand the objective criteria the Air Force will use for 
deciding between fielding new aircraft with Active Duty and 
reserve component units.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to 
provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees, not 
later than February 28, 2023, regarding the publication of 
objective basing criteria for all attack, fighters, and aerial 
refueling aircraft being used to replace retiring systems, as 
well as any relevant basing proposals and infrastructure needs 
required to support the proposals.

HH-60W Combat Rescue Helicopter Program

    The Air Force has decided to truncate the HH-60W Combat 
Rescue Helicopter program in the budget request for fiscal year 
2023. This action would terminate the program, having produced 
only 75 helicopters, though the inventory objective remains at 
a level of 113 aircraft. The committee understands that 
operational analysis has shown that the requirement could be 
upwards of 144 aircraft to support this mission.
    A former Air Force Chief of Staff stated that the Air Force 
has a ``moral and ethical imperative'' to rescue the pilots and 
ground troops that venture into harm's way. Another general 
cancelled air strikes in Vietnam to dedicate 150 aircraft to 
the rescue of one pilot shot down 40 miles from Hanoi. The 
committee is therefore concerned that the Air Force's plan to 
truncate the program of record could place U.S. men and women 
at unacceptable risk should they need combat rescue.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees, 
not later than March 1, 2023, on how the Department of Defense 
plans to satisfy the combat rescue requirement with U.S. assets 
should the Air Force's program of record be truncated short of 
the inventory objective.

Maneuver Short Range Air Defense increment 3 missile

    The committee supports the Army's plan to acquire the 
Maneuver Short Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD) increment 3 
missile. Supported by practical experience in the ongoing 
illegal invasion of Ukraine, the committee agrees with the Army 
that a next-generation capability with increased range and 
lethality is critical to the Army, allies, and security 
partners. The committee believes the priorities for this 
program should be on increased range, speed, and lethality to 
provide greater protection to Army maneuver forces. Further, 
based on legacy experience with the current M-SHORAD program, 
the committee believes it is imperative that the Army 
prioritize industry/Government co-development and weapons open 
system architecture environments to facilitate affordable rapid 
technology insertion. Long-term sustainment costs to the 
Government can be reduced by leveraging these acquisition 
priorities, as well as digital engineering and data analytics 
prioritization from Milestone A forward. Additionally, M-SHORAD 
increment 3 should be developed from inception as a foreign 
military sales program, meaning exportability should be a 
priority. Finally, in view of the potential for future 
conflicts in an ever more unstable global security environment, 
the committee urges the Army to adopt the most flexible 
acquisition approach to challenge industry to adopt aggressive 
timelines to field increment 3.

MQ-9 Reaper program

    Due to the decreased focus on MQ-9 Reaper operations in 
U.S. Central Command, the Air Force plans to divest a portion 
of its MQ-9 fleet. Some have suggested that the MQ-9 still has 
a role in great power competition. Supporters of continued MQ-9 
employment have asserted that the MQ-9 possesses similar 
survivability as other fourth generation aircraft, and there is 
no reason that they could not operate in threat environments 
similar to F-15s or F-16s.
    The committee needs to understand how the MQ-9 Reaper force 
could contribute to future combat capability. The committee 
directs the Office of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation 
(CAPE) to conduct an assessment, to be completed not later than 
February 1, 2023, of the MQ-9 Reaper platform, to include: (1) 
Current missions of the MQ-9; (2) Potential additional uses of 
MQ-9s through 2040 in relation to other weapons systems; (3) 
The comparative cost of the MQ-9 to other capability 
alternatives for providing long-range (radar horizon) detection 
capability, identification, and location of radar and 
communication signals of interest; and (4) Any costs incurred 
if current MQ-9 tasks are assigned to high-end aircraft.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to, 
not later than 30 days after the completion of the CAPE 
assessment, to provide a report to the congressional defense 
committees including: (1) The CAPE assessment; (2) An analysis 
of the potential to use the MQ-9 platform for new missions, 
such as improved signals intelligence, communications 
intelligence, or disaggregated airborne moving target indicator 
capability; (3) Recommendations of modifications that adapt the 
MQ-9 to be more effective in new uses while also reducing 
manpower costs; (4) A long-term personnel resource plan that 
protects the Air Force remotely piloted aircraft community from 
being disrupted by future changes in force structure; (5) An 
engagement plan with the combatant commands to incorporate 
greater participation among partner nations in unmanned 
aircraft operations; (6) An assessment of the capability to 
improve MQ-9 survivability; and (7) Potential efforts by the 
Air Force, in partnership with the Joint Artificial 
Intelligence Center, to develop and integrate a self-protection 
capability into the MQ-9 to enable MQ-9 aircraft to operate in 
contested environments.

Next generation aramid copolymer fiber for armor solutions

    The committee applauds the Secretary of Defense and the 
Army for leveraging the Defense Production Act of 1950 (Public 
Law 81-774) to develop Next Generation Aramid (NGA), a 
copolymer fiber that is substantially lighter and stronger than 
existing legacy para-aramid fibers. However, the committee 
notes that the Army and the Marine Corps have not increased the 
objective requirements for soldier protection programs. The 
committee is aware that NGA delivers an approximate 30 percent 
increase in strength 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 no additional weight or cost, thus 
enabling best in class fragment and ballistic protection in 
flexible, soft body armor. NGA's greater flexibility compared 
to ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene, make it ideal for 
conforming to female soldiers. NGA can 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 
hard armor applications include material hybridized rifle 
resistant helmets, ballistic plates, vehicle spall liners, and 
hard armor.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Army, in coordination with the Secretary of the Navy, to 
provide a briefing to the committee, not later than March 1, 
2023, outlining the timeline and progress made to date for 
updating personal protective equipment requirements to 
incorporate the benefits of NGA.

Next Generation Surface Search Radar

    The committee notes the AN/SPS-73(V)18 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 further 
notes the Chief of Naval Operations recommended the NGSSR for 
accelerated fielding based on deficiencies identified in the 
Navy's 2017 Comprehensive Review of the USS John S. McCain and 
USS Fitzgerald collisions.
    The committee understands the NGSSR is progressing through 
developmental testing with systems being delivered to shipyards 
for installation across the surface 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 production. The 
committee is concerned that without such actions the Navy will 
unacceptably delay the fielding of 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.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Navy to provide a briefing to the defense committees, not later 
than December 1, 2022, on the status of the NGSSR's contract 
vehicle maturation and its full fielding plan across the 
surface fleet.

Night vision and situational awareness devices

    The committee is encouraged by the rapid development of the 
Integrated Visual Augmentation System (IVAS) capability and the 
Army's interest in accelerating development of the IVAS version 
1.2. The committee also recognizes the relevance of the broader 
range of night vision and situational awareness devices and the 
likelihood that Army formations will include mixed 
capabilities, particularly as new capabilities are developed 
and fielded.
    The committee also notes that a recurring comment from 
soldiers and junior leaders at IVAS soldier touch points is 
that not all personnel in a close-combat formation should be 
equipped with IVAS and that equipping select soldiers with 
alternative night vision and situation awareness equipment 
could make the formations more combat effective. The committee 
believes the Army should experiment with mixed-equipping of 
close-combat formations in order to best inform its IVAS and 
night vision systems basis-of-issue, procurement decisions, and 
overarching night vision strategy.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to conduct experimentation on mixed-equipping within close 
combat formations of IVAS, Enhanced Night Vision Goggle-
Binocular, and other elements of the Army night vision and 
situational awareness systems, and to provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees on findings and 
recommendations of the experimentation, not later than March 
31, 2023.

One World Terrain

    The committee recognizes that Army Futures Command has seen 
great utility in the One World Terrain (OWT) three dimensional 
(3D) geospatial data used for both synthetic training and 
operational missions, most recently in Ukraine and Afghanistan. 
The committee encourages continued expansion of the OWT program 
to provide 3D geospatial data for operational missions while 
continuing to improve synthetic training requirements. The 
committee encourages future budget requests to take into 
consideration operational missions, including mission planning, 
targeting, navigation, and analysis.

Procurement of sea mines and near-term improvements to mine 
        capabilities and delivery options

    The committee is aware that significant opportunities exist 
to expand the usage of advanced sea mines in the Department of 
Defense, in furtherance of deterrence by denial strategies. 
Historical experience, operations research and modeling, and 
expert judgment affirm that sea mines remain among the most 
effective means of deterring and denying amphibious assaults. 
However, the committee is concerned about the extant mining 
capabilities of the U.S. military needed for these purposes for 
the Indo-Pacific theater. Further, the committee is concerned 
that the U.S. industrial base may not be postured to produce a 
range of cost-effective sea mines for U.S. allies and partners. 
The committee understands that although the Navy possesses 
several mature mine programs, it appears that there are several 
promising capabilities absent from joint discussions on near-
term prioritization to impact deterrence within the future 
years defense program.
    The committee directs the Vice Chairman of the Joints 
Chiefs of Staff, in coordination with the Commander of U.S. 
Indo-Pacific Command, the Secretary of the Navy, the Chief of 
Naval Operations, the Secretary of the Air Force, and the Chief 
of Staff of the Air Force, to deliver a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than September 1, 
2023, detailing existing U.S. requirements and capabilities for 
offensive and defensive naval mining, potential improvements to 
the capability portfolio for U.S. or partner usage and 
potential production capacity expansion, along with associated 
resourcing requirements.

RC-135 programs

    The RC-135 fleet provides unique intelligence, 
surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities and has proven 
value for the national intelligence picture. The combatant 
command demand for RC-135 aircraft exceeds fleet capacity, 
which has been a consistent situation for decades. To avoid 
having too many RC-135 aircraft in the depot at any one time, 
the Air Force utilizes an incremental baseline modernization 
strategy to ensure capabilities will meet warfighter 
requirements.
    An element of that strategy involves using the program's 
NC-135W test aircraft for experimentation and demonstration of 
novel technologies. The Air Force has a adopted a plan to 
replace the legacy NC-135W test aircraft with an aircraft in an 
operationally representative configuration. The plan would 
involve converting a TC-135 training aircraft to an NC-135R 
configuration by 2025, resulting in improvements in overall RC-
135 fleet availability and increases in testing capability and 
capacity. The committee supports the Air Force plan as briefed.
    The committee also understands that this plan includes a 
conversion of one KC-135R tanker aircraft to a TC-135 training 
aircraft, depending upon the availability of a donor aircraft 
and funding to make the conversion. To mitigate against risk 
associated with a reduced TC-135 training aircraft fleet, the 
committee directs the Air Force to identify available KC-135 
aircraft among the tankers being realigned to make way for KC-
46 deployments and designate an aircraft to be converted to a 
TC-135 training aircraft. The committee directs the Secretary 
of the Air Force to submit a report, not later than January 31, 
2023, on the plan to implement this conversion and an 
assessment of whether any depot scheduling issues may affect 
this plan.

Report on potential use of CMV-22B to transport munitions

    The committee is concerned that delays in the movement of 
certain types of ordnance to aircraft carriers for use by the 
carrier air wing could have negative operational consequences.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Navy to submit to the congressional defense committees, not 
later than March 1, 2023, a report on the potential capability 
of the CMV-22B or a follow-on aircraft to transport a range of 
munitions to an aircraft carrier for purposes of providing 
additional capability or re-supply to the carrier air wing.
    This report shall include an assessment of the following: 
(1) The full range of weapons that could be employed by a 
carrier air wing; (2) The quantities of such weapons that could 
be transported by a properly configured CMV-22B or follow-on 
aircraft; (3) Ranges and flight durations to transport such 
munitions based on notional quantities, types, and mixes of 
munitions; (4) The approximate cost to modify a CMV-22B or 
follow-on aircraft to perform such tasks; (5) Policy, safety, 
engineering, and other considerations related to such 
modifications; and (6) The potential operational benefits of 
such a capability.

Tanker modernization and ground infrastructure for fuel in Indo-Pacific

    A reliable source of refueling capability is required to 
meet combined requirements of high-intensity conflict in the 
Indo-Pacific region or the U.S. European Command area of 
operations and to fulfill strategic forces operations. 
According to the testimony of previous commanders of U.S. 
Transportation Command, however, acquisition of additional 
tankers based on commercial airliners may not satisfy this 
requirement.
    Existing tankers, all based on ``tube and wing'' designs, 
have immense radar cross sections, rendering them vulnerable to 
advanced counter-air threats at long ranges. Given this 
vulnerability, these tankers cannot get close enough to the 
fight. This will diminish the capacity of all of the missions 
the tankers support--strike, air defense, and intelligence 
collection. So-called blended wing body (BWB) designs, an 
evolution of flying wing technology, inherently have 
substantially lower radar cross sections, without special 
stealth treatments, which would enable them to operate much 
closer to long-range air defense systems.
    In addition, BWB designs potentially offer greater fuel 
efficiency. Estimates of savings range up to 30 percent 
compared to existing tanker designs. That would translate into 
more support for tankers, bombers, and cargo aircraft. The Air 
Force's initial analysis shows increases in combat capability 
on the order of a 60 percent or greater aerial refueling fuel 
offload at range.
    The committee also understands that BWB designs could 
provide greater volume efficiency as well, with at least 65 
percent more productivity compared to a C-17 and at least 30 
percent more fuel efficiency compared to a KC-46. Notably, 
estimated fuel savings for a 2040 fleet of BWB aircraft at 
current fuel prices would be more than $1.5 billion each year. 
Furthermore, the committee understands that BWB aircraft 
designs are the only known approach that could enable use of 
hydrogen propulsion, which could contribute significantly to 
reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
    These characteristics are of high interest to commercial 
shipping companies and the airline industry. This has led the 
Air Force to investigate partnering with private investors to 
pay for a large-scale BWB demonstrator. The President's budget 
request for the Air Force includes $56.9 million to begin a 4-
year program to build this demonstrator, in partnership with 
industry. The committee strongly endorses this initiative.
    While the BWB demonstrator program proceeds, near-year 
investment in aviation fuel logistics capacity and 
survivability is needed and should be focused on ground 
infrastructure in the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) 
area of operations. A recent study from a prominent research 
and analysis non-profit organization indicated that an 
affordable investment over the next 5 years in ground 
infrastructure could increase tanker capacity by over 60 
percent, while greatly enhancing resilience and survivability 
of the existing force.
    The committee directs the Air Force and Navy operational 
energy executives, in coordination with the Director of Cost 
Analysis and Program Evaluation, the Commander, INDOPACOM, and 
the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to study and 
provide a briefing on the ground and sea-based support 
infrastructure for aviation fuel in INDOPACOM and recommend to 
the Secretary of Defense and the Congress high-payoff 
investment options for infrastructure investment through the 
future years defense program. The briefing shall be provided to 
the congressional defense committees not later than May 15, 
2023.

UH-60V Blackhawk helicopter

    The committee notes that modernization of older model UH-60 
Blackhawks through recapitalization and upgrades to the new UH-
60V model is crucial to ensuring the continued viability of the 
Blackhawk fleet. This effort extends the service life of 
airframes, upgrades cockpits from analog to digital, and 
increases overall performance.
    The committee supports the Army's plan to field UH-60V 
Blackhawks in all components in order to maintain fleet and 
mission parity across the Army. Additionally, the committee 
notes that a substantial increase of UH-60V production capacity 
is required to achieve on-time fielding and timely divestiture 
of obsolete airframes from the force.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide 
a briefing to the congressional defense committees, not later 
than February 20, 2023, on UH-60V production and fielding. The 
briefing shall include an update on production capacity, 
aircraft delivery timeliness, and intended distribution plans 
in the context of aviation force structure design updates 
currently being considered by the Army.

UH-72 Lakota helicopter modernization

    The committee recognizes the versatility of UH-72 Lakota 
aircraft fitted with sophisticated mission equipment packages 
(MEP) that enable Army National Guard (ARNG) aviation to 
perform a variety of missions, including counterdrug, search 
and rescue, disaster relief, border security, and other 
domestic operations. The committee further recognizes the 
increased performance and versatility of newer UH-72B aircraft 
being fielded to select states and the value of upgrades to 
address obsolescence issues in the earlier UH-72A variant. The 
committee notes that domestic UH-72 production capability will 
end in fiscal year 2023, and that updates to address 
obsolescence issues and modifications such as the MEP would 
sustain the Lakota workforce and expertise at the production 
facility while preserving the industrial capability to meet 
future Army, ARNG, other Government agency or foreign military 
sales needs.

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

              Subtitle A--Authorization of Appropriations

Authorization of appropriations (sec. 201)
    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the appropriations for research, development, test, and 
evaluation activities at the levels identified in section 4201 
of division D of this Act.

    Subtitle B--Program Requirements, Restrictions, and Limitations


Disclosure requirements for recipients of research and development 
        funds (sec. 211)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require 
individuals or entities that use funds received from the 
Department of Defense to carry out research and development 
activities to disclose the dollar amount received in any public 
document relating to such activities.

Modification of cooperative research and development project authority 
        (sec. 212)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 2350a(i) of title 10, United States Code, to expand the 
authority to participate in Department of Defense (DOD) 
cooperative research and development projects to parties within 
the National Technology Industrial Base (NTIB) as well as the 
European Union (EU).
    The committee believes the NTIB provides unique 
opportunities for collaboration on research, development, 
production, and the provision of services between allies and 
fosters a secure, reliable industrial base in a variety of 
critical technology areas, to include critical materials. 
Expanding cooperative research and development projects to the 
NTIB would enable trusted organizations from industry, 
academia, and non-governmental organizations within these 
countries to participate more fully in DOD research and 
development projects.
    The committee believes expanding this authority to the EU, 
including other pan-European organizations, such as the 
European Defense Agency, would enable the Department to 
participate in cooperative research and development projects 
the EU may undertake collectively.

Administration of the Advanced Sensor Applications Program (sec. 213)

    The committee recommends a provision that would provide 
direction on the organization of the Advanced Sensor 
Applications Program.

Modification of authority of the Department of Defense to carry out 
        certain prototype projects (sec. 214)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 4022 of title 10, United States Code, to streamline 
certain follow-on production awards related to certain 
successful prototype projects.

Competitively awarded demonstrations and tests of electromagnetic 
        warfare technology (sec. 215)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Director of the Air Force Rapid Capabilities Office to conduct 
competitively awarded demonstrations and tests of commercial 
electronics technology to determine whether technology exists 
to enable certain electromagnetic warfare capabilities. The 
provision would also require certain briefings and provide 
permissive funding authorities depending on the outcomes of the 
demonstrations and tests.

Government-Industry Working Group on Microelectronics (sec. 216)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to establish a Government-Industry Working 
Group on Microelectronics to provide a forum for information 
sharing and consultation on areas of mutual interest. Such a 
forum would allow for open dialogue and technical exchanges to 
help inform Department of Defense developmental planning so 
that industrial and production considerations can be factored 
in earlier in the planning process.
    The committee also believes that such a forum can be 
especially useful as the Department develops quantifiable 
assurance (QA) standards to ensure trust and supply chain 
resiliency in the broader ecosystem. The committee is 
frustrated by the slow pace of QA standards development that 
could be applied to the broader commercial sector focused on 
non-DOD unique microelectronics and believes that this working 
group would be a critical tool to help jumpstart and validate 
that process.
    The committee is also concerned that many of the 
initiatives surrounding QA do not leverage the skills and 
experience of members of the commercial sector to help inform 
the Department's activities. For example, the committee is 
aware that the Department has established a ``red team'' to 
assess the viability of QA, yet none of the members include 
representatives from major fabless semiconductor companies or 
state-of-the-art manufacturers. The committee strongly urges 
the Department to include practitioners from commercial fabless 
and foundry companies that design and manufacture state-of-the-
art semiconductors in any assessments that are conducted on the 
development and effectiveness of QA.

Inclusion of Office of Under Secretary of Defense for Research and 
        Engineering in personnel management authority to attract 
        experts in science and engineering (sec. 217)

    The committee recommends a provision that would include the 
Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and 
Engineering in an existing personnel management authority to 
recruit experts in science and engineering, subject to certain 
requirements and limitations, and allow for them to use this 
authority for up to 10 positions.

Investment plan for foundational capabilities needed to develop novel 
        processing approaches for future defense applications (sec. 
        218)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to develop a triennial investment plan for 
foundational capabilities needed to develop novel processing 
approaches for future defense applications. Such a roadmap 
would allow for greater coordination within the Department of 
Defense and establish an integrated approach to the 
identification, prioritization, development, and leveraging of 
research and development investments.

Open radio access network 5G acquisition acceleration and transition 
        plans (sec. 219)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require 
various Secretaries to develop and submit unclassified 3-year 
transition plans for fifth generation (5G) information and 
communications technology infrastructure. The provision would 
also require assessment of the transition plans.
    Over the past several years, the committee has supported 
rapid development, demonstration, and adoption of 5G 
capabilities based on virtualized and modular Open Radio Access 
Network (ORAN) standards and technology. The committee has also 
supported the development of a robust domestic supply chain of 
ORAN equipment and software that can compete globally against 
heavily subsidized, proprietary, and non-modular network 
offerings from China. The committee is disappointed that to 
date, the Department of Defense and the services have not 
prioritized investment in ORAN technology in their 5G 
deployments and experiments. Instead, the Department has relied 
primarily on legacy providers using proprietary systems that 
include parts and software developed overseas. The committee 
believes that acquisition of 5G ORAN would allow the maturation 
of the technology and support the emergence of a domestic 
ecosystem of suppliers and software developers.

Pilot program to facilitate the development of electric vehicle battery 
        technologies for warfighters (sec. 220)

    The committee recommends a provision that would allow the 
Secretary of Defense to establish a pilot program to provide 
support for domestic battery producers to facilitate research 
and development into new or novel battery chemistries, assess 
existing commercial offerings for military utility, and 
transition such technologies to warfighters.

             Subtitle C--Plans, Reports, and Other Matters


Report on recommendations from Army Futures Command Research Program 
        Realignment Study (sec. 231)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of the Army to provide to the congressional defense 
committees, not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, a report on the implementation of the 
Army Futures Command Research Program Realignment Study 
recommendations. The report would describe the status of 
implementation of the study's recommendations, details 
regarding future implementation of those recommendations not 
yet implemented, and justification for those recommendations 
the Secretary does not intend to implement.

Strategy and plan for strengthening and fostering defense innovation 
        ecosystem (sec. 232)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Department of Defense to submit a strategy and implementation 
plan for strengthening and fostering defense innovation 
ecosystems on a quadrennial basis, beginning in 2023.
    The committee is aware of many innovation ecosystems spread 
across the country, some supported by other Federal agencies 
for technology and economic development, but many that have 
sprung up organically or as a result of private sector 
investment. The committee recognizes the value of leveraging 
geographically and regionally focused concentrations of talent, 
funding, and infrastructure to provide a critical mass with all 
the necessary ingredients for innovation.
    The committee believes the Department of Defense can and 
should do more to identify regional hubs beneficial to the 
Department and strategically use the tools at its disposal to 
help cultivate and expand the innovation ecosystems. Examples 
at the grassroots level, like the work done at the Naval 
Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division, as highlighted by 
a study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Sloan 
School of Management, published May 17, 2019, titled ``NSWC 
Crane Innovation Analysis: Contributing to Regional Innovation 
Ecosystems,'' help demonstrate what is possible with senior 
level support and dedication of some time and resources for 
coordination and synchronization with state, local and private 
sector entities. The committee encourages the Department to 
find opportunities to leverage its geographic advantages and 
existing authorities to create and strengthen geographic hubs 
that can provide foundational support for wider research, 
technology and economic development that supports the 
Department.

Modification of Director for Operational Test and Evaluation annual 
        report (sec. 233)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 139(h)(3) of title 10, United States Code, by requiring 
a publicly releasable version of the report if a controlled 
unclassified information (CUI) version is submitted to 
Congress.
    The committee is concerned that the most recent Director of 
Operational Test and Evaluation annual report contained a 
blanket CUI restriction, which some perceive as being overly 
restrictive and unduly less transparent and accountable. While 
the committee understands the need to protect sensitive 
unclassified information, we remain concerned that the process 
for comprehensively applying the CUI marking guidance in a 
systematic way is lacking. The result is often the blanket 
application of the CUI marking to entire documents, rather than 
using portion, derivative classification, and other markings 
similar to a classified document. In the tradeoff between 
security and accountability, the committee believes that the 
Department of Defense should have a more deliberative process, 
similar to that used for the marking of classified national 
security information, for determining what information should 
be protected from adversaries and what information should be 
publicly released to enhance transparency and accountability in 
the Department.

Extension of requirement for quarterly briefings on development and 
        implementation of strategy for fifth generation information and 
        communications technologies (sec. 234)

    The committee recommends a provision that would extend the 
requirement for quarterly briefings on the development and 
implementation of the strategy on fifth generation information 
and communications technologies.

Report on estimated costs of conducting a minimum frequency of 
        hypersonic weapons testing (sec. 235)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a report on estimated costs for 
conducting not fewer than one full-scale, operationally 
relevant, live-fire, hypersonic weapon test of the systems 
currently under development each year by the Air Force, the 
Army, and the Navy, once such systems reach initial operational 
capability.

Annual report on studies and reports being undertaken by the Department 
        of Defense (sec. 236)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 4126 of title 10, United States Code, to require the 
Secretary of Defense to deliver an annual report to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on all studies and reports being undertaken for 
the Department of Defense by a federally funded research and 
development center. The required report shall exclude any 
classified reports or studies, technical reports associated 
with scientific research, or draft reports.

Quantifiable assurance capability for security of microelectronics 
        (sec. 237)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to develop and implement a capability for 
quantifiable assurance for security of microelectronics, 
including establishment of requirements and a schedule.

Clarification of role of Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence 
        Officer (sec. 238)

    The committee recommends a provision that would update 
references in United States Code and various National Defense 
Authorization Acts to re-designate responsibilities of the now-
disestablished Joint Artificial Intelligence Center to the 
Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Officer.

this pilot program will develop courses and curricula with 
technology partners and also provide funding for select NSA CAE 
universities to offer these courses and receive tuition 
reimbursement for participation in the courses.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $20.0 
million in RDDW for PE 33140D8Z for the NSA CAE cybersecurity 
workforce pilot program.

MQ-9 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle realignment of funds

    The budget request included $14.0 million in Research, 
Development, Test, and Evaluation, Defense-wide (RDDW) for PE 
1105219BB MQ-9 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle. The budget request also 
included $67.1 million in Operation and Maintenance, Defense-
wide (OMDW) SAG-1PL7 for MQ-9 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.
    The committee notes that U.S. Special Operations Command 
identified emergent requirements related to the development of 
MQ-9 MALET capabilities and requested a realignment of $5.9 
million from operation and maintenance to research, 
development, test, and evaluation.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $5.9 
million in RDDW PE 1105219BB MQ-9 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and a 
corresponding decrease of $5.9 million in OMDW SAG 1PL7 for MQ-
9 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.

Maritime scalable effects

    The budget request included $129.1 million in Research, 
Development, Test, and Evaluation, Defense-wide (RDDW) for 
PE1160431BB Warrior Systems.
    The committee supports prioritization of resources to 
address capability gaps, particularly those that ensure U.S. 
Special Operations Forces maintain superiority relative to 
long-term strategic competitors, and notes that the Commander, 
U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), has identified the 
acceleration of maritime scalable effects as an unfunded 
requirement.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $2.4 
million in RDDW PE1160431BB for acceleration of SOCOM maritime 
scalable effects.

Dry Combat Submersible Next

    The budget request included $82.6 million in Research, 
Development, Test, and Evaluation, Defense-wide (RDDW) for 
PE1160483BB Maritime Systems.
    The committee supports prioritization of resources to 
address capability gaps, particularly those that ensure U.S. 
Special Operations Forces maintain superiority relative to 
long-term strategic competitors, and notes that the Commander, 
U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM), has identified the 
acceleration of the Dry Combat Submersible (DCS) Next program 
as an unfunded requirement.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $30.0 
million in RDDW PE1160483BB Maritime Systems for acceleration 
of the DCS Next program.

Increase for inflation effects

    The committee recommends an increase of $13.0 billion for 
inflation effects, of which $859.4 million is for Research, 
Development, Test, and Evaluation, Defense-wide and Operational 
Test and Evaluation.

Acquisition and employment of artificial intelligence and autonomy 
        technologies for red team cybersecurity testing for the Office 
        of Operational Test and Evaluation

    The budget request included $119.5 million in Research, 
Development, Test, and Evaluation, Defense-wide (RDDW) for PE 
65118OTE Operational Test and Evaluation.
    The committee notes that the Office of the Director of 
Operational Test and Evaluation is among the largest users of, 
and advocates for, cyber Red Teams in the Department of Defense 
(DOD) and sees the need to apply automation technology to Red 
Team penetration testing to enable the most efficient use of 
scarce human expertise and time. Automated Red Team technology 
is being developed and matured by the commercial cybersecurity 
industry and components within DOD are beginning to apply it.
    The committee recommends an increase of $10.0 million in 
RDDW for PE 65118OTE for Director of Operational Test and 
Evaluation acquisition and employment of artificial 
intelligence and autonomy technologies for red teaming.

                       Items of Special Interest


Accessing state-of-the-art microelectronics

    The committee is aware that advanced microelectronics are 
vital to national and economic security. The committee believes 
that dependence on foundries concentrated in vulnerable regions 
of Asia is risky and increases the potential for disrupted or 
unsecure supply chains. The committee has worked for many years 
to restore manufacturing in the United States and to revitalize 
the domestic microelectronics innovation base and process. The 
committee commends the Department of Defense for: (1) Moving 
forward responsibly to budget for the Rapid Assured 
Microelectronics Prototype (RAMP), RAMP-Commercial, State-of-
the-Art Heterogeneous Integrated Packaging (SHIP), and 
Electronics Resurgence Initiative programs, including the 
development of quantifiable assurance processes to support 
these programs; (2) Embracing the responsibility to execute the 
microelectronics commons initiative to reinvigorate the 
microelectronics innovation base; and (3) Committing to 
acquiring the intellectual property for process designs that is 
essential for the success of any domestic pure-play foundry.
    The committee believes that the most important component of 
a national microelectronics strategy is to build manufacturing 
capacity in the United States. The committee is optimistic 
that, with the right financial incentives, leading global 
microelectronics foundry companies will build manufacturing 
facilities in the United States that will be utilized on a 
large scale by the leading commercial fabless semiconductor 
companies.
    However, the committee is concerned about proposals to use 
anticipated Department of Commerce grant funding, which is 
intended primarily for enhancing domestic manufacturing 
capabilities, for security enhancements after decades of 
experience with similar ``Trusted Foundry'' initiatives that 
proved to be unsustainable, both from a commercial viability 
and funding perspective. The concern is whether: (1) This 
additional security is required over and above what can be 
achieved via the quantifiable assurance initiative and the 
security measures already planned for the domestic SHIP 
assembly and packaging facility; (2) This security enhancement 
can be accomplished without threatening the commercial and 
economic success of a pure-play foundry; and (3) The 
considerable funding required is affordable and sustainable 
within the limits of public financing available under the 
anticipated Department of Commerce semiconductor grant program 
and in view of competing demands.
    In addition, the committee is concerned that the Department 
of Defense (DOD) lacks a coherent strategy to address 
sustainment and modernization needs of legacy systems that face 
obsolescing electronics. Buying old chips on the open market 
courts counterfeit risks and lifetime buys of legacy 
semiconductors for systems that will need to remain in service 
far into the future significantly limits the ability to upgrade 
capabilities with modern electronics and software. The 
committee is also concerned that the DOD's model of designing 
custom chips and contracting for very small production 
quantities runs completely counter to the economics and 
technical foundations of the microelectronics industry, which 
is based on high-volume production of constantly improving 
commodity chips.
    The committee therefore directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Research and Engineering (USD (R&E)) to commission 
an independent assessment from experts in the field of 
commercial microelectronics and DOD requirements for 
microelectronics of the feasibility and the cost-benefit 
calculus of: (1) Upgrading the microelectronics in legacy 
systems with long projected service lives with modern 
semiconductors and new software via modeling, emulation, and 
testing rather than attempting lifetime buys of obsolete chips; 
and (2) Minimizing or even eliminating requirements for low 
volume custom-designed semiconductors and instead buying 
commodity commercial products and tailoring them to specific 
applications through heterogeneous packaging and software 
programming. The committee directs the USD (R&E) to provide a 
briefing to the congressional defense committees on the results 
of this assessment not later than March 31, 2023.

Additive manufacturing implementation strategy

    The committee recognizes the importance of additive 
manufacturing advances to help reduce sustainment costs and 
increase performance of new and existing systems. The committee 
believes that the Department of Defense (DOD) is making good 
progress in adapting to and adopting additive manufacturing 
technologies, and applauds the Department for publishing an 
Additive Manufacturing Strategy in January 2021, through the 
DOD's Joint Defense Manufacturing Council. The committee notes 
that this strategy is helping to promote additive manufacturing 
expansion, standardization, and training through new policies 
and collaboration efforts. However, though this strategy 
exists, it lacks many necessary implementation details to help 
translate that policy into more concrete action.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Research and Engineering, in coordination with the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment and 
the service acquisition executives, to provide an 
implementation strategy for additive manufacturing to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than November 1, 2023. This 
implementation strategy shall include:
          (1) A roadmap that addresses the workforce skills 
        needed to support the technologies covered by the 
        strategy;
          (2) Proposals for demonstration projects to assess 
        relevant concepts, models, technologies, and 
        engineering barriers;
          (3) Proposals for the application of additive 
        manufacturing for warfighting capabilities;
          (4) Proposals for the application of additive 
        manufacturing to achieve agile, resilient, and 
        integrated logistics and sustainment for distributed 
        operations;
          (5) Proposals for the application of additive 
        manufacturing to establish quality assurance practices 
        for system and technological maintenance;
          (6) Proposals for launching pilot programs in which 
        the Secretary may work with industry and academic 
        institutions to develop and implement additive 
        manufacturing standards and practices;
          (7) Identification of relevant infrastructure, 
        facilities, or tooling within Department of Defense 
        laboratories or test and evaluation facilities that 
        might contribute to such proposals, and other 
        collaborative programs with industry or academia;
          (8) Identification and designation of centers of 
        excellence for additive manufacturing technology within 
        Defense organizations and operational units (such as 
        the Maine Air National Guard 101st Air Refueling Wing) 
        to support increased collaboration and interaction with 
        research organizations, industry, and academia to link 
        operationally relevant user feedback to other research 
        efforts; and
          (9) Identification of potential additive 
        manufacturing technology innovation ecosystems that 
        could support defense mission needs.

Assessment of directed energy technologies

    The committee supports the current efforts of the military 
services to develop an array of high-powered laser and 
microwave directed energy weapons for land, sea, and air 
applications. By achieving higher power levels, near continuous 
shot availability, and low downtime for recharge or heat 
dissipation, these systems aim to effectively defeat hardened 
and swarming threats. The committee is aware that in February 
2022, White Sands Missile Range hosted the first ever 
demonstration of a ``deep magazine'' directed energy weapon, 
known as the Layered Laser Defense, proving viability of a 
system capable of near continuous shot availability with 
limited downtime. The committee believes this will enable more 
effective defense against swarming and hardened threats raised 
by geographic combatant commanders, including unmanned systems, 
rockets, artillery, mortars, and hypersonic missiles.
    The committee encourages the military services to 
incorporate components from these newly demonstrated 
technologies into ongoing directed energy research and 
development to facilitate deeper magazine and higher power 
levels with reduced size and weight. The committee is concerned 
that demonstrated high duty cycle technologies with significant 
size, weight, power, and cost effectiveness are underutilized 
in the scope of current developments, with services settling 
for more limited shot time, power level, and mobility. As such, 
not later than March 1, 2023, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide the congressional defense 
committees a briefing on how recently demonstrated capabilities 
at the 100kW level and above compare with the technologies 
currently being developed and evaluated by the military 
services and how incorporation into current directed energy 
programs will impact critical factors, including cost, 
schedule, size, weight, power, operationally relevant testing, 
and mission flexibility. The briefing shall also describe 
existing technological gaps that may prevent integration of 
more capable subsystems.

Bomber-focused Agile Combat Employment

    The committee understands that Agile Combat Employment 
(ACE) is an Air Force-driven operational concept meant to 
leverage networks of well-established and austere air bases, 
multi-capable airmen, pre-positioned equipment, and airlift 
capabilities to rapidly deploy, disperse, and maneuver combat 
capability throughout a theater. Paired with aircraft fueling, 
arming, and limited maintenance activities, ACE expands the 
number of bases from which the U.S. military can generate 
sorties. So far, this has mostly focused on tactical fighters 
and mobility forces, not on expeditionary bomber capability. 
Therefore, the committee believes the Air Force also needs to 
apply bomber-focused ACE to U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, U.S. 
European Command, and to operations within the United States.
    Many options for operating and launching strategic forces 
have vanished due to base closures, neglect, and crumbling 
infrastructure. Those that remain viable will likely follow 
suit unless they are maintained and exercised. Bomber-focused 
ACE exercises also provide more opportunities to train multi-
capable airmen and exercise planners without the added expense 
of and foreign dependence for an overseas exercise. There are 
locations within the continental United States (CONUS) and 
Alaska that have the necessary runways and infrastructure 
without existing bomber units, thereby allowing austere 
training while mitigating risk. Additional exercises in North 
America would ensure the ACE concept (to include bombers) can 
be executed proficiently in practice.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide to the congressional defense committees, not 
later than January 31, 2023, a report describing the 
feasibility of bomber-focused ACE exercises in the Pacific, 
Europe, and within CONUS and Alaska. The report shall include 
any currently scheduled ACE exercises including bombers within 
the CONUS or elsewhere. The report shall also include a list of 
requirements for a base or location to be used in such an 
exercise, to include a breakdown of requirements for various 
types of exercises such as nuclear bomber exercises or 
conventional bomber exercises. Finally, the report shall 
include a list of those bases and locations currently meeting 
such requirements and those that could do so with minor 
modification.

Circuit density study

    The committee believes that the Nation must work to retain 
technological advantage relative to adversaries and potential 
adversaries, particularly in critical fields such as 
semiconductor development. Within that field, the committee 
understands that scaling advances--decreasing transistor node 
size while increasing the density--of superconducting circuits 
can enable the practical application of this technology to data 
centers and cloud computing, yielding dramatic increases in 
energy efficiency.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to seek to enter into a contract with a federally funded 
research and development center to produce and provide to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than December 1, 
2023, a study and technological roadmap that explores the 
limits of increasing superconducting circuit density. The study 
shall include: (1) An examination of the limitations of scaling 
to feature sizes of 10 nanometers or smaller; (2) Limitations 
that would impact performance as a result of further compacting 
circuit components; and (3) New circuit operation approaches 
that may improve speed, performance, or compactness of these 
circuits.

Commercial off-the-shelf acquisition and test strategies

    The committee notes that Federal acquisition rules already 
require agencies to prioritize and procure commercial items, to 
the maximum extent practicable, over custom development. The 
commercial item preference for both products and services 
allows the Department of Defense (DOD) to rely on the 
innovation and economies of scale of the commercial marketplace 
to help reduce cost while increasing productivity and 
responsiveness to constantly evolving technology. The committee 
recognizes that commercial products and services could help to 
streamline the Department's acquisition system with respect to 
accelerated schedules, more affordable solutions, and provide 
for more innovative commercially mature technologies.
    The committee believes the Department could better leverage 
significant commercial investment in critical technology areas 
that in turn should compress program development timelines and 
costs. The committee encourages the Department to consider 
commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) or modified COTS technology as 
part of the requirements generation process, formal request for 
proposal process, as well as in development of test and 
evaluation master plans. The committee also believes such an 
approach could be valuably applied to sustainment planning to 
help upgrade existing systems over time to integrate newer, 
improved technology in ways that extend the life of and reduce 
the lifecycle costs for legacy programs.
    The committee expects the requirements, acquisition, and 
test communities to begin addressing how the Department 
identifies, evaluates, and integrates primarily COTS-based 
systems into programs, including how the DOD approaches 
coordination on the development of realistic test and 
evaluation master plans for such efforts.

Comptroller General assessment of university scholarships to support 
        future defense quantum information science workforce needs

    The committee recognizes the potential benefits that 
quantum information sciences will provide for future national 
security missions. While it is nearly impossible to forecast 
the timeline when utility-scale quantum information systems 
will be available for militarily useful purposes, it is 
important to ensure that the workforce exists at the time of 
need. In order to be better prepared when that uncertain future 
arrives, the committee believes that the Department of Defense 
(DOD) should be planning for and developing the future 
workforce to ensure that the necessary human capital exists 
when the technology is ready for deployment. The DOD has many 
tools at its disposal to support those goals, including many 
science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) scholarship 
and fellowship programs that can be used to grow the field, as 
well as scholarship-for-service programs that can be used to 
attract qualified personnel into Defense laboratory, test, and 
evaluation (T&E) and technical management positions.
    To better assess the Department of Defense's planning and 
workforce development capabilities in this space, the committee 
directs the Comptroller General of the United States to review 
DOD university scholarship and fellowship programs supporting 
quantum information science needs in the Department and provide 
a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives. This review shall: (1) Examine 
the Department's planning for workforce needs for quantum 
information science over the next 10 years, including an 
assessment of the number of billets in the Defense laboratories 
and T&E centers and the ability of those organizations to grow 
or adapt their current workforce to fill these needs; (2) 
Assess current STEM programs across the Department to see how 
they are utilized to produce graduates in quantum information 
sciences; (3) Examine linkages between the workforce planning 
and STEM scholarship and fellowship programs to determine the 
adequacy and effectiveness of the pipeline between the two; and 
(4) Identify opportunities for improvement in any of these 
processes.
    The Comptroller General shall provide a briefing to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than February 1, 2023, and a report 
at a mutually agreed upon date.

Comptroller General review of operational testing for Navy ships

    The committee notes that when effectively used, operational 
testing provides timely information to determine whether or not 
Navy ships and other weapon systems will achieve their desired 
results. The data generated through this testing can be used to 
improve the remaining ships in a class and their critical 
systems before they reach the fleet, as well as the designs of 
future ship classes.
    The committee further notes that the Government 
Accountability Office has found that operational testing 
revealed significant concerns with the performance of a number 
of new ship classes. For example, the Director of Operational 
Test and Evaluation found during operational testing that one 
variant of the Littoral Combat Ship could not achieve the range 
requirements for the ship--a critical parameter of ship 
performance. Further, operational testing exposed common issues 
across ship classes, such as concerns with cybersecurity, 
lethality, and survivability.
    To support operational testing, the committee understands 
the Navy uses its current self-defense test ship, the ex-USS 
Paul F. Foster, to test ship systems that cannot be 
sufficiently tested on crewed Navy ships or through 
simulations. However, this test ship will no longer be in a 
ready state after 2025. With a replacement solution still not 
determined, the committee is concerned that the Navy risks 
impairing its ability to perform operationally realistic 
testing for a number of critical programs.
    The committee also understands the Navy will be conducting 
operational testing over the next 5 years for the Zumwalt-class 
destroyer and the Ford-class aircraft carrier--two of the 
Navy's most expensive and challenging acquisitions over the 
past decade--as well as the newest variant of Arleigh Burke-
class destroyer with advanced air and missile defense radar 
technologies. With these new ships and future lead ships, like 
the new Constellation-class frigate, it is critical to ensure 
that the Navy takes action to address issues identified through 
operational testing that could affect the ability of the 
Nation's sailors to effectively, safely, and reliably conduct 
assigned missions.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to assess the adequacy of current and planned 
operational testing for Navy shipbuilding programs, including: 
(1) The policies and procedures used to develop test plans and 
operationally test Navy vessels; (2) The extent to which Navy 
vessels meet expectations during operational testing; (3) The 
extent to which operational test results are used by the Navy 
to inform changes to its shipbuilding programs; (4) Changes, if 
any, in the test and evaluation approach based on changes in 
the threat environment; (5) The Navy's plans for a self-defense 
test ship replacement; and (6) The implications for Navy 
acquisition programs.
    The Comptroller General shall provide a briefing to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on preliminary findings, not later than June 
30, 2023, and submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees on an agreed-upon date.

Coordination of investments for model-based systems engineering

    The committee is aware of the Department of Defense (DOD)'s 
interest in model-based systems engineering (MBSE) approaches 
and tools to help improve the rigor and application of digital 
tools for systems engineering practices through reusable and 
extensible systems engineering artifacts. The committee 
recognizes that MBSE approaches support both improved research 
and development, but also make the transition into acquisition 
systems of record and ultimately sustainment more seamless. 
MBSE digital artifacts can also support related efforts by 
providing inputs that can be used in tradeoff analysis, 
modeling and simulation support, and modular open systems 
approaches.
    However, the committee is also aware that such efforts 
appear to be advocated more from the bottom-up and not driven 
in a concerted or coordinated fashion from the top-down. The 
committee is concerned that approach results in unwarranted 
duplication, dilution of effort, and inconsistent adoption 
across the Department. In order to reap the full benefits from 
MBSE, the committee believes that there needs to be greater 
transparency and coordination of MBSE investments across the 
Department.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a report to the congressional defense committees, 
not later than May 1, 2023, on the investments in MBSE efforts 
across the DOD, and the plan for establishing a coordinating 
mechanism to guide future investments and support adoption into 
programs for MBSE.

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency collaboration

    The committee is aware that rotorcraft aircrews face 
numerous demands when flying near buildings, terrain and 
people, and the threat of adversary radar systems. The 
committee understands that the current warning systems are 
limiting and can induce unanticipated cognitive burdens on 
pilots, increasing the number of military personnel's complex 
tasks. The committee recognizes the efforts of the Defense 
Advanced Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) collaboration with 
commercial industries and academia to develop artificial 
intelligence systems and autonomy technology integrated into 
rotorcraft, such as the UH-60 Black Hawk, to help helicopter 
pilots perform both expected and unexpected complex tasks. The 
committee believes that the Aircrew Labor In-Cockpit Automation 
System program is one such example of collaboration resulting 
in such technology posing a demonstrable benefit to an entire 
mission from takeoff to landing. The committee supports the 
ongoing efforts of DARPA in collaboration with commercial 
industry and academia in providing innovative technologies and 
critical capabilities and encourages continued utilization of 
such collaboration.

Defense Innovation Unit Blue List

    The committee commends the Department of Defense (DOD) for 
its efforts to ensure small UAS (sUAS) systems procured by the 
Department comply with section 848 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) to 
ensure these drones or critical components of these drones do 
not come from China.
    The committee understands the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) 
evaluates commercial sUAS systems and clears them for use by 
the rest of the DOD in what is known as the ``Blue List.'' 
While not intended by the Department, the committee further 
understands many agencies inside and outside of the DOD have 
deemed the DIU ``Blue List'' as the official authorization for 
contracting agencies to purchase sUAS systems.
    The committee notes that sUAS systems procured by other DOD 
entities that have achieved authority to operate in compliance 
with section 848 do not have an expedited path to be included 
on the publicized DIU ``Blue List.'' This situation has led to 
confusion within industry and among Government agencies about 
whether a specific model sUAS has been cleared for Government 
use.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing, not later than April 1, 2023, to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on a streamlined process for including all sUAS 
types that have achieved authority to operate on the DIU ``Blue 
List.'' This process should enable all DOD sUAS types that have 
authority to operate to be included on the DIU ``Blue List'' so 
that all agencies inside and outside the DOD have visibility on 
approved sUAS systems. In addition, this process should include 
periodic updates to add new types or remove older systems.

Development of an Advanced Digital Switching Research, Development, 
        Test and Evaluation Initiative

    The committee notes that advanced digital switching 
technology is a critical enabler for reducing the size, weight, 
power, and cost for a wide range of defense systems and 
electronics. The replacement of physical switches allows for 
systems developers to put more capability into the same size 
factor (or smaller), while achieving higher performance and 
more energy efficiency. The committee believes that the pursuit 
of more advanced designs will open up additional design choices 
for future system developers, but requires more collaboration 
and interaction between various development communities. The 
committee encourages the Under Secretaries of Defense for 
Research and Engineering and Acquisition and Sustainment to 
work proactively to find opportunities to seek out domestic 
vendors whose digital switch and relay technology products can 
dramatically decrease size, weight, power, and cost and 
actively take steps to transition their switches into the 
design of both future and legacy systems. The committee also 
believes that semiconductor produced switches offer important 
new types of capability and should also be considered for their 
technical properties for support under any Department of 
Defense initiatives.

Development of next-generation naval mines

    The committee recognizes the important role that naval 
mines have played in past conflicts. For example, analysis 
conducted after World War II indicated the cost effectiveness 
of mine warfare against Japan in comparison to submarine 
warfare, as well as other lessons that are applicable for 
consideration in today's security environment. Emerging 
operational concepts from the Navy and Marine Corps have 
brought a new spotlight on a capability that has largely 
atrophied in the U.S. military.
    The committee notes that some progress is being made to 
reinvigorate naval mining capabilities focused on new systems 
and techniques that leverage advances from other technical 
disciplines, like autonomous operations, sensing, power 
storage, and undersea recharging. The committee is optimistic 
that the aggregation of these technological advances, coupled 
with the renewed interest in concept experimentation that could 
leverage these capabilities, provides a good opportunity to 
prototype and experiment with next generation naval mines.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Chief of Naval 
Research to provide a briefing on research and development to 
support next-generation naval mines to the committee, not later 
than May 1, 2023. This briefing shall include the current state 
of research and development, opportunities for experimentation 
and rapid prototyping, assessment of the desired capabilities 
based on operational demand, and identification of any research 
gaps for enabling technologies or supporting systems that might 
be needed to employ such capability.

Domestic millimeter wave technology for next-gen 5G infrastructure

    The committee remains supportive of efforts to strengthen 
the domestic industrial base for modern microelectronics 
manufacturing capabilities. The committee also recognizes the 
importance of this infrastructure in maintaining a robust, 
secure, and needed capability for next-generation information 
networks.
    As the Department of Defense increases investments in next-
generation information technology research and development, the 
Department should consider investing in domestically developed 
technology with dual-use capability for passive and active 
millimeter wave (mmWave) components.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the congressional defense committees, not 
later than April 1, 2023, on:
          (1) How the Department plans to leverage domestic 
        mmWave components that support applications at 
        frequencies above 30 gigahertz;
          (2) What ongoing programs in the Department are 
        focused on such efforts; and
          (3) What mechanisms and resources the Department is 
        currently using to support commercial advancements in 
        5G component capabilities to enhance next-generation 
        infrastructure development and deployment.

Gaming, exercising, modeling, and simulation to support great power 
        competition

    The committee notes that the renewed emphasis on great 
power competition in the Department of Defense (DOD) calls for 
the ability to understand and integrate all of the elements of 
national power, including military, economic, and informational 
instruments. The committee is aware that the Defense Science 
Board (DSB), in a report from January 2021, titled ``Gaming, 
Exercising, Modeling and Simulation (GEMS),'' examined aspects 
of this issue and made a number of recommendations to direct 
the Department's research and engineering enterprise to develop 
a more rigorous, quantitative, and repeatable approach to 
analysis of complex problems of great power competition. As 
noted by the DSB, ``GEMS tools and capabilities provide cost 
effective and innovative ways to test new ideas and concepts, 
design and prototype new systems, model military campaigns, 
conduct geopolitical analysis, and provide training to improve 
warfighter readiness and performance. The task force observed 
that such capabilities are increasingly important in today's 
highly competitive and dynamic strategic environment associated 
with the return to great power competition and that 
technological advances have made GEMS capabilities even more 
powerful and useful than they were in the past. While the DOD 
has pockets of GEMS excellence and innovation, the task force 
observed that it lacks the necessary integration, resources, 
and talent to reap the full benefit now available from GEMS. 
Particularly lacking are mechanisms to effectively integrate 
insights derived from GEMS into senior leader decision-making 
about defense requirements and acquisition programs.''
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees 
on the current state of development, evaluation, and validation 
for GEMS capabilities as applied to great power competition. 
The briefing shall include several use cases, such as economic 
sanctions, influence campaigns, or gray zone conflict 
experimentation, in order to illustrate the understanding of 
the use, effectiveness, and limitations of such tools, along 
with a description of possible activities that would improve 
the scientific basis, adoption, operational use, or 
experimentation of GEMS tools in the future. The committee 
believes that this briefing should evaluate such use cases in a 
similar way that the Department develops an understanding of 
the capacities of kinetic and cyber weapons prior to their 
deployment and use, especially in the use of modeling 
capabilities, testing, and quantitative analyses to support 
development and deployment. The briefing shall be provided not 
later than July 1, 2023, in public release, unclassified, and 
classified formats as appropriate.

Graphitic composites and foam for special operations forces 
        communications and intelligence support systems

    The committee understands U.S. Special Operations Command 
(SOCOM) is working to develop lower cost, wider application 
graphitic composite and graphitic foam components in support of 
special operations forces communications and intelligence 
support systems. The committee understands that graphitic 
composite and foam components may reduce weight, increase 
strength, enhance mission capability, and extend service life 
for these programs. Additionally, graphitic foam may reduce 
component heat signatures, improve heat dissipation from 
electronic devices and sensors, and cool electronic 
compartments in demanding environments. The committee 
encourages SOCOM to continue its efforts to test, develop, and 
field low-cost carbon fiber and graphitic carbon foam in 
support of its programs, as appropriate.

Head supported mass

    The committee is aware of the physiological impacts to the 
neck and spine of servicemembers that result from carrying 
excess amounts of weight or mass on their head for extended 
periods of time. This problem is especially pervasive in the 
special operations and aviation communities, often requires 
surgery to correct, and can result in permanent disability. The 
military departments have made progress in fielding new 
equipment, such as ballistic helmets, to help mitigate the 
impacts of excess amounts of head supported mass. However, new 
systems are continually being fielded that attach to the 
various types of military helmets currently in use. The 
committee encourages the Secretary of Defense and the military 
departments to continue researching and developing mitigation 
techniques to prevent injuries from head support mass and 
enhance readiness.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense, in consultation with the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Research and Engineering, to submit a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than March 1, 2023, 
on the plan to mitigate injuries from head supported mass and 
enhance readiness.

Hypersonic defensive and offensive capabilities 

    The committee notes the Department of Defense's overdue 
investment in fielding hypersonic defensive and offensive 
capabilities. The committee encourages additional funding for 
defensive and offensive capability to enable the Department to 
not just pace, but leap ahead of peer competitors. The 
committee encourages the Department to break down barriers 
between services, leverage the role of the Joint Hypersonic 
Transition Office, and rapidly break down barriers in 
acquisition policies to quickly field defensive and offensive 
systems. The committee encourages the Department to accept a 
more risk-tolerant approach and utilize best practices from the 
commercial sector to manage risks during scale production. 
Examples include employing a digital enterprise linking the 
design, manufacturing processes, and performance requirements 
to rapidly assess impacts of changes. As more ground and flight 
testing is performed, modeling and simulation can be more 
confidently employed to advance designs while mitigating risk. 
The committee encourages the Department to adopt a mindset of a 
partnership approach with industry to take advantage of 
innovation. The Department would be wise to consider an 
integrated product team that considers all stakeholders--
material suppliers, component fabricator, system integrator, 
and customers (services and combatant commands) in leaping 
ahead of peer competitors. The committee believes that by 
adopting such a risk-tolerant approach, leveraging commercial 
best practices, investing in highly adaptable and flexible 
capabilities, and harnessing industry expertise, the Nation's 
goal of fielding strategic hypersonic weapons affordably and 
within accelerated program timelines is achievable.
    However, one of the greatest concerns of the committee is 
the ability to test hypersonic systems, which requires 
extensive range space and sophisticated testing capabilities. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing, not later than March 31, 2023, to the 
congressional defense committees on the capabilities and 
shortfalls of existing and planned Department of Defense, 
academia, and industry testing facilities to ensure the on-time 
development and fielding of these critical hypersonic systems.

Low-cost attritable aircraft 

    The committee is concerned the Air Force is not moving fast 
enough with development and testing of low-cost attritable 
aircraft to give the Department the scale and speed necessary 
to compete with potential future adversaries. The committee has 
been supportive of Air Force efforts to procure Valkyrie 
aircraft and has encouraged the Air Force to expedite the 
transition of Valkyrie to the Advanced Aircraft Capability 
Development activity. However, the committee understands the 
Air Force is considering further study of low-cost attritable 
aircraft designs rather than accelerating development of a 
platform and transitioning it to a program of record, as the 
Vanguard programs were designed to do. Given the advances in 
similar systems by near-peer adversaries, it is critical the 
Air Force accelerate its fielding of an operationally capable 
low-cost attritable aircraft, rather than devote more time and 
resources to study the situation further.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees, not later than February 1, 2023, that details how 
the Air Force intends to transition low-cost attritable 
aircraft technologies into operational systems.

Microelectronics standards for quantifiable assurance

    The committee is aware that the Department of Defense's 
(DOD) present microelectronics security strategy rests on a 
decision to partner with leading commercial semiconductor 
companies to understand, quantify, further develop, and codify 
in standards the existing processes used to protect the 
integrity and confidentiality of intellectual property (IP) in 
commercial integrated circuits. This approach, referred to as 
quantifiable assurance, rests on data and processes that are 
inherent in the commercial processes at microelectronics design 
and manufacturing facilities through comprehensive 
instrumentation and data analysis of each step in design and 
production.
    Commercial fabless semiconductor companies, in partnership 
with their foundry manufacturers, use these quantifiable 
assurance processes today for quality control and IP 
protection. These commercial companies manufacture millions of 
chips a day with very high yields in a very competitive 
industry, and thus have demonstrated these processes are 
economically viable. The Department is exploring these 
processes in partnership with a commercial foundry to 
manufacture a chip for its next-generation Global Positioning 
System (GPS) receivers (known as the M-Code GPS User Equipment 
(MGUE)). Between this MGUE program of record precedent and the 
massive use of these quantifiable assurance methods in 
commercial industry's quality control processes, the committee 
is confident that the DOD can develop an approach with industry 
partners that meets its security needs without incurring 
unsustainable costs or threatening the commercial viability of 
its industry partners.
    The committee believes that this approach for quantifiable 
assurance is more viable in the long run, and more closely 
aligns with commercial practices, than traditional approaches 
for dedicated Trusted Foundries. The committee understands that 
the benefit of this methodology is that it enables hardware 
designs to be processed through commercial manufacturing 
facilities, at high volume and in compliance with the 
International Traffic in Arms Regulations without requiring 
classified facilities, equipment, processes, or personnel with 
security clearances. However, the Department has asserted to 
the DOD Inspector General in a recent letter that it is not 
possible to create a plan for transition to a quantifiable 
assurance model until the methodology has been ``proven to 
effectively provide required levels of protection equal to or 
greater than what is currently provided by the [Trusted 
Foundry] model.''
    Given the differences in the approaches and the fundamental 
challenge in proving any security model, the committee is 
concerned that the DOD is creating an insurmountable hurdle 
that is discouraging an adequate risk trade-off assessment for 
the quantifiable assurance approach. Therefore, in order to 
ensure that a diversity of views are available to inform 
decisions in this critical and complex matter, the committee 
directs the Chief Scientist of the Air Force to conduct an 
independent review and lead supporting efforts for the 
quantifiable assurance effort underway in the Office of the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering (USD 
R&E). The committee directs that these efforts and the review 
of the Department's approach to quantifiable assurance include: 
(1) Examples of existing quantifiable assurance standards from 
industry and international partners and their effectiveness; 
(2) Mapping of data sources that would provide this information 
to process workflows in order to identify any gaps in data, or 
data sources; (3) Leveraging of the Air Force's MGUE 
experience; and (4) Formalization of a threat model and threat 
vectors against which quantifiable assurance and other security 
models shall be assessed. In conducting the review and 
development, the committee expects the Chief Scientist of the 
Air Force to include participation and input from entities with 
expertise in commercial implementations of quantifiable 
assurance and in threat assessment. The committee directs the 
Chief Scientist to provide a briefing to the congressional 
defense committees on this effort not later than June 1, 2023.
    The committee notes that the USD R&E has initiated an 
independent assessment of the feasibility and viability of 
quantifiable assurance. The committee directs that this effort 
include participants from the fabless semiconductor industry 
and the National Security Agency.

Modeling and simulation of defense industrial base supply chains

    The committee is aware of work within the Defense Advanced 
Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop modeling and 
simulation (M&S) tools to better understand the complex web of 
interactions and dependencies within defense industrial base 
supply chains. Historically, the Department of Defense has had 
little insight into the lower tiers of supplies, and thus has 
lacked the ability to make informed decisions to prevent single 
points of failure, identify opportunities to thoughtfully 
expand supply by bringing new sub-tier entrants into the 
industrial base, or predict when the disappearance of a sub-
tier supplier will have a negative impact on the overall supply 
chain.
    Current events have brought these problems to the forefront 
for acquisition decision makers. For example, the supply chain 
issues caused by COVID-19 disruptions have highlighted both the 
problems of the impact of sub-tier supplier shortages on 
overall production capacity, as well as the lack of information 
the supplier base has on rapidly ramping up production in the 
case of an emergency contingency. More recently, the move to 
supply Stinger missiles to Ukraine in their defense against 
Russian aggression has put a spotlight on the need to have 
better monitoring of the supply chain to allow for rapid 
scaling of production.
    The committee supports DARPA's supply chain modeling work, 
and believes that such efforts can be useful in providing the 
data collection and industrial base health monitoring needed to 
improve industrial policy decision making. The committee 
encourages closer collaboration with the office of the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, as well 
as the Director for the Defense Logistics Agency to improve 
coordination, gain better operational insight, and provide 
potential transition pathways as this technology is validated.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide the committee a briefing on DARPA's capabilities for 
modeling the defense industrial base, including specific supply 
chains, not later than January 20, 2023. This briefing should 
include: (1) The current status of DARPA's program, including 
plans for the upcoming year; (2) Assessment of similar 
capabilities being developed, tested, or used operationally by 
other components in the Department that could be incorporated 
into the DARPA capability; (3) Identification and assessment of 
commercial capabilities currently available in the marketplace 
that might supplement or be incorporated into the DARPA 
capability; (4) Identification of data or capability gaps; (5) 
Identification of use, cases, or experimentation venues that 
could be used to provide operational utility assessment or 
feedback; and (6) Coordination processes to ensure transition 
partners have visibility into the program.

Navy submarine nickel zinc battery program

    The committee understands the Navy has been developing and 
evaluating nickel zinc (NiZn) battery technology for 
application in submarine main storage batteries.
    The committee notes that NiZn batteries being tested are 
optimized for high capacity and long life while also delivering 
high power using an environmentally friendly and safe 
chemistry. The Navy also projects NiZn batteries to have over 
twice the capacity of lead-acid batteries at three quarters of 
the weight and within the same battery footprint. The committee 
also notes that NiZn chemistry represents a technology that can 
be developed and manufactured domestically.
    Accordingly, the committee strongly supports the continued 
development and engineering efforts associated with advancing 
the manufacturability of NiZn technology and implementation of 
NiZn technology into Navy submarines, when appropriate, to 
improve mission performance.

NC-135W retirement

    The committee understands that the Air Force intends to 
divest the NC-135W testbed aircraft at or before its next 
scheduled depot. While the committee supports the Air Force's 
plan to replace the legacy aircraft with an aircraft in an 
operationally representative configuration, the committee 
remains concerned about a potential capability gap during the 
interim period after the retirement of the NC-135W and before 
the replacement NC-135 reaches initial operational capability.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the defense committees, not 
later than December 1, 2022, on the Air Force's plan to 
evaluate novel technologies for the RC-135 fleet until the 
replacement aircraft for the NC-135W reaches initial 
operational capability.

Optimizing research within Department of Defense

    The committee recognizes that the identification and 
placement of undergraduate and post-graduate scientific 
research fellows and interns within technical organizations in 
the military branches and Defense-wide laboratories is critical 
to the Department of Defense. Scientifically and technically 
trained personnel are important to the research, development, 
and testing enterprise and to better inform policy development. 
Additionally, the committee is increasingly concerned about the 
capacity and capabilities of the current and projected science, 
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce 
pipeline. The committee is concerned that administrative, 
logistical, budgetary, and planning barriers further compound 
the Department's long-term ability to foster and onboard these 
STEM fellows and interns in productive ways.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Research and Engineering to provide a briefing to 
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than January 1, 2023, on strategies, 
opportunities, and approaches to enhance the STEM workforce 
pipeline for the Department of Defense, including 
identification of structural, administrative, or regulatory 
impediments that inhibit the Department's ability to provide 
more positions for STEM fellows and interns, as well as 
proposed recommendations for mitigating those impediments.

Plan for scaling and integrating National Security Innovation Capital

    The committee applauds the Department of Defense for 
providing for investment for the National Security Innovation 
Capital (NSIC) program in the future years defense program. The 
committee views the mission of the NSIC to help invest in key 
technology sectors and make strategic bets to prevent emerging 
technologies and companies from receiving investment from 
potential adversarial governments as a necessary tool in the 
Government's toolbox of innovation. However, the committee is 
also aware that in order to provide that embedded funding 
stream, the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) was required to take 
that dedicated funding out of its existing budget. The 
committee is concerned that this approach is detrimental to the 
other key function of DIU to invest more broadly in commercial 
hardware of benefit to the Department. The committee is 
concerned that such a move is short-sighted.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide the committee a briefing on a plan by January 20, 
2023 for scaling the NSIC investment to a sustainable level 
within the DIU organization without negatively impacting the 
other funding activities in that organization. In addition, the 
briefing shall also address how to better integrate NSIC 
activities with other related and supporting capabilities. For 
example, the ability to offer loan guarantees (rather than 
direct investment) to support small and non-traditional 
business might have utility. Additionally, the integration of 
private equity and venture capital funding to complement 
Government funding could support the mission of NSIC, but would 
require thinking creatively about how to foster and engage that 
private sector finance community to support defense needs.

Research and Development roadmap for technologies for operations in the 
        information environment

    The committee remains deeply concerned that the Department 
of Defense (DOD) is not effectively preparing the joint force 
to conduct rapid coordinated operations in the information 
environment. While there has been recognition of the challenges 
inherent in this, as indicated by the development of the 
Strategy and Joint Concept for Operating in the Information 
Environment, such documents have not been translated into 
tangible actions or capabilities. For example, the 2018 report, 
``Implementation of the Department of Defense 2016 Strategy for 
Operations in the Information Environment,'' lacked detail, 
defined actions, or tangible metrics to lead to any meaningful 
progress.
    The committee believes that the Department should be taking 
concrete steps to move beyond rhetoric to measurable action and 
empowering the Principal Information Operations Advisor to 
create capabilities that benefit the joint force. The committee 
notes that a glaring deficiency for the Department is the lack 
of a full spectrum suite of technical capabilities and 
underlying science and technology base to address the gaps and 
investment needs of the joint force.
    To that end, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense, acting through the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Research and Engineering and in consultation with the Principal 
Information Operations Advisor, to submit a research and 
development (R&D) roadmap for technologies that support 
operations in the information environment to the congressional 
defense committees, not later than December 15, 2023.
    This R&D roadmap shall be submitted in an unclassified 
format (but may include a classified annex) and shall include 
the following elements:
          (1) An assessment of relevant ongoing or planned 
        across the future years defense plan (FYDP) science and 
        technology needs for the joint force (including a 
        repository to track those efforts);
          (2) A gap analysis of science and technology needs 
        not currently being addressed in the current fiscal 
        year 2023 budget across the FYDP;
          (3) A list of technology needs across the FYDP 
        prioritized by operational joint forces;
          (4) Identification of relevant technical standards 
        that could be used to guide development of a unifying 
        architecture for relevant capabilities;
          (5) An assessment of the in-house R&D capabilities 
        and scientific support that might be provided through a 
        federation of capabilities from the DOD research, 
        development, test, and evaluation enterprise;
          (6) Identification and assessment of wargaming, 
        prototyping, and experimentation venues to support 
        capability development and validation;
          (7) Identification of a technology scouting process, 
        as well as existing capabilities with the DOD that 
        might be used to organize and staff such a process;
          (8) Development of a concept for an information 
        operations campaign component to support integrated 
        deterrence; and
          (9) Supporting metrics, measures of performance and 
        data to support the application of modeling, 
        simulation, and artificial intelligence-enabled 
        predictive analysis to support the joint force.

Reusable commercial capabilities for rapid hypersonic prototyping

    The committee commends the Department of Defense for years 
of meaningful investment and concerted focus in developing, 
experimenting, and refining the application of hypersonic 
technologies to support warfighting missions. The committee 
recognizes the imperative to close the gap with foreign 
adversaries, but remains concerned that the technical risk, 
high cost of testing, and mission complexity have prevented the 
necessary scale and repetition of tests to keep pace with 
potential adversarial developments.
    The committee believes that the Department could do more to 
take advantage of commercial solutions from the private sector 
in order to leverage reusable commercial hypersonic 
capabilities as a means to mitigate those challenges. For 
example, the committee notes that the Department's hypersonics 
developments have been hindered by booster development 
setbacks. Boosters are necessary to deliver hypersonic payloads 
to the altitude and speed needed. However, slow booster 
development timelines and high development costs combined with 
multiple booster test failures have consumed significant 
attention and resources away from hypersonics payload 
development and served as a limiting factor in validating those 
future capabilities. In addition to increasing the pace of 
testing, leveraging reusable hypersonic technology would 
position the Department to develop multi-mission hypersonic 
platforms, a leap-ahead capability.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Research and Engineering, in consultation with the 
Director of the Joint Hypersonics Transition Office and the 
Service Acquisition Executives, to provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than March 1, 2023, 
describing the strategy to effectively mature and transition 
reusable commercial hypersonic technologies. This briefing 
shall include: (1) Efforts within the military services to 
invest in or leverage commercial launch or recoverable or 
reusable platforms to accelerate hypersonic payload testing and 
the testing needed for hypersonic advanced technologies to 
demonstrate maturity and readiness to insert in military 
service baseline programs; (2) Technology insertion processes 
within military service-led programs to integrate commercial or 
Government developed technology into baseline programs; (3) How 
flexible acquisition authorities or non-traditional 
partnerships could be better leveraged for these programs; and 
(4) Recommended suggestions for providing Defense-wide 
resources to support or augment military service-led execution 
of their programs.

SkyRange

    The committee notes the development of SkyRange under the 
Test Resource Management Center to provide increased flight 
test capacity, operational flexibility, and improved quality 
data collection.
    The committee urges the Secretary of Defense to consider 
making RQ-4 Block 30 aircraft available to the SkyRange 
initiative following Air Force divestment of such aircraft.

Smart concrete material development

    The committee is aware that the Department of Defense (DOD) 
mission is critically reliant upon its transportation 
infrastructure, including road networks, bridges, airfields, 
ports and railroads, many of which contain concrete. The 
committee understands developing innovative materials could 
allow the concrete to adapt to the loading environment and 
provide information for real-time health monitoring of 
infrastructure such as roads, airfields, bridges, and 
buildings. These smart concrete materials will improve the 
performance of concrete structural elements, allow faster 
return to service of repaired pavements, reduce maintenance 
costs, and provide real-time condition monitoring of critical 
infrastructure. The committee encourages the DOD to develop 
novel smart concrete materials technology for constructing 
sustainable infrastructure for the DOD.

Software first strategies

    The committee recognizes that software-defined advanced 
technologies, such as autonomy, artificial intelligence, and 
machine learning, are increasingly essential to the way the 
United States and 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. Legacy weapons systems have 
historically been defined by their hardware platforms, leaving 
software capabilities siloed and making interoperability costly 
and time-consuming. To take full advantage of advanced 
technologies and accelerate the continuous delivery of modern 
defense capabilities, the committee believes that the 
Department of Defense should utilize software-first acquisition 
strategies that prioritize 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 (C-UxS) Systems Integration Partner (SIP) 
program. This program, which is currently fielding a family of 
systems to address the rapidly evolving C-UxS threat, employs a 
software-first acquisition model that requires the SIP to 
continuously adapt and integrate best-in-class sensors and 
effectors produced by many vendors to defeat evolving unmanned 
threats. The program leveraged a competitive downselect process 
that culminated in a multi-day prototype demonstration to test 
and evaluate several vendors' ability to counter the UxS threat 
in a deployed environment. The committee recognizes that such 
an approach not only avoids technological obsolescence but also 
vendor lock. The committee is aware that the Joint Counter-
small Unmanned Aircraft Systems Office (JCO) is reviewing the 
SIP approach as part of its mandate as the executive agent for 
counter-small UxS. The committee supports this competitive 
model and encourages the JCO and the military services' 
acquisition executives to utilize existing authorities to apply 
this software-first approach to future C-UxS and other 
acquisition programs where appropriate.

Sustainable Technology Evaluation and Demonstration program

    The committee commends the Office of the Assistant 
Secretary of Defense for Energy, Installations, and Environment 
(ASD(EI&E)) for initiating the Sustainable Technology 
Evaluation and Demonstration (STED) program and conducting 
successful sustainable technology demonstrations that enhance 
and sustain mission readiness; reduce health and safety impacts 
to the warfighter; increase supply chain security and the use 
of domestically-sourced materials; improve operational 
performance; reduce life-cycle costs; and lessen waste and 
environmental impacts on installations and bases.
    Furthermore, the committee believes that formalizing the 
STED program as a program of record within the Department of 
Defense can facilitate broader awareness and increased 
acceptance of sustainable technologies. Additionally, the 
committee encourages the Department to consider developing and 
implementing additional efforts to enable the transition and 
broad use of successfully demonstrated technologies. 
Accordingly, the committee directs the ASD(EI&E) to provide a 
briefing to the committee, not later than March 1, 2023, 
addressing progress in implementing and expanding the STED 
program to include securing participation with major commands.

Terrain-shaping capabilities

    The committee recognizes the importance of terrain-shaping 
capabilities and the necessary role they play to protect 
friendly ground forces, enhance friendly effects, and influence 
enemy maneuver and movement. The committee commends the 
Department of Defense for developing landmine alternatives and 
encourages aggressive development of these capabilities.
    However, the committee notes that alternative terrain-
shaping capabilities will not be fielded in quantity until the 
early 2030s and encourages the Department to maintain current 
stocks of functional landmines and other terrain-shaping 
capabilities until that time. The committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, 
not later than December 15, 2022, on the timeline for 
acquisition and fielding of landmine alternatives, and the 
current and projected inventory of landmine and terrain-shaping 
capabilities until replaced by advanced landmine alternatives.

Ultra-long endurance unmanned aerial systems

    The committee is aware that the Office of Naval Research is 
developing an operational unmanned intelligence, surveillance, 
and reconnaissance (ISR) capability and that the current 
development effort has produced an ultra-long endurance 
unmanned aerial system. The committee believes that this can 
provide warfighters not only a longer endurance at an 
attritable cost point, but also a significant increase in 
payload capacity compared to existing systems. The committee 
believes that this will allow a multitude of different sensors 
that can be carried simultaneously on a single flight, enabling 
multi-intelligence missions.
    The committee is concerned that combatant commands have a 
critical requirement for persistent airborne ISR in active and 
low-intensity conflicts across highly dispersed regions that is 
not being met by existing unmanned aerial systems.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Chief of Naval 
Research to provide a briefing to the congressional defense 
committees, not later than March 1, 2023, explaining how ISR 
capabilities on persistent, ultra-long endurance (multi-day) 
unmanned aerial systems, that are currently in development, 
address these threats, and a description of any planned future 
efforts to further develop these critical capabilities, 
including future funding needs.

Wearable Gesture Control Technology

    The committee encourages the Army to continue efforts to 
accelerate the development of gesture control technologies that 
can augment the warfighter by enhancing versatility, 
survivability, and lethality. Machine learning-enabled gesture 
control technology to include a wearable capability that 
harnesses wrist-based neural and physical gesture impulses to 
control digital interfaces, unmanned systems, and 
communications, will ensure seamless interface between the 
warfighter and the digital interfaces under their control. The 
committee recognizes the importance of wearable gesture control 
technology as a cross-cutting force multiplier and supports 
development and integration of this dual-purpose capability 
across the services.

                  TITLE III--OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

              Subtitle A--Authorization of Appropriations

Authorization of appropriations (sec. 301)
    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the appropriations for operation and maintenance activities at 
the levels identified in section 4301 of division D of this 
Act.

                   Subtitle B--Energy and Environment

Aggregation of energy conservation measures and funding (sec. 311)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 2911 of title 10, United States Code, to require the 
Department of Defense to consider aggregate energy conservation 
measures with energy resilience enhancement projects and other 
projects that may have a longer payback period.
Establishment of joint working group to determine joint requirements 
        for future operational energy needs of Department of Defense 
        (sec. 312)
    The committee recommends a provision that would direct the 
Secretary of Defense to establish a joint working group to 
determine joint requirements for future operational energy 
needs of the Department of Defense.
Additional special considerations for developing and implementing the 
        energy performance goals and energy performance master plan of 
        the Department of Defense (sec. 313)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 2911(e) of title 10, United States Code, to require the 
Department of Defense to consider the reliability and security 
of energy resources in the event of a military conflict and the 
value of resourcing energy from allies in the North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization along with other major allies.
Participation in pollutant banks and water quality trading (sec. 314)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
chapter 159 of title 10, United States Code, to authorize the 
Secretary of Defense to make payments to a pollutant banking 
program or water quality trading program when engaged in an 
authorized activity that may or will result in the discharge of 
pollutants.
Consideration under Defense Environmental Restoration Program for 
        State-owned facilities of the National Guard with proven 
        exposure of hazardous substances and waste (sec. 315)
    The committee recommends a provision that would restore the 
National Guard's access to the Defense Environmental 
Restoration Program.
Authorization of closure of Red Hill bulk fuel storage facility (sec. 
        316)
    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the Secretary of Defense to close the Red Hill bulk fuel 
storage facility and require a plan for the closure, cleanup, 
monitoring, and maintenance of the facility following closure.
Revision of Unified Facilities Guide Specifications and Unified 
        Facilities Criteria to include specifications on use of gas 
        insulated switchgear and criteria and specifications on 
        microgrids and microgrid converters (sec. 317)
    The committee recommends a provision that would direct the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to 
establish specifications and standards for microgrids, 
microgrid controllers, and gas insulated switchgear.
Transfer of customers from electrical utility system of the Navy at 
        former Naval Air Station Barber's Point, Hawaii, to new 
        electrical system in Kalaeloa, Hawaii (sec. 318)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of the Navy, subject to the availability of 
appropriations, to pay the reasonable costs to transfer 
customers off of the electrical utility system located at 
former Naval Air Station Barber's Point, Hawaii, to the new 
electrical system in Kalaeloa, in accordance with a prior Base 
Realignment and Closure decision.
Pilot program on use of sustainable aviation fuel (sec. 319)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Department of Defense to conduct a pilot program on the use of 
10 percent blend sustainable aviation fuel at two 
geographically diverse locations by 2028.
Renewal of annual environmental and energy reports of Department of 
        Defense (sec. 320)
    The committee recommends a provision that would consolidate 
two long-standing annual environmental and energy reports done 
by the Department of Defense into one report.
Report on feasibility of terminating energy procurement from foreign 
        entities of concern (sec. 321)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy, Installations, and 
Environment to provide a report on the feasibility and 
advisability of terminating energy procurement by the 
Department of Defense from foreign entities of concern.

Subtitle C--Treatment of Perfluoroalkyl Substances and Polyfluoroalkyl 
                               Substances

Increase of transfer authority for funding of study and assessment on 
        health implications of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances 
        contamination in drinking water by Agency for Toxic Substances 
        and Disease Registry (sec. 331)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 316 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), as most recently amended 
by section 342 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81), to extend the 
authorization and funding transfer for the ongoing study and 
assessment on human health impacts of per- and polyfluoroalkyl 
substances in drinking water by the Centers for Disease Control 
and Prevention.
Modification of limitation on disclosure of results of testing for 
        perfluoroalkyl or polyfluoroalkyl substances on private 
        property (sec. 332)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 345(a)(2) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81) to clarify for the 
Department of Defense that personally identifiable information 
should not be publicly released without the consent of the 
private property owner when publishing water testing results 
for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances.
Department of Defense research relating to perfluoroalkyl or 
        polyfluoroalkyl substances (sec. 333)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to publish on the publicly available 
website established under sec. 331(b) of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) 
timely and regularly updated information on the research 
efforts of the Department of Defense relating to per- and 
polyfluoroalkyl substances.

                 Subtitle D--Logistics and Sustainment


Implementation of Comptroller General recommendations regarding 
        Shipyard Infrastructure Optimization Plan of the Navy (sec. 
        351)

    The committee recommends a provision that would direct the 
Navy to implement the remaining recommendations from the 
Government Accountability Office (GAO) report on the Shipyard 
Infrastructure Optimization Plan (SIOP), published May 10, 
2022, titled ``Naval Shipyards: Ongoing Challenges Could 
Jeopardize Navy's Ability to Improve Shipyards'' (GAO-22-
105993). The committee concurs with the Comptroller General of 
the United States that the Navy's SIOP would benefit from 
factoring in all costs when developing its second, more 
detailed cost estimates, using cost estimating best practices, 
and obtaining independent cost estimates prior to the start of 
its project prioritization effort.

Research and analysis on the capacity of private shipyards in the 
        United States and the effect of those shipyards on Naval fleet 
        readiness (sec. 352)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of the Navy to enter into an agreement with a 
nonprofit or federally funded research and development center 
(FFRDC) to conduct research on the capacity and capability of 
U.S. private shipyards in the repair, maintenance, and 
modernization of naval ships to ensure fleet readiness.
    The provision would also require the FFRDC to provide a 
report on the results of the research and analysis and require 
the Secretary to transmit the report to the Congress.

Limitation on funds for the Joint Military Information Support 
        Operations Web Operations Center (sec. 353)

    The committee recommends a provision that would prohibit 
the obligation or expenditure of more than 50 percent of the 
funds available for the Joint Military Information Support 
Operations Web Operations Center (JMWC) until the Secretary of 
Defense provides the committees with a plan for appropriately 
managing and overseeing various aspects of the JMWC's 
operations.
    The committee strongly supports efforts by the Department 
of Defense to conduct and improve operations in the information 
environment, including through web-based military information 
support operations. However, the committee is concerned that 
without clear policy guidance and procedures from the Secretary 
of Defense, the activities of the JMWC will not appropriately 
focus on clearly defined foreign target audiences, support 
valid military objectives, and balance the risks associated 
with the conduct of such operations. The committee expects 
continual improvement in all of these areas as the JMWC 
approaches full operational capability in the coming years.

Notification of increase in retention rates for Navy ship repair 
        contracts (sec. 354)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require a 
congressional notification prior to making a change to increase 
retention rates for Navy ship repair contracts.

Inapplicability of advance billing dollar limitation for relief efforts 
        following major disasters or emergencies (sec. 355)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 2208 of title 10, United States Code, to authorize an 
exemption for Defense working capital fund advanced billing to 
occur in the event of a declared national emergency.

Repeal of Comptroller General review on time limitations on duration of 
        public-private competitions (sec. 356)

    The committee recommends a provision that would repeal an 
outdated requirement for the Government Accountability Office 
to report on certain aspects of public-private competitions.

                          Subtitle E--Reports


Inclusion of information regarding joint medical estimates in readiness 
        reports (sec. 371)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 482(b) of title 10, United States Code, to include a 
summary of the joint medical estimate prepared by the Joint 
Staff Surgeon with a mitigation plan in the regular classified 
readiness reports to Congress.

                       Subtitle F--Other Matters


Implementation of recommendations relating to animal facility 
        sanitation and master plan for housing and care of horses (sec. 
        381)

    The committee recommends a provision that would direct the 
Secretary of the Army to implement the recommendations of the 
equine veterinarian contained in the memo, dated February 25, 
2022, titled ``Animal Facility Sanitation Inspection Findings 
for the Fort Myer Caisson Barns/Paddocks and the Fort Belvoir 
Caisson Pasture Facility.'' The provision would also require 
the Secretary of the Army to submit a master plan for the 
housing and care of all horses within the care of the 3rd U.S. 
Infantry.
    The committee notes that two horses with the 3rd U.S. 
Infantry at Fort Myer died within 96 hours of each other in 
February, both from having severe gravel and sand impaction in 
their digestive system. Subsequent tests performed on the 25 
horses at Fort Myer at the end of February found that 80 
percent of the horses had either high or moderate levels of 
sediment in their system. The committee understands that the 
recommended acreage for healthy horses is 1 to 2 acres per 
horse. However, the entire pasture facility at Belvoir only 
consists of 6 acres and there are 64 horses total in the herd 
being managed by the 3rd U.S. Infantry.
    The committee understands that 3 years-worth of monthly 
unsatisfactory condition reports of animal waste disposal, 
insufficient pasture or training areas, and moldy food for the 
horses occurred from February 2019 to February 2022. Not a 
single report provided was without at least one unsatisfactory 
assessment. One lot for horses on Fort Myer contains 18 to 20 
inches of mud and excrement on an inappropriately graded 
hillside making the lot extremely unsafe. The findings cited 
``additional injury, to include death, can be expected with 
continued use of the lot in its current condition'' and ``the 
run-off into adjacent public areas also creates a public health 
hazard.''
    Army leaders briefed the committee that they already have 
all the required funding to design and execute new, sanitary 
facilities for Army horses. There are clearly immediate fixes 
that need to be made. The Army is strongly encouraged to 
exercise its unspecified minor military construction authority 
to expedite the construction of new facilities. Given the grave 
and unsanitary conditions, decisive action is necessary as soon 
as possible.
    Furthermore, the committee requires the Secretary of the 
Army, not later than March 1, 2023, to provide a briefing to 
the committee on all sites where the Army currently houses and 
cares for military working horses. The briefing should include 
the size of the herd, size of the facility, whether monthly 
condition reports have been conducted at each site, and whether 
there have been any unsatisfactory condition reports over the 
past 2 years.

Inclusion of land under jurisdiction of Department of Defense subject 
        to long-term real estate agreement as community infrastructure 
        for purposes of Defense community infrastructure pilot program 
        (sec. 382)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 2391(e)(4)(A)(i) of title 10, United States Code, to 
add land under long-term real estate agreements to the list of 
criteria for possible construction projects under the Defense 
Community Infrastructure Pilot Program.

Restriction on procurement or purchasing by Department of Defense of 
        turnout gear for firefighters containing perfluoroalkyl 
        substances or polyfluoroalkyl substances (sec. 383)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require, 
with a waiver, the Department of Defense to phase out turnout 
gear for Federal firefighters containing per- and 
polyfluoroalkyl substances by the end of 2026.

Continued designation of Secretary of the Navy as executive agent for 
        Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training School 
        (sec. 384)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of the Navy to continue to perform the 
responsibilities of the Department of Defense executive agent 
for the Naval Small Craft Instruction and Technical Training 
School pursuant to section 352(b) of title 10, United States 
Code, and provide such support, as necessary, for the continued 
operation of the school through fiscal year 2023.

Prohibition on use of funds to discontinue the Marine Mammal System 
        program (sec. 385)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require a 
certification from the Secretary of the Navy prior to the 
termination of the Marine Mammal System (MMS).
    The committee is concerned with the budget request's 
proposal to defund and eliminate the MMS, which has been in 
existence since the 1970s and continues to provide port 
security at select Navy bases with Mark-6 systems and mine 
search capabilities by finding and marking mines with Mark-7 
systems.
    The committee notes it has been the Navy's plan to replace 
Mark-7 systems with unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) for 
several years. Though UUV technology is improving, the 
committee is concerned that UUVs remain significantly less 
capable than Mark-7 mammals, particularly in areas with narrow 
lanes, buried mines, and very cluttered bottom types. The 
committee is also concerned that UUVs have a lower rate of 
success and do not have buried detection capability.
    Accordingly, the committee believes the MMS should be 
retained, particularly since it serves as the Navy's only 
reliable shallow water buried mine hunting capability until 
UUVs are proven to have equivalent or better capability.
    Before the Navy is permitted to retire the MMS, the 
committee needs to understand the extent to which such action 
will result in capability gaps, particularly related to mine 
countermeasures; what, if any, plans the Navy has for replacing 
the full range of MMS capabilities; and when such capabilities 
will be operationally effective and suitable. The committee 
directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide a report to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than December 1, 
2022, that includes a comparison of the capability of the MMS 
and existing UUV technology, as well as a projection of 
potential UUV improvements and a schedule for fielding those 
improvements.

Limitation on replacement of non-tactical vehicle fleet of the 
        Department of Defense with electric vehicles, advanced-biofuel-
        powered-vehicles, or hydrogen-powered vehicles (sec. 386)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require a 
detailed report that examines the complete cost estimates, 
material vulnerabilities, and various other cost-benefits 
assessments before requiring, with certain waivers, that the 
Department of Defense's fleet of non-tactical vehicles be 
alternatively fueled vehicles by the end of 2030.

Limitation on use of charging stations for personal electric vehicles 
        (sec. 387)

    The committee recommends a provision that would prohibit 
the Secretary of Defense from permitting the charging of 
personal electric vehicles through charging stations provided 
by the Department of Defense unless the charging infrastructure 
allows for the receipt of payment for such charging.

Pilot programs for tactical vehicle safety data collection (sec. 388)

    The committee recommends a provision that would direct the 
Secretary of the Army and Secretary of the Navy to conduct 
pilot programs to evaluate the use of data recorders to 
monitor, assess, and improve the operation of military tactical 
vehicles for the purpose of reducing accidents and injuries.

                              Budget Items


Increase for Army Caisson platoon facility improvements

    The budget request included $58.1 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Army (OMA), of which $2.6 billion was for SAG 114 
Theater Level Assets and $4.6 billion was for SAG 132 
Facilities Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization.
    Elsewhere in this Act, the committee recommends a provision 
that would direct the Secretary of the Army to implement the 
recommendations of the equine veterinarian contained in the 
findings of the animal facility sanitation inspection of the 
Fort Myer Caisson barns/paddocks and the Fort Belvoir Caisson 
pasture facility. The committee also recommends additional 
funding for necessary facilities improvements and maintenance 
at both locations.
    Accordingly, the committee recommends the following 
increases: $17.9 million for equine facility stable and ground 
improvements in OMA SAG 132 and $5.0 million for equine 
maintenance in OMA SAG 114.

Facilities Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization

    The budget request included $4.6 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Army (OMA) for SAG 132 Facilities, Sustainment, 
Restoration, and Modernization; $1.0 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Army National Guard (OMARNG) for SAG 132 
Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization; $358.7 million in 
Operation and Maintenance, Army Reserve (OMAR) for SAG 132 
Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization; $3.5 billion in 
Operation and Maintenance, Navy (OMN), for SAG BSM1 
Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization; $44.7 million in 
Operation and Maintenance, Navy Reserve (OMNR) for SAG BSMR 
Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization; $1.2 billion in 
Operation and Maintenance, Marine Corps (OMMC), for SAG BSM1 
for Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization; $118.3 million 
in Operation and Maintenance, Marine Corps Reserve (OMMCR) for 
SAG BSM1 Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization; $4.0 
billion in Operation and Maintenance, Air Force (OMAF), for SAG 
011R for Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization; $437.0 
million in Operation and Maintenance, Air National Guard 
(OMANG) for SAG 11R for Sustainment, Restoration and 
Modernization; $133.7 million in Operation and Maintenance, Air 
Force Reserve (OMAFR) for SAG 11R Sustainment, Restoration and 
Modernization; and $235.2 million in Operation and Maintenance, 
Space Force (OMSF) for SAG 13R Sustainment, Restoration and 
Modernization.
    The committee understands that additional funds would 
alleviate current challenges in maintaining facilities to 
better support existing readiness levels, while increased 
sustainment funding would also prevent disproportionate 
restoration and modernization backlog growth.
    Accordingly, the committee recommends the following 
increases in facilities sustainment, restoration, and 
modernization: $538.9 million in OMA for SAG 132, $130.3 
million in OMARNG for SAG 132, $46.4 million in OMAR for SAG 
132, $435.0 million in OMN for SAG BSM1, $25.0 million in OMNR 
for SAG BSMR, $559.0 million in OMMC for SAG BSM1, $4.3 million 
in OMMCR for SAG BSM1, $550.4 million in OMAF for SAG 011R, 
$56.1 million in OMANG for SAG 11R, $17.5 million in OMAFR for 
SAG 11R, and $38.4 million in OMSF for SAG 13R.

United States Africa Command Combatant Command support

    The budget request included $385.7 million in Operation and 
Maintenance, Army (OMA) for SAG 141 U.S. Africa Command 
(AFRICOM).
    The committee notes a requirement found elsewhere in this 
report for the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
Commander of AFRICOM, to conduct a review of Department of 
Defense multilateral exercises in the AFRICOM area of 
responsibility and develop a plan to rotate the hosting 
arrangements and locations of such exercises. The committee 
understands that such a review may incur additional costs.
    Accordingly, the committee recommends an increase of $10.0 
million in OMA SAG 141 for AFRICOM to support efforts to assess 
alternative locations and host arrangements for multilateral 
exercises with African partners.

United States Africa Command force protection systems

    The budget request included $385.7 billion for Operations 
and Maintenance, Army (OMA) SAG 141 for U.S. Africa Command.
    The committee notes that U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) 
identified force protection as an unfunded priority.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $8.1 
million to OMA SAG 141 for AFRICOM force protection systems.

United States Africa Command intelligence surveillance and 
        reconnaissance

    The budget request included $58.1 billion for Operations 
and Maintenance, Army (OMA), of which $2.1 billion was for SAG 
411 Security Programs.
    The committee notes that U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) 
identified intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) 
as an unfunded priority.
    Therefore, the committee recommends increases of $214.8 
million in the OMA SAG 411 Security Programs for AFRICOM ISR 
and associated production, exploitation, and dissemination 
support and $4.6 million in Operations and Maintenance, 
Defense-wide, SAG 141 U.S. Africa Command.

United States Southern Command Enhanced Domain Awareness

    The budget request included included $58.1 billion in 
Operation and Maintenance, Army (OMA), of which $204.3 million 
was for SAG 143 U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM).
    The SOUTHCOM area of responsibility offers a unique 
opportunity to serve as an innovation testbed in a permissive 
environment. The Enhanced Domain Awareness (EDA) platform would 
enable SOUTHCOM to leverage artificial intelligence and machine 
learning to develop an enhanced understanding of the threat 
environment in Latin America and the Caribbean. The EDA 
capability would also help to mitigate the impact of chronic 
shortfalls in traditional intelligence, surveillance, and 
reconnaissance allocated to SOUTHCOM.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $4.1 
million in OMA SAG 143 for SOUTHCOM Enhanced Domain Awareness.

United States Southern Command intelligence, surveillance, and 
        reconnaissance

    The budget request included $58.1 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Army (OMA), of which $2.1 million was requested 
for SAG 411 Security Programs.
    The committee notes that U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) 
has sought to offset persistent shortfalls in its allocation of 
traditional intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance 
(ISR) through non-standard collection methods combined with 
innovative analytic techniques. The committee believes 
SOUTHCOM's use of advanced ISR tools offers relatively low-cost 
and low-risk investments that position the United States to 
better compete strategically.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $10.2 
million in OMA SAG 411 for high altitude balloon and an 
increase of $19.9 million in OMA SAG 411 for additional ISR 
systems.

Foreign currency fluctuations

    The budget request included $309.3 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance.
    The committee notes that the Government Accountability 
Office has repeatedly issued recommendations for the Department 
of Defense to analyze its Foreign Currency Fluctuations (FCF), 
Defense account balance given historical trends and managerial 
use of the account.
    Accordingly, the committee recommends an undistributed 
decrease of $785.2 million across the Operation and Maintenance 
accounts for FCF.

Increase for inflation effects

    The committee recommends an increase of $13.0 billion for 
inflation effects, of which $5.5 billion is distributed among 
the Operation and Maintenance accounts.

Unobligated balances

    The budget request included $309.3 billion across the 
Operation and Maintenance accounts.
    The committee notes that the Government Accountability 
Office has repeatedly issued recommendations for the Department 
of Defense to analyze its unobligated balances given historical 
trends and managerial use of the account.
    Accordingly, the committee recommends a decrease of $418.7 
million across the Operation and Maintenance accounts of the 
active and reserve components. The committee also recommends a 
decrease of $9.8 million in SAG 1PL1 Joint Chiefs of Staff, a 
decrease of $2.6 million in SAG 4GT6 Defense Contract Audit 
Agency, a decrease of $15.5 million in SAG 4GTO Defense 
Contract Management Agency, a decrease of $33.2 million in SAG 
4GT9 Defense Information Systems Agency, and a decrease of $6.5 
million in SAG 4GTB Defense Logistics Agency.

Continued ship operations

    The budget request included a Navy proposal to decommission 
24 battle force ships in fiscal year 2023, which represents 8 
percent of the Navy's 298 ship battle force. Of these 24 ships, 
only eight ships are at or beyond their expected service life 
(ESL), and 16 ships would be retired prior to ESL.
    Consistent with provisions elsewhere in this Act that would 
establish a floor of not fewer than 31 operational amphibious 
warfare ships and would prevent early retirement of other 
retiring battle force ships prior to ESL, the committee 
recommends increases in Operation and Maintenance, Navy (OMN) 
to restore funding for 12 ships:
          (1) OMN (1B1B)--$153.0 million;
          (2) OMN (1B4B)--$115.8 million; and
          (3) OMN (1B5B)--$446.4 million.

Marine mammal system continuation

    The budget request included $66.2 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Navy (OMN), of which $2.3 billion was requested 
for SAG 1C6C Combat Support Forces, with no funding requested 
to support the Marine Mammal System (MMS).
    The budget request included a Navy proposal to retire the 
MMS in fiscal year 2023. Although unmanned undersea vessels 
(UUVs) show promise, fielded UUV programs do not yet match the 
capability and reliability of marine mammals to perform the 
full range of MMS missions, including location and marking of 
buried mines.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $6.6 
million in OMN SAG 1C6C Combat Support Forces to continue the 
MMS program in fiscal year 2023.

Increase for Energy Resilience Readiness Exercises

    The budget request included $477.5 million in Operation and 
Maintenance, Navy (OMN) for SAG 1CCY and $2.7 billion in 
Operation and Maintenance, Marine Corps (OMMC) for SAG BSS1, of 
which no funds were for Energy Resilience Readiness Exercises 
(ERREs).
    The committee continues to support the significant success 
of ``black start'' ERREs performed by the military services and 
overseen by the Department of Defense (DOD). The committee 
believes that low-cost ERREs, which each cost roughly $500,000, 
provide a real-world opportunity to ``pull the plug'' on 
military installations and truly test how each would respond in 
the event of a cyberattack or natural disaster. The committee 
believes that this is a small but warranted investment for DOD 
installation readiness.
    Accordingly, the committee recommends an increase of $2.0 
million in OMN SAG 1CCY to conduct three ERREs and an increase 
of $1.0 million in OMMC SAG BSS1 to conduct two ERREs.

More Situational Awareness for Industrial Control Systems

    The budget request included $66.2 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Navy (OMN), of which $477.5 million was requested 
for SAG 1CCY Cyberspace Activities.
    The committee recommends an increase of $26.0 million in 
OMN SAG 1CCY Cyberspace Activities to enable the Navy to 
transition the More Situational Awareness for Industrial 
Control Systems (MOSAICS) Joint Capability Technology 
Demonstration for cybersecurity of industrial control systems.
    The committee notes that MOSAICS orchestration technology 
was first developed in a cooperative initiative of the National 
Security Agency, industry, and a University Affiliated Research 
Center. The committee believes this technology is important for 
Department of Defense to secure its mission essential 
operational technology.

Operation and Maintenance realignment of funds

    The budget request included $58.3 billion for Operation and 
Maintenance, Air Force (OMAF), of which $2.7 billion was for 
SAG 011C Combat Enhancement Forces and $1.3 billion was for SAG 
042A Administration.
    The committee has been informed by the Air Force that 
funding for these programs should be in different SAGs than 
what was in the budget request.
    Therefore, the committee recommends the following: (1) A 
decrease of $60.0 million in SAG 011C and an increase of $60.0 
million in SAG 011A Primary Combat Forces; and (2) A decrease 
of $33.7 million in SAG 042A and an increase of $33.7 million 
in SAG 041A Logistics Operations.

United States Northern Command Information Dominance Enabling 
        Capability

    The budget request included $58.3 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Air Force (OMAF), of which $197.2 million was for 
SAG 015C U.S. Northern Command/North American Aerospace Defense 
Command.
    The Commander, U.S. Northern Command, has prioritized the 
importance of information dominance through the aggregation, 
processing, display, and dissemination of data from across all 
domains. The committee supports these efforts to enable 
information sharing and real-time collaboration utilizing 
artificial intelligence and machine learning capabilities.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $29.8 
million in OMAF SAG 015C for information dominance enabling 
capability.

Hunt forward operations

    The budget request included $3.0 billion for Operation and 
Maintenance, Air Force (OMAF), of which $463.8 million was 
requested for SAG 15E U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM).
    The committee strongly supports the contributions that hunt 
forward operations have made to the persistent engagement cyber 
strategy of the Department of Defense.
    Accordingly, the committee recommends an increase of $15.3 
million in OMAF SAG 15E specifically to support hunt forward 
operations.

Office of Security Cooperation-Iraq reduction

    The budget request included $331.2 million in Operation and 
Maintenance, Air Force (OMAF) for SAG 015F, U.S. Central 
Command (CENTCOM), of which $30.0 million was for the Office of 
Security Cooperation-Iraq (OSC-I).
    The committee expects the OSC-I to further continue its 
transition to a normalized security cooperation office, 
including by transitioning funding for its operations to the 
Foreign Military Financing Administrative Fund and the Foreign 
Military Sales Trust Fund Administrative Surcharge Account.
    Therefore, the committee recommends a decrease of $10.0 
million in OMAF SAG 015F for the OSC-I. The committee notes 
that there is a corresponding legislative provision elsewhere 
in this Act.

Cyber Operations Force Development and Support Program realignment of 
        funds

    The budget request included $58.3 billion for Operation and 
Maintenance, Air Force (OMAF), of which $436.8 million was for 
SAG 015E US CYBERCOM.
    The committee has been informed by the Air Force that 
funding for the Cyber Operations Force Development and Support 
program should be in a different SAG than what was in the 
budget request.
    Therefore, the committee recommends a decrease of $5.0 
million in OMAF SAG 015E and an increase of $5.0 million in 
OMAF SAG 012S Joint Cyber Mission Force Programs.

Cheyenne Mountain Complex

    The budget request included $4.0 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Space Force (OMSF), of which $235.3 million was 
requested for SAG 13R Facilities Sustainment, Restoration, and 
Modernization.
    The Commander, U.S. Northern Command, requested funding on 
the unfunded priorities list to support refurbishment of the 
Cheyenne Mountain Complex.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $43.8 
million in OMSF for SAG 13R for the infrastructure 
recapitalization of the Cheyenne Mountain Complex to include: 
(1) Reconditioning of two 1960s vintage diesel generators; (2) 
Repairing blast valve components; (3) Repairing heating, 
ventilation, and air conditioning systems; (4) replacing the 
uninterrupted power supply battery system; and (5) providing 
interior contingency billeting and storage facilities. The 
committee also recommends an increase of $5.5 million in OMSF 
for SAG 13Z Space Operations-BOS.

Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response Action Plan Implementation

    The budget request did not include funding in Operation & 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW) for implementation of the 
Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response Action Plan by the Office 
of the Secretary of Defense.
    The committee strongly supports efforts by the Department 
of Defense to help prevent, respond to, and learn from 
incidents of civilian harm resulting from U.S. military 
operations.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an additional $10.0 
million in OMDW SAG 4GTN Office of the Secretary of Defense, 
for implementation of the Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response 
Action Plan by the Office of the Secretary of Defense, 
including the establishment of an office to serve as the focal 
point within the Department for all matters relating to 
civilian harm.
    Additionally, the committee recommends an additional $10.0 
million in OMDW SAG 1PL1 Joint Chiefs of Staff, for the Joint 
Chiefs of Staff to provide dedicated resources to the 
geographic combatant commands for implementation of the 
Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response Action Plan.

Combatant Craft Medium refurbishment

    The budget request included $1.2 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW) for SAG 1PL7 U.S. Special 
Operations Command (SOCOM) Maintenance.
    The committee notes that the Commander, SOCOM, has 
identified the refurbishment of a Combatant Craft Medium (CCM) 
to restore it to full operational capability as an unfunded 
requirement.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $4.3 
million in OMDW SAG 1PL7 Special Operations Command Maintenance 
for CCM refurbishment.

Special operations support to irregular warfare

    The budget request included $3.3 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW) SAG 1PLR Special Operations 
Command (SOCOM) Theater Forces, including approximately $10.0 
million for activities conducted pursuant to the authority 
contained in section 1202 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91).
    The committee notes that section 1202 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018, as amended, 
authorizes the obligation and expenditure of up to $15.0 
million per year in support of activities under the authority 
and understands the Department of Defense has identified 
emergent requirements that were not captured in the budget 
request.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $5.0 
million in OMDW SAG 1PLR for activities conducted pursuant to 
the authority contained in section 1202 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018.

STARBASE

    The budget request included $48.4 billion for Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW), of which $139.7 million was 
for SAG 4GT3 Civil Military Programs. The budget request did 
not, however, include any funding under SAG 4GT3 for the 
Department of Defense Science and Technology Academies 
Reinforcing Basic Aviation and Space Exploration (STARBASE) 
program.
    The committee notes that the STARBASE program is an 
effective program that improves the knowledge and skills of 
students in kindergarten through 12th grade in science, 
technology, engineering, and mathematics.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $15.0 
million for SAG 4GT3 Civil Military Programs for the STARBASE 
program.

Increase for beneficial ownership assessment program

    The budget request included $983.1 million in Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW) for SAG 4GTE Defense 
Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA).
    The committee notes that, according to the April 13, 2022, 
report as required by the committee report accompanying S. 2792 
(S. Rept. 117-39), the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2022, as reported by the Senate Armed Services 
Committee, DCSA has estimated that implementation of section 
847 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2020 (Public Law 116-92), related to assessment and mitigation 
of foreign ownership, control and influence (FOCI), would 
result in a 2,100 percent increase in workload above DCSA's 
existing FOCI workload under the National Industrial Security 
Program (NISP).
    Accordingly, the committee recommends an increase of $18.4 
million in OMDW SAG 4GTE for DCSA's beneficial ownership 
assessment program, consisting of: $3.6 million for 
counterintelligence (CI) support to NISP; $10.6 million for 
industrial security support to section 847 implementation; and 
$4.2 million for CI support to section 847 implementation.

Civilian harm mitigation institutional capacity building

    The budget request included $48.4 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW), of which $2.4 billion was for 
SAG 4GTD Defense Security Cooperation Agency.
    The committee believes that further efforts to build 
institutional capacity on issues of civilian harm mitigation 
are needed. In particular, the committee believes that 
development by the Defense Institute of International Legal 
Studies of robust assessment frameworks, risk analytic tools, 
and new training and advising materials would improve the 
ability to mitigate the risk of civilian harm.
    Accordingly, the committee recommends an increase of $1.0 
million in OMDW SAG 4GTD for the Defense Institute of 
International Legal Studies for civilian harm mitigation 
efforts, to include the development of new training and 
advising materials.

Defense Security Cooperation Agency International Security Cooperation 
        Program

    The budget request included $2.4 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW) SAG 4GTD Defense Security 
Cooperation Agency (DSCA). Of this amount, $1.4 billion was for 
the International Security Cooperation Programs (ISCP) account.
    The committee notes the critical importance of security 
cooperation activities to the Department of Defense's efforts 
to compete with near-peer rivals China and Russia, consistent 
with the National Defense Strategy (NDS). The committee is 
concerned that proposed reductions in security cooperation 
funding for U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), U.S. Africa 
Command (AFRICOM), and U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) 
significantly below fiscal year 2022 enacted levels will 
adversely impact these commands' ability to fulfill the NDS 
mission requirements for strategic competition.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $46.0 
million to OMDW for SAG 4GTD DSCA, for security cooperation 
activities and programs within the ISCP account and intends for 
this additional funding to be allocated as follows: $20.0 
million for SOUTHCOM; $20.0 million for AFRICOM; and $6.0 
million for NORTHCOM.

Defense Security Cooperation Agency Regional Defense Combating 
        Terrorism and Irregular Warfare Fellowship Program

    The budget request included $2.4 billion for Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW) for SAG 4GTD Defense Security 
Cooperation Agency (DSCA), of which $28.3 million is for the 
Regional Defense Combating Terrorism and Irregular Warfare 
Fellowship Program (RDFP).
    As noted elsewhere in this report, the committee strongly 
supports the Department of Defense instituting a Center for 
Security Studies in Irregular Warfare, consistent with section 
1299L of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116 283), 
and urges the Secretary of Defense to act expeditiously to 
exercise the authority under that section. A provision 
elsewhere in this Act provides additional authorities under the 
RDFP, as amended, to take initial steps to stand up such a 
center.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $5.0 
million in OMDW SAG 4GTD for the RDFP for administrative and 
other costs associated with instituting the Center for Security 
Studies in Irregular Warfare.

Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative

    The budget request included $2.4 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW) SAG 4GTD Defense Security 
Cooperation Agency (DSCA), of which $300.0 million was 
requested for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative.
    The committee recommends a transfer of $300.0 million from 
SAG 4GTD to a separate line for the Ukraine Security Assistance 
Initiative, and recommends an increase of $500.0 million.

Impact aid

    The budget request included $48.4 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW), of which $3.3 billion was for 
SAG 4GTJ, Department of Defense Education Activity. The amount 
authorized to be appropriated for OMDW includes the following 
changes from the budget request. The provisions underlying 
these changes in funding levels are discussed in greater detail 
in title V of this committee report.

Anomalous Health Incidents

    The budget request included $2.2 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW) for SAG 4GTN Office of the 
Secretary of Defense, of which $96.2 million is for the Office 
of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy who leads the 
Department of Defense's Cross-Functional Team (CFT) for 
Anomalous Health Incidents (AHI) required by Section 910 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public 
Law 117-81).
    The committee strongly supports the mission of the CFT for 
AHI and, therefore, recommends an increase of $10.0 million in 
OMDW SAG 4GTN to accelerate efforts by the CFT for AHI to 
address national security challenges posed by AHIs and ensure 
that individuals affected by AHIs receive timely and 
comprehensive health care and treatment for symptoms consistent 
with an AHI.

Bien Hoa Dioxin Cleanup

    The budget request included $2.2 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW), for SAG 4GTN Office of the 
Secretary of Defense, of which no funds were requested for Bien 
Hoa dioxin cleanup in Vietnam.
    The committee recommends an increase of $15.0 million in 
OMDW for SAG 4GTN for Bien Hoa dioxin cleanup. The committee 
notes that elsewhere in this Act, the committee recommends a 
provision that would extend the authority of the Secretary of 
Defense to transfer up to $15.0 million to the Secretary of 
State for Bien Hoa dioxin cleanup in Vietnam through fiscal 
year 2023.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Nation-wide human health 
        assessment

    The budget request included $2.2 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW) for SAG 4GTN Office of the 
Secretary of Defense, of which no funds were proposed for the 
ongoing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 
Nation-wide human health assessment related to contaminated 
sources of drinking water from per- and poly-fluoroalkyl 
substances. The committee continues to support the ongoing 
human health assessment.
    Accordingly, the committee recommends an increase of $20.0 
million in OMDW SAG 4GTN for the ongoing CDC assessment.

Defense Environmental International Cooperation Program

    The budget request included $2.2 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW) for SAG 4GTN Office of the 
Secretary of Defense. Of that funding, $3.0 million was 
requested for the Defense Environmental International 
Cooperation (DEIC) program for engagement with international 
partners on defense-related environmental and operational 
energy engagement activities.
    The committee believes the DEIC program is an important 
tool for engaging partners and building bilateral and 
multilateral relationships in support of the theater campaign 
plans of the geographic combatant commanders. The committee 
believes there are opportunities to expand outreach activities 
under this program, particularly in the Indo-Pacific region.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $7.0 
million in OMDW SAG 4GTN for expansion of the DEIC program in 
the Indo-Pacific region.

Demonstration of component content management systems

    The budget request included $2.2 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW), for SAG 4GTN Office of the 
Secretary of Defense, of which no funds were requested for the 
demonstration of component content management systems (CCMS).
    The committee recommends an increase of $2.0 million in 
OMDW SAG 4GTN for the demonstration of CCMS. The committee 
notes that elsewhere in this Act, the committee recommends a 
provision that would require the Department of Defense Chief 
Information Office to carry out a demonstration of CCMS in 
fiscal year 2023.

Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration

    The budget request included $2.2 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW), for SAG 4GTN Office of the 
Secretary of Defense, of which $169.7 million was for the 
Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration (REPI) 
program.
    The committee has long recognized and appreciates the 
success that the REPI program has achieved in addressing 
encroachment and in maintaining and improving military 
installation resilience. However, significant additional 
funding is required to take full advantage of the ability of 
the REPI program to protect key installations, ranges, and 
airspace.
    Accordingly, the committee recommends an increase of $5.3 
million in OMDW for SAG 4GTN for the REPI program and strongly 
encourages robust funding in future budget requests. 
Additionally, the military services should consider augmenting 
staffing levels in order to fully leverage the REPI program and 
enhance military readiness and military installation 
resilience.
    In executing the increased funding, the committee directs 
the Secretary of Defense to consider projects that improve 
resiliency at test ranges and installations supporting military 
modernization efforts, to include projects that protect 
groundwater supplies and reduce development potential in the 
surrounding areas.

Secretary of Defense Strategic Competition Initiative

    The budget request included $2.2 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW) for SAG 4GTN Office of the 
Secretary of Defense.
    The committee notes the establishment, by section 1332 of 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 
(Public Law 117-81), of the Secretary of Defense Strategic 
Competition Initiative. The committee believes this initiative 
would benefit from the authorization of appropriated funds 
specifically for programs and activities under this initiative.
    Accordingly, the committee recommends an increase in OMDW 
of $20.0 million for SAG 4GTN for the Secretary of Defense 
Strategic Competition Initiative.

Special Education Inclusion Coordinators pilot program

    The budget request included $2.2 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW) for SAG 4GTN Office of the 
Secretary of Defense.
    The committee is aware that there are challenges recruiting 
and retaining high quality childcare providers in Department of 
Defense Child Development Centers (CDCs), and these challenges 
are even greater when the CDC staffs lack expertise in special 
education coordination.
    Accordingly, the committee recommends an increase of $20.0 
million in OMDW SAG 4GTN for the activities outlined for a 
pilot program elsewhere in this Act.

United States Telecommunications Training Institute support

    The budget request included $2.2 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW), for SAG 4GTN Office of the 
Secretary of Defense.
    The committee recommends an increase of $1.0 million in 
OMDW for SAG 4GTN to help provide technical training and 
information seminars to advance military readiness as part of 
the United States Telecommunications Training Institute 
objectives for supporting the training needs of information 
technology and regulatory professionals who design, regulate, 
and oversee the communications infrastructures of the 
developing world.

Increase for fiscal year 2022 legislative commissions

    The budget request included no funding to support the 
operations of the five legislative commissions established in 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 
(Public Law 117-81).
    The committee believes these commissions are conducting 
important work and should continue to be supported.
    The committee recommends an increase of $17.7 million in 
Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW) Undistributed 
line for the commissions established in the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022.

U.S. Special Operations Command operation and maintenance

    The budget request included $9.7 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW), for U.S. Special Operations 
Command (SOCOM).
    The committee is concerned with continued contractor growth 
within the SOCOM enterprise and unjustified program increases, 
particularly in the maintenance and theater forces sub-activity 
groups. The committee believes additional resources should be 
better prioritized to address capability gaps, particularly 
those that ensure our special operations forces maintain 
superiority relative to long-term strategic competitors.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an undistributed 
decrease of $45.4 million in OMDW for SOCOM. The committee 
notes that these funds have been applied to unfunded 
requirements identified by the SOCOM Commander and other 
emergent requirements elsewhere in this Act.

Overseas Humanitarian, Disaster, and Civic Aid

    The budget request included $110.0 million in SAG 4GTD, 
Overseas Humanitarian, Disaster, and Civic Aid (OHDACA).
    The committee notes that the OHDACA program provides low 
cost but highly effective activities that help partners build 
and enhance their disaster response capabilities, provide life-
saving humanitarian assistance and mine action programs, and 
enable the foreign disaster relief initiative.
    The committee recommends an increase of $25.0 million in 
SAG 4GTD OHDACA for additional OHDACA programming.

Operation and maintenance unfunded requirements

    In accordance with section 222a of title 10, United States 
Code, the service chiefs and the combatant commanders each 
submitted a list of unfunded requirements. The committee 
recommends an additional increase of $3.7 billion for Operation 
and Maintenance items on these unfunded requirements lists.

                       Items of Special Interest


157th Air Operations Group Facility, Air National Guard

    The committee recognizes that the 157th Air Operations 
Group (AOG), Missouri Air National Guard, Jefferson Barracks 
Air National Guard Base, responds to operational requirements 
within the Headquarters Pacific Air Forces (HQ PACAF) area of 
responsibility. The committee recognizes further that HQ PACAF 
may require significant support from the 157th AOG to ensure 
continuity of command and control of U.S. air forces in the 
Indo-Pacific region during a wartime contingency. The 157th AOG 
requires a single facility from which to provide such support, 
including by enabling efficient cooperation of all personnel 
within the Intelligence, Combat Operations, and Communications 
Squadrons and support staff. However, 157th AOG personnel 
currently function out of three separate facilities, which 
detracts from mission efficiencies and is inconsistent with AOG 
functionality. The committee recognizes that without 
consolidation into a single building, 157th AOG personnel will 
continue to train in a manner inconsistent with their wartime 
mission execution and the stove-piping of mission habits driven 
by separated facilities will continue to detract from combat 
readiness.
    Accordingly, the committee encourages the Air Force to 
continue its current construction schedule of fiscal year 2024 
to ensure the 157th AOG can adequately support HQ PACAF.

Adversary air training

    All of the services need robust and representative 
adversary air threats to conduct effective training. As the 
service component lead for this program, the Air Force has 
invested in contracted adversary air services since 2015 in 
order to improve training without sacrificing the readiness 
level of U.S. aircraft or pilots. In 2019, the Air Force 
formalized this practice by awarding an indefinite delivery, 
indefinite quantity contract, with a maximum value of $6.4 
billion. To date, however, the Air Force has not obligated more 
than $117.0 million per year for adversary air services.
    The Air Force continues to stress the need for adversary 
air training, but it has not had a consistent and transparent 
strategy that outlines industry and organic requirements as 
well as funding over the future years defense program. Despite 
continuing pilot and aircraft maintenance personnel shortages, 
the Air Force plans to shift completely to organic sources for 
adversary air by fiscal year 2030, according to a Government 
Accountability Office (GAO) report published December 21, 2021, 
titled, ``Military Air Support: DOD Has Increased Its Use of 
Contracts to Meet Training Requirements (GAO-22-104475).''
    The committee is concerned that the Air Force's 
inconsistent strategy and underfunding will impact the overall 
readiness of the force and will have a negative impact on 
industry partners providing this service. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a 
report to the congressional defense committees, not later than 
March 1, 2023, outlining the strategy and plan for the next 5 
years on the adversary air program, including costs and 
benefits of the Air Force's approach. The report shall identify 
the planned composition of organic versus commercially-provided 
adversary air assets and flying hours in the plan.

Ambient temperature thermionic power generation

    The committee remains interested in commercially developed 
technology to produce electrical power at ambient temperatures 
through thermionic processes. The committee notes that the 
Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) has sustained the 
development of this technology, and that the Office of the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment (USD 
A&S) may make investments in scaling up this technology through 
the Defense Production Act (Public Law 81-774) if performance 
milestones are met. The near-term objective is to achieve 
reliable, stable, and long-life power generation at an energy 
density and form factor on par with lithium-ion batteries. The 
committee encourages the Director of SCO and the USD A&S to 
aggressively exploit this technology if critical performance 
and maturity thresholds are met.

Army energetics production facilities modernization

    The committee recognizes the vital importance of Army 
Organic Industrial Base (OIB) ammunition facilities, including 
the Holston Army Ammunition Plant (HSAAP) and the Radford Army 
Ammunition Plant (RFAAP) as the primary producers of energetics 
for the Department of Defense. HSAAP is the sole manufacturer 
of Research Development Explosive (RDX) and High-Melt Explosive 
(HMX), the only North American manufacturer of the insensitive 
Munition Explosives IMX-101 and IMX-104, and the sole-source 
producer of triaminotrinitrobenzene. RFAAP is the primary 
source for the production of nitrocellulose (NC) solvent 
propellants, the sole source for NC solvent-less propellants, 
and produces nitroglycerin and sulfuric and nitric acid, which 
are critical propellant intermediates.
    The committee recognizes that the Army has initiated a 
multi-decade Army Ammunition Plant (AAP) Modernization Plan but 
is concerned that the pace of implementation is slower than 
desired to address critical production processes, capacity, and 
environmental challenges associated with operations at HSAAP 
and RFAAP. The committee notes that although the AAP 
modernization plan includes $1.5 billion at HSAAP and $3.9 
billion at RFAAP, the plan identifies the requirement for an 
additional $2.8 billion in currently unfunded critical 
construction projects. The committee believes the Department 
should prioritize funding these critically unique OIB 
facilities and accelerate the plan to modernize them. 
Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army, 
not later than February 24, 2023, to provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees on the plan to address the 
full modernization requirement at HSAAP and RFAAP, including 
opportunities to accelerate planned projects and to address the 
currently unfunded critical construction projects.

Assessment of and engagement with commercial fusion energy industry

    The committee is aware of developing commercial fusion 
energy technology that could present a significant 
technological advancement. The committee believes that there is 
a credible chance that one or more companies will demonstrate a 
viable path to commercialization of compact fusion reactor 
technology perhaps before the end of the decade. This research 
is well-funded by private investors, as well as driven by 
technological advances and agile and iterative development 
models.
    The committee notes that successful commercial development 
of compact fusion reactors could profoundly impact the world 
economy, national security, and efforts to control climate 
change. The committee believes that the Department of Defense 
(DOD) could benefit from this technology.
    Potential applications for the DOD include resilient clean 
energy for domestic and overseas bases, support facilities, and 
data centers; environmentally safe propulsion systems for 
ships; desalinization; and emergency support for civil 
authorities.
    The committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Research and Engineering (USD(R&E)) to engage with the 
commercial fusion energy industry to assess the technological 
readiness level of clean fusion energy generation and the 
application of such technology to military missions. The 
committee directs the USD(R&E) to provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees, not later April 1, 2023, on 
the results of the assessment, along with plans and 
recommendations for future DOD engagement with this industry 
sector and for any research and development efforts in this 
area.

Autonomous robotic targets for small arms range modernization

    The committee is aware of and supports continued expansion 
of autonomous robotic targets (ARTs) for small arms live fire 
training on the part of Marine Corps Training and Education 
Command. ARTs provide a significant and immediate increase in 
lethality for individual Marines, as well as enhanced small 
unit readiness by allowing for far more realistic training 
against an intelligent robotic adversary. The committee also 
notes a 2018 Marine Corps Warfighting Laboratory end user 
evaluation of over 5,000 shooters that concluded ARTs were a 
``vast improvement to training modality over existing systems 
and was value added in all training events/scenarios.'' The 
committee is also encouraged by the significant range 
modernization cost-savings that have been demonstrated at Camp 
Lejeune's Golf 36 and Golf 29 ranges, and believe that 
significant additional savings can be achieved by foregoing 
fixed target infrastructure in new range designs and instead 
utilizing ARTs to create dynamic, unpredictable training ranges 
with few modifications.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Commander, Marine 
Corps Installation Command, in consultation with the Commander, 
U.S. Marine Corps Training and Education Command, to provide a 
briefing to the committee, not later than March 1, 2023, that 
examines the potential savings and cost avoidance on current 
and future live training ranges identified in Appendix A of 
MCRP 8-10B.1 through the use of ARTs. The briefing shall 
delineate by live fire range potential cost-savings and 
environmental regulatory requirements that can be avoided by 
ARTs over planned physical range modifications to meet current 
and future training requirements. Further, the briefing shall 
examine ongoing range operation and maintenance cost expenses 
that can be avoided by removal of fixed and rail-based 
targeting systems.

Bison meat procurement

    The committee is aware of the nutritional value of red meat 
protein, including bison meat, and the Department of Defense's 
objective to provide high-quality, cost-effective meals and 
ingredients as part of its food program. Therefore, the 
committee encourages the Department to consider domestic 
procurement of bison meat as part of a comprehensive red-meat 
protein approach for use in dining facilities, field 
provisioning, provisioning while underway, and in commissaries 
as part of a health and nutrition focused military food 
program.

Briefing on bidirectional charging

    Bidirectional charging of alternatively-fueled vehicles 
(AFVs) is the ability for the grid to pull energy out of a 
vehicle's battery for use in other places on the grid, as well 
as provide energy to the battery to increase the charge. With 
the Department of Defense's plans to increase the number of 
AFVs on its installations, these vehicles could act as 
emergency energy sources if the proper upfront investments are 
made in vehicles, charging equipment, and microgrids that can 
use this feature.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary 
of Defense for Energy, Installations, and Environment to study 
the benefits of bidirectional charging to improve installation 
resilience and provide a briefing to the committee on its 
findings and recommendations, not later than March 1, 2023. The 
briefing shall include any security and resilience benefits 
weighed alongside estimated costs of constructing or 
contracting for the use of sufficient infrastructure to handle 
bidirectional charging that is in excess of the costs 
associated with building out AFV infrastructure already planned 
or proposed.

Briefing on net-zero emissions and energy resiliency requirements for 
        United States Indo-Pacific Command

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
classified briefing on the planning assumptions and 
requirements to meet net-zero emissions by 2050, as required by 
the Executive Order (EO) dated December 8, 2021, titled 
``Catalyzing Clean Energy Industries and Jobs Through Federal 
Sustainability'' (EO 14057), while retaining power generation 
capability at strategic locations within the Indo-Pacific 
region.
    The briefing shall assess three locations where the 
Department of Defense is promoting archipelagic defense of the 
United States and partner nations to promote sustainability and 
security, against the following criteria:
          (1) Power requirements, to include both average power 
        needs and daily load profiles, including petroleum, oil 
        and lubricant (POL) consumption rates;
          (2) Forecasted fuel consumption rates for the first 
        60 days that use the facility;
          (3) Primary and secondary electrical POL generating 
        capacity for the facility;
          (4) A description of the logistics supporting (3);
          (5) Assessment of the impact to (4) within 
        Operational Plans referenced in (2);
          (6) Current renewable power generating capability on 
        the facility; and
          (7) Details of investment plans, to include 
        anticipated available non-fossil energy sources (wind, 
        solar, small modular nuclear reactors) and advanced 
        energy management to include advanced microgrids and 
        energy storage systems, to meet the requirements set 
        forth in (1) and (2) and net-zero emissions by 2050.

C-130J virtual reality engine maintenance training

    The committee recognizes the importance of a fleet-wide 
distribution of virtual reality engine maintenance training 
assets for the Air Force C-130J fleet to ensure maintainer 
proficiency and facilitate fleet-wide transition to the C-130J 
model. Given that this training was initially fielded with 
squadrons in 2020 but was never completed fleet-wide, the 
committee is concerned a lack of training availability will 
hinder unit transitions from older C-130H models. Accordingly, 
the committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide 
a briefing to the committee, not later than March 1, 2023, that 
outlines the Air Force's plan to achieve virtual reality engine 
maintenance training parity across units by ensuring that 
training assets are distributed to the remainder of the C-130J 
fleet.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Nation-wide human health 
        assessment

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense 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 progress of and use of Department of Defense funds for the 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Agency for 
Toxic Substances and Disease Registry's assessment on the 
health implications of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances 
contamination in drinking water, ground water and other sources 
of water.

Cold spray

    The committee recognizes that repairs using cold spray 
techniques, such as High Pressure Advanced Rapid Deposition 
(HPARD) technology, for maintenance, repair, and overhaul is a 
proven technology for repairs performed by depots and deployed 
forces as evidenced by the military services' use of this 
technology for repairs to submarines, other vessels, aircraft, 
and ground vehicles. The committee notes these repairs have 
resulted in significant cost savings as compared to procuring 
new parts or sourcing obsolescent parts.
    Accordingly, the committee encourages procurement of HPARD 
technology systems for maintenance and repairs of the types of 
systems cited above and further exploration by the Department 
of Defense of applications for this cost saving technology in 
order to enable greater service life extension as well as 
leverage operations and maintenance cost savings for 
investments in research, development, test, evaluation, and 
procurement. Additionally, the committee encourages the 
Department to institutionalize annual funding for further 
development and procurement of HPARD technology in order to 
assure stabilized and predictable funding levels. Finally, the 
committee believes the Department should examine Department-
wide integration of cold spray processes that have been 
developed by the military services.

Community consultation in habitat mitigation planning

    The committee is aware of ongoing habitat considerations 
related to the flat tailed horned lizard, a species endemic to 
the Sonoran desert. The committee understands there is a need 
for additional habitat for this protected species, while also 
ensuring mission critical activities at Marine Corps Air 
Station Yuma are not disrupted. The committee encourages 
ongoing efforts by the Marine Corps to respect local county and 
city land-use growth plans, while also engaging in meaningful 
consultation with local jurisdictions prior to a final decision 
regarding flat tailed horned lizard habitat mitigation. 
Ultimately, effective collaboration between the Marine Corps, 
the state of Arizona, and local governments will be essential 
to these efforts.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Commandant of the 
Marine Corps to provide a briefing to the committee not later 
than March 1, 2023, on plans to address current habitat demands 
for the flat tailed horned lizard, in consultation with the 
community, while preserving the mission of Marine Corps Air 
Station Yuma. The briefing should also address the feasibility 
of DOD working with any external agency familiar with the flat 
tailed horned lizard's habitat displacement.

Comptroller General review of naval force generation

    The committee notes that nearly a decade ago the Navy 
implemented a revised operational schedule, the Optimized Fleet 
Response Plan (OFRP), to address several problems that 
developed as a result of the Navy executing heavy operational 
demands. These included increased ship deployment lengths, 
reduced or deferred maintenance, declining ship conditions 
across the fleet, and longer maintenance periods. The Navy's 
ability to generate sufficient, ready naval forces, currently 
through OFRP, is premised on adherence to more sustainable 
deployment, training, and maintenance schedules.
    However, the Navy has faced persistent challenges in 
implementing OFRP since its inception. For example, the Navy 
has experienced ongoing difficulties with ship maintenance 
timeliness that have reduced ship availability for training and 
operations. In addition, the surface fleet continues to defer 
required maintenance, leading to a maintenance backlog of $1.7 
billion in 2021 and contributing to the Navy's proposal to 
decommission ships before the end of their useful life. 
Moreover, the Navy faces challenges in implementing training 
for the high-end fight, limiting deployment lengths, and 
maintaining ship readiness after deployment to provide for 
surge capacity.
    Given these and other challenges, the committee remains 
concerned about the Navy's approach to force generation for its 
ships and submarines. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Comptroller General of the United States to assess the 
following:
          (1) The extent to which the Navy's force generation 
        assumptions and approaches for maintenance is realistic 
        and consistent with ship class maintenance plans, 
        shipyard capacity, actual maintenance execution and 
        other relevant factors;
          (2) The extent to which the Navy's current force 
        generation approach incorporates sufficient training 
        time for units to obtain required certifications and 
        proficiencies to counter advanced adversaries;
          (3) A comparison of the Navy's current force 
        generation approach to those employed by the U.S. Coast 
        Guard and allies and what best practices, if any, can 
        be leveraged to enhance Navy force generation;
          (4) The extent to which the Navy has considered 
        options to revise its force generation model to enhance 
        its efficiency and effectiveness at generating ready 
        naval forces; and
          (5) Any other related matters the Comptroller General 
        considers appropriate.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the committee not later than April 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.

Department of Defense Outside the Continental United States Fuel 
        Contracting and Sourcing

    The committee acknowledges that the Defense Logistics 
Agency (DLA) purchases the majority of its bulk fuel contracts 
for deliveries to defense fuel support points (DFSPs) outside 
the continental United States (OCONUS) from foreign refineries 
to minimize transportation costs passed on to the services and 
Defense Agencies. The committee is concerned that this 
peacetime business environment and practice could face a 
spectrum of challenges in a threat environment in the event of 
a military conflict and is concerned that a number of U.S. 
tankers and crews available to support critical Department of 
Defense requirements may be limited.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Director of the DLA 
to provide a briefing to the committee, not later than March 1, 
2023, on its OCONUS fuel resourcing strategy. The briefing 
shall include: (1) An analysis of the feasibility of 
transporting tanker-delivered bulk fuel to DFSPs on vessels of 
the United States that participate in the Voluntary Tanker 
Agreement Program carried out by the Maritime Administration 
pursuant to the authority contained in section 708 of the 
Defense Production Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. 4558); (2) An 
estimate of the additional cost for the DLA to reform purchase 
and delivery contracts to reflect 25 percent, 50 percent, 75 
percent, and 100 percent of tanker-delivered bulk fuel from 
refineries in the United States; (3) A market analysis of the 
supply challenges from tradeoffs in sourcing fuel contracts 
from refineries in the United States; and (4) An assessment of 
the vulnerabilities assumed in sourcing fuel contracts from 
refineries in foreign countries.

Depot maintenance for family of beyond line of sight terminals

    The Air Force and Space Force are developing a wide range 
of fixed, ground, and air mobile terminals to receive waveforms 
from the Advanced Extremely High Frequency satellite and its 
follow-on system, the Evolved Strategic SATCOM satellite 
system. Aside from the manufacturer of the terminal, there 
appears to be no clear assessment of the number, types, or 
coordinated long-term maintenance of terminals, which all 
receive and process the waveform from the satellite's payload.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Air Force and Space 
Force to provide a briefing to the congressional defense 
committees, not later than March 31, 2023, on a plan to assess 
across both services: (1) The expected number and types of 
terminals that are to be fielded over the next 10 years; (2) 
Their expected cost and a long-term coordinated plan to ensure 
there is a centralized depot for maintenance; and (3) The 
requirements for working with the manufacturer to ensure a 
timely supply of future limited lifetime components within the 
existing supply base.

East Coast Joint All Domain Training Center feasibility report

    The committee supports efforts by the Department of Defense 
to modernize training facilities for both special operations 
and conventional forces. The challenges identified in the 
National Defense Strategy require a more ready, joint, and 
technically proficient force. While the Department of Defense 
maintains access to significant training areas in the western 
half of the United States, unit demand for those areas are high 
and travel can be cost-prohibitive for East Coast-based units.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the appropriate military and civilian 
officials within the Department, to provide the committee with 
a report, not later than December 1, 2022, on the feasibility 
and advisability of establishing a Joint All Domain Training 
Center in the eastern half of the United States. In conducting 
the required analysis, the Secretary shall consider the 
requirement for such a training center to support East Coast-
based units and opportunities to acquire training areas at no 
or de minimis cost to the Department, which may include areas 
with distressed economies centered on the mineral extraction 
industry.

Enterprise management system for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances 
        and emerging contaminants

    The committee understands that the Department of Defense is 
continuing to invest growing amounts into the investigation and 
cleanup of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at 
numerous military installations. The committee is aware that 
the Department does not currently use an enterprise management 
software system that is designed to track all financial and 
scientific data from its PFAS investigation and remediation 
efforts. The committee is aware of existing, commercial 
software solutions specifically designed for environmental 
remediation that could provide the Department with an advanced 
enterprise management system to better manage PFAS 
investigation and remediation. The committee encourages the 
Department to identify, evaluate, and use commercial-off-the-
shelf software solutions to better manage its PFAS remediation 
efforts and notify the committee of its findings and progress 
not later than March 1, 2023.

Flame-Resistant Army Combat Uniforms

    The committee has long supported the operational benefits 
provided by flame-resistant uniforms for all soldiers. 
Historically, the Flame-Resistant Army Combat Uniform (FRACU) 
was three to four times more expensive than the Army Combat 
Uniform (ACU), and the Army developed a policy to issue the 
uniforms to deploying soldiers through the Rapid Fielding 
Initiative. In recent years, the committee understands from 
industry that innovation has yielded new technologies that can 
reduce cost without sacrificing protection. For these reasons, 
the committee encourages the Army to consider making the FRACU 
an item of issue in the initial clothing bag.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Army to provide a briefing to the committee, not later than 
March 1, 2023, on the associated costs and feasibility study of 
replacing the ACU with the new FRACU. The briefing shall 
include: (1) A potential plan to establish a project stock to 
be funded over the future years defense program; (2) An outline 
for a potential health study on the use of flame resistant 
materials and emerging technology to determine the possibility 
of a cost-effective flame resistant solution for daily use by 
soldiers; (3) A review of existing criteria for determining in 
what circumstances combat uniforms of the Armed Forces and 
National Guard are required to be flame-resistant; (4) 
Potential costs and benefits of FRACUs on operational safety 
and force protection; and (5) The minimum level of annual 
procurement by the Defense Logistics Agency necessary to 
sustain the flame resistant textile industrial base to be 
prepared to respond to emerging needs of the Armed Forces and 
National Guard for current and future conflicts.

Graphite Production Requirements

    The committee highlighted in the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81) its 
concerns and focus on the Department of Defense's (DOD) ability 
to acquire strategic and critical materials from sources within 
the United States prior to purchasing from key allies. While it 
continues to believe in the importance of establishing a secure 
supply chain of graphite, the committee understands that to 
meet national security requirements the United States must have 
the ability to source raw graphite from allied countries for 
domestic processing and production of battery grade graphite.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a report to the congressional defense committees, 
not later than March 1, 2023, on its estimate of domestic 
graphite production quantities needed to meet current and 
future DOD lithium batteries requirements. The report shall 
include, at a minimum, the following: (1) A review of current 
weapon systems operations and sustainment battery grade 
graphite requirements; (2) An assessment of future weapon 
system battery grade graphite requirements; (3) Current 
domestic graphite processing capability and potential 
shortfalls to meet DOD national security requirements; (4) 
Sources and availability of domestic processing capacity for 
battery-grade graphite; and (5) A roadmap recommending how the 
United States can meet DOD battery grade graphite processing 
requirements domestically.

Implementation Strategy for Naval Sustainment System-Supply

    The committee continues to support advancements in supply 
chain visibility. Improved visibility is critical to mapping 
supply chains, identifying vulnerabilities, and developing 
alternative and more secure sources of strategic goods and 
services. Increased visibility also promotes readiness and 
optimizes decision making by improving end-to-end logistics 
process and data integration. Insights achieved through 
increased data integrity and expanded data analytics will drive 
necessary weapon system readiness improvements.
    The committee commends the United States Naval Supply 
Systems Command for establishing a new end-to-end approach for 
managing naval supply chains and supporting mission 
performance. The 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. The committee seeks to develop a better understanding of 
the NSS Supply initiative as a readiness force multiplier and 
directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than February 1, 
2023, on the strategy to implement NSS Supply. This strategy 
shall include the following elements: (1) An explanation of the 
milestones and outcomes to be achieved under NSS Supply; (2) An 
explanation on how the potential gains brought by NSS Supply 
will be institutionalized to improve the end-to-end supply 
chain business process; and (3) An explanation of the resources 
needed to support NSS Supply and a discussion of the potential 
to accelerate outcomes and the resources to do so.

Infantry brigade combat team force design

    The committee commends the Army's use of multiple 
acquisition reform initiatives that led to the production 
contract award as part of the Infantry Squad Vehicle (ISV) 
competitive acquisition strategy, as well as notes the benefits 
of maximizing commercial-off-the-shelf capabilities to address 
operational requirements more readily, both in terms of cost 
and long-term sustainment to improve tactical mobility across 
Infantry Brigade Combat Teams (IBCT). The committee believes 
the Army should take necessary actions to more effectively 
resource optimal rates of ISV production. The committee also 
understands the Army is currently reviewing IBCT force 
structure and design to include several courses of action that 
would increase the motorization and tactical mobility 
capability of IBCTs. The committee supports these efforts and 
notes the ISV could be reconfigured through minimal engineering 
change proposals to better accommodate various mission 
equipment payload packages, such as counter-unmanned aerial 
systems and electronic warfare to improve IBCT capability in 
multi-domain operational environments. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of the Army to provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than January 15, 
2023, in order to update the committee on the outcomes of the 
IBCT force structure review and study.

Joint Transportation Management System

    The committee acknowledges and supports the efforts of U.S. 
Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) to consolidate the multiple 
Department of Defense transportation management systems to 
establish an interoperable, enterprise-grade solution that 
meets financial audit requirements. However, the committee is 
concerned that the strategy to proceed with these efforts lacks 
clarity despite the completion of a prototype system under the 
transportation management system other transaction authority 
(OTA). The committee is also concerned that appropriate funding 
is not being planned for over the future years defense program. 
Consequently, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing, not later than January 1, 2023, to the 
congressional defense committees on TRANSCOM's strategy and 
timeline for and any identified barriers to full implementation 
of the Joint Transportation Management System. The briefing 
shall include funding assumptions and outline where shortfalls, 
if any, may exist.

Live virtual constructive training

    The committee continues to monitor U.S. Air Force (USAF) 
pilot manning shortfalls and remains concerned with the limited 
progress made in addressing the issue, especially in increasing 
the number of highly skilled fighter pilots. The committee 
notes that live, virtual, constructive (LVC) training systems 
will play an integral role in addressing the shortage and 
restoring readiness. However, 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 strongly encourages 
the further development of AAR systems and directs that all 
USAF and U.S. Navy LVC training systems include a capability to 
display realistic, all-aspect synthetic targets within visual 
range and beyond visual range. The committee also directs the 
Air Force to expand its ongoing AAR project to include 
integration on multi-ship, networked formations.
    Finally, the committee supports Department of Defense (DOD) 
efforts to field a joint, interoperable, and secure LVC-capable 
training system architecture and infrastructure. To better 
understand overall DOD progress on these efforts, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than March 15, 
2023, on: (1) Overall LVC training requirements; (2) How the 
Department will establish and maintain joint interoperable 
standards for LVC systems; (3) How the Department has 
established or will establish independent assessment criteria 
for potential LVC solutions that will meet training 
requirements for preparing for high end combat; (4) The DOD's 
current plans for fielding joint, interoperable LVC training 
environments; (5) An assessment of the extent to which each 
system being evaluated or fielded can provide LVC training 
environments; and (6) Budget estimates for each system.

Load reduction enhancements for dismounted operations

    The committee has been very supportive of the Army's 
efforts to reduce soldier load and understands the negative 
impact weight can have on soldier performance. In addition to 
standard loads, many missions require soldiers to move several 
hundred pounds of equipment unrelated to their personal kit. 
Even with the distribution of material across a squad-sized 
element, each individual soldier may carry up to an additional 
hundred pounds of equipment. Numerous studies have shown the 
impact of soldier load on small unit effectiveness, warfighter 
survivability, and human performance on the battlefield. While 
the Army has highly capable vehicles to carry equipment for 
dismounted operations, they are often too large to support 
individual troop movements in confined spaces.
    The committee understands the U.S. Army Special Operations 
Command and U.S. Army Maneuver Center of Excellence have been 
successfully testing small ground vehicle systems that are 
maneuverable, lightweight, electric, and capable of operating 
across multiple formations and within confined spaces that are 
providing soldiers with significant weight reduction during 
dismounted operations. The committee strongly supports such 
efforts and looks forward to seeing progress made across the 
military services.

Manufacturing technologies and processes briefing 

    The committee believes that a vibrant defense industrial 
base, particularly as it relates to manufacturing, is essential 
to cultivating and protecting intellectual property, 
contributing to economic prosperity, and securing supply 
chains. The committee notes that advances in manufacturing 
techniques and processes have enabled some defense 
manufacturing capabilities to become more efficient with fewer 
negative externalities. The committee believes tracking 
advances in manufacturing and the associated benefits would 
provide valuable additional insights to Department of Defense 
leadership.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing 
to the committee, not later than May 1, 2023, assessing the 
feasibility and advisability of including a taxonomy for 
categorizing recent and projected advances in manufacturing 
technology in the Department, which shall include energy 
efficiency as a category, as well as a process creating a 
baseline against which the Department can conduct regular 
analytical assessments to understand and measure progress in 
the area of manufacturing technology.

Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System basing criteria for C-130J

    The committee notes that Air National Guard units flying 
the Modular Airborne Fire Fighting System (MAFFS) mission in 
the western United States are flying legacy C-130Hs in some of 
the hottest temperatures, highest elevations, and in the most 
challenging mountainous environments of any C-130 unit. 
Upgrading their C-130H fleet with C-130Js would have a 
substantial impact on readiness and firefighting capabilities, 
given every year the western U.S. has devastating wildfires and 
longer distances to travel than any other region in the 
continental United States. As such, the committee is concerned 
that the Air Force is not considering MAFFS as part of its 
basing criteria for C-130J aircraft.
    The committee was encouraged during a June 17, 2021, Senate 
Armed Services Committee hearing on the posture of the Air 
Force when the then-Acting Air Force Secretary and Air Force 
Chief of Staff committed that the Air Force would consider 
using MAFFS as part of its basing criteria moving forward. 
Specifically, in reference to making MAFFS part of the basing 
criteria for future rounds of C-130J recapitalization, the 
Chief of Staff stated, ``You have my commitment to have that 
considered as one of the criteria as we look at forward basing 
decisions.'' The acting Secretary further noted that the point 
that MAFFS should be part of the criteria was ``well taken'' 
and committed that the Air Force would work ``to see if there 
are ways we can give that some consideration going forward.'' 
The committee encourages the Air Force to follow through on 
this commitment by beginning the process of including the MAFFS 
mission as part of their basing criteria for the C-130J, and 
encourages the Air Force to make basing decisions based on 
location and the missions served in particular regions of the 
country.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the committee, not later than 
March 1, 2023, on how the Air Force defines the requirements 
for MAFFS capable planes and what criteria the Air Force would 
use in deciding on a base for additional aircraft equipped with 
MAFFS.

Multilateral exercises in the United States Africa Command area of 
        responsibility

    The committee notes the importance of Africa to the 
national security interests of the United States and supports 
efforts by the Department of Defense to strengthen 
relationships and enhance partner capabilities on the continent 
to address shared threats. The committee notes the testimony of 
the Commander, U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM), on March 15, 
2022, that ``Russia and China both seek to convert soft and 
hard power investments into political influence, strategic 
access, and military advantage,'' and further testimony that 
``China's economic and diplomatic engagements allow it to 
buttress autocracies and change international norms in a 
patient effort to claim their second continent.''
    The committee believes that an important component of the 
Department of Defense's efforts to implement the National 
Defense Strategy and compete effectively with China, Russia, 
and other potential adversaries is by strengthening 
relationships and capabilities through AFRICOM's joint 
exercises with African partners, to include corps-level 
exercises. The committee further believes that diversifying the 
hosts and locations of these exercises may help the Department 
expand partnerships in Africa, increase the capabilities of 
African partners, and further U.S. access and influence on the 
continent.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in consultation with the Commander, AFRICOM, to conduct a 
review of Department of Defense multilateral exercises in the 
AFRICOM area of responsibility and develop a plan to rotate the 
hosting arrangements and locations of such exercises. The 
review shall also identify the resourcing necessary for the 
effective implementation of the plan and any other 
considerations the Secretary deems appropriate. The committee 
directs the Secretary to submit the findings of the review and 
associated plan to the committee not later than December 1, 
2022.

National Guard contribution to nuclear deterrence

    The committee recognizes the important role National Guard 
units and installations play in supporting nuclear deterrence 
operations, as well as associated nuclear command, control, and 
communications and continuity of Government missions. This 
vital enabling support is provided by limited personnel 
operating out of select facilities for which equivalent 
substitutes are not available, and the committee is concerned 
that potential operational degradation could negatively impact 
current war plans.
    Accordingly, the committee expects the Chief of the 
National Guard Bureau to strongly consider operational impacts 
as it prioritizes and allocates resources for sustainment, 
restoration, and maintenance.

Natural gas and propane 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 and propane generators may 
provide a viable alternative to diesel generators. The 
committee notes that natural gas and propane generators could 
be used in combination with renewable sources.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the committee, not later than March 
31, 2023, on installations where natural gas and propane 
generators could be fielded.

Navy converged enterprise resource planning system

    The committee strongly supports Navy efforts to modernize 
its financial management and logistics systems using commercial 
enterprise resource planning (ERP) solutions and notes positive 
progress to meet this goal. The committee is also aware that 
the full migration of Navy commands from legacy systems is 
still in progress and a subsequent modernization to improve 
integration with cloud computing environments and leverage 
capabilities such as advanced data analytics and visualization 
is planned. Improving integration across the Navy Systems 
Commands is a critical enabler to better and more efficient 
stewardship of resources. To this end, the committee believes 
the Navy should avoid short notice, mid-year cuts that 
sacrifice forward progress in ERP deployment and integration, 
and instead begin developing a roadmap that supports 
modernization objectives while maximizing existing investments 
made to date on the program.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in groundwater briefing

    The committee notes that communities in drought stricken 
regions face unique challenges when per- and polyfluoroalkyl 
substances (PFAS) are persistent in groundwater aquifers that 
serve as a primary or secondary source of drinking water. The 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives, not later than December 1, 2022, 
on the status of remedial investigations related to the release 
of PFAS in the proximity of groundwater aquifers that serve as 
a primary or secondary source of drinking water in the United 
States, which are at or adjacent to military installations, 
facilities of the National Guard, or formerly used Defense 
sites, including communities within an aquifer designated as a 
sole source aquifer by the Administrator of the Environmental 
Protection Agency under section 1424(e) of the Safe Drinking 
Water Act (42 U.S.C. 300h-3(e)).

Personnel in the Office of Assistant Secretary of Defense for 
        Sustainment in Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health

    The Environment, Safety, and Occupational Health (ESOH) 
office is a critical component within the Department of Defense 
working on challenges ranging from per- and polyfluoroalkyl 
substances (PFAS) to the Military Housing Privatization 
Initiative. Therefore, it is important that the ESOH office 
have sufficient personnel in order to carry out its mandate. 
Accordingly, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment 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 
staffing and funding requirements for the ESOH office.

Preservation of the Force and Families

    The committee strongly supports all aspects of Special 
Operation Command's (SOCOM) Preservation of the Force and 
Families (POTFF) Program and notes the critical role the 
program plays in enhancing the readiness of special operations 
forces (SOF) by building resiliency and optimizing performance. 
However, the committee notes that the December 16, 2021, report 
published by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), titled 
``Special Operations Forces: Additional Actions Needed to 
Effectively Manage the Preservation of the Force and Family 
Program'' (GAO-22-104486), found that: (1) SOCOM guidance lacks 
clear definitions of key terms and responsibilities for key 
personnel for POTFF; (2) SOCOM provides minimal guidance on 
achieving an integrated and holistic system of care for POTFF; 
and (3) SOCOM lacks a clear vision for how it will fully 
leverage data for POTFF.
    The committee believes that addressing these issues is 
important for ensuring SOF receive effective support under the 
POTFF program. The committee notes that the GAO report included 
several recommendations for addressing these issues, including 
through the modification of existing guidance or the 
establishment of new guidance governing the POTFF program. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Special Operations and Low-Intensity Conflict and 
the Commander, SOCOM, to provide a briefing to the committee, 
not later than December 1, 2022, on ongoing or planned efforts 
to appropriately implement the recommendations contained in the 
GAO report.

Replacement of fluorinated aqueous film forming foams

    Section 322 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2020 (Public law 116-92) prohibits the use of 
fluorinated aqueous film forming foams (AFFF) on any military 
installation after October 1, 2024. Additionally, section 331 
of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public law 116-283) 
directed the Secretary of Defense to survey relevant 
technologies to phase out the use of fluorinated AFFF.
    The committee is aware of the risk assessment report 
published by the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for 
Installations, Environment, and Energy (SAF/IE) on July 7, 
2021, titled ``Assessment of Risks with Respect to Options for 
Replacing Fluorinated Aqueous Film Forming Foam (AFFF) Fire 
Suppression Systems in Department of Defense Facilities.'' The 
committee is also aware of the subsequent memorandum published 
by the SAF/IE on November 16, 2021, titled ``Sundown Policy for 
Foam Fire Suppression Systems.'' The Department of the Air 
Force (DAF) indicated that Tier 1 facilities, where loss of 
aircraft or 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 that is the primary 
option; a Low Expansion Foam System or High Expansion Foam 
System both of which will contain an approved Fluorine Free 
Foam. 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 DAF for taking the lead on the 
risk assessment and the publishing of the subsequent 
replacement guidance; however, the committee notes the 
burdensome methodology by which facilities are to be designated 
as Tier 1 and Tier 2. Based on the tremendous investment that 
the Congress has made in supplying the Department of Defense 
and services with necessary warfighting aviation assets, it 
would appear that the vast majority of facilities housing 
front-line, combat aviation assets should be designated as Tier 
1. The committee directs that the Secretary of the Air Force 
provide a list of Tier 1 and Tier 2 facilities not later than 
March 1, 2023, as well as a report to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on the 
replacement schedule for phase out of fluorinated AFFF systems.

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 that can result, are most often caused by heavy rains 
over a short period, and can happen anywhere. It is known that 
a significant portion 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. 
Additionally, around the world, emergency services personnel 
are training in creeks and rivers, which carry bacteria and can 
reach dangerous temperatures in the winter.
    The committee believes that a safe, realistic training 
environment is essential to protect flood rescue teams, like 
guardsmen. The committee understands that organizations such as 
Fayetteville Technical Community College in North Carolina, 
will maintain an indoor swift water rescue training facility at 
its Regional Fire and Rescue Training Center. The committee 
understands the facility will include an 88,000-gallon tank 
that will allow emergency personnel to train year-round for a 
wide variety of dangerous swift-water and floodwater rescue 
scenarios. The committee believes that such facilities can 
provide better additional training for real-life scenarios in a 
synthetic training environment.
    Accordingly, the committee encourages the National Guard to 
utilize such facilities to ensure readiness for missions both 
at home and abroad.

Task Force 59 and operationalizing artificial intelligence at sea

    The committee recognizes and commends Task Force 59 (TF-
59), the Navy's first operational task force 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 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, 
including the Secretary of the Navy, the Chief of Naval 
Operations, and the Commander, U.S. Central Command.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Chief of Naval 
Operations to provide a briefing to the congressional defense 
committees, not later than December 1, 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. The 
briefing shall also detail the potential benefits of 
establishing additional task forces with structures, missions, 
and practices similar to those of TF-59 at other regionally 
aligned fleets.

Training in extreme cold weather environment

    The committee recognizes the need for the Joint Force to 
conduct Arctic-tailored training and exercises to ensure the 
appropriate knowledge, skills, and abilities to successfully 
operate in the Arctic. The committee notes that in order to 
support the Department of Defense's Arctic Strategy there is 
need for enhanced training in extreme cold weather 
environments.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the appropriate military and civilian 
officials within the Department, to provide a briefing to the 
committee, not later than December 31, 2022, on existing joint 
all domain warfighting centers located in the United States 
that are able to support all-domain training exercises in an 
extreme cold weather environment.

U.S. Marine Corps unmanned aerial systems

    The committee commends Marine Corps efforts to increase 
organic unmanned aerial systems (UAS) capabilities within the 
service. The committee encourages the Marine Corps to explore 
manpower resources available in the Marine Corps Reserve forces 
as a possible location to build additional force structure 
within the Marine Corps for this capability.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide 
a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
and the House of Representatives, not later than January 31, 
2023, assessing the feasibility of establishing a Reserve UAS 
squadron. The briefing shall include:
          (1) Considerations for the potential requirement of a 
        Marine Corps Reserve UAS squadron;
          (2) Potential force structure models for a reserve 
        squadron;
          (3) Recruitment and retention plans for reserve 
        component UAS pilots and maintainers; and
          (4) Optimal geographic locations for the basing of a 
        Marine Corps Reserve UAS unit.

United States Africa Command combined maritime operations

    The committee notes that U.S. Africa Command (AFRICOM) 
conducts activities under the African Maritime Law Enforcement 
Partnership (AMLEP) to build maritime security capacity of 
African security partners and improve management of their 
maritime environment through combined maritime law enforcement 
operations. The committee understands that Operation Junction 
Rain is the operational phase of AMLEP, and uses the United 
States Coast Guard (USCG) to enhance the maritime security and 
law enforcement capabilities of African partner nations, 
including through USCG Law Enforcement Detachments. The 
committee further understands that in recent years there has 
been a lack of consensus within the Department of Defense (DOD) 
about the adequacy of existing authorities to support 
activities under Operation Junction Rain. The committee 
believes that building partnership capacity and security force 
assistance activities like AMLEP and Operation Junction Rain in 
the AFRICOM area of responsibility are important to supporting 
DOD objectives. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary 
of Defense, not later than December 1, 2022, to provide a 
briefing to the committee on the adequacy of existing 
authorities to support the AMLEP program and Operation Junction 
Rain and to identify any gaps in such authorities.

United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay

    The committee views United States Naval Station, Guantanamo 
Bay, as a strategically important platform for the Department 
of Defense (DOD) to maintain access and influence and provide 
forward-deployed capabilities in the western hemisphere. In 
order to effectively implement the National Defense Strategy 
and compete with the pacing threat of China, the importance of 
United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, will increase 
given the significant expansion of Chinese presence and 
ambitions in the western hemisphere. The committee notes that 
the Commander, United States Southern Command (SOUTHCOM), 
testified on March 24, 2022, that, ``the People's Republic of 
China, our long-term strategic competitor, continues its 
relentless march to expand economic, diplomatic, technological, 
informational, and military influence in Latin America and the 
Caribbean, and challenges U.S. influence in all these 
domains.'' In light of this reality, and given the requirements 
outlined in the National Defense Strategy for greater focus on 
competition with China, the committee believes there are 
significant opportunities to enhance United States military 
posture and capabilities at United States Naval Station, 
Guantanamo Bay.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Commander, SOUTHCOM, and the 
Secretaries of the military services, to conduct an assessment 
of the strategic importance of United States Naval Station, 
Guantanamo Bay, to fulfill DOD and broader national security 
requirements; to conduct an assessment of current DOD and 
related posture at United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay; 
and to identify opportunities to enhance DOD posture, 
infrastructure, and capabilities at the Naval Station. The 
assessment shall, at a minimum, identify opportunities to 
enhance capabilities and posture in the following areas:
          (1) Maritime;
          (2) Air;
          (3) Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance;
          (4) Ship repair and maintenance;
          (5) Security cooperation;
          (6) Servicemember support, to include medical 
        services, and morale, welfare, and recreation services; 
        and
          (7) Any other matters deemed relevant by the 
        Secretary.
    The Secretary shall provide an interim briefing to update 
the committee not later than October 15, 2022, on the initial 
findings of the assessment. The Secretary shall submit a final 
report to the committee not later than December 31, 2022, on 
the findings of the required assessment.

              TITLE IV--MILITARY PERSONNEL AUTHORIZATIONS

                       Subtitle A--Active Forces

End strengths for active forces (sec. 401)
    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
Active-Duty end strengths for fiscal year 2023, as shown below:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                     FY 2023                  Change from

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The committee recognizes the current challenging recruiting environment. The committee also acknowledges that
  the military departments have to balance their needs for recruiting new personnel against the high standards
  they have set for service in the U.S. Armed Forces. With this in mind, the committee has taken a measured
  approach to the end strength authorization for active forces, ensuring that the services can both maintain
  high recruiting standards and meet the personnel requirements demanded by the National Military Strategy. This
  provision would authorize end strength levels within 3 percent of last year's end strength for Army, Navy, Air
  Force, Marines, and Space Force.

End strength level matters (sec. 402)
    The committee recommends a provision that would repeal 
section 691 of title 10, United States Code, which establishes 
minimum end strength numbers for each of the military services. 
This provision would also amend section 115 of title 10, United 
States Code, to authorize the Secretary of Defense and the 
secretaries of the military departments to vary Active-Duty end 
strengths set forth in this Act by up to 3 percent and 2 
percent, respectively.
Additional authority to vary Space Force end strength (sec. 403)
    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the Secretary of the Air Force to vary U.S. Space Force end 
strength by a greater degree than is otherwise permitted for 
the Armed Forces in order to give the Secretary additional 
discretion to build and establish the U.S. Space Force.

                       Subtitle B--Reserve Forces

End strengths for Selected Reserve (sec. 411)
    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
end strengths for Selected Reserve personnel for fiscal year 
2023, as shown below:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                     FY 2023                  Change from

End strengths for reserves on active duty in support of the Reserves 
        (sec. 412)
    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
full-time support end strengths for fiscal year 2023, as shown 
below:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                     FY 2023                  Change from

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The committee once again notes its concern that the Air Force has gone too far in requesting increases in
  Reserves on Active Duty in support of the Reserves at the expense of military technician positions. The Air
  Force has yet to provide a sufficient justification to the committee for these conversions. The committee
  remains concerned about the impact that such conversions would have on the readiness of the Air Force.

End strengths for military technicians (dual status) (sec. 413)
    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
military technician (dual status) end strengths for fiscal year 
2023, as shown below:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                                     FY 2023                  Change from

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The provision would also establish limits on the number of temporary technicians authorized to be employed
  within the end strengths set forth by this section to not more than 25 percent of the total authorized
  strength for each component.
The committee once again notes its concern that the Air Force has gone too far in requesting increases in
  Reserves on Active Duty in support of the Reserves at the expense of military technician positions. The Air
  Force has yet to provide a sufficient justification to the committee for these conversions. The committee
  remains concerned about the impact that such conversions would have on the readiness of the Air Force.
Finally, the provision would also prohibit under any circumstances the coercion of a military technician (dual
  status) by a State into accepting an offer of realignment or conversion to any other military status,
  including as a member of the Active, Guard, and Reserve program of a reserve component. The provision would
  further specify that if a technician declines to participate in such a realignment or conversion, no further
  action may be taken against the individual or the individual's position.

Maximum number of reserve personnel authorized to be on active duty for 
        operational support (sec. 414)
    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
end strengths for reserve personnel on Active Duty for 
operational support for fiscal year 2023, as shown below:

              Subtitle C--Authorization of Appropriations

Military personnel (sec. 421)
    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the appropriations for military personnel activities at the

                              Budget Items

                   TITLE V--MILITARY PERSONNEL POLICY

                  Subtitle A--Officer Personnel Policy

Consideration of adverse information (sec. 501)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 628a of title 10, United States Code, to clarify that 
Secretaries of the military departments have the discretion to 
furnish adverse information to the next regularly scheduled 
promotion board applicable to an officer to whom that section 
applies, in lieu of furnishing such information to a special 
selection review board under section 628a.
Extension of time limitation for grade retention while awaiting 
        retirement (sec. 502)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 601(b)(5) of title 10, United States Code, to authorize 
general and flag officers in the grade of general or admiral, 
or lieutenant general or vice admiral, when redeploying after 
serving at least 1 year in a combat zone or overseas 
contingency operation, to retain their temporary grade for not 
more than 90 days while awaiting retirement.
Realignment in Navy distribution of flag officers serving in the grades 
        of O-8 and O-9 (sec. 503)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 525(a)(3) of title 10, United States Code, to increase 
the number of Navy flag officers authorized to serve in the 
grade above the grade of rear admiral from 33 to 34, and to 
reduce the number of officers authorized to serve in the grade 
of rear admiral from 50 to 49.
Updating warrant officer selection and promotion authority (sec. 504)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
sections 573, 575, 576, 577, and 578 of title 10, United States 
Code, to authorize Secretaries of the military departments to 
exclude a warrant officer from consideration by a promotion 
board upon the request of the officer and to authorize 
promotion selection boards to recommend that warrant officers 
of particular merit be placed higher on the promotion list.
Authorized strengths for Space Force officers on active duty in grades 
        of major, lieutenant colonel, and colonel (sec. 505)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend the 
table in section 523 of title 10, United States Code, to 
specify the total number of commissioned officers serving on 
Active Duty in the Space Force in the grades of major, 
lieutenant colonel, and colonel, respectively.

Repeal of requirement for Inspector General of the Department of 
        Defense to conduct certain reviews (sec. 506)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 847(b) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181) to repeal the requirement 
for the Department of Defense Inspector General (DODIG) to 
conduct periodic reviews to ensure that written opinions 
regarding the applicability of post-employment restrictions to 
activities that an official or former official may undertake on 
behalf of a contractor are provided and retained.
    In conducting the required reviews, the DODIG has 
discovered that, while a DODIG review can assess whether 
written opinions are provided and retained, such a review 
cannot identify or quantify covered officials or former 
officials who failed to request a written post-Government 
employment ethics opinion. If a covered official does not 
request the opinion, there is no way for the DODIG to know what 
post-Government activities the official or former official is 
or will be engaged in. Accordingly, there is no way to know 
whether they are complying with post-Government employment 
requirements and nothing for the DODIG to review or assess. 
Furthermore, the most recent DOD Office of the IG report on 
section 847, issued on December 20, 2019, found that section 
847-covered officials and DOD ethics counselors generally 
complied with the section 847 requirements. The report 
contained no recommendations.

Modification of reports on Air Force personnel performing duties of a 
        nuclear and missile operations officer (13N) (sec. 507)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require, as 
part of the annual report on the 13N career field of the Air 
Force directed by section 506 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81), a 
staffing plan for managing personnel within the 13N career 
field as the Air Force transitions operations to the Sentinel 
intercontinental ballistic missile weapon system.
    The committee notes that at present there is not a clear 
plan for how the Air Force will manage the 13N career field 
through the transition from the Minuteman III weapon system to 
the Sentinel, and consequently, the impacts of such a 
transition on existing and future 13N personnel are unknown.

                Subtitle B--Reserve Component Management


Authority to waive requirement that performance of Active Guard and 
        Reserve duty at the request of a Governor may not interfere 
        with certain duties (sec. 511)

    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the Secretaries of the Army and Air Force to allow up to 100 
members of the National Guard to perform Active Guard and 
Reserve duty for purposes of performing training of the regular 
components of the Armed Forces as their primary duty through 
October 1, 2024. This provision would also require reporting 
from the Secretaries concerned.

Selected Reserve and Ready Reserve order to active duty to respond to a 
        significant cyber incident (sec. 512)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 12304 of title 10, United States Code, to authorize the 
Secretary of Defense to order units and members of the Selected 
Reserve or Individual Ready Reserve, without the consent of the 
members, to Active Duty to respond to a significant cyber 
incident.

Backdating of effective date of rank for Reserve officers in the 
        National Guard due to undue delays in Federal recognition (sec. 
        513)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 14308 of title 10, United States Code, to require the 
Secretaries of the Army and Air Force to adjust the effective 
date of Federal recognition for officers of the National Guard 
whose approved application for Federal recognition is delayed 
by more than 100 days from the date the National Guard Bureau 
determines the officer's Federal recognition application to be 
completely submitted for further review.

Independent study on Federal recognition process (sec. 514)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to seek to enter into a contract with a 
federally funded research and development center to conduct a 
study on Federal recognition of National Guard commissioned 
officer and warrant officer promotions. This provision would 
also require the Secretary to submit a report to the Committees 
on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on the results of such study, and to continue 
making annual progress reports on Federal recognition of State 
National Guard promotions until the average processing time for 
such a personnel action is reduced to 90 days or fewer.

Continued National Guard support for FireGuard program (sec. 515)

    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the Secretary of Defense to continue to support the FireGuard 
program with National Guard personnel to collect and assess 
multi-source remote sensing information for interagency 
partnerships in the detection and monitoring of wildfires 
across the United States.

Inclusion of United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps among youth and 
        charitable organizations authorized to receive assistance from 
        the National Guard (sec. 516)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 508 of title 32, United States Code, to include the 
United States Naval Sea Cadet Corps among the list of 
organizations that are eligible to receive assistance from 
members and units of the National Guard.

      Subtitle C--General Service Authorities and Military Records


Modernization of the Selective Service System (sec. 521)

    The committee recommends a provision that would make 
numerous amendments to the Military Selective Service Act (50 
U.S.C. 3801 et seq.) to expand registration requirements under 
that Act to all Americans and to restate the purpose and 
solemnity of selective service during times of war. The 
expansion of registration to all Americans would take effect 1 
year after the date of the enactment of this Act.

Prohibition on induction under the Military Selective Service Act 
        without express authorization (sec. 522)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 3809 of title 50, United States Code, to provide that 
no person may be inducted into the Armed Forces unless the 
Congress first passes, and there is enacted, a law authorizing 
such induction into service.

Extension of temporary authority for targeted recruitment incentives 
        (sec. 523)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 522 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) by extending until 
December 31, 2025, the authority for a Secretary of a military 
department to develop and provide new incentives to encourage 
individuals to join the military as an officer or enlisted 
servicemember.

Home leave demonstration program (sec. 524)

    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the Secretaries of the military departments to conduct a 
demonstration program to reimburse servicemembers stationed in 
Alaska for the cost of airfare to travel to the soldier's home-
of-record. Under the pilot program, reimbursement would only be 
authorized for members based upon the written recommendation of 
a mental health provider and the approval of the member's 
commander.

Prohibition on considering State laws and regulations when determining 
        individual duty assignments (sec. 525)

    The committee recommends a provision that would prohibit 
the Secretary of Defense from using the agreement or 
disagreement of a member of the Armed Forces with the State 
laws and regulations applicable to any duty station when 
determining the duty assignment of the member.

Modification to limitations on discharge or release from Active Duty 
        (sec. 526)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 1168 of title 10, United States Code, to clarify that 
members of the active and reserve components may not be 
discharged or released from Active Duty until the member's 
final pay, or a substantial part of that pay, is ready for 
delivery.

Sex-neutral high fitness standards for Army combat military 
        occupational specialties (sec. 527)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of the Army to establish sex-neutral fitness 
standards for Army combat military occupational specialties 
(MOSs) higher than such standards for non-combat MOSs not later 
than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act. The 
provision would require the Secretary to provide a briefing to 
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives that describes the list of combat MOSs with 
higher fitness standards and the methodology used to include a 
certain MOS on the list.

          Subtitle D--Military Justice and Other Legal Matters


Briefing and report on resourcing required for implementation of 
        military justice reform (sec. 541)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretaries concerned to submit a report to the relevant 
congressional committees, not later than 1 year after the date 
of the enactment of this Act, on the resourcing necessary to 
implement the reforms contained in Subtitle D of Title V of the 
National Defense Authorization for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 
117-81). The amendment would also require the Secretaries 
concerned to provide semi-annual briefings to relevant 
congressional committees through December 31, 2024, on the 
Department of Defense's assessment of the resources necessary 
to implement the amendments made by that Subtitle.

Randomization of court-martial panels (sec. 542)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
Article 25 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) (10 
U.S.C. 825), to require that convening authorities detail 
members of the Armed Forces for service as panel members of 
courts-martial under regulations prescribed by the President 
for the randomized selection of qualified personnel for such 
panels, to the extent practicable. The provision would require 
the President to promulgate regulations implementing this 
provision not later than 2 years after the date of the 
enactment of this Act.
    The committee notes that this provision would implement 
recommendation 1.7d of the Independent Review Commission on 
Sexual Assault in the Military to provide for randomized 
selection of court-martial panel members. The committee directs 
the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than July 1, 2023, on progress made 
in implanting this provision and any additional changes to the 
UCMJ that are necessary to effect this change.

Matters in connection with special trial counsel (sec. 543)

Article 1 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (10 U.S.C. 
801) to include various additional punitive articles within the 
definition of ``covered offense'' subject to the authority of 
the Office of Special Trial Counsel. The provision would also 
require the President to amend the Manual for Courts-Martial to 
ensure that residual prosecutorial and judicial duties with 
respect to covered offenses are transferred to an appropriate 
entity. Finally, the provision would require comprehensive 
reporting from the Department of Defense regarding 
implementation of the reforms to the military justice system 
contained in subtitle D of title V of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81).

Jurisdiction of Courts of Criminal Appeals (sec. 544)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
Article 66 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (UCMJ) (10 
U.S.C. 866) to authorize judicial review of any conviction by 
court-martial. The provision would also amend the scope of 
review under Article 69 of the UCMJ (10 U.S.C. 869) by a Judge 
Advocate General.

Special trial counsel (sec. 545)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
Article 24a of the Uniform Code of Military Justice (10 U.S.C. 
824a), concerning the provision of Special Trial Counsel, added 
by section 531 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81), to make various technical 
corrections to that article.

Exclusion of officers serving as lead special trial counsel from 
        limitations on authorized strengths for general and flag 
        officers (sec. 546)

    The committee recommends a provision that would exempt lead 
special trial counsel appointed pursuant to section 1044f of 
title 10, United States Code, from limitations on general and 
flag officers contained in section 526a of title 10, United 
States Code, for 2 years from the date of enactment of this 
Act.

Special trial counsel of Department of the Air Force (sec. 547)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 1044f of title 10, United States Code, added by section 
532 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2022 (Public Law 117-81), to clarify that within the Department 
of the Air Force a single dedicated office for the Department 
shall be created from which trial counsel of the Department of 
the Air Force will be supervised. The committee notes that the 
Air Force will continue to provide legal support to the Space 
Force, including execution of the requirements of Subtitle D, 
Title V of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2022.

Restricted reporting option for Department of Defense civilian 
        employees choosing to report experiencing adult sexual assault 
        (sec. 548)

    The committee recommends a provision that would add a new 
section 1599j to title 10, United States Code, to authorize 
civilian employees of the Department of Defense to make 
restricted reports of sexual assault for purposes of assisting 
the employee in obtaining information and access to authorized 
victim support services provided by the Department.

        incidents of child abuse, adult crimes against children, and 
        serious harmful behavior between children and youth involving 
        military dependents on military installations (sec. 549)

    The committee recommends a provision that would modify 
section 549B of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-
283) to require the Secretary concerned to establish specific 
guidance for a separate multidisciplinary team tailored to 
respond to serious harmful behaviors between children and 
youth.

Primary prevention (sec. 550)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
sections 549A and 549B of the National Defense Authorization

specific research topics regarding interpersonal and self-
directed violence, to require the Primary Prevention Workforce 
to incorporate findings and conclusions from the primary 
prevention research agenda, and require the Comptroller General 
of the United States to submit to the congressional defense 
committees a report comparing the sexual harassment and 
prevention training of the Department of Defense with similar 
programs at other Federal departments not later than 1 year 
after the date of the enactment of this Act.

Dissemination of civilian legal services information (sec. 551)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense, through the Sexual Assault Prevention and 
Response Office, to provide for the coordinated distribution 
and referral of information on the availability of resources 
provided by civilian legal services organizations to military-
connected sexual assault victims.

         Subtitle E--Member Education, Training, and Transition

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense, not later than 180 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, to require the military departments 
and U.S. Special Operations Command to complete a review and 
appropriately update Department guidance and processes, with 
respect to the authority of the Commander, U.S. Special 
Operations Command, to monitor the promotions of special 
operations forces and coordinate with the military departments 
regarding the assignment, retention, training, professional 
military education, and special and incentive pays of special 
operations forces.

Expanded eligibility to provide Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps 
        (JROTC) instruction (sec. 562)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 2031 of title 10, United States Code, to authorize the 
Secretary concerned to appoint certain recently separated 
servicemembers and participating members of the Selected 
Reserve to serve as Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps 
instructors.

Pre-service education demonstration program (sec. 563)

    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the Secretary of each military department to establish and 
carry out a demonstration program to determine the advisability 
and feasibility of paying for all or a portion of the tuition 
for an individual who is enrolled in a technical or vocational 
degree, certificate, or certification program and who also 
signs an enlistment contract.

    Subtitle F--Military Family Readiness and Dependents' Education


Certain assistance to local educational agencies that benefit 
        dependents of military and civilian personnel (sec. 571)

    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
$50.0 million in Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide, for 
continuation of the Department of Defense (DOD) assistance 
program to local educational agencies impacted by enrollment of 
dependent children of military members and DOD civilian 
employees.
    The provision would also authorize $10.0 million in 
Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide, for impact aid 
payments for children with disabilities as enacted by the Floyd 
D. Spence National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2001 (Public Law 106-398), using the formula set forth in 
section 363 of the Floyd D. Spence National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2001, for continuation of 
Department of Defense assistance to local educational agencies 
that benefit eligible dependents with severe disabilities. 
Furthermore, the provision would authorize the Secretary of 
Defense to use an additional $10.0 million for payments to 
local educational agencies determined by the Secretary to have 
higher concentrations of military children with severe 
disabilities. Finally, the provision would require the 
Secretary to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not 
later than March 31, 2023, on the Department's evaluation of 
each local educational agency with higher concentrations of 
military children with severe disabilities and its subsequent 
determination of the amounts of impact aid each such agency 
should receive.

Assistance to local educational agencies that benefit dependents of 
        members of the Armed Forces with enrollment changes due to base 
        closures, force structure changes, or force relocations (sec. 
        572)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to provide financial assistance to 
eligible local educational agencies benefiting military 
dependent students that may be affected by enrollment changes 
due to base closures, force structure changes, or force 
relocations. The provision would prescribe the criteria for a 
local educational agency's eligibility for assistance and 
provide a methodology for calculation of such assistance. A 
local educational agency could not receive more than $15.0 
million in assistance for any fiscal year. The authorization to 
provide assistance would sunset on September 30, 2028. Finally, 
the provision would require the Secretary 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 
estimated cost to provide assistance to such agencies through 
the period ending on the sunset date.

Pilot program on hiring of special education inclusion coordinators for 
        Department of Defense child development centers (sec. 573)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretaries of 
the military departments, to carry out a pilot program to hire 
special education inclusion coordinators at child development 
centers (CDCs) with a high population of military children 
enrolled in the Exceptional Family Member Program. The 
committee is aware that there are challenges recruiting and 
retaining high quality childcare providers in Department of 
Defense CDCs, and these challenges are even greater when the 
CDC staffs lack expertise in special education coordination. 
This provision would also require two briefings related to the 
pilot program.

Extension of and report on pilot program to expand eligibility for 
        enrollment at domestic dependent elementary and secondary 
        schools (sec. 574)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 589C(e) of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-
283) to extend the duration of the pilot program that expands 
eligibility for enrollment at domestic dependent elementary and 
secondary schools until July 1, 2029. The provision would 
require 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 December 31, 2028, on the 
conduct of the pilot program.

 Subtitle G--Decorations and Awards, Miscellaneous Reports, and Other 
                                Matters


Temporary exemption from end strength grade restrictions for the Space 
        Force (sec. 581)

    The committee recommends a provision that would temporarily 
exempt the U.S. Space Force from the end strength grade 
restrictions in sections 517 and 523 of title 10, United States 
Code, until January 1, 2024.

Report on officer personnel management and the development of the 
        professional military ethic in the Space Force (sec. 582)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of the Air Force to submit to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a 
report on proposed officer personnel management and the 
development of the professional military ethic in the Space 
Force not later than June 1, 2023.

Report on incidence of suicide by military job code in the Department 
        of Defense (sec. 583)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to conduct a review and submit a report to 
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on the rates of suicides in the Armed Forces, 
disaggregated by year, military job code, and component, during 
the time period beginning after September 11, 2001, and 
continuing to the present day, including the Department of 
Defense's most recent data responsive to this report. The 
Secretary concerned would be required to provide an interim 
briefing on the status of this review not later than June 1, 
2023, and a final briefing to the Committees on Armed Services 
of the Senate and the House of Representatives not later than 
December 31, 2023.

Waiver of time limitations for Act of Valor during World War II (sec. 
        584)

    The committee recommends a provision that would waive the 
time limitations specified in section 7274 of title 10, United 
States Code, to authorize the award of the Medal of Honor to 
Master Sergeant Roderick W. Edmonds.

Authorization to award Medal of Honor to Sergeant Major David R. 
        Halbruner for acts of valor in support of an unnamed operation 
        in 2012 (sec. 585)

    The committee recommends a provision that would waive the 
time limitation in section 7274 of title 10, United States 
Code, to authorize the President to award the Medal of Honor 
under section 7271 of such title to Sergeant Major David R. 
Halbruner for his valorous actions on September 11-12, 2012, in 
support of an unnamed operation.

Recognition of service of Lieutenant General Frank Maxwell Andrews 
        (sec. 586)

    The committee recommends a provision that would recognize 
and honor the service and sacrifice of Lieutenant General Frank 
Maxwell Andrews. The committee finds that Lieutenant General 
Andrews should be honored and recognized for: (1) His 37 years 
of loyal service to the U.S. Army and Army Air Corps; (2) His 
heroic leadership during World War I and World War II; and (3) 
His lasting legacy and selfless sacrifice on behalf of the 
United States.

Posthumous appointment of Ulysses S. Grant to grade of General of the 
        Armies of the United States (sec. 587)

    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the posthumous appointment of Ulysses S. Grant to the grade of 
General of the Armies of the United States, equivalent to the 
rank and precedence held by General John J. Pershing.

Modification to notification on manning of afloat naval forces (sec. 
        588)

    The committee recommends a provision that would modify an 
existing notification on manning of afloat naval forces to 
repeal the sunset and add a requirement related to the crewing 
of surface combatant vessels.
    The committee is concerned that the Navy has not made 
appreciable progress in reducing manning gaps on naval vessels 
since the enactment of a congressional reporting requirement in 
fiscal year 2019. The committee notes that the Chief of Naval 
Personnel testified before the Committee on Armed Services of 
the House of Representatives on February 8, 2022, that the Navy 
had 5,000 to 6,000 gapped at-sea billets at that time. The 
committee also notes the budget request would reduce Navy end 
strength by 10,300 sailors over the next 5 years.
    The committee believes that additional focus and resourcing 
by Navy leadership is warranted to fully man afloat naval 
forces and it would be imprudent to discontinue reporting on 
such manning until gaps at-sea exceed the congressional 
reporting requirement thresholds.
    Additionally, the committee is not aware of the Navy 
successfully implementing a multiple crews to single surface 
combatant vessel approach that has consistently met 
operational, manning, maintenance, and training objectives 
across multiple ships of a class.
    The committee is concerned that the Navy's current practice 
of assigning multiple crews to a single surface combatant 
vessel (e.g., ``blue-gold'' or ``3-2-1'' crewing both classes 
of littoral combat ship) is exacerbating manning shortfalls 
across the surface combatant fleet with little operational 
benefit demonstrated to date.
    The committee is also concerned that Navy plans to phase-in 
implementation of a ``blue-gold'' crewing approach on the FFG-
62 class would similarly worsen at-sea manning gaps and impose 
more burdensome manning, maintenance, and training 
requirements, as compared to a single crewing construct, 
without a clear path to achieving the desired operational 
outcomes.
    Prior to considering a future proposal to assign multiple 
crews for a single surface combatant, the committee will seek: 
(1) Evidence that the new FFG-62 class has proven a single 
crewing model is effective across multiple hulls and 
deployments; (2) Evidence that surface combatant vessel manning 
exceeds the congressional reporting requirements in section 597 
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 
(Public Law 116-92); (3) A comprehensive plan describing why a 
multiple crew construct is warranted, how it will be fully 
resourced, and the associated manning, maintenance, training, 
and operational elements of such plan; (4) The manning, 
maintenance, training, and operational impacts of such 
construct across the entire surface combatant vessel force; and 
(5) A comparison of the distributable inventory of officers, by 
designator, and sailors, by rate, available for at-sea 
assignment compared to the billets authorized and ship manpower 
document requirements for the entire surface combatant vessel 
force.

                       Items of Special Interest


Addressing the impact of inflation on military retail operations

    The committee is aware that the current inflationary 
economy is putting a financial strain on servicemembers and 
their families. The committee therefore directs the Secretary 
of Defense 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 following issues: (1) The 
impact of rising prices on the revenue, profits, and operations 
of the military exchange and commissary systems; (2) Any 
measures that the exchange and commissary systems have 
undertaken to minimize the impact of inflation on 
servicemembers and their families, particularly for basic 
necessities; and (3) Any other relevant issues that the 
Secretary deems necessary.

Air National Guard tuition assistance pilot program briefing

    The committee understands that tuition assistance 
consistently ranks among the top factors that potential 
recruits consider when deciding whether to join a military 
service. As the military in general and the reserve component 
in particular experience significant difficulties meeting 
recruiting goals, the committee encourages the Department of 
Defense to utilize all available tuition assistance authorities 
and funding.
    The committee is aware that the Air National Guard 
conducted a pilot program to provide Federal tuition assistance 
to some members of the Air National Guard in the Selected 
Reserve. The Director of the Air National Guard shall provide a 
briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives, not later than March 31, 2023, on 
the results of this pilot program and any future plans to 
provide tuition assistance to members of the Air National 
Guard.

Assessment of Department of Defense Education Activity's policies and 
        procedures on student misconduct

    The committee remains concerned about the adequacy of the 
Department of Defense Education Activity's (DODEA) policies and 
procedures for addressing student misconduct. In the Senate 
report accompanying S. 2987 (S. Rept. 115-262) of the John S. 
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, 
the committee directed the Department of Defense Inspector 
General (DOD IG) to conduct a comprehensive assessment of the 
Department of Defense and DODEA's policies and procedures 
regarding misconduct, including sexual misconduct, to help 
child victims of misconduct and to rehabilitate child 
offenders, including whether the Department took corrective 
actions to hold offenders accountable when appropriate. The DOD 
IG issued a report titled ``Evaluation of the Department of 
Defense and Department of Defense Education Activity Responses 
to Incidents of Serious Juvenile-on-Juvenile Misconduct on 
Military Installations'' (Report No. DODIG-2020-127) on 
September 4, 2020. This report concluded that the DOD and DODEA 
lacked policies and procedures to respond to serious cases of 
sexual and non-sexual juvenile-on-juvenile misconduct. It also 
found discrepancies in investigative record keeping that made 
it difficult to discern whether serious juvenile-on-juvenile 
offenses were referred to appropriate officials and 
installation commanders and whether or not administrative or 
legal action was taken. The report made several recommendations 
to address these findings.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, not later 
than March 1, 2023, to provide a briefing to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
on the implementation of the recommendations of the DOD IG.

Briefing on childcare solutions at Eglin Air Force Base

    The committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to 
provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than March 
1, 2023, on servicemember access to childcare at Eglin Air 
Force Base, Florida. The briefing shall include a comprehensive 
review of childcare issues linked to the 7th Special Forces 
Group (Airborne) and other military units whose members reside 
in the areas north of the main base. The briefing shall also 
include recommendations to ensure that members assigned to the 
7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) and their families have 
access to a child development center.

Briefing on effectiveness of Department of Defense military spouse 
        programs

    The committee is aware that quality of life and family 
support are critical elements to successful recruiting and 
retention within the Armed Forces. The committee believes that 
effective spousal support programs are an essential element of 
this family support.
    The committee therefore directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than 
December 31, 2023, on the effectiveness of military spousal 
support programs. Such briefing shall include a thorough 
evaluation of the performance of the military spouse employment 
programs and initiatives of the Department of Defense (DOD). 
The briefing shall include but not be limited to: (1) A 
comprehensive list of existing DOD military spouse employment 
programs, to include service-specific programs; (2) An 
assessment of the effectiveness of each program or initiative 
based upon existing performance metrics; (3) A cost assessment 
of each program or initiative per fiscal year for the last 5 
years; (4) An identification of public-private partnerships 
that improve military spouse employment and hiring metrics of 
those programs; and (5) Any recommendations related to existing 
programs identified as a result of such evaluation.

Briefing on training on certain Department of Defense Instructions for 
        members of the Armed Forces

    The committee notes that section 556 of the William M. 
(Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283) required the Secretary of 
Defense to implement training on relevant Federal statutes, 
Department of Defense (DOD) regulations, and military service 
regulations in accordance with DOD Instruction (DODI) 1300.17.
    The committee directs the Secretary to provide a briefing 
to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
of Representatives, not later than December 1, 2022, on the 
Department's progress in meeting this requirement. The briefing 
shall include the following: (1) A copy of the educational 
materials for each military service; (2) A description, 
disaggregated by military service, of the number of trainings 
that have been conducted pursuant to DODI 1300.17; (3) The 
number of members of the Armed Forces who have received the 
training; and (4) The number of members of the Armed Forces who 
have yet to complete the training.

Carsharing feasibility and advisability

    The committee is aware of the many environmental, 
logistical, and financial benefits of car sharing and ride 
sharing, particularly for people who do not own a vehicle and 
live in an isolated or remote area without easy access to 
transportation. Car sharing involves many individuals sharing a 
single vehicle. Car sharing can be structured as a rental 
business, whereby the shared vehicles are owned by a 
corporation as part of a fleet and available for hourly or 
daily rental, or as a peer-to-peer network, whereby an 
individual vehicle owner makes his or her personal vehicle 
available for others to rent when the owner is not using it. 
Ride sharing, on the other hand, provides a peer-to-peer 
platform for vehicle owners and operators to give rides to 
others for a fee without the owner relinquishing control of the 
vehicle.
    In the committee report accompanying H.R. 4350 (H. Rept 
117-118), the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2022, as passed by the House of Representatives, the 
Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives 
required the Department of Defense (DOD) to study the logistics 
and benefits of peer-to-peer car sharing. Although this 
provision required a thorough review of car sharing as an 
economic and social business model, it did not require the 
Department to assess the feasibility and advisability of a DOD-
sponsored car sharing pilot program on military installations.
    Given the known benefits of car sharing and ride sharing, 
the committee believes the Department of Defense should explore 
the possibility of encouraging such practices on military 
installations. The committee therefore directs the Secretary of 
Defense to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not 
later than April 1, 2023, on the feasibility and advisability 
of conducting a car sharing or ride sharing pilot program at 
military installations, including installations that are 
located in remote or isolated areas. This briefing shall 
include the following: (1) An analysis of the transportation-
related challenges that servicemembers and their families face, 
particularly those stationed at remote or isolated 
installations; (2) An analysis of whether a car sharing or ride 
sharing pilot program on military installations could ease such 
transportation-related challenges; (3) Recommendations, if any, 
for the type or types of car sharing or ride sharing that would 
be most appropriate to pilot on a military installation, 
including a consideration of the foreseeable legal, ethical, 
and military cultural issues that could arise from car sharing 
or ride sharing at military installations, particularly for 
peer-to-peer models such as individual car or ride sharing; (4) 
Projected costs associated with such a pilot; and (5) Any other 
relevant matters that the Secretary deems appropriate.

Comptroller General report on Department of Defense childcare shortages

    The committee understands that the childcare capacity 
challenges the Department of Defense (DOD) faces are also 
challenges in the civilian childcare sector. These challenges 
include significant provider shortages, especially for infant 
care. Military families, moving from installation to 
installation every few years, do not often have a family 
network nearby to help with childcare burdens, and so they 
especially rely on DOD childcare facilities to ensure the safe 
care of their children. The committee remains concerned about 
the Department's ability to recruit and retain child 
development center (CDC) staff in a competitive hiring market.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Comptroller General 
of the United States to submit to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not 
later than March 31, 2024, with an interim briefing not later 
than March 31, 2023, a report: (1) Evaluating the data and 
methods used by the Department of Defense to conduct market 
analyses, review wage settings, and calculate retention rates 
for childcare providers; (2) Reviewing the Department's 
initiatives aimed at improving staff retention; (3) Determining 
ongoing recruiting and retention challenges faced by CDCs, and 
what actions could alleviate those challenges; and (4) 
Including any other issues deemed relevant by the Comptroller 
General.

Comptroller General report on military transition programs

    The committee supports the continued investments into the 
successful and safe transition of servicemembers from active, 
reserve, and National Guard service into civilian life. Each 
year, approximately 200,000 servicemembers transition from 
military service to civilian life. To help them successfully 
prepare for civilian life, the Department of Defense (DOD) is 
required, by law, to ensure that all eligible servicemembers 
participate in the Transition Assistance Program (TAP) to 
receive counseling, employment assistance, and information on 
Federal veteran benefits, among other supports. At the end of 
the TAP curriculum, servicemembers must demonstrate their 
readiness for civilian life by meeting a series of career 
readiness standards, such as completing an individual 
transition plan and a job application package. In addition, 
commanders or their designees must verify that the 
servicemember has met the standards. Servicemembers who do not 
meet one or more career readiness standards or need further 
assistance are referred to partner agencies, such as the 
Department of Labor and Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), 
for additional services. This referral process is known as the 
``warm handover.'' However, little is known about the 
effectiveness of this process.
    The Government Accountability Office (GAO) has provided 
exceptional insight into the TAP processes through their 
previous reports: (1) ``DOD Needs to Improve Performance 
Reporting and Monitoring for the Transition Assistance 
Program'' (GAO-18-23), published November 8, 2017; (2) ``DOD's 
Transition Assistance Program at Small or Remote 
Installations'' (GAO-21-104608), published July 21, 2021; (3) 
``Performance Goals Could Strengthen Programs that Help 
Servicemembers Obtain Civilian Employment'' (GAO-20-416), 
published July 9, 2020; and (4) ``DOD Has Taken Steps to Help 
Servicemembers Transfer Skills to Civilian Employment but Has 
Limited Evidence to Determine Program Effectiveness'' (GAO-22-
105261), published February 17, 2022.
    Additionally, the GAO is currently undertaking three 
separate reports that address aspects of the veteran transition 
process: (1) Servicemember Transition Counseling; (2) Veterans 
High Tech Education; and (3) VA Solid Start. The committee 
looks forward to receiving these to help inform future 
oversight.
    As testified by the Department of Defense Inspector General 
(DODIG), the Department did not consistently screen for suicide 
risk or arrange for uninterrupted mental health care for 
transitioning servicemembers, as required by Executive Order 
13822 ``Supporting Our Veterans During Their Transition From 
Uniformed Service to Civilian Life'' and DOD policy. The DOD 
did not establish and implement oversight of mental health 
assessments and suicide risk screening processes for 
transitioning servicemembers. Additionally, DOD Instruction 
6490.10 lacks a clear definition of a warm handoff provider, 
training tools, standardized documentation methods, and 
oversight procedures to ensure compliance. The DODIG made five 
separate recommendations to address suicide and mental health 
issues during veterans' transition.
    In conjunction with the DODIG recommendations and 
subsequent review, the committee eagerly awaits the GAO's 
report examining transitioning servicemembers' access to 
continual mental health care, veterans' access to mental health 
care after transition, and veteran suicide ideations/attempts, 
as requested by the House Committee on Oversight and Reform's 
Subcommittee on National Security.
    In order to further refine the TAP processes and ensure 
servicemembers are being effectively guided into civilian life, 
the committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to conduct a comprehensive review of the Department's 
warm handover process for servicemembers transitioning to 
civilian life. At a minimum, the review shall assess the 
following:
          (1) How does the DOD oversee the warm handover 
        referral process to ensure servicemembers receive an 
        in-person referral, as required;
          (2) How is the DOD addressing the warm handover 
        referral process for certain groups of servicemembers 
        who may be facing specific, unique barriers to 
        transition, such as those undergoing rapid separation 
        or other than honorable discharge;
          (3) What is known about the effectiveness of the warm 
        handover process in successfully connecting 
        servicemembers to additional resources provided by TAP 
        partner agencies; and
          (4) Any other matters deemed relevant by the 
        Comptroller General.
    The committee farther directs the Comptroller General to 
provide an interim briefing to the committee on the review, not 
later than March 31, 2023, and to issue a report to follow at a 
time agreed to subsequent to the briefing.

Comptroller General review of Department of Defense Education Activity 
        compliance with title IX prohibitions on sex-based 
        discrimination

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense 
Education Activity (DODEA) is required to comply with Title IX 
of the Education Amendments of 1972 (also referred to as 
``title IX'') under section 921 of title 20, United States 
Code, which specifies that, ``the provisions of title IX . . . 
shall apply equally to education programs and activities 
administered by [DODEA],'' as well as Executive Order 13160, 
dated June 27, 2000. To date, limited compliance reviews have 
been completed, but a full evaluation has not been conducted to 
determine whether the DODEA complies with these provisions. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of the 
United States to assess DOD's efforts to comply with these 
provisions. The assessment shall include an analysis of:
          (1) The extent to which the DOD ensures its policies 
        and practices comply with the prohibitions on sex-based 
        discrimination established by title IX;
          (2) The education and training provided to 
        administrators, title IX coordinators, and staff 
        related to title IX's prohibitions on sex-based 
        discrimination;
          (3) The availability and quality of supportive 
        measures and services provided to complainants;
          (4) The availability and quality of supportive 
        measures and services provided to those accused of sex-
        based discrimination, to include due process 
        protections;
          (5) The complaint recordkeeping, processing, 
        dismissal requirements, and resolutions related to 
        title IX's prohibitions on sex-based discrimination,
          (6) The policies and procedures intended to provide 
        collaboration with military or civilian law enforcement 
        agencies; and
          (7) Any other matters the Comptroller General deems 
        necessary.
    Furthermore, the committee 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 
July 31, 2023, on its preliminary findings. The format and 
timeframe for a final report shall be determined by agreement 
at the time of the briefing.

Comptroller General review of standardized testing practices in 
        Department of Defense Education Activity schools

    The committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to conduct an assessment of standardized testing 
practices and requirements across DODEA schools. This 
assessment shall include the following: (1) A thorough review 
of standardized tests offered or mandated in DODEA schools by 
grade level; (2) An analysis of the number of testing days 
versus instructional days at DODEA schools by grade level 
compared to other public school systems; (3) An exploration of 
possible redundancy in DODEA standardized testing; and (4) Any 
other issues related to standardized testing in DODEA schools 
that the Comptroller General deems relevant.
    The Comptroller General shall provide a report to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on the results of this assessment and any 
related recommendations not later than June 1, 2023.

Department of Defense Inspector General assessment of anti-harassment 
        programs at senior service colleges

    The committee is concerned about the efficacy and 
effectiveness of anti-harassment programs in academic 
environments of the Department of Defense's senior service 
colleges, including processes for investigating and 
adjudicating allegations of harassment levied against 
instructors and administrators at the senior service colleges. 
Academic environments present unique challenges for ensuring 
harassment-free experiences for students in civilian 
institutions, as well as in the military.
    The committee directs the Department of Defense Inspector 
General (DODIG) to conduct a comprehensive assessment of anti-
harassment programs and policies at the senior service 
colleges, including processes for addressing harassment claims 
against instructors, processes for protecting students and 
others who make claims of harassment, processes for addressing 
allegations made against or by inter-service servicemembers, 
and processes for assessing the adequacy of response by senior 
service college administration relative to those accused of 
harassment and the protection of those making such allegations. 
The committee directs the DODIG to provide a briefing to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on the findings of this assessment upon 
completion.

Economic analysis of space component on Space Force labor market

    The Space Force proposal for a combined full-time/part-time 
``space component'' would have widespread ramifications on the 
Space Force labor market. These ramifications, whether 
intentional or otherwise, would likely diverge significantly 
from the well-established and thoroughly studied traditional 
military personnel and manpower construct. Since this 
divergence necessarily introduces a new level of uncertainty to 
the Space Force's ability to meet its overall mission 
requirements, the committee believes a thorough examination of 
the space component proposal must be conducted from the 
perspective of labor economics.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of 
the Air Force for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, in conjunction 
with the Chief of Space Operations, to utilize the Air Force's 
Office of Labor and Economic Analysis (OLEA) to review plans 
for the space component and provide a report to the Committees 
on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than June 1, 2023. The report shall 
include the Assistant Secretary's findings and an unedited copy 
of the original OLEA review of the following items:
          (1) A thorough policy analysis of Space Force labor 
        requirements and space component plans, including:
                  (a) a detailed examination of the policy 
                framework for the reserve component, consistent 
                with existing authorities, to provide access to 
                a skilled and technical workforce;
                  (b) an assessment of any significant 
                statutory or policy impediments caused by 
                existing authorities to accessing the type of 
                workforce the Space Force requires;
                  (c) supporting analysis to include trade-
                offs, costs, and projected uptake associated 
                with the various elements of the space 
                component; and
                  (d) any other matters the Assistant Secretary 
                considers relevant;
          (2) An assessment of the planned Space Force labor 
        market, including:
                  (a) a current and 10-year forecast for Space 
                Force personnel according to status, under 
                existing framework and under the space 
                component plan;
                  (b) an assessment of the current usage and 
                target usage of programs to access skilled and 
                technical workforce required by the Space Force
                  (c) an explanation of the utility and 
                feasibility of allowing Space Force officers to 
                repeatedly and seamlessly transition between 
                full-time and part-time status throughout the 
                course of their military careers;
                  (d) an explanation of the utility and 
                feasibility of allowing Space Force officers to 
                receive constructive credit during transitions 
                between Active Duty and reserve active-status; 
                and
                  (e) an assessment of the applicable 
                workforce's willingness to participate in the 
                various programs envisioned by the Space Force. 
                This assessment shall include:
                          (i) a crosswalk between Space Force 
                        occupational and competency 
                        requirements and civilian market job 
                        equivalencies;
                          (ii) a comparison of compensation 
                        (wages and benefits) in the civilian 
                        workforce and a correspondence to 
                        equivalent positions and grades in the 
                        Space Force;
                          (iii) a review of private sector 
                        labor market employment terms and 
                        conditions and their success in 
                        attracting and retaining talent in 
                        fields and occupations identified in 
                        the Space Force crosswalk; and
                          (iv) an assessment of potential 
                        mechanisms to increase participation of 
                        skilled and technical workforce.

Electronic sports and Navy recruiting

    The committee recognizes the Navy's efforts to expand its 
recruiting outreach to include a presence on electronic sports 
(eSports) streaming platforms. These streaming platforms may be 
more effective than traditional broadcast media at reaching 
young Americans and informing them of the benefits of military 
service. The committee also commends the Navy's electronic 
sports team, Goats & Glory, for maximizing opportunities to 
reach a diverse population of potential Navy recruits. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to 
provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than March 
1, 2023, detailing the data and any relevant analyses that 
demonstrate the value of eSports streaming outreach in relation 
to military recruiting.

Ellsworth Air Force Base schools

    The committee is aware of the Department of the Air Force's 
changing projections for the number and composition of school-
aged children associated with the assumption of the B-21 
mission at Ellsworth Air Force Base (AFB), to include different 
projections offered by various Air Force commands and 
activities. The lack of reliable, phased projections of the 
number of school-aged children, when combined with existing 
school capacity limitations, requires Secretary-level 
involvement to inform community planning and resourcing 
efforts.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the congressional defense 
committees, not later than December 1, 2022, which shall 
include: (1) The total number of children projected at 
Ellsworth AFB; and (2) A breakdown by school grade level of the 
number of students per academic year beginning with the arrival 
of the first B-21 activities and ending with the arrival of the 
final B-21 activities, as understood on the date of the brief. 
Furthermore, the Air Force will provide an analysis of whether 
Department of Defense Education Agency schools should be 
considered and, if not, what its plan is to assist the 
community with the planning for, and resourcing of, the 
construction of schools to support the influx of dependent 
children associated with the assumption of the B-21 mission. 
Furthermore, the briefing shall provide a consideration of 
providing funding from the Impact Aid for Large Scale Rebasing 
Program and other relevant Department of Defense and Department 
of Education programs to expand the capacity of the local 
educational activity. The Air Force shall provide the 
methodology used to make its projections.

Exceptional Family Member School Liaison Program

    The committee recognizes the critical importance of 
ensuring that military families with special needs receive 
educational services and support within the timeline mandated 
by the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (Public Law 
101-476) after a military move. The committee supports the 
Department of Defense's (DOD) policy of linking military 
families with special needs to Exceptional Military Family 
Member (EFMP) school liaisons.
    The committee also notes that the Government Accountability 
Office (GAO) has published two recent reports on the role of 
school liaisons in supporting EFMP families: ``DOD Programs and 
Services for Military Dependent Students with Disabilities,'' 
(GAO-22-105015), published May 19, 2022, and ``U.S. Military 
Families Generally Have the Same Schooling Options as Other 
Families and Consider Multiple Factors when Selecting 
Schools,'' (GAO-21-80), published February 4, 2021. These 
reports highlighted the success that school liaisons are having 
in supporting EFMP families.
    The GAO reports also highlighted some opportunities for 
improvement in the school liaison program. Namely, the reports 
indicated that military families faced challenges in finding 
school liaisons and had mixed experiences in using school 
liaisons. Furthermore, the GAO reports indicated that the DOD 
does not have a Department-wide job description for school 
liaisons.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
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 its efforts to improve EFMP family access to 
school liaisons and other DOD special education supports and 
services. This report shall cover the following issues: (1) A 
description of the communications plan that the DOD has 
implemented to improve awareness of and access to school 
liaisons; (2) An assessment of the effectiveness of this 
communications plan; (3) A description of the data that the DOD 
collects to measure the effectiveness of the school liaison 
program; (4) An assessment of whether the Department should 
adopt a DOD-wide job description for a school liaison; and (5) 
Any other matters or recommendations relevant to this topic 
that the Secretary deems appropriate.

Extremism in the military

    Following the Capitol attack on January 6, 2021, the Biden 
Administration and Department of Defense (DOD) focused 
significant attention and resources on perceived extremism 
within the ranks of the military. On February 5, 2021, 
Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin released a memorandum 
mandating a service-wide stand-down within 60 days for 
discussion and education on extremism in the military. On April 
9, 2021, Secretary Austin established the Countering Extremist 
Activity Working Group (CEAWG) to oversee the implementation of 
the immediate actions and formation of additional and long-term 
recommendations to address perceived extremism in the ranks. 
From April to December of 2021, the DOD CEAWG compiled findings 
from both internal and external subject matter experts and 
found that, ``[t]he available data generally shows that cases 
of prohibited extremist activity among service members was 
rare,'' at just 100 cases. In a force of 2.1 million active and 
reserve personnel, this is a case rate of .005 percent, one 
servicemember out of every 21,000.
    On January 2, 2022, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 
Staff wrote to the committee and detailed the amount of hours 
and dollars spent on fighting this alleged extremism in the 
ranks. Chairman Milley's letter detailed that there were 
5,359,000 hours spent on the extremism stand down, or roughly 2 
hours per servicemember in a total force of 2.1 million, 
including reservists. It detailed that over $500,000 was spent 
on the stand down, not including the cost of compiling the 
report provided by the CEAWG.
    The committee believes that the vast majority of 
servicemembers serve with honor and distinction, and that the 
narrative surrounding systemic extremism in the military 
besmirches the men and women in uniform. The committee believes 
that when extremist activity does in fact occur that it must be 
dealt with swiftly and appropriately; however, the case 
incident rate does not warrant a Department-wide effort on the 
issue. In light of the findings by Secretary Austin's CEAWG, 
the committee believes that spending additional time and 
resources to combat exceptionally rare instances of extremism 
in the military is an inappropriate use of taxpayer funds, and 
should be discontinued by the Department of Defense 
immediately.

Feasibility of remotely piloted aircraft crew mission readiness 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 to optimize and sustain mission readiness, 
longevity, and performance through integrated and holistic 
programs designed to strengthen physical, psychological, 
cognitive, social and family, and spiritual elements of the 
operator. 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 March 
1, 2023, that:
          (1) Determines the health and welfare needs of the 
        remotely piloted aircraft crews engaged in direct 
        support of combat operations;
          (2) Works collaboratively with U.S. Special 
        Operations Command (SOCOM) to understand the intent of 
        the Preservation of the Force and Family program and 
        lessons learned from implementation in SOCOM to 
        determine comparable services and facilities for the 
        remotely piloted aircraft aircrew community; and
          (3) Contains an assessment of the need and 
        feasibility of such a program and the cost of 
        establishment.

Legislative fellowships

    The Department of Defense (DOD) legislative fellowship 
program provides select servicemembers and civilian employees 
first-hand experience with the workings of the Congress and, 
through the acquisition of additional skills and knowledge, 
provides the DOD with an understanding of how congressional 
actions affect the DOD's budget, roles and missions, force 
structure, programs, military projects, and quality of life. 
DOD Instruction 1322.06, published October 12, 2016, titled 
``Fellowships, Legislative Fellowships, Internships, 
Scholarships, Training-With-Industry (TWI), and Grants Provided 
to DoD or DoD Personnel for Education and Training,'' requires 
assignment of servicemembers and civilians to an immediate 
utilization tour upon completion of the legislative fellowship 
program. The Instruction authorizes delay or waiver of this 
requirement only as needed to meet current mission needs. The 
committee strongly endorses this program.
    The committee is concerned that some legislative fellows 
may not have been assigned to the required utilization tours 
upon completion of the legislative fellowship program. 
Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
submit an annual report, not later than March 1 of each year 
through calendar year 2028, on the number of servicemembers and 
civilians from the most recent legislative fellowship cycle 
who: (1) Are assigned to utilization tours; (2) Are delayed 
from the required immediate utilization tour; (3) Receive a 
waiver of the required utilization tour; and (4) Leave military 
service for a congressional staff position prior to completion 
of the utilization tour. The report shall include the reasons 
for delayed utilization tours and a detailed explanation for 
each waiver of completion of the required utilization tour. The 
report shall not include personally identifiable information 
regarding the servicemembers and civilians addressed in the 
report.

Military apprenticeships

    The committee encourages the Department of Defense to use 
the Registered Apprenticeship Program (RAP) as part of the 
Transition Assistance Program (TAP). The TAP provides 
information, tools, and training to help servicemembers and 
their spouses get ready to move successfully from military to 
civilian life. The RAP is a proven model of apprenticeship that 
has been validated by the U.S. Department of Labor or a State 
Apprenticeship Agency. RAPs enable and energize more employers 
to participate and provide them access to larger talent pools 
that have been trained for entry-level to management positions, 
thereby meeting industry demands and reducing unemployment 
rates across the country.

Military Childcare in Your Neighborhood PLUS expansion

    The committee understands that Department of Defense (DOD) 
Child and Youth Programs are known to be of exceptional 
quality, meeting the most rigorous accreditation standards 
while providing thoughtful programming at a reasonable cost. 
Due to shortages of providers, the DOD and military services 
have been thinking creatively about innovative ways to provide 
much-needed childcare to servicemembers and their families. 
Beginning in 2019, the Military Childcare in Your Neighborhood-
PLUS Program expanded access for military families to high-
quality community-based providers to increase capacity in high-
demand areas. The program utilizes the quality rating and 
improvement systems (QRIS) in states to ensure that the 
children of servicemembers are able to receive high-caliber 
care.
    The committee remains committed to ensuring that 
servicemembers and their families are able to receive excellent 
childcare in a timely fashion to meet their needs, and 
therefore directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives, not later than March 1, 2023, 
regarding the Military Childcare in Your Neighborhood-PLUS 
Program, or any successor programs, to understand how the DOD 
is using the QRIS in select states to expand the pool of 
eligible childcare providers for military families to use. The 
briefing shall include: (1) Information on the safety records 
of facilities covered by the program; (2) Data on the scope of 
the program in terms of additional childcare capacity; (3) 
Details regarding plans to implement the program in additional 
states; and (4) A description of any challenges in working with 
the states in implementation.

National Guard operational tempo

    The committee is aware of the high operational tempo that 
the Air and Army National Guard have been operating under over 
the past several years. The committee commends the National 
Guard for its critical role in assisting with COVID-19 relief 
efforts and other domestic support operations. The committee is 
concerned, however, that the high operational demands on 
National Guard members from both Federal and State activations 
may have taken a toll on recruiting, retention, and the 
readiness of National Guard members.
    The committee therefore directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Personnel and Readiness and the Director of the 
National Guard Bureau to provide a briefing to the Committees 
on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than February 1, 2023, on the 
following topics: (1) Whether State duty interferes with or 
negatively impacts recruiting, retention, or quality of life 
for members of the National Guard; (2) Whether State-specific 
activations or mobilizations present a barrier to National 
Guard members earning sufficient credit to earn a qualifying 
year for retirement; and (3) any policy recommendations to 
ensure the readiness, fitness, and availability of National 
Guardsmen to contribute to the national defense.

Performance evaluations for Professional Military Education

    The committee notes the importance of Professional Military 
Education (PME) to develop the professional knowledge of 
servicemembers, inculcate the habits of mind essential to the 
profession, and create an arena for intellectual competition to 
advance new ideas and concepts. The committee is also concerned 
that PME has become stagnant, focusing in some cases on 
churning out graduates rather than inculcating a mindset 
focused on lethality and ingenuity honed through peer 
competition. Deterring and defeating adversaries including the 
People's Republic of China and Russia will require a more 
rigorous and competitive PME enterprise.
    Therefore, not later than April 1, 2023, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to submit to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a 
report describing how the performance of military officers at 
PME programs within the Department of Defense is evaluated.
    The report required shall include the following elements:
          (1) A survey of the current methods the military 
        services use to evaluate the performance of military 
        members attending PME programs, including a comparison 
        of how and why such evaluations are different from 
        ordinary duty performance evaluations;
          (2) An analysis of whether current PME performance 
        evaluations accurately assess officer capabilities, 
        including whether such evaluations are metrics-based 
        and related to the knowledge, skills, and attributes 
        required for officers at their respective career 
        stages;
          (3) An assessment of how military officer PME 
        performance is integrated with talent management at 
        each of the military services;
          (4) The current and historical graduation rates of 
        military officers attending PME at each schooling 
        level, going back at least to 2018, if such historical 
        data is available;
          (5) Any findings or recommendations for improving 
        military officer PME performance evaluations and 
        assessments based upon this review; and
          (6) Any other matters the Secretary deems relevant 
        and appropriate.

Physical fitness requirements for close-combat occupational specialties

    The committee understands the value of having individuals 
with diverse backgrounds and experiences serving in today's 
military. The committee also recognizes that servicemembers in 
military occupational specialties requiring close enemy combat 
must meet rigorous physical fitness requirements to ensure 
operational mission success.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than 
February 1, 2023, that: (1) Provides a list of close-combat 
occupational specialties in each military department; (2) 
Describes the physical fitness requirements for each such 
specialty; and (3) Provides rationale for requiring 
servicemembers in non-combat occupational specialties to meet 
the same physical fitness requirements as members serving in 
close combat positions.

Pre-enlistment assistance policy and program review

    Recent reports from the Department of Defense (DOD) show a 
small and declining percentage of young Americans who are both 
qualified and interested in joining the U.S. military. Physical 
fitness and mental aptitude screenings are major factors in 
determining whether an interested potential recruit is 
qualified for military service.
    The committee has a keen interest in expanding the pool of 
Americans who are eligible for military service. It may be the 
case that the military needs to take a more active role in 
preparing potential recruits for the various enlistment 
requirements. While there are some nascent programs currently 
available to help prepare people for the Armed Forces 
Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB), these programs are self-
guided, with little assistance provided by military recruiters. 
Additionally, the committee is unaware of any performance 
metrics associated with these programs.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Personnel and Readiness to provide a briefing to 
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives not later than May 1, 2023 on any early 
tutoring and assistance provided to potential recruits. The 
briefing should include the following:
          (1) Summary of all DOD policies related to assisting 
        potential military recruits with preparing for the 
        ASVAB and physical fitness assessments;
          (2) Summary of all DOD programs currently designed to 
        provide early assistance to potential military recruits 
        with various requirements necessary for enlistment;
          (3) A review of any legislation that prevents the DOD 
        from offering additional assistance to potential 
        military recruits; and (4) Any other matters the Under 
        Secretary considers relevant.

Report on Marine Corps aviation career paths

    The committee notes the Department of Defense has long 
worked to improve aviator recruitment and retention, while non-
flying duties and incentives from outside organizations have 
continued to degrade aviator recruitment and retention goals. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to 
contract with a federally funded research and development 
center (FFRDC) for the performance of a study on alternative 
career paths within Marine Corps aviation, to be provided in an 
unclassified format to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives not later than February 
1, 2023.
    In performing the study, the FFRDC shall take into account, 
within the context of the current Marine Corps aviation 
manpower structure and associated regulations, the following 
matters:
          (1) Talent Management 2030;
          (2) The 2022 United States Marine Corps Aviation 
        Plan;
          (3) The Marine Corps Force Design 2030; and
          (4) The 2019 Commandant's Planning Guidance;
    The study performed shall include the following elements:
          (1) An assessment of the relationship between 
        collateral billets on naval aviator flight duties, 
        career progression, flight performance, and retention;
          (2) An assessment of the relationship between 
        assignment to billets outside primary military 
        occupational specialty and naval aviator career paths, 
        flight performance, and retention.
          (3) An assessment of the feasibility and advisability 
        of enabling Marine Corps warrant officers to be 
        designated naval aviators and fill naval aviator 
        billets;
          (4) An assessment of the feasibility and advisability 
        of naval aviator career paths that do not involve 
        billets outside normal military occupational specialty 
        or non-aviation related collateral billets;
          (5) Recommendations regarding how to implement the 
        studied proposals within the Marine Corps; and
          (6) A presentation and discussion of dissenting 
        viewpoints determined during the conduct of the study 
        and report generation process.

Reprisals in flight training

    The committee is concerned by recent reports in which 
several Marine aviators allege retaliation and harassment after 
reporting sexual harassment or assault. Specifically, the 
claims surround the use of Marine aviation performance boards 
for the purpose of retaliating against the aviators for making 
reports of sexual harassment or assault. As such, the committee 
directs that the Department of Navy Inspector General assess 
both the current command climate of the Marine aviation 
community and the use of Marine aviation performance boards 
with respect to individuals who made claims of sexual 
harassment or assault. The Inspector General shall report the 
findings to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives not later than March 1, 2023.

Review of inclusion of sexual harassment under special trial counsel

    The committee recognizes that the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81) made 
historic changes to the way the military prosecutes allegations 
of sexual assault by moving the prosecution of those cases out 
of the chain of command and under the newly created Special 
Trial Counsel. The legislation, however, did not confer 
prosecutorial decisions for sexual harassment cases to the 
Special Trial Counsel. The committee acknowledges that the 
creation of sexual harassment as a criminal charge will require 
careful implementation but recognizes the importance of 
independence when making decisions related to sexual harassment 
prosecutions. Allowing independent military attorneys to decide 
which sexual harassment offenses go to court-martial could 
strengthen servicemembers' confidence in the system. As such, 
the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to conduct a 
review to assess the feasibility and advisability of including 
the punitive article of sexual harassment within the scope of 
covered offenses over which Special Trial Counsel will exercise 
authority, and to provide the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and the House of Representatives a report describing 
the results of that review not later than March 1, 2023.

Servicemember workforce development

    The committee recognizes the importance of providing strong 
support to servicemembers and their families transitioning from 
Active Duty to the civilian workforce. Throughout a 
servicemember's service to their country, they develop unique 
skillsets, knowledge, and experience in their military 
occupational specialties (MOS) that complement the necessary 
skills within the civilian workforce. The committee supports 
the Department of Defense's efforts to expand the resources 
available for transitioning servicemembers' employment within 
the civilian workforce, but believes there is more work to be 
done in matching servicemembers' MOS and potential civilian 
occupations regularly and with fidelity. The committee 
encourages the Department of Defense to provide accurate means 
to collect data and support ongoing efforts to practically 
align military skills, knowledge, and experience with civilian 
occupational requirements.

SkillBridge program

    The committee is concerned about the efficiency of the 
authorization and approval process required for servicemembers 
to participate in the SkillBridge program, particularly that 
delays as a result of requiring written authorization and 
approval could exclude servicemembers from fully participating 
in the program during their transition to civilian life. 
Ensuring that servicemembers have the opportunity to lay the 
groundwork for a successful civilian career is vital to their 
transition to the civilian workforce. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
Secretaries of the military departments, to submit a report to 
the committee, not later than March 1, 2023, that includes a 
review of the efficiency of the authorization and approval 
process for the SkillBridge program across all service 
branches, including efforts to modernize the process through 
digitization and subsequent effects on the Department of 
Defense and military department tracking of SkillBridge 
utilization and outcomes.

                     Subtitle A--Pay and Allowances

Temporary continuation of basic allowance for housing for members whose 
        sole dependent dies while residing with the member (sec. 601)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 403 of title 37, United States Code, to authorize the 
Secretary of Defense to continue to pay certain servicemembers 
whose sole dependent dies while residing with the member basic 
allowance for housing at the ``with dependent'' rate for up to 
1 year after the death of such dependent.
Basic allowance for housing for members without dependents when home 
        port change would financially disadvantage member (sec. 602)
    The committee recommends a provision that would permit the 
Secretaries of the military departments to treat a member who 
is assigned to a unit that undergoes a change of home port or a 
change of permanent duty station as if the unit to which the 
member is assigned did not undergo such a change if the 
Secretary concerned determines that it would be inequitable to 
do otherwise.
Extension of authority to temporarily adjust basic allowance for 
        housing in certain areas (sec. 603)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
subsection 403(b)(8) of title 37, United States Code, to extend 
the Secretary of Defense's authority to prescribe a temporary 
adjustment in the current rates of basic allowance for housing 
(BAH) for a military housing area if such Secretary determines 
that the actual costs of adequate housing differ from the 
current BAH rates by more than 20 percent through the end of 
2024.
Increase in income for purposes of eligibility for basic needs 
        allowance (sec. 604)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 402b of title 37, United States Code, to expand 
eligibility for the basic needs allowance to servicemembers 
whose households earn less than 150 percent of Federal poverty 
guidelines.
Conforming amendments to update references to travel and transportation 
        authorities (sec. 605)
    The committee recommends a provision that would make 
technical and conforming amendments to update references across 
the United States Code to existing travel and transportation 
authorities in title 37, United States Code.

                  Subtitle B--Bonus and Incentive Pays

One-year extension of certain expiring bonus and special pay 
        authorities (sec. 611)
    The committee recommends a provision that would extend 
certain expiring bonus and special pay authorities by 1 year.
Repeal of sunset of hazardous duty pay (sec. 612)
    The committee recommends a provision that would repeal 
subsection (h) of section 351 of title 37, United States Code, 
which provides for a sunset of the authorization to pay 
hazardous duty pay to certain eligible military members on 
December 31, 2022.
    Prior to the consolidation of all legacy pay authorities 
under subchapter II of chapter 5 of title 37, United States 
Code, as required by the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2008 (Public Law 110-181), this authority was a 
permanent pay authority. This provision would restore hazardous 
duty pay to a permanent status under the new consolidated 
statute.
Authorization of assignment pay or special duty pay based on climate in 
        which a member's duties are performed (sec. 613)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 352 of title 37, United States Code, to authorize the 
Secretary concerned to provide special duty pay to 
servicemembers performing duties in certain climates.
    Military personnel are often required to perform their 
duties in uncomfortable conditions. This authority may provide 
additional flexibility to the military departments to provide 
additional compensation to reward members for exceptional 
performance in especially arduous conditions. For example, 
service in the Arctic or in the desert may not qualify for 
other forms of special duty pay and could be provided under 
this expanded authority.

                           Subtitle C--Leave


Modification of authority to allow members of the Armed Forces to 
        accumulate leave in excess of 60 days (sec. 621)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
subsection 701(f) of title 10, United States Code, to reduce 
the number of leave days that servicemembers can retain under 
such subsection from 120 to 90 days after September 30, 2025. 
This provision would also repeal the authority of the Secretary 
of Defense to designate additional qualifying duties for the 
purposes of accumulating excess leave.
    The committee has received extensive evidence that quality 
of life factors are essential to recruiting, retention, family 
wellness, suicide prevention, mental health, and the fitness 
and readiness of servicemembers. The longstanding cap of 60 
days for retained accumulated leave is based on a policy 
preference for military members to use their leave for rest and 
recuperation rather than to accumulate it over many years in 
order to take a long period of extended leave. Rest and 
recuperation cannot be deferred for years without having a 
negative impact on family readiness.
    The committee believes that a generous leave policy is an 
important benefit for servicemembers and their families. 
However, if servicemembers are allowed to retain accumulated 
leave for many years, they may never be able to use it.
    The committee therefore encourages the Department of 
Defense to develop a uniform policy encouraging members to use 
their leave instead of accumulating leave in sums so large that 
it becomes impracticable for members to use it.

Technical amendments to leave entitlement and accumulation (sec. 622)

    The committee recommends a provision that would repeal the 
obsolete authority in subsection 701(d) of title 10, United 
States Code, and make technical and conforming amendments 
pursuant to this change.

Convalescent leave for members of the Armed Forces (sec. 623)

    The committee recommends a provision that would add a new 
subsection to section 701 of title 10, United States Code, to 
codify and define convalescent leave for members of the Armed 
Forces. The provision would also modify subsection (i) of such 
statute to clarify the scope of convalescent leave for members 
who have given birth.
    The committee commends the Department of Defense (DOD) and 
the military services for embracing the streamlined and 
expanded parental leave benefit for military members authorized 
in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 
(Public Law 117-81) in the spirit in which it was intended.
    The committee agrees with long-standing DOD and service 
policies that restrict convalescent leave eligibility to 
members who are recovering from medical conditions that make 
them not yet fit for duty. Convalescent leave must be given to 
members when appropriate, but, aside from the context of a 
member recovering from childbirth, which is separately 
addressed in section 701 of title 10, United States Code, such 
leave should be individually considered and granted on a case-
by-case basis in response to a member's specific medical 
diagnosis. This could include convalescent leave for a member 
recovering from emotional distress, but such leave should only 
be given under the advice and guidance of a medical provider, 
and not as an automatic entitlement based on assumed medical 
need. Furthermore, convalescent leave has never been used as a 
catch-all leave status for any servicemember who might need to 
accompany a family member to a medical appointment, care for a 
sick family member, or provide other support or assistance to 
someone else. Such family support is critical and should be 
embraced and supported by the DOD, but it is outside the scope 
of convalescent leave.
    The committee also notes that the military chain of command 
has broad latitude to order and authorize members to attend 
medical appointments and address their health needs while in a 
duty status. Military members do not accumulate ``sick leave'' 
or any such analog to the medical leave often provided to non-
military members under the terms of civilian employment. 
Instead, the military departments have long exercised their 
authority to order military members to attend medical 
appointments for themselves and their family members while in 
an ordinary duty status. Within reasonable limits, setting the 
time, place, and manner of military duty status is an inherent 
feature of the chain of command's authority.
    Therefore, the committee encourages the Department of 
Defense to develop a uniform policy that encourages and 
supports servicemember attendance at family medical 
appointments, but in an authorized duty status and not under 
the authority of medical convalescent leave.

                       Subtitle D--Other Matters


Air Force rated officer retention demonstration program (sec. 631)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of the Air Force to establish and carry out a 
demonstration program to improve the retention of certain rated 
officers.

                       Items of Special Interest


Basic allowance for housing for reserve component members without 
        dependents on active orders who must maintain two households

    The committee has heard concerns that some reserve 
component servicemembers without dependents who are called or 
ordered to Active Duty for durations between 140 and 365 days 
have faced financial hardship due to the Department of Defense 
policy that requires such periods of Active Duty to be a 
permanent change of station (PCS). Unlike members of the active 
component who typically PCS to new locations following 
attendance at instructional courses of this duration, members 
of the reserve component overwhelmingly return to their homes 
of record following the completion of a period of active 
service. Such reserve component members frequently have to 
continue to pay their mortgage or lease while they are on 
Active Duty and also pay for lodging at the location of their 
military duty. However, because they are given PCS orders, they 
are only given a single basic allowance for housing (BAH) and 
do not have sufficient income to pay for two households 
simultaneously.
    Specifically, since the Joint Travel Regulation (JTR) 
requires all instructional courses in excess of 139 days to be 
a PCS assignment, the Department of Defense puts reserve 
component members in the position of having to sell or lease 
their homes for periods as short as 20 weeks in order to attend 
instructional courses with durations between 140 and 365 days. 
This kind of short-term leasing may not be possible in many 
cases. In addition to financial hardship, this requirement may 
deter such members from attending such courses due to the 
financial burden of having to pay for both a lease or mortgage 
at their primary residence and cover lodging expenses at the 
location of their military duty.
    The committee further notes that the Secretaries concerned 
are authorized under subsection 403(g) of title 37, United 
States Code, to authorize certain reserve component members 
without dependents who are called to Active Duty for a period 
of more than 30 days to receive both BAH at the location of 
both their home of record and at the location of their assigned 
duty, provided that they are not also afforded travel and 
transportation allowances under subchapter I of chapter 8 of 
title 37, United States Code, including allowances for the 
transportation of household goods that would be authorized 
under a PCS.
    The committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to 
examine policies that would reduce this financial hardship on 
reserve members with no dependents. The committee further 
encourages the Secretary of Defense to either develop a uniform 
policy that streamlines the process for affected reserve 
component members to elect to receive dual BAH entitlements 
under subsection 403(g) and waive their travel entitlements and 
entitlement to transportation of household goods, or to develop 
policy exceptions in the JTR that would allow such members to 
attend instructional schools in a temporary duty status for up 
to 365 days so that they can maintain their home of residence 
and secure lodging at the location of their military duty using 
travel and transportation entitlements.
    Accordingly, not later than April 1, 2023, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives with an assessment of this issue and the policy 
solutions the Department is developing to alleviate this 
financial hardship on affected reserve component members 
without dependents, along with any relevant recommendations for 
legislative remedies to this problem.

Partial dislocation allowance for servicemembers ordered to vacate 
        Government-provided housing

    The committee commends the Department of Defense for 
updating the Joint Travel Regulations on May 1, 2022, to 
reflect the changes to sections 477(f)(1) and 452(c) of title 
37, United States Code, in the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92), which allowed for 
the payment of partial dislocation allowance to unaccompanied 
or single servicemembers ordered to vacate barracks or 
dormitory-style Government housing for the convenience of the 
Government. The committee is aware of the significant financial 
burden that single servicemembers face when ordered to vacate 
Government-owned housing and believes it is appropriate for the 
Department to pay such servicemembers a one-time allowance to 
defray relocation costs.
    Although the language in the statute is permissive, the 
committee commends the Department for setting forth the partial 
Defense Logistics Agency payment as an affirmative entitlement 
in the Joint Travel Regulation. The committee expects that 
payments to single servicemembers ordered to vacate barracks or 
dormitory-style housing will be made promptly and without 
unnecessary bureaucratic delay in order to provide the maximum 
timely benefit to affected servicemembers. The committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing on the 
implementation of this expanded authority to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, 
not later than March 1, 2024, with an interim briefing on March 
1, 2023, including the costs associated with this expanded 
authority, the number of single servicemembers who have 
benefitted from this policy, and any challenges or 
recommendations the Department has to ensure the continued 
funding and payment of this allowance on an ongoing basis.

Special pays to recruit and retain military cyber personnel with 
        critical skills

    The committee recognizes that the ability to effectively 
compete with and deter adversaries in the cyber domain is 
essential to protecting American institutions, the privacy and 
data of American citizens, and U.S. critical infrastructure. 
However, the committee has heard concerns that the Department 
of Defense continues to struggle to offer sufficient 
compensation and benefits to military cyber personnel to retain 
them in a competitive recruiting environment with the private 
sector.
    The committee therefore encourages the Department to 
leverage its authorities under section 355 of title 37, United 
States Code, to offer special and incentive pays to recruit and 
retain those military cyber personnel with critical skills in 
the cyber domain.

                   TITLE VII--HEALTH CARE PROVISIONS

           Subtitle A--Tricare and Other Health Care Benefits


Improvements to the TRICARE Dental Program (sec. 701)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 1076a of title 10, United States Code, to authorize 
improvements to the TRICARE Dental Program. The provision would 
require management of administrative functions, such as 
enrollment, eligibility, and premium payment processes by a 
third party administrator. Eligible beneficiaries would have 
three enrollment options in dental insurance plans offered by 
not less than four national dental insurance carriers who would 
manage dental care delivery matters, including claims 
adjudication, coordination of benefits, covered services, 
enrollment verification, and provider networks. Beneficiaries 
could enroll in either a standard or high option plan, and, 
where available, could enroll in a dental health maintenance 
option plan. The Department of Defense (DOD) would pay 60 
percent of the cost of the standard option plan for each 
enrollment category. For high option plans, the DOD would pay 
60 percent of the amount of the premium for a standard option 
plan, and enrollees would pay the remaining additional premium 
amount for the high option plan. Finally, enlisted members in 
pay grades E-1 through E-4 would pay reduced premiums and co-
payments. The effective date of this provision would be January 
1, 2025.

Health benefits for members of the National Guard following required 
        training or other duty to respond to a national emergency (sec. 
        702)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 1145(a)(2) of title 10, United States Code, to 
authorize transitional health care benefits to a member of the 
National Guard who is separated from full-time duty when called 
or ordered by the President or the Secretary of Defense under 
section 502(f) of title 32, United States Code, for a period of 
active service greater than 30 days, in response to a national 
emergency declaration and supported by Federal funds.

Confidentiality requirements for mental health care services for 
        members of the Armed Forces (sec. 703)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to update and reissue Department of 
Defense Instruction 6490.08, entitled ``Command Notification 
Requirements to Dispel Stigma in Providing Mental Health Care 
to Service Members,'' dated August 17, 2011, to reinforce the 
policies of eliminating stigma in obtaining mental health care 
services and further encouraging help-seeking behavior by 
members of the Armed Forces. The provision would also require 
the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs 
to issue a joint policy that would provide, except in the case 
of exigent circumstances, for confidentiality of mental health 
care services provided by the Department of Veterans Affairs to 
members of the Armed Forces, including members of reserve 
components.

Improvement of referrals for specialty care under TRICARE Prime during 
        permanent changes of station (sec. 704)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 714 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) to 
improve the medical referral process such that beneficiaries 
enrolled in TRICARE Prime shall receive referrals for specialty 
care services, as they may need, at the gaining location when 
making permanent change of station moves. The provision would 
require the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, on the contractual and technical 
barriers preventing record sharing between civilian provider 
networks of the TRICARE Program that may lead to increased wait 
times for health care services when beneficiaries move from one 
TRICARE region to another.

Study on providing benefits under TRICARE Reserve Select and TRICARE 
        dental program to members of the Selected Reserve and their 
        dependents (sec. 705)

    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the Secretary of Defense to conduct a study on the feasibility, 
potential cost effects to the Department of Defense, changes in 
out-of-pocket costs to beneficiaries, and effects on other 
Federal programs of expanding eligibility for TRICARE Reserve 
Select and the TRICARE Dental Program to all members of the 
Selected Reserve, their dependents, and non-dependent children 
under the age of 26. The provision would include the 
specifications of the study, if conducted, and would authorize 
the Secretary to use a federally funded research and 
development center to conduct the study. Additionally, if the 
Secretary conducts the study, the provision would require the 
Secretary to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not 
later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
on the methodology and approach of the study. The Secretary 
would then submit a report on the study results to the same 
committees not later than 2 years after the date of the 
enactment of this Act.

                 Subtitle B--Health Care Administration


Improvements to organization of military health system (sec. 721)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a report on a study by the 
Department of Defense on the feasibility of and requirements 
for establishment of a defense health and medical readiness 
command as a superseding organization to the Defense Health 
Agency. The Secretary would be required to submit the report to 
the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives not later than 180 days of the date of the 
enactment of this Act.
    In addition, this provision would require the Secretary to 
submit a plan to the same committees within the same time frame 
to establish within the Defense Health Agency a subordinate 
organization, the Military Health System Education and Training 
Directorate. The Secretary would be required to establish such 
directorate within 1 year after submission of the plan to the 
committees.

Inclusion of level three trauma care capabilities in requirements for 
        medical centers (sec. 722)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 1073d(b)(3) of title 10, United States Code, to include 
level three trauma care capabilities in the requirements for 
medical centers in the Department of Defense.

Extension of Accountable Care Organization demonstration and annual 
        report requirement (sec. 723)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense, acting through the Director of the 
Defense Health Agency, to extend the duration of the 
Accountable Care Organization demonstration, conducted pursuant 
to Federal Register notice published on August 16, 2019 (84 
Fed. Reg. 41974), through December 31, 2028. The provision 
would require the Secretary to submit a report to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than March 1 of each year, that 
describes the conduct of the demonstration for the 1-year 
period preceding the date of the report. The provision would 
describe the required elements of the report.

Modification of requirement to transfer public health functions to 
        Defense Health Agency (sec. 724)

    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize a 
military department, upon a determination made by the Secretary 
of Defense, to retain until September 30, 2023, a public health 
function that would otherwise be transferred to become part of 
the Defense Health Agency Public Health. The provision would 
require the Secretary 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 those public health functions 
that the Secretary has determined may be retained by a military 
department. Finally, the provision would amend section 
1073c(e)(2)(B) of title 10, United States Code, to modify the 
names of public health commands of certain military 
departments.

Establishment of Military Health System Medical Logistics Directorate 
        (sec. 725)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to submit to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not 
later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this 
Act, a plan to establish within the Defense Health Agency a 
subordinate organization, the Military Health System Medical 
Logistics Directorate. The provision would prescribe the 
elements of such plan and require the Secretary to establish 
the directorate within 1 year after submission of the plan to 
the committees.
    The committee expresses concern about the existing 
disjointed approach to the planning, procurement, storage, 
utilization, standardization, and synchronization of 
operational theater medical equipment and supplies across the 
military health system. The committee has learned that the 
military departments procure theater medical equipment and 
supplies independently with insufficient standardization, 
commonality, and interoperability. The current approach can 
result in medical personnel being unfamiliar with certain types 
of medical equipment and supplies while treating casualties in 
a joint operational theater. It can also lead to equipment or 
supplies being incompatible during the casualty evacuation 
process. Ultimately, the approach can increase the risk of poor 
outcomes for wounded, ill, and injured servicemembers. The 
committee believes this provision would standardize the 
procurement of medical materiel used in garrison and in theater 
medical operations, improve clinical outcomes, reduce the costs 
to train medical personnel on multiple equipment sets, and 
reduce the cost to maintain medical materiel.

Establishment of centers of excellence for specialty care in the 
        military health system (sec. 726)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to establish regional centers of 
excellence (COEs) for the provision of specialty care at 
existing major medical centers of the Department of Defense. 
The Department would establish COEs to: (1) Ensure readiness of 
the military medical force and medical readiness of the Armed 
Forces; (2) Improve the quality of health care received by 
covered beneficiaries of the Department; and (3) Improve health 
outcomes. The provision would require establishment of such 
centers within 1 year of the date of the enactment of this Act.

Requirement to establish Academic Health System (sec. 727)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 2113b(a) of title 10, United States Code, to require 
the Secretary of Defense to establish an academic health system 
in the National Capital Region to integrate the health care, 
health professions education, and health research activities of 
the military health system in that region.

Adherence to policies relating to mild traumatic brain injury and post-
        traumatic stress disorder (sec. 728)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to direct the Secretaries of the Navy and 
the Air Force to address inconsistencies among the policies of 
the Department of Defense (DOD), the Department of the Navy, 
and the Department of the Air Force relating to the training of 
servicemembers on the identification of symptoms of mild 
traumatic brain injury (TBI) and to ensure that each Secretary 
monitors adherence to DOD's policies relating to TBI and post-
traumatic stress disorder.

Policy on accountability for wounded warriors undergoing disability 
        evaluation (sec. 729)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense, not later than April 1, 2023, to 
establish policy to ensure accountability for actions taken 
under the authorities of the Defense Health Agency and the 
military departments concerning wounded, ill, and injured 
servicemembers during the integrated disability evaluation 
process.

                 Subtitle C--Reports and Other Matters


Three-year extension of authority to continue DOD-VA Health Care 
        Sharing Incentive Fund (sec. 741)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 8111(d)(3) of title 38, United States Code, to provide 
a 3-year extension of the authority to continue the Department 
of Defense-Veterans Affairs health care sharing incentive fund.

Extension of authority for Joint Department of Defense--Department of 
        Veterans Affairs Medical Facility Demonstration Fund (sec. 742)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 1704(e) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84), as most recently amended 
by section 715 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81), to extend the authority 
for the Joint Department of Defense-Department of Veterans 
Affairs Medical Facility Demonstration Fund from September 30, 
2023, to September 30, 2024.

Authorization of permanent program to improve opioid management in the 
        military health system (sec. 743)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 716 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) to 
authorize the Director of the Defense Health Agency to 
implement a permanent program to improve opioid management 
instead of a pilot program. The provision would require the 
Director to submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives the specifications of 
and reasons for implementing a permanent program.

Clarification of membership requirements and compensation authority for 
        Independent Suicide Prevention and Response Review Committee 
        (sec. 744)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 738 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81) to add a subsection that 
would provide for compensation of the members of the 
Independent Suicide Prevention and Response Review Committee.

Termination of veterans' advisory board on radiation dose 
        reconstruction (sec. 745)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 601 of the Veterans Benefit Act of 2003 (Public Law 
108-183) to terminate the Veterans' Advisory Board on Dose 
Reconstruction as this board has achieved its statutory 
objectives.

Scholarship-for-service pilot program for civilian behavioral health 
        providers (sec. 746)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to carry out a 10-year pilot program that 
could provide scholarships to cover tuition and related fees to 
an individual enrolled in a graduate program leading to a 
degree in clinical psychology, social work, counseling, or a 
related field. The program could also offer student loan 
repayment assistance to a credentialed provider in such fields. 
In exchange for a scholarship or loan repayment assistance, a 
recipient would commit to work as a provider in the direct care 
component of the military health system. The provision would 
describe post-employment obligations for recipients, including 
repayment of assistance if an employment obligation is not 
fulfilled. The Secretary would be required to submit an 
implementation plan to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives not later than 1 year 
after the date of the enactment of this Act. Finally, the 
Secretary would be required to submit three reports to the same 
committees during the 10-year period of the pilot program that 
would provide certain data about the program.

Expansion of extramedical maternal health providers demonstration 
        project to include members of the Armed Forces on active duty 
        and other individuals receiving care at military medical 
        treatment facilities (sec. 747)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 746 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283) to 
expand eligibility for the extramedical maternal health 
providers demonstration project to include Active-Duty 
servicemembers and other individuals receiving care at military 
medical treatment facilities.

        delivery of health and medical care through use of other 
        transaction authority (sec. 748)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 1092(b) of title 10, United States Code, to authorize 
the conduct of studies and demonstration projects relating to 
the delivery of health and medical care through the use of 
other transaction authority. The provision would require the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing, not later than 180 
days after the date of the enactment of this Act, to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on how the Secretary intends to use this other 
transaction authority.

Capability assessment and action plan with respect to effects of 
        exposure to open burn pits and other environmental hazards 
        (sec. 749)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense, not later than 180 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, to conduct a capability assessment 
of potential improvements to activities of the Department of 
Defense to reduce the effects of environmental exposures to 
servicemembers and to develop an action plan to implement such 
improvements. The Secretary would be required to submit a 
report and action plan to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and the House of Representatives not later than 240 
days after the date of the enactment of this Act.

Independent analysis of Department of Defense Comprehensive Autism Care 
        Demonstration program (sec. 750)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 737 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81) to make technical and 
clarifying changes to such section and to extend the reporting 
deadline from 9 to 31 months to afford the National Academies 
of Science, Engineering, and Medicine sufficient time to 
conduct a thorough study and to provide the required report.

Report on suicide prevention reforms for members of the Armed Forces 
        (sec. 751)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to submit to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not 
later than March 1, 2023, a report on the feasibility and 
advisability of implementing certain reforms related to suicide 
prevention among members of the Armed Forces.

Report on behavioral health workforce and plan to address shortfalls in 
        providers (sec. 752)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to conduct an analysis of the behavioral 
health workforce in the direct care component of the military 
health system and to submit a report to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives not 
later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this 
Act. The provision would also require the Secretary to submit a 
plan to the same committees, not later than 1 year after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, that would address the 
Department of Defense's behavioral health workforce shortfalls.

                       Items of Special Interest


Access to care in military medical treatment facilities

    A report from the Inspector General of the Department of 
Defense (DOD) titled, ``Evaluation of Access to Mental Health 
Care in the Department of Defense--August 2020,'' indicated 
that certain access to care data were unavailable at three 
military medical treatment facilities (MTFs) due to reporting 
limitations of the DOD's new electronic health record, MHS 
Genesis. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense, acting through the Director of the Defense Health 
Agency, to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not 
later than December 31, 2022, on the plan of the DOD to measure 
beneficiary access to care at MTFs utilizing data from MHS 
Genesis. The plan shall also describe how the Department will 
publish near real-time access to care performance data on 
publicly available web sites of MTFs.

Allocation of uniformed mental health providers at remote locations

    The committee is concerned about the availability of mental 
health services at military medical treatment facilities (MTFs) 
in remote locations, such as Fort Wainwright, Alaska, and Minot 
Air Force Base, North Dakota. The committee acknowledges 
existing challenges to recruiting and retaining uniformed 
mental health providers to serve in MTFs and to hire civilian 
providers when they are scarce and in high demand in remote 
communities.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
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 a model developed by the military departments 
and the Director of the Defense Health Agency (DHA) to 
determine requirements for allocations of uniformed mental 
health providers in MTFs. The briefing shall include a plan by 
such departments and the DHA to jointly allocate additional 
uniformed mental health providers to MTFs in remote locations 
and an assessment of the feasibility of hiring civilian mental 
health providers at remote locations to augment mental health 
services provided by uniformed mental health care providers.

Anomalous health incidents victim care

    The committee notes the profound impact caused by anomalous 
health incidents (AHIs) on U.S. Government personnel and their 
dependents. In some cases, these incidents have resulted in 
life-altering and debilitating injuries for the victims. The 
long-term impacts on victims, including child dependents in 
particular, remain uncertain and more investigation is required 
to ascertain the full extent of these injuries. The committee 
strongly supports efforts by the Department of Defense to treat 
U.S. Government personnel, regardless of their originating 
agency, and dependent victims. However, the committee remains 
concerned with delays in communication with victims, including 
victim case management. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Director of the Defense Health Agency to provide a briefing to 
the committee, not later than December 1, 2022, on staffing and 
resourcing levels in the military health system (MHS) for AHI 
victim assessment and treatment, including efforts to establish 
victim case managers, reduce patient wait times for treatment, 
provide referral support when requested by patients, and 
improve appointment scheduling to facilitate a less onerous 
process for victims.
    Additionally, the committee notes that section 732 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public 
Law 117-81) required the development of a special secretarial 
designation process to provide for the treatment of relevant 
Federal agency employees and their family members within the 
MHS. The secretarial designation process has been an invaluable 
resource to provide care for victims not affiliated with the 
Department of Defense (DOD). However, the committee is 
concerned that the process has proven to be uneven at times, 
with some victims waiting many months due to bureaucratic 
obstacles. The provision also required that the DOD modify the 
Trauma Registry to include information on AHI victims, 
including their family members. Given the uncertainty of the 
long-term impacts on AHI victims, the committee believes it is 
essential that the DOD comprehensively record relevant AHI 
victim information for the purposes of determining eligibility 
for care and benefits, providing for a longitudinal record of 
health conditions, and informing improvement of care, among 
other reasons. Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller 
General of the United States to conduct a review of the DOD's 
compliance with section 732 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022. At a minimum, the 
review shall include:
          (1) An assessment of the secretarial designation 
        process, with a particular focus on process efficiency;
          (2) An assessment of the effectiveness of the Trauma 
        Registry as a data collection and tracking tool with a 
        comparison of any other similar systems extant in the 
        MHS;
          (3) Recommendations to improve victim wait times 
        through the secretarial designation process and 
        enhancements for the recordation of AHI victims in the 
        Trauma Registry; and
          (4) Any other matters deemed relevant by the 
        Comptroller General.

Appreciation for Department of Defense contributions to COVID-19 
        response

    The committee reiterates its appreciation for the efforts 
by the Department of Defense (DOD) as part of the COVID-19 
response, including the support provided to the Countermeasures 
Acceleration Group (CAG), formerly known as Operation Warp 
Speed; the leadership of General Gustave F. Perna, who provided 
critical management of the program, and his staff; the U.S. 
Army Contracting Command and the Joint Program Office for 
Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense.
    The committee notes that the Department transitioned its 
vaccine program responsibilities to the Department of Health 
and Human Services (HHS) in late 2021. The committee directs 
the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
committee, not later than December 1, 2022, on the transition 
of its vaccine program responsibilities to the HHS, and the 
capabilities that it could bring to bear to support the 
development, production, and distribution of updated vaccines 
in the future.

Brain plasticity research

    The committee commends the Department of Defense (DOD) for 
its continued research and development activities related to 
treating central nervous system (CNS) injuries sustained by 
servicemembers during combat and to the long-term results of 
injury that may manifest as neurodegenerative diseases. The 
committee is aware of recent advances in the development of 
therapeutics designed to repair nervous system damage and to 
promote brain plasticity that have shown promise for recovery 
from traumatic brain injury (TBI), spinal cord injury (SCI), 
and associated neurodegenerative conditions.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Director of the 
Defense Health Agency, in coordination with the Assistant 
Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs, to provide a briefing, 
not later than March 1, 2023, to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on the 
Department's investments in the development of therapeutics to 
promote brain plasticity following TBI, SCI, and other nervous 
system disorders. The briefing shall include, at a minimum, the 
following: (1) An assessment of existing and planned 
investments in TBI and CNS therapeutics and their applicability 
in promoting brain plasticity; (2) A strategy that incorporates 
research, development, procurement, and required regulatory 
partnerships to expedite delivery of TBI and CNS therapeutics 
supportive of brain plasticity that can enhance warfighter 
health and recovery following injury; and (3) Recommendations 
for changes to DOD policy or procedures that may be needed to 
support the delivery of TBI and CNS therapeutics that promote 
brain plasticity.

Broad spectrum host-directed small molecule antivirals

    The committee remains concerned that there has been 
insufficient focus on the development of antivirals as a 
medical countermeasure. The COVID-19 pandemic and emerging 
diseases such as the Ebola and avian flu outbreaks have 
highlighted the importance of the rapid development of small 
molecule broad-spectrum antivirals that can treat a myriad of 
infectious diseases. Therefore, the committee encourages the 
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs to prioritize 
and fund the advanced development of such antivirals to address 
the national security and public health threats of emerging 
diseases.

Broad-spectrum antibody therapeutics

    The committee notes that the recent challenges in medical 
response and mitigation to the COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated 
the critical need for rapid response platforms capable of 
discovery, development, manufacturing, and deployment of broad-
spectrum therapeutic countermeasures. The committee is aware 
that the need to respond rapidly, in an uncertain clinical 
environment to a diverse population, drives a necessity to 
invest in board-spectrum medical countermeasures to ensure 
having the right tool at the right time. The committee notes 
that monoclonal antibodies can serve as an important complement 
to vaccines or antiviral treatments, and thus can serve an 
important role in the Department of Defense's mission to 
protect deployed forces and warfighter capabilities. Based on 
the growing value of monoclonal antibody research, the 
committee encourages the Department to continue to explore 
research to enhance monoclonal antibody discovery, research, 
and development programs in order to rapidly respond to 
emerging and re-emerging pathogens.

Comptroller General review of the quality of care in TRICARE provider 
        networks

    The committee recognizes the importance of the quality and 
safety of care provided to TRICARE beneficiaries in both the 
direct care system of military medical treatment facilities 
(MTFs) as well as the private care system of civilian provider 
networks developed by managed care support contractors. As in 
all health care delivery settings, concerns may arise about the 
quality and safety of care delivered by individual health care 
providers. On December 15, 2011, the Government Accountability 
Office (GAO) published a report, titled ``DOD Health Care: 
Actions Needed to Help Ensure Full Compliance and Complete 
Documentation for Physician Credentialing and Privileging'' 
(GAO-12-31), which reported a number of concerns about MTFs' 
provider credentialing and privileging process, which is used 
to ensure that a provider is qualified and competent to be 
granted permission to perform specific health care services. 
GAO continues to review this issue for the direct care system 
in light of the Defense Health Agency's (DHA) recent policy on 
clinical quality that includes credentialing and privileging, 
among other processes. Similarly, TRICARE contractors are 
required to meet certain quality standards for the civilian 
provider networks that also include ensuring that providers 
have appropriate credentials and privileges for the care they 
provide.
    To ensure the quality of care provided in TRICARE's 
civilian provider networks, the committee directs the 
Comptroller General of the United States to conduct an 
assessment of the effectiveness of the quality assurance 
program of TRICARE provider networks with respect to the 
contracting of civilian medical providers in the network and 
the recording of adverse privileging and credentialing actions 
of civilian medical providers. 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 July 1, 2023, and to issue a 
report to follow at a time agreed to subsequent to the 
briefing. This review should include an evaluation of the 
contract requirements related to the credentialing and 
privileging of TRICARE network providers, how the contractors 
implement those requirements, and how the DHA provides 
oversight, as well as any other matters the Comptroller General 
deems relevant.

Developmental and Behavioral Family Readiness Centers

    The committee notes the challenges that servicemembers with 
exceptional family members experience in assignments impacted 
by access to appropriate health care for their family members, 
especially while serving in remote locations with limited 
health care capabilities. The committee understands that the 
Air Force Developmental and Behavioral Family Readiness 
Centers' (DBFRC) hub-spoke model can support up to 10 such 
locations with a 10-person team by leveraging virtual 
healthcare, tele-consultation, or providers traveling to the 
spoke bases. This initiative has already demonstrated a 
decrease in medical appointment wait times, improved health 
outcomes, and allowed more military families in the Exceptional 
Family Member Program to transfer to locations that best 
support the mission.
    The committee expects the Defense Health Agency (DHA) to 
support the DBFRC to full operational capability at the 
identified nine hub and spoke locations. Furthermore, the 
committee directs the Director of the DHA and Air Force Surgeon 
General to develop joint criteria to evaluate the program after 
full operational capability with a goal to expand it throughout 
the entire military health system (MHS) to support EFMP across 
all military departments. The committee directs the Director 
and the Surgeon General to provide a joint briefing to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives, not later than February 1, 2023, on the status 
of DBFRC implementation that includes a description of the 
criteria developed to evaluate the program as it expands 
throughout the MHS.

Greater use of technology to treat mental health

    The committee remains supportive of the Department of 
Defense's (DOD) use of telehealth across state lines to deliver 
mental and behavioral health services to servicemembers. 
However, the committee notes that these services could be 
expanded and scaled to include more forms of technology, 
including text messaging platforms, such as short messaging 
service or WhatsApp, smartphone apps, and other technological 
tools and interfaces to reach young adults who are more 
comfortable interfacing with technology than an in-person 
mental health provider. Therefore, the committee requests that 
the Director of the Defense Health Agency, not later than April 
1, 2023, assess the utility of current self-help apps and 
provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives on the feasibility of: 
(1) Expanding the DOD's use of technology platforms to deliver 
mental and behavioral health services, especially to young 
servicemembers; and (2) Incentivizing commercial startup 
companies to develop digital therapies, such as apps to build 
resilience or reduce suicidal ideation, that demonstrate 
quality evidence for the safety and clinical benefit of the 
product in real-world clinical settings.

Implementation report on self-initiated mental health referrals

    The committee included improvements to the Department of 
Defense self-initiated referral process for mental health 
evaluations of members of the Armed Forces in the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-
81). To enable oversight of the implementation of these 
modifications, the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and 
Readiness shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than 
March 1, 2023, a report on the implementation of the self-
initiated referral process required under section 1090a(e) of 
title 10, United States Code. The report shall include: (1) Any 
Department of Defense instruction or other document issued by 
the Secretary of Defense with respect to the implementation of 
the self-initiated referral process required under subsection 
(e) of section 1090a of title 10, United States Code; (2) Any 
memorandum issued by the Secretary of a military department 
directing the implementation of such process; (3) A description 
of any communications made to members of the Armed Forces with 
respect to the implementation of such process; (4) A 
description of efforts by the Secretary of each military 
department to implement the annual training required under 
subsection (f) of such section; and (5) A description of 
efforts to ensure that such process reduces stigma in 
accordance with subsection (b) of such section.

Intranasal ketamine for battlefield analgesia

    The Senate report accompanying S. 2792 (S. Rept. 117-39) of 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022, 
included a recommendation that the Department of Defense (DOD) 
conduct pre-clinical testing and clinical trials of intranasal 
ketamine such that the results may be used to facilitate Food 
and Drug Administration (FDA) approval of intranasal ketamine 
for acute pain management. The committee understands that the 
DOD's medical research and development program is focused on 
adding a label indication for treatment of acute pain with 
ketamine and to explore routes of administration to manage pain 
on the battlefield. To better understand the DOD's intent for 
future ketamine research, the committee directs the Secretary 
of Defense to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not 
later than December 31, 2022, on its current and future 
research efforts, and the results of such efforts, regarding 
the potential use of ketamine for acute pain management.

Medical accession standards and mental health diagnoses

    The committee understands that a mental health diagnosis 
generally requires a medical waiver for a potential recruit to 
enter military service even though serving servicemembers 
diagnosed with such conditions may continue to serve while 
undergoing therapy and treatment. Given the recruitment 
challenges that the military departments face now and in the 
future, the committee expresses concern that the Department of 
Defense's (DOD) medical accession standards policy pertaining 
to pre-existing mental health conditions of potential recruits 
further shrinks the number of young people eligible for 
military service.
    Therefore, not later than December 31, 2022, the Secretary 
of Defense, in collaboration with the Secretaries of the 
military departments, shall provide a briefing to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives on the policies and procedures that the 
military departments use to evaluate pre-existing mental health 
diagnoses in their recruitment process. Specifically, the 
briefing shall compare and contrast how the DOD considers 
diagnosed mental health conditions for the accession of 
military recruits and for retention of currently serving 
servicemembers. The briefing shall also include a discussion 
regarding how the DOD could change existing medical accession 
standards to broaden the pool of eligible recruits who may have 
experienced a mental health condition.

National Disaster Medical System pilot program

    Section 740 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92), as amended by section 741 
of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283), 
directed a pilot program to establish civilian and military 
partnerships to enhance interoperability and medical surge 
capability and capacity of the National Disaster Medical 
System. The committee is disappointed that funding was not 
included in the budget request for fiscal year 2023 for such 
partnerships. As a result, the committee encourages the 
Secretary of Defense to include funding for the pilot program 
in the budget request for fiscal year 2024.

Obstetrical care referrals

    After a primary care physician in the TRICARE network 
refers a beneficiary for specialty medical care, the military 
health system's (MHS) right-of-first-refusal (ROFR) policy 
gives a military medical treatment facility (MTF) the right to 
provide specialty care to TRICARE Prime beneficiaries when 
available at the facility. While this policy helps to ensure 
more efficient and effective use of the full scope of medical 
services at MTFs, it can lead to a disruption of care and 
beneficiary dissatisfaction.
    The committee is aware of challenges faced by certain 
TRICARE beneficiaries who were disengaged from obstetrical care 
in the TRICARE civilian provider network as late as their third 
trimester of pregnancy because of the ROFR policy. The 
committee believes that this policy and practice unnecessarily 
disrupts a beneficiary's continuity of care at a critical time 
during a pregnancy. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Director of the Defense Health Agency to revise the ROFR policy 
to prevent late-stage referrals to MTFs during the course of a 
beneficiary's pre-natal obstetrical care.

Parent stress measures under Department of Defense Comprehensive Autism 
        Care Demonstration Program

    The committee has heard objections from parents of children 
receiving services under the Department of Defense 
Comprehensive Autism Care Demonstration (ACD) Program regarding 
an intrusive question concerning parental intimate 
relationships included as part of the Stress Index for Parents 
of Adolescents. Especially in the context of stress on military 
families in general, and those with special needs children in 
particular, the committee recognizes the value of clinically 
appropriate methods to understand and address issues of family 
stress, both for individual families and for the TRICARE 
program in the aggregate. While the stress testing is 
completely confidential, certain privacy boundaries are still 
appropriate, and overly intrusive questions seem 
counterproductive to the ACD's clinical objectives. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Defense Health Agency to: (1) Re-
evaluate the stress testing used in the ACD and determine if 
other validated tests or surveys may better gauge family 
stress; (2) Modify or eliminate overly intrusive questions in 
the current test or any subsequent test; and (3) Ensure that 
parents understand that they are not required to answer 
objectionable questions.

Psychological evaluations for members of the Armed Services returning 
        from non-combatant evacuation operations

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to encourage 
servicemembers to seek an initial psychological evaluation if 
they have served as part of a non-combatant evacuation 
operation (NEO) in Central Asia, between August 15, and August 
29, 2021, and have not already received a NEO-related 
psychological evaluation with respect to such service.

Severe fracture research

    The committee is aware of emerging research and techniques 
to mitigate post-operative infections in persons who suffer 
severe fractures. Within certain military occupational 
specialties, the potential to suffer a severe fracture is high. 
Special operations, airborne operations, air assault 
operations, military freefall operations, and mountain warfare 
operations are all environments where servicemembers may suffer 
such fractures. The committee understands that prevention of 
post-operative infections from severe fractures is a critical 
factor in determining whether a servicemember can fully recover 
and return to duty, and it has shared benefits for military 
healthcare system resource allocation, force preservation, and 
long-term disability expenditures. Therefore, the committee 
encourages the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health 
Affairs to develop a plan to utilize emerging research and 
techniques to help prevent post-operative infections in 
servicemembers who suffer severe fractures.

Smallpox vaccine

    The committee recognizes the devastating impact that 
biological threats, whether naturally occurring or deliberate, 
can have on U.S. national security, as evidenced by the COVID-
19 pandemic. The committee is aware that the Department of 
Defense paused the pre-deployment administration of the 
ACAM2000 smallpox vaccine due to concerns about adverse events, 
including but not limited to myocarditis, that could 
potentially increase the risk of morbidity and mortality in 
those vaccine recipients who are proximately infected with 
SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes the COVID-19 disease.
    In light of the heightened concern of potential adversaries 
deploying deliberate biological threats, the committee is 
concerned that the pause of smallpox vaccination poses 
significant force health protection implications. The committee 
understands that the Food and Drug Administration has recently 
licensed a new smallpox vaccine that does not pose the same 
safety concerns associated with ACAM2000. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Department of Defense to accelerate 
procurement and administration of smallpox vaccines that have a 
more favorable safety profile than ACAM2000 to ensure forces at 
risk of biological agent exposure are able to be vaccinated.

Suicide prevention initiatives

    The committee commends the Air Force Medical Service for 
its efforts to optimize use of limited, in-demand mental health 
providers via its ``Targeted Care'' initiative. The committee 
encourages the Air Force to collaborate with the Defense Health 
Agency (DHA) and to share lessons learned from this initiative 
across the military health care system. Furthermore, the 
committee notes the compelling results of the Air Force-
supported Zero Suicide Systems Approach research study. In 
particular, the study demonstrated the value that a universal 
screening protocol together with case management and 
administrative support can make to proactively manage mental 
health care.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Director of the DHA 
and the Surgeons General of the military departments to develop 
a 3-year phased roll-out and standardized training plan to 
implement these initiatives across the military health system 
(MHS) not later than December 31, 2023. The Director and the 
Surgeons General shall provide a joint briefing to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives by April 1, 2023, that describes how such 
initiatives shall be implemented throughout the MHS.

Task Force True North

    The committee is encouraged by the success of the Air 
Force's Task Force True North (TFTN) program and the steps that 
the Air Force and the Defense Health Agency are taking to 
increase the number of mental health professionals, including 
licensed professional counselors, that can be employed in 
military medical treatment facilities and in programs like 
TFTN. The committee remains concerned, however, that the 
Nation-wide shortage of mental health professionals limits the 
degree to which the Department of Defense can provide 
servicemembers with better access to mental health care 
services. The committee encourages the Defense Health Agency to 
work with Department of the Air Force installations, including 
those with embedded TFTN programs, State governments, and 
accreditation boards to enable licensed master social workers 
to enter a TFTN program and complete clinical licensure 
requirements under the supervision of a licensed clinical 
social worker.

Tri-Service Nursing Research Program

    The Tri-Service Nursing Research Program (TSNRP) has 
advanced the science and research of military nursing to 
support mission readiness, to improve the health and quality of 
life of military personnel and beneficiaries, and to provide 
high-caliber nursing care around the globe.
    The committee strongly urges the Secretary of Defense to 
establish the TSNRP as an independent program with a dedicated 
budget line so it may continue its work creating a culture of 
evidence-based nursing practice within the military health 
system.

Vector-borne bio- and xeno-surveillance

    The committee understands the importance of establishing 
and maintaining Department of Defense (DOD) bio- and xeno-
surveillance capabilities to detect, identify, and respond to 
emerging pathogens and bio-threats requiring medical 
countermeasures critical to force medical readiness. A wide 
range of bio- and xeno-surveillance activities by the DOD 
exist, and the committee encourages Department-wide 
coordination of this ongoing work. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives by December 1, 2022, detailing ongoing and 
planned bio- and xeno-surveillance programs involving vector-
borne and zoonotic infectious diseases. The briefing shall 
include the following: (1) A review of DOD vector-borne and 
zoonotic pathogen surveillance activities and their locations; 
(2) An assessment of the complementary nature of these 
activities, including any redundant programs; (3) An assessment 
of vector-borne and zoonotic pathogen data repositories and 
associated risk prediction capabilities; (4) A plan identifying 
governance and coordination of vector-borne and zoonotic 
surveillance activities across the Department in accordance 
with DOD Directive 6420.02; and (5) The identification of any 
bio- and xeno-surveillance capability gaps, research and 
development requirements, or needed expansion of the 
Department's work to provide better force health protection 
support.

Walter Reed National Military Medical Center personnel shortfalls

    The committee strongly believes that the Walter Reed 
National Military Medical Center (WRNMMC) must be a world-class 
medical center fully staffed and prepared to provide first-
class combat casualty medical care to wounded, injured, and ill 
servicemembers and their families as envisioned by the 2005 
Defense Base Closure and Realignment Commission. The committee 
is disappointed in the declining numbers of military healthcare 
professionals that the military departments have assigned to 
the WRNMMC and the resulting negative impact on its operations.
    To address this, 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 March 1, 2023: (1) Documenting the military, 
civilian, and contract staffing by occupational specialty at 
the WRNMMC as of December 31, 2022; (2) Providing a current, 
valid joint manning document for WRNMMC that ensures its 
enduring status as a world-class medical center; and (3) 
Identifying any personnel shortfalls and submitting a plan to 
address these shortfalls.

Wound healing technology

    The committee commends the Department of Defense (DOD) for 
its continued research and development activities related to 
treating injuries sustained by servicemembers in austere 
environments. The committee understands the importance of 
providing life-saving 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 anticipated in future 
combat operations, the committee is concerned about the 
potential obsolescence of existing negative pressure wound 
therapy devices.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Health Affairs to provide a briefing, not later 
than March 1, 2023, to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives on the Department's 
plans for continued use of negative pressure wound therapy in 
managing combat-related wounds. At a minimum, the briefing 
shall include: (1) A review of existing negative pressure wound 
therapy devices currently used within the DOD that includes an 
assessment of their utility in supporting wound treatment in 
future combat operations; (2) A plan that outlines 
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 of next 
generation negative pressure wound therapy devices for use in 
combat operations.

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

             Subtitle A--Acquisition Policy and Management

Modifications to middle tier acquisition authority (sec. 801)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
component acquisition executives to approve an acquisition plan 
within 1 year of a program being designated as either a rapid 
prototyping or rapid fielding program for middle tier of 
acquisition (MTA) programs.
    The committee is supportive of using the MTA pathway to 
rapidly develop and deploy innovative technologies and 
capabilities to operational units. However, the committee is 
concerned that the desire for speed in these programs could 
lead to the omission of key elements of good program 
management. Therefore, the committee believes that MTA programs 
and the associated stakeholders would benefit from a clear 
transition plan, life-cycle cost estimate, and test plan.
Extension of Defense Modernization Account authority (sec. 802)
    The committee recommends a provision that would permanently 
extend the authority for the Defense Modernization Account.
Prohibition on certain procurements of major defense acquisition 
        programs (sec. 803)
    The committee recommends a provision that would prohibit 
the procurement of items used in major defense acquisition 
programs made in, or by companies controlled by, China.
    The committee is concerned about the susceptibility of 
Department of Defense acquisition program supply chains to a 
range of malign activities that have been and continue to be 
perpetrated by foreign actors. The committee believes that one 
key vulnerability is the sourcing of certain materials and 
components from China. The Department's continued reliance on 
such items poses unacceptable risks to U.S. national security. 
In addition, the committee recognizes that, for any significant 
supply chain adjustment, a transition period is necessary to 
minimize disruption.
    Accordingly, this provision would require the Secretary of 
Defense to transition the sourcing of items used in the 
Department's major defense acquisition programs to sources 
other than those controlled by China with a one-time waiver to 
minimize disruption during such transition.
Revision of authority for procedures to allow rapid acquisition and 
        deployment of capabilities needed under specified high-priority 
        circumstances (sec. 804)
    The committee recommends a provision that would resolve 
inconsistencies and codify rapid acquisition authorities from 
section 806 of the Bob Stump National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-314) and section 804 of 
the Ike Skelton National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2011 (Public Law 111-383).
Acquisition reporting system (sec. 805)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to institute an acquisition reporting 
system to replace Selected Acquisition Reports (SARs). The 
Department of Defense (DOD) should use this system to make 
access to acquisition information available to authorized users 
at least quarterly.
    The committee is aware that advances within the Department 
to link existing and future information technology systems, 
coupled with advanced analytic and visualization tools, provide 
an opportunity to improve the speed and quality of information 
available to decision makers. While the SARs served a need for 
congressional oversight and over time provided critical data to 
parts of the Department, academia, and others to support 
processes well beyond oversight, the committee is concerned the 
relatively static and inflexible nature of the SARs process is 
outdated and out of sync with modern business processes.
    The committee encourages the Department, in structuring the 
processes and data linkages for the required acquisition 
reporting system, to take a broad perspective on how to create 
a system architecture to ensure that it not only meets certain 
congressional oversight needs, but also considers the 
Department's own decision making data needs and enduring 
longitudinal data requirements to ensure the system has the 
broadest applicability and impact.
    The committee also directs the Comptroller General of the 
United States to assess the DOD's efforts to replace Selected 
Acquisition Reports including: (1) An analysis of the Director 
of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation plan for including 
specific data elements in the replacement reporting system 
directed by section 805 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81); (2) An analysis 
of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
Sustainment plan for developing a replacement acquisition 
reporting system directed by section 805 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022; (3) An 
assessment of whether the DOD's plans for the replacement 
reporting system are sufficient to allow for their continued 
use for the purposes of chapter 325 of title 10, United States 
Code, including measuring cost growth in acquisition programs; 
(4) An assessment of whether the DOD's plans for the 
replacement reporting system are sufficient to allow for their 
continued use for the purposes of sections 4217 and 4311 of the 
Atomic Energy Defense Act, Division C, Title XXXVI of the Bob 
Stump National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 
(Public Law 107-314); (5) An assessment of whether there are 
other existing uses of the Selected Acquisition Reports which 
should be continued in the DOD's replacement reporting system; 
and (6) Any other issues relating to acquisition reporting 
systems which the Comptroller General determines appropriate. 
The Comptroller General should provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than March 1, 2023, 
and a report at a mutually agreed upon date.
Modification of reporting requirement in connection with requests for 
        multiyear procurement authority for large defense acquisitions 
        (sec. 806)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 3501 of title 10, United States Code, to streamline the 
process for submitting a request to carry out a defense 
acquisition program using multiyear contract authority.
Modification of limitation on cancellation of designation of Executive 
        Agent for a certain Defense Production Act program (sec. 807)
    The committee recommends a provision that would modify the 
cancellation of the executive agent designation for a certain 
Defense Production Act program.
Comptroller General assessment of acquisition programs and related 
        efforts (sec. 808)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 3072(a) of title 10, United States Code, to extend an 
annual assessment by the Comptroller General of the United 
States of Department of Defense acquisition programs and 
efforts.
    The committee notes that the Comptroller General's annual 
assessment of selected weapons programs has been a highly 
valued product supporting the congressional defense committees' 
oversight for over 20 years.
    The committee believes that, given the flexible acquisition 
authorities provided to the Department through the Adaptive 
Acquisition Framework, the Comptroller General's assessments 
must continue to keep pace and should cover the full range of 
the Department's available authorities.

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

Treatment of certain clauses implementing executive order mandates 
        (sec. 821)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 3862 of title 10, United States Code, to clarify that 
the insertion of a clause implementing a new requirement 
mandated by an Executive Order into a Department of Defense 
contract vehicle would be considered a Government-directed 
change.
Data requirements for commercial products for major weapon systems 
        (sec. 822)
    The committee recommends a provision that would modify 
section 3455 of title 10, United States Code, to allow the 
Department of Defense to require offerors for certain sole 
source contracts asserting commercial of a type determinations 
to provide price data to support their bid submissions in 
certain circumstances.
Task and delivery order contracting for architectural and engineering 
        services (sec. 823)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 3406 of title 10, United States Code, to modify how the 
most highly qualified contractor is selected to perform 
architectural and engineering services.
    The committee is concerned that the Army Corps of Engineers 
has an enormous backlog of unexecuted projects. The committee 
is further concerned that the Corps of Engineers is adding 
process steps that are costly and time-consuming. Examples 
include a newly discovered requirement to routinely ask for 
submissions on task order contracts for multiple award task 
order architectural and engineering services. Another example 
is the Corps of Engineers' decision to, at the end of the 
fiscal year, return supervision and administration funding for 
contracts funded with expiring funds. While the projects can 
continue, this decision results in a blackout at the end of the 
fiscal year and the start of the new fiscal year when the Corps 
is not funded to manage ongoing contracts, resulting in delays 
due to the inability to review shop drawings, answer requests 
for information, or address changes.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Comptroller General 
of the United States to review a sample of multiple award task 
order architect engineering contracts to determine: (1) How 
long it takes the Corps of Engineers to acquire a task order 
for architect and engineering services under a multiple award 
contract; (2) What the added cost is in terms of time and money 
for requesting and review of task order submissions; (3) If the 
Corps routinely informs unsuccessful proposers that they were 
not selected for a task order and if so, how promptly is the 
notification made; (4) If the Corps Districts and Centers use 
the same processes and notifications; and (5) Other Comptroller 
General observations on contracting for architect and 
engineering services. The Comptroller General shall brief the 
committee on its findings no later than March 1, 2023.
    Additionally, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Army to direct a study of Corps of Engineers contracting 
processes to identify ways to reduce the cost and time of 
delivering construction projects. The study should include a 
review of architect engineering contracting, construction 
contracting, implementation of project partnering on design and 
construction contracts, and contracting for installation level 
maintenance and repair as well as service contracts. The study 
should identify reforms that are needed in contracting and 
project execution including those that require legislation. The 
Secretary should provide the study to the committee not later 
than March 1, 2023.
Extension of pilot program for distribution support and services for 
        weapons systems contractors (sec. 824)
    The committee recommends a provision that would extend the 
pilot program established in section 883 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328) by 1 year.
Pilot program to accelerate contracting and pricing processes (sec. 
        825)
    The committee recommends a provision that would extend the 
Defense Pricing and Contracting pilot program authority to 
January 2, 2024.
Extension of Never Contract with the Enemy (sec. 826)
    The committee recommends a provision that would extend the 
sunset in section 841(n) of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) to December 31, 2025.
    The committee notes that the administration requested to 
extend and expand this authority. The committee has received 
insufficient justification to expand this authority and is 
concerned, as part of such expansion, with the potential for: 
(1) Unduly subjective determinations; (2) Uneven implementation 
across commands; (3) A lack of Office of Secretary of Defense 
oversight; (4) Insufficient options for reconsideration by 
affected contractors; and (5) Unclear conditions of 
applicability to U.S.-owned, -operated, and -located 
contractors that may or may not do business with the 
Department.
    Accordingly, the committee supports a 2-year extension of 
the existing authority and recommends the Department modify its 
legislative proposal to expand such authority to address the 
committee's concerns in a comprehensive manner.
Progress payment incentive pilot (sec. 827)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to establish and implement a four-year 
pilot program to make accelerated progress payments contingent 
upon responsiveness to Department of Defense goals for 
effectiveness, efficiency, and increasing small business 
contract opportunities.
Report on Department of Defense Strategic Capabilities Office 
        contracting capabilities (sec. 828)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require a 
report on the contracting capabilities of the Department of 
Defense's Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO), including an 
assessment of the extent to which changes to these capabilities 
could benefit the SCO in carrying out its mission.

                  Subtitle C--Industrial Base Matters

Analyses of certain activities for action to address sourcing and 
        industrial capacity (sec. 841)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to review certain goods and services and 
make a determination regarding the appropriateness of limiting 
sourcing or taking other specified procurement actions.
Modification to miscellaneous limitations on the procurement of goods 
        other than United States goods (sec. 842)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to 
conduct periodic reviews of certain items included in section 
4864 of title 10, United States Code.

Demonstration exercise of enhanced planning for industrial mobilization 
        and supply chain management (sec. 843)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to conduct a demonstration exercise of 
industrial mobilization and supply chain management planning 
capabilities in support of an operational or contingency plan 
use case, as selected in consultation with the Chairman of the 
Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment. In addition, the provision would 
require an assessment at the end of the demonstration exercise 
to describe the use cases considered, how the elements of the 
demonstration exercise were addressed, outcomes, conclusions, 
and lessons learned, and any recommendation for legislative 
action.
    The committee notes that there will likely be data or 
lessons from this demonstration exercise process that may also 
have the additional benefit of helping provide data and insight 
into the mergers and acquisitions review processes in the 
Department of Defense. The committee encourages the Department, 
in structuring this demonstration exercise, to consider the 
process on-ramps and off-ramps for other related activities and 
how to implement lessons learned across initiatives.

Procurement requirements relating to rare earth elements and strategic 
        and critical materials (sec. 844)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Department of Defense to track the sourcing of contractor-
provided rare earth elements and critical materials, with 
certain national security waivers and periodic reviews of the 
Department's tracking by the Comptroller General of the United 
States. The provision would also expand some restrictions on 
the procurement of military and dual-use technologies by 
Chinese military companies.

Modification to the national technology and industrial base (sec. 845)

    The committee recommends a provision that would add New 
Zealand to the National Technology Industrial Base (NTIB). The 
committee believes that the NTIB provides unique opportunities 
for collaboration on research, development, production, and the 
provision of services between allies and helps foster a secure, 
reliable industrial base in a variety of critical technology 
areas.
    Given the close collaboration between existing NTIB members 
and New Zealand, the committee believes adding New Zealand to 
the NTIB is a logical extension and will strengthen the NTIB 
and its objectives. The committee notes adding New Zealand to 
the NTIB would result in the NTIB countries being identical to 
the signatories of the United Kingdom--United States of America 
Agreement, as amended, which was enacted on March 5, 1946 and 
is commonly referred to as the Five Eyes. The committee 
believes this change should result in greater synergy and 
collaboration across a range of important national security and 
defense industrial base issues.

Modification of prohibition on operation or procurement of foreign-made 
        unmanned aircraft systems (sec. 846)

    The committee recommends a provision that would modify 
section 848 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) by adding Russia, Iran, 
and North Korea to the list to which the prohibition applies.

Annual report on industrial base constraints for munitions (sec. 847)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require 
annual reporting on industrial base constraints for munitions.

                   Subtitle D--Small Business Matters


Modifications to the Defense Research and Development Rapid Innovation 
        Program (sec. 861)

    The committee recommends a provision that would modify 
section 4061 of title 10, United States Code, to make 
modifications to the Defense Rapid Innovation Program to focus 
and improve technology development and transition outcomes for 
the Department of Defense.

Permanent extension and modification of Mentor-Protege Program (sec. 
        862)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 831 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 1991 (Public Law 101-510) by removing the word 
pilot from the Mentor-Protege Program, increasing the 
participation term from 2 to 3 years, and making the program 
permanent. The committee notes that section 872(d) of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public 
Law 116-92) required the Defense Business Board (DBB) to 
conduct a review evaluating the effectiveness of the program. 
The ensuing report, published March 8, 2022, titled ``FY2022 
Assessment of the Department of Defense Mentor-Protege 
Program'' (DBB FY22-01), included several recommendations to 
improve the efficiency and success of the program that the 
committee endorses.
    The committee is aware that there are limited capabilities 
to capture data related to the Mentor-Protege Program. 
Currently, the program utilizes paper-based forms and email, 
limiting the ability to effectively leverage business 
intelligence or data visualization tools to improve analysis of 
the program. The lack of robust tools to collect data from 
mentors, proteges, and Department of Defense (DOD) components 
constrains any insights into trends or areas of concern. The 
committee believes the Mentor-Protege program would benefit 
from enhanced use of data analytics tools to efficiently gather 
data from relevant stakeholders and report on the data to 
highlight trends, areas of success, and areas needing 
attention.
    Therefore, not later than March 1, 2023, the committee 
directs the Office of Small Business Programs to conduct an 
assessment of existing DOD business intelligence and data 
analytics tools to determine if there is a system or suite of 
capabilities that can meet the needs of the program. In 
addition to finding a better way to review the data currently 
collected, in the assessment the Department should determine 
the feasibility of additional data elements that might be 
collected, including: (1) Denial or delay of agreements; (2) 
Number of agreements cancelled prior to completion; (3) Sectors 
of the mentors and proteges; (4) Metrics on awareness and 
marketing campaigns; and (5) Any other data points the Director 
of the Office of Small Business Programs would like to include.
    Additionally, while the Mentor-Protege Program has been in 
place for over 30 years and has assisted over 1,000 Proteges, 
it remains relatively unknown amongst many small businesses. 
Small business participation with the DOD has been steadily 
decreasing and the barriers to entry to work with the 
Department are increasing. To increase awareness of the Mentor-
Protege Program, the committee believes that the Department 
should improve and increase communication and marketing 
efforts. Therefore, the committee directs the Director of the 
Office of Small Business Programs to complete and implement a 
communications strategy for the Mentor-Protege Program and 
submit it to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives, not later than October 1, 2023. 
The strategy should include but not be limited to: (1) 
Potential participation in Mentor-Protege Program conferences, 
or incorporation into other DOD industry outreach evens; (2) 
Partnerships with other private and public small business 
organizations; and (3) Additional marketing actions that can 
improve awareness.

Small business integration working group (sec. 863)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to create a small business integration 
working group, to be led by the Director of the Department of 
Defense Office of Small Business Programs, to improve 
coordination of the Department's small business efforts.
    The committee commends the Department of Defense for the 
number of efforts underway to facilitate small business 
participation in the defense industrial base. However, the 
committee is concerned that these efforts are run out of a 
number of different organizations across the Department with 
varying degrees of coordination. The committee believes that 
the Department could better leverage its small business 
outreach resources in a coordinated manner.

Demonstration of commercial due diligence for small business programs 
        (sec. 864)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to conduct a demonstration of commercial 
due diligence tools, techniques, and processes in order to 
support small businesses in identifying attempts by malicious 
foreign actors to gain undue access or foreign oversight, 
control, and influence over technology under development on 
behalf of the Department of Defense (DOD). The committee 
recognizes that small businesses are particularly vulnerable to 
predatory commercial actions from foreign malicious actors that 
can easily disguise their behavior in the multitude of 
transactions the open and transparent U.S. business environment 
allows. The committee believes that additional effort to help 
monitor and surveil suspect transactions for potential 
intellectual property theft on behalf of small businesses is 
helpful both to protect their integrity and the integrity of 
their intellectual property, as well as to protect DOD 
interests.
    The committee also recognizes that the types of commercial 
due diligence tools under consideration have the additional 
benefit of helping provide data and insight into the mergers 
and acquisitions review processes in the Department. The 
committee encourages the Department, in structuring this 
demonstration, to consider the process on-ramps and off-ramps 
for other related activities, and how to implement lessons 
learned across initiatives.

Improvements to Procurement Technical Assistance Center program (sec. 
        865)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
sections 4955(a)(1) and 4961 of title 10, United States Code, 
to improve the Procurement Technical Assistance Center program 
by increasing the funding limit and making certain 
administrative changes.

                       Subtitle E--Other Matters


Risk management for Department of Defense pharmaceutical supply chains 
        (sec. 871)

    The committee recommends a provision the would require the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to 
develop guidance for risk management of pharmaceutical supply 
chains, and for the Director of the Defense Health Agency to 
develop an implementation plan for such guidance and establish 
a working group to better assess and mitigate risks to the 
Department of Defense's pharmaceutical supply chains.

Key advanced system development industry days (sec. 872)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require 
periodic industry days for developing key advanced systems.

Modification of provision relating to determination of certain 
        activities with unusually hazardous risks (sec. 873)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 1684 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81) to require the submission 
of certain reports through fiscal year 2024.

Incorporation of controlled unclassified information guidance into 
        program classification guides and program protection plans 
        (sec. 874)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to ensure that all program classification 
guides (for classified programs) and all program protection 
plans (for unclassified programs) include guidance for the 
proper marking for controlled unclassified information (CUI) at 
their next regularly scheduled update. The provision would also 
require the Department of Defense to establish a process for 
monitoring progress and to have all updates completed by 
January 1, 2029.
    As noted elsewhere in this Act, the committee understands 
the Department's uneven application of CUI markings is 
particularly problematic for industry, which often receives 
little CUI training or guidance from the Government and is 
unsure of its responsibilities regarding this marking 
convention. The committee is also concerned with the extent and 
efficacy of the training, guidance, and oversight provided to 
the Department's Government personnel on the CUI marking 
convention, which has resulted in the over-classification of 
entire documents and a lack of clear portion markings within 
documents.

                       Items of Special Interest


AbilityOne program

    The committee commends the work of AbilityOne nonprofit 
agencies that are critical components of the domestic defense 
industrial base. This program supports the Department of 
Defense and employs individuals who are blind or have severe 
disabilities in accordance with the chapter 85 of title 41, 
United States Code while also promoting domestic defense 
manufacturing and the enhancement of infrastructure.
    Therefore, under existing statutes, regulations, and 
Executive Orders, the committee recommends the Department of 
Defense consider additional contract opportunities under the 
priority of source procurement requirements through engagement 
with the AbilityOne Commission to place Department of Defense 
supplies and services, or portions of supplies and services, on 
the AbilityOne Procurement List.

Assessment of commercial sustainment standards for defense applications

    The committee is aware that there are commercial standards, 
such as the S-Series Integrated Product Support specifications 
(the S-Series), that can enable the seamless passage of 
technical data, and enable a common architecture and data model 
for logistics, provisioning, technical publications, 
courseware, scheduled maintenance, and maintenance data 
feedback. The committee notes that the S-Series was developed 
to allow stakeholders to leverage a common architecture and 
core data model, which enables common product support processes 
across a system's life cycle.
    While the Department of Defense implements standards across 
other technical areas, such as acquisition and information 
systems, the committee is concerned that less attention has 
been paid to sustainment despite it being a significant driver 
of cost and effort. The committee believes that despite the 
clear potential of the S-Series, and its broad adoption by 
international partners and allies, the Department has not 
implemented policies to ensure consistent application of the S-
Series across the military services.
    The committee believes the S-Series approach could enable 
interoperability, reduce complexity, enhance collaboration, and 
reduce reliance on proprietary tools and processes. The 
committee further believes that the adoption of the S-Series 
could enable the Department to use data at speed and scale for 
operational advantage based on an agile open architecture, 
robust standards, tiered governance, and a data-driven 
workforce.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing, 
not later than March 1, 2023, to the committee assessing the 
feasibility and advisability of adoption and implementation of 
the S-Series suite of specifications by the Department. Such 
briefing shall include consideration of best practices and 
lessons learned from industry groups, as well as international 
partners and allies with experience in adoption and 
implementation of the S-Series.

Assessment of Department of Defense small business contracting goals

    The committee supports the Department of Defense's (DOD) 
goal of engaging with small businesses in a concerted fashion 
in order to foster innovation and attract new entrants into the 
defense industrial base. Small businesses are vital components 
in the defense and innovation ecosystem, which has been 
demonstrated by the Department in the specific cases of the 
Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business 
Technology Transfer (STTR) programs. In a study of the economic 
impact from SBIR/STTR, the Department found that from 1995 to 
2012, those two programs alone resulted in a 22 to 1 return on 
investment, including $347.0 billion in total economic impact 
Nation-wide and the creation of 1,508,295 jobs.
    The committee is aware that the Department is working on a 
new small business strategy to better articulate how it might 
structure its engagements to be more open and inviting and to 
hopefully widen and diversify the pool of companies supporting 
DOD needs. The committee anticipates that a component of that 
strategy will look at how to improve the ability of small 
businesses to compete for Defense contracts, including how to 
take fullest advantage of existing small business contracting 
goals. The committee is aware that these goals are spread 
across multiple socioeconomic categories, which each have broad 
support and constituency. However, the committee is also aware 
that from a congressional perspective, those goals are often 
looked at individually by category, not at a holistic level to 
understand how the goals taken together can mutually reinforce 
positive outcomes or inadvertently interfere with one another.
    To better understand the impacts of the current approach to 
small business contracting goals within the Department of 
Defense, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Industrial Base Policy to conduct an independent 
assessment of the Departments' small business contracting goals 
and to report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
and the House of Representatives, not later than June 1, 2023, 
with an interim briefing and not later than January 1, 2024, 
with a final assessment report. This assessment shall include: 
(1) Impact of the subcontracting goals for each socioeconomic 
category and the metrics utilized to come to that conclusion; 
(2) Identification of any overlap in categories, as well as any 
gaps in current categories; (3) Identification of the impacts 
specific categories might have (positive and negative) on other 
specific socioeconomic categories; (4) Recommendations for how 
to improve the definitions or uses of categories, as well as 
how the Department might make better use of small business 
contracting goals broadly; and (5) Any other findings or 
recommendations the Assistant Secretary might deem appropriate.
    In conducting the assessment, the committee encourages the 
Department to leverage a federally funded research and 
development center, university affiliated research center, or 
other similar independent, non-profit entity to help provide an 
independent viewpoint. The committee fully expects the Director 
of the Office of Small Business Programs in the Department to 
participate and support this assessment, in coordination with 
the small business program offices in the military services.

Briefing on adherence to conflict of interest disclosure requirements

    The committee understands that Federal Acquisition 
Regulations (FAR) include explicit language mandating that 
Government agencies must determine whether contractors have any 
conflicts of interest related to specific contracts they may be 
awarded. In instances when contractors disclose conflicts of 
interest, they must develop a mitigation plan, seek a waiver 
from the contracting officer, or withdraw from the project. The 
committee has been made aware of one or more companies that may 
have failed to disclose conflicts of interest to the Department 
of Defense (DOD). The committee is concerned about the 
potential impact these failures to disclose potential conflicts 
of interest could have on DOD operations, especially in 
instances involving Chinese and Russian contracts.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than 
February 1, 2023, on current processes the DOD uses to monitor, 
assess, and determine the potential impact or risk of conflicts 
of interest by companies bidding for and executing DOD 
contracts. The briefing shall include at a minimum: (1) An 
assessment of current FAR requirements and DOD instructions on 
determining potential conflicts of interest; (2) The current 
process for periodically monitoring and assessing the risk 
implications of such disclosures over time; (3) A summary of 
cases where conflicts were found and how they were resolved; 
(4) A summary of any companies found in violation of required 
reporting of conflict of interests and mitigation actions that 
were taken by the DOD; and (5) A summary of existing DOD Office 
of Inspector General investigations on potential violations of 
FAR requirements requiring disclosure of conflicts of interest.

Comptroller General report on Adaptive Acquisition Framework 
        implementation

    The committee notes that in an effort to improve 
performance and deliver capabilities faster, the Department of 
Defense recently revamped its acquisition policy by 
establishing an Adaptive Acquisition Framework (AAF) comprised 
of six acquisition pathways, each tailored for the 
characteristics and risk profile of the capability being 
acquired.
    Accordingly, the committee 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: (1) The extent to which each service is tailoring 
acquisition programs to best utilize the flexibilities of the 
AAF; (2) The extent to which the acquisition workforce of each 
service understands how to appropriately apply and implement 
the AAF, including identifying the most suitable pathway for 
different acquisition programs; (3) The extent to which service 
acquisition executives and other senior acquisition leaders are 
providing guidance and coaching to program teams on how best to 
tailor acquisition programs and monitor performance; (4) Any 
other issues that the Comptroller General deems appropriate 
with respect to the military services' implementation of the 
AAF. The Comptroller General shall provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than February 1, 
2023, with a report to follow at a mutually agreed upon date.

Comptroller General report on portfolio management of Department of 
        Defense weapons system programs

    The committee notes that many successful large companies 
use a portfolio management approach to evaluate, select, 
prioritize, and allocate limited resources to programs and 
projects that collectively best accomplish the organization's 
strategic objectives. In recent years, the Congress has 
directed the Department of Defense (DOD) to take steps to 
consider and, where appropriate, implement portfolio management 
approaches for weapons system programs. For example, section 
836 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283) 
required the DOD to establish capabilities for robust, 
effective, and data-driven portfolio management to improve 
assessment, management, and optimization of the investments in 
weapons system programs. The committee also believes that a 
portfolio approach will allow the Department to do a better job 
of linking enabling technologies or activities (such as Middle 
Tier Acquisitions (MTA), Small Business Innovation Research 
(SBIR) programs, or other science & technology (S&T) 
activities) with major programs, which has the possibility to 
improve technology insertion and capability upgrades over time.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to assess the DOD's recent efforts to improve 
portfolio management for its weapons system programs. 
Specifically, the Comptroller General shall:
          (1) Review progress made by the Office of the 
        Secretary of Defense and the services in:
                  (a) identifying portfolios within weapons 
                system acquisition programs, including 
                supporting enablers or integrating technologies 
                from MTAs, SBIR or the S&T base; and
                  (b) improving portfolio management policies, 
                practices, and data systems for the acquisition 
                of weapons systems;
          (2) Identify and address key challenges that remain 
        to fully adopting leading practices for portfolio 
        management; and
          (3) Address any other issues that the Comptroller 
        General determines appropriate with respect to 
        portfolio management at the DOD.
    The Comptroller General shall provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees on preliminary findings not 
later than October 1, 2023, and submit a report to the 
committees on an agreed-upon date.

Comptroller General Review of Department of Defense mergers and 
        acquisitions

    The February 2022 State of Competition within the Defense 
Industrial Base report from the Office of the Under Secretary 
of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment found that the 
Department of Defense (DOD) faces ``a historically consolidated 
defense industrial base'' and identified the need for 
heightened review from the Department of future mergers and 
acquisitions.
    The committee notes these concerns and believes competition 
within the defense industrial base improves cost, schedule, and 
performance for the products and services needed to support 
national defense and incentivizes innovation through 
competition. The committee believes a framework for ongoing 
monitoring and assessment of the industrial base, underpinned 
by adequate data (commercially available, as well as DOD-
derived), is an important component for any effective, long-
term approach.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to evaluate the Department's oversight 
processes for vetting proposed mergers and acquisitions within 
the defense industrial base including: (1) The DOD's current 
authorities and oversight processes in merger decisions 
including the extent to which the DOD makes recommendations to 
Federal agencies that make antitrust determinations; (2) The 
DOD's current data sources (including commercially available 
data), visualization and analytical tools to support long-term 
monitoring and assessment of the defense industrial base 
environment; (3) The DOD's processes and policies to share 
information related to proposed mergers and acquisitions 
received by Federal antitrust agencies including the Department 
of Justice and Federal Trade Commission, including both the 
timeliness and comprehensiveness of information sharing; (4) 
The DOD's processes for determining the potential risk posed to 
the defense industrial base by mergers and acquisitions, both 
if consummated and if not consummated, including potential 
horizontal or vertical mergers that may present competition 
concerns and the situation of companies that may cease to be 
financially viable absent a merger or acquisition; (5) The 
DOD's understanding or evaluation of standards, frameworks, or 
indices (such as the Herfindahl-Hirschman Index) that may 
provide useful benchmarks to better understand the health of 
the industrial base; (6) Any process improvements, best 
practices, lessons learned, or other information that would 
benefit the DOD's ability to make better recommendations on 
proposed mergers and acquisitions; and (7) Any other issues 
that the Comptroller General deems appropriate with respect to 
mergers and acquisitions within the defense industrial base.
    The Comptroller General shall provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than March 1, 2023, 
with a report to follow at a mutually agreed upon date.

Comptroller General review of modular open systems approaches for 
        weapon systems

    The committee notes that designing weapons using modular 
open systems approaches (MOSA) can offer a number of benefits, 
including: significant cost savings or avoidance, schedule 
acceleration, rapid deployment of new technologies, 
opportunities for technology upgrades, improved 
interoperability, and increased competition.
    While the Department of Defense (DOD) 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 extent practicable for major 
defense acquisition programs. The committee is concerned that 
while the DOD has taken some steps to update policies and 
guidance to comply with this mandate, the Government 
Accountability Office (GAO), in a report published June 23, 
2021, titled ``Software Development: DOD Faces Risks and 
Challenges in Implementing Modern Approaches and Addressing 
Cybersecurity Practices'' (GAO-21-351), recently identified 
remaining challenges, including: lack of acceptance by the 
relevant communities, negative effects on system performance, 
intellectual property rights complexity, and cybersecurity 
considerations.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to assess the DOD's use of MOSA in 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, including selected examples of 
programs using MOSA; (2) Efforts by the Office of the Secretary 
of Defense and the military departments to develop a framework 
for the governance and implementation of MOSA; (3) Development 
of an overall investment strategy to support the development 
and implementation of MOSA approaches that can be adopted by 
current or future programs; (4) Key challenges the DOD faces 
related to implementing MOSA; and (5) Other related matters the 
Comptroller General deems appropriate.
    The Comptroller General shall provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees on preliminary findings not 
later than October 1, 2023, and submit a report to the 
committees on an agreed-upon date.

Comptroller General review of Procurement Administrative Lead Times

    The committee is aware that the Office of Management and 
Budget (OMB) issued a memorandum on January 14, 2021, requiring 
all Federal agencies to track, measure, and publicly report 
Procurement Administrative Lead Times (PALT) for contracts.
    The memorandum, titled ``Reducing Procurement 
Administrative Lead Time Using Modern Business Practices,'' 
provided guidance on steps agencies should take to reduce PALT. 
The committee is concerned that little action has been taken, 
even though this information would likely be extremely valuable 
as a leading indicator in measuring the Department of Defense's 
progress in speeding up acquisition, as well as with the 
Department's current focus on improving data availability and 
visualization to support decision making.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Comptroller General 
of the United States to assess all Department of Defense 
Components' efforts to implement the Office of Federal 
Procurement Policy guidance on PALT. This assessment shall 
include: (1) Analysis of Department processes developed to 
monitor progress on reducing PALTs (including the availability 
and tracking of data through established information technology 
systems for senior management within the Department and the 
military services); (2) Assessment of progress the Department 
has made in sharing PALT results publicly; (3) Assessment of 
the Department's plans to address underlying issues such that 
PALTs can be reduced; (4) The Comptroller General's 
recommendations for improving outcomes; and (5) Other related 
matters the Comptroller General deems appropriate.
    This assessment shall reflect efforts in the Office of the 
Secretary of Defense, the military departments, and Defense 
Agencies and Field Activities. The Comptroller General shall 
provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees not 
later than February 1, 2023, and a report at a mutually agreed 
upon date.

Coordination on entities of concern for Department of Defense 
        contracting

    The committee notes that Department of Defense contracting 
processes remain vulnerable to malicious actors despite 
prohibitions on certain entities as well as enhanced supply 
chain management. The committee believes the implementation of 
section 889 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) has 
been a critical tool in reducing such vulnerabilities despite a 
complex, international web of supply chains with concerning 
foreign dependencies in some technology areas.
    The committee believes more can and should be done to 
actively manage the Department's supply chain vulnerabilities. 
The committee is aware of additional lists of malicious 
companies and organizations that are maintained by agencies 
outside of the Department and is concerned that these entities 
may go unnoticed by the Department. For example, the Bureau of 
Industry and Security of the Department of Commerce maintains a 
list set forth in Supplement No. 4 to part 744 of title 15, 
Code of Federal Regulations. There are also prohibited covered 
telecommunications equipment or services, as defined in section 
52.204-25 of title 48, Code of Federal Regulations, as well as 
services included in the list published pursuant to section 
2(a) of the Secure and Trusted Communications Networks Act of 
2019 (47 U.S.C. 1601(a)).
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to contract with a federally funded research and development 
center to deliver a report to the congressional defense 
committees on the advisability of the Department of Defense 
adopting or coordinating prohibitions detailed within various 
lists of entities of concern. This report shall include the 
following elements:
          (1) A description of the authorities of the 
        Department of Defense that may be used to prohibit, 
        exclude, or prevent the use of suspect products, 
        services, or entities by contractors of the Department, 
        including:
                  (a) the discretionary authorities of the 
                Department to prohibit, exclude, or prevent the 
                use of such products, services, or entities;
                  (b) the authorities of a suspension and 
                debarment official to prohibit, exclude, or 
                prevent the use of such products, services, or 
                entities;
                  (c) authorities relating to supply chain risk 
                management for telecommunications systems or 
                services;
                  (d) authorities that provide for the 
                continuous monitoring of information technology 
                networks to identify suspect products, 
                services, or entities; and
                  (e) the applicability of the authorities 
                provided under the Federal Information Security 
                Management Act of 2002 (Public Law 107-296);
          (2) An assessment of any gaps in the authorities 
        described in clause (1), including any gaps in the 
        enforcement of decisions made under such authorities.
          (3) An explanation of the capabilities and 
        methodologies used to periodically assess and monitor 
        the information technology networks of contractors of 
        the Department of Defense for prohibited products, 
        services, or entities;
          (4) An assessment of the ability of the Department of 
        Defense to periodically conduct training and exercises 
        in the use of the authorities described in clause (1):
                  (a) to identify recommendations for 
                streamlining process; and
                  (b) to identify recommendations for education 
                and training curricula, to be integrated into 
                existing training or certification courses;
          (5) A description of information sharing mechanisms 
        that may be used to share information about suspect 
        products, services, or entities, including mechanisms 
        for the sharing of such information among the Federal 
        Government, industry, the public, and international 
        partners;
          (6) Identification of existing tools for business 
        intelligence, application management, and commerce due-
        diligence that are either in use by elements of the 
        Federal Government, or that are available commercially, 
        and may be used to monitor the supply chains of the 
        Department of Defense;
          (7) Recommendations for improving the authorities, 
        processes, resourcing, and capabilities for the purpose 
        of improving the procedures for identifying and 
        removing prohibited products or services from the 
        supply chain of contractors of the Department of 
        Defense; and
          (8) Such other matters as the Secretary considers 
        appropriate.
    An interim briefing on the preliminary results of this 
report shall be provided by March 1, 2023, with the final 
report provided by July 1, 2023. The interim briefing and final 
report shall be submitted in unclassified form, but may include 
a classified annex.

Expansion of Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment initiatives in 
        the Indo-Pacific region

    The committee is aware that the Department of Defense's 
(DOD) Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment (IBAS) program 
has been funding critical workforce development programs that 
support the submarine and naval industrial base under its 
National Imperative for Industrial Skills.
    The committee recognizes that this initiative and the 
industrial skills investments it is fostering have been 
demonstrating success that will be the foundation for a strong 
and sustainable naval industrial base. The industrial skills 
workforce development ecosystem model that IBAS has implemented 
and funded has the potential to provide a framework and 
methodology that could be exportable to other geographic 
regions and technical sectors.
    With the ongoing competition in the Indo-Pacific region, 
the committee recognizes that having a locally-based and -
skilled workforce is critical to ensuring the mission and 
readiness at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard (PHNSY) and other 
facilities in the region necessary to sustain, maintain, and 
project power in the region. In addition, the establishment of 
PHNSY's Guam Detachment to support increasing submarine 
maintenance needs underscores the importance of Hawaii and Guam 
in countering malign Chinese naval activity.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Undersecretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, in coordination with 
the Commander, Naval Sea Systems Command, to conduct an 
assessment of the feasibility to expand IBAS initiatives to 
better support the workforce and training of the Indo-Pacific 
region and provide a briefing to the committee not later than 
December 1, 2022. This briefing shall address the applicability 
of current IBAS initiatives to PHNSY, any workforce gaps not 
addressed by current IBAS initiatives, existing activities at 
PHNSY executed through other mechanisms that could be better 
integrated with IBAS initiatives, and any funding, authority, 
or resource gaps that, if addressed, could improve the 
workforce development initiatives in the Indo-Pacific region 
including at PHNSY.

Inspector General review of Controlled Unclassified Information

    As noted elsewhere in this Act, the committee is concerned 
with the uneven application of controlled unclassified 
information (CUI) document marking within the Department of 
Defense (DOD). While the committee understands the need to 
protect sensitive unclassified information, we remain concerned 
that a clear, systematic process and corresponding guidance 
from the Department for applying the CUI marking guidance is 
lacking.
    The committee understands this issue is particularly 
problematic for industry, which often receives little CUI 
training or guidance from the government and is unsure of its 
responsibilities regarding this marking convention. The 
committee is also concerned with the extent and efficacy of the 
training, guidance, and oversight provided to the Department's 
Government personnel on the CUI marking convention, which has 
resulted in the over-classification of entire documents and a 
lack of clear portion markings within documents.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Department of Defense 
Inspector General (DOD IG) to conduct a review of CUI marking 
guidance, training and oversight and to provide a report to the 
congressional defense committees not later than June 1, 2023. 
In conducting this review, the committee directs DOD IG to 
examine a cross-section of military departments, agencies and 
activities, as well as documents provided by a range of 
Department contractors in the course of their work for the 
Government. Additionally, this review shall include:
          (1) The adequacy of existing CUI training and 
        guidance to Government and industry personnel;
          (2) Mechanisms to track and remediate issues, as well 
        as provide higher-level, systematic oversight, for 
        Department-wide CUI marking directives including 
        establishment of metrics and lessons learned;
          (3) A spot check assessment of a subset of 
        Department-marked CUI documents to determine if they 
        reflect current guidance including portion markings, as 
        well as to identify any potential gaps or challenges 
        with that guidance; and
          (4) Other matters as the DOD IG deems appropriate.

Medical Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense 
        Consortium contract ceiling

    The committee has learned that several members of the 
Medical Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear Defense 
Consortium (MCDC) and its consortium management firm performed 
vital work to develop COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics 
utilizing task orders on an existing Department of Defense 
(DOD) other transactions agreement contract with the consortium 
that was issued in 2016 by the Army Contracting Command in 
Picatinny, New Jersey. The committee understands this 
successful work was performed on a cost recovery basis, with 
the companies and the consortium management firm voluntarily 
accepting no profit. The committee lauds this effort by the 
MCDC and believes that companies should not be unfairly 
deprived of their intended scope of work and associated 
earnings because of their contributions to addressing the 
Nation's pandemic crisis.
    Accordingly, the committee urges the Secretary of the Army 
to consider increasing the MCDC contract ceiling by the dollar 
amount of the COVID-19 work that was performed on a no-fee 
basis and that such contract remain in place until the revised 
ceiling is reached on the expiration of the original period of 
performance in 2026. Further, while the committee is aware of 
this specific MCDC contract issue related to COVID-19 work, the 
committee urges the Secretary of Defense to review all DOD 
contracts utilized for COVID-19 work beyond the original scope 
of such contracts and provide ceiling and period of performance 
relief as appropriate.

Modernizing defense supply chain management

    The committee acknowledges that continuing to modernize 
Department of Defense (DOD) supply chain management utilizing 
private sector best practices where applicable is imperative to 
run effective domestic and overseas operations, ensure timely 
maintenance and sustain military forces. The committee supports 
the Secretary of Defense's continued development and 
integration of advanced digital supply chain management and 
capabilities. These capabilities should include tools that 
digitize data flows in order to transition from older, 
inefficient manual systems, modernize DOD warehouse operations 
to use digitized data management and inventory control, and 
maximize cybersecurity protection of logistics processes. To 
meet the DOD's unique needs regarding continuity of supply 
chain management in both garrison and deployed or austere 
environments, the Department must prioritize digital supply 
chain management solutions that use durable devices and 
technologies designed to operate in remote regions with limited 
network connectivity.

Nontraditional defense contractor goods and services

    The committee believes that the greater use of commercial 
goods and services in defense procurements can help encourage 
broader participation of nontraditional defense contractors 
(NDC) in the defense industrial base and improve acquisition 
efficiencies and foster innovation. However, the committee 
understands that although section 3457 of title 10, United 
States Code, empowers the acquisition community with 
authorities to leverage commercial procurement processes in 
dealing with NDCs, contracting officers are sometimes hesitant, 
or refuse, to exercise this authority.
    The committee is concerned that in some instances, this 
hesitancy may be due to the lack of guidance and procedures 
from senior acquisition officials, including service and 
Defense Agency contracting officials, to encourage and 
facilitate the use of these authorities.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition 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 use of 
NDC acquisition authorities pursuant to section 3457 of title 
10, United States Code, since 2016, including the utilization 
rate by service and Defense Agency, the types of products and 
services acquired, number of NDC transactions as a result of 
these authorities, and recommendations for updating guidance 
and procedures to improve the use of this authority.

Procurement Technical Assistance Centers

    The committee is aware of and supports plans by the 
Department of Defense (DOD) 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 
(OUSD(A&S)), in compliance with section 852 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-
92). The committee is also aware that DOD is currently working 
on its small business strategy, which will focus on bringing 
new entrants into the defense industrial base and provide 
opportunities to translate those new approaches into reality. 
The committee supports the PTAP and believes PTACs provide 
critical assistance to small businesses within the defense 
industrial base to help navigate Government contracting. PTACs 
can be critical enablers to opening the defense industrial base 
to small, non-traditional companies who are on the forefront of 
innovation.
    The committee believes the Department can utilize PTACs 
even more effectively by facilitating small business 
cybersecurity training and foreign ownership, control, and 
influence (FOCI) training, conducting market research and 
commercial due diligence for the Department, and sharing data 
between small businesses and the Department. PTACs can help 
ensure small businesses are aware of and facilitate training of 
DOD's cybersecurity requirements, including the Cybersecurity 
Maturity Model Certification 2.0 framework. This is an 
important effort to provide small businesses the cybersecurity 
tools they need to protect against cyber threats, which can be 
a barrier for entry into working with the Department for small 
businesses. Additionally, education is useful tool for 
combatting foreign influence that leads to economic espionage 
and unauthorized technology transfer to non-allied foreign 
nations. PTACs can be utilized to aid in the training and 
education of small businesses on the risks they face and how to 
mitigate them, as well as supporting commercial due diligence 
reviews as part of the market research process.
    The committee also supports enabling the DOD OSBP to 
leverage PTACs to conduct targeted market research and 
assistance efforts to support specific acquisitions per the 
action plan developed in response to President Biden's 
Executive Order 14017, titled ``Securing Defense-Critical 
Supply Chains,'' released on February 24, 2021. This includes 
having PTACs survey small businesses to identify companies to 
participate in opportunities under the Defense Production Act 
of 1950 (Public Law 81-774). The committee is supportive of 
this effort and others, like sharing data on small business 
participation in other transaction authority and consortia-
based contracts, to better connect the DOD's acquisition 
community to small businesses. The committee recognizes that 
enabling these new modes of operation will likely require 
additional data systems to connect the PTACs together, as well 
as information pipelines and linkages with existing DOD 
information systems to seamlessly move data, improve senior 
level decision making, and also to experiment with new 
artificial intelligence/machine learning and data analytics 
tools that are not currently available to this workforce.
    Therefore, the committee directs the USD(A&S) and the 
Director, OSBP, to provide a briefing to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives, 
not later than February 1, 2023, on the DOD's small business 
strategy including OSBP's efforts to use PTACs to facilitate 
cybersecurity and FOCI training, market research, and data 
sharing within the small business community, and what 
additional steps should be taken to help small businesses enter 
the defense industrial base.

Reimbursement of withdrawal liability

    The committee is aware that small businesses assume a 
number of risks in balancing the complex requirements of 
defense regulation, including broader workforce and financial 
protections provisions. For example, maintaining a multi-
employer pension plan entails a set of obligations that links 
liability for unfunded vested benefits to contract periods of 
performance. The Multi-Employer Pension Plan Amendment Act 
(Public Law 96-364) imposes this liability on employers who 
withdraw from these plans, however, there is a high degree of 
uncertainty of the actual amount of the liability to be paid. 
That liability is not calculated until the end of a contract, 
but from a planning perspective can be affected by contract 
bridges, extension, or cancellations. The insurance industry 
does not offer policies to mitigate the impact of prospective 
withdrawal liability, nor do contracting agencies treat these 
as allowable or reimbursable expenses.
    To better understand the implications of these policies, 
the committee directs the Undersecretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment and the Department of Defense 
General Counsel to review current policies and practices with 
regards to the reimbursement of withdrawal liability costs to 
defense contractors and to provide a briefing to the Committees 
on Armed Services of the Senate and House of Representatives 
not later than April 1, 2023. This briefing shall describe 
current policies, procedures, and the potential risks to the 
participation, health, and competitiveness of those small 
businesses working for the Department of Defense, as well as 
any recommended changes that might be beneficial to help 
support the small business industrial base.

Sensor Open System Architecture alignment with NATO allies

    The committee commends the Department of Defense (DOD), 
industry, and academia for its ongoing efforts to support 
Modular Open Systems Architectures (MOSA) and specifically 
commends the collaboration that enabled the Sensor Open System 
Architecture (SOSA) Consortium to release SOSA Technical 
Standard 1.0 in Fall 2021. This standard, and its alignment 
with other standards such as the Army's Command, Control, 
Communications, Computers, Cyber, Intelligence, Surveillance, 
and Reconnaissance Modular Open Suite of Standards, will enable 
greater reuse, faster upgrades, increased competition and lower 
acquisition costs while still providing for fielding of state-
of-the-art components to support a competitive sensor-
effectuator edge.
    Over the last year the SOSA standard has been proven to 
provide the Department of Defense with the ability to 
circumvent industry supply chain issues, down to the 
semiconductor level, by allowing services to rapidly field 
similar capabilities in a platform using dissimilar components. 
This type of effect portability will provide the DOD the 
ability to overcome supply chain issues that are intentionally 
caused in a global conflict and will also allow the Department 
to undertake swift integration for fast fielding at speeds 
shown necessary by Russia's war on Ukraine.
    However, the committee remains concerned that the Air Force 
is not forecasting sufficient long-term mission funding to 
support future SOSA activities in general and, more 
specifically, for the challenging work to engage NATO partners 
in the area of SOSA interoperability. The interoperability and 
portability enabled by SOSA conformant hardware and software 
components are the most basic and functional building blocks 
for Joint All Domain Command and Control (JADC2) functionality. 
This potential interoperability and portability have a 
significantly increased value in the current moment as NATO and 
non-NATO allies in Europe increase defense spending, 
recapitalize spectrum management equipment, and divest Russian-
aligned equipment in favor of NATO-compliant systems. Should 
the Air Force continue to underfund its own SOSA development 
and engagement efforts, the inevitable result will be missing 
the window where an internationally viable SOSA standard will 
facilitate JADC2 interoperability among allies and instead lead 
to a future of significant cost overruns as the service 
substitutes organic, bottom-up integration and interoperability 
with vast expenditures on purchased capability.
    Therefore, the committee encourages the Air Force to 
consider establishing a SOSA Engagement Office that would 
support SOSA alignment with NATO allies.

Small business intellectual property

    The committee recognizes that the Advanced Battlefield 
Management System Program is a top modernization priority for 
the Air Force and will be the backbone of a network centered 
approach in partnership with all the services across the 
Department of Defense. When fully realized, the broader effort 
for Joint All Domain Command and Control will allow U.S. forces 
from all services to receive, fuse, and act upon a vast array 
of data and information in all domains at the speed of 
relevance. The committee recognizes that balancing the needs 
for integration of multiple legacy and new capabilities across 
networks and platforms will require tradeoffs between enhanced 
capability and interoperability in order for the Department of 
Defense to achieve its desired end state. However, the 
committee understands that the Air Force's objectives and 
requirements as they relate to the results of these 
demonstrations, especially with regards to the work products 
developed by demonstration participants, were not clearly 
articulated, resulting in confusion and ill feelings. The 
committee believes that such situations create negative 
incentives for participation by small business and non-
traditional contractors, which is contrary to the direction of 
the Department to increase competition and the overall pool of 
national security technology providers.
    The committee recommends the Air Force more clearly 
articulate the benefits and obligations for demonstration 
participants, especially with regards to any development work 
or work output as a result. The committee believes that the 
Department will need to be judicious in its demands to 
participation, especially for things that may result in new 
intellectual property for the participants. In doing so, the 
Department needs to be abundantly clear to offerors so as not 
to waste time or resources, as well as leverage the resources 
and brainpower of the Intellectual Property Cadre within the 
Office of the Under Secretary of Acquisition and Sustainment 
when necessary to help inform those tradeoffs.

Software supply chain risk management

    The committee is concerned about the provenance of certain 
software used by the Department of Defense and seeks to ensure 
that the Department does not use software from adversary 
foreign countries, including: the People's Republic of China, 
Russian Federation, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, 
Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, Republic of Cuba, and Islamic 
Republic of Iran. Adversary foreign nations may seek to exploit 
the supply chains on which the Department relies, especially 
for those frequent instances in which software is composed in 
part of code borrowed or reused from other sources. To help 
secure these supply chains, the committee believes the 
Department needs additional data to identify and track foreign 
sources of software used by the Department, including an 
assessment of potential security issues posed by software 
currently in use by the Department.
    Therefore, not later than January 31, 2023, the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, in 
consultation with the Chief Information Officer of the 
Department, shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and the House of Representatives a review of the 
Department's software acquisition strategy to address its 
potential vulnerabilities, including how it identifies and 
verifies the provenance and security of code, tracks and 
remediates identified vulnerabilities, and mitigates risk 
overall to the Department's code base, both commercial and open 
source.
    This report shall include an assessment of the Department's 
software that is produced in a foreign country, including: (1) 
An assessment of any contractor or subcontractor from any 
adversary foreign country listed above who in whole or in part 
produced software that has been acquired by the Department; (2) 
An assessment of any contractor or subcontractor who in whole 
or in part produced software that has been acquired by the 
Department that is majority owned by an entity or government 
from an adversary foreign country listed above; and (3) An 
assessment of current security concerns regarding software 
currently in use by the Department. This assessment shall 
include use of vendor internal controls and/or a third-party 
certification inventories, software component analysis (e.g., 
software bill of materials), hardware component analysis (e.g., 
hardware bill of materials), hardware or software geopolitical 
affiliations mapping, component counterfeit analysis, and 
component obsolescence analysis.

Workforce Development for Defense Finance and Accounting Service 
        Personnel

    The committee is aware that rapid advancements in 
automation throughout the Defense Finance Accounting Service 
(DFAS) are resulting in increased need for additional training 
and education to support the workforce. In some cases, that is 
to accommodate additional skills development to prepare the 
workforce for dealing with new technology and processes, but in 
certain cases that also entails workforce reskilling to retrain 
DFAS workers that are currently being either partially or fully 
displaced. However, to date, the committee is not aware that 
such a workforce development initiative to upskill and reskill 
DFAS personnel has been put into place.
    The committee recognizes that the human capital within the 
DFAS workforce is a valuable resource, for both the current 
capabilities and experience they provide, as well as the 
ability to leverage those capabilities and experiences to 
evolve the organization to face the future environment. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Director of DFAS to 
provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees, not 
later than January 15, 2023, on its plan for workforce 
development training over the next 5 years. Such a plan shall 
include: (1) Skills development needs over this time period to 
prepare the workforce for future technology needs; (2) 
Identification of any workforce being partially for fully 
displaced by adoption of process automation; (3) Identification 
of reskilling training opportunities for such displaced 
workforce; (4) Establishment of measures of effectiveness for 
such activities, including for cost effectiveness and 
avoidance; and (5) Any other items the Director considers 
appropriate.

      TITLE IX--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT

   Subtitle A--Office of the Secretary of Defense and Related Matters


Increase in authorized number of Assistant and Deputy Assistant 
        Secretaries of Defense (sec. 901)

    The committee recommends a provision that would create the 
position of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Cyber 
Policy. The provision would also modify section 138 of title 
10, United States Code, in order to increase the number of 
Assistant Secretaries of Defense to 18, the number of Deputy 
Assistant Secretaries of Defense to 57, and to make some 
technical and conforming edits.
    The principal duty of the Assistant Secretary of Defense 
for Cyber Policy would be the overall supervision of policy and 
matters relating to cyber activities of the Department of 
Defense. The Assistant Secretary would also serve as the 
Principal Cyber Advisor to the Secretary of Defense. The 
committee is concerned that the current arrangement of cyber 
policy as part of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Space 
Policy does not provide adequate support to posture the 
Department to respond to the dynamic and growing cyber threats 
posed by malicious cyber actors. Establishing a dedicated 
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Cyber Policy will allow the 
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Cyber Policy to focus on 
implementation of the Department of Defense Cyber Strategy and 
on conducting oversight of U.S. Cyber Command.
    For the two additional unspecified Assistant Secretary 
positions authorized by this provision, the committee expects 
the Department to use them for the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Research and Engineering. The committee is cautious about 
specifying positions more than is essential in order to help 
reduce the number of statutorily specified positions to the 
lowest number required.

Conforming amendments relating to repeal of position of Chief 
        Management Officer (sec. 902)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 2222 of title 10, United States Code, to make the Chief 
Information Officer of the Department of Defense (DOD) 
responsible for management oversight for defense business 
systems, including for certification of such systems and 
development and upkeep for the business enterprise 
architecture. Those responsibilities were formerly carried out 
by the DOD Chief Management Officer (CMO), which was formally 
disestablished as a separate position. While the Deputy 
Secretary of Defense has been assigned the title of CMO, the 
committee believes these tasks are better aligned to the CIO 
functions, leaving the CMO room to focus on the function needs 
for business systems rather than the technical requirements 
oversight.

Limitation on availability of funds for operation and maintenance for 
        Office of Secretary of Defense (sec. 903)

    The committee recommends a provision that would limit the 
amount available to be obligated or expended for operation and 
maintenance, Defense-wide, for the Office of the Secretary of 
Defense to not more than 75 percent of the amount authorized by 
this Act until 15 days after the Secretary of Defense submits 
the information operations strategy and posture review to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives as required by section 1631(g) of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-
92).

Limitation on use of funds until demonstration of product to identify, 
        task, and manage congressional reporting requirements (sec. 
        904)

    The committee recommends a provision that would limit 
certain funds from obligation or expenditure until the 
Department of Defense demonstrates a minimum viable product of 
a modernized software tool for managing congressionally 
required reports aligned with the processes described in 
section 908 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283).
    The committee is severely disappointed in the lack of 
progress made by the Department of Defense (DOD) over 3 years 
of mutual effort to fix the significant problems in the 
Department's management of congressionally required reports. 
The committee notes that it has provided to the DOD detailed 
report data in a standardized Excel-based format with mutually 
agreed-upon data elements, including manually generated unique 
item identifiers for each report. This process, undertaken by 
the committee at no small effort, enables ingestion by the DOD 
of congressionally required reports in a matter of minutes with 
a high level of accuracy.
    Despite this effort, the DOD has yet to demonstrate a 
modernized version of its software system, the Congressional 
Hearings and Reporting Requirements Tracking System (CHARRTS). 
This modernized system should significantly streamline 
assignment, tracking, and management of reports for the 
Department of Defense and enable committee users to log in to 
view report status and manage reports. This simple fix could 
drastically improve the DOD's management of congressionally 
required reports, benefitting both the Congress and the 
Department of Defense.

Limitation on use of funds until Department of Defense complies with 
        requirements relating to alignment of Close Combat Lethality 
        Task Force (sec. 905)

    The committee recommends a provision that would limit the 
obligation or expenditure of operation and maintenance funding 
made available for the Office of the Secretary of Defense to 
not more than 75 percent until the Department complies with 
section 911 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81), relating to alignment of 
the Close Combat Lethality Task Force. The committee notes that 
the Department has neither aligned the task force as required 
by law nor provided the specified report that would permit 
alternative alignment of the task force.

  Subtitle B--Other Department of Defense Organization and Management 
                                Matters


Modification of requirements that are responsibility of Armed Forces 
        not Joint Requirements Oversight Council (sec. 911)

    The committee recommends a provision that would clarify 
which officials within the Department of Defense are 
responsible for modifying the requirements that are the 
responsibility of Armed Forces, to include establishing certain 
inventory objective requirements for such Armed Force.

Briefing on revisions to Unified Command Plan (sec. 912)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require a 
briefing to the congressional defense committees within 60 days 
of establishing a new combatant command or significantly 
revising the missions, responsibilities, or force structure of 
an existing combatant command.
    The committee has not received clear information from the 
Department of Defense on what has been transferred from U.S. 
Strategic Command with respect to sensors for space domain 
awareness or on transferring the missile defense program from 
U.S. Strategic Command to U.S. Space Command.

Updates to management reform framework (sec. 913)

    The committee recommends a provision that would modify 
section 125a of title 10, United States Code, to make updates 
to the management reform framework for the Department of 
Defense, such as an extension of the deadline for issuance of 
policy guidance, inclusion of the Director for Administration 
and Management in organizations to be consulted, and inclusion 
of several new elements for reform. The committee is concerned 
that management reform within the Department is not as high a 
priority as it should be. The committee encourages the 
Department to leverage this framework as a key tool to refocus 
and reenergize management reform as an overall priority for the 
Department in order to improve efficiency, speed, and cost 
savings necessary to maintain the Department's competitiveness 
with current and future adversaries.

Strategic management dashboard demonstration (sec. 914)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to conduct a demonstration of a strategic 
management dashboard to automate the data collection and 
visualization of the primary management goals of the Department 
of Defense. The committee recognizes that the disestablishment 
of the Chief Management Officer within the Department has 
placed management reform in the Department back under the 
Deputy Secretary of Defense's purview, with specific functions 
moving to the Director, Administration and Management, and the 
Undersecretary of Defense (Comptroller). The purview of the 
Deputy Secretary is already broad, but the committee believes 
that management reform within the Department should be a much 
higher priority than it appears to be currently. The committee 
encourages the Department to leverage this demonstration to 
refocus and reenergize management reform as an overall priority 
for the Department in order to improve efficiency, speed, and 
cost savings necessary to maintain the Department's 
competitiveness with current and future adversaries.

Demonstration program for component content management systems (sec. 
        915)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Chief Information Officer (CIO) to complete a demonstration 
program to migrate a select data set to a modern component 
content management system to help reduce the time, labor, and 
cost involved in manually updating Department of Defense (DOD) 
documents.
    The committee notes that the Joint Artificial Intelligence 
Center developed an artificial intelligence-enabled tool, 
GAMECHANGER, to make sense of the byzantine and labyrinthine 
ecosystem of Department guidance. GAMECHANGER essentially helps 
DOD policymakers find individual documents in this ecosystem.
    The committee believes that in order to improve the 
efficiency of the bureaucracy within the Department, it must 
find a solution to the problem of unorganized, disorganized, 
disconnected, and conflicting guidance on the front end in a 
more automated fashion by moving to component content 
management systems, which are currently standard practice for 
many mid-size businesses. A component content management system 
assigns unique identifiers to each component or paragraph of 
content, allowing for enterprise-wide instant updates, near 
limitless linking of content, and the ability to catalog 
changes over time. For instance, removing ``Chief Management 
Officer'' from Department of Defense guidance will likely take 
years, whereas a component content management system would 
enable this update within minutes.
    The committee believes that inefficient processes represent 
a major source of waste at the Department, and the return on 
investment for moving to component content management systems 
could be significant multiples of the initial U.S. Government 
investment. Therefore, the committee directs the CIO to provide 
a briefing to the committee, not later than December 1, 2022, 
about the applicability of component content management systems 
to DOD data.

                    Subtitle C--Space Force Matters


Vice Chief of Space Operations (sec. 921)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
chapter 908 of title 10, United States Code, to authorize a 
Vice Chief of Space Operations at the grade of general within 
the U.S. Space Force.

Establishment of field operating agencies and direct reporting units of 
        Space Force (sec. 922)

    The committee recommends a provision that would allow the 
Secretary of the Air Force to establish an Enterprise Talent 
Management Office as a field operating agency of the 
headquarters of the U.S. Space Force, and a Space Analysis 
Warfighting Center as a direct reporting unit of the Chief of 
Space Operations.

Framework for new subtitle F of title 10, United States Code, on Space 
        Component (sec. 923)

    The committee recommends a provision that would add a new 
subtitle F to title 10, United States Code, for the 
organization of the Space Component. Such subtitle would be 
repealed automatically if not amended by December 31, 2026.

Study of proposed Space Force reorganization (sec. 924)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to seek to enter into a contract with one 
or more federally funded research and development centers to 
conduct a study on the proposed reorganization of the Space 
Force and the establishment of the space component. The 
Secretary would be required to submit to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a 
report on such study not later than December 31, 2023.

                      TITLE X--GENERAL PROVISIONS

                     Subtitle A--Financial Matters

General transfer authority (sec. 1001)
    The committee recommends a provision that would allow the 
Secretary of Defense to transfer up to $6.0 billion of fiscal 
year 2023 funds authorized in division A of this Act to 
unforeseen higher priority needs in accordance with normal 
reprogramming procedures. Transfers of funds between military 
personnel authorizations would not be counted toward the dollar 
limitation in this provision.
Report on budgetary effects of inflation (sec. 1002)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to deliver additional details on the 
budgetary effects of inflation with the annual submission of 
the President's budget request. Additionally, the provision 
would require a briefing to update the congressional defense 
committees after the Department of Defense's mid-year review.
    The committee notes that the Department of Defense 
possesses few tools with which to anticipate or respond to 
inflationary effects. The committee encourages the Department 
of Defense to expand its use of data analysis to track and 
manage inflationary effects, including through additional 
collaboration with the defense industry and other stakeholders. 
The committee urges the Department to take a proactive approach 
in accommodating inflationary effects to avoid unintended 
decreases in buying power and a degradation of programmatic 
oversight over time.

                   Subtitle B--Counterdrug Activities

Extension of authority and annual report on unified counterdrug and 
        counterterrorism campaign in Colombia (sec. 1011)
    The committee recommends a provision that would extend, 
through fiscal year 2024, the authority under section 1021 of 
the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2005 (Public Law 108-375), as most recently amended 
by section 1007 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81), to support Colombia's 
unified counterdrug and counterterrorism campaign and to add an 
annual report for fiscal years 2023 and 2024.

                       Subtitle C--Naval Vessels

Modification to annual naval vessel construction plan (sec. 1021)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 231 of title 10, United States Code, to require a 
detailed transition plan for any battle force ship class in 
which the class's last ship would be procured in the future 
years defense program.
Amphibious warship force structure (sec. 1022)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 8062 of title 10, United States Code, to require that 
the naval combat force should include not less than 31 
operational amphibious warfare ships, of which not less than 10 
should be amphibious assault ships, and make other related 
changes.
Modification to limitation on decommissioning or inactivating a battle 
        force ship before the end of expected service life (sec. 1023)
    The committee recommends a provision that would modify the 
limitation on decommissioning or inactivating a battle force 
ship before the end of expected service life in section 8678a 
of title 10, United States Code, by adjusting the certification 
requirement to align with budget request submissions.

Contract requirements relating to maintenance and modernization 
        availabilities for certain naval vessels (sec. 1024)

    The committee recommends a provision that would stipulate 
certain requirements for fast attack submarine and surface ship 
maintenance and modernization availabilities.
    The committee believes that contracting with a private 
sector shipyard for fast attack submarine maintenance and 
modernization availabilities that require drydocking should be 
limited to the newest Virginia-class submarines with as 
repeatable a scope of work as possible in order to improve cost 
and schedule outcomes, as well as provide greater stability, 
predictability, and learning in the industrial base.
    The committee is concerned that lowest price technically 
acceptable and other Navy ship repair contracting strategies 
that heavily weight proposal price as an evaluation factor have 
led to poor outcomes in surface ship maintenance and 
modernization availabilities.

Prohibition on retirement of certain naval vessels (sec. 1025)

    The committee recommends a provision that would prohibit 
the retirement of certain naval vessels in fiscal year 2023.
    The committee notes the budget request proposed to 
decommission 24 battle force ships in fiscal year 2023, which 
represents 8 percent of the Navy's 298 ship battle force. Of 
these 24 ships, 8 ships are at or beyond their expected service 
life (ESL) and 16 ships would be retired prior to ESL. The 
average service life remaining in the early retirements is 16 
years.
    The committee is concerned that retiring battle force ships 
prior to ESL would result in unacceptable risk to meeting fleet 
commanders' near- and mid-term requirements. Furthermore, the 
committee believes replacing these vessels would not occur 
quickly or affordably with the average replacement unit cost 
for these 16 vessels exceeding $1.0 billion.
    The budget request proposed retiring five Ticonderoga-class 
cruisers over the next 5 years, including one cruiser in fiscal 
year 2023, which will complete extended modernization periods 
in fiscal year 2023 or 2024. The committee finds this 
unacceptable. The committee understands each of these ships has 
received in excess of $500.0 million to complete the current 
modernization period, with a total of $3.0 billion obligated on 
these ships through September 30, 2021. Work completed on these 
modernizations ranges from 57 percent to 93 percent. The Navy 
estimates that $407.0 million in total additional funding is 
required to complete the modernization of these ships and 
return all five to the fleet. The committee also notes previous 
Navy officials have testified that this extended modernization 
program would result in some of the most capable surface 
combatants in the Navy, with an extended 40-year service life.
    Accordingly, consistent with several years of Navy plans 
and budget requests, as well as congressional authorizations 
and appropriations, the committee believes the Navy should 
complete the extended modernization program on each of these 
five cruisers, return the ships to service and achieve a 40-
year service life. Moreover, it is unclear to the committee how 
the Navy's more ambitious near-term modernization plans for 
destroyers, including back fitting a SPY-6 radar and installing 
a larger electronic warfare system, could succeed if the Navy 
cannot manage the cruiser phased modernization program.
    Overall, the committee recommends retaining 12 of the 16 
ships proposed for divestment prior to ESL to better support 
the National Defense Strategy, enable additional capability 
development and experimentation, and be better positioned to 
realize the policy of the United States to achieve a 355-ship 
Navy as soon as practicable.
    The committee urges the Secretary of the Navy to pursue 
Excess Defense Article transfers to allies and partners, as 
well as other actions he may deem appropriate, to continue use 
of any appropriate vessels retired prior to or after ESL.

                      Subtitle D--Counterterrorism


Modification and extension of prohibition on use of funds for transfer 
        or release of individuals detained at United States Naval 
        Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to certain countries (sec. 1031)

    The committee recommends a provision that would extend 
through December 31, 2023, the prohibition on the use of funds 
provided to the Department of Defense to transfer or release 
individuals detained at United States Naval Station, Guantanamo 
Bay, Cuba, to Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, and Afghanistan.

Extension of prohibition on use of funds for transfer or release of 
        individuals detained at United States Naval Station, Guantanamo 
        Bay, Cuba, to the United States (sec. 1032)

    The committee recommends a provision that would extend 
through December 31, 2023, the prohibition on the use of funds 
provided to the Department of Defense to transfer or release 
individuals detained at United States Naval Station, Guantanamo 
Bay, Cuba, to the United States.

Extension of prohibition on use of funds to construct or modify 
        facilities in the United States to house detainees transferred 
        from United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (sec. 
        1033)

    The committee recommends a provision that would extend, 
until December 31, 2023, the prohibition on the use of funds 
provided to the Department of Defense to construct or modify 
facilities in the United States to house detainees transferred 
from United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Extension of prohibition on use of funds to close or relinquish control 
        of United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (sec. 
        1034)

    The committee recommends a provision that would extend 
through the end of fiscal year 2023 the prohibition on the use 
of funds provided to the Department of Defense to: (1) Close or 
abandon United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; (2) 
Relinquish control of Guantanamo Bay to the Republic of Cuba; 
or (3) Implement a material modification to the Treaty between 
the United States of America and Cuba, signed at Washington, 
D.C., on May 29, 1934, which modification would constructively 
close United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

         Subtitle E--Miscellaneous Authorities and Limitations


Department of Defense-Department of Veterans Affairs Discharge Review 
        Board Committee (sec. 1041)

    The committee recommends a provision that would establish a 
Department of Defense-Department of Veterans Affairs Discharge 
Review Board Committee to advise the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Personnel and Readiness and the Deputy Secretary of 
Veterans Affairs on matters relating to the review boards under 
section 1553 of title 10, United States Code.

Modification of provisions relating to cross-functional team for 
        emerging threat relating to anomalous health incidents (sec. 
        1042)

    The committee recommends a provision that would clarify the 
responsibilities of the Department of Defense cross-functional 
team (CFT) for emerging threats relating to anomalous health 
incidents (AHIs) authorized by the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81).
    The committee remains concerned by the persistent threat 
posed by AHIs to U.S. Government personnel and their families. 
Over the past year, the Department of Defense and other 
elements of the Federal Government have taken important steps 
to improve the U.S. response to these threats. However, more 
work is needed to uncover the cause of these incidents and 
ensure appropriate care is provided to those impacted by these 
directed energy attacks. The committee believes the Department 
of Defense's cross-functional team for AHIs has a critical role 
to play in attributing, mitigating, and responding to threats 
from AHIs, while ensuring adequate care for those affected.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Policy, as the lead for the CFT for AHIs, to 
provide the congressional defense committees a classified 
report, not later than December 1, 2022, regarding AHIs. At a 
minimum, the required report shall include:
          (1) A history of AHIs recorded by the Department of 
        Defense;
          (2) A description of U.S. and adversary research 
        efforts related to technologies that could cause AHIs;
          (3) Recommendations of the AHI CFT for adapting the 
        U.S. military to the threat posed by AHIs; and
          (4) Any other matters deemed relevant by the Under 
        Secretary.

Civilian casualty prevention, mitigation, and response (sec. 1043)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to establish an office within the 
Department of Defense to serve as the focal point for matters 
related to civilian casualties and other forms of civilian harm 
resulting from military operations involving United States 
Armed Forces.
    The committee believes that protection of civilians and 
civilian objects during military operations is a moral and 
ethical imperative and commends the Department of Defense for 
the efforts it is implementing under the Civilian Harm 
Mitigation and Response Action Plan to prevent, mitigate, 
track, investigate, learn from, respond to, and report civilian 
casualties resulting from U.S. military operations. The 
committee notes that the recommended provision is supportive of 
Secretary Austin's January 27, 2022, commitment to ``establish 
a civilian protection center of excellence to better expedite 
and institutionalize the advancement of our knowledge, 
practices, and tools for preventing, mitigating, and responding 
to civilian harm'' and complementary to section 936 of the John 
S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2019 (Public Law 115-232) requiring the promulgation of a 
Department-wide policy for civilian casualty matters and the 
designation of a senior civilian official to develop, 
coordinate, and oversee compliance with such a policy. While 
long overdue, the committee looks forward to receiving the 
forthcoming Department of Defense Instruction on Civilian Harm 
Mitigation and Response that is responsive to section 936 of 
Public Law 115-232.
    The committee notes that civilian casualties are a tragic 
and unavoidable part of war and commends the Department of 
Defense for its efforts to maintain mission effectiveness while 
complying with the international law of armed conflict and the 
laws of the United States, including the principles of 
distinction, proportionality, and the requirement to take 
feasible precautions in planning and conducting operations to 
reduce the risk of harm to civilians and civilian objects. The 
committee believes strongly that the Department's efforts to 
mitigate civilian harm stand in stark contrast to those of 
certain state and non-state actors, to include Russia, that 
have demonstrated a wanton disregard for civilian safety during 
military operations.

Prohibition on delegation of authority to designate foreign partner 
        forces as eligible for the provision of collective self-defense 
        support by United States Armed Forces (sec. 1044)

    The committee recommends a provision that would prohibit 
the Secretary of Defense from delegating the authority to 
designate foreign partner forces as eligible for the provision 
of collective self-defense support by U.S. Armed Forces. The 
committee notes that this provision is not intended to affect 
the lawful provision of collective self-defense support by the 
U.S. Armed Forces after the Secretary of Defense has designated 
foreign partner forces as eligible for such support.

Personnel supporting the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense 
        for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict (sec. 1045)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense, not later than 90 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, to provide the congressional defense 
committees a plan for adequately staffing the Office of the 
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low 
Intensity Conflict (ASD SOLIC) to fulfill the office's 
responsibility for exercising authority, direction, and control 
of all special-operations peculiar administrative matters 
relating to the organization, training, and equipping of 
special operations forces.
    The committee strongly supports efforts by the Department 
of Defense to institutionalize the role of the ASD SOLIC in 
exercising authority, direction, and control of all special-
operations peculiar administrative matters relating to the 
organization, training, and equipping of special operations 
forces. These actions include the issuance of written 
Department guidance and the inclusion of the ASD SOLIC in 
appropriate leadership decision making fora. However, the 
committee remains concerned that the number and expertise of 
the personnel assigned to supporting the ASD SOLIC's ``service 
secretary-like'' responsibilities continues to fall short of 
what is required to meet congressional intent. The committee 
believes hiring efforts should be prioritized and accelerated 
and stands ready to support additional resources, as necessary, 
to facilitate a fully-staffed ASD SOLIC.
    Additionally, the committee directs the Comptroller General 
of the United States to conduct a review of Department of 
Defense efforts to implement section 922 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328), as amended, and provide an update to the Government 
Accountability Office (GAO) report published May 13, 2019, 
titled ``Special Operations Forces: Additional Actions Are 
Needed to Effectively Expand Management Oversight'' (GAO-19-
386), including any recommendations for fully implementing the 
SOLIC reforms. The committee further directs the Comptroller 
General to provide a briefing to the committee on the results 
of the review, not later than December 1, 2022, and issue a 
report to follow at a time agreed to subsequent to the 
briefing.

Joint all domain command and control (sec. 1046)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require 
control of the cross-functional team tasked with joint all 
domain command and control (JADC2) to remain under the 
direction of the Director, Command, Control, Communications and 
Computers/Cyber and Chief Information Officer of the Joint 
Chiefs of Staff (J6). The provision would also require mission-
critical effects chains and an implementation plan for the 
establishment of a joint force headquarters to serve as the 
operational command for certain JADC2 and related capabilities, 
functions, missions, and tasks, with the headquarters to be 
established not later than October 1, 2024.
    The committee believes successful implementation of JADC2 
requires constant, long-term attention of the Deputy Secretary 
of Defense and the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, 
with the support of the Joint Requirements Oversight Council, 
and commends them for their leadership on this issue. However, 
it will take years to achieve universal common data standards 
and system interfaces across the Department of Defense (DOD) to 
support JADC2. Therefore, it is critical that the Department 
enable interoperability and joint operations across domains, 
services, and systems by emphasizing experimentation and 
demonstration of novel kill chains that do not currently share 
common standards.
    The committee believes that rigorous demonstrations of 
novel mission threads and kill chains can increase capability, 
enhance deterrence, and inform the future years defense 
program. The Department has endorsed near-term campaigns of 
experimentation and demonstrations of complex kill chains in 
the JADC2 implementation plan, but the budget has failed to 
adequately resource such efforts. In addition, while the 
military services are conducting experiments, demonstrations, 
and exercises of kill chains under their service-specific 
versions of JADC2, the committee is concerned that these 
service-led activities will not provide multiple options for 
joint all-domain operations given that no single service is 
responsible for joint command and control, or for creating and 
deploying cross-service and cross-agency end-to-end targeting 
processes and procedures for combatant commanders.
    As a result, given the historical resistance of the 
services to implementing enterprise-wide jointness and 
interoperability standards, mandating experimentation and 
exercises is likely the only way to develop doctrine, standard 
operating procedures, and operational concepts for 
decentralized, distributed, cooperative, real-time targeting 
across services, platforms, and multiple command echelons. 
Therefore, this provision requires the DOD to design and 
demonstrate kinetic and non-kinetic effects chains to solve 
mission-critical operational challenges specific to the U.S. 
Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) area of operations.
    Furthermore, this provision would require the Secretary of 
Defense to designate the Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO) as 
the primary organization for developing, demonstrating, and 
transitioning the kinetic and non-kinetic effects chains. The 
committee believes the SCO is the most appropriate organization 
for this effort given it has led, since its establishment, the 
DOD in conceiving and engineering novel kill chains that cross 
services, domains, and systems, and it is chartered to support 
combatant commanders' needs for joint solutions. This provision 
would also require that the Family of Integrated Targeting 
Cells, which includes the Army's Tactical Intelligence 
Targeting Access Node and the Navy's Maritime Targeting Cell, 
be integrated into the JADC2 effects chains demonstrations as 
they provide an excellent foundation for distributed, 
survivable, responsive, and interoperable joint intelligence 
collection, processing, fusion, and dissemination nodes for 
JADC2.
    The provision would also require demonstrations of effects 
chains in INDOPACOM exercises to include the XVIIIth Airborne 
Corps Scarlet Dragon exercise series that tests artificial 
intelligence-aided targeting as well as with the Maven Smart 
System. Similarly, the provision would require sustainment of, 
and INDOPACOM and JADC2 participation in, the Global 
Information Dominance Experiment exercises conducted by U.S. 
Northern Command.
    Finally, the provision would require the establishment of a 
Joint Force Headquarters under the Commander, U.S. INDOPACOM, 
to conduct the required joint all domain effects chain and 
command and control experiments, exercises, and demonstrations, 
as well as the transition of demonstrated capabilities to 
operational status. The committee is concerned that there is no 
joint entity currently capable of serving as an operational 
transition partner for JADC2 or the Assault Breaker II 
capabilities under development by the Defense Advanced Research 
Projects Agency.
    With few exceptions, Joint Force Headquarters do not exist 
within the combatant commands, even though combatant commanders 
have the legal authority to establish them and, by doctrine, 
they are required for command of large-scale joint operations. 
If a crisis arises with a strategic competitor, the committee 
is concerned that there will be insufficient time to establish 
a new Joint Force Headquarters, which may be viewed as an 
escalatory action by a potential adversary. The committee 
believes that a standing operational Joint Force Headquarters 
in INDOPACOM can support campaigning and exercise activities in 
competition, while also being capable of commanding and 
controlling joint operations in a conflict.
    The Joint Force Headquarters in INDOPACOM would be 
responsible for managing command and control of the most 
important joint all domain effects chains for the most critical 
missions. Part of this responsibility would be to ensure that 
these effects chains can be executed through decentralized, 
distributed, resilient mission command elements and procedures. 
While the committee expects the Commander, INDOPACOM, and 
subordinate commands to provide support to the Joint Force 
Headquarters, the committee does not intend for the Joint Force 
Headquarters to detract significantly from the personnel and 
resourcing of such elements. The committee recognizes the 
operational and organizational demands facing INDOPACOM and 
expects the Commander, in establishing the joint force 
headquarters, to maintain the integrity of existing elements in 
the combatant command. The committee anticipates the Deputy 
Secretary of Defense and the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs 
of Staff will be integral in ensuring the military services 
provide adequate support for the Joint Force Headquarters, 
including personnel from a range of existing billets, not just 
from the various commands within INDOPACOM, to balance existing 
requirements with the critical, novel missions of the Joint 
Force Headquarters.

Extension of admission to Guam or the Commonwealth of the Northern 
        Mariana Islands for certain non-immigrant H-2B workers (sec. 
        1047)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 6(b)(1)(B) of the Joint Resolution titled ``A Joint 
Resolution to approve the `Covenant to Establish a Commonwealth 
of the Northern Mariana Islands in Political Union with the 
United States of America', and for other purposes'' (48 U.S.C. 
1806(b)(1)(B)), approved March 24, 1976, by extending the 
deadline for certain non-immigrant H-2B workers.
    The committee notes that this provision would support the 
realignment of U.S. forces to Guam by addressing limited 
workforce availability on Guam. The committee understands that 
current labor market conditions are constrained by the H-2B 3-
year service restriction waiver expiring in 2023 and that 
without this provision, construction costs for the Department 
of Defense are estimated to increase by at least $250.0 million 
and the Marine relocations from Japan may be delayed.

Department of Defense support for civil authorities to address the 
        illegal immigration crisis at the southwest border (sec. 1048)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Policy to provide quarterly 
briefings through December 31, 2024 to the Committee on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services of 
the House of Representatives on the Department of Defense's 
Support of Civil Authorities mission along the southwest border 
of the United States.

Department of Defense support for funerals and memorial events for 
        Members and former Members of Congress (sec. 1049)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
chapter 3 of title 10, United States Code, to authorize the 
Secretary of Defense to provide support, including 
transportation support, for the funeral or related memorial 
events of a Member or former Member of Congress, when requested 
by the Speaker of the House of Representatives, the Minority 
Leader of the House of Representatives, the Majority Leader of 
the Senate, or the Minority Leader of the Senate.

Expansion of eligibility for direct acceptance of gifts by members of 
        the Armed Forces and Department of Defense and Coast Guard 
        employees and their families (sec. 1050)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 2601a of title 10, United States Code, to authorize 
servicemembers whose injury or illness results in enrollment in 
a Warriors in Transition program to accept gifts from nonprofit 
organizations, private parties, and other sources outside the 
Department of Defense or the Department of Homeland Security.

Technical amendments related to recently enacted Commissions (sec. 
        1051)

    The committee recommends a provision that would make 
technical amendments to certain commissions enacted in the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public 
Law 117-81).

                    Subtitle F--Studies and Reports


Submission of National Defense Strategy in classified and unclassified 
        form (sec. 1061)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to present to the congressional defense 
committees an unclassified form of the National Defense 
Strategy (NDS) that is not a summary of the classified 
document.
    When the Department of Defense (DOD) transmitted the 2022 
NDS to Congress, it did not submit an unclassified summary as 
required by statute. Instead, the DOD provided a short, 
unclassified fact sheet that summarized, in broad terms, the 
main priorities of the 2022 NDS. Therefore, the committee 
believes that mandating an unclassified form of the NDS will 
support its oversight duties.

Report on impact of certain ethics requirements on Department of 
        Defense hiring, retention, and operations (sec. 1062)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to seek to enter into an agreement with a 
federally funded research and development center to conduct a 
study assessing whether specified statutory ethics requirements 
unique to the Department of Defense (DOD) have had an impact on 
the hiring or retention of personnel at the DOD, particularly 
those with specialized experience and training.

Extension of certain reporting deadlines (sec. 1063)

    The committee recommends a provision that would extend by 6 
months the reporting deadlines for certain commissions enacted 
in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 
(Public Law 117-81).

                       Subtitle G--Other Matters


Annual risk assessment (sec. 1071)

    The committee recommends a provision that would modify the 
annual unfunded priorities report to include a risk assessment 
submitted by the armed forces and combatant commands. Each risk 
assessment shall include an assessment of the risks associated 
with the most current National Military Strategy, any changes 
to the strategic environment, threats, objectives, force 
planning and size constructs, as well as other elements.

Joint Concept for Competing (sec. 1072)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require, 
not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this 
Act, the Secretary of Defense to develop a Joint Concept for 
Competing for the Department of Defense.

Prioritization and acceleration of investments to attain threat matrix 
        framework level 4 capability at training ranges supporting F-35 
        operations (sec. 1073)

    The committee recommends a provision that would express the 
sense of the Senate that the Department of the Air Force should 
prioritize and accelerate investments to develop and upgrade 
one or more ranges to attain threat matrix framework level 4 
capability, such as peer capability, not later than fiscal year 
2026.

Modification of Arctic Security Initiative (sec. 1074)

    The committee recommends a provision that would establish 
an Arctic Security Initiative.

Pilot program on safe storage of personally owned firearms (sec. 1075)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to establish a 6-year pilot program at not 
fewer than five military installations to promote the safe 
storage of personally owned firearms. The Secretary would 
furnish either locking devices, firearm safes, or both to 
servicemembers who voluntarily participate in the program. The 
provision would require the Secretary to submit an 
implementation plan of the pilot program to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
not later than 1 year after the date of the enactment of this 
Act. The Secretary would then submit a report to the 
congressional defense committees upon termination of the 
program. The committee believes that this pilot program will 
complement the ongoing suicide prevention efforts of the 
Department of Defense.

Sense of the Senate on redesignation of the Africa Center for Strategic 
        Studies as the James M. Inhofe Center for Africa Strategic 
        Studies (sec. 1076)

    The committee recommends a provision that would express the 
sense of the Senate that the Africa Center for Strategic 
Studies should be renamed the James M. Inhofe Center for Africa 
Strategic Studies.

                       Items of Special Interest


Army Interagency Training and Education Center

    The committee recognizes that the Army Interagency Training 
and Education Center (AITEC), a joint activity of the Army and 
Air National Guard, provides a valuable training capability for 
homeland defense and civil support, to include:
    (1) Providing the Department of Defense with civilian 
expertise and experience in critical infrastructure protection; 
chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear response; 
emergency management, control systems cybersecurity, and 
incident management;
    (2) Providing training and exercise support for the Joint 
Interagency Training Capability;
    (3) Conducting Mission Assurance, Cybersecurity, Port 
Security and Resiliency, and other critical infrastructure 
assessments and training along with counter-improvised 
explosive device and bombing prevention training to 
intergovernmental partners and first responders; and
    (4) In partnership with Federal, State, local, territorial, 
and Tribal response organizations, conducting all-threats, all-
hazards mission assurance assessments and all hazards disaster 
response training and exercise support.
    The committee notes AITEC's partnership with the Department 
of Homeland Security's Cybersecurity and Infrastructure 
Security Agency in offering mission assurance services to 
critical infrastructure owners and operators. As cyber 
incursions continue to proliferate, the committee believes that 
the AITEC may be well suited to assist across the interagency 
in addressing cyber threats to critical infrastructure. The 
committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to assess AITEC's 
potential for expanded mission capabilities, and if 
appropriate, provide additional resources and support.

Availability and architecture of Capitol Network

    The committee notes that the Office of the Director of 
National Intelligence resources and operates the Capitol 
Network, or CapNet, to enable classified electronic 
communications and dissemination of products between executive 
branch legislative affairs offices and congressional staff, 
including the congressional defense committees. For example, 
the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Legislative Affairs 
relies on assured access to CapNet to satisfy a variety of 
statutory requirements for timely congressional notification, 
electronic delivery of reports, and provision of other 
classified information requested by the congressional defense 
committees.
    The committee believes that access to timely classified 
electronic communications between the congressional defense 
committees and the Department of Defense is critical to the 
performance of the legislative oversight responsibilities of 
the committees. The committee is frustrated that availability 
of CapNet accounts for the legislative affairs offices of the 
combatant commands and military services has been limited for 
years, challenging the ability of those offices to respond to 
the Congress in a timely manner.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence and Security, in consultation with the 
Director of National Intelligence, to provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than December 1, 
2022, on a plan to grow CapNet to meet forecasted executive and 
legislative branch requirements. The briefing shall identify 
the cost impacts and technical resources required to deliver a 
CapNet scaled to meet all objective requirements, to include 
specific resources required to establish and assure robust user 
account access for the legislative affairs offices of the 
combatant commands and military services. Lastly, the briefing 
shall present options for evolved CapNet program management in 
the future.

Briefing on Biological Posture Review

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, not later 
than 30 days after the completion of the Biological Posture 
Review, to provide a briefing to the congressional defense 
committees on a comprehensive review of the U.S. biological 
defense posture. In addition to developing a Department of 
Defense-wide strategy on biodefense, the committee encourages 
the Department of Defense (DOD) to consider the findings and 
recommendations identified in a Government Accountability 
Office (GAO) report published on February 28, 2022, titled 
``Biological Defense: Actions Needed to Strengthen DOD's 
Preparation for Responding to Emerging Threats'' (GAO-22-
104367SU).

Briefing on the treatment of financial institutions located on military 
        installations

    Department of Defense (DOD) policy treats credit unions and 
banks located on military installations differently. Credit 
unions are, as a matter of policy, allowed to operate on 
military installations without any requirement to reimburse the 
DOD for any facilities, utilities, or other expenses incurred 
by the DOD to support credit unions. Banks however, are 
required to pay the DOD in order to provide service to 
customers inside the gates of a military installation.
    Therefore, the committee requests the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing by March 1, 2023, to the committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
that includes:
          (1) The legal requirements governing how the DOD 
        handles financial institutions located on military 
        installations;
          (2) A description of the services provided by credit 
        unions and banks located on military installations;
          (3) An explanation of the policies pertaining to 
        credit unions and banks that operate on military 
        installations;
          (4) A justification for any differences in the DOD 
        policies that relate to credit unions and banks located 
        on military installations; and
          (5) Any other matters the Secretary considers 
        relevant.

Comptroller General report on Department of Defense counterdrug and 
        counter transnational criminal organizations operations

    The recently issued National Drug Control Strategy notes 
that transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) abroad produce 
the majority of illicit drugs consumed in the United States. 
The strategy also states that ``Large and influential TCOs pose 
a threat to our national security'' and that it is an 
Administration priority to effectively respond to TCOs' illicit 
manufacturing, trafficking and distribution methods. Department 
of Defense (DOD) witnesses before the Senate Armed Services 
Committee have described the DOD's role under current 
authorities in support of other agencies engaged in counterdrug 
and counter-TCO operations. The committee is concerned, 
however, that the flow of illegal drugs, including synthetic 
drugs, into the United States continues largely unabated, and 
DOD activities in support of interagency counterdrug and 
counter-TCO operations remain insufficiently prioritized as 
part of the National Defense Strategy.
    The committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to assess and report to the congressional defense 
committees, not later than April 30, 2023, on the DOD's 
authorities, roles, and responsibilities for counterdrug and 
counter-TCO operations. The report shall include: (1) A 
description of the DOD's statutory responsibilities and 
authorities for counterdrug and counter-TCO operations; (2) The 
roles of the various components within the DOD in meeting those 
responsibilities, including the Office of the Secretary of 
Defense, the geographic combatant commands, the Joint 
Interagency Task Force-South, Joint Interagency Task Force-
West, Joint Interagency Task Force-North, and the Defense 
Security Cooperation Agency; (3) An assessment of the 
effectiveness of the DOD in fulfilling those statutory 
responsibilities, including the level of coordination among the 
various components involved; (4) An assessment of efforts to 
build the capacity of partner nations to conduct or contribute 
to counterdrug operations; (5) A description of any changes in 
DOD counterdrug and counter-TCO operations intended to mitigate 
against and compensate for resource shortfalls; (6) A review of 
the use of the counterdrug central transfer account, including 
the purposes for which funds have been reprogrammed; (7) A 
review of the counterdrug budget activity, including by 
combatant command or agency, and an assessment of the extent to 
which those funds were used to contribute directly to the 
counterdrug mission, including along the following lines of 
effort: aerial and maritime detection and monitoring, domestic 
support, readiness, intelligence and information sharing, 
program management and oversight, and international support; 
and (8) Any recommendation of the Comptroller General for 
improving the effectiveness of the DOD's processes and 
procedures for carrying out the counterdrug and counter-TCO 
missions.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide an interim brief to the committee on the review not 
later than March 31, 2023.

Countering information warfare and foreign malign interest initiatives

    The committee is concerned that, given the implications of 
Russia's invasion of Ukraine and its propensity to conduct 
hybrid warfare operations, the United States may experience an 
increase in information warfare and malign influence campaigns 
from Russia and Russian proxies including during the 2022 
election season. Despite these circumstances, important 
initiatives from past years' National Defense Authorization 
Acts have not been implemented. The committee urges the 
Department of Defense to work with other relevant federal 
departments and agencies, as appropriate, to complete, 
implement, and fully operationalize:
          (1) Section 1043 of the John S. McCain National 
        Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public

Department of Defense next-generation electromagnetic spectrum 
        strategic roadmap

    The Department of Defense timelines for threat planning and 
the completion of Major Defense Acquisition Programs in 
response to such threats typically are on the order 10-20 
years. A central issue in such long-term acquisitions is 
certainty in the spectrum bands from which these systems must 
operate, both in the U.S. and abroad, thus requiring a roadmap 
for spectrum planning over these long timelines. The committee 
notes that this roadmap is intended to define, based on the 
global threat environment, warfighter spectrum requirements to 
support multi-domain operations against peer and near-peer 
threats. The committee believes that it is essential that the 
Department of Defense (DOD) account for these future 
requirements and standards as it develops future acquisition 
programs and training protocols. The committee notes that the 
2020 Department of Defense Electromagnetic Superiority Strategy 
states, ``The Nation has entered an age of warfighting wherein 
U.S. dominance in air, land, sea, space, cyberspace, and the 
electromagnetic spectrum (EMS) is challenged by peer and near 
peer adversaries. These challenges have exposed the cross-
cutting reliance of U.S. Forces on the EMS, and are driving a 
change in how the DOD approaches activities in the EMS to 
maintain an all-domain advantage.''
    The committee notes that the roadmap is intended to develop 
an understanding of the warfighter spectrum requirements 
necessary to be successful in future multi-domain warfighting 
operations to allow for the Department to proceed with future 
discussions with the National Telecommunications and 
Information Administration (NTIA). The committee understands 
that the NTIA manages the Federal government's use of spectrum, 
ensuring that America's domestic and international spectrum 
needs are met while making efficient use of this limited 
resource, and does not intend for this provision to imply that 
the Department has any authorities for Federal spectrum 
management. The committee also emphasizes that any additional 
Federal spectrum needs identified for the DOD would need to be 
coordinated with the NTIA, through their spectrum management 
process.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
not later than July 1, 2023, to prepare a strategic next-
generation warfighter EMS roadmap to provide recommendations to 
address the spectrum-related operational needs to support the 
mission of the Department.
    The strategic roadmap shall include the following:
          (1) A threat-informed roadmap for current and future 
        EMS-based technologies for warfighter operations that 
        aligns Department resources and helps set Department 
        priorities and improve agency, academia, and private 
        sector engagement with regard to research and 
        development, future acquisitions to support warfighter 
        operations, and military mission priorities that allows 
        for predictable, transparent, long-term EMS planning 
        and the appropriate use of spectrum-based technologies 
        by the Department;
          (2) Definition of adequate EMS resources for the 
        Department to support current and future warfighter 
        EMS-based technologies, including for Department 
        missions as part of statutory roles and 
        responsibilities under title 10, United States Code, 
        and other provisions of law that address the 
        Department's roles and responsibilities;
          (3) Challenges to current and future military 
        capabilities across the EMS to achieve United States 
        military readiness, integration across warfighting 
        domains, and increased lethality of United States armed 
        forces;
          (4) Forecast capabilities to ascertain the expected 
        EMS access requirements of all military users, 
        including those that advance national security and 
        changes that would be necessary to better exchange 
        information within the Department on projected needs of 
        other military users;
          (5) Potential gaps in processes and procedures within 
        the Department to promote current and future EMS-based 
        technologies for warfighter operations using federally 
        allocated spectrum, while advancing national security 
        and homeland defense missions;
          (6) Opportunities to promote advanced forms of 
        sharing between military users and on spectrum assigned 
        to the Department, including identifying spectrum that 
        can be shared for commercial use, to improve efficient 
        use of EMS by warfighters for current and future 
        warfighter EMS-based military technologies to advance 
        the Department's goal of maintaining military overmatch 
        against its adversaries;
          (7) Assessment of tools and other resources within 
        the Department required to process large quantities of 
        EMS data regarding military users in rapidly changing 
        EMS environments and to facilitate more dynamic forms 
        of sharing; and
          (8) Actions the Department can take to improve 
        communications and long-term planning with the NTIA on 
        the military operational effect of EMS policy 
        decisions.
    To the greatest extent practicable, the Secretary shall 
conduct outreach with relevant industry stakeholders and other 
entities of the Federal Government in developing the strategic 
roadmap.
    Not later than 30 days after the completion of the roadmap, 
the Secretary shall submit to the congressional defense 
committees a report on the strategic roadmap. The Secretary 
shall also submit such report to the NTIA to inform its 
responsibilities to manage spectrum for all executive branch 
agencies and to assign frequencies to such agencies. The report 
submitted shall include a strategy for regularly updating the 
strategic roadmap prepared under subsection (a) to reflect the 
fast pace of technological change, military end-user demands, 
and warfighter operational requirements. The report shall be 
submitted in unclassified form, but may include a classified 
annex.

Department of Defense study on spectrum relocation fund resources

    The committee is aware of and supports the robust efforts 
made by the Department of Defense over the last several years 
in working to enable electromagnetic sharing between the 
Department and commercial industry. The committee believes that 
ensuring the United States maintains the global lead in 
commercial telecommunications is essential to both our Nation's 
economic security and national security. The committee commends 
the Department's recent efforts under America's Mid-Band 
Initiative Team (AMBIT) to develop a spectrum-sharing plan to 
make 100 megahertz of mid-band spectrum currently used by the 
military available for sharing with the private sector for use 
in development of 5G technologies. The committee also commends 
the Department's efforts to develop this spectrum-sharing plan 
in an accelerated timeframe to accelerate the United States' 
move to 5G networks.
    However, the committee is concerned by the significant 
funds that were required to be reprogrammed within the 
Department's budget to support this effort. The committee 
believes that any efforts from the Department to support 
spectrum-sharing or spectrum relocation, such as AMBIT, should 
be funded by spectrum auction funds, not Department of Defense 
appropriated funds. Therefore, the committee directs the Chief 
Information Officer of the Department of Defense to provide a 
report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives, not later than March 1, 2023, 
that assesses the implications for the Department's access to 
the electromagnetic spectrum and resources in sections 113 and 
118 of the National Telecommunications and Information 
Administration Organization Act (47 U.S.C. 923, 928). The 
report shall also be provided to the National 
Telecommunications and Information Administration based on 
their responsibilities for managing the Federal Government's 
spectrum use.
    The report shall include an evaluation of how 
implementation challenges, access to adequate resources, and 
timely decisions relate to the implementation of such section 
118 and the Spectrum Relocation Fund, including the following: 
(1) A comprehensive assessment of the challenges faced by the 
Department regarding how such section and the Fund is currently 
being implemented, especially with respect to the availability 
of funds for feasibility assessments and continuity of 
resources between pre-auction study assessments and post-
auction transitions; (2) Identification of resources and any 
legislative or administrative action required to address 
sustainment relative to replacement of military capabilities 
and long-term sharing requirements following an auction of 
eligible electromagnetic frequencies. (3) Necessary factors to 
ensure comparable capability of Department systems to meet 
current operational requirements and increases in functionality 
when needed; (4) An assessment of procedural hurdles and 
recommended mitigation measures relating to the participation 
of the Department in the review process of the Technical Panel 
established by paragraph (3) of section 113(h) of such Act (47 
U.S.C. 923(h)) for transition plans under such section and for 
purposes of section 118 of such Act (47 U.S.C. 928); (5) 
Recommendations regarding challenges and lessons learned from 
overall implementation of such section 118 and the Spectrum 
Relocation Fund relative to the ability of military 
capabilities to continue without interruption as part of 
relocation or sharing solutions to enable an auction of federal 
electromagnetic frequencies.

Impact of general and flag officer limitations on allocations and 
        assignments to Defense attache positions

    The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 
(Public Law 114-328) included a provision that reduced the 
overall number of general and flag officers authorized to serve 
on Active Duty. The provision required a ``comprehensive and 
deliberate global manpower study of requirements for general 
and flag officers.'' As part of the Department of Defense's 
study, the RAND Corporation was tasked with conducting an 
independent study of general and flag officer position 
requirements.
    RAND's report, while thorough, specifically excluded from 
its analysis the allocation and assignment of general and flag 
officers to Defense attache positions. The report recommended 
the Department of Defense conduct a review of all Defense 
attache positions to determine where general and flag officers 
are needed. It does not appear that RAND's recommendation 
regarding Defense attache positions was ever attempted.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Deputy Secretary of 
Defense to conduct a review of all Defense attache positions to 
determine based on systematic criteria: (1) When general and 
flag officers are required in a Defense attache position; (2) 
Countries that should be assigned a general or flag officer 
Defense attache; and (3) Appropriate grades for these 
positions. The committee directs the Deputy Secretary of 
Defense to provide a briefing to the Committee on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on the 
results of this review and the overall status of the general 
and flag officer reduction requirement not later than December 
1, 2022.

Military lethality

    The committee believes that the primary purpose of the 
Department of Defense (DOD) is to provide combat-credible 
military forces needed to deter adversaries and protect the 
security of our nation. The most critical underpinning of 
integrated 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 DOD that does 
not directly augment the lethality, combat-readiness, or 
ability to generate deterrence of the Joint Force is outside 
the scope of the Department's mission. The committee encourages 
the DOD to utilize lethality as a primary consideration when 
determining and implementing department policies.

Report on application of Expeditionary Advanced Base Operations and 
        Stand-In Forces to the Arctic Region

    The committee commends the Army for its plans to develop 
and enhance Arctic expertise, including by improving individual 
and collective training of forces to operate in the region, as 
well as other mountainous and high-altitude environments, and 
enhancing cooperation and training with Arctic allies and 
partners.
    Given the Marine Corps' historic mission on the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization's northern flank, the committee 
believes that the Marine Corps has an important role to play in 
the Arctic. Not later than December 15, 2022, the Commandant of 
the Marine Corps shall provide a briefing to the congressional 
defense committees on the applicability of Expeditionary 
Advanced Base Operations and Stand-In Forces to the defense of 
U.S. interests in the Arctic region. This briefing shall 
address the U.S.-based training ranges suited to develop and 
test operational concepts relevant to Arctic operations, the 
ways in which the Marine Corps can partner with the other 
services, allies, and partners to enhance Arctic capabilities, 
and how the Marine Corps can contribute to domain awareness, 
sea denial, and regional stability in the Arctic region.

Report on critical infrastructure prioritization

    As threats to critical infrastructure have increased over 
the past years, including cyber intrusions into every critical 
infrastructure sector, the committee recognizes the importance 
of the Department of Defense's (DOD) role in protecting 
critical infrastructure in the event of an attack necessitating 
mobilization of either title 32 or title 10, United States 
Code, forces. However, the committee remains concerned that 
sufficient contingency planning has not been undertaken to 
determine the appropriate response and prioritization of 
critical infrastructure in the event of a physical or cyber 
event for Defense Continuity and Mission Assurance purposes.
    For this reason, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense, in consultation with the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Homeland Defense and Hemispheric Affairs, the Joint 
Staff, the Commander of U.S. Northern Command, the Commander of 
U.S. Cyber Command, the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, and 
other offices as the Secretary of Defense determines, to 
provide a report to the congressional defense committees, not 
later than March 31, 2023.
    The report should provide: (1) A description of the Office 
of the Secretary of Defense's work relating to Defense Critical 
Infrastructure; (2) A description of actions necessary for 
maintaining mission assurance and continuing operations of the 
Federal Government in accordance with established continuity of 
government/continuity of operations planning; (3) An assessment 
of the DOD's guidance for the prioritization and coordination 
of protection for critical infrastructure within the United 
States, including from cyber attacks; (4) A description of the 
DOD efforts to coordinate and maintain awareness of critical 
infrastructure prioritization across the interagency; and (5) 
Any other matters that the Secretary of Defense considers 
appropriate.

Special operations forces training accidents

    The committee is concerned by reports of significant 
training accidents involving special operations forces (SOF) 
personnel, including instances that have resulted in the tragic 
death of servicemembers. The committee understands and strongly 
supports the high training standards required to maintain SOF 
readiness, but recent internal Department of Defense studies 
have concluded that greater attention to high-risk training 
activities may be required to safely and effectively develop 
SOF skills. The committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to review significant training accidents 
involving SOF. At a minimum, the review shall include an 
analysis of the following:
          (1) Trends in reported training accidents involving 
        SOF personnel and causes associated with such training 
        accidents;
          (2) Any factors, including resource limitations, 
        identified by SOF units that may have hindered their 
        ability to safely conduct training;
          (3) The extent to which SOF personnel use existing 
        processes to promote safety and reduce risks during 
        training; and
          (4) The extent to which lessons learned from training 
        accidents have been effectively incorporated into 
        future training.
    The analysis shall also include recommendations, if any, to 
the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and 
Low Intensity Conflict and Commander, U.S. Special Operations 
Command, for mitigating the risk of training accidents in the 
future.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the committee on the results of the 
review, not later than March 1, 2023, and issue a report to 
follow at a time agreed to subsequent to the briefing.

Support for United States Telecommunication Training Institute

    The committee continues to be concerned with the growing 
use of high-risk telecommunications infrastructures by United 
States allies and partners, particularly in developing 
countries. The committee is aware of the United States 
Telecommunication Training Institute's efforts to empower 
developing country officials with the skills needed to manage 
their spectrum, deploy wireless technologies, develop national 
broadband plans, implement national cybersecurity strategies, 
support internet deployment, launch cloud services and ensure 
sound emergency communications plans all while working to 
support the rule of law.
    Therefore, not later than January 1, 2023, the Chief 
Information Officer of the Department of Defense shall provide 
a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 
and the House of Representatives on the activities of the 
Department undertaken to help provide technical training and 
information seminars to advance military readiness as part of 
the United States Telecommunication Training Institute (USTTI) 
objectives for supporting the training needs of information 
technology professionals who design, regulate, and oversee the 
communications infrastructures of the developing world.
    The briefing shall include recommendations for additional 
Department of Defense support for the advancement of U.S. 
national policy goals, including as part of agenda items under 
consideration at the International Telecommunication Union 
World Radiocommunication Conference 2023, including the 
following: (1) Recommendations for additional funding for 
Department programs to provide support for USTTI activities; 
and (2) Descriptions of additional assistance and guidance that 
the Chief Information Officer may provide for policy and 
technical training on best practices for information technology 
professionals from developing countries.

United States Northern Command report on counterdrug and counter 
        transnational criminal organization activities

    The Director of National Intelligence's Annual Threat 
Assessment emphasized that transnational criminal organizations 
(TCOs) pose ``a direct threat to the United States through 
human trafficking, the production and trafficking of lethal 
illicit drugs, cyber crime, and financial crimes and money 
laundering schemes eroding the integrity of the international 
financial system.'' The report further found that illicit drugs 
pose a threat ``at historic levels,'' with U.S. drug-overdoses 
exceeding more than 100,000 annually for the first time, which 
the report said was driven mainly by ``a robust supply of 
synthetic opioids from Mexican TCOs.'' The report further found 
that Mexican TCOs were likely to ``seek to continue expanding 
their capacity to produce finished fentanyl.''
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Commander, U.S. 
Northern Command (NORTHCOM), to submit, not later than March 
31, 2023, a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives on NORTHCOM's 
counterdrug and counter-transnational criminal organization (C-
TCO) activities. The report shall include the following 
elements:
          (1) The Commander's assessment of the threat within 
        the U.S. Northern Command area of responsibility 
        resulting from the flow of illicit drugs into the 
        United States;
          (2) The Commander's strategy, authorities, and 
        guidance to the force for the execution of the 
        counterdrug and counter-TCO missions;
          (3) The mission essential tasks to address the 
        Commander's threat assessment and strategy;
          (4) The metrics used to assess implementation of the 
        strategy and execution of mission essential tasks;
          (5) The budgetary funding for counterdrug activities 
        broken up by funding source and type;
          (6) The theater security cooperation plan and any 
        related partnership capacity building plans that 
        address the NORTHCOM strategy to conduct counterdrug 
        operations and counter-TCO activities;
          (7) The Commander's assessment of any shortfalls in 
        terms of capabilities and budgetary authority, and a 
        characterization of risk for implementing the strategy 
        and plans for counterdrug operations and counter-TCO 
        activities; and
          (8) The number of forces apportioned for these 
        mission areas from the services, to include 
        intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance assets, 
        by fiscal year since fiscal year 2019.

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a report annually through 2028 
to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
of Representatives on elements of its execution of the Cyber 
Excepted Service (CES) program covering the year prior to the 
report.
    The committee is concerned about the slow pace of adoption 
of the CES personnel system, which provides flexible 
authorities for managing and compensating personnel in this 
complex and demanding field. The CES was modeled on the proven 
Defense Civilian Intelligence Personnel System, which is used 
across the Defense Intelligence Enterprise to provide 
performance-based, mission-focused talent management. The 
committee strongly encourages the Department of Defense 
Component heads with personnel eligible for CES to provide 
incentives and overcome internal obstacles for wider adoption 
of CES.

                       Items of Special Interest


Civilian talent management

    The committee is aware of the Defense Business Board (DBB) 
report published May 18, 2022, titled ``Strengthening Defense 
Department Civilian Talent Management,'' and concurs with the 
need to ensure the Department of Defense (DOD) has a workforce 
with the skills required to support the National Defense 
Strategy. Development of the civilian workforce must be a 
priority in the Department of Defense and private-sector best 
practices can provide useful ideas to ensure future DOD 
civilian talent management practices recruit, retain, and 
reward high-quality employees.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Deputy Secretary of 
Defense to submit to the congressional defense committees, not 
later than December 1, 2022, a briefing on the feasibility of 
implementation of the DBB's key recommendations, including the 
resourcing or authorities required for implementation.

             TITLE XII--MATTERS RELATING TO FOREIGN NATIONS

                  Subtitle A--Assistance and Training

Extension of authority to support border security operations of certain 
        foreign countries (sec. 1201)
    The committee recommends a provision that would extend the 
authority to support border security operations of certain 
foreign countries through December 31, 2025.
Modification of reporting requirement for provision of support to 
        friendly foreign countries for conduct of operations (sec. 
        1202)
    The committee recommends a provision that would modify the 
reporting required under section 331(d)(2) of title 10, United 
States Code, to include a description of the entities with 
which the applicable friendly foreign country is engaged in 
hostilities and whether each entity is covered by an 
authorization for the use of military force.

Payment of personnel expenses necessary for participation in training 
        program conducted by Colombia under the United States-Colombia 
        Action Plan for Regional Security (sec. 1203)

    The committee recommends a provision that would permanently 
codify in title 10, United States Code, the authority provided 
on a temporary basis under section 1205 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81) for 
the Secretary of Defense to pay travel, subsistence, and other 
personnel expenses associated with the participation of certain 
foreign personnel in a training program conducted by Colombia 
under the U.S.-Colombia Action Plan for Regional Security.

Modification of authority for participation in multinational centers of 
        excellence (sec. 1204)

    The committee recommends a provision that would modify 
section 344(f) of title 10, United States Code, to add the 
International Special Training Centre (ISTC) in Pfullendorf, 
Germany, to the definition of the term, ``Multinational Center 
of Excellence,'' under that section. This amendment would allow 
the Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary 
of State, to support the participation of U.S. servicemembers 
and Department of Defense civilians at the ISTC for particular 
purposes.

Modification of Regional Defense Combating Terrorism and Irregular 
        Warfare Fellowship Program and plan for Irregular Warfare 
        Center (sec. 1205)

    The committee recommends a provision that would modify the 
authority under section 345 of title 10, United States Code, 
for the Regional Defense Combating Terrorism and Irregular 
Warfare Fellowship Program by adding the authority for the 
Secretary of Defense to operate and administer a Center for 
Security Studies in Irregular Warfare (``IW Center''). The 
provision would also clarify the authority of the Secretary to 
pay certain categories of costs associated with the IW Center 
and to hire employees of the Center, subject to appropriated 
funds. In anticipation of additional costs associated with 
operating and administrating the IW Center, the provision would 
raise the limitation on funds that may be used under the 
authority of this section by $5.0 million to $40.0 million. The 
provision would also require the Secretary of Defense to submit 
to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
of Representatives a plan for establishing the structure, 
operations, and administration of the IW Center, including a 
timeline, milestones, and steps to enter into partnerships and 
resource agreements with academic institutions of the 
Department of Defense or other academic institutions, as 
appropriate. The provision would also express the sense of the 
Senate that an IW Center established under this section should 
be named the ``John S. McCain III Center for Strategic Studies 
in Irregular Warfare.''
    The committee believes that a dedicated center for the 
study of irregular warfare could result in numerous benefits, 
including the development of innovative and agile approaches to 
prevail across the strategic competition and conflict spectrum 
and promoting integration across the Federal Government.

Modification of authority for humanitarian demining assistance and 
        stockpiled conventional munitions assistance (sec. 1206)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 407 of title 10, United States Code, which authorizes 
the Department of Defense to carry out humanitarian demining 
assistance and stockpiled conventional munitions assistance to 
foreign partners.
    The committee believes there are a number of opportunities 
for enhanced cooperation on demining, including a severe need 
in Ukraine in light of Russia's unprovoked military invasion. 
The threat of unexploded ordnance, mines, and other explosive 
remnants of war may impede the safe and timely return of 
displaced civilians, undermine efforts to rebuild Ukrainian 
infrastructure and the economy, and pose a long-term danger in 
Ukraine. The committee expects the modifications in this 
provision to be supportive of efforts to address such threats.

Extension and modification of authority for reimbursement of certain 
        coalition nations for support provided to United States 
        military operations (sec. 1207)

    The committee recommends a provision that would extend the 
authority for reimbursement of certain coalition nations for 
support provided to U.S. military operations through December 
31, 2023.

Modifications to humanitarian assistance (sec. 1208)

    The committee recommends a provision that would specify 
purposes for the humanitarian assistance authority under 
section 2561 of title 10, United States Code. The provision 
would also improve congressional oversight of the authority.

Defense Environmental International Cooperation Program (sec. 1209)

    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the Secretary of Defense to obligate and expend up to $10.0 
million per year to carry out a Defense Environmental 
International Cooperation Program to support engagement with 
foreign partners on defense-related environmental and 
operational energy issues in support of the theater campaign 
plans of the geographic combatant commands.

Security cooperation programs with foreign partners to advance women, 
        peace, and security (sec. 1210)

    The committee recommends a provision that would clarify the 
Department of Defense authorities available to execute security 
cooperation activities that further the implementation of the 
Women, Peace, and Security Act of 2017 (Public Law 115-68).

Review of implementation of prohibition on use of funds for assistance 
        to units of foreign security forces that have committed a gross 
        violation of human rights (sec. 1211)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to review the Department of Defense 
policies, guidance, and processes for implementing the 
prohibition under section 362 of title 10, United States Code, 
on the use of funds for assistance to units of foreign security 
forces for which the Secretary has credible information that 
the unit has committed a gross violation of human rights. The 
Secretary would be required to report to the congressional 
defense committees on the finding of that review not later than 
180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act. The 
provision would also require the Secretary of Defense to report 
periodically through fiscal year 2025 on the remediation 
process under section 362 of title 10, United States Code.

Independent assessment of United States efforts to train, advise, 
        assist, and equip the military forces of Somalia (sec. 1212)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require an 
independent assessment of Department of Defense efforts to 
train, advise, assist, and equip the military forces of 
Somalia.

Assessment and report on adequacy of authorities to provide assistance 
        to military and security forces in area of responsibility of 
        United States Africa Command (sec. 1213)

    The committee recommends a provision that would direct the 
Secretary of Defense to conduct an assessment and report on the 
adequacy of authorities to provide assistance to military and 
security forces in the area of responsibility of U.S. Africa 
Command (AFRICOM).
    The committee notes that the Commander, U.S. AFRICOM, 
testified on March 15, 2022, that ``terrorism has metastasized 
to Africa. Al-Qaida's al Shabaab in East Africa and ISIS and 
al-Qaida groups in West Africa and elsewhere are among the 
world's fastest-growing, wealthiest, and deadliest terrorist 
groups and remain grave and growing threats that aspire to kill 
Americans, both there and in our homeland.'' The committee 
believes it prudent for the Department of Defense to assess the 
adequacy of existing authorities to address these security 
threats with African partners.

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


Extension of authority to provide assistance to vetted Syrian groups 
        and individuals (sec. 1221)

    The committee recommends a provision that would extend the 
authority, through 2023, to provide assistance to vetted Syrian 
groups under section 1209 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), as amended. The committee is 
concerned about threats from Islamic State of Iraq and Syria 
(ISIS) detainees held in partner-run detention facilities. The 
February 2022 attack by ISIS militants on the detention 
facility in Hasakah, Syria, highlights the grave national 
security concern to the United States and its allies and 
partners if this threat goes unaddressed.
    To address this threat, the committee recommends the 
extension of the national security waiver for the Secretary of 
Defense on the costs of construction and repair on a per 
project basis through 2023. The committee notes, however, that 
the waiver authority provided in section 1221 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-
81) has not yet been utilized, and the committee has not been 
informed of a comprehensive plan to address these urgent 
concerns. The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a report, not later than December 15, 2022, on its 
plans to use the authorities provided in this section in fiscal 
year 2022 to assist partners to improve security at these 
detention facilities, including through the use of waivers 
provided for construction and repair on a per-project basis. 
The committee further notes that section 1224 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-
92) authorized the establishment of an ISIS detainee 
coordinator to oversee a whole-of-government approach to 
address this urgent national security threat. The position has 
not yet been established, and the committee urges the 
administration to appoint a coordinator as soon as possible.

Extension and modification of authority to support operations and 
        activities of the Office of Security Cooperation in Iraq (sec. 
        1222)

    The committee recommends a provision that would extend the 
authorization for the Office of Security Cooperation in Iraq. 
The committee notes that the long stated goal of the Department 
of Defense is to transition the Office to conduct activities in 
a manner that is similar to other regional security cooperation 
offices. The committee further notes that the authorization for 
funding is restricted as the Department has not provided a 
fulsome plan as to how to transition the Office to align with 
this goal.

Extension and modification of authority to provide assistance to 
        counter the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (sec. 1223)

    The committee recommends a provision that would extend the 
authority to provide assistance to Iraq to counter the Islamic 
State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) through December 31, 2023. The 
committee supports continued assistance to the Iraqi Security 
Forces, including the Counter Terrorism Service and the 
Ministry of Peshmerga, in order to continue operations to 
ensure the lasting defeat of ISIS. The committee also 
recommends the extension of the national security waiver for 
the Secretary of Defense on the costs of construction and 
repair on a per project basis for purposes of support to Iraqi 
government partners related to temporary and humane detention 
through 2023. The committee notes, however, that the waiver 
authority provided in section 1223 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81) was 
to respond to urgent threats stemming from ISIS fighters 
detained in partner-run detention facilities in Iraq and Syria. 
This authority has not yet been utilized and the committee has 
not been informed of a comprehensive plan to address these 
urgent concerns. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary 
of Defense to provide a report, not later than December 15, 
2022, on plans to use the authorities provided in such section 
to assist the Government of Iraq to improve security at these 
detention facilities, including through the use of the waivers 
provided for construction and repair on a per-project basis.

Assessment of support to Iraqi Security Forces and Kurdish Peshmerga 
        Forces to counter air and missile threats (sec. 1224)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a report that would assess: (1) 
The threat of missiles, rockets, and unmanned aerial systems 
(UAS) to United States and coalition forces in Iraq, including 
the Iraqi Kurdistan region; (2) The current air defense 
capabilities and gaps; and (3) The required training and 
equipment to improve air defense capabilities. Additionally, 
the provision would direct an assessment of the current state 
of partner forces capabilities and gaps and required training 
and equipment to improve air defense capabilities. The 
committee strongly supports continued efforts by the Kurdish 
Peshmerga to deepen their partnership with Iraqi Security 
Forces and the United States and to counter shared air and 
missile threats.
    The committee strongly supports extending assistance to the 
Iraqi Security Forces, including Kurdish Peshmerga Forces, for 
the purposes authorized in the Counter-ISIS Train and Equip 
Fund, including for defending Iraq, its people, allies, and 
partner nations from the threat posed by the Islamic State of 
Iraq and Syria (ISIS) and groups supporting ISIS and securing 
the territory of Iraq. The committee commends the ongoing 
efforts of the Kurdish Peshmerga to degrade ISIS.

Updates to annual report on military power of Iran (sec. 1225)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend the 
annual report on the military power of Iran to include an 
assessment of threats from Iranian-linked groups.
    The committee is concerned about the uptick in violence 
from Iranian-linked groups throughout the region, including 
from Iranian-aligned militia groups against United States and 
coalition forces in Iraq and Syria. In addition, not later than 
December 15, 2022, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to provide an overview of the current rules of 
engagement of United States forces with regards to efforts to 
defend and mitigate threats to United States forces from 
Iranian-aligned militia groups in Iraq and Syria.

   Subtitle C--Matters Relating to Europe and the Russian Federation


Modification of limitation on military cooperation between the United 
        States and the Russian Federation (sec. 1231)

    The committee recommends a provision that would modify 
section 1232(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) to extend the limitation 
on military cooperation between the United States and the 
Russian Federation until certain conditions established by the 
FY2017 NDAA are met.

Extension of prohibition on availability of funds relating to 
        sovereignty of the Russian Federation over Crimea (sec. 1232)

    The committee recommends the extension of a provision to 
prohibit funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act for 
fiscal year 2023 for the Department of Defense from being 
obligated or expended to implement any activity that recognizes 
the sovereignty of the Russian Federation over Crimea.

Extension and modification of Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative 
        (sec. 1233)

    The committee recommends a provision that would extend 
through December 31, 2025, the authority provided under section 
1250 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2016 (Public Law 114-92), for the Secretary of Defense, with 
the concurrence of the Secretary of State, to provide 
appropriate security assistance and intelligence support, 
including training, equipment, logistics support, supplies and 
services, salaries and stipends, and sustainment to the 
military and national security forces of the Government of 
Ukraine and to other forces or groups recognized by, and under 
the authority of, the Government of Ukraine. The provision 
would authorize $800.0 million in fiscal year 2023 to provide 
security assistance to Ukraine via this authority.
    The committee recognizes the dynamic nature of the security 
situation in Ukraine requires that the Department have a 
variety of authorities at its disposal to support Ukraine's 
Armed Forces. The Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative (USAI) 
is essential, both in the immediate fight against Russia 
aggression and as part of the longer-term effort to support the 
Ukrainian government's efforts to rebuild and enhance the 
military capabilities needed to maintain their sovereignty and 
defend their territory. In recognition of the need to carry out 
these two efforts, Congress has appropriated $6.3 billion in 
USAI funds through fiscal year 2023.

North Atlantic Treaty Organization Special Operations Headquarters 
        (sec. 1234)

    The committee recommends a provision that would codify in 
title 10, United States Code, the authority of the Secretary of 
Defense to support the North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
Special Operations Headquarters.

Report on United States military force posture and resourcing 
        requirements in Europe (sec. 1235)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional 
defense committees, not later than 120 days after the date of 
enactment of this Act, containing an assessment of the required 
force posture, partner and ally engagements, and resourcing 
needed to implement the National Defense Strategy in Europe and 
U.S. commitments to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization made 
at the June 2022 Madrid Summit. The report shall also include 
the resources and estimated timelines required to meet those 
requirements.

Sense of the Senate and report on civilian harm (sec. 1236)

    The committee recommends a provision that would express the 
sense of the Senate that the United States goes to great 
lengths to minimize the prospect of civilian harm, in contrast 
to the Russian Federation, which has shown a complete disregard 
for civilian safety in Ukraine. The provision would also 
require a report on atrocities committed against Ukrainian 
civilians by the Russian Federation.

Sense of the Senate on the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (sec. 
        1237)

    The committee recommends a provision that would express the 
sense of the Senate that the United States' commitment to the 
North Atlantic Treaty Organization is ironclad and would 
emphasize the importance of maintaining a unified response to 
Russia's unjust war in Ukraine and other shared security 
challenges.

Sense of the Senate on Ukraine (sec. 1238)

    The committee recommends a provision that would express the 
sense of the Senate that the United States stands with the 
people of Ukraine as they defend their freedom, sovereignty, 
and pursuit of further Euro-Atlantic integration.

        Subtitle D--Matters Relating to the Indo-Pacific Region


Extension and modification of Pacific Deterrence Initiative (sec. 1241)

    The committee recommends a provision that would extend the 
Pacific Deterrence Initiative, authorized by section 1251 of 
the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283), as amended, 
through fiscal year 2023.
    The committee notes that the National Defense Strategy, the 
Global Posture Review, and the independent assessment of the 
Commander, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, all emphasize the 
importance of a strong U.S. military posture west of the 
International Date Line for helping to ensure a free and open 
Indo-Pacific region. The committee strongly supports 
investments to improve facilities and infrastructure necessary 
to support a more robust and distributed military posture in 
the Indo-Pacific region and commends the Department of Defense 
for including additional funding in the fiscal year 2023 budget 
request to advance the planning and design of new facilities in 
the region.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, as part of 
the briefing required by section 1251 of the William M. (Mac) 
Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2021, as amended, to provide an assessment of the feasibility 
and advisability of accelerating infrastructure investments in 
the Indo-Pacific region.

Extension of authority to transfer funds for Bien Hoa dioxin cleanup 
        (sec. 1242)

    The committee recommends a provision that would extend the 
authority of the Secretary of Defense to transfer up to $15.0 
million to the Secretary of State for the Bien Hoa dioxin 
cleanup in Vietnam through fiscal year 2023.

Modification of Indo-Pacific Maritime Security Initiative to authorize 
        use of funds for the Coast Guard (sec. 1243)

    The committee recommends a provision that would modify the 
Indo-Pacific Maritime Security Initiative (MSI), authorized by 
section 1263 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), as amended, to authorize 
the Secretary of Defense to utilize funds under the authority 
to facilitate participation of U.S. Coast Guard personnel and 
capabilities in the execution of training, exercises, and other 
activities with foreign partners under the MSI. The recommended 
provision would also remove the limitation on funding under the 
authority.
    The committee notes many U.S. foreign partners in the Indo-
Pacific region face increasing challenges to their sovereignty, 
encroachment, and harassment in the maritime domain. The 
committee notes that the MSI is a tool that can be used by the 
Department of Defense as a means to develop the capabilities of 
foreign partners to detect and, if necessary, respond to such 
challenges, including through asymmetric defensive means. The 
committee encourages the Department to prioritize low-cost 
transfers of technology, equipment, and training to help 
foreign partners respond to such challenges and would welcome a 
proposal to modify current authorities and resourcing should 
the Department deem them insufficient to support the objectives 
of MSI.

Defense of Taiwan (sec. 1244)

    The committee recommends a provision that would state that, 
consistent with the Taiwan Relations Act (Public Law 96-8), it 
shall be the policy of the United States to maintain the 
ability of the United States Armed Forces to deny a fait 
accompli against Taiwan in order to deter the People's Republic 
of China from using military force to unilaterally change the 
status quo with Taiwan.

Multi-year plan to fulfill defensive requirements of military forces of 
        Taiwan and modification of annual report on Taiwan asymmetric 
        capabilities and intelligence support (sec. 1245)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of 
State and American Institute in Taiwan, to seek to engage with 
appropriate officials from Taiwan to develop and implement a 
multiyear plan to provide for the acquisition of appropriate 
defensive capabilities by Taiwan and to engage with Taiwan in a 
series of combined trainings, exercises, and planning 
activities, consistent with the Taiwan Relations Act (Public 
Law 96-8). The provision would also amend the annual reporting 
requirement on assistance to Taiwan contained in section 1248 
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 
(Public Law 117-81) to include plans for expedited military 
assistance to Taiwan in the event of a crisis or conflict and 
other related matters.

Enhancing major defense partnership with India (sec. 1246)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to direct appropriate personnel within the 
Department of Defense to seek to engage their counterparts 
within the Ministry of Defence of India for the purpose of 
expanding cooperation on emerging technology, readiness, and 
logistics. The provision would also require the Secretary of 
Defense to provide a briefing to the appropriate committees of 
the Congress on the feasibility and advisability of expanding 
cooperation with the Ministry of Defence of India on various 
specified topics and the challenges in doing so.

Enhanced indications and warning for deterrence and dissuasion (sec. 
        1247)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) to establish 
a program to increase warning time of potential aggression by 
adversary nation states.
    The committee notes that preventing a major conflict in the 
Indo-Pacific region through deterrence and dissuasion is 
critically important for national security and economic 
stability. Peer adversaries appear to have the ability to 
launch major military operations on short notice, and may try 
to do so in part in the hope of presenting the United States 
and the world at large with a fait accompli. The committee 
believes that it is very important to make concerted efforts to 
gain more warning time of adversary plans to launch military 
campaigns to provide leaders more decision space. The 
intelligence community (IC) provided substantial advance 
warning of Russia's plans to invade Ukraine, which provided 
time for the United States and allied leaders to mount 
deterrence and dissuasion efforts to persuade the Russian 
President to change his mind. While ultimately unsuccessful in 
this instance, the value of gaining warning time for diplomacy 
and for military preparations has been clearly demonstrated.
    Additionally, the committee notes that during the Cold War, 
when faced with similar short-warning threats, the IC created 
the position of National Intelligence Officer for Warning. This 
office was eliminated after the Cold War. This provision, in 
directing the creation of the position of Defense Intelligence 
Officer for Warning and a warning program within the DIA, would 
again focus attention and appropriate resources on the warning 
problem.
    The committee believes that a warning program could exploit 
many new sources of comprehensive information, to which 
statistical tools and advanced analytics, including artificial 
intelligence, can be applied to provide patterns of life, 
identification of deviations from normal behavior, and a 
comprehensive view of adversaries' posture.

Pilot program to develop young civilian defense leaders in the Indo-
        Pacific region (sec. 1248)

    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the Secretary of Defense to carry out a pilot program, using 
existing authorities available to the Department of Defense, to 
enhance engagement of the Department of Defense with young 
civilian defense and security leaders in the Indo-Pacific 
region.
    The committee believes engagement with civilian leadership 
of foreign partner ministries of defense or other ministries 
with a national security mission is critical to strengthening 
bilateral and multilateral relationships in the Indo-Pacific 
region. Currently, many countries in the Indo-Pacific region 
and elsewhere lack formal training for civilians on defense and 
security issues and managing the defense enterprise in their 
country. This lack of professionalization and substantive 
expertise hinders international cooperation as well as 
effective civilian oversight of the military. The committee 
believes the Department of Defense should utilize existing 
authorities and the expertise of the Daniel K. Inouye Asia-
Pacific Center for Security Studies, the Institute for Security 
Governance, the Defense Institute of International Legal 
Studies, and other relevant personnel within the Department to 
engage young civilian defense leaders from foreign partner 
countries for the purposes of enhancing bilateral and 
multilateral cooperation and building the capacity of young 
civilian leaders to promote civilian control of the military, 
respect for human rights, and adherence to the law of armed 
conflict.
    The committee notes that there are non-governmental 
entities that have similar missions and expertise in engaging 
and training young civilian defense leaders from Indo-Pacific 
partner countries. The committee encourages the Department of 
Defense to consult non-governmental entities with relevant 
expertise in support of the pilot program's mission.

Cross-functional team for matters relating to the People's Republic of 
        China (sec. 1249)

    The committee recommends a provision that would direct the 
Secretary of Defense to establish a cross-functional team to 
integrate Department of Defense efforts to address national 
security challenges posed by China using the authority provided 
pursuant to section 911(c) of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328).

Report on bilateral agreements supporting United States military 
        posture in the Indo-Pacific region (sec. 1250)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense, not later than 180 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, to provide the congressional defense 
committees a report on the adequacy of existing bilateral 
agreements with foreign governments that support United States 
existing and planned military posture in the Indo-Pacific 
region.

Sense of the Senate on supporting prioritization of the People's 
        Republic of China, the Indo-Pacific Region, and Taiwan (sec. 
        1251)

    The committee recommends a provision that would express the 
sense of the Senate supporting prioritization of the People's 
Republic of China, the Indo-Pacific region, and Taiwan by the 
Department of Defense.

Sense of Congress on defense alliances and partnerships in the Indo-
        Pacific region (sec. 1252)

    The committee recommends a provision that would express the 
sense of Congress on the importance of defense alliances and 
partnerships in the Indo-Pacific region.

Prohibition on use of funds to support entertainment projects with ties 
        to the Government of the People's Republic of China (sec. 1253)

    The committee recommends a provision that would prohibit 
the use of funds authorized by this Act from being used to 
knowingly provide active and direct support to any film, 
television, or other entertainment project with respect to 
which any producer or other person associated with the project 
seeks pre-approval of the content of the project or modifies 
the content of the project as a result of direction from any 
entity of the Government of the People's Republic of China or 
the Chinese Communist Party.

                          Subtitle E--Reports


Report on Fifth Fleet capabilities upgrades (sec. 1261)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a report on capabilities 
upgrades, and the cost of such upgrades, necessary to enable 
the Fifth Fleet to address emerging threats in its area of 
responsibility.
    The committee is concerned about the ability of United 
States, ally, and partner forces in the Middle East to share 
information in a timely and coherent manner regarding seaborne 
threats. Strengthening maritime domain awareness in the waters 
in and around the broader Middle East will enable the United 
States and partner naval forces to deter and defend against 
Iran's seaborne attacks, naval harassment and other 
provocations. The committee recommends that the Commander, U.S. 
Central Command, take steps to deepen the shared understanding 
of regional maritime threats between United States, ally, and 
partner naval forces, including by coordinating and fusing 
intelligence with partner forces, enhancing the ability of 
United States and partner forces to rapidly deploy 
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities, 
and incorporating Israel into the Combined Maritime Forces.

                       Subtitle F--Other Matters


Prohibition on participation in offensive military operations against 
        the Houthis in Yemen (sec. 1271)

    The committee recommends a provision that would prohibit 
support for the Saudi-led coalition's offensive operations 
against the Houthis in Yemen.
    The committee condemns the Houthis' ongoing malign behavior 
in the region, including missile and unmanned aerial systems 
attacks. The committee notes its support for measures to defend 
Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and other coalition 
partners against Houthi attacks elsewhere in this Act and 
further notes that nothing in this provision would prohibit 
defensive support to counter such threats.

Extension of authority for United States-Israel cooperation to counter 
        unmanned aerial systems (sec. 1272)

    The committee recommends a provision to extend the 
authority for United States-Israel cooperation to counter 
unmanned aerial systems through December 31, 2026.

Extension of authority for certain payments to redress injury and loss 
        (sec. 1273)

    The committee recommends a provision that would extend 
section 1213 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) through December 31, 2024.

Modification of Secretary of Defense Strategic Competition Initiative 
        (sec. 1274)

    The committee recommends a provision that would clarify the 
authority under section 1332 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81) for 
the Secretary of Defense to fund Department of Defense 
activities and programs that advance U.S. national security 
objectives for strategic competition.
    The committee recognizes that strategic competition below 
the threshold of armed conflict is a critical component of the 
U.S. National Defense Strategy. The committee urges the 
Secretary of Defense to prioritize, through the Strategic 
Competition Initiative, activities and programs that support 
U.S. strategic objectives in competing with near-peer rivals.
    The committee also notes that section 1332 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 required the 
development and submission of plans for strategic competition 
initiatives for U.S. Southern Command (SOUTHCOM) and U.S. 
Africa Command (AFRICOM). The committee reiterates its 
continuing concern about the malign influence and activities of 
near-peer rivals the People's Republic of China and the Russian 
Federation in the areas of responsibility (AOR) of SOUTHCOM and 
AFRICOM and urges the Secretary of Defense to act expeditiously 
to develop and implement strategic competition initiatives in 
these AORs.

Assessment of challenges to implementation of the partnership among 
        Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States (sec. 
        1275)

    The committee recommends a provision that would direct the 
Secretary of Defense to seek to enter into an agreement with a 
federally funded research and development center to conduct an 
independent assessment of resourcing, policy, and process 
challenges to implementing the partnership among Australia, the 
United Kingdom, and the United States, commonly known as the 
AUKUS partnership.

    The committee expresses its sincere condolences to the 
families, loved ones, and friends of the 13 American 
servicemembers who were killed during the August 26, 2021, ISIS 
Khorasan attack on Abbey Gate at Hamid Karzai International 
Airport in Kabul while trying to assist the evacuation of their

        Tennessee The committee honors the bravery and 
        sacrifice of these American heroes.

Afghanistan demining

    The committee is concerned about the threat to civilian 
life from unexploded ordnance in Afghanistan, and would like to 
assess whether there is relevant publicly releasable 
information the Department of Defense (DOD) could provide to 
assist humanitarian demining organizations in Afghanistan.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than 
December 15, 2022, on the information that the DOD can readily 
provide to humanitarian demining organizations in Afghanistan 
to assist demining efforts, the time and resources required to 
assess whether United States or coalition strikes in 
Afghanistan resulted in unexploded ordinance, and whether it is 
possible to assess the percentage of unexploded ordnance that 
is the consequence of Taliban, al-Qaida, or Islamic State of 
Iraq and Syria-Khorasan hostilities.

Assessment of Iran sanctions relief on terrorist activities under the 
        Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action

    The committee is concerned that the Iranian government 
could use any sanctions relief that it receives under the Joint 
Comprehensive Plan of Action to increase the budget of the 
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, which is the institution 
through which the Iranian government supports terrorist groups 
worldwide, which will in turn significantly increase the risk 
to U.S. forces in the U.S. Central Command area of 
responsibility and affect implementation of the 2022 National 
Defense Strategy.
    Therefore, not later than December 1, 2022, the committee 
directs the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency and the 
Commander, U.S. Central Command, to provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees, in an unclassified setting 
with a classified component if necessary, on the extent to 
which it assesses Iran would use sanctions relief to bolster 
its support for Iranian-linked groups across the Middle East 
and U.S. Central Command's requirements for deterring and 
countering increased malign behavior from such groups.

Assessments of will to fight of foreign forces

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense has 
sought continuously to improve and innovate, including learning 
lessons from the wars fought in Iraq and Afghanistan and 
applying those lessons to competition and future conflict. The 
committee is interested in the ability of military commanders 
to assess the qualitative characteristics of a foreign 
combatant force's will to fight. Recent examples of 
intelligence assessments of this factor in Afghanistan and in 
Ukraine serve as case studies for showing the challenges in 
assessing this aspect of warfare, which can have significant 
policy and political implications.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the committee, not later than January 31, 2023, 
regarding the Department's efforts to improve its ability to 
provide reliable assessments of the will to fight of foreign 
combat forces that receive U.S. security assistance, to include 
potential metrics that can be used and additional methods and 
resources required to collect relevant information and assess 
this aspect of foreign forces' capabilities.

Black Sea strategy

    The committee is concerned that even as Russia continues 
its invasion of Ukraine, it has continued to target all 
countries in the Black Sea region as part of its revanchist 
attempt to subvert democracies and reconstitute a Soviet-era 
sphere of influence. Russia is also suppressing freedom of 
navigation in the Black Sea region, suffocating Ukraine's 
economy, and triggering a global food security crisis.
    Given the threats posed by Russia to the region, United 
States defense commitments to regional North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization allies, and its geographic significance for 
passage between Europe and Asia, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense, no later than January 1, 2023, to provide 
the congressional defense committees with a briefing on 
Department of Defense (DOD) posture, security cooperation, and 
military-to-military engagement in the Black Sea region. The 
briefing should, at a minimum, include a discussion on the 
priority security assistance efforts with Black Sea allies and 
partners; military educational training; planned or in-
development military exercises; efforts to work with regional 
allies and partners to counter Russian hybrid warfare and 
malign influence activities; and any changes to such efforts 
guided by the National Defense Strategy issued on March 28, 
2022. The committee notes that such efforts will only be 
successful if they are part of a robust whole-of-government 
approach to the region. As such, the briefing should also 
address how the DOD efforts are integrated with and supportive 
to the interagency strategy in the Black Sea region.

Briefing on energy imports of the People's Republic of China

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in 
consultation with the commanders of the geographic combatant 
commands and the head of any other relevant Federal agency, as 
appropriate, to provide the congressional defense committees a 
briefing on the energy imports of the People's Republic of 
China, not later than December 1, 2022. For the purposes of 
this briefing, the term ``covered vessel'' means a commercial 
vessel sailing under the flag of the People's Republic of China 
capable of transporting oil or liquefied natural gas. At a 
minimum, the briefing shall include an analysis of:
          (1) The number of covered vessels;
          (2) The number of covered vessels that transit 
        through the South and East China Seas annually;
          (3) The annual percentage of energy imports by the 
        People's Republic of China that transit through the 
        South and East China Seas on covered vessels;
          (4) The extent to which covered vessels are escorted 
        or otherwise supported by the People's Liberation Army-
        Navy or maritime militia of the People's Republic of 
        China;
          (5) The annual percentage of energy imports by the 
        People's Republic of China that transit through the 
        South and East China Seas on commercial vessels under 
        the flag of a country other than the People's Republic 
        of China;
          (6) The maritime lines of communication in the South 
        and East China Seas that are most important to the 
        ability of the People's Republic of China's to import 
        oil and liquefied natural gas; and
          (7) Any other matters deemed relevant by the 
        Secretary.

Briefing on engagement with Pacific Island Countries

    The committee recognizes that the Pacific Island Countries 
(PICs) are key partners for maintaining a free and open Indo-
Pacific region and notes with concern expanded engagement with, 
and coercion of, the PICs by the People's Republic of China in 
recent years. The United States has significant national 
security interests in the Indo-Pacific region and the committee 
commends multilateral efforts by the United States and other 
allies, including Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, to address 
our shared interests with PIC partners. The committee believes 
it is critical for the United States to foster long-term, 
sustainable relationships in the region that are based on 
continuity and regular engagement.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Indo-Pacific Security Affairs to provide the 
committee with a briefing, not later than December 1, 2022, 
that details the Department of Defense's multiyear plans for 
engagement with PIC partners and any current impediments to 
such engagement. This briefing shall include a description of 
multilateral engagement by the United States and other regional 
partners, including Australia, New Zealand, and Japan, with PIC 
partners, as well as Chinese threats to the PICs, the United 
States, and our regional partners and allies.

Briefing on National Guard Special Operations Forces Irregular Warfare 
        Training

    The committee notes that implementation of the 2022 
National Defense Strategy requires the continued development of 
special operations forces to address destabilizing efforts by 
malign nations and non-state entities. The committee also notes 
that combined training and other engagement opportunities with 
trusted allies and partners, including the annual Ridge Runner 
Irregular Warfare Training Activity, are important tools for 
building interoperability and the capabilities necessary to 
address irregular warfare challenges.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for 
Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict and the Chief of 
the National Guard Bureau, to provide a classified briefing to 
the congressional defense committees not later than February 1, 
2023, that includes: (1) A description of National Guard 
Special Operations Forces efforts relating to irregular warfare 
training provided to foreign nations in the State Partnership 
Program, including the Ridge Runner Irregular Warfare Training 
Activity; (2) An assessment of the effectiveness of this 
training activity in developing interoperability with, and the 
capabilities of foreign allies and partners; (3) 
Recommendations for the expansion of this training activity to 
realistically simulate all domain and full mission profile 
activities; and (4) Recommendations on any additional staffing 
or funding for these training activities in future years.

Building partner capacity for information operations

    The committee notes that the recent conflict between 
Ukraine and Russia has demonstrated the importance of a robust 
and active information operations (IO) strategy to help inform 
the international community and shape public opinion. The 
committee believes there are significant opportunities to 
responsibly assist foreign partners in the conduct of IO. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Policy, as the Principal IO Advisor, to provide a briefing 
to the congressional defense committees, not later than 
December 31, 2022, detailing the Department of Defense's 
efforts to build the capacity of foreign partners to 
responsibly and effectively conduct IO. At a minimum, the 
briefing shall include:
          (1) An identification of priority foreign partner 
        forces for IO capacity building efforts;
          (2) An analysis of the feasibility and advisability 
        of using existing authorities to build the IO capacity 
        of foreign partners to conduct IO, including:
                  (a) the building partner capacity authority 
                under section 333 of title 10, United States 
                Code;
                  (b) Joint Combined Exchange Training under 
                section 322 of title 10, United States Code; 
                and
                  (c) the Regional Defense Combating Terrorism 
                and Irregular Warfare Fellowship Program under 
                section 345 of title 10, United States Code; 
                and
          (3) A description of efforts to build the 
        institutional capacity of foreign partners and ensure 
        respect for the law of armed conflict, human rights and 
        fundamental freedoms, the rule of law, and civilian 
        control of the military in IO.

Captagon trade

    The committee is concerned about the Captagon trade in the 
Middle East, which has been linked to the regime of Bashar al-
Assad of Syria. The committee further notes the implications of 
the Captagon trade on the national security of the United 
States and its allies and partners in the Middle East. The 
committee urges the Department of Defense to work with the 
Department of State and other appropriate government agencies 
to develop a strategy to deny, degrade, and dismantle the 
Assad-linked narcotics production and trafficking network. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees, and 
other committees as appropriate, not later than December 15, 
2022, on progress in developing such a strategy.

Counterterrorism operations in Afghanistan

    The committee remains concerned about the threats from al-
Qaida, ISIS Khorasan, and other terrorist groups operating in 
Afghanistan. The committee affirms the need for a robust 
counterterrorism architecture to ensure that Afghanistan cannot 
be used as a base to conduct attacks against the United States 
or its allies. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary 
of Defense, as part of the quarterly briefings required by 
section 1092 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81), to address the following 
issues:
          (1) The status, as of the date on which the briefing 
        is provided, of any ongoing review of counterterrorism 
        policy carried out by the Department of Defense;
          (2) The role of the Department in any ongoing 
        interagency deliberations on updated guidance with 
        respect to counterterrorism policy;
          (3) Any guidance provided by the Department relating 
        to the conduct of counterterrorism operations in 
        Afghanistan;
          (4) The types and amounts of intelligence, 
        surveillance, and reconnaissance coverage used over the 
        covered period;
          (5) Ongoing and planned efforts to improve 
        intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance and 
        direct action capabilities to specifically address 
        threats in Afghanistan; and
          (6) Efforts to secure basing or access agreements 
        with countries neighboring Afghanistan.

Department of Defense rule of law capacity building

    The committee recognizes that a critical element of 
Department of Defense (DOD) efforts globally to build the 
capacity of foreign security forces and institutions are 
programs to promote the observance of, and respect for, the 
rule of law and the law of armed conflict. Given the challenges 
for promoting the rule of law through DOD security cooperation 
around the globe, the committee encourages the Department to 
collaborate with academia and university centers with proven 
experience in training foreign government audiences on rule of 
law initiatives. Additionally, the committee encourages the 
Department to engage with academia and university centers to 
develop strong anticorruption and transparency programming to 
continue promoting the rule of law worldwide.

Government Accountability Office report on military aid to Ukraine

    The committee supports continued investment in European 
security, including robust defense support to the Ukrainian 
government. The committee notes that the United States Congress 
has authorized and appropriated significant resources to 
support the Ukrainian government in their fight for democracy 
and against unprovoked Russian aggression. Ukraine has received 
security assistance through Presidential Drawdown Authority and 
appropriated funds. As the conflict has evolved the Department 
of Defense (DOD) has provided more advanced defense equipment 
to Ukraine, in addition to increasing previously provided 
equipment. The committee notes that with the increase in the 
quality and sophistication of defense equipment provided, there 
is a need for greater efforts to monitor and ensure 
accountability for such items. Therefore, the committee directs 
the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a 
review of the allocation and use of security assistance in 
Ukraine. At a minimum, the review should:
          (1) Assess the timeliness and relevance of security 
        assistance, including equipment, training, and advisory 
        services the DOD has provided to Ukrainian security 
        forces and associated funding for such efforts since 
        January 1, 2022;
          (2) Assess to what extent and by what systems and 
        processes the DOD is tracking equipment provided to 
        Ukraine;
          (3) Assess to what extent and by what systems and 
        processes the DOD is mitigating against proliferation 
        of provided equipment, including any technical means by 
        which the DOD may protect against unauthorized use of 
        such equipment; and
          (4) Any other matters deemed relevant by the 
        Comptroller General.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide an interim brief to the committee on the review no 
later than December 1, 2022, and issue a report to follow at a 
time agreed to subsequent to the briefing.

Report on the ramifications of an invasion of Taiwan by China

    The committee notes that the Taiwan Relations Act (Public 
Law 96-8) states that ``any effort to determine the future of 
Taiwan by other than peaceful means'' is ``a threat to the 
peace and security of the Western Pacific Area and of grave 
concern to the United States'' and believes that a People's 
Republic of China (PRC) military takeover of Taiwan would pose 
significant geopolitical risk for the United States and our 
allies and partners in the region.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Director of the 
Defense Intelligence Agency, not later than March 1, 2023, to 
provide the congressional defense committees with an assessment 
of the strategic ramifications of a successful or unsuccessful 
military invasion of Taiwan by the PRC for the United States as 
well as our partners and allies, including Japan and Australia. 
The required report may be submitted in classified form, but 
should also be accompanied by an unclassified summary free of 
handling restrictions.

Security cooperation programming for Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania

    The committee recognizes the significant contributions the 
nations of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania have made as members 
of the international coalition supporting the Government of 
Ukraine and its citizens in response to the Russian 
Federation's illegal and unprovoked war. As the Department of 
Defense assesses security cooperation programming in fiscal 
year 2023, to include programming collectively referred to as a 
Baltic Security Initiative, the committee expects substantial 
attention to be paid to those countries most directly affected 
by the ongoing security threats to the North Atlantic Treaty 
Organization's eastern flank posed by Russian aggression. In 
addition, priority should be given, as appropriate, to 
countries in need of assistance in backfilling military 
capabilities provided to Ukraine.

Support for Afghan Allies

    The committee recognizes the significant sacrifices of its 
Afghan partners in countering terrorism during the Afghanistan 
War from 2001-2021. The committee notes that during the two-
decade war, Afghan military personnel and police officers 
fought bravely on behalf of their country, and more than 66,000 
were killed in their battle against terrorists. Their stalwart 
partnership with the United States for nearly two decades 
deterred the Taliban, which harbored the al-Qaida leadership 
responsible for the September 11, 2001 attacks, from taking 
over the country, and prevented al-Qaida from using Afghanistan 
as a base to attack the United State and its allies.
    The committee remains concerned about the safety and 
security of those Afghans who remain in Afghanistan that worked 
alongside the United States and coalition partners and those 
Afghans who fled Afghanistan to third countries as a result of 
the situation in Afghanistan, notes its strong support for an 
extension of the Special Immigrant Visa program for Afghans, 
and urges the Department of Defense (DOD) to continue assisting 
in efforts to ensure the safety of these partners and, where 
possible, to assist their repatriation to the United States.
    The committee believes that the United States government 
should have a comprehensive approach to continue to facilitate 
the relocation and resettlement of at-risk Afghans, including 
those that remain in Afghanistan under threat from the Taliban, 
and those currently residing in third countries.
    The committee recognizes that between 5,000-7,500 at-risk 
Afghan allies fled Afghanistan via private charter and other 
means between September 1, 2021 and December 31, 2021 and 
remain in third countries, such as the United Arab Emirates, 
Albania, Denmark, Turkey, Pakistan, and Mexico.
    The committee believes that these at-risk Afghan allies 
should qualify for the Administration's coordinated response to 
support vulnerable Afghans subject to any and all required 
vetting and security screening, including use of, if 
appropriate, data provided by the National Ground Intelligence 
Center.
    The committee recommends that the DOD work in concert with 
other government agencies to provide support as appropriate to 
facilitate relocation and resettlement of at-risk Afghan 
allies.
    The committee further commends the various veteran service 
organizations, veterans, non-governmental organizations, and 
private citizens who joined together to assist in the 
evacuation and resettlement of at-risk Afghan allies.
    The committee recommends that the Secretary of Defense 
consider the feasibility of partnering with such groups, to 
include providing grants or other monetary assistance, to help 
facilitate the relocation and resettlement of at-risk Afghan 
allies.

U.S.-Israel Defense Cooperation

    The committee commends the governments of Bahrain and the 
United Arab Emirates for continuing to build security and 
military ties with the government of Israel since the signing 
of the Abraham Accords under the auspices of the United States 
on September 15, 2020. The committee urges the Department of 
Defense to continue promoting deeper defense and defense 
industrial cooperation between these partners.
    Therefore, no later than December 1, 2022, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to brief the congressional 
defense committees regarding plans to promote an expanded 
defense industrial base partnership between the United States, 
Israel, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates to address shared 
operational threats.

United States-Israel Operations-Technology Working Group

    The committee applauds the Department of Defense's 
establishment on November 1, 2021, of the United States-Israel 
Operations-Technology Working Group, which the Congress 
authorized in section 1299M of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public 
Law 116-283). Following the inaugural meeting in May 2022, the 
committee continues to believe the working group can play a 
vital role in strengthening the bilateral military research and 
development relationship with Israel and help ensure American 
warfighters never confront adversaries from a strategic 
disadvantage.
    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 is committed to ensuring the success of the 
U.S.-Israel Operations-Technology Working Group. The committee 
directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and 
Engineering to provide a briefing to the congressional defense 
committees, not later than December 15, 2022, on the extent to 
which the working group is fulfilling its four primary 
responsibilities. The briefing shall also include outcomes of 
the May meeting, the timeline and implementation plan for each 
area of cooperation, and whether additional authorities are 
required.

Wagner Group

    The committee understands that private military companies, 
like the Wagner Group, are increasingly being used by the 
Russian government as a means to achieve its security 
objectives around the world and to undermine the security 
interests of the United States and its partners and allies. The 
committee notes that the Commander of United States Africa 
Command (AFRICOM) testified on March 15, 2022, that across 
Africa ``mercenaries from the Kremlin's Wagner Group offer a 
one-stop-shop for regime protection, resource exploitation, and 
horrific violence against Africans'' and that AFRICOM is 
``shining a spotlight on that with information operations and 
some public diplomacy and advising our African partners to try 
to steer clear of these groups.'' The committee recognizes that 
AFRICOM has published public statements identifying the 
destabilizing actions of the Wagner Group on the continent, 
including the identification of the Wagner Group as a Russian 
state-sponsored entity, attribution of Wagner's provision of 
Russian supplies and equipment to Libyan fighters, and 
satellite imagery of Wagner forces and equipment on the front 
lines of the conflict in Libya, including conducting air 
strikes using Russian fighter aircraft.
    The committee supports efforts by AFRICOM and other 
elements of the Department of Defense to bring greater 
attention to the malign activities of the Wagner Group in 
Africa and elsewhere around the world through the public 
release of information and through the sharing of information 
with partners and allies. The committee looks forward to 
receiving updates from the Department on its assessment of the 
threat posed by the Wagner Group and any ongoing or planned 
efforts to work with partners and allies to bring greater 
awareness of such threats.

98d) in order to give the National Defense Stockpile Manager 
greater flexibility and agility to acquire critical materials, 
including rare earth elements, that are necessary to meet the 
requirements of the Department of Defense.
Briefings on shortfalls in National Defense Stockpile (sec. 1412)

                       Subtitle C--Other Matters


Authorization of appropriations for Armed Forces Retirement Home (sec. 
        1421)

    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
an appropriation of $152.4 million from the Armed Forces 
Retirement Home Trust Fund for fiscal year 2023 for the 
operation of the Armed Forces Retirement Home.

Authority for transfer of funds to Joint Department of Defense-
        Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Facility Demonstration 
        Fund for Captain James A. Lovell Health Care Center, Illinois 
        (sec. 1422)

    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the Secretary of Defense to transfer $167.6 million from the 
Defense Health Program to the Joint Department of Defense-
Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Facility Demonstration 
Fund, established by section 1704 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84), for 
the operation of the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health 
Care Center.

                       Items of Special Interest


Antimony trisulfide and metal

    The committee is concerned about recent geopolitical 
dynamics with Russia and China and how they could accelerate 
supply chain disruptions, particularly of antimony, that could 
lead to national security vulnerabilities. Antimony trisulfide 
(stibnite) and antimony metal are important materials in the 
production of armament systems for the Department of Defense. 
One key vulnerability is that stibnite has been primarily 
procured from China and Russia. Without a reliable source of 
stibnite, U.S. small and medium caliber munition production to 
meet warfighter requirements could be vulnerable. 
Reestablishing domestic production or increasing reliance on 
imports from an allied nation could mitigate stibnite supply 
chain vulnerabilities by bolstering a supply chain that is 
resilient to adverse global economic and geopolitical 
conditions.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Director, Defense 
Logistics Agency, in consultation with the Assistant Secretary 
of Defense, Office of Industrial Base Policy, to provide a 
briefing to the committee, not later than March 1, 2023, on: 
(1) The stockpile status of these materials; (2) Current 
production timeline requirements; (3) Material amounts required 
during a contingency or pacing threat scenario and the 
production timeline of those materials, and requirements to 
backfill depleted stockpile of those materials; and (4) A 5-
year outlook of these minerals and current and future supply 
chain vulnerabilities.

Critical and strategic minerals and materials vulnerabilities

    The committee notes that the United States relies 
significantly on foreign nations, many of them unfriendly and 
with nonexistent labor and environmental standards, to meet 
much of the United States' present critical mineral demands. As 
reported by the U.S. Geological Survey, the United States 
imported more than 50 percent of its supply of at least 47 
minerals commodities in 2021, including 100 percent of the 
supply of 17 mineral commodities. The concentration of where 
that supply comes from makes the foreign dependence even more 
concerning. China dominates the international critical mineral 
supply chain, presenting a national security vulnerability for 
the United States and harsh economic realities for American 
manufacturers. With demand for certain minerals expected to 
grow over the next two decades, United States' reliance on 
China and other non-allied nations to satisfy this demand may 
increase without action. The Congress has acted to provide 
substantial new authorities and federal assistance to boost 
domestic mineral supplies. Yet, given the severity of this 
challenge, those steps alone will not be sufficient. On March 
31, 2022, President Biden invoked the Defense Production Act of 
1950 (Public Law 81-774) to address domestic production and 
processing of the battery metals, which is a first step.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary 
of Defense for Industrial Base Policy to assess whether any 
additional critical and strategic minerals and materials should 
be subject to a Presidential Determination, under title III of 
the Defense Production Act of 1950, and provide a briefing to 
the committee, not later than March 1, 2023, on its findings 
and recommendations.

High purity aluminum

    The committee previously noted in the Senate report 
accompanying S. 2987 (S. Rept. 115-262) of the John S. McCain 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 the 
importance of high purity aluminum (HPA) to meet national 
security requirements. The Senate report encouraged the 
Secretary of Defense to take affirmative steps to maintain 
secure sources of supply for HPA and to consider investing in 
appropriate improvements to make the production of domestic HPA 
more efficient and available than through the traditional 
smelting process. High purity aluminum plays a critical role in 
defense platforms such as in the bulkheads for the F-35, the 
advanced armor for the Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, and is 
used to make alloys that are used in other defense and space 
platforms. The demand for HPA is expected to continue to 
increase as the Department of Defense ramps up production on 
key next generation air and ground platforms and the need for 
weight reduction remains a key requirement. The committee notes 
the United States relies heavily on imports for HPA, and the 
report released, on February 24, 2021, pursuant to Executive 
Order 14017, titled ``Securing Defense-Critical Supply 
Chains,'' highlights HPA as a critical mineral with significant 
supply chain risk. The committee is disappointed to learn that 
the Department has not taken any steps on increasing domestic 
HPA production capability.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary 
of Defense for Industrial Base Policy, not later than March 1, 
2023, to provide a briefing to the congressional defense 
committees on: (1) The Department's plans to ensure a robust 
domestic HPA production capability that is more energy 
efficient than the traditional smelting process; (2) Any 
obstacles that would limit Department investments in HPA 
capability improvements; and (3) Any opportunities to work with 
allies to increase production capacity of HPA.

Report on domestic titanium production

    The committee is aware of advanced manufacturing 
technologies (additive manufacturing, superplastic forming, 
innovative casting and forgings processes, etc.) that could 
provide significant cost savings during the production of 
titanium parts used in critical defense applications.
    The committee believes that advancements in advanced 
manufacturing technology show potential to make domestic 
titanium production more competitive in the global marketplace, 
which would reduce reliance on foreign adversaries for 
aerospace-grade titanium used in defense assets.
    As such, the committee encourages the Department of Defense 
to encourage public and private sector cooperation to establish 
titanium processing facilities in the United States, especially 
facilities based on using efficient and clean technologies that 
benefit the Department of Defense.
    The committee also encourages the Department of Defense to 
develop and scale up dual-use domestic advanced manufacturing 
technologies to lower the cost of titanium production in order 
to reduce defense procurement costs.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of Commerce, to 
provide a briefing to the committee, not later than March 1, 
2023, on an analysis of domestic commercial titanium 
requirements, identified barriers to domestic titanium 
production, and a cost-benefit analysis of using efficient and 
clean technologies to produce titanium and titanium parts for 
Department of Defense requirements.

                              Budget Items


Health care for anomalous health incidents

    The budget request included $35.3 billion in Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW) for the Defense Health 
Program, of which $9.9 billion was for line number 1 In-House 
Care.
    The committee recommends an increase in OMDW of $20.0 
million for line number 1 In-House Care to address the threat 
characterization and treatment of certain uniformed members, 
Federal civilian employees, and their family members affected 
by anomalous health incidents.

National Disaster Medical System pilot program

    The budget request did not include funding for the National 
Disaster Medical System pilot program, authorized by section 
740 of the National Defense Authorization for Fiscal Year 2020 
(Public Law 116-92), as amended by section 741 of the William 
M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283).
    The committee understands that the pilot program will be 
carried out over 5 years at five locations. Accordingly, the 
committee recommends an increase of $15.0 million in Operation 
and Maintenance, Defense-wide (OMDW) for the Defense Health 
Program, in line number 7 Base Operations/Communications, for 
the National Disaster Medical System pilot program.

Counter-narcotics support U.S. Northern Command

    The budget request included $2.0 billion for Transfer 
Accounts, of which $619.5 million was for the Drug Interdiction 
and Counter-Drug Activities, Defense Transfer Account, SAG 1FU1 
Counter-Narcotics Support, of which $20.2 million was for U.S. 
Northern Command (NORTHCOM).
    The committee is concerned that the request for NORTHCOM's 
counterdrug and counter-transnational criminal organization 
activities represents a 40 percent cut in funding even as the 
Director of National Intelligence's World Wide Threat report 
found that drug overdose levels in the United States are at 
historic levels.
    Therefore the committee recommends an increase of $8.0 
million in SAG 1FU1 Counter-Narcotics Support for NORTHCOM 
counterdrug activities.

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

                      Subtitle A--Space Activities

Additional authorities of Chief of Space Operations (sec. 1501)
    The committee recommends a provision deeming the Chief of 
Space Operations the force design architect for space systems 
of the Armed Forces.
Comprehensive strategy for the Space Force (sec. 1502)
    The committee recommends a provision that would direct the 
Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of Space Operations to 
jointly develop strategic objectives for the U.S. Space Force. 
The provision would also include reporting and briefing 
requirements.
Review of Space Development Agency exemption from Joint Capabilities 
        Integration and Development System (sec. 1503)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to review and make a recommendation on the 
exemption of the Space Development Agency from the Joint 
Capabilities Integration and Development System. The provision 
would also recommend the Secretary of the Air Force and the 
Director of the Space Development Agency to implement such a 
recommendation.
Applied research and educational activities to support space technology 
        development (sec. 1504)
    The committee recommends a provision that would allow the 
Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief of Space Operations to 
carry out applied research and education activities to support 
space technology.
Continued requirement for National Security Space Launch program (sec. 
        1505)
    The committee recommends a provision that requires phase 
two launch providers to meet Federal requirements with respect 
to payloads and orbits.
Extension of annual report on Space Command and Control (sec. 1506)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 1613 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) to extend the annual 
reporting requirement through 2030.
Modification of reports on integration of acquisition and capability 
        delivery schedules for segments of major satellite acquisitions 
        programs and funding for such programs (sec. 1507)
    The committee recommends a provision that would delete the 
report required by section 2275(f)(3) of title 10, United 
States Code.
Update to plan to manage Integrated Tactical Warning and Attack 
        Assessment System and multi-domain sensors (sec. 1508)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of the Air Force to update the plan to manage the Air 
Force missile warning elements of the Integrated Tactical 
Warning and Attack Assessment System, prepared pursuant to 
section 1669 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91). The provision would also 
specify requirements for coordinating with other agencies, 
among other things.

                       Subtitle B--Nuclear Forces

Matters relating to role of Nuclear Weapons Council with respect to 
        budget for nuclear weapons programs (sec. 1511)
    The committee recommends a provision that would realign 
certain statutory requirements concerning annual nuclear 
weapons budget assessments to fall within the list of 
enumerated Nuclear Weapons Council responsibilities. The 
provision would also require timely confirmation from the 
Nuclear Weapons Council that such assessments are occurring and 
expand the list of programs that would trigger a congressional 
notification if insufficiently funded.
Development of risk management framework for the United States nuclear 
        enterprise (sec. 1512)
    The committee recommends a provision that would direct the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment 
(USD(A&S)) and the Administrator for Nuclear Security, in 
coordination with other members of the Nuclear Weapons Council, 
to establish a joint risk management process to periodically 
identify, analyze, and respond to risks that affect the U.S. 
nuclear enterprise and report, internally and externally to 
relevant stakeholders, those risks and any associated 
mitigation efforts. The USD(A&S) and the Administrator for 
Nuclear Security should draw upon subject matter expertise 
resident within the Defense Acquisition University and leverage 
existing Nuclear Weapons Council structures and processes to 
identify, analyze, and respond to risks that affect the entire 
U.S. nuclear enterprise.
    The provision would also direct the USD(A&S) and the 
Administrator for Nuclear Security to provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees on its progress in 
establishing such a joint risk management process not later 
than February 1, 2023, and a briefing on the completed joint 
risk management process not later than June 30, 2023.
    A Government Accountability Office (GAO) report published 
on January 20, 2022, titled ``Nuclear Enterprise: DOD and NNSA 
Could Further Enhance How They Manage Risk and Prioritize 
Efforts'' (GAO-22-104061), found that, despite the 
interdependencies among the Department of Defense (DOD) and 
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) nuclear 
programs, the DOD and NNSA have not established joint processes 
to periodically identify, analyze, and respond to risks that 
affect the joint U.S. nuclear enterprise, and report 
information about these risks to stakeholders. Effective risk 
management of the U.S. nuclear enterprise as a whole requires 
comprehensive risk assessment and reporting that takes into 
account all program interdependencies that exist between and 
within the DOD and NNSA portfolios, as well as agreement on how 
to manage those shared risks.
Biannual briefing on nuclear weapons and related activities (sec. 1513)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require six 
Department of Defense officials to provide biannual briefings 
to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and House of 
Representatives on nuclear weapons and related matters. The 
provision would terminate on January 1, 2028.
Plan for development of reentry vehicles (sec. 1514)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, in 
consultation with the Administrator for Nuclear Security of the 
National Nuclear Security Administration and the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, to produce a 
20-year plan for the development of the Mark 21A, Mark 7, and 
other re-entry vehicles. The provision would specify the 
elements to be included in such a plan and require assessments 
of the plan.

Industrial base monitoring for B-21 and Sentinel programs (sec. 1515)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of the Air Force, acting through the Assistant 
Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology, and 
Logistics, to designate a senior official to monitor the 
industrial base supporting the acquisition of B-21 aircraft and 
the Sentinel program. The committee believes that such a senior 
official should be a member of the Senior Executive Service. 
The provision would also include definitions and a reporting 
requirement.

Establishment of intercontinental ballistic missile site activation 
        task force for Sentinel program (sec. 1516)

    The committee recommends a provision that would establish 
within the Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) a 
directorate to stand up the LGM-35A Sentinel Intercontinental 
Ballistic Missile Task Force (ICBM) weapon system known as the 
Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Task Force, which would 
serve as the site activation task force (SATAF) to oversee and 
integrate not only the construction associated with the 
Sentinel weapon system but the myriad other factors of sub-
systems associated with the technical baseline of the Sentinel 
weapon, personnel, and material leading to an operational 
capability that will be managed by the AFGSC. The provision 
would direct the Secretary of the Air Force to appoint a 
Director of the SATAF who would be a general officer with 
experience in large construction projects with a term of 3 
years.
    The committee believes that the Secretary should select a 
Director of sufficient rank to effectively operate and direct 
activities across multiple organizations, given the operational 
and logistical challenges associated with concurrently meeting 
U.S. Strategic Command requirements during the transition 
period from Minuteman III to Sentinel. Further, the committee 
believes the Director should also possess a working knowledge 
of ICBM operations, maintenance, and logistics. The provision 
would also designate the Sentinel missile field as a single 
weapon system to ensure its associated lifecycle maintenance 
planning accounts for this system of systems concept, given 
that each of the 150 launch facilities is interconnected with 
the other launch facilities across an entire wing and with 
launch control centers. With the magnitude of the effort 
involved, the provision would direct annual reporting with 
quarterly briefings from the Secretary of the Air Force on its 
progress. Finally, the provision would terminate the task force 
and eliminate the position of Director upon a declaration of 
full operational capability for the Sentinel weapon system.
    The committee notes that when the United States began 
initial ICBM silo construction in the 1960s, the congressional 
oversight committees at the time were actively involved in 
ensuring rapid activation of the missile fields and supported 
the consolidation of missile field construction management 
functions into a single office under the command of a major 
general to oversee the project, with senior colonels directing 
activities at individual sites. Officials at the time 
recognized the importance of a clear, centralized management 
hierarchy to coordinate resources across thousands of 
localities and provide much needed advocacy and leadership to a 
workforce more than 21,000 strong. The committee recognizes 
that recapitalization of existing Minuteman III ICBM silos and 
ground equipment in preparation for deployment of the LGM-35A 
Sentinel ICBM weapon system will be one of the most complex 
civil engineering projects undertaken by the Department of 
Defense since this initial construction effort. Spanning 
thousands of square miles across the midwestern United States, 
the three missile wings must be updated at a rate of 
approximately one per week over a decade to meet U.S. Strategic 
Command operational requirements. As was the case in the early 
days of U.S. ICBM development, appropriate leadership and 
management of this project will be critical to successful, on-
time delivery of a much-needed operational capability.

Sense of the Senate and briefing on nuclear cooperation between the 
        United States and the United Kingdom (sec. 1517)

    The committee recommends a provision that would express the 
sense of the Senate that the independent nuclear deterrents of 
the United States, the United Kingdom, and the French Republic 
are the supreme guarantee of the security of the North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization. The provision would further express the 
sense of the Senate that the United States and the United 
Kingdom face similar challenges in modernizing their aging 
nuclear deterrents and that continued nuclear cooperation 
between the United States and the United Kingdom is in the 
national security interests of the United States.
    The provision would also require a briefing on 
opportunities to further enhance and strengthen the bilateral 
partnership between the nuclear enterprises of the United 
States and the United Kingdom.

Limitation on use of funds until submission of reports on 
        intercontinental ballistic missile force (sec. 1518)

    The committee recommends a provision that would limit the 
amount obligated or expended for the operations of the Office 
of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy to not more than 
50 percent of the amount authorized by this Act until the 
Department of Defense provides the reports and documents 
required by section 1647 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81).

Prohibition on reduction of the intercontinental ballistic missiles of 
        the United States (sec. 1519)

    The committee recommends a provision that would prohibit 
the obligation or expenditure of authorized funds from fiscal 
year 2023 to reduce deployed U.S. intercontinental ballistic 
missiles' responsiveness, alert level, or quantity to fewer 
than 400. The provision would provide an exception to this 
prohibition for activities related to maintenance, sustainment, 
and replacement, or activities to ensure safety, security, or 
reliability.

Limitation on use of funds for B83-1 retirement and report on defeating 
        hard and deeply buried targets (sec. 1520)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require a 
study on the defeat of hard and deeply buried targets prior to 
expending or obligating funds to deactivate, dismantle, or 
retire the B83-1 nuclear gravity bomb.

Limitation on use of funds for naval nuclear fuel systems based on low-
        enriched uranium (sec. 1521)

    The committee recommends a provision that would limit the 
use of funds made available in fiscal year 2023 for the 
purposes of conducting research and development of an advanced 
naval nuclear fuel system based on low-enriched uranium until 
certain determinations are provided to the congressional 
defense committees. The provision would also require the 
Administrator for Nuclear Security to submit a report on 
activities conducted for the development of nonproliferation 
fuels using amounts made available for fiscal year 2022.

Further limitation on use of funds until submission of analysis of 
        alternatives for nuclear sea-launched cruise missile (sec. 
        1522)

    The committee recommends a provision that would limit the 
amount obligated or expended for the operations of the Office 
of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy to not more than 
75 percent of the amount authorized by this Act until the 
Department of Defense provides a briefing and report on the 
analysis of alternatives for the nuclear sea-launched cruise 
missile as required by section 1641 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81).

Modification of reports on Nuclear Posture Review implementation (sec. 
        1523)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 491(c) of title 10, United States Code, to extend the 
relevant reporting periods and make a technical amendment to 
update a referenced report.

Modification of requirements for plutonium pit production capacity plan 
        (sec. 1524)

    The committee recommends a provision that would provide for 
a limitation on funds authorized for fiscal year 2023 for the 
Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
Sustainment until the plan required by section 2538a(a) of 
title 50, United States Code, is submitted. The provision would 
also amend section 4219(c) of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 
U.S.C. 2538a(c)) to require the Chairman of the Nuclear Weapons 
Council to notify the congressional defense committees as to 
whether the Council received sufficient information to develop 
a plan to enable the nuclear security enterprise to meet 
requirements, should the Secretary of Energy fail to certify 
that the programs and budget of the Department of Energy will 
enable the nuclear security enterprise to do so.
    On April 25, 2022, the committee received a letter from the 
Nuclear Weapons Council stating that the Council would be 
``unable to provide an alternative budget or funding plan that 
will enable the nuclear security enterprise to achieve the 
plutonium pits requirements contained in section 2538a(a) [of 
title 50, United States Code].'' The committee views this 
correspondence as non-responsive to a clear statutory 
requirement and expects the Council to provide the directed 
plan as soon as possible, given the clear urgency to 
reestablish an adequately-sized plutonium pit production 
capability for the United States.

Extension of requirement to report on nuclear weapons stockpile (sec. 
        1525)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 492a of title 10, United States Code, to extend, 
through the year 2029, the requirement for a report on the plan 
for the nuclear weapons stockpile, nuclear weapons complex, 
nuclear weapons delivery systems, and nuclear weapons command 
and control system.

Extension of requirement for annual assessment of cyber resiliency of 
        nuclear command and control system (sec. 1526)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 499(e) of title 10, United States Code, to extend the 
requirement for an assessment of the cyber resiliency of the 
nuclear command and control system through 2032.

Extension of requirement for unencumbered uranium plan (sec. 1527)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend

                       Items of Special Interest


Additive manufacturing

    The committee recognizes the difficulty of effectively 
sustaining aging Air Force nuclear weapons delivery systems and 
supporting infrastructure through the transition to a 
modernized strategic deterrent in the 2030s. Many of these 
programs face significant challenges from increasing component 
failures and extended maintenance outages, which are only 
compounded by parts shortages and diminishing manufacturing 
sources. The committee believes modern additive manufacturing 
methods offer a potentially lower-cost means of replacing 
defective or damaged components when original vendors no longer 
exist or are no longer capable of providing such services.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force, in 
coordination with the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment, to provide a briefing, not later 
than March 1, 2023, to the congressional defense committees on 
opportunities for expanding the use of additive manufacturing 
to supplement legacy nuclear weapons delivery systems and 
supporting infrastructure sustainment efforts, including 
options for adjusting nuclear certification requirements to 
expedite qualification of additively manufactured items for 
components that do not directly interface with nuclear weapons 
or nuclear command, control, and communications systems.

Briefing on activities under the Mutual Defense Agreement with the 
        United Kingdom

    The National Nuclear Security Administration is developing 
preliminary design and cost information for the Department of 
Defense to develop the Mark 7 reentry vehicle and W93 submarine 
launched ballistic missile warhead. This effort is being 
undertaken in parallel with the United Kingdom's separate 
program to replace its sovereign warhead. The committee 
understands that certain related cooperative efforts are taking 
place under a sharing agreement with the United Kingdom, 
commonly referred to as the Mutual Defense Agreement between 
the United States of America and the United Kingdom of Great 
Britain and Northern Ireland for Cooperation on the Uses of 
Atomic Energy for Mutual Defense Purposes, signed at 
Washington, D.C., on July 3, 1958, and entered into force 
August 4, 1958.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
and the Administrator for Nuclear Security, not later than 
March 31, 2023, to provide a briefing to the congressional 
defense committees on the current status of the sharing 
agreement relative to work underway on the Mark 7 reentry 
vehicle, the W93, and the United Kingdom's warhead replacement 
program, and specifically over the next 5 years what 
information, technologies, and materials are being shared 
between the United States and the United Kingdom.

Briefing on Defense Threat Reduction Agency capabilities for supporting 
        future arms control inspection regimes

    The committee directs the Director of the Defense Threat 
Reduction Agency, not later than April 1, 2023, to provide a 
briefing to the congressional defense committees on the 
capabilities and resources required to support existing and 
potential future domestic and overseas arms control inspection 
regimes. This briefing shall address: (1) Interpreter, 
inspector, escort, and technical subject matter expert manning 
and professional development needs; (2) Inspection and 
verification technology research and development projections; 
(3) Risks of insufficient resourcing on long-term human capital 
planning; and (4) Any other related topics the Director sees 
fit to include.

Briefing on manning options for operating an integrated air and missile 
        defense architecture for Guam

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, not later 
than March 1, 2023, to provide a briefing to the congressional 
defense committees on available options for manning a future 
integrated air and missile defense architecture for the defense 
of Guam against growing missile threats in the Indo-Pacific 
theater. In addition to the use of Active-Duty military 
personnel, the committee encourages the Department of Defense 
to consider a wide range of manning options, including the use 
of local and rotating National Guard forces, as well as options 
for reducing manning requirements through the use of increased 
automation.

Briefing on sensor integration at United States Space Command

    Enhancing space domain awareness through the integration of 
sensors in all domains is a high priority of U.S. Space 
Command. However, it is not clear to the committee how this 
integration will take place, over what time frame, and what the 
war reserve capability is if planned architectures are degraded 
during a crisis or in a time of conflict.
    Therefore the committee directs the Commander, U.S. Space 
Command, not later than March 31, 2023, to provide a briefing 
to the congressional defense committees on the planned space 
domain awareness architecture, including which non-space layer 
sensors the Command intends to integrate, a process for 
developing a long-term capability to assess and integrate 
future sensors, as well as processes for sharing information 
from these sensors to increase space domain awareness. The 
committee also directs the Commander, U.S. Space Command, to 
assess what capabilities exist in a war reserve that can be 
utilized to supplement space domain awareness in a time of 
conflict, assuming a degradation of the planned architecture.

Cislunar space

    Recent national security interest in cislunar space 
activities by Russia and China must be accounted for in the 
development of space policy and operations. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force, in 
coordination with the Chief of Space Operations, to provide a 
briefing to the congressional defense committees, not later 
than March 31, 2023, on a long-term strategy for cislunar 
space. The report shall include: (1) An explanation of how the 
Department of Defense is working with small and innovative/non-
traditional space and defense companies; (2) An examination of 
proposed uses for existing technologies being developed for 
other Government space applications; and (3) An update 
regarding challenges and opportunities associated with access 
to the cislunar space, such as the possible increased use of 
rideshare on commercial cislunar launch vehicles and spacecraft 
that have excess payload capacities, in addition to other 
considerations of how to leverage dual-use technologies.

Commercial radio frequency capabilities

    The committee recognizes that radio frequency (RF) remote 
sensing from space is a new area of commercialization, a 
complement to national systems that adds resiliency, and an 
area of competition with foreign actors. The committee is 
encouraged by some of the examples where RF remote sensing 
capabilities have supported combatant command missions and 
exercises, such as those in support of U.S. European Command. 
The committee believes that the Department of Defense's joint 
warfighting advantage and new operational concepts will be 
further strengthened by the integration of these capabilities, 
but that success will hinge on greater engagement between users 
and innovators.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Chairman of the Joint 
Chiefs of Staff to provide a briefing to the congressional 
defense committees, not later than March 31, 2023, on whether 
U.S. commercial RF satellite capabilities can be further 
leveraged in combatant command exercises, experimentation, and 
wargaming, and how these commercial capabilities can be 
integrated into the information systems and workflows utilized 
by the combatant commands to support relevant operational 
mission needs.

Contracting for commercial space data and services

    The commercial space industry has rapidly developed and 
fielded leading-edge technologies and capabilities in areas 
previously only the Government invested in, including satellite 
communications, optical and radar imagery, weather monitoring, 
satellite control, and space situational awareness. 
Consequently, the Department of Defense (DOD) has some efforts 
underway to acquire commercial space data and services to 
address its mission needs. However, its adoption of procuring 
these products has lagged, resulting in continued reliance on 
antiquated, Government-owned capabilities and inefficient 
investments to develop capabilities that may already exist 
commercially.
    The committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to conduct a review to determine:
          (1) The types of commercial data and services the DOD 
        is procuring;
          (2) The types of contractual relationships the DOD 
        uses; and
          (3) The challenges the DOD faces in more effectively 
        adopting its procurement of commercial space data and 
        services.
    The Comptroller General shall provide preliminary 
observations to the congressional defense committees not later 
than May 1, 2023, with a report to follow on an agreed upon 
date.

Department of Defense efforts to address space readiness concerns

    Last year, the Government Accountability Office found, in a 
report published April 7, 2021, titled ``Military Readiness: 
Department of Defense Domain Readiness Varied from Fiscal Year 
2017 through Fiscal Year 2019'' (GAO-21-279), that the 
Department of Defense (DOD) faces space domain readiness 
concerns in several areas. The committee understands the Space 
Force is conducting a review to address space readiness issues.
    Given the importance of space capabilities for conducting 
critical DOD missions, the committee directs the Comptroller 
General of the United States to review the results of the Space 
Force's review and determine the status and costs of ongoing or 
planned materiel and non-materiel efforts to address current 
and future space readiness concerns.
    The Comptroller General shall provide preliminary 
observations to the congressional defense committees not later 
than May 1, 2023, with a report to follow on an agreed upon 
date.

Efforts to develop space-based optical communications capabilities

    The committee notes that the use of optical laser links for 
inter-satellite and space-to-ground communications offers 
distinct advantages over radio frequency-based communications, 
including higher data transmission rates; increased protection 
from jamming, interference, and cybersecurity attacks; and 
lower probability of adversary interception and detection of 
signals.
    Consequently, organizations across the Department of 
Defense (DOD) are developing space-based laser communication 
capabilities. However, lack of coordination between these 
efforts increases the risk of inefficient duplicative or 
overlapping development and could limit opportunities for 
effective industry competition, innovation, and 
interoperability among systems.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to conduct a review of these efforts that 
shall address the following elements:
          (1) The status of DOD efforts to develop laser 
        communications capabilities;
          (2) The extent to which these efforts are effectively 
        coordinated; and
          (3) Any other matters the Comptroller General deems 
        appropriate.
    The Comptroller General shall provide preliminary 
observations to the congressional defense committees not later 
than May 1, 2023, with a report to follow on an agreed upon 
date.

Energy resiliency of bases supporting nuclear deterrence missions

    The committee considers efforts to ensure the continued 
readiness and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear deterrent to be 
of paramount importance. Accordingly, the committee encourages 
the Department of Defense to continue to prioritize initiatives 
to improve the resiliency and survivability of installations 
supporting the nuclear deterrence mission, including the 
development of additional, independent means of meeting 
installation electrical power requirements. Such secondary 
energy sources will ensure critical mission continuity in the 
event of a primary energy source failure caused by a disruption 
of the electric grid, a cyberattack, or a natural disaster.
    The committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense 
for Sustainment, in coordination with the Assistant Secretary 
of the Air Force for Energy, Installations, and Environment, 
and the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Energy, 
Installations, and Environment, to provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than March 31, 
2023, outlining ongoing initiatives to enhance the energy 
resilience of Air Force and Navy installations hosting elements 
of U.S. nuclear forces, both domestically and abroad, as well 
as identifying opportunities to further enhance installation 
energy resilience through increased use of natural gas, linear 
generators, microreactors, alternative grid connections, and 
renewables.

Evolved Strategic SATCOM program

    The Space Force's Evolved Strategic SATCOM (ESS) program is 
developing a new generation of protected communications 
satellites for critical national security missions. The 
satellites ESS will replace took over 10 years and billions of 
dollars to develop and produce. The committee understands that 
the ESS program is using a new acquisition pathway to develop 
the satellites, which encourages shorter development timelines, 
but is a novel approach for such a complex satellite 
constellation.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to assess the ESS program's novel acquisition 
approach, development status, and any risks and challenges 
faced by the program under such approach.
    The Comptroller General shall provide preliminary 
observations to the congressional defense committees not later 
than May 1, 2023, with a report to follow on an agreed upon 
date.

Global enhanced geospatial intelligence delivery

    The committee recognizes the Global Enhanced Geospatial 
Delivery (G-EGD) program delivers mission essential, time-
sensitive information to more than 400,000 users and to 125 
programs on the tactical edge and across the U.S. Government. 
The committee is encouraged with progress made to develop G-EGD 
into a platform that provides a one-stop shop for commercially 
available intelligence information that offers seamless access 
to diverse data sources for the U.S. Government and allied 
forces.
    However, the span and scope of commercially available 
intelligence is changing rapidly, as evidenced by recent events 
in Ukraine. The G-EGD program must continue to integrate new 
and advanced commercial intelligence and data to remain 
relevant to end users in the Department of Defense. Inclusion 
of high resolution commercially available synthetic aperture 
radar and hyperspectral imagery, commercial radio frequency 
data, and advancements in three dimensional technology are just 
a few examples. Additionally, the committee recognizes the need 
to access and exploit this data on all domains to maximize 
value across the user base, to include the entire intelligence 
community.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
in consultation with the Director of National Intelligence to 
submit a report to the congressional defense and intelligence 
committees, not later than March 31, 2023, on additional 
commercial intelligence sources and analytic capabilities to be 
integrated into the G-EGD service. The report shall also 
identify data standards to effectively and efficiently 
integrate G-EGD with a broader ecosystem of mission command 
systems.

Hybrid space architecture cybersecurity

    The committee recognizes U.S. Government and commercial 
space capabilities as vital to U.S. national and economic 
security, and notes the threat of cyberattacks to continued 
U.S. superiority in space. To address these threats and retain 
U.S. primacy in space, the committee believes the U.S. 
Government should integrate commercial cybersecurity 
capabilities with traditional Government systems as part of 
building a space architecture concept that is a hybrid between 
Government and commercial satellites.
    The committee notes that several national security space 
organizations have publicly supported a hybrid space 
architecture concept, including the Space Force, the National 
Reconnaissance Office, the National Geospatial-Intelligence 
Agency, and the Space Development Agency. However, the 
committee further notes that funding for leveraging commercial 
cyber protection technologies lags launch and satellites in 
budget submissions. Accordingly, it is the view of the 
committee that funds authorized in this Act, to the extent 
appropriated, should be executed in a manner consistent with 
promotion of commercial cyber protection to secure this 
architecture. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of 
the Air Force to submit a briefing, not later than March 31, 
2023, on the Department of the Air Force's efforts to employ 
commercial cybersecurity capabilities to provide rapid cyber 
protection for hybrid space architecture.

Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor

    The budget request for the Missile Defense Agency (MDA) 
included $89.2 million to continue development of the 
Hypersonic and Ballistic Tracking Space Sensor (HBTSS) program, 
which supports the deployment of two demonstration space 
vehicles capable of detecting and tracking targets against a 
cluttered background. The committee continues to support the 
development of these prototypes, which it understands to be the 
only system under development capable of providing fire-control 
quality tracking data for hypersonic and ballistic threats from 
space.
    While the committee continues to believe that 
responsibility for deploying and operating satellite 
constellations beyond the prototype stage resides with the 
Space Force, it is concerned that no plan exists to fully field 
sensors that provide the technical capabilities the MDA 
developed through the HBTSS program, or provide a similar level 
of fire-control data for both ballistic and hypersonic threats 
from space. In view of the growing and increasingly 
sophisticated ballistic and hypersonic missile threats, the 
committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force and the Chief 
of Space Operations, in coordination with the Director of the 
Missile Defense Agency, to provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees not later than February 28, 
2023, or concurrent with the fiscal year 2024 budget 
submission, on an acquisition strategy and a plan to deploy 
sensors that provide the technical capabilities the MDA 
developed through the HBTSS program within an operational 
constellation capable of providing warfighters fire-control 
quality tracking data. To the extent practicable, the 
acquisition strategy shall take maximum advantage of the 
investments made by the MDA through the HBTSS program, and 
leverage existing rapid acquisition authorities where 
appropriate to deliver capability to the warfighter in the 
quickest and least expensive manner possible.

Integrated missile defense efforts

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense is 
investing in capabilities to defend against adversary missiles 
across the full engagement spectrum, including prior to launch. 
By investing in innovative capabilities both ``left-of-launch'' 
and ``right-of-launch,'' the Department adds cost-effective 
options for missile defense and improves Homeland security.
    The committee directs the Director of the Missile Defense 
Agency to provide a briefing to the committee, not later than 
January 31, 2023, on efforts to model integrated missile 
defense efforts. In particular, the briefing shall address:
          (1) Current efforts to model integrated threat 
        detection and disruption both left- and right-of-
        launch;
          (2) Efforts to share modeling capabilities between 
        the Missile Defense Agency, the military services, and 
        geographic combatant commands; and
          (3) Use of commercial technologies in modeling 
        integrated missile defense architectures to determine 
        effectiveness and future technology development 
        priorities.

Intercontinental ballistic missile cable replacement

    The Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) 
weapon system, particularly in the launch facility, relies on 
large, heavy cables dating to the 1960s. This also includes 
cables in the maintenance areas where the warhead and its 
assembly are tested to ensure they can perform in a simulated 
flight profile. Many of these cables are one of a kind with 
large complex end-pin structures, so any breakage or 
misalignment due to wear and tear will cause long periods of 
repair of the original cable, further exacerbating readiness of 
an already aged system.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to 
provide a briefing to congressional defense committees, not 
later than March 31, 2023, on efforts to ensure these aged 
cables are catalogued and can be replaced in a timely way given 
the diminished industrial base from which they were derived. 
Unlike other aged metal parts that be replaced using modern 3-D 
printers, the ICBM cables are unique, consisting of multiple 
embedded cables in a large strand and cannot be printed. In 
addition, the briefing shall cover to what extent the ICBM 
replacement program, the Sentinel ICBM weapon system, will rely 
on these cables found in the launch facilities and maintenance 
hangers.

Joint Defense Business Board and Defense Innovation Board review of 
        space acquisition

    In 2020, the Congress authorized a fundamental 
reorganization of the way the Department of Defense (DOD) 
conducts space operations and the acquisition to support those 
operations. The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) created not only the U.S. Space 
Force, but section 957 created a separate Service Acquisition 
Executive (SAE) for Space for this new service. The primary 
intent was to centralize space acquisition for the Armed Forces 
under the Space SAE.
    Subsequently, section 1601 of the William M. (Mac) 
Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2021 (Public Law 116-283) transferred the Space Development 
Agency (SDA) on October 1, 2022, to the U.S. Space Force, such 
that the Space SAE had oversight of the SDA, the Space Rapid 
Capabilities Office (RCO) and the Space Systems Command (SSC).
    Sections 1602 and 1603 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81) 
further consolidated space acquisition. They elevated the role 
of the Space SAE to have oversight of space acquisition across 
the Armed Forces, renamed the Space Force Acquisition Council 
to the Space Acquisition Council, and chartered it to review 
all space acquisition projects of the Armed Forces. Finally, 
the sections required the Secretary of Defense to designate the 
Chief of Space Operations as the Force Design Architect for 
Space, similar to roles other service chiefs perform for their 
force structures.
    These three consecutive NDAAs have resulted in a 
fundamental reform of space acquisition for the Armed Forces of 
the DOD. However, when senior acquisition leadership presents 
space acquisition efforts to the congressional defense 
committees, they refer to decision making process as a ``unity 
of effort'' between the SSC, Space RCO, SDA, and Missile 
Defense Agency.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Defense Business Board 
and the Defense Innovation Board to review the unity of effort 
decision making process. This review shall specifically ask 
whether the unity of effort process is agile enough for the 
rapid development of space acquisition systems to keep pace 
with today's space industry. In performing this review, the two 
Boards shall consider all options, from retaining the existing 
unity of effort structure to developing a clean sheet approach 
to space acquisition.
    The committee directs the two boards to provide a briefing 
to the congressional defense committees on their findings not 
later than March 31, 2023.

Land-based systems for hypersonics testing

    The committee understands that currently, the most feasible 
long-range capability for hypersonic testing requires the use 
of ships and aircraft positioned along the flight route of the 
hypersonic vehicle to track and receive data. This is a 
logistics challenge that is extremely expensive to mobilize for 
each test. Land-based instrumentation provides higher 
reliability and lower cost than ships and/or airborne 
platforms.
    Therefore, to promote cost-effective hypersonic 
capabilities, the committee encourages the Test Resource 
Management Center (TRMC) to accelerate the development of 
launch and down range tracking facilities to support robust 
testing of both offensive and defensive hypersonic weapons. 
This should include launch facilities, a network of ground 
sites and unmanned aerial systems for tracking, telemetry, and 
flight termination, as well as communications, staffing, and 
support plans. The TRMC is encouraged to maximize existing 
regional capabilities, conduct site surveys and site designs, 
initiate procurement of long-lead items of transportable 
instrumentation systems and communication capabilities, 
initiate environmental assessments, and conduct other 
activities that shorten development timelines and bring the 
range on-line quickly to counter emerging threats.
    The committee recognizes that Alaska provides a unique 
geographical location where hypersonic testing can be conducted 
without overflying populated areas and offers the Department of 
Defense with unrestricted flexibility to meet hypersonic 
mission objectives. Furthermore, the Aleutian Test Range can 
support air-, 
sea-, undersea- and land-launched systems to provide maximum 
test flexibility.

Minuteman III sustainment

    The committee appreciates the efforts of the Department of 
Defense (DOD) and the Department of the Air Force to modernize 
and replace the nation's aging Minuteman III intercontinental 
ballistic missile (ICBM) weapon system with the Sentinel ICBM 
weapon system. On Sentinel's current schedule, the Minuteman 
III will continue to be in service until the mid-2030s, at 
which point it will have been on alert for over 65 years.
    It is imperative that the DOD and the Air Force continue to 
effectively sustain the Minuteman III throughout this period in 
order to meet U.S. Strategic Command requirements, particularly 
as the global nuclear threat environment continues to worsen. 
However, the committee has come to understand that the Air 
Force has deprioritized ICBM sustainment and has reduced 
Minuteman III Centralized Asset Management (CAM) funding 
allocations from 90 percent of requirements to approximately 75 
percent. Such reductions add unnecessary and unwarranted risk 
to ICBM readiness and could undermine the capability of the 
missile wings to ensure timely demilitarization and turnover of 
ICBM ground equipment for recapitalization in preparation for 
Sentinel deployment. The committee strongly believes this 
approach jeopardizes larger investments in the future of U.S. 
nuclear capabilities and should be rectified as soon as 
possible.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force, in coordination with the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment and the Commander of United States 
Strategic Command, to provide a briefing to the congressional 
defense committees, not later than February 1, 2023, on Air 
Force approaches to determining CAM funding prioritization; 
potential risks to Sentinel ground system recapitalization and 
deployment schedules from insufficient CAM allocations; 
operational implications from sustainment-related degradations 
in Minuteman III readiness or delays in Sentinel deployment; 
and options for restoring ICBM CAM allocations to a minimum of 
90 percent of requirements throughout the transition period to 
Sentinel.

Missile defense roles and responsibilities

    A number of agencies and military services have varied 
roles and responsibilities for missile defense, to include 
ballistic and hypersonic missiles, cruise missiles, and 
remotely piloted aircraft. The explicit lines of responsibility 
are not clear for overall coordination of defense against this 
increasingly wide range of threats.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a report to the congressional defense committees, 
not later than March 31, 2023, on missile defense roles and 
responsibilities across the Department of Defense (DOD). The 
report shall identify each service's specific responsibilities 
for air and missile defense, explain how those responsibilities 
are translated into capabilities, and clarify how these 
capabilities are integrated to protect the Joint Force and U.S. 
Homeland from air and missile attack. The report shall also 
evaluate gaps in the DOD's ability to defend the U.S. Homeland 
and forward deployed forces against cruise, ballistic, and 
hypersonic missile threats and identify all plans to mitigate 
those gaps, including implementation timelines and how the DOD 
will address acquisition and sustainment barriers.

Narrowband gapfiller

    The committee is concerned by the findings of a recent 
investigation by the Government Accountability Office (GAO) 
into the viability of the Mobile User Objective System (MUOS) 
(GAO-21-105823, ``Satellite Communications: DOD Should Explore 
Options to Meet User Needs for Narrowband Capabilities''). The 
GAO, which was tasked by the committee to review the 
capabilities of the system, found that despite spending $7.4 
billion on the network, the capabilities were not realized by 
the warfighter. The GAO concluded that the Secretary of Defense 
should implement ``an additional option for providing 
narrowband satellite communication capabilities in the near 
term.''
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a report to the congressional defense 
committees, no later than March 31, 2023, on the cost and 
capabilities for a functional narrowband gapfiller 
demonstration option with at least partial polar coverage by 
January 1, 2025. The report should also examine the feasibility 
for such a system with a full global coverage option by 2026.

Perimeter Acquisition Radar Attack Characterization System

    The AN/FPQ-16 Perimeter Acquisition Radar Attack 
Characterization System (PARCS) is a ground-based, single-
faced, multi-function, Ultra High Frequency-band, phased array 
radar located at Cavalier Space Force Station, North Dakota. 
PARCS is responsible for monitoring and tracking more than half 
of all earth-orbiting objects.
    PARCS is able to detect and track both intercontinental and 
sea-launched missile threats, and pass information to North 
American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), U.S. Strategic 
Command (STRATCOM), and regional combatant commanders. As part 
of the missile warning mission, PARCS provides attack 
characterization data to the Integrated Tactical Warning and 
Attack Assessment system. PARCS supports space domain awareness 
by sending satellite track data to the Combined Space 
Operations Center.
    This system was originally built by the Army as part of the 
Safeguard missile defense system defending U.S. missile fields 
in North Dakota. The Safeguard system was decommissioned 
shortly after it was activated in 1976. The radar was then 
transferred to the Air Force to support the missile warning and 
space surveillance missions.
    PARCS mission equipment and associated sustainment suites 
consist of a mix of unique, custom-built components that are 
increasingly more difficult to maintain due to availability of 
replacement parts and obsolete commercial off the shelf-based 
subsystems that are no longer supported by the original 
equipment manufacturers. In addition, radar transmit and 
receive components, processing equipment, and power 
distribution elements, and other radar front-end equipment are 
more than 30 years old, highly inefficient, and require 
replacement. Without these replacements, there is a high risk 
that equipment failures will cause unacceptable mission 
downtime in order to troubleshoot and repair.
    There is an unfunded PARCS Analog Conversion Digital 
Capability upgrade that would address these challenges with a 
design to align capabilities to modern threats while 
significantly reducing sustainment costs. The expected 
improvements would include: (1) Expanded mission capabilities; 
(2) High velocity target detection; (3) Potential to resolve 
multiple targets within main beam; (4) 50 percent reduction in 
resources to non-threats; (5) Increased scan volume search 
speed, target prioritization; (6) Range resolution improvement 
by a factor of 40; (7) Increased maximum detectable distance by 
over 90 percent for fixed objects; (8) Capability to implement 
hyper glide tracking algorithms for increased missile warning 
abilities; (9) Elimination of primary unscheduled downtime 
source; (10) 97.7 percent parts reduction; (11) Elimination of 
approximately 80 percent of diminishing manufacturing sources 
and material shortages.
    The committee is concerned critical, multi-purpose 
equipment like the PARCS radar, is being neglected beyond the 
point of being upgradable, leading to a dangerous gap in 
capability when it does fail. To ensure the consequences of 
this neglect are understood, the committee directs the 
Secretary of the Air Force, in consultation with the Chief of 
Space Operations, the Commander, U.S. Space Command, the 
Commander, NORAD and U.S. Northern Command, and the Commander, 
STRATCOM, to provide a report to this committee, not later than 
March 31, 2023, on the feasibility of upgrading the PARCS 
radar, the consequences of not upgrading the radar, and the 
defensive gaps that would result if the PARCS radar failed.

Report on Department of Defense hypersonic testing facilities

    The committee supports the Department of Defense's (DOD) 
continued advancements in hypersonic missile development, and 
notes the particular need for precise testing and evaluation of 
these missiles in a controlled environment. Currently, the U.S. 
defense industrial base does not feature a test facility 
dedicated to demonstrating boost phase propulsion for 
airbreathing ramjet systems. Ramjet engines are a form of 
airbreathing jet engine that uses forward motion to compress 
incoming air to generate thrust, as opposed to relying on an 
axial compressor as in a traditional jet engine. Because these 
engines cannot produce thrust at zero airspeed, ramjet powered 
weapons require the use of a booster rocket to accelerate to a 
speed where the ramjet engine begins to produce thrust. 
Thorough testing of a fully integrated flight-representative 
ramjet or scramjet powered missile requires evaluating the 
entire transition phase, from the firing of the booster rocket 
to the ignition of the ramjet engine.
    The committee notes that the Government-owned, contractor-
operated Allegany Ballistics Laboratory (ABL) holds decades of 
experience in rocket motor development, testing and production 
and could serve as a prime location to establish a test 
facility for fully integrated flight-representative 
airbreathing hypersonic weapons.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a feasibility report, not later than February 1, 
2023, that determines the value to the DOD of expansion of 
ABL's Advanced Propulsion Research Complex to establish an 
advanced airbreathing propulsion test facility. Specific 
upgrades would include expansion of the facility's air storage 
capacity, installment of a steam ejector system that will 
simulate high altitude flight, and upgrading a thrust stand to 
enable precise measurements of thrust.

Report on enhanced radar space situational awareness

    The committee supports ongoing efforts by the National 
Science Foundation, its National Radio Astronomy Observatory, 
and industry partners to develop the Next Generation Very Large 
Array (ngVLA) and a new high-power radar transmitter for the 
Green Bank Telescope. This concept incorporates new 
technologies to produce a high-power, high-availability radar 
system capable of providing radar observations deep into the 
cislunar space region--suitable for scientific and surveillance 
purposes--beyond what existing systems can provide.
    Additionally, the committee believes that coupling the 
high-power radar transmitter with the current Very Large 
Baseline Array and the future ngVLA could provide the 
Department of Defense (DOD) and its services with important 
national security capabilities for navigation and space domain 
awareness (SDA).
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to evaluate and report on the risks and vulnerabilities of its 
current ground-based radar infrastructure and the DOD's project 
program needs, with a particular emphasis on needs that the new 
Green Bank radar system may be able to address. The Secretary 
of Defense shall provide a report to the congressional defense 
committees not later than March 1, 2023. The report shall 
include, at a minimum, the following:
          (1) A review of current SDA capabilities and 
        shortfalls;
          (2) Plans, funding, and timelines for future SDA 
        radar observation capabilities;
          (3) An assessment of potential development activities 
        and their ability to support DOD SDA requirements;
          (4) Recommendations on a roadmap to acquire and field 
        enhanced SDA radar observation capabilities to meet DOD 
        national security requirements; and
          (5) Necessary efforts to develop and maintain the 
        science, technology, engineering, and math workforce to 
        develop, operate and maintain these new capabilities.

Report on future space launch strategy

    Over the next 15 years, the Department of Defense (DOD) 
plans to develop a proliferated constellation of low and medium 
orbit satellites to detect and track, with fire-control 
quality, both ballistic and non-ballistic missiles. This 
constellation will have a more limited life span than systems 
that are used in geostationary orbit and will require multiple 
replenishment launches over the life of the constellation.
    In addition, the Department must satisfy ongoing 
requirements associated with geostationary orbit and beyond. 
Placing payloads, many of which are of high mass, into these 
far orbits requires large amounts of energy, and the DOD has 
invested billions of dollars into ensuring successful mission 
completion, and by all accounts has been successful.
    The committee is interested in this balance between low 
orbit constellations and medium and geostationary assets that 
must be reconciled in a future acquisition strategy by the DOD 
that balances cost, risk, and innovation after the 2030s.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to report to the congressional defense committees no 
later than March 31, 2023 on how it plans to develop an 
acquisition strategy between low earth and high energy launches 
into medium, geostationary and beyond after 2040. This report 
should also outline any future research area relative to this 
acquisition strategy.

Report on military applications of uranium-233 and thorium

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to report to 
the committee, no later than March 31, 2023, on using uranium-
233 and a thorium-based nuclear fuel cycle by the United States 
Armed Forces.
    This report should address: (1) Potential molten-salt 
breeder reactors fueled by uranium-233 to provide energy for 
military installations in and outside the United States; (2) 
Current risks to members of the United States Armed Forces 
transporting fuel and operating such power reactors in theaters 
of conflict; (3) Risks of potential nuclear proliferation of an 
overseas-based reactor powered by uranium-235 relative to such 
a reactor powered by uranium-233; (4) The potential value of 
employing reactors in military space assets for propulsion and 
power using a thorium-based nuclear fuel cycle; and (5) The 
status of peer and near-peer adversary technological 
development with regard to possible military applications of a 
thorium-based nuclear fuel cycle.

Report on United States Space Command space intelligence directorate 
        staffing

    The U.S. Space Command was re-instituted in 2020, the same 
year as the authorization of the U.S. Space Force. As part of 
its manning, the development of a space intelligence 
directorate or J2 is in its nascent stages. Accordingly, 
ensuring U.S. Space Command is adequately staffed to understand 
the threats as it develops contingency and operational plans is 
paramount.
    Therefore the committee directs the Commander, U.S. Space 
Command, in consultation with the Director of National 
Intelligence, to provide a report to the congressional defense 
and intelligence committees, not later than March 31, 2023, on 
a 5-year staffing plan to ensure it can adequately inform the 
Commander, U.S. Space Command, in meeting responsibilities 
under the Unified Command Plan.

Report on United States Strategic Command's Nuclear Command, Control, 
        and Communications special acquisition capability

    The U.S. Strategic Command was tasked in the 2018 Nuclear 
Posture Review to be the lead Department of Defense (DOD) 
organization for establishing requirements and future 
capability architectures for the Nuclear Command, Control, and 
Communications (NC3) system. The development of future NC3 
requirements and capabilities, particularly those with respect 
to future architectures across the entire DOD, require the 
ability to test nascent concepts that are pre-demonstration 
through the validation phase across multiple military services.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Vice Chairman of the 
Joint Chiefs of Staff, acting through the Commander, U.S. 
Strategic Command, in consultation with the Director of the DOD 
Office of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation and the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, to submit 
a report to the congressional defense committees, not later 
than March 31, 2023, on whether additional acquisition 
authorities are required for U.S. Strategic Command to develop 
specialized software and hardware integration capabilities that 
will enable it to refine current and future NC3 hardware and 
architectures that can then be transferred to the services for 
acquisition.

Review of information sharing procedures between the United States and 
        the United Kingdom

    The committee recognizes the importance of the parallel 
efforts of the United States and the United Kingdom as they 
independently pursue development of the W93 and the sovereign 
replacement warhead, respectively. However, the committee also 
understands that the policies and procedures that govern 
information sharing under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (Public 
Law 83-703) and the Mutual Defense Agreement between the United 
States of America and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and 
Northern Ireland for Cooperation on the Uses of Atomic Energy 
for Mutual Defense Purposes, signed at Washington, D.C., on 
July 3, 1958, and entered into force August 4, 1958, have not 
evolved substantially. The committee believes that in order to 
ensure cooperative efforts between the United States and United 
Kingdom are able to proceed as efficiently as possible, 
information control policies and procedures should be 
periodically reviewed to account for advances in communications 
technology.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to review 
the statutory, regulatory, and policy frameworks governing the 
sharing of atomic energy information for defense purposes 
between the United States and United Kingdom, assess the 
potential impact on cooperative efforts related to each 
country's independent weapons development program, and develop 
options to streamline information sharing processes and 
procedures in a manner that accounts for modern requirements 
and communications capabilities, while maintaining a high level 
of confidence that such information will continue to be 
protected accordingly.
    The Secretary of Defense shall submit a report on the 
findings of this review to the congressional defense 
committees, along with any applicable recommendations 
developed, not later than February 28, 2023.

Space Development Agency Middle Tier Acquisition Authority

    The committee notes that the William M. (Mac) Thornberry 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public 
Law 116-283), required the Space Development Agency to be 
transitioned to the Space Force not later than October 2022. 
Critical to the ability of the Space Development Agency to 
execute its mission is the ability to utilize Middle Tier 
Acquisition (MTA) Authority and Other Transaction Authority 
(OTA) to rapidly execute its mission. On April 12, 2022, the 
Director of the Space Development Agency designated the 
National Defense Space Architecture, Tranche 1 Tracking Layer, 
which consists of 28 satellites, to perform missile warning and 
tracking as a Middle Tier Acquisition Program consistent with 
Department of Defense Instruction 5000.80. The committee 
believes it is essential that the Secretary of the Air Force, 
acting through the Service Acquisition Executive for Space, 
fully support the Space Development Agency's utilization of 
these and other authorities to ensure the rapid fielding of 
existing and future satellite systems and architectures, while 
ensuring that there is also a clear transition plan, life-cycle 
cost estimate, and test plan.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the congressional defense 
committees, not later than March 31, 2023, on the transition of 
the Space Development Agency to the Space Force and efforts to 
ensure it can continue to rapidly execute its mission through 
the use of Middle Tier Acquisition Authority and hire necessary 
personnel at the Senior Executive Service level as well as the 
necessary management support including financial systems and 
contracting.

Space Force report on future architecture of narrowband communications 
        satellites

    The transfer of the fleet of narrowband communications 
satellites from the Navy to the Space Force will occur over the 
next 2 to 3 years. In particular, the availability of the 
constellations of the existing Ultra-High Frequency Follow On 
Satellites will gradually decline over the next 5 years with 
the requirement that the constellation of the Mobile User 
Objective System (MUOS) of narrowband satellites take their 
place. The Space Force plans to add MUOS satellites six and 
seven to the existing constellation. However, the committee is 
unclear what the out-year costs of the transfer will be, as 
well as the status of a follow on analysis of alternatives 
consistent with the Government Accountability Office (GAO) 
report, published September 2, 2021, titled ``Satellite 
Communications: DOD Should Explore Options to Meet User Needs 
for Narrowband Capabilities'' (GAO-21-105283).
    Therefore the committee directs the Space Force to submit a 
report to the congressional defense committees, not later than 
March 31, 2023, outlining the 5-year cost through fiscal year 
2027 of this transfer and operations as well as a date certain 
for the start of an analysis of alternatives for a follow on 
architecture for narrow band communications in the Department 
of Defense.

Space launch

    The committee believes that with respect to entering into 
contracts for launch services and consistent with the 2020 
National Space Policy, it shall be the policy of the Department 
of Defense to foster a robust, innovative, and competitive 
commercial launch sector that reduces taxpayer costs and limits 
the Government's role in market distortion wherever possible, 
while also supporting the national interests of the United 
States and advancing the United States' role as a preeminent 
leader in space.
    The committee recognizes that the face of the space domain 
is changing rapidly, and careful consideration needs to be 
given to the future of access to space for national security 
purposes. Therefore, the committee directs the Chief of Space 
Operations, in coordination with the Space Acquisition 
Executive, to submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees, not later than March 31, 2023, with a detailed 
assessment of the feasibility and advisability of using agile 
and adaptable acquisition strategies for innovative launch 
capabilities.

Status of the ICBM Transporter-Erector and Payload Transporter system

    Meeting U.S. Strategic Command readiness standards for 
intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) necessitates that 
Air Force Global Strike Command maintains the capability to 
safely and efficiently transport Minuteman III solid rocket 
boosters over long distances, as well as to load and unload 
missile silos with extremely tight tolerances. Each Minuteman 
III ICBM is approximately 60 feet long and weighs nearly 80,000 
pounds, so the capability to consistently execute these 
activities requires that airmen have access to durable, 
resilient support equipment that can withstand repeated use and 
the often austere environments where missile fields are found.
    The Air Force Transporter-Erector Replacement Program and 
the Payload Transporter Replacement Program are expected to 
modernize existing missile booster and reentry system handling 
equipment and support ICBM operations through the transition to 
the Sentinel ICBM weapon system. A critical element of these 
systems are the hoists each will employ to lift and position 
the ICBM components--hoists that will need to stand up to 
repeated use and extremely heavy loads without fail. However, 
the committee understands the hoist will be re-used from an 
older ICBM transporter-erector system. It is critical that the 
committee be assured that this equipment can perform the duties 
expected over the existing life of the Minuteman III ICBM.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force, not later than March 31, 2023, to provide a briefing to 
the congressional defense committees on the Transporter-Erector 
Replacement Program and the Payload Transporter Replacement 
Program, in particular the hoist system for unloading and 
loading the ICBM, and anticipated security enhancements 
provided by these programs. Further, the committee directs, as 
part of this briefing, an update on efforts to develop the two 
similar systems for the Sentinel ICBM weapon system or whether 
the existing transporter-erector and payload transporter will 
be used or modified.

Survivable Airborne Operations Center

    The committee continues to support the timely acquisition 
of the Survivable Airborne Operations Center (SAOC) weapons 
system as a replacement for the E-4B National Airborne 
Operations Center, which is approaching the end of its 
serviceable life.
    The committee is aware the Air Force plans to release its 
Request for Proposal (RFP) in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 
2022, and is currently conducting industry-supported market 
research to support the RFP's release, as well as documentation 
development for milestone decisions.
    The committee notes that the SAOC threshold fleet size 
requirement is six aircraft and objective fleet size is eight 
aircraft, and that the Air Force is considering awarding a 
single contract for the entire weapons system development in 
2024, including options to acquire production aircraft 
beginning in 2029.
    While the committee understands this represents a notional 
purchase schedule, it is nevertheless concerned that it may not 
be feasible, considering the very limited supply of suitable 
commercial derivative very large four-engine aircraft. The 
committee believes it is important to ensure that production 
decisions are made before opportunities to acquire candidate 
aircraft becomes significantly more challenging.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Air Force to provide 
a briefing to the Senate Armed Services Committee, not later 
than December 1, 2022, on the results of its market research, 
and the feasibility and advisability of awarding an initial 
contract that would meet the threshold fleet size requirement.

Update on the Department of Defense's use of hosted payloads

    Hosting, or placing, Department of Defense (DOD) sensors or 
communications packages--called payloads--on non-DOD satellites 
is a way the DOD can achieve on-orbit capability faster and 
more affordably. Using hosted payloads would also help 
facilitate a proliferation of payloads on orbit, making it more 
difficult for an adversary to defeat a capability.
    On July 30, 2018, the Government Accountability Office 
(GAO) released a report, titled ``Military Space Systems: DOD's 
Use of Commercial Satellites to Host Defense Payloads Would 
Benefit from Centralizing Data'' (GAO-18-493), that found that 
the DOD had limited experience using the hosted payload concept 
for operational space missions. It also found that 
opportunities for the DOD to use hosted payloads may emerge as 
it planned new and follow-on space systems, but that the DOD's 
knowledge on using hosted payloads was fragmented, in part 
because programs were not required to share information. The 
GAO recommended that the DOD require programs using 
commercially hosted payloads to contribute resulting lessons 
learned data to a central location. The DOD implemented the 
recommendation.
    The committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to provide an update on:
          (1) The extent to which the DOD is using hosted 
        payloads; and
          (2) The extent to which the DOD continues to face 
        barriers for considering and adopting the hosted 
        payload concept.
    The Comptroller General shall provide preliminary 
observations to the congressional defense committees not later 
than May 1, 2023, with a report to follow on an agreed upon 
date.

                 TITLE XVI--CYBERSPACE RELATED MATTERS

         Subtitle A--Matters Relating to Cyber Operations and 
                              Cyber Forces

Annual assessments and reports on assignment of certain budget control 
        responsibility to Commander of United States Cyber Command 
        (sec. 1601)
    The committee recommends a provision that would direct the 
Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, in coordination with the 
Principal Cyber Advisor of the Department of Defense, to assess 
the implementation of the transition of responsibilities 
assigned to the Commander.
    The provision would also direct the Commander to submit a 
report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives, not later than 90 days after the 
end of each fiscal year, beginning in fiscal year 2023, on the 
findings of the Commander, with respect to the assessment for 
that fiscal year.
Alignment of Department of Defense cyber international strategy with 
        National Defense Strategy and Department of Defense Cyber 
        Strategy (sec. 1602)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to undertake efforts to align the 
Department of Defense cybersecurity cooperation enterprise and 
the Department's cyberspace operational partnerships with the 
National Defense Strategy, Department of Defense Cyber 
Strategy, and the 2019 Department of Defense International 
Cyberspace Security Cooperation Guidance. The provision would 
also require annual briefings and reports to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives 
on the implementation of this provision and cyber international 
strategy activities of the Department.
    The committee recognizes that as the Department of Defense 
works to adapt and respond to evolving cybersecurity 
challenges, cyber defense partnerships with foreign partners 
play an integral role in enabling U.S. Cyber Command's 
operational mission; enhancing foreign partner capacity to 
prevent, mitigate, and respond to cyberattacks; and ensuring 
common defense in cyberspace. The committee also recognizes the 
importance of Department of Defense efforts to undertake 
cyberspace security cooperation efforts. However, the committee 
is concerned that these efforts are currently not well aligned, 
and could be better coordinated to improve the Department's 
ability to work with U.S. allies and partners to strengthen 
cyber capacity, expand combined cyberspace operations, and 
increase bi-directional information sharing in order to advance 
mutual interests. The committee is also concerned that the 
Department's internal capacity to support international 
strategy policy engagements with allies and partners is not 
adequate to meet the current needs and encourages the 
Department to work towards growing these capacities.
    The committee remains interested in continued efforts by 
the Department to enhance the cybersecurity capacity of foreign 
partners. The committee encourages the Department of Defense to 
fully use authorities in section 333 of title 10, United States 
Code, which authorize security cooperation with foreign 
partners on cyberspace security and defensive cyberspace 
operations. Accordingly, the committee directs the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Policy, Director, Defense Security 
Cooperation Agency, and Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, to 
provide a briefing to the committee, not later than December 1, 
2022, that includes details on the Department's existing 
cybersecurity capacity building efforts for foreign partners, 
including information on development and execution of 
engagement plans; training, joint exercises, and partnership 
programs; and plans to expand capacity building efforts.
Correcting cyber mission force readiness shortfalls (sec. 1603)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of 
Staff to develop a plan and recommendations to correct 
readiness shortfalls in the Cyber Mission Forces and implement 
such recommendations.
Cybersecurity cooperation training at Joint Military Attache School 
        (sec. 1604)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, in 
coordination with the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, and the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, to develop and 
incorporate cybersecurity cooperation training at the Joint 
Military Attache School (JMAS).
    Cyberspace international strategy engagement with allies 
and partners is a key element of the 2018 Department of Defense 
Cyber Strategy. The committee is aware of increased focus on 
growing these activities and of a current experience gap in the 
cyber mission space of many military attaches. The committee 
believes that coverage of cybersecurity cooperation within 
existing JMAS training is not adequate, given the growing focus 
on cyberspace operations and security cooperation activities 
conducted by the Department. Therefore, the committee 
encourages the Department to strengthen this element of the 
JMAS program.
Strategy, force, and capability development for cyber effects and 
        security in support of operational forces (sec. 1605)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Deputy Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Vice 
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to develop a strategy 
for converged cyber and electronic warfare conducted by and 
through deployed military and intelligence assets operating in 
the radio frequency domain to provide strategic, operational, 
and tactical effects in support of combatant commanders.
    The committee strongly endorses the initiative to 
capitalize on radio frequency-enabled cyber effects 
opportunities and to create a framework to ensure that the 
Department of Defense's science and technology organizations 
have a pathway available to mature and transition new 
capabilities and are incentivized to continuously produce such 
capabilities. This provision is intended to ensure that there 
are also transition partners in the Department's operational 
forces and appropriate command and control relationships in 
place to successfully apply these capabilities.
    In addition, the committee believes it is essential for the 
Department to determine its requirements and roles for what are 
referred to as ``service-retained'' cyber forces for both 
defensive and offensive support to combatant commands. The 
committee expects that these service-retained forces would 
become part of the personnel rotation through elements of the 
Cyberspace Operations Forces for career progression. These 
forces would also fulfill critical roles in protecting deployed 
and often disconnected weapons systems and platforms and 
supporting offensive cyber operations executed by military 
units and systems.
Total force generation for the Cyberspace Operations Forces (sec. 1606)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Personnel and Readiness, the Director of the Joint 
Staff, and the Secretaries of the military departments, in 
coordination with the Principal Cyber Advisor of the Department 
of Defense and the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM), to 
complete a study on the responsibilities of the military 
services for organizing, training, and presenting forces to 
CYBERCOM and submit recommendations on a future force 
generation model for cyberspace operations forces. The 
provision would also require the Secretary of Defense to 
establish a new or revised force generation model for the 
cyberspace operations forces and submit an implementation plan 
on the new or revised model.
    The committee is concerned about continued readiness 
challenges with cyberspace operations forces, particularly with 
the Navy contributions to the Cyber Mission Force. The 
committee believes that the mission of the Cyber Mission Force 
and Cyberspace Operations Force has evolved significantly, and 
that it is an appropriate time to use the operational and 
organizational lessons learned since U.S. Cyber Command was 
established in 2010 to re-evaluate the responsibilities of the 
military services for organizing, training, and presenting 
forces to U.S. Cyber Command.

Management and oversight of Joint Cyber Warfighting Architecture (sec. 
        1607)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Deputy Secretary of Defense to establish a program executive 
office (PEO) to manage and provide oversight of the 
implementation and integration of the Joint Cyber Warfighting 
Architecture and components of the Architecture.
    In proposing the creation of a PEO that is independent of 
any one service and that reports to the Commander, U.S. Cyber 
Command (CYBERCOM), and the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment, the committee does not intend to 
preclude nesting this PEO within CYBERCOM itself.
    The committee also intends that the PEO personnel have 
expertise in and are committed to agile development processes 
and systems integration and have expertise in cyberspace 
technology and operations.

Study to determine the optimal strategy for structuring and manning 
        elements of the Joint Force Headquarters-Cyber Organizations, 
        Joint Mission Operations Centers, and Cyber Operations-
        Integrated Planning Elements (sec. 1608)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Principal Cyber Advisor of the Department of Defense to conduct 
a study to determine the optimal strategy for structure and 
manning elements of the Joint Force Headquarters cyber 
organizations, joint mission operations centers, and Cyber 
Operations-Integrated Planning Elements.
    The committee is frustrated that the previous report on 
this topic, as required by section 1656 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92), did 
not address many of the required elements. The committee 
encourages the Department to fully address all of the elements 
required by this study and to provide robust recommendations on 
an optimal strategy for providing cyber support to the 
geographic combatant commands.

Annual briefing on relationship between National Security Agency and 
        United States Cyber Command (sec. 1609)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the congressional 
defense committees, not later than March 1, 2023, and not less 
frequently than 1 year thereafter until March 1, 2028, on the 
relationship between the National Security Agency and U.S. 
Cyber Command.
    The committee is aware that concerns have been raised about 
whether the dual hat leadership arrangement, where the National 
Security Agency and U.S. Cyber Command are led by the same 
person, adversely impacts either organization. The committee 
believes that over the last few years, the dual hat leadership 
arrangement has demonstrated improved effectiveness both in 
support of military operations and in defense of the Nation. 
The committee understands that in the cyber domain success 
depends on speed, agility, and unity of effort, all of which 
are enhanced with the dual hat relationship. The committee also 
understands that having a single individual accountable for the 
mission outcomes of both organizations allows that individual 
to allocate resources and assess and mitigate risk to provide 
unity of effort in operations. The committee believes that the 
dual hat relationship ensures a strategic alignment between 
these organizations and is essential to the Nation's success in 
strategic competition.

Review of certain cyber operations personnel policies (sec. 1610)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to complete a review, not later than 180 
days after the date of the enactment of this Act, of the 
Departmental guidance and processes consistent with section 
167b(d)(2)(A)(x) of title 10, United States Code, with respect 
to the authority of the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, to 
monitor the promotions of certain cyber operations forces and 
coordinate with the Secretaries regarding the assignment, 
retention, training, professional military education, and 
special and incentive pays of certain cyber operations forces. 
The provision would also require the Secretary of Defense to 
submit to the congressional defense committees a report on the 
review not later than 90 days after the date on which the 
review is completed.

Military cybersecurity cooperation with Kingdom of Jordan (sec. 1611)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense, acting through the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Policy, in coordination with the Commanders, U.S. 
Cyber Command and U.S. Central Command, and the Secretary of 
State, to seek to engage their counterparts within the Ministry 
of Defence of the Kingdom of Jordan for the purpose of 
expanding cooperation on military cybersecurity activities.

Commander of the United States Cyber Command (sec. 1612)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 167b of title 10, United States Code, to establish a 4-
year term for the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, and allow the 
President to nominate and appoint the Commander, U.S. Cyber 
Command, for one additional 4 year term with the advice and 
consent of the Senate.

Assessment and report on sharing military cyber capabilities with 
        foreign operational partners (sec. 1613)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense, with the concurrence of the Secretary of 
State, to conduct an assessment and provide a report on such 
assessment of sharing military cyber capabilities of the Armed 
Forces with foreign partners of the United States for immediate 
operational use to cause effects on targets or enable 
collection of information from targets.

Report on progress in implementing pilot program to enhance 
        cybersecurity and resiliency of critical infrastructure (sec. 
        1614)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require a 
report on the progress made in implementing the 2018 memorandum 
of understanding entered into pursuant to the John S. McCain 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public 
Law 115-232).

Protection of critical infrastructure (sec. 1615)

    The committee recommends a provision that would allow the 
President, on determination of an active, systemic, and ongoing 
campaign of attacks in cyberspace by a foreign power against 
the Government or the critical infrastructure of the United 
States, to authorize the Secretary of Defense, acting through 
the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, to conduct military cyber 
activities or operations pursuant to section 394 of title 10, 
United States Code, in foreign cyberspace to deter, safeguard, 
or defend against such attacks.

Subtitle B--Matters Relating to Department of Defense Cybersecurity and 
                         Information Technology


Budget display for cryptographic modernization activities for certain 
        systems of the Department of Defense (sec. 1621)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a consolidated cryptographic 
modernization budget justification display for certain covered 
items.
    The committee is deeply concerned about the irresponsible 
management of the cryptographic modernization process by the 
military departments and the failure of oversight on the part 
of the Office of the Secretary of Defense and the Joint Staff 
over an extended period of years.
    The National Security Agency (NSA) is responsible for 
developing cryptographic solutions to protect vital Department 
of Defense (DOD) weapons, platforms, networks, data links, 
command and control systems, communications systems, 
intelligence programs, and other warfighting systems. The NSA 
also monitors the development of threats to DOD cryptographic 
systems and establishes dates by which obsolete cryptography 
must be replaced.
    The military departments and other DOD Components are 
responsible for budgeting for the procurement, installation, 
and sustainment of cryptographic devices and capabilities. 
There is a process under which components may request waivers 
or extensions for cryptography that the NSA deems obsolete and 
appeal decisions to not grant such waivers or extensions. This 
process exists to provide flexibility within the Department for 
unexpected obstacles to timely replacement of cryptography that 
is under threat of compromise. However, DOD Components have 
routinely sought and received waivers and extensions as a way 
to delay difficult budget tradeoffs and have assumed that such 
extensions would continue to be approved, leading to serious 
impacts on operations and operations security.
    The committee applauds the actions of the current and 
former Vice Chairmen of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Joint 
Staff, and the current and former Deputy Secretaries of Defense 
for refusing to grant additional waivers and for taking 
decisive steps to fix the problem.
    The committee notes that, under the current budget process, 
cryptology funds are embedded in the overall budgets for each 
weapon, platform, or system that will use cryptography, which 
provides minimal visibility for those responsible for 
oversight, including the Congress. In light of what has 
transpired, the committee believes it is necessary to require 
much greater transparency for the cryptographic modernization 
budget and plans.

Establishing projects for data management, artificial intelligence, and 
        digital solutions (sec. 1622)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Deputy Secretary of Defense to establish priority enterprise 
projects for data management, artificial intelligence, and 
digital solutions for business efficiency and warfighting 
capabilities intended to accelerate decision advantage and 
assign responsibilities for execution and funding of such 
projects.
    The committee supports the Deputy Secretary's decision to 
create the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office 
under the Deputy Secretary's direct supervision. The committee 
emphasizes that this important initiative cannot succeed 
without the Deputy Secretary's personal and persistent 
attention, and explicit direction to the Department of Defense. 
This provision is intended to establish a framework and process 
to assist the Deputy Secretary in managing this initiative and 
holding Department Components accountable for progress.
    The committee also notes that this subject area is rife 
with challenges to enterprise data management and business 
efficiency that provide ready-made potential projects this 
provision could address. Elsewhere in this Act, there are 
provisions related to management reform indicators and 
visualization of management metrics, improved data collection 
and assessment needs for the Mentor Protg Program, modeling and 
simulation of defense industrial base supply chains, system 
upgrade needs for the Congressional Hearings and Reporting 
Requirements Tracking System, and need for an improved 
component content management system that the committee has 
identified as problems in dire need of resolution. The 
committee believes that the Department could find many 
opportunities to apply these technologies to address defense 
needs, but has heretofore lacked the necessary leadership 
attention and focus to make progress.

Operational testing for commercial cybersecurity capabilities (sec. 
        1623)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require a 
determination from the Director of Operational Test and 
Evaluation in certain areas prior to operating a commercial 
cybersecurity capability on a Department of Defense network. 
The provision would also allow an acquisition executive of a 
military service or Department Component to waive the 
requirement.

Plan for commercial cloud test and evaluation (sec. 1624)

    The committee recommends a provision that would direct the 
Secretary of Defense, in consultation with commercial industry, 
to submit a policy and plan to the Committees on Armed Services 
of the Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than 
180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, on the 
test and evaluation of the cybersecurity of the clouds of 
commercial cloud service providers.

Report on recommendations from Navy Civilian Career Path study (sec. 
        1625)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of the Navy to submit a report to the congressional 
defense committees, not later than 90 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, on the recommendations made in the 
report related to improving cyber career paths in the Navy 
submitted to the congressional defense committees under section 
1653(a)(2) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92). The provision would also require 
the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a 
review of such report from the Secretary of the Navy.
    The committee is aware of the results of the report and 
strongly supports these recommendations. The committee is 
discouraged in the progress the Secretary is making in adopting 
these recommendations and encourages the Secretary to implement 
as many of the recommendations as quickly as possible.

Review of Department of Defense implementation of recommendations from 
        Defense Science Board cyber report (sec. 1626)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to complete a review, not later than March 
1, 2023, of the findings and recommendations presented in the 
Defense Science Board (DSB) report, published June 2018, titled 
``Cyber as a Strategic Capability.'' The provision would also 
require the Secretary of Defense to submit to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a 
report on the review not later than April 1, 2023.
    The committee believes that there were many valuable 
findings and recommendations in the DSB report, and is 
frustrated that many of the findings have not yet been 
addressed. The committee encourages the Department of Defense 
to address as many of the findings as possible and to develop 
adoption plans for the recommendations.

Requirement for software bill of materials (sec. 1627)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to amend the Department of Defense 
Supplement to the Federal Acquisition Regulation to require a 
software bill of materials for all non-commercial software 
created for or acquired by the Department of Defense.
    The provision would also require certain Department 
officials to provide recommendations and the Secretary to 
conduct a study of acquiring a software bill of materials for 
software already acquired by the Department. In addition, the 
provision would require the Secretary, in consultation with 
industry, to develop an approach for commercial software that 
provides policies and processes for operationalizing software 
bills of materials to enable the Department to understand more 
promptly the cybersecurity risks to Department capabilities 
posed by discoveries of vulnerabilities and compromises in 
commercial and open source software.
    Finally, the provision would require the Secretary to 
request information on options to identify software to enable 
risk assessments and patching of security vulnerabilities 
detected absent a reliable bill of materials.

Establishment of support center for consortium of universities that 
        advise Secretary of Defense on cybersecurity matters (sec. 
        1628)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 1659 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) to require the Secretary 
of Defense to establish a center to support the consortium of 
universities established to assist the Secretary on certain 
cybersecurity matters.
    The committee is aware of the efforts by the Department of 
Defense to establish this consortium and encourages the 
Department to fully utilize the assistance that can be provided 
by the required support center.

Roadmap and implementation plan for cyber adoption of artificial 
        intelligence (sec. 1629)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, and the Chief Information 
Officer of the Department of Defense (DOD), in coordination 
with the Chief Data and Artificial Intelligence Officer of the 
Department, the Director of Defense Advanced Research Projects 
Agency, and the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and 
Engineering, to jointly develop a 5-year roadmap and 
implementation plan, not later than 270 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, for rapidly adopting artificial 
intelligence (AI) applications to the warfighter cyber missions 
within the DOD.
    The committee is aware of the strong emphasis that the 
National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence put on 
developing and defending against AI-enhanced capabilities in 
the cyber domain. The committee is concerned about the lack of 
adoption of AI-enhanced cyber capabilities within the 
Department of Defense Information Network cybersecurity 
enterprise and at U.S. Cyber Command. The committee is 
particularly concerned that the Accelerating Data and 
Artificial Intelligence Initiative, directed by the Deputy 
Secretary of Defense for the purpose of improving tactical 
artificial intelligence at the combatant commands, does not 
include any efforts for activities at U.S. Cyber Command.

Demonstration program for cyber and information technology budget data 
        analytics (sec. 1630)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Chief Information Officer of the Department of Defense, in 
coordination with the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence 
Officer, to complete a pilot program to demonstrate the 
application of data analytics to the fiscal year 2024 cyber and 
information technology budget data of a military service.

Limitation on availability of funds for operation and maintenance for 
        Office of Secretary of Defense until framework to enhance 
        cybersecurity of United States defense industrial base is 
        completed (sec. 1631)

    The committee recommends a provision that would limit 
certain funds from obligation or expenditure until the 
framework required by section 1648 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92) is 
completed and submitted to the congressional defense 
committees.
    The committee is disappointed in the lack of coordination 
of efforts within the Department of Defense to improve 
cybersecurity of the defense industrial base since the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 was enacted. The 
committee is aware of several elements of the framework that 
are being discussed within the Department, but is frustrated by 
the piecemeal approach being taken to this topic.

Assessments of weapons systems vulnerabilities to radio-frequency 
        enabled cyber attacks (sec. 1632)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to ensure that certain activities include 
regular assessments of the vulnerabilities to and risks 
presented by radio-frequency enabled cyber attacks with respect 
to certain aspects of certain systems.

                       Items of Special Interest


Army Research Laboratory collaboration on electromagnetic warfare and 
        radio frequency sensors

    The committee supports the continued growth of the Army 
Research Laboratory's collaboration with academia in the 
development of technology to enable and validate new, 
distributed electromagnetic warfare and radio frequency (RF) 
sensors to provide leap-ahead performance improvement in 
coverage, targeting, engagement timelines, jamming power on 
target, new electromagnetic warfare effects, and enhanced 
survivability of participating platforms. These investments, 
such as modeling, simulation, and emulation of distributed RF 
effects, advanced materials-based antennas and RF electronics, 
sophisticated algorithms and techniques to distract and confuse 
threats, and methods and algorithms for synchronizing across 
many platforms to enable large-scale and distributed effects, 
will accelerate the transformation of current RF and sensor 
architectures, providing marked performance improvement of 
electromagnetic warfare and radar systems. These advances will 
enable new systems to meet the near-term enduring battlespace 
challenges of survivability, redundancy, frequency exclusivity, 
and dependence on the global positioning system.

Comptroller General assessment of cloud service providers' data fees

    Data egress fees are charges cloud service providers (CSPs) 
bill to customers for moving their data from the CSP's cloud 
infrastructure to another CSP or the customer's own data 
center. Some cloud services companies' pricing models 
incentivize cloud migration by offsetting or waiving upfront 
adoption costs (such as data ingress charges) while charging 
fees for data egress that create significant disincentives for 
customers to move their data from one provider to another. Such 
fees can defeat the purpose of best-practice multi-cloud 
policies that sustain competition among CSPs. The committee is 
concerned that the Department of Defense (DOD) has not 
accounted for these and other potential hidden costs, their 
vendor 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.
    The committee, therefore, directs the Comptroller General 
of the United States to conduct an assessment on data egress, 
other data management fees, and other potential unaccounted for 
costs, and the impact such fees and costs could have on the 
Department of Defense as it transitions to cloud services and 
leverages innovation across multiple CSPs. The committee 
specifically directs the Comptroller General to assess: (1) If 
data egress fees could practically result in vendor lock-in, 
and the costs associated with any potential lock-in; (2) How 
data egress and other data movement and manipulation fees could 
limit the utility of multi-cloud and hybrid cloud 
architectures, or indirectly limit the ability of the DOD to 
fully exploit its own data; (3) How the DOD is capturing, 
tracking, and reporting on data egress and other associated 
fees (such as through monthly status reports, or other DOD 
acquisition information systems); (4) How the DOD is addressing 
the risks associated with data egress and other fees; (5) 
Whether the Department's risk mitigation plan is sufficient; 
(6) Whether the Department would benefit by requiring that 
future cloud service procurements prohibit or limit data egress 
and other data management-related fees; (7) What, if any, data 
egress and other data management fees should be allowable; and 
(8) Any additional matters the Comptroller General determines 
appropriate. The committee directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing on the assessment to the congressional 
defense committees not later than March 1, 2023, with a final 
report to follow at a mutually agreed upon date.

Comptroller General Review of Cybersecurity Maturity Model 
        Certification Reciprocity

    The committee notes its continued interest in the 
successful implementation of the Cybersecurity Maturity Model 
Certification (CMMC) process at the Department of Defense. The 
committee has consistently raised concerns about needing to 
improve the cybersecurity of the defense industrial base (DIB), 
balanced with the needs of small and medium-sized businesses. 
As such, the committee applauds the Department for the recent 
efforts to modify the CMMC requirements to a risk-based 
approach that addresses a range of concerns that were provided 
to the Department.
    However, the committee is concerned that the current CMMC 
regulations still do not clearly address CMMC compliance for 
commercial off-the-shelf technical and software component 
solutions. Further, the committee is concerned that there was 
no consideration of providing reciprocity to elements of the 
DIB that have already achieved some level of Federal Risk and 
Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) certification. The 
committee believes the Department can take some additional 
steps to achieve greater CMMC compliance for the DIB.
    The committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to conduct an assessment of the Department's 
incorporation of reciprocity in the CMMC process. The 
assessment shall also include what steps the Department of 
Defense is taking to provide a general CMMC certification for 
commercial off-the-shelf technology that may be used by small 
businesses as their primary information technology systems. The 
assessment shall include a comparison of how the CMMC 
certification model includes requirements for FedRAMP 
certification. The assessment shall also investigate what 
additional costs may be associated with CMMC compliance if a 
member of the DIB already has achieved a similar FedRAMP 
certification level. The committee directs the Comptroller 
General to provide a briefing on preliminary observations to 
the congressional defense committees not later than February 1, 
2023, with a final report to follow on a mutually agreed date.

Department of Defense Information Network Approved Products List 
        process

    The committee recognizes the importance of ensuring that 
products and support used as part of the Department of Defense 
Information Network (DODIN) are secure, trusted, and approved. 
The committee believes there is no room for compromise in 
meeting and upholding the standards necessary to maintain 
security of the DODIN, to include requiring products to be 
included on the DODIN Approved Products List (APL). The 
committee understands that the Defense Information Systems 
Agency has initiated an assessment of the APL process to ensure 
that current procedures align with new and evolving Department 
priorities. The DOD Chief Information Officer is currently 
reviewing the DODIN APL waiver process.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Chief Information 
Officer 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 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 DODIN.

Election Security Group report

    The committee notes that securing national elections from 
foreign malign actors is ``an enduring, no-fail mission'' for 
U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM). Further, the committee 
recognizes that ensuring fair, secure, and equitable elections 
is imperative to maintaining the integrity of the Government 
and spirit of democracy.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Commander, U.S. 
CYBERCOM, to provide, not later than 60 days following each 
Federal election through the 2032 election cycle, a biennial, 
unclassified report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives on the Command's 
efforts to ensure election security and counter election 
threats throughout the preceding Federal election cycle. The 
report shall include a classified annex, as necessary. 
Additionally, the Commander shall provide a briefing to the 
committees on the election security threat assessment not later 
than September 30 preceding each Federal election through the 
2032 election cycle.

Identity, Credential, and Access Management

    A foundation for zero trust cybersecurity is an effective, 
enterprise-wide identity, credential, and access management 
(ICAM) capability that extends throughout the operational 
force, including intelligence components. The committee 
believes that this will be incredibly important for mission 
networks, including for Joint All Domain Command and Control 
(JADC2). The committee is concerned about different approaches 
from the Department of Defense (DOD) Office of the Chief 
Information Officer (CIO), the Defense Information Systems 
Agency (DISA), and the services regarding the pathway to 
achieving this goal. The committee is aware that there are 
disconnects on the expectations and responsibilities for an 
interoperable federated enterprise solution. The committee is 
also aware that the JADC2 cross-functional team (CFT) recently 
reported that ``ICAM is difficult due to multiple data 
standards, legal and authoritative provenance constraints, and 
licensing issues.'' The committee understands that the 
enterprise ICAM solution that DISA is developing would not 
extend to the operational or tactical and often disconnected 
force or support the needs of mission partner networks. The 
committee is concerned that the complexity of access management 
across the services, domains, and systems for complex joint 
kill chains and missions is not being addressed. The committee 
believes that greater coordination and integration is 
necessary, as well as an accelerated timeline for 
implementation to defend against current cybersecurity threats.
    Accordingly, as part of the efforts required by section 
1528 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2022 (Public Law 117-81), the committee directs the DOD CIO to 
coordinate with the JADC2 CFT, the DISA Director, the service 
CIOs, and the Director of Cost Analysis and Program Evaluation 
to establish and then provide a briefing to the congressional 
defense committees, not later than December 1, 2022, on: (1) 
The agreed end-to-end ICAM architecture and capability 
requirements, including all necessary extensions to operational 
forces; and (2) The roles and responsibilities of DISA and the 
individual services, respectively, for the segments and 
capabilities of the ICAM architecture. The JADC2 CFT shall 
incorporate the results of this effort into the JADC2 
implementation plan and provide a briefing to the congressional 
defense committees not later than April 1, 2023.

Internet of Things security

    The committee supports the Defense Innovations Unit's (DIU) 
mission to accelerate innovation in the commercially focused 
technology sector for the warfighter. The committee is 
concerned with the growing threat to Internet of Things (IoT) 
and endpoint devices. The committee encourages the DIU to find 
and provide access to leading-edge technology to include 
development, design, and security solutions that leverages 
commercial solutions to enhance security of IoT devices by DOD 
organizations. The committee supports these actions and 
encourages DIU to execute projects that leverage commercial 
sector technology analogous to military application, thereby 
increasing dual-use technology agility for the DOD. The 
committee encourages the DIU to continue to work with the 
commercial sector that maintains endpoint devices against these 
threats.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Director of the 
Defense Innovation Unit to provide a briefing, not later than 
December 31, 2022, to the committee on actions to address IoT 
security of endpoint devices and how the DIU is working with 
non-traditional software development industry on these 
innovative technologies.

Multi-cloud strategy

    The Department of Defense's decision to implement a cloud 
smart strategy and use a multi-cloud architecture that allows 
for portability and interoperability across multiple vendors is 
a positive development. The Department should use the latest 
cloud management software technology and enterprise-wide multi-
cloud management principles that allow for applications, data, 
and programs to be portable and interoperable between public, 
private, and edge cloud environments, while minimizing the cost 
and complexity of any unavoidable refactoring. Without the use 
of such enabling multi-cloud management technology, the 
Department will not realize the benefits and operational 
efficiencies and security of a resilient multi-cloud 
architecture, which will lead to unnecessary stove-piping with 
potential national security concerns.

Multi-use secure compartmented information facility

    The committee notes that access to classified spaces is a 
barrier-to-entry for small businesses and nontraditional 
vendors interested in working with the Department of Defense 
(DOD) and the intelligence community (IC). The committee views 
this problem as a significant impediment to the DOD's 
innovation agenda. To help address this problem, the Congress 
previously directed the DOD and the Director of National 
Intelligence to facilitate access for these businesses through 
the authorization and accreditation of multi-use secure 
compartmented information facilities (SCIFs) and to ensure 
efficient use of such expensive taxpayer-funded facilities. 
However, the DOD and the IC have made little progress in 
achieving this objective.
    Further examination indicates that more purposeful action 
by the executive branch is needed to: (1) Ensure that DOD and 
IC components and program managers fully understand that there 
are no policy barriers or regulations inhibiting multi-use 
SCIFs; and (2) Encourage private sector investment in multi-
use, multi-tenant SCIF facilities. The committee also remains 
concerned about the challenges companies face when there is a 
need to access more than one secure network from a single 
secure facility either to serve multiple contracts within a 
single company or multiple users of a shared SCIF. The 
committee understands that the DOD and IC Chief Information 
Officers (CIOs) are working on interoperability between all of 
the various classified networks to enable routing through a 
single network interface, but in practice, installing multiple 
network ``drops''' continues to be required.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Research and Engineering, the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, and the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security to ensure 
that program managers and security managers in both Government 
and industry are aware that: (1) Multi-use and multi-tenant 
SCIFs are not only allowed but encouraged in order to make the 
most efficient use of very expensive taxpayer-funded 
facilities; and (2) Decisions to restrict a SCIF to one program 
or one contract are strongly discouraged and should be allowed 
only in special circumstances.
    Further, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Research and Engineering, in coordination with the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment and 
the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, 
to work with the private sector to develop a strategy to create 
affordable SCIF space in key locations across the country to 
enable small businesses and nontraditional vendors to seek and 
win contracts without having to build their own dedicated SCIF 
spaces and to offer existing contractors less expensive 
alternatives to maintaining their own SCIFs, especially those 
that are under-utilized. This strategy should make it possible 
for companies that win contracts that require expanded SCIF 
space to be able to quickly lease it, without having to wait to 
construct new or additional space. The committee directs the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering to 
provide a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives on the implementation 
of this strategy not later than February 1, 2023.
    Finally, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to evaluate this strategy within 180 days and 
make recommendations to improve DOD policies and practices 
regarding multi-use SCIFs.

National Security Agency workforce pipeline program

    The committee is aware that there has been a pilot program 
through the National Security Agency (NSA) National Cryptologic 
School for the past several years. This pilot program has been 
enabling workforce transformation through certificate-based 
courses on cybersecurity and artificial intelligence that are 
offered by Center of Academic Excellence (CAE) universities. 
The committee believes such efforts under this pilot program 
are showing great promise, and encourages transition of these 
efforts beyond a pilot program.
    Therefore, not later than December 1, 2022, the committee 
directs the Director, National Security Agency, to provide a 
briefing to the congressional defense committees on this pilot 
program. The briefing shall include: (1) An overview of the 
pilot program activities and accomplishments, including 
identification of efforts to develop courses and curricula with 
technology partners, provide funding for select NSA CAE 
universities to offer these courses, and fund tuition 
reimbursement for participation in the courses; (2) An 
identification of all funding for the pilot program execution, 
including a listing of all awards made to academic 
institutions; (3) Lessons learned from the pilot program; (4) 
Plans to transition the pilot program to an established program 
in the future; (5) Recommendations for authorities or 
legislative action necessary for future program success; and 
(6) Any other matters deemed appropriate by the Director.

Outcome-based metrics for Joint Cyber Warfighting Architecture programs 
        on the software acquisition pathway

    The committee recognizes that Joint Cyber Warfighting 
Architecture (JCWA) programs depend on timely and regular 
feedback assessing the benefits of new capabilities for cyber 
warfighters. The metrics currently used to assess these 
capabilities' benefits, including the utility of resources 
applied to the capabilities, are individualized and not 
outcome-based. The committee is aware of a Government 
Accountability Office (GAO) report, published on March 30, 
2022, titled ``Defense Acquisitions: Cyber Command Needs to 
Develop Metrics to Assess Warfighting Capabilities'' (GAO-22-
104695), that determined that ``[i]f Cyber Command does not 
develop outcome-based metrics to inform future Value 
Assessments, it risks not being able to understand whether and 
how new capabilities benefit the cyber warfighting mission.'' 
In order to most effectively allocate resources toward 
effective capability development, U.S. Cyber Command (CYBERCOM) 
must develop broader metrics tied to intended operational 
outcomes as defined in CYBERCOM's concept of operations.
    To that end, the committee directs the Commander, U.S. 
Cyber Command, not later than December 1, 2022, to develop 
outcome-based metrics for the JCWA programs that are on the 
software acquisition pathway to support future value 
assessments. The committee notes that these metrics shall 
account for other factors on mission outcomes, including, but 
not limited to, cyber operations tactics, techniques, and 
procedures. The committee further directs the Commander to 
provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees, not 
later than 30 days following the development of these metrics, 
on these metrics, their development and iterative refinement, 
and a timeline for their implementation.

Over-classification of information

    The committee notes the testimony and other public 
statements of multiple senior uniformed and civilian officials, 
in a variety of hearings and other venues over the last 3 
years, to include a former Deputy Secretary of Defense, a 
former Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a service 
chief, and multiple combatant commanders, with respect to the 
issue of the over-classification of programs, capabilities, and 
plans.
    The committee further notes that testimony and other 
statements have addressed the role that over-classification 
plays in limiting deterrence; increasing risk to operational 
forces due to the lack of a common understanding of U.S. 
capabilities; providing harmful barriers to entry for 
technological innovation; duplicating efforts within 
acquisition programs; and limiting certain critical information 
to only the most senior leaders, when greater integration and 
synchronization to deputies and staffs is required to conduct 
effective joint force planning and operations.
    The committee is encouraged that the Deputy Secretary of 
Defense began a Department of Defense-wide initiative in 2021 
to fully assess current classification processes to improve 
national security outcomes, while continuing to safeguard the 
Nation's appropriately classified information. The committee 
notes the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency has 
effectively streamlined certain classification efforts 
following a similar methodology.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees, 
not later than December 1, 2022, which shall include: (1) The 
findings and recommendations of the Deputy Secretary of 
Defense's initiative on over-classification; (2) The impacts of 
over-classification on deterrence, risk to the force, risk to 
mission, technological innovation, and the duplication of 
acquisition programs; (3) Lessons learned from deliberate 
actions taken to reduce classification during the Russian 
invasion of Ukraine; (4) Lessons learned from the National 
Geospatial-Intelligence Agency's efforts to streamline its 
policies and procedures, including classification guidebooks; 
and (5) Recommendations for the future.

Plan on State Partnership Program support for cyberspace security 
        cooperation activities

    The committee is aware that the Department of Defense State 
Partnership Program (SPP) supports 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 while increasing the readiness of U.S. and partner 
forces to meet emerging or persistent challenges. The committee 
is also aware of the growing cyberspace capabilities within the 
National Guard enterprise that could be utilized to support 
cyberspace security cooperation activities with U.S. allies and 
partners through the SPP. The committee believes that these 
cyberspace security cooperation activities conducted through 
the SPP should be reviewed to determine the most effective 
method of utilization.
    To that end, not later than January 31, 2023, the committee 
directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, in 
coordination with the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, to 
develop a plan on ways the SPP could be further utilized to 
support the cyberspace security cooperation activities of the 
Department of Defense. The plan shall include: (1) 
Identification and prioritization of additional cyberspace 
security cooperation activities that could be supported by the 
National Guard through the SPP; (2) Proposed mechanisms to 
integrate and coordinate activities for cyberspace security 
cooperation activities across the SPP partner nations; (3) 
Consideration of proposed mechanisms for augmenting National 
Guard cyberspace capabilities from one state to another in 
support of the SPP; and (4) Any additional authorities, 
funding, and legislative actions needed to support enhanced 
cyberspace security cooperation activities through the SPP.
    The committee further directs the Under Secretary and Chief 
to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and the House of Representatives, not later than 
February 1, 2023, on the plan developed and any associated 
recommendations.

Report on blockchain technology to cybersecurity

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in 
consultation with the Secretary of the Department of Homeland 
Security and the Director of National Intelligence, to submit a 
classified report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives and the congressional 
intelligence committees, not later than April 1, 2023, that 
assesses the potential relative utility, value, and relevance 
of blockchain technology in protecting the confidentiality, 
integrity, and availability of data, networks, and systems at 
all levels of classification. The assessment shall cover 
potential blockchain applications in or to information 
technology, operational technology, data at rest and in motion, 
zero trust architectures, cloud technology, and network 
management functions.

Report on social media operations security concerns

    The committee remains concerned about the use of social 
media by members of the Armed Forces and its effects on 
maintaining operations security. This concern is especially 
pertinent following events in Ukraine where Russian soldiers' 
use of social media repeatedly compromised their operations 
security.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit to the committee, not later than March 1, 2023, an 
unclassified report with a classified annex that assesses 
operations security concerns pertaining to use of social media 
by members of the Armed Forces serving on Active Duty. The 
required report shall address, at a minimum, the following:
          (1) A description of existing Department of Defense 
        policies and associated guidance related to the use of 
        social media by members of the Armed Forces serving on 
        Active Duty;
          (2) Potential risks to operations security resulting 
        from the use of social media by members of the Armed 
        Forces serving on Active Duty, including while 
        deployed;
          (3) A description of known or suspected instances 
        where the use of social media by members of the Armed 
        Forces serving on Active Duty significantly impacted 
        operations security;
          (4) Recommendations to mitigate potential risks to 
        operations security resulting from the use of social 
        media by members of the Armed Forces serving on Active 
        Duty; and
          (5) Any other matters deemed relevant by the 
        Secretary.

Role of email security and break and inspect perimeter security 
        practices in Zero Trust Architecture

    The committee strongly supports the zero trust 
cybersecurity strategy of the Department of Defense (DOD). The 
committee notes, however, that perimeter defenses remain 
important and must be retained and improved. The committee also 
strongly supports the DOD's procurement of enterprise cloud-
based office productivity services under the Office 365 (O365) 
program, including email services. The committee is aware that 
the Defense Information Systems Agency's Zero Day Network 
Defense email security system currently operates sub-optimally 
outside of the O365 cloud. The committee is also aware that the 
Sharkseer break and inspect capability at DOD Internet Access 
Points only processes about half of the encrypted traffic 
within the DOD Information Network.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Chief Information 
Officer (CIO), the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command, and the 
Director of Cost Analysis and Program Evaluation to assess the 
need for migrating the email security system to the O365 cloud 
environment and for expanding the break and inspect capacity of 
the Sharkseer program, as well as make recommendations for 
future action to the Secretary of Defense. The committee 
directs the CIO to provide a briefing to the congressional 
defense committees on the results of the assessment not later 
than February 1, 2023.

United States Cyber Command Science and Technology Pipeline

    The committee believes that long-term science and 
technology cyber research is critical to developing 
capabilities that will enable the warfighter to maintain 
dominance in cyberspace in the future. Section 257 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public 
Law 116-92) required the Secretary of Defense, acting through 
the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, to 
develop a roadmap for science and technology activities of the 
Department of Defense to support development of cyber 
capabilities to meet Department needs and missions, but as yet 
that roadmap has not been delivered. The committee is 
frustrated by the slow pace of development of this roadmap.
    The committee is concerned that the Department lacks a 
robust, clear process to articulate long-term operational cyber 
capability needs from the Commander, U.S. Cyber Command 
(CYBERCOM), and the Commanders, Joint Force Headquarters-Cyber, 
in each military service to the science and technology research 
enterprise. The committee is also concerned that with the 
transition of enhanced budget control (EBC) responsibilities 
assigned to the Commander by section 1507(a)(1) of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-
81), there is significant risk that the military services will 
de-prioritize and disinvest from cyber science and technology 
(S&T) supporting CYBERCOM capability development.
    The committee notes that under EBC, CYBERCOM will have no 
organic S&T funding, so CYBERCOM will depend on the services' 
S&T enterprises, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency 
(DARPA), the Strategic Capabilities Office (SCO), and the 
commercial sector to generate new cyber operational 
technologies. The committee is concerned that the services' S&T 
prioritization processes, however, are unlikely to adequately 
support CYBERCOM requirements. In this respect, the committee 
notes that the primary source of 6.1-6.3 cyber S&T funding 
within the Department today comes from DARPA and that the DARPA 
funding is often focused on high-risk research for future 
capabilities rather than satisfying documented CYBERCOM 
requirements.
    The committee, therefore, directs the Commander, U.S. 
CYBERCOM, and the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and 
Engineering, in coordination with the Director of the National 
Security Agency (NSA), the Director of the DARPA, the Director 
of the SCO, the Director of the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) 
and the Secretaries of the military departments, to jointly 
develop a process for identifying, funding, executing, 
monitoring, and transitioning cyber S&T capability research 
needs supporting CYBERCOM requirements for the Department of 
Defense S&T enterprise, not later than October 1, 2023. The 
process shall also include a documented set of roles and 
responsibilities and governance process for CYBERCOM, the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering, the Director 
of NSA, the Director of the DARPA, the Director of the SCO, the 
Director of the DIU, and the Secretaries of the military 
departments.
    The committee directs that the Commander and Under 
Secretary provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on the 
process and roles and responsibilities for ensuring the 
Department S&T enterprise is robustly supporting CYBERCOM 
capability development needs not later than December 1, 2022. 
The briefing shall include a recommendation on whether CYBERCOM 
should have direct budget control over any 6.1-6.3 cyber S&T 
funding, recommendations for other budget control assignments 
for cyber 6.1-6.3 S&T funding to support CYBERCOM missions, and 
whether 6.8 or 6.8-like funding could be utilized for these 
activities.

            DIVISION B--MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATIONS

Summary and explanation of funding tables

to focus its efforts on studying facility optimization. The 
committee is encouraged by these efforts and looks forward to 
reviewing these results prior to the request for any future 
BRAC round.

       TITLE XXVIII--MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AND GENERAL PROVISIONS

               Subtitle A--Military Construction Program

Modification of cost thresholds for authority of Department of Defense 
        to acquire low-cost interests in land (sec. 2801)
    The committee recommends a provision, as requested by the 
Department of Defense, that would amend section 2663(c) of 
title 10, United States Code, to increase the cost limitation 
from $750,000 to $6.0 million. The committee understands that 
farmland prices have increased by more than 300 percent Nation-
wide and the cost limitation in statute has not increased in 
response since codification in 2003. The intent of this 
provision is to give clear authority to the services to 
promptly execute low-cost land acquisitions instead of having 
to go through the military construction process.
Clarification of exceptions to limitations on cost variations for 
        military construction projects and military family housing 
        projects (sec. 2802)
    The committee recommends a provision, as requested by the 
Department of Defense, that would amend section 2853 of title 
10, United States Code, to clarify that the Department may not 
waive the percentage or dollar cost limitation applicable to a 
military construction project of a military family housing 
project and approve an increase in the authorized cost if the 
total cost of the project is more than $500.0 million and 50 
percent or more of the original authorized amount.
Elimination of sunset of authority to conduct unspecified minor 
        military construction for lab revitalization (sec. 2803)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 2805(d) of title 10, United States Code, by eliminating 
the sunset of the existing authority to conduct unspecified 
minor military construction for lab revitalization.
Requirement for inclusion of Department of Defense Forms 1391 with 
        annual budget submission by President (sec. 2804)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require 
each Department of Defense Form 1391 for a military 
construction project to be delivered concurrently with the 
annual President's budget request.
Determination and notification relating to Executive orders that impact 
        cost and scope of work of military construction projects (sec. 
        2805)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Department of Defense to update the Department of Defense Form 
1391 for each military construction project prior to submission 
of the President's budget request if the cost or scope of work 
could be impacted by an executive order signed by the 
President.
Extension of authorization of depot working capital funds for 
        unspecified minor military construction (sec. 2806)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 2208(u)(4) of title 10, United States Code, to extend 
the authorization of depot working capital funds for 
unspecified minor military construction projects from 2023 to 
2025.
Temporary increase of amounts in connection with authority to carry out 
        unspecified minor military construction (sec. 2807)
    The committee recommends a provision that would temporarily 
increase the unspecified minor military construction thresholds 
for a 3-year period expiring December 1, 2025. The committee 
notes that this temporary increase is not seen as a permanent 
authority and is recommended to combat rising inflation and 
material costs.
Electrical charging capability construction requirements relating to 
        parking for Federal Government motor vehicles (sec. 2808)
    The committee recommends a provision that would direct the 
Department of Defense to account for the electric load of some 
electrical vehicle charging infrastructure in the planning and 
design of a military construction project if that planned 
military construction project includes parking facilities.
Use of integrated project delivery contracts (sec. 2809)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of each military department to enter into at least 
one integrated project delivery contract for the delivery of a 
military construction project in fiscal year 2023.
Expansion of pilot program on increased use of sustainable building 
        materials in military construction to include locations 
        throughout the United States (sec. 2810)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 2861(b)(2) of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81) to expand the pilot 
program on the increased use of sustainable building materials 
in military construction to include locations throughout the 
United States.

                      Subtitle B--Military Housing

Specification of Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy, 
        Installations, and Environment as Chief Housing Officer (sec. 
        2821)
    The committee recommends a provision that amend subsection 
(a) of section 2851a of title 10, United States Code, to 
clarify that the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Energy, 
Installations, and Environment should serve as the Chief 
Housing Officer.
Department of Defense Military Housing Readiness Council (sec. 2822)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
chapter 88 of title 10, United States Code, to establish a 
Department of Defense Military Housing Readiness Council.

Mandatory disclosure of potential presence of mold and health effects 
        of mycotoxins before a lease is signed for privatized military 
        housing (sec. 2823)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
subchapter V of chapter 169 of title 10, United States Code, to 
require the Secretary of Defense to develop a mold disclosure 
document to be provided by each landlord to a prospective 
tenant of military privatized housing.

Implementation of recommendations from audit of medical conditions of 
        residents in privatized military housing (sec. 2824)

    The committee recommends a provision that would implement 
the recommendations contained in the report of the Inspector 
General of the Department of Defense regarding an audit of 
medical conditions of residents in privatized military housing. 
The audit was directed by section 748 of the William M. (Mac) 
Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2021 (Public Law 116-283) and recommendations included 
directing the Army and Air Force to fully populate their entire 
inventory of privatized military housing units in the 
enterprise military housing system, to track the implementation 
of the environmental health and safety module and necessary 
updates, and to upload current and prior resident information 
once the inventory is complete. The committee's intent on 
current and prior resident information is for the Department to 
comply with policies regarding personally identifiable 
information data handling and storage and to the extent 
historic data is available or obtainable.

                      Subtitle C--Land Conveyances


Conveyance, Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina (sec. 2841)

    The committee recommends a provision that would grant the 
Secretary of the Air Force permissive authority to convey to 
the City of North Charleston, South Carolina, approximately 26 
acres known as the Old Navy Yard at Joint Base Charleston for 
the purpose of permitting the City of North Charleston to use 
the property for economic development.

                       Subtitle D--Other Matters


Integrated master infrastructure plan to support defense of Guam (sec. 
        2861)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense, in consultation with other pertinent 
Federal agencies, to update the plan required by section 2822 
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 
(Public Law 113-66) outlining completion of construction, 
improvements, and repairs to the nonmilitary utilities, 
facilities, and infrastructure, if any, on Guam affected by the 
realignment of forces to reflect current and future plans for 
the introduction of additional military and supporting 
nonmilitary capabilities on the island.
    The committee believes that the successful implementation 
of future Department of Defense (DOD) force laydown plans for 
Guam must account for the additional demands on local 
infrastructure that such personnel and equipment increases will 
levy. Additionally, the committee strongly encourages the 
Department of Defense to examine existing policies and 
procedures for addressing unexploded ordnance that may be 
uncovered during excavation and site preparation for future DOD 
facilities and equipment. The Department should ensure such 
policies and procedures support the urgency of force 
emplacement activities and do not unnecessarily delay U.S. 
Indo-Pacific Command force posture adjustments on the island or 
impose overly burdensome requirements on planned programs. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy, in 
consultation with the Secretary of the Air Force, to provide a 
briefing to the congressional defense committees on the 
feasibility of developing a risk based approach to the removal 
of unexploded ordinance during excavation on Guam not later 
than March 31, 2023.

Repeal of requirement for Interagency Coordination Group of Inspectors 
        General for Guam Realignment (sec. 2862)

    The committee recommends a provision, as requested by the 
Department of Defense, to repeal the requirement for an 
interagency coordination group of inspectors general for the 
realignment of troops to Guam.

Temporary authority for acceptance and use of funds for certain 
        construction projects in the Republic of Korea (sec. 2863)

    The committee recommends a provision, as requested by the 
Department of Defense, that would amend section 2863 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public 
Law 116-92) to allow the Department to accept contributions 
toward the construction, rather than just design, of certain 
military construction projects in the Republic of Korea.

Modification of quitclaim deed between the United States and the City 
        of Clinton, Oklahoma (sec. 2864)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Defense to abrogate certain restrictions and 
conditions related to the Department of Defense for the 
quitclaim deed with the city of Clinton, Oklahoma.

Prohibition on joint use of Homestead Air Reserve Base with civil 
        aviation (sec. 2865)

    The committee recommends a provision that would prohibit 
the Secretary of the Air Force from entering into joint use 
agreements between the Air Force and civil aircraft at 
Homestead Air Reserve Base, Homestead, Florida, on or before 
September 20, 2026.

Inclusion of infrastructure improvements identified in the report on 
        strategic seaports in Defense Community Infrastructure Pilot 
        Program (sec. 2866)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 2391(d) of title 10, United States Code, to include the 
consideration of strategic seaports for infrastructure 
improvements under the Defense Community Infrastructure 
Program.

Procurement of electric, zero emission, advanced-biofuel-powered, or 
        hydrogen-powered vehicles for the Department of Defense (sec. 
        2867)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require, 
with certain waivers, that the Department of Defense's fleet of 
non-tactical vehicles shall be alternatively-fueled vehicles by 
the end of 2030.

                       Items of Special Interest


Accessible Military Housing Enhancement

    The Secretary of Defense has yet to provide a briefing due 
not later than March 1, 2022, as directed by section 2812 of 
Senate Report 117-39 to accompany the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81) on 
how the Department of Defense (DOD) determines in privatized 
housing legal agreements that five percent of newly constructed 
housing units are ADA accessible or adaptable and whether or 
not the Department believes this percentage should be changed 
in future agreements. The committee remains concerned about the 
availability of accessible housing for military families that 
require it.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to brief the committee on the accessibility needs for 
privatized military housing not later than December 1, 2022. 
The report shall assess:
          (1) How the Secretary determines in agreements for 
        privatized military housing that a certain percentage 
        of newly constructed units of privatized military 
        housing are accessible to individuals with disabilities 
        or adaptable for such individuals;
          (2) A description of the current needs of DOD for 
        privatized military housing units that are accessible 
        to individuals with disabilities, including an 
        indication of--
                  (a) whether those needs are concentrated in 
                specific geographic areas, and if so, which 
                ones; and
                  (b) how those needs are assessed;
          (3) An assessment of the number of individuals who 
        have requested an accessible unit of privatized 
        military housing but cannot be supplied with one;
          (4) An indication of whether DOD collects complaints 
        regarding unfulfilled accessibility accommodation 
        requests with respect to existing units of privatized 
        military housing, and if so--
                  (a) The number of complaints that were 
                received;
                  (b) The number of complaints that were 
                resolved;
                  (c) For each complaint that was resolved, a 
                description of how it was resolved; and
                  (d) An indication of whether the Secretary 
                has conducted outreach to let members of the 
                Armed Forces know how they can report 
                unfulfilled accessibility accommodation 
                requests.

Adak, Alaska

    The committee notes that the runway at what was formerly 
Naval Air Facility Adak has been operating commercially since 
1997 and could serve as a viable basing location for P-8 
Poseidon aircraft, but would need improvements to the runway. 
Additionally, in the wake of the Department of Defense's 
decision to close and defuel Red Hill, it presents an 
opportunity to store fuel for assets across the Indo-Pacific.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Navy to provide a briefing to the committee, not later than 
March 1, 2023, on infrastructure investments that would be 
necessary to operate P-8 Poseidon anti-submarine aircraft from 
Adak, Alaska. The briefing shall cover necessary infrastructure 
investments related to the location of P-8 aircraft for 
emergency operations, episodic operations and exercise support, 
seasonal rotations of aircraft, permanent basing of such 
aircraft, regular fueling operations of naval vessels, bulk 
fuel storage, the strategic implications for use of Adak by 
joint forces, and the costs associated with refurbishing, 
expanding, and operating the Adak tank farm at the Port of 
Adak.
    As part of the information and data gathering process for 
the briefing, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to consult with U.S. Indo-Pacific Command, the Defense 
Logistics Agency, U.S. Transportation Command, the State of 
Alaska, the Aleut Corporation, and entities that operate 
existing aviation and fuel infrastructure at Adak.

Army ammunition plants

    The committee notes that the Army's Ammunition Plant 
modernization plan includes several projects for the Iowa Army 
Ammunition Plant. In particular, the plan includes construction 
projects for several new critical facilities for the production 
of long range precision artillery, the loading, assembling, and 
packing of tank ammunition, and the manufacturing of pressed 
energetics for large warheads. The committee believes these are 
prudent and essential capabilities that should be brought on-
line as soon as possible. The committee urges the Secretary of 
the Army to take timely planning, programming, and budgeting 
actions to ensure these projects are fielded on time as shown 
in the Army's new Ammunition Plant modernization plan to the 
Congress.

Briefing on cost benefit of improving facilities for or relocating Fort 
        Douglas reserve component

    The committee notes that supporting the National Defense 
Strategy means that active, guard, and reserve components must 
all be able to train properly to ensure adequate readiness 
levels and operate in habitable, safe infrastructure. The 
committee believes that Department of Defense programs often 
fund failing infrastructure when other alternatives may be 
available.
    The committee understands that renovation costs, given the 
current state of the infrastructure at U.S. Army Reserve Center 
(USARC) Fort Douglas, exceed $50.0 million and that there are 
additional challenges with existing configurations. Units 
stationed at Fort Douglas have not been able to optimize drills 
due to the physical configuration of the buildings, and the 
proximity to the University of Utah presents challenges. The 
committee understands that there are ongoing discussions 
between the U.S. Army Reserve at Fort Douglas and the Utah 
National Guard at Camp W. G. Williams for the potential 
relocation of the Reserve unit to Camp W. G. Williams, which 
would provide better home station training opportunities, as 
well as avoid renovation costs for failing facilities. If such 
an agreement were to occur, there must be adequate cost data 
for how the arrangement would be established and sustained.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Army to provide a briefing to the committee, not later than 
December 1, 2022, on the current state of the infrastructure at 
USARC Fort Douglas, including the cost of renovations to 
upgrade the infrastructure at USARC Fort Douglas and a cost/
benefit analysis of relocating the facilities, operations, and 
other program requirements of USARC Fort Douglas to Camp W. G. 
Williams. The briefing shall include, but not be limited to, 
the cost of renovations to upgrade the infrastructure at USARC 
Fort Douglas, including: (1) Aging buildings and systems; (2) 
Electrical and water systems; (3) Americans with Disabilities 
Act accessibility standards compliance; (4) Perimeter security, 
if needed; and (5) Water distribution and storm water concerns. 
The briefing shall also include a cost/benefit analysis of 
relocating the facilities, operations, and other program 
requirements of USARC Fort Douglas to Camp W. G. Williams, 
including the: (1) Cost of new facilities at Camp W. G. 
Williams; (2) Cost of the land at Camp W. G. Williams; and (3) 
Cost of moving operations to Camp W. G. Williams.

Briefing on military housing complaint database

    The Department of Defense (DOD) has yet to create the 
public complaint database regarding housing units that was 
required by section 3016 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116-92). The committee 
continues to be concerned about DOD's oversight of the Military 
Housing Privatization Initiative (MHPI).
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to brief the committee annually, beginning on March 1, 2023, on 
the DOD's implementation plan and consultation with other 
federal agencies until the complaint database is complete. The 
briefing shall also include information on how DOD tracks and 
seeks resolution to complaints military families raise to MHPI 
company property managers, housing maintenance personnel, 
installation resident advocates, installation military housing 
personnel, installation commanders, military member's immediate 
chain of command, military medical providers, point-of-service 
work order and maintenance surveys, military department 
customer service, and complaints to DOD or military department 
inspectors general.

Camp Bull Simons alignment review

    The committee understands that Camp Bull Simons is an Air 
Force-owned, Army-occupied, 500-acre compound on Eglin Air 
Force Base. The Camp includes over 50 structures and 
approximately $1.0 billion of infrastructure; it is the duty 
station to over 3,000 servicemembers and civilians.
    The committee notes that geographic dispersion of Eglin's 
child development centers (CDCs) makes it difficult for Army 
families to reasonably access government provided childcare. 
The committee notes that Camp Bull Simons is physically 
separated from Eglin by roughly 19.4 miles. Accompanied 
families working at Camp Bull Simons typically use their Basic 
Allowance for Housing benefits to live off-post in Crestview, 
Florida (23.7 miles north of Eglin). The nearest military 
hospital, Department of Defense Education Activity school, post 
exchange, commissary, Morale, Welfare, and Recreation gym and 
CDC designated for use by Special Forces Group servicemembers 
and their respective families are all located on Eglin.
    The committee is concerned that the Army's efforts to 
address family readiness issues with the Air Force may not be 
producing adequate solutions for Army families stationed at 
Camp Bull Simons. The committee understands the Air Force has 
repeatedly denied the Army's request for a CDC on Camp Bull 
Simons, citing public safety concerns due to range activities. 
While the committee shares the public safety concern, no 
evidence has been provided to the committee showing that such a 
concern exists and how the Air Force applies said concern 
equally to all public activities surrounding the range. The 
committee is interested in better understanding the existing 
arrangement to determine whether Camp Bull Simons can safely 
support an Army funded military construction project to build a 
CDC to support military families.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Army, in coordination with the Secretary of the Air Force, to 
provide a briefing not later than December 1 2022, to the 
committee on the current agreement existing between Camp Bull 
Simons and Eglin Air Force Base. The briefing shall include but 
not be limited to:
          (1) The process by which both services request 
        military construction and facilities sustainment, 
        restoration, and modernization funds (including the 
        approval process and what Department of Defense 
        regulation dictates);
          (2) A review of what constitutes public safety in 
        relation to training range space at Camp Bull Simons, 
        as it pertains to CDCs, as well as local, state, and 
        federal highways;
          (3) Copies of all exemptions or certifications 
        required for Air Force use of Camp Bull Simons 
        cantonment area as an active bombing range;
          (4) Copies of any memoranda the Army and Air Force 
        have executed to address active range operations around 
        the cantonment area that require area evacuation when 
        testing occurs;
          (5) A description of risks to children and noise 
        concerns related to use of Camp Bull Simons cantonment 
        area and how those risks were reconciled within BRAC 
        2005 safety certifications and Records of Decision 
        approved by the Secretary of the Air Force; and
          (6) A review of how the Army and the Air Force are 
        actively working toward a solution to the childcare 
        hardships of Army families, to include direct 
        coordination with those impacted on Camp Bull Simons.

Edgewood area, Aberdeen Proving Ground

    The committee notes that Aberdeen Proving Ground, Edgewood 
Area, contains 63 remnant production plant slabs and 50-year 
old laboratories that are inactive and mostly vacant. These 
facilities were formerly used by Edgewood Chemical Biological 
Center and the Medical Research Institute of Chemical Defense 
(MRICD).
    The committee is encouraged by the Department of Defense's 
inclusion of specific funding to remove these contaminated 
facilities, which includes decommissioning, decontamination, 
and demolition through a phased approach under the Contaminated 
Building Demolition Program. The Department has already 
obligated funds, begun demolition, and has programmed 
additional funds in the out years to continue these efforts. 
The committee encourages the Department to continue these 
funding efforts to ensure demolition activities continue, 
particularly with significant progress already underway. 
Demolition of these facilities will result in cost savings of 
at least $3.0 million to $4.0 million per year on 
infrastructure, maintenance, and security of these unusable 
buildings and reduce the risk of contamination. The removal of 
these facilities will have a positive impact on the surrounding 
missions, including the new MRICD facility, U.S. Army Research, 
Development, and Engineering Command's Advance Chemistry 
Laboratory, and the Army Public Health facility.

Energy Resilience Conservation Investment Program flexibility

    The committee supports the Department of Defense's (DOD) 
continued use of the Energy Resilience Conservation Investment 
Program (ERCIP) to address extreme weather resiliency, energy 
resiliency, energy surety, and overall energy system 
efficiencies, as well as projects that mitigate risk and 
vulnerabilities from adverse weather incidents and impacts. The 
committee is aware of the DOD's interest in investing in energy 
resilient infrastructure on installations. The committee 
supports these efforts and encourages the Department to use all 
current authorities it has at its disposal to include:
          (1) The authorities under sections 2805 and 2912 of 
        title 10, United States Code;
          (2) The authority under section 2913(d) of such title 
        to enter into agreements with utilities for the purpose 
        of providing or operating charging or refueling 
        stations described in subparagraph (1);
          (3) The authority under section 2914 of such title 
        (known as the Energy Resilience and Conservation 
        Investment Program);
          (4) Energy savings performance contracts as defined 
        by section 804(3) of the National Energy Conservation 
        Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 8287c(3));
          (5) Utility energy services contracts; and
          (6) Other funding mechanisms financed by non-
        Department entities for the deployment of alternative 
        fuel vehicles and related charging or refueling 
        infrastructure.
    Additionally, to ensure that military installations can use 
these contractual vehicles to support all available energy 
options to address growing energy resilience and extreme 
weather mitigation needs, the committee encourages the DOD and 
the services to allow greater contracting flexibility to allow 
ERCIP funds to be combined with other DOD funds. For resilience 
projects specifically, the committee encourages the DOD to 
allow ERCIP money to be used with Utility Energy Service 
Contracts (UESCs) and Area Wide Contracts (AWCs). These 
contracts also provide the services with the option of using 
private financing to more rapidly initiate resiliency projects. 
The committee understands that this flexibility offers the 
option of providing financing upfront to execute energy 
resilience projects, which the services can pay back over time 
in order to upgrade, modernize, and replace installation energy 
systems more quickly and affordably.

General and Flag Officers quarters

    The committee remains concerned about the increased costs 
for the upkeep and maintenance of many General and Flag 
Officers quarters (GFOQs), especially for the Army, at 
installations like Joint Base Myer/Henderson Hall and Fort 
McNair. It is not uncommon for the committee to receive annual 
requests for homes on these installations that cost over $3.5 
million per year for maintenance and repair, ground 
maintenance, painting, service calls, and security.
    The committee understands that repairs are necessary to 
ensure that GFOQs are kept in sanitary, safe, and livable 
conditions, and recognizes that many GFOQs are required to be 
preserved and maintained under the provisions of the National 
Historic Preservation Act (Public Law 89-665, as amended). 
Understandably, the high costs associated with many GFOQs are a 
result of some homes having been built in the 19th century.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary 
of Defense for Energy, Installations, and Environment to 
provide a briefing to the committee, not later than March 1, 
2023, on a cost estimate of replacing GFOQs built prior to 1970 
with a newly constructed home. The briefing shall include all 
options the Department of Defense can pursue to reduce its aged 
inventory of GFOQs, including any new legislative options that 
may be necessary.

Housing shortages and challenges

    The committee has heard from numerous defense communities 
and servicemembers about the challenges they and their families 
are having in finding safe and affordable homes as prices 
increase and supply is limited. The committee notes that 
approximately 70 percent of servicemembers and their families 
live off the military installation depending on the exact area.
    The committee notes that the Army is proactively expanding 
its portfolio of housing at certain installations where housing 
shortages and challenges have been identified. The committee 
applauds this proactive effort and encourages the other 
services to pursue a similar approach. In particular, the 
committee is aware that a number of communities supporting Air 
Force installations are trying to work with the Air Force to 
address this housing crisis.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary 
of Defense for Energy, Installations, and Environment to 
provide a briefing to the committee, not later than March 1, 
2023, on how the Department of Defense is coordinating efforts 
to address housing shortages and improve access to affordable 
housing for servicemembers and their families. The briefing 
shall consider the results of a series of Dormitory Master 
Plans, Housing Community Profiles, Family Housing Master Plans, 
and Housing Requirements and Market Analyses at the impacted 
locations and shall contain a breakout of how each service is 
addressing housing shortfall issues and what authorities are 
being used to accomplish the goals of the plans.

Improving energy efficiency at overseas military installations

    The Department of Defense (DOD) operates over 560,000 
buildings and structures at over 500 military installations in 
the United States and overseas. The Department's real property 
inventory is diverse, encompassing barracks, commissaries, data 
centers, office buildings, laboratories, and aircraft 
maintenance depots. Over the years, the DOD's military 
installations overseas have long helped cultivate diplomatic 
relationships between host nations and the United States. It is 
crucial that the Department harness best practices for energy 
efficiency, not only from existing Department of Energy 
guidance, but from forward-leaning host nations as well. While 
DOD Components domestically are encouraged to use alternative 
financing and are required per various DOD policies to 
contemplate energy savings in routine operations, less 
attention has been devoted to energy reduction abroad and 
partnering with host nation governments on energy efficiency 
and resilience.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary 
of Defense for Energy, Installations, and Environment to 
conduct a study on ways to improve energy efficiency and 
security, including cybersecurity, of installations of the DOD 
outside the United States. The study shall include an analysis 
of information and best practices regarding energy efficiency 
learned from the governments of foreign countries at which 
installations studied are located, including ministries of 
energy or environment. Not later than March 1, 2023, the 
Secretary shall provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives on its 
findings and recommendations.

Leveraging competition to enhance the cost effectiveness of United 
        States Air Force chiller procurement

    The committee notes that in 2019, the Air Force Civil 
Engineering Center issued a class justification and 
authorization (Class J&A) for other than full and open 
competition entitled the HVAC Chiller Replacement 
Standardization Project. The Class J&A limits chiller purchases 
to a single company on each Air Force installation, eliminating 
competition for new purchases through the end of fiscal year 
2024. The Air Force's justification for the Class J&A is based 
on the cost of training personnel, not the initial and 
operating cost of equipment being procured without competition. 
Because chillers are purchased as subcontracts for 
installations projects, there is limited transparency into how 
the Class J&A is being used, or how much money the Air Force 
has spent to date on chiller procurements. The committee seeks 
greater understanding of the metrics the Air Force will use to 
assess their policy.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the committee on the Class J&A 
by March 1, 2023. The briefing shall address how the Air Force 
is tracking spending on chillers awarded under the Class J&A 
and provide insight into how the Air Force is considering 
lifecycle cost analysis and changes in education and training 
for chiller technicians.

Pohakuloa Training Area land lease negotiations

    The committees notes that Hawaii is strategically critical 
to U.S. national security in ensuring a free and open Indo-
Pacific region. The committee also believes that Hawaii's 
contribution to national security must be equally met with a 
commitment from the Department of Defense (DOD) to respect the 
land and the people of Hawaii while being good stewards of 
Hawaii's natural resources. The Department currently maintains 
221,981 acres in military land holdings in Hawaii, 39,369 of 
which are under lease to the Department and are set to expire 
starting in 2029. In the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-
283), the Congress directed the DOD to provide a report on all 
DOD leases in Hawaii and milestones associated with retaining 
critical land.
    Accordingly, the committee directs U.S. Indo-Pacific 
Command (INDOPACOM) to conduct a study on the requirements for 
future land force ranges, training areas, and related 
facilities in Hawaii in light of posture changes in the Indo-
Pacific region, evolving concept of operations, and posture 
requirements in support of long-term strategic competition. The 
study shall assess the requirement for future training areas 
against what currently exists, including land which is not 
currently planned for lease renegotiation. The committee 
directs the Commander of INDOPACOM to brief the committee on 
its findings and recommendations not later than March 1, 2023. 
The committee believes INDOPACOM has an obligation to follow 
the updated Hawaii Military Land Use Master Plan and work with 
local community leaders to return land that is not deemed 
essential as soon as possible.

Secure Compartmented Information Facilities accessibility compliance

    The committee acknowledges that ensuring Department of 
Defense (DOD) buildings meet statutorily required accessibility 
standards set forth in the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) and 
the protection of rights of Federal workforce under the 
Rehabilitation Act. Section 29 U.S.C. 794 is critical to 
recruiting and retaining a workforce that fully capitalizes on 
the talent and crucial warfighting skills resident across the 
full spectrum of American society. The committee, however, is 
concerned that many classified and previously classified 
Government facilities to include secure compartmented 
information facilities (SCIF) fail to meet these requirements, 
particularly at the point of entry. This is despite a 2021 
Government Services Administration approval for locks compliant 
with current disability statutory requirements under the ABA 
and DOD policy objectives, which go above and beyond those 
requirements.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a report, not later than December 1, 2022, on the 
scope of remediation needed to bring DOD SCIFs to ABA 404.2.9 
compliance and how the DOD plans to apply ABA 404.2.9 in its 
future construction design and lease requirements. This report 
shall also include any obstacles or impediments to ensuring 
secure doors otherwise comply with the ABA, access for Federal 
employees with disabilities, whose rights are protected under 
the Rehabilitation Act, safety requirements and, if none, how 
the DOD plans to source equipment to ensure compliance with 
applicable safety regulations.

Water treatment facilities

    The committee is aware that the existing water treatment 
plant at Marine Corps Air Station Yuma, Arizona, may have 
difficulty in meeting Federal water quality regulations for 
maximum contaminant levels and understands that the potable 
water distribution system contains total dissolved solids (TDS) 
levels three times that of the Environmental Protection 
Agency's regulations for TDS. The committee notes that the 
plant was built in the mid-20th century and continues to 
support a wide range of tenant commands, as well as family 
housing.
    The committee believes that reliable access to clean, safe 
drinking water is vital to the Department of Defense's 
readiness and directs the services to ensure such reliable 
access for servicemembers and their families, including through 
necessary military construction. The committee understands the 
importance of complying with water quality regulations to 
protect human health and water sources. Lastly, the committee 
understands the importance of making upgrades necessary to meet 
these water quality standards and urges the Marine Corps to 
prioritize these upgrades in determining military construction 
priorities for fiscal year 2024.

Yuma Proving Ground

    The committee notes that U.S. Highway 95 is the sole access 
route for the Yuma Proving Ground, and growth at the 
installation and the surrounding community has stretched this 
two-lane road to capacity. The committee is aware that the 
Arizona Department of Transportation has already committed to 
funding the first 6.5 miles of a 20-mile expansion project.
    Accordingly, the committee encourages the Secretary of the 
Army to work collaboratively with the State of Arizona to 
facilitate the completion of the U.S. 95 widening project and 
to assist in the identification of funds to support the 
expansion project to improve access to the installation.

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

      TITLE XXXI--DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NATIONAL SECURITY PROGRAMS

       Subtitle A--National Security Programs and Authorizations

National Nuclear Security Administration (sec. 3101)
    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the appropriation of funds for the activities of the National 
Nuclear Security Administration.
Defense environmental cleanup (sec. 3102)
    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the appropriation of funds for the Department of Energy's 
defense environmental cleanup activities.
Other defense activities (sec. 3103)
    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the appropriation of funds for the Department of Energy's other 
defense activities.
Nuclear energy (sec. 3104)
    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
the appropriation of funds for the Department of Energy's 
nuclear energy activities.

   Subtitle B--Program Authorizations, Restrictions, and Limitations

Workforce enhancement for National Nuclear Security Administration 
        (sec. 3111)
    The committee recommends a provision that would set a term 
limit of not more than 5 years for the Under Secretary of 
Nuclear Security, or until a successor is appointed, by and 
with the advice and consent of the Senate. The provision 
further provides that the Under Secretary may continue serving 
after their term expires until such time as a successor is 
confirmed by the Senate. The provision would also repeal the 
cap on the total number of full-time employees of the National 
Nuclear Security Administration.
Acceleration of depleted uranium manufacturing processes (sec. 3112)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Administrator for Nuclear Security to ensure that the nuclear 
security enterprise can meet certain timelines for cold hearth 
melting, net shape casting, operating certain facilities, and 
converting depleted uranium hexafluoride to depleted uranium 
tetrafluoride. The provision would also require an annual 
briefing through 2030, the first of which is to be provided not 
later than March 31, 2023.
Certification of completion of milestones with respect to plutonium pit 
        aging (sec. 3113)
    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
scientific advisory group JASON to annually assess the National 
Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) progress towards 
completing the milestones outlined in the plutonium pit aging 
roadmap and provide a briefing to the congressional defense 
committees on the results.
    The committee recognizes that building a comprehensive 
understanding of plutonium pit aging behaviors is a complex 
process--one that continues to drive advances in materials 
sciences. However, NNSA's efforts to reestablish a plutonium 
pit production capability are at least in part predicated on 
past assessments of pit aging stretching from approximately 
2004 through today. The committee understands that NNSA has 
developed a long-term roadmap to determine the fundamental 
questions associated with pit aging, and it is essential now 
that the NNSA commits itself to this roadmap and the science 
behind it that will be essential to answering the critical 
questions associated with the U.S. stockpile.
Assistance by the National Nuclear Security Administration to the Air 
        Force for the development of the Mark 21A fuse (sec. 3114)
    The committee recommends a provision that would ensure the 
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) supports the 
Air Force in development of a modernized fuse that will be 
integrated with the Mark (Mk) 21A reentry vehicle and the W87-1 
warhead.
    Given the long history of fuse and warhead design, and 
recent actions to return legacy fuse work to the NNSA, the 
committee expects the NNSA to be involved in the development of 
the Mk21A/W87-1 fuse, and strongly prefers that the NNSA serve 
as the Mk21A/W87-1 fuse design agent to ensure the fuse meets 
performance and reliability specifications needed to satisfy 
U.S. Strategic Command military requirements.
    This Mk21A/W87-1 fuse will have to be manufactured to 
stringent quality control standards, which the NNSA is uniquely 
aware of from recent fuse manufacturing efforts, and its 
trusted parts inventory must also be available over the 
lifetime of the fuse, likely in excess of 30 years. Recent 
history on other fuse programs, which were returned to the NNSA 
to be rebuilt because the supplier base had been lost after 30 
years, is a costly and painful lesson to the U.S. Government on 
the unique nature of nuclear weapons, which have exceedingly 
high quality and trusted component standards with which the 
NNSA design laboratories and their production plants have 
decades of experience.
    The committee is aware of the limitations imposed by the 
NNSA's aging design and production infrastructure, as well as 
the challenges associated with obtaining sufficient resourcing 
to address these issues in a timely manner. However, the 
committee expects the NNSA to tailor its resourcing requests to 
meet Department of Defense requirements, and to provide the 
Congress with timely and complete resourcing requests through 
the normal budgeting process given the importance of the MK21A 
fuse to the overall success of the Sentinel program.

Extension of deadline for transfer of parcels of land to be conveyed to 
        Los Alamos County, New Mexico (sec. 3115)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Secretary of Energy to remediate, by September 30, 2032, 
certain parcels of land for conveyance under the jurisdiction 
of the Secretary of Energy in the vicinity of Los Alamos, New 
Mexico.

Use of alternative technologies to eliminate proliferation threats at 
        vulnerable sites (sec. 3116)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 4306B of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2569) 
to allow the Secretary of Energy to use alternative 
technologies to carry out programs to convert sites identified 
as presenting risks of proliferation.

Update to plan for deactivation and decommissioning of nonoperational 
        defense nuclear facilities (sec. 3117)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 4423 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2603) 
to modify certain requirements for the Department of Energy to 
plan and carry out the deactivation and decommissioning of 
nonoperational defense nuclear facilities.

          Subtitle C--Budget and Financial Management Matters


Modification of cost baselines for certain projects (sec. 3121)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 4713(a) of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 
2753(a)) to adjust the cost baselines for certain projects to 
account for inflation.

Unavailability for overhead costs of amounts specified for laboratory-
        directed research and development (sec. 3122)

    The committee recommends a provision that would prohibit 
national security laboratories from using funds made available 
for laboratory-directed research and development to cover the 
costs of general and administrative overhead.

Purchase of real property options (sec. 3123)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
Subtitle E of the National Nuclear Security Administration Act 
(50 U.S.C. 2461 et seq.) to allow the National Nuclear Security 
Administration to purchase options for the purchase or lease of 
real property, subject to certain limitations and requirements.

Determination of standardized indirect cost elements (sec. 3124)

    The committee recommends a provision that would require the 
Deputy Chief Financial Officer of the Department of Energy, in 
consultation with the Administrator for Nuclear Security and 
the Director of the Office of Science, to determine 
standardized indirect cost elements to be reported by 
contractors to the Administrator. The provision would also 
include reporting requirements and definitions.

Adjustment of minor construction threshold (sec. 3125)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend the 
minor construction threshold provided in section 4701(2) of the 
Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2741(2)) to be in base 
fiscal year 2021 dollars.

Requirements for specific request for new or modified nuclear weapons 
        (sec. 3126)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 4209 of the Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2529) 
to modify the required budget request format for certain 
activities for new or modified nuclear weapons.

Limitation on use of funds for National Nuclear Security Administration 
        facility advanced manufacturing development (sec. 3127)

    The committee recommends a provision that would limit the 
amount of authorized funds available to be used by the director 
of a nuclear weapons production facility to engage in certain 
research, development, and demonstration activities.

                       Subtitle D--Other Matters


Repeal of obsolete provisions of the Atomic Energy Defense Act and 
        other provisions (sec. 3131)

    The committee recommends a provision that would amend the 
Atomic Energy Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2501 et seq.) by removing 
outdated reporting and briefing requirements, among other 
things.

                              Budget Items


W80-4 Sea-launched Cruise Missile

    The budget request did not include funding for the National 
Nuclear Security Administration's research on the W80-4 ALT 
Sea-launched Cruise Missile.
    The committee recommends an increase of $20.0 million for 
the W80-4 ALT Sea-launched Cruise Missile.

Savannah River Plutonium Processing Facility

    The budget request included $700.0 million for project 21-
D-511, Savannah River Plutonium Processing Facility. The 
committee recommends an increase of $500.0 million, of which 
$200.0 million is allocated to initiate contracts associated 
with gloveboxes, $100.0 million to initiate contracts for long 
lead materials and equipment, $165.0 million for demolition and 
removal of items within the Mixed Oxide Fuel buildings, and 
$35.0 million to prepare the site for construction.

Secondary Capability Modernization

    The budget request included $536.4 million for the National 
Nuclear Security Administration's Secondary Capability 
Modernization activities. The committee recommends an increase 
of $8.0 million to procure an additional calciner at Building 
9212 at the Y-12 National Security Complex to help deinventory 
liquid uranium streams.

Inertial Confinement Fusion

    The budget request included $544.1 million for the National 
Nuclear Security Administration's Inertial Confinement Fusion 
program, a 6 percent decrease from the fiscal year 2022 enacted 
level of $580.0 million.
    The committee recommends an increase of $40.0 million to 
cover refurbishment activities at the Rochester, Sandia, and 
Livermore high energy density facilities, as well as increased 
run-time for operations. These facilities are now in need of 
refurbishment having been operating for 10 or more years under 
very high energy density conditions, which cause wear on high 
voltage electronics and laser gain media.

Advanced Simulation and Computing

    The budget request included $742.6 million for the National 
Nuclear Security Administration's Advanced Simulation and 
Computing program, a 1 percent decrease from the fiscal year 
2022 enacted level of $747.0 million.
    Given the transition to Exascale computing, as well as the 
integration of machine learning and artificial intelligence in 
pre-processors, the committee recommends an increase of $10.0 
million.

Operations of Facilities

    The budget request included $1.0 billion for the National 
Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) Operations of 
Facilities program. Given the high workload at the NNSA uranium 
facilities, the committee recommends an increase of $8.0 
million.

Maintenance and Repair of Facilities

    The budget request included $680.0 million for the National 
Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) Maintenance and Repair 
of Facilities program, a 3 percent decrease from the fiscal 
year 2022 enacted level of $700.0 million. Given the high 
workload at the NNSA facilities, especially those processing 
uranium, the committee recommends an increase of $10.0 million.

West End Protected Area Reduction project

    The budget request included $3.9 million for the National 
Nuclear Security Administration's West End Protected Area 
Reduction project number 17-D-710. Given the importance of 
reducing the protected boundary of the weapons work at the 
uranium facilities, so that World War II-era vacant buildings 
can be torn down, the committee recommends an increase of $8.0 
million to accelerate the project.

Bioassurance Program

    The budget request included $20.0 million for the National 
Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) Bioassurance Program, 
a new initiative in fiscal year 2023, so that the NNSA can 
provide base funding to support other agencies' requests to 
utilize unique NNSA facilities, such as large-scale computing 
for genetic sequencing.
    The committee continues to assess longer-term planning for 
this program. The committee recommends a decrease of $15.0 
million and, elsewhere in this report, directs the NNSA to 
provide to the congressional defense committees a detailed 5-
year funding plan.

Office of River Protection radioactive liquid tank waste stabilization 
        and disposition

    The budget request included $801.1 million for the 
Department of Energy's Office of River Protection radioactive 
liquid tank waste stabilization and disposition, a 4.4 percent 
decrease from the fiscal year 2022 enacted level of $837.8 
million. The committee recommends an increase of $10.0 million 
to continue the management and stabilization of the liquid 
radioactive waste tanks.

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory excess facilities 
        decontamination and demolition

    The budget request included $12.0 million for the 
Department of Energy's excess facility decontamination and 
demolition activities at Lawrence Livermore National 
Laboratory, a 65.7 percent decrease from the fiscal year 2022 
enacted level of $35.0 million. The committee recommends an 
increase of $10.0 million to continue the decontamination and 
demolition of excess facilities so that additional space can be 
made available on the laboratory campus.

Oak Ridge nuclear facility decontamination and demolition

    The budget request included $334.2 million for the 
Department of Energy's nuclear facility decontamination and 
demolition program at the Oak Ridge Y-12 plant to remove vacant 
and hazardous facilities, which is a 1 percent decrease from 
the fiscal year 2022 enacted level of $337.1 million. The 
committee recommends an increase of $5.0 million to continue 
stabilizing and demolishing vacant facilities at the Oak Ridge 
Y-12 National Security Complex.

Savannah River Site radioactive liquid tank waste stabilization

    The budget request included $851.7 million for the 
Department of Energy's radioactive liquid waste stabilization 
program at the Savannah River Site to continue stabilizing and 
vitrifying the radioactive liquid tank waste, which is a 4.2 
percent decrease from the fiscal year 2022 enacted level of 
$889.3 million. The committee recommends an increase of $10.0 
million to continue stabilizing and vitrifying the radioactive 
liquid waste.

Waste Isolation Pilot Plant construction

    The budget request included $84.1 million for the 
construction projects at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant, which 
is a 6.6 percent decrease from the fiscal year 2022 enacted 
level of $90.0 million. The committee recommends an increase of 
$6.0 million to continue construction activities at the Waste 
Isolation Pilot Plant for the ventilation system and exhaust 
shaft.

Uranium Enrichment Decontamination and Decommissioning Fund

    The budget request included $6.9 billion for the Department 
of Energy's Office of Environmental Management, of which $417.0 
million was requested to transfer to the Uranium Enrichment 
Decontamination and Decommissioning Fund. This fund was 
authorized in section 1101 of the Energy Policy Act of 1992 
(Public Law 102-486) but expired in 2007.
    As indicated in the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239), the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66), the 
Carl Levin and Howard P. `Buck' McKeon National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291), 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
(Public Law 114-92), and the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2022 (Public Law 117-81), the administration 
should propose to directly contribute to this fund rather than 
use the Office of Environmental Management's budget as a 
contribution source.
    Accordingly, the committee recommends a decrease of $417.0 
million from the Federal contribution to the Uranium Enrichment 
Decontamination and Decommissioning Fund.

                       Items of Special Interest


Comptroller General review of End State Contracting task orders

    The committee notes that the Department of Energy's Office 
of Environmental Management's (EM) implementation of the End 
State Contracting Model represents a new method of contracting 
in its use of post-award task orders. These task orders must be 
negotiated between EM and the contractor. The use of such task 
orders--and the need to define requirements, contract type, and 
prices--requires additional effort and specific training in 
order to be successful. Previous Government Accountability 
Office (GAO) reviews have revealed problems with EM's 
management of contracts and major projects, which have been on 
GAO's High Risk List since 1990.
    The committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to evaluate the extent to which EM has established 
processes and trained staff to implement, manage, and monitor 
all End State Contracting Model task orders. The Comptroller 
General shall provide preliminary observations to the 
congressional defense committees not later than May 1, 2023, 
with a report to follow on an agreed upon date.

Comptroller General review of Office of Environmental Management's 
        strategy for complex-wide waste disposal

    The Department of Energy's Office of Environmental 
Management (EM) is responsible for the disposal of different 
waste streams across the EM complex and has yet to make a final 
decision for how to dispose of some of this waste, including 
supplemental low-activity waste from the Hanford Site, greater-
than-class C waste, depleted uranium oxide from the depleted 
uranium hexafluoride conversion facilities, and low-level waste 
from cleanup of the gaseous diffusion plants. Although several 
Federal and commercial disposal facilities exist across the 
United States, many of these sites are limited in what waste 
they can or will accept for regulatory, policy, environmental, 
or capacity reasons.
    The committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to evaluate what waste streams EM is currently managing 
or plans to generate that do not yet have a disposal pathway 
and the extent to which EM has an integrated strategic plan for 
waste disposal across the EM complex. The Comptroller General 
shall provide preliminary observations to the congressional 
defense committees not later than May 1, 2023, with a report to 
follow on an agreed upon date.

Comptroller General review of the Office of Environmental Management's 
        workforce capacity, skills, retention, and hiring

    The Department of Energy's (DOE) Office of Environmental 
Management (EM) is facing significant workforce challenges, as 
more than half of its employees are eligible for retirement in 
the next 5 years. Moreover, a Government Accountability Office 
(GAO) report published March 15, 2022, titled ``Waste Isolation 
Pilot Plant: Construction Challenges Highlight the Need for DOE 
to Address Root Causes'' (GAO-22-105057) noted workforce 
shortages at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant and in EM's 
acquisitions workforce.
    The committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to evaluate the extent to which EM has assessed whether 
it has sufficient capacity and skills needed to meet EM's 
mission and EM's actions to address increasing attrition due to 
retirements and resignations and to hire new employees to 
replace them. The Comptroller General shall provide preliminary 
observations to the congressional defense committees not later 
than May 1, 2023, with a report to follow on an agreed upon 
date.

Comptroller General review of the Savannah River Site's H-Canyon

    During the Cold War, the Department of Energy (DOE) 
produced nuclear materials for nuclear weapons at its Savannah 
River Site by dissolving highly radioactive spent nuclear fuel 
from reactors in a facility known as H-Canyon. The DOE had 
planned to end H-Canyon operations in 2007, but in 2006, the 
DOE proposed extending the operating life of H-Canyon to 2019 
to downblend highly-enriched uranium to low-enriched uranium, 
which it would then sell to the Tennessee Valley Authority.
    DOE's contract for selling downblended low-enriched uranium 
to the Tennessee Valley Authority is now expiring, and DOE's 
Office of Environmental Management (EM) has proposed changing 
H-Canyon's mission to dissolving the spent nuclear fuel stored 
in L-basin, which contains highly-enriched uranium. According 
to EM, it could potentially save billions of dollars if H-
Canyon is able to accelerate the de-inventory of L-basin, which 
would in turn allow the basin to be decommissioned up to 15 
years earlier than planned. In light of the aging 
infrastructure of H-Canyon, the committee is concerned about 
the extent to which DOE can safely operate H-Canyon to carry 
out this proposed mission.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to provide preliminary observations to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than May 1, 2023, 
with a report to follow on an agreed upon date, that shall 
address the following elements:
          (1) The costs to maintain, upgrade, and operate H-
        Canyon;
          (2) The safety requirements for this operation and 
        the extent to which the H-Canyon can meet modern safety 
        standards to complete this work; and
          (3) How EM's proposed plans would affect the site's 
        tank waste mission.

Comptroller General to continue ongoing evaluation of the Hanford Waste 
        Treatment Plant

    The committee notes that the Department of Energy's Office 
of Environmental Management (EM) continues to appear on the 
Government Accountability Office's High Risk List report, which 
cites programs vulnerable to waste, fraud, abuse, and 
mismanagement. EM's largest project resides in Hanford, 
Washington. This site, whose mission is nuclear waste cleanup 
and environmental restoration, has faced numerous technical 
challenges, cost overruns, and schedule delays.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to continue its ongoing evaluation of 
environmental cleanup efforts at the Hanford Site, including 
the Waste Treatment Plant, in the areas of cost-schedule 
performance, technology readiness levels, contractor assurance, 
project management, as well as the start of Direct-Feed Low-
Activity Waste treatment and Hanford's long-term schedule and 
budget needs, with a preliminary briefing at a date to be 
mutually agreed upon.

Comptroller General to continue ongoing oversight of the Waste 
        Isolation Pilot Plant

    The committee notes that the severity of the 2014 accidents 
at the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) necessitates biannual 
briefings to the congressional defense committees on actions 
taken towards bringing the WIPP toward full operational status, 
including contractor oversight, general plant operations 
planning, as well as DOE's prioritization of transuranic waste 
planned for shipment to the WIPP.
    The committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to review these biannual updates and periodically 
provide briefings to the congressional defense committees on 
significant findings and trends. The Comptroller General shall 
provide the first briefing not later than May 1, 2023, with a 
report to follow at a time agreed upon with the committees.

Cybersecurity at nuclear weapons complexes of the National Nuclear 
        Security Administration

    Cybersecurity of the nuclear weapons complex is of 
paramount concern based on modern adversary threat vectors for 
ongoing modernization programs. Therefore, not later than March 
31, 2023, the committee directs the Administrator for Nuclear 
Security to submit to the congressional defense committees a 
report for funding cybersecurity at the nuclear weapons complex 
of the National Nuclear Security Administration. The report 
shall be disaggregated by each site of the NNSA and include a 
description of the cybersecurity requirements of each site and 
the percentage of the funding for cybersecurity that is 
currently funded, directly or indirectly against the current 
requirements.

Department of Energy contracting

    On May 16, 2022, the National Nuclear Security 
Administration (NNSA) cancelled the combined contract for 
management and operations (M&O) of the Pantex Plant and Y-12 
National Security Complex awarded on November 29, 2021, in 
order to significantly re-scope the subsequent M&O contracts 
for Pantex and Y-12. While the committee does not oppose the 
cancellation decision, the lack of transparency into the 
factors or metrics used to make this decision raises concerns 
regarding the potential benefits of such a strategy, given that 
the NNSA's current approach does not envision awarding new M&O 
contracts for several more years. The committee believes the 
NNSA's approach risks undermining workforce confidence in both 
locations due to the lack of a clearly articulated public 
strategy.
    The committee previously expressed concern about a lack of 
predictability in the contracting schedule for large M&O 
contracts, as well as contracts for decontamination and 
decommissioning (D&D) and remediation, in the Senate report 
accompanying S. 1519 (S. Rept. 115-125) of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018. The committee also 
observes that while the NNSA has made significant strides in 
improving its contract and project management oversight 
performance over the past decade, it remains on the Government 
Accountability Office's ``High Risk List'' since its 
designation in 2009.
    Additionally, the committee is concerned that extended 
delays in the contracting process can pose a risk to the 
mission in cases where under-performing incumbents are unable 
to be replaced in a timely manner. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Comptroller General of the United States, as part 
of its ongoing work to review M&O and D&D contracts, to examine 
factors contributing to long delays between initial 
solicitations and final awards, and the metrics used to measure 
those factors. The Comptroller General shall provide a briefing 
with preliminary observations of this review to the Committees 
on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives not later than April 1, 2023, followed by a 
report to be delivered on a mutually agreeable date.

Domestic uranium enrichment

    The committee recognizes that a domestic uranium enrichment 
capability is vital for U.S. national security. To advance and 
maintain this capability, the committee supports ongoing 
efforts by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) 
to establish and implement long-term plans for continued 
research, development, and demonstration of enrichment 
technologies to support deployment decisions. In addition, the 
committee supports activities that increase the Technology 
Readiness Level of enrichment technologies to facilitate 
deployment, improve the economics and reliability of these 
technologies, and maintain Federal Government expertise in this 
area.
    The committee also recognizes the trilateral Australia-
United Kingdom-United States security pact as a sea change in 
joint capability development and interoperability. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Administrator for Nuclear Security, 
not later than March 31, 2023, to provide the congressional 
defense committees a report on the current enriched uranium 
supply and demand curves, taking into account potential 
requirements for the United States to provide fuel cores for a 
future Australian submarine fleet.

Extending provision to continue reviewing National Nuclear Security 
        Administration financial integration

    The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has 
taken steps to implement a common financial reporting system, 
as required in the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328). The committee expects 
NNSA to continue its efforts to collect accurate and complete 
financial data that are comparable across contractors, and to 
use these data for program and project management, decision-
making, and reporting total program costs. The Government 
Accountability Office (GAO) has issued three reports on NNSA's 
efforts that have included recommendations to improve NNSA's 
common financial reporting system, published January 31, 2019, 
titled ``National Nuclear Security Administration: Additional 
Actions Needed to Collect Common Financial Data'' (GAO-19-101); 
published January 16, 2020, titled ``National Nuclear Security 
Administration: Additional Verification Checks Could Improve 
the Accuracy and Consistency of Reported Financial Data (GAO-
20-180); and published February 2022, titled ``National Nuclear 
Security Administration: Actions Needed to Improve Usefulness 
of Common Financial Data'' (GAO-22-104810).
    The committee expects the Administrator for Nuclear 
Security to fully implement these recommendations. Further, the 
committee directs the Comptroller General of the United States 
to continue its periodic reviews of NNSA's financial 
integration efforts, as originally directed in the Senate 
report accompanying S. 1519 (S. Rept. No. 115-125) of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018, for 
fiscal years 2023 through 2025 on a schedule to be determined 
with the committee.

Five year bio-assurance report

    Elsewhere in this report, the committee recommends a 
reduction of $15.0 million to the budget request of $20.0 
million for a new start program titled bio-assurance. The 
committee believes that prudent planning demands a detailed 
plan for baseline funding to support such activities to ensure 
the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) can be held 
accountable for any growth that might occur.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Administrator for 
Nuclear Security to provide to the congressional defense 
committees a detailed 5-year funding plan, not later than 
February 28, 2023, that describes:
          (1) Which laboratories and plants will receive such 
        funding;
          (2) Which facilities NNSA expects will be utilized 
        under the program;
          (3) The personnel expected to be supported (e.g. 
        full-time staff members, post-doctoral researchers, or 
        students);
          (4) Other agencies that this baseline funding would 
        support;
          (5) Past examples of and outcomes from such support; 
        and
          (6) A clear rationale for why such activities should 
        not be resourced within other U.S. Government agencies 
        currently conducting biological research as part of 
        their core missions.
    The NNSA has world-class facilities for high performance 
computing, mathematics, and analytical chemistry that should be 
made available, where possible, to other agencies, given the 
current pandemic and future ones the United States may face. 
However, these resources are made available to other agencies 
under other existing arrangements and it is not obvious why 
bio-assurance activities should not be conducted in a similar 
fashion.

National Nuclear Security Administration planning for National Ignition 
        Facility/Inertial Confinement Fusion program

    The National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) 
Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) program relies primarily on 
three facilities to conduct high energy density experiments and 
research: (1) The National Ignition Facility at Lawrence 
Livermore National Laboratory; (2) The Z Machine at Sandia 
National Laboratories; and, (3) The Omega Laser at the 
University of Rochester. The ICF program provides scientific 
understanding and experimental capabilities that enable 
assessment and certification of the U.S. nuclear weapons 
stockpile and supports long-term research and development 
efforts in ignition science and ignition-generated fusion.
    The committee notes that balancing these missions has put a 
strain on infrastructure. It is essential to ensure that 
infrastructure is appropriately maintained and can continue to 
support nuclear weapon modernization programs and the stockpile 
stewardship mission.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Administrator for 
Nuclear Security to develop a comprehensive ICF 10 Year Plan 
covering fiscal years 2023-2033, and to submit the plan to the 
congressional defense committees not later than December 31, 
2023. The plan should include, but not be limited to, the 
following:
          (1) A strategy for balancing work across multiple 
        missions, including cost recovery or cost-sharing where 
        appropriate;
          (2) Projected total ICF budget estimates, based on 
        data about recent program cost;
          (3) Current and projected maintenance budget, 
        deferred maintenance of facilities, and plans to 
        address maintenance needs;
          (4) Significant planned and potential facility 
        recapitalization or upgrades to existing facilities;
          (5) Projected shot rate and discussion of what is 
        maximal and sustainable;
          (6) ICF support required by specific current and 
        planned nuclear weapons modernization programs; and,
          (7) Integration with NNSA's Advanced Computing and 
        Simulation program, whose high performance computers 
        will use ICF-generated data.

National Nuclear Security Administration small business contracting

    The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) 
contracts with small businesses each year through direct 
contracts with small businesses or first-tier subcontracts 
through its large management and operating (M&O) contracts. The 
committee directs the Comptroller General of the United States 
to review NNSA's approach to contracting with small businesses 
and achieving its small business contracting goals. The 
Comptroller General shall provide a briefing to the committee 
on plans for the review not later than December 31, 2023, with 
a report to follow on at a date agreed upon at the time of the 
briefing. The review shall address:
          (1) How NNSA and M&O contractors determine which 
        goods and services to purchase from small businesses;
          (2) The types of goods and services that NNSA or M&O 
        contractors have purchased from small businesses;
          (3) Whether the plans to subcontract with small 
        businesses outlined in offers for M&O contracts are 
        being implemented under M&O contracts once awarded;
          (4) The differences, if any, in NNSA and its M&O 
        contractors' planned obligations to contracts with 
        small businesses and the actual obligation and 
        expenditure amounts under such contracts; and
          (5) How DOE monitors M&O contractors' obligations and 
        expenditures for subcontracts with small businesses.

National Nuclear Security Administration's foundational nuclear 
        nonproliferation capabilities

    The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has 
identified risks to its ability to provide a stable foundation 
for its nuclear nonproliferation programs into the future, such 
as challenges stemming from an aging and retiring workforce, as 
well as potentially more diverse pathways by which adversaries 
could develop nuclear weapons. In response, NNSA has taken some 
steps to develop and recruit new expertise and identify the 
resources it may need to deal with a changing threat landscape.
    The committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to conduct a review on the scope and effectiveness of 
NNSA's efforts to sustain the foundational workforce, 
technology, and infrastructure assets for the agency's nuclear 
nonproliferation mission. Specifically, the review shall 
assess:
          (1) NNSA's programs and other initiatives that seek 
        to strengthen its nonproliferation workforce, including 
        its management and operating contractors;
          (2) The condition of NNSA's nonproliferation 
        infrastructure, including identifying maintenance, 
        recapitalization, and replacement needs, and any new 
        infrastructure that may be under evaluation; and
          (3) The extent to which NNSA's programming and 
        planning process identifies levels of budgetary 
        resources to implement these efforts.
    The Comptroller General shall notify the committee when the 
work is initiated and subsequently submit a report to the 
committees at a date agreed upon at the time of initiation.

Nuclear weapons industrial base risks and gaps

    The committee notes that the National Nuclear Security 
Administration (NNSA) has failed to provide annual briefings 
and reports as required under section 3113 of the William M. 
(Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283), as amended, related to gaps and 
risks in the nuclear weapons industrial base and NNSA's 
progress in addressing those gaps and risks. The committee 
emphasizes the importance of NNSA developing a robust 
industrial base monitoring and risk assessment capability to 
ensure supply of critical stockpile materials, components, and 
subcomponents.
    Following NNSA's submission of its first required report, 
the committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to undertake a comprehensive review of NNSA's plans for 
addressing gaps and risks to the nuclear weapons industrial 
base. Such a review shall include an assessment of:
          (1) The progress the NNSA has made in establishing a 
        capability to monitor, track, and identify such gaps 
        and risks;
          (2) The necessary actions, resources, timelines, and 
        coordination efforts the NNSA has identified to address 
        gaps and risks; and
          (3) How the actions the NNSA has taken to address 
        nuclear weapon industrial base gaps and risks compare 
        to industrial base management actions taken by other 
        agencies.
    The Comptroller General shall provide a briefing to the 
congressional defense committees on its preliminary findings 
within 180 days of NNSA's submission of its report and shall 
subsequently submit a report to the committees at a date agreed 
upon at the time of the briefing.

Nuclear weapons life cycle

    The committee believes a streamlined and flexible weapon 
acquisition process is an important component of a responsive 
nuclear security enterprise. Currently, nuclear weapons are 
designed, developed, produced, maintained, retired, and 
dismantled in a seven-phase process known as the Phase X 
Process. The committee is concerned that the current rate of 
execution for this process is insufficient to pace the evolving 
global security environment and respond to a significant change 
in deterrence requirements. For example, the National Nuclear 
Security Administration's Stockpile Stewardship and Management 
Plan for Fiscal Year 2022 indicates it expects study and 
engineering phases for the W93 submarine launched ballistic 
missile warhead to take at least 12 years, transitioning to 
production sometime between 2034 and 2036. The committee 
believes such extended timelines are simply not tenable for the 
current and future threat environments.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Administrator for 
Nuclear Security, in coordination with the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment and the Vice Chairman 
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to conduct an unconstrained 
review of the Phase X Process, including associated Department 
of Defense processes, such as military requirements 
development, and to provide a report to the defense committees, 
not later than May 1, 2023. The report shall include 
recommendations for changes that would accelerate and 
streamline bureaucratic processes, increase responsiveness, and 
ensure the weapon acquisition process adequately prioritizes 
schedule and capability.

Periodic review of National Nuclear Security Administration 
        infrastructure

    The Comptroller General of the United States is currently 
conducting a review of the National Nuclear Security 
Administration's (NNSA) portfolio of line item construction 
projects, focusing on large projects with a total cost in 
excess of $100.0 million. As the committee has previously 
noted, NNSA is undertaking an unprecedented number of 
construction projects as part of its nuclear modernization 
plans.
    As NNSA's management of these projects will continue over 
the next few decades, and the agency has a past record of 
schedule delays and cost overruns on large projects, the 
committee directs the Comptroller General to continue the 
review of NNSA's large construction projects on a biennial 
basis and submit a final report every other year on a date 
agreed to by the committee.

Periodic review of National Nuclear Security Administration weapons 
        systems

    The committee notes that the National Nuclear Security 
Administration (NNSA) plans to spend billions of dollars over 
the next two decades refurbishing nuclear warheads and bombs 
through life extension programs, as well as starting a new 
weapon modernization program. The committee believes that 
NNSA's past record makes close oversight essential to ensure 
that performance issues, such as schedule delays, scope 
changes, or cost overruns, are closely monitored and that the 
committee has independent knowledge of program progress.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to review the status of NNSA's portfolio of 
life extension programs and weapon acquisition or modernization 
programs, focused on cost and schedule performance and key 
acquisition process milestones. The committee further directs 
the Comptroller General to submit an initial report on a date

Report on Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management Test 
        Bed Initiative

    The committee has noted that the cost of using grout as an 
alternative to vitrifying the supplemental low level waste 
(SLAW) at the Hanford reservation may be as low as 10 percent 
the cost of glass vitrification, saving some $20.0 billion. 
Section 3134 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) and section 3125 of the 
William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2021 (Public Law 116-283) have continued to 
task the Department of Energy to contract with a federally 
funded research and development center (FFRDC) to investigate 
the use of grouting (and other technologies), including what 
additional secondary waste could result from the use of grout, 
what additional pre-treatment may be required for the use of 
grout, and the potential to dispose of the grout outside the 
Hanford reservation at a facility licensed by the Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission (NRC). These sections also tasked the 
Department to enter into an agreement with the National 
Academies of Sciences to peer review the FFRDC analysis with 
public input.
    The disposal of the supplemental low level waste is 
particularly important given the cost savings from using grout, 
as well as the fact that tank lifetime that the waste is 
presently stored in at the Hanford reservation will incur 
greater risk over time. As part of this effort, the Department 
has undertaken a pilot program to test methodologies to turn 
low level waste from the Hanford storage tanks into grout. In 
2017, the Department successfully turned 3 gallons of low level 
tank waste into grout (known as the ``Test Bed Initiative'') 
and disposed of it at a NRC-licensed facility in Andrews, 
Texas, as class A waste. The Department has subsequently 
proposed to turn 2000 gallons of low level waste into grout and 
has received $10.0 million in appropriations to do so.
    The first report by the National Academies of Sciences from 
section 3125 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021, dated January 
6, 2022, recommended a similar risk-based approach stating, 
``Reframing the fundamental question to be addressed in the 
FFRDC analysis going forward as: How can decisions about 
treatment of SLAW facilitate the fastest removal of the waste 
from the tanks and into a disposal facility, all things 
considered (e.g., budget limits, technology uncertainties, and 
regulatory acceptability)? This reframing will focus 
consideration on the most pressing issue of the risks of tank 
containment breach.''
    Therefore the committee directs the Assistant Secretary for 
the Department of Energy Office of Environmental Management to 
submit to the congressional defense committees a long-term plan 
for the development of grout consistent with the ongoing 
efforts of the FFRDC, the peer review by the National 
Academies, and the programmatic effort within the Department 
titled the ``Test Bed Initiative,'' not later than February 28, 
2023. The report shall include not only a long-term plan for 
the Test Bed Initiative but the required funding and other 
hurdles that may impede its progress.

          TITLE XXXII--DEFENSE NUCLEAR FACILITIES SAFETY BOARD

Authorization (sec. 3201)
    The committee recommends a provision that would authorize 
funding for the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board at 
$41.4 million, consistent with the budget request.
Delegation of authority to Chairperson of Defense Nuclear Facilities 
        Safety Board (sec. 3202)
    The committee recommends a provision that would amend 
section 311 of the Atomic Energy Act of 1954 (42 U.S.C. 2286) 
to delegate limited authority to the Chairperson, under certain 
constraints and with notification.

                  TITLE XXXV--MARITIME ADMINISTRATION

Maritime Administration (sec. 3501)
    The committee recommends a provision that would reauthorize 
certain aspects of the Maritime Administration.

                       DIVISION D--FUNDING TABLES

Authorization of amounts in funding tables (sec. 4001)
    The committee recommends a provision that would provide for 
the allocation of funds among programs, projects, and 
activities in accordance with the tables in division D of this 
Act, subject to reprogramming in accordance with established 
procedures.
    Consistent with the previously expressed views of the 
committee, the provision would also require that decisions by 
an agency head to commit, obligate, or expend funds to a 
specific entity on the basis of such funding tables be based on 
authorized, transparent, statutory criteria, or merit-based 
selection procedures in accordance with the requirements of 
sections 2304(k) and 2374 of title 10, United States Code, and 
other applicable provisions of law.

               Congressional Budget Office Cost Estimate

    It was not possible to include the Congressional Budget 
Office cost estimate on this legislation because it was not 
available at the time the report was filed. It will be included 
in material presented during the Senate floor debate on the 
legislation.

                           Regulatory Impact

    Paragraph 11(b) of rule XXVI of the Standing Rules of the 
Senate requires that a report on the regulatory impact of the 
bill be included in the report on the bill. The committee finds 
that there is no regulatory impact in the case of the National 
Defense Authorization Bill for Fiscal Year 2023.

                        Changes in Existing Law

    Pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 12 of rule XXVI of 
the Standing Rules of the Senate, the changes in existing law 
made by certain portions of the bill have not been shown in 
this section of the report because, in the opinion of the 
committee, it is necessary to dispense with showing such 
changes in order to expedite the business of the Senate and 
reduce the expenditure of funds.
