BACKGROUND
Purpose of the Bill
This bill makes appropriations for the military functions
of the Department of Defense for the period October 1, 2024,
through September 30, 2025. Functional areas include the pay,
allowances, and support of military personnel, operation and
maintenance of the forces, procurement of equipment and
systems, and research, development, test and evaluation.
Appropriations for foreign military assistance, military
construction, family housing, nuclear weapons programs, and
civil defense are provided in other bills.
Hearings
The Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense began hearings
on April 9, 2024 and concluded them on July 18, 2024, after
eight separate sessions. The subcommittee heard testimony from
representatives of the Department of Defense and the
Intelligence Community.
Summary of the Bill
The Committee recommendation of $852,179,000,000 includes
funding to develop, maintain, and equip the military forces of
the United States and for other purposes, including
$514,000,000 in mandatory spending and $20,800,000,000 in
emergency funding.
The fiscal year 2025 budget request for activities funded
in the Department of Defense appropriations bill totals
$833,415,121,000 in new budget authority, including
$514,000,000 in mandatory spending.
In fiscal year 2024, the Congress appropriated
$892,059,545,000 for activities funded in this bill. This
amount included $824,999,000,000 in base appropriations of
which $514,000,000 was mandatory spending. Additionally, the
Congress appropriated $67,060,545,000 in emergency
appropriations for fiscal year 2024 in Public Law 118-50.
The Committee recommendation in this bill is $6,380,000,000
above the amount provided in fiscal year 2024, excluding all
emergency funding, and $18,763,879,000 above the amount
requested for fiscal year 2025 including emergency funding.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Committee has displayed recommended adjustments in
tables presented under each appropriation account.
These adjustments reflect the following Committee actions:
removal of funds excess to need based on contract award savings
or changes to a program's acquisition strategy; elimination of
funds requested for programs which are lower priority,
duplicative, or not supported by firm requirements with out-
year development or procurement appropriations; deletion of
excess funds based on program delays or slow execution;
addition of funds to reflect congressional priorities, to
include executable unfunded requirements, and to rectify
shortfalls in the budget estimate; and implementation of
recommendations in S.4638, the National Defense Authorization
Act for Fiscal Year 2025, as reported by the Senate Armed
Services Committee.
CLASSIFIED PROGRAM ADJUSTMENTS
The Committee recommends adjustments to certain classified
programs, as explained in the classified annex to the
Committee's report.
Definition of Program, Project and Activity
The terms ``program, project, and activity'' for
appropriations contained in this act shall be defined as the
most specific level of budget items identified in the
Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2025, the related
classified annexes and Committee report, and P-1 and R-1 budget
justification documents as subsequently modified by
congressional action.
The following exception to the above definition shall
apply: the military personnel and the operation and maintenance
accounts, for which the term ``program, project, and activity''
is defined as the appropriations accounts contained in the
Department of Defense Appropriations Act.
At the time the President submits the budget request for
fiscal year 2026, the Secretary of Defense is directed to
transmit to the congressional defense committees budget
justification documents to be known as the ``M-1'' and ``O-1''
which shall identify, at the budget activity, activity group,
and sub-activity group level, the amounts requested by the
President to be appropriated to the Department of Defense for
military personnel and operation and maintenance in any budget
request, or amended budget request, for fiscal year 2026.
Reprogramming Guidance
The Secretary of Defense is directed to continue to follow
the reprogramming guidance for acquisition accounts as
specified in the report accompanying the House version of the
Department of Defense appropriations bill for fiscal year 2008
(House Report 110-279). The dollar threshold for reprogramming
funds shall be $15,000,000 for military personnel; $15,000,000
for operation and maintenance; $15,000,000 procurement; and
$15,000,000 research, development, test and evaluation.
Also, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) is
directed to continue to provide the congressional defense
committees annual DD Form 1416 reports for titles I and II and
quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD Form 1416 reports for service
and defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of this act.
Reports for titles III and IV shall comply with guidance
specified in the explanatory statement accompanying the
Department of Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2006.
The Department shall continue to follow the limitation that
prior approval reprogrammings are set at either the specified
dollar threshold or 20 percent of the procurement or research,
development, test and evaluation line, whichever is less. These
thresholds are cumulative from the base for reprogramming value
as modified by any adjustments. Therefore, if the combined
value of transfers into or out of a military personnel (M-1),
an operation and maintenance (O-1), a procurement (P-1), or a
research, development, test and evaluation (R-1) line exceeds
the identified threshold, the Secretary of Defense must submit
a prior approval reprogramming to the congressional defense
committees. In addition, guidelines on the application of prior
approval reprogramming procedures for congressional special
interest items are established elsewhere in this report.
Funding Increases
The funding increases outlined in the tables accompanying
each appropriation account shall be provided only for the
specific purposes indicated in the tables of Committee
Recommended Adjustments. The Committee directs that funding
increases shall be competitively awarded, or provided to
programs that have received competitive awards in the past.
Congressional Special Interest Items
Items for which additional funds have been recommended or
items for which funding is specifically reduced as shown in the
tables detailing Committee Recommended Adjustments or in
paragraphs using the phrase ``only for'' or ``only to'' are
congressional special interest items for the purpose of the
Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414). Each of these items must
be carried on the DD Form 1414 at the stated amount, as
specifically addressed elsewhere in this report. In addition,
section 8006 of this act provides direction on the treatment of
increases which appear in the tables of the Committee
Recommended Adjustments, including certain limitations on the
use of reprogramming authority in relation to these items.
Committee Initiatives
The Committee is pleased that the fiscal year 2025
President's budget request continues to prioritize investments
that resource the priorities identified in the 2022 National
Defense Strategy. The Committee's recommendation builds on
those proposals, and recommends increases that expand the
Department of Defense's capability and capacity to confront the
evolving global threat environment. This includes additional
funding to improve quality of life for military personnel and
their families; enhance military training and operational
readiness; strengthen recruiting, retention and training of the
Department of Defense acquisition workforce; sustain weapons
production lines identified by the military services as
critical; and invest in future critical technologies. Funds are
delineated in the tables of Committee Recommended Adjustments
and designated as congressional special interest items for the
purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414).
ADDITIONAL EMERGENCY APPROPRIATIONS
The Committee recommendation includes $20,800,000,000 in
additional emergency appropriations, as detailed in the tables
of Committee Recommended Adjustments, to address significant
Department of Defense shortfalls. The Committee has worked
closely with the Department of Defense, its military
components, and the Combatant Commands in developing its
recommendation. Many of the recommended additional funds
address unfunded requirements identified by the commanders of
the Combatant Commands and chiefs of the military services.
Other recommendations address emerging national security
requirements that were not known to the Department of Defense
at the time of the delivery of the fiscal year 2025 President's
budget request. These funding priorities include:
--$2,727,800,000 to address the unfunded priorities of the
Commander of U.S. Indo-Pacific Command and for other
capabilities relevant to near-peer competition,
including $450,000,000 to accelerate offensive space
control efforts of the Space Development Agency;
--$1,755,000,000 for the sustainment of operational and force
protection activities in the U.S. Central Command past
September 30, 2024, and for other readiness
investments;
--$1,172,057,000 to address anticipated fuel funding
shortfalls in fiscal year 2025;
--$3,445,446,000 to make an additional 500 Air Force aircraft
available than would otherwise be available at the
requested funding level;
--$838,660,000 to increase and accelerate the fielding of
counter unmanned aerial system capabilities to address
the growing and rapidly evolving threat posed by drones
to U.S. forces;
--$781,447,000 for quality of life initiatives for service
members and their families, including to accelerate the
U.S. Army's implementation of operational deployment
pay to recognize the rigors of overseas deployments and
to accelerate modernization of Marine Corps barracks to
improve the quality of unaccompanied housing for
service members;
--$2,153,500,000 for Navy shipbuilding for select acquisition
of battle force ships, including advance procurement
funding for a four-ship amphibious ship procurement, as
agreed to by the Navy and the shipbuilding industry
that will lead to cost savings of approximately
$900,000,000 versus buying the ships individually;
--$2,720,307,000 to revitalize the U.S. defense industrial
base, including expansion of solid rocket motor
production, raw materials purchases for critical
weapons systems, and modernization of Army ammunition
plants and Navy shipyards;
--$1,218,895,000 for air defense, missiles, and other
munitions;
--$478,488,000 for counterterrorism activities, including
increases intelligence, surveillance, and
reconnaissance and addressing worldwide force
protection requirements; and
--$3,508,400,000 for other targeted investments in air, land,
cyber, and space military capabilities.
The Committee believes that inclusion of these funds is
necessary in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2025
for the Armed Forces to have the proper resources to counter
Russia, deter the People's Republic of China, and continue to
address threats from Iran and terrorist groups against U.S.
forces and our allies and partners, consistent with the 2022
National Defense Strategy.
Readiness
The Committee recommends an additional $2,000,000,000 in
title VIII of this act to be transferred to the operation and
maintenance accounts and be divided proportionately among the
services and the National Guard and reserve components to
address shortfalls in weapons sustainment, training, and
operations for which funding was not requested in the fiscal
year 2025 President's budget request. The funding provided is a
congressional special interest item. The Secretary of Defense
and the Service Secretaries are directed to submit a detailed
spending plan by sub-activity group to the Committees on
Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate
not less than 30 days prior to the obligation of these funds.
These transfers may be implemented 30 days after congressional
notification unless an objection is received from either the
House or Senate Appropriations Committees.
Innovation
The Department of Defense [DOD] remains rightly focused on
driving innovation into its acquisition programs and internal
processes. During the past fiscal year, innovation at the
Departmental-level has taken on new forms, to include the
initiation of the Replicator program, the expansion of the
Defense Innovation Unit [DIU], and further maturation of the
Rapid Defense Experimentation Reserve [RDER]. The Committee
continues to view the end goal of defense innovation as
fielding the most advanced capabilities to operational units at
scale, thereby strengthening our National defense.
While innovation within acquisition programs requires
understanding a range of threats and potential concepts to
defeat them, the Committee believes that the importance of a
rigorous understanding of the technical maturity and
manufacturability of potential material solutions must also be
key considerations when deciding how to allocate limited
resources. Similarly, innovation should not create additional
layers of bureaucratic review, but must instead empower the
end-users the military services are responsible for manning,
training, and equipping. In fiscal year 2025, the Committee
again recommends substantial DOD resources for flexible,
innovation-focused spending, including more than $2,179,364,000
in Department-wide and Service funding for the prototyping and
maturation of promising, early-stage, and commercial
capabilities. While the Department has made progress in
coordinating enterprise-wide efforts with the establishment of
the Defense Innovation Working Group and the Defense Innovation
Community of Entities, the Committee believes additional action
is warranted to maximize the impact of the totality of
Department ``innovation-tagged'' resources, which are managed
by numerous entities with disparate reporting chains, and which
may or may not include the Department's acquisition executives.
In particular, the Committee believes that the DOD's RDER
initiative could be better positioned to support rapid
experimentation. The Department characterizes RDER as a process
through which the Undersecretary of Defense (Research and
Engineering) assesses military services prototypes' operational
relevance to the Joint Force through field experimentation.
Following these experiments, DOD stakeholders then analyze
collected data to, in part, inform future budgetary decisions.
However, the Committee notes that RDER has to date not resulted
in accelerated fielding outcomes. For example, less than one-
third of RDER programs funded in fiscal year 2023 have
``graduated'' from the program and formally transitioned into
the Services. Additionally, the majority of these projects will
lack dedicated Service funding in the fiscal year 2025
enactment due to lack of transition to the Services. While the
Committee is supportive of data-driven joint experimentation,
it is unaware of significant operational improvements derived
from the RDER funding construct to date. Therefore, the
Committee recommends slowing the rate of growth requested for
RDER and other adjustments, as detailed in the tables of
Committee Recommended Adjustments.
The Committee recommends full funding for Replicator funds
requested in the fiscal year 2025 President's budget request.
During fiscal year 2024, senior Department officials engaged
extensively with the Committee on the Replicator initiative. In
response to reporting requirements in the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-47), the Department is
reviewing Replicator system selections to account for the
doctrine, organization, training, materiel, leadership,
personnel, facilities, and policy [DOTMLPF-P] considerations
associated with the initiative. The Committee believes that
this comprehensive understanding and plan to address the
DOTMLPF-P implications are critical to the initiative's success
and has apparently not yet occurred in full. Additionally, the
Committee believes that selected programs would benefit from
the development of robust test and evaluation master plans
[TEMP] or similar test and evaluation (T&E] plans to ensure
that concepts as envisioned are technically capable of meeting
stated objectives. The Committee directs the Director of the
Defense Innovation Unit to engage with the Department's and
respective Services' technical leadership as well as the
Director, Operational Test and Evaluation, to ensure that
developed T&E plans are adequate, as well as fully resourced.
Not later than 60 days after the enactment of this act, the
Deputy Secretary of Defense and the Vice Chairman of the Joint
Chiefs of Staff shall provide a briefing to the congressional
defense committees on the DOTMLPF-P and T&E plans for each
selected Replicator system.
Additionally, the Committee understands that Replicator
Tranche Two selections are forthcoming, and that the Department
may seek congressional action to ensure additional funding for
Tranche Two systems is included in the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2025. In anticipation of these emerging
requirements, and in light of the Committee's substantive
concerns about the lack of results of RDER, the Committee
recommends reallocating RDER resources into a Rapid Defense
Innovation Reserve. The intent of this reallocation is to
enable the Department of Defense to reassess the RDER concept
and provide the Committee additional information on the most
effective use of requested funds for fiscal year 2025, which
may include continuing RDER efforts or accelerating Replicator
Tranche Two systems, until such time as funds for these systems
can be aligned in the appropriate appropriations accounts in
future budget submissions. Not later than October 1, 2024, the
Secretary of Defense shall brief the congressional defense
committees on the outcome of this assessment, to include a
determination of whether the funding proposed in the fiscal
year 2025 President's budget request would be better allocated
in support of alternative innovation concepts, to include
Replicator.
Notwithstanding the importance of the Department's priority
innovation initiatives, the Committee also notes that novel
advancements and integration of existing high-end weapons
systems remain critical forms of defense innovation.
Historically, the Strategic Capabilities Office [SCO] has
primarily focused on this form of innovation, identifying
instances in which existing Service capabilities can be
modified to enhance already fielded capabilities. In line with
past successes of these types of initiatives, the Committee
recommends an additional $75,000,000 in emergency funding to
integrate the PATRIOT Missile Segment Enhancement with the
Aegis Combat System aboard Navy warships.
The Committee again notes that many of the acquisition
controls and oversight mechanisms in place within statute and
regulation are the result of previous instances of financial or
acquisition mismanagement, unacceptable cost growth, or
wasteful acquisition strategies that delayed fielding
timeframes for programs. Innovation alone is not a substitute
for the sound financial, acquisition, and management best
practices that are essential to fielding capability to the
warfighter on time and on budget.
Department of Defense Acquisition Workforce
On May 15, 2024, the Committee received testimony from the
Department of Defense Acquisition Executive and each of the
Military Service Acquisition Executives to better understand
factors affecting acquisition outcomes. While the Department of
Defense's acquisition programs continue to deliver unparalleled
capabilities to the joint force, these capabilities are all too
often under-performing, behind schedule, and over budget.
The Committee confirmed that a robust and well-trained
acquisition workforce is one of the Department of Defense's
strongest assets in achieving programmatic goals, and urges
continued investment in its well-being and growth. The
Committee remains committed to ensuring that this workforce has
the capacity, in both personnel and skills, to properly perform
its mission and recommends funding, as requested, in the
Services' operation and maintenance, and research, development,
test and evaluation accounts; as well as in the Department's
Acquisition Workforce Account and Defense Working Capital
Funds. Further, the Committee includes an additional
$200,000,000 for Department acquisition management initiatives
to enable the workforce to improve oversight capabilities and
achieve more effective and efficient outcomes for the
warfighter and taxpayer.
With the submission of the President's budget request for
fiscal year 2026, the Committee directs each of the
Department's acquisition executives to provide a report to the
congressional defense committees identifying their respective
acquisition workforce requirements in support of acquisition
programs included in the Fiscal Year 2026 Future Years Defense
Program. Further, the Service Financial Managers and
Comptrollers of the Army, Navy, and Air Force are directed to
certify, with submission of the fiscal year 2026 President's
budget request, to the congressional defense committees, that
these acquisition workforce requirements are fully funded in
the fiscal year 2026 President's budget request. Finally, in
order to maintain visibility into and oversight of funding for
the defense acquisition workforce, these funds are designated
as congressional special interest items for the purpose of the
Base for Reprogramming, DD Form 1414.
Homeland Defense Radar-Hawaii
The Committee is aware that the requirements for the Next
Generation Interceptor program no longer necessitate the
program of record for the Homeland Defense Radar-Hawaii [HDR-
H]. The Committee notes that in fiscal year 2021 and 2022, the
Missile Defense Agency received $208,000,000 in additional
appropriations to continue production of the HDR-H radar. In
response to Senate Report 118-81, the congressional defense
committees were notified on May 9, 2024 that the panels
procured for HDR-H are being modified in support of Homeland
Defense Radar-Guam as excess articles under the Federal
Acquisition Regulation. The Committee notes that funds
appropriated for the Homeland Defense Radar-Hawaii in fiscal
year 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, and 2022 were specifically
appropriated for the purpose of the HDR-H program of record
and, therefore, a change to the purpose and amount of funds
enacted into law should have been notified in accordance with
section 8005 of applicable Department of Defense Appropriations
Acts. Therefore, the Committee directs the Comptroller General
of the United States to provide a legal opinion to the Defense
Appropriations Subcommittees of the Committees on
Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate
evaluating the Missile Defense Agency's compliance with all
applicable appropriations law.
Guam Enhanced Integrated Air and Missile Defense
The fiscal year 2025 President's budget request includes
$1,494,555,000 to deliver enhanced integrated air and missile
defense of Guam. The Committee recognizes the investment in
advanced radar systems and interceptors contribute to a layered
defense network while enhancing the overall security
architecture against emerging threats in the region, and
therefore includes an additional $181,300,000 in emergency
funding for the Missile Defense Agency [MDA] to accelerate
deployment of the Guam Defense System [GDS].
The Committee is encouraged by the progress of the GDS
Joint Executive Program Office in support of a robust missile
defense posture on Guam. The Committee notes the development of
architecture requirements, maturation of weapon system
technology, identification of a designated lead for specific
programs of record, coordination of test events, and
synchronization and fielding of systems with required
construction facilities will continue to require the sustained
commitment and attention of Department of Defense senior
leadership.
The Committee recognizes the challenges posed by a threat-
informed timeline for meeting initial operating capability of
GDS. However, the presentation of information provided in the
Department of the Army's fiscal year 2025 President's budget
request is limited, and in some cases, it has been consolidated
into single cost elements, limiting the ability of the
Committee to clearly identify the full scope of funding that
has been requested for the defense of Guam. Moreover, there is
no clear distinction of how these funds requested for GDS are
dissimilar from previously funded system enhancements, such as
for the battle command system architecture and system
survivability enhancements. The Committee notes that additional
detail and justification is needed in future budget materials
to provide congressional defense committees with the confidence
that the funds being requested are tied to established
requirements, a validated acquisition strategy, an identified
sustainment strategy, and an operational employment plan.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Army
and the Director of MDA to provide a briefing not later than 90
days after enactment of this act, and quarterly updates
thereafter, to the congressional defense committees on the
status of the funds that have been appropriated, to include
supplemental funding. The update shall include the status of
each of the following: (1) a consolidated presentation of all
Department of Defense funding for GDS, to include obligation
and expenditure data, (2) the acquisition development and
schedule of anticipated weapon systems delivery, (3) the
sequencing of integrated test events between the military
departments and MDA, and (4) justification for any new
investments necessary to keep pace with advanced threats.
Improving Cooperation With Partners and Allies
The Department of Department of Defense Appropriations Act,
2024 (Public Law 118-47) included $100,000,000 for the United
States Africa Command [USAFRICOM] and the United States
Southern Command [USSOUTHCOM], in addition to $200,000,000
included in the Defense Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law
117-328), to expand cooperation, share information, to train
and ultimately improve the abilities of our partner nations in
their specific areas of responsibility. The Committee maintains
the belief that a misconception exists that USAFRICOM and
USSOUTHCOM mission sets revolve solely around counter-terrorism
and counter-drug activities. In reality, both combatant
commands are immersed in peer-competition with the People's
Republic of China [PRC] with direct implications for our
Nation's overall security posture: The PRC's first overseas
base in Djibouti allows for power projection in the Horn of
Africa and Indian Ocean. In South America, the PRC has built a
space ground station in Argentina that can monitor the United
States' space assets. The PRC has also secured rights to build
infrastructure near the Straits of Magellan, and is competing
in projects related to the Panama Canal, both key chokepoints
for our Navy. In both commands, so-called Chinese fishing
vessels have illegally and systematically violated sovereign
territory through the use of gray zone pressure tactics.
Additionally, illegal mining and resource acquisition by
Chinese-owned entities is a growing concern. While the
Department's force management process excels at meeting
immediate and pressing warfighting needs, the Committee remains
concerned that underinvestment in these key geographic areas
fails to meet the Nation's long-term security needs. The
Committee notes that today's security situation has resulted in
the systematic de-prioritization of USAFRICOM and USSOUTHCOM
with respect to force allocation and resources by the
Department. As a result, the Committee reStates its belief that
the Department of Defense is underfunded in these regions.
The Committee believes there are unrealized opportunities
to increase our military cooperation and improve the
capabilities of our partners in these regions. Therefore, the
Committee recommends an additional $400,000,000, only for the
USSOUTHCOM and USAFRICOM areas of operation, to improve the
capabilities of its allies and partners in their respective
regions. This includes training partner forces, joint
exercises, purchasing equipment, intelligence activities,
preventing violence and stabilizing conflict-affected areas,
and other security cooperation activities as determined by the
Commander, USSOUTHCOM and Commander, USAFRICOM. The Committee
directs that none of these funds may be obligated or expended
until the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), in
coordination with Commander, USSOUTHCOM and Commander,
USAFRICOM presents an execution plan to the congressional
defense committees. Further, the Committee notes that while
some of these activities may be undertaken through title 10
United States Code section 333, the Commander, AFRICOM and
Commander, SOUTHCOM may propose projects utilizing any existing
authorities.
Joint Strike Fighter
The Committee is aware of significant delays to the Joint
Strike Fighter's Technology Refresh 3 (TR-3) program, which led
to an extended stoppage in government acceptance of aircraft
over the past year. Moreover, the Committee understands that it
will take a significant period of time to deliver the
substantial quantity of parked aircraft from a contractor site
to military installations, further complicating the balance of
completing delivery of previously funded aircraft with the
request for additional quantities in fiscal year 2025.
Additionally, the Committee notes that the aircraft that the
Department of Defense will accept within the coming months will
not be fully capable, and will require additional software
maturation to reach the functionality of previously delivered
aircraft, raising significant questions about the effectiveness
of the TR-3 program.
While acknowledging that the Joint Strike Fighter program
is comprised of a historically complex supply chain and must
accommodate a diverse set of stakeholders, the Committee
believes the program must adhere more closely to sound
acquisition fundamentals and develop specific plans to
stabilize cost, schedule, and performance.
Further, the Committee is deeply concerned by the lack of
clarity in contracting and acquisition of the fiscal year 2024
appropriated and fiscal year 2025 requested aircraft. The
Committee notes that the Joint Program Office and the prime
contractor remain unable to agree upon aircraft unit cost for
Lots 18 and 19.
Therefore, while the Committee recommends funding for the
number of aircraft in the fiscal year 2025 President's budget
request, the Committee also recommends several targeted
reductions, based on unearned award fees due to aircraft
delivery delays, prior-year actual spending on efforts such as
non-recurring engineering, and delivery delays associated with
TR-3 aircraft modifications.
United States Cyber Command
The Committee recommends $2,739,440,000 for United States
Cyber Command [USCYBERCOM] in fiscal year 2025, $319,129,000
above the fiscal year 2024 enacted level. The Committee
commends USCYBERCOM for significant improvements in
justification materials associated with its fiscal year 2024
President's budget request, and directs the Commander,
USCYBERCOM to consult with the Committees on Appropriations of
the House of Representatives and the Senate not later than 90
days after the enactment of this act on continued refinement of
its budget justification materials. The Committee also supports
the consolidation of cyber mission force resources under
USCYBERCOM and notes that these significant increases are
properly focused on readiness and the expansion of the
financial management staff necessary to fully implement the
planning, programming, budgeting, and execution processes
associated with enhanced budget control provided by Congress.
The Committee notes that the fiscal year 2025 President's
budget request includes a request to include the Cyber
Operations Technology Support program in the Software and
Digital Technology Pilot Program within Research, Development,
Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide budget activity 08. While the
Committee believes that this program is too hardware centric to
justify its inclusion in the Software and Digital Technology
Pilot Program in fiscal year 2025, it does recognize that
certain software centric programs within USCYBERCOM would
potentially benefit and will consider future recommendations on
the merits of each proposal.
Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution Reform
The Committee notes that the Commission on Planning,
Programming, Budgeting, and Execution [PPBE] Reform, mandated
by section 1004 of the fiscal year 2022 National Defense
Authorization Act (Public Law 117-81), submitted its final
report in March 2024. The report is the culmination of an end-
to-end review of the PPBE process and includes 28
recommendations aligned across five categories: (1) Improve the
Alignments of Budgets to Strategy; (2) Foster Innovation and
Adaptability; (3) Strengthen Relationships Between DoD and
Congress; (4) Modernize Business Systems and Data Analytics;
and (5) Strengthen the Capability of the Resourcing Workforce.
The Committee continues to support the language in the
Joint Explanatory Statement [JES] accompanying the Department
of Defense Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-47), which
described the many existing flexible mechanisms within the
current appropriations process available to the Department
through the effective use of its own internal guidelines,
regulations, and communication with Congress.
Subsequent to the publication of the commission's report,
the Department of Defense issued implementation guidance in
December 2023 regarding 13 near-term recommendations that the
Department can implement without any changes in statute or
other congressional action. The Committee commends the
Department for its swift action, and supports each of these
recommendation, which include improving information sharing
with the Congress; consolidating business systems; reviewing
and consolidating budget line items; improving recruiting and
retention of acquisition and financial management
professionals; improving financial workforce training; and
improving the analytical capabilities of the PPBE workforce.
The Committee also supports the establishment of an internal
DOD Task Force that would work with Congress to consider, and
as appropriate implement, the recommendations of the PPBE
Commission, as proposed in S. 4638, the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025, as reported.
The Committee also notes that some of the PPBE
recommendations propose substantial changes to the
appropriations structure and/or changes to law without a
sufficient rationale and without fully accounting for the
justification for why such structure was established in the
first place. Such is the case in the commission's
recommendations to establish milestone-based reprogramming
authority; increase the caps on existing authorities; and
reduce notification requirements for new start reprogramming
actions.
With respect to proposals to increase reprogramming
threshold amounts, the Committee encourages the Department to
heed the Commission's alternative recommendations focused on
streamlining the Department's extensive internal preparation
and review process before a reprogramming request even reaches
the Committee. The Committee notes the relatively expeditious
nature in which reprogrammings are processed by the Congress
once they are delivered. All four congressional defense
committees process year-end reprogramming actions in two weeks
or less 92 percent of the time, and 100 percent of the time
prior to the end of the fiscal year.
Further, the Committee notes that tens-of-billions of
dollars in transfer authority has gone unused. Given that the
Department is not utilizing the full extent of existing
transfer authority and that action can be taken swiftly when
the Department does communicate with Congress, the Committee
questions what increasing the reprogramming limits again will
accomplish other than decreasing the number of notifications to
the Congress and reducing oversight. Further, the Committee
notes that the assumption that reprogramming authority
thresholds should be tied in some way to the total budget
authority of an agency fails to recognize that the unit cost of
a weapon system is not tied to a program office's total budget.
Therefore, the Committee maintains the below threshold
reprogramming authorities enacted into law in fiscal year 2024.
Regarding proposals for new start programs, the
commission's recommendations focus on reducing congressional
notifications and increasing dollar threshold requirements,
intimating that the funding amount of a new start program is
indicative of its total life-cycle cost or the viability of a
new start. Congress has a duty to ensure that resources are
devoted to programs that have realistic requirements,
acquisition plans, cost assessments and sufficient technical
maturity. The life-cycle costs that may come with a new program
for many years into the future require vigorous review prior to
starting such a program. Further, the Committee reiterates that
82 percent of new starts were approved by the Committees on
Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate
in previous years.
The Committee also notes that the commission recommends a
single color of appropriations, citing an example from the F-35
Joint Program Office's concurrent development and procurement
as rationale, stating that, ``concurrency (overlap of
development and procurement) is the new norm in weapon system
fielding.'' The Committee recognizes that some programs undergo
concurrent development and procurement for various reasons,
including to improve capabilities of an existing platform while
still procuring older versions. However, excessive concurrency
should generally be avoided for new weapons systems because of
the cascading poor performance, delays, and cost growth that
have also become norms when this occurs. For example, the Joint
Strike Fighter program's management of the TR-3 and block four
upgrade utilized concurrent development and procurement
efforts. This has resulted in repeated development delays,
production lot changes, increased costs, and a substantial
quantity of aircraft unfit for acceptance by the Department. A
single color of money could compound that problem by decreasing
the time to recognize and financially control issues as they
occur, and to provide updates to the congressional defense
committees in a timely manner.
The Committee continues to take steps to be responsive to
the emergent needs of the Department of Defense, particularly
in the areas of innovation, as stated elsewhere in this act. In
addition, the Committee has enacted new legislation in the
Environmental Restoration accounts, as requested by the
Department, to allow the use of proceeds garnered from
litigation to be applied toward the cleanup of perfluoroalkyl
and polyfluoroalkyl substances that impact military
installations and surrounding communities. The Committee also
makes several targeted adjustments to the appropriations
accounts to address emergent changes in programs that
materialized after the president's budget request was submitted
to Congress, including: the realignment of funding to support
increased test rounds for the Conventional Prompt Strike
program; increased testing resources for the Long Range
Hypersonic Weapon; the realignment of resources to mitigate
shortfalls within the Global Positioning System's [GPS]
Operational Control Segment; realignments to the Resilient GPS
program initiated in fiscal year 2024 under the newly
authorized ``Quickstart'' authority; realignment of procurement
funding to advance procurement due to Intercontinental
Ballistic Missile Fuze Modernization delays; Counter-Unmanned
Aerial Systems addressed elsewhere in this act; realignments to
implement V-22 safety initiatives, and 5G resourcing technical
adjustments. These realignments demonstrate how the
appropriation process can effectively meeting the intent of
commission recommendations consistent with the constitutionally
mandated responsibilities of Congress.
Additionally, in the areas of budget line item
consolidation, the Committee once again worked with the
Department, the Army, and the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency to collaboratively consolidate line items.
These adjustments are discussed in further detail elsewhere in
this act. Further, the Committee notes that in Title IV of this
act, funding for the Department's primary data and analytics
platform, Advanced Analytics [Advana], has been transferred to
the budget activity eight software pilot program in the
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide
account, for more flexible and adaptable execution, consistent
with the commission's recommendations. The Committee believes
this to be an example of diligent collaboration between the
Department and the Committee to address solutions to problems.
The Committee acknowledges the recommendations on the
impact of continuing resolutions [CR] and the desire to
increase flexibility under CRs. The difficulty of operating
under a CR and the inefficiencies it causes and delays to
programs underscores the importance of Congress enacting
appropriations on-time.
The last and most important recommendation to highlight is
the commission's recommendation for the Department of Defense
to increase effective communication with the Congress.
Effective communication contributes to an appropriations
process where the Department can affect change to its budget
request to account for fact-of-life updates and provide
transparent insight into the status of programs. However, the
Committee notes that significant communication roadblocks still
exist in the Department. As an example, routine Questions for
the Record submitted by Senators who are members of the
Committee have taken the Office of the Secretary of Defense and
military services months to respond to, and some are still
outstanding, as are numerous reports mandated in previous
appropriations laws.
The Committee supports the intent of most of the PPBE
commission's recommendations and believes that improving
resource management processes are needed. Mindful of the
lessons learned that have led to current processes, the
Committee cautions against enacting blanket recommendations to
alter specific appropriations activities without clear
measurable outcomes or quantitative data to justify the
proposed changes. Improving acquisition and speed to execute is
important, however the end goal should always be to field the
most advanced capabilities to the warfighter at scale.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to
maintain the current appropriations structure in the fiscal
year 2026 President's budget request.
Drinking Water Contamination
The Committee remains concerned for the health and safety
of individuals affected by per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances
[PFAS] at military installations and in surrounding
communities, particularly in areas where PFAS persists in
groundwater aquifers, which are crucial sources of drinking
water. Therefore, the Committee recommends an additional
$129,618,000 over the fiscal year 2025 President's budget
request of $853,226,000 in the operation and maintenance,
environmental restoration, and research and development
accounts for the Department of Defense and the military
services to remediate drinking water contaminated by PFAS and
for other related activities. The Committee directs the Service
Secretaries to provide a spend plan to the Committees on
Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate
for these additional funds not later than 90 days after
enactment of this act. The Committee further directs the
Secretary of Defense and the Service Secretaries to include
separate budget justification materials on PFAS remediation and
aqueous film forming removal and disposal activities to the
congressional defense committees not later than 30 days after
the fiscal year 2026 President's budget request is delivered to
Congress that includes an updated assessment of the entire
funding requirement for those known costs.
In addition, the Committee is encouraged by the Department
of Defense's recent efforts to collaborate with communities
impacted by PFAS, and acknowledges the emergence of
collaborative regional approaches to address this issue. The
Committee commends the Department of Defense for collaborating
with localities, where appropriate, on municipal drinking water
projects in PFAS-impacted areas around installations. Further,
the Committee notes the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's
first-ever national drinking water standard for PFAS. The
Committee urges the Department of Defense to sustain its
engagement with PFAS-affected communities and to collaborate
directly with localities to develop prompt and potentially
innovative solutions to mitigate the impact of PFAS
contamination on drinking water.
Suicide Prevention and Response
The Committee recommendation fully funds the fiscal year
2025 President's budget request of $261,200,000 for suicide
prevention and response, which supports continued
implementation of the recommendations of the Suicide Prevention
and Response Independent Review Committee [SPRIRC]. Further,
the Committee provides an additional $2,000,000 for suicide
prevention research focusing on rural, remote, isolated
locations outside the continental United States, and designates
suicide prevention as a research area within the
Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs' Peer-
Reviewed Medical Research Program. The Committee directs the
Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional
defense committees not later than 60 days after enactment of
this act providing an update on the implementation of the
SPRIRC's recommendations.
Investigation Into the Suspected Suicide of SFC Robert R. Card II
The Committee directs the Secretary of the Army, in
coordination with the Commanding General, United States Army
Reserve Command, and the Director of the Defense Health Agency,
to provide a briefing to the Committees on Appropriations of
the House of Representatives and the Senate not later than 90
days after enactment of this act, and quarterly thereafter, on
the implementation of the recommendations provided pursuant to
the Army Regulation 15-6 Investigation into the Suspected
Suicide of SFC Robert R. Card II and the Army Inspector
General's subsequent independent review.
Budget Justification Materials
The Committee notes that the fiscal year 2025 President's
budget request included both baseline and contingency
operations funding within the baseline budget request. The
Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller)
and the Assistant Secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force
(Financial Management and Comptroller) to continue to account
for both baseline and contingency operations funding in the
fiscal year 2026 President's budget request exhibits for all
appropriations.
Further, the Committee commends the Department for the
improvements in the budget materials made over the past several
years, particularly in the case of cross-cutting issues that
impact multiple appropriations and line items. The Committee is
concerned, however, that some exhibits lacked information by
fiscal year to fully analyze the Department's budget request.
To better inform the congressional review of future budget
requests, the Committee directs that prior year, current year,
and budget year data be included in the following justification
materials: the Defense Force Structure Changes exhibit (this
shall continue to include funding levels for each fiscal year
in the Future Years Defense Program as well); the European
Deterrence Initiative exhibit; and the Pacific Deterrence
Initiative exhibit.
Complete and Timely Financial Reporting
As specified in the Joint Explanatory Statement
accompanying the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2023
(Public Law 117-328), the Undersecretary of Defense
(Comptroller) is directed to continue to provide the
congressional defense committees comprehensive obligation and
execution data, including expenditure data for funds with a
tenure longer than 1 year.
Appropriations for Department of Defense-Identified Unfunded
Requirements
In accordance with Title 10, United States Code, Section
222(a) the military services and combatant commands submitted
to the congressional defense appropriations committees unfunded
mission requirements in excess of $22,600,000,000 with
submission of the fiscal year 2025 President's budget request.
As in previous years, the Committee has reviewed these
requests, their underlying requirements, costs, and schedules,
and recommends additional appropriations in fiscal year 2025 to
address these shortfalls, as identified in the tables of
Committee Recommended Adjustments in this report.
The Committee reiterates direction included in the Joint
Explanatory Statement accompanying the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2024, and directs that any submission of
unfunded requirements by the military services, defense
agencies, and combatant commands with the fiscal year 2026
President's budget request be accompanied by updated
requirements and programmatic and execution plans for unfunded
requirements that received appropriations in fiscal years 2024
and 2025. Further, the Committee directs the Assistant
Secretaries (Financial Management and Comptroller) for the Air
Force, Navy, and Army to incorporate in the congressional
budget brief templates distinct programmatic and execution data
for appropriations provided in the previous three fiscal years
for unfunded requirements pertaining to the program/effort.
Department of the Air Force Budgeting Practices
The Secretary of the Air Force has publicly cited current
and projected out-year budget limitations as a barrier to Air
Force adoption of critical future technologies. The Committee
has recommended substantial additional funding to address these
limitations and is aware of the many modernization demands
facing the Air Force, to include the Sentinel program, the B-21
Raider, and the Next Generation Air Dominance Family of Systems
portfolio. The Committee finds that the Air Force has not
optimized its processes for allocating resources, resulting in
the submission of budget requests with billions of dollars in
unexecutable and unjustified funds. For example, the
Committee's recommendation includes more than $1,700,000,000 in
reductions to the ``Aircraft Procurement, Air Force''
appropriation and $1,400,000,000 in reductions to the
``Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force''
appropriation. In total, these reductions represent significant
buying power that could have been aligned in support of other
Air Force priorities.
Based on the Committee's review of budget justification
documents and engagements with acquisition officials, it is
apparent that the Air Force lacks mechanisms to update its
budget requests in a timely fashion based on fact-of-life
changes within its programs' acquisition lifecycles; robust
processes to link budget requests to overall strategy; and
adequate quality controls to ensure requests are accurate,
current, and well justified. As noted in the Joint Explanatory
Statement accompanying the Department of Defense Appropriations
Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-47), over fiscal year 2023 and 2024,
the Department of the Air Force requested more than
$6,000,000,000 in technical adjustments to the President's
budget request, and for fiscal year 2025 the Air Force has
requested nearly $620,000,000 in such adjustments. In contrast,
the Committee finds that other military services have developed
internal processes to iteratively optimize their budget
requests prior to final submission of the President's budget
request, resulting in the submission of a more executable
request.
The Committee notes that Air Force program officials often
comment that their budget allocation is set the summer prior to
the submission of the President's budget request in order to
meet the Department of Defense's fall review process.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air
Force, in conjunction with the Under Secretary of Defense
(Comptroller) to submit a report to the congressional defense
committees, not later than 60 days after the enactment of this
act, outlining proposed process improvements to enhance the
quality of the Department of the Air Force's budget submission
beginning with the fiscal year 2027 budget request.
Polar Airlift Aircraft
The Committee notes the importance of polar tactical
airlift capabilities for Arctic and Antarctic operations.
Further, the Committee notes that the study conducted by the
Secretary of the Air Force in coordination with the Commander,
U.S. Northern Command, and Director, Air National Guard, titled
``Fiscal Year 2023 LC-130 Report,'' identifies improvements
made in recent years to the LC-130H fleet currently conducting
this mission. The study also notes that continual modernization
investments and performance enhancements will ensure the
relevance and viability of this aircraft and its future
mission. However, the Committee understands that this report
may not fully take into account the operational activity of
these aircraft.
Congress included additional funds in the Department of
Defense Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-47) in the
amount of $5,000,000 for non-recurring engineering [NRE] for
polar airlift aircraft. To ensure these efforts are fully
funded, the Committee recommends an additional $29,000,000 in
fiscal year 2025 only for the purpose of performing NRE efforts
in support of ski engineering and modification kits for the LC-
130J aircraft. Additionally, to accelerate the recapitalization
of the aging LC-130H fleet, the Committee recommends an
additional $200,000,000 for procurement of an initial LC-130J
aircraft and components. The Assistant Secretary of the Air
Force (Acquisition, Technology and Logistics) is directed to
provide to the congressional defense committees, not later than
90 days after enactment of this act, a spend plan for the
additional resources.
Budget or Appropriations Liaison Support to the Senate Defense
Appropriations Subcommittee
The Committee again retains a provision in title II of this
act from previous years that prohibits the use of funds in this
act to plan or implement the consolidation of a budget or
appropriations liaison office of the Office of the Secretary of
Defense, the office of the Secretary of a military department,
or the Service headquarters of one of the Armed Forces into a
legislative affairs or legislative liaison office. The Senate
Defense Appropriations Subcommittee relies heavily on these
offices to conduct its oversight responsibilities and make
funding recommendations for the Department of Defense.
The Committee notes that while the separate offices of
legislative affairs within the Office of the Secretary of
Defense and the military departments offer assistance to the
authorizing committees and individual members of the Congress,
such assistance is provided on a parallel and separate track
from the assistance provided to this Committee and its members
by the budget or appropriations liaison office of the Office of
the Secretary of Defense, the office of the Secretary of a
military department, or the Service headquarters of one of the
Armed Forces. As the offices of legislative affairs do not
possess the expertise and direct relationship to the Financial
Management and Comptroller organizations, which are essential
to the effective communication between the Department and the
Committees on Appropriations, it is critical that the budget or
appropriations liaison offices remain independent from the
legislative liaison offices, and retain the authority to
respond directly and promptly with the information required by
the Committee and its members.
In addition, the Committee is concerned by the apparent
increasing establishment of positions within the Department of
Defense for additional congressional advisors that supplant the
budget or appropriations liaison offices. The Committee is
concerned that this negatively impacts the ability of these
liaison offices to exercise their responsibility towards the
Committee.
Confucius Institutes
The Committee notes that the Secretary of Defense has not
yet provided the report required under this heading in the
explanatory statement accompanying Public Law 118-47, which was
due to the congressional defense committees not later than June
21, 2024. Accordingly, the Committee directs that, of the funds
appropriated by this act under the heading ``Operation and
Maintenance, Defense-Wide'', $1,000,000 of the recommended
funding for the Undersecretary of Defense (Research and
Engineering) may not be obligated until the Secretary of
Defense provides the required report to the congressional
defense committees.
Aqueous Film Forming Foam Destruction
The Committee is aware that the Department of Defense plans
to update its guidance for implementing the Environmental
Protection Agency's Interim Guidance on the destruction and
disposal of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances [PFAS] and
materials containing PFAS. The Committee directs the Secretary
of Defense to coordinate with the Administrator of the
Environmental Protection Agency to ensure that the guidance
facilitates use of emerging technologies, as appropriate, such
as supercritical water oxidation that destroy PFAS without the
release of harmful byproducts. The Committee notes its
historical strong support for aqueous film forming foam [AFFF]
removal and directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a
report to the congressional defense committees by October 30,
2024 on the impact of the proposed updated guidance of ongoing
efforts for AFFF removal.
Lifesaving Safety Stations
The Committee is aware of the General Services
Administration's Bulletin FMR C-2024-01, ``Safety Station
Program Guidelines in Federal Facilities.'' The Committee
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide the congressional
defense committees with a briefing, not later than 60 days
after enactment of this act, on the Department of Defense's
progress implementing these guidelines to establish automated
external defibrillator, opioid reversal agents, and hemorrhagic
control programs.
Reporting Requirement for Unit Reallocation Considerations
The Committee recognizes that the Service Secretaries and
Chief of the National Guard Bureau continue to seek
opportunities to divest missions and units that lack
requirements or are excess to capacity. The Committee notes
that some of these units may be available for reallocation
instead of full divestment, particularly within the National
Guard. The Committee directs the Chief of the National Guard
Bureau to provide a report to the congressional defense
committees, not less than 90 days after the enactment of this
act, detailing the factors taken into consideration when
determining the reallocation of units identified for
divestment. The Chief of the National Guard Bureau is
encouraged to include operational tempo of a State's National
Guard as a metric for determining if reallocation of units to
that state is needed to meet state and National missions.
Supporting the U.S.-Philippines Alliance
The Committee reaffirms the strong alliance between the
United States and the Philippines during a time of increasing
aggression by the People's Republic of China in the South China
Sea and in the Philippines' exclusive economic zone. The
Committee commends recent actions taken by the Department of
Defense to further enhance and support deterrence efforts by
the Philippines and recognizes the importance of additional
infrastructure investments that are necessary to support the
movement and operation of the military forces of the
Philippines and United States in the event of a conflict.
Accordingly, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to
provide a report to the congressional defense committees, not
later than 180 days after the enactment of this act, detailing
the funding required to enhance and harden identified mission
critical military infrastructure in the Philippines.
Enhanced Oversight of Certain Contracts and Grants
The Committee is concerned about research activities funded
by the Department of Defense [DOD] that could benefit Chinese
defense institutions. The Committee notes that the Department
of Defense Inspector General [DODIG] and the Comptroller
General of the United States have identified shortcomings in
U.S. government systems used to track contracts and grants that
inhibit the oversight of the Congress, DODIG, and the
Government Accountability Office into research activities

Procurement of Seafood Products Made With Forced Labor
The Committee directs the Inspector General of the
Department of Defense to submit a report to the congressional
defense committees, no later than 180 days after enactment of
this act, assessing the extent to which the Department has
policies and procedures in place to ensure that the food the
Department procures does not include seafood prohibited under
the Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act (Public Law 117-78) and
section 321 of the Countering America's Adversaries Through
Sanctions Act (Public Law 115-44).

Reprogramming Guidance for Military Personnel Accounts
The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit
the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414) for each of the
fiscal year 2025 appropriation accounts not later than 60 days
after the enactment of this act. The Secretary of Defense is
prohibited from executing any reprogramming or transfer of
funds for any purpose other than originally appropriated until
the aforementioned report is submitted to the congressional
defense committees. The Committee directs the Secretary of
Defense to use the normal prior approval reprogramming
procedures to transfer funds in the services' military
personnel accounts between M-1 budget activities, or between
subactivities in the case of the reserve component, in excess
of $15,000,000.
Military Personnel Special Interest Items
Items for which additional funds have been provided or have
been specifically reduced as shown in the project level tables
or in paragraphs using the phrase ``only for'' or ``only to''
in this report are congressional special interest items for the
purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414). Each of
these items must be carried on the DD Form 1414 at the stated
amount as specifically addressed in the Committee report. Below
threshold reprogrammings may not be used to either restore or
reduce funding from congressional special interest items as
identified on the DD Form 1414.
Military Personnel Overview
Uniformed Members of the Armed Forces.--The Committee
recognizes the many sacrifices made by servicemembers in
defending our Nation at home and abroad, as well as those made
by their military families. In further recognition and support
to servicemembers and their families, the Committee's
recommendation fully funds the 4.5 percent military pay raise
as requested in the fiscal year 2025 President's budget
request. The Committee recommendation also fully funds basic
allowance for subsistence, basic allowance for housing, and
basic needs allowance. Finally, the Committee recommendation
fully funds the operation, renovation, and repair of child
development centers and supports full-day pre-kindergarten
requested in the fiscal year 2025 President's budget request to
expand access to child care for members of the armed forces.
The Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense
(Comptroller) to notify the Committees on Appropriations of the
House of Representatives and Senate if additional funding is
required for these efforts based on projected shortfalls.
Junior Enlisted Pay.--The Committee recommendation includes
$148,000,000 to implement the junior enlisted pay increase in
S. 4638, the National Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year
2025, as reported, that provides a 5.5 percent pay raise for
enlisted personnel in the rank of E1 through E3. This is a 1
percent increase over the fiscal year 2025 President's budget
request. The Committee notes that while retention goals for
servicemembers are largely being met, persistent recruiting
challenges continue to affect the military services' end
strengths. Accordingly, the additional recommended funding is
intended to support the military services in their effort to
enlist high-quality recruits. Further, the Committee directs
the Secretary of Defense to brief the Committees on
Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate
on the recommendations of the 14th Quadrennial Review of
Military Compensation not later than 30 days after the final
report is complete.
Basic Needs Allowance.--The Committee recommends full
funding of the fiscal year 2025 President's budget request for
the basic needs allowance [BNA]. However, the Committee notes
that this level of funding may be above amounts required to
meet the needs of eligible servicemembers and their families.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in
coordination with the Service Secretaries, to use any excess
funding toward other incentives for recruiting and retention
including those recommended by the 14th Quadrennial Review of
Military Compensation. The Committee further directs the
Service Secretaries to provide a report to the congressional
defense committees, not later than 60 days after enactment of
this act, on the execution of funding for BNA and a detailed
spend plan for any excess funding. The Committee also directs
the Assistant Secretaries (Financial Management and
Comptroller) for the Army, Navy and Air Force to provide
execution data on BNA in its quarterly briefings to the
Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives
and the Senate.
Strength Reporting.--The Committee directs the Service
Secretaries to provide monthly strength reports for all
components to the congressional defense committees beginning
not later than 30 days after enactment of this act. The first
report shall provide actual baseline end strength for officer,
enlisted, and cadet personnel, and the total component. The
second report shall provide the end of year projection for
average strength for officer, enlisted, and cadet personnel
using the formula in the Department of Defense Financial
Management Regulation Volume 2A, Chapter Two. For the active
components, this report shall break out average strength data
by base and direct war and enduring costs, and differentiate
between the active and reserve components. It should also
include the actuals and projections compared to the fiscal year
2025 budget request.
Reserve Component Budget Reporting.--The Committee
continues its requirement for the Department of Defense to
provide a semi-annual detailed report to the congressional
defense committees showing transfers between subactivities
within the military personnel appropriation. Reports shall be
submitted not later than 30 days following the end of the
second quarter and 30 days following the end of the fiscal
year.
Space Force Personnel Management.--The Committee directs
the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Financial Management
and Comptroller) to provide quarterly reports to the
congressional defense committees on actions taken to implement
title 17 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2024 (Public Law 118-31) and section 515 of S. 4638, the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025, if
enacted. Further, should a realignment of funds be required to
implement these authorities, the Committee directs the Under
Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) to use normal prior approval
reprogramming procedures in accordance with section 8005.
In addition, the Committee notes that the Assistant
Secretary of the Air Force (Financial Management and
Comptroller) continues to manually track expenditures for the
Space Force's military personnel appropriation because the
Defense Joint Military Pay System does not have a service code
for the Space Force. As a result, a line of accounting
reclassification is required to move expenditures from the Air
Force active component military personnel appropriation account
to the Space Force military personnel appropriation account
until the new Air Force Integrated Personnel and Pay System
[AFIPPS] is fully deployed in January 2026. The Committee is
concerned that this manual financial accounting process will
inevitably lead to human error as the end strength of the Space
Force continues to grow and Airmen from the Department of the
Air Force reserve components may be transferred to the Space
Force. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the
Air Force to provide the congressional defense committees
quarterly reports on the progress of AFIPPS implementation and
steps taken to safeguard the financial accounting of the Space
Force military personnel appropriation.
Air National Guard Unit Leveling Initiative.--The Committee
is aware of force structure changes planned by the Director of
the Air National Guard to address an imbalance of full-time
Active Guard and Reserve [AGR] personnel across like units to
ensure that standardized force posture exists to meet readiness
requirements more equitably. The Committee notes concerns
raised by some States that the proposed changes may be harmful
to the readiness of certain units with missions such as search
and rescue, aerial refueling, and air alert and air defense
missions under U.S. Northern Command. The Committee is
appreciative of the engagement by the Air National Guard with
Congress and the States on this proposal. The Committee further
supports ongoing efforts by the Air National Guard to work with
States to address their concerns.
The Committee notes that the fiscal year 2025 President's
budget request includes an increase of 403 AGR personnel in the
Air National Guard above the level authorized in fiscal year
2024. The Committee recommends an increase of $27,600,000 over
the fiscal year 2025 President's budget request to implement
the additional increase of 246 AGR Air National Guard personnel
authorized in S. 4638, the National Defense Authorization Act
for Fiscal Year 2025, as reported by the Senate Armed Services
Committee.
Further, the Committee is aware of section 516 of S. 4638,
as reported, and directs the Chief of the National Guard Bureau
to provide the Committees on Appropriations of the House of
Representatives and the Senate a copy of the report required by
this section, if enacted. The Committee further directs the
Secretary of the Air Force, in consultation with the Chief of
the National Guard Bureau, to submit a briefing to the
Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives
and the Senate not later than January 1, 2025 that includes
detailed data on location and type of unit positions being
adjusted, and how the Air National Guard plans to address
concerns raised by States to these plans, together with an
estimated cost of full implementation.
Advanced Trauma and Public Health Direct Training Services
for the National Guard.--The Committee directs the Chief of the
National Guard Bureau to continue state-of-the-art trauma,
critical care, behavioral health, public health, and other
ancillary direct medical training utilizing academic medical
centers. These disciplines for Air National Guard and Army
National Guard medical and non-medical personnel, and State
Partnership Program/Global Health Engagement international
partners are intended to minimize civilian-military and
international coalition medical operational gaps in the event
of a catastrophic incident. Further, these preparedness
programs shall be delivered through direct training services,
to include advanced trauma, public health, and combat lifesaver
curriculums focusing on critical life-saving procedures,
epidemiology of public health diseases, prevention and
treatment, mass casualty triage, and psychological health.
Mobile Armed Forces Advanced Trauma Training.--The
Committee commends the National Guard Bureau--Joint Surgeon's
Office [NGB-JSG] for facilitating state-of-the-art trauma
training for medical military servicemembers to maintain their
trauma care readiness. The Committee further notes the efforts
by the NGB-JSG in creating a mobile training model to expand
access for personnel required to maintain lifesaving training
certifications. The Committee is aware that the National Guard
Bureau may soon be reducing intervals between training which
would increase the amount of personnel that require
certifications. Therefore, the Committee encourages the
National Guard Bureau to designate this as a program of record
and appropriately budget internally to meet the additional
requirements to provide lifesaving trauma training.
Military Personnel, Army
Budget estimate, 2025................................... $50,679,897,000
Committee recommendation................................ 50,702,367,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$50,702,367,000, of which $135,000,000 is designated as being

requests.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE SPECIAL INTEREST ITEMS
Items for which additional funds have been provided or have
been specifically reduced as shown in the project level tables
or in paragraphs using the phrase ``only for'' or ``only to''
in the Committee report are congressional special interest
items for the purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form
1414). Each of these items must be carried on the DD Form 1414
at the stated amount as specifically addressed in the Committee
report. Below threshold reprogrammings may not be used to
either restore or reduce funding from congressional special
interest items as identified on the DD Form 1414.
OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW
Civilian Workforce.--The Committee expects the Department
of Defense to maintain a stable, effective, and right-sized
civilian cadre. The Committee further expects the hiring
process to be responsive and efficient in order to build the
workforce needed to achieve its mission and strategic goals.
The Committee recognizes the critical role that the civilian
workforce plays every day in ensuring the mission success of
the Armed Forces.
Child Development Center Abuse Investigation.--The
Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to initiate an
independent review of the Department of Defense's efforts to
respond to and report child abuse at Child Development Centers
[CDC] not later than 60 days after enactment of this act. The
Committee further directs that this review be conducted by an
entity independent of the Department of Defense. This review
shall evaluate how the Department of Defense: (1) takes
proactive measures and accountability while promoting
transparency; (2) administers victim support, promotes
awareness, and identifies abuse; (3) communicates to families;
and (4) manages investigations. This review shall also identify
and evaluate completed and ongoing reforms undertaken by the
Department of Defense to improve these areas of effort and make
recommendations for additional reforms that should be
implemented to close remaining gaps. A report on the
independent review's findings and recommendations shall be
provided to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of
Representatives and the Senate not later than 210 days of the
date the review commences. In addition, the Committee directs
the Department of Defense Inspector General to conduct an
investigation into referred reports of child abuse at the Ford
Island Child Development Center near Joint Base Pearl Harbor-
Hickam and brief the Committees on Appropriations of the House
of Representatives and the Senate of its findings.
Deployable Expeditionary Fuel System.--The Committee
recognizes the dynamic requirements associated with fuel
distribution in contested environments, particularly in the
Indo-Pacific region. Therefore, the Committee encourages the
Service Secretaries to seek solutions that are flexible,
scalable, and modular, such as a deployable expeditionary fuel
system. Key innovative and cost-effective approaches may
include elements such as mobile infrastructure for storing,
distributing, and dispensing fuel in the field; fuel quantity,
quality, and safety monitoring; and on-system repair and
maintenance capability.
United States-Japan Alliance and Exercises in the Indo-
Pacific Theater.--The Committee reaffirms that the United
States-Japan alliance has served as a cornerstone of peace,
security, and prosperity in the Indo-Pacific for over six
decades. The Committee believes that military exercises in the
Indo-Pacific are key to advancing bilateral goals, and the
Committee notes that concrete metrics are important for both
Congress and the Department of Defense in making informed
policy decisions.
Accordingly, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense
to provide a report to the congressional defense committees,
not later than 90 days after the enactment of this act,
detailing how exercises in the Indo-Pacific theater that
utilize Joint Exercise Life Cycle [JELC] methodology and
include participation of Japanese Self Defense Forces [JSDF]:
(1) promote the modernization of the U.S.-Japan alliance,
including enhanced technological capabilities to increase
deterrence, (2) expand U.S.-Japan alliance partnerships such as
increasing multilateral training and exercises with Australia,
South Korea, and other security partners to enhance
interoperability, and (3) optimize U.S.-Japan alliance posture
by supporting improved operational concepts and enhanced
capabilities to address security challenges in the region,
including the defense of the Southwestern islands of Japan. The
report shall further detail how the JELC exercises that include
the JSDF adhere to goals outlined in the January 11, 2023 Joint
Statement of the U.S.-Japan Security Consultative Committee
(2+2).
Artificial Intelligence for Military Housing Inspections.--
The Committee notes the use of artificial intelligence to
examine aerial imagery of housing and analyze probable weather
events as a potential method to conduct cost-effective and
efficient inspections of military housing conditions. The
Committee encourages the Service Secretaries to explore ways to
improve inspections of their housing portfolios, including by
exploring the feasibility of conducting housing inspections
that utilize aerial imagery and probable weather analysis.
Arctic Consortium Requirements.--The Committee recognizes
that the Arctic region presents geopolitical challenges and
opportunities affecting national security interests and is
supportive of efforts to better understand the emerging needs
for enhanced operations in the Arctic region. The Committee
encourages the Secretary of Defense to seek opportunities to
partner with interagency organizations, the Center for Arctic
Security and Resiliency, and the Joint All Domain Weather
Operations Center, to coordinate Federal agency planning for
Arctic operations.
Addressing Sexual Assault.--The Committee continues to
support the Department of Defense's efforts to eradicate the
crime of sexual assault and implement the recommendations of
the Independent Review Commission on Sexual Assault in the
Military. The Committee recommends $47,000,000 above the budget
request for the Department of Defense to continue the Special
Victims' Counsel Program.
Military Family Life Counseling.--Military servicemembers
continually confront unique family life challenges. Military
and Family Life Counselors [MFLCs] provide critical support for
servicemembers and their families to deal with stressors such
as post-deployment adjustment, conflict resolution and anxiety,
parenting support, marital issues, and dealing with loss. The
Committee encourage the Service Secretaries to prioritize MFLC
hiring initiatives, including those with financial incentives,
to fill vacant positions and retain experienced counselors
across the country.
Environmental Restoration Program Transparency.--The
Committee recommends an increase of $130,680,000 for the
Military Munitions Response Program and per- and
polyfluoroalkyl substances remediation in the environmental
restoration accounts. The Committee directs the Secretary of
Defense and the Service Secretaries to provide a report on
Environmental Restoration Program implementation to the
congressional defense committees not later than 90 days after
enactment of this act. The report shall include an explanation
of the evaluation processes and criteria, and a spend plan for
account activities along with project location, funding
history, and total cost. In addition, the Committee directs the
Secretary of Defense and the Service Secretaries to provide
quarterly budget execution briefings to the Committees on
Appropriations of the House of Representatives and Senate not
later than 45 days after the enactment of this act.

Naval Shipyard Apprentice Program.--The Committee directs
that during fiscal year 2025, the Navy shall induct classes of
no fewer than 100 apprentices, respectively, at each of the
naval shipyards. The Committee further directs the Navy to
include the costs of the fiscal year 2026 class of apprentices
in its budget request.
U.S. Coast Guard.--The Committee is aware that Department
of Defense [DoD] regulations currently restrict DoD mission
appropriated funded activities from offering reimbursable rates
to non-DoD agencies. This restriction forces the Navy to charge
the U.S. Coast Guard fully burdened rates for drydocking
services at Navy shipyards rather than reimbursable rates.
Therefore, the Committee directs that funds appropriated under
Operation and Maintenance, Navy, may be used to pay overhead
costs incurred by a Naval Shipyard when drydocking U.S. Coast
Guard ships.
Strategic Seaport Program.--The Committee notes that
strategic seaports designated under the Strategic Seaport
Program [SSP] are critical transportation hubs necessary for
United States military readiness and cargo handling capacity.
The Committee directs the Comptroller General of the United
States to provide a report to the House and Senate
Appropriations Committees, not later than 270 days after the
enactment of this act, on the programs and efforts of the
Department of Defense related to the readiness of the ports as
affected by dredging capacity to complete harbor and channel
dredging. This shall include identification of dredging work,
by seaport, required to ensure deep water access; review of
domestic dredging industrial capacity to complete the
identified dredging; assessment of time required to complete
outstanding dredging work in SSP ports; and what Federal
policies, including contracting policies, can be implemented to
support domestic manufacturers of critical components used in
the manufacture of domestic dredger vessels. The report shall
be completed in consultation with the National Port Readiness
Network, the domestic dredging industry, and domestic critical
component manufacturers. For purposes of this paragraph
critical components shall include cranes, spring couplings,
torque limiters, diesel engine clutches, clutch couplings, wet
brakes, and combination gearbox, and such other items as
determined by the agency.
Advanced Foam Engine Performance and Restoration Program.--
Advanced nucleated foam engine restoration technology continues
to demonstrate significant benefits over legacy water and
detergent engine wash protocols, improving the long-term
readiness, efficiency, and sustainability of critical military
aircraft engines, while reducing fuel consumption and
emissions. The Committee encourages broader use of nucleated
foam engine wash testing across Naval aviation platforms.
Emerging Technology to Improve Ship Maintenance.--The
Committee notes that new technology presents opportunities to
improve ship maintenance efforts. Robotic data collection and
digital twins have a proven track record in industry and at
multiple regional maintenance centers. The use of small drones
may support preventative maintenance efforts through timely
inspections while underway. The Committee encourages the
Secretary of the Navy to expand the use of emerging technology
such as small drones, robots, and digital twins to perform
preventative maintenance, replace manual inspections, and
reduce repair times.
Red Hill Ecosystem Monitoring.--The Committee recognizes
that the ecosystem in and around the Red Hill Bulk Fuel Storage
Facility must remain free from any fuel contaminants.
Therefore, the Secretary of the Navy is encouraged to
prioritize monitoring the Halawa Stream ecosystem, nearby
surface water of all types, and the physical habitat of the
estuaries of Pearl Harbor, Mamala Bay, and the marine
environment along the nearby ocean shore.
Advanced Polymer Coating and Paint for Ships.--The
Committee notes that maintaining the exterior of paint is vital
to the readiness of the US. Naval Fleet. The Committee
encourages the Secretary of the Navy to look into new and
emerging paint and polymer coatings that can extend the time
between when ships need to be repainted while being lighter,
anticorrosive, flexible, self-leveling, and can be applied
directly to rust.
Multi-Mission Dry Dock.--The Shipyard Infrastructure and
Optimization Program [SIOP] focuses on the modernization and
optimization of the Navy's four public shipyards. Near-term
SIOP investments are required to recapitalize facilities and
address deficiencies in dry dock capacity. The Committee
directs the Secretary of the Navy to prioritize plans for a
multi-mission dry dock that will be able to serve the Navy's
current and future classes of submarines and aircraft carriers,
including Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carriers, Virginia-
class, and Columbia-class submarines.
Invasive Octocoral Study, Eradication, and Monitoring.--The
Committee notes that the Department of the Navy identified
Unomia stolonifera, an invasive soft coral, at Joint Base Pearl
Harbor-Hickam [JBPHH] in 2021, and further notes the potential
operational impact on the Navy. The Committee encourages the
Secretary of the Navy to support this critical natural
infrastructure from threats such as invasive marine species by
partnering with non-Federal coastal managers. The Committee
further encourages the Secretary of the Navy to use appropriate
operation and maintenance funding and programs such as
Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration Program to
undertake conservation and management of coral reef ecosystems
in proximity to its coastal installations.

Missile Community Cancer Study.--The Committee commends the
Department of the Air Force for its ongoing Missile Community
Cancer Study and emphasizes the importance of prioritizing this
effort. The Committee supports the use of resources to mitigate
chemical hazards identified at Air Force Global Strike Command
duty locations, the establishment of robust processes to
prevent future exposures, and the comprehensive epidemiological
studies to evaluate the health impact on current and former
servicemembers who served at these locations. Therefore, the
Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to expedite
these efforts and maintain a transparent process by providing
regular updates to affected servicemembers, veterans, and their
families. As the Department of the Air Force transitions to the
Sentinel intercontinental ballistic missile system, the
Committee emphasizes the importance of applying lessons learned
from this study to ensure the highest standards of
environmental health and safety in future missile operations.

Defense Language and National Security Education Office.--
The Committee recognizes that, in partnership with universities
across the country, the Defense Language and National Security
Education Office provides critical college accredited training
for servicemembers and government officials in a number of
languages and strategic cultures. The Committee encourages the
Department of Defense to continue placing a high priority on
the Language Training Centers and the Language Flagship
program, with an emphasis on quality of instruction and a
preference for programs that provide college credit. The
Committee designates the funding provided for the Language
Training Centers as a congressional special interest item for
the purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414). The
Committee further directs that the funding profiles for the
Language Training Centers and the Language Flagship Program in
total for the prior year, current year, and budget year be
included in the Performance Criteria section of the Defense
Human Resources Activity OP-5 budget exhibit in future
submissions.
Defense Community Infrastructure Pilot Program.--The
Committee continues to support the Defense Community
Infrastructure Pilot Program [DCIP] and recommends a total of
$110,000,000 for the program for fiscal year 2025. The
Committee further recognizes that nuclear deterrence remains a
top priority of the Department, and the Committee encourages
the Secretary of Defense to provide thorough consideration for
grant applications addressing deficiencies in infrastructure in
communities that support critical national security missions
such as nuclear deterrence. The Committee directs the Secretary
of Defense to provide the deliverable included in section 2851
of S. 4638, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal
Year 2025, as reported, to the Committees on Appropriations of
the House of Representatives and the Senate.
Use of Automated Analytical Processes and Publicly
Available Information by Defense Counterintelligence and
Security Agency.--The Committee believes that the use of
automated analytical processes and publicly available
electronic information [PAEI] can provide value to the
Department of Defense in screening against a wide range of
risks considered by the Defense Counterintelligence and
Security Agency [DCSA]. The Committee encourages the Secretary
of Defense to leverage automated analytical processes and PAEI
to improve accuracy across DCSA's missions.
Post-Separation Programming.--The Committee notes that
servicemembers often face challenges as they transition out of
the military and create a new, productive life as a civilian.
The Committee encourages the Under Secretary of Defense
(Personnel and Readiness) to assess successful existing
programs, such as the Marine for Life program, and develop
guidance for all military services to share best practices for
developing programs that connect separating servicemembers to
networks of veterans and retirees to enable them to remain
connected to the military community, with the goal of promoting
life-long commitment to core values and a beneficial support
network.
Community Noise Mitigation Program.--The Committee
recognizes the importance of supporting communities neighboring
military installations and commends the work of the Office of
Local Defense Community Cooperation [OLDCC]. The Committee
further recognizes the challenges faced by residential
communities bordering aviation units. Therefore, the Committee
encourages the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the
Director of OLDCC, to move expeditiously to award previously
appropriated funds.
Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration
Program.--The Committee recommends an additional $22,652,000
for the Readiness and Environmental Protection Integration
[REPI] program. The Committee designates this funding and the
$177,348,000 included in the fiscal year 2025 President's
budget request for the REPI program as a congressional special
interest item for the purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD
Form 1414). Further, the Committee recognizes the success that
the REPI program has achieved in addressing encroachment and in
maintaining and improving military installation resilience.
However, the Committee is concerned that the military services
have not programmed sufficient operation and maintenance
funding for staff to implement the increased REPI funding
provided by Congress in recent years. Therefore, the Committee
directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the
Service Secretaries, to provide a report to the Committees on
Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate
not later than 180 days after enactment of this act that
includes programmatic funding and full-time employee data
dedicated to the implementation of the REPI program for fiscal
years 2022 through 2025. This report shall also identify
unfunded requirements related to funding and staffing for
future fiscal years.
Ex Gratia Payments.--The Committee recommendation includes
sufficient funding for the Office of the Secretary of Defense
under Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide, for payments
made to redress injury and loss pursuant to section 1213 of the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public
Law 116-92). Furthermore, the Committee directs the Secretary
of Defense to provide a briefing to the congressional defense
committees not later than 60 days after the enactment of this
act regarding the disbursement of such payments.
Security Assistance Reporting Requirements.--The Committee
directs the Secretary of Defense to submit reports, on a
quarterly basis, to the congressional defense committees not
later than 30 days after the last day of each quarter of the
fiscal year that detail commitment, obligation, and expenditure
data by sub-activity group for Operation and Maintenance,
Defense-Wide, Defense Security Cooperation Agency.
Baltic Security Initiative.--The Committee recommends
$225,133,000, an increase of $7,045,000, for the Baltic
Security Initiative in strong support of ongoing security
cooperation with Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania. The Committee
strongly supports the U.S.-Baltic Dialogue, and the Security
Cooperation Roadmaps 2024-2028 as critical partnerships in
support of North Atlantic Treaty Organization [NATO]'s security
and deterrence posture. The Committee encourages the Secretary
of Defense to continue robust security cooperation with the
Baltic States, especially in the areas of integrated air and
missile defense; long-range precision fires; maritime domain
awareness; cyber, irregular warfare; land forces development;
command, control, communications, computers, intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance; and infrastructure
development. Finally, the Committee directs the Secretary of
Defense to brief the Committees on Appropriations of the House
of Representatives and the Senate not later than 90 days after
the enactment of this act on updates to the Baltic Security
Initiative's multi-year strategy and spend plan in light of
continued Russian aggression in Europe.
Defense Security Cooperation Agency Programs.--The
Committee is concerned by the delays in the execution of
International Security Cooperation Programs [ISCP] within the
2-year period of availability of appropriations. The Committee
notes that the Defense Security Cooperation Agency [DSCA] has
the statutory authority to build the capacity of foreign forces
pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 333, 332, and 1263, and that these
activities do not represent new projects or activities in the
budget year. Further, the Committee notes that the annual
appropriation bill requires notification, but not prior
approval, for its security cooperation activities. Therefore,
the Committee directs the Director, DSCA to efficiently execute
security cooperation programs by using the entire period of
availability of funding to the greatest extent possible.
The Committee is encouraged by the Department's
establishment and use of regional centers for security studies
to further outreach and provide for more focused research to
help promote global security cooperation efforts to include the
Ted Stevens Center for Arctic Security Studies and the Daniel
K. Inouye Asia-Pacific Center for Security Studies. Therefore,
the Committee recommends an additional $4,500,000 for Regional
Centers, and directs the Director, DSCA, within 60 days of
enactment of this act to provide the congressional defense
committees with a briefing on the status of the programs,
objectives, milestones, execution plans, an assessment of
current reimbursement waiver authority, any legislative
proposals under consideration as it pertains to current waiver
authority, and any other quantitative and qualitative data
determined by the Director for each regional center.
The Committee understands the Theater Maintenance
Partnership Initiative [TMPI] is a multi-year holistic approach
to build partner capacity in equipment maintenance, lifecycle
and supply chain management, and provide institutional capacity
building at the strategic level to our allied and partner
nations. Further, the Committee notes that this has been
identified as a critical requirement for United States Southern
Command [SOUTHCOM]. Therefore, the Committee directs the
Director, Defense Security Cooperation Agency to provide a
report to the congressional defense committees not later than
60 days after enactment of this act that details the
Department's resourcing strategy for TMPI centers of excellence
in SOUTHCOM's area of responsibility.
Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response.--The Committee's
recommendation fully funds the fiscal year 2025 President's
budget request for civilian harm mitigation and response.
Further, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to
brief the congressional defense committees not later than 90
days after enactment of this act on the status of Department's
Civilian Harm Mitigation and Response Action Plan [CHMR-AP]
implementation, including the Steering Committee; the Civilian
Protection Center of Excellence; staffing by military service
and combatant command; resources across the Future Years
Defense Program; and forthcoming CHMR training, education,
technology, and advising to support the CHMR-AP. Finally, the
Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit to the
congressional defense committees, concurrent with the fiscal
year 2026 President's budget request, a report on the CHMR
resources and programs in the Future Years Defense Program.
Advanced Vehicle Forensic Engineering.--In order to
maintain operational superiority, United States Special
Operations Command [USSOCOM] requires rapid and effective
collection and exploitation capabilities to deploy against all
adversaries. Specifically, the Committee believes that USSOCOM
lacks the tools to adequately conduct vehicle forensics in an
age when many vehicles store significant amounts of
geolocation, imagery, and other data. Therefore, the Committee
encourages the Director, Special Operations Forces Acquisition,
Technology, and Logistics to leverage new commercial tools to
update operators' vehicle forensic exploitation kits and invest
in continuous capability improvement.
Counter-ISIS Train and Equip Fund
Budget estimate, 2025................................... $528,699,000

Islamic State of Iraq and Syria Detainees.--The Committee
is concerned about the burden on the Syrian Democratic Forces
[SDF] of holding thousands of Islamic State of Iraq and Syria
[ISIS] detainees and notes that the makeshift detention
facilities are overcrowded and vulnerable to the types of ISIS
attacks that led to the rise of the organization in 2012. The
Committee supports efforts of the Department of Defense and
international partners to fortify and construct detention
facilities to alleviate overcrowding, enhance humane detention,
and ensure the security of dangerous detainees. The Committee
directs the Secretary of Defense to notify the congressional
defense committees not later than 30 days prior to obligation
of funds for any construction activity and prioritizes
detention facilities repair and construction ahead of any other
construction activity. Moreover, the Committee directs the
Secretary of Defense to engage with the SDF on ensuring that
detainees are afforded all protections due under the Geneva
Conventions.

REPROGRAMMING GUIDANCE FOR ACQUISITION ACCOUNTS
The Secretary of Defense is directed to continue to follow
the reprogramming guidance as specified in the report
accompanying the House version of the Department of Defense
appropriations bill for fiscal year 2008 (House Report 110-
279). The dollar threshold for reprogramming funds shall be
$15,000,000 for procurement and research, development, test and
evaluation.
Also, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) is
directed to continue to provide the congressional defense
committees quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD Form 1416 reports
for service and defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of
this act. Reports for titles III and IV shall comply with
guidance specified in the conference report accompanying the
Department of Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2006.
The Department shall continue to follow the limitation that
prior approval reprogrammings are set at either the specified
dollar threshold or 20 percent of the procurement or research,
development, test and evaluation line, whichever is less. These
thresholds are cumulative from the base for reprogramming value
as modified by any adjustments. Therefore, if the combined
value of transfers into or out of a procurement (P-1), or a
research, development, test and evaluation (R-1) line exceeds
the identified threshold, the Secretary of Defense must submit
a prior approval reprogramming to the congressional defense
committees. In addition, guidelines on the application of prior
approval reprogramming procedures for congressional special
interest items are established elsewhere in this explanatory
statement.
Funding Increases
The funding increases outlined in the tables accompanying
each appropriation account shall be provided only for the
specific purposes indicated in the tables of Committee
Recommended Adjustments. The Committee directs that funding
increases shall be competitively awarded, or provided to
programs that have received competitive awards in the past.
PROCUREMENT SPECIAL INTEREST ITEMS
Items for which additional funds have been recommended or
items for which funding is specifically reduced as shown in the
tables detailing Committee recommended adjustments or in
paragraphs using the phrase ``only for'' or ``only to'' are
congressional special interest items for the purpose of the
Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414). Each of these items must
be carried on the DD Form 1414 at the stated amount, as
specifically addressed elsewhere in this report.
PROCUREMENT OVERVIEW
Army Organic Industrial Base.--The Committee directs the
Secretary of the Army to provide 45-day written notification to
the congressional defense committees prior to the Secretary
approving civilian reductions in force that will result in an
employment loss of 50 or more full-time employees at any Army
organic industrial base facility. The notification shall
include the impact that the proposed reduction in force will
have on the ability to maintain the organic industrial base
critical manufacturing capabilities as delineated in the Army
Organic Industrial Base Strategy Report, a detailed accounting
of the costs of implementing the reduction in force, and an
assessment of the cost of, and time necessary, to restore any
lost capability to meet future organic wartime manufacturing
needs.
Budget Line Consolidation.--The Committee continues to
support efforts to improve efficiency in the development and
review of the Department of Defense budget. In Senate Report
118-81, the Committee directed the Secretary of the Army to
develop a proposal to reduce and streamline the number of
individual budget lines in the ``Other Procurement, Army''
appropriations account. Over the course of the past year, the
Committee has worked in partnership with Army financial
management and acquisition officials to identify budget lines
within the ``Other Procurement, Army'' appropriations account
that are superfluous and appropriate for consolidation. The
Committee commends the team of Army officials who have
diligently worked to evaluate opportunities for improvement.
The Committee's recommendation for ``Other Procurement,
Army'' adopts the majority of the Secretary of the Army's
recommendations, reducing 17 budget lines from the
appropriation account. This will provide needed resources while
reducing the need for reprogramming submissions to address
fact-of-life changes that can be addressed in regular course at
the budget line level. The Committee directs the Secretary of
Army to undertake further review to identify additional lines
for potential additional consolidation in conjunction with the
submission of the fiscal year 2026 President's budget request.
Further, the Committee is encouraged by the progress
demonstrated by the Secretary of the Army and believes that all
Military Departments would benefit from a similar review of
certain appropriations accounts. Therefore the Committee
directs the Secretary of the Navy and the Air Force, in
coordination with the Undersecretary of Defense (Comptroller)
and the congressional defense committees, to separately develop
proposals to reduce and streamline the number of individual
budget lines in the ``Other Procurement, Navy'' and the ``Other
Procurement, Air Force'' appropriation accounts prior to
submission of the President's fiscal year 2026 budget request.
This will allow sufficient time for congressional review and
implementation in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act,
2026.
Munitions Production Capacity Investments.--The fiscal year
2025 President's budget request seeks significant funding for
tooling and facilitization at commercially-owned facilities for
the production of munitions. This request comes in addition to
the significant sums provided in prior years through Department
of Defense Appropriations Acts, Supplemental Appropriations
Acts, and replenishment funds. The Committee supports
transitioning from a ``just-in-time'' to a ``just-in-case''
approach to ensure that the defense industrial base has the
ability to produce munitions rapidly, cost effectively, and in
sufficient quantities to meet the total munitions requirements
and surge capacity requirements of the Armed Forces. The
Committee notes the Department of Defense's [DoD]
responsibilities to establish clear, consistent requirements
for both munitions stockpiles and surge capacity, so that the
defense industrial base can plan accordingly. DoD also has the
responsibility to budget for munitions at the appropriate level
in a timely manner so they are available when needed. However,
the Committee also notes the responsibility of the defense
industrial base to maintain and modernize facilities to meet
clear customer demands, recruit and train a skilled workforce,
and manage supply chains at appropriate levels of capacity and
readiness. The Committee is concerned by the inconsistent
balance between government and private investment in these
areas for certain munitions, especially as government-owned
munitions facilities have suffered from long-term under-
investment and require extensive improvements.
The Committee directs the Secretary of the Army, the
Secretary of the Navy, and the Secretary of the Air Force,
beginning with the President's budget request for fiscal year
2026, to include a separate cost element or project code,
within each applicable munition program's justification
materials, for facilitization, including tooling and capacity
expansion at commercial facilities; and to provide the
congressional defense committees with the surge capacity
requirement and expected industry cost-sharing or co-investment
for each such request, as well as the amount of government and
commercial investment in such program's facilities in each of
the previous five fiscal years.
Multi-Year Procurement Contracts for Critical Munitions.--
In the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public
Law 118-47) Congress supported the Department's requests for
multi-year procurement authority for six critical munitions
programs. The Committee continues to closely monitor the
progress of these programs and is concerned by the continuing
delays in awarding and executing these contracts. The Committee
reiterates its expectation that these procurements will result
in substantial unit cost savings, stability in the supplier
base, industry investment in expanding and upgrading their
facilities, and weapons being delivered at cost and on or ahead
of schedule. Accordingly, the Committee directs the Secretary
of Defense to provide a twice-yearly report on the status of
each such munition multi-year procurement award until all
munitions covered under such award have been delivered, to
include, projected and realized cost savings, the amount and
impact of government and industry investment on capacity and
associated supply chains, and an assessment of the extent to
which such award has generated greater stability in the
associated supply chain.
Counter-Unmanned Aerial Systems.--The Committee recognizes
the urgent need for the military services to field systems that
defend against the growing and constantly evolving threat from
unmanned aerial systems [UAS]. Given the wide variety and
global proliferation of UAS threats, combined with constrained
air defense capacity, the Committee believes that the
Department should field a number of capabilities that can
address the full breadth of evolving threats and take advantage
of multiple innovative approaches. The Committee is concerned
that, through its internal requirements development and budget
review processes, the Army has inadvertently self-imposed
restrictions on the counter-UAS systems it can procure.
Therefore, to provide the Army with greater flexibility, the
Committee recommends adjustments in ``Other Procurement, Army''
and ``Missile Procurement, Army'', as detailed in the
respective tables of Committee Recommended Adjustments, to
expand the scope of counter-UAS procurement options.
Additionally, to meet the counter-UAS need and address the
Army's top unfunded priority, the Committee recommends
$184,837,000 above the President's budget request for
additional interceptors and launchers.
The Committee's recommendations enable the Army to utilize
funds requested in these appropriation accounts for the most
appropriate system to meet current and emerging UAS threats.
The Committee urges the Assistant Secretary of the Army
(Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology) and the Chief of Staff
of the Army to use this flexibility to ensure the Army rapidly
fields a range of the most capable systems, incorporates
lessons learned from other military services and combatant
commands using counter-UAS systems; and only undertakes the
time and resource intensive research and development where
currently available systems clearly cannot meet operational
needs. The Committee directs that, not later than 30 days after
the enactment of this act, the Assistant Secretary of the Army
(Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology) shall brief the
congressional defense committees on the Army's plan to address
the issues the Committee has identified and execute the funding
the Committee has recommended for counter-UAS capabilities.
V-22 Comprehensive Review.--First reaching initial
operating capability in 2007, 431 V-22 Osprey tiltrotor
aircraft have been delivered to the Navy, Marine Corps and Air
Force Special Operations Command [AFSOC]. The Committee
recognizes that the tiltrotor aircraft was a technological leap
in aviation that has provided an invaluable asset to operating
forces that can employ a vertical/short take-off and landing
system with ranges and speeds that far exceed traditional rotor
blade aircraft. However, the Committee notes that regrettably
during the life of the program there have been at least 16
class-A mishaps that have resulted in crashes and loss of life.
The fiscal year 2025 President's Budget request includes
$60,175,000 in the Aircraft Procurement, Navy [AP,N] account
for MV-22 and CMV-22 production line shutdown and production
engineering support. The Department of the Navy communicated
that $30,000,000 of these funds are no longer required for
these efforts, and requested that this amount be transferred
within the AP,N account to the V-22 Modifications line for
safety initiatives. The Committee approves this request and has
included the transfer in support of improving the safety of
this aircraft.
The Committee is aware that the Naval Air Systems Command
[NAVAIR] has instituted a comprehensive 12-month review of the
program to identify and implement opportunities to improve
safety, availability and affordability of the system with
corrective actions to be implemented over multiple phases.
Further, the Committee notes that the Army's Future Long
Range Assault Aircraft [FLRAA], a tiltrotor variant, recently
entered the engineering and manufacturing development phase of
the program. The Committee encourages the Army Program
Executive Officer, Aviation to collaborate with the Navy's
Program Executive Officer, Air Anti-Submarine Warfare, Assault
& Special Mission [PEO (A)] on lessons learned for the
development and operation of tiltrotor aircraft to ensure
insights gained across the V-22 program lifecycle can be
applied early to FLRAA detailed design activities as
appropriate.
Finally, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to
provide quarterly updates to the congressional defense
committees on the status of the NAVAIR-led review, as well as a
final report on the findings and implementation plan of all
recommendations, not later than 90-days following the
completion of NAVAIR's comprehensive review.

Army Ammunition Industrial Base.--The Committee supports
establishing a modular artillery production line within the
Army organic industrial base as recommended by the briefing
required by the Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying the
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (Public
Law 118-31), which assessed potential opportunities for organic
industrial base augmentation. The Committee understands that
adding a new production line, based upon designs for the
Universal Artillery Production Line, to the organic industrial
base would provide the Army additional resilience and surge
capacity to meet demand across a range of artillery production,
particularly for metal components. The Committee recommends
$248,000,000, above the President's budget request, in line 36
``Industrial Facilities'' of the ``Procurement of Ammunition,
Army'' account, for this purpose.
120 Millimeter Visual Light Illumination Mortar.--The
Committee recognizes the current need for M930 120 millimeter
visual light illumination mortars due to increased threats.
Further, the Committee recognizes the specialized capability
inherent at the Pine Bluff Arsenal to produce white phosphorus
mortar ammunition. The Committee recommends support of the
fiscal year 2025 President's budget request for continued
production of M930 120 millimeter mortar ammunition.
Nitrocellulose Production.--The Committee notes the
importance of nitrocellulose, nitroglycerin, and acids in the
production of ammunition and the consequent importance for
training and readiness. The Committee directs the Secretary of
the Army to submit to the congressional defense committees a
report describing: military requirements for nitrocellulose for
ammunition production; current production capacity and the
extent to which current capacity meets military requirements;
the health and resiliency of the relevant supply chains; and
any recommendations to improve nitrocellulose, nitroglycerin,
and acid production.
Other Procurement, Army
Budget estimate, 2025................................... $8,616,524,000

for an emergency requirement pursuant to section
251(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
Control Act of 1985. This is $263,527,000 above the budget

MQ-25 Unmanned Carrier Aviation.--The fiscal year 2025
President's budget request includes $501,683,000 in Aircraft
Procurement, Navy [AP,N] for the procurement of three MQ-25
Stingray Unmanned Carrier Aviation aircraft, and associated
support. Additionally, the budget request includes $51,344,000
in AP,N to procure long lead materials for additional aircraft.
Further, the budget request includes $214,919,000 in Research,
Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy [RDT&E,N] to continue
Engineering and Manufacturing Development efforts, testing, and
obsolescence.
At the request of the Department of the Navy, the Committee
coordinated extensively with the program office in fiscal year
2024 to restructure the program following schedule delays to
ensure resources were available to finance a revised
acquisition strategy and address the program's obsolescence
issues. The Committee notes that since then, the program has
delivered one static test article in the second quarter of
fiscal year 2024; however, the program has incurred another 3
month schedule delay from the recent program re-baseline. The
first flight of the aircraft has further been delayed to
approximately February 2026.
The Committee is concerned that the budget request would
procure additional aircraft in fiscal year 2025 prior to the
first flight of the aircraft and before the obsolescence
redesign effort is completed. The Committee believes that such
concurrent procurement would introduce excessive risk into the
program and prevent the incorporation of required changes
discovered through on-going testing into production. Therefore,
the Committee recommends a reduction of AP,N funds by a total
of $451,683,000 for the three production aircraft.
The Committee recognizes that a healthy industrial base is
critical to the success of this program. Therefore, the
Committee recommends $50,000,000 only for the purpose of
supporting the unmanned carrier aviation industrial base. The
Committee also supports the advance procurement request of
$51,344,000 for the long lead material necessary to support
aircraft procurement in fiscal year 2026.
Weapons Procurement, Navy
Budget estimate, 2025................................... $6,600,327,000
Committee recommendation................................ 6,568,402,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$6,568,402,000, of which $50,000,000 is designated as being for
an emergency requirement pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A)(i) of
the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
This is $31,925,000 below the budget estimate.

Weapons Suppliers Stability.--The Committee is encouraged
that the Department of the Navy is engaging in conversations to
purchase components of weapons systems directly from sub-tier
suppliers and believes that such actions will further bolster
the defense industrial base while providing meaningful savings
to taxpayers. The Committee encourages the Secretary of the
Navy to expand such collaboration to improve the industrial
base and capacity of qualified component manufacturers,
including those of solid rocket motors.

45-Day Shipbuilding Review.--The Committee notes the
findings of the Navy's 45-day Shipbuilding Review found
significant delays, cost overruns, and workforce recruitment
and retention challenges in no fewer than eight Navy
shipbuilding programs. These include a 12-16 months delay in
lead boat construction of the COLUMBIA Class Submarine [COL],
24-36 months delay in VIRGINIA Class Submarine [VCS]
construction, 18-26 months delay in delivering the third FORD
Class Aircraft Carrier, and at least 3 years delay in the lead
CONSTELLATION Class Frigate. Therefore, the Committee directs
the Secretary of the Navy to submit, on a quarterly basis after
the enactment of this act, a report to the Committees on
Appropriations of the House of Representatives and Senate for
each ship class identified in the Navy's review which includes
a ship delivery schedule by hull; required workforce by trade
and fiscal year, including associated required recruitment and
retention data by quarter; Navy and local industrial base
investments delineated by fiscal year; an assessment of any at-
risk shipbuilding supplier; and design maturity curves.
Further, the Committee directs the Comptroller General of the
United States to submit a report to the congressional defense
committees not later than 90 days after the enactment of this
act which assesses the root causes of the recent cost increases
and schedule delays in Navy ship, submarine, and aircraft
carrier programs cited in the Navy's review, and makes
recommendations to address those factors.
Submarine Industrial Base.--The Committee recognizes that
strengthening the submarine industrial base [SIB] is essential
to ensuring that new submarines can be constructed at the pace
outlined in the Navy's shipbuilding plan to meet national
security needs. Therefore, the Committee strongly supports the
Navy's efforts to invest in the infrastructure and workforce of
shipbuilders and suppliers. The fiscal year 2025 President's
budget requests funding for one new construction VIRGINIA Class
Submarine [VCS] and increased investment in the SIB in order to
more fully mature SIB capacity and workforce before returning
to a two VCS construction cadence. The Committee understands
that an additional $1,000,000,000 of supplier workload could
further stabilize and improve performance of the industrial
base. Based on extensive dialogue with the Navy, the Committee
understands that the Navy can resource $643,000,000 for this
opportunity from VCS Block IV economic order quantity funding
appropriated in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act,
2024 (Public Law 118-47), VCS SIB construction spares funding
appropriated in the National Security Supplemental
Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-50), and funding the
Committee recommends in this act that was requested in the
fiscal year 2025 President's budget request. The Committee
recommends an additional $357,000,000 in the VCS program line
to further solidify this key supplier capacity in support of a
second VCS shipset of materials, and to stabilize the SIB.
In addition, the Committee recognizes that the opportunity
presented by historic levels of appropriated SIB support can
only achieve this capacity through carefully-targeted
investments and proper stewardship of funds. Therefore, the
Committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report
to the congressional defense committees not later than 90 days
after the enactment of this act, and semi-annually thereafter,
on the Navy's planned oversight approach for overseeing all
phases of the SIB funding cycle, including the identification
of gaps, selection of projects, oversight of funding execution,
and determining return on investment.
The Committee also directs the Comptroller General of the
United States to submit a report to the congressional defense
committees not later than 1 year after the enactment of this
act that assesses the extent to which the Department of
Defense's SIB investment strategy and associated funding will
result in a shipbuilding industrial base capable of achieving
the ``2 + 1'' annual submarine construction rate called for in
the Navy's 30-year shipbuilding plan. This report shall include
an assessment of: (1) how the Departments of Defense and Navy
are assessing the return on investment of SIB funding to
improve submarine construction performance, (2) the extent to
which the Navy intends to utilize such assessments to inform
the selection of future SIB projects, and (3) the extent to
which previously appropriated SIB funding and programmed
funding in future years, in combination with other key factors,
are likely to achieve the SIB capacity and throughput to meet
the Navy's submarine requirements.
Finally, the Committee has received spend plans from the
Navy for SIB funding contained in the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-47) and prior acts, as
well as the National Security Supplemental Appropriations Act,
2024 (Public Law 118-50). The Committee notes that such plans
do not involve the purchase of land or property. The Committee
directs the Secretary of the Navy to brief the congressional
defense committees not less than 45 days prior to obligating
funds that would deviate from those spend plans.
Domestic Source Content for Navy Shipbuilding Critical
Components.--The Committee remains concerned with the fragility
of the domestic shipbuilding supply base and notes the report
on ``Domestic Source Content for Navy Shipbuilding'' submitted
to the congressional defense committees in accordance with
direction accompanying the Department of Defense Appropriations
Act, 2023. Given the long-term impact of shipbuilding programs,
the Committee believes that understanding and managing the
domestic supply base is critical. Therefore the Committee
reiterates direction to the Assistant Secretary of the Navy
(Research, Development and Acquisition) to submit to the
congressional defense committees, concurrent with submission of
the fiscal year 2026 President's budget request, a plan to
incorporate upfront domestic sourcing requirements for key
materials, components and subsystems into current and future
acquisition strategies for shipbuilding programs. Further, the
report shall identify a supply chain strategy that identifies
existing horizontal and vertical gaps and redundancies in the
domestic industrial base to support such acquisition
strategies, and efforts by the Navy to ensure the domestic
industrial base and supply chain can address domestic source
content of Navy shipbuilding requirements. Finally, to the
extent the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research,
Development and Acquisition) plans to prioritize foreign
content over domestic content, the Assistant Secretary is
directed to provide the statutory basis for doing so, including
a detailed risk assessment of such a strategy, and the cost
estimate of growing a commensurate domestic capability. Such
report shall be delivered in unclassified format and may
contain a classified annex.

Sonobuoy Minimum Inventory Requirements.--The Committee
notes the Department of the Navy's increasing utilization of
sonobuoys in recent years to track submarine threats worldwide.
The Committee is concerned that the fiscal year 2025
President's budget request does not adequately fund sonobuoy
procurement based on validated requirements, which may leave
the United States vulnerable to adversaries in the undersea
domain. Accordingly, the Committee directs the Secretary of the
Navy to submit a report to the congressional defense
committees, not later than 90 days after the enactment of this
act, detailing the Navy's strategy to ensure that the inventory
of sonobuoys satisfies the Navy's Total Munitions Requirement.

Amphibious Combat Vehicle.--The Committee understands that
the Marine Corps has identified cost savings within the
Amphibious Combat Vehicle [ACV] Family of Vehicles program of
approximately $100,000,000 between fiscal years 2024 and 2025.
The Committee expects the Commandant of the Marine Corps to
negotiate the best price for the ACV-30mm gun variant and apply
these identified savings to procure additional vehicles in
fiscal year 2025.
Radio Systems.--The Committee is concerned with the Marine
Corps persistent reprioritization of requirements and
continuing changes in acquisition strategies for radio
programs, as exemplified by the Marine Corps' decision in
previous fiscal years to defer the procurement of several radio
systems. Therefore, the Committee directs the Commandant of the
Marine Corps to provide the congressional defense committees
quarterly program execution briefs on the radio system programs
within this appropriation. The Committee further directs the
Commandant of the Marine Corps to provide the congressional
defense committees, not later than 90 days after enactment of
this act, an updated acquisition strategy that includes the
planned resourcing investments for radio systems across the
Future Years Defense Program.

MH-139A.--The Committee believes the Department of the Air
Force's decision to remove procurement funding for MH-139A
helicopters across the Future Years Defense Program will
preclude the recapitalization of critical assets and leave
concerning capability shortfalls at Andrews Air Force Base,
Fairchild Air Force Base, Duke Field, and Maxwell Air Force
Base. Therefore, Committee directs the Secretary of the Air
Force to deliver a report to the congressional defense
committees not later than 60 days after the enactment of this
act which explains how the vertical lift requirements for
distinguished visitor lift, aircrew survival training, flight
test operations, and training will be met in the 2030s absent
continued MH-139A procurement.
Airborne Early Warning and Control Aircraft.--The Committee
continues to strongly support airborne early warning and
control aircraft recapitalization. Congress has been a strong
proponent of the E-7 Wedgetail program, first by establishing
the program as new start following enactment of the Department
of Defense Appropriations Act via approval of a reprogramming
request in fiscal year 2022, and then by accelerating the
program by providing an additional $200,000,000 in both fiscal
years 2023 and 2024. Despite the additional funding provided by
Congress, the program is delayed compared to the original
program schedule. While the E-7 program continues, the
Committee expects the Department of the Air Force to retain
additional E-3 aircraft prior to the delivery of E-7 Wedgetail
aircraft to prevent gaps in airborne warning and control
capabilities relied upon by the Combatant Commands.
Accordingly, the Committee supports section 142 of the National
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024 (Public Law 118-
31) and section 131 of S. 4638, the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025, as reported, which
prohibit the reduction of the E-3 inventory unless specific
conditions are satisfied.
Air Force Tanker Recapitalization.--The Committee notes
that the average age of the current fleet of KC-135 aerial
refueling tankers is nearly 60 years old. The Committee urges
the Air Force to continue to prioritize the recapitalization of
the aging tanker fleet and supports the Air Force plan to
continue to replace up to 15 KC-135s per year with modern
aircraft. However, the Committee is concerned with the lack of
detail on the Air Force's recapitalization plan in future years
to ensure sufficient aerial refueling capabilities to support
operational and contingency requirements. Accordingly, the
Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a
report to the congressional defense committees not later than
120 days from the enactment of this act detailing the long-term
KC-135 recapitalization plan for the active and reserve
components. This report shall include the following: (1) the
procurement and divestment plans or actions the Air Force plans
to implement by fiscal year for the next 20 years, (2) the
actions the Air Force will take to ensure that required
operational readiness rates are maintained during any planned
divestment or recapitalization affecting KC-135 aircraft, and
(3) an analysis of how the procurement and divestment plans or
actions the Air Force plans to implement ensure the
interoperability and operational relevance of the reserve
components in the total force.
Classic Associations.--The Committee notes that there are
six Air National Guard [ANG] units that operate under classic
associations with their active-duty counterparts. While these
ANG units do not own aircraft, they are operationally
integrated into the active unit that maintains operational
control of the mission set. The Committee understands that
informal agreements exist between active and guard units that
provide small numbers of backup aircraft to the Guard units.
The Committee notes that the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-47) directed the
Secretary of the Air Force to pursue a memorandum of agreement
to formally recognize such agreements. The Committee directs
the Secretary of the Air Force to brief the congressional
defense committees on the status of these agreements not later
than 60 days after the enactment of this act.

Space Launch.--Access to space remains a critical national
security priority and concern for the Committee. The Committee
supports the Department's plan for phase three of the National
Security Space Launch [NSSL] program and acknowledges the
recent award of lane one task orders to three vendors. However,
the Committee notes that while the Space Force and the National
Reconnaissance Office both have small launch service contracts
in place, they are rarely used. The Committee further notes
that the Space Force will only launch one payload through its
small launch fiscal year 2024 Orbital Services Program [OSP].
The Committee believes that in a threat environment which
requires tactical responsiveness, small launch providers are
most likely to provide this capability. Therefore, the
Committee recommends the Space Force include a greater
diversity of providers and more competition as phase three of
the NSSL program moves forward. To these ends, the Committee is
also concerned by the Department's decision to request no
funding for the OSP in fiscal year 2025. This program is
critical to having a rapidly responsive launch capability, and
to maintaining a competitive and innovative industrial base.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air
Force, in coordination with the Director of the National
Reconnaissance Office, to submit a report to the congressional
defense committees not later than 90 days after the enactment
of this act. The report shall identify by fiscal year each
launch (including vendor and payload) procured through the OSP,
the NRO's equivalent, or other programs where the payload
requirements could be met by OSP providers. Additionally, the
report shall include a plan to: make effective use of the OSP
and the NRO's equivalent; identify opportunities for small
launch providers through the Future Years Defense Program; and
prioritize robust funding for the program over the Future Years
Defense Program. The report shall be submitted in unclassified
form but may include a classified annex.
Use of National Security Space Launch Program.--The
Committee continues to direct the Secretary of Defense and the
Director of National Intelligence to utilize the Space Force
launch enterprise phase three contract for all National
Security Space Launch [NSSL] class missions unless they certify
to the congressional defense and intelligence committees that
commercial launch or delivery on orbit procurement for a
designated mission is in the national security interest of the
United States government and provide the rationale for such a
determination.
Additionally, the Committee is concerned with the number of
launches that the National Reconnaissance Office awards outside
of the NSSL contract and in violation of previous certification
requirements first mandated in the Joint Explanatory Statement
accompanying the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2021
(Public Law 116-260), and restated in each fiscal year through
the Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying the Department of
Defense Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-47).
Therefore, the Committee directs the Director of the National
Reconnaissance Office to submit a report to the congressional
defense committees and the congressional intelligence
committees, not later than 90 days after enactment of this act,
that identifies each launch by fiscal year that has been
procured outside of the NSSL phase two contract over the life
of the contract, and that are currently planned to be procured
outside of the NSSL phase three contract. The report shall
include each vendor and payload. This report shall be submitted
in unclassified form, but may include a classified annex.

Functional Transfers.--Funding in the Defense Production
Act Purchases [DPA] account has historically been provided
without specific delineation by effort, allowing the Department
to prioritize the most pressing efforts within the year of
execution. This has led to significant funding backlogs and
lack of programmatic predictability for the defense industrial
base. Therefore, the Committee has repeatedly emphasized the
need to accelerate the execution of DPA resources in previous
years and has recommended funding reductions due to large,
unexecuted balances and a contracting backlog of up to 18
months. The Committee notes that in response to these concerns,
the Undersecretary of Defense (Acquisition and Sustainment)
significantly improved these contracting actions and this
account has begun to achieve obligation rates consistent with
Department standards.
However, based on the most recent fiscal year 2024 and 2025
spend plans for DPA, the Committee is concerned that the
Department intends to deviate from its efforts to ensure timely
execution of funds. Coupled with the substantial increases in
DPA appropriations in the past four fiscal years, the Committee
believes that additional transparency and accounting rigor is
warranted in the DPA appropriation account structure.
Therefore, the Committee's recommendation includes a series
of functional transfers to align DPA resources against projects
identified by the Department that are executable in fiscal year
2025. These functional transfers are designated as
``Congressional Special Interest Items'' as defined elsewhere
in this report.
Microelectronics.--The Committee notes that
microelectronics, including printed circuit boards,
semiconductors, switch technology, and critical minerals,
including nuclear grade graphite and gallium, have been
identified as key focus areas for the Defense Production Act to
ensure a strong domestic industrial base. The Secretary of
Defense is encouraged to prioritize Defense Production Act
investments that support domestic production in these key areas
to fill strategic gaps in the supply chain.
Defense Production Act Investments in Munitions and
Critical Materials.--The Committee remains concerned that the
Defense Production Act Purchases account is not being fully
utilized to address clearly identified vulnerabilities within
the U.S. munitions production industrial base, as well as the
sourcing of critical minerals and rare earth elements.
Therefore, the Committee encourages the Department to
prioritize investment in munition production facilities through
the Defense Production Act Purchases account across the Future
Years Defense Program.
Printed Circuit Boards.--The Committee continues to believe
that printed circuit boards [PCBs] are key components of
advanced defense technologies and that a strong domestic
defense industrial base includes the ability to fabricate PCBs.
On March 27, 2023, the President determined that PCBs are
critical technology items essential to national defense and
found that action to expand domestic production capabilities
for PCBs is necessary to avert a critical technology item
shortfall that would severely impair our National defense
capability. The Committee encourages continued investment
across the future years' defense program in this key technology
area.
Tetranitrocarbazole.--Ensuring independence from foreign
supply chains and the integrity of materials supplied to the
American warfighter is a key objective of Defense Production
Act purchases. The Committee understands that the Department of
Defense is dependent upon a single-source foreign supplier for
Tetranitrocarbazole [TNC], which is a critical material.
Therefore, the Committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to
explore the establishment of a reliable domestic source of TNC.
Hypersonic Air Breathing Manufacturing Industrial Base
Expansion.--The Committee continues to support the Department's
use of the authorities provided in Title III of the Defense
Production Act to strengthen domestic industrial base
capabilities essential to national defense. The Committee
further recognizes the important role of the DPA to incentivize
the creation, expansion, and preservation of the defense
industrial base. The Committee notes that investments in the
industrial base supply chain supporting air breathing
hypersonic missile structures have the potential to drive
efficiencies across multiple defense programs in alignment with
the Department's recently published National Defense Industrial
Strategy. The Committee encourages such investments across the
future years' defense program to leverage design practices,
assembly processes, and automated technologies developed for
commercial aerostructures in support of these defense programs.
National Guard and Reserve Equipment
Budget estimate, 2025...................................................
Committee recommendation................................ $1,000,000,000
The Committee recommends an appropriation of
$1,000,000,000, of which $650,000,000 is designated as being
for an emergency requirement pursuant to section
251(b)(2)(A)(i) of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit
Control Act of 1985. This is $1,000,000,000 above the budget
estimate.
The appropriation includes direction for the component
commanders of the Army Reserve, Navy Reserve, Marine Forces
Reserve, Air Force Reserve, Army National Guard, and Air
National Guard to submit to the congressional defense
committees a detailed assessment of their component's
modernization priorities, not later than 30 days after
enactment of this act.

Guard and reserve components with priority consideration given
to the following items: aircraft emergency response refuel
equipment kits; aviation status dashboard; controlled humidity
preservation; call for fire training; crashworthy,
ballistically tolerant auxiliary fuel systems for UH-60
helicopters; heavy dump trucks; high mobility multipurpose
wheeled vehicle modernization; training systems for aircraft
survivability and weapons engagement; UH-60 gunner seats; and
vehicle-mounted, man-portable radiological nuclear detection
systems.

REPROGRAMMING GUIDANCE FOR ACQUISITION ACCOUNTS
The Secretary of Defense is directed to continue to follow
the reprogramming guidance as specified in the report
accompanying the House version of the Department of Defense
appropriations bill for fiscal year 2008 (House Report 110-
279). The dollar threshold for reprogramming funds shall be
$15,000,000 for procurement and research, development, test and
evaluation.
Also, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) is
directed to continue to provide the congressional defense
committees quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD Form 1416 reports
for service and defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of
this act. Reports for titles III and IV shall comply with
guidance specified in the conference report accompanying the
Department of Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2006.
The Department shall continue to follow the limitation that
prior approval reprogrammings are set at either the specified
dollar threshold or 20 percent of the procurement or research,
development, test and evaluation line, whichever is less. These
thresholds are cumulative from the base for reprogramming value
as modified by any adjustments. Therefore, if the combined
value of transfers into or out of a procurement (P-1), or a
research, development, test and evaluation (R-1) line exceeds
the identified threshold, the Secretary of Defense must submit
a prior approval reprogramming to the congressional defense
committees. In addition, guidelines on the application of prior
approval reprogramming procedures for congressional special
interest items are established elsewhere in this explanatory
statement.
FUNDING INCREASES
The funding increases outlined in the tables accompanying
each appropriation account shall be provided only for the
specific purposes indicated in the tables of Committee
Recommended Adjustments. The Committee directs that funding
increases shall be competitively awarded, or provided to
programs that have received competitive awards in the past.
RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION SPECIAL INTEREST ITEMS
Items for which additional funds have been recommended or
items for which funding is specifically reduced as shown in the
tables detailing Committee Recommended Adjustments or in
paragraphs using the phrase ``only for'' or ``only to'' are
congressional special interest items for the purpose of the
Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414). Each of these items must
be carried on the DD Form 1414 at the stated amount, as
specifically addressed elsewhere in this report.
RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION OVERVIEW
Software and Digital Technology Pilot Programs.--The
Secretary of Defense shall submit bi-annual reports to the
congressional defense committees detailing the Department's
assessment for each of the programs included in section 8102 of
title VIII of this act. The report shall remain consistent with
the specific reporting requirements outlined in the Joint
Explanatory Statement accompanying the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-47). The Committee
notes that recent reports have shown marked improvement in the
metrics reported and quantitative assessments of the pilot
programs. The Committee further notes that the fiscal year 2025
President's budget request includes a request for a new pilot
program within the United States Cyber Command [USCYBERCOM]
portfolio. However, while the Committee believes that this
program is too hardware centric to justify its inclusion in the
pilot program in fiscal year 2025, it does recognize that a
program within USCYBERCOM could be valuable in future budget
submissions. Further, the Committee recognizes the significant
investment that the Department has made in its Advanced
Analytics [ADVANA] program and therefore recommends
transferring funds requested for ADVANA into the software and
digital technology pilot program, as detailed in the tables of
Committee Recommended Adjustments.
Finally, the Committee has identified inconsistencies in
justification materials for the software pilot programs
submitted with the fiscal year 2025 President's budget request
and directs the Undersecretary of Defense (Comptroller) to
ensure that justification materials for all Software and
Digital Technology Pilot programs clearly delineate the
resources and activities within the justification materials
that would have been traditionally aligned to the operations
and maintenance, procurement, and research, development, test
and evaluation accounts.
Disclosure Requirements for Recipients of Research and
Development Funds.--The Committee urges the full disclosure of
Federal support and transparency by recipients of Department of
Defense research and development grants and understands Title
10, United States Code, Section 4207, now explicitly provides
effective disclosure requirements for these purposes.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, not
later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this act, to
provide a report to the congressional defense committees
detailing plans for ensuring compliance with Title 10, United
States Code, Section 4207, including enforcement actions,
related to disclosure of Federal funds.
Reporting on Mid-Tier Acquisition and Rapid Prototyping
Programs.--The Committee remains supportive of efforts to
accelerate the delivery of capability to the warfighter,
including through the use of rapid acquisition authorities and
contracting strategies provided for in existing law, such as
the use of middle-tier acquisition of warfighter capabilities
(``section 804''). The Committee notes that this fiscal year,
most programs using MTA will reach the end of their five year
authority, at which point they are expected to field capability
or transition to an alternative acquisition pathway.
Further, the Committee notes that the United States
Government Accountability Office [GAO] issued its Weapon
Systems Annual Assessment in June 2024. The report highlights
decisions by the Department to continue conducting linear
development and fielding processes, such as 5 years of rapid
prototyping followed by 5 years of rapid fielding or subsequent
entry into the major capability pathway at a developmental
stage. Contrary to congressional intent when establishing MTAs,
this creates programs with an average 10-year development cycle
for major capability acquisition programs. Some programs, like
the B-52 Commercial Engine Replacement Program are not expected
to hit initial operating capability until at least 14 years
after initiation as an MTA.
These concerns have been raised previously by this
Committee, and concerns remain that MTAs designed to field
mature capabilities or rapidly prototype technologies, are
instead being used to circumvent traditional reporting
requirements for major acquisition programs without resulting
in capability deliveries in a timely manner. MTAs were designed
to field capabilities at speed, yet the programs utilizing the
MTA pathway have largely not achieved that. The GAO report
notes that the program officials for the Army's Extended Range
Cannon Artillery [ERCA] program, for example were quoted as
saying that ``the 5-year window was too short to develop a
system as innovative as ERCA.''
Therefore, as in prior years, the Committee directs the
Under Secretaries of Defense (Research and Engineering) and
(Acquisition and Sustainment), in coordination with the service
acquisition executives for the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Space
Force, to provide to the congressional defense committees, with
submission of the fiscal year 2026 President's budget request,
a complete list of approved acquisition programs by year of
initiation, and programs pending approval in fiscal year 2026,
utilizing prototyping or accelerated acquisition authorities,
the rationale for each selected acquisition strategy, a cost
estimate and contracting strategy, the planned date for initial
operational capability, and the expected acquisition pathway
for transition for each such program. Further, the Under
Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and the Assistant
Secretaries (Financial Management and Comptroller) for the
Army, Navy, and Air Force, are directed to certify full funding
of the acquisition strategies for each of these programs in the
fiscal year 2025 President's budget request, including their
test strategies; finally, the Director, Operational Test and
Evaluation, is directed to certify to the congressional defense
committees the appropriateness of the services' planned test
strategies for such programs, to include a risk assessment.
Further, the Committee directs the Undersecretary of
Defense (Intelligence and Security) to certify to the
congressional defense committees that the services have
conducted a valid lifecycle threat review. To the extent that
the respective service acquisition executives, service
financial manager and comptrollers, and Director, Operational
Test and Evaluation, provided the information requested above
with submission of the fiscal year 2025 President's budget, any
variations thereto should be included with the fiscal year 2026
submission. In addition, the services' financial manager and
comptrollers are directed to identify the full costs for
prototyping units by individual item in the research,
development, test and evaluation budget exhibits for the budget
year as well as the Future Years Defense Program.
Other Transaction Agreements.--Pursuant to section 873 of
the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232), as amended by section
819 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year
2020 (Public Law 116-92) and the Joint Explanatory Statement
accompanying the Department of Defense and Labor, Health and
Human Services, and Education Appropriations Act for 2019
(Public Law 115-245), the Department of Defense is required to
meet annual and quarterly reporting requirements regarding the
use of Other Transaction Authority [OTA]. The Committee notes
the growing usage of OTAs and their important role in
increasing the ability of the Department to do business with
non-traditional defense contractors.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of
Defense (Acquisition and Sustainment) to continue the
previously established reporting requirements. Further, the
Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition
and Sustainment), not later than 60 days following enactment of
this act, to submit a report to the congressional defense
committees on the Department's use of OTA agreements in fiscal
year 2024, to include an analysis of the relative success rates
of follow-on production contracts initiated after the
conclusion of initial OTA agreements in comparison to lessons
learned from conventional Federal Acquisition Regulation-based
acquisitions. Further, the report shall identify the use of
consortia and individually identify with associated dollar
amounts, the awards to individual vendors under an agreement
with a consortium.
Multi-Domain Artillery Cannon System.--The fiscal year 2025
President's budget request includes $66,915,000 in the
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army account to
begin development of the Multi-Doman Artillery Cannon System
[MDACS], which is intended to address cruise missile and
unmanned aircraft system threats. This program has been
characterized as the further maturation of the Strategic
Capabilities Office's Hypervelocity Gun Weapon System [HGWS],
which includes system elements that have been in development
since at least fiscal year 2013. The fiscal year 2025
President's budget request includes $165,075,000 for this
effort within the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation,
Defense-wide account.
The Committee is concerned that the acquisition strategy
for MDACS and HGWS, as presented, would extend the resourcing
of a developmental program from one prototyping entity within
the Department of Defense to another prototyping organization
without a validated requirement, acquisition strategy, or
identified Program Office to test, field, operate, and sustain
the new capability. While the Committee remains supportive of
the rapid prototyping authorities provided to the Department of
Defense, it has received insufficient budget justification to
support continued development of MDACS and HGWS in fiscal year
2025.
While the Committee acknowledges that gun-based precision
munitions have the potential to provide a low-cost and mobile
alternative to traditional high-performance interceptor
systems, it lacks sufficient justification to indicate that
this particular system has a viable path to operational use.
Recognizing that improving the strength of the Joint Force
is inextricably linked to the requirements and resourcing
process, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to
provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees, not
later than 90 days after the enactment of this act, that
identifies which of the technologies developed within the HGWS
system, if any, are being considered for integration into
future battery formations.
Advanced Sensors Application Program.--The Committee
understands that the Department of Defense, at congressional
direction, transitioned the Advanced Sensors Application
Program [ASAP] to the Department of the Air Force earlier this
year. The Committee notes that, since this is a transition year
for the program, neither the Department of the Navy nor the
Department of the Air Force requested funding for ASAP in the
fiscal year 2025 President's budget request. The Committee
expects the Secretary of the Air Force to appropriately budget
for ASAP in the Future Years Defense Program and supports the
related direction in the classified annex of the report
accompanying S.4638, the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 2025, as reported by the Senate Armed Services
Committee (Senate Report 118-188).

Directed Energy Investments.--The Committee is encouraged
by the Department of the Army's enduring directed energy
strategy, which involves a more strategic approach that
emphasizes ongoing prototype development, testing, and soldier
user evaluations. This strategy leverages existing flexible
acquisition authorities to rapidly field the technology and
gain immediate soldier feedback--as exemplified by the
operational deployment of the Directed Energy Maneuver Short-
Range Air Defense system and Palletized High Energy Laser
system. While the Committee recognizes and appreciates the
significant potential and operational value of directed energy
systems for air defense and counter-UAS capabilities, the
technical maturity and scalability of these systems remains an
operational challenge, with issues such as power generation,
thermal management, and beam control warranting further
development and maturation.
The Committee recommendation includes $77,281,000 for the
continued development of the Indirect Fire Protection
Capability-High Power Microwave, the Directed Energy Maneuver
Short-Range Air Defense systems and Army Multi-Purpose High
Energy Laser. The Committee remains concerned with the status
of the Indirect Fire Protection Capability-High Energy Laser
program and encourages the Department of the Army to reevaluate
the program in preparation of the fiscal year 2026 President's
budget request to ensure the program is aligned and consistent
with the current enduring directed energy strategy.
Technologies to Join Advanced Materials.--The Committee
encourages the development of technologies to join advanced
materials for demonstration and implementation in critical
warfighting systems such that those systems can be readily
recycled and re-entered into the domestic materials supply
chain.
Metal Forging Innovation.--The Committee understands that
forgings are essential to national security and the performance
of critical defense systems. The Committee notes that greater
investment in forging innovation and resilience is necessary to
maintain warfighter preparedness and a modernized defense
industrial ecosystem.
Alternative Cement Solutions.--The Committee supports the
continued development of technologies to develop, demonstrate,
and deploy alternative solutions for cement that drive
decarbonization, increased supply chain resiliency, and
accelerate in-theater fabrication through indigenous materials
and advanced structural designs.
Distributed Electromagnetic Warfare and Radio Frequency
Sensors.--The Committee supports 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 sensors
to provide performance improvement over existing architecture.
These advances will enable new systems to meet the near-term
enduring battlespace challenges of survivability, redundancy,
frequency exclusivity, and GPS-dependence.
Novel Printed Armament Components.--The Committee
recognizes the Army's critical role in providing advanced
hybrid technologies for armaments that offer overmatch in
lethality against adversaries. Maintaining a strong armaments
technology base will require continued investments to rapidly
design, develop, manufacture, and integrate new processes and
applications for current and future armament and munition
systems. The Committee supports the continued development of
enabling printed electronics, energetics, materials, and
sensors for munition systems.
Pathfinder.--The Committee supports the Army's efforts to
implement the Pathfinder program to transition innovative
research and technologies into operational use more
efficiently. The Committee notes that Pathfinder has a mandate
to capitalize on university-based, applied research by
incorporating direct soldier insights in the formulation and
execution of projects. Therefore, the Committee recommends an
increase of $17,500,000 to support Army university research
partnerships exploring next-generation technologies using a
bottom-up approach maximizing individual soldier feedback and
participation.
Improved Troop Seats for H-60 Rotorcraft.--The Committee
recognizes the importance of improved troop and gunner seats in
H-60 rotorcraft to better support Army aircrew readiness and
mitigate personnel injuries. The Committee understands the Army
has integrated the side-facing multi-functioning operator seat
in new production UH-60M Black Hawk rotorcraft to address this
concern, however, the Army continues to maintain and operate
older legacy UH-60L rotorcraft that would require improved
troop and gunner seats with the majority of these being
operated by the Army National Guard. Accordingly, the Committee
directs the Chief of Staff of the Army, in coordination with
the Chief of the National Guard Bureau to provide a briefing to
the congressional defense committees, not later than 60 days
after enactment of this act that addresses the advisability and
feasibility for upgrading legacy UH-60L aircraft with improved
troop and gunner seats. The report shall include analysis of
other military service gunner seats, as well as any cost data
related to required air-worthiness certification requirements.
Enhanced Electrolyte Product Studies.--The Committee
encourages the Secretary of the Army to evaluate existing
methods of oral hydration for recruits in basic training and
assess alternative commercially-available options that may
provide soldiers with better performance and enhanced
prevention of heat stress at lower cost.
High Strength Ballistic Glass Fiber Development.--The
Committee notes the importance of having domestic sources for
high performance glass fiber technology to accelerate the
development of next generation ballistic protection and
aerospace capabilities. The Committee encourages the Secretary
of the Army to increase investment to further development of
innovative ultra-high melting temperature technology to
accelerate next-generation glass fiber capability required for
supporting ballistic protection, hypersonics, and advanced
computing.
Hydra-70 Rocket Product Improvements.--The Committee
recognizes the importance of hydra-70 rockets as a critical
air-to-ground munition for Army rotorcraft and also notes its
operational effectiveness as a low-cost interceptor to mitigate
threats from unmanned aircraft systems. The Committee
encourages the Secretary of the Army to sufficiently resource
any obsolescence requirements and work to accelerate
qualification of the high explosive anti-tank anti-personnel
anti-material warhead.
Landmine Warfare.--The Committee notes that the degradation
of the U.S. landmine stockpile could create unacceptable risk
to mission and the joint force. The Committee further notes
that the Army is currently developing the XM250 as the primary
program of record for close terrain shaping obstacles [CTSO]
that is compliant with current Department of Defense landmine
policy and understands that the use of CTSO enables friendly
forces to disrupt, fix, turn, and block enemy forces, in either
the offense or defense. The Committee supports the continued
development of the XM-250 objective capability which would
provide joint force commanders bottom attack, top attack,
networked, and man-in-the-loop features--among other
capabilities.
Verified Inherent Control.--The Committee supports and
encourages the development of critical technologies to verify
the end product produced by additive manufacturing. This
research is critical to ensuring that additively manufactured
components meet performance specifications and mitigate cyber
vulnerabilities.
Digital Airworthiness Certification.--The Committee
understands the Army's airworthiness certification program has
historically been, and currently is, a document-based process
of defining requirements along with defining tests, analyses,
and demonstrations for showing verification of airworthiness
criteria. The Committee supports efforts to develop solutions
necessary for the airworthiness process to be conducted within
digital engineering systems and as part of digital acquisition
processes.
Infrastructure Smart Technology.--The Committee encourages
the Director of the Army Engineer Research and Development
Center to accelerate development of infrastructure health
monitoring systems and integrate the use of digital twin
technology to expand analytical capabilities to ensure military
and installation bridges remain safely in operation and perform
reliably for civilian and military traffic.
Soldier Survivability in Airborne Operations.--The
Committee notes the long and short-term impact of physical
force and physiological stress placed on airborne personnel
during jump training and encourages the Secretary of the Army
to resource development of a wearable system that monitors
airborne personnel in real-time through the Tactical Assault
Kit.
Multi-Domain Capabilities in the Army National Guard.--The
Committee understands the Army National Guard is the combat
reserve of the U.S. Army and has served as an operational force
for the past two decades and not just a strategic reserve. The
Committee recognizes the need to properly resource ready, well
equipped, and integrated Army National Guard units with the
active Component and is aware the report accompanying S. 4638,
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2025, as
reported by the Senate Armed Services 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 on the Army's plans to expand multi-domain task
force [MDTF] capabilities into Army National Guard force
structure. The Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to
include the Committees on Appropriations of the House of
Representatives and the Senate as part of this briefing
requirement.

Nanolayered Film Capacitors.--The Committee commends the
Department of the Navy, specifically the Office of Naval
Research, for its investments in nanolayered plastic film
processing technology. Innovative nanolayered film for
capacitors can increase energy storage and device operation
temperatures in a wide variety of electrical applications.
These investments are necessary to maintain leading edge
technology, strengthen the domestic industrial base, and limit
our reliance on foreign material acquisitions which currently
average around 80 million pounds of capacitor film imported
from foreign supply chains each year. The Committee encourages
the Chief of Naval Research to continue leading the effort to
develop and qualify new nanolayered films for capacitors.
Anti-Corrosion Nanotechnology.--The Committee recognizes
the large cost burdens associated with corrosion prevention and
corrosion-related maintenance activities of the Navy's fleet of
ships and submarines. Considering the vast maritime domain of
the Indo-Pacific region, fleet assets operating in this area of
responsibility are particularly vulnerable to corrosion and
require the development and application of new technologies
that will increase the corrosion resistance and ultimately
increase our fleet's operational availability. Therefore, the
Committee encourages the Secretary of the Navy to accelerate
investment in research and demonstrations of nanotechnology-
based innovations that can provide improved corrosion
resistance to the fleet, thereby reducing maintenance
requirements, and increasing operational availability.
Long-Term Autonomy for Underwater Surveillance.--The
Committee recognizes the promise of autonomous underwater
robotics for both challenging and repetitive tasks. In
particular, the Committee understands that the Navy has
identified port security, environmental monitoring, and
infrastructure maintenance tasks as ideal candidates for
integrating the use of underwater robots. While industry and
academic partners are making significant investments and
continuing to realize enhanced autonomous capabilities for
other use cases, gaps in the solutions exist when unique Naval
needs are considered. The underwater domain is a particularly
challenging environment for most technology because the
uncertainty and dynamics of water make maneuvering, inspection,
and object manipulation more difficult than other domains.
Additionally, communications are generally limited to
acoustics. Turbidity prevents clear perception in most
locations, and salt water corrodes most hardware.
The Committee understands that over the last several years,
the commercial market has provided hardware that handles
environmental factors and some sensing solutions, but the
remaining coordination, control, sensing, and communications
issues require fundamentally new artificial intelligence. To
maintain autonomy for long periods, the system must be able to
dynamically change its goals and learn how to accomplish its
mission in the face of changing environments and uncertain
sensor information. Therefore, the Committee encourages the
Secretary of the Navy to increase its investment in autonomous
operations and artificial intelligence for the long-term
operations of underwater vehicles and robotics.
Modular Mineral-to-Metal Recovery.--The Committee supports
the development of technologies that advance novel solutions
for sustainable modular metal recovery processing and
refinement units for critical minerals and rare earth elements
that drive the expansion of domestic supply chain resiliency
and provide a pathway towards increased reliance of metals
recovery in allied nations.
Seafloor Sensor Simulation.--The Committee recognizes the
importance of high-resolution and sensor-realistic three-
dimensional [3D] simulation environments to the operations of
the Navy's Unmanned Underwater Vehicle [UUV] fleet, and other
underwater operations. However, the Committee is concerned that
there are capability gaps and unmet requirements with the
current method of manually generating simulation environments
for subsea mission planning and operations. Therefore, the
Committee encourages the Secretary of the Navy to review the
current simulation system's limitations and explore the
efficacy of deploying a more sophisticated machine learning
based seafloor sensor simulation system that enables
automatically generated high-resolution and sensor-realistic 3D
environments for training UUVs
Undersea Sensing and Communications.--The Committee
commends the work being done by the Department of the Navy
through the Naval Undersea Warfare Centers [NUWC] to provide
research, development, test and evaluation, engineering,
analysis, assessment, and fleet support capabilities for
submarines, autonomous underwater systems, and undersea weapon
systems. Our nation's NUWCs are indispensable in the effort to
advance and adopt emerging technologies in support of undersea
warfare. The Committee encourages the Secretary of the Navy to
continue supporting the NUWCs and increase investment in
undersea sensing, communications, situational awareness and
autonomy for unmanned underwater vehicles.
Expansion of Thermoplastic Composites.--The Committee notes
that investment in next-generation materials development is
essential to advancing the capabilities of the domestic
industrial base, particularly within the area of advanced
thermoplastic composites for aerospace applications. Increased
use of thermoplastic composites may reduce costs, reduce
manufacturing lead-times, increase platform efficiency and
decrease dependence on some foreign sources of certain critical
minerals, such as titanium. As such, the Committee encourages
the Secretary of the Navy to collaborate with the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration, Oak Ridge National
Laboratory, Air Force Research Laboratory, and the recently
designated American Aerospace Manufacturing Materials Center
for the domestic research, development, and manufacturing of
thermoplastic composites, including activities that prioritize
new domestic supply and manufacturing technologies.
Expeditionary Advanced Manufacturing for Fleet Maintenance
Coatings.--The Committee commends the Department of the Navy
for pursuing innovative solutions for expeditionary maintenance
technologies for its ships and submarines and notes the Navy
recently held its first ever Repair Technology Exercise that
successfully brought together over sixty vendors to expand the
ability of the Navy to conduct expeditionary maintenance. The
Committee believes there is an opportunity to pursue these
types of advancements in preventative hull coating systems that
can be applied during construction and scaled for operational
level maintenance by sailors underway. Therefore, the Committee
encourages the Secretary of the Navy to pursue preventive
coating technologies that can be scaled for use in forward
deployed maintenance environments to decrease repair
requirements in longer scheduled maintenance availabilities.
Maintenance Technologies Supporting Operational
Readiness.--The Committee supports the development and
application of critical maintenance technologies across the
areas of shipboard repair, material availability, and
inspection. Through the application of automated tooling,
advanced manufacturing, augmented or virtual reality and
improved inspection technologies, it is imperative that the
Navy's investments in maintenance technologies keep pace with
the developments made in commercial production lines and repair
facilities. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Secretary
of the Navy to ensure that sufficient investment is made to
modernize our Nation's public and private shipyards.
Hypersonic Lethality.--The Committee commends the
Department of Defense for its continued support for the
development and fielding of hypersonics weapons systems,
especially the Navy's Conventional Prompt Strike [CPS] program.
CPS will be a surface and subsurface launched munition designed
to strike long distance targets with a kinetic energy
projectile warhead. Given the uniqueness of the weapon system,
the Committee is concerned that the lethality of such a warhead
at hypersonic speeds has not yet been realized. To improve this
understanding, the Committee encourages the Secretary of the
Navy to leverage existing modeling, simulation, and analysis
tools and configure them to improve the lethality of hypersonic
systems across a wide-range of launch profiles and flight
paths.
Digital High Frequency Communication Augmentation.--The
Committee notes the increase in the use of commercial
communication services across the Department of Defense,
particularly with satellite communications. However, the
Committee notes that the same adoption of commercial
communication services has not occurred within the terrestrial
digital high frequency [HF] space. The Committee believes that
adoption of commercial HF services to augment the Department's
existing infrastructure would add capacity and increase
resiliency through node density and geographic separation of
transmit and receive sites. Further, the Committee notes that
HF provides an effective alternative to satellite beyond-line-
of-sight communications and for a distributed force like the
Navy, is an important communications transport mechanism.
Therefore, the Committee encourages the Secretary of the Navy
to assess the viability of HF augmentation through the
procurement of commercial services.
Common X-Band Transmitter.--The Committee notes that in
2021 the Department of the Navy awarded an engineering and
manufacturing development contract for a new MK 9 Tracker
Illuminator System for integration into ships carrying the
Evolved Seasparrow Missile. The MK 9 transmitter/ illuminator
is designed to support new configurations providing scalability
in transmitted power and flexibility in waveform transmission.
The Committee believes this system can be adapted to address
alternate fire control system variants where obsolescence has
not been addressed and help to provide commonality amongst fire
control systems across multiple variants of surface ships
within the U.S. Navy's Fleet and the fleets of allies that
operate similar weapon systems. Therefore, the Committee
encourages the Secretary of the Navy to assess the feasibility
of scaling the MK 9 system across other fire control solutions.
IFF Cryptographic Modernization for Small UAS.--The
Committee notes that in 2024, the National Security Agency
[NSA] mandated cryptographic modernization 2 [CM2] for all NSA-
certified encryption systems. Further, the Committee notes that
with the proliferation of small unmanned systems, the effort to
maintain compliance is an increasing burden on the Services.
Therefore, the Committee encourages the Secretary of the Navy
to ensure that small unmanned systems are CM2 compliant in an
effort to maintain interoperability with Identification Friend
or Foe systems and avoid fratricide and unnecessary casualties.
Enhanced Maritime Monitoring System.--The Committee
supports the expansion of maritime domain awareness programs,
including coastal surveillance systems that are currently
supporting building partner capacity programs countering
Chinese expansion in the Indo-Pacific region. These systems
fill a capability gap for semi-portable, autonomous maritime
collection from terrestrial sites. The systems, with integrated
Automatic Identification System, solid state X-band frequency
diversity radar, high-resolution electro-optical/infrared
cameras, and radio frequency energy direction finding, satisfy
Indo Pacific Command requirements to monitor maritime
chokepoints or regions with limited maneuver space. The
Committee is aware that these systems are operational and
provides Combatant Commanders with critical information. The
Committee supports the expansion of these systems to support
U.S. military requirements, as well as in defense of allied
nations against nefarious nation States, and encourages the
Secretary of the Navy to expand their deployment.
Increased Access to Ocean Data.--As part of broader efforts
to standardize and make available oceanographic data, the
Committee encourages the Secretary of the Navy to take the
steps necessary to ensure the release of and public access to
unclassified and declassified oceanographic data, including
information about pirate fishing vessels that will help coastal
States in Africa and other regions better police their
exclusive economic zones, subject to existing regulatory
restrictions.
Uncrewed Undersea Vehicle Research for Confined-Water
Environments.--The Committee notes that undersea caves are
largely unexplored due to technical limitations of existing
uncrewed undersea vehicles [UUVs]. The Committee understands
that such exploration requires stable, precisely navigating
platforms that host robust mapping and exploration capabilities
while minimally disrupting the environment. The Committee is
aware of projects undertaken by the Office of Naval Research in
this area and encourages the Chief of Naval Research to
continue investments in UUVs optimized for research in
confined-water environments.

Next Generation Air Dominance.--The fiscal year 2025
President's budget request includes $3,306,355,000 in Research,
Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force for the Next
Generation Air Dominance [NGAD] Family of Systems portfolio,
which consists of $2,749,208,000 for the NGAD Platform and
$557,147,000 for the Collaborative Combat Aircraft [CCA]
program. The Committee has concerns that funding for CCA and
NGAD are currently within the same budget line, limiting
Congress' ability to discretely identify how funding is
delineated between the two efforts within the year-of-
execution. Furthermore, the Committee notes that in order to
ensure visibility into cost and performance, and to provide
traceability of appropriated funding, the CCA program should be
budgeted for in an individual, dedicated program element.
Therefore, the Committee establishes a new budget line for CCA
as delineated in the table of Committee Recommended Adjustments
accompanying this section, and directs the Secretary of the Air
Force to retain this program element structure in the fiscal
year 2026 and future President's budget requests.
The NGAD platform is intended to be the Department of the
Air Force's sixth-generation fighter platform for the 2030s and
beyond. The Committee has been a strong proponent of the NGAD
platform and fully funded the President's Budget request in
fiscal years 2022 through 2024 for a combined total of
$5,116,318,000. The Committee fully supports the fiscal year
2025 President's Budget request, and commends the Air Force
approach for a government-owned, autonomous, open-architecture
framework in the NGAD platform, which has optimized vendor
optionality to the Air Force throughout the development
process.
The Secretary of the Air Force has publicly stated that the
future of the NGAD platform is being reevaluated. The Committee
understands that the Air Force has delayed the decision for the
engineering and manufacturing development phase of the program,
raising questions about the Air Force's commitment to fielding
advanced aircraft capable of maintaining air dominance in a
contested 21st century environment. Moreover, the Committee is
concerned that current and projected fighter aircraft
acquisition across the Future Years Defense Program is
inadequate. As the F-35 continues to experience extensive
delays in the delivery of combat capable aircraft, and fiscal
year 2025 is currently the last programmed buy for the F-15EX,
absent maturation of the NGAD platform, the Air Force has not
presented a viable plan to sustaining the production and
fielding of fighter aircraft. The Committee notes that in
Senate Report 118-81, the Committee directed the Secretary of
the Air Force to submit a report with the fiscal year 2025
President's budget submission that describes the plan for
mitigating the gap between divestments and future platforms,
both in terms of timing and total fielded capabilities. A
requirement that has not yet been fulfilled. Therefore, the
Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide the
required briefing in a timely manner.
Next Generation Adaptive Propulsion.--The fiscal year 2025
President's Budget request includes $562,337,000 for the Next
Generation Adaptive Propulsion [NGAP] effort in the Research,
Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force account. The
Committee fully supports this request. In order to ensure
visibility into cost and performance, and enable oversight of
appropriated funds, the Committee again, as in the Department
of Defense Appropriations Act, 2024 establishes a new and
distinct budget line for NGAP, as delineated in the table of
Committee Recommended Adjustments accompanying this section.
The Secretary of the Air Force is directed to retain this
program element structure in the fiscal year 2026 and future
President's budget requests.
Additionally, the Committee recognizes that the NGAP
program is imperative to the success of the Department of the
Air Force's Next Generation Air Dominance platform. The
Committee supports the competitive acquisition strategy and
notes the importance of maintaining no fewer than two viable
competitors to ensure innovation and cost realism. Therefore,
the Committee recommends an additional $280,000,000 only to
maintain competition for NGAP engine development, to reduce
program risk. The Assistant Secretary of the Air Force
(Acquisition, Technology and Logistics) is directed to provide
to the congressional defense committees, not later than 90 days
after enactment of this act, a spend plan for the additional
resources.
Advanced Engine Development.--The Committee notes that the
Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying the Department of
Defense Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-47) directed
the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Acquisition,
Technology, and Logistics) to provide to the congressional
defense committees a briefing describing how the Air Force
intends to ensure there is a sufficient level of engine design
work in order to maintain a robust domestic aircraft engine
industrial base. That requirement has not yet been fulfilled.
The Committee continues to recognize the importance of
maintaining a skilled engineering and manufacturing workforce
within the aircraft engine industrial base. Therefore, the
Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide the
required briefing in a timely manner.
Sentinel.--The Sentinel system replaces the aging Minuteman
III Intercontinental Ballistic Missile [ICBM] system, which has
been in service for over 50 years. The Committee notes that
earlier this year, Congress was notified by the Department of
the Air Force that the Sentinel program exceeded projected
costs. The Committee further notes that following a
comprehensive program review in accordance with Title 10,
United States Code, Section 4376, the Under Secretary of
Defense (Acquisition and Sustainment) certified that the
Sentinel program meets the statutory criteria to continue. This
includes certification that the continuation of the Sentinel
program is essential to national security; that there are no
alternatives to the program which will provide acceptable
capability to meet the joint requirements at less cost; that
the new estimates of the program acquisition unit cost or
procurement unit cost have been determined by the Director of
Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation to be reasonable; that
the program is a higher priority than programs whose funding
must be reduced to accommodate the growth in cost of the
program; and that the management structure for the program is
adequate to manage and control program acquisition unit cost or
procurement unit cost.
The Committee strongly supports the decision to continue
the Sentinel program; however, the Committee notes that the
revised schedule for the program to proceed remains unclear.
Given the critical nature of this program, the Committee is
concerned at the lack of urgency with respect to defining
programmatic and schedule details, specifying distinct plans
and efforts, and, most importantly, establishing a revised
schedule to provide a clear way forward and ensure program
success. Therefore, the Secretary of the Air Force is directed
to provide to the congressional defense committees, no later
than 30 days after the enactment of this act, a plan for
incremental progress towards these goals, to include an interim
schedule, as well as a plan to achieve a fully Integrated
Master Schedule. These plans shall include benchmarks,
milestones, as well as an identification of the defense
industrial base requirements to achieve the revised schedule.
Further, given the large cost changes currently projected for
this effort, the Secretary of the Air Force is directed to
coordinate with industry partners to conduct an Integrated
Baseline Review, and to include a summary of the findings to
the congressional defense committees during a subsequent
quarterly review. The Committee intent is that this review can
be conducted in parallel with continued development efforts,
and notes that such a review shall not affect incremental
progress across the program.
The fiscal year 2025 President's budget request includes
$3,721,024,000 in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation,
Air Force to continue Engineering Manufacturing Development
[EMD] efforts of the Sentinel program. The Committee supports
this request, and understands that the program requires full
funding to continue EMD efforts, and burn down risk areas
identified during the program review. The Committee recommends
an additional $200,000,000 for Sentinel industrial base risk
reduction and prototyping to keep the supply base healthy and
in a position to support the increasing demands of the program.
This funding may be used to strengthen Sentinel program key
suppliers, improve supplier efficiency, develop radiation-
hardened components for strategic applications, certify metal-
oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors, and accelerate
workforce development and collaboration with trade schools.
Consistent with direction included in the Joint Explanatory
Statement accompanying the Department of Defense Appropriations
Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-47), the Committee directs the
Secretary of the Air Force to provide quarterly reports to the
congressional defense committees beginning on the first day of
the fiscal year quarter following the date of enactment of this
act until the first day of the fiscal year quarter after all
such funds have been obligated and expended. The report shall
include for each obligation and expenditure of this recommended
funding increase: performers, location, description of the work
performed, obligation date and amount, expenditure date and
amount, original contract amount, description of any
shortfalls, actions to be undertaken, desired end state, usable
items to be procured, level of effort to be performed, period
of performance, additional funding amount provided as
applicable, and projected associated savings as applicable.
Additionally, the Committee notes the quarterly metrics
provided by the Air Force, as directed in House Report 117-88,
and heavily relies on the information contained to track cost,
schedule, and performance, software development, progress on
efforts to recapitalize launch facilities, launch control
centers, and other supporting infrastructure, and assess
technical risk. In addition to this information, the Committee
directs the Secretary of the Air Force to also provide the
following information on a quarterly basis: actual and planned
government and contractor staffing, schedule summary scorecards
to highlight the percentage of progress made through completion
of major tasks, construction quarterly progress, a component
development diagram that shows the status of critical
components in relation to schedule need, overall prime workload
curves to illuminate competing staffing demands, and critical
supplier rankings.
Sentinel Local Workforce.--The Committee notes the
importance of ensuring the Sentinel program has access to the
skilled labor force necessary to complete construction of this
critical project without additional delay. The Committee
encourages the Secretary of the Air Force, through the Program
Executive Officer position for Intercontinental Ballistic
Missiles, and industry partners, to proactively engage with
local labor unions to identify and secure the necessary high-
skilled local workforce within the States where Sentinel
program construction will occur. This should include the
establishment of a roadmap that identifies workforce needs by
size, trades, and schedule to ensure timely completion of the
Sentinel projects. The Committee directs the Secretary of the
Air Force to provide an update to the congressional defense
committees, not later than April 30, 2025, on these engagement
efforts, including any progress or resulting agreements.
Additionally, to reduce the risk of potential workforce
shortages and ensure timely completion of this project, the
Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to establish a
pilot program for local workforce development to support the
Sentinel program. The Secretary of the Air Force is encouraged
to collaborate with the Sentinel program's industry partners,
local educational institutions, and labor unions in the States
where construction will occur to develop targeted training
programs, apprenticeship programs, and career pathways aligned
with the Sentinel program's workforce needs. The pilot program
should focus on identified critical skill gaps and workforce
needs specific to the Sentinel program, tailored training and
certification programs, apprenticeship and on-the-job training
opportunities, and recruiting and retaining skilled workers in
the local communities proximate to Sentinel program sites.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force
to submit a report to the congressional defense committees, not
later than April 30, 2025, on the pilot program's progress,
critical skill gaps identified in States where construction
will occur, and the Air Force's plan to remediate such gaps.
Future Wireless Technology.--The Committee encourages the
Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Acquisition, Technology
and Logistics) to conduct research activities critical to
understanding, developing, and deploying high frequency
wireless systems for the Department of Defense.
Carbon-Carbon Composite Material Development.--The
Committee supports cooperative efforts between the Air Force
Research Laboratory and academia to work on the next generation
of carbon-carbon composite materials.
Secure Bitstream Production.--The Committee encourages the
Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Acquisition, Technology
and Logistics) to continue research in the creation of
bitstream encryption standards for the production and testing
of field programmable gate arrays within the United States.
Artificial Intelligence.--The Committee notes that some
available Artificial Intelligence [AI] models lack the required
maturity, security, and dependability, driving the need for
improved AI models. The Committee encourages the Assistant
Secretary of the Air Force (Acquisition, Technology and
Logistics) to develop the training, testing, and evaluation
methods that are needed to utilize AI in vital national
security roles.
Glass Packaging Solutions for Miniaturization.--The
Committee recognizes that future electronics demands will
require advances in semiconductor manufacturing, necessitating
the development and use of novel materials and processes. The
Committee encourages the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force
(Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics) to explore the use of
novel materials such as glass substrate in the manufacturing of
microelectronics capable of operating at high frequencies,
meeting stringent size, weight, and power constraints, and
withstanding high temperatures.
Use of Tanker Fleet as Communications Nodes.--The Committee
notes the need for a robust communications network capable of
leveraging all available aircraft. Further, the Committee
encourages the integration of enhanced communications
capabilities onto Air Force tankers. Therefore, the Committee
directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a report to
the congressional defense committees, not later than 90 days
after the enactment of this act, outlining ongoing and planned
efforts to integrate enhanced communications nodes on the
refueling tanker fleet. This report shall include an assessment
of future research required for current and future refueling
tankers' use of enhanced connectivity capabilities to
effectively integrate with manned fighters and Collaborative
Combat Aircraft.

National Space Intelligence Center.--The Department of
Defense Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-47) includes a
provision prohibiting the establishment of field operating
agencies [FOA]. The Committee believes that such a provision
unnecessarily hinders the Department from establishing the most
efficient organizational structure, which has been particularly
limiting as the Space Force was established.
The Committee notes that under the authority of an
exception to that provision for certain intelligence agencies,
in June 2024, the Space Force notified the congressional
defense and intelligence committees of its intent to realign
the National Space Intelligence Center [NSIC] from a Space
Delta to a Field Operating Agency to better ``meet their
responsibilities to both national and United States Space Force
intelligence efforts.'' The Committee understands that the
Enterprise Talent Management Office and the Space Warfare
Analysis Center are unable to exercise that same waiver to
transition to FOAs. Therefore, the Committee does not recommend
including the provision in the Department of Defense
Appropriations Act, 2025. The Deputy Chief of Space Operations,
Strategy, Plans, Programs, and Requirements is directed to
provide the congressional defense committees, no later than
September 30, 2024, a briefing detailing the operational impact
of this limitation on national security.
Commercial Satellite Testbed.--The Committee recognizes the
Department of Defense's reliance on commercial satellite
services. The wars in Ukraine and Israel have demonstrated that
when a commercial asset is known to support a defense mission,
it also becomes a target. Our adversaries understand the
criticality of space assets as part of the National and
tactical command-and-control system and will target the space
vehicles and ground networks that support those constellations.
While there are ongoing efforts to secure government systems,
the Committee has not found similar efforts focused on
defending commercial satellite systems that support national
security missions. To assure our National security, the United
States must provide a holistic solution to detect, deter, and
defend these mission essential systems, particularly from
cyber-attacks. Therefore, the Committee encourages the
Director, Space Systems Command to develop a commercial
satellite testbed that supports our National security by
developing advanced cyber assurance protocols for commercial
systems and that can provide critical insights into defending
commercial assets and providing resilience for continued
operation.
Automated Commercial Non-Earth Imaging.--The Committee sees
continued value in leveraging commercial capabilities that
enhance our domestic competitive advantage and simultaneously
better support the needs of our partners and allies. One of
these emerging capabilities is space-based commercial non-Earth
imaging [NEI]. As with other commercial space technologies,
space-based commercial NEI is a transformative technology
poised to greatly enhance space domain awareness for the
Department of Defense and its allies. As this capability
continues to advance, the Committee encourages the Commander,
Space Systems Command to assess the viability of augmenting
organic space domain awareness capabilities with commercial
services.
Competitive Procurement of Space Systems.--The Committee
supports open competition and competitive design, development,
and production of systems to ensure that the Department is
getting the right system at the right price. The Committee
notes that several recent acquisitions by the National
Reconnaissance Office within the Geospatial Intelligence
portfolio have or plan to use utilize non-competitive sole-
source procurements on contracts that are non-severable, and
hamper the oversight abilities over appropriated funds by the
congressional defense committees. The Committee has concerns
that these sole-source decisions are frequently following the
initiation of prototyping efforts that are not sufficiently
representative of the final systems awarded. In contrast, the
Committee notes that the Space Development Agency [SDA]
utilizes an approach where iterative tranches are awarded to
multiple vendors in an effort to spur competition and maintain
a robust industrial base. While SDA is still early in its
acquisition strategy, and long-term success is to-be
determined, these two approaches differ greatly and should be
understood in further detail. Therefore, the Committee includes
additional reporting requirements in the classified annex
accompanying this act on acquisition strategies and the
adherence of the Department's Financial Management Regulations
to address these issues.
Pilot Program for Multilevel Security.--The Committee
recognizes the growing number of organic and commercial
terrestrial and on-orbit space sensing capabilities across a
multitude of mission areas. The integration of increasing
numbers of commercial data-sets, disparate classifications of
organic data, and the growing complexity of cybersecurity
threats demands innovative security measures, to include data
tagging at all classification levels. The Committee believes a
strategy is required to increase data integration from multiple
sources at differing classification levels, thus allowing
seamless integration into critical command and control systems.
Therefore, the Committee encourages the Assistant Secretary of
the Air Force, Space Acquisition and Integration, in
coordination with the Chief of Space Operations, to implement a
pilot program that employs multilevel security solutions for
space operations to improve data availability for the
warfighter while increasing assured access to information
across classification levels.
Commercial Services.--The Committee commends and supports
the United States Space Force's commitment to a new acquisition
model that follows an ``exploit, buy, build'' approach. In many
instances, the Space Force is looking for rapid capability that
already exists either in commercial space or adjacent
industries and can be adapted into the current warfighting
architecture. While the stated goals are admirable, the
Committee is concerned that the relevant level of investment
outside of traditional acquisition programs is minimal at best.
Therefore, the Committee recommends an additional $22,000,000
to support the acquisition of commercial services to augment
the position, navigation and timing mission, space-based
environmental monitoring mission, and the Commercial
Augmentation Space Reserve. Further, the Committee encourages
the Secretary of the Air Force to increase investment in
commercial augmentation.
Commercial Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Tracking
Services.--The Committee notes the growing marketplace for
commercial service offerings in the world of electro-optical/
infrared, synthetic aperture radar, and hyperspectral imaging
capabilities. In addition, commercial constellations exist that
provide radio frequency and light detection and radar sensing.
The Committee notes that, with the increasing focus on peer
competition in contested environments, the Department of
Defense intends to rely on new space capabilities that can
fulfill traditional title 10 intelligence, surveillance,
reconnaissance, and target tracking missions as a replacement
for existing airborne assets. Further, the Committee notes that
proliferation of space capabilities continues to be the Air
Force's primary rationale for divestiture of the Joint
Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System, RQ-4, and other
sensing aircraft performing title 10 military service missions
with service resourcing while operating under title 10
prioritized tasking.
The Committee acknowledges that Department of Defense
Directive 5105.60, published in July 2009, which designates the
National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency as the Department's
principal advisor for geospatial intelligence [GEOINT].
However, the Committee believes that mission sets should drive
prioritization and planning, and that Department of Defense
Directive 5105.60 does not preclude other agencies from
acquiring those capabilities, nor does it supersede the
authority provided to the Secretary of the Air Force to man,
train, and equip Air Force and Space Force personnel in
accordance with title 10, United States Code, Section 9013(b).
Further, the Committee notes that for tactical mission sets,
receiving data in a relevant timeline is essential to the
success of a mission. The Committee is concerned that the
current tasking prioritization, while possibly suitable for our
most important and challenging national intelligence
requirements, may not be adequately responsive to Combatant
Commander needs at the operational level. Therefore, the
Committee recommends an additional $40,000,000 for Space
Systems Command's Commercial Space Office to continue its pilot
of a Combatant Command-direct tasking initiative for these
commercial space services.
Further, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to
submit a report to the congressional defense committees and
congressional intelligence committees, not later than 90 days
following enactment of this act, through an independent
assessment by a federally-funded research and development
center of the timeliness and efficacy of the current
prioritization process for GEOINT requirements within the
Department. The report shall include, but not be limited to:
assessments of: the current prioritization process to include
submission process, validation process, and execution process,
frequency of requirements updates; timeliness of the current
process to respond to emerging needs; and an independent
assessment of GEOINT requirements both filled and unfilled at
each of the geographic combatant commands with separate and
independent assessments for J2 intelligence requirements and J3
operational requirements; and recommendations for improvement,
if any. The report may be submitted in a classified format, but
shall be accompanied by an unclassified summary of the
findings.
Remote Sensing Classification.--The Committee notes that
the Department of Defense and the Intelligence Community are
partnering on new space sensing capabilities for radar,
electro-optical, and moving target indication capabilities.
This new architecture has been dubbed the High Capacity Find,
Fix, Track, Target, Engage, and Assess Constellation [HCF].
Further, the Committee understands that the Office of the
Director of National Intelligence [ODNI] and the Office of the
Undersecretary of Defense (Intelligence and Security) [USD
(I&S)] recently led a process to determine the classification
levels of data from the HCF, most notably proposing to mark
certain data unclassified, despite its origin from
traditionally classified government intelligence collection
systems.
The Committee is concerned that unless DOD and the IC also
plan to rely upon the robust U.S. commercial remote sensing
industry that already exists and which inherently provides
unclassified, shareable collection, the current approach to the
HCF architecture may have unintended negative consequences to
the United States' commercial sensing industrial base.
The Committee notes that United States' commercial remote
sensing policy as mandated in National Security Presidential
Directive 27 has a Stated goal to ``advance and protect our
National security and foreign policy interests by maintaining
the Nation's leadership in remote sensing space activities, and
by sustaining and enhancing the U.S. remote sensing industry.''
Further, the policy States that the United States Government
will ``rely to the maximum practical extent on U.S. commercial
remote sensing space capabilities for filling imagery and
geospatial needs for military, intelligence, foreign policy,
homeland security, and civil users.'' Further, the Committee
notes that the Department of Defense's Commercial Space
Integration Strategy, released in 2024, adopts three categories
for organizing the integration of commercial space solutions,
one of which is a hybrid government/commercial solution. In
mission sets aligned to this category, including the
Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance mission area,
the strategy States that the ``commercial sector is well suited
to perform functions within these mission areas''. To continue
to enhance the strength of the commercial remote sensing
industrial base and our Nation's ability to be the premier
global provider of these services, it is imperative that
government programs integrate these capabilities.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Comptroller General to
conduct an analysis of the government's space-based GEOINT
architecture including the HCF constellation and commercial
augmentation. Not later than 90 days following enactment of
this act, the Comptroller general shall submit an interim
report to the congressional defense committees and the
congressional intelligence committees that characterizes the
following: the current and planned systems within the HCF; a
summary of the acquisition and contracting strategies planned
for each; the requirements driving the development of each
system citing the relevant documentation; a capabilities
description of each system; a life-cycle cost assessment of
each system currently operational or in development; a
comparison of current and future HCF requirements against those
of current operational and developmental commercial space
solutions; and an assessment of the annual commercial services
providing HCF-like capability; Not later than 180 days
following the enactment of this act, the Comptroller General
shall submit its final report to the congressional defense
committees and the congressional intelligence committees. The
report may be submitted in a classified format, but shall be
accompanied by an unclassified summary of the findings.
Cislunar.--The Committee notes that the National Cislunar
Science and Technology Strategy released in November 2022
outlines four National objectives for cislunar space. The
Department of Defense is co-lead on one of the four objectives
that aims to extend space situational awareness capabilities
into cislunar space. While the Committee recognizes that there
have been some investments in this area, mainly space domain
awareness and novel propulsion technologies, these efforts have
largely been funded through congressional increases. The
Committee notes that in the fiscal year 2023 Cislunar Space
Acquisition Report submitted by the Department of the Air
Force, the Fiscal Year 2024 Future Years Defense Program budget
was listed at $132,100,000 for seven distinct projects, all of
which were for early developmental or pathfinder projects, with
no plans for sustained operational capability, or technological
breakthroughs to enhance the Department's ability to operate on
the lunar surface, or cislunar and deep space. Therefore, the
Committee once again encourages the Secretary of the Air Force
to increase investment in cislunar activities.
Further, the Committee recognizes that traditional solar
array technologies for space vehicle power generation provide
limited power sourcing, degrade over time, and can increase
radar signature. The Committee notes that nuclear electric
propulsion technology using a near-term fission system has the
potential to increase the lifespan, range, and communications
capabilities of space vehicles enabling the Space Force to
develop new space architectures, as well as modified tactics,
techniques, and procedures for operation within existing
architectures. Therefore, the Committee encourages the
Assistant Secretary for Space Acquisition and Integration to
increase its investment in the maturation of nuclear propulsion
technologies. The Committee recommends an additional
$515,000,000 in base and emergency resources to accelerate
development of space nuclear propulsion technologies in an
effort to provide our Nation with a reliable energy source for
spacecraft that is essential for long-term, sustained
operations in all orbits, including cislunar space and beyond.
Space Training and Readiness Command.--The Committee
commends the decision by the Secretary of the Air Force to
approve the final basing decision for Space Training and
Readiness Command [STARCOM]. As the U.S. Space Force begins to
move facilities and other capabilities to STARCOM's permanent
headquarters, the Secretary of the Air Force is encouraged to
take advantage of various Federal, State, and local resources,
including partnerships with academia and public-private
partners to expedite and support various requirements.

Office of the Undersecretary of Defense (Research and
Engineering) prototyping efforts.--The Committee is concerned
that the Office of the Undersecretary of Defense for Research
and Engineering [OUSD R&E] is shifting its emphasis to
undertaking prototyping activities beyond the duties and
authorities prescribed in Section 133a(b) of title 10, United
States Code, including an increasing level of system-level and
system-of-systems prototyping and contracting for end-items.
The Committee believes this office's resources would be more
appropriately allocated in the oversight of defense-wide
science and technology [S&T] and research and development [R&D]
activities, the conduct of holistic assessments on contemplated
and existing Service technologies, understanding how these
technologies will in turn shape the joint force, and issuance
of department-wide guidance on S&T and R&D priorities.
It is the Committee's view that each of the Services retain
the authority to develop specific system-level prototypes and
end-items for their respective users, while a key OUSD R&E role
is to look across the full breadth of the Department's planned
technology maturation activities to identify gaps and
opportunities. It is the Committee's position that the OUSD R&E
should prioritize the conduct of joint S&T and R&D analysis,
including assisting in identifying and resolving multi-Service
technological challenges.
Accordingly, the Committee recommends several targeted
realignments and reductions to initiatives proposed by the OUSD
R&E in fiscal year 2025. Notwithstanding these reductions, the
Committee acknowledges that the changing nature of warfare
necessitates significant focus on the S&T and R&D of joint
capabilities. However, it is the Committee's position that the
development and fielding of these capabilities should be rooted
in acquisition best practices under the leadership of one of
the Department's Acquisition Executives in accordance with the
authorities provided to the Department from the Congress.
The Defense Advanced Research Project Agency's Financial
Management Practices and Budget Line Consolidation.--Since its
establishment in 1958, the Defense Advanced Research Project
Agency [DARPA] has invented and matured countless technologies
that have enabled great leaps forward for our National defense.
The Committee remains supportive of the critical research DARPA
conducts.
It has come to the Committee's attention that DARPA has
routinely under-budgeted for indirect costs and anticipated
program initiation costs, despite these costs being realized
within the year of execution. Instead, DARPA has funded these
costs by cutting funding from dozens of underperforming
programs in any given year, while continuing to represent to
the congressional defense committees that appropriated and
requested funds were supporting the originally requested
efforts. For example, in fiscal year 2024, DARPA anticipates
approximately one-third of the resources appropriated for
applied research in microelectronics will instead be applied to
agency-wide indirect costs that were not budgeted. Overall,
more than 10 percent of total agency resources in fiscal year
2024 will be spent on indirect costs that were not requested,
rather than the core science and technology research program.
DARPA officials have communicated to the Committee that its
current approach to budgeting allows the agency to retain more
flexibility within their year-of-execution profile and
terminate research projects not delivering results, thus
avoiding reprogramming actions and optimizing available
resources. In the interest of enabling DARPA to continue its
innovative work and at the agency's request, the Committee's
recommendation includes a series of functional transfers to
consolidate science and technology research program efforts.
This results in a 60 percent reduction in the number of DARPA
budget line program elements, simplifying accounting and
operations.
However, the Committee remains concerned that DARPA's true
operating costs are not being appropriately budgeted.
Therefore, not later than September 30, 2024, the Director of
the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency shall brief the
congressional defense committees on projected indirect costs
for fiscal year 2025, and present a plan for realigning such
costs to DARPA's management support program element.
Further, the Committee directs the Comptroller General of
the United States to conduct quarterly audits of DARPA's
financial management practices and accounting data, to include
an assessment of the extent to which the science and technology
research program and management support costs are appropriately
captured in internal financial accounting systems and
documents, as well as in the materials presented to the
congressional defense committees. Such audits shall also
include an evaluation of adherence to best practices and
recommendations for improvement. The Comptroller General of the
United States shall provide the results of the first such
quarterly audit not later than December 1, 2024.
Joint All Domain Command and Control.--The Department of
Defense Appropriations Act, 2024 (Public Law 118-47),
consolidated defense-wide Joint All-Domain Command and Control
[JADC2] resources into a single program element and directed
the Undersecretary of Defense (Acquisition and Sustainment) to
provide a spend plan as well as a resourcing and programming
strategy for investment in JADC2 fires and common enterprise-
level capabilities. While the Department of Defense has matured
its ability to track defense-wide resources allocated in
support of JADC2 efforts, it has yet to present an acquisition
and programming strategy that documents its plans to deliver
specific capabilities in response to codified user
requirements. Moreover, it is not clear that the Department's
work on long-range fire kill webs is sufficiently integrated
into the broader JADC2 enterprise, potentially limiting the
efficacy of any enterprise-wide solution. Specifically, the
Committee commends the work of the Joint Long Range Fires
Office [JLO] and believes any JADC2 architecture must be fully
integrated with and incorporate the evolving findings of the
JLO.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Deputy Secretary of
Defense to, not later than 60 days after the enactment of this
act, deliver a comprehensive JADC2 and JLO acquisition and
programming strategy, accompanied by supporting spend plans, to
the congressional defense committees.
Joint Fires Network.--The Committee notes that the fiscal
year 2025 President's budget request includes funding for a
Joint Fires Network [JFN], which the Commander, U.S. Indo-
Pacific Command has identified as a high-priority requirement.
Before the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate in March
2024, the previous Commander testified that JFN experimentation
was conducted in three joint exercise and experimentation
venues in 2023 scaling up from eight nodes in NORTHERN EDGE 23-
1 to 20 nodes in NORTHERN EDGE 23-2, and most recently, a JFN
live fire demonstration occurred during VALIANT SHIELD 2024 and
intended to deliver an initial JFN combat credible capability
to the Joint Force.
Given the critical warfighting importance of JFN and
related efforts, the Committee believes that, as JFN and other
Joint All-Domain Command and Control [JADC2] and Joint Long
Range Fires [JLRF] initiatives mature to deliver combat
credible capabilities to the Joint Force, the operational
effectiveness and operational suitability under realistic
operational conditions of such initiatives must be
independently assessed.
Accordingly, beginning on November 1, 2024, the Committee
directs the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation to submit
semi-annual reports directly to the congressional defense
committees that evaluate the operational effectiveness and
operational suitability of JFN and other JADC2 and JLRF
initiatives as determined by the Director. In the case of the
first report, the Director shall submit a baseline assessment
of such initiatives through and including the VALIANT SHIELD
2024 exercise. Each subsequent report shall evaluate the
activities of such initiatives subsequent to the activities
covered in the previous report. The Committee directs the
Secretary of Defense and each of the Service Secretaries to
make available in a timely manner to the Director and his staff
such information as the Director deems necessary to complete
such reports. These reports shall continue until the JFN,
JADC2, and JLRF are deemed by the Under Secretary of Defense
(Acquisition and Sustainment) to have reached Full Operational
Capability.
International Innovation Initiatives.--The President's
fiscal year 2025 budget request includes $125,680,000 in the
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide
account for International Innovation Initiatives. This is
$113,180,000 more than the fiscal year 2024 enacted budget. The
preponderance of resources aligned against this effort support
the Australia, United Kingdom, and United States' security
partnership's Pillar II effort, which is focused on promoting
joint emerging technology maturation.
The Committee strongly supports practical, results-based
collaboration between the United States and two of its closest
allies, but assesses that the President's budget request could
have aligned resources more efficiently to enable swifter
execution. The United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia
have a history of collaborative defense programs and innovation
spanning decades, producing some of the most important
advancements in defense technology since World War II. This
collaboration has largely existed at the agency and program
level. In response to Committee inquiries, the Office of the
Secretary of Defense was unable to identify which specific
entities within the Department of Defense would execute the
requested funds. Therefore, in instances where specific program
offices were identified and the requested funding appeared
executable to the Committee, funds were transferred to that
Program Element for execution by the appropriate military
service. If these criteria were not met, the requested funding
was redirected to other Department of Defense priorities.
The Committee is concerned that centralizing this one
portion of international innovation within a single entity in
the Office of the Secretary of Defense could result in
duplication and sub-optimization of the related important
technology maturation and prototyping work being conducted
within the Services and defense agencies, whom are ultimately
responsible for maturing and fielding developed technologies.
The Committee looks forward to future engagements with the
Undersecretary of Defense (Research and Engineering) and the
Undersecretary of Defense (Policy) to identify mechanisms to
enhance allied engagement with entities responsible for
prototype and program development within the Department of
Defense.
Advancing Analytics [ADVANA].--The Committee acknowledges
the value of the Department of Defense's Advancing Analytics
[ADVANA] platform and makes a series of recommendations to
improve the execution of resources and strengthen program
management. The fiscal year 2025 President's budget request
includes resources for the Chief Digital and Artificial
Intelligence Office's [CDAO] Advancing Analytics program
[ADVANA] within the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation,
Defense-Wide, as well as Operation and Maintenance, Defense-
Wide accounts. The Committee's recommendation realigns
$412,058,000 for ADVANA to budget activity 08 and directs that
the CDAO shall only use the resources provided in that budget
line to support ADVANA's work. In addition to the reporting
requirements included in ``Software and Digital Technology
Pilot Programs,'' included elsewhere in this report, the CDAO
is directed to provide quarterly reports to the congressional
defense committees on ADVANA's resourcing, programmatic
objectives, and acquisition strategy.
Defense Innovation Unit OnRamp Hubs.--The Defense
Innovation Unit [DIU] OnRamp Hubs are important venues for the
Department of Defense to engage with non-traditional industry
performers located across the Nation. The Committee strongly
supports the Department's efforts to increase external
engagement with a regionally diverse set of industry partners
and sees the DIU OnRamp Hubs as key enablers of this objective.
However, the Committee is disappointed that the fiscal year
2025 President's budget request does not request funds to
sustain these efforts. Therefore, the Committee directs the
Director of the Defense Innovation Unit, in coordination with
the Undersecretary of Defense (Comptroller), to, not later than
60 days following the enactment of this act, review funding for
Defense Innovation Unit OnRamp Hubs across the Future Years
Defense Program and brief the congressional defense committees
on a plan to allocate resources towards this capability.
Secure Shipping Containers.--The Committee notes that
Presidential Determination Number 2017-09 underscores the
critical shortfalls in secure hybrid composite shipping
container industrial capacity and notes that the United States
defense industrial base cannot reasonably be expected to
provide this capability in a timely manner without further
action. The Committee is concerned that insufficient progress
has been made in established policy and regulations to
implement this determination since its publication in June
2017. At a minimum, the Committee believes that Department of
Defense should update the requirements covering the secure
maritime shipment of Department of Defense or Department of
Defense contractor equipment that is capable of transmitting,
receiving, processing, or storing Top Secret or Special Access
Program controlled information. The updated requirements should
take into account the new and improved secure shipping
capabilities established under Presidential Determination
Number 2017-09 and specify, for each of the various types of
covered equipment, threshold and objective values including
location tracking, tampering alerts, intrusion detection, and
false alarm probability. Accordingly, the Committee directs the
Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of
Homeland Security, to brief the congressional defense
committees, not later than 90 days after enactment of this act
on existing policy and requirements for shipping such equipment
and potential new or additional policy and requirements options
that would implement the intent of the Presidential
Determination, improving the security of such equipment before,
during, and after maritime shipment.
Domestic rare earth permanent magnet recycling capacity.--
The Committee is concerned about the security of rare earth
permanent magnet supply chains, given the reliance on foreign
sources for rare earth elements. The United States has not
invested in a diverse supply of rare earths despite the
dominance of adversaries and competitors in the global
marketplace. The Committee encourages the Department to explore
a rare earth permanent magnet recycling at a domestic facility
capable of processing all types of rare earth permanent
magnets.
5G Interference Risk Mitigation.--The Committee understands
that the deployment of 5G networks across the country and
abroad are vulnerable to unintentional and intentional
interference. As 5G continues to expand across the globe, the
potential for interference in US military operations by our
adversaries becomes even more at risk. The committee
understands an advanced radio-frequency [RF] architecture known
as the Wideband Adaptive Signal Processer [WASP], which enables
broadband Simultaneous Transmit And Receive [STAR] capability,
has been demonstrated in government-controlled test
environments for multiple Department of Defense applications.
Therefore, the committee directs the Director, Test Resource
Management Center to submit to the congressional defense
committees a report, not later than 60 days after the enactment
of this act, detailing the efforts to mitigate 5G interference
utilizing WASP-based STAR technology.
Low-profile Persistent Power for Satellites.--The Committee
supports Department of Defense programs that improve
operational effectiveness via targeted operational energy
technology investments. The Department's multi-domain mission
success requires the development of high-density, persistent
power sources. The Committee encourages the development of
radioisotope power systems that are capable of providing
lightweight, always-on, resilient power to increase the
capabilities of Department spacecraft. These capabilities will
enable greater competition with China and Russia in space.
Advanced node Semiconductor Technologies.--The Committee is
aware that new emerging technologies may allow for the
development of advanced-node semiconductors utilizing existing
trailing-edge semiconductor foundries through a new category of
logic and memory that is three to four times denser than
current state-of-the-art within two-to-three years. As such,
the Committee encourages further development and exploration of
accelerating such technologies.
Integrated Photonics and Optics Innovation Hub.--The
Committee recognizes the critical need for a strong domestic
microelectronics manufacturing capability for both national
security and economic reasons. Therefore, the Committee
encourages the Microelectronics Commons program to explore the
advancement of photonics-based microelectronic technologies for
the Department.
Quantum Science and Information Center.--The Committee
recognizes the importance of the development of a Quantum
Science and Information Center integrating regional
universities and defense divisions and encourages the
Department of Defense to prioritize funding for such an
initiative.
Advancing Cognitive AI Technologies.--The Committee
encourages the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence
Officer [CDAO] to further explore the application of cognitive
AI technologies. The Committee is aware of initial advances
within critical areas including Air Operations Centers and
document classification operations and supports the CDAO
exploring pathways for future sustainment of these
capabilities.
Industrial Base Expansion for Next-Generation
Aerostructures.--In line with the National Defense Industrial
Strategy, the Committee encourages the Department of Defense to
expand the aerostructures supply base. As the Department is
preparing for a generational ramp-up in demand for new capacity
across the Army, Navy, and Air Force, additional funding will
be required to support aerostructure supplier industrial base
health, capacity, and manufacturing equipment, as well as
enabling the expanded use of automation, digitization, and
advanced assembly techniques.
Regional Partnerships for Defense Supply Chain
Enhancement.--The Committee understands the need to establish
public-private partnerships to address regional defense supply
chain deficiencies. The Committee recommends that these
partnerships strive to enhance and sustain supply chain
resiliency by advancing the use of state-of-the-art
manufacturing technologies and a digitally connected regional
supply chain ecosystem that maximizes the participation of
small- and medium-sized manufacturer suppliers. The Committee
encourages the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Industrial Base
Policy) to continue prioritizing the development of public-
private partnerships that emphasize the creation and
maintenance of a skilled workforce.
Soy-based Firefighting Foam.--The Committee notes the
opportunity soy-based firefighting foam presents to reduce
dependence on foams containing harmful substances and to
increase the use of safer and sustainably-sourced firefighting
foams. The Committee encourages the Department to investigate
ways to test soy-based firefighting foams for potential
military applications.
Underexplored Systems for Utility-Scale Quantum
Computing.--The Committee recognizes the importance of the
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's [DARPA]
Underexplored Systems for Utility-Scale Quantum Computing
[US2QC] program and is encouraged by the significant progress
made in demonstrating the technical feasibility of fault-
tolerant utility-scale operations. Given the significant
capital investments required for fault-tolerant, utility-scale
systems, the Committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to
begin planning for project transition, supporting
infrastructure and follow-on US2QC programs and directs the
Secretary to provide a briefing to the congressional defense
committees on this effort not later than 60 days after
enactment of this act.
Department of Defense Vehicle Fleet.--Not later than 180
days after the enactment of this act, the Secretary of Defense
shall provide a report to the congressional defense committees
that identifies the number of Department ground vehicles that
run on electricity, low carbon fuels, gasoline, and diesel
fuel. The report shall further identify the missions supported
and vehicle shortfalls, as applicable, for each category.
Use of 6PPD in Tires.--The Committee directs the Secretary
of Defense to submit a report, not later than 180 days after
the date of the enactment of this act, on the use of the
chemical N-(1,3-dimethylbutyl)-N-phenyl-p-phenylenediamine
[6PPD] in the design and production of tires procured by the
Department of Defense. The report shall include a listing of
Department of Defense initiatives, if any, researching
potential alternatives to 6PPD in tire production.

Certification of Funding for Test Infrastructure and Test
Event Resources.--The Department of Defense's component and
Service acquisition executives are directed to (1) certify to
the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation [DOT&E], that the
Department of Defense's and Services' test infrastructure,
assets, and personnel are fully funded in the budget year and
the Future Years Defense Program to support agreed-upon Test
and Evaluation Master Plans, Test and Evaluation Strategies or
equivalent documents for programs on the DOT&E Oversight List;
and (2) provide this certification in the format, defined by
the Director, not later than 60 days prior to the submission of
the fiscal year 2026 President's budget request. The Director,
Operational Test and Evaluation, is directed to provide an
assessment to the congressional defense committees with
submission of the fiscal year 2026 President's budget request
on whether or not the test infrastructure, assets, and
personnel funding in the budget year and the Future Years
Defense Program can adequately support agreed-upon test and
evaluation programs and identify where applicable-shortfalls by
service and program.
Sufficiency of Test Resources.--The Committee recognizes
the importance of test and evaluation [T&E] plans to ensure
Department of Defense systems perform satisfactorily in
operationally relevant conditions. Therefore, the Committee
directs each of the Department's component and Service
acquisition executives to ensure T&E documents such as master
plans, strategies, and plans detail the resources required to
support adequate testing and evaluation of operational
effectiveness, suitability, survivability, and lethality (as
applicable) of Department systems and services acquired via the
Defense Acquisition System or via other non-standard
acquisition systems. The T&E resources detailed shall include
physical and virtual test range capabilities, digital tools,
threats, targets, and the projected workforce requirements. The
respective acquisition executive, in coordination with Director
of Operational Test and Evaluation, shall report to the
congressional defense committees, in writing, within 30 days of
a deviation from an approved test and evaluation document that
occurred due to insufficient T&E resources. Each such report
shall include the test event or events that cannot be executed
due to such insufficient resources, a description of the
insufficient resources, and the revised cost and schedule to
complete such event or events. The Committee further directs an
assessment of the effect of identified insufficient T&E
resources be included, when applicable, in reports issued by
the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation.

Military Health System.--The Committee notes the Department
of Defense's efforts to rebuild and stabilize the Military
Health System to deliver high-quality care to its 2.8 million
direct care beneficiaries. The Committee supports this
stabilization effort, which will improve access to care for
servicemembers and other beneficiaries, increase the clinical
military readiness of the medical force, and support the
medical readiness of the overall force. The Committee further
recognizes that increased medical staffing in the military
treatment facilities is critical to this stabilization effort.
Therefore, the Committee recommends a robust funding level in
fiscal year 2025 for In-House Care.
Defense Health Program Reprogramming Procedures.--To limit
the amount of transfers between the In-House Care and the
Private Sector Care budget subactivities, and to continue to
improve oversight within the Defense Health Program operation
and maintenance account, the Committee includes a provision
which caps the funds available for Private Sector Care under
the TRICARE program subject to prior approval reprogramming
procedures. The provision and accompanying report language
shall not be interpreted by the Department of Defense as
limiting the amount of funds that may be transferred to the
Direct Care System from other budget activities within the
Defense Health Program. In addition, funding for the In-House
Care and Private Sector Care budget subactivities are
designated as congressional special interest items for the
purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414). Any
transfer of funds in excess of $15,000,000 into or out of these
sub-activities requires the Secretary of Defense to follow
prior approval reprogramming procedures.
The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide
written notification to the congressional defense committees of
cumulative transfers in excess of $15,000,000 out of the
Private Sector Care budget subactivity not later than 15 days
after such a transfer. The Committee further directs the
Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to provide
quarterly briefings to the congressional defense committees on
budget execution data for all of the Defense Health Program
budget activities not later than 30 days after the end of each
fiscal quarter, and to adequately reflect changes to the budget
activities requested by the Services in future budget
submissions.
Carryover.--For fiscal year 2025, the Committee recommends
1 percent carryover authority for the operation and maintenance
account of the Defense Health Program, consistent with prior
years. The Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense
(Health Affairs) to submit a detailed spend plan for any fiscal
year 2024 designated carryover funds to the congressional
defense committees not less than 30 days prior to executing the
carryover funds.
Electronic Health Record.--The Committee notes that
Military Health System [MHS] GENESIS is now fully deployed
supporting 9.6 million beneficiaries, and that the Defense
Health Agency has transitioned to a metrics-based enhancement
phase for Department of Defense practitioners and these
beneficiaries. The Committee directs the Program Executive
Officer, Defense Healthcare Management Systems [PEO DHMS], to
continue to provide monthly reports not later than 15 days
after the end of each month to the congressional defense
committees on the status of all open incident reports, as well
as any high priority incident reports that remain open. The
Committee also directs the PEO DHMS, in conjunction with the
Director of the Federal Electronic Health Record Modernization
[FEHRM] and the Director of the Defense Health Agency, to
provide quarterly reports not later than 30 days after the end
of each fiscal quarter to the congressional defense committees
and the Government Accountability Office on the cost and
schedule of the program, system performance, patient safety
incidents and mitigations, metrics to include clinician and
patient satisfaction, milestones, knowledge points, and
acquisition timelines, as well as quarterly obligation reports.
The Committee further directs the PEO DHMS to continue briefing
the Committees on Appropriations of the House of
Representatives and the Senate on a quarterly basis,
immediately following the report submission.
In addition, the Committee directs the Comptroller General
to continue quarterly performance reviews of the deployment of
MHS GENESIS with a focus on whether the program is meeting
expected cost, schedule, scope, quality and safety standards,
performance, clinician and patient satisfaction and risk
mitigation expectations. The Committee expects PEO DHMS to
facilitate these quarterly performance reviews by providing the
Comptroller General with regular and in-depth access to the
program.
The Committee directs the Director of the FEHRM to continue
to provide quarterly reports to the House of Representatives
and Senate Subcommittees on Appropriations for Defense and
Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies
on the progress of interoperability between the two Departments
as well as with other Federal and non-Federal health providers,
networks, and systems.
Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program.--The Committee
recommends $370,000,000 for the Peer-Reviewed Medical Research
Program. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in
conjunction with the Service Surgeons General, to select
medical research projects of clear scientific merit and direct
relevance to military health. Research areas considered under
this funding are restricted to: Angelman syndrome; autism; burn
pit exposure; cardiac health; celiac disease; congenital
cytomegalovirus; congenital heart disease; dystonia; eating
disorders; eczema; Ehlers-Danlos syndrome; endometriosis;
epidermolysis bullosa; far-UVC germicidal light; fibrous
dysplasia/McCune-Albright syndrome; focal segmental
glomerulosclerosis; food allergies; Fragile X; frontotemporal
degeneration; Guillain-Barre syndrome; hepatitis B; hereditary
and acquired ataxias; Hermansky-Pudlack syndrome;
hydrocephalus; inflammatory bowel disease; interstitial
cystitis; malaria; maternal mental health; menopause;
mitochondrial disease; multiple sclerosis; myalgic
encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome; myotonic dystrophy;
nephrotic syndrome; neurofibromatosis; orthotics and
prosthetics outcomes; pancreatitis; Parkinson's; peripheral
neuropathy; polycystic kidney disease; post-acute sequelae of
SARS CoV-2 infection; proteomics; pulmonary fibrosis;
reconstructive transplantation; respiratory health; Rett
syndrome; scleroderma; sickle cell disease; sleep disorders and
restriction; suicide prevention; tick-borne disease; traumatic
brain injury and psychological health; tuberculosis; tuberous
sclerosis complex; vision; and von Hippel-Lindau disease. The
Committee emphasizes that the additional funding provided under
the Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program shall be devoted
only to the purposes listed above.
Peer-Reviewed Cancer Research Programs.--The Committee
recommends $130,000,000 for the peer-reviewed breast cancer
research program, $75,000,000 for the peer-reviewed prostate
cancer research program, $40,000,000 for a peer-reviewed
melanoma research program, $15,000,000 for the peer-reviewed
ovarian cancer research program, $17,500,000 for a peer-
reviewed rare cancers research program, and $130,000,000 for
the peer-reviewed cancer research program that would research
cancers not addressed in the aforementioned programs currently
executed by the Department of Defense.
The funds provided in the peer-reviewed cancer research
program are directed to be used to conduct research in the
following areas: bladder cancer; blood cancers; brain cancer;
colorectal cancer; endometrial cancer; esophageal cancer; germ
cell cancers; kidney cancer; liver cancer; lung cancer;
lymphoma; mesothelioma; neuroblastoma; neuroendocrine tumors;
pancreatic cancer; pediatric brain tumors; pediatric,
adolescent, and young adult cancers; sarcoma; stomach cancer;
and thyroid cancer.
The funds provided under the peer-reviewed cancer research
program shall be used only for the purposes listed above. The
Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health
Affairs) to provide a report not later than 18 months after the
enactment of this act to the congressional defense committees
on the status of the peer-reviewed cancer research program. For
each research area, the report shall include the funding amount
awarded, the progress of the research, and the relevance of the
research to servicemembers.
Maternal Health Care in the Military Health System.--The
Committee is concerned about the barriers to maternal
healthcare for servicemembers and their spouses within the
Military Health System including access to prenatal care, labor
and delivery, and postpartum care. The Committee notes that the
restructuring of military treatment facilities further limited
the availability of maternal healthcare. Therefore, the
Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report
to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of
Representatives and the Senate not later than 120 days after
enactment of this act including the following: (1) an analysis
of the availability of maternal healthcare for servicemembers
and their spouses who access the Military Health System through
such facilities; (2) the short and long-term actions being
taken to address each barriers and increase access to maternal
healthcare by the Defense Health Agency and the military
services; (3) the costs associated with the implementation of
these measures; and (4) potential funding sources in future
budget requests.
Medical Research to Support Military Families.--The
Committee recognizes the importance of military family health
and well-being to servicemember readiness and morale and
commends the Defense Health Agency for previous investments in
the family and resilience portfolio. The Committee recommends
an additional $15,000,000 for medical research to support
military families and directs the Assistant Secretary of
Defense (Health Affairs) to collaborate with institutions of
higher education, Federal agencies, and non-profit entities
that have robust research and clinical expertise with illness
and conditions that have material effect on military family
health and well-being, including, but not limited to adverse
childhood events, menopause and mid-life women's health,
medical barriers to growing and supporting families, mental and
behavioral health, substance use disorders, and gender-specific
healthcare. The Committee further directs the Assistant
Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to brief the Committees
on Appropriations on the House of Representatives and the
Senate on the plan for research in these areas, including an
expected timeline for the research, not later than 90 days
after enactment of this act. Finally, the Assistant Secretary
of Defense (Health Affairs) shall submit a report to the
Committees on Appropriations on the House of Representatives
and the Senate not later than 120 days after enactment of this
act on the status of the research being done on menopause and
mid-life women's health.
Multigenerational Impact of Toxic Exposures.--The Committee
recommends $15,000,000 for the Toxic Exposures Research Program
[TERP] to support research on the impacts of military toxic
exposures. The Committee recognizes that servicemembers exposed
to toxic substances during their military service are more
likely to develop certain medical conditions, such as rare
cancers, heart conditions, and chronic lung ailments, as a
direct result of their toxic exposure. The Committee further
recognizes that descendants of these toxic exposed
servicemembers are also more likely to experience conditions
related to their parents' or grandparents' exposure to toxic
substances. While there has been some research on the link
between birth defects and the multigenerational impacts of
exposure to toxic substances, the Committee believes more must
be done. Therefore, the Committee directs the Assistant
Secretary (Health Affairs) in coordination with the Director of
the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs to
increase the number of TERP funded studies that evaluate how
toxic exposures impact the descendants of toxic exposed
servicemembers and veterans.
Alzheimer's Therapies.--The Committee is concerned that
TRICARE continues to explicitly exclude from coverage
monoclonal antibodies for the prevention, treatment, or
mitigation of symptoms related to mild cognitive impairment or
Alzheimer's disease despite the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration [FDA] approval and unequivocal evidence
confirmed by the scientific community. The Committee recognizes
that approval of a treatment by the FDA does not guarantee
coverage under TRICARE, but notes that the health plan's
current coverage policy, which specifically excludes specific
treatments, is outdated and unwarranted. Given the progressive
nature of Alzheimer's disease, the Committee encourages the
Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to update the
TRICARE manual, Chapter 7 Section 15.1, Change 99 dated May 24,
2022 to align with the current science.
Peer-Reviewed Hydrocephalus Research Program.--The
Committee is concerned about the large number of servicemembers
at risk of developing hydrocephalus due to traumatic brain
injury or other causes. Unfortunately, many of these cases are
undiagnosed or misdiagnosed as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, or
another related dementia. Therefore, the Committee encourages
the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to further
its research into hydrocephalus for which there is no known
cure.
Peer-Reviewed Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Research.--The
Committee is aware of promising research underway through the
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis [ALS] Research Program. The
Committee recognizes that servicemembers are up to twice as
likely to develop and die from ALS as those with no history of
military service. Therefore, the Committee encourages the
Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to prioritize
clinical research and specifically, early phase clinical trials
that can bring effective treatments to servicemembers and
civilians living with ALS.
Peer-Reviewed Epilepsy Research Program.--The Committee is
aware that servicemembers and veterans can acquire epilepsy
through a variety of means, but often times, traumatic brain
injury [TBI] causes seizures to start which leads to a
diagnosis of post-traumatic epilepsy [PTE]. The Epilepsy
Research Program was initiated in 2015 to better understand the
genesis and progression of PTE in order to improve prevention
and treatment of it. The Committee encourages the Assistant
Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to prioritize the
following topics within the Epilepsy Research Program:
identifying biomarkers or mechanisms of PTE; epidemiological
characterization of PTE following TBI; longitudinal studies of
the evolution of PTE; and understanding and improving the
quality of life of individuals with PTE.
Peer-Reviewed Orthotics and Prosthetics Outcomes Research
Program.--The Committee encourages the Assistant Secretary of
Defense (Health Affairs) to continue research on orthotics and
prosthetics outcomes and improve care for servicemembers and
others with limb loss and impairment. The Committee further
encourages the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs)
to include evidence-based practices that can evaluate which
orthotic and prosthetic interventions can provide the most
improvement in servicemembers' health status, functionality,
quality of life, and be consistent with the Orthotics and
Prosthetics Outcomes Research Program long-range strategic plan
published by the Congressionally Directed Medical Research
Programs in 2023.
Rapid Traumatic Brain Injury Screening.--The Committee is
concerned that the most recent Department of Defense Office of
Inspector General report, Evaluation of the DoD's Management of
Traumatic Brain Injury, from March 2023, found that the
Department of Defense did not consistently implement policies
and procedures to determine the care needed for servicemembers
with traumatic brain injury [TBI]. The report concluded that
the Department of Defense is unable to accurately identify,
treat, and track incidents of TBI among the military services.
The Committee urges the Assistant Secretary of Defense
(Health Affairs) to make the rapid and accurate identification
of TBI, both in combat and training, a top priority of the
Defense Health Agency. Further, the Committee strongly
encourages the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs)
to take advantage of the availability of breakthrough point-of-
care diagnostic solutions. The Committee notes the need for
such a diagnostic tool for TBI testing as forward deployed
medical personnel are currently unable to adequately treat head
injuries, the most common injury on the battlefield. The
ability to rapidly and accurately assess brain injury with
point-of-care technology will greatly enhance the health of
servicemembers and military readiness.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of
Defense (Health Affairs) to allocate sufficient funding to
identify current gaps in screening and diagnosis of TBI, test
and deploy the most innovative TBI screening and diagnostic
tools to improve TBI assessment, and promote a better standard
of care for TBI sustained by servicemembers in training and
combat. The Committee further directs the Assistant Secretary
of Defense (Health Affairs) to provide a report on the status
of screening, diagnosis, and assessment of TBI among
servicemembers to the congressional defense committees not
later than 90 days after the enactment of this act.
Osteopathic Manipulative Medicine.--The Committee is aware
of research regarding the effectiveness of Osteopathic
Manipulative Medicine [OMM] in reducing acute low back pain in
active duty military personnel. This medicine is a non-
invasive, drug free treatment that can accelerate the recovery
time and reduce the need for opioid pain medication of
servicemembers, often at a cheaper cost burden to the Military
Health System. While the Committee understands that OMM has
been used to a limited degree in the Military Health System,
the Committee remains concerned that not enough is being done
to incorporate all methods of care to the armed forces.
Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to
provide a report to the Committees on Appropriations of the
House of Representatives and the Senate not later than 180 days
after enactment of this act, detailing how the Department of
Defense can enhance research into the efficacy of OMM in
treating servicemember pain and other combat-related injuries
and integrate OMM into the Military Health System.
Medical Defense Against Infectious Diseases.--The Committee
recognizes the value of the Department of Defense's development
of medical countermeasures for naturally occurring infectious
diseases, such as malaria, leishmaniasis, diarrheal diseases,
Dengue, and Chikungunya viruses which pose a significant threat
to the strategic access and operational effectiveness of
servicemembers deployed outside the United States. However, the
Committee is concerned with the Department of Defense's
decision to reduce funding for malaria, leishmaniasis, and
diarrheal research as these diseases remain top infectious
disease threats to servicemembers deployed abroad. Therefore,
the Committee encourages continued research to develop drugs,
tests, vaccines, and other medical countermeasures for malaria,
leishmaniasis, diarrheal diseases, and health security threats.
The Committee further encourages the Assistant Secretary of
Defense (Health Affairs) to partner with non-profit
organizations, academic institutions, Federal agencies, foreign
governments, and international agencies that have infectious
disease research programs.
Peer-Reviewed Endometriosis Research.--The Committee notes
that more than 6.5 million women in the United States have
endometriosis. Endometriosis is a disqualifying condition for
active duty servicemembers and may prevent women from serving
in the military. The Committee further notes that a typical
endometriosis diagnosis cannot be provided without exploratory
abdominal surgery and the common treatment for endometriosis
remains pain management. Therefore, the Committee encourages
the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to support
endometriosis research within the Peer-Reviewed Medical
Research Program with a specific focus on the efficacy of
excision surgical procedures in reducing the symptoms and
recurrence of endometriosis, and techniques for medical
procedures that reduce the need for multiple surgeries by
focusing on diagnosing and treating endometriosis by excision
within the same surgery. The Committee further encourages the
Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to partner with
research institutions seeking to perform complimentary
endometriosis research.
Nonaddictive Opioid Alternative.--The Committee is
concerned about the continued use of opioids in the military
for the treatment of pain. The Committee directs the Assistant
Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to provide a report to
the Committees on Appropriations of the House of
Representatives and the Senate and publicly post on its website
not later than 60 days after enactment of this act on steps the
Department of Defense will take to ensure that nonaddictive
alternatives to opioids are on the formulary. The report shall
include a timeline detailing when these medications will be
available to servicemembers once they have received U.S. Food
and Drug Administration approval.
Rapid Deployable Synthetic Vaccine Development.--The
Committee notes the significant advancements in vaccine
development and the need to quickly distribute infectious
disease counter-measures when required to protect
servicemembers deployed worldwide. The Committee directs the
Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to research the
development of low cost, single dose, and highly scalable
synthetic peptide vaccines that allow for rapid deployment to
military personnel against infectious disease threats.
Peer-Reviewed Menopause Research.--The Committee notes that
menopause related research pertaining to breast cancer is
currently eligible under the Breast Cancer Research Program.
The Committee further encourages the Assistant Secretary of
Defense (Health Affairs) to support menopause related research
under the Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program and to
exchange relevant research activities with the Director of the
National Institutes of Health.
Peer-Reviewed Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Research.--The
Committee has included tuberous sclerosis complex research as
part of the Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program and strongly
supports continued medical research funding focused on
identifying and developing effective treatments for this
condition afflicting an estimated 50,000 Americans.
Whole Blood Platelet Technologies.--The Committee
encourages the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs)
to support investments in whole blood platelet technologies.
The Committee notes that production of whole blood platelets
will enable pandemic preparedness and surge capacity during a
national disaster when platelet transfusion is required to
support injured patients in the civilian and military
population.
Peer-Reviewed Celiac Disease Research.--The Committee
recognizes the growing prevalence of celiac disease among
servicemembers and the lack of medication or cure for this
disease. Further, the Committee notes that celiac disease
increases the mortality risks for other diseases, including
cancer, cardiovascular disease, and respiratory disease, and
the risk for chronic illnesses. Therefore, the Committee
encourages the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs)
to prioritize celiac disease research to better understand the
magnitude of the problem and improve patient care and long-term
outcomes.
Partnerships With Academic Medical Centers for
Reconstructive Care.--The Committee recognizes that
servicemembers often face uniquely debilitating wounds that can
require complex care over a prolonged period. The Committee
further recognizes that academic medical centers are developing
multidisciplinary treatment and research programs centered on
advanced clinical care and novel research strategies aimed at
benefiting the injured servicemember. The large volume and
heightened complexity of reconstructive care provided at these
academic medical centers makes them well suited to augment the
reconstructive care available within the Military Health
System. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Assistant
Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to develop partnerships
with academic medical centers to provide improved access to
advanced reconstructive care for injured servicemembers, as
well as opportunities for surgical training in advanced
reconstructive techniques to include nerve reconstruction and
microsurgery.
Neuro-Rehabilitation Technologies.--The Committee
recognizes the Department of Defense's research, development,
and clinical activities supporting servicemember health,
readiness, and post-injury rehabilitation. The Committee notes
the Department of Defense's continued efforts to advance
rehabilitative technologies and interventions to improve
servicemember quality of life and help with the return to duty
following traumatic injuries impacting muscular and
neurological function. The Committee is aware of advances in
neuro-rehabilitative modalities, including cognitive and mental
wellness multidisciplinary care models using virtual reality
and immersive therapies capable of improving the effectiveness
of rehabilitative interventions for servicemembers and TRICARE
beneficiaries. Therefore, the Committee encourages the
Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to increase
research and development investments in neuro-rehabilitative
technologies. The Committee further encourages the Department
of Defense to partner with universities and academic medical
centers to advance next-generation neuro-rehabilitative
evaluation and treatment technologies.
Preemptive Health and Medicine Research.--The Committee
notes that the field of preemptive health research has the
potential to revolutionize the way the United States protects
against a wide range of infectious disease threats and the way
the country can prevent and preempt diseases such as diabetes,
cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders. This area of research
will improve our ability to maintain human health, identify
early signals of predisease, and intervene to keep
servicemembers and civilians from getting sick. Therefore, the
Committee encourages the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health
Affairs) to prioritize funding for preemptive health and
medicine research to detect and protect individuals against
infectious diseases or the onset of chronic diseases.
