                            KITS.

        It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) members of the Army face an increasingly complex and
            evolving threat environment that requires advanced and effective
            technology to protect soldiers while allowing the soldiers to
            effectively carry out the mission of the Army;
                (2) the heavy tactical vehicle protection kits program
            provides the Army with improved and necessary ballistic
            protection for the heavy tactical vehicle fleet;
                (3) a secure heavy tactical vehicle fleet provides the Army
            with greater logistical tractability and offers soldiers the
            necessary flexibility to tailor armor levels based on threat
            levels and mission requirements; and
                (4) as Congress provides for a modern and secure Army, it is
            necessary to provide the appropriate funding levels to meet the
            tactical wheeled vehicle protection kits acquisition objectives
            of the Army.

            The modified plan shall establish a specific savings objective

    [[Page 129 STAT. 800]]

                                    capabilities, and capacities while
                                    executing their requirements to

                    authority--
                              (i) to establish temporary or permanent
                          subordinate joint commands or headquarters,

                          officer qualification in order to ensure the
                          efficient and effective quality and quantity of
                          officers needed to staff headquarters functions
                          and services and return to the services officers
                          with required professional experience and skills
                          necessary to remain competitive for increased
                          responsibility and authority through subsequent
                          assignment or promotion, including by
                          identifying--
                                        (I) circumstances, if any, in which
                                    officers spend a disproportionate amount

                                    officer qualifications with
                                    corresponding loss of opportunities to
                                    develop in the service-specific
                                    assignments needed to gain the increased
                                    proficiency and experience to qualify
                                    for service and command assignments; and
                                        (II) circumstances, if any, in which
                                    the military departments detail officers
                                    to joint headquarters staffs in order to
                                    maximize the number of officers
                                    receiving joint duty credit with a focus
                                    on the quantity, instead of the quality,
                                    of officers achieving joint duty credit;
                              (v) to establish commanders' strategic
                          planning groups, advisory groups, or similar
                          parallel personal staff entities that could risk
                          isolating function and staff processes, including
                          an assessment of the justification used to
                          establish such personal staff organizations and
                          their impact on the effectiveness and efficiency
                          of organizational staff functions, services,
                          capabilities, and capacities; and
                              (vi) to ensure the identification and
                          management of officers serving or having served in
                          units in subordinate service component or joint
                          commands during combat operations and did not
                          receive joint credit for such service.
                (3) Consultation.--The Secretary shall, to the extent
            practicable and as the Secretary considers appropriate, conduct
            the review required by paragraph (1) in consultation with such

    [[Page 129 STAT. 801]]

            experts on matters covered by the review who are independent of
            the Department of Defense.
                (4) Report.--Not later than March 1, 2016, the Secretary
            shall submit to the congressional defense committees a report
            setting forth the results of the review required by paragraph
            (1).

            variety of national, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds that have
            roots all over the world.

            Christian, Hindu, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, non-denominational, non-
            practicing, and many more.

            religious traditions have lost their lives or been injured

            Forces, and service members from different backgrounds and
            religious traditions share the same goal of defending the United
            States.

        (e) Pilot Programs.--
                (1) Programs authorized.--After the reports required by

            subsections, the Secretary may, notwithstanding any requirement
            in chapter 147 of title 10, United States Code, conduct one or

            of processes and methods for achieving budget-neutrality in the
            delivery of commissary and exchange benefits and other
            applicable benchmarks in accordance with this section. The
            Secretary may authorize any commissary or exchange, or private
            sector entity, participating in any such pilot program to
            establish appropriate prices in response to market conditions
            and customer demand, provided that the level of savings required
            by paragraph (3) is maintained.
                (2) Benchmarks.--If the Secretary conducts a pilot program
            under this subsection, the Secretary shall establish specific,
            measurable benchmarks for measuring success in the provision of
            high quality grocery goods and products, discount savings to
            patrons, and high levels of customer satisfaction while
            achieving budget-neutrality in the delivery of commissary and
            exchange benefits under the pilot program.
                (3) Required savings to patrons.--The Secretary shall ensure
            that the level of savings to commissary and exchange patrons
            under any pilot program under this subsection is not less than
            the level of savings to such patrons before the implementation
            of such pilot program, as follows:
                        (A) Before commencing a pilot program the Secretary
                    shall establish a baseline of savings to patrons
                    achieved for each commissary or exchange to participate
                    in such pilot program by comparing prices charged by
                    such commissary or exchange for a representative market
                    basket of goods to prices charged by local competitors
                    for the same market basket of goods.
                        (B) After commencement of such pilot program, the
                    Secretary shall ensure that each commissary or exchange,
                    or private sector entity, participating in such pilot
                    program conducts market-basket price comparisons not
                    less than once a month and adjusts pricing as necessary
                    to ensure that pricing achieves savings to patrons under
                    such pilot

    [[Page 129 STAT. 856]]

                    program that are reasonably consistent with the baseline
                    savings for the commissary or exchange established
                    pursuant to subparagraph (A).
                (4) Duration of authority.--The authority of the Secretary
            to carry out a pilot program under this subsection shall expire
            on the date that is five years after the date of the enactment
            of this Act. However, if a pilot program achieves budget-
            neutrality in the delivery of commissary and exchange benefits
            and other applicable benchmarks, as measured using the
            benchmarks required by paragraph (2), the Secretary may continue
            the pilot program for an additional period of up to five years.
                (5) Reports.--
                        (A) Initial reports.--If the Secretary conducts a
                    pilot program under this subsection, the Secretary
                    shall, not later than 30 days before commencing the
                    pilot program, submit to the Committees on Armed
                    Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives
                    a report on the pilot program, including the following:
                              (i) A description of the pilot program.
                              (ii) The provisions, if any, of chapter 147 of
                          title 10, United States Code, that will be waived
                          in the conduct of the pilot program.

                    date of the completion of any pilot program under this
                    subsection or the date of the commencement of an
                    extension of a pilot program under paragraph (4), the

                          or legislative action as the Secretary considers

            services that, as determined in writing by the Secretary of
            Defense without delegation, are urgently needed to eliminate a
            deficiency that as the result of a cyber attack has resulted in
            critical mission failure, the loss of life, property
            destruction, or economic effects, or if left unfilled is likely
            to result in critical mission failure, the loss of life,
            property destruction, or economic effects, the Secretary may use
            the procedures developed under this section in order to
            accomplish the rapid acquisition and deployment of the needed
            offensive or defensive cyber capabilities, supplies, and

                            FOR RAPID PROTOTYPING AND RAPID FIELDING.

        (a) Guidance Required.--Not later than 180 days after the date of
    the enactment of this Act, the Under Secretary of Defense for
    Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics, in consultation with the
    Comptroller of the Department of Defense and the Vice Chairman of the
    Joint Chiefs of Staff, shall establish guidance for a ``middle tier'' of
    acquisition programs that are intended to be completed in a period of
    two to five years.
        (b) Acquisition Pathways.--The guidance required by subsection (a)
    shall cover the following two acquisition pathways:
                (1) Rapid prototyping.--The rapid prototyping pathway shall
            provide for the use of innovative technologies to rapidly
            develop fieldable prototypes to demonstrate new capabilities and
            meet emerging military needs. The objective of an acquisition
            program under this pathway shall be to field a prototype that
            can be demonstrated in an operational environment and provide
            for a residual operational capability within five years of the
            development of an approved requirement.

    [[Page 129 STAT. 883]]

                (2) Rapid fielding.--The rapid fielding pathway shall
            provide for the use of proven technologies to field production
            quantities of new or upgraded systems with minimal development
            required. The objective of an acquisition program under this
            pathway shall be to begin production within six months and
            complete fielding within five years of the development of an
            approved requirement.

        (c) Expedited Process.--
                (1) In general.--The guidance required by subsection (a)
            shall provide for a streamlined and coordinated requirements,
            budget, and acquisition process that results in the development
            of an approved requirement for each program in a period of not
            more than six months from the time that the process is
            initiated. Programs that are subject to the guidance shall not
            be subject to the Joint Capabilities Integration and Development
            System Manual and Department of Defense Directive 5000.01,
            except to the extent specifically provided in the guidance.
                (2) Rapid prototyping.--With respect to the rapid
            prototyping pathway, the guidance shall include--
                        (A) a merit-based process for the consideration of
                    innovative technologies and new capabilities to meet
                    needs communicated by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the
                    combatant commanders;
                        (B) a process for developing and implementing
                    acquisition and funding strategies for the program;
                        (C) a process for cost-sharing with the military
                    departments on rapid prototype projects, to ensure an
                    appropriate commitment to the success of such projects;
                        (D) a process for demonstrating and evaluating the
                    performance of fieldable prototypes developed pursuant
                    to the program in an operational environment; and
                        (E) a process for transitioning successful
                    prototypes to new or existing acquisition programs for
                    production and fielding under the rapid fielding pathway
                    or the traditional acquisition system.
                (3) Rapid fielding.--With respect to the rapid fielding
            pathway, the guidance shall include--
                        (A) a merit-based process for the consideration of
                    existing products and proven technologies to meet needs
                    communicated by the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the
                    combatant commanders;
                        (B) a process for demonstrating performance and
                    evaluating for current operational purposes the proposed
                    products and technologies;
                        (C) a process for developing and implementing
                    acquisition and funding strategies for the program; and
                        (D) a process for considering lifecycle costs and
                    addressing issues of logistics support and system
                    interoperability.
                (4) Streamlined procedures.--The guidance for the programs
            may provide for any of the following streamlined procedures:
                        (A) The service acquisition executive of the
                    military department concerned shall appoint a program
                    manager for such program from among candidates from
                    among civilian employees or members of the Armed Forces
                    who

    [[Page 129 STAT. 884]]

                    have significant and relevant experience managing large

                    military department concerned shall evaluate the job
                    performance of such manager on an annual basis. In
                    conducting an evaluation under this paragraph, a service
                    acquisition executive shall consider the extent to which
                    the manager has achieved the objectives of the program
                    for which the manager is responsible, including quality,
                    timeliness, and cost objectives.

                    program shall be authorized staff positions for a
                    technical staff, including experts in business
                    management, contracting, auditing, engineering, testing,
                    and logistics, to enable the manager to manage the
                    program without the technical assistance of another
                    organizational unit of an agency to the maximum extent
                    practicable.
                        (E) The program manager of a defense streamlined
                    program shall be authorized, in coordination with the
                    users of the equipment and capability to be acquired and
                    the test community, to make trade-offs among life-cycle
                    costs, requirements, and schedules to meet the goals of
                    the program.
                        (F) The service acquisition executive, acting in
                    coordination with the defense acquisition executive,
                    shall serve as the milestone decision authority for the
                    program.
                        (G) The program manager of a defense streamlined
                    program shall be provided a process to expeditiously
                    seek a waiver from Congress from any statutory or
                    regulatory requirement that the program manager
                    determines adds little or no value to the management of
                    the program.

        (d) Rapid Prototyping Fund.--
                (1) In general.--The Secretary of Defense shall establish a
            fund to be known as the ``Department of Defense Rapid

        ``(d)(1) The milestone decision authority for a major defense
    acquisition program reaching Milestone A after October 1, 2016, shall be
    the service acquisition executive of the military department that is
    managing the program, unless the Secretary of Defense designates, under
    paragraph (2), another official to serve as the milestone decision
    authority.

    under paragraph (2) for a program, the Secretary of Defense may revert
    the position of milestone decision authority for the program back to the
    service acquisition executive upon request of the Secretary of the
    military department concerned. A decision on the request shall be made
    within 180 days after receipt of the request from the Secretary of the

    of the milestone decision authority back to the service acquisition
    executive, the Secretary shall report to the congressional defense
    committees on the basis of the Secretary's decision that an alternate

    increase greater than the significant cost threshold or critical cost
    threshold under section 2433 of this title, except in exceptional
    circumstances.

    oversight process for major defense acquisition programs and shall limit

    authority and ensure that any policies, procedures, and activities
    related to oversight efforts conducted outside of the military
    departments with regard to major defense acquisition programs shall be
    implemented in a manner that does not unnecessarily increase program
    costs or impede program schedules.''.

        (a) In General.--For each fiscal year beginning with fiscal year
    2015, the Secretary of each military department shall pay a penalty for
    cost overruns on the covered major defense acquisition programs of the
    military department.
        (b) Calculation of Penalty.--For the purposes of this section:
                (1) The amount of the cost overrun or underrun on any major
            defense acquisition program or subprogram in a fiscal year is
            the difference between the current program acquisition unit cost
            for the program or subprogram and the program acquisition unit
            cost for the program as shown in the original Baseline Estimate
            for the program or subprogram, multiplied by the quantity of
            items to be purchased under the program or subprogram, as
            reported in the final Selected Acquisition

    [[Page 129 STAT. 911]]

            Report for the fiscal year in accordance with section 2432 of
            title 10, United States Code.
                (2) Cost overruns or underruns for covered major defense
            acquisition programs that are joint programs of more than one
            military department shall be allocated among the military
            departments in percentages determined by the Under Secretary of
            Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics.
                (3) The cumulative amount of cost overruns for a military
            department in a fiscal year is the sum of the cost overruns and
            cost underruns for all covered major defense acquisition
            programs of the department in the fiscal year (including cost
            overruns or underruns allocated to the military department in
            accordance with paragraph (2)).
                (4) The cost overrun penalty for a military department in a
            fiscal year is three percent of the cumulative amount of cost
            overruns of the military department in the fiscal year, as
            determined pursuant to paragraph (3), except that the cost
            overrun penalty may not be a negative amount.

        (c) Transfer of Funds.--
                (1) Reduction of research, development, test, and evaluation
            accounts.--Not later than 60 days after the end of each fiscal
            year beginning with fiscal year 2015, the Secretary of each
            military department shall reduce each research, development,
            test, and evaluation account of the military department by the
            percentage determined under paragraph (2), and remit such amount
            to the Secretary of Defense.
                (2) Determination of amount.--The percentage reduction to
            research, development, test, and evaluation accounts of a
            military department referred to in paragraph (1) is the
            percentage reduction to such accounts necessary to equal the
            cost overrun penalty for the fiscal year for such department
            determined pursuant to subsection (b)(4).
                (3) Crediting of funds.--Any amount remitted under paragraph
            (1) shall be credited to the Rapid Prototyping Fund established
            pursuant to section 804 of this Act.

        (d) Covered Programs.--A major defense acquisition program is
    covered under this section if the original Baseline Estimate was
    established for such program under paragraph (1) or (2) of section
    2435(d) of title 10, United States Code, on or after May 22, 2009 (which

            determination made by a military department, a Defense Agency,
            or another component of the Department of Defense shall serve as
            a determination for subsequent procurements of such item.
                ``(B) If the contracting officer does not make the
            presumption described in subparagraph (A) and instead chooses to
            proceed with a procurement of an item previously determined to
            be a commercial item using procedures other than the procedures
            authorized for the procurement of a commercial item, the
            contracting officer shall request a review of the commercial
            item determination by the head of the contracting activity.
                ``(C) Not later than 30 days after receiving a request for
            review of a commercial item determination under subparagraph

        (e) <<NOTE: 10 USC 2306a note.>>  Rule of Construction.--Nothing in
    this section or the amendments made by this section shall be construed
    to preclude the contracting officer for the procurement of a commercial
    item from requiring the contractor to supply information that is
    sufficient to determine the reasonableness of price, regardless of
    whether or not the contractor was required to provide such information
    in connection with any earlier procurement.

                    quantity or level of such item or service using
                    commercial acquisition procedures.

            performed by the existing contractor to improve future products
            or services.
                (2) The transaction costs for the Department of Defense and
            the contractor in assessing and responding to data requests to
            support a conversion to noncommercial acquisition procedures.
                (3) Changes in purchase quantities.
                (4) Costs associated with potential procurement delays
            resulting from the conversion.

                    components of the Department to acquire such services
                    separately;
                (2) either--
                        (A) acquire such services from a single provider
                    that bundles all of the services; or
                        (B) require that each common service be
                    independently defined and use open standards to enable
                    continuous adoption of best commercial technology; and
                (3) enable availability of multiple versions of each type of
            service and application to enable choice and competition while
            supporting interoperability where necessary.

                    streamline oversight reviews.
                        (B) The report required under this paragraph shall
                    include the following elements:
                              (i) A description of actions taken to avoid
                          duplicative audits and streamline oversight
                          reviews based on the review conducted under

                          some portions of cost accounting standards
                          compliance can be met through such practices or
                          requirements.

                          materiality used by the Defense Contract Audit
                          Agency and the Inspector General of the Department
                          of Defense for defense contract audits.
                              (iv) An estimate of average delay and range of
                          delays in contract awards due to the time
                          necessary for the Defense Contract Audit Agency to
                          complete pre-award audits.
                              (v) The total costs of sustained or recovered

    SEC. 894. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON EVALUATION METHOD FOR PROCUREMENT
                            OF AUDIT OR AUDIT READINESS SERVICES.

        (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                (1) Given the size, scope, and complexity of the Department
            of Defense, the statutory deadline to establish and maintain
            auditable financial statements, starting with the fiscal year
            2018 financial statement, is one of the more challenging
            management tasks that has ever faced the Department.
                (2) As the military services have never received a clean
            opinion on their consolidated financial statements and only
            recently begun auditing portions of their financial statements,
            the audits of military service financial statements will also

    [[Page 129 STAT. 954]]

            be a complex challenge for companies selected to provide audit
            services.
                (3) The acquisition of services by the Department abides by
            many rules and parameters, one of which is the lowest price,
            technically acceptable (LPTA) evaluation method. LPTA is
            generally appropriate for commercial or noncomplex services or
            supplies where the requirement is clearly definable and the risk
            of unsuccessful contract performance is minimal.

        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that, before
    using the lowest price, technically acceptable evaluation method for the
    procurement of audit or audit readiness services, the Secretary of
    Defense should establish the values and metrics for evaluating companies
    offering audit services, including financial management and audit
    expertise and experience, personnel qualifications and certifications,
    past performance, technology, tools, and size.

        Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act,
    the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and
    Logistics shall review, and as necessary revise or issue, policy
    guidance pertaining to the identification, mitigation, and prevention of
    potential unfair competitive advantage conferred to technical advisors
    to acquisition programs.
    SEC. 896. SURVEY ON THE COSTS OF REGULATORY COMPLIANCE.

        (a) Survey.--The Secretary of Defense shall conduct a survey of
    contractors with the highest level of reimbursements for cost type
    contracts with the Department of Defense during fiscal year 2014 to
    estimate industry's cost of regulatory compliance (as a percentage of
    total costs) with Government-unique acquisition regulations and
    requirements in the categories of quality assurance, accounting and
    financial management, contracting and purchasing, program management,
    engineering, logistics, material management, property administration,
    and other unique requirements not imposed on contracts for commercial
    items.
        (b) Report.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment
    of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional
    defense committees a report on the findings of the survey conducted
    under subsection (a). The data received as a result of the survey and
    included in the report shall be aggregated to protect against the public
    release of proprietary information.

                            NEGOTIATIONS ACT.

        (a) Pilot Program Authorized.--The Secretary of Defense may conduct
    a pilot program to demonstrate the efficacy of using risk-based
    techniques in requiring submission of data on a sampling basis for
    purposes of section 2306a of title 10, United States Code (popularly
    known as the ``Truth in Negotiations Act'').
        (b) Increase in Thresholds.--For purposes of a pilot program under
    subsection (a), $5,000,000 shall be the threshold applicable to
    requirements under paragraph (1) of section 2306a(a) of such title, as
    follows:
                (1) The requirement under subparagraph (A) of such paragraph
            to submit cost or pricing data for a prime contract entered into
            during the pilot program period.
                (2) The requirement under subparagraph (B) of such paragraph
            to submit cost or pricing data for the change or modification to
            a prime contract made during the pilot program period.
                (3) The requirement under subparagraph (C) of such paragraph
            to submit cost or pricing data for a subcontract entered into
            during the pilot program period.
                (4) The requirement under subparagraph (D) of such paragraph
            to submit cost or pricing data for the change or modification to
            a subcontract made during the pilot program period.

        (c) Risk-based Contracting.--
                (1) Authority to require submission of cost or pricing data
            on below-threshold contracts.--Subject to paragraph (4), when
            certified cost or pricing data are not required to be submitted
            pursuant to subsection (b) for a contract or subcontract entered
            into or modified during the pilot program period, such data may
            nevertheless be required to be submitted by the head of the
            procuring activity, if the head of the procuring activity--
                        (A) determines that such data are necessary for the
                    evaluation by the agency of the reasonableness of the
                    price of the contract, subcontract, or modification of a
                    contract or subcontract; or
                        (B) requires the submission of such data in
                    accordance with a risk-based contracting approach
                    established pursuant to paragraph (3).
                (2) Written determination required.--In any case in which
            the head of the procuring activity requires certified cost or
            pricing data to be submitted under paragraph (1)(A), the head of
            the procuring activity shall justify in writing the reason for
            such requirement.
                (3) Risk-based contracting.--The head of an agency shall
            establish a risk-based sampling approach under which the
            submission of certified cost or pricing data may be required for
            a risk-based sample of contracts, the price of which is expected
            to exceed $750,000 but not $5,000,000. The authority to require
            certified cost or pricing data under this paragraph shall not
            apply to any contract of an offeror that has not

    [[Page 129 STAT. 956]]

            been awarded, for at least the one-year period preceding the
            issuance of a solicitation for the contract, any other contract
            in excess of $5,000,000 under which the offeror was required to
            submit certified cost or pricing data under section 2306a of
            title 10, United States Code.
                (4) Exception.--The head of the procuring activity may not
            require certified cost or pricing data to be submitted under
            this subsection for any contract or subcontract, or modification
            of a contract or subcontract, covered by the exceptions in
            subparagraph (A) or (B) of section 2306a(b)(1) of title 10,
            United States Code.
                (5) Delegation of authority prohibited.--The head of a
            procuring activity may not delegate functions under this
            subsection.

        (d) Reports.--Not later than January 1, 2017, and January 1, 2019,

                            ACTIVITIES.

                ``(F) Advising the Secretary on development of joint

            through requirements, integrated architectures, data standards,
            and assessments.''.
    SEC. 902. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS.

        (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                (1) As senior United States statesman Dr. Henry Kissinger
            wrote in testimony submitted to the Committee on Armed Services
            of the Senate on January 29, 2015, ``The United States has not
            faced a more diverse and complex array of crises since the end
            of the Second World War.''.
                (2) The rise of non-state forces and near peer competitors
            has introduced destabilizing pressures around the globe.
                (3) Advances in information and weapons technology have
            reduced the time available for the United States to prepare

    [[Page 129 STAT. 957]]

            for and respond to crises against both known and unknown
            threats.
                (4) The importance of the maritime domain cannot be
            overstated. As acknowledged in the March 2015 Navy, Marine
            Corps, and Coast Guard maritime strategy, ``A Cooperative
            Strategy for 21st Century Seapower: Forward, Engaged, Ready'':
            ``Oceans are the lifeblood of the interconnected global
            community. . . 90 percent of trade by volume travels across the
            oceans. Approximately 70 percent of the world's population lives
            within 100 miles of the coastline.''.
                (5) The United States must be prepared to rapidly respond to
            crises around the world regardless of the nation's fiscal
            health.
                (6) In this global security environment, it is critical that
            the nation possess a maritime force whose mission and ethos is
            readiness--a fight tonight force, forward deployed, that can
            respond immediately to emergent crises across the full range of
            military operations around the globe either from the sea or home
            station.
                (7) The need for such a force was recognized by the 82nd
            Congress during the Korean War, when it mandated a core mission
            for the nation's leanest force--the Marine Corps--to be most
            ready when the nation is least ready.

        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) the Marine Corps, within the Department of the Navy,
            remain the Nation's expeditionary, crisis response force;
                (2) the need for such a force with such a capability has
            never been greater; and
                (3) accordingly, in recognition of this need and the wisdom
            of the 82nd Congress, the 114th Congress reaffirms section 5063
            of title 10, United States Code, which states that the Marine
            Corps--
                        (A) shall--
                              (i) be organized to include not less than
                          three combat divisions and three air wings, and
                          such other land combat, aviation, and other
                          services as may be organic therein;
                              (ii) be organized, trained, and equipped to
                          provide fleet marine forces of combined arms,
                          together with supporting air components, for
                          service with the fleet in the seizure or defense
                          of advanced naval bases and for the conduct of
                          such land operations as may be essential to the
                          prosecution of a naval campaign; and
                              (iii) provide detachments and organizations
                          for service on armed vessels of the Navy, provide
                          security detachments for the protection of naval
                          property at naval stations and bases, and perform
                          such other duties as the President may direct;
                    but these additional duties may not detract from nor
                    interfere with the operations for which the Marine Corps
                    is primarily organized;
                        (B) shall develop, in coordination with the Army and
                    the Air Force, those phases of amphibious operations
                    that pertain to the tactics, techniques, and equipment
                    used by landing forces; and
                        (C) is responsible, in accordance with the
                    integrated joint mobilization plans, for the expansion
                    of peacetime

    [[Page 129 STAT. 958]]

            fiscal year 2016 between any such authorizations for that fiscal
            year (or any subdivisions thereof). Amounts of authorizations so
            transferred shall be merged with and be available for the same
            purposes as the authorization to which transferred.
                (2) Limitation.--Except as provided in paragraph (3), the
            total amount of authorizations that the Secretary may transfer

                (3) Exception for transfers between military personnel
            authorizations.--A transfer of funds between military personnel
            authorizations under title IV shall not be counted toward the

        (b) Limitations.--The authority provided by subsection (a) to
    transfer authorizations--
                (1) may only be used to provide authority for items that
            have a higher priority than the items from which authority is
            transferred; and
                (2) may not be used to provide authority for an item that
            has been denied authorization by Congress.

        (c) Effect on Authorization Amounts.--A transfer made from one
    account to another under the authority of this section shall be deemed
    to increase the amount authorized for the account to which the amount is

    Congress of each transfer made under subsection (a).

    SEC. 1004. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON SEQUESTRATION.

        It is the sense of the Congress that--
                (1) the fiscal challenges of the Federal Government are a
            top priority for Congress, and sequestration--non-strategic,
            across-the-board budget cuts--remains an unreasonable and
            inadequate budgeting tool to address the deficits and debt of
            the Federal Government;
                (2) budget caps imposed by the Budget Control Act of 2011
            (Public Law 112-25) impose unacceptable limitations on the
            budget and increase risk to the national security of the United
            States; and
                (3) the budget caps imposed by the Budget Control Act of
            2011 must be modified or eliminated through a bipartisan
            legislative agreement.

    Defense shall obtain each year audits of the financial statements of
    each such component by an independent external auditor.
        (b) Selection of Auditors.--The selection of independent external
    auditors for purposes of subsection (a) shall be based, among other
    appropriate criteria, on their qualifications, independence, and
    capacity to conduct audits described in subsection (a) in accordance
    with applicable generally accepted government auditing standards. The
    Inspector General shall participate in the selection of the independent
    external auditors.
        (c) Monitoring Audits.--The Inspector General shall monitor the
    conduct of all audits by independent external auditors under subsection

    SEC. 1013. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON CENTRAL AMERICA.

        (a) Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:
                (1) The stability and security of Central American nations
            have a direct impact on the stability and security of the United
            States.

    [[Page 129 STAT. 964]]

                (2) Over the past decade, increased stability and security
            in the Republic of Colombia has displaced illicit trafficking to
            Central America, bringing with it increased violence and
            instability.
                (3) According to the Global Study on Homicide 2013 of the
            United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, four of the top five
            countries with the highest homicide rates in the world were
            Central American nations, including Honduras, Belize, El
            Salvador, and Guatemala.
                (4) In 2014, approximately 65,000 unaccompanied alien
            children from Central America entered the United States through
            its southwest border.
                (5) In November 2014, Guatemala, Honduras, and El Salvador
            announced a Plan for the Alliance for Prosperity of the Northern
            Triangle, which is a comprehensive approach to address the
            ongoing violence and instability facing these three nations by
            stimulating economic opportunities, improving public safety and
            rule of law, and strengthening institutions to increase trust in
            the state.
                (6) The United States Government is supportive of the
            Alliance for Prosperity, and President's strategy for support
            includes $1,000,000,000 focused on promoting prosperity and
            regional economic integration, enhancing security, and promoting
            improved governance.
                (7) The Department of Defense continues to build the
            capacity of our partners in the region to address their security
            challenges and confront threats of mutual concern.

        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) the United States should, to the extent practicable,
            prioritize efforts to address the threatening levels of
            violence, instability, illicit trafficking, and transnational
            organized crime that challenge the sovereignty of Central
            American nations and the security of the United States; and
                (2) in order to address such issues, the Department of
            Defense, to the extent practicable, should--
                        (A) increase its operations, as the lead agency of
                    the United States Government, to detect and monitor
                    aerial and maritime illicit trafficking into the United
                    States;
                        (B) increase its efforts to support aerial and
                    maritime illicit trafficking interdiction operations;
                        (C) increase its operations to build the capacity of
                    partner nations in Central America to confront their own
                    security challenges;
                        (D) support interagency programs and activities in
                    Central America addressing instability, including
                    development, education, economic, political, and
                    security challenges; and
                        (E) promote observance of and respect for human
                    rights and fundamental freedoms and respect for civilian
                    control of the military.

            leadership of the foreign entity to which the individual
            detained at Guantanamo concerned is to be transferred--
                        (A) is not a designated state sponsor of terrorism
                    or a designated foreign terrorist organization;
                        (B) maintains control over each detention facility
                    in which the individual is to be detained if the

                        (C) has taken or agreed to take appropriate steps to
                    substantially mitigate any risk the individual could

                    threaten the United States or its allies or interests;
                    and
                        (D) has agreed to share with the United States any
                    information that is related to the individual;
                (3) if the country to which the individual is to be
            transferred is a country to which the United States transferred
            an individual who was detained at United States Naval Station,
            Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, at any time after September 11, 2001, and

                        (A) considered such circumstances; and
                        (B) determined that the actions to be taken as
                    described in paragraph (2)(C) will substantially

    released for the purpose of making a certification under subsection (b),
    the Secretary may give favorable consideration to any such individual--

            control of the Department of Defense; and
                (2) for whom agreements and effective mechanisms are in
            place, to the extent relevant and necessary, to provide for
            continued cooperation with United States intelligence and law
            enforcement authorities.

            component of the efforts of the Department of Defense to provide
            commanders with capabilities to shape the operational
            environment;
                (2) military information support operations are integral to
            armed conflict and therefore the Secretary of Defense has broad
            latitude to conduct military information support operations;
                (3) the Secretary of Defense should develop creative and
            agile concepts, technologies, and strategies across all
            available media to most effectively reach target audiences, to
            counter and degrade the ability of adversaries and potential
            adversaries to persuade, inspire, and recruit inside areas of
            hostilities or in other areas in direct support of the
            objectives of commanders; and
                (4) the Secretary of Defense should request additional funds
            in future budgets to carry out military information support
            operations to support the broader efforts of the Government to
            counter violent extremism.

        (b) Technology Demonstrations Required.--To support the ability of
    the Department of Defense to provide innovative operational concepts and
    technologies to shape the informational environment, the Secretary of
    Defense shall carry out a series of technology demonstrations, subject
    to the availability of funds for such purpose or to a prior approval
    reprogramming, to assess innovative new technologies for information
    operations and information engagement to support the operational and
    strategic requirements of the commanders of the geographic and
    functional combatant commands, including the urgent and emergent
    operational needs and the operational and theater campaign plans of such
    combatant commanders to further the national security objectives and
    strategic communications requirements of the United States.
        (c) Plan.--By not later than 180 days after the date of the
    enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall provide to the
    congressional defense committees a plan describing how the Department of
    Defense will execute the technology demonstrations required under
    subsection (b). Such plan shall include each of the following elements:
                (1) A general timeline for conducting the technology

        (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                (1) The National Airlift Policy states that ``[t]he national
            defense airlift objective is to ensure that military and civil
            airlift resources will be able to meet defense mobilization and
            deployment requirements in support of US defense and foreign
            policies.''.
                (2) The National Airlift Policy also emphasizes the need for
            ``dialogue and cooperation with our national aviation
            industry,'' and it states that ``[i]t is of particular
            importance that the aviation industry be apprised by the
            Department of Defense of long-term requirements for airlift in
            support of national defense.''.
                (3) The National Airlift Policy emphasizes the importance of
            both military and civil airlift resources and their
            interdependence in the fulfillment of the national defense
            airlift objective, and it states that the ``Department of
            Defense shall establish appropriate levels for peacetime cargo
            airlift augmentation in order to promote the effectiveness of
            Civil Reserve Air Fleet and provide training within the military
            airlift system.''.
                (4) Civil Reserve Air Fleet carriers continue to be an
            important component of the military airlift system in support of
            United States defense and foreign policies.

    the military airlift system in support of United States defense and
    foreign policies, and it is the policy of the United States to maintain

    by providing appropriate levels of peacetime airlift augmentation to

                (3) Definition of civil reserve air fleet program.--Section
            9511 of title 10, United States Code, is amended by adding at
            the end the following new paragraph:
                ``(12) The term `Civil Reserve Air Fleet program' means the
            program developed by the Department of Defense through which the
            Department of Defense augments its airlift capability by use of
            civil aircraft.''.

            interoperability of such carriers, maintain networks and
            infrastructure, exercise the system, and facilitate the regular
            interfacing between such carriers and the military airlift
            system, which shall include--
                        (A) a projection of the number of block hours

                (2) A comparison (including analytical and justification
            materials and explanations of any deviations) of the forecasted

                        (A) shall require, in the case of an employee of the

                    least equal to three times the length of the assignment,

            not in the best interests of the United States.

                              ACTIVITIES.

        It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) Iran continues to conduct a range of malign military and
            intelligence activities in the region and around the globe which
            constitute a significant threat to regional stability and the
            national security interests of the United States and our allies
            and partners;
                (2) Iran continues funding its conventional and
            unconventional military development, including its ballistic
            missile development programs, and its acquisition of
            destabilizing conventional weapons, which requires the United
            States to continue to support and build the collective capacity
            of our allies and partners in the region to address threats;
                (3) the sale of advanced weaponry, including advance air
            defense systems, to the Government of Iran increases the risk of

            terrorism, and the violation of the human rights of the Iranian
            people justify continued pressure by the United States; and
                (5) the United States should continue to enhance the
            region's security architecture, build our partners' capacity to
            respond to external aggression, increase the interoperability of
            our respective military forces, and continue to better integrate
            their advanced capabilities.

                (4) not only should the Russian Federation end its cheating
            with respect to the INF Treaty, but also its illegal occupation
            of the sovereign territory of another nation, its plans for
            stationing nuclear weapons on that nation's territory, and its
            cheating and violation of as many as eight of its 12 arms
            control obligations and agreements; and
                (5) there are several United States military requirements
            that would be addressed by the development and deployment of
            systems currently prohibited by the INF Treaty.

    potentially alleviate force posture requirements on multi-mission
    assets.
        (b) Requirement to Submit Policy.--Not later than 30 days after the
    date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit
    to the appropriate congressional committees a copy of the Department of

            committees the certification described in subsection (b).

        (b) Certification.--The certification described in this subsection
    is a certification that--
                (1) the Joint Requirements Oversight Council has conducted a
            recent review and certification of the space-based environmental
            monitoring requirements while taking into consideration the
            changes in international allied plans and the feedback of the
            military departments and Defense Agencies (as defined in section
            101(a) of title 10, United States Code);
                (2) relying on civil and international contributions to meet
            space-based environmental monitoring requirements is
            insufficient or is a risk to national security and launching
            DMSP20 will meet those requirements;
                (3) launching DMSP20 is the most affordable solution to
            meeting requirements validated by the Joint Requirements
            Oversight Council; and

            the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and the
            National Aeronautics and Space Administration are incapable of
            meeting the cloud characterization and theater weather
            requirements validated by the Joint Requirements Oversight
            Council.

        (c) Comparative Cost and Capability Assessment.--If the Secretary
    and the Chairman determine that a material solution is required to meet
    the cloud characterization and theater weather requirements validated by
    the Joint Requirements Oversight Council, the Secretary and the Chairman
    shall jointly submit to the congressional defense committees a cost and
    capability assessment that compares the cost of meeting those
    requirements with DMSP20 and with an alternate material solution that
    includes electro-optical infrared weather imaging or other comparable
    solutions.

    SEC. 1660. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE NUCLEAR FORCE IMPROVEMENT
                              PROGRAM OF THE AIR FORCE.

        (a) Findings.--Congress finds the following:
                (1) On February 6, 2014, Air Force Global Strike Command
            initiated a force improvement program for the intercontinental
            ballistic missile force designed to improve mission
            effectiveness, strengthen culture and morale, and identify areas
            in need of investment by soliciting input from airmen performing
            intercontinental ballistic missile operations.
                (2) The intercontinental ballistic missile force improvement
            program generated more than 300 recommendations to strengthen
            intercontinental ballistic missile operations and served as a
            model for subsequent force improvement programs in other mission
            areas, such as bomber operations and sustainment.
                (3) On May 28, 2014, as part of the nuclear force
            improvement program, the Air Force announced it would make
            immediate improvements in the nuclear mission of the Air Force,
            including enhancing career opportunities for airmen in the
            nuclear career field, ensuring training activities focused on
            performing the mission in the field, reforming the personnel
            reliability program, establishing special pay rates for
            positions in the nuclear career field, and creating a new
            service medal for nuclear deterrence operations.
                (4) Chief of Staff of the Air Force Mark Welsh has said
            that, as part of the nuclear force improvement program, the Air
            Force will increase nuclear-manning levels and strengthen
            professional development for the members of the Air Force
            supporting the nuclear mission of the Air Force in order ``to
            address shortfalls and offer our airmen more stable work
            schedule and better quality of life''.
                (5) Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee James, in
            recognition of the importance of the nuclear mission of the Air
            Force, proposed elevating the grade of the commander of the Air
            Force Global Strike Command from lieutenant general to general,
            and on March 30, 2015, the Senate confirmed a general as
            commander of that command.
                (6) The Air Force redirected more than $160,000,000 in
            fiscal year 2014 to alleviate urgent, near-term shortfalls
            within the nuclear mission of the Air Force as part of the
            nuclear force improvement program.
                (7) The Air Force plans to spend more than $200,000,000 on
            the nuclear force improvement program in fiscal year 2015, and
            requested more than $130,000,000 for the program for fiscal year
            2016.
                (8) Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said on November 14,
            2014, that ``[t]he nuclear mission plays a critical role in
            ensuring the Nation's safety. No other enterprise we have is
            more important''.
                (9) Secretary Hagel also said that the budget for the
            nuclear mission of the Air Force should increase by 10 percent
            over a five-year period.
                (10) Section 1652 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck''
            McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015
            (Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat. 3654; 10 U.S.C. 491 note)
            declares it the policy of the United States ``to ensure that the
            members of the Armed Forces who operate the nuclear

    [[Page 129 STAT. 1127]]

            deterrent of the United States have the training, resources, and
            national support required to execute the critical national
            security mission of the members''.

        (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) the nuclear mission of the Air Force should be a top
            priority for the Department of the Air Force and for Congress;
                (2) the members of the Air Force who operate and maintain
            the nuclear deterrent of the United States perform work that is
            vital to the security of the United States;
                (3) the nuclear force improvement program of the Air Force
            has made significant near-term improvements for the members of
            the Air Force in the nuclear career field of the Air Force;
                (4) Congress should support long-term investments in the Air
            Force nuclear enterprise that sustain the progress made under
            the nuclear force improvement program;
                (5) the Air Force should--
                        (A) regularly inform Congress on the progress being
                    made under the nuclear force improvement program and its
                    efforts to strengthen the nuclear enterprise; and
                        (B) make Congress aware of any additional actions
                    that should be taken to optimize performance of the
                    nuclear mission of the Air Force and maximize the
                    strength of the strategic deterrent of the United
                    States; and
                (6) future budgets for the Air Force should reflect the
            importance of the nuclear mission of the Air Force and the need
            to provide members of the Air Force assigned to the nuclear
            mission the best possible support and quality of life.

        (a) Collaboration Between United States and United Kingdom.--It is
    the sense of Congress that--
                (1) cooperation and collaboration under the 1958 Mutual
            Defense Agreement and the 1963 Polaris Sales Agreement are
            fundamental elements of the security of the United States and
            the United Kingdom as well as international stability;
                (2) the recent renewal of the Mutual Defense Agreement and
            the continued work under the Polaris Sales Agreement underscore
            the enduring and long-term value of the agreements to both
            countries; and
                (3) the vital efforts performed under the purview of both
            the Mutual Defense Agreement and the Polaris Sales Agreement are
            critical to sustaining and enhancing the capabilities and
            knowledge base of both countries regarding nuclear deterrence,
            nuclear nonproliferation and counterproliferation, and naval
            nuclear propulsion.

        (b) 60th Anniversary of Fleet Ballistic Missile Program.--It is the
    sense of Congress that--
                (1) November 2015 marks the 60th anniversary of the Fleet
            Ballistic Missile Program of the Navy, which evolved from the
            Special Project Office established under President Dwight D.
            Eisenhower, and has provided credible, reliable, and affordable
            strategic deterrence solutions to the warfighter by producing
            more than 3,600 missiles over six different generations;

    [[Page 129 STAT. 1128]]

                (2) The current Trident II D5 missile system has provided a
            reliable deterrent for nearly 25 years onboard Ohio-class
            ballistic missile submarines and has demonstrated reliability
            that is second-to-none as evidenced by more than two decades of
            annual, operationally representative flight testing;
                (3) Congress congratulates the men and women of Strategic
            Systems Programs, their industry partners, and the Marines,
            Sailors, and Coast Guardsmen who stand watch ensuring the
            safety, security, and credibility of the strategic weapons of
            the United States; and
                (4) Strategic Systems Programs, and the strategic weapon
            system the programs provide, are a vital and esteemed
            cornerstone of the security and defense of the United States and
            will remain so well into the future.

        It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) the Secretary of Defense should develop a plan regarding
            how the Secretary plans to implement the recommendations of the
            two nuclear enterprise reviews, one of which was led by
            Assistant Secretary of Defense Madelyn Creedon and Rear Admiral
            Peter Fanta and one of which was led by General Larry Welch
            (retired) and Admiral John Harvey, Jr. (retired); and
                (2) such plan should include a timeline for when each
            recommendation will be implemented and how any additional
            manpower resulting from such recommendations will be allocated.

            operating contracts for the national security laboratories has
            resulted in significant increases in fees paid to the
            contractors--funding that otherwise could be used to support
            program and mission activities of the National Nuclear Security
            Administration;
                (2) competition of the management and operating contracts of
            the nuclear security enterprise is an important mechanism to
            help realize cost savings, seek efficiencies, improve
            performance, and hold contractors accountable;
                (3) when the Administrator for Nuclear Security considers it
            appropriate to achieve those goals, the Administrator should
            conduct competition of such contracts while recognizing the
            unique nature of federally funded research and development
            centers; and
                (4) the Administrator should ensure that fixed fees and
            performance-based fees contained in management and operating
            contracts are as low as possible to maintain a focus on national
            service while attracting high-quality contractors and achieving
            the goals of the competition.

                              OF NUCLEAR SECURITY ENTERPRISE.

        (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
                (1) correcting the longstanding problems with the governance
            and management of the nuclear security enterprise will require
            robust, personal, and long-term engagement by the President, the
            Secretary of Energy, the Administrator for Nuclear Security, and
            leaders from the appropriate congressional committees;
                (2) recent and past studies of the governance and management
            of the nuclear security enterprise have provided a list of
            reasonable, practical, and actionable steps that the Secretary
            and the Administrator should take to make the nuclear security
            enterprise more efficient and more effective; and
                (3) lasting and effective change to the nuclear security
            enterprise will require personal engagement by senior leaders, a
            clear plan, and mechanisms for ensuring follow-through and
            accountability.

        (b) Implementation Plan.--
                (1) Implementation action team.--(A) The Secretary and the
            Administrator shall jointly establish a team of senior officials
            from the Department of Energy and the National Nuclear Security
            Administration to develop and carry out an implementation plan
            to reform the governance and management of the nuclear security
            enterprise to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of the
            nuclear security enterprise. Such plan shall be developed and
            implemented in accordance with the National Nuclear Security
            Administration Act (50 U.S.C. 2401 et seq.), the Atomic Energy
            Defense Act (50 U.S.C. 2501 et seq.), and any other provision of
            law.
                (B) The team established under paragraph (1) shall be co-
            chaired by the Deputy Secretary of Energy and the Administrator.
                (C) In developing and carrying out the implementation plan,
            the team shall consult with the implementation assessment panel
            established under subsection (c)(1).
                (2) Elements.--The implementation plan developed under
            paragraph (1)(A) shall address all recommendations contained in

        (a) Strategy.--The President shall develop and pursue a strategy to
    address the risks to the goals and policies of the United States

            describe the following:
                        (A) The pit production capacity requirement,
                    including the numbers of pits produced that are needed
                    for nuclear weapons life extension programs.

                    the numbers of pits produced, to support a responsive
                    nuclear weapons infrastructure to hedge against
                    technical and geopolitical risk.
