        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.

    (b) Headquarters Reductions.--

[[Page 129 STAT. 797]]

            (1) In general.--Not later than 90 days after the date of 
        the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall modify 
        the headquarters reduction plan required by section 904 of the 
        National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public 
        Law 113-66; 127 Stat. 816; 10 U.S.C. 111 note) to ensure that it 
        achieves savings in the total funding available for major 
        Department of Defense headquarters activities by fiscal year 
        2020 that are not less than 25 percent of the baseline amount. 
        The modified plan shall establish a specific savings objective 
        for each major headquarters activity in each fiscal year through 
        fiscal year 2020. The budget for the Department of Defense for 
        each fiscal year after fiscal year 2016 shall reflect the 
        savings required by the modified plan.
            (2) Baseline amount.--For the purposes of this subsection, 
        the baseline amount is the amount authorized to be appropriated 
        by this Act for fiscal year 2016 for major Department of Defense 
        headquarters activities, adjusted by a credit for reductions in 
        such headquarters activities that are documented, as of the date 
        that is 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, as 
        having been accomplished in earlier fiscal years in accordance 
        with the December 2013 directive of the Secretary of Defense on 
        headquarters reductions. The modified plan issued pursuant to 
        paragraph (1) shall include an overall baseline amount for all 
        of the major Department of Defense headquarters activities that 
        credits reductions accomplished in earlier fiscal years in 
        accordance with the December 2013 directive, and a specific 
        baseline amount for each such headquarters activity that credits 
        such reductions.

                      the Joint Staff and the service component commands 
                      into a single staff organization that provides the 
                      required functions, services, capabilities, and

                      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

                practices, and systems to exploit synergies between the 
                operations of defense commissaries and exchanges and to 
                optimize the operations of the resale system and the 
                benefits provided by the commissaries and exchanges.
                    (B) The privatization of the defense commissary 
                system and the military exchange system, in whole or in

                household goods.
                    (D) The closure of commissaries in locations in

            (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

        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:

                      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 
                Secretary shall 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 and assessment of the pilot 
                      program.

                      or legislative action as the Secretary considers 
                      appropriate in light of the pilot program.

        of Defense, are urgently needed to eliminate a documented 
        deficiency that has resulted in combat casualties, or is likely 
        to result in combat casualties, the Secretary may use the 
        procedures developed under this section in order to accomplish 
        the rapid acquisition and deployment of the needed supplies and 
        associated support services.
            ``(B) In the case of any supplies and associated support 
        services that, as determined in writing by the Secretary of

                        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.

        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

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 
military department concerned.
    ``(B) If the Secretary of Defense denies the request for reversion 
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 
official serving as milestone decision authority will best provide for 
the program to achieve desired cost, schedule, and performance outcomes. 
No such reversion is authorized after a program has incurred a unit cost 
increase greater than the significant cost threshold or critical cost 
threshold under section 2433 of this title, except in exceptional 
circumstances.
    ``(4)(A) For each major defense acquisition program, the Secretary 
of the military department concerned and the Chief of the armed force

oversight process for major defense acquisition programs and shall limit 
outside requirements for documentation to an absolute minimum on those 
programs where the service acquisition executive of the military 
department that is managing the program is the milestone decision 
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.''.

SEC. 828. <<NOTE: 10 USC 2430 note.>>  PENALTY FOR COST OVERRUNS.

    (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

        Federal Acquisition Regulation, the contracting officer for the 
        procurement shall determine in writing that--
                    (A) the earlier use of commercial acquisition 
                procedures under part 12 of the Federal Acquisition 
                Regulation was in error or based on inadequate 
                information; and
                    (B) the Department of Defense will realize a cost 
                savings compared to the cost of procuring a similar 
                quantity or level of such item or service using 
                commercial acquisition procedures.
            (2) Requirement for approval of determination by head of 
        contracting activity.--In the case of a procurement valued at 
        more than $100,000,000, a contract may not be awarded pursuant

                the determination made under paragraph (1); and
                    (B) a copy of the determination so approved is 
                provided to the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense 
                for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics.

    (b) Factors to Be Considered.--In making a determination under 
paragraph (1), the determining official shall, at a minimum, consider 
the following factors:

[[Page 129 STAT. 921]]

            (1) The estimated cost of research and development to be 
        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.

    (c) Procedures.--Not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall develop procedures 
to track conversions of future contracts and subcontracts for improved 
analysis and reporting and shall revise the Defense Federal Acquisition 
Regulation Supplement to reflect the requirement in subsection (a).
    (d) Reporting Requirement.--Not later than one year after the date 
of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to 
the congressional defense committees a report on the implementation of

shall include an assessment of whether the Department of Defense 
should--
            (1) either--
                    (A) acquire a unified set of commercially provided 
                common or enterprise information technology services, 
                including such services as messaging, collaboration, 
                directory, security, and content delivery; or
                    (B) allow the military departments and other 
                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

                      204; 15 U.S.C. 7201 et seq.), with the cost 
                      accounting standards prescribed under chapter 15 
                      of title 41, United States Code, to determine if 
                      some portions of cost accounting standards 
                      compliance can be met through such practices or

                          (iii) A description of standards of 
                      materiality used by the Defense Contract Audit

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.

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

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

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

    (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, 
the Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense 
committees a report on activities undertaken under this section.
    (e) Definitions.--In this section:
            (1) Head of an agency.--The term ``head of an agency'' has

       TITLE IX--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ORGANIZATION AND MANAGEMENT

Sec. 901. Update of statutory specification of functions of the Chairman 
           of the Joint Chiefs of Staff relating to joint force 
           development activities.
Sec. 902. Sense of Congress on the United States Marine Corps.

SEC. 901. UPDATE OF STATUTORY SPECIFICATION OF FUNCTIONS OF THE 
                        CHAIRMAN OF THE JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF 
                        RELATING TO JOINT FORCE DEVELOPMENT 
                        ACTIVITIES.

    Section 153(a)(5) of title 10, United States Code, is amended by 
adding at the end the following new subparagraph:
            ``(F) Advising the Secretary on development of joint 
        command, control, communications, and cyber capability, 
        including integration and interoperability of such capability, 
        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]]

    (a) Authority to Transfer Authorizations.--
            (1) Authority.--Upon determination by the Secretary of 
        Defense that such action is necessary in the national interest, 
        the Secretary may transfer amounts of authorizations made 
        available to the Department of Defense in this division for 
        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 
        under the authority of this section may not exceed 
        $4,500,000,000.
            (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 
        dollar limitation in paragraph (2).

    (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 
transferred by an amount equal to the amount transferred.
    (d) Notice to Congress.--The Secretary shall promptly notify

    (a) Requirement for Certain Accounting Standards.--The Secretary of

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.

Inspector General shall participate in the selection of the independent 
external auditors.

                on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, and the

        audited by the Inspector General or by an independent external 
        auditor, as determined by the Inspector General; and

        of the Comptroller General of the United States under section

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.

a written certification made by the Secretary that--
            (1) the transfer concerned is in the national security 
        interests of the United States;
            (2) the government of the foreign country or the recognized

        place, to the extent relevant and necessary, to provide for 
        continued cooperation with United States intelligence and law 
        enforcement authorities.

        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;

        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

        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

        tactical, operational, or strategic requirements of the 
        combatant commanders.
            (3) A process for measuring the performance and 
        effectiveness of the demonstrations.
            (4) A coordination structure to include participation 
        between the technology development and the operational 
        communities, including potentially joint, interagency, 
        intergovernmental, and multinational partners.
            (5) The identification of potential technologies to support 
        the tactical, operational, or strategic needs of the combatant 
        commanders.

        coordinate with elements of joint, interagency, 
        intergovernmental, and multinational partners.

    (d) Congressional Notice.--Upon initiating a technology 
demonstration under subsection (b), the Secretary of Defense shall 
submit to the congressional defense committees written notice of the 
demonstration that includes a detailed description of the demonstration, 
including its purpose, cost, engagement medium, targeted audience, and 
any other details the Secretary of Defense believes will assist the 
committees in evaluating the demonstration.

    (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.

                employee will serve in the civil service for a period at 
                least equal to three times the length of the assignment,

SEC. 1232. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE GOVERNMENT OF IRAN'S MALIGN 
                          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 
        further destabilizing the region;
            (4) Iran's malign activities, continued state sponsorship 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.

                          THE INF TREATY.

    (a) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) the development and deployment of a nuclear ground-
        launched cruise missile by the Russian Federation is in 
        violation of the INF Treaty, and the Russian Federation should 
        return to compliance with the INF Treaty;
            (2) the increasing role for nuclear weapons in the Russian 
        Federation's military strategy, and the continuing violation of 
        the INF Treaty threatens the viability of the INF Treaty;
            (3) efforts taken by the President to compel the Russian 
        Federation to return to compliance with the INF Treaty, 
        including by developing military and nonmilitary options, must 
        be persistent and are in the best interests of the United 
        States, but cannot be open-ended;
            (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.

    (b) Notifications of Russian Federation Violations of INF Treaty.--
            (1) In general.--The President shall submit to the 
        appropriate congressional committees a notification of--
                    (A) whether the Russian Federation has flight-
                tested, deployed, or possesses a military system that 
                has achieved an initial operating capability that is 
                either a ground-launched ballistic missile or ground-
                launched cruise missile with a flight-tested range of 
                between 500 and 5,500 kilometers; and
                    (B) whether the Russian Federation has begun steps 
                to return to full compliance with the INF Treaty, 
                including by agreeing to inspections and verification 
                measures necessary to achieve high confidence that any

        testing, operating capability and deployment of ground launched

        Act, the Russian Federation has not begun taking measures to

        500 and 5,500 kilometers will be eliminated, the Secretary of 
        Defense shall, not later than 120 days after that date, submit

                are in compliance with the INF Treaty and including 
                capabilities that may be acquired from allies of the 
                United States.

                the forces of the United States or allies of the United

                compliance with the INF Treaty and including 
                capabilities that may be acquired from allies of the 
                United States.
                    (C) Active defenses to defend against intermediate-
                range ground-launched cruise missile attacks.

        respect to each military capability described in subparagraphs

        approximate time for achieving a Milestone A decision, if such a 
        decision is required.
            (3) Availability of funds.--Using amounts authorized to be

capability, could provide for force multiplication benefits, and could 
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

congressional committees'' means--
            (1) the congressional defense committees; and

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.

    (b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
            (1) in the past decade, competition of the management and 
        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.

        produce, at minimum, 50 to 80 pits per year, is a national 
        security priority;
            (2) delaying creation of a modern, responsive nuclear 
        infrastructure until the 2030s is an unacceptable risk to the 
        nuclear deterrent and the national security of the United 
        States; and
            (3) timelines for creating certain capacities for production 
        of plutonium pits and other nuclear weapons components must be 
        driven by the requirement to hedge against technical and 
        geopolitical risk and not solely by the needs of life extension 
        programs.

    (b) Briefing.--
            (1) In general.--Not later than March 1, 2016, the Chairman

                including the numbers of pits produced that are needed 
                for nuclear weapons life extension programs.
                    (B) The annual pit production requirement, including 
                the numbers of pits produced, to support a responsive 
                nuclear weapons infrastructure to hedge against 
                technical and geopolitical risk.
