capital funds; (3) authorize for fiscal year 2020 the personnel 
strength for each Active Duty component of the military

                    RATIONALE FOR THE COMMITTEE BILL

    H.R. 2500, the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2020, is the primary vehicle through which Congress 
fulfills its responsibility as mandated in Article I, Section 
8, of the Constitution of the United States, which grants 
Congress the power to provide for the common defense, to raise 
and support an Army, to provide and maintain a Navy, and to 
make rules for the government and regulation of the land and 
naval forces. Rule X of the House of Representatives provides 
the House Committee on Armed Services with jurisdiction over 
the Department of Defense generally and over the military 
application of nuclear energy. The committee bill includes 
findings and recommendations resulting from its oversight 
activities, conducted through hearings and briefings with 
Department of Defense and Department of Energy civilian and 
military officials, intelligence analysts, outside experts, and 
industry representatives, and it is informed by institutional 
experience. H.R. 2500 provides the Department of Defense and 
the Department of Energy with important policy authorities to 
speed decision making and improve agility, while improving 
readiness and increasing capabilities and capacities.
    H.R. 2500 addresses our country's greatest military threats 
by authorizing a defense enterprise that is inclusive, 
accountable, and responsible in the management of its 
resources. H.R. 2500 focuses on improving the lives of our men 
and women in uniform, including implementing reforms to improve 
the quality of military housing and addressing contamination 
from perfluorinated chemicals in drinking water on or near 
military bases. The committee believes our service members 
confront unique, complex challenges and deserve our support.
    The committee further believes that a challenging global 
security environment requires new ways to more affordably 
manage strategic risk by prioritizing the relevant military 
capabilities and capacities necessary to meet our greatest 
threats, adequately resource those priorities by accepting some 
risk with well-considered and agreed upon tradeoffs, and, at 
the same time, realize cost savings through oversight and 
control of unjustified costs. H.R. 2500 ensures America's 
military maintains its competitive edge on the global stage by 
executing crucial oversight focused on not only defense 
programs themselves, but also on how those programs are 
budgeted against a prioritized strategy, rather than arbitrary 
budgetary goals.
    H.R. 2500 increases accountability over how defense 
resources are allocated and spent. Funding allocated for 
defense programs should be spent on defense programs. Building 
and modernizing military capabilities and overall military 
readiness without diverting fiscal support away from 
congressionally authorized and appropriated projects, and 
critical training and maintenance functions.
    H.R. 2500 meets the committee's goal of facilitating a 
strong national defense apparatus that is resourced properly, 
accountable for its actions, and cognizant of the essential and 
direct oversight role of Congress. H.R. 2500 is consistent with 
the overall national defense spending level of $733 billion 
projected in the fiscal year 2019 Future Years Defense Program, 
and therefore would authorize approximately $724.9 billion in 
discretionary spending for the national defense programs within 
the committee's jurisdiction, including approximately $69.0 
billion of Overseas Contingency Operations funding. This 
authorization level allows our military to improve readiness, 
expand capabilities, and invest in the new software and 
technologies required to secure our country and protect us 
against our adversaries.

authorizes appropriations; subsequent appropriations acts will 
provide budget authority. However, the committee strives to 
adhere to the recommendations as issued by the Committee on the 
Budget as it relates to the jurisdiction of this committee.
    The bill addresses the following categories in the 
Department of Defense budget: procurement; research, 
development, test, and evaluation; operation and maintenance; 
military personnel; working capital funds; and military 
construction and family housing. The bill also addresses the 
Armed Forces Retirement Home, Department of Energy National 
Security Programs, the Naval Petroleum Reserve, and the 
Maritime Administration.
    Active Duty and Reserve personnel strengths authorized in 
this bill and legislation affecting compensation for military 
personnel determine the remaining appropriation requirements of 
the Department of Defense. However, this bill does not provide 
authorization of specific dollar amounts for military 
personnel.

          SUMMARY OF DISCRETIONARY AUTHORIZATIONS IN THE BILL

    The President requested discretionary budget authority of 
$741.9 billion for programs within the jurisdiction of the 
committee for fiscal year 2020. Of this amount, $642.5 billion 
was requested for ``base'' Department of Defense programs, 
$66.7 billion was requested for Overseas Contingency Operations 
requirements covering the entire fiscal year, $23.2 billion was 
requested for Department of Energy national security programs 
and the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board, and $0.3 
billion was requested for defense-related activities associated 
with the Maritime Administration.
    The committee recommends an overall discretionary 
authorization of $724.9 billion in fiscal year 2020. The 
committee authorization is a $16.8 billion increase above the 
levels provided for in the John S. McCain National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232).
    The table preceding the detailed program adjustments in 
division D of this report summarizes the committee's 
recommended discretionary authorizations by appropriation 
account for fiscal year 2020 and compares these amounts to the 
President's request.

                      BUDGET AUTHORITY IMPLICATION

    The President's total request for the national defense 
budget function (050) in fiscal year 2020 is $750.0 billion, as 
estimated by the Congressional Budget Office. In addition to 
funding for programs addressed in this bill, the total 050 
request includes discretionary funding for national defense 
programs not in the committee's jurisdiction, discretionary 
funding for programs that do not require additional 
authorization in fiscal year 2020, and mandatory programs.
    The table preceding the detailed program adjustments in 
division D of this report details changes to the budget request 
for all aspects of the national defense budget function.

            DIVISION A--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE AUTHORIZATIONS

                          TITLE I--PROCUREMENT

                       Aircraft Procurement, Army


                       Items of Special Interest


CH-47F Chinook Block II

    The budget request contained $18.2 million in advanced 
procurement for the CH-47F Block II program. The CH-47F Block 
II program is designed to upgrade the current CH-47F Block I 
heavy-lift rotorcraft to improve readiness and commonality, 
extend the useful life of the Block I version, and restore 
additional payload capacity for the airframe. The committee 
understands the budget request fully funds the completion of 
the engineering and manufacturing development (EMD) phase of 
the Block II program, and that subject to successful completion 
of the EMD phase, the Army plans to conduct a Milestone C low-
rate production decision beginning in fiscal year 2021. 
However, the committee notes the current Future Years Defense 
Program (FYDP) provides no follow-on procurement funding for 
the CH-47 Block II program. Further, the committee notes that 
the formal analysis of alternatives for the CH-47 Block II 
indicated the Army must begin to remanufacture or recapitalize 
CH-47 Block I rotorcraft between fiscal years 2024 and 2028 and 
sustain full-rate production of 12 aircraft per year by fiscal 
year 2030 in order to maintain fleet readiness. Given the lack 
of programmed funding in the FYDP for CH-47 Block II 
production, the committee is concerned about potential impacts 
this could have on the heavy-lift rotorcraft industrial base, 
as well as the effects this could have on the Army's long-term 
plans to maintain fleet readiness beyond the FYDP.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $46.2 million, an 
increase of $28.0 million, in CH-47 Helicopter advanced 
procurement for the CH-47F Block II aircraft.
    Further, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
September 2, 2019, on the potential readiness impacts to the 
current CH-47F fleet should Block II production be delayed 
post-FYDP, a cost-benefit analysis comparing CH-47 Block II 
upgrade program to CH-47F remanufacture and recapitalization 
efforts, the impacts to current MH-47G aircraft production 
given the delay of Block II production, analysis used to assess 
the strategic risk to the industrial base including the 
supplier base, and the current strategy for modernizing the 
heavy-lift rotorcraft fleet.

UH-72A Light Utility Helicopter

    The committee understands the UH-72A Lakota helicopter 
provides general aviation support for aviation units in the 
Active and Reserve Components. The committee supports the 
requirement to conduct mid-life sustainment and product 
improvement activities for the UH-72A, and supports funding to 
conduct the analysis, engineering, certification, and risk 
reduction activities necessary to update the UH-72A Life Cycle 
Support Plan. The committee also recognizes that the UH-72A was 
initially fielded without aircraft survivability equipment, 
which could potentially limit the Active Component and Army 
National Guard utilization of the UH-72A platform. As reflected 
in division D of this Act, the committee recommends additional 
funding for the National Guard and Reserve Component Equipment 
Account (NGREA). The committee understands that while no 
requirements have been formally identified for UH-72A Lakota 
ballistic armor or aircraft survivability equipment by the 
National Guard Bureau, should a requirement be put forth, the 
committee expects the Army National Guard to utilize NGREA 
funds.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by February 
1, 2020, on the Army's long-term sustainment strategy for the 
UH-72A Lakota helicopter fleet.

                       Missile Procurement, Army


                       Items of Special Interest


Indirect Fire Protection Capability Increment 2 system of systems

    The committee understands that the Indirect Fire Protection 
Capability Increment 2 system of systems (IFPC Inc 2) is a 
mobile, ground-based weapon system intended to defend fixed and 
semi-fixed sites and address numerous capability gaps for 
cruise missile defense (CMD), counter-unmanned aerial systems 
(C-UAS), and counter-rocket, artillery, and mortar (C-RAM). The 
committee notes that since March 2018, the Army has evaluated 
existing air defense systems in order to rapidly acquire and 
field an interim capability while concurrently evaluating 
solutions for an enduring IFPC Inc 2 system to meet the full 
spectrum of requirements and threats. The committee understands 
that based on the Army's analysis of cost, schedule, and 
performance, as well as the fielding requirements for an 
interim CMD capability required by section 112 of the John S. 
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 
(Public Law 115-232), the Army will field two interim IFPC 
batteries of Iron Dome in fiscal year 2020, while concurrently 
developing and evaluating a complete system solution--radar, 
launcher, and interceptor--for an enduring IFPC capability.
    The committee supports the Army's IFPC system acquisition 
strategy, including the immediate procurement of two Iron Dome 
batteries to meet the statutory schedule requirements for an 
interim capability, however, the committee requires additional 
fidelity into the acquisition strategy and plan for the 
enduring IFPC requirement. Accordingly, the committee directs 
the Secretary of the Army to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by November 1, 2019, on the 
progress of fielding an Iron Dome interim IFPC system for CMD, 
as well as an update on the status of development of an 
enduring capability for IFPC Inc 2 to include the acquisition 
strategy for the enduring requirement with the associated 
funding profiles required to remain in compliance with section 
112 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2019 (Public Law 115-232).

M240 medium machine gun industrial base

    The committee remains concerned with the stability of the 
M240 medium machine gun small arms industrial base. The budget 
request included $0.9 million for M240 production, however no 
additional funds are projected in the Future Years Defense 
Program (FYDP). The committee understands that this lack of 
funding beyond 2020 may result in a shutdown of the M240 
production line, resulting in a significant negative impact on 
the U.S. small arms industrial base. The committee encourages 
the Army to develop and implement a long-term investment and 
sustainment plan for the family of M240 medium machine guns 
that ensures appropriate support for fielded weapons and 
mitigates risk to the small arms industrial base. As a part of 
this investment and sustainment plan, the committee encourages 
the Army to establish a recapitalization program, wherein 
legacy M240B models would be replaced by the modern, lighter-
weight, and more reliable M240L model.

TOW 2B missile system

    The committee is aware that the Army is developing the next 
version of its TOW 2B tactical missile system that will serve 
as the primary anti-armor weapon for the Optionally Manned 
Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) program. The committee also understands 
that the Army wants to accelerate development and fielding of 
the OMFV, but it is not clear that the development and fielding 
schedule for the new TOW 2B missile is aligned with the 
schedule for OMFV.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the 
Army to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by February 3, 2020, on the current plans for 
development and fielding of the TOW 2B missile, including how 
the Army will synchronize the availability of a new TOW 2B 
missile with fielding of the OMFV.

        Procurement of Weapons and Tracked Combat Vehicles, Army


                       Items of Special Interest


Vehicle active protection systems

    The committee understands the Army is working quickly to 
procure and field non-developmental item (NDI) vehicle active 
protection systems (V-APS) for combat and tactical vehicles to 
address immediate operational needs. The committee notes for 
example the Army will procure equipment sets of Trophy APS for 
installation on the M1 Abrams tanks of four armored brigades, 
including a brigade set for U.S. European Command's 
prepositioned stocks. While the committee supports the Army's 
NDI V-APS efforts and is encouraged by the successful testing, 
integration, and operational effectiveness of Trophy on Abrams 
tanks, the committee is concerned that the Army has no strategy 
to develop or acquire training devices related to Trophy or 
other V-APS systems under consideration for the Bradley and 
Stryker armored vehicles.
    The committee also understands the Army is concurrently 
developing an objective, long-term V-APS solution that would 
field an open architecture compliant V-APS system with other 
vehicle protection capabilities, and that current NDI V-APS 
systems, such as Trophy, are potential candidates for further 
development and integration. The committee expects the Army to 
benefit from the data collected during this expedited NDI V-APS 
effort to better inform their long-term strategy as well as 
look for ways to accelerate development and procurement. 
Additionally, the Committee needs to better understand if the 
Army is considering ``hybrid'' solutions that would include 
fielding an advanced APS, that would work in concert with 
passive protection technologies, such as improved armor, to 
deliver substantial survivability enhancements.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary 
of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than November 29, 2019, on the requirements and 
acquisition strategy for both near-term and long-term V-APS 
efforts, including technology, schedule, and funding profiles 
associated with development and acquisition of training devices 
for the various V-APS being developed, installed, or planned 
for installation on combat and tactical vehicles. The briefing 
should also include courses of action for accelerating the 
development of the objective V-APS long-term solution and 
options for expanding the fielding of NDI APS solutions to 
additional current or future combat vehicles, a detailed 
summary of recent Stryker APS testing to date, and an analysis 
of the relative merits of hybrid protection technologies.

                    Procurement of Ammunition, Army


                       Items of Special Interest


Army vertical lift munitions

    The committee expects that the Army's future vertical lift 
systems will be equipped to operate successfully against peer 
and near-peer adversaries. Such systems will need new weapon 
capabilities and munitions that can effectively engage 
adversary targets from standoff ranges that are beyond line-of-
sight or over-the-horizon. To be successful, these munitions 
must operate despite adversary technologies for jamming, 
spoofing, and GPS denial.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to submit a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives by February 1, 2020, on 
Army vertical lift munition range and operating environment 
capabilities gaps, if any, and potential developmental and off-
the-shelf solutions associated with those gaps. The report 
shall include the following:
    (1) an identification and assessment of current U.S. 
vertical lift munition capabilities and capabilities gaps, if 
any, against near-peer adversaries;
    (2) an identification and assessment of U.S. and allied 
off-the-shelf and developmental solutions to meet these 
capability gaps, if any, including munitions that the United 
States has tested or will test;
    (3) an identification and assessment of any completed or 
planned testing of developmental munitions in calendar years 
2019 and 2020, including: an assessment of the effectiveness 
and suitability of the tested munitions; an assessment of 
whether the tested munitions could replace, supplement, or 
duplicate current capabilities; a comparison of the tested 
munitions capabilities to relevant currently fielded munitions; 
and plans, if any, to do a near-term fielding or operational 
evaluation of the tested munitions; and
    (4) an estimate of the cost and schedule for the Army to 
develop and produce new capabilities, and acquire and field as 
an interim solution any existing capabilities that have been 
tested and would provide an acceptable solution for capability 
gaps.

M58 Mine Clearing Line Charge

    The committee encourages the Army to accelerate 
modifications and upgrades to the M58 Mine Clearing Line Charge 
(MICLIC) system. The committee notes the current fielded MCLIC 
system has been operational since the 1970s and continues to be 
employed by the Army and Marine Corps. Furthermore, according 
to the report submitted to the committee by the Army, as 
required in the committee report accompanying the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (H. Rept. 115-
676), the MICLIC's system operational readiness rate is 73 
percent, which is below the requirement of 78 percent. The 
committee also notes that employment success rates are only 50 
percent based on data from units rotating through Combat 
Training Centers. The committee notes with concern that the 
MICLIC has not seen any significant upgrade in capability since 
its introduction, and does not meet the mission readiness and 
employment requirements.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by November 
1, 2019, on the Army's plan for upgrading or replacing the M58 
MICLIC system. The briefing should include:
    (1) the updated capability requirements for a solution that 
addresses the readiness and reliability concerns of the current 
MICLIC;
    (2) a plan and timeline to upgrade the current system or 
field a newer variant; and
    (3) a funding profile over time for costs associated with 
the research, development, test, and production of a new 
system.

Self-propelled 155mm and 105mm artillery systems

    The committee understands the Army continues to examine the 
operational benefits of procuring a self-propelled 105mm and 
155mm howitzer mounted on the High Mobility Multipurpose 
Wheeled Vehicle (HMMWV) in order to address existing capability 
gaps for infantry brigade combat teams (IBCTs) indirect fires 
capabilities. The committee understands that recent 
demonstrations at Fort Sill as part of the Army's Maneuver and 
Fires Integration Experiment produced positive results. In the 
report to accompany the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2019 (H. Rept. 115-676) the committee directed the 
Army to assess the advisability and feasibility of accelerating 
the technology development and procurement of potential HMMWV-
mounted self-propelled 105mm and 155mm howitzers. The committee 
notes the Army indicated in this report that developing such a 
capability is both advisable and feasible and that the Fires 
Center of Excellence at Fort Sill is exploring options for 
rapid prototyping and operational assessments of a HMWWV-
mounted 155mm howitzer to address IBCT capability gaps. The 
committee supports these ongoing efforts and encourages the 
Army to continue further study and development of HMWWV-mounted 
self-propelled 105mm and 155mm howitzers.

                        Other Procurement, Army


                       Items of Special Interest


Advanced medium mobile power sources

    The budget request contained $58.5 million for generators 
and associated equipment of which $44.2 million was included 
for advanced medium mobile power sources (AMMPS). AMMPS is a 
modernization program to provide 5-60 kilowatt (kW) generators 
in either a skid, trailer mounted, or microgrid configuration. 
The committee notes AMMPS replaces legacy generators and will 
provide the Department of Defense with an upgraded standard 
fleet of tactical electric power. The committee understands 
AMMPS has improved fuel efficiency by an average of 21 percent 
with a return on investment in the range of 10 to 31 months 
from fuel savings. The committee also notes that AMMPS 
significantly reduces the logistics footprint and burden 
through utilization of 52 percent commonality of parts across 
all models as well as demonstrating improved reliability. The 
committee is encouraged by Department of Defense efforts to 
increase fuel efficiency, improve combat capability, decrease 
tactical risk, and reduce overall cost of generators. For 
example, the committee is aware the Army and Marine Corps are 
incorporating microgrid control capability on all current 30kW 
to 60kW generator set models that automatically starts and 
stops generators based on load demand. The committee encourages 
the military services to incorporate an energy storage module 
with generator sets to provide even more energy-efficient 
power.

AN/PEQ-15 Pointer, Illuminator, Aiming Laser capability enhancement/
        upgrade strategy

    The committee is aware of the Army's Soldier Lethality 
Cross-Functional Team's efforts to enhance the capability of 
the AN/PEQ-15 Pointer, Illuminator, Aiming Laser. The committee 
is concerned, however, that the AN/PEQ-15 is approaching 
obsolescence, is no longer under a formal sustainment program 
of record, and is not optimized for use with the Army's new 
ENVG-B night vision device. A solution is needed that will 
provide a capability bridge until a new family of weapons 
sights is developed, tested, produced, and fielded. The 
committee is aware that the Army has tested a possible AN/PEQ-
15 replacement through a limited user evaluation that 
distributed 700 test items to selected brigade combat teams. 
The committee supports the Army's rapid development and 
acquisition approach for such a bridge capability and directs 
the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, 
and Technology to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than November 1, 2019, on the strategy 
for development and replacement of the AN/PEQ-15.

Global Positioning System denied environments

    The committee recognizes the need to improve the capability 
of U.S. forces to operate in denied environments where access 
to the Global Positioning System (GPS) is not assured. 
Potential adversaries are using advanced air defense systems 
and GPS-jamming and spoofing systems to deny or disrupt U.S. 
forces access, information gathering, precision strike, and 
navigation.
    The committee notes that section 1239 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-
91) required the Secretary of Defense to develop a strategy to 
counter this specific threat. The committee recognizes that the 
Department of Defense has made progress with GPS satellite-
related GPS III and M-Code development. The committee is 
concerned, however, that U.S. forces should avoid becoming 
reliant on a single solution or technology, especially with 
increasing ground-based threats to satellites.
    The committee is also concerned about an apparent 
capability gap in which current air-to-ground weapon programs 
do not provide adequate range or precision-strike capabilities 
needed for operating environments in which access to GPS is not 
assured. The committee encourages the Department of Defense to 
consider available off-the-shelf systems to meet this 
capability gap quickly.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing 
to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
November 1, 2019, on efforts, including developmental and non-
developmental item acquisition programs, to address U.S. 
munition capability gaps for longer range systems operating in 
GPS-denied or -degraded environment.

High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle recapitalization

    The committee encourages the Secretary of the Army to use 
the funds made available for High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled 
Vehicle (HMMWV) modernization or recapitalization to procure 
new HMMWVs or fully restore HMMWVs to a ``like-new'' zero-
hours, zero-miles condition through the installation of a new, 
modernized powertrain. The committee believes that modernizing 
or recapitalizing HMMWVs with a more capable powertrain could 
better support future advanced technology insertions as well as 
other capability upgrades to the HMMWV fleet, which in turn 
should reduce sustainment costs and logistics challenges 
associated with obsolete, expensive, or less-suitable parts.

Requirements and Capabilities for Military Shelter Systems Ballistic 
        Protection

    The committee notes that in forward deployed environments, 
service members must often work, eat, and rest in military 
shelter systems. The committee further notes the importance of 
providing service members with military shelter systems that, 
under certain threat conditions, offer protection against small 
arms fire and fragmentation. Under such operational conditions, 
military shelter systems may require ballistic protection that 
can be quickly transported, assembled, and disassembled as 
required to meet mission requirements.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide 
the House Committee on Armed Services, no later than December 
1, 2019, with a briefing on the requirements for and 
capabilities of the Army's expeditionary military shelter 
systems. The briefing shall include an analysis of the 
ballistic protection capabilities and transportation 
requirements of such military shelter systems.

Tactical Communications and Protective System

    The committee is aware that the Tactical Communications and 
Protective System (TCAPS) and TCAPS-Lite programs provide 
active hearing protection simultaneously protecting service 
members' hearing while enabling situational awareness and 
mission command. The Army notes in their budget justification 
documents that these hearing protection systems are also 
intended to limit lost in-service time related to hearing 
injuries as well as reduce post-service disability 
compensation. The committee understands that the TCAPS and 
TCAPS-Lite programs have been cancelled and that combat 
earplugs will be relied upon to meet hearing protection 
requirements. The committee is concerned that combat earplugs 
have had significant issues related to performance and quality 
control in the past that likely resulted in hearing loss to 
military personnel.
    Considering the Army's decision to discontinue the TCAPS 
and TCAPS-Lite programs, the committee directs the Secretary of 
the Army to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services no later than September 1, 2019, on the Army's plan to 
provide advanced, active hearing protection with an appropriate 
noise reduction rating that simultaneously enables situational 
awareness and mission command and control. This briefing should 
also address the level of protection and functionality combat 
earplugs provide for service members and how those levels of 
protection and functionality compare to a TCAPS headset and 
TCAPS-Lite active hearing devices. The committee encourages the 
Department of Defense to develop a list of evaluated, off-the-
shelf active hearing protection devices authorized for service 
and review this list as part of the required briefing.

Transportable Tactical Command Communications

    The committee recognizes that the Transportable Tactical 
Command Communications (T2C2) system provides satellite 
communications to early entry ground forces and provides 
increased capability in mission command, as well as significant 
advancements in situational awareness. The committee 
understands that T2C2 expeditionary satellite antennas provide 
increased operational flexibility and speed of maneuver while 
supporting forces in austere locations with high bandwidth 
requirements. Continued investment in the basic technology 
comprising the T2C2 system could enable immediate enhancements 
to the capability and allow the Army to standardize its 
expeditionary satellite system. The committee encourages the 
Army to consider the operational benefits of a common 
expeditionary terminal, based on T2C2, that would meet relevant 
tactical satellite communication requirements and potentially 
extend the operational footprint well beyond current 
technology, support intelligence, surveillance, and 
reconnaissance and mission command systems, and reduce demand 
on satellite resources. The committee believes the Army could 
realize significant advantages from developing a consistent and 
interoperable satellite communications capability across 
multiple programs and encourages further acceleration of those 
efforts in light of potential and considerable life-cycle cost 
savings.

                       Aircraft Procurement, Navy


                       Items of Special Interest


Carrier strike group anti-submarine warfare capabilities

    The committee is increasingly concerned with the aircraft 
carrier's organic anti-submarine warfare (ASW) capabilities. 
The carrier strike group's (CSG) primary ASW sensor continues 
to have a high component failure rate that has depleted the 
spares inventory, impacting deployed and non-deployed 
readiness. The Navy also recently canceled the Surface Ship 
Torpedo Defense (SSTD) program that would have provided a much-
needed defensive capability for the aircraft carrier. The 
budget request acknowledged the reliability issues of the 
Airborne Low Frequency Sonar (ALFS) system and is requesting 
funds for a variety of improvement initiatives to increase 
reliability. Rather than continuing to fund legacy systems, the 
committee believes that advances in anti-submarine warfare 
systems, manufactured in the United States and in use 
worldwide, could provide a better alternative. The committee is 
encouraged by advances in dipping sonar utilizing low frequency 
detection and beam-forming technologies, allowing multiple 
boundary interactions, and interoperability with shipboard 
sonars and sonobuoys. Moreover, these advances in technology 
are derived from U.S. sources.
    Therefore, the committee encourages the Secretary of the 
Navy to consider procuring one helicopter-mounted and one 
unmanned surface vessel-mounted low frequency (less than 2KHz) 
active sonar system to demonstrate other viable alternative 
technologies currently available for a CSG ASW risk reduction 
effort.
    The committee recommends $2.5 million for MH-60 
modifications and $2.5 million for the Littoral Combat Ship 
Anti-Submarine Warfare Mission Module to support a technology 
demonstration of alternative low frequency active sonars.

F/A-18 infrared search and track

    The budget request contained $1.2 billion for F-18 
aircraft, of which $85.8 million is for the infrared search and 
track (IRST) technology procurement.
    The committee notes that IRST is an evolutionary program 
that will provide the F/A-18E/F (Lot 26 and up) with an 
alternative fire control system to detect and track objects 
from a significant distance while operating in a contested 
environment involving high-electronic attack and radar-denied 
capabilities employed by adversaries. According to the 
Government Accountability Office, the IRST program entered low-
rate production in December 2018, with an unstable design and 
undemonstrated critical manufacturing processes, but despite 
those shortfalls, the Secretary of the Navy awarded contracts 
to procure 24 IRST systems to date, or 14 percent of the 170 
total planned systems. The committee notes the Navy did not 
conduct a production readiness review to assess design 
stability and manufacturing readiness that could have informed 
the decision whether or not to award low-rate production 
contracts. As a result, the Secretary may need to retrofit up 
to 18 early production IRST systems at a cost of $2.0 million 
each. The committee assesses that the Navy could reduce 
procurement of IRST systems in the near term without negatively 
affecting IRST production, and notes that the production 
readiness review is scheduled to occur at least 6 months prior 
to the IRST system deliveries associated with the December 2018 
contract award.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $1.1 billion, a 
decrease of $67.4 million, for F-18 aircraft and the associated 
IRST technology procurement.

MH-53E modernization and sustainment strategy

    The committee is concerned with the readiness and 
modernization trajectory of the Navy MH-53E fleet. Without 
sufficient resources and attention, MH-53E readiness levels 
will continue to decline. The committee notes that the Marine 
Corps CH-53E reset program has improved readiness levels and 
that the Army has achieved similar success using similar reset 
programs for a variety of rotorcraft platforms. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than September 1, 2019, on the MH-53E fleet modernization and 
sustainment strategy. This briefing shall include an assessment 
of the feasibility and cost of reversing MH-53 readiness 
declines through a reset program similar to the Marine CH-53E 
reset program.

Navy Reserve F/A-18 aircraft

    The committee remains concerned over the health and 
readiness of the Navy Reserve combat aircraft fleet, a 
strategic reserve available to the U.S. Navy. The Reserve fleet 
provides critical adversary support and strike fighter weapons 
training to Active Duty forces and must maintain a high 
mobilization readiness level for deployment in the event of war 
or national emergency. The aging aircraft the Reserve squadrons 
fly are no longer compatible with today's carrier air wing and 
these aircraft are increasingly less capable than the F/A-18E/F 
Super Hornets. The committee believes this could impact the 
ability of Navy Reserve squadrons in meeting requirements for 
advanced strike employment, as well as simulating current 
advanced threat aircraft. Recapitalizing and modernizing the 
Reserve squadrons with newer platforms would enable the Navy 
Reserve units to maintain dedicated advanced adversary 
squadrons with next generation capability in order to provide 
realistic threat-representative training for naval aviators and 
to maintain operational readiness that provides a relevant and 
deployable force multiplier to the Active Duty air wings.
    The committee encourages the Secretary of the Navy, in 
coordination with the Chief of the Navy Reserve, to continue to 
recapitalize the squadrons to maintain the Navy Reserve combat 
aircraft fleet.

Recapitalization of Navy Reserve P-3C squadrons

    The budget request contained $1.2 billion for six P-8A 
Poseidon aircraft. The budget request for fiscal year 2020 did 
not take into account the increased warfighter requirement of 
21 additional P-8A aircraft. This increase is driven by the 
proliferation of adversarial submarine fleets and their 
increasingly active operational tempo. The new requirement 
includes 12 aircraft to recapitalize the two maritime patrol 
and reconnaissance squadrons assigned to the Navy Reserve. 
These squadrons currently operate legacy P-3C Orion aircraft 
and the Chief of Navy Reserve estimates they will decommission 
by 2023 unless they are outfitted with new aircraft. The 
committee is encouraged by the Navy's recognition of the Navy 
Reserve force and the contribution they can provide to the 
increased requirement for the P-8A. However, the committee was 
discouraged that the Navy failed to budget for the additional 
aircraft to meet the warfighting requirement.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by March 1, 2020, that outlines a plan to recapitalize the two 
Navy Reserve squadrons with P-8A aircraft prior to 2023. The 
briefing should include estimated acquisition costs, 
acquisition timelines, aircraft fielding schedules, and 
manpower impacts to the Navy Reserve. The committee also notes 
that this information should have been briefed at the beginning 
of the budget cycle.
    The committee recommends $1.75 billion for P-8A 
procurement, an increase of $541.2 million, to procure three 
additional aircraft in fiscal year 2020.

Advanced Low-Cost Munitions Ordnance

    The committee continues to support the accelerated 
development and deployment of the Advanced Low-Cost Munitions 
Ordnance (ALaMO), a guided 57mm projectile, with fire-and-
forget capability. This projectile is designed to counter the 
growing threats posed by small boat swarms, unmanned aerial 
systems, and other emerging threats. Furthermore, the committee 
supports expanding the testing to fully establish the ALaMO 
capabilities in additional tactical scenarios, including 
against both surface and air targets, and informing the 
operational utility across the threat spectrum.

Amphibious Forces Modernization

    While the Secretary of the Navy has been taking certain 
steps to modernize forces to operate in a contested 
environment, the committee believes that the Department of the 
Navy needs to aggressively assess and optimize future forces.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to submit a brief to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
February 1, 2020 as to options to improve procurement protocols 
with legacy and future forces force structure requirements. 
Such briefing shall include each of the following: amphibious 
warfare concepts and requirements as they relate to 
shipbuilding and modernization; options to garner efficiencies 
into amphibious ship acquisition; an assessment to optimize the 
current and projected aviation and surface connectors strategy; 
options to expand aviation projection from amphibious vessels; 
options to expand command and control networks; options to 
incorporate vertical launch systems; and a fiscal assessment of 
these options.

AN/SPY-6(V) on DDG-51 Flight IIA

    The committee notes the President's budget request for the 
Air and Missile Defense Radar (AMDR) stated that fiscal year 
2020 funds ``are required to scale AMDR to backfit Active 
Electronically-Steered Array and digital beamforming technology 
on a Flight IIA DDG and to complete development of Advanced 
Distributed Radar (ADR) capability for integration into AMDR.'' 
The committee fully supports the funding of these efforts in 
fiscal year 2020 and encourages the Navy to accelerate the 
procurement of AN/SPY-6 radars for the modernization of DDG 51 
Flight IIA ships into fiscal year 2021. As such, the committee 
directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2020, on the cost 
and technical feasibility of an accelerated plan for 
modernizing DDG 51 Flight IIA ships with AN/SPY-6 radars.

Classified Briefing on Funding Requirements for Strategic Weapons 
        Systems

    The committee notes the Navy provides the most survivable 
leg of the triad with Ohio Class SSBNs and the Trident II (D5) 
strategic weapon systems (SWS) they carry. SSBNs are 
responsible for a significant majority of the United States' 
operationally deployed nuclear warheads. The Chief of Naval 
Operations has made clear the priority the Navy places on the 
sustainment and modernization of the undersea leg of the triad, 
directing the Navy to ``be ready to deploy USS Columbia (SSBN 
826) as quickly as possible-beating the current schedule-in 
order to preserve our ability to defeat the threat.''
    If critical and necessary programs such as Increment 8 are 
further delayed due to funding issues, the Columbia class will 
be without critical subsystems such as a navigator and the 
United States will fail to meet international commitments to 
the United Kingdom under the Polaris Sales Agreement by not 
delivering inertial navigation equipment to the United Kingdom 
Shipyard in 2025.
    If critical and necessary programs such as Increment 15 are 
further delayed due to funding issues, future integration on 
the Columbia and Dreadnought systems and delivery of a required 
network cross-domain solution capability to meet DOD cyber 
requirements will not be met in time. Elimination of this 
funding will result in significant obsolescence-related risk to 
the Ohio fire control system in addition to increasing 
cybersecurity-related risk.
    Proposed reductions in Navy Strategic Systems Programs 
(SSP) support equipment impacts include additional maintenance 
costs on the current support equipment and an increase in the 
risk of being able to support missile processing and disposal 
requirements at the strategic weapon facilities. This, in turn, 
increases the risk of being unable to support SSBN onload/
offload requirements.
    If the Life Extension 2 funding cuts are sustained, the 
Navy's ability to field the next life extended missile on the 
Columbia Class is at significant risk. Additionally, the delay 
in schedule could impact international agreements with the 
United Kingdom as that government will procure the TRIDENT II 
D5LE2 SWS missiles for their Dreadnought platform.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide 
a classified briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
no later than December 1, 2019, on the ramifications of failing 
to adequately fund its strategic weapons system.

Composite materials

    The committee notes that composite materials may offer 
superior capabilities over legacy steel applications both in 
terms of long-term maintenance and increased operational 
availability. The committee believes that the Secretary of the 
Navy should assess composite options in the analysis of 
alternatives as they consider complex naval components and 
elements. Specifically, the committee believes that an 
assessment of composite shafting and deckhouse modules should 
be included in any future naval vessel acquisition to include 
the development of the Large Surface Combatant, the next block 
of Virginia-class submarines, and the development of the next 
generation attack submarine.

DDG Aegis modernization

    The committee recognizes the need and importance to deliver 
increased warfighting capability to the over seven dozen ships 
that comprise the existing fleet of Aegis destroyers via the 
ongoing destroyer modernization program as well as through new 
construction of the Flight III Arleigh Burke Aegis destroyers. 
Together, these efforts will provide our nation with the most 
powerful frontline warships, which will include robust 
integrated air and missile defense capabilities. However, the 
committee is concerned that there is an excessive amount of 
variance of Aegis baselines within the current fleet, and that 
the Navy should consider potential ways to accelerate 
modernization efforts that will reduce combat system variances. 
The committee also understands that there are new initiatives 
which leverage advances in digital technology, solid-state 
hardware, small and modular virtualization techniques, and 
other innovative hardware and software upgrades that can better 
sustain the in-service destroyers to the end of their extended 
service lives.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than March 1, 2020, on initiatives that support a 
complementary approach to provide more rapid fielding of 
improvements for Aegis fleet readiness, lethality, and 
survivability.

Frigate requirements review

    The committee supports the Navy's efforts to leverage 
mature technologies and systems for the new Frigate class 
(FFG(X)), and continues to encourage the Secretary of the Navy 
to emphasize risk reduction efforts, commonality, and reduced 
life-cycle sustainment costs in developing a best-value 
solution. The committee also believes that the Navy should not 
trade warfighting capabilities for other considerations, 
particularly in anti-submarine warfare (ASW). Given ongoing 
efforts by adversarial nations to increase the capability, 
lethality, and size of their respective submarine fleets, the 
committee recognizes the projected role the FFG(X) will play in 
performing ASW missions. As such, it is imperative that the 
platform be deployed with the most capable ASW technology 
available.

Future Fleet Architecture

    The committee notes that the National Defense Strategy 
indicates that the United States is in a great powers 
competition to include the Russian Federation and the People's 
Republic of China. The committee also believes that this great 
powers competition will heavily rely on our naval force 
structure to optimally address Russia and China in both the 
Pacific and the Arctic, as well as impending tensions with the 
Iranian regime in the Persian Gulf. The committee believes that 
it is imperative to include a larger long-term force structure 
to address these global challenges. The committee also believes 
that to ensure a continued projection of naval power around the 
world, the Navy should include in their forthcoming 2019 Force 
Structure Assessment necessary vessels to address sufficient 
operations in the Arctic. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of the Navy to brief the House Committee on Armed 
Services by December 31, 2019 regarding the force structure 
plan to compete with adversaries in the Pacific and Arctic 
Oceans and the Persian Gulf. This briefing should also address 
the defense industrial base and any associated maritime sector 
weaknesses that need to be addressed to support the expanded 
force structure.

John Lewis fleet oiler replenishment ships

    The budget request included $1.1 billion for procurement of 
the John Lewis (T-AO) class fleet replenishment oiler. The 
committee continues to be supportive of the Navy's plan to 
procure the T-AO oilers. This ship will operate as the primary 
fuel pipeline from resupply ports to station ships, providing 
replenishment of bulk petroleum products, dry stores/packaged 
cargo, fleet freight, mail, and personnel to combatants and 
support forces underway. As a secondary mission, the T-AO will 
accompany and stay on-station with the carrier strike group to 
provide replenishment as required to customer ships. This ship 
will be a critical leg of the Navy's logistical framework. The 
committee understands that the Navy chose to accelerate the 
procurement of one T-AO from fiscal year 2021 to fiscal year 
2020 but due to long lead procurement items, this ship will not 
start construction until 2021.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $607.2 million, a 
reduction of $447.0 million, for the T-AO program.

MK 18 unmanned underwater vehicle

    The committee is encouraged by the Navy's ongoing efforts 
to explore, demonstrate, and prove the utility of unmanned 
underwater vehicles (UUVs) across multiple concepts of 
operation. The committee recognizes that the MK 18 program is a 
scalable and modular, open system architecture vehicle that is 
currently conducting operations and being equipped with the 
sensors that could allow it to perform additional U.S. Navy 
mine countermeasures UUV missions. Furthermore, the MK 18 could 
be adapted via the engineering change proposal process to meet 
numerous emerging technical needs that could satisfy cross-
domain requirements. The Navy is strongly encouraged to assure 
consideration of cross-domain employment of UUVs in this 
critical mission area.

Naval Oceanographic Office vessel requirements

    The committee notes that the Naval Oceanographic Office 
(NAVOCEANO) operates seven oceanographic ships. These seven 
ships are designated the T-AGS 60 class and are designed to 
provide multipurpose oceanographic capabilities in coastal and 
deep-ocean areas for NAVOCEANO. The committee is aware of 
existing commercial advances in autonomous survey vessel 
technology and notes that there are unmanned vessels currently 
being used to support surveying and other important commercial 
hydrography and oceanography missions. The committee is 
concerned that the Navy is not taking advantage of commercially 
available autonomous vessel technologies to facilitate its 
charting and mapping missions. The committee believes 
employment of an autonomous survey ship by the Navy 
Oceanographic Office would result in dramatic savings in both 
procurement and operation and maintenance costs while 
increasing the rate at which uncharted portions of the ocean 
floor become accurately mapped. The use of existing unmanned 
surface vessel (USV) designs and technology for an autonomous 
survey vessel would also allow the Navy to rapidly gain 
valuable experience in the operational use of USVs in a low 
threat environment.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by March 1, 2020, that includes NAVOCEANO's ship requirements 
and an assessment of the opportunities to modernize this fleet 
to support autonomous operations.

Navy Cyclone-class patrol craft replacement

    The committee notes that the legacy Cyclone-class patrol 
vessels located in Bahrain are being decommissioned and 
eventually replaced with the littoral combat ship. The 
committee is aware that the U.S. Coast Guard's Sentinel-class 
fast response cutter is in serial production and that the U.S. 
Coast Guard is pursuing a 64-vessel program of record. The 
committee believes that there is merit in reviewing all 
available options to replace the Cyclone-class patrol vessels.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not 
later than February 1, 2020, that assesses options for the 
replacement of the Cyclone-class patrol vessels. Specifically, 
this report shall include a comparison of the Cyclone-class 
patrol vessels, Independence variant littoral combat ship, 
Freedom-class variant littoral combat ship, the Sentinel-class 
fast response cutter, and larger surface combatants in terms of 
one-time procurement costs, annual recurring personnel costs, 
and annual recurring maintenance costs. Additionally, this 
report shall assess the ability to meet the mission 
requirements of the current patrol craft. This report may 
include a classified annex.

Navy study on lethality of surface combatant ships against swarm 
        technology

    The committee is concerned that the Navy may be assuming 
too much risk with respect to the development of swarm tactics 
by adversaries. The committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to conduct a study on the lethality of surface combatant ships, 
both large and small against swarm technology, and deliver a 
report to Congress not later than January 1, 2021. Such study 
shall include each of the following at a minimum:
    (1) a threat analysis of current threat capabilities from 
foreign adversaries regarding swarm tactics using manned or 
unmanned aerial vehicles, unmanned underwater vehicles, and 
unmanned surface vehicles within ten nautical miles of coast 
line, sea ports and adversary ships;
    (2) a description of the current capabilities used by the 
Navy that have the capability or are designed specifically to 
counter swarm technology through kinetic means; electronic 
warfare; or directed energy; and
    (3) a description of future requirements for large and 
small surface combatant ships, including the capability of 
defending against swarm tactics and advancing technology; the 
capability of engaging swarm targets from port and starboard 
sides with the same effects as the bow; the capability of 
adding additional systems onto the hull of a surface combatant 
ship, both large and small, to enhance lethality against swarm 
and other threats; and a comparison between directly manned 
weapon systems and remote weapon stations.

Report on operational energy planning assumptions for the future 
        surface combatant

    The committee understands that hybrid electric drive (HED) 
propulsion systems provide both greater efficiency and extended 
range. Equally important, such drives provide the power needed 
for future weapons systems that will be used on U.S. Navy 
vessels, and often come with lower life-cycle costs than 
conventional propulsion systems. Given these benefits, the 
committee believes the Navy should be pursuing HED propulsion 
systems more aggressively, to include consideration on the 
future large surface combatant.
    The committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide 
a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than February 1, 2020, on the propulsion systems being 
considered for the future surface combatant. In addition to 
describing the type of system, for example, integrated 
propulsion and hybrid electric drive, the report shall include 
initial cost, life-cycle cost, range, and the system's ability 
to provide adequate power for future weapons systems including 
directed energy and rail gun. The report should also include 
potential opportunities to prototype new propulsion systems in 
order to accelerate the technology, and field a more mature 
system that can be integrated into a ship.

Virginia-class submarine

    The committee has heard consistent testimony from combatant 
commanders about the important role that the attack submarine 
fleet plays in persistent operations around the world and in 
potential conflict scenarios against near-peer competitors. The 
committee has also repeatedly expressed concern about the 
current and looming shortfall in the Navy's attack submarine 
fleet. The 2016 Force Structure Assessment increased the 
required force structure of attack submarines from 48 to 66, 
the largest increase of any ship type in the assessment. At the 
same time, the fiscal year 2020 30-year shipbuilding plan shows 
that the attack submarine force will experience the largest and 
most persistent gap below its required level between fiscal 
year 2020 and fiscal year 2049, reaching a low of 42 submarines 
in 2027.
    The committee has heard testimony from Department of the 
Navy leadership on the benefits that increasing Virginia-class 
submarine production would have on the submarine industrial 
base. Navy leadership has testified that the industrial base 
has existing capacity to handle the increased workload as 
indicated in the fiscal year 2019 and fiscal year 2020 30-year 
shipbuilding plans. Navy leadership has testified that 
strengthening the submarine industrial base through increasing 
Virginia-class submarine procurement above the two-per-year 
build rate will be beneficial for the Columbia-class submarine 
program through increased capacity in advance of serial 
production beginning in the mid-2020s and addressing potential 
workload and workforce gaps in early procurement years. Navy 
leaders have also testified that the Virginia-class submarine 
program is among the best-performing acquisition programs in 
the Department of Defense. Therefore, the committee highly 
supports the addition of a third submarine in fiscal year 2020 
and believes there are additional savings that can be achieved 
across the class due to the increase in economic order 
quantity.

                       Procurement, Marine Corps


                       Items of Special Interest


Rapid acquisition of Rifle Integrated Controller

    The committee understands the Marine Corps is currently 
evaluating a rifle accessory control unit (RACU) using a two-
phase process through the Marine Corps Foreign Comparative Test 
(FCT) program that should result in fielding capability 
improvements in the operational performance and close-combat 
lethality of individual marines. The committee understands the 
phase 2 evaluation should conclude by the end of fiscal year 
2019 and that the Marine Corps will use the information and 
data gathered during the FCT program to inform future 
requirements. The committee recognizes the challenges that 
exist for an individual marine to operate separate situational 
awareness, communications, target designators, thermal sights, 
and other battle management devices and notes a RACU system 
would consolidate these disparate capabilities into one unified 
capability.
    The committee expects the Marine Corps to expeditiously 
complete the phase 2 evaluation and, subject to a successful 
evaluation, expects the capability to result in a validated 
requirement. The committee encourages the Commandant of the 
Marine Corps to consider a rapid acquisition strategy to 
accelerate the operational testing, procurement, and fielding 
of a RACU utilizing existing acquisition reform authorities.

                    Aircraft Procurement, Air Force


                       Items of Special Interest


A-10 aircraft

    The budget request contained $168.9 million for A-10 
aircraft modifications and upgrades, of which $100.0 million 
was included for the new A-10 wing replacement program to begin 
procurement of 112 sets of additional wings. This procurement 
would retrofit the remaining A-10 fleet giving the Air Force a 
total of 281 A-10 aircraft to 2030 and beyond.
    The committee continues to believe that sustainment of the 
281-aircraft A-10 fleet provides the Air Force a cost- and 
mission-effective close air support capacity and capability 
that will meet joint force requirements. The committee 
recognizes that A-10 fleet modernization requires future 
display system upgrades for better identification of friendly 
and enemy forces. Additional modernization also requires 
updates to weapon delivery and management systems, along with 
an upgraded electronic warfare suite, that will keep pace with 
advancements in threat surface-to-air technology and provide 
better protection for pilots. Finally, the committee encourages 
the Air Force to explore upgraded communications systems with 
improved interconnectivity and security to support data-
gathering enhancements for aircraft and engine structural 
integrity monitoring.
    The committee looks forward to receiving the test and 
evaluation report from the Director, Operational Test and 
Evaluation regarding the F-35A and A-10C test comparison 
required by section 134 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328). The committee 
recalls that the committee report accompanying the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (H. Rept. 115-
676) required the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a report 
to the House Committee on Armed Services on the cost of the 
additional 112 A-10 replacement wings using a second contract 
compared to the cost of exercising the option to procure the 
112 A-10 replacement wings on the original contract. The 
committee understands that this report will be made available 
after the new contract for A-10 wings is awarded later in 
fiscal year 2019. Finally, the committee encourages the 
Secretary of the Air Force to consider a multiyear contracting 
strategy for the next wing replacement program that could 
achieve significant cost savings for the A-10 wing replacement 
program.

Air National Guard F-16 Radar Upgrades

    The committee recognizes that F-16s will remain a critical 
component of the Air National Guard (ANG) inventory through the 
2040s making it essential to maintain the operational viability 
of these aircraft. The committee further recognizes that Active 
Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radar upgrades for the F-16 
make the aircraft more survivable and lethal in a combat 
environment when deployed, provides increased capability for 
homeland defense and aerospace control alert missions, as well 
as reduces maintenance and logistics challenges.
    The committee strongly supports continuing the F-16 AESA 
radar upgrades for both the Air Force and ANG, including the 
use of National Guard and Reserve Equipment Account funding 
referenced elsewhere in this Act. Furthermore, the committee 
directs the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, in coordination 
with the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, to provide a 
report to the House Armed Services Committee not later than 
February 1, 2020, that details an operational risk assessment, 
requirements determination, and acquisition and fielding 
strategy with associated funding profiles for upgrading the 
ANG's F-16s with AESA radars.

B-1 readiness recovery plan

    The committee notes that the nation's ability to meet its 
long-range precision strike requirements may be placed at 
increased risk by aging structural problems with the B-1 bomber 
aircraft. The committee is concerned B-1 readiness does not 
have the priority and resources to improve B-1 mission capable 
rates. This is evidenced by fully mission capable aircraft 
currently in single digits and aircrew being rerouted from 
flying the B-1 to other aircraft due to lack of B-1 aircraft 
for training.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than March 1, 2020, on the Air Force's 
current plans to increase the readiness of the B-1 that shall 
include the following elements:
    (1) aircraft structural issues;
    (2) plan for continued structural deficiency data analysis 
and testing;
    (3) projected repair timelines; and
    (4) future mitigation strategies.
    Additionally, this briefing shall include the following 
information during any B-1 degradation period:
    (1) pilot and maintainer training plan; and
    (2) recovery timeline to meet future deployment tasking.

B-2 Spirit Defensive Management System

    The committee continues to support the B-2 Defensive 
Management System Modernization (DMS-M) program and notes the 
importance of this program to ensuring that our nation's only 
operational stealth bomber remains mission effective. DMS-M is 
the largest upgrade in the B-2's history and is essential to 
maintaining the aircraft's survivability by ensuring the fleet 
remains effective against modern integrated air defense 
systems. This upgrade is critically needed to guarantee that 
the nation's premier strike platform can hold at risk the most 
heavily defended targets and deter aggression anywhere in the 
world.
    The committee is concerned, however, about the significant 
DMS-M schedule delays and many substantial challenges 
highlighted in a recent Defense Digital Service Discovery 
Sprint report. Unless the B-2 DMS-M program makes significant 
changes there may continue to be delays that will impact the 
success of the program. During testimony at a Seapower and 
Projection Forces subcommittee hearing on March 14, 2019, the 
Air Force confirmed its commitment to the DMS-M program, and 
the committee agrees that the program is necessary to ensure 
the B-2 can operate in all future environments.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by February 28, 2020, on its efforts to address the 
major areas of concern across the DMS-M program identified by 
the Defense Digital Service. Such brief shall include the 
associated schedule and closure plan to address the following 
items: sufficient government software development expertise; 
contract definitization schedule; delivery schedule; 
determination of software baseline; and assessment of related 
program support of DMS-M.

C-130H aircraft propellers and engines

    The committee notes that the C-130H aircraft that are flown 
primarily by the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve 
continue to provide critical tactical airlift capabilities and 
will continue to support this mission for years to come. The 
committee is disappointed with the amount of time it has taken 
for the Air Force to address a safety of flight issue with the 
legacy propeller system of the C-130H. The inherent danger 
associated with legacy propellers came to light in the mishap 
report from the KC-130T Hercules aircraft of the United States 
Marine Corps Reserve that crashed in Leflore County, 
Mississippi, killing 17 service members. The Air Force convened 
an additional review board which identified a potential hazard 
with propellers that were produced before 1971. This review 
appears arbitrary considering that the failed blade on the 
Marine Corps mishap C-130T was manufactured in 1983.
    Procurement of new composite propeller blades is the 
obvious solution to this serious safety of flight and readiness 
issue. The Air Force has moved slowly in addressing the issue 
and still refers to the propeller upgrade as a performance 
enhancement and not a safety requirement. A new composite blade 
would also decrease maintenance time and improve logistics 
support, which will result in increased readiness. Delays are 
unacceptable considering the inherent safety of flight and 
readiness risks surrounding this issue.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by October 31, 2019, on the long-awaited acquisition 
strategy for procuring new blades. This plan should include 
estimated costs, timelines, and a unit upgrade schedule, as 
well as a plan to expedite procurement for squadrons scheduled 
to deploy in CY2020. The briefing should also include the Air 
Force plan to incorporate C-130H T-56 Series 3.5 Engine 
Enhancement Packages. Congress has repeatedly added additional 
funds for these upgrades and the Air Force has yet to budget 
for them despite the demonstrated performance benefits and fuel 
efficiencies.

E-8 Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System re-engining program

    The budget request included $28.7 million for the E-8C 
Joint Surveillance Target and Attack Radar System (JSTARS) but 
no funding to address re-engining.
    The committee understands that recently-completed analyses 
of the E-8C JSTARS platform updated and extended the service 
life projection concluding that the JSTARS fleet can operate 
well into the 2030s and potentially beyond. As such, the 
committee supports the requested funding for E-8C JSTARS 
modernization and sustainment as necessary to ensure that the 
platform remains operational and capable for the remainder of 
its service life. However, the committee is concerned that the 
funding requested in the fiscal year 2020 Air Force budget 
fails to address the E-8C propulsion system, which the 
committee understands is the number one issue driving excessive 
non-mission capable maintenance metrics for the fleet. The 
committee is concerned that, without a substantive solution, 
issues associated with the propulsion system will continue to 
drive up costs and hinder availability.
    The committee recommends $56.7 million, an increase of 
$28.0 million, in Aircraft Procurement, Air Force, for JSTARS 
re-engining.

F-15C/F-15EX

    The budget request contained $1.1 billion for development 
and procurement of eight F-15EX aircraft.
    Air Force officials testified before the Subcommittee on 
Tactical Air and Land Forces on May 2, 2019, about their 
concerns with the current tactical aircraft inventory capacity 
and capability to fully execute and support the air superiority 
mission as required by the 2018 National Defense Strategy. The 
committee notes that the Air Force's capacity and capability 
concerns are based on the combination of having procured only 
187 F-22 aircraft compounded by the earlier than expected 
deterioration of the current fleet of F-15C aircraft, which the 
F-22 was intended to replace. The Air Force testified that two-
thirds of the F-15C fleet is past its certified service life 
and that 13 percent of the combat-coded aircraft are grounded 
due to failed aircraft structural integrity inspections. The 
committee understands that the Air Force considered a range of 
options to mitigate the identified capability and capacity gaps 
for the air superiority mission, to include extending the 
service life of the F-15C fleet and increasing the production 
rate of F-35A aircraft.
    The committee notes that analysis by the Department of 
Defense determined that a service life extension on the F-15C 
fleet would provide a limited return on investment for the 
amount of financial and other resources required to complete a 
successful life extension program to address the known 
structural integrity and mission systems issues or the cost and 
schedule risk associated with emergent fleet issues that are 
unknown but may be identified as each aircraft enters the 
service life inspection and extension program. The committee 
notes that the Navy realized unexpected and excessive cost and 
schedule growth during the service life extension program for 
the legacy fleet of F/A-18A/B/C/D aircraft.
    The committee understands that the Department's analysis 
evaluated increasing F-35A production quantities but determined 
that although the F-35A and F-15EX aircraft have similar 
procurement costs, the difference in operations and sustainment 
costs between the two aircraft is notable. Furthermore, the 
committee notes that the Department's analysis evaluated other 
aspects of current performance related to the F-35A program 
outlined by the committee elsewhere in this title and that the 
Department decided to forego this option due to affordability 
concerns.
    Therefore, the committee supports the Department's decision 
to procure the F-15EX aircraft to mitigate warfighter risk and 
to fill current and projected air superiority mission gaps. 
Additionally, the committee includes a provision elsewhere in 
this title that would require the Secretary of Defense to 
designate the F-15EX program as a major program within the F-15 
program element, and would require the Secretary to provide 
additional acquisition documentation to the congressional 
defense committees before proceeding apace with procurement of 
F-15EX aircraft.

MQ-9 Reaper funding profile

    The committee notes that the procurement profile for the 
MQ-9 Reaper unmanned aerial system includes inconsistent 
quantities from year to year. The committee understands that 
uneven, unpredictable procurement quantities create production 
inefficiencies and increase program costs. For example, the 
fiscal year 2020 budget request shows MQ-9 unit cost rising 
from $15.8 million in fiscal year 2019 to over $22.0 million in 
fiscal year 2020. The committee is concerned by these 
inefficiencies and encourages the Air Force to budget 
appropriately in the Future Years Defense Program for stable, 
predictable procurement quantities for the MQ-9 Reaper.

Tanker force structure and modernization

     The committee notes that the Department of Defense 
Mobility Capability Requirement Study identified a tanker force 
structure inventory requirement of 479 aircraft. Integral to 
this capability is the delivery of mission capable KC-46A 
aircraft and the continued development of additional tanker 
aircraft after the expiration of the current KC-46A contract 
with lot 13 in 2027. The committee notes that the Secretary of 
the Air Force has completed a capability-based assessment and 
signed out the initial capability document for the requirements 
associated with the next-generation tanker, but has not started 
an analysis of alternatives. The committee believes that the 
Secretary of the Air Force has several viable options to ensure 
future tanker capability, to include acquiring a non-
developmental commercial derivative tanker while ``bridging'' 
from the end of the KC-46A production to the new developmental 
tanker.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees by September 30, 2020, on a 30-year vision for the 
tanker force structure. The report shall include the following:
    (1) the current KC-46A tanker acquisition timeline through 
lot 13;
    (2) future tanker production options to include an 
acquisition timeline comparison of a ``bridging'' non-
developmental commercial derivative tanker and new tanker 
development; and
    (3) modernization options for the entire tanker force 
structure through the 30-year vision timeline.
    Additionally, the committee continues to support the fixed-
price development and production of the KC-46A contract. The 
committee believes that there have been several lessons learned 
with unique fixed-price type contracts that were employed in 
this contract. Therefore, in accordance with a recommendation 
included in the Government Accountability Office (GAO) report 
entitled ``KC-46 Tanker Modernization: Aircraft Delivery Has 
Begun, but Deficiencies Could Affect Operations and Will Take 
Time to Correct'' (GAO-19-480), the committee directs the 
Secretary of the Air Force to submit a report to the 
congressional defense committees by March 1, 2020, on the 
lessons learned regarding the utilization of a fixed-price 
contract for development.

                       Procurement, Defense-Wide


                       Items of Special Interest


F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program

    The budget request contained $10.3 billion for the 
procurement of 78 F-35 aircraft, and associated spares, 
modifications, depot activations, and advanced procurement for 
fiscal year 2021 aircraft for the Air Force, Navy, and Marine 
Corps. The budget request contained $1.6 billion for research 
and development related to the conclusion of system design and 
development, deployability and suitability initiatives, Block 4 
and Continuous Capability Development and Delivery (C2D2), and 
dual-capable aircraft efforts. The committee notes that the 
unfunded priority lists for the Air Force, Navy, and Marine 
Corps contained 12 F-35A, 2 F-35C, and 2 F-35B/2 F-35C 
aircraft, respectively.
    The committee supports the F-35 program and believes it is 
a necessary and essential capability within the tactical 
aircraft portfolio for the United States and its foreign 
partners and allies. The committee is concerned, however, that 
many substantial challenges are unresolved across the F-35 
system enterprise as was highlighted in two recent Government 
Accountability Office reports (GAO-19-321 and GAO-19-341) as 
well as during testimony at the May 2, 2019, Subcommittee on 
Tactical Air and Land Forces hearing on Air Force acquisition 
and modernization programs. It is clear that unless the F-35 
program can demonstrate measurable progress in reducing costs 
and inefficiencies associated with the production line, 
concurrency with new parts procurement and fielded parts 
repairs, global supply chain management and distribution 
activities, operations and sustainment costs, the Autonomic 
Logistics Information System, and Block 4 development and 
subsequent fielding utilizing the C2D2 construct, the 
Department of Defense and other F-35 partners and customers may 
not be able to achieve total inventory objective requirements. 
The committee is also concerned about the F-35 program's 
readiness to achieve a favorable full-rate production review 
scheduled at the end of 2019. The program may not be 
demonstrating satisfactory control of manufacturing processes 
and production line efficiencies, acceptable performance and 
reliability related to post-production activities and validated 
requirements, and adequate and effective sustainment and 
support systems in place to meet demands of all F-35 customers.
    Consequently, the committee includes three provisions 
elsewhere in this title that would authorize the F-35 program 
to procure economic quantities of production material to reduce 
costs; increase congressional oversight and program 
transparency related to costs for capability development and 
fielding; and ensure that the F-35 program has established 
suitable, measurable, and achievable performance metrics across 
various elements of the program.

Mitigation of military aviation physiological incidents

    The budget request for the Department of the Navy contained 
$278.0 million to address physiological episode (PE) mitigation 
and repairs for the Naval Aviation Enterprise, and the total 
funding included in the 2020 to 2024 Future Years Defense 
Program for the Department of the Navy is $788.4 million. The 
budget request for the Department of the Air Force contained 
$6.9 million in PE64706F for life support systems to address 
physiological episode mitigation for the Air Force aviation 
enterprise. The committee understands the Air Force plans to 
request reprogramming authority during fiscal year 2019 to 
realign $87.1 million for procurement of the Enhanced On-Board 
Oxygen Generation System for 445 T-6 training aircraft.
    The committee commends the ongoing efforts of the 
Department of the Navy to address modifications to F/A-18 
aircraft to mitigate PEs and notes that it has been designated 
as the number one safety priority to resolve within the Naval 
Aviation Enterprise. The committee notes these efforts include 
replacement of the F/A-18 cockpit altimeter; upgrade of the F/
A-18 On-Board Oxygen Generation System (OBOGS); redesign of the 
F/A-18 aircraft life support systems required to meet OBOGS 
input specifications; and installation of equipment associated 
with improved F/A-18 physiological monitoring and alert 
systems.
    The committee is aware that since approximately 2010, the 
Air Force has experienced increases in the rate of 
physiological episodes affecting aircrew in the F-22, F-15C, F-
35A, and T-6A aircraft. The committee notes the Air Force 
Physiological Episodes Action Team assessed that for more than 
a decade, the Air Force has underinvested in basic aerospace 
physiology science, research, and development. While the Air 
Force has made progress in some areas of human-machine-
environment interface during that time period, other areas were 
not as well studied, which left gaps in Air Force data 
resulting in limited understanding of aircrew life support 
requirements related to PE for aircrew flying high-performance 
tactical aircraft.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force, in consultation with the Secretary of the Navy, to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 1, 2020, that determines the availability and 
feasibility of procuring PE sensor devices in pilot helmets 
that warn of imminent incapacitation and can also collect and 
report data on human performance during flight.

    This section would limit the Secretary of Defense from 
reducing the aircraft carrier force structure below the level 
required by section 5062 of title 10, United States Code.
    The committee continues to believe that the nation's 
preeminent power projection capability is embodied with the 
aircraft carrier strike group. The ability to rapidly relocate 
a strategic asset and launch long-range, deep penetrating 
strike from a location that is not hampered by sovereign 
limitations represents the linchpin in our nation's national 
security. The committee concurs with the Navy's assessment that 
the aircraft carrier is more survivable today than at any point 
in the last 75 years.
    The committee continues to support an expansion of the 
aircraft carrier force structure to obtain the Navy's 
requirement of 12 aircraft carriers. The committee is 
supportive of the two-carrier procurement authorized in section 
121 of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) and is supportive of 
further efforts to reduce the span between aircraft carrier 
construction.
    Additionally, the budget request contained no funds for the 
Refueling and Complex Overhaul (RCOH) of the USS Harry S. 
Truman. The committee is encouraged that the administration 
reversed its recommendation to retire the USS Harry S. Truman 
before the planned RCOH and agrees with the overwhelming view 
within Congress that maintaining this strategic asset for 
another 25 years is crucial to national security. Therefore, 
the committee recommends $17.0 million to begin procurement of 
the long lead items associated with the USS Harry S. Truman 
RCOH.

technical deficiencies as compared to the CH-53K joint 
integrated program schedule. This section does not apply to any 
funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act for the 
development of the CH-53K.

 Section 117--Limitation on Availability of Funds for VH-92A Helicopter

    This section would limit the fiscal year 2020 available 
funding for the VH-92A helicopter to no more than 75 percent 
until the Secretary of the Navy provides the House Committee on 
Armed Services a report on the program's status. This report 
must include the estimated impact of relocating the aircraft 
manufacturing process on the manufacturing readiness level, 
cost, schedule, and sustainment of the program.

           Section 118--National Defense Reserve Fleet Vessel

    This section would direct the Secretary of the Navy to 
enter into a contract for one sealift vessel, subject to 
certain requirements.

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

           Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Army


                       Items of Special Interest


3-D Printed Electronics Army Innovation

    The committee understands additive manufacturing (AM) is 
making innovative technological improvements that could yield 
major advances in Army indirect fire weapons' range and lethal 
effects. This technology can combine existing and new materials 
into 3-D printed circuit architectures producing smarter, 
lighter, and denser projectiles to double current ranges and 
achieve higher precision. The flexibility inherent in AM allows 
for ready incorporation of new materials into complex 
structural designs that cannot be produced by any other method. 
As the technology matures, AM can also be used in other Army 
priorities such as technology for new and lighter smart armor 
and other purposes.
    The committee notes that the Army continues to invest in AM 
technology to rapidly design, prototype, and manufacture 
critical novel printed armaments components. The goal is to 
demonstrate the ability to print munitions completely on a 
single production line and assess this capability for potential 
implementation in an ammunition plant. This demonstration will 
also allow for an assessment of the potential to print 
replacement parts, customizable grenades, printed electronics 
and antennas. The committee supports the Army's investment in 
additive manufacturing technology and will continue to monitor 
its potential for industrial application as well as practical 
in-field use.

Accelerated integration to counter emerging threats

    The committee supports the accelerated integration 
capability to counter emerging threats being initiated by the 
Program Executive Office, Missiles and Space. The Army is 
developing a government-owned capability to provide cyber-
robust, networked new missile capabilities into the Army 
Integrated Air and Missile Defense systems designed to operate 
within rapidly evolving threat environments and timelines. The 
committee understands this is being accomplished through a 
unique approach to adapt and respond to real-time threats, 
dramatically accelerating the timeline to employ resilience in 
networked weapon systems. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of the Army to provide a briefing to the Committee on 
Armed Services of the House of Representatives by March 2, 
2020, on the status of progress being made through this 
accelerated program.

Advanced development of asset protection technologies

    The committee notes the Army's progress in developing 
advanced technologies for asset protection, such as Thermal 
Indicating Paints, Active Sensor Systems, Novel Power 
Solutions, Printed and Embedded Sensors for Army Weapons 
systems, Flexible Electronics, and others to support the 
warfighter. The committee directs the Secretary of the Army to 
provide a briefing to the committee not later than December 1, 
2019 on the Army's plans and programs, if any, to develop, 
demonstrate, manufacture and deploy advanced multi-functional 
materials and technologies that can be combined for 
customizable asset protection systems and increased weapon 
system capabilities.

Advanced lightweight small arms and medium caliber ammunitions

    The committee is encouraged by the Navy's progress on 
design, development and testing of advanced lightweight small 
arms and medium caliber ammunitions. The committee directs the 
Secretary of the Navy to report to the committee by December 1, 
2019 what efforts are underway to continue to explore and 
refine the use of advanced lightweight polymer cased ammunition 
technology to reduce the weight burden, enhance operational 
reliability, improve mobility and enhance survivability of the 
warfighter.

Advanced materials and components

    The budget request contained $35.1 million in PE 62144A for 
ground technology.
    The committee is aware that research conducted under this 
program is developing materials and manufacturing processes 
that combine multiple classes of materials for innovative and 
pioneering use cases. As a result, advanced hybrid materials 
and novel manufacturing methods, including high entropy alloys, 
are being developed for critical programs including the Army's 
Long Range Precision Fires and Next Generation Combat Vehicles 
modernization efforts.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $5.0 
million in PE 62144A for ground technology advanced materials 
and manufacturing research technology.

Advanced technology for cold regions

    Over several years, the Department of Defense has 
identified the need to operate in the Arctic and other cold 
region environments is critical to our national security and 
homeland security interests. To realize a successful National 
Defense Strategy, a number of engineering challenges must be 
solved to evolve the Department's ability to construct, 
maintain, and retrofit horizontal and vertical infrastructure 
in cold regions. Once developed, these novel approaches to 
designing, building, and maintaining rapid, cost effective, 
small-footprint infrastructure will enable U.S. forces to 
better defend the homeland and exercise sovereignty by rapidly 
projecting capabilities to remote cold regions when needed. 
Therefore, the committee supports innovative construction 
materials for cold regions by further developing and testing 
initial prototypes of mapping systems and construction 
materials under austere conditions, and developing, 
calibrating, and verifying performance prediction models.

Army unfunded requirement for munitions storage

    The committee recognizes the important work the Armaments 
Center, a science and technology reinvention laboratory at 
Picatinny Arsenal, plays in the ammunition life cycle to ensure 
our warfighters are appropriately equipped to complete their 
missions. The committee notes that the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Research and Engineering's February 2019 Report to 
Congress on Unfunded Requirements for Laboratory Military 
Construction Projects included for this center an unfunded 
laboratory minor science and technology military construction 
project for an Igloo Storage Installation. The committee 
directs the Secretary of the Army to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services not later than November 30, 
2019, on what the Army's plans are to ensure that the required 
construction and maintenance is implemented to support this 
mission.

Briefing on secure communications with remote-piloted and unmanned 
        ground vehicles

    The committee is aware that the Army is developing new 
ground combat vehicles that can be operated remotely or 
unmanned. At the same time, potential adversaries continue to 
develop capabilities that may compromise control of these 
remotely operated systems, as well as other components of the 
Army's communications networks.
    The committee notes the Army is researching technologies 
that will protect and harden communication networks in 
contested environments, but is concerned about the integration 
of these systems relative to the maturity of remotely-piloted 
vehicles like the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle and the 
Robotic Combat Vehicle.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by September 30, 2019, on the Army's efforts to develop 
technologies that will protect control of remotely-piloted or 
unmanned vehicles, as well as other communications 
technologies, while operating in contested environments.

Carbon fiber wheels and graphitic foam for Army vehicles

    The committee notes the evolution of the Army's testing and 
evaluation of Lightweight Metal Matrix Composite Technology as 
outlined in the report by the Assistant Secretary of the Army 
for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology submitted to the 
congressional defense committees in accordance with the 
committee report accompanying the John S. McCain National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (S. Rept. 115-
262). The Army's report makes clear that its interest with 
respect to new materials for lightweight wheels and associated 
brake systems has transitioned to a more viable dual-use carbon 
fiber and graphite byproduct suitable for brake pads and liners 
throughout the tactical wheeled vehicle fleet.
    The committee encourages the Army to continue to develop, 
prototype, and test affordable mesophase pitch carbon fiber and 
graphitic carbon foam components for the Next Generation Combat 
Vehicle and the tactical wheeled vehicle fleet to confirm their 
potential to reduce vehicle weight and improve fuel consumption 
and payload capacity over standard aluminum and steel designs. 
Accordingly, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of 
the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than November 29, 2019, on the progress of the Army's 
development and testing efforts related to mesophase pitch 
carbon fiber and graphitic carbon foam vehicle components.

Composite warhead technology

    The committee is aware of the Army's effort to facilitate 
rapid prototyping and demonstrations of composite ordinance 
packages consisting of composite warheads with multiple lethal 
effects payloads. The committee supports the Army's research 
and development efforts that study how composite and carbon-
fiber warhead technologies are applicable to new hypersonic 
strike missiles. The committee encourages the Army to continue 
to explore the durability and weight benefits that composite 
warhead technology provides, thereby extending the range of the 
Army's long range precision fires.

Defense Innovation and the Automotive Industry

    The committee commends universities and industry for their 
work in maturing technologies and producing materiel solutions 
to ensure our military maintains its technological edge. The 
commercial market driving the development of technologies is 
dynamic, and our military benefits greatly from the innovations 
that come from partnerships with small businesses and 
universities. As there are many lessons to be learned from 
independent research and the commercial market like the 
automotive industry, Science and Technology Reinvention 
Laboratories (STRLs) carry out a significant portion of basic 
and developmental research in collaboration with academia and 
the private sector. Government-funded research efforts to 
address military threats are critical to reducing technology 
development risk. If successful, they can attract private 
sector partners that lead to manufacturing and 
commercialization or production of defense systems. The 
committee encourages the Department to work with industry, and 
in particular the automotive industry, to establish public/
public and public/private (P4) Innovation Centers focused on 
the defense and automotive industries. The Innovation Centers 
could also serve as ``learning labs'' for Science, Technology, 
Engineering, and Math (STEM) based programs. The committee 
directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and 
Engineering and the Secretary of the Army, with support from 
the Director of the Defense Innovation Unit, by March 31, 2020 
to provide a briefing to the armed services committees on how 
the Department is working with the automotive industry to 
identify innovative technologies and learn lessons applicable 
to the development and production of defense systems. The 
briefing should include discussion of any plans to establish 
Innovation Centers as described above, including in or around 
the Detroit Arsenal or the Ground Vehicle Support Center in 
Warren, MI.

Expeditionary Maneuver Support Technologies

    The committee supports the development of Expeditionary 
Maneuver Support Technologies (EMST) for the next generation of 
command posts and supporting technologies, allowing combatant 
commanders to meet their increased operational requirements. 
This is necessary research for concealment, camouflage, 
deception, shielding, secure communications and other non-
logistics based technologies above the individual soldier 
level, in order to support large scale maneuver operations. The 
committee encourages the Department to continue the development 
of advanced intelligent materials will be used as the 
pathfinder component for production of these new EMST systems, 
provide a logistical cost savings to the Department of Defense, 
and enhanced protection for the units in the field.

Expeditionary mobile base camp technology

    The committee understands that the Army has a need for 
rapidly deployable expeditionary structures that offer 
protection from battlefield threats. The committee therefore 
recommends that the Department of Defense examine:
    (1) next-generation rapidly deployable shelter systems 
which utilize thermoplastics-based design concepts;
    (2) the feasibility of 3-D printing shelter components 
using small and large scale printing technologies and bio-
filled materials; and
    (3) applications for expeditionary smart materials 
including photovoltaics, smart textile materials, and 
thermoplastic multifilament and monofilament yarns.

Foamable celluloid material

    The committee is aware that the Army has made investments 
and achieved progress in developing modern ammunition material 
and manufacturing technologies that have the potential to 
improve ammunition performance and reduce life-cycle costs. 
Given this progress, the committee encourages the Army to 
rapidly transition technologies when ready from development to 
production for operational use availability. For example, the 
committee understands there could be substantial performance 
improvement and cost savings derived from advanced technologies 
such as foamable celluloid combustible propellant cases for 
tank, artillery, and mortar ammunition. The committee, 
therefore, encourages the Army to complete the development and 
qualification of this new capability in order to make a timely 
production and fielding decision. Further, the committee 
directs the Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, 
Logistics, and Technology to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than August 15, 2019, on 
plans for the continued development and potential for 
production and fielding of new ammunition technology, such as 
foamable celluloid combustible propellant cases, for tanks, 
artillery, and mortars.

Future Vertical Lift

    The budget request included $459.0 million in PE 63801A for 
Future Vertical Lift (FVL) platform research and development. 
Of this amount, $427.0 million was requested for development of 
the Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA), a new scout 
helicopter, while $30.2 million was requested for the Future 
Long-Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA), the planned replacement 
for the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter.
    Future Vertical Lift (FVL) is the Army's initiative to 
develop and field next-generation rotary wing aviation 
technologies and platforms through rapid prototyping and 
streamlined acquisition processes. The committee supports FVL's 
near-term goals and objectives of developing modern 
capabilities to replace the OH-58 Kiowa scout reconnaissance 
helicopter and the UH-60 Black Hawk utility helicopter.
    The committee understands the Army awarded five Other 
Transaction Authority contracts in April 2019 for FARA 
prototypes and intends to down-select to two competitors in 
March 2020. However, the Army failed to include funds to bridge 
the gap between the Joint Multi-Role Technology Demonstration 
(JMR-TD) for transformational vertical lift capabilities and 
the planned start of the Future Long-Range Assault Aircraft. 
Instead, the Army included $75.0 million in its unfunded 
priority list to accelerate FLRAA through an extension of the 
JMR-TD program. The committee believes additional details are 
required in order to make an informed evaluation of the Army's 
near and long term objectives for the Army aviation enterprise. 
The committee expects the aviation modernization strategy 
required elsewhere in this Act to help clarify these questions.

Heavy Equipment Transporter System trailer development

    The committee encourages the Army to continue development 
and procurement of a Heavy Equipment Transporter (HET) trailer 
solution for current and future combat vehicles. The committee 
notes that the Army's current trailer is rated for 70 tons, but 
modernized M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tanks will weigh in excess 
of 80 tons. Given the gross vehicle weight limitations on 
current trailer systems, the committee is concerned that these 
trailers cannot transport the most modern version of the Abrams 
tank. The committee believes the Army requires a new, more 
capable trailer and therefore encourages the Army immediately 
to begin to plan, program, and fund the accelerated 
modification of fielded HET trailers. The committee directs the 
Secretary of the Army to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by November 1, 2019, that details 
courses of action to accelerate needed modernization of current 
HET trailers.

HEROES program

    The budget request contained $115.2 million in PE 62143A 
for Soldier Lethality Technology.
    The committee is aware of the work being done by the U.S. 
Army's Combat Capabilities Development Command (CCDC) Soldier 
Center in improving the protection, survivability, mobility, 
and combat effectiveness of the Army. The committee is also 
aware that the Harnessing Emerging Research Opportunities to 
Empower Soldiers (HEROES) program is an ongoing joint research 
and development initiative involving both academia and industry 
that accelerates research and innovation through integration of 
intellectual assets and research facilities. The committee 
believes programs like HEROES provide benefit to research in 
areas of advanced ballistic polymers for body armor, fibers to 
make uniforms more fire resistant, and lightweight structures 
for advanced shelters that provide tangible benefits to the 
warfighter. To ensure the Army remains at the cutting edge of 
technology in these critical areas, the committee recommends an 
increase of $5.0 million in PE 62143A for the HEROES program.

High performance advanced polymers

    The committee is aware of Army work being done to improve 
the protection, survivability, mobility, and combat 
effectiveness of its vehicles, specifically in extreme 
temperatures. The committee is also aware of the efforts to 
develop advanced polymers for ground vehicles including the 
Stryker, Joint Light Tactical Vehicle, and the medium tactical 
vehicles. The committee believes additional research in 
advanced ballistic polymers that improves upon current resin 
systems to: maintain ballistic performance in hot and humid 
environments; keep fibers in uniforms more fire resistant; and 
create lightweight structures for advanced shelters all 
provides tangible benefits to the warfighter. Therefore, the 
committee encourages the Army to continue its support of such 
programs.

Humanitarian de-mining research and development

    The budget request contained $10.8 million in PE 63920D8Z 
for humanitarian de-mining research and development.
    The committee supports the humanitarian de-mining research 
and development program overseen by the Deputy Assistant 
Secretary for Stability and Humanitarian Affairs. This program 
develops and tests systems to detect and clear landmines, 
unexploded ordnance, and improvised explosives devices. The 
committee understands this research and development improves 
technology used by the military, informs military equipment 
procurement decisions, and supports stabilization and 
humanitarian projects funded by the Department of State while 
also fostering a collaborative relationship with host nation 
governments. The committee is aware of the value of this 
program.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $15.8 million, an 
increase of $5.0 million, in PE 63920D8Z for humanitarian de-
mining research and development.

Improved Turbine Engine Program

    The budget request included $206.4 million in PE 67139A for 
the Improved Turbine Engine Program (ITEP)
    The committee continues to support development of the 
Army's Improved Turbine Engine Program. ITEP was initiated as a 
competitive development and acquisition program to provide a 
more fuel efficient and powerful helicopter engine enhancing 
the performance and operational readiness of the Army's UH-60 
Black Hawk and AH-64 Apache fleets. The committee has supported 
significant Army investments into competitive technology 
development programs for turbine engines over the past decade 
and is encouraged by the significant progress the Army has made 
in maturing technologies that would lower ITEP programmatic 
risks. The committee also notes that ITEP will benefit the 
Army's future vertical lift development efforts, in particular, 
the Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA) program.
    The committee understands that the engineering and 
manufacturing development phase of ITEP is fully funded through 
fiscal year 2024 and that maintaining schedule to meet both the 
current and future platform integration timelines is crucial to 
the Army's aviation modernization enterprise. The committee 
expects the Army to maintain the current ITEP schedule as any 
delays will affect the planned delivery of new capability and 
Army aviation future readiness.
    The committee recommends $206.4 million, the full amount 
requested, in PE 67139A for ITEP.

Improvement of combat helmet suspension systems

    The budget request contained $118.5 million in PE 63118A 
for Soldier Lethality Advanced Technology, including $14.8 
million for body armor and integrated head borne advanced 
technology projects.
    The committee supports continued efforts to improve the 
performance of personal protective capabilities to increase 
warfighter performance and safety. The committee understands 
that recent technology development in helmet pad suspension 
systems, like microlattice technology, may result in next-
generation helmet suspension systems capable of absorbing 
impacts more effectively while maintaining user comfort and 
sustaining performance requirements.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $5.0 
million in PE 63118A for body armor and integrated head borne 
advanced technology projects to improve helmet suspension pad 
systems using microlattice technology.

Instrumentable Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System

    The committee is aware of the important role that the 
Instrumentable Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement System has 
in training Army and Marine Corps elements on force-on-force 
training at the National Training Center and other training 
centers worldwide. The committee is also aware of the 
criticality of this training to force readiness levels, 
particularly as the military services pivot towards peer 
adversaries. The committee supports the Army's efforts to 
develop innovative technologies, such as the Synthetic Training 
Environment program, and is interested in the Army's plan to 
continue to improve the Instrumentable Multiple Integrated 
Laser Engagement System through the relevancy program and serve 
as a bridge to future virtual training solutions. Therefore, 
the committee encourages the Army to continue to support the 
Instrumentable Multiple Integrated Laser Engagement Relevancy 
Program as a cost-effective and capable bridge to future 
virtual training solutions.

Modeling and Simulation for Ground Vehicle Development

    The committee notes that modeling and simulation (M&S) has 
demonstrated its utility as a tool for vehicle technology 
development by providing program managers with necessary 
information related to reliability and performance challenges 
in advance of making significant investment decisions for 
future development. The committee also notes that M&S is 
particularly relevant in the development of unmanned vehicle 
systems that could use artificial intelligence. As the Army 
continues to modernize its ground combat and tactical vehicle 
systems, the committee encourages maximization of M&S to 
realize potential savings in experimentation and prototyping, 
predict and control program costs and, where possible, 
accelerate the speed of development and fielding of new ground 
vehicle capabilities. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and 
Technology to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services no later than December 1, 2019 on how M&S is 
being incorporated into the development of next generation 
combat vehicles to include the Optionally-Manned Fighting 
Vehicle and Robotic Combat Vehicle programs, as well as 
identify any barriers and challenges that may exist regarding 
the full utilization of M&S for ground combat and tactical 
vehicle development.

Modern mobile sheltering systems

    The committee encourages the Department of the Army to 
explore the utilization of modern sheltering systems. 
Investment in rapidly deployable, hard-walled systems with 
integrated technologies and the use of modern and modular 
materials could advance the development of a modernized shelter 
that meets current and future operational requirements. 
Additionally, investment in new technologies for sheltering 
systems that are agile, durable, modular, customizable, and 
scalable could create new opportunities for shelter systems 
suitable not only for multi-domain combat operations, but also 
easily adaptable for use in disaster response and humanitarian 
relief operations.

Multi-mission Medium Range Railgun Weapon System and Integrated Power 
        and Thermal Management System

    The committee recognizes progress made by the Army to 
mature the multi-mission medium range railgun weapon system 
(MMRRWS) and the Integrated Power and Thermal Management System 
(IPTMS). The committee understands that MMRRWS, if successful, 
would support integrated air missile defense, mobile short-
range air defense, and indirect and direct fires applications. 
This capability would launch a guided projectile significantly 
farther and with more lethality than traditional systems, and 
will address critical gaps in U.S. air defense against growing 
threats from peer and near-peer competitors. The committee 
further understands IPTMS was developed specifically to support 
the Army's Maneuver-Short Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD) 
requirement. Adopting IPTMS could potentially accelerate 
development of a directed energy capable M-SHORAD capability as 
early as 2021. The committee encourages the Army to continue to 
leverage internal investments in developing MMRRWS and IPTMS in 
order to fully evaluate the potential of railgun technology on 
mobile platforms.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than February 1, 2020, on the current capability of 
MMRRWS and IPTMS, ongoing development and technology maturation 
of these systems, the results of any technology demonstrations 
of these capabilities, and the integration of MMRWS and IPTMS 
and their components with existing or planned M-SHORAD systems.

Multi-spectral thermal mitigation technologies

    The budget request contained $118.5 million in PE 63118A 
for soldier lethality advanced technologies.
    The committee is aware that the military services have 
established baseline standards for flame resistant uniforms 
that provide near-infrared thermal sensor protection for 
service members who are deployed in hostile areas. The 
committee understands that recent technical developments in 
sensor technologies and sensor mitigation are advancing at a 
pace well ahead of the current research, development, and 
procurement efforts. As a result, long-range detection and 
identification of our service members from hostile near-peer as 
well non-state actors is an emerging force protection threat. 
As such, the committee encourages the military services to 
explore multi-spectral sensor mitigation technologies, and to 
incorporate them into current and future uniform requirements 
and testing in use by the armed services.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army, 
in coordination with the Secretaries of the Navy and the Air 
Force, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by March 1, 2020, on the infra-red protection of 
current uniform standards against emerging sensor technologies, 
including an analysis of the feasibility, availability, and 
cost of material solutions that could mitigate these emerging 
thermal sensor technologies.
    Further, the committee recommends an increase of $5.0 
million in PE 63118A for soldier lethality advanced 
technologies.

National Academies review of technologies related to Army Strategic 
        Long-Range Cannon

    The committee notes that modernization of long-range 
precision fires is the Army's highest priority for meeting the 
requirements of the National Defense Strategy and the 
operational challenges associated with peer and near-peer 
potential adversaries. One of the technologies the Army is 
pursuing is a Strategic Long-Range Cannon capable of firing a 
projectile at hypersonic speed up to 1,000 miles. The committee 
is interested to learn more about this imaginative concept and 
the technical challenges associated with development of such a 
capability especially with respect to propellant, projectiles, 
and cannon. Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of 
the Army to enter into an arrangement with the Board on Army 
Research and Development of the National Academies of Sciences, 
Engineering, and Medicine to conduct a study that identifies 
and evaluates the technology approaches, policies, and concepts 
of operations of the Strategic Long-Range Cannon (SLRC) 
program. The study shall include:
    (1) an identification and evaluation of attributes of 
potential peer or near-peer adversaries operating environments 
and concepts that would enhance or reduce the effectiveness of 
SLRC;
    (2) an identification and evaluation of limitations and 
vulnerabilities of current ground-based capabilities for long-
range fires as well as existing and proposed countermeasures;
    (3) an identification and evaluation of key and essential 
technologies needed to achieve documented goals and 
capabilities of SLRC along with associated technologies 
required to support manufacturability and sustainability; and
    (4) provide a technology maturation roadmap, including an 
estimated funding profile over time, needed to achieve an 
effective operational SLRC that describes both the critical and 
associated supporting technologies, systems integration, 
prototyping and experimentation, and test and evaluation.
    The Secretary shall submit the study to the congressional 
defense committees not later than August 31, 2020. The study 
submitted shall be classified at levels appropriate to and 
sufficient for access to data necessary for a comprehensive 
review of the subject and related technologies but must include 
an unclassified summary of findings and recommendations. The 
Secretary may submit comments, if any, to accompany the study's 
classified or unclassified findings and recommendations.

Real time transmission of weapons usage data

    The committee recognizes the importance of the Next 
Generation Squad Weapon program and notes the potential of new 
technology involving smart weapons capable of real time 
transmission of weapons usage data. The committee directs the 
Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services no later than 
November 1, 2019 on the utility of real time transmission of 
squad level weapons usage data for training and combat 
operations, logistics, and maintenance, to include potential or 
existing technology.

Women in Army science, technology, engineering, and mathematics careers

    The committee is aware of the important role the Picatinny 
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) 
Education Office has in providing assistance to schools, 
support for students and leadership in developing activities to 
insure preparedness through education. As part of a continuing 
effort to encourage young women to pursue technical careers, in 
2019 Picatinny Arsenal hosted its sixth year of ``Introduce a 
Girl to Engineering,'' which attracted 100 students from 28 
schools. Women comprise only 16 percent of the scientists and 
engineering workforce of the Combat Capabilities Development 
Command. Therefore, the committee encourages the Army to 
continue efforts to promote STEM education at Army labs and 
urges the Secretary of the Army to further utilize the 
Manufacturing Engineering Education program to promote women in 
STEM Army careers with awards under the selection criteria 
provided by section 2196 (g)8 of title 10, United States Code.
    The committee encourages the Secretary to use the 
Department of Defense's Science, Mathematics, and Research for 
Transformation Program to further encourage women to enter the 
Army's science and engineering workforce.

           Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation, Navy


                       Items of Special Interest


Academic partnerships for undersea vehicle research

    The budget request contained $57.1 million in PE 62747N for 
undersea warfare applied research. The committee encourages the 
Department of the Navy to focus investments in research 
projects that are relevant to specific engineering and 
manufacturing needs, as well as defined systems capabilities. 
The committee also supports partnerships with industry and 
academia that are focused on well-defined short- and long-term 
submarine and autonomous undersea vehicle research needs, 
accelerated technology transition, and strong workforce 
development to develop a healthy industrial base with capacity 
needed to develop and build the Navy's next generation of 
advanced nuclear submarines and other undersea vehicles and 
systems. Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of 
$10.0 million in PE 62747N for innovative research and 
manufacturing partnerships between academia and industry.

Advanced Manufacturing of Critical Scale Materials

    To ensure the next generation of submarines incorporates 
the most cutting edge technologies, the Navy must advance the 
qualification and certification of Advanced Manufacturing (AM) 
processes, materials, and components to allow the Navy to 
integrate AM capabilities into current and future systems and 
platforms. The committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to 
report to the committee by December 1, 2019 on what efforts are 
underway to integrate AM. Further, as part of this report, the 
committee directs the Navy to include specific information 
about the testing and qualification of processes, materials, 
and components required to meet Columbia Class requirements and 
milestones.

Advanced precision materials research

    The committee is aware that research conducted under this 
program is developing critical components and combining 
multiple classes of materials for innovative and pioneering use 
cases, including the use of metal powders and substrates for 
military specifications. As a result, advanced hybrid materials 
and novel manufacturing methods, including wire-arc 
manufacturing and lightweight materials are being developed for 
critical programs including the Navy's Cross Platform System 
Development Program.

Advanced radar research

    The committee notes there have been major advances in the 
field of radar development with respect to phased array radar 
technology in a digital design. The development of this 
technology is a critical enabler for the Navy in the 
development of tools to increase target detection as well as 
improve electronic warfare and adaptive sensing capabilities. 
The committee directs the Chief of Naval Research to submit a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
April 30, 2020, on its support of partnerships with laboratory-
based antenna test facilities that help the Navy understand, 
characterize, and calibrate advanced all-digital radars that 
are under development.

Autonomous vehicle collaboration across maritime domains

    The budget request contained $119.5 million in PE 62123N 
for applied research into autonomous vehicle collaboration 
across maritime domains.
    The committee supports the Navy's investment in unmanned 
systems, such as autonomous underwater and surface vehicles. 
While autonomous systems are part of a strategy to maintain 
military technological advantage, there are lingering gaps in 
the performance of maritime autonomous vehicles intended to 
serve key Navy missions.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $10.0 
million in PE 62123N for applied research into autonomous 
vehicle collaboration across maritime domains, particularly for 
rapid prototyping and experimentation enabling coordination 
between unmanned underwater and surface vehicles.

Critical bandwidth gaps for Navy deployments

    The committee recognizes that the Department of Defense 
requires the capability to utilize in real time the massive 
amount of data compiled from technically advanced weapons 
systems. Current limitations in bandwidth and geographically 
challenging environments hinder the Department's ability to 
securely share in real time large volumes of data between 
warfighting units at the network's edge and command-and-control 
facilities. Nowhere is this problem more acute than for naval 
ships operating at sea. To address one specific gap, the Navy 
has established the Maritime Dynamic Over the Horizon Targeting 
System (MDOTS). MDOTS will utilize advanced commercially 
integrated technologies to generate a secure high-bandwidth 
network for a new over-the-horizon weapons system. The Navy has 
plans to test this system in 2019 and the committee is aware 
that other programs in the Department could also benefit from 
this capability.
    One other example of a critical gap is in operational 
support to the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. The F-35 generates 
massive amounts of data that must be shared in real-time with 
the pilot and command-and-control facilities to maximize 
effectiveness, intelligence, and readiness. The Navy's 
communications infrastructure currently lacks the high-
bandwidth capabilities to enable the sharing of this volume of 
data.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of 
the Navy for Research, Development, and Acquisition to explore 
the potential for using the MDOTS for a pilot project to 
establish a high-bandwidth networking capability to support 
Dynamic Over the Horizon Targeting at sea and on land. In 
addition, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary to 
review the Navy's existing networking capabilities, and 
identify critical gaps in support for deployments across the 
Navy and Marine Corps portfolio of programs. The committee 
further directs the Assistant Secretary to provide a briefing 
to the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2020, that 
identifies priority gaps to be addressed.

Defense University Research Initiatives

    The budget request contained $116.8 million in PE 601103N 
for University Research Initiatives.
    Through a competitive grant process managed by the Office 
of Naval Research, the Defense University Research 
Instrumentation Program (DURIP) funds the purchase and 
development of research equipment and infrastructure by 
academic institutions necessary for high-quality Navy relevant 
science. This instrumentation plays a vital role in allowing 
defense-critical research projects to acquire needed technical 
resources specifically engineered to meet their requirements 
and is critical in accelerating the development of operational 
capabilities for the warfighter. The technologies developed and 
acquired through the DURIP process ensure that the next 
generation of scientists and engineers are trained with 
cutting-edge capabilities for the military National Security 
Innovation Base workforce.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $5.0 
million in PE 601103N to support the Navy's cutting-edge DURIP 
research.

Energy resilience

    The budget request contained $119.5 million in PE 62123N 
for Force Protection Applied Research.
    The committee recognizes the need for additional research 
to assist the Navy in its efforts to create a more robust 
energy infrastructure. To achieve military energy resiliency, 
these challenges can be best met by leveraging experienced 
energy university researchers working in concert with industry 
partners and the Navy. Specific areas of interest include: 
addressing electrical power intermittency, integrating 
renewable energy sources into the grid, energy storage, 
improved micro-grids, grid security, local generation of zero-
carbon fuels, and the inspection and structural health 
monitoring of critical energy infrastructure.
    The committee recommends an increase of $5.0 million in PE 
62123N for energy resilience applied research.

Enterotoxigenic Escherichia Coli research

    Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) is one of the most 
prevalent pathogens responsible for diarrheal disease. Among 
U.S. warfighters deployed in the Middle East, ETEC has been the 
leading pathogen contributing to bacterial diarrhea. The Naval 
Medical Research Center (NMRC) Infectious Diseases Directorate 
(IDD) has established an Enteric Diseases Department to develop 
effective countermeasures to prevent or abate bacterial 
diarrhea. Infectious diarrhea historically has been a 
substantial cause of morbidity for deployed U.S. warfighters 
and continues to impact those currently serving overseas in the 
global war on terror. Similar pathogens also are responsible 
for travelers' diarrhea in civilian populations and endemic 
diarrheal diseases in young children in resource limited 
regions around the world. According to NMRC, acute infections 
often resolve on their own in 3 to 5 days but half of the 
service members infected report a decrease in job performance 
and 1-in-10 will go on to develop post-infectious irritable 
bowel syndrome. The Navy, Defense Advanced Research Projects 
Agency and academia have been working together to develop a 
platform for the delivery of immune molecules, mostly 
antibodies, which are safe and effective in rapidly 
establishing immune protection from ETEC diarrhea.
    The committee supports continued preclinical studies needed 
to facilitate an Investigational New Drug (IND) submission, to 
include:
    (1) process Development (formulation, stability) and 
Quality (assay development) studies;
    (2) manufacture of preclinical materials sufficient for all 
IND-enabling pharmacology, toxicology and efficacy tests;
    (3) IND-enabling safety studies including pharmacology and 
toxicology;
    (4) IND-enabling animal efficacy studies to determine 
optimum dose and robustness of response; and
    (5) development of protocols in preparation of First-in-
Human studies.

Hearing loss and prevention treatment

    The budget request contained $63.8 million in PE 62236N for 
Warfighter Sustainment Applied Research, which includes funding 
to address noise induced hearing loss. The committee recognizes 
members of the Armed Forces often experience hearing loss at 
higher rates and that tinnitus is one of the most prominent 
disabilities amongst veterans. Therefore, the committee 
recommends $63.8 million, the amount requested, in PE 62236N 
for Warfighter Sustainment Applied Research and urges the 
Department of the Navy to develop hearing loss drug therapies 
and related clinical applications.

High Energy Laser system integration

    The committee is encouraged by the Navy's rapid 
demonstration of Laser Weapon Systems (LaWSs) on surface ships. 
In a short period of time, the Navy has deployed the 30 
kilowatts (kW) LaWS on the USS Ponce (Afloat Forward Staging 
Base (Interim)-15) followed by the 150 kW Laser Weapon System 
Demonstrator (LWSD) on the USS Portland (Landing Platform/Dock-
27) in 2019. The improvements in power and beam quality make 
this a near 100 fold improvement in lethality. The committee is 
also encouraged by the 60 kW HELIOS program for integration on 
Destroyer Designated Guided ships by 2020. However, there 
appears to be more opportunity to integrate High Energy Laser 
(HEL) systems on large capital ships including aircraft 
carrier, fixed wing, nuclear powered (CVNs) and large 
amphibious ships to increase defensive capability and lethality 
of our expeditionary forces as evidenced by the deployment of 
LWSD on the USS Portland. The committee directs the Secretary 
of the Navy to submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees not later than April 1, 2020, describing a path 
forward for integration of HEL Systems 150-300 kW on large 
capital warships, including CVNs and large amphibious ships.

Navigation channel clearance for nuclear powered ballistic missile 
        submarines

    The committee recognizes that 70 percent of the United 
States nuclear deterrent is committed to ballistic missile 
submarines (SSBNs) concentrated at just two Navy bases in 
Bangor, Washington, and Kings Bay, Georgia. Each time an SSBN 
departs or returns to its respective home port, it must travel 
through shallow, restricted waterways that are open to 
commercial and private traffic. The committee is aware that 
U.S. Strategic Command has a requirement to survey these 
waterways in order to monitor for threats and obstructions 
which could damage transiting submarines and is interested in 
steps being taken by the Navy to meet this requirement to 
protect critical strategic assets.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy 
to submit a report to the congressional defense committees by 
October 1, 2019, on measures instituted to ensure the safety 
and security of ballistic missile nuclear submarines operating 
in the approaches to Navy bases in Bangor, Washington, and 
Kings Bay, Georgia. The report should include:
    (1) security measures mandated by the Department of Defense 
related to the operation of ballistic missile submarines 
entering and leaving the ports of Bangor, Washington, and Kings 
Bay, Georgia;
    (2) current operational posture and capabilities employed 
to meet the mandated security requirements and any requirements 
not currently met; and
    (3) specific measures to ensure the navigation channels for 
these ports are free of obstructions and other threats to 
transiting ballistic missile submarines.

Office of Naval Research Manufacturing Technology Program

    The budget request contained $60.1 million in PE 63680N for 
the Navy's Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) program.
    The Office of Naval Research's (ONR) ManTech program 
supports the productivity and responsiveness of the U.S. 
Defense Industrial Base by funding development, optimization, 
and transition of enabling manufacturing technologies to key 
naval suppliers. Submarine and undersea vehicle industries are 
a key part of this industrial base. The contribution of 
subsurface vehicles to continued undersea dominance are 
measured in decades of service life and are based on the 
creation and implementation of near- and long-term 
technological advances. However, global access to technology, 
accelerated rate of technology development, and implementation 
and budget constraints threaten to undermine our dominance in 
this crucial area.
    ManTech fosters partnerships between academia, industry, 
and government research and development communities in support 
of undersea vehicles and technologies, with the goal of 
creating and rapidly transitioning innovative technologies and 
specially trained personnel to enable continued U.S. dominance 
in undersea warfare and weapon systems.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $20.0 
million in PE 63680N for ONR's ManTech program to enhance joint 
private and academic partnerships and performance and reduce 
costs of the shipbuilding process while ensuring that advanced 
technologies are incorporated into the next-generation of 
undersea vehicles.

Warfighter safety and performance

    The budget request contained $63.8 million in PE 62236N for 
Warfighting Sustainment Applied Research.
    The committee is aware that this program funds critical 
technology efforts to improve warfighter safety and enhance 
individual performance under adverse conditions. The program 
also funds ongoing research efforts to prevent occupational 
injury in hazardous, deployed environments, including studies 
on decompression sickness, oxygen toxicity, optimization of 
diver performance, and assessment of the impact of thermal 
stress on operational performance. The committee encourages the 
Navy to continue studies and research into new technologies 
that improve care for sailors in extreme environments and 
mitigate the effects of undersea stresses on human safety, 
performance, and resilience.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $68.8 million, an 
increase of $5.0 million, in PE 62236N for warfighter safety 
and performance.

Advanced composites for large structures

    The committee is aware of the current constraints on large-
scale space and hypersonic vehicle fabrication, material 
process equipment, and composites. The committee is also aware 
of the demand for new epoxy resins and composite materials that 
can expand the process envelope for aerospace composite 
structures and operate in extreme temperatures, including space 
environments. Developing advanced, on-demand composite fabrics 
can reduce material waste, shorten production lead times, and 
provide additional manufacturing flexibility for large vehicle 
sections. The committee believes additional research is needed 
on epoxy and composite fabric formulas and equipment to 
understand the material properties and effects to meet space 
and hypersonic vehicle system requirements.

Aerospace Career Training Expansion Report

    The committee recognizes the important role depots provide 
in achieving the Air Force's mission to fly, fight and win in 
air, space and cyberspace, and believes in the value of 
ensuring that the depot feeder communities have strong science, 
technology, engineering, and math (STEM) educational and 
workforce development opportunities. Critical investments in 
workforce are necessary to be better prepared to meet the 
future needs of the aerospace and defense industry sector. 
Diverse aerospace training programs and stackable credentials 
can also provide a clear sequenced pathway to ensure success 
and goal-oriented outcomes.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Research and Engineering and the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, with support from the 
Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, 
Technology and Logistics, to provide a report to the 
congressional defense committees not later than February 28, 
2020 on the Department's innovation, acquisition, and STEM 
programs that could be extended to the communities supporting 
Air Force depots. The report should include, but not be limited 
to, programs such as: Hacking4Defense within the National 
Security Innovation Network; the program on enhancement of 
preparation of dependents of members of armed forces for 
careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics as 
laid out in Chapter 111 of title 10 United States Code; small 
business programs such as Small Business Innovation Research 
(SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) as defined 
under section 9 of the Small Business Act (15 U.S.C. 638); 
university research programs; public/public and public/private 
programs under the authority of the Air Force Research 
Laboratory; and Defense Acquisition University virtual or 
regional campuses.

Aerospace Composites Manufacturing

    The budget request contained $43.1 million in PE 63680F for 
the Manufacturing Technology Program, including funds to 
initiate the program on Transforming Aerospace Composites 
Manufacturing.
    Transforming Aerospace Composites Manufacturing enables key 
cost reductions, low cost tooling, and agile rapid response 
requirements identified as a critical need for new unmanned 
aerial systems and other future vehicles without sacrificing 
high performance requirements. The committee believes this 
investment is critical for maintaining the United States' 
technological edge by allowing for rapid innovation and reduced 
lead time as well as reduced procurement cost of these high 
performance systems.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $53.1 million, an 
increase of $10.0 million, in PE 63680F for cost reduction for 
aerospace composite structures.

Briefing on Surface to Air Electronic Warfare Threats

    The committee recognizes that advanced enemy threat systems 
continue to evolve and modernize and as a result could be 
immune to current U.S. defensive systems, including Air Force 
electronic warfare (EW) jamming systems. The committee further 
recognizes that existing radar guided surface-to-air systems 
can detect and identify legacy jamming signals, which could 
significantly increase U.S. military aircraft vulnerabilities 
for deployed military air crews. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of the Air Force to conduct an 
advisability and feasibility analysis of developing open 
standards compliant advanced threat system exploitation 
techniques that could rapidly defeat advanced threat systems 
within an open system framework. The committee believes this 
technology could provide increased protection to U.S. military 
aircraft, resulting in increased mission effectiveness and air 
crew survivability. The committee further directs the Secretary 
of the Air Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee 
on Armed Services by February 1, 2020 on the results of this 
analysis, as well as update the committee on current actions 
being taken to improve current EW jamming systems.

Digital twinning

    The committee notes that ``digital twin'' technology has 
the ability to combine numerous technologies within a weapon 
system, such as the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, to create a 
full-scale digital replica of the original weapon system. This 
digital replica could assist the Department of Defense in 
conducting predictive analyses to determine and more fully 
comprehend performance, reliability, and maintenance 
requirements before issues impact a weapon system's performance 
during development and manufacturing, or after the system is 
fielded.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than March 1, 2020, that explains how the F-35 
program is implementing the use of digital twinning technology 
across the F-35 system enterprise.

Distributed Common Ground System and 10 U.S.C. 2377

    The committee notes the significant progress that the Army 
has made in deploying the distributed common ground system of 
the Army. The transition to ``Capability Drops''' and the 
increased use of readily available technology integration have 
improved program outcomes and accelerated deployment timelines.
    The committee encourages the other military services and 
agencies of the Department of Defense to review the Army's 
approach to determine whether that approach would improve 
outcomes for their own distributed common ground system 
programs. In particular, the committee urges program managers 
for the other distributed common ground system programs to 
learn more about the Army's approach to the requirements of 10 
U.S.C. 2377 and directs the Secretary of the Air Force to brief 
the committee on the acquisition strategy for the distributed 
common ground system of the Air Force, with particular 
attention to the process used to determine whether commercial 
technologies can meet requirements pursuant to 10 U.S.C. 2377, 
not later than September 30, 2019.

Educational partnership agreements for aerospace propulsion

    The budget request contained $198.8 million in PE 62203F 
for aerospace propulsion research and development.
    The committee recognizes that confronting emerging threats 
to vital U.S. assets in space is critical to the national 
security of the United States. The committee further 
understands the U.S. Air Force is pursuing advanced science and 
technology research to maintain secure operations to and in 
space and that effort will require additional rocket and space 
focused engineers over the next decade.
    The committee commends the Air Force for its ongoing effort 
to accelerate its strategic capabilities in space operations 
through next generation access to space and maneuverability 
through the use of Educational Partnership Agreements (EPAs) 
(10 U.S.C. 2194). The committee supports the use of EPAs, which 
are a vital resource that provides authorized funding directed 
to academic institutions to stimulate growth in science, 
technology, engineering and mathematics education. EPAs play a 
critical role in encouraging and enhancing study in scientific 
disciplines at all levels of education and in generating future 
generations of scientists and engineers within the United 
States.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $10.0 
million in PE 62203F to accelerate Educational Partnership 
Agreements that advance the mission of the Air Force Research 
Laboratory to pioneer transformative aerospace technologies and 
accelerate its long-term strategic objectives in key areas such 
as energy security, energy optimization, reusability, 
maneuverability, and multi-mission mobility.

Kessel Run Commercial Outreach

    The committee notes the Air Force's continued use of agile 
development methods in the Kessel Run program. The committee 
encourages continued commercial outreach and commercial market 
research by the Kessel Run program in order to ensure that 
innovative commercial solutions are available to meet Air Force 
needs, while focusing on national security-unique challenges 
with in-house development teams.
    The committee directs the Air Force to provide a briefing 
on Kessel Run plans not later than September 1, 2019. Such a 
briefing should include:
    (1) an update on current priorities for Kessel Run;
    (2) measures to ensure compliance with section 2377 of 
title 10, United States code, section 855 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Pub. L. 114-92, 
129 Stat. 919), and other attempts to ensure the use of 
innovative commercial technologies;
    (3) plans to transition Kessel Run technologies into 
established programs of record.

Light attack and armed reconnaissance experimentation

    The budget request contained $35.0 million in PE27100F for 
continuation of Light-Attack Armed Reconnaissance (LAAR) 
experimentation.
    The committee notes that the Air Force plans to apply 
$100.0 million in fiscal year 2018 appropriated funding, and 
plans to request reprogramming authority to realign $25.0 
million in fiscal year 2019 appropriated funding, to purchase 
six test article LAAR platforms (three AT-6 and three A-29 
aircraft) to continue Phase 3 experimentation activities.
    The committee notes that the Air Force is not ready to make 
a decision on a potential procurement for LAAR without 
completing additional analyses on all potential solutions in 
order to find a solution that fits tactical, operational, and 
strategic requirements for a wide variety of allies and 
partners. The Air Force determined after the conclusion of 
Phase 2 experimentation that the results gained thus far have 
not provided enough information, nor has the LAAR experiment 
strategy explored other platforms that could fill lesser 
contingency and international partner mission requirements. The 
committee further notes that the Air Force believes continued 
experimentation during Phase 3 will allow for additional 
consideration of current and emerging unmanned, rotorcraft, and 
turbojet technologies to assess cost-effectiveness and 
capability sufficiency to ensure that a future LAAR platform or 
platforms will maximize meeting a diverse set of mission 
requirements and capability gaps.
     The committee appreciates the deliberate and methodical 
approach the Secretary of the Air Force is taking through 
experimentation and data analysis to fully inform a future 
procurement decision for LAAR capabilities and this new mission 
area. However, prior to entering Phase 3 experimentation 
activities, the committee expects the Secretary to establish 
and document the Phase 3 experimentation strategy, design, 
goals, objectives, and metrics. The committee also expects the 
Secretary to consult with the Commander, Special Operations 
Command to assess how both general purpose forces and special 
operations forces can leverage experimentation activities. The 
committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than September 1, 2019, on the scope and plans for Phase 3 
experimentation.

Low-cost attritable aircraft technology

    The committee supports the intent of the Assistant 
Secretary of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology, and 
Logistics to accelerate the Air Force Research Laboratory's 
Low-Cost Attritable Aircraft Technology (LCAAT) program for 
collaborative pairing with manned platforms, potentially 
including the 35. The committee views the combined application 
of commercial technology, autonomy, and artificial intelligence 
as imperative for solving current military challenges. Teams of 
low-cost collaborative systems provide new mechanisms to ensure 
survivability and mission success without leveraging exquisite 
technology and the associated high cost and long development 
timelines.
    Integration and technology demonstrations reduce the risk 
and time required to transition technologies into operational 
systems. Accordingly, further prototyping and technology 
enhancements are necessary to transition the LCAAT demonstrator 
aircraft system into a fully operational capability. Continued 
testing and the development and integration of technology is 
required to provide a runway takeoff capability; airborne 
weapons deployment capability (in support of manned platforms); 
human machine interface enhancements; development and 
integration of a secure Common Data Link-based network system; 
and development of operation and maintenance systems, 
processes, and tests to operationalize the evolving Manned-
Unmanned Teaming capability.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary 
of the Air Force for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to 
submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than April 1, 2020, on the Air Force's efforts for the 
design, test, and integration of these air vehicles.

Major test range and facility enhancements

    The budget request contained $717.9 million in PE 65807F 
for Department of the Air Force test and evaluation support. 
The committee notes that this amount is $25.1 million, or 
approximately 3 percent, higher than the budget for fiscal year 
2019.
    In the committee report accompanying the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (H. Rept. 115-200), the 
committee reported on a briefing it received on a comprehensive 
assessment of Major Range and Test Facility Base needs and 
investments to meet the testing required for advanced 
generation aircraft and air armaments, including offensive 
hypersonic weapons, autonomous systems, and advanced sub-
surface systems. The committee noted that among its findings 
were that advanced generation aircraft and weapons introduce 
test and evaluation profile and data gathering gaps, and that 
greater research and development, operations and support 
investments are required to fill those gaps. The committee is 
further concerned that with a growing volume of test and 
training requirements, more instrumentation throughout test 
ranges, especially open-water test ranges, that support testing 
activities is required for efficient use of air, surface, and 
subsurface test areas to reduce the competition for range space 
between operational readiness priorities and fielding new 
system capabilities. The committee assesses that technologies 
such as Telemetry Extension Satellite Communications Relay 
projects could assist range safety, testing and evaluation 
personnel executing over water missions supporting test events 
of long-range weapons, aircraft, and sea-surface platforms. The 
committee notes these technologies focus on prototype 
integration and modification of wave gliders by using an array 
of sensors, antennas, receivers, and transmitters to gather and 
transmit secure data. The committee is further concerned that 
the potential development of open-water energy projects has the 
potential to encroach and negatively impact military test and 
training operations, and expects the Secretary of the Air Force 
to thoroughly evaluate impacts of such projects on Air Force 
test missions.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $743.4 million, an 
increase of $25.5 million, in PE 65807F for Air Force test and 
evaluation support to enhance open-air range test capabilities 
in the development of next-generation platforms and air 
armaments and to mitigate growing open-water test range 
challenges and risks.

Metals Affordability Initiative

    The budget requested contained $36.6 million in PE 63112F 
for Advanced Materials for Weapons System.
    The committee recognizes the importance of this program in 
providing affordable materials and manufacturing technologies 
across the entire life-cycle of aerospace materials. 
Specifically, the Air Force Research Lab-managed Metals 
Affordability Initiative has reduced metallic aircraft 
component costs and accelerated the implementation and transfer 
of technologies across a wide range of aircraft platforms. The 
committee notes the value of this public-private partnership 
and the risk sharing model that has directly led to a nearly 
$2.4 billion return on the U.S. Government's investment. The 
committee recommends the Secretary of the Air Force create a 
dedicated funding line for the Metals Affordability Initiative 
to show the Air Force's clear commitment to this program.
    The committee recommends $41.6 million, an increase of $5.0 
million, in PE 63112F for Advanced Materials for Weapons 
System.

Modular Open Systems Architecture Intelligence Sensor Readiness 
        Initiative

    The committee is pleased by the recent memorandum from the 
Secretaries of the military departments supporting a move to 
Modular Open Systems Architectures (MOSA). Many of today's Air 
Force Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, 
Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (C4ISR) gathering systems are 
built by single vendors who have a lock on future enhancements 
and capability drops. Obsolescence and vendor-lock lower the 
Air Force's capability and increase its operation and 
maintenance costs. Platform agnostic MOSA standards have the 
ability to enable airborne C4ISR systems to be fielded at a 
quicker pace while lowering logistics and procurement costs. 
The committee believes that the Department should endeavor to 
move away from stove piped systems and reduce dependence on 
single vendors and that MOSA would enable the Air Force to swap 
out capabilities and take advantage quickly of new innovations. 
The committee encourages the Air Force to establish a 3- to 5-
year technical refresh cycle, versus the current 10-plus year 
cycles, and work to reduce its logistical overhead by taking 
advantage of common hardware and software, reduced maintenance, 
enhancement, and upgrade costs.

OC-135B Open Skies Treaty aircraft recapitalization

    The committee notes that the current fleet of OC-135B 
aircraft conducting the Open Skies Treaty flights are over 55 
years old and experience significant sustainment and 
reliability issues, resulting in an average mission completion 
rate of 65 percent between 2007 and 2017. Further, the range of 
the legacy OC-135 aircraft is insufficient to fully execute 
mission options within the treaty's 96-hour in-country 
observation period. In addition to maintenance and range 
limitations, the current wet-film imaging used to collect data 
will become obsolete sometime around 2022. To avoid any gap in 
Open Skies Treaty collection capability, the committee supports 
the Air Force's plan to upgrade the fleet with digital visual 
imaging systems (DVIS) for the near-term, and ultimately 
replace the OC-135 Open Skies aircraft with two commercially-
available small airliner class aircraft with integrated DVIS 
sensors.
    The committee supports recapitalization of the OC-135 but 
remains concerned about the Air Force's ability to stay on 
schedule and meet the fiscal year 2022 aircraft certification 
and treaty compliance date. Unanticipated technical challenges 
with the DVIS sensors have already affected the schedule and 
could cause additional delays if not remedied soon.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by October 1, 2019, on the Open Skies Treaty aircraft 
recapitalization. The report shall include:
    (1) an assessment of the DVIS data technical package 
maturity and the cost and feasibility of integrating it onto 
the replacement commercial aircraft;
    (2) the plan for and status of developing or acquiring 
associated ground processing systems;
    (3) the plan for management of programmatic risk and an 
assessment of the ability to meet the fiscal year 2022 deadline 
for an upgraded, treaty-compliant system;
    (4) existing or planned mitigation options should the Air 
Force not be able to achieve current DVIS and treaty compliance 
milestones, and should there be any future delay to the upgrade 
or replacement of the OC-135; and
    (5) a copy of any assessment conducted by an independent 
organization employed by the program for technical assistance.

Open mission systems

    The committee supports the Department of Defense and each 
of the military services in their commitment to open-systems 
standards and the inclusion of those standards to the maximum 
extent possible in requirements, programming, and development 
activities for future weapon system modifications and new start 
development programs as agreed to in the January 2019 
memorandum of understanding.
    However, the committee notes that the military services are 
independently pursuing open-standards that are unique to each 
service, as the Air Force has focused efforts on the Open 
Mission Systems/Universal Command and Control Interface 
standard, the Army has focused on the VICTORY standard, and the 
Navy has focused on the Future Airborne Capability Environment 
standard. The committee further notes the open-standards as 
currently defined may not be interoperable and do not 
explicitly include requirements to ensure interoperability 
across services, thereby coupling warfighting capability to a 
specific standard and a specific service.
    To accelerate and simplify the incremental delivery of new 
capabilities into systems across all military services, the 
committee recommends that the Department consider a cross-
service interoperability requirement in future releases of 
their open standards and create a plan for identifying and 
managing compatibility across releases of the standards. The 
committee further recommends that the Department identify 
current and future programs that would benefit from cross-
service interoperability, such as the Air Force's Common Range 
Integrated Instrumentation System and the Navy's Tactical 
Combat Training System Increment II, and utilize these programs 
for experimentation, demonstration, and deployment of cross-
service interoperable open standards.

Persistent intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance

    The committee remains concerned about the worldwide 
shortage of available intelligence, surveillance, and 
reconnaissance (ISR) assets to support combatant commander 
requirements. While the committee is encouraged by the 
Department of Defense's renewed prioritization in acquiring and 
fielding ISR assets, the committee also notes that the 
Department and each of the military services are developing and 
fielding programs to provide joint persistent ISR to the 
warfighter. The committee understands that one of the pathways 
identified in the Air Force's recently released Intelligence, 
Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Flight Plan is the use of 
multi-role and cross-domain ISR collection capability to 
increase readiness and lethality. The committee notes that 
these include high altitude assets and penetrating, persistent, 
multi-role capabilities. Therefore, the committee encourages 
the continued prioritization and funding for research and 
development of advanced ISR assets to include high-altitude, 
multi-day capable unmanned platforms, to fill existing 
persistent ISR capability gaps.

Thermal management and robust power generation systems

    The budget request contained $198.8 million in PE 62203F, 
and $128.9 million in 62102F for the development and 
demonstration of electrical power, thermal management, and 
distribution for aerospace applications and materials.
    The committee recognizes the Air Force is highly focused on 
developing next generation weapon systems, both for aircraft 
self-protection and to provide offensive capability for future 
aircraft. In order to meet these goals, the Air Force will need 
a power generation system that can meet these new power demands 
in addition to other electrical and avionic subsystems power 
requirements and will also need an efficient modular cooling 
system capable of handling increased thermal loads, 
specifically for hypersonic vehicles. The committee encourages 
the Air Force to focus developmental work on the aerospace 
electrical power and modular cooling technologies required for 
future aircraft concepts and cost-effective upgrades to current 
aircraft.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $5.0 
million in PE 62203F to accelerate design, fabrication, and 
testing to support robust electrical power and thermal 
management systems for future aircraft needs, and an increase 
of $10.0 million in PE 62102F for advanced thermal protections 
systems.

Unmanned aerial systems cyber operations research

    The committee recognizes the critical importance of 
developing new technologies to detect and counter adversarial 
unmanned aerial systems (UAS) and UAS swarms. The committee 
notes that countering UAS operations presents a special series 
of unmet communications, command and control, cyber, 
computation, and intelligence challenges at the tactical edge. 
Due to this emerging threat, the committee directs the Director 
of the Air Force Research Laboratory Information Directorate to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
October 30, 2019, on their continued research and development 
into the countering of unmanned aerial systems using advanced 
technologies to facilitate UAS detection and geolocation, 
determination of individual and swarm behavior, dissection of 
swarms to identify critical nodes, situational awareness, 
elucidation of threats and mission intent, and counter UAS 
capabilities.

Vertical lift demonstration

    The budget request contained $102.9 million in PE 63211F 
for aerospace technology development.
    The committee is aware of the Air Force's requirement for 
advanced technologies that provide the capability to operate 
from forward bases in highly contest environments with 
unimproved landing zones and limited maintenance facilities. A 
new class of runway independent aircraft could greatly enhance 
speed, range, and agility to support operations within these 
highly contested areas. The committee encourages the Air Force 
to continue research, development, and demonstration of next 
generation aircraft that are scalable, autonomous, and capable 
of vertical lift flight with high speed cruise performance.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $5.0 
million in PE 63211F for aerospace technology vertical lift 
demonstrations.

Wide area motion imagery

    The committee notes that the Gorgon Stare wide area 
surveillance capability continues to support daily operations 
in both Afghanistan and Iraq with critical intelligence, 
surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR), and that other 
combatant commands have requested the Gorgon Stare capability. 
The committee is concerned that, despite daily operational 
tasking and despite the Air Force's designation of Gorgon Stare 
as a program of record in 2014, there is still no formal budget 
request for this combat-proven ISR system. The committee notes 
that prior year congressional funding has resulted in the 
system developing beyond line-of-sight communications and 
multi-intelligence capabilities.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Chairman of the 
Joint Chiefs of Staff to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by November 1, 2019, on the plan 
for apportionment of Gorgon Stare into the Department's ISR 
forces and the full extent of combatant command requirements 
for Gorgon Stare ISR wide-area support to worldwide operations.

Additive manufacturing

    Defense-wide Manufacturing Science and Technology (DMS&T) 
is the joint, defense-wide component of the Department of 
Defense's Manufacturing Technology (ManTech) program directed 
by section 2521 of title 10, United States Code. Investments in 
ManTech provide for a healthy industrial base necessary for 
national security. The committee is aware that eight Department 
Manufacturing Innovative Institutes are funded under DMS&T, 
including an institute focused on additive manufacturing. The 
committee believes that additive manufacturing supports 
improved life-cycle maintenance and readiness, especially when 
capabilities are provided in-theater. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and 
Engineering to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than October 1, 2019, on the DMS&T 
program investments in additive manufacturing and the value and 
efficiencies such investments may have, especially when 
capabilities are provided in-theater.

Advanced composites and manufacturing technologies

    The budget request contained $10.1 million in PE 67210D8Z 
for industrial base analysis and sustainment.
    The committee believes that advances in structural 
materials, composites, metals, ceramics, thermoplastics, 
nanomaterials, metamaterials, hybrid composites, and cellulose 
nanocomposites have the potential to transform manufacturing 
requirements for military weapon systems. These materials can 
be low-cost, low-weight, low-logistics, recyclable, corrosion 
resistant, and strong enough to have the potential to be used 
as a substitute in many military vehicles' primary structural 
applications and maintenance to maximize force projection 
through speed, range, enhanced mobility, and payload.
    Additionally, the Department of Defense, through the 
Manufacturing Technology program, has worked in recent years to 
advance technology development for defense-essential 
manufacturing capabilities, cutting across all of the military 
services. Specifically, the Department has identified 
manufacturing technology requirements that would have the 
largest cost-effective impact on warfighter capability 
improvements.
    These technologies potentially could enable the strategic 
goals of timely, affordable delivery of revolutionary 
technologies to the warfighter. Therefore, the committee 
recommends that the Department perform research, development, 
and testing on these advanced materials in order to demonstrate 
shorter development and manufacturing cycle times, more 
reliable joining methods, and optimization for desired 
performance and economical manufacturing.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $5.0 
million in PE 67210D8Z for industrial base analysis and 
sustainment for smart digital manufacturing.

AI-enabled Robotics in CBRN and Complex Environments

    The committee supports Department of Defense efforts to 
advance artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning 
technologies in support of the National Defense Strategy and 
notes its commitment to rapid innovation and delivery of 
emerging capabilities to achieve military superiority over 
near-peer competitors. However, the committee also observes 
with interest the emerging application of AI enabled 
technologies to facilitate human-machine teaming for special 
operations forces operating in dangerous and non-permissive 
environments. For this reason, the committee encourages the 
Department to pursue collaborative partnerships with small 
businesses, industry, and academia to aggressively develop and 
field AI enabled robotics to enable safer and more effective 
maneuver operations. The goal of these efforts should be to put 
revolutionary technology in the hands of warfighters to speed 
decision-making, increase lethality, and better enable complex 
tactical operations in contested or denied environments, 
especially those where chemical, biological, radiological or 
nuclear (CBRN) threats are present or where positioning, 
navigation and timing (PNT) services are degraded. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Undersecretary pf Defense for 
Research and Engineering, in coordination with the Commander of 
U.S. Special Operations Command, to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by November 1, 2019, on its 
strategy to leverage AI-enabled robotics in support of special 
operations forces and CBRN environments.

Analysis of Science and Technology Reinvention Laboratories

    The committee recognizes that the Department of Defense's 
organic science and technology (S&T), research, development, 
and test ecosystem, to include the test centers and 
laboratories, struggles to compete with the tech sector in 
attracting and maintaining a talented workforce. These entities 
also face challenges in obtaining resources for military 
construction projects and other improvements as the Department 
has not prioritized investment in organic institutions. In 
fact, the Defense Science Board reported in 2017 that most 
Department laboratory directors feel they are unable to 
maintain their facilities and infrastructure at a reasonable 
standard.
    The committee believes that the Department's in-house 
ecosystem is vital to maintaining a technological advantage for 
our warfighters, sustaining a healthy industrial base, and 
protecting the research and development of critical 
technologies. Many prior years' National Defense Authorization 
Acts have granted the Directors of the Science and Technology 
Reinvention Laboratories (STRLs) authorities to promote 
modernization and allow for hiring of technical talent. The 
committee understands most of these authorities have not been 
fully implemented by the Department and elsewhere in this Act, 
the committee includes two legislative provisions that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to establish plans for 
implementation.
    The committee believes that comprehensive data and analysis 
relating to the STRLs available to senior leaders will promote 
better decision making and resource allocation to ensure these 
entities remain viable. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation to conduct 
an independent analysis of the Department's STRL 
infrastructure, modernization, and workforce. The analysis 
shall include the components that comprise total costs at each 
facility; accounting practices with regards to direct and 
indirect costs as compared to other typical S&T entities; 
effects of labor cost-rate growth; the use of research and 
development funding for military construction projects; the 
loss of buying power on spending for materials, equipment and 
other non-labor resources; and any other matters deemed 
appropriate by the Director to maintain high-quality 
institutions. The Under Secretary of Defense for Research and 
Engineering shall provide the Director with the information and 
resources necessary. The Director shall provide the analysis to 
the House Committee on Armed Services by September 1, 2021.

Artificial intelligence in force protection activities

    The committee is encouraged by the ongoing rapid fielding 
of commercially-available technologies that utilize artificial 
intelligence (AI) and sensor fusion to deliver enhanced force 
protection for Department of Defense personnel and 
installations. Recent advances in commercially available 
technology, including artificial intelligence, computer vision, 
and sensor technology, have made it possible to develop, 
manufacture, and deploy more effective and cost-efficient 
Reconnaissance, Surveillance, and Target Acquisition 
technologies. Accordingly, the committee believes that AI can 
significantly improve situational awareness and security for 
Department of Defense personnel through faster and better 
processing and exploitation of sensor data, recognition and 
classification of potential threats, and dissemination of that 
information to human operators for the purposes of enhanced 
self-defense. The committee further believes that AI-based 
technologies for personnel security and base defense can 
provide more effective capability and will improve operators' 
ability to detect, classify, and respond to threats. The 
committee believes that the application of AI to improve the 
safety of Department of Defense personnel and installations is 
central to improving the security of military personnel and 
encourages the Department to consider these technologies in the 
continuous effort to enhance force protection.

Autonomous distribution for critical supplies

    The committee is aware that the 2015 Joint Concept for 
Logistics 2.0 highlighted the growing gap between increasing 
logistics requirements and constrained logistics resources in 
the context of globally integrated operations. To close this 
gap, the Department of Defense is investigating advanced 
technologies suitable for distributed logistics. The committee 
understands that the Defense Innovation Unit has been 
prototyping commercial, autonomous drone services to deliver 
critical, life-saving supplies like blood and medical products 
to military units in combat zones. The committee supports the 
continued development and expansion of autonomous distribution 
systems for these efforts to move faster, reduce costs, and 
ultimately save lives. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering to 
provide a report to the congressional defense committees by 
February 15, 2020, on efforts to modernize logistical 
operations since the publication of the 2015 Joint Concept for 
Logistics 2.0. The report shall include a summary of any 
prototyping efforts and an assessment of all missions and 
requirements that could be met through autonomous distribution 
technologies.

Battery Development and Safety Enterprise

    The committee recognizes the importance of battery research 
and development as a readiness enabler. The committee notes 
that the military departments must be able to provide rapid, 
safe, and effective deployment of batteries and battery systems 
to support and enhance modern systems ranging from directed 
energy weapons to microgrids. The committee further notes that 
research to develop advanced energy storage including safe 
storage and transport, facilitates the ability to field systems 
in austere environments. The committee commends the Navy for 
establishing the Battery Development and Safety Enterprise 
Office to address these issues in a systematic way with the 
added benefit of reducing life-cycle costs of battery usage 
enterprise-wide.
    The committee recommends an additional $13.0 million in PE 
63724N for the Navy's Battery Development and Safety Enterprise 
Office. The committee encourages the Department of Defense to 
consider establishing a Battery Center of Excellence to benefit 
all services, encourage information sharing, and leverage 
efficiencies using the Navy's Battery Development and Safety 
Enterprise Office as its foundation.

Chemical and Biological Decontamination Solutions

    The committee is aware of the Department of Defense's 
continuing interest in chemical and biological decontamination 
technologies. The Department has invested significantly in 
research and development efforts in academia, Department of 
Defense laboratories, and commercial industry. The committee 
understands there are a number of different domestic and 
foreign providers of chemical and biological decontamination 
solutions for the Department. The committee is interested in 
understanding the costs, benefits, and variances of these 
different solutions, including any impact on the domestic 
industrial base. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary 
of Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services by February 1, 2020, on the evaluation criteria 
for chemical and biological decontamination solutions procured 
by the Department, including an assessment of the cost, 
benefits, and any impact to domestic suppliers.

Commercializing defense technologies

    The committee recognizes the value of defense research to 
the technological advancement and its history of ground 
breaking innovations that includes global positioning system 
navigation, the precursor of the Internet, and radar. These 
technologies that originated in the Department of Defense have 
had wide ranging impacts on society through their 
commercialization. The committee further recognizes that while 
significant effort has recently been made to streamline the use 
of commercial technology within the Department and in each of 
the military services, less attention has been given to 
commercializing defense technologies and continuing the 
Department's long record of successful innovation. The 
committee encourages the Department to create initiatives for 
commercialization of defense research, to include using public 
and private means and leverage the authorities provided in 
section 2359 of title 10, United States Code.

Counterterrorism detection technology

    The budget request contained $70.5 million in 63122D8Z for 
the Combating Terrorism Technical Support Office.
    The committee recognizes the importance of identifying and 
developing capabilities to combat terrorism, particularly in 
the global fight against terrorism and protecting Americans at 
home and abroad. The committee believes it is imperative that 
the Department of Defense continue to advance technological 
solutions to improve counterterrorism measures and deliver 
these capabilities to Department of Defense components and 
interagency partners. The committee is especially interested in 
the use of artificial intelligence enabled capabilities, 
including national language processing, phonetic identification 
across languages, and financial data tracking, that would 
provide the interagency real-time indications and warnings of 
possible threats or sanction violations.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $3.0 
million in PE 63122D8Z for Combating Terrorism Technical 
Support Office detection technologies.

Cyber institutes at senior military colleges

    The budget request included no funds for cyber institutes.
    Section 1640 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) 
authorized the Secretary of Defense to establish cyber 
institutes at each of the senior military colleges for purposes 
of accelerating and focusing the development of foundational 
expertise in critical cyber operational skills for future 
military and civilian senior leaders. The committee understands 
that the cyber institutes have not yet been established, but 
that the senior military colleges, as defined by section 1640, 
have a formal proposal for establishment.
    The committee notes that women and minorities remain 
underrepresented in the cyber security sector in both military 
and civilian settings. To increase diversity and opportunity, 
the committee expects the Department to use the cyber 
institutes to conduct effective outreach, recruiting, and 
retention programs focused on increasing matriculation in and 
completion of cyber security programs by women and 
underrepresented minorities. The committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to House Committee 
on Armed Services not later than 180 days after the designation 
of cyber institutes on the strategy of each cyber institute to 
achieve diversity in the cyber security sector.
    The committee recommends an increase of $12.0 million in PE 
303140D8Z for such institutes in order to facilitate 
development of critical cyber operational skills for future 
civilian and military leaders.

Cyber-physical research

    The budget request contained $121.5 million for applied 
research.
    The 2018 Department of Defense Cyber Strategy highlights 
the Department's plan to strengthen the security and resilience 
of networks and systems that contribute to current and future 
U.S. military advantages and to support the development of the 
U.S. cyber workforce. As no system can be completely isolated 
from all cyber-attacks, which continue to occur at 
unprecedented levels, there is also an evolving national 
requirement for cyber-physical security. Cyber-physical 
security is a combination of cybersecurity and systems 
engineering designed to ensure that critical cyber-physical 
systems, such as marine vessels, submarines, unmanned vehicles, 
and power grids, become more resilient to avoid or survive 
damage if they are attacked. Failure to protect these systems 
against inherent communication and control issues (e.g., 
network congestion and real-time computing constraints) as well 
as malicious acts (e.g., cyberattacks) can have catastrophic 
consequences.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $129.5 million, an 
increase of $8.0 million, in PE 0602123N for applied research 
into cyber-physical security.

Directed energy test range workloads

    The committee remains concerned that U.S. Major Range and 
Test Facility Bases (MRTFBs) have inadequate infrastructure to 
support next generation weapon systems. The committee also 
recognizes the need to transition new and game-changing 
directed energy technologies to the warfighter. The Department 
of Defense established the Nation's first High Energy Laser 
System Test Facility (HELSTF) in 1975, but the technology has 
seen significant advancements over the course of four decades. 
As directed energy weapon systems mature, the need to validate 
their performance becomes increasingly important. The workload 
and number of directed energy demonstrations and exercises have 
increased significantly since 1975 and the projected workload 
for fiscal years 2018-22 for HELSTF is large and growing, and 
has expanded to include High Power Microwave (HPM) testing. 
Additionally, there are currently no available enduring 
frequency agile and tunable HPM assets for evolving doctrine or 
HPM Directed Energy Concept of Operations development any at 
MRTFBs.
    The committee directs the Assistant Director for Directed 
Energy in the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Research and Engineering to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than September 30, 2019, 
on the test and evaluation infrastructure and test asset needs 
to meet directed energy requirements over the next 5 years. 
Included in this briefing should be the plans for HELSTF and 
other service MRTFB test sites, to include HPM testing, 
required for directed energy experimentation in order to 
develop the tactics, techniques, and procedures required to 
incorporate the emerging capabilities into the Department's 
inventory. This presentation should also include mitigation 
procedures for operations in the national aerospace system 
against above-the-horizon targets.

Electronic warfare planning for near-peer adversaries

    The Department of Defense's 2013 Electromagnetic Spectrum 
Strategy recognizes that Department operations in all domains 
are fundamentally dependent on our use and control of the 
electromagnetic spectrum. All joint functions such as movement 
and maneuver, fires, command and control, intelligence, 
protection, sustainment, and information are accomplished with 
systems that use the spectrum. The safety and security of U.S. 
citizens, the effectiveness of U.S. combat forces, and the 
lives of U.S. military members, our allies, and non-combatants 
depend on spectrum access. More recently, in December 2018, the 
Government Accountability Office issued an Emerging Threats 
report that similarly echoed that adversaries are developing 
electronic attack weapons to target U.S. systems with sensitive 
electronic components, such as military sensors, communication, 
navigation, and information systems. These weapons are intended 
to degrade U.S. capabilities and could restrict situational 
awareness or may affect military operations. The committee is 
concerned about the extent to which the Department is planning 
and preparing to defend itself and operate in an environment 
where peer and near-peer adversaries could use existing and 
emerging capabilities that degrade use of the electromagnetic 
spectrum.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to assess the Department's electronic warfare 
and electromagnetic spectrum operations strategy and 
implementation efforts. The assessment should include the 
current electronic warfare threat from peer or near-peer 
adversaries and actions the Department has taken in response to 
include the protection of critical warfighting capabilities; 
the extent to which the Department has incorporated current and 
emerging electromagnetic spectrum risks into service and 
combatant command operational planning efforts and exercises; 
the status and effectiveness of the Electronic Warfare 
Executive Committee established by the Secretary of Defense in 
2015; the Department's implementation of the 2013 
Electromagnetic Spectrum Strategy; and any other matters the 
Comptroller General determines to be relevant.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 1, 2020, on preliminary findings, and to 
present final results in a format and timeframe agreed to at 
the time of the briefing.

Energy systems for forward and remote operating bases

    The committee is aware of the Defense Science Board Study 
examining energy systems for forward and remote operating bases 
and encourages the Department of Defense to continue to invest 
in alternatives to improve the energy effectiveness of 
expeditionary forces. The committee is also aware of the 
Defense Science Board conclusion to explore the use of micro-
nuclear reactors as an expeditionary energy source. The 
Department's Strategic Capabilities Office has released a 
Request for Information as to the feasibility of small nuclear 
reactor prototype demands that could meet the increasing energy 
demands of expeditionary operational units. The committee 
recognizes the urgent need to provide energy to remote 
operating locations to minimize the use of fuel and resupply 
land transport missions, as well as provide a rapidly 
deployable energy source during humanitarian relief operations, 
and urges the Department to consider options to meet this 
demand, including benefits, risks, operational requirements, 
safety and costs.

Hacking for Defense

    The budget request contained $25.0 million in PE 63950D8Z 
for the Hacking for Defense (H4D) National Security Technology 
Accelerator within the National Security Innovation Network 
program.
    The committee believes that the H4D program is an 
innovative, educational, low cost, and exciting introduction to 
challenging national security problems for college students. 
H4D is a university course developed by U.S. military combat 
veterans and taught at 22 universities around the country, in 
which students apply cutting edge research and problem solving 
techniques to real-world security problems. Currently in its 
third year, the requested funding will make it possible to 
scale up H4D training and ensure that courses are available 
year-round in every State.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $30.0 million, an 
increase of $5.0 million, in PE 63950D8Z for the H4D National 
Security Technology Accelerator within the National Security 
Innovation Network program.

Hacking for Defense Support to Defense Innovation

    The committee notes that Hacking for Defense (H4D) is 
authorized as a National Security Innovation and 
Entrepreneurial Education Program in the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law No. 115-91) 
to enable Department of Defense innovation. H4D is a university 
course developed by U.S. military combat veterans and private 
sector entrepreneurs taught at universities across the United 
States in which students apply cutting-edge problem solving 
techniques to real-world national security and defense 
problems. The committee believes that H4D also enhances 
innovation education at military universities, including the 
United States Military Academy at West Point, the United States 
Air Force Academy, the National Defense University, the Defense 
Acquisition University, and other professional military 
education programs. The committee finds that H4D supports 
solution development directly for the warfighter, improves U.S. 
military readiness, and stimulates growth within the National 
Security Innovation Base, consistent with the 2018 National 
Defense Strategy. Further, the committee believes H4D fosters 
the growth of an emerging generation of national security 
leaders and mission-driven entrepreneurs by improving and 
expanding the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) 
skill sets within the United States workforce.
    The committee believes that the Department of Defense 
should fully resource H4D and its growing ecosystem of national 
security innovators and entrepreneurs through the provision of 
the annual funding required to enhance existing H4D university 
courses. The committee notes that the National Security 
Innovation Network (formerly the MD5 National Security 
Technology Accelerator) plans to deliver H4D at up to 25 
universities in Academic Year 2020-2021, as described in the 
President's Budget Request for Fiscal Year 2020, and which the 
committee supports. Further, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the congressional 
defense committees by December 1, 2019 on the plan to expand 
H4D as described in the President's Budget Request for Fiscal 
Year 2020, and on the funding and other resources required to 
expand Hacking for Defense to at least 25 additional 
universities by Academic Year 2025-2026.

Historically black colleges and universities and minority serving 
        institutions

    The budget request contained $30.7 million in PE 61228D8Z 
for research work with historically black colleges and 
universities and minority serving institutions (HBCU/MI).
    The committee recognizes the important role this program 
plays in bolstering the research capabilities at HBCU/MIs. Not 
only is such work important in meeting the research needs of 
the Department of Defense, the committee also believes it 
provides an added benefit by diversifying the Department's 
supply of scientists, engineers, and researchers working on the 
its most challenging problems.
    The committee also acknowledges the ongoing efforts of the 
Department to increase the participation of women from 
underserved populations in science, technology, engineering, 
and mathematics (STEM) related areas of research. The committee 
urges the Department to continue funding for Center of 
Excellence efforts at historically black colleges and 
universities that support training and education of minority 
women in STEM fields of interest to the military, particularly 
through research funding, fellowships and internships, and 
cooperative work experiences at the Defense Laboratories. The 
committee recommends that the Department consider increasing 
investments in these kinds of activities in future budgets to 
support Administration initiatives on HBCU/MIs.
    The committee additionally recommends that the Department 
strengthen its engagement and investments via the quantity and 
value of grants, studies, technical support contracts, and 
subcontracts with HBCU/MIs with a goal of elevating the quality 
of research and scientific activity at those institutions to 
the R1 and R2 level of the Carnegie Classification of 
Institutions of Higher Education. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and 
Engineering to submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees by March 1, 2020, on how the Department can expose 
HBCU/MIs to new levels of research and scientific problems for 
the benefit of the Department.
    In addition, the committee recommends $50.7 million, an 
increase of $20.0 million, in PE 61228D8Z for additional 
research between HBCU/MIs, and increased teaming opportunities 
between these institutions and other research universities with 
experience supporting the Department's unique requirements. 
This amount is above the enacted budget of fiscal year 2019.

Human simulation and human factors modeling

    Section 227 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) 
required the Secretary of Defense to develop and provide for 
the carrying out of human factors modeling and simulation 
activities with the purpose of accelerating research and 
development to enhance capabilities for human performance, 
human-systems integration, and training for the warfighter. The 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than January 30, 2020, on the status of this requirement. 
Specifically, the committee would like to know the extent of 
the activities implemented, the effects as yet of these 
activities with respect to their purpose, which activity 
participants, locations of the activities, and the plan to 
sustain these activities going forward.

Hybrid and electric air vehicle power and propulsion systems

    The committee understands that hybrid and electric power 
and propulsion systems and vehicles hold the potential to 
significantly increase range and endurance for military 
aviation. The committee believes such aviation capabilities 
could support the National Defense Strategy. The Department of 
Defense requires a process to certify airworthiness to allow 
flight testing of these systems. However, the committee notes 
that the Department lacks adequate design, test, and 
certification procedures and facilities for aviation-purposed 
electric motors, motor controllers, traction bus systems, and 
large primary power battery systems. The committee is concerned 
that without a certification process in place, the military may 
miss the opportunity to capitalize on these advanced systems to 
reduce logistical requirements and costs.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
February 1, 2020, on establishing procedures and facilities for 
airworthiness certification of hybrid and electric power and 
propulsion aviation systems. The report should include 
estimated cost and schedule to implement a certification 
process.

Hypersonic test infrastructure and workforce

    The committee acknowledges the joint-effort to expand and 
develop conventional prompt strike capabilities (CPS), which 
was codified in a memorandum of agreement between the 
Department of Defense, military services, and the Missile 
Defense Agency to deliver hypersonic boost glide technology. To 
achieve success in the multiple service efforts to deliver CPS 
capabilities, the committee recognizes the importance of state-
of-the-art facilities and infrastructure to support research, 
development, prototyping, testing, and deployment.
    The committee notes that recent advances have been made in 
high temperature manufacturing, hypersonic wind tunnel 
capability and material testing technology. Specifically, the 
committee is encouraged by the Department's efforts to expand 
the number of hypersonic wind tunnel and testing facilities, 
specifically at Arnold Air Force Base Engineering Development 
Center and the joint-investment at several universities, 
including Purdue, Notre Dame, and Texas A&M. However, even with 
these increases, current facilities will be stressed to provide 
the level of testing needed across the joint-efforts.
    In addition to the high demand for testing infrastructure, 
the U.S. currently lacks the workforce with sufficient 
knowledge and experience in hypersonic materials manufacturing 
and testing to develop these next generation systems. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Research and Engineering, in coordination with the military 
services and Missile Defense Agency, to provide a report to the 
House Committee on Armed Services not later than December 31, 
2019, on the health of hypersonic testing technologies and 
workforce. The report should include an analysis of current 
capacity to meet existing requirements, options to improve 
testing facilities, with cost, schedule, and operational 
considerations, and efforts that are being taken to address 
workforce gaps.
    The committee also acknowledges that System Integration 
Labs are necessary to support testing of hypersonic weapon 
systems, specifically for the U.S. Army as it proceeds with the 
long range hypersonic weapon. Therefore, the committee directs 
the Commander of U.S. Army Space and Missile Defense Command to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than December 31, 2019, on capability and capacity 
assessments to support future ground testing. The briefing 
should include an analysis of integrated hardware and software 
processes and system integration and development.

Implementation of existing authorities for the science and technology 
        reinvention laboratories

    The committee understands that the Department of Defense's 
in-house science and technology (S&T) ecosystem, to include the 
science and technology reinvention laboratories (STRLs), 
suffers from the common struggle to compete with the tech 
sector in attracting talented Innovation, Science, Technology, 
Engineering, Math (iSTEM) trained researchers and scientists. 
Yet the committee is frustrated that the military services have 
yet to use many of the authorities and responsibilities granted 
in previous National Defense Authorization Acts, such as:
    (1) personnel hiring authorities, including the authorities 
provided under: section 1599h, 2358a, and 2360 of title 10, 
United States Code; section 1109 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92;); 
and section 1124 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328);
    (2) the authority to enter into partnerships with 
institutions of higher education, including the authorities 
provided under section 2194 of title 10, United States Code; 
section 236 of Public Law 114-328;
    (3) the authority to reengineer management and business 
processes, including the authorities provided under section 
2368 of title 10, United States Code; sections 211 and 233 of 
Public Law 114-328;
    (4) the authority to carry out prize competitions, 
including the authority provided under section 2374a of title 
10, United States Code;
    (5) the authority to make technology transfers, including 
the authority provided under section 233 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-
91); and
    (6) defense-wide authorities, including the authorities 
provided under sections 217 and 232 of Public Law 115-91.
    Therefore, elsewhere in this title, the committee includes 
a provision that would require the Secretary of Defense to 
develop a master plan for using current authorities and 
responsibilities to strengthen and modernize the workforce and 
capabilities of the Department's STRLs to enhance the ability 
of the laboratories to execute missions in the most efficient 
and effective manner. The provision would require the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering to submit the 
master plan for using these authorities and a report on the 
Department's progress in implementing these authorities to the 
congressional defense committees not later than October 30, 
2020.

Integrated Silicon-Based Lasers

    The committee is aware that the Department of Defense's 
weapons platforms, such as aircraft and radars, are still 
largely burdened with difficult to install and maintain, slow, 
expensive, and heavy copper wire cabling. The Department's 
initial investments in Integrated Silicon-Based Lasers have 
identified opportunities for transforming the state-of-the-art 
in the manufacture of integrated photonics devices. Integrated 
Photonics, the use of light for applications traditionally 
addressed through electronics, is used in a wide range of areas 
including telecommunications; 5G cell towers; cell phones; 
military laser-based radars; data communications; sensing; and 
could be used to replace heavy coaxial cabling in aircraft with 
fiber optic cables that are significantly smaller and lighter.
    The committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Research and Engineering to submit a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by April 30, 2020, on how future 
military and commercial applications could use integrated 
photonics to benefit from higher bandwidth of data transfer, 
faster data transmission, and lower energy loss due to optical 
fiber being more energy efficient and lower weight than copper.

Investments in Science and Technology

    The Department of Defense's Science and Technology (S&T) 
ecosystem is complex and is comprised of agencies, offices, 
laboratories, federally funded research and development 
centers, university affiliated research centers, academic 
partnerships, test and evaluation entities, and partnerships 
with the private sector to include small businesses. The 
Department's S&T ecosystem is charged with delivering the best 
capabilities to the warfighter in the near-, mid-, and long-
term.
    However, Defense Planning Guidance issued by the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Policy has for many years mandated 
only a base of zero percent real growth in the annual S&T 
budget. The fiscal year 2020 budget request for S&T was only 
2.7 percent of the Department of Defense's base budget request 
and only 3.2 percent above the fiscal year 2019 requested 
funding level. Adjusted for inflation, the fiscal year 2020 
request was only 1 percent higher than the fiscal year 2019 
budget request.
    The committee is concerned that the lack of growth 
negatively impacts the ability of the Department to keep pace 
with the real-world cost increases in the S&T ecosystem, such 
as the ability to attract highly specialized technical labor 
like scientists and engineers with advanced degrees and PhDs, 
and maintain a technological edge.
    The committee is disappointed that this year's Defense 
Planning Guidance removed the base requirement of zero percent 
real growth. The committee is concerned that future budgets 
will show negative real growth and the Department's investments 
in its future technological edge will be even more dire. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Director, Cost Assessment 
and Program Evaluation, with analytical and resource support 
from the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and 
Engineering, to conduct a study and provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services not later than September 1, 
2021, on the effects of the Department submitting future budget 
requests with negative real growth in the Department's funding 
for S&T efforts.

Joint Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations

    Joint Electromagnetic Spectrum Operations (JEMSO) include 
all activities in military operations to successfully plan and 
execute joint or multinational operations to control the 
electromagnetic operational environment. Electronic warfare 
planning and management tools can be customized for different 
services and fielded in almost any deployment environment. 
Joint electronic warfare planning and management tool 
technology demonstrations are good initial steps towards 
managing technologies across a broader integrated electronic 
warfare system, which have the potential to neutralize and 
exploit enemy signals and equip combat forces with essential 
electronic warfare mission-planning capabilities. The committee 
therefore recommends expeditiously establishing joint 
electromagnetic spectrum operations cells at the combatant 
commands and ensuring they are equipped with the right 
resources and technology to successfully meet mission needs.

Joint Threat Warning System

    The committee recognizes that the Joint Threat Warning 
System (JTWS) provides credible threat warning and intelligence 
information to special operations forces (SOF). The committee 
notes that this program has been critical to enhancing the 
situational awareness of SOF elements by alerting them to 
threats to the force and illuminating targeting opportunities. 
The committee is concerned that the program does not include an 
air-variant precision high frequency band capability. This gap 
in coverage exposes SOF operators to unknown threats and 
decreases their situational awareness. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Commander, U.S. Special Operation Command to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than December 1, 2019, on efforts to address this 
critical air-variant high frequency gap in coverage.

Lithium-ion batteries

    The budget request contained $10.0 million in 67210D8Z for 
industrial base analysis and sustainment support.
    The committee understands that a viable, domestic source of 
lithium-ion batteries is critical to national security and 
Department of Defense manufacturing. Advances in battery cell 
manufacturing using modern equipment has the potential to 
increase the readiness and performance of essential Department 
of Defense warfighting capability that relies on safe, high-
performance portable power. The committee notes that the 
advances in modern manufacturing equipment will ensure the 
supply of domestically produced lithium-ion batteries and 
secure a competitive domestic industrial base. Additionally, 
the committee understands that the military services have an 
important role communicating that rapid, safe, and effective 
deployment of batteries and battery systems is essential to 
support and enhance the lethality of weapons systems. The 
committee further notes that development of advanced energy 
storage systems that facilitate safe storage and transport of 
these batteries is a critical element of this effort. The 
committee understands that energy storage and thermal 
management are essential to both future weapon systems and 
microgrids. The committee applauds the Navy's effort to address 
these issues through the establishment of a battery office 
dedicated to addressing these issues and reducing the cost of 
battery usage enterprise-wide through the development and 
implementation of batteries and battery storage systems.
    Therefore, the committee recommends an increase of $4.0 
million in PE 67210D8Z for industrial base analysis and 
sustainment support related to lithium-ion battery 
manufacturing.

Microelectronics

    The committee recognizes that microelectronics technology 
provides critical capabilities to Department of Defense, other 
government organizations' systems, and the commercial 
marketplace. With China's declared policy and commitment of 
dominating microelectronics market by 2025, the committee 
remains concerned with the Department of Defense's long-term 
strategy to maintain supply chain integrity and assurance 
against counterfeit parts and ensure continued access to 
trusted microelectronics. The committee is also concerned about 
the Department of Defense's lack of a robust industrial base 
and domestic supply chain for radiation-hardened 
microelectronics. The Department relies extensively on weapon 
and communications systems that must operate in high ambient 
radiation levels for national security, surveillance, 
battlefield communications, and missile defense. While there 
have been a number of attempts to address the challenges 
associated with the domestic microelectronics industry, the 
onset of 5G and the national security concerns associated with 
use of commercial microelectronics devices in military and 
other sensitive national security systems have increased the 
immediacy and level of concern. The committee supported the 
requirement in section 231 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) 
requiring the development of a microelectronics strategy. 
However, with the introduction and proliferation of 5G 
technologies, the strategy must be updated.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than February 15, 2020, on the Department's Trusted 
Microelectronics strategy. The briefing should include the 
original elements of the strategy including supplier base 
capacity and need for trusted, radiation-hardened and anti-
tamper microelectronics, and also address how the onset of 5G 
technologies is changing the national security and commercial 
marketplace for trusted microelectronics.

Military rotorcraft safety

    The committee recognizes that military rotorcraft operate 
in hazardous conditions using special tactics, techniques, and 
procedures that can lead to increased risk for pilots and their 
crews. The committee is aware of the significant risk that 
uncharted wires and obstacles pose to military rotorcraft, 
especially those flown by special operations forces and combat 
search and rescue elements. The committee also notes that 
military rotorcraft face safety and readiness challenges 
stemming from excessive aircraft vibration. The committee 
further understands that current vibration mitigation efforts 
often seek to mask or absorb vibrations without resulting in an 
actual decrease in vibration. The committee is concerned that 
there is insufficient focus on developing and fielding 
effective technology for detecting uncharted wires and 
obstacles, as well as insufficient focus on developing materiel 
solutions to help mitigate excessive vibration in legacy 
rotorcraft platforms.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air 
Force, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by February 1, 2020, on Department-wide efforts to 
identify, develop, and procure capabilities related to the 
detection and avoidance of uncharted wires and obstacles, as 
well as efforts to mitigate excessive vibration in rotorcraft. 
The briefing should include to the maximum extent practicable 
an evaluation of current commercially available systems for 
obstacle detection and analysis of any tools, processes, 
software, or methodologies currently being evaluated towards 
mitigating vibration levels.

Moving Target Defense

    The budget request contained $81.8 million in PE 603563N 
for Ship Concept Advanced Design.
    The committee supports the Department's efforts to explore 
alternatives to traditional cyber defense architectures and 
approaches to mitigate cyber vulnerabilities. The committee 
encourages the Secretary of Defense to continue to explore and 
invest in cyber technology that provides multi-tiered defensive 
capabilities, such as moving target defense.
    The committee recommends an increase of $5.0 million, in PE 
603563N, for Moving Target Defense technology.

National Academies Science, Technology, and Security Roundtable

    The budget request contained $16.9 million in PE 65798D8Z 
for Defense Technology Analysis.
    Intellectual property theft and counterintelligence threats 
pose significant challenges to maintaining a United States 
technological edge. To that end, the committee mandated the 
Department of Defense establish an initiative to support 
protection of national security academic researchers from undue 
influence and other security threats in section 1286 of the 
John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232). The committee is aware that 
implementation of this initiative, specifically gathering 
information on persons performing Department of Defense 
research at universities and participants of foreign talent 
programs, has presented policy challenges relating to privacy 
and civil liberties, and sharing of data between federal 
agencies. The committee is also aware that sharing of threat 
information by the Federal Government to academia has not 
increased through this initiative and believes that efforts 
under this initiative would be more effectively executed with 
the inclusion of appropriate domestic law enforcement agencies 
and entities, such as the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
    Therefore, the committee supports the Secretary of Defense 
convening a National Science, Technology, and Security 
Roundtable through the National Academies of Science, 
Engineering and Medicine in order to facilitate dialogue and 
formulate solutions related to protecting U.S. critical 
technology and national security information while 
simultaneously preserving civil liberties and an open science 
and technology research environment. The committee believes 
that key stakeholders from the interagency and scientific and 
academic communities, as well as foreign partner and allies 
should be part of this roundtable.
    The committee therefore recommends $19.9 million, an 
increase of $3.0 million, in PE 65798D8Z for the Secretary to 
convene the National Science, Technology, and Security 
Roundtable through NASEM.

National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to 
        Terrorism

    One of the key tenants specified in the 2018 National 
Defense Strategy (NDS) is reforming the Department of Defense 
for greater performance and affordability. In the NDS, the 
Department acknowledged that an increasingly complex security 
environment, coupled with the need to modernize and improve 
readiness, are among the factors that will require difficult 
and informed prioritization decisions. Machine learning and 
related concepts offer promise to deliver data driven decision 
making tools where the potential consequences and risk of 
selected actions can be evaluated in real time based on a wide 
variety of input sources and emerging conditions.
    The committee is aware the Department has been investing in 
the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and 
Responses to Terrorism (START) and is the largest consumer of 
data from this program. START is a university-based research 
and education center that provides an effective resource that 
has informed current counterterrorism policies and strategy. 
Aligning with the objectives specified in the National Defense 
Strategy, this funding has supported a robust and versatile 
decision matrix created by leading social scientists from more 
than 50 academic and research institutions across the country 
and around the globe.
    For example, one of the effective elements within START is 
the Leadership of the Extreme and Dangerous for Innovative 
Results Dataset and Collection, developed to assess and better 
understand the motivations and maneuvering of the leadership of 
current and emerging Violent Extremist Organizations, such as 
the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The research provides 
an analytical framework and risk based consequence management 
prediction capability that has been tested and proven effective 
on battlefields around the globe.
    The committee believes that because of the success and 
maturation of START's analytical framework, as well as its 
multi-disciplinary approach, there may be alignment with other 
Department funded priorities. The committee notes that there 
could be benefit in using the program as a prototype for other 
applications that require a mission focused capability that 
crosses functional domains and enhances warfighter lethality, 
technical superiority, adaptability, and resilience. Therefore, 
the committee encourages the Department to evaluate and fully 
fund a prototype using the START database foundation as a 
consequence management counterterrorism decision support 
application.

National Defense Education Program

    The budget request contained $92.1 million in PE 61120D8Z 
for the National Defense Education Program (NDEP).
    NDEP fosters and enhances the Department of Defense's 
ability to access high-quality science, technology, 
engineering, and mathematics personnel vital to national 
defense now and in the future. This is accomplished through 
initiatives such as the Science Mathematics and Research for 
Transformation program, a scholarship-for-service program, as 
well as the Military Child Pilot Program formally established 
by section 233 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291). The committee believes 
that investments in science, technology, engineering, and 
mathematics education to develop a future technical workforce 
are critical to maintaining a technological edge.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $112.1 million, an 
increase of $20.0 million, in PE 61120D8Z for NDEP.

Optical fiber in next generation information infrastructure

    The committee is aware of the significant wired and 
wireless information infrastructure deployments that will be 
required to operate a robust, secure next generation 5G 
network. As the Department of Defense increases investments in 
next generation information technology research and 
development, it will be critical that the Department also 
understand the strategic industries that will be required to 
grow and sustain this technology modernization. One of these 
critical technologies is the optical fiber industry, which will 
form the backbone of the wired 5G infrastructure for national 
security applications. The committee encourages the Department 
of Defense to consider the security implications of foreign 
optical fiber on 5G modernization and the importance of 
maintaining a secure, domestic industrial base for optical 
fiber.

Pilot Program for Supply Chain Awareness and Cybersecurity in the 
        Defense Industrial Base

    The budget request contained $40.1 million in PE 64771D8Z, 
for the Joint Tactical Information Distribution System, which 
includes funds for cybersecurity support to the Defense 
Industrial Base.
    The committee recognizes the thoughtful approach that the 
Department of Defense has taken on its pilot program, Cyber 
Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). This program managed by 
the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment 
has brought together experts from academia and the private 
sector to create a framework for evaluating a defense 
contractor's cybersecurity posture. The program recognizes the 
challenges of robust cybersecurity programs for small and 
medium-sized businesses seeking opportunities with the 
Department of Defense, while ensuring that cyber risk to 
Department equities is managed appropriately. As this program 
continues to evolve in its development, the committee expects 
the Department to provide regular briefings on the program's 
status.
    The committee recommends $43.1 million, an increase of $3.0 
million, in PE 64771D8Z to support the Department's program.

Protecting Critical Technologies Task Force

    According to a memorandum issued by the Secretary of 
Defense on October 24, 2018, ``each year, it is estimated that 
American industry loses more than $600 billion to theft and 
expropriation. Far worse, the loss of classified and controlled 
unclassified information is putting the Department's 
investments at risk and eroding the lethality and survivability 
of our forces.'' Protection of classified and controlled 
unclassified information, and intellectual property, when 
appropriate, is necessary for the U.S. to maintain a 
warfighting advantage.
    The committee believes that effective protection of 
appropriately designated information requires a comprehensive, 
data-based understanding of theft and exportation and that 
impacted entities, such as academia and the Defense Industrial 
Base, must be part of the Department's efforts to develop 
solutions. The committee further believes that privacy and 
civil liberties, as well as an open research environment, must 
not be compromised by efforts to protect information.
    For example, the Department funds basic research that 
benefits greatly from the global science and technology 
ecosystem. National Security Decision Directive 189 on the 
National Policy on the Transfer of Scientific, Technical and 
Engineering Information from President Reagan's administration 
outlined that the products of ``fundamental research,'' defined 
as ``basic and applied research in science and engineering, the 
results of which ordinarily are published and shared broadly 
within the scientific community,'' should remain unrestricted.
    The committee is aware the Protecting Critical Technologies 
Task Force (PCTTF), established by former Secretary of Defense 
James Mattis, is one of the entities in the Department leading 
the effort to mitigate the loss of classified and controlled 
unclassified information. The committee supports the PCTTF and 
expects to be continually updated on its efforts. Additionally, 
the committee directs the Director of the PCTTF to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than October 30, 2019, on efforts and progress to date.

Protection of National Security Research

    The committee believes that institutes of higher learning, 
laboratories, and other entities and organizations play 
critical roles in advancing national security within the U.S. 
science and technology ecosystem that is charged with 
delivering the best capabilities to the warfighter in the near, 
mid, and long-term. The committee understands that near-peer 
competitors such as China and Russia attempt to exploit and 
benefit from the open and collaborative global research 
environment created by the Reagan Administration's National 
Security Decision Directive 189 on the National Policy on the 
Transfer of Scientific, Technical and Engineering Information, 
which established that the products of ``fundamental 
research''--defined as ``basic and applied research in science 
and engineering, the results of which ordinarily are published 
and shared''--should remain unrestricted.
    The committee is also aware that academia is not always 
kept apprised by the interagency of a complete picture of 
potential activities and threats in the research community, 
such as improper technology transfer, intellectual property 
theft, and cyber-attacks directly affiliated with nation-state 
governments. Elsewhere in this bill and report, the committee 
includes measures to promote increased information sharing 
across the interagency and with academia.
    The Committee therefore directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
House of Representatives, not later than January 1, 2020, a 
report listing Chinese and Russian academic institutions that 
have a history of improper technology transfer, intellectual 
property theft, cyber espionage, or operate under the direction 
of their respective armed forces or intelligence agencies. The 
report should be in unclassified form, though it may contain a 
classified annex.

Provision of Analysis to U.S. Humanitarian Demining Organizations

    The committee recognizes the prevalence and growing use of 
improvised threats in war and the work being conducted by 
humanitarian demining organizations, with support from the U.S. 
government, to alleviate the lasting impacts of such threats on 
civilian populations. The committee also recognizes the 
expertise of the Defense Threat Reduction Agency, Joint 
Improvised-Threat Defeat Organization Directorate (JD), which 
has conducted extensive research on these improvised threats.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Director, JD, to 
submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than October 1, 2020 cataloguing previous JD research 
that could be released to U.S. humanitarian demining 
organizations to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of 
humanitarian demining efforts.

Radio frequency countermeasures for rotary wing aircraft

    The committee supports the Department's commitment to 
modernizing the vertical lift and rotary-wing capabilities 
across the services. The committee also notes with concern the 
rapid development and proliferation of advanced radio frequency 
threat systems that would possess the ability to engage rotary-
wing aircraft currently operated by the Army, Navy, Marine 
Corps and Air Force. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House Armed 
Services Committee, no later than January 31, 2020, that 
includes: a near and long-term acquisition and development 
strategy to provide radio frequency countermeasure (RFCM) 
protection for current and future rotary wing aircraft for each 
of the military services. The briefing should also include all 
current rotary-wing RFCM production programs and address any 
additional applicable programs with mature technology readiness 
levels.

Report on Designation of a National Center of Excellence for Pathogen 
        and Microbiome Analysis

    The Committee is concerned that the Department has no 
central research center dedicated to dangerous pathogen and 
microbiome research; therapeutics and vaccine development; 
workforce education and training; and advanced computational 
analysis. The lack of a central laboratory that can handle and 
ship highly dangerous pathogens while employing the most 
advanced genomic, immunology, and computational analyses has 
resulted in a suboptimal effort to research, develop, test, and 
evaluate (RDT&E) some of the most lethal threats to the 
warfighter. The Committee believes that the lack of a central 
RDT&E Institute to coordinate nationwide efforts results in 
higher costs to the taxpayer.
    The Committee believes that it is critical that the next 
generation of pathogen and microbiome researchers are educated 
through university partnerships, as neither the Defense Threat 
Reduction Agency (DTRA) nor federal contractors have the tools 
for such training. Formally designating a university-housed 
Center of Excellence within DTRA would enable a central entity 
staffed with experts in different research disciplines to 
include immunology; vaccines; therapeutics; genomics; 
bioinformatics; disease models; and artificial intelligence to 
coordinate these many efforts without the need to create 
another entity within DTRA.
    The Committee therefore directs the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Nuclear, Chemical, and Biological Defense Programs, 
with support from the Director of DTRA, to submit a report by 
December 31, 2019 to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and House of Representatives on the benefits and 
feasibility of designating and funding an existing operational 
entity which has a proven record of zero violations for safety, 
shipping, and compliance as the National Institute for Pathogen 
and Microbiome Analysis under DTRA to coordinate, focus, and 
assist DTRA's RDT&E efforts to protect warfighters from 
biological threats.

Role of universities in rapid prototyping

    The committee recognizes that the ability to rapidly 
prototype services, technologies, and systems is critical to 
expanding warfighting capabilities by reducing time and cost to 
field systems. While the Department of Defense engages with the 
university community in support of basic research and workforce 
development, the committee believes universities can also 
contribute to rapidly integrating existing and new technologies 
into the Department's systems. The committee encourages the 
Department to explore the establishment of partnerships with 
academia under a university consortium, cooperative agreement, 
or multi-institution task order contract model, as authorized 
in section 217(e) of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), to rapidly prototype 
services, technologies, and systems with national security 
applications into Department of Defense command, control, 
communications, computers, cyber, and intelligence systems and 
infrastructure.

Tactical data links

    The committee remains concerned with the lack of a 
Department of Defense-wide, comprehensive effort to achieve a 
resilient and survivable network for 5th and 4th generation 
systems data sharing in a highly contested operational 
environment. Section 234 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) directed the then-
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and 
Logistics to coordinate with the Secretary of the Navy and the 
Secretary of the Air Force to develop a competitive acquisition 
plan for low probability of detection/low probability of 
intercept (LPD/LPI) datalink network capability. The committee 
notes, however, that the Department's plan was not sufficient 
or comprehensive.
    The National Defense Strategy's shift to peer and near-peer 
threats requires joint force capabilities for operations in 
highly contested environments. The F-22 and the F-35 aircraft 
possess LPD/LPI datalinks, but their two systems, the Intra-
Flight Data Link and the Multifunction Advanced Data Link 
(MADL), cannot share information between aircraft. The 
Department identified F-35's MADL as the preferred airborne 
datalink to meet the requirement, but the associated form, fit, 
and function changes required rendered this unaffordable and 
the effort was cancelled. Additionally, the Air Force's concept 
for an Advanced Battle Management System (ABMS) for battle 
management and command and control (BMC2) also depends upon 
LPD/LPI datalinks to exchange intelligence, surveillance, and 
reconnaissance (ISR) and BMC2 information between current and 
future sensor network nodes.
    The committee believes LPD/LPI networked communications 
must be a priority, and therefore, directs the Under Secretary 
of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, in coordination 
with the Secretaries of the Air Force and Navy, to provide a 
report to the congressional defense committees by December 1, 
2019, on plans to ensure LPD/LPI communications among and 
between 5th and 4th generation airborne platforms as well as 
other network nodes for command, control, communications, and 
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance. The report 
shall include:
    (1) all current and planned LPD/LPI data link developments, 
with requirements, technology specifications and readiness 
levels, and applicability to specific platforms and network-
enabled weapon systems;
    (2) a plan and schedule for flight testing the data links 
in operationally relevant environments; and,
    (3) estimated cost and schedule to implement each solution.

University and industry research centers

    The budget request contained $86.2 million in PE 61104A for 
University and Industry Research Centers.
    The committee is concerned that although many valuable 
innovations, such as combat gauze and tourniquets, have derived 
from lessons learned on the battlefield and are now 
commercially available, many more get lost in institutions, 
laboratories, and the ``Valley of Death''. Key components of 
accessing capital, sharing information on current military 
medical gaps and private-sector capabilities to address them, 
forming synergistic collaborations across academic 
institutions, businesses and government, and providing guidance 
to entrepreneurs and start-ups all remain essential to enable 
innovations to transition for Military Medical Innovations. 
Additionally, university and industry research centers of 
excellence conduct a wide range of research to advance 
technology in support of the Army's modernization priorities.
    The committee recommends $91.2 million, an increase of $5.0 
million, in PE 61104A for University and Industry Research 
Centers to help address the challenges to expand the 
entrepreneurial ecosystem to address unmet needs for the 
Department of Defense and produce dual-use innovations.

                         LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS


              Subtitle A--Authorization of Appropriations


              Section 201--Authorization of Appropriations

    This section would authorize appropriations for research, 
development, test, and evaluation at the levels identified in 
section 4201 of division D of this Act.

    Subtitle B--Program Requirements, Restrictions, and Limitations


  Section 211--Program on Enhancement of Preparation of Dependents of 
      Members of Armed Forces for Careers in Science, Technology, 
                      Engineering, and Mathematics

    This section would make section 233 of the Carl Levin and 
Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) permanent. Section 
233 created a pilot program on enhancement of preparation of 
dependents of members of Armed Forces for careers in science, 
technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The program 
improves STEM learning and performance for children; helps 
retain service members; provides STEM education opportunities 
to children in lower socioeconomic communities from which the 
U.S. military recruits heavily; and is a national level 
curriculum that works well for families that move around the 
country.
    The committee expects the Secretary of Defense to continue 
to coordinate with other government organizations and 
departments as appropriate, to include the Secretary of 
Education, the National Science Foundation, and the heads of 
such other Federal, State, and local government and private 
sector organizations as the 0Secretary of Defense considers 
appropriate. Additionally, the committee expects the Secretary 
to continue, to the maximum extent practicable, to make use of 
the authorities under chapter 111 and sections 2601, 2605, and 
2374a of title 10, United States Code, section 219 of the 
Duncan Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2009 (10 U.S.C. 2358), and such other authorities as the 
Secretary of Defense considers appropriate.

   Section 212--Temporary Inclusion of Joint Artificial Intelligence 
 Center of the Department of Defense in Personnel Management Authority 
             to Attract Experts in Science and Engineering

    This section would extend personnel management authorities 
to the Director of the Joint Artificial Intelligence Center to 
facilitate recruitment of eminent experts in science or 
engineering through December 31, 2024.

            Section 213--Joint Hypersonics Transition Office

    This section would amend section 218 of the John Warner 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2007 (Public 
Law 109-364) by directing the Department of Defense to 
establish a coordinating office that standardizes the technical 
priorities across the Department and provides discretionary 
authorization of funding of new technologies for expeditious 
transition to the service weapons systems.

Section 214--Modification of Proof of Concept Commercialization Program

    This section would amend section 1603(g) of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-
66) by extending the Proof of Concept Commercialization Pilot 
Program through 2024 and amending the title of the section 
heading by inserting ``of Dual-Use Technology'' after 
``Commercialization.''

      Section 215--Contract for National Security Research Studies

    This section would direct the Secretary of Defense, acting 
through the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
Sustainment, to seek to enter into a contract to support the 
JASON scientific advisory group, and would require notification 
to the congressional defense committees 90 days before 
termination of such contract. The committee also expects the 
Department of Defense to provide notification to the 
congressional defense committees if the contract expires 
without renewal.

              Section 216--JASON Scientific Advisory Group

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to seek 
to engage the members of the private scientific advisory group

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
ensure fifth generation aircraft such as the F-35, F-22, and B-
21 can share and disseminate data collected by on-board sensors 
with other joint service users and platforms. This section 
would further require the Comptroller General of the United 
States to assess and provide an interim briefing to the 
congressional defense committees within 180 days after the date 
of the enactment of this Act, the Department's doctrinal, 
organizational, and technological methods of managing sensor 
data collected by fifth generation aircraft and the ability of 
fifth generation aircraft to share information collected in 
real-time with other joint service users and platforms.

   Section 220--Documentation Relating to Advanced Battle Management 
                                 System

    This section would require the Secretary of the Air Force 
to provide program documentation for the Advanced Battle 
Management System (ABMS) family of systems.
    The fiscal year 2019 budget request for the Air Force 
cancelled the long-planned Joint Surveillance Target Attack 
Radar System recapitalization and included a small amount of 
funding in existing programs as a bridge to a new concept for 
comprehensive battle management command and control. The 
committee notes that this concept, the Advanced Battle 
Management System, envisions several existing airborne and 
ground intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) and 
command and control systems connected by resilient, protected 
communications and data links.
    The budget request provided limited programmatic details on 
ABMS. The committee is concerned with the lack of discernible 
benchmarks to assess and measure progress. The committee 
understands that the ABMS Analysis of Alternatives (AOA) will 
conclude in 2019. At that time, the committee expects the Air 
Force to complete the documentation requested by this section 
and submit it to the congressional defense committees not later 
than 180 days after completion of the AOA.
    The committee also notes that Air Force modernization plans 
rely on introducing artificial intelligence and machine 
learning into a range of major weapon systems. Given the 
intended capability of ABMS, the committee believes the Air 
Force should consider prototyping and demonstrating the utility 
of artificial intelligence and automated sensor fusion as part 
of the ABMS concept.

     Section 221--Documentation Relating to B-52 Commercial Engine 
                          Replacement Program

    This section would limit funds for the B-52 commercial 
engine replacement program until the Secretary of the Air Force 
submits a capability development document and a signed test and 
evaluation master plan.

Section 222--Diversification of the Science, Technology, Research, and 
           Engineering Workforce of the Department of Defense

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
assess critical skillsets required in the Department of 
Defense's science, technology, research, and engineering 
workforce to support emerging and future warfighter 
technologies, to include an analysis of the recruiting, 
retention and representation of minorities and women in the 
current workforce, and geographic diversity.
    Additionally, this section would require the Secretary of 
Defense to develop and implement a plan to diversify and 
strengthen the Department's science, technology, research, and 
engineering workforce using existing programs and authorities 
to include authorities granted in sections 2304d, 2371, and 
2358 of title 10, United States Code.
    Finally, this section would require the Secretary to submit 
a report to the congressional defense committees within 1 year 
from the date of the enactment of this Act with the plan to 
diversify the workforce.

 Section 223--Policy on the Talent Management of Digital Expertise and 
                         Software Professionals

    This section would create a Chief Digital Engineering 
Recruitment and Management Officer at the Department of Defense 
responsible for promoting and maintaining digital expertise and 
software development as core competencies for civilian and 
military employees at the Department of Defense.

  Section 224--Development and Implementation of Digital Engineering 
        Capability and Automated Software Testing and Evaluation

    This section would direct the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Research and Engineering and the Director, Operational Test 
and Evaluation, in consultation with Under Secretary of Defense 
for Acquisition and Sustainment, the military service 
acquisition executives, the service testing commands, and 
Defense Digital Service, to design, develop, and implement 
digital engineering capability and infrastructure to provide 
technically accurate digital models to the acquisition process 
that serve as the foundation for automated approaches to 
software testing and evaluation.
    Additionally, this section would direct the Under Secretary 
and Director to carry out pilot programs to demonstrate whether 
it is possible for automated testing to satisfy developmental 
and operational test requirements to enable the Department to 
find and prevent defects in software earlier and deliver new 
capability to the field faster and on an iterative basis. This 
section would also direct the Under Secretary and Director to 
implement policies and guidance for both efforts and would 
require an initial report be submitted to the congressional 
defense committees outlining details on the selected pilot 
programs.

     Section 225--Process to Align Policy Formulation and Emerging 
                         Technology Development

    This section would direct the Secretary of Defense to 
establish a process to ensure that the policies of the 
Department of Defense relating to emerging technology are 
formulated and updated continuously as such technology is 
developed by the Department not later than 180 days after the 
date of the enactment of this Act. This section would also 
require the Secretary to submit a report on the process to the 
congressional defense committees.
    The committee notes that technology development often 
outpaces policy formulation. For example, the Department is 
investing significantly in hypersonics, artificial 
intelligence, directed energy, and other cutting-edge 
technologies without a cohesive policy regarding development 
and employment of such capabilities, including the use of these 
technologies for offensive purposes. The committee believes the 
Department should better align policy formulation with 
technology development in order to promote responsible 
capability development and facilitate rapid and appropriate 
deployment to the warfighter.

Section 226--Limitation on Transition of Strategic Capabilities Office 
                      of the Department of Defense

    This section would limit the ability of the Secretary of 
Defense to transfer the functions of the Strategic Capabilities 
Office to another organization or element of the Department 
unless certain conditions are met.

include the science and technology reinvention laboratories and 
the Major Range and Test Facility Bases. This section would 
require the master plan be provided to the congressional 
defense committees by October 30, 2020.
    The committee is aware that the laboratories and test 
facilities do not compete well across the military departments 
for military construction and other infrastructure funding and 
that authorities provided to promote and allow for 
infrastructure investment remain underutilized by the 
Department. The committee expects the Department to utilize 
authorities provided by Congress to ensure the in-house 
infrastructure of the Department remains viable in order to 
continue to support warfighter requirements.
    In developing the master plan, the committee expects the 
Secretary to enlist the expertise of the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Research and Engineering, the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, and the Director of 
Operational Test and Evaluation. Finally, the committee expects 
the Secretaries of the military departments to enlist the 
expertise of their Service Acquisition Executives and civilian 
research leadership as well as the relevant commanders of each 
military command with responsibility for research and 
engineering.

  Section 233--Strategy and Implementation Plan for Fifth Generation 
              Information and Communications Technologies

would require that the designated senior official develop a 
strategy for research and development of the next generation 
software and software intensive systems and submit the strategy 
to the congressional defense committees not later than 1 year 
after the date of the enactment of this Act.

        Section 235--Artificial Intelligence Education Strategy

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
develop a strategy which identifies the key aspects, 
applications, and challenges associated with artificial 
intelligence that can be developed into an educational 
curriculum for military service members who utilize the 
technology in the execution of responsibilities. This section 
would also require the development of an implementation plan 
for the educational curriculum, and mandates that the 
Department of Defense provide the Artificial Intelligence 
Education Strategy and the associated implementation plan to 
the congressional defense committees not later than 270 days 
after the date of the enactment of this Act.

   Section 236--Biannual Report on the Joint Artificial Intelligence 
                                 Center

    This section would require a biannual report by the 
Secretary of Defense on the Joint Artificial Intelligence 
Center (JAIC) and its efforts to harmonize the Department's 
work on artificial intelligence (AI) issues. The report would 
require the Department to detail the status of the JAIC, its 
current staffing, hiring efforts, and investment priorities. 
The report would specify how the JAIC is working with the 
military services, academia, industry, and international 
partners to develop and operationalize AI.
    The committee supports the work of the Department of 
Defense on matters related to AI, as evident in section 238 of 
the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232), which directed the 
establishment of a set of activities within the Department of 
Defense to coordinate the efforts of the Department to develop, 
mature, and transition artificial intelligence technologies 
into operational use. The committee will ensure that the 
Department approaches issues involving AI, such as workforce 
development and ethical use, in a substantive and comprehensive 
manner.

   Section 237--Quarterly Updates on the Optionally Manned Fighting 
                            Vehicle Program

    This section would require the Assistant Secretary of the 
Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology to provide 
quarterly briefings, beginning October 1, 2019, to the 
congressional defense committees on the status and progress of 
the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle program.

           Section 238--Grants for Civics Education Programs

    This section would require that the Secretary of Defense 
carry out a program under which the Secretary makes grants to 
eligible entities, on a competitive basis, to support the 
development and evaluation of civics education programs.

        Section 239--Technology and National Security Fellowship

    This section would establish a Technology and National 
Security Fellowship program within the Department of Defense to 
increase national security professionals with science, 
technology, engineering, and math degrees.

   Section 240--National Security Commission on Defense Research at 
    Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Other Minority 
                              Institutions

    This section would establish an independent Federal 
commission to advance the research capability of Historically 
Black Colleges and Universities and other Minority 
Institutions.

                  TITLE III--OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                             Energy Issues


    Energy Efficiency Improvements for Shelters and Hard Containers

    The committee notes that Department of Defense use of 
shelters, hard containers, and mobile units plays an integral 
role in overseas deployment. Many of these units are climate 
controlled in diverse and austere environments across the world 
in support of our Armed Services, often at great financial 
cost. The committee notes that use of shelters and hard 
containers requires cost avoidance, energy efficiency and 
sustainability.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
February 1, 2020, on the development of energy efficient 
shelters and hard containers. At a minimum, the report shall 
contain the following:
    (1) A discussion of the utility, viability, cost-
effectiveness, and environmental benefit of energy efficiency 
improvements for shelters;
    (2) The viability of including mobile insulation systems to 
standard Department of Defense shelters and hard containers 
with heating or cooling systems;
    (3) A discussion of other cost-saving, efficiency enhancing 
technologies;
    (4) The potential for cost savings through reduced 
environmental control system costs; and
    (5) Energy consumption and energy loss data from field 
tests of current shelters.

   Enhancing Installation Energy Resiliency through Renewable Energy

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense has a 
goal of 25 percent renewable energy for military facilities and 
institutions by 2025. The committee further notes that 
renewable energy can be an important element of ensuring energy 
resiliency and mission assurance at Department of Defense 
installations, and to that end some services have already 
exceeded the 25 percent goal in pursuit of enhanced energy 
resiliency. The committee encourages the Secretary of Defense 
to procure, construct, operate, maintain, test, and upgrade 
independent energy resilient systems for critical energy 
requirements on its military installations.
    Additionally, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to provide a report to the Senate Committee on Armed 
Services and the House Committee on Armed Services by February 
1, 2020, on the following:
    (1) the Department's progress towards meeting the 25 
percent goal by military service, the feasibility of increasing 
this goal as a means of enhancing energy resiliency, and the 
resources that would be required to accomplish a higher goal;
    (2) the extent the services share best practices in 
achieving energy resiliency through renewable energy sources; 
and
    (3) the Department's plans for achieving 100 percent energy 
resilience for its critical energy loads and the feasibility of 
achieving this goal by fiscal year 2030. If 2030 is not 
attainable, the report shall include a projection for when this 
goal will be attainable.

        Fuel Resiliency Issues within the Department of Defense

    The committee notes that the Federal Aviation 
Administration and commercial aviation industry are assessing 
sustainable alternative fuel options as a means to address fuel 
cost and energy security challenges. The committee understands 
that a commercial airline achieved enhanced performance and 
lower fuel consumption through use of a sustainable fuel blend. 
If these results can be replicated, sustainable fuel usage will 
likely increase in commercial aviation. The committee further 
notes that as these fuel options come into commercial use, 
military aircraft may encounter them when using commercial 
airfields either in the course of normal operations or as an 
emergency divert location. An assessment of sustainable fuel 
blends for military aviation use will contribute to operational 
resiliency.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, in coordination with 
the Director of the Defense Logistics Agency, to provide a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
December 1, 2019, on fuel resiliency and availability 
worldwide. The report shall include an assessment of the range 
of fuel formulations in use worldwide, particularly at divert 
locations where commercially available fuels may differ from 
military specifications; trends in the commercial aviation fuel 
market and how they may impact fuel resiliency; and what the 
Department is doing to ensure that it retains the maximum 
flexibility to refuel military aircraft worldwide.

            Geothermal Revenue Sharing Process Improvements

    The committee notes that section 313 of the John S. McCain 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public 
Law 115-232) amended section 2916 of title 10, United States 
Code, to require that half of the revenue generated by sale of 
geothermal energy resources be set aside for the installation 
that is the source of the geothermal energy to use on local 
energy, water, or military construction projects.
    The committee is concerned that the process used by the 
Navy to distribute these funds to eligible installations is 
unwieldy and slow. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of the Navy to provide a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by December 1, 2019, describing the 
current process for distributing these funds, a plan to improve 
the process so that local commanders can rapidly address base-
level needs, and the timeline for implementing process 
improvements.

   Maintenance Availability for Destroyers for Hybrid Electric Drive 
                                Retrofit

    The committee understands that hybrid electric drive (HED) 
propulsion systems operate with greater efficiency and 
facilitate greater range and on-station time. Given these 
benefits, the committee believes the Navy should make maximum 
use of the HED technology currently in its inventory. 
Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to 
provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
September 30, 2019, on the availability of Flight II Arleigh 
Burke-class destroyers for retrofit with previously procured 
hybrid electric drive systems. The report shall include a 
description of upcoming maintenance availability periods that 
would be of adequate duration to allow for installation of the 
HED, any additional barriers to installation, and any plans the 
Department of the Navy has for use of the remaining HED systems 
that would not involve installation on a naval vessel.

              Medium Power Mobile Transformer Substations

    The committee is aware of the Department of Defense's 
continuing interest in grid resiliency as it pertains to 
military installations. The committee is interested in 
understanding and determining the military installations with 
the greatest critical energy requirements and exhibiting the 
most significant energy resilience vulnerabilities. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by February 
1, 2020, on the ten military installations with the greatest 
critical energy requirements and their top five installation 
critical energy vulnerabilities and appropriate mitigation 
strategies, strategies to ensure resilience, and mature 
technologies that enhance capabilities.

    Plug-in Hybrids and Electric Vehicles on Department of Defense 
                             Installations

    The committee believes that military installations could 
improve resiliency through a network of microgrids supporting 
hybrid or fully electric administrative vehicles. Further, the 
committee notes that the majority of government administrative 
vehicles do not transit large distances, and are therefore 
ideally suited for plug-in hybrid or fully electric technology. 
Accordingly, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing 
to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
September 30, 2019, on the feasibility of requiring Department 
of Defense installations to procure plug-in hybrids or fully 
electric vehicles for the government vehicle fleet and install 
appropriate microgrids to support charging infrastructure to 
charge the vehicles.

    Report on Department of Defense and NATO Cooperation on Energy 
                             Infrastructure

    The committee recognizes that energy security in Europe is 
a critical enabler to United States military readiness in the 
region. The committee further appreciates that the United 
States has economic and national security interests in 
assisting Central and Eastern European countries in achieving 
energy security through diversification of energy sources and 
supply routes. To that end, the committee encourages the 
Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of 
State, to work with our North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
(NATO) allies and partners to study vulnerabilities from energy 
instability in Europe and develop ways to mitigate these 
vulnerabilities. The committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 1, 2020, that provides the results of this study. The 
report shall include at least the following:
    (1) identify and list energy vulnerabilities that impact 
the military readiness of the United States and its allies in 
Central and Eastern Europe;
    (2) identify and list vulnerabilities to supply routes that 
impact the military readiness of the United States and its 
allies in Central and Eastern Europe;
    (3) assess the Department of Defense's current ability to 
mitigate and respond to these vulnerabilities;
    (4) identify ways in which the Department can enhance 
integration and mitigate these vulnerabilities in the future; 
and
    (5) results of coordination with the Department of State on 
ways in which diplomatic relationships can be leveraged to 
provide energy security.

             Review of Offshore Energy Development Projects

    The committee understands that the Department of Defense 
has streamlined its process for evaluating energy development 
projects to include both onshore and offshore energy 
development under the Military Aviation and Installation 
Assurance Siting Clearinghouse (Siting Clearinghouse). The 
committee applauds this consolidation and believes it will 
ensure a consistent process for evaluating energy development 
projects for their potential impacts to military activities. 
The committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than September 30, 2019, 
on the consolidation of these functions under the Siting 
Clearinghouse. The briefing should address how offshore 
projects will be evaluated under the Siting Clearinghouse 
process, how the Siting Clearinghouse will interact with the 
Department of Interior when evaluating offshore projects, and 
whether any legislative changes to section 183a of title 10, 
United States Code, are required in order to support the Siting 
Clearinghouse review of offshore projects.

              Siting Clearinghouse Process for Wind Energy

    The development of wind energy off the Central California 
coast would provide a reliable renewable energy resource that 
would enhance energy independence and grid stability. The 
committee notes that the Department of Defense has 
traditionally used the Siting Clearinghouse process to provide 
a timely, transparent, technical, mission-specific and science-
based analysis of potential impacts to military operations from 
proposed domestic energy development. Through this process, the 
Clearinghouse traditionally looks for impacts on military 
testing and training operations. However, given the 
proliferation of offshore wind turbines in the Indo-Pacific 
theater, wind energy development off the Central California 
coast could also provide an area to develop tactics, 
techniques, and procedures for military operations in the 
vicinity of offshore wind turbines. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Executive Director of the Department of Defense 
Siting Clearinghouse to provide an analysis to the House 
Committee on Armed Services, not later than September 1, 2019, 
which outlines how the Clearinghouse process will evaluate 
real-world environments in which the military may need to 
operate to determine whether offshore wind development is 
compatible with or may enhance military testing and training 
operations. The Executive Director shall provide the House 
Committee on Armed Services with a detailed briefing that 
includes analysis of the existing California call areas 
identified by the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), a 
summary of Department concerns, alternatives being evaluated, 
and how real-world environments are being considered in the 
evaluations. In the interim, the Committee directs the 
Department not to communicate a final position of opposition to 
offshore wind leasing in any of the three California call areas 
identified by BOEM.

                    Logistics and Sustainment Issues


              B-52 Stratofortress power plant sustainment

    The Committee understands that technologies exist to 
achieve increased performance on aircraft engines using an 
advanced foam wash. Recent tests on military aircraft with the 
same or similar engines as B-52s using foam cleaning technology 
have demonstrated the ability to reduce engine temperatures, 
increase engine performance, reduce engine maintenance costs, 
increase visual inspection for maintainers, and save fuel. The 
Committee strongly encourages the Air Force to evaluate the 
benefits that can be achieved with advanced engine wash 
technologies. The Committee also directs the Secretary of the 
Air Force to provide a brief to the Committee outlining the 
interim B-52 power plant sustainment program while each 
aircraft awaits engine replacement.

                            C-17 Sustainment

    The committee recognizes the critical capability of the C-
17 Globemaster 111, which provides strategic and tactical 
airlift, medical evacuation and aerial deliveries in support of 
combat and humanitarian missions around the world. The 
committee further recognizes that the existing sustainment C-17 
Globemaster Ill strategy, which is a performance-based 
logistics contract, has resulted in consistent mission 
readiness rates that exceed 80% and fully conforms with the 
percentage limitations on performance of depot-level 
maintenance (50/50 requirements) of Section 2466 of Title 10, 
United States Code.
    The committee is aware that at a time when aviation 
readiness rates on other fleets have been lagging, the Air 
Force is considering changing the sustainment strategy for C-
17. The committee notes that Section 2337 of Title 10, United 
States Code, requires a periodic review product support 
arrangement to ensure the arrangements are consistent with the 
overall product support strategy. The committee understands 
that the Air Force contracted PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC) to 
conduct an independent Product Support Business Case Analysis 
of the C-17 sustainment strategy and that analysis has been 
completed and delivered to the Air Force. The committee directs 
the Secretary of the Air Force to provide the PWC business case 
analysis on C-17 sustainment to the House Committee on Armed 
Services no later than June 30, 2019.
    The committee further directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services no later than July 31, 2019, detailing the Air Force's 
analysis and decision-making related to changes to C-17 
sustainment

        Commercial Best Practices for Maintenance and Logistics

    The committee notes that commercial industries, such as 
passenger and cargo airlines, maritime fleets, and retail 
merchants, must manage international maintenance and supply 
chain to stay competitive. As a result, private industry seeks 
to reduce sustainment costs and increase operational 
availability by implementing innovative solutions to areas such 
as supply chain management, inventory accountability, workload 
forecasting, and maintenance practices and procedures. The 
committee believes many of these industry best practices can 
and should be leveraged by the Department of Defense to reduce 
sustainment costs and increase readiness. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense for 
Sustainment, in coordination with the Secretaries of the 
military departments, to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2020, on 
initiatives to incorporate commercial best practices into 
weapon system maintenance, inventory accountability, workload 
forecasting, and supply chain management. The briefing should 
address specific examples of commercial partnerships or best 
practices that have been adopted by the Department of Defense, 
areas of focus the Department of Defense is looking to industry 
for lessons learned or best practices, and barriers to 
implementing commercial best practices in areas of maintenance, 
inventory management, workload forecasting, and supply chain 
management.

             Comptroller General Report on F-35 Sustainment

    The committee recognizes the importance of the F-35 
Lightning II program to U.S. national defense and cooperation 
with foreign allies and partners. The F-35 is replacing a 
variety of aircraft in the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps, 
representing the future of tactical air for the Department of 
Defense. The F-35 program is the most ambitious and expensive 
weapon system in the Department's history, with total life-
cycle costs estimated by the Department to be in excess of $1.0 
trillion. While the F-35 brings advanced, fifth-generation 
aviation capabilities to our military, the program faces 
sustainment challenges in areas including repair capacity, 
global spare parts availability and capability, mission 
capability, and functionality of its Autonomic Logistics 
Information System. In addition, affordability concerns have 
led the military services to identify a need to reduce total 
operation and support costs per aircraft by 43 percent for the 
Air Force, 24 percent for the Marine Corps, and 5 percent for 
the Navy.
    Given the significance of the F-35 program to the future of 
tactical air for the military, the Department's need to operate 
and deploy the F-35 on a widespread basis in the coming years, 
the involvement of international partners and foreign military 
sales customers, and the importance of maintaining 
affordability, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to review the Department's sustainment 
efforts related to the F-35 to include issues such as:
    (1) the status of the F-35 Lightning II aircraft program 
sustainment strategy.
    (2) Department oversight and prime contractor management of 
key sustainment functions.
    (3) the Department's ability to reduce costs or maintain 
affordability for F-35 fleet sustainment.
    (4) other matters regarding F-35 sustainment and 
affordability that the Comptroller General determines of 
critical importance to the long-term viability of the program.
    The committee directs the Comptroller General to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than March 1, 2020, with the preliminary findings of the 
Comptroller General's review, with successive reports to follow 
on March 1, 2021, and March 1, 2022, respectively.

    Comptroller General Report on Homeport of U.S. Aircraft Carriers

    The committee notes that the Navy's 2018 Strategic Laydown 
and Dispersal Plan reversed a previous Navy decision to return 
an aircraft carrier to Naval Station Everett in fiscal year 
2019. The Secretary of the Navy has stated the decision was 
made due to maintenance efficiencies and to minimize the impact 
to personnel. However, the committee is concerned that the Navy 
did not make this decision by fully considering operational 
impacts, installation capacity, or State and local plans that 
could mitigate impacts to the maintenance of, and personnel 
assigned to, the ship.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to submit a report to the House Committee on 
Armed Services on recent changes to the Navy's west coast 
aircraft carrier homeporting. The review should address the 
following:
    (1) a description of recent changes to west coast aircraft 
carrier homeporting plans and the process used to make those 
changes;
    (2) the extent to which the Navy considered fleet 
dispersal, access to deep water and dredging requirements, man-
made or natural restrictions to deployability, encroachment, 
installation capacity, and previous analyses of west coast 
aircraft carrier homeporting conducted pursuant to the National 
Environmental Policy Act (42 U.S.C. 4321);
    (3) the degree to which State and local governments were 
consulted about alterations to previous homeporting plans and 
potential cost-sharing arrangements; and
    (4) any other matter the Comptroller General determines 
appropriate.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 1, 2020, on the Comptroller General's 
preliminary findings and present final results in a format and 
timeframe agreed to at the time of the briefing.

   Comptroller General Report on Littoral Combat Ship Operations and 
                              Sustainment

    The committee notes that 16 of 33 planned littoral combat 
ships (LCS) have been delivered to the Navy, with at least 15 
more under construction or in the pre-production phase. The LCS 
comprises a growing proportion of the surface fleet, yet the 
ship has limited operational experience and its mission 
packages remain behind schedule. In response to program 
challenges with executing the ships' unique operational and 
sustainment concepts, the Navy conducted an LCS program review 
in 2016 and announced fundamental changes to the ships' 
crewing, maintenance, and other operational concepts. As the 
Navy implemented these changes, it canceled planned 2018 LCS 
deployments but has announced three planned LCS deployments for 
2019. These deployments will be another opportunity for the 
Navy to test the feasibility of revisions to its operational 
and sustainment concepts, even as more LCS enter the fleet.
    Given these issues and the vital importance of affordably 
operating and sustaining the LCS, the committee directs the 
Comptroller General of the United States to conduct a study of 
the following topics:
    (1) to what extent has the Navy implemented the LCS program 
changes announced in 2016;
    (2) to what extent has the Navy demonstrated that revised 
LCS operational concepts and sustainment plans are executable; 
and what, if any, challenges did the Navy have on its initial 
deployments using this revised concept;
    (3) how has the Navy prepared to support and maintain LCS 
while they are deployed overseas;
    (4) what have been the operating and sustainment costs of 
the LCS program to date, how have these deviated from cost 
estimates, and to what extent has the Navy updated the LCS cost 
estimate to include the new operation and support strategy;
    (5) what are LCS long-term contracting strategies for ship 
repair and maintenance and to what extent do they address 
challenges related to the cost of maintaining the vessels; and
    (6) any other related matters the Comptroller General 
considers appropriate.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 1, 2020, on preliminary findings of the 
Comptroller General's review, and to present final results in a 
format and timeframe agreed to at the time of briefing.

  Comptroller General Report on Ship Repair Capabilities and Capacity

    The committee notes the Navy will seek to increase from 289 
to 355 ships in order to meet the new National Defense 
Strategy. However, the committee is concerned that the current 
configuration and capacity of the U.S. industrial base, as well 
as maintenance capabilities overseas, may not be well-
positioned to support the ship repair capabilities necessary to 
support a peacetime 355-ship Navy or to be successful in a 
protracted near-peer naval conflict. Of note, the Navy has 
consistently struggled to execute regularly scheduled 
maintenance on time with the size of the fleet it operates 
today. For example, over two-thirds of all aircraft carrier, 
submarine, and surface ship maintenance availabilities were 
completed late in the past 7 years. The Navy has also faced 
challenges in responding to emergent, unplanned ship 
maintenance work due to capability and capacity issues. The 
Navy's Long-Range Plan for the Maintenance and Modernization of 
Naval Vessels for Fiscal Year 2020 states that maintaining a 
355-ship Navy will require a significant increase and upgrade 
of public and private industrial capability and capacity to 
meet the Navy's future ship repair needs.
    Given these issues, and the critical importance ship repair 
plays in sustaining Navy readiness during both peacetime and 
conflict, the committee directs the Comptroller General of the 
United States to submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees that addresses the following:
    (1) to what extent has the Navy identified the resources 
and investments necessary to maintain and modernize a 355-ship 
Navy and ensure sufficient ship repair capabilities and 
capacity during a near-peer conflict;
    (2) to what extent has the Navy identified or assessed 
challenges or risks in the U.S. ship repair industrial base 
and/or overseas Navy capacity as part of its planning to 
maintain a 355-ship Navy and respond to battle-damaged ships 
during a conflict;
    (3) to what extent has the Navy developed plans to mitigate 
or address those challenges to ensure effective and efficient 
ship maintenance of a larger fleet and during conflict with a 
near-peer; and
    (4) any other related matters the Comptroller General 
considers appropriate.
    The Comptroller General shall provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2020, 
on preliminary findings of the Comptroller General's review and 
shall present final results in a format and timeframe agreed to 
at the time of the briefing.

                   Conditions Based Maintenance Plus

    The committee is aware the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and 
Air Force are each conducting, to differing degrees, pilot 
initiatives to assess the benefits of using a conditions based 
maintenance plus (CBM+) maintenance model on weapon systems. 
With CBM+, maintenance personnel can use algorithms that 
analyze data collected from onboard sensors or from historic 
data and maintenance trends to make informed decisions before a 
part fails. The committee believes that a CBM+ maintenance 
system can help reduce maintenance workloads, minimize the 
maintenance downtime of a weapon system, improve the management 
and response of the supply chain, reduce maintenance costs, and 
increase overall military readiness. The committee believes 
CBM+ has potential applications on both legacy weapon systems 
and new acquisition programs. Therefore, the committee directs 
the military service chiefs to each provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services not later than November 1, 
2019, on the use of conditions based maintenance systems and 
processes. The briefings should address specific weapon systems 
that are currently utilizing CBM+ approaches, observations on 
the impact CBM+ practices have had on the readiness of these 
weapon systems, plans to expand CBM+ to additional weapon 
systems, and any barriers to the expansion of CBM+.

                  Contracted Aerial Refueling Aircraft

    The committee is aware that the Department of the Navy 
utilizes the contracted air services program to provide 
contractor-owned, contractor-operated aerial refueling in 
support of Navy pilot initial qualification, recurring pilot 
training, operational test and evaluation, and cross-country 
and overwater refueling services. The Commander of U.S. 
Transportation Command testified that the Air Force's aerial 
refueling fleet is ``the most stressed capability in terms of 
sufficiency.'' The committee is also aware that as many as 
30,000 hours of aerial refueling missions are not being 
supported annually. Given the current demands placed on the Air 
Force's aerial refueling fleet, as well as the readiness rates 
associated with those aircraft, the committee believes the 
options to complement the Air Force's current and planned 
organic aerial refueling fleet should be assessed.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force, in coordination with the Commander of U.S. 
Transportation Command, to provide a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2020, 
assessing the feasibility, affordability, and advisability of 
expanding the use of contractor-operated aerial refueling 
aircraft to support Air Force receiver requirements. The 
assessment should consider the types of refueling missions that 
would be appropriate for support by a contractor-operated 
aircraft.

                    Corrosion Control and Prevention

    The committee recognizes that corrosion negatively affects 
military equipment and infrastructure, can lead to the reduced 
availability or capability of weapon systems, and creates 
safety hazards for military personnel. According to a study 
conducted for the Department of Defense, the estimated annual 
cost of the impact of corrosion is $20.6 billion on the 
Department of Defense. To help prevent corrosion, the military 
services have invested in the research and development of 
innovative coatings that can be applied to weapon systems to 
increase the durability and operational capability of the 
weapon system while reducing the cost and amount of time 
required to maintain these weapon systems. In addition to 
developing and utilizing innovative coatings, the committee 
believes the military services should ensure that sufficient 
training on the application of such coatings is available for 
military and civilian personnel involved in weapon systems 
sustainment at the installation and depot level. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense for 
Sustainment to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than November 1, 2019 that assesses the 
current capability and capacity of its workforce to perform 
corrosion prevention and control, to include the application of 
preventative coatings. The report should address any identified 
training shortfalls, to include whether there is a need to 
establish a center focused on training and research related to 
the development and application of paint and coatings.

                     Optimized Fleet Response Plan

    The committee notes that the Navy began a multi-year 
process of implementing the Optimized Fleet Response Plan 
(OFRP) in November 2014. The stated goal of OFRP was to 
maximize the availability of Navy ships for operations while 
ensuring adequate time for maintenance and training while 
providing an appropriate and predictable operational tempo for 
Navy personnel. As directed in the committee report 
accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2016 (H. Rept. 114-102), the Comptroller General reviewed 
matters related to OFRP and, while noting it was too early to 
assess the overall effectiveness, did note that there were 
signs of challenges with implementation and execution of OFRP. 
Since the Comptroller General's report in 2016, the committee 
notes the Navy has experienced delays in the schedule of ship 
maintenance availabilities, implemented a number of changes 
following the release of the Navy's Comprehensive Review of 
Surface Force Incidents and the Navy's Strategic Readiness 
Review, and is responding to the Dynamic Force Employment 
requirements of the 2018 National Defense Strategy. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to conduct an updated assessment of the Navy's Optimized 
Fleet Response Plan (OFRP), to include:
    (1) an analysis of the extent to which the Navy has been 
successful in achieving the goals it established under OFRP in 
terms of maintenance completion and timeliness, training 
certifications, personnel fit/fill rates, operational 
availability, and others;
    (2) the impact that the performance of OFRP on ship 
maintenance and training have had on the carrier air wings 
maintenance, training, and readiness;
    (3) how assumptions about operational availability and 
costs under OFRP are affecting the Navy's force structure 
assessment; and
    (4) any other matter the Comptroller General determines 
appropriate.
    The committee directs the Comptroller General to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than March 1, 2020, with the preliminary findings of the 
Comptroller General's review, with the report to follow at a 
date to be determined at the time of the briefing.

          Planning, Programming, and Budgeting for Sustainment

    After several years of civilian and military leaders of the 
Department of Defense raising concerns about the readiness of 
the Armed Forces, the Congress passed a 2-year budget agreement 
that provided additional resources for the Department of 
Defense. Despite the readiness challenges raised, and 
additional resources provided, the committee is concerned that 
the Department failed to sufficiently plan, program, or budget 
for key readiness-enabling accounts that provide for the 
sustainment of weapon systems and equipment. For example, the 
budget request for fiscal year 2020 provides for only 82 
percent of the Marine Corps ground depot requirement, 92 
percent of the Navy ship depot maintenance requirement, and 90 
percent of the Air Force weapon systems sustainment 
requirement. The committee is concerned that the military 
departments frequently state the accounts are funded to their 
``maximum executable rate'' without being able to provide 
supporting analysis or describe what actions need to be taken 
to increase the execution rates. While the committee recognizes 
the need to invest in modernization and new weapon systems in 
support of long-term readiness, such investments must be 
appropriately balanced with the sustainment accounts that 
maintain and improve the materiel condition of today's weapon 
systems and equipment. Without sufficient investment in the 
sustainment accounts, the near-term readiness of the Department 
will continue to be challenged.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretaries of the 
military departments to each provide a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than February 1, 2020, 
that provides a detailed plan for the planning, programming, 
budgeting, and execution of funding that support the 
sustainment of weapon systems and equipment. The reports should 
describe how the military departments calculate their 
sustainment requirements, how the maximum executable 
sustainment funding level is calculated, barriers to increasing 
sustainment execution, and actions being taken to improve the 
planning, programming, budgeting, and execution of accounts 
that support the sustainment of weapon systems and equipment.

    Report on the National Guard's Equipment Reimbursement Policies

    In accordance with National Guard Regulations, State 
Adjutant General have the authority to use federal equipment 
during State Active Duty (SAD) missions, and the United States 
Property and Fiscal Officers have the responsibility to seek 
reimbursement for the use of that equipment. Comptrollers who 
have received these reimbursements from the states had been 
depositing them in three different ways: to current fiscal year 
operation and maintenance accounts of the National Guard, to 
the operation and maintenance accounts of the National Guard 
for the fiscal year during which the SAD mission took place, 
and to the General Fund of the U.S. Treasury. The committee is 
aware of a recent legal interpretation and updated policy 
guidance that requires all reimbursements to be deposited in 
the General Fund of the U.S. Treasury. The committee is 
concerned that this new policy may adversely impact maintenance 
and sustainment of equipment used for SAD missions.
    The committee understands that the Chief of the National 
Guard Bureau has been working with the State Adjutant Generals 
to identify potential legislative changes that may be necessary 
to allow reimbursements to be retained and utilized by the 
National Guard. Therefore, the committee directs the Chief of 
the National Guard Bureau to provide a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services, not later than March 1, 2020. At 
minimum, the report should provide details on the amount of 
reimbursements for SAD missions deposited to the U.S. Treasury 
in fiscal year 2019 and, if required, a legislative proposal 
that would ensure reimbursed funds could be utilized for the 
maintenance and sustainment of equipment utilized in SAD 
missions.

                            Readiness Issues


          Allocation of Excess Property for Wildfire Fighting

    The Committee is supportive of Department of Defense 
programs that transfer surplus and excess military equipment to 
federal, state, and local agencies with responsibilities for 
combating wildfires and emergency services. As the threat of 
wildfires increases, the Firefighter Property Program (FFP) and 
the Federal Excess Personal Property Program (FEPP) provide 
first responders with critical firefighting and emergency 
service resources.
    Wildfire risks are not evenly distributed, and the 
Committee is supportive of ensuring that communities with the 
greatest need and threat of wildfire have equitable access to 
Department of Defense surplus property.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
acting through the Director of the Defense Logistics Agency, in 
coordination with the Secretary of Agriculture, acting through 
the Chief of the United States Forest Service, to develop an 
assessment of FFP and FEPP implementation, training, best 
practices, and equipment distribution taking into account need 
and risk. Further, the Secretary of Defense acting through the 
Director of the Defense Logistics Agency, shall provide a 
report on its findings and any recommendations to more 
efficiently increase firefighting and emergency service 
capabilities to the Committees on Armed Services and 
Agriculture of the U.S. House of Representatives, no later than 
180 days after the date of enactment of this Act.

                          Army Urban Training

    The committee remains concerned that the Department of 
Defense is not prepared to operate in complex, densely 
populated urban cities which are the likely terrain of future 
major conflict. The committee supports the Department's ongoing 
efforts, but questions whether the Army has prioritized this 
challenge. Specifically, the committee believes the Army should 
establish two entities to address this gap. First, the Army 
should establish an Army urban warfare center dedicated to the 
study and research of urbanization, mega-cities, urban warfare, 
and military operations in dense urban environments.
    Second, the Army should construct an urban warfare training 
center that focuses on advanced skills to fight, survive, and 
win in urban operating environments at the brigade level and 
higher. This training facility would address the challenges 
associated with vertical, subterranean, and dense urban 
terrain, and the inclusion and integration of joint and 
interagency enablers.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than December 1, 2019, on the Army's plan to prepare 
and train for high-intensity conflicts in dense urban warfare. 
The briefing should include:
    (1) how the Army plans and prepares doctrine for urban 
warfare, including any plans to establish an urban warfare 
center;
    (2) an updated overview of a plan and timeline to construct 
an urban warfare training center for dense urban warfare at the 
brigade level and higher; and
    (3) an identification of costs associated with the 
construction of an urban warfare training center.

  Assessment of Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation and Collision 
                           Awareness Systems

    The committee understands that despite numerous safety 
procedures designed for safe, effective training--such as 
assignment of different block altitudes, low altitude training 
rules, and dive recovery rules--the majority of midair 
collisions and terrain crashes involving combat aircraft occur 
during training exercises, not combat operations. These mishaps 
have repeatedly and tragically resulted in losses of life and 
aircraft. To mitigate the current risk for midair collision and 
controlled flight into terrain during air combat training, the 
committee encourages the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps 
officials to consider a collision awareness system that can 
leverage existing infrastructure and systems that would allow 
range training officers and pilots to receive notifications in 
the event a potential midair or terrain crash is assessed.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretaries of the Air 
Force and Navy, not later than November 29, 2019, to provide to 
the congressional defense committees a report of the 
utilization of air combat maneuvering instrumentation systems 
for these purposes. This report shall include detailed analyses 
on the costs, benefits, and feasibility of building out this 
capability on air combat maneuver instrumentation equipment on 
all combat aircraft as the basis for a collision awareness 
system at all relevant training ranges.

     Cold Weather Organizational Clothing and Individual Equipment

    The committee commends the Army for taking necessary steps 
to improve and modernize cold weather organizational clothing 
and individual equipment (OCIE) such as glove systems and 
handwear to provide soldiers with a distinct combat advantage. 
The committee is concerned that current procurement timelines 
are too lengthy and will prevent cold weather units from 
receiving the most effective cold weather items in a timely 
manner. Such delay could negatively impact both the readiness 
and lethality of the Army's cold weather combat units. 
Therefore, the committee encourages the Secretary of the Army 
to review these acquisition timelines and take steps to make 
cold weather OCIE items, including handwear, available to all 
eligible soldiers as soon as possible through the programs of 
record. Further, the committee supports efforts by the services 
to support a strong domestic industrial base to ensure that 
innovative and cost-effective cold weather OCIE items are 
available now and in the future.

Comptroller General Assessment of Surface Fleet Manning, Workload, and 
                                Training

    The committee notes the Navy has taken steps to improve 
shipboard manning and decrease sailor fatigue and workload 
after the loss of life from ship collisions in 2017. The Navy 
has reevaluated shipboard and in-port workload, updated surface 
fleet manpower requirements, established minimum thresholds for 
filling billets with sailors (``fill'') possessing the 
appropriate skills (``fit''), and directed the implementation 
of watchbills and shipboard routines to combat fatigue. 
However, the committee is concerned that manning difficulties 
and cultural resistance may hinder full implementation of these 
initiatives. While the Navy is attempting to improve manning 
and fatigue management, it is simultaneously implementing the 
Ready Relevant Learning (RRL) initiative, meant to provide 
sailors with more timely and targeted training. The committee 
remains concerned about RRL's implementation across the fleet 
and its efficacy in preparing sailors to execute their 
workload, especially as the Navy grows the size of the surface 
fleet.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to submit a report to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than December 1, 2020, and to provide 
a briefing on preliminary findings not later than April 1, 
2020, addressing the following:
    (1) to what extent is the Navy meeting manning fit and fill 
goals for sea duty;
    (2) actions the Navy is taking to mitigate any manning fit 
and fill shortfalls and when shortfalls are projected to be 
addressed;
    (3) how manning guidance and implementation in the surface 
community differs from that of the aviation and submarine 
communities and from Federal guidelines for other professions;
    (4) whether the Navy is positioned for a significant 
manpower increase based on an increase to a 355-ship Navy and 
to what extent the Navy's training pipelines are being 
resourced to accommodate the increased demand;
    (5) to what extent circadian rhythm watchbills and 
shipboard routines have been implemented in the surface fleet, 
factors that impede full implementation, and actions the Navy 
has taken to mitigate these factors;
    (6) the measures of effectiveness for RRL training and the 
effect the RRL approach has on fleet readiness; and
    (7) how RRL is affecting the qualifications of sailors when 
they arrive at their first duty assignment as part of the 
Forward Deployed Naval Forces, and how ship manning affects the 
successful implementation of this training approach.

           Comptroller General Report on Army Rail Capability

    The committee notes that in 2012, the Army proposed a force 
design update that would provide the rail capabilities required 
for the contemporary operational environment. This force design 
was approved by the Army Training and Doctrine Command's Army 
Capabilities Integration Center and thereby created the Army 
Reserve Expeditionary Railway Center.
    The committee notes that the Expeditionary Railway Center's 
mission is to provide rail network capability and 
infrastructure assessments; perform rail mode feasibility 
studies; provide advice on the employment of rail capabilities; 
perform and track railway rolling stock capability assessments; 
and perform and assist with rail planning in support of 
military strategic and operational requirements.
    In order to determine whether these actions have resulted 
in an improvement to the Department of Defense's rail 
capabilities, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to submit a report to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives by 
December 1, 2020, explaining to what extent the Army, through 
the Expeditionary Railway Center, has assessed current rail 
capabilities and addressed any identified gaps; if the Army's 
2012 force design update and the Expeditionary Railway Center 
have been successful in meeting combatant command requirements; 
and how existing mechanisms inform Army and Department decision 
makers about the ability of the Department's rail system to 
meet combatant command needs.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 1, 2020, on the Comptroller General's preliminary 
findings.

  Comptroller General Report on Navy Collective Training for High-End 
                            Combat Missions

    The committee notes that the 2018 National Defense Strategy 
stated that, in order to prepare for long-term strategic 
competition, the U.S. military must train to ``high-end combat 
missions'' alongside allies in bilateral and multinational 
exercises. However, as the Government Accountability Office 
testified in 2018, the Navy has focused recent efforts on 
training up to existing standards and certifications in order 
to rebuild readiness. Meanwhile, foreign militaries have been 
improving the scope, complexity, and realism of their training. 
As a result, the committee recognizes that U.S. Navy training 
and exercises need sufficient realism in order to match our 
near-peer competitors and provide the readiness and 
capabilities needed to succeed in a high-end fight. 
Accordingly, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to conduct a study addressing:
    (1) the extent to which the Navy's training standards have 
been updated or changed to portray realistic scenarios, as 
based on current intelligence;
    (2) the extent to which Navy training and exercises 
incorporate current and future threats, including cyber 
attacks, electronic warfare, new acoustic sensors, and unmanned 
underwater vehicles;
    (3) the extent to which current warfare certifications and 
training readiness data provide an accurate portrayal of the 
Navy's readiness to perform in high-end combat missions; and
    (4) any other related matters the Comptroller General 
considers appropriate.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 1, 2020, on preliminary findings of the 
Comptroller General's review, with the report to follow at a 
date to be determined at the time of the briefing.

Comptroller General's Report on the Army's Use of Global Combat Support 
                                 System

    The committee notes that logistics is a key combat support 
area and a critical enabler underpinning U.S. military power. 
The Army manages tactical logistics with the Global Combat 
Support System-Army (GCSS-Army), which replaces several 
separate legacy information systems used to manage logistics 
support activities at the Army tactical unit level. Once fully 
fielded, GCSS-Army will manage billions of dollars in assets on 
an annual basis and will have more than 150,000 users. In April 
2015, the Government Accountability Office reviewed the early 
implementation of GCSS-Army at selected units and found that it 
was generally meeting their logistics requirements. At that 
time, however, very few tactical units had the full system 
capability and the units were not deployed when using the 
system. The Army was expecting to fully field GCSS-Army to its 
tactical units by September 2017, but this did not occur.
    Given this limited field experience to date, the committee 
directs the Comptroller General of the United States to submit 
a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by June 1, 
2020, explaining the following:
    (1) how tactical units manage and track logistics support 
activities using GCSS-Army when deployed in a military 
operation,
    (2) to what extent the Army has tested and evaluated the 
use of GCSS-Army for logistics support during military 
operations, and
    (3) to what extent is GCSS-Army able to provide geographic 
combatant commanders and other military leaders a common 
operating picture of logistics support during military 
operations.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 1, 2020, on the Comptroller General's preliminary 
findings.

               Corrosion Mitigation for Tactical Aircraft

    While the U.S. military updated aircraft cleaning and 
corrosion control requirements to mitigate corrosion and 
maintain aircraft readiness, the committee understands that the 
U.S. Army may not be currently performing recommended rinsing 
procedures at certain locations due to lack of appropriate 
equipment at those locations. The committee also notes that 
lack of rinse equipment can present greater challenges in 
austere environments where sand, dirt, and salt can cause 
significant damage to aircraft and components and where the 
lack of infrastructure and water resources also poses 
challenges. Noting the significant costs associated with 
airframe corrosion, the committee believes the use of 
commercial, off-the-shelf (COTS) tactical rise systems may 
provide a quick return on investment.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
no later than September 27, 2019, on the potential for wider 
fielding of COTS tactical rinse systems for taxi-through fixed 
and rotary wing aircraft. This briefing shall include a 
detailed description of evaluations of such rinse systems to 
date, a list of locations that currently lack such rinse 
systems, whether there is a plan for using fielding additional 
capabilities to address corrosion prevention and control for 
taxi-through aircraft, and the potential for a program of 
record for this capability.

      Department of Defense Fire and Emergency Services Reductions

    The committee commends the Office of the Assistant 
Secretary of Defense for Sustainment for its efforts to achieve 
cost savings and provide military installations with the 
necessary services in the event of an emergency. However, the 
committee is concerned that the planned reductions in fire and 
emergency services go too far in its reduction of appropriate 
response personnel. As the reductions in services proceed, the 
committee encourages the Office of the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Sustainment to ensure that there is an appropriate 
number of fire and emergency personnel to provide adequate 
response protection at military installations. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report 
to the House Committee on Armed Services by December 1, 2019 on 
the effects of currently planned reductions to fire and 
emergency services as it pertains to providing adequate fire 
and emergency response protection at military installations.

                      Hearing Protection Measures

    The committee notes that despite the widespread 
availability of ear protection equipment across the Department 
of Defense, service members continue to experience hearing loss 
attributed to their military service. The committee believes 
that the Department of Defense should adopt a more innovative 
approach to prevent hearing loss.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
January 1, 2020, on current hearing protection measures in use 
during combat and training and the effectiveness of these 
devices for a range of combat, combat support, and 
administrative specialties. The report should also compare 
hearing for service members upon entry into the military 
services to the end of the first term of service and compare 
discharged members receiving service-connected benefits for 
hearing loss. This report should also include recommendations 
for innovative safe technologies that could be used to deter 
hearing loss or improve hearing through training and combat.

                Live, Virtual, and Constructive Training

    The committee continues to recognize the important role 
that Live, Virtual, and Constructive (LVC) and game-based (LVC-
G) systems can play to improve military capabilities and 
readiness for missions in contested environments. While the 
Army, Marine Corps, Navy, and Air Force each have various 
programs and initiatives to leverage LVC and LVC-G systems, the 
committee is concerned the services lack clear investment 
strategies or plans to scale the use of LVC and LVC-G systems 
to improve and sustain military readiness. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretaries of the military departments 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than November 1, 2019, on the military services' 
investment strategies and plans to scale the use of LVC and 
LVC-G systems. In addition, the briefing should address efforts 
to use LVC and LVC-G systems to enhance joint and multinational 
training and readiness and how LVC and LVC-G training will be 
assessed within the Defense Readiness Reporting System.

 Minimal-Notice Examinations of Naval Vessels and Associated Manpower 
                              Requirements

    The committee notes that naval vessel examinations are 
critical for assessing the material readiness of the U.S. Navy 
fleet. In order to provide a more accurate representation of 
the material condition of each vessel without the benefit of 
dedicated inspection preparation, section 322 of the John S. 
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 
(Public Law 115-232) required that examinations of naval 
vessels be conducted on a minimal-notice basis. The committee 
is aware that the Navy is undertaking a phased implementation 
of this requirement that aims to achieve 100 percent minimal 
notice by late 2019. The committee therefore directs the 
President of the Navy's Board of Inspection and Survey to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 1, 2020, on the results and lessons learned from its 
implementation of minimal-notice examinations. In addition, the 
committee is aware of a potential shortfall in the number of 
inspectors available to meet the Navy's new examination 
requirements and directs the President of the Board of 
Inspection and Survey to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2020, on the results of 
its upcoming Shore Manpower Requirements Determination.

                  Mission Capability Rating Assessment

    On September 17, 2018, the Secretary of Defense issued a 
memorandum to the Secretaries of the military departments 
directing they achieve a minimum of 80 percent mission 
capability rates and reduce operating and sustainment costs for 
F-35, F-22, F-16, and F-18 aircraft by the end of fiscal year 
2019. In addition, the memorandum directed the military 
departments to ``set and pursue aggressive targets for other 
enduring fixed- and rotary-wing aviation assets.'' The 
committee supports the military departments' efforts to improve 
the mission capability rates of aviation assets and reduce the 
operating and sustainment costs of such assets. The committee 
seeks to understand the lessons learned from this initiative 
and how the improved readiness levels can be sustained and 
applied to other components of the Armed Forces.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretaries of the 
military departments to each provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services, not later than November 1, 2019, 
on the results of their efforts to meet the directive outlined 
in the September 2018 memorandum. The briefing should address 
specific actions taken to meet the 80 percent mission 
capability objective for each of the aircraft identified, the 
framework for sustaining an appropriate mission capability 
rating for each of the aircraft going forward, and plans to 
expand the mission capability initiative to other weapons 
systems that operate in the air, land, and sea domains.

                    Navy Readiness Assessment Teams

    The committee is aware that the Navy leverages Engineering 
Readiness Assessment Teams (ERATs) and Combat Systems Readiness 
Assessment Teams (CSRATs) to provide periodic material 
condition assessments and training assistance to the Navy's 
surface forces in the Atlantic and Pacific Fleets. Conducting 
approximately 150 ship visits per year, ERATs help improve 
technical knowledge, operational understanding, and operational 
performance of the crews aboard Navy surface ships. The Navy 
has identified ERATs as an integral component of the Optimized 
Fleet Response Plan training cycle and the committee believes 
ERATs help enhance unit readiness.
    The committee is concerned about differences in the 
contracting process for the ERAT and CSRAT programs. Of 
particular concern is the lack of a uniform, standard, and 
consistent funding source and the lack of an integrated program 
management construct to unify the ERAT and CSRAT requirements, 
management, and execution across both the Atlantic and Pacific 
Fleets. This, coupled with the use of a non-Navy contract 
vehicle, has further contributed to decline in execution of 
both ERAT and CSRAT requirements. The committee believes the 
Navy should seek ways to improve the coordination, 
administration, and execution of these programs.
    The committee is aware that Navy Surface Forces Atlantic is 
in the process of adjusting its acquisition strategy for the 
delivery of ERAT services. As these adjustments are made, the 
committee will continue to closely monitor these changes, as 
well as the management and funding of the ERAT and CSRAT 
programs, to ensure the ERAT and CSRAT programs continue to 
efficiently and effectively support the readiness of the Navy's 
surface ships.

                    Northern Strike Exercise Funding

    The committee notes that the Northern Strike exercise is 
one of the largest Reserve Component exercises supported by the 
Department of Defense. This annual event develops full-spectrum 
combat readiness of National Guard, Active Component, and 
coalition partner units through realistic, joint live-fire 
training with an emphasis on joint and coalition force 
cooperation. The committee recognizes that the Northern Strike 
exercise has over 5,000 participants from all military services 
and military units from the United Kingdom, Germany, Poland, 
Hungary, Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia. However, the committee 
is concerned that the Department of Defense has inconsistently 
programmed funding for this annual event. Accordingly, the 
committee directs the Chief, National Guard Bureau to submit a 
report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives by December 1, 2019, that provides 
the following:
    (1) the annual cost of the Northern Strike exercise broken 
out by account over the last 5 years;
    (2) the number and countries of foreign partner 
participants over the last 5 years;
    (3) the number of military personnel by service and 
component over 5 years broken out by service; and
    (4) the anticipated funding for future exercises in the 
Future Years Defense Program.

                Report on Security Clearance Processing

    The Committee is concerned with the persistent backlog of 
security clearance applications and the impact that has on our 
national security apparatus' ability to effectively recruit and 
retain high-quality professionals. In 2018, the Government 
Accountability Office added the government-wide personnel 
security clearance process to their High-Risk List, which 
identifies federal areas in need of urgent reforms to address 
significant challenges. Pursuant to Executive Order 13869, the 
responsibility for background investigations functions has been 
transferred to the DoD, which combines the Defense Security 
Service, the Consolidated Adjudication Facility, the National 
Background Investigative Bureau, and several other components 
under the newly renamed Defense Counterintelligence and 
Security Agency. Consistent with this transfer of authority, 
the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
report to the congressional defense committees not later than 
180 days after the enactment of this Act detailing the scope of 
both the investigative and adjudicative backlog, how cases are 
disposed of (whether adjudicated or otherwise disposed of some 
other way), current staffing levels at DSCA, and what reforms 
are being put in place to reduce these backlogs while ensuring 
a high-quality security clearance process.

 Use of Funds Provided for the Defense Community Infrastructure Program

    The committee believes the Defense Community Infrastructure 
Pilot Program (DCIP) authorized by section 2861 of the John S. 
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 
(Public Law 115-232) can be a powerful tool for the long-term 
sustainment and resiliency of defense installations. However, 
the committee is concerned that the Department of Defense has 
yet to issue a policy, guidance, or other documents regarding 
the use of this new authority.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, in coordination with 
the Director of the Office of Economic Adjustment, to provide a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
February 1, 2020, on the Department's implementation of DCIP. 
The report should address how the DCIP program will be 
structured, policy guidance that has been issued for the 
management of the program, how projects will compete and be 
selected for funding, a description of projects that have been 
selected, and a timeline for the award and completion of such 
projects.

      Utilization of Recycled Products in Military Clothing Items

    The committee commends the Department of Defense on its 
most recent update to its internal instruction on the 
implementation of a sustainable procurement program for 
recycled content products. In line with the Department's 
internal instruction, and in the committee report accompanying 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (S. 
Rept. 112-26), the Secretary of Defense was required to submit 
a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives on the utilization of recycled 
products in military clothing items. That report cited four 
military clothing items made from recycled materials at the 
time, including the Protective Combat Uniform for the Special 
Forces, the Third Generation Extended Cold Weather Clothing 
System, Underwear, and the Army Fleece Jacket. Given the amount 
of clothing items in the Department of Defense and prevalence 
of recycled content products, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the House Committee 
on Armed Services by March 1, 2020, on the feasibility of 
incorporating additional recycled content products into these 
clothing items and other environmental protection clothing 
items currently being utilized by service members.

            Value of Energy and Logistics Informed Exercises

    The committee notes that logistics play a critical role in 
the success of military operations. Unfortunately, logistics, 
specifically fuel and energy resource availability, are 
routinely ``assumed out'' of military exercises, diminishing 
the value of those opportunities to identify critical gaps in 
our logistics plan. Additionally, the Department of Defense can 
do more to protect logistics information from adversaries. 
Therefore the committee encourages the Department of Defense to 
conduct realistic war games and exercises that accurately 
reflect the potential threats and limitations of the joint 
logistics enterprise and encourages continued investment in its 
logistics enterprise as an enabler of power projection and 
sustainment operations against strategic competitors.

        Women, Peace and Security Strategy in Military Training

    The committee recognizes that the Women, Peace and Security 
Strategy Act of 2017 (Public Law 115-68) required that relevant 
personnel receive training, as appropriate, in conflict 
prevention, peace processes, mitigation, resolution, and 
security initiatives that specifically addresses the importance 
of meaningful participation by women, gender considerations and 
meaningful participation by women, and effective strategies and 
best practices for ensuring meaningful participation by women. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services, not 
later than March 1, 2020, on how the Department is complying 
with the requirements of Public Law 115-68 and how the required 
training is incorporated into pre-deployment training for units 
and military personnel deploying overseas.

                             Other Matters


                       Aircraft Noise Mitigation

    The committee is concerned that decisions made by the 
military departments with respect to basing and operating 
military aircraft may have adverse noise impacts on the private 
property and municipal properties such as schools that are 
located in close proximity to military installations and 
auxiliary military airfields at which tactical aircraft are 
based and train. The committee is concerned that, while these 
impacts are considered during required environmental reviews 
and consultations, the military departments may not be taking 
sufficient action to mitigate the impacts identified during 
these reviews and consultations.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than March 1, 2020, on the available programs and 
authorities to mitigate the effects of military aircraft noise 
on private residences, schools, and hospitals. The report 
should address specific programs and authorities that are 
available for such mitigations, the process used to provide for 
such mitigations, a list of military installations where such 
mitigations have been made to private residences or other 
entities outside the installation within the last 5 years, and 
a list of military installations where there are currently 
private residences or other entities being considered for such 
mitigations in the future.

                       Alternatives to Burn Pits

    The Committee notes the Department's efforts to phase out 
the use of open burn pits for disposal of waste in contingency 
locations, unless there is no feasible alternative, and the May 
31, 2019 report to Congress that indicated that ``no technology 
or equipment solution has been devised that could eliminate all 
waste burning requirements for every contingency location.'' 
The Committee encourages the Department to accelerate RDT&E for 
technology or equipment solutions to eliminate the need for 
open burn pits and to establish a safe, cost-effective, long 
term solution for toxic waste disposal that can be used in any 
contingency environment. The Committee directs the 
Undersecretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
February 1, 2020, on the Department's assessment of available 
alternatives to open burn pits, including any commercially 
available solutions, RDT&E efforts to develop a feasible 
alternative for use in contingency environments, any resource 
constraints for acquisition of a technology or equipment 
solution to eliminate the need for open burn pits, and a plan 
of action and timeline for the projected transition to a new 
technology or equipment solution.

                   Aqueous Film Forming Foam Training

    The committee notes that while there has been significant 
policy guidance issued from headquarters related to 
perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) and perfluorooctanoic acid 
(PFOA), it is unclear whether there is adequate training of 
individuals who are in regular contact with aqueous film 
forming foam (AFFF) about the potential dangers associated with 
PFOS and PFOA. The committee encourages the military services 
to ensure that service members are aware of the potential 
hazards related to AFFF and are aware of best practices for its 
use, maintenance, and disposal.

     Authorities Available to the Department of Defense for Tribal 
                               Mitigation

    The committee notes that there are many situations in which 
military training or construction activities impact tribal 
lands, cultural properties, or tribal treaty rights. The 
committee further observes that consultation between the 
service action proponent and the impacted tribe is required by 
law. While consultation on these impacts often occurs in 
parallel to environmental planning under the National 
Environmental Policy Act (Public Law 91-190), impacts to tribes 
and the potential mitigation of those impacts goes beyond the 
scope of environmental mitigation. The committee notes that 
environmental authorities and funding mechanisms such as the 
Sikes Act (Public Law 86-797) are one tool for addressing these 
impacts, but should not limit the Department of Defense from 
using other authorities or mechanism to mitigate impacts.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services by January 31, 
2020, on the authorities available to the Department and 
military services to address tribal mitigation and funding 
mechanisms for those mitigations. The report shall include 
analysis on whether the existence of a treaty with the United 
States changes the authorities available, and if so describe 
the differences.

Best Practices for Cleanup and Disposal of PFOS- and PFOA-Contaminated 
  Groundwater, Soils, and Filters and Gaps That Require Further Study

    The committee notes that the class of man-made chemicals 
known as per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances have presented 
particular challenges with respect to cleanup and disposal. The 
committee further notes that as the Department of Defense 
transitions from cutting off exposure to perfluorooctanoic acid 
(PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS) to cleanup actions 
under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, 
and Liability Act, the Department must conduct these actions in 
a manner that is effective in protecting human health and the 
environment.
    The committee understands that further research and study 
are required to develop disposal methodologies beyond high-heat 
incineration, which is the only known way to dispose of PFOS- 
and PFOA-contaminated materials. The committee notes that this 
method of disposal presents concerns about whether the 
chemicals are adequately broken down and about the production 
of hydrogen fluorine gas as a by-product of that incineration.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing 
to the House Committee on Armed Services by November 1, 2019, 
on the Department's understanding of best practices for the 
cleanup and disposal of PFOS- and PFOA-contaminated soils, and 
disposal of spent filters and Aqueous Film Forming Foam. The 
briefing should include a discussion of current research on 
these chemicals being conducted by the Strategic Environmental 
Research and Development Program or Environmental Security 
Technology Certification Program and what areas require 
additional research.

        Chase Aircraft at NASA Armstrong Flight Research Center

    The Committee is increasingly concerned about the 
availability of chase aircraft at NASA Armstrong Flight 
Research Center, which provides total flight safety during 
developmental and operational tests of various experimental 
aircraft, to include the new generation of highly maneuverable 
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV). As a regular provider of direct 
support to Air Force and Navy test missions, the Committee 
believes the Center is critical to helping the U.S. military 
maintain its technological superiority. The Committee 
understands the Navy is unable to provide F/A-18F models to the 
Center due to fleet requirements, but remains concerned that 
without replacement chase planes, the Center will lose all 
capability to support the high transonic and supersonic 
research required by the majority of current and projected 
Department of Defense projects dedicated to maintaining 
national security. Accordingly, the Committee directs the 
Secretary of the Navy to submit a report to the House Committee 
on Armed Services, not later than 90 days after enactment of 
this Act, on the feasibility of transferring two low-time 
serviceable F/A-18, either D, E, or F models, to the NASA 
Armstrong Flight Research Center that do not jeopardize the 
operational needs of the Navy, nor are reaching the end of 
their useful life based on logistics supportability criteria 
and flying hours. The report should include:
    (1) The feasibility of transferring two F/A-18 aircraft to 
NASA;
    (2) The proposed timeline for delivery;
    (3) The minimum number of remaining flight :hours of each 
aircraft to be transferred and their sustainability 
requirements; and,
    (4) The radar capabilities, centerline and wing station 
stores management system, and advanced targeting forward 
looking infrared equipment of such aircraft.

               Climate Impacts on Installation Resiliency

    The committee notes that section 335 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-
91) required the Department of Defense to report on the impacts 
of climate change to the Department. The committee notes that 
this report was spurred by multiple statements by senior 
Department of Defense officials characterizing climate as a 
national security issue that would increase instability around 
the world. The committee further notes that the report was 
focused on facilitating effective preparation and planning to 
enhance military installation climate resiliency. To that end, 
the Department was required to submit a report that included 
the following:
    (1) a list of the 10 most vulnerable military installations 
within each service based on the effects of sea-level rise, 
flooding, drought, desertification, wildfires, and thawing 
permafrost;
    (2) an overview of the mitigations that may be necessary to 
increase installation resiliency; and
    (3) an estimate of the cost of these mitigations.
    The committee notes that in January 2019, the Department 
submitted the report. While the committee commends the 
Department for unequivocally stating that the majority of its 
installations assessed in the report are vulnerable to climate 
and weather impacts, the committee is disappointed that the 
Department failed to adequately respond to the three 
requirements above. The deficiencies of this report are 
particularly acute in light of the extreme weather events that 
caused billions of dollars in damage to military installations 
in 2018. The committee notes that data suggests that new and 
renovated buildings that included extreme weather mitigation 
measures generally fared better during Hurricanes Florence and 
Michael, providing an unfortunate real-world illustration of 
the benefits of planning for military installation climate 
resiliency. These events have also provided data from which 
services can extrapolate an estimated cost for mitigation and 
create more accurate methodologies for setting facility 
standards.
    To that end, the committee directs the Secretaries of the 
military departments each to provide a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by December 1, 2020, that shall 
include the following:
    (1) the total plant replacement value of each installation 
in the service's inventory;
    (2) the plant replacement value of buildings in the 100-
year floodplain that have not been mitigated to address flood 
risk, by installation and State;
    (3) the plant replacement value of buildings with roofs 
that do not meet current building codes listed by installation 
and State;
    (4) the plant replacement value of buildings in coastal and 
hurricane-prone areas that are currently in a poor or failing 
condition, listed by installation and State;
    (5) a description of how the extreme weather events of 2018 
have impacted the decision to continue to defer facility 
sustainment projects;
    (6) if the service's methodology has changed, a description 
of how it has changed; and
    (7) any additional investment as a percentage of plant 
replacement value that would be required to adequately address 
climate resiliency. If the Department has failed to meet the 
industry standard for investment in facilities of 2 percent of 
plant replacement value, the calculation shall include both the 
investment to achieve the industry standard, and any additional 
that would be required to address climate resiliency.

                   Defense Personal Property Program

    The committee is aware that many military families have 
experienced poor service in the movement of their household 
goods during recent moving seasons. The movement of military 
families is a complex system, administered by U.S. 
Transportation Command (TRANSCOM) in coordination with the 
military services. The committee believes the Department of 
Defense's management of this system must improve and recognizes 
that TRANSCOM's proposed solution relies on the pending Global 
Household Goods Contract (GHC). Given the importance of the GHC 
and the large share of military moves in the domestic market, 
the committee believes that stakeholders must have adequate 
time to thoughtfully review and comment on the draft request 
for proposals (RFP). Accordingly, the committee encourages the 
commander of TRANSCOM to extend the comment period for the 
draft GHC RFP to allow at least 60 days for comments and delay 
the release of the final RFP until August 15, 2019. Finally, 
the committee directs the Secretaries of the military 
departments to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by December 1, 2019, on the Secretaries' plans to 
improve installation-level relocation services to military 
families.

  Feasibility of Using Non-Fluorinated Fire Fighting Foam in Training

    The committee is aware of the adverse health impacts 
related to perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoic acid 
and believes the Department of Defense should minimize the use 
of these chemicals wherever possible. While the committee 
understands that certain emergency situations may still require 
use of these foams, the committee is concerned about the 
continued use of fluorinated firefighting foams for non-
emergency purposes such as training. The committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the House Committee 
on Armed Services by February 1, 2020, on the feasibility of 
using non-fluorinated foam for firefighter training. The report 
shall include cost estimates related to instituting the use of 
fluorine-free foams for training.

  Health Impact to Service Members from Live-Fire Small Arms Training 
                                 Ranges

    The committee remains concerned that short- and long-term 
health impacts to service members are not adequately assessed 
when the Department of Defense considers technologies that 
would mitigate operational safety, environmental, and health 
concerns on live-fire small arms training ranges. These hazards 
include bullet ricochets, toxins from bullets and projectiles 
leeching into the natural water system, and hearing loss from 
excessive noise.
    The committee remains concerned that the Department of 
Defense focuses too heavily on initial investment costs, which 
fails to recognize the long-term health impact to service 
members. The committee urges the Secretary of Defense and the 
Secretaries of the military departments to consider the 
totality of human, environmental, and equipment costs when 
assessing the best technologies available to mitigate 
environmental impacts and health impacts generated at live-fire 
small arms training ranges.

                   Information Processing Efficiency

    The committee observes that the Department of Defense is 
inconsistent in application of modern web-based tools and urges 
all departmental organizations to migrate to more user-friendly 
systems. For that reason, the committee supports the Defense 
Logistics Agency (DLA) efforts to modernize its internal and 
external digital services. The committee believes the 
modernization effort with regard to forms and workflow will 
enable the DLA to improve its service and internal workflows. 
Therefore, the committee encourages the Department of Defense 
to expand this program, focusing on those requirements that 
have the most significant impact on mission enhancement and 
that most effectively modernize Department of Defense services. 
This effort should include modernizing forms, an overlooked 
ubiquitous inefficiency in information processing.

             Kirtland Air Force Base Fuel Spill Remediation

    The committee is aware of the efforts of the Air Force to 
clean up the extensive, years-long fuel spill at Kirtland Air 
Force Base, New Mexico, but the committee is concerned that the 
Air Force has not adequately engaged with local stakeholders on 
their plans and progress for remediation of the spill. 
Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by December 1, 2019, on the environmental remediation 
of the fuel spill at Kirtland Air Force Base. The report shall 
contain a section on the progress made to remediate 
contaminated soil and groundwater, and detail the Air Force 
plans for fiscal year 2020 remediation actions. In addition, 
the report shall contain an engagement plan for coordination 
with the local water utility authority, applicable State 
environmental agencies, and surrounding communities on Air 
Force remediation activities.

               Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP)

    The committee notes that in 2014, DOD established goals to 
implement Interim Risk Management (IRM) at Formerly Used 
Defense Sites (FUDS) Military Munitions Response Program (MMRP) 
sites but the program has struggled to reach its goals. The 
committee further notes that the management challenges facing 
MMRP have been longstanding dating back to at least 2010, when 
the Government Accountability Office (GAO) issued a report 
which found that the Department had not established clear 
criteria for prioritizing its work or established clear 
performance goals for work done at FUDS. Most concerning, the 
GAO expressed concern about DOD recording sites as ``complete'' 
in cases where the Department took no action at the site, which 
could be misleading to the Committee and the public. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Comptroller General to conduct a 
review and provide a report to the House Armed Services 
Committee by June 1, 2020 that examines the following:
    (1) the management of the MMRP program including its 
staffing arid funding levels,
    (2) progress DOD has made in cleaning up munitions response 
sites,
    (3) resources allocation across MMRP sites in the last 5 
years;
    (4) program priorities for the next five years, and
    (5) MMRP protocols for communicating with stakeholders and 
the public.

             National Guard Unit Equipped Flying Squadrons

    The committee recognizes that the Air National Guard 
enterprise is based on established Capstone Principles that 
notionally set the foundational framework for mission 
allocation in the 54 states and territories. One of those 
Capstone Principles is to allocate at least one unit-equipped 
wing and flying squadron to each state. New Mexico is one of 
three states--New Mexico, Virginia, and Washington--that have 
an operational flying mission, but due to the classic associate 
construct they lack ownership of aircraft. The committee 
therefore directs the Secretary of the Air Force, in 
consultation with the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, to 
report back to the committee by December 15, 2019 to present 
additional options for achieving an operational flying mission 
in each state.

           Reducing Costs Associated with Single-use Plastics

    The Committee notes the growing costs associated with the 
recycling and disposal of single-use plastics, and particularly 
single-use plastic water bottles. The Committee directs the 
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Sustainment to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by February 
1, 2020, on efforts and opportunities to reduce expenditures 
on, and waste from, single-use plastics, with a focus on 
single-use plastic water bottles. The briefing should address--
    (1) Costs associated with the procurement and disposal of 
single-use plastics;
    (2) Current and planned efforts to reduce procurement and 
disposal of single-use plastics, and estimated cost and waste 
savings from such efforts, to include any public information 
campaigns; and
    (3) Additional opportunities to avoid costs and waste from 
single-use plastics, and estimated cost and waste savings from 
such efforts.

             Removal of Unexploded Ordnance on Tribal Lands

    The committee is concerned that unexploded ordnance 
endangers Indian Reservations. There are millions of acres of 
land previously used by Department of Defense that still 
contain unexploded ordnance. In many cases, these lands are on 
current Indian Reservations. Accordingly, the committee directs 
the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by February 1, 2020, on the state 
of unexploded ordnance on Indian Reservations, including:
    (1) a catalogue of lands on Indian Reservations which 
contain unexploded ordnance,
    (2) historical and current efforts to remove unexploded 
ordnance from these lands,
    (3) the estimated cost of finishing the removal of 
unexploded ordnance from Indian Reservations, and
    (4) the feasibility of entering into agreements with non-
government entities through the Indian Incentive Program 
through the Department of Defense to remove unexploded ordnance 
on Indian Reservations.

    Report on Fiscal Impacts of Intergovernmental Service Agreements

    The committee is aware that many military instillations 
have entered into Intergovernmental Service Agreements (IGSA). 
These IGSAs allow the Department of Defense and State or Local 
Governments to provide, receive, or share installation support 
services. The committee is also aware that many of these ISGAs 
have resulted in millions of dollars in cost savings to DoD. 
The savings realized by these agreements are not returned to 
the installation that has used them to reduce costs. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Service by December 31, 
2019, on the actual cost savings realized by IGSAs, the 
feasibility of returning a portion of the savings realized from 
IGSAs back to the installations, and the overall fiscal impact 
to the services of IGSAs.

      Report on Phytoremediation to Clear Heavy Metal Contaminants

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
report to Congress before May 1, 2020 on the use of plants that 
have hyperaccumulatory and phytoremediation capabilities to 
clear contaminants from or related to heavy metal 
contamination, including but not limited to arsenic, lead, 
mercury, copper, chromium, and nickel, and other related toxic 
areas, including for contaminants in soil, water, and air.

Report on the Feasibility and Cost of Net-Zero Greenhouse Emissions and 
              Implementing H. Res. 109, the Green New Deal

    The Committee acknowledges that renewable energy sources 
only account for approximately 17 percent of domestic energy 
production, with wind accounting for less than 7 percent and 
solar accounting for less than 2 percent. The Committee also 
notes the Green New Deal, H. Res. 109 in 116th Congress, 
purports to require the United States to achieve net-zero 
greenhouse gas emissions through a ten-year national 
mobilization. Some who support this course of action, namely 
the Green Party, recommend achieving the goals of the Green New 
Deal by cutting the military budget in half, returning all 
members of the Armed Forces who are deployed or stationed 
overseas to the United States, and closing all of the more than 
800 United States military installations around the world. The 
Committee believes implementing the Green New Deal would be 
devastating to the military readiness of the United States and 
the ability of the Government of the United States to protect 
the homeland.
    The Committee affirms energy security and diversity are 
vital to national security, and that it is in the Nation's best 
interest for the Department of Defense to maximize the use of 
renewable energy sources, and that an effort to achieve net-
zero greenhouse gas emissions would have a negative effect on 
the preparedness of the Armed Forces.
    The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
report to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
the House of Representatives within 180 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act which provides the following: an 
assessment of the technical feasibility of the Department of 
Defense achieving net-zero greenhouse emissions by the date 
that is ten years after the date of the enactment of this Act; 
the cost of the Department of Defense achieving net-zero 
greenhouse emissions by the date that is ten years after the 
date of the enactment of this Act; an assessment of the effects 
the effort to achieve net-zero greenhouse emissions by the date 
that is ten years after the date of the enactment of this Act 
would have on the requirements for major service acquisition 
programs an assessment of the ability of the Department to 
implement the national defense strategy if required to achieve 
net-zero greenhouse emissions by the date that is ten years 
after the date of the enactment of this Act; how the 
implementation of the proposed Green New Deal would affect 
military readiness; the cost of closing all of the more than 
800 overseas military installations; and how complying with the 
Green New Deal would affect the current threat environment and 
the ability of the Department of Defense to protect the 
homeland.

 Survey to Locate and Identify the Remains of Native American Children 
                      Buried at Carlisle Barracks

    The committee commends the Department of the Army for its 
work to identify, exhume, and return to their respective 
families the remains of Native American children buried at 
Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. However, the committee notes 
that given the tragic legacy of Carlisle Indian Industrial 
School, more work is required. Accordingly, the committee 
directs the Secretary of the Army to provide a report to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by January 1, 2020, that 
provides a plan for conducting a comprehensive survey of the 
land at Carlisle Barracks for remains of Native American 
children and the repatriation of those children. The report 
shall include at a minimum information on how the Department 
can achieve the following:
    (1) conducting a comprehensive survey of the cemetery and 
surrounding land at Carlisle Barracks to identify the number of 
whole sets of remains; the number of partial sets of remains; 
the location of the remains, including how the sets of remains 
match with existing headstones; and groups of remains 
containing two or more individuals;
    (2) establishing a process to facilitate coordination with 
other relevant Federal agencies and tribes to ensure that the 
survey, exhumation, identification of remains and repatriation 
of remains, as appropriate and desired, to the family is 
handled in a culturally appropriate manner;
    (3) establishing a process to work with tribes to determine 
the appropriate measures to be taken for remains of children 
whose family or relatives have not been found, including 
options for repatriating those remains to the appropriate 
tribe;
    (4) establishing a process to work with tribes to determine 
what, if any, actions should be taken for remains that are 
unidentifiable; and
    (5) working with tribes and relevant Federal agencies to 
establish other actions that can be taken to recognize the 
tragic history of the Carlisle Indian Industrial School at 
Carlisle Barracks.

               Tijuana Sewage Runoff Impact to Readiness

    The committee notes that sewage runoff from Tijuana can 
cause unhealthy conditions off the coast of southern California 
whose waters are routinely used for military training. When 
scheduled training corresponds with sewage spills or 
discharges, military personnel may be exposed to untreated 
sewage with consequences to their health. Accordingly, the 
committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by February 
1, 2020, on the readiness impacts of Tijuana sewage runoff in 
waters adjacent to military installations. The briefing shall 
address whether spills, discharges, and debris in the Tijuana 
River have any impact on the national security interests of the 
United States. The briefing must also address what steps should 
be taken to resolve or mitigate the impacts from these 
releases. Further, the Secretary of the Navy shall make every 
effort to coordinate the briefing with the Department of State, 
the Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Homeland 
Security (to include U.S. Customs and Border Patrol and the 
U.S. Coast Guard), the International Boundary and Water 
Commission, the Department of the Interior, San Diego County, 
and the San Diego Association of Governments.

      Water Security under Sustainable Groundwater Management Act

    The committee notes that the State of California enacted 
the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) in 2014. This 
California law requires communities whose groundwater resources 
are challenged to prepare and provide a Groundwater 
Sustainability Plan (GSP) by January 2020, for basins defined 
as medium- or high-priority. Under the law, medium- and high-
priority basins must be managed consistently with their 
sustainable yield by 2040, though an extension is possible. The 
committee notes that three Navy installations are located in 
high-priority basins and that one Navy and three Air Force 
installations are located in medium-priority basins. These 
seven Department of Defense installations must work with their 
local communities in developing sustainable groundwater plans 
for their respective basins. The committee is concerned that 
the Department does not have a coordinated approach to meeting 
these new water sustainability requirements.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
October 1, 2019, that provides the Department's plan to address 
its response to the requirements of SGMA; a description of how 
the Navy and Air Force bases in California are working with 
local communities to achieve compliance with this law in a 
manner that does not impact the installation missions; the 
Department of Defense, Navy, and Air Force offices responsible 
for ensuring compliance; and the estimated cost of complying 
with the SGMA.

                   Water Usage Related to Landscaping

    The committee understands that a significant percentage of 
the Department of Defense's water usage on installations goes 
to landscaping. Particularly in water constrained or arid 
environments, the Department should endeavor to mitigate its 
water use through practices such as use of non-potable or 
recycled water, use of native or drought-resistant plants, and 
ground cover substitutes. The committee further notes that 
sustainable landscaping practices can provide significant cost 
avoidance through diminished water consumption.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 1, 2020, on sustainable landscaping practices currently 
in use, practices that can be implemented to cut water 
consumption, a list of installations where 30 percent or more 
of water usage is for landscaping, and a plan for decreasing 
the percentage of water used for landscaping at these 
installations and other installations in water constrained 
geographical locations.

    The committee is aware the Army will not meet the Active 
end strength of 487,500 required by section 402 of the John S. 
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 
(Public Law 115-232) and is expected to attain an end strength 
of only 478,000, 9,500 less than required. The President's 
budget request for the Army Active end strength for fiscal year 
2020 is 480,000. This is 7,500 below the Public Law 115-232 
requirement. The committee notes that although the Army 
recently determined it could only increase the Active end 
strength by 2,000 per year, Army leadership has stated that, 
based on requirements, the Army intends to grow to 
approximately 500,000 soldiers.

 Section 402--Revisions in Permanent Active Duty End Strength Minimum 
                                 Levels

    This section would establish new minimum Active Duty end 
strengths for the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force as of 
September 30, 2020. The committee recommends 480,000 as the 
minimum Active Duty end strength for the Army, 340,500 as the 
minimum Active Duty end strength for the Navy, 186,200 as the 
minimum Active Duty end strength for the Marine Corps, and 
332,800 as the minimum Active Duty end strength for the Air 
Force.

              Subtitle C--Authorization of Appropriations


                    Section 421--Military Personnel

    This section would authorize appropriations for military 
personnel at the levels identified in the funding table in 
section 4401 of division D of this Act.

                   TITLE V--MILITARY PERSONNEL POLICY

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


           Appointment of Guardian ad Litem for Minor Victims

    The committee is concerned for the welfare of minor, 
military dependents who are victims of an alleged sex-related 
offense. The committee acknowledges the Department of Defense's 
continued efforts to implement services in support of service 
members who are victims of sexual assault and further, to 
expand some of these services to dependents who are victims. 
However, the committee remains concerned that there is not an 
adequate mechanism within the military court-martial process to 
represent the best interests of minor victims following an 
alleged sex-related offense.
    Therefore, not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, the Defense Advisory Committee on 
Investigation, Prosecution, and Defense of Sexual Assault in 
the Armed Forces shall submit to the Committees on the Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a 
report that evaluates the need for, and the feasibility of, 
establishing a process under which a guardian ad litem may be 
appointed to represent the interests of a victim of an alleged 
sex-related offense (as that term is defined in section 
1044e(g) of title 10, United States Code) who has not attained 
the age of 18 years.

                 Army Special Forces Officer Education

    The committee notes the that Army Special Forces Officers 
may have different Professional Military Education (PME) 
requirements than the conventional force officer, particularly 
with respect to irregular warfare. The committee is concerned 
that any reduction in opportunities to attend PME that can 
tailor the curriculum to irregular warfare could hinder the 
future development of these officers. Therefore the committee 
encourages the Secretary of the Army to continue to fund Army 
Special Forces officer attendance at the Naval Post Graduate 
School.

    Briefing on Bystander Intervention in Cases of Sexual Misconduct

    The committee acknowledges that the Department of Defense's 
annual reports on sexual assault in the military have 
consistently reported that sexual assaults are more likely to 
occur in units that have a command climate that tolerates 
sexual harassment. Further, the committee notes that 
servicemembers are less likely to intervene in situations where 
they are a bystander to sexual misconduct than in other 
situations where servicemembers are bystanders to dangerous 
behavior, including situations related to suicide and alcohol 
abuse. A 2018 National Institutes of Health (NIH) study, titled 
``Prevalence of Bystander Intervention Opportunities and 
Behaviors Among U.S. Army Soldiers,'' found that 87.9 percent 
of soldiers who witnessed an event relating to suicide and 74.4 
percent of soldiers who witnessed an event relating to alcohol 
misuse reported consistently intervening, while 49.2 percent of 
soldiers who witnessed events relating to sexual harassment or 
assault reported consistently intervening.
    The committee believes that servicemembers should be 
empowered to intervene when they witness sexual misconduct or 
retaliation for reporting this conduct. Further, the committee 
is concerned that the available data indicates that bystander 
intervention education efforts may not be effective in 
increasing the likelihood of intervention in incidents of 
sexual misconduct versus other dangerous scenarios. 
Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and of the House of Representatives not later than 
January 1, 2020 on the feasibility of establishing any legal 
requirements for bystanders that witness sexual misconduct. The 
briefing should include an analysis on the likelihood of a 
servicemember to intervene in a situation where they are a 
bystander to sexual misconduct based on age, gender, rank, 
command climate, understanding of what constitutes sexual 
misconduct, understanding of their rights, as well as the 
victim's rights, and obligations, and correlation metrics based 
on the indicators listed here.

    Briefing on Department of Defense Student Loan Repayment Program

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, on 
the use of the DoD College Loan Repayment Program (10 USC 
2171). The briefing shall include the following elements:
    (1) The number of Service members who are eligible to 
receive this benefit, by Service;
    (2) The number of Service members who have received or are 
currently receiving this benefit, by Service, over the past 5 
years;
    (3) The average length of service required in order to 
receive the benefit;
    (4) The cost to the Department of Defense, by service, of 
providing this benefit for the past 5 years;
    (5) The overall impact the benefit has on recruitment and 
retention of highly qualified individuals.

                Cell Phone Use in Correction Facilities

    The committee is aware of the potential use of contraband 
cellular phones and devices in corrections facilities, 
including in military corrections institutions. The committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services no later than January 1, 2020 
on the use of contraband cellular devices in military prisons, 
an evaluation of the use of managed access technology to detect 
and prevent such use, and the military facilities which would 
benefit from the deployment of such technology.

            Comptroller General Report on Domestic Violence

    The committee is concerned about the Department of Defense 
and military services' domestic violence response and 
prevention programs. The committee notes that Department of 
Defense Instruction 6400.06 ``Domestic Abuse Involving DoD 
Military and Certain Affiliated Personnel'' clearly establishes 
detailed procedures for responding to domestic violence and 
directs the military departments to establish policies and 
programs to implement the instruction. The committee 
understands there are variances in response and prevention 
programs based on military service guidance and local 
jurisdictions, but is concerned by the April 19, 2019, 
Department of Defense Inspector General Report ``Evaluation of 
Military Services Law Enforcement Responses to Domestic 
Violence'' findings that military service law enforcement 
organizations did not consistently comply with Department of 
Defense policies.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to provide preliminary observations to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives by February 1, 2020, with a report to follow by 
an agreed upon time, on the military services' efforts to 
prevent and respond to domestic violence. The report should 
address the following elements:
    (1) the extent to which each military service policy 
conforms to the Department of Defense Instruction;
    (2) the actions service secretaries took to address the 
Department of Defense Inspector General recommendations;
    (3) the extent to which the military services are meeting 
training requirements listed in Department of Defense 
Instruction 6400.06, the objectives of those training 
requirements, and whether the training is effective to meet 
those objectives;
    (4) the extent to which each military service has 
established memorandums of understanding with local law 
enforcement and jurisdictions to enhance the coordinated 
community response to domestic violence;
    (5) the extent to which commanders have played a role in 
the coordinated community response to domestic abuse consistent 
with Department of Defense Instruction 6400.06;
    (6) an assessment of how the military services respond to 
domestic violence from initial reports to military law 
enforcement through final adjudication, to include victim 
assistance and early intervention; and
    (7) any recommendations the Comptroller General may have 
with respect to implementation of the military services' 
domestic violence prevention and response programs.

                  Comptroller General Report on Hazing

    The committee is concerned about the results of the 
Department of Defense 2018 Annual Summary Report on Hazing 
Prevention and Response in the Armed Forces. The committee 
notes the disparity in the number of incidents and reports 
between the services. Of the 291 reported complaints of hazing, 
256 complaints were from the Marine Corps. This disparity in 
the number of complaints was similar to the results of the 2017 
report with a total of 415 complaints, 314 of those from the 
Marine Corps. The committee is aware the Department issued 
Department of Defense Instruction 1020.03, Harassment 
Prevention and Response in the Armed Forces, on February 8, 
2018, and the military services are updating their policies to 
align with the Department's changes. However, the committee is 
concerned there is not a consistent emphasis across the 
services with respect to hazing. Further, the committee notes 
that in the Government Accountability Office (GAO) report ``DOD 
and Coast Guard: Actions Needed to Increase Oversight and 
Management Information on Hazing Incidents Involving Service 
members'' (GAO-16-226), GAO found that the Department had not 
conducted oversight through regular monitoring of policy 
implementation and recommended that the Department of Defense 
do so.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to provide preliminary observations to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives by February 1, 2020, on the status of the 
military services' efforts to prevent and respond to hazing 
with a report to follow on an agreed upon date. The report 
should address the following elements:
    (1) the extent to which each military service's policy and 
definition of hazing conforms to the Department of Defense 
Instruction;
    (2) the extent to which each military service provides 
harassment prevention and response training using best 
practices with a targeted approach to the demographics the 
report indicates are involved with hazing;
    (3) the extent to which the military services are meeting 
the standardized data reporting requirements;
    (4) the extent to which each military service's specific 
implementation meets the requirements of Department of Defense 
Instruction 1020.03; and
    (5) any recommendations the Comptroller General may have 
with respect to implementation of the military services' hazing 
prevention and response programs.

   Comptroller General Study on Military Adoptive and Foster Families

    The committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to conduct a study on the challenges faced by military 
adoptive and foster families and the support services available 
to help address these challenges and promote permanency. The 
Comptroller General shall submit a report on the study not 
later than 18 months from the date of enactment to the 
Congressional defense committees. The study shall include the 
following elements:
    (1) Describe what is known about the number of military 
foster and adoptive families and permanency of placements;
    (2) Describe challenges faced by military families related 
to fostering and adopting, including any effects these 
challenges have on the youth and families;
    (3) Describe mental health and other support services 
available to military foster and adoptive families, including 
services provided by Military and Family Support Centers and 
Military and Family Life Counselors, and whether such services 
and providers are foster- and adoption-competent; and
    (4) Identify any actions federal agencies can take to 
better prepare and support military foster and adoptive 
families, promote the permanency of placements, and reduce 
barriers, such as improving pre- and post-foster and adoption 
mental health and other support services for youth and 
families.

                     Cultural Sensitivity Training

    The committee recognizes the Department of Defense and the 
military services have multiple cultural sensitivity training 
programs for military personnel. The committee also believes in 
the importance of protecting servicemembers' rights regarding 
religious exercise and ethnic heritage. As such, the committee 
supports efforts to identify resource and personnel gaps that 
may exist in the Office of Diversity Management and Equal 
Opportunity of the Department of Defense as well as efforts to 
identify existing gaps in protections for new and prospective 
servicemembers.

      Implementation of the Women, Peace and Security Act of 2017

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, through 
implementation of the Women, Peace, and Security Act of 2017 
(Public Law 115-68), to ensure gender advisor support, building 
partner capacity activities, and research on gender 
considerations across the conflict spectrum is addressed in 
professional military education.

            Inspector General Whistleblower Improvement Plan

    The committee remains concerned about the ability of the 
Department of Defense and the military service Inspectors 
General (IG) to meet timeliness goals for handling 
whistleblower complaints. Responding promptly and thoroughly is 
essential to instilling trust and confidence in the system. The 
Government Accountability Office (GAO) report ``Whistleblower 
Protection, Analysis of DOD's Actions to Improve Case 
Timeliness and Safeguard Confidentiality'' (GAO-19-198) found 
that Department of Defense and military service Inspectors 
General met some, but not all, of the timelines and quality 
goals. The GAO made 12 recommendations to the Department of 
Defense Inspector General and the military service IGs with 
concurrence by all organizations for all recommendations. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a report to the Committees on Armed Services of the 
Senate and the House of Representatives by December 2, 2019, 
detailing the implementation of the 12 GAO recommendations. The 
Secretary's report shall also include actions taken by the 
Secretary to improve the timeliness of completing whistleblower 
complaints, as well as efforts to protect the confidentiality 
of the complainant.

           Marine Corps Integration of Recruit Basic Training

    The committee notes the United States Marine Corps 
graduated its first-ever mixed-gender company from recruit 
training at Parris Island, South Carolina, in March 2019. 
Although the Marine Corps has combined over 90 percent of 
training, they have not fully integrated basic recruit 
training. The report required by the committee report 
accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2018 (H. Rept. 115-200) clearly identified the steps 
needed to fully integrate basic training, including identifying 
military construction costs associated with additional 
barracks. The report also emphasized the platoon as the 
building block for transforming recruits into the United States 
Marine Corps. Therefore, the committee encourages the 
Commandant of the Marine Corps to develop a plan to achieve 
fully integrated basic recruit training at the platoon level 
within 5 years.

                     Measure Officer Accountability

    The committee acknowledges the Department of Defense's 
efforts to address low and stagnant reporting rates for sexual 
assault and sexual harassment in the U.S. military. The 
committee also acknowledges commanders' responsibilities to 
cultivate positive and safe command climates and maintain trust 
from junior and mid-level service members. The committee is 
aware that fear of retaliation is consistently cited as a 
contributing factor to the underreporting of sexual assault and 
sexual harassment crimes across military installations. The 
committee is also aware that measures are currently in place to 
enable victims of sexual assault and sexual harassment to 
formally report perceived instances of retaliation to their 
respective commanders, law enforcement, special victims' 
counsel, and Sexual Assault Response Coordinators. The 
committee is concerned that, despite the aforementioned 
safeguards, perceived instances of retaliation remain high.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Department of Defense 
Inspector General to submit a report to the Committees on Armed 
Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives not 
later than March 1, 2020, containing data from fiscal year 2018 
on the following:
    (1) the total number of substantiated cases of ostracism;
    (2) the total number of substantiated cases of 
maltreatment;
    (3) the total number of substantiated cases of retaliation 
that would meet the elements of Article 132 of the Uniform Code 
of Military Justice;
    (4) the total number of commanders, across military 
services, who have been formally accused of mishandling reports 
of sexual harassment and sexual assault;
    (5) the total number of commanders, across military 
services, who have been formally reprimanded for mishandling 
reports of sexual harassment and sexual assault and what, if 
any, related disciplinary action was taken;
    (6) the total number of commanders, across military 
services, who have been formally accused of mishandling reports 
of victim retaliation related to sexual harassment and sexual 
assault;
    (7) the total number of commanders, across military 
services, who have been formally reprimanded for mishandling 
reports of victim retaliation related to sexual harassment and 
sexual assault and what, if any, related disciplinary action 
was taken; and
    (8) the total number of commanders, across military 
services, who have received negative command climate reports 
related to sexual harassment, sexual assault, and gender 
discrimination.

 Prioritization of Sexual Assault and Sexual Harassment Prevention and 
                           Response Resources

    The committee acknowledges the Department of Defense's 
continued efforts to adequately respond to and prevent 
instances of sexual assault and sexual harassment in the United 
States military. However, the committee remains concerned about 
the growing rates and underreporting of sexual assault and 
sexual harassment across all military services. The committee 
is aware that in 2014, the Sexual Assault Prevention and 
Response Office, in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, 
selected the RAND Corporation to conduct an independent study 
evaluating sexual assault, sexual harassment, and gender 
discrimination across the United States military. The committee 
is also aware that the study focused on the prevalence of 
sexual assault and sexual harassment at specific U.S. military 
installations and commands, for the purpose of identifying 
additional resources, educating leaders on command climate 
issues, and gaining a better understanding of environmental and 
organizational risk factors. Based on the results of the study, 
military installations were labeled ``high-risk'' and ``low-
risk'' according to the number of individuals who were sexually 
assaulted or sexually harassed at the respective facilities.
    Therefore, the committee encourages the Secretary of 
Defense and the military service secretaries to prioritize 
funding for sexual assault and sexual harassment response and 
prevention programs and training to military installations that 
have been identified as ``high-risk,'' based on the results of 
the 2014 RAND Corporation study. The committee recommends the 
Secretary of Defense and the service secretaries conduct 
further analysis to identify the environmental and 
organizational features of ``high-risk'' installations in order 
to effectively tailor response and prevention efforts.

      Report on Access to Court Filings and Materials for Victims

    The committee remains concerned that, under the current 
military justice procedure, prosecutors and military courts 
apply different and inconsistent approaches with respect to 
military sexual assault victims' access to court filings and 
nonprivileged information derived directly from and pertaining 
directly to the victim. The committee is also concerned that 
recent changes in military law addressing access to court 
filings and investigation information have not resulted in 
timely, consistent and widespread access to relevant 
information for victims. The committee recognizes that victims 
benefit from access to pre-trial investigation materials that 
directly relate to them because it allows them and their 
counsel to prepare for trial. Therefore, the committee directs 
the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the Committee on 
Armed Services of the House of Representatives by March 1, 
2020, addressing the following questions with regards to 
establishing a clear standard through law for victims and 
victims' counsel to have access to all nonprivileged court 
filings and related materials derived directly from and 
pertaining directly to the victim:
    (1) Does such a standard impact victims' privacy and make 
it harder to gain a conviction? If so, how, and what mitigating 
measures can be put into place?
    (2) Does such a standard impact the ability to execute and 
conclude a fair trial? If so, how, and what mitigating measures 
can be put into place?
    (3) What types of filings and materials would be covered 
under such a standard?
    (4) How does access to all nonprivileged court filings and 
related materials derived directly from and pertaining directly 
to the victim impact the case for the prosecution and defense?
    (5) Can the victim receive adequate legal representation 
and protection of his or her rights without access to all 
nonprivileged court filings and related materials derived 
directly from and pertaining directly to the victim?

              Report on Air National Guard Control Grades

    The committee recognizes the challenges the Air National 
Guard (ANG) faces in recruiting and retaining qualified airmen 
for full-time positions due to the statutory control grade cap. 
To alleviate this limitation, the John S. McCain National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-
232) increased the control grade cap for O-4 through O-6, E-8s, 
and E-9s. While units across the country felt the positive 
impact of this cap increase, they continue to face personnel 
challenges. With the current numbers and distribution, there 
are fewer control grades than the unit manning document 
positions. Therefore, organizations are unable to place service 
members of the correct rank into the corresponding positions. 
The committee directs the Director of the Air National Guard to 
perform a by-unit audit to determine the true number of control 
grade deficiencies and necessary increases and provide a report 
to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than June 1, 
2020, with audit results.

    Report on Army Active Component Support of the Reserve Component

    The Committee notes that efforts to achieve Army active and 
reserve component integration have made significant progress. 
However, both Congressionally mandated and Department of 
Defense-led efforts to provide active component support for 
Army reserve components have failed. Uniformed full-time 
personnel assigned to Army reserve component units should bring 
relevant, operational experience from the active component and 
return to the active force with a greater understanding of the 
reserve component. The current Army Active Guard and Reserve 
(AGR) program does not integrate components at the unit level 
and does not capitalize on the potential benefits of personnel 
exchange. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the 
Army to report to the House Armed Services Committee no later 
than January 1, 2020 on the current force structure of AGR 
personnel, the impact of increased active component support to 
the reserve component, ways to incentivize active service in 
the reserve components, and any recommended changes to the 
Active Guard and Reserve (AGR) program.

    Report on Cyber Education Integration in Professional Military 
                               Education

    The committee remains concerned about the Department of 
Defense's ongoing efforts to integrate cyber domain education 
into officer, warrant officer, and non-commissioned officer 
professional military education. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives, 
not later than March 1, 2020, on the Department's efforts to 
integrate cyber domain education in professional military 
education courses to further the understanding of the cyber 
domain among senior leaders. The briefing will also include an 
assessment of efforts to recruit and develop career tracks with 
promotion potential for cyber professionals.

   Report on Implementation of Transition Assistance Program Content

    The committee remains interested in the effective and 
efficient transition of service members to civilian life and 
the programs in place to assist in this transition. Section 552 
of the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) required a comprehensive 
reform of the Department of Defense Transition Assistance 
Program. The committee therefore directs the Secretary of 
Defense to submit a report to the Committee on Armed Services 
of the House of Representatives, not later than April 1, 2020, 
containing the plan for implementation of reforms to the 
Transition Assistance Program directed by section 552 of Public 
Law 115-232. The report shall also include:
    (1) an analysis of how many service members each year, 
since the beginning of fiscal year 2015, have met the Career 
Readiness Standards (CRS) at least 90 days before separation.
    (2) how many required additional assistance because the 
service member did not meet the CRS standards and/or does not 
have a viable transition plan, and how many service members 
affirmatively received this assistance.
    (3) what steps the Department will take to increase the 
number of service members that will meet CRS standards at least 
90 days before separation.
    (4) what organizations are receiving the service members in 
a ``warm handover'' and how many are handed over to each.
    (5) a status update on the establishment of the pathways 
for individualized counseling, including a description of each 
of the pathways and their objective.

     Report on Integration of Women into Previously Closed Special 
      Operations Forces Career Fields and the 75th Ranger Regiment

    On January 13, 2016, U.S. Special Operations Command 
(SOCOM) Commander Joseph Votel issued a memo entitled ``US 
Special Operations Command Implementation Plan for the 
Integration of Women.'' This memo detailed SOCOM's plan for the 
integration of women into the 75th Ranger Regiment and the 
eight special operations career fields previously closed to 
women, in accordance with former Secretary of Defense Ash 
Carter's decision to fully integrate women in the Armed Forces. 
The committee understands that the four lines of effort 
outlined in the SOCOM implementation plan, including Accession, 
Talent Management, Communication, and the Longitudinal 
Implementation Plan Assessment, remain in effect. However, the 
committee has yet to receive substantive information regarding 
the efforts relating to and progress towards integration of 
women into previously closed special operations career fields 
and the 75th Ranger Regiment.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Commander of SOCOM to 
submit a report to the congressional defense committees not 
later than January 31, 2020, detailing efforts relating to and 
progress towards integration of women into the eight previously 
closed special operations career fields and the 75th Ranger 
Regiment since the issuance of the memorandum. The report shall 
include, but not be limited to, a description of efforts by 
SOCOM and its service component commands to recruit qualified 
female candidates; the number of qualified female candidates, 
by component command, that were selected to participate in 
initial selection, assessment, and qualification programs since 
2016; the number of female candidates, by component command, 
that qualified for subsequent phases of training; the number of 
females in operational units; a description of the status of 
the four lines of effort; and any other matters the Commander 
of SOCOM deems relevant.

  Report on Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps Community Service

    The committee notes that the purpose of the Junior Reserve 
Officers' Training Corps (JROTC) program is to instill in 
students in U.S. secondary educational institutions the values 
of citizenship, service to the United States, personal 
responsibility, and a sense of accomplishment. The committee 
believes that community service of all types supports and 
enhances this purpose. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the Committee on 
Armed Services of the House of Representatives by March 1, 
2020, on the feasibility and advisability of a community 
service requirement as part of the JROTC program in order for a 
unit to earn an ``Honor Unit with Distinction'' designation.

           Report on Passport Guidance for Emergency Contacts

    The committee notes that families of service members 
deployed outside the continental United States often may not 
have a valid passport for overseas travel in the event the 
service member has a medical emergency and a family member's 
presence is needed. While the services have policies in place 
for obtaining short-notice passports, the committee is 
concerned that information on these procedures is not being 
adequately disseminated to unit commanders and service casualty 
offices. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to provide a report not later than April 1, 2020, 
addressing the following questions:
    (1) what information is provided to service members' 
families prior to deployment regarding family travel policies?
    (2) how are the instructions for obtaining a short-notice 
passport relayed to unit commanders and the service casualty 
office?
    (3) what improvements can be made to the passport process?
    (4) how can the Department of Defense and the services 
improve their dissemination of information related to emergency 
travel procedures for families of overseas service members?

   Report on Program on Enhancement of Preparation of Dependents of 
      Members of Armed Forces for Careers in Science, Technology, 
                      Engineering, and Mathematics

    The committee recognizes that military base communities are 
often underserved by STEM education outreach efforts and that 
Congress created the National Defense Education Program to 
improve the effectiveness of education in STEM fields and 
maintain the United States' role as the world leader in 
technological development. As such, the committee also directs 
the Secretary of Defense to provide a report no later than 180 
days from the enactment of this act to the House Committee on 
Armed Services on how the Department may carry out a program 
under which the Secretary makes grants, on a competitive basis, 
to eligible entities to carry out STEM educational events for 
military communities across the United States.

              Report on Senior Officer Outside Employment

    The committee is interested in senior officer outside 
employment while still on Active Duty. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the 
Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives not 
later than May 1, 2020, on requests from senior officers for 
approval of outside employment. The report period will be 
inclusive of the fiscal years from 2017 through 2019 and cover 
Active Duty officers in the grade of O-6 or above. The elements 
of the report shall include:
    (1) the number of such requests made in each fiscal year;
    (2) the number of such requests approved in each fiscal 
year;
    (3) the types of positions for which senior personnel made 
such requests;
    (4) the range and average of the time commitment for such 
positions; and
    (5) any ethical lapses or abuses by senior personnel in the 
course of employment pursuant to approved requests.

        Report on the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery

    The committee notes that according to the Department of 
Defense 71 percent of Americans ages 17 to 24 are not eligible 
for military service. Approximately 24 percent of this same 
population who take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude 
Battery (ASVAB) do not receive a score that qualifies them for 
enlistment in the Armed Forces without a waiver. The committee 
believes the Department of Defense's data on the ASVAB could be 
useful in identifying the kinds of test takers who struggle to 
meet the minimum educational standards for enlistment and 
identifying the educational needs of local education agencies. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 
House of Representatives, not later than March 1, 2020, a 
report on those deemed ineligible for service due to inadequate 
test scores on the ASVAB and the impact this population has on 
recruitment and military readiness. The report shall include:
    (1) Detailed information on the most recent 10 years of 
data available for all candidates who took the ASVAB by mean 
and median Armed Forces Qualification Test (AFQT) score, 
including a breakdown by section of the test and category the 
test takers' overall scores falls into, for: (a) ethnicity; (b) 
race; (c) gender; (d) age at time of test; (e) state of 
residency at time of test; (f) county of residency at time of 
test; (g) zip code at time of test; (h) highest level of 
education attained at time of test; and (i) if available: (a) 
type of secondary educational institution attended; (b) school 
and/or school district enrolled in at time of test; (c) 
percentage of students in school district attended qualifying 
for free and reduced-priced lunch at time of test, (d) National 
Center for Education Statistics school identification number 
for secondary educational institution; (e) free and reduced-
price lunch status at time of test; (f) Individual Education 
Plan or 504 Plan status; and (g) English Language Learner 
status;
    (2) Correlation metrics between ASVAB scores and 
demographic indicators;
    (3) A list of the counties and school districts scoring in 
the bottom five percent on the ASVAB nationally over the past 
10 years;
    (4) Number of test takers deemed ineligible for service 
based on their Category V ASVAB score each year over the past 
10 years;
    (5) Number of test takers who were granted a waiver for 
enlistment who received a Category IV score each year over the 
past 10 years; and
    (6) The feasibility of sharing the information required in 
the report with the Secretary of Education to assist in 
improving the education of young American.

   Report to the Defense Committees on the National Guard's Role in 
                   Current and Future Space Strategy

    The committee recognizes that National Guardsmen and women 
across the country provide a unique skillset that accommodates 
the role of space in modern defense, and the needs of the 
overall force in the years ahead. While the National Guard has 
served and will continue to serve a role in space operations, 
the Department has yet to adequately define the role of the 
National Guard in future DoD space strategy. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, in 
consultation with the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
detailed report to the Defense Congressional Committees on the 
Guard's role in space, and the departments intentions for the 
guard in future space planning.

                  Reserve Component Duty Status Reform

    The committee notes that the Office of the Secretary of 
Defense continues to refine and coordinate legislative language 
to fulfill the requirement of section 513 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-
91) to reduce the number of statutory authorities by which 
members of the Reserve Component of the Armed Forces may be 
ordered to Active Duty. The committee continues to support the 
completion of the required legislative provision and encourages 
the Secretary of Defense to continue the necessary coordination 
with all stakeholders, to include the States' Adjutants 
General, to complete this legislative proposal for inclusion in 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021.

            Special Education Services for Military Families

    The Committee notes the purpose of the Exceptional Family 
Member Program (EFMP) is to provide comprehensive and 
coordinated community support, housing, educational, medical, 
and personnel services worldwide to U.S. military families with 
children with special needs. The Committee is concerned that 
many families participating in the EFMP program are not 
provided with consistent educational opportunities throughout 
each Permanent Change of Station (PCS) move. The Committee is 
concerned that each PCS is disruptive to the educational plans 
for the child, as the services provided to special needs 
children can vastly differ between states and school systems, 
and that each PCS is disproportionately more difficult for EFMP 
families, who may need more time to make better educational 
choices. The Committee is also concerned the Department of 
Defense and Services lack the common performance measures and 
metrics to assess assignment coordination and family support.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the Committee on Armed Services of the 
House of Representatives not later than February 1, 2020 
describing the needs of military families with children with 
special education needs and evaluating options to enhance the 
benefits available to such families and children under the 
Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. 1400 et 
seq.) in meeting such needs. The report should include 
assessing the feasibility of establishing an expedited process 
for resolution of complaints by military parents with a child 
with special education needs about a lack of access to 
education and related services otherwise specified in the 
individualized education program of the child; as well as 
assess the feasibility of allowing the Department of Defense to 
contact the State to which a military family with a child with 
special education needs will relocate pursuant to a permanent 
change of station with the orders for such change of station 
are issued, but before the family takes residence in such 
State, for the purpose of commencing preparation for education 
and related services specified in the individualized education 
program of the child.

   Standardizing Training for Sexual Assault Prevention and Response 
                             Practitioners

    The committee acknowledges the Department of Defense's 
continued efforts to ensure that sexual assault prevention and 
response training remains effective, adequate, and up-to-date. 
In response to the committee report accompanying the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (H. Rept. 115-
676), the Department submitted a report to the House Committee 
on Armed Services on the feasibility of developing and 
incorporating standardized best practices for sexual assault 
prevention and response training across services. The report 
suggests that standardized implementation is essential to 
achieving decreases in rates of sexual assault.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in consultation with the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air 
Force, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than November 1, 2019, on the Department's 
efforts to standardize sexual assault prevention training, 
across services, and to ensure that such training incorporates 
innovative training methodologies based on identified 
competencies for prevention and response practitioners.

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                     Commissaries during Shutdowns

    The committee notes that service members rely on the 
commissary for their daily need for groceries, and service 
member surveys consistently rate commissaries as one of their 
most valued benefits. If commissaries are closed during 
government shutdown, there will be an immediate pressure on in-
store inventory and the working capital funds as products begin 
to spoil and reach their expiration dates. It is important that 
the commissary remain open during government shutdowns to meet 
the needs of service members. The committee therefore urges the 
Department of Defense and the Defense Commissary Agency to keep 
the commissaries open during any government shutdown because of 
the vital need of military men and women for groceries on a 
daily basis.

  Department of Defense SkillBridge Program Applicability to Service 
                             Member Spouses

    The committee commends the Department of Defense for its 
development of the Department of Defense SkillBridge program, 
which offers training programs in the form of internships and 
apprenticeships through participating private companies for 
service members transitioning to civilian life. The committee 
remains concerned by the persistent issue of unemployment and 
underemployment of military spouses. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the 
Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives not 
later than April 1, 2020, on the feasibility and advisability 
of providing a similar program for service member spouses that 
would apply at any time during a spouse's career. The report 
shall include:
    (1) the extent to which private companies currently 
participating in SkillBridge are interested in extending 
internships and apprenticeships to service member spouses;
    (2) the extent to which the potential expansion of the 
program would affect the ability to effectively administer the 
current SkillBridge program;
    (3) the costs to the Department of Defense of administering 
such a program;
    (4) any other issues the Secretary of Defense deems 
relevant.

        Educational Opportunities for Service Member Dependents

    The committee recognizes that the quality and availability 
of educational resources at and around military installations 
can vary greatly, causing challenges for service members with 
school-aged children. Children of service members are often 
subject to local educational conditions and frequent moves can 
pose additional stresses on the continuity of learning 
standards. These challenges may impact recruitment and 
retention. The committee recognizes providing quality 
educational options is necessary for ensuring our national 
security. Therefore, the committee encourages the Department of 
Defense to fully consider the quality of education available on 
and off military installations and whether additional 
educational options should be made available at certain 
geographically isolated installations.

    Maternity Leave Parity for National Guard and Reserve Components

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense 
established policies for maternity leave in 2016, authorizing 
12 weeks fully paid maternity leave after normal pregnancy and 
childbirth. The committee further notes that such paid leave is 
not given to female services members in inactive duty status 
within the National Guard and reserve components, and that 
these service members are still required to attend unit 
training assemblies to receive military service pay and 
retirement points. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the House Committee 
on Armed Services by May 1, 2020, on the barriers, benefits, 
and feasibility of providing compensation and credit for 
retired pay to members of the National Guard and reserve 
components in inactive duty status.

 Report Assessing the Advisability of Permitting Military Personnel to 
   use Education Benefits for Nontraditional Cyber-Related Education 
                                Programs

    The committee understands that new and innovative 
educational opportunities exist for service members through 
non-traditional forms of schooling such as technology boot 
camps or massive online open courses (MOOC's). Such courses are 
particularly useful for service members in geographically 
remote areas who are hoping to continue their education. While 
the committee understands and appreciates the need for 
verification and certification of educational programs prior to 
approving government funds, such as tuition assistance, to pay 
for such programs, the committee believes that such standards 
should be mindful of the rapidly evolving nature of modern 
educational services.
    Therefore, the Secretary of Defense shall provide a 
briefing to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives no later than February 1, 2020, outlining the 
Department of Defense's procedures for determining the 
educational institutions and resources eligible for tuition 
assistance. The report should include:
    (1) Standards the educational resource or institution must 
meet for military personnel to receive assistance from DoD.
    (2) A description of the steps taken to ensure a broad 
variety of STEM-focused programs are eligible for tuition 
assistance, including non-traditional cyber-related learning 
alternatives.
    (3) Steps that have been taken to account for the changes 
in modern learning platforms.
    (4) Recommendations for expanding the educational 
opportunities available to military personnel.

 Report on Feasibility of Loan or Grant Program to Offset the Cost of 
Child Care Center Accreditation in Areas with Long Waitlists to Access 
                   On-Base Child Development Centers

    The committee notes that there is a shortage of available 
and affordable child care on military installations and that 
many military families utilize private child care options due 
to this shortage. Further, the committee notes that in order to 
use the child care stipend made available to servicemembers 
whose children have been on a wait list for on-base child care 
for an extended period of time, the private child care center 
must be accredited. Data suggests that approximately half of 
the United States has too few licensed child care options. The 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report 
to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House 
of Representatives not later than June 1, 2020 regarding the 
feasibility of the creation of a grant or loan program to 
defray the initial cost of meeting state licensure requirements 
for child care facilities in areas where there is a shortage of 
licensed child care options for military families. The report 
shall include:
    (1) An assessment of areas with the longest waitlists for 
on-base Child Development Centers;
    (2) An assessment of the availability of licensed, off-base 
child care facilities in those areas;
    (3) The feasibility of creating a grant or loan program to 
defray up to half the cost of meeting state licensure 
requirements;
    (4) Recommendations for legislative or administrative 
action as the Secretary considers appropriate in light of the 
report, including recommendations for a pilot grant or loan 
program.

                Report on TSP Default Contribution Rate

    The committee is concerned that the Department of Defense's 
default contribution rate of 3% to the Thrift Savings Plan 
(TSP) will have long term negative impacts on service 
members'--specifically junior enlisted service members''--
financial readiness and wellbeing. Civilian studies show that 
the average default automatic enrollment for civilian employer 
matching has increased in recent years to 4.6%, and that a 
contribution of at least 4% is required to achieve the same 
undiscounted lifetime income under the BRS as under the current 
system.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
report to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives not later than March 1, 2020, on the potential 
effects of automatically enrolling new service members into the 
Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) at the maximum government matching 
rate of 5% of the service member's base pay compared to the 
existing automatic enrollment of 3% of the servicemember's base 
pay. The elements of the report shall include:
    (1) The analysis and rationale for the current 3% default 
enrollment contribution.
    (2) A comparison of the estimated undiscounted lifetime 
income of an enlisted service member under the Blended 
Retirement System with a 3% matching contribution, a 5% 
matching contribution and the legacy retirement system. The 
comparison shall include analysis of different amounts of time 
in service as well as differentials between the active and 
reserve component.
    (3) A comparison of the estimated undiscounted lifetime 
income of an officer under the Blended Retirement System with a 
3% matching contribution, a 5% matching contribution and the 
legacy retirement system. The comparison shall include analysis 
of different amounts of time in service as well as 
differentials between the active and reserve component.
    (4) Analysis on enrollees who changed their contribution 
allocation from the default percentage and their rationale to 
do so.
    (5) The average TSP contribution percentage among 
servicemembers who elect to change from their default 
contribution once enrolled in the blended retirement system.
    (6) What programs or initiatives have been shown to be 
effective in increasing the percentage of servicemembers opting 
for the full 5% contribution?
    (7) Recommendations to enhance the future earnings and 
retirement savings of servicemembers.

       Review and Assessment of Transitional Compensation Program

    The committee notes the importance of all members of the 
Armed Forces and their families to feel safe and secure. The 
committee acknowledges the Department of Defense's continuous 
efforts to provide resources and programs, such as the Family 
Advocacy Program, to benefit the safety and quality of life for 
members of the Armed Forces and their families. In instances of 
domestic violence or abuse, victims should feel empowered and 
resourced to seek assistance. The committee is concerned that 
reports of domestic violence, intimate partner violence and 
sexual assault, or child abuse may go unreported by family 
members out of fear for losing access to military pay and 
allowances and benefits. The committee directs the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness to provide a 
briefing to the House Armed Services Committee not later than 
March 1, 2020, on a comprehensive review and assessment of the 
Transitional Compensation program. The report shall include the 
following:
    (1) a review of requests for Transitional Compensation;
    (2) a review of approved requests for Transitional 
Compensation;
    (3) an analysis of the discrepancies between (1) and (2);
    (4) an assessment of current Transitional Compensation as 
written in statute in Section 1059, title 10, United States 
Code, and its alignment with other legal definitions of 
domestic violence, intimate partner violence or sexual assault, 
or child abuse; and
    (5) any recommendations for modifying Transitional 
Compensation to improve supportive outcomes for victims.

              Service Member Separation Survey Methodology

    The committee is concerned that valuable military personnel 
data currently collected by the Department of Defense is not 
being effectively organized, analyzed, and applied to better 
understand service members' motivations for staying in or 
leaving the military. Data on service members' reasons for 
separation from service, that could be used to adjust 
recruiting and retention policies of the armed services and the 
Department of Defense, is not being collected in an effective 
or timely manner. The committee notes that the requirement for 
individual exit surveys and interviews with separating or 
retiring service members has not been uniformly established 
across the Department of Defense. In addition, the committee is 
concerned that the exit surveys may not be valid survey 
instruments.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Department of Defense Office of People 
Analytics, to determine the best methodology and timing to 
conduct and require exit interviews or surveys with individuals 
leaving Active Duty to establish, at a minimum:
    (1) what personal or professional factors are causing the 
service member to leave the military service.
    (2) what specific opportunities, programs, or benefits 
could have influenced their retention decisions.
    (3) service member satisfaction with benefits, 
compensation, and service leadership.
    (4) service member suggestions for improving benefits, 
career management, or work-life balance.
    Furthermore, the Secretary, in coordination with the Office 
of People Analytics, shall review currently existing military 
personnel databases that may be used to assist the services in 
further establishing service member behaviors regarding 
accession and retention in the military.
    The committee directs the Secretary to provide a briefing 
to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives not later than April 1, 2020, on the efforts to 
establish enhanced military personnel data analytics and an 
effective exit survey program as described above.

                  Servicemember Statement of Benefits

    Section 522 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) 
amended chapter 58 of title 10, United States Code, by adding a 
new ``Statement of Benefits'', that would provide 
servicemembers, with a current and individualized statement of 
benefits that provides a comprehensive and complete listing of 
all benefits to the servicemember is entitled. To date, the 
Department of Defense has not yet complied with section 522. 
The committee reaffirms that Active Duty servicemembers and 
members of a Reserve Component shall be provided with an 
individualized, comprehensive, and complete statement of 
benefits listing all benefits to which they are entitled. It is 
imperative that those who have served in our Nation's Armed 
Forces be afforded with clear guidance as to the benefits to 
which they are entitled after serving their country to assist 
them with a successful transition to civilian life. Provision 
of such a statement of benefits individualized to each 
servicemember, including an authoritative estimate of benefits 
provided by other departments, will assist in that member's 
awareness of and ability to access services to which that 
member is entitled.

                       Spouse Employment Programs

    The committee is aware of the extensive network of 
resources that the Department of Defense has established to 
assist spouses of members of the Armed Forces in seeking 
employment. The committee understands the need to provide both 
online and in-person career counseling and employment 
information to ensure the unique needs of military spouses are 
met. However, the committee remains concerned that some of the 
resources available may not adequately target the professions 
most sought-after by spouses. Therefore, the committee directs 
the Comptroller General of the United States to provide a 
briefing to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives not later than April 1, 2020, with a report to 
follow at a later date, containing the following components:
    (1) an analysis of whether military spouses with certain 
professional certifications or licenses have higher rates of 
unemployment and underemployment than other military spouses;
    (2) an analysis of whether military spouses with certain 
professional certifications or licenses have higher rates of 
unemployment and underemployment when compared to their 
civilian counterparts;
    (3) an analysis of whether military spouses married to 
service members of certain ranks have higher rates of 
unemployment and underemployment than other military spouses;
    (4) an analysis of whether the Department of Defense has a 
system of measurement for evaluating the effectiveness of 
States' laws in easing licensing burdens on military spouses 
and whether occupational licensing requirements are considered 
when evaluating service member assignment decisions; and
    (5) marketing efforts by the Department of Defense to 
ensure military spouses are aware of the available resources.

the report is received and accepted.

                   TITLE VII--HEALTH CARE PROVISIONS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                    Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy

    The committee commends the research and work being 
conducted by the Department of Defense on traumatic brain 
injury (TBI). However, the committee is seeking to understand 
the proportion of TBI research being dedicated to chronic 
traumatic encephalopathy (CTE). Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the 
Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives not 
later than March 1, 2020, on the following:
    (1) the proportion and amount of the Department of Defense 
medical research budget being dedicated to CTE;
    (2) the projected number of service members potentially 
afflicted with CTE;
    (3) the plan and methodologies used for the detection of 
CTE in service members and covered beneficiaries;
    (4) the number of Department of Defense Graduate Medical 
Education programs that incorporate CTE into curricula;
    (5) the therapeutics being developed for covered 
beneficiaries afflicted with CTE; and
    (6) potential gaps in CTE research and detection 
methodologies.

                       Civilian Astronaut TRICARE

    The committee is aware of the sacrifices and risks 
associated with serving as an astronaut or payload specialist 
with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. This 
select population is exposed to hazardous environments that can 
result in injury and death. Currently, two-thirds of the 
currently living former astronauts were members of the military 
who are covered by TRICARE. The remaining one-third, however, 
are not eligible for this valuable benefit after years of 
dangerous and important service to their Nation. Therefore, the 
Secretary of Defense shall provide a briefing to the Committee 
on Armed Services of the House of Representatives no later than 
July 1, 2020, on the advisability and feasibility of providing 
TRICARE coverage to former astronauts and payload specialists.

Co-Location of Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs 
                           Medical Facilities

    The committee is concerned that the Department of Defense 
and Department of Veterans Affairs have not fully considered 
the potential benefits of co-locating military treatment 
facilities in geographic locations in close proximity to 
Department of Veterans Affairs medical facilities in areas like 
William Beaumont Army Medical Center, Naval Medical Center San 
Diego, Travis Air Force Base, and other similar locations. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
submit a report to the Committee on Armed Services of the House 
of Representatives by February 1, 2020, on the following:
    (1) a list of facilities where co-location may be possible;
    (2) a cost-benefit analysis that highlights efficiencies 
that could be gained by shared services, personal services 
contracts, equipment, and other resources; and
    (3) a list of facilities that could benefit from a joint 
planning, design, and construction process for Department of 
Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs medical facilities.

            Defense Health Command Organizational Structure

    The committee recognizes the Department of Defense is 
undertaking the most significant reform in the history of the 
Military Health System (MHS). Congressional action over the 
last 3 years has sought to ensure the MHS standardizes business 
process, reduces unnecessary duplication of organizational 
structures while enhancing the readiness of service members, 
and ensures a robust TRICARE health benefit. However, it 
remains unclear whether the Defense Health Agency is the 
transformational organizational structure needed to move the 
MHS into the future. Section 711 of the John S. McCain National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-
232) required the Department of Defense to study potential 
Defense Health Command organizational structures, but that 
report has not yet been completed. The committee encourages the 
Department of Defense to consider the most efficient structure 
that meets the congressional requirements to transform the 
Military Health System as it determines the feasibility of 
developing a Defense Health Command organization structure.

      Food Allergies in the Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program

    The committee recognizes the critical contribution that the 
Department of Defense research and development portfolio makes 
in protecting service members and their families from chronic, 
life-threatening conditions. The committee recognizes the need 
to sustain and support these efforts by fully funding research 
and development programs that carry out this work within the 
Department of Defense Health Program and the Peer Reviewed 
Medical Research Program. A recent study in the Journal of the 
American Medical Association indicated that more than 10 
percent of the civilian population of the United States suffers 
from food allergies. If these figures were adjusted to the 
TRICARE population, it may translate into at least 400,000 
beneficiaries that could be affected. Also important is that 
more than two-thirds of young adults do not qualify for 
military service due to poor physical fitness or other issues 
where the diagnosis of food allergy may adversely affect 
military recruiting and retention. The committee recognizes 
that the rapidly increasing rate of food allergy prevalence 
over the past two decades can have detrimental effects on 
readiness and can increase defense-related health care costs. 
The committee encourages investment in research on the causes, 
treatments, and cures for food allergies.

 Government Accountability Office Review on Health Care Quality in the 
                         Military Health System

    The committee understands the Military Health System 
strives to offer quality health care to service members and 
covered beneficiaries. However, the committee is concerned 
there may be some gaps in different quality metrics that assess 
the provision of health care services. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Comptroller General of the United States to conduct 
a review and submit a report to the Committee on Armed Services 
of the House of Representatives not later than February 1, 
2020, that includes the following:
    (1) the timeliness of urgent health care referrals to be 
appropriately referred in both the direct care system and 
purchased care system;
    (2) an assessment of whether patients in the Military 
Health System are receiving the right amount of care when 
needed;
    (3) an assessment of whether the Department of Defense is 
utilizing work conducted by the Agency for Healthcare Research 
and Quality and the Institute of Medicine in developing 
standardized health care quality metrics;
    (4) an assessment on how many medical providers in the 
direct care system and purchased care system lost eligibility 
for malpractice insurance prior to working for the Department 
of Defense or would not be eligible for insurance were they not 
working for the Department of Defense; and
    (5) any changes in patient safety metrics related to the 
implementation of the Genesis electronic health record.

 Implementation Plan To Address the Impacts of Obesity on the Defense 
                               Enterprise

    The committee remains concerned that persistent high rates 
of excessive weight and body fat pose long-term risks for 
national security to the extent they prevent the Department of 
Defense from its mission to recruit, retain and sustain an 
effective joint force. The committee recognizes the efforts of 
the Department of Defense in acknowledging these mission 
readiness challenges and observes the findings of numerous 
studies on excessive weight and body fat in the military 
population. The committee notes that the Department of the 
Defense is the largest public healthcare provider in the United 
States and is aware of estimates that the Department spends 
more than $1 billion annually in treating obesity-related 
illnesses for servicemembers and dependents. The committee also 
observes that despite multiple studies acknowledging the costs 
and systemic readiness challenges of obesity-induced illnesses 
in the military community, actions taken to date have been 
fragmented, uncoordinated, and generally ineffective in 
reversing the detrimental impacts this condition has on 
readiness and rising health care costs. The committee believes 
the Department must urgently address the challenges that 
obesity poses to mission readiness and the military healthcare 
system's capacity to provide care to servicemembers, dependents 
and retirees.
    The committee therefore directs that the Undersecretary for 
Personnel and Readiness provide a briefing to the congressional 
defense committees by January 15, 2020 on the Department's 
implementation plan to address weight and obesity impacts on 
military servicemembers and dependents in the active and 
reserve component. This plan will include a
    (1) a description of the Department's goals, and how it 
will measure progress toward these goals;
    (2) how it will incorporate cross-functional strategies to 
align efforts across the services, commands, agencies, and the 
broader defense health enterprise;
    (3) how it will expand access to healthy food and fitness 
facilities in military communities;
    (4) how it will implement nutritional standards for food 
offered in military dining facilities, defense resale entities, 
and contract vendors; and
    (5) how it will use existing acquisition authorities to 
catalyze innovative partnerships to rapidly prototype scalable 
technology-enabled solutions that improve health and wellness 
for servicemembers and dependents across their daily lives.

    Innovative Traumatic Brain Injuries Preventative Device Research

    The committee commends the Department for its ongoing 
efforts to combat Traumatic Brain Injuries (TEI). With over 
380,000 TBIs documented within the services since 2000, the 
committee remains concerned about service members sustaining 
TBIs in training and in combat, particularly within the US 
Army.
    The committee understands that to date there has been 
limited focus and funding aimed at research for preventative 
solutions (other than helmets and training) to mitigate the 
severity of, or prevent entirely, TBI events despite the fact 
that such solutions are currently being developed in the 
commercial sector. For example, the committee is aware of 
collar-based technology that when worn around the neck has been 
shown to reduce the frequency and severity of TBIs. The 
committee believes it would be prudent for the Army to 
prioritize and initiate active research on protective devices 
such as these to determine their benefit and applicability to 
the force.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of 
the Senate and House of Representatives, not later than January 
1, 2020, on the Army's efforts in the area of TBI mitigation. 
The briefing shall include a description of the Army's current 
and past research on TBI preventative devices, the Army's plan 
to incorporate new innovate TEI preventative devices into their 
research efforts, and possible paths for the rapid fielding of 
such devices.

                Malaria and Malaria Vaccine Development

    The committee recognizes the critical contribution that the 
Department of Defense research and development portfolio makes 
in protecting service members from infectious diseases they may 
encounter on missions around the world. The committee 
recognizes the need to sustain and support this work by fully 
funding research and development programs that carry out these 
activities within the Department of Defense Health Program and 
Department of the Army and Department of the Navy Research, 
Development, Test and Evaluation budgets, including the 
Military Infectious Diseases Research Program, the Walter Reed 
Army Institute of Research, and the Navy Medical Research and 
Development Center. The committee in particular commends the 
research on malaria and malaria vaccines conducted by the 
Walter Reed Army Institute of Research and the Navy Medical 
Research and Development Center and encourages sustained 
investment in these areas.

                Military Wellness Information Synthesis

    The committee is concerned that gaps between disparate 
health databases may pose a risk to the readiness of service 
members in the Armed Forces. The committee also understands the 
need to harness the power of data and transform it into 
meaningful information, requires tools like algorithms, 
artificial intelligence and agile information system 
architecture. Therefore, the committee encourages the 
Department of Defense to continue seeking ways to partner with 
industry and develop internal processes that can leverage big 
data for strategic decision making that also has the power to 
make important contributions to individual service member 
readiness.

   Naval Medical Research Unit Dayton Disorientation Research Device

    The committee notes the importance of the work being 
conducted on spatial disorientation at the Naval Aerospace 
Medical Research Lab at Naval Medical Research Unit-Dayton on 
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio. Spatial disorientation 
represents one of the most significant non-combat causes of 
aviation mishaps. A new Navy research tool, the Disorientation 
Research Device, known as the ``Kraken,'' has the ability to 
provide unprecedented research capability to address the 
persistent threat of spatial disorientation. The committee 
encourages the Secretary of Defense to make effective use of 
this valuable research capability to reduce the risk of spatial 
disorientation and to evaluate human factors like operational 
effectiveness, performance, and safety in range of moving 
vehicles.

              Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Drug Therapy

    The committee is encouraged by recent medical advancements 
in the treatment of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). This 
emphasis on treatment is essential given that the Veterans 
Administration estimates that between 11 and 20 percent of 
Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom veterans 
have PTSD in a given year. As a part of these advances, both 
the Department of Defense and private companies have worked to 
develop new drug therapy, some of which are in the Phase 3 
clinical trial stage. The committee encourages the Department 
to continue partnerships with private drug developers and to 
fund Phase 3 clinical trials for PTSD drugs when appropriate. 
However, there are concerns that additional emphasis should be 
placed on the advanced development of pharmaceuticals that show 
increasing effectiveness throughout clinical trials. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by January 1, 
2020, on the current efforts underway to develop effective PTSD 
drug therapy, along with a description of existing partnerships 
with private drug developers, and the amount of Federal funding 
they receive.

Report on Access to Health Care Services for Reserve and National Guard 
                      Who Disclose Sexual Assault

    The Committee is concerned that if a Reserve Component (RC) 
service member is sexually assaulted while not in an active 
status, they are ineligible for DoD medical care (to include 
psychological health care) to treat symptoms from the trauma. 
Sexual assault, regardless when it occurs, is likely to impact 
duty performance and degrade mission effectiveness, and RC 
service members often execute military missions alongside their 
active duty counterparts. Medical treatment, to include 
psychological health treatment, can assist in recovery and 
enhance mission effectiveness and should be available 
regardless of service member's duty status. The Committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by January 1, 2020 on the 
feasibility of providing medical care, to include psychological 
care, to members of the RC who are sexually assaulted while not 
in an active status.

 Report on Expanding TRICARE Benefits To Include Coverage To Allow for 
 Medical Treatment for Sexual Dysfunction Related to Sexual Assault or 
                               Harassment

    The Committee is concerned that service members who have 
been sexually assaulted or harassed do not have access to 
treatment for sexual dysfunction related to sexual assault or 
harassment through TRICARE. Service members who experience 
sexual assault or sexual harassment often struggle with 
subsequent sexual dysfunction, and may benefit from mental 
health treatment by an expert provider who treats sexual 
dysfunction, either as a stand-alone treatment, or in 
combination with medication. The Committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to brief the House Committee on Armed 
Services no later than January 1, 2020 on the feasibility of 
providing treatment for sexual dysfunction related to sexual 
assault or harassment.

         Report on Pre-Hospital Tactical Combat Trauma Training

    The committee is interested in the continued development of 
tactical combat casualty care and notes the pivotal role it has 
played in saving the lives of wounded service members. However, 
the committee is concerned about the wide variation and lack of 
a standardized teaching methodology for pre-hospital tactical 
combat casualty care that could result in adverse casualty 
outcomes in the operational environment. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report 
to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives not later than May 1, 2020, on the development 
of a comprehensive strategy that addresses the standardization 
of pre-hospital tactical combat casualty care, as well as 
hospital and pre-hospital partnerships that include the 
American College of Surgeons, the National Association of 
Emergency Medical Technicians, and other organizations that may 
provide vital training, standards, and best practices that help 
improve the continuum of battlefield care. The report shall 
also include analysis of preventative medicine partnership 
programs, such as orthopedic surgery, that contribute to the 
medical readiness of military medical providers as they relate 
to tactical combat casualty care.

 Report on Service Member Discharges Related to Human Immunodeficiency 
                          Virus or Hepatitis B

    The committee remains concerned about the implementation of 
the Department of Defense Retention Policy for Non-Deployable 
Service Members as it relates to service members with Human 
Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) or Hepatitis B. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report 
to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives not later than February 1, 2020, that includes:
    (1) the number of service members discharged over the 
previous year as part of the Department of Defense Retention 
Policy for Non-Deployable Service Members;
    (2) the number of service members discharged because of 
non-deployability associated with HIV;
    (3) the number of service members discharged because of 
non-deployability associated with Hepatitis B; and
    (4) an explanation of any updates to personnel policies 
made by the Department of Defense for individuals living with 
HIV or Hepatitis B, or other diseases who are, as a result of 
their disease, impacted by this policy.

             Research to Reduce Deaths Due to Hemorrhaging

    The committee remains concerned that a platelet shortage 
for hemorrhage control continues to impact battlefield 
casualties. With challenges in logistics and limitations on 
current platelet products, the committee believes further 
research of freeze-dried blood products would reduce the loss 
of life. The committee encourages the Department of Defense to 
rapidly advance the research and development of freeze-dried 
hemostatic products, especially platelet-derived products, 
beyond their current stage. Therefore, the committee recommends 
that freeze-dried platelet derived hemostatic agents be 
included in the Army's top medical priorities and directs the 
Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs to instruct 
the Defense Health Agency to further investigate the value of a 
freeze-dried, platelet-derived hemostatic agent. The committee 
further directs that the Secretary of the Army shall 
investigate the potential long-term use as a component in 
support of any incident that occurs under the Emergency Use 
Authorization Act.

                   Service Member Diet and Nutrition

    The committee notes that between 2001 and 2011, almost a 
million service members or former service members were 
diagnosed with at least one psychological disorder either 
during or after deployment. A 2009 Department of Defense and 
National Institutes of Health conference (``Nutritional Armor 
for the Warfighter'') identified that excessive Omega-6 and 
inadequate Omega-3 in the food military personnel eat has a 
negative effect on physical and mental health. In October 2013, 
the Defense Science Board reported that ``restoring Omega-3 
fatty acids, magnesium, vitamin-D or other nutrients to optimal 
levels may not only improve performance, but may restore 
impaired personnel to healthy and fit status . . . These and 
similar strategies are designed to provide the warfighter with 
a range of benefits to maintain peak physical and cognitive 
abilities both during the mission and over the long term.'' The 
Department's Combat Feeding Program is designed to optimize 
rations for performance fueling of the warfighter, conducting 
multiple studies on ration enhancements, including rebalancing 
Omega-6/Omega-3 fatty acids ratio. Moreover, service member 
diet and nutrition is a critical preventive component of 
military readiness. The committee encourages the Secretary of 
Defense to complete efforts to develop a holistic program 
integrating effective dietary strategies to sustain health and 
performance by fiscal year 2020 and move rapidly to implement a 
long-term enterprise-wide nutrition policy that considers a 
science-based approach to service member diets geared toward 
enhancing service member performance and maximizing combat 
effectiveness.

        Translational Application of Mental Health Evidence Base

    The committee is concerned by the pace of translating 
research on post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), pain 
management, major depressive disorders (MDDs), and substance 
abuse into practical application that can be disseminated into 
clinical practice guidelines across the Department of Defense. 
Building on the committee report accompanying the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (H. Rept. 115-
676), the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide 
a briefing to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives not later than February 1, 2020, on the 
following:
    (1) the tracking of patients who receive their care in 
primary care clinics (which frequently occurs, particularly for 
depression), those seen by embedded providers on operational 
platforms, and those who use purchased care for some or all of 
their care;
    (2) the process that ensures a formalized methodology for 
translating and tracking evidence-based research and treatments 
for PTSD, MDD, pain management, and substance abuse across the 
Department of Defense; and
    (3) the mechanism for the Defense Health Agency to track 
and assess substance abuse programs that may reside in the 
military departments.

                      TRICARE Reserve Select Study

    The committee remains concerned about Reserve Component 
service members using limited training time to address required 
health evaluations. The consumption of training time for 
purposes like medical preparedness that is not directly related 
to military readiness training may inhibit unit lethality. The 
lack of a TRICARE Reserve Select option for dual-status 
technicians impacts Reserve Component recruiting and retention 
efforts. The committee therefore directs the Secretary of 
Defense to submit a report to the Committee on Armed Services 
of the House of Representatives not later than April 1, 2020, 
that includes the following:
    (1) administrative, policy, statutory, and technical 
changes that could reduce the administrative burden on the 
military;
    (2) the program cost associated with providing TRICARE 
Reserve Select for medical, dental, and vision care to dual-
status technicians;
    (3) the out-of-pocket costs involved with providing TRICARE 
Reserve Select for medical, dental, and vision care to dual-
status technicians compared to the Federal Employees Health 
Benefits Program;
    (4) the amount of funding currently budgeted for Reserve 
Component health care;
    (5) the readiness and quality of life impacts associated 
with providing Reserve Component service members with TRICARE 
Reserve Select; and
    (6) an economic analysis of whether the cost of providing 
TRICARE Reserve Select for dual-status technicians is feasible 
when considering the readiness and time constraints of Reserve 
Component service members.

              TRICARE Specialty Drug Network Accessibility

    The Committee is concerned that the Pharmacy Benefits 
Manager (PBM) acting on behalf of TRICARE under the Office of 
Defense Health Affairs is restricting access for additional 
accredited pharmacies to the TRICARE specialty drug network 
without consideration or evaluation. The Committee is concerned 
that these actions by the PBM limits the maximum pricing 
competition possible, as well as reduces the widest degree of 
beneficiary access to drug therapies within TRICARE's specialty 
drug network.
    The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
report to the defense authorization committees by February 1, 
2020 that: evaluates TRICARE's pharmacy benefits management 
responsibilities and requirements; outlines the clear process 
for consideration, evaluation, and admission of additional and 
new accredited pharmacies to the TRICARE specialty drug 
network; and provides a cost analysis for adding new entrants 
into the specialty drug network.

                      Unhealthy Alcohol Use Report

    The committee is concerned that harmful alcohol use 
persists among Active Duty personnel and that trends have 
remained unchanged for years based on the 2015 Department of 
Defense Health Related Behaviors Survey results published in 
2018. In the report, one-third of service members reported 
binge drinking in the past 30 days and 35 percent engaged in 
hazardous or disordered drinking. High levels of alcohol misuse 
have translated into significant increases in mental health and 
health care utilization within the military. Finally, alcohol 
abuse is also associated with increased rates of suicide, 
alcohol-related misconduct, family problems, and increased 
medical costs. Taken together, these factors can significantly 
impair and diminish force readiness among Active Duty 
personnel.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the Committee on Armed Services of the 
House of Representatives by January 1, 2020, that contains the 
following:
    (1) the current Department-wide and service efforts to 
decrease the deleterious effects of alcohol on Active Duty 
personnel;
    (2) the implementation of current, effective, evidence- and 
population-based interventions to curb harmful alcohol use;
    (3) the incidence rate of sexual assaults and domestic 
violence involving alcohol-related events;
    (4) the feasibility of efforts taken to streamline the 
effective evidence-based alcohol abuse prevention programs 
employed by the services so that common elements are more 
standardized and jointly managed; and
    (5) the feasibility of adapting a National Institute of 
Alcohol and Alcohol Abuse-endorsed, effective web-based 
intervention developed by academia for the collegiate 
population to prevent and reduce harmful alcohol consumption, 
for a similarly aged military cohort pilot study.

                 University Affiliated Research Center

    The committee notes the important relationship between the 
Department of Defense and the Department-sponsored University 
Affiliated Research Center (UARC) laboratories in providing 
critical science, technology, and engineering research that 
support the warfighter. The committee encourages the Assistant 
Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs to establish a UARC to 
focus on the unique challenges wounded servicemembers 
experience. Emphasis should be placed on research that reduces 
dependency on opioids, develops novel pain management and 
mental health strategies, and leverages partnerships with 
industry and medical device manufacturers to advance promising 
technologies for wounded servicemembers.

                  Wounded Warrior Service Dog Program

    The committee is aware that Congress has appropriated funds 
for a competitive grants program to qualified non-profit 
organizations to provide assistance dogs to service members 
and/or veterans with disabilities across diverse geographic 
regions and population demographics. The program has received 
appropriations under the authority of the Defense Health 
Program, Operation and Maintenance, ``therapeutic service dog 
training program.'' The Uniformed Services University of the 
Health Sciences has solicited grant applications from non-
profit institutions committed to connecting trained service 
dogs with service members and veterans. The committee 
encourages the Secretary of Defense to fund this program and 
continue efforts to research the effectiveness of these 
treatments in support of service members recovering from post-
traumatic stress disorder and other post-deployment mental 
health conditions.

  Section 728--Study on Infertility among Members of the Armed Forces

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
conduct a study on infertility among service members of the 
Armed Forces and provide a report on the study to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives.

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

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


              Assessment of Defense Sustainment Enterprise

    The committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a comprehensive report 
to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
December 31, 2019, assessing the defense sustainment enterprise 
in order to identify the capability of that enterprise to 
support the National Defense Strategy and alternatives to 
improve the effectiveness, efficiency, and affordability of the 
overall defense sustainment enterprise. The report shall 
include:
    (1) the appropriate balance of leadership attention to 
acquisition and sustainment;
    (2) organizational structures;
    (3) the national industrial base (including both 
organizations organic to the Department of Defense and 
commercial organizations), including the right size and 
composition of the industrial base regarding organic and 
commercial technology to take best advantage of all 
capabilities in view of the National Defense Strategy, and 
depot determinations within the industrial base (organic and 
commercial), focused on warfighting requirements;
    (4) accountability of the Defense Materiel Enterprise for 
outcomes tied to readiness requirements;
    (5) such other matters as are needed to provide a full and 
accurate assessment of the defense sustainment enterprise; and
    (6) the Secretary's plan for any steps to be taken to 
address the cases identified above within the Department of 
Defense and such recommendations for legislative action as the 
Secretary considers appropriate as a result of the review.
    The committee notes that sustainment currently lacks equal 
footing with development and procurement during the acquisition 
phase of a program. The committee further notes that while the 
Department of Defense must be able to immediately counter 
multipronged, prolonged threats, the current logistics and 
sustainment system lacks the agility needed to do so. The 
committee agrees with the acquisition advisory panel 
established under section 809 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92), 
which highlighted in its final report, dated January 15, 2019, 
a number of concerns related to lack of product support and 
sustainment management which has led to degraded weapon system 
readiness, rising sustainment costs, and insufficient supply 
support.

      Assessment of Program Management Structure and Improvements

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
December 31, 2019, assessing the acquisition training of 
program managers. The report shall include a comprehensive plan 
to improve program management capacity and workforce 
competency, to include:
    (1) appropriate subject matter experience, education, years 
of experience, certifications, and other qualifications set 
forth separately for current Department of Defense employees 
and personnel in program management positions;
    (2) a plan for career training, including training in 
leadership, program management, engineering, finance and 
budgeting, market research, business management, contracting, 
supplier management, requirement setting and tradeoffs, 
intellectual property matters, and software;
    (3) a description of benefits using existing human capital 
flexibility to retain qualified employees, such as student loan 
repayments, bonuses, or pay banding;
    (4) a description of use of the Defense Acquisition 
Workforce Development Fund (DAWDF) established under section 
1705 of title 10, United States Code, to train personnel in 
program management positions; and
    (5) a description of how the program will be administered 
and overseen by the Secretaries of each military department, 
acting through the service acquisition executive for the 
department concerned and integrated with existing program 
manager development efforts.
    The committee notes that this review and plan should 
facilitate implementation of the portfolio management structure 
the Department has already undertaken. As the Department works 
to streamline and improve the defense acquisition system, 
American National Standards Institute (ANSI)-accredited 
standards should be a main source for policy updates and 
guidance around program management. The committee encourages 
working toward closing any gaps between current Department 
policy and the ANSI-accredited standards to streamline 
disparate delivery methods into a common delivery platform that 
drives consistent performance across the Department and its 
industrial base while ensuring compliance with Office of 
Management and Budget Circulars A-11 and A-119 and Public Law 
114-264. The committee also notes that DAWDF is a primary 
funding source for program and project manager training and 
development, but inconsistent access across the Department that 
prevents many professionals from accessing this support should 
be addressed.

                   Assessment of the Use of Tantalum

    The committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than December 31, 2019, 
assessing the current use of the critical material tantalum in 
Department of Defense acquisition programs. The report shall 
include an assessment of the current levels of tantalum in the 
National Defense Stockpile and the source countries involved in 
the purchase of the raw material. The report shall also include 
information on domestic and foreign sources for both procuring 
and processing tantalum that the Department has identified. The 
report submitted shall be classified at levels appropriate to 
and sufficient for access to data necessary for a comprehensive 
review of the subject and related information but must include 
an unclassified summary of findings and recommendations. The 
Under Secretary may submit comments, if any, to accompany the 
report's classified or unclassified findings and 
recommendations.

  Assessment of Training Needs for Non-Acquisition Workforce Personnel

    The committee recognizes the importance of non-acquisition 
workforce personnel who work on acquisitions at the Department 
of Defense, especially personnel who play a significant role in 
defining requirements, conducting market research, 
participating in source selection and contract negotiation 
efforts, and overseeing contract performance. However, the 
committee is concerned that the Department has limited 
visibility into the non-acquisition workforce, including 
personnel who may not be receiving acquisition training that 
would enhance their contributions.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services by February 1, 
2020, that assesses the unmet demand for courses and modules 
offered by the Defense Acquisition University. The report shall 
include an assessment of the fiscal year 2019 courses and 
modules offered by Defense Acquisition University, the extent 
that non-acquisition workforce are taking acquisition training, 
and the courses and modules that have wait lists by the start 
of the course or module. The report shall also address the 
number of courses and modules with wait lists as well as the 
number and type of non-acquisition personnel on the wait lists, 
including staff who support foreign military sales processes.
    Further, the report should include plans for how the 
Department will meet the training needs for non-acquisition 
workforce personnel. The report should address how the 
Department will identify and track non-acquisition workforce 
personnel who play a significant role in the acquisition 
process. Lastly, the report should also address the extent to 
which additional acquisition training is needed for non-
acquisition workforce personnel, including the types of 
training needed, the positions that need the training, and any 
challenges to delivering necessary additional training.

 Briefing on Sustainment Plan for Maintaining Access to MIL-PRF-19500 
                                 Parts

    The committee recognizes the important role that military 
specification semiconductor devices perform in a broad array of 
space, satellite, and strategic defense applications. These 
components form the backbone of critical defense and space 
designs by providing power and control to satellite, aircraft, 
and missiles and must be able to withstand environmental stress 
such as extreme temperature, radiation, shock, and vibration. 
The committee is aware of possible disruptions to the supply of 
over three thousand critical components that meet MIL-PRF-19500 
specifications as production ceases or domestic fabrication is 
relocated outside of the United States. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by January 15, 2020, on the status 
of the domestic supply chain for MIL-PRF-19500 qualified 
discrete parts and the sustainment plan for maintaining access 
to these qualified parts.

                   Communication with the Marketplace

    The committee notes that despite attempts to increase 
industry interaction by government-wide and Department of 
Defense acquisition leaders since Congress enacted the Federal 
Acquisition Streamlining Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-355), 
Department of Defense acquisition personnel and individuals in 
the marketplace have expressed concern about communicating with 
each other openly and frequently, believing it is either 
prohibited or fraught with risk, fearing possible legal 
violations or being challenged by oversight functions in 
government and through the protest processes. The committee 
further notes, however, that this fear is not rooted in law; 
there are very few restrictions that apply to communications 
with the marketplace.
    The committee recognizes that communications with the 
marketplace on an ongoing basis are essential to acquiring 
intelligence in terms of what the marketplace has to offer and 
acquiring and maintaining technological superiority that might 
be employed by Department of Defense to counter threats. More 
importantly, such communications would allow the Department to 
get inside the turn of near-peer competitors and non-state 
actors in terms of delivering lethality to our warfighter in a 
timely and cost-efficient manner.
    The committee wants to make it clear that, with very 
limited exceptions, communication is not only encouraged and 
authorized, but essential when engaged in an acquisition 
function.

 Comptroller General Report on Procurement Technical Assistance Centers

    The committee notes that little is known about the 
effectiveness of the Procurement Technical Assistance Program 
and its centers, known as Procurement Technical Assistance 
Centers (PTAC), in helping businesses pursue and perform under 
contracts with the Department of Defense, other Federal 
agencies, State and local governments, and government prime 
contractors. The committee is concerned that these centers have 
not been utilized to their fullest capacity to expand the 
number of businesses capable of participating in government 
contracts and whether they duplicate services available 
elsewhere.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to assess the services that PTACs provide to 
businesses seeking participation in Federal procurement. The 
review shall address:
    (1) the number of PTACs and their geographic distribution;
    (2) what is known about the number of businesses that are 
assisted annually by PTACs;
    (3) how businesses obtain access to PTAC services, 
including through procurement events sponsored by other 
agencies (for example, matchmaking events), classroom 
instruction, and counseling;
    (4) training requirements and their implementation for PTAC 
staff members providing services to businesses;
    (5) the mechanism used to determine PTAC funding;
    (6) what statistics are collected to measure the 
performance and effectiveness of PTACs; and
    (7) any other matters deemed important by the Comptroller 
General.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 2, 2020, on the Comptroller General's 
preliminary findings, and to submit a final report to the 
congressional defense committees on a date agreed to at the 
time of the briefing.

 Comptroller General Report on the Joint Capabilities Integration and 
                      Development System Timelines

    The committee notes that there have been longstanding 
concerns about the effectiveness and efficiency of the Joint 
Capabilities Integration and Development System (JCIDS) 
process. In 2008, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) 
found that most of the capability proposals that had gone 
through the process were approved, and that the process was not 
effective in identifying and prioritizing warfighting needs 
from a joint, department-wide perspective at the Department of 
Defense (DOD). Since that time, GAO has made numerous 
recommendations to improve DOD's ability to prioritize joint 
capability needs.
    The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 
(Public Law 114-328) modified the responsibilities of the Joint 
Requirements Oversight Council (JROC), which oversees the JCIDS 
process, to focus on critical joint military capabilities. The 
Act also generally designated non-joint performance 
requirements as the responsibility of the Chief of Staff of the 
military service concerned and stated that these performance 
requirements were not required to be validated by the JROC. The 
committee is aware that the Joint Staff began implementing 
revised procedures for the JCIDS process effective in November 
2018 to address these modifications.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to assess the effects of the recent revisions 
to the JCIDS process. At a minimum, the review shall address:
    (1) how the JCIDS process has been revised to address the 
modifications to the requirements process subsequent to the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017;
    (2) the extent to which joint performance requirements have 
been established and validated by the JROC since revised 
procedures were implemented and the timeframes associated with 
validating those requirements;
    (3) the extent to which the recent revisions to the process 
met anticipated goals and created challenges; and
    (4) the extent to which the military services have assessed 
whether they have effective processes and sufficient qualified 
workforces to perform their requirements development and 
validation responsibilities.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than December 1, 2020, on the Comptroller General's 
preliminary findings, and to submit a final report to the 
congressional defense committees on a date agreed to at the 
time of the briefing.

    Comptroller General Report on the Use of Fixed-Price Incentive 
                               Contracts

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense has 
increasingly favored the use of fixed-price incentive (FPI) 
type contracts, particularly for the development and initial 
production of major defense acquisition programs (MDAPs). In 
response to guidance issued by the Department, the military 
services have generally incorporated FPI type contracts into 
requests for proposals for both the development and early 
production of their major weapons systems.
    The committee is concerned by the lack of information on 
the relative benefits and costs associated with the 
Department's increased reliance on FPI contracts, including for 
Foreign Military Sales (FMS). Therefore, the committee directs 
the Comptroller General of the United States to submit a report 
to the congressional defense committees not later than July 31, 
2020, on the use of FPI type contracts for major systems within 
the Department since 2010. The report shall address, but not be 
limited to, the following elements:
    (1) the number of FPI and firm-fixed-price (FFP) contracts 
awarded by the Department since 2010;
    (2) a comparison of the average length of time for the 
Department to negotiate FPI and FFP contracts;
    (3) a comparison of the average length of time for the 
Department to close out FPI and FFP contracts;
    (4) a comparison of the average costs to the Department and 
contractor to close out FPI and FFP contracts; and
    (5) the number of times the Department has transitioned to 
FFP contracts when actual costs on prior related contracts were 
within 3-4 percent of negotiated costs.
    The report shall also address certain elements unique to 
contracting in support of FMS cases, including:
    (1) the number of times the Department used a waiver or 
exception to use a contract type other than FFP to award an FMS 
contract;
    (2) the number of FMS contracts or contracts with FMS-
specific contract line item numbers (CLINs) issued by the 
Department on an FPI versus FFP basis;
    (3) the number of the above FMS FPI contracts and CLINs 
that have been closed out;
    (4) the procedure for closing out the above FMS FPI 
contracts and CLINs; and
    (5) how the Department addresses cost underruns or overruns 
on FMS FPI and FFP contracts and CLINs.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than February 3, 2020, on the Comptroller General's 
preliminary findings.

                Defense Production Act Title III Funding

    The committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to submit a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than December 31, 2019, 
on any legal or resource barriers to the expeditious investment 
of appropriated Defense Production Act (DPA) Title III funds, 
including the requirement for a non-delegable Presidential 
determination. The report shall identify methods to invest in 
new technologies consistent with Department of Defense 
modernization priorities. The committee recognizes the value of 
the DPA Title III program in investing in domestic production 
capabilities critical to our national defense and urges the DPA 
Title III office to explore investment in innovative 
technologies consistent with the military services' 
modernization priorities, including for operating in contested 
environments.

   Expansion of the GSA Pilot Authorized under FY18 NDAA Section 846

    The committee notes the value of the online procurement 
models being piloted by the GSA's Online Marketplace, and 
appreciates the benefits of the Defense Department's ability to 
utilize e-commerce acquisitions processes for certain 
commercial items.
    However, numerous constituents have brought to light 
significant concerns with respect to data protections under the 
current pilot system. The committee notes that participating 
small businesses are particularly vulnerable to harms resulting 
from the revelation of pricing or other sensitive business 
information if a sufficient data protection regime is not in 
place. The committee is concerned that entities with both 
online marketplace portal administrator access and seller 
access may reap an unfair advantage over entities who are only 
sellers.
    Therefore the committee directs the Administrator of the 
General Services Administration to conduct a pilot on all three 
models to include the e-commerce model, the e-marketplace 
model, and the e-procurement model. The Administrator of the 
General Services Administration is directed to provide the 
appropriate congressional committees a report on the plan and 
schedule of the pilot programs by December 15, 2019.

   Innovative Construction Materials and Design Process for Military 
                      Engineering in Cold Regions

    The committee is aware that the Arctic region presents 
significant economic, defense, homeland security, and 
diplomatic challenges and opportunities for the United States. 
In order to meet the nation's strategic goals, the Department 
of Defense is well positioned to develop a combination of 
infrastructure and remote sensing strategies to monitor 
changing conditions and increasing international activities in 
the Arctic, maintain the region's general atmosphere of peace 
and stability, execute search and rescue missions, preserve 
unique ecosystems, and ensure economic and homeland 
sovereignty.
    Related to these strategic goals, the committee is 
concerned that the Department of Defense may face challenges 
when operating in the Arctic, sub-Arctic, and other extreme 
cold environments. The committee is aware that the Department 
of Defense has developed an implementation plan for the 
National Strategy for the Arctic Region. The committee notes 
that implementation of the plan entails engineering challenges 
such as the ability to construct, maintain, and retrofit 
horizontal and vertical infrastructure in cold regions.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to require 
an assessment based on both laboratory and full-scale 
accelerated testing of advanced construction techniques and 
materials needed to address the challenges of changing physical 
environments, that will enable the Department of Defense to 
rapidly project force and maintain position in austere cold 
regions. The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
March 1, 2020, on its plans for performing lab and full-scale 
tests of advanced construction techniques and materials for 
extreme cold environments. The committee further directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the House Committee 
on Armed Services by March 1, 2021, on the results of this 
assessment and the requirements for adaptive construction 
techniques and innovative materials for extreme cold 
environments.

  Insight regarding Use of Lowest Price Technically Acceptable Source 
                           Selection Criteria

    The committee recognizes that there is a continued need for 
insight and transparency regarding the extent to which lowest 
price technically acceptable (LPTA) source selection criteria 
are used by executive agencies. The committee also notes that 
the Department of Defense has not revised the Defense Federal 
Acquisition Regulations Supplement (DFARS) nor has the Office 
of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) revised the Federal 
Acquisition Regulation (FAR) to reflect the revised LPTA source 
selection criteria specified in the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) and 
John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232), respectively. The committee 
remains interested in the Department's and the OFPP's efforts 
to verify that the use of LPTA source selection criteria is 
appropriate.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees 
by March 1, 2020, on the status of Department efforts to revise 
the DFARS, issue related guidance to implement the statutory 
criteria, and ensure that its contracting officers are 
considering these criteria.
    The committee also directs the Administrator of the U.S. 
General Services Administration (GSA) to provide a briefing to 
the congressional defense committees, the House Committee on 
Oversight Reform, and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security 
and Governmental Affairs by March 1, 2020, on the status of 
efforts to update the Federal Procurement Data System, or any 
successor systems, to collect data on source selection 
procedures used in awarding contracts. In addition, the 
committee directs the Administrator of GSA to provide a 
briefing to these committees by June 30, 2020, on the status of 
its efforts to revise the FAR and ensure that contracting 
officers in civilian agencies are considering the statutory 
criteria applicable to them.

                   Maintain Commercial Supply Stores

    The committee expects the Department of Defense to compete 
through fair and open competition all requirements for the 
operation of civil engineering and industrial supply stores and 
not sole- or direct-source any such requirements unless allowed 
under the Small Business Act (Public Law 85-536).
    The committee notes that several private companies have 
operated supply stores on military installations with the 
purpose of providing commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) parts and 
supplies, much like commercial hardware stores, to military 
customers. In fact, because these storefronts serve a function 
that is not inherently governmental, Congress recognized the 
private sector's preferred role in managing and operating them, 
in the committee report accompanying the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1998 (H. Rept. 105-132).
    The committee expects the Department to reverse a trend 
which has seen the Department enter into agreements with the 
General Services Administration (GSA) to replace existing 
competitively awarded supply stores on military bases with 
stores administered through GSA's fourth-party logistics 
program. This trend runs counter to the Competition in 
Contracting Act of 1984 (41 U.S.C. 253) as it has been 
conducted without the competition that underpins Federal 
procurement policy, and results in less small business 
participation in government contracting. Therefore, the 
committee urges the Department to restore competitive 
acquisition practices and afford small business prime 
contractor opportunities through the award of contracts to 
administer these important stores at the nation's military 
facilities.

                Modernizing Department of Defense Forms

    The committee notes the changing ways in which 
organizations, members of the Armed Forces and their families, 
and federal agencies communicate using digital technology. The 
committee is concerned that current websites and key Department 
of Defense forms are not accessible on all digital and mobile 
devices. The committee commends the Department on its efforts 
to modernize forms and workflow processes to an extent of 
compliance with the 21st Century IDEA Act (PL 115-336).
    The committee supports the Defense Logistics Agency's 
effort to modernize its internal and external digital services 
consistent with the Department policies. The committee believes 
the modernization effort with regard to forms and workflow will 
enable the Defense Logistics Agency to improve service delivery 
military personnel and internal workflows. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Department of Defense Chief Information 
Officer, in consultation with military departments and 
agencies, to provide a briefing to the House Armed Services 
Committee not later than September 30, 2020, on the feasibility 
and requirements for modernizing Department forms and 
workflows. The briefing shall include two parts, at minimum:
    (1) analysis of feasibility, associated costs, and timeline 
required to modernize critical personnel forms, such as the 
Department of Defense Form 214 Certificate of Release or 
Discharge from Active Duty; and
    (2) analysis of feasibility, associated costs, and timeline 
required to modernize service processes and forms used by the 
Defense Logistics Agency.

                  Pacific Telecommunications Security

    The committee notes the strong interest in securing U.S. 
telecommunications from foreign interference, especially in 
Asia and the Pacific. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the committee not 
later than December 31, 2019 on the Department's effort to--(1) 
Identify any joint ventures, technology-sharing agreements, 
interconnection agreements, and other agreements with Huawei 
and Subsidiaries, ZTE and subsidiaries, and other Chinese-owned 
companies and subsidiaries operating on U.S. territories in the 
Pacific; and (2) ensure that telecommunications services and 
telecommunications infrastructure contacts do not compromise 
operational security of U.S. military operations or 
telecommunications security on military installations.

      Procurement Technical Assistance Centers Training Standards

    The committee supports the efforts of the Department of 
Defense to provide individualized, tailored training to meet 
the needs of Procurement Technical Assistance Centers 
nationwide. The committee is aware of and encourages the 
Defense Logistics Agency's work in consultation with the 
Association of Procurement Technical Assistance Centers and its 
members to support and enable effective training for the 
Procurement Technical Assistance Centers, but believes that 
formal, regularly updated standards would further advance these 
efforts.

      Procurement Technical Assistance Centers Training Standards

    The committee directs the Director of the Defense Logistics 
Agency to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by December 1, 2019, on training standards required 
for staff who work at Procurement Technical Assistance Centers, 
including training offered by the Defense Acquisition 
University. The briefing should identify the training 
curriculum to meet those standards, training curriculum that 
needs to be developed, and the plan to deliver the training. 
Finally, the briefing should include the Defense Logistics 
Agency method to track training completion for the Procurement 
Technical Assistance Center staff.

           Report on Domestic Nonavailability Waiver Process

    The committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense 
for Sustainment to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than December 31, 2019, on the 
domestic nonavailability waiver process currently used by the 
Department of Defense. Such a briefing shall include:
    (1) the Department's process to inform existing suppliers 
about the waiver process and guide applicants through the 
process;
    (2) the Department's process to find domestic suppliers 
after a waiver has been requested;
    (3) the Department's process to review previously granted 
waivers to determine if domestic options not previously 
available for supply are now available;
    (4) the Department's efforts to get feedback from private 
industry on the waiver process, both from suppliers submitting 
an application for a waiver and from domestic suppliers who 
believe that they can provide an item deemed domestically 
nonavailable; and
    (5) a list of all domestic nonavailability determinations 
and national security waivers granted under sections 2533a and 
2533b of title 10, United States Code, since January 1, 2014.

   Report on Ownership or Trading of Stocks in Certain Companies by 
              Department of Defense Officers and Employees

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services no later than 
June 1, 2020 detailing how many senior officials own or trade 
publicly-traded stock of a company that during the preceding 
calendar year received more than $1.0 billion in revenue from 
the Department of Defense, including through one or more 
contracts with the Department. The report shall include what 
publicly-traded companies qualify for the $1.0 billion 
threshold and the number of Department senior officials who 
have reported owning such stock through financial disclosure. 
The report shall not consider widely-held investment funds as 
described in section 102(f)(8) of the Ethics in Government Act 
of 1978 (5 U.S.C. App.) as qualifying publicly-traded stock.

 Report on Plan to Expand and Strengthen the Military Radar Industrial 
                                  Base

    The Committee recognizes the critical defense need for 
competitive radar development and production in an open and 
modular architecture to meet current and future military 
requirements and to increase the capability of the defense 
industrial base to support a low cost and modular radar 
components and prototype. This is best accomplished by 
expansion of traditional and nontraditional U.S. based 
suppliers via open competition at the module level. With this 
in mind, the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a report to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives within 120 days on a plan to strengthen the 
defense radar industrial base leveraging authorities already 
granted in the Industrial Base Analysis and Sustainment program 
and the Manufacturing Technology Program.

Report on the Department's Market Research Practices for IT Acquisition

    The committee is concerned that the Department of Defense 
continues to struggle with implementation of effective market 
research practices as part of the acquisition cycle for 
information technology goods and services. Effective 
implementation of information technology is particularly 
dependent on high quality market research. Unless the 
Department improves capabilities in this area, it will continue 
to lag the private sector in deploying innovative technologies. 
The committee is also concerned that the Department has yet to 
issue regulations clarifying that market research may be 
acquired from commercial companies as well as conducted by 
government personnel in accordance with section 882 of the 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public 
Law No: 115-232).
    Therefore, the committee directs the Chief Management 
Officer of the Department of Defense to deliver a briefing to 
the Committees on Armed Services of the House and Senate on the 
Department's efforts to improve its market research practices, 
and compliance with 10 U.S.C. 2377, with respect to information 
technology goods and services by December 15, 2019. At a 
minimum, the briefing shall include the following elements:
    (1) a discussion of current Department of Defense market 
research guidelines compared to private sector best practices
    (2) any challenges faced by the Department in accessing 
independent, third-party market research, particularly in the 
source selection process, due to incorrect perceptions that 
such research is an Inherently Governmental Function
    (3) any concerns of the Department related to potential 
conflict of interest or bias found in vendor-provided data, 
particularly as it relates to Requests for Information or 
Sources Sought Notices; and
    (4) an update on the status of regulations related to the 
use of independent, third-party market research and its status 
as a non-inherently government function.

       Report on the Procurement of Military Free Fall Parachutes

    The committee is concerned that the Army and Marine Corps 
have converted firm fixed price contracts for procurement of 
military free fall parachutes into technology development 
contracts. The committee notes that the advantages of procuring 
a parachute system, such as the Army's Advanced Ram-Air 
Parachute System (RA-1) and the Marine Corps' Enhanced Multi-
Mission Parachute System (E-MMPS) as a commercial item or at a 
firm fixed price may be undermined if the selected parachutes 
undergo significant redesign and technological changes, 
possibly incurring additional cost, post contract award.
    The committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to provide a report, no later than February 1, 2020, 
examining the Army and Marine Corps' parachute research, 
development, and acquisition strategies. The report shall 
include observations and assessments on:
    (1) The development and execution of current parachute 
acquisition strategies including, but not limited to: (a) 
performance and adequacy related to production and fielding 
schedules; (b) cost growth on a per unit or contract basis and 
explanation for such growth; (c) costs associated with the 
design and testing of parachute systems; (d) funding obligated 
or budgeted for development or product improvements to the 
systems, as well as the source of the funds used for such 
development or improvements; and (e) a review of the plans and 
results of tests and evaluations associated with such systems.
    (2) Whether contracts are being executed consistent with 
the report provided by the Secretary of the Navy pursuant to 
Section 128 of the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91; 131 Stat. 1313);
    (3) Whether the Army and Marine Corps parachute acquisition 
strategies support a competitive parachute manufacturer 
industrial base;
    (4) Whether the Army and Marine Corps have considered 
interoperability with joint, allied, and coalition forces in 
the parachute requirements development process to include 
addressing the glide ratios of the various fielded systems;
    (5) Whether there are any intellectual property or 
technology risks associated with such parachute procurements;
    (6) An assessment of the service life of such parachute 
systems; and
    (7) Any other items or issues the Comptroller General 
determines are relevant or useful to this report.

   Review of Conflicts of Interest in Organizational Analysis of the 
                         Department of Defense

    The committee recognizes the importance of assessing the 
effectiveness of organizations across the Department of Defense 
to validate their missions and functions, identify metrics to 
measure performance, and determine areas for improvement. The 
committee notes that any assessments should examine the risks 
and legal and ethical considerations associated with combining 
functions or using commercial providers to carry out certain 
functions. The committee is also aware that the Secretary of 
Defense is required to conduct joint reviews and submit reports 
regarding the Defense Contract Audit Agency, Defense Contract 
Management Agency, and Defense Finance and Accounting Service 
pursuant sections 925 and 926 of the John S. McCain National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-
232).
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
acting through the Chief Management Officer of the Department 
of Defense, to submit risk assessments to the congressional 
defense committees not later than March 1, 2020, to supplement 
the reports required by sections 925 and 926 of Public Law 115-
232. The risk assessments should reflect the Department's 
analysis of potential combination of functions with each other 
or the use of commercial providers, as applicable. The risk 
assessments should include analysis of the legal and ethical 
implications of:
    (1) conflict of interest considerations;
    (2) the risks posed to governmental interests and the 
public when ``closely associated with inherently governmental'' 
functions as defined in section 2383 of title 10, United States 
Code, are performed by commercial providers;
    (3) the risks to mission failure when ``critical'' 
functions as defined in section 2461 of title 10, United States 
Code, are performed by commercial providers;
    (4) the risks of creating an ``employer-employee 
relationship'' through the use of ``personal services 
contracts,'' whether authorized by statutory exception (e.g., 
section 129b of title 10, United States Code) or otherwise 
prohibited; and
    (5) the application of each of the general ethical 
principles in 5 Code of Federal Regulation section 2635.101(b).

      Security of Department of Defense Telecommunication Services

    In awarding contracts for telecommunication services or 
installation of telecommunication infrastructure on military 
installations located in the United States or its territories, 
the committee urges the Secretary of Defense to give preference 
to American-owned and -operated companies.

    Small Business Procurement Specialists at Military Installations

    The committee recognizes the vital service that small 
business procurement specialists provide to small businesses 
seeking to do business with the Department of Defense. Further, 
the committee notes that small business procurement specialists 
located on installations are best equipped to understand the 
products and services that local communities can provide to the 
U.S. Government. However, the committee is concerned that the 
Department of the Army is considering the realignment and 
potential consolidation of small business procurement resources 
without assessing and articulating the tradeoffs, such as the 
impact on minority-owned small businesses.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
February 1, 2020, on the Army's strategy for managing and 
allocating its small business procurement specialists. The 
report shall:
    (1) reflect alternate staffing models that the Army is 
considering or implementing, such as regional or national plans 
to centralize resources at a single site instead of maintaining 
the on-installation specialist model;
    (2) explain, where applicable, how the Army serves or plans 
to serve communities where there is no local small business 
procurement specialist; and
    (3) specify the metrics used to measure the Army's 
effectiveness in reaching small businesses, including in areas 
where there is no local small business procurement specialist.

          Sourcing of Domestic Components for U.S. Navy Ships

    The committee is concerned with the sourcing of non-
domestic components on U.S. Navy ships. The committee directs 
the Secretary of the Navy to provide a report to the 
congressional defense committees by December 1, 2019, on the 
feasibility of sourcing domestic components such as: auxiliary 
equipment, including pumps; propulsion system components, 
including engines, reduction gears, and propellers; shipboard 
cranes and spreaders for shipboard cranes; and other components 
on all Navy ships.

                         LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS


             Subtitle A--Acquisition Policy and Management


    Section 801--Establishment of Acquisition Pathways for Software 
                   Applications and Software Upgrades

    This section would direct the Secretary of Defense to 
establish a new software acquisition pathway to procure, 
develop, deploy, and continuously improve software for 
applications in the Department of Defense. It would utilize 
innovation ecosystems already in existence inside the 
Department. This section would require a report on the 
implementation not later than 180 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act.
    The committee notes that the security of the United States 
increasingly relies on software to execute missions, integrate 
and collaborate with allies, and manage the defense enterprise. 
The ability to develop, procure, assure, deploy, and 
continuously improve software is thus central to national 
defense. Software should enable a more effective joint force, 
strengthen our ability to work with allies, and improve the 
business processes of the Department enterprise.

Section 802--Software Development and Software Acquisition Training and 
                          Management Programs

    This section would direct the Secretary of Defense to 
implement software development and acquisition training and 
management programs for all software acquisition professionals, 
developers, and associated functions to provide software 
practitioners access to modern engagement and collaboration 
platforms to connect, share their skills and knowledge, and 
develop solutions leveraging the full defense enterprise.
    The committee recognizes that the Department of Defense 
requires a workforce capable of acquiring, building, and 
delivering software and technology in real time. As threats and 
demands emerge, providing a strong training and management 
program ensures the Department has talented and skilled leaders 
at the helm. The committee is aware there is no comprehensive 
training or development program that prepares the software 
acquisition and technical workforce managers to adequately 
support and lead teams to deploy modern development tools and 
methodologies for continuous capability development and 
deployment within the Department's dynamic environments. The 
committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to partner with 
institutions of higher education or private sector 
organizations, to the extent practicable, to incorporate 
existing training and management programs that are helpful in 
the software realm.

    Section 803--Modifications to Cost or Pricing Data for Certain 
                              Procurements

    This section would modify section 2306a(b)(4) of title 10, 
United States Code, and allow the head of contracting activity 
to obtain cost or pricing data for commercial items that may be 
procured under sole source authority based on market research.

 Section 804--Modifications to Cost or Pricing Data on Below-Threshold 
                               Contracts

    This section would modify section 2306a(c) of title 10, 
United States Code, and section 3504 of title 41, United States 
Code, to allow contracting officers to request certified cost 
or pricing data when necessary to determine price 
reasonableness and removes the commercial item exception.

    Section 805--Comptroller General Report on Price Reasonableness

    This section would require the Comptroller General of the 
United States to submit a report by March 31, 2021, to the 
congressional defense committees, the House Committee on 
Oversight and Reform, and the Committee on Homeland Security 
and Governmental Affairs regarding the efforts of the 
Department of Defense to obtain cost and pricing data for sole 
source contracts for spare parts.

 Section 806--Requirement That Certain Ship Components Be Manufactured 
             in the National Technology and Industrial Base

    This section would amend section 2534 of title 10, United 
States Code, and would require certain auxiliary ship 
components to be procured from a manufacturer in the national 
technology and industrial base.

 Section 807--Acquisition and Disposal of Certain Rare Earth Materials

    This section would require the Department of Defense to 
promulgate guidance on streamlined acquisition of items with 
rare earth materials and allows exceptions to the Joint 
Capabilities Integration and Development System Manual and 
Department of Defense Directive 5000.01. This section would 
require a report on such guidance and the efforts of the 
Secretary of Defense to create and maintain secure supply 
chains for these materials within the United States and covered 
foreign sources 180 days after the date of the enactment of 
this Act. This section also would provide authority for the 
disposal of tungsten ores and concentrates contained in the 
National Defense Stockpile and acquisition of other critical 
materials. This section would amend section 2533b of title 10, 
United States Code, by prohibiting acquisition of tantalum from 
non-allied foreign nations. This section would amend section 
2533c(a)(2) of title 10, United States Code, by striking 
``covered'' before ``material''.

  Section 808--Prohibition on Acquisition of Tantalum from Non-Allied 
                            Foreign Nations

    This section would amend section 2533c of title 10, United 
States Code, by prohibiting acquisition of tantalum from non-
allied foreign nations.

Section 809--Application of Miscellaneous Technology Base Policies and 
            Programs to the Columbia-Class Submarine Program

    This section would amend the application of miscellaneous 
technology base policies and programs to the Columbia-class 
submarine program.

 Section 810--Application of Limitation on Procurement of Goods other 
          than United States Goods to the FFG-Frigate Program

    This section would allow funds authorized for the FFG-
Frigate program to be used to award a contract that does not 
domestically source propulsion or certain auxiliary equipment.

   Section 811--Consideration of Price in Procurement of the FFG(X) 
                                Frigate

    This section would require the Secretary of the Navy to 
ensure cost is a critical factor in the procurement of the 
FFG(X) Frigate.

  Section 812--Repeal of Continuation of Data Rights during Challenges

    This section would repeal section 866 of the John S. McCain 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public 
Law 115-232). Section 866 provided authority, in addition to 
existing authority, for the government to use non-commercial 
technical data during a period of challenge in an agency Board 
of Contract Appeals or the U.S. Court of Federal Claims under 
certain circumstances.

 Section 813--Repeal of Authority to Waive Acquisition Laws to Acquire 
                  Vital National Security Capabilities

    This section would repeal section 806 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-
92), which allowed the Secretary of Defense to waive any 
provision of acquisition law or regulation in certain 
circumstances.

 Section 814--Repeal of Transfer of Funds Related to Cost Overruns and 
                             Cost Underruns

    This section would repeal an annual requirement for the 
Secretary of each military department to pay a penalty for cost 
overruns on covered major defense acquisition programs of the 
military department. Under the requirement, the Secretary of 
each military department was required to reduce research, 
development, test and evaluation, or procurement accounts up to 
$50.0 million at each military department every fiscal year. 
The funds were then credited to the Rapid Prototyping Fund 
established pursuant to section 804 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92).

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


 Section 821--Modifications to the Middle Tier of Acquisition Programs

    This section would amend section 804 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-
92) by directing the Secretary of Defense to develop a process 
to provide the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation, the 
Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation, and the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering access 
to all technical data, records, and information necessary to 
evaluate the technical maturity of acquisitions carried out 
under the rapid prototyping and rapid fielding authority. This 
section would also clarify that no program under this authority 
shall be the same size or exceed the dollar value of a major 
defense acquisition program, unless a waiver is granted from 
the Secretary of Defense.

 Section 822--Briefing Relating to the ``Middle Tier'' of Acquisition 
                                Programs

    This section would modify section 804 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (10 U.S.C. 2302 
note) to direct the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing 
to the committee on the lessons learned and best practices 
identified through the use of the ``middle tier'' of 
acquisition programs.

 Section 823--Rates for Progress Payments or Performance-Based Payments

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
provide congressional defense committees with a notice of 
determination and to notify the public through the Federal 
Register before initiating changes to contract finance rates 
for progress payments or performance-based payments. This 
section would also require that the Secretary of Defense not 
use rates that are lower than the rates provided by the 
Secretaries of the Federal agencies listed in section 2302 of 
title 10, United States Code.

Section 824--Additional Requirements for Negotiations for Noncommercial 
                           Computer Software

    This section would amend section 2322a of title 10, United 
States Code, and codify existing Defense Federal Acquisition 
Regulations on noncommercial software rights as well as 
mandate, to the maximum extent practicable, that specially 
negotiated licenses be used for weapon systems noncommercial 
software.

    Section 825--Responsibility for Data Analysis and Requirements 
                   Validation for Services Contracts

    This section would amend section 2329 of title 10, United 
States Code, to specify that the Secretary of Defense act 
through the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and 
Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation to collect 
data and information annually on the amount contracted for 
services procured by the Department of Defense, which would be 
included in the Future Years Defense Program submitted to 
Congress.

Section 826--Annual Reports on Authority to Carry Out Certain Prototype 
                                Projects

    This section would amend section 2371b of title 10, United 
States Code, by adding a new section requiring the Secretary of 
Defense to annually submit a report to the congressional 
defense committees on the activity carried out under the 
authority to use other transaction authorities for prototype 
projects and any deviations from implementing guidance.

Section 827--Competition Requirements for Purchases from Federal Prison 
                               Industries

    This section would amend section 2410n of title 10, United 
States Code, by removing ``for which Federal Prison Industries 
does not have a significant market share''.
    This section would create a requirement for conducting 
market research before purchasing a product listed in the 
Federal Prison Industries (FPI) catalog. This section would 
require the Department of Defense to:
    (1) conduct market research to determine if the product is 
comparable to products in the private sector and meets the 
Department's needs (price, quality, or time of delivery) prior 
to purchasing a product from FPI.
    (2) use competitive procedures or purchase under a multiple 
award contract if the product is not comparable and does not 
meet the Department's needs.

           Section 828--Enhanced Post-Award Debriefing Rights

    This section would amend section 818 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-
91), which required post-award debriefings of the Department of 
Defense rating for each evaluation criteria and overall award 
decision, by reducing the award threshold for comprehensive 
debriefings from $100.0 million to $50.0 million.

  Section 829--Standardizing Data Collection and Reporting on Use of 
            Source Selection Procedures by Federal Agencies

    This section would repeal portions of section 2305 note of 
title 10, United States Code, and section 3701 note of title 
41, United States Code, which required the Government 
Accountability Office (GAO) to provide an annual report on the 
use of lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) source 
selection procedures by the Department of Defense and civilian 
agencies, respectively. These provisions presumed that the 
Department and the Office of Federal Procurement Policy (OFPP) 
would revise the Defense Federal Acquisition Regulations 
Supplement or the Federal Acquisition Regulation within the 
timeframes established in the enabling legislation. GAO has 
twice reported that the Department has not yet implemented the 
source selection criteria provided by Congress. The committee 
also understands that the OFPP is just beginning the process to 
draft implementing regulations for civilian agencies despite 
the mandate to do so within 120 days of the enactment of the 
John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232). The committee notes that until 
the Department and OFPP issue implementing regulations, GAO 
will not have new information regarding agencies' use of LPTA 
and whether contracting officers are using LPTA appropriately.
    This section would also require revisions to the Federal 
Procurement Data System (FPDS), or any successor systems, to 
facilitate the collection of data on source selection 
procedures used in awarding contracts and other relevant 
contract actions, such as task and delivery orders issued under 
indefinite delivery-indefinite quantity contracts. Under this 
section, the Administrator of General Services, in coordination 
with the OFPP would determine appropriate revisions to the FPDS 
within the 180 days provided for under this section. The 
committee notes that this revision should be feasible, as the 
FPDS already collects information on whether contracts were 
awarded using the sealed bidding process, which accounts for a 
relatively small percentage of the total contracts awarded each 
year. The committee expects that the new information to be 
collected would include, at a minimum, whether the contract 
awarded or order issued was made using LPTA or best value 
contracting methods, or some other procedure.

Section 830--Modification of Justification and Approval Requirement for 
                Certain Department of Defense Contracts

    This section would modify the justification and approval 
threshold to $100.0 million for Department of Defense sole 
source contracts awarded to certain Native communities. The 
threshold was established in section 811 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act of Fiscal Year 2010.

        Subtitle C--Provisions Relating to Acquisition Workforce


Section 841--Defense Acquisition Workforce Certification and Education 
                              Requirements

    This section would amend section 1701a of title 10, United 
States Code. The committee notes that the Department of Defense 
could better prepare its acquisition workforce by modernizing 
its certification process to emphasize professional skills that 
are transferable across the workforce and industry. The 
Secretary of Defense is authorized to implement the program 
based on third-party accredited, nationally or internationally 
recognized standards, where they exist, or through entities 
outside the Department, if the Secretary determines that to be 
the best approach.
    This section also would amend section 1724 of title 10, 
United States Code, and strike the requirement for contracting 
officers to have completed at least 24 semester credit hours 
(or the equivalent) of study from an accredited institution of 
higher education, and make conforming amendments to section 
1732 of title 10, United States Code. The committee notes that 
the Department has raised the professionalism of its 
acquisition workforce since enactment of the Defense 
Acquisition Workforce Improvement Act in 1990 and the 
amendments would allow the Department the flexibility to 
establish the specific educational requirements that should be 
applied to a particular workforce career field.
    This section would also amend title 10, United States Code, 
by modifying several sections of chapter 87 to institutionalize 
career paths for all acquisition workforce career fields, and 
by inserting a new section 1765 to develop competencies for 
every acquisition career field. The committee is aware that 
while chapter 87 had general career path requirements, none 
specifically applied to all acquisition career fields or 
mandated recommended attributes, such as key work experience. 
Section 1721, as amended would be a key factor in the success 
of this implementation and would require the Department to 
identify which specific career fields represent the acquisition 
workforce in order to better institutionalize career paths 
throughout all acquisition career fields. The committee 
recognizes the scope of the new section 1765 is designed to 
establish proficiency standards throughout the acquisition 
workforce in an effort to qualify and assess the technical and 
nontechnical competencies for all acquisition career fields.
    Lastly, this section would amend section 1721 of title 10, 
United States Code, to include foreign military sales personnel 
as part of the acquisition workforce.

   Section 842--Public-Private Exchange Program for the Acquisition 
                               Workforce

    This section would create a two-way exchange program 
between the Department of Defense acquisition workforce and 
private sector companies. The committee recognizes that 
exchange programs between the public sector and the private 
sector could benefit the Federal Government and private sector 
companies alike, as evinced by the creation of a public-private 
talent exchange in the National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328). The committee recognizes 
that the Department's willingness to support those employees 
who participate in the exchange program and promote the further 
development of their careers would be essential to the success 
of the program.
    The committee is aware that the Department's previous 
efforts to implement such exchange programs were undermined by 
structural disincentives for key stakeholders. The committee 
notes that the new statute would eliminate these disincentives, 
thereby paving the way for greater participation among the 
acquisition workforce. In particular, the committee notes that 
the new statute would preclude the use of a private sector 
employee's participation in the exchange program, in and of 
itself, as the basis of an organizational conflict-of-interest 
complaint.
    This section would make conforming amendments to section 
1705 of title 10, United States Code, to permit the use of the 
Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund for the exchange 
program, and to section 1599g of title 10, United States Code, 
to exclude members of the acquisition workforce from the 
Department-wide talent exchange.

   Section 843--Incentives and Consideration for Qualified Training 
                                Programs

    This section would amend chapter 141 of title 10, United 
States Code, by adding a new section to incentivize contractors 
to invest in workforce development programs to address the 
workforce needs of the Department of Defense, as determined by 
the Secretary. This section would also require the Secretary of 
Defense to include an evaluation of contractor workforce 
development programs in the contract past performance system.

    Section 844--Certification by Prospective Military Construction 
   Contractors of Good Faith Effort to Utilize Qualified Apprentices

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
revise the Defense Supplement to the Federal Acquisition 
Regulation to require a system be used to monitor or record 
contractor past performance of the contractor making a good 
faith effort to meet or exceed the apprenticeship employment 
goal of 20 percent. This section would also require the 
Secretary of Defense to develop an apprenticeship workforce 
incentive program to encourage contractors to meet the 20 
percent goal of employing certified and skilled workers who 
have completed State-mandated, federally funded programs in the 
relative career fields and certify to good faith effort to 
achieve the goal. This section would also require the Secretary 
of Defense to include an evaluation of whether the contractor 
meets this goal in the contractor past performance rating 
system.

        Subtitle D--Provisions Relating to Acquisition Security


 Section 851--Supply Chain Security of Certain Telecommunications and 
                Video Surveillance Services or Equipment

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
conduct a comprehensive assessment of Department of Defense 
policies relating to telecommunications and video surveillance 
services and equipment from foreign contractors and 
subcontractors, and identify means to mitigate threats through 
the debarment and suspension process. This section would also 
require the Secretary of Defense to write regulations and 
internal Department policies and expectations for contractor 
cooperation based on findings of the assessment, not later than 
180 days after the date of the enactment of this Act. This 
section would strengthen the detection, avoidance, 
notification, and remediation of suspect covered equipment and 
services in the Department's supply chain.

   Section 852--Assured Security against Intrusion on United States 
                           Military Networks

    This section would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from 
awarding contracts for the procurement of telecommunications 
services or installations of telecommunications infrastructure 
on national security installations located on territories of 
the United States in the Pacific Ocean unless the contractor is 
American-owned or American-operated. This section includes an 
exception for contracts for telecommunications services or 
telecommunications infrastructure that do not process or carry 
information concerning the national security of the United 
States. The Secretary of Defense may waive this prohibition 
upon written determination that such a waiver is in the 
national security interest of the United States.

    Section 853--Revised Authorities to Defeat Adversary Efforts to 
             Compromise United States Defense Capabilities

    This section would strengthen defense supply chains by 
including security as a primary purpose for Department of 
Defense acquisition.

 Section 854--Prohibition on Operation or Procurement of Foreign-Made 
                       Unmanned Aircraft Systems

    This section would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from 
operating or entering into a contract for the procurement of 
certain unmanned aircraft systems.

 Section 855--Supply Chain Risk Mitigation Policies to Be Implemented 
                through Requirements Generation Process

    This section would amend section 807 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-
91) to require the Secretary of Defense to develop tools for 
supply chain risk mitigation policies during the requirements 
generation process.
    The committee notes that supply chain risk issues have 
grown in importance as the U.S. defense acquisition supply base 
has become increasingly global. The committee further 
recognizes that supply chain risk mitigation is requirements-
specific and should be addressed early in the acquisition 
process to allow for tailoring where appropriate.

       Subtitle E--Provisions Relating to the Acquisition System


      Section 861--Modifications to the Defense Acquisition System

    This section would enforce acquisition reforms already 
enacted by Congress, enact new policy on the recommendations of 
congressionally chartered panels, and lay the foundation for a 
continued culture of reform in acquisition.

                  Subtitle F--Industrial Base Matters


 Section 871--Consideration of Subcontracting to Minority Institutions

    This section would require the Department of Defense to 
ensure that the system used by the Federal Government to 
monitor or record contractor past performance for a grant or 
contract awarded to an institution of higher education includes 
incentives for the award of a sub-grant or subcontract to 
minority institutions.

  Section 872--Size Standard Calculations for Certain Small Business 
                                Concerns

    This section would clarify that section 3(a)(2)(C) of the 
Small Business Act undoubtedly applies to the Small Business 
Administration (SBA). The section would align the size 
standards based on data to the Small Business Runway Extension 
Act of 2018 (Public Law 115-324) by changing the calculation 
from 3 years to 5 years. This section also would require the 
SBA to develop a transition plan for small businesses and 
Federal agencies to help them successfully navigate the 
transition from the previous 3-year calculation to the new 5-
year calculation as mandated and would require that the System 
for Award Management be updated accordingly.

      Section 873--Modifications to Small Business Subcontracting

    This section would ensure greater accountability for prime 
contractors electing to receive subcontracting credit for 
subcontracting with small businesses at lower tiers, and would 
provide small businesses with an alternative avenue for 
nonpayment issues with the prime contractor. This section would 
clarify that large prime contractors have the ability to 
receive subcontracting credit for small businesses at lower 
tiers; would strengthen the agency's ability to collect and 
review data regarding prime contractors' achievement of their 
subcontracting plans; would require the prime contractor to 
keep and maintain records to demonstrate subcontracting credit 
claimed; and would implement a new dispute process allowing 
small subcontractors to bring nonpayment issues to the agency 
small business advocate.

 Section 874--Inclusion of Best in Class Designations in Annual Report 
                        on Small Business Goals

    This section would allow Congress to obtain critical 
information regarding the participation of small businesses in 
specially designated multiple award contracts known as ``best 
in class'' contracts. It would require the Small Business 
Administration (SBA) to report Federal spending made through 
designated ``best in class'' vehicles, and to report on the 
dollars awarded through these vehicles to small businesses. 
Additionally, this section would require the SBA to report the 
dollar amount of contracts awarded to HUBZone, women-owned, 
service-disabled veteran-owned, and socially and economically 
disadvantaged (also known as 8(a)) small businesses. This 
section would become effective on the date on which this 
information becomes available on the appropriate government-run 
procurement tracking system.

    Section 875--Small Business Administration Cybersecurity Reports

    This section would require the Small Business 
Administration to issue reports that assess its cybersecurity 
infrastructure, including determining the country of origin of 
its information technology components, and report cyber 
threats, breaches, and cyber attacks.

  Section 876--Cyber Counseling Certification Program for Lead Small 
                      Business Development Centers

    This section would amend section 21(a) of the Small 
Business Act by adding Cyber Strategy Training for Small 
Business Development Centers (SBDCs) and require the Small 
Business Administrator to establish, or certify, an existing 
cyber counseling certification program to certify employees at 
small business development centers (that have directly received 
a grant from the Administration) to provide assistance to small 
businesses for planning cybersecurity practices and strategies 
to respond to cyber attacks. The Small Business Administration 
would be authorized to reimburse SBDCs for employee 
certification costs up to $350,000 per fiscal year.

Section 877--Exemption of Certain Contracts from the Periodic Inflation 
        Adjustments to the Acquisition-Related Dollar Threshold

    This section would amend subparagraph (B) of section 
1908(b)(2) of title 41, United States Code, to exempt certain 
contracts from the periodic inflation adjustments to the 
acquisition-related dollar threshold.

    Section 878--Improvements to Certain Defense Innovation Programs

    This section would create a pilot program within the 
Department of Defense to encourage engagement with commercial 
technology companies through the Small Business Innovation 
Research Program and the Small Business Technology Transfer 
Program, and would modify other elements of the innovation 
architecture within the Department.

   Section 879--Pilot Program for Development of Technology-Enhanced 
              Capabilities with Partnership Intermediaries

    This section would authorize the Commander of U.S. Special 
Operations Command to use not more than 5 percent of funds 
required to be expended by the Department of Defense relating 
to small businesses for a pilot program to increase 
participation by small business concerns in the development of 
technology-enhanced capabilities for special operations forces. 
The authority would terminate on September 30, 2021.

Section 880--Authorized Official to Carry Out the Procurement Technical 
                Assistance Cooperative Agreement Program

    This section would move the management and oversight of the 
Procurement Technical Assistance Cooperative (PTAC) Agreement 
Program from the Defense Logistics Agency to the Office of the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment. The 
committee recognizes that PTACs are a critical part of efforts 
at the Department of Defense to reach new businesses and expand 
the defense industrial base. As such, the PTAC program should 
be placed in the Department's Office of Industrial Policy 
(formerly known as the Office of Manufacturing and Industrial 
Base Policy), where it would align with their activities.

 Section 881--Permanent Authorization and Improvement of Department of 
                     Defense Mentor-Protege Program

    This section would make the Department of Defense Mentor-
Protege pilot program permanent. This section also would add 
additional reporting requirements to better track the 
businesses that are benefiting both as mentors and proteges.

                       Subtitle G--Other Matters


Section 891--Requirement to Use Models of Commercial E-Commerce Portal 
                                Program

    This section would amend section 846 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (41 U.S.C. 1901 
note) to require the Administrator of the General Services 
Administration to establish a 5-year program to pilot three 
models for commercial e-commerce portals to include an e-
commerce model, an e-marketplace model, and an e-procurement 
model as identified in section 4.1 of ``Procurement Through 
Commercial E-Commerce Portals Phase II Report: Market Research 
and Consultation'' issued by the Administrator in April 2019.

 Section 892--Report and Database on Items Manufactured in the United 
             States for Major Defense Acquisition Programs

    This section would amend chapter 144 of title 10, United 
States Code, by inserting a new section requiring the Secretary 
of Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees assessing the domestic source content of 
procurements carried out in connection with major defense 
acquisition programs. This section would also require the 
Secretary of Defense to establish an information repository for 
the collection of domestic source content information to be 
used for continuous data analysis and program management 
activities. The section would express the sense of Congress 
that any entity of the Department of Defense should purchase 
only American-made equipment and products where possible.
    The committee is interested in ensuring the Department's 
acquisition processes are in line with, at a minimum, the 
standards of the Buy American Act of 1933 (Public Law 72-428) 
and believes the Department should be setting a goal to acquire 
and procure purely American-made equipment and products to 
ensure a strong national industrial base to support our 
warfighters in time of need.

   Section 893--Requirements Relating to Selected Acquisition Reports

    This section would reestablish the requirement for Selected 
Acquisition Reports, which summarize key cost and schedule 
information for major defense acquisition programs (MDAPs) at 
the Department of Defense.
    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
submit a proposal for an alternative reporting methodology for 
MDAPs with the budget request for fiscal year 2021. The 
proposal shall also include other programs, such as rapid 
prototyping or rapid fielding programs, carried out under the 
authority of section 804 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-92) and how the 
Department plans to report cybersecurity and software 
development metrics.

  Section 894--Contractor Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math 
                                Programs

    This section would amend section 862 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public Law 112-
81) by requiring that activities conducted under the authority 
provided in section 862 be considered as allowable community 
service activities for the purposes of determining allowability 
of cost on a government contract. The committee is aware that 
current cost accounting practices provide that the costs 
associated with certain community service activities be 
considered as allowable costs on a government contract. The 
Federal Acquisition Regulation specifically lists blood drives, 
savings bond drives, and disaster assistance as examples of 
such allowable community service activities. The committee 
believes that contractor investments in the science, 
technology, engineering, and math (STEM) programs covered under 
section 862 are of service to our communities, increase the 
health of the defense industrial base, and develop the STEM 
workforce of the Department of Defense. This section would also 
make technical corrections and conform the provision to the 
current organizational structure of the Department of Defense.

   Section 895--Extension of Sunset Relating to Federal Data Center 
                        Consolidation Initiative

    This section would extend the sunset date of the Federal 
Data Center Consolidation Initiative established in section 834 
of the Carl Levin and Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-
291) from October 1, 2020, to October 1, 2022.

   Section 896--Requirements Relating to Certain Rail Rolling Stock 
                      Procurements and Operations

    This section would prevent financial assistance, 
specifically Federal transit dollars, from being used to award 
a contract or subcontract for the procurement of passenger 
railcars to priority foreign state-owned, -controlled, or -
subsidized enterprises (as identified by the Trade Act of 
1974). This section would create a certification process for 
transit agencies to ensure their funds are not being used to 
purchase rolling stock from a covered manufacturer, with a 
narrow exception for transportation agencies with a preexisting 
contract or subcontract with a covered rail rolling stock 
manufacturer executed prior to the date of the enactment of 
this Act.
    This section also would require that any rail transit 
service operator develop and execute a plan for identifying and 
reducing cybersecurity risks. Recipients of Federal transit 
assistance would be required to review best practices and 
identify any hardware and software components of new rolling 
stock assets that should undergo third-party testing.

Section 897--Prohibition on Contracting with Persons That Have Business 
                   Operations with the Maduro Regime

    This section would prohibit the Department of Defense from 
entering into a contract for the procurement of goods or 
services with any person that has business operations with an 
authority of the Government of Venezuela that is not recognized 
by the United States as the legitimate Government of Venezuela.

functions, assets, and obligations from the space elements of 
the Air Force to the Space Corps over a specified transition 
period.

                  Section 923--Reports on Space Corps

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
submit to the congressional defense committees a series of 
reports on the organizational structure of the Space Corps, the 
military personnel requirements of the Space Corps, the 
civilian personnel requirements of the Space Corps, and the 
transfer of assets to the Space Corps.

                   Section 924--Space National Guard

    This section would prohibit the Secretary of Defense from 
transferring any personnel or resources from any reserve 
components, including the National Guard, to the United States 
Space Corps until the date on which a Space National Guard of 
the United States has been established by law.

             Section 925--Effects on Military Installations

    This section would clarify that nothing in this part shall 
be construed to authorize or require the relocation of any 
facility, infrastructure, or military installation in the Air 
Force.

                      Part II--Other Space Matters


                Section 931--United States Space Command

    This section would repeal section 169 of title 10, United 
States Code, that mandated a sub-unified command for space.

                      TITLE X--GENERAL PROVISIONS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                             Other Matters


            Assessment of Special Operations Force Structure

    U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) has seen 
considerable growth since 2001, doubling its civilian and 
military manpower, more than tripling its budget, and 
quadrupling its overseas deployments. Despite increases in 
funding and growth over time, maintaining the readiness of 
special operations forces (SOF) continues to be a challenge due 
to a high operational tempo and global demand for forces.
    The committee recognizes the unique capabilities SOF offer 
to combatant commanders to achieve objectives in their assigned 
area of operations and acknowledges the value of SOF in 
carrying out missions which the general purpose forces (GPF) 
are not trained or equipped to meet. However, the committee 
notes that SOF are increasingly assigned to missions more 
appropriate for GPF, such as security cooperation in permissive 
environments, and that the theater special operations commands 
continue to self-generate requirements without limitation or 
validation.
    The committee remains concerned that the ever-increasing 
demand for SOF and continued over-employment may further 
degrade the readiness of the force for current and future 
contingencies, result in decreased proficiency in SOF 
activities, and negatively impact the well-being of the SOF 
enterprise.
    The committee also notes that SOF have been oriented to 
counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations and 
contingencies for almost two decades and that alignment to the 
National Defense Strategy (NDS) will require SOF proficiency in 
different languages, cultures, and skill sets. Further, the 
committee believes that alignment to the NDS requires SOCOM to 
take advantage of emerging technologies to equip SOF operators 
and enablers to operate in new and challenging environments and 
that current organizational constructs may need to be modified 
to meet the objectives of the National Military Strategy.
    Finally, the committee recognizes that all military 
operational units are pressed to meet current demands and 
maintain readiness, but believes SOF should be preserved for 
SOF specific missions as an elite, highly specialized, and 
small force.
    Therefore, elsewhere in this title, the committee includes 
a provision that would require the Secretary of Defense to 
enter into an agreement with a federally funded research and 
development center for the conduct of an independent assessment 
of the force structure and roles and responsibilities of 
special operations forces and submit the assessment to the 
congressional defense committees not later than July 1, 2020.

                  Audit Leadership and Accountability

    The committee believes that clear leadership and 
accountability across the Department of Defense is a central 
factor enabling progress on audit readiness and remediation. 
The committee is encouraged by the steps taken by the 
Department to ensure that senior leaders are responsible for 
leading the transformations of business processes and financial 
systems that are required in order to achieve an unmodified 
audit opinion. The committee continues to encourage the 
Department to pursue this policy across the Department, 
agencies, and services.

    Briefing on Improving Ground Combat Vehicle Assured Mobility in 
                            Northern Regions

    The committee continues to have concerns regarding the cold 
weather capabilities and readiness of the military services. 
Specifically, the committee has concerns regarding the training 
and equipment limitations that may exist that could effectively 
limit operations and ground combat maneuver against peer 
competitors in northern and arctic regions. The committee also 
notes that near-peer and peer competitors such as North Korea, 
Russia, and China have well-known ground mobility capabilities 
in northern and arctic regions. The committee encourages the 
Army to consider the advisability and feasibility of 
implementing a task force to assess the current status of 
assured mobility in northern regions utilizing Army and 
civilian subject matter experts in northern military ground 
maneuver operations to assist in identifying science and 
technology gaps, as well as inform any modeling and simulation 
efforts required for the improvements to legacy and next 
generation ground combat vehicles.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Chairman of the Joint 
Chiefs of Staff, in consultation with the Chiefs of Staffs of 
the military services to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2020 that includes 
current plans and potential opportunities to improve ground 
combat vehicle assured mobility in extreme cold weather 
conditions and regions.
    The briefing should also include:
    (1) A description and evaluation of current joint force 
requirements and capabilities for ground mobility to support 
military operations in extreme cold climates;
    (2) A description and evaluation of requirements for 
extreme cold weather ground mobility in the Arctic, Northeast 
Asia, and Northern and Eastern Europe;
    (3) A description and evaluation of the current joint force 
ground mobility readiness and training, and any equipment, 
infrastructure, personnel, or resource limitations or gaps that 
may exist;
    (4) An analysis of opportunities to expand tactical ground 
mobility development and testing for extreme cold weather and 
the resources or infrastructure required for such expansion; 
and
    (5) A description and evaluation of manned and unmanned 
ground systems for operations in extreme cold weather 
environments.

Briefing on National Guard Readiness and Ability To Meet Modern Threats 
          From Area Disasters and Weapons of Mass Destruction

    The Committee is aware that since the 1998 report on the 
National Guard's ability to respond to threats from Weapons of 
Mass Destruction (WMDs) there has been a significant evolution 
of threats emanating from technological revolutions, asymmetric 
threats, new chemical and biological threats, cyber threats, 
electromagnetic pulse (EMP) threats, UAV and drone technology, 
and security at the border and at ports of entry.
    Further, as the Committee observed in response to 
Hurricanes Maria, Harvey, and Michael, the recent California 
wildfires, and other wide-area natural disasters, synchronizing 
the flow of forces and resources in disaster response and 
recovery operations requires seamless planning and operations 
on behalf of U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) and the National 
Guard, including all six phases of shaping, anticipating, 
responding, operating, stabilizing, and transitioning afflicted 
areas and populations.
    In light of these evolving threats, it is appropriate to 
re-examine the National Guard Homeland Defense and Security 
enterprise. The Committee believes it is important that each 
State and Territory be given the opportunity to develop 
detailed plans relating to their own special circumstances, 
under the guidance of the National Guard Bureau.
    The Committee directs the Chief of the National Guard 
Bureau, and the Commander of NORTHCOM, to provide a briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services, no later than April 15, 
2020, detailing the following:
    (1) a clarification of the roles and missions, structure, 
capabilities, and training of the National Guard and NORTHCOM 
and identification of emerging gaps and shortfalls in light of 
current homeland security threats to our country;
    (2) an overview of the resources that each State and 
Territory National Guard has at its disposal that are available 
to respond to a homeland defense or security incident;
    (3) the readiness and resourcing status of the resources 
listed in (2);
    (4) the current strengths and areas of improvement in 
working with State and Federal interagency partners;
    (5) the current assessments in place that address Guard 
readiness and resourcing of NORTHCOM Title 10 forces postured 
to respond to homeland defense and security incidents, and;
    (6) a roadmap that addresses readiness across the spectrum 
of long-range emerging threats facing the United States.

    Briefing on Support to Civil Authorities in Support of Natural 
   Disasters and Law Enforcement with Aerial Platforms and Satellites

    The committee recognizes that the Department of Defense 
provides resources at the request of States, territories, and 
other Federal agencies in support of natural disasters and 
matters of law enforcement. Some of this support comes in the 
form of unmanned and manned aerial systems supporting search 
and rescue operations, natural disasters (to include preemptive 
measures), and through collaboration between the Department and 
other Federal agencies. The committee also recognizes that the 
Department utilizes some of its space-based resources to assist 
in wildfire support (to include detection) and other natural 
disasters. The committee is concerned that there is a lack of 
understanding of the policy, procedures, and overall 
availability of Department resources.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Chief of the National Guard Bureau and 
the Director of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency, to 
provide an unclassified briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services and, as appropriate, the Committee on Homeland 
Security, not later than September 30, 2019, on the 
availability of Department resources, focusing on aerial and 
satellite platforms in support of natural disasters and law 
enforcement, the assets that are currently available, and how 
States, territories, and Federal agencies request or access 
these resources.
    The briefing should provide:
    (1) an explanation of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), 
piloted platforms, and satellite support the Department 
provides or can provide to States and other Federal agencies, 
including examples of support provided, length of time to 
approve requests, whether any requests were disapproved and the 
reason that such requests were disapproved, during calendar 
year 2018.
    (2) an overview of programs, including satellite systems, 
that provide wildfire support to States and Federal agencies, 
including how long such programs have been in operation, the 
processes by which States access such programs, and whether 
such programs provide detection and early warning as well as 
support during wildfires. The overview shall include examples 
of the support the Department provided in calendar year 2018 to 
wildfire suppression and wildfire detection.
    (3) an overview of current policies regarding the use of 
such systems and platforms by States and Federal agencies and 
the procedures a State or Federal agency must follow to obtain 
Department support for natural disasters and search and rescue 
operations, including whether UAS require additional approvals, 
and the amount of time to obtain additional approvals. Further, 
a discussion of whether such procedures can be streamlined, and 
whether different authorities exist when requesting use of 
unmanned systems versus manned systems.
    (4) a description of the different categories of the 
Department's UAS, how the different categories are managed, and 
if certain UAS categories affect the Department's ability to 
provide support to a State or Federal agency.
    (5) a description of how the Department shares imagery 
collected by manned aircraft and UAS with Federal, State, and 
local disaster responders, including whether such imagery is 
shared in real time.
    (6) an explanation of any restrictions on the use of UAS 
under the ``Guidance for the Domestic Use of Unmanned Aircraft 
Systems in U.S. National Airspace,'' August 18, 2018, and 
Department of Defense Instruction (DODI) 3025.18 ``Defense 
Support to Civil Authorities,'' or other relevant Department of 
Defense guidance.
    (7) a description of how the Department (Active Duty, 
National Guard, and the Reserves) supports other Federal 
agencies with UAS assets, specifically the Department of 
Homeland Security (DHS) and Custom and Border Protection (CBP), 
including examples of requests that were supported or not 
supported and an explanation for such determinations.
    (8) a description of policies and laws that facilitate or 
restrict Department support to DHS or CBP, and a description of 
any systems in place that enable long-range planning to support 
DHS and CBP support requests.
    (9) an analysis of how the Department of Defense can 
improve access and knowledge of resources to States, 
territories, and other Federal agencies and whether there are 
plans to make more assets available in the future.
    (10) any other matters the Secretary determines 
appropriate.

    Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear Response Enterprise

    The committee recognizes that a robust Chemical, 
Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) Response 
Enterprise is critical to the Nation's security. U.S. Northern 
Command plays an integral role in domestic CBRN response, and 
the committee applauds the role of the National Guard in the 
planning and response. The committee also notes the importance 
of coordinated combined training and operations between the 
Department of Defense and civilian first responders and 
agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security and the 
Department of Health and Human Services. To further enhance 
this collaboration, the committee believes the Department of 
Defense and other Federal and State agencies that sponsor first 
responder training should coordinate CBRN training 
opportunities to maximize the effectiveness of such events. As 
the Department of Defense continues to execute unit-level and 
enterprise-wide training events, including exercises in major 
metropolitan cities, the Department of Defense should consider 
including State and local first responders on a space-available 
basis. As noted in the Blue Ribbon Study Panel on Biodefense 
report released in October 2018, this would better integrate 
the Department of Defense response to a CBRN event with the 
overall Federal response. The committee encourages the 
Department of Defense, in coordination with Department of 
Homeland Security and Department of Health and Human Services, 
to increase engagement with State and local emergency first 
responders related to training and expert advice on CBRN 
emergency response activities, technology, and exercises.

             Commercial Technology Support to Audit Efforts

    The committee notes the rapid progress of commercial 
digital technologies such as robotic process automation, 
cognitive computing, and artificial intelligence, and 
encourages the Department of Defense to leverage such 
advancements in order to improve the quality and richness of 
financial data, reduce or eliminate manual processes and 
complex financial reconciliations, and accelerate the 
Department's achievement of an unmodified audit opinion. The 
committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), 
in coordination with the Chief Management Officer, to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than February 1, 2020, on the initiatives the Department has 
undertaken to incorporate commercial digital technologies into 
the Department's business processes.

                     Designation of Gender Advisors

    The committee notes the importance of gender perspectives 
and meaningful participation by women in peace and security 
processes. The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
designate a gender advisor for each of the geographic and 
functional combatant commands, the Office of the Secretary of 
Defense, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency, and the Joint 
Staff.

   DOD Efforts to Improve Friendly Force Identification in Close Air 
                                Support

    The committee notes that the tragic loss of military 
personnel to friendly-fire is a historical and unfortunate 
reality of military operations. While the Department of Defense 
has applied lesson learned and made marked progress in 
coordination processes between friendly forces, and has 
developed technologies to mitigate risk for distinguishing 
friendly and adversary forces, incidents of friendly-fire have 
not been eliminated.
    The committee recognizes that tactical air controllers 
employ a variety of friendly force identification systems in 
close air support operations and that the Department continues 
to seek improvements in its ability to identify friendly forces 
during military operations. However, the committee is concerned 
that ongoing efforts to upgrade critical identification 
capabilities are no sufficiently coordinated or synchronized 
within the Department to ensure expeditious integration and 
interoperability of advanced technologies as systems are 
developed, tested, and fielded.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to provide a report not later than September 
30, 2020, that assesses the following issues:
    (1) What actions has the Department taken to ensure a 
common understanding of requirements and challenges related to 
friendly force identification by close air support aircraft, 
including visibility of ongoing efforts to meet requirements;
    (2) What efforts does the Department have underway to 
enhance friendly force identification capabilities, to include 
efforts to identity, evaluate, and incorporate new technologies 
in rapid and effective manner;
    (3) To what extent does the Department coordinate and 
communicate friendly force identification requirements and 
evaluations across the Department to ensure that military 
services are developing complimentary requirements and 
interoperable technologies for ground combat personnel and 
aircraft platforms;
    (4) To what extent the Department has reviewed close air 
support training curriculum to determine sufficiency and 
effectiveness for those forces assigned to provide close air 
support capabilities; and,
    (5) Any other issues the Comptroller General determines 
appropriate with respect to efforts improve the Department's 
ability to identity friendly forces and minimize friendly fire 
incidents.

Evaluation of Integration of a Geographic Combatant Command and Theater 
                       Special Operations Command

    Theater Special Operations Commands (TSOCs) are subunified 
commands of U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) that are 
operationally controlled by geographic combatant commanders 
(GCC). The TSOC plans and conducts campaigns in support of the 
GCC across the spectrum of military operations.
    The committee is concerned that GCC and TSOC organizational 
structures may not be optimal for managing, integrating, and 
synchronizing special operations forces (SOF) operations across 
an area of responsibility (AOR). For example, GCC and TSOC 
mission, planning, and operational control misalignment was 
highlighted in the investigation of the October 2017 incident 
in Niger in which four U.S. service members were killed. 
Additionally, U.S. Africa Command recently completed an effort 
directed by the Secretary of Defense to review the SOF 
footprint in the AOR referred to as ``optimization.'' The 
committee understands this effort was to decrease the reliance 
on SOF and more appropriately align SOF activities with GCC 
objectives. However, the committee believes that 
synchronization and alignment of SOF activities and operations 
to clear and concise GCC missions, goals, and objectives should 
be an ongoing priority for all GCCs, not directed by the 
Secretary of Defense.
    Furthermore, according to recent work conducted by the 
Government Accountability Office (GAO) regarding SOF readiness, 
the operational tempo for SOF continues to be high due to an 
ever-increasing demand for forces by GCCs. A significant 
percentage of the demand is generated directly by the TSOCs, 
which set forth requirements for SOF in a relatively 
unconstrained manner. The committee notes this demand impacts 
the sustainability of current missions and SOF preparedness for 
future crises and conflicts.
    The committee understands that as the Department of Defense 
focuses on near-peer competition, SOF will play a key role in 
such efforts, including in the U.S. European Command (EUCOM) 
AOR to address Russian malign influence. The committee notes 
that the percentage of SOF personnel deployed to Europe has 
grown significantly over the last several years and believes 
that the alignment of the GCC and TSOC is imperative for 
effective operations as well as to managing geopolitical and 
force protection risk related to any operations.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to submit a report to the congressional 
defense committees by March 1, 2020, containing an assessment 
of the following: the sufficiency of EUCOM and U.S. Special 
Operations Command-Europe command structures to manage, 
integrate, and synchronize SOF operations in Europe; EUCOM's 
defined missions, goals, and objectives for SOF units operating 
in Europe and what challenges, if any, do units face measuring 
progress against those goals and objectives; SOCOM's ability to 
provide SOF required to support EUCOM and what impact, if any, 
has such resourcing had on the ability of SOF to carry out 
other ongoing or future operations; and any other issues the 
Comptroller General determines appropriate with respect to SOF 
operations in Europe.

  Feasibility of Providing Dedicated Security Contingency Support for 
                     Non-Governmental Organizations

    The committee notes that development is a critical 
component to address the root causes of violent extremism and 
non-governmental organizations (NGOs) provide essential support 
to relevant agencies. The committee seeks to evaluate the 
challenges and benefits associated with Department of Defense 
support to U.S. development programs designed to prevent and 
address the underlying causes of violent extremism in fragile 
states that require personnel to operate in environments with 
poor security conditions.
    Therefore, not later than March 31, 2020, the committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing on the 
feasibility of providing dedicated security contingency support 
from the Department of Defense for NGOs meeting specified 
criteria in the case of a security incident in a fragile state, 
including medical evacuation, quick reaction force support, and 
personnel recovery. The report should include:
    (1) An assessment of the potential legal implications of 
providing such support;
    (2) An assessment of implications to U.S. policy regarding 
providing such support, including locations where direct 
engagement with foreign forces is expected;
    (3) Implementation steps required for such support;
    (4) Identification of any potential limitations due to 
geographic location of such security incident;
    (5) Identification of any potential limitations due to the 
security situation at such geographic location;
    (6) An assessment of resources required to perform such 
support functions;
    (7) An assessment of prioritization of such support in 
relation to other military missions;
    (8) An assessment of risk to military operations;
    (9) An assessment of operational risk to members of the 
military that may be involved in providing such support;
    (10) Authorities, capabilities, and resources currently 
available, including capacity and assets available to 
geographic combatant commands;
    (11) Whether such ground force commanders currently have 
the authority to provide such assistance;
    (12) Identification of potential criteria that would be 
necessary for a security incident to necessitate support;
    (13) Identification of potential criteria that may be 
required for NGOs to receive such support; and
    (14) Any other matters the Secretary determines 
appropriate.

    Incorporation of Cleared U.S.-Flag Commercial Ship Operators in 
                         Wargames and Exercises

    Given the critical role that U.S.-flag commercial ship 
operators play in the combat logistics force and in strategic 
sealift, as well as the increasing threat environment outlined 
in the National Defense Strategy, the committee is concerned 
about vulnerabilities arising from potential capacity 
shortfalls and attrition. The committee therefore directs the 
Secretary of the Navy to brief the House Committee on Armed 
Services no later than October 1, 2019, on any plans to include 
cleared U.S.-flag commercial ship operators in wargames and 
exercises, including but not limited to Large Scale Exercise 
2020.

   Independent Study on Detainee Medical Care at United States Naval 
                     Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba

    The committee notes the important value of an independent 
assessment of detainee medical care at United States Naval 
Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Therefore, the committee directs 
the Comptroller General of the United States to provide a 
report to the congressional defense committees not later than 
September 1, 2020, on the quality of medical care provided to 
detainees at United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. 
The report shall include the following:
    (1) a review of the medical care, including specialty care, 
provided to detainees at Guantanamo after January 10, 2002;
    (2) an assessment of the health care requirements of the 
detainees at Guantanamo;
    (3) an assessment of relevant standards of care for 
comparison to the quality of medical care provided for 
detainees at Guantanamo;
    (4) whether there are specific professional or training 
requirements for providers at Guantanamo, and how this may 
affect the provision of medical care for detainees;
    (5) whether there are specific challenges to providing 
health care, including specialty care, to detainees at 
Guantanamo, such as policy, practice, and organizational 
factors; access to detainee medical records; and security 
clearance policy and the need for security clearances; and
    (6) an assessment of policies at Guantanamo related to 
detainee medical records and their interaction with the 
Military Commissions process, including any impacts on medical 
care.
    As appropriate, the report shall provide recommendations 
for policy changes, including any recommendations that would 
require legislative action. The report shall be unclassified 
without dissemination control, but may include a classified 
annex.

              Management of the Ammunition Industrial Base

    The committee recognizes the critically important 
responsibility and authority of the Joint Program Executive 
Office for Armaments and Ammunition (JPEO A&A) for 
comprehensive life-cycle assessment, planning, and management 
of our ammunition industrial base ensuring that our warfighters 
are appropriately equipped and supplied to meet ammunition 
readiness and mission requirements.
    The committee is concerned, however, that potential changes 
to the existing distribution of responsibility and authority 
for the life-cycle management of our ammunition enterprise, 
including the government-owned and contractor-operated 
industrial base, risks unnecessarily undermining unity of 
command and effort, complicating command and support 
relationships, contributing to inefficiency, and increasing 
cost.
    The committee is aware that the recent report, ``DoD 
Ammunition Enterprise Organizational Assessment'' dated March 
7, 2019, evaluated various options for realignment of 
responsibility and authority for management of the ammunition 
industrial base. Included in that report was a recommendation 
for a ``thorough legal review'' of statutory and regulatory 
changes that could impact readiness responsibilities for all 
agencies considered.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army, 
prior to deciding on any changes currently under consideration, 
to conduct an audit of all laws, policies and procedures 
related to proposed changes and, if needed, identify 
legislative or regulatory changes required to implement such 
management changes. The committee further directs the Secretary 
of the Army to provide to the House Committee on Armed Services 
a briefing on the results of this audit, as well as plans to 
mitigate risk to the industrial base, risk to unity of command 
and effort, complications between command and support 
relationships, inefficiencies, or increased costs, not less 
than 60 days prior to implementing any changes to the 
distribution of authority or responsibility for the management 
of the ammunition industrial base.

                      Navy Cost Savings Initiative

    The committee is aware of the significant time and effort 
invested in audit readiness and remediation on the part of 
individual units and commands, and notes in particular the 
efforts of Commander, U.S. Pacific Fleet to enhance internal 
controls over the obligation management process. These efforts 
have to date resulted in sufficient freed purchasing power to 
enable the reinvestment of $4.4 million into ship repair costs 
for the USS Paul Hamilton (DDG-60). The committee directs the 
Secretary of the Navy to brief the committee by December 1, 
2019 on lessons learned from this initiative that can be 
applied across the broader Navy enterprise, as well as what the 
Navy plans to do to incentivize similar efficiencies, while 
enabling mission success, in the future.

     Office of the Chief Management Officer Human Capital Analysis

    The committee notes that the Office of the Chief Management 
Officer (CMO), which establishes policy and guidance for 
business system investments, has not demonstrated that it has 
conducted a human capital analysis, as recommended by the 
Government Accountability Office (GAO) in May 2013. The 
committee is concerned that without the insights provided by 
such an analysis, the Office of the CMO will be limited in its 
ability to plan strategically to address skill gaps, likewise 
limiting its ability to lead improvement initiatives across the 
Department of Defense. Given the importance of defense business 
system investments to key Department initiatives such as 
Financial Improvement and Audit Remediation, the committee 
believes it important that the CMO perform such an analysis at 
the earliest possible date. Accordingly, the committee directs 
the Chief Management Officer to provide an interim briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services not later than September 
30, 2019, outlining a plan to conduct a human capital analysis 
pursuant to the GAO recommendation, as well as a report to the 
congressional defense committees not later than January 15, 
2020, detailing the results of the human capital analysis.

           Operational Use of Publicly Available Information

    Violent extremist organizations and state-actors continue 
to conduct influence, command and control, and other overt 
operations in the information environment (IE), including on 
social media platforms, to achieve objectives that undermine 
U.S. national security. As such, the demand for the operational 
use of Publicly Available Information (PAI) for traditional 
military activities such as military information support 
operations, battlespace awareness, and force protection 
continues to increase. In fact, the 2016 Department of Defense 
Strategy for Operations in the IE correlates information 
operations and cyberspace operations with the operational use 
of PAI.
    The committee is aware that the collection, exploitation, 
understanding, and use of PAI may serve operational or 
intelligence operations or activities of the Department. The 
committee acknowledges that obtaining, understanding, and 
utilizing PAI for operational purposes presents significant and 
unique policy challenges. For example, the committee believes 
that protection of privacy and civil liberties of U.S. persons 
must remain a priority when setting forth guidance on 
accessing, acquiring, requesting, storing, analyzing, or 
otherwise using PAI for operational means, and that operational 
use of PAI should not serve as a replacement for Open Source 
Intelligence or other intelligence sources and tradecraft, or 
operational methods, for verifying military targets.
    The committee notes that the Department has not yet 
established, but is formulating, a policy and governance 
structure for PAI. The committee is concerned that the lack of 
policy and governance structure is hindering the Department 
from maintaining an edge in and outside of the IE. The 
committee also notes that cover requirements and resources for 
administering cover may not be conducive to responsible and 
expedient operational use of PAI.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Policy, in coordination with the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence, to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than October 1, 2019, on 
the operational use of PAI. The briefing shall include a 
description of the traditional military activities that may be 
enabled or enhanced using PAI, an update on policy formulation 
and considerations, frameworks for oversight and governance, 
cover requirements and guidance, and protection of U.S. persons 
privacy and civil liberties.

        Report on Egypt's Counterterrorism Campaign in the Sinai

    The Committee is concerned with the lack of verifiable 
access to the Egyptian Sinai to monitor compliance with end-use 
monitoring requirements. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of 
State, to provide a report to the House Armed Services 
Committee, the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the Senate 
Armed Services Committee, and the Senate Foreign Relations 
Committee not later than November 1, 2019 detailing whether the 
Government of Egypt is readily providing information to the 
Government of the United States to facilitate a comprehensive 
vetting process; a detailed description of the internal 
protocol, evidentiary standards, and decision making process 
followed by the Department of Defense and the Department of 
State in investigating reports of human rights violations 
committed by Egyptian security forces; and an assessment of 
whether the Egyptian security forces are adequately complying 
with obligations under the ``Golden Sentry'' and ``Blue 
Lantern'' programs. The Committee directs the report to be 
provided in unclassified form, including a classified annex if 
necessary.

Report on Supporting Requirements for the Air Force's Proposed Increase 
                           in Force Structure

    The committee is concerned that the current size and 
structure of the Air Force does not support the National 
Defense Strategy. The committee acknowledges the Air Force's 
recent force structure assessment, called ``The Air Force We 
Need'', which provides a case and framework that would, if 
adopted and resourced, grow the Air Force from 312 to 386 
operational squadrons. While the committee understands the 
assessment's analysis and conclusions and the case it makes to 
grow the size of the Air Force, it also notes the limitations 
associated with an analysis of operational squadrons only. 
Further, the committee is concerned that the requirement for 
386 operational squadrons as illustrated in the assessment will 
only be realized through the alignment of resources to these 
requirements through future Air Force budgets and encourages 
the Air Force to develop a more comprehensive analysis that 
would fully integrate planning for 386 operational squadrons 
into future budgets.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, Chairman 
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the secretaries of the other 
military departments to provide a report to the congressional 
defense committees not later than March 1, 2020, that builds on 
the analysis completed in the ``Air Force We Need'' assessment, 
and details the supporting resources and support personnel 
requirements necessary to execute a force sized at 386 
operational squadrons. This analysis and report should include 
associated, realigned, or additional infrastructure 
requirements, maintenance and other supporting personnel 
requirements, depot production, industrial base support, and 
additional details the Secretary feels necessary to fully 
identify, evaluate, and estimate the costs of the changes 
required within the larger Air Force enterprise to meet the 
requirements of the National Defense Strategy.

  Report on the Process for Repatriation of Individuals Who Have Been 
  Cleared for Transfer out of United States Naval Station, Guantanamo 
                               Bay, Cuba

    The committee is concerned that the process for 
transferring individuals detained at U.S. Naval Station, 
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to third countries once they have been 
cleared for transfer by a periodic review board or the 
Guantanamo Review Task Force has ceased to make headway. A 
number of individuals detained at U.S. Naval Station, 
Guantanamo Bay, have been cleared for transfer to third 
countries, yet no such cleared individual has been transferred 
since January 20, 2017.
    In addition, an envoy in charge of detainee repatriation 
has not been appointed, and although periodic review boards 
(PRBs) continue to operate, the status and the future of the 
transfer process is unclear.
    In light of these concerns, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional 
defense committees not later than September 30, 2019, on the 
state of the repatriation process. The report shall be 
unclassified without dissemination control, but may include a 
classified annex. At a minimum, the report should address the 
following issues:
    (1) the status of and current plans for the repatriation 
process;
    (2) an explanation of the reasons why there has not been a 
transfer of an individual who has been cleared for transfer by 
a periodic review board or the Guantanamo Review Task Force 
since January 20, 2017, including any policy reviews or changes 
that have occurred to the PRB process;
    (3) the current state of each individual's case who has 
been cleared for transfer, but has not been transferred, 
including any actions taken to facilitate their transfer, any 
obstacles to their transfer, the current state of any planning 
for transfer;
    (4) an explanation of the reasons why a repatriation envoy 
for the Department of Defense has not been appointed, the 
impact that the lack of a repatriation envoy has on the 
repatriation process, whether there have been any efforts in 
the absence of a repatriation envoy, and an assessment of those 
efforts if applicable;
    (5) an assessment of who in the administration is currently 
in charge of arranging transfers for cleared detainees, 
monitoring former detainees' safety after repatriation or 
resettlement, and monitoring country compliance with transfer 
agreements;
    (6) the status of and current plans for the periodic review 
board process; and
    (7) an assessment of any collateral impacts to the 
detention process and proceedings at Guantanamo that have 
occurred as a result of the lack of transfers.

          Special Operations Forces Professionalism and Ethics

    In the committee report accompanying the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (H. Rept. 115-200), the 
committee required the Department of Defense to provide a 
briefing containing an assessment of the culture and 
accountability of special operations forces (SOF) due to 
allegations of serious misconduct. Further, section 1066 of the 
John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) required the Assistant Secretary 
of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict to 
conduct a review of ethics and professionalism programs 
available to SOF. This report was provided to the congressional 
defense committees on February 26, 2019, and reiterated the 
finding of a ``disordered value system'' that was identified by 
the Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) after 
an internal survey of allegations of serious misconduct across 
the SOF enterprise in December 2018.
    As a result of the survey findings, the former Commander of 
U.S. Special Operations Command, General Tony Thomas, outlined 
steps SOCOM would take over 90 days. This included a review of 
command climate surveys, reviewing programs of instruction, 
conducting research between trauma and behavioral health, and 
command level engagement with the force, to address the 
``disordered value system'' focused on the individual and team 
rather than a commitment to serve.
    The committee recognizes the efforts of senior SOF 
leadership to maintain and strengthen SOF ethos and urges the 
Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command and the Assistant 
Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity 
Conflict to continue such efforts. However, the committee has 
not been briefed on the results or continuing effort of the 90-
day review and expects to be continually updated. Therefore, 
the committee directs the Commander of U.S. Special Operations 
Command, in coordination with the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict, to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than July 9, 2019, on the 90-day review and provide an 
update on other efforts relating to professionalism and ethics 
of the force.

         Strategy for Operations in the Information Environment

    Operations in the information environment (IE) by state and 
non-state actors, such as Russian cyber intrusions to undermine 
democratic institutions, ISIS's recruitment through 
dissemination of propaganda, or exfiltration of controlled 
unclassified information from the defense industrial base by 
cyber actors affiliated with the People's Republic of China, 
pose a dynamic challenge to U.S. national security. The 
Department of Defense, when appropriate and in concert with the 
interagency, must be prepared to address, defend, and respond 
to actions in the IE that undermine national security across 
the spectrum of warfare and in all types of conflict.
    In June 2016 the Department of Defense issued a strategy 
for operations in the IE to align Departmental actions and 
ensure effective integration of actions across all information 
domains. Section 1637 of the National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) directed the 
Department to develop an implementation plan to support the 
2016 Department of Defense Strategy for Operations in the 
Information Environment and establish processes and procedures 
to better integrate strategic information operations and cyber-
enabled information operations across the relevant elements of 
the Department, including those responsible for military 
deception, public affairs, electronic warfare, and cyber 
operations. Section 1637 of Public Law 115-91 also directed the 
Department of Defense to coordinate regional information 
strategies and interagency coordination plans of the combatant 
commands with the appropriate Department of State officials and 
the Global Engagement Center. Further, this section required 
periodic status reports to the congressional defense committees 
every 90 days on the date the implementation plan required was 
submitted.
    The committee recognizes the efforts of the Assistant 
Secretary of Defense for Special Operations and Low Intensity 
Conflict as well as the Department's Information Operations 
Steering Group, charted in August 2016, relating to the 
requirements of section 1637 of Public Law 115-91 and 
acknowledges the periodic status updates provided to the 
congressional defense committees to date. The committee 
understands the Information Operations Steering Group has 
recommended the 2016 Strategy for Operations in the IE be 
updated and that the Department will issue the new strategy 
sometime this year. The committee expects to be apprised of the 
new strategy and expects the Department to apply the direction 
and requirements of section 1637 of the NDAA for FY 2018 to the 
new strategy. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to brief the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than September 1, 2019, on the status of the existing 
Strategy for Operations in the IE, status of the implementation 
plan and other elements of section 1637 of Public Law 115-91, 
plan for continuing to provide the congressional defense 
committees continuous periodic updates relating to operations 
in the IE, and provide detailed information on existing 
authorities, policies, and doctrine relating to operations in 
the IE.

             Trafficking of Wildlife and Wildlife Products

    The committee is concerned about the financing of terrorism 
and empowerment of transnational organized crime organizations 
through illicit trafficking. One potential source of financing 
includes trafficking in wildlife and wildlife products. The 
illegal trade of endangered and threatened wildlife and their 
parts generates billions of dollars annually. The committee 
notes that profits from the illegal wildlife trade have been 
reported to finance groups such as the Lord's Resistance Army, 
Janjaweed militias, and Boko Haram. The committee, therefore, 
directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the 
Secretary of Homeland Security and Secretary of State, to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services no 
later than March 1, 2020, on the Department's support to United 
States' efforts to combat illicit trafficking that includes 
wildlife and wildlife products.

                         LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS


                     Subtitle A--Financial Matters


                Section 1001--General Transfer Authority

    This section would allow the Secretary of Defense, with 
certain limitations, to make transfers between amounts 
authorized for fiscal year 2020 in division A of this Act. This 
section would limit the total amount transferred under this 
authority to $1.0 billion. This section would also require 
prompt notification to Congress of each transfer made.

Section 1002--Additional Requirements for Annual Report and Briefing on 
            Financial Improvement and Audit Remediation Plan

    This section would amend the annual reporting and 
semiannual briefing requirements contained in section 240b of 
title 10, United States Code, to include a current accounting 
of the defense business systems of the Department of Defense 
that will be introduced, replaced, updated, modified, or 
retired in connection with the audit of the full financial 
statements of the Department, including a comprehensive roadmap 
displaying in-service, retirement, and other pertinent dates 
for affected defense business systems, as well as current cost-
to-complete estimates for each effort.

     Section 1003--Financial Improvement and Audit Remediation Plan

    This section would amend section 240b of title 10, United 
States Code, by updating the elements of annual reports, 
semiannual briefs, and audit remediation services of financial 
improvements and audit remediation plans.

Section 1004--Reporting Requirements Relating to Department of Defense 
                                 Audits

    This section would require an annual report ranking each of 
the military departments and Defense Agencies in order of how 
advanced they are in achieving auditable financial statements 
as required by law. This report would include, for the bottom 
quartile of departments and agencies ranked in the report, an 
additional report describing the material weaknesses of the 
reporting entity, underlying causes of the material weaknesses, 
and a plan for remediation. This section would also require a 
report presenting a plan for achieving an unmodified audit 
opinion on the Department of Defense-wide consolidated audit 
within 5 years.

 Section 1005--Annual Budget Justification Display for Service-Common 
  and Other Support and Enabling Capabilities for Special Operations 
                                 Forces

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a consolidated budget display to Congress annually as 
part of the President's budget request showing service-common 
and other support and enabling capabilities for special 
operations forces (SOF) requested by a military service or 
defense agency.
    The committee appreciates the level of fidelity provided in 
the budget request for Major Force Program (MFP)-11 
administered by U.S. Special Operations Command for SOF-
peculiar and command-specific programs, activities, and 
services. The budget request contained $13.8 billion in MFP-11 
which accounts for 2 percent of the total budget request for 
the Department. According to the Department, service-common 
support and enabling capabilities requested by the military 
departments for SOF contained in the budget request is 
approximately $8.0 billion, bringing the total amount requested 
for SOF to more than $21.0 billion. However, the committee is 
aware that other elements of the Department, such as the 
Defense Threat Reduction Agency, Combating Terrorism and 
Technical Support Office, and Defense Innovation Unit also 
request and expend funds to support SOF that may not be 
reflected in the service-common total. Therefore, the committee 
requires a better understanding of the total amounts requested 
for SOF across the Department and greater consolidated detail 
on such service-common and other enabling capabilities and 
support requested each fiscal year.

            Section 1006--Determination of Budgetary Effects

    This section would state the budgetary effects of this Act 
for the purpose of complying with the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go 
Act of 2010.

Section 1007--Independent Public Accountant Audit of Financial Systems 
                      of the Department of Defense

    This section would direct the Secretary of Defense to 
ensure financial systems of the Department of Defense are 
reviewed by an independent public accountant to validate the 
financial system will meet applicable Federal requirements.

                   Subtitle B--Counterdrug Activities


  Section 1011--Modification of Authority to Provide Support to Other 
     Agencies for Counterdrug Activities and Activities to Counter 
                     Transnational Organized Crime

    This section would modify the authority to provide support 
to other agencies for counterdrug activities and activities to 
counter transnational organized crime and clarify notification 
requirements for support provided under subsection (b).

     Section 1012--Technical Correction and Extension of Reporting 
     Requirement regarding Enhancement of Information Sharing and 
   Coordination of Military Training between Department of Homeland 
                   Security and Department of Defense

    This section would provide a technical correction and 
extend until December 31, 2022, to a report required by section 
1014 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2017 (Public Law 114-328).

 Section 1013--Repeal of Secretary of Defense Review of Curricula and 
        Program Structures of National Guard Counterdrug Schools

    This section would repeal the Secretary of Defense's review 
of National Guard counterdrug school curricula and program 
structures.

                Subtitle C--Naval Vessels and Shipyards


 Section 1021--Transportation by Sea of Supplies for the Armed Forces 
                          and Defense Agencies

    This section would modify section 2631 of title 10, United 
States Code, to expand application of cargo transported by the 
Department of Defense to include defense agencies. 
Additionally, this section would require additional latitude in 
the transportation of fuel products to better expand 
opportunities for U.S. flagged resources.

 Section 1022--Use of National Defense Sealift Fund for Procurement of 
                            Two Used Vessels

    This section would require the Secretary of the Navy to 
seek to enter into a contract for two used vessels for 
mobilization purposes.

Section 1023--Formal Schoolhouse Training for Shipboard System Programs 
                               of Record

    This section would require the Secretary of the Navy to 
ensure there is a formal schoolhouse for all shipboard systems 
that are current programs of record in the fleet.

Section 1024--Report on Shipbuilder Training and the Defense Industrial 
                                  Base

    This section would require the Secretary of the Navy to 
submit a report on how the Navy plans to manage the need to 
grow the shipbuilding workforce as it builds to a 355-ship 
Navy.

                      Subtitle D--Counterterrorism


 Section 1031--Extension of Authority for Joint Task Forces to Provide 
   Support to Law Enforcement Agencies Conducting Counter-Terrorism 
                               Activities

    This section would extend section 1022 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2004 (Public Law 108-
136) from fiscal year 2020 to fiscal year 2022, and make 
technical corrections.

 Section 1032--Prohibition on Use of Funds for Transfer or Release of 
 Individuals Detained at United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, 
                       Cuba, to Certain Countries

    This section would prohibit the use of funding authorized 
to be appropriated or otherwise made available for the 
Department of Defense during the period beginning on the date 
of the enactment of this Act and ending on December 31, 2020, 
to transfer, release, or assist in the transfer or release of 
any individual detained at U.S. Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, 
Cuba, to Libya, Somalia, Syria, Yemen, Cuba, Iran, Russia, 
North Korea, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, and 
Venezuela.

Section 1033--Prohibition on Use of Funds for Transfer to and Detention 
of Additional Individuals, Including United States Citizens, at United 
               States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba

    This section would prohibit the use of funding authorized 
to be appropriated or otherwise made available for the 
Department of Defense during the period beginning on the date 
of the enactment of this Act and ending on December 31, 2020, 
to detain any additional individuals, including United States 
citizens, at the detention facility at the United States Naval 
Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
    This section would prohibit detention of additional 
individuals under the law of war or pursuant to a military 
commission proceeding, and defines additional individuals as 
individuals to be detained at Guantanamo following the most 
recent release of a detainee, pursuant to a plea agreement, in 
May 2018.
    This section would also require a plan identifying a 
disposition other than continued law of war detention at United 
States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, for each individual 
currently detained at Guantanamo.

Section 1034--Sense of Congress regarding the Provision of Medical Care 
to Individuals Detained at United States Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, 
                                  Cuba

    This section would express the sense of Congress that the 
increasing age of detainees at the U.S. Naval Station, 
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, poses challenges for the provision of 
medical care and that the United States has an ongoing 
obligation to provide medical care to detainees at Guantanamo 
that meets appropriate standards of care.
    This section would also express the sense of Congress that 
the Secretary of Defense should take into account the standards 
of care provided at other relevant facilities, including those 
administered by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, when determining 
the policies regarding medical care for detainees at 
Guantanamo.

 Section 1035--Independent Assessment on Gender and Countering Violent 
                               Extremism

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
enter into a contract with a nonprofit entity or a federally 
funded research and development center independent of the 
Department of Defense to conduct research and analysis on the 
intersection of gender and violent extremism and terrorism and 
provide a report to the congressional defense committees on the 
result of the research not later than 2 years after the date of 
the enactment of this Act.

         Subtitle E--MIscellaneous Authorities and Limitations


 Section 1041--Scheduling of Department of Defense Executive Aircraft 
           Controlled by Secretaries of Military Departments

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
ensure there is a common scheduler for the scheduling and 
prioritization of executive airlift across the entire 
Department of Defense.

       Section 1042--Explosive Ordnance Defense Disposal Program

    This section would amend section 2284 of title 10, United 
States Code, to make technical changes regarding the 
responsibilities of the executive agent for the explosive 
ordnance disposal training and technology program. This section 
would also eliminate the requirement to designate a combat 
support agency to manage a defense-wide program element for 
certain explosive ordnance disposal activities.

   Section 1043--Notification on the Provision of Defense Sensitive 
                                Support

    This section would modify section 1055 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328) to provide additional Defense Sensitive Support reporting 
requirements.

 Section 1044--Modification and Technical Correction of Authority for 
 Deployment of Members of the Armed Forces to the Southern Land Border 
                          of the United States

    This section would modify the authority under section 1059 
of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 
(Public Law 114-92) to require the Secretary of Defense to 
fully consider readiness, mission and task alignment to 
requested support, and ensure that support requirements are 
inherently governmental when determining the Department of 
Defense's ability to provide assistance to secure the U.S. 
southern land border. Additionally, this section would add 
reporting requirements.

 Section 1045--Limitation on Use of Funds for the Inactivation of Army 
                            Watercraft Units

    This section would prohibit the use of any funds for fiscal 
year 2020 for the inactivation of an Army watercraft unit until 
the Secretary of Defense has completed a review and the 
findings have been validated by a federally funded research and 
development corporation.

 Section 1046--Prohibition on Use of Funds for Construction of a Wall, 
   Fence, or Other Physical Barrier along the Southern Border of the 
                             United States

    This section would prohibit the obligation, expense, or use 
of funds, that have been authorized to be appropriated for 
national defense in fiscal years 2015 through 2020, to design 
or carry out a project to construct, replace, or modify a wall, 
fence or other physical barrier along the international border 
between the United States and Mexico.

     Section 1047--Expenditure of Funds for Department of Defense 
            Intelligence and Counterintelligence Activities

    This section would authorize the expenditure of no more 
than 5 percent of Military Intelligence Program funds for 
Department of Defense recurring or anticipated intelligence and 
counterintelligence activities for each of the fiscal years 
2020 through 2025. Further, this section would require the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a report of the expenditures 
covered by this authorization for each of the fiscal years 2020 
through 2025.
    This section would provide additional authorization in 
response to section 1041 of the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91), which required 
the Secretary of Defense to clarify use of emergency and 
extraordinary expenses (EEE) for intelligence and 
counterintelligence (CI) activities that were determined not to 
be of an emergent or extraordinary nature. This modification of 
section 423 of title 10, United States Code, attempts to 
normalize limited, controlled spending for the Department's 
intelligence and CI activities while preserving the EEE 
construct for those intelligence and CI expenses that are truly 
emergent and extraordinary, and cannot be classified with an 
established Department of Defense funding program.

 Section 1048--Limitation on Use of Funds to House Children Separated 
                              from Parents

    This section would prohibit amounts made available to the 
Department of Defense for fiscal year 2020 from being used to 
house children separated from their parent or legal guardian by 
Customs and Border Protection near a port of entry or within 
100 miles of the border of the United States.

  Section 1049--Limitation on Use of Funds for Providing Housing for 
                      Unaccompanied Alien Children

    This section would require the Department of Defense to 
submit a congressional certification that any housing provided 
to unaccompanied alien children meets the standards of the 
Department of Health and Human Services, including those 
provided in the Flores settlement agreement, any waivers or 
exceptions to those standards, and identifies any environmental 
hazards and actions to mitigate those hazards.

          Subtitle F--National Defense Strategy Implementation


                       Section 1051--Short Title

    This section would establish that this subtitle may be 
cited as ``the National Defense Strategy Implementation Act''.

   Section 1052--Report on Operational Concepts and Plans Regarding 
                         Strategic Competitors

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
provide to the congressional defense committees, not later than 
February 1, 2020, and biannually thereafter, a report on 
Department of Defense operational concepts and plans regarding 
strategic competitors.

           Section 1053--Actions to Increase Analytic Support

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
direct the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, the Director 
of the Joint Staff, and the Director of Cost Assessment and 
Program Evaluation, in consultation with the head of each 
military service, to jointly develop and implement a plan to 
strengthen necessary analytic capabilities, expertise, and 
processes for meeting the National Defense Strategy.

                       Section 1054--Definitions

    This section would define the terms ``operational 
challenges'' and ``strategic competitors'' for the purposes of 
this subtitle.

                    Subtitle G--Studies and Reports


 Section 1061--Report on Transfers of Equipment to Prohibited Entities

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Secretary of State, to submit an annual 
report on the transfer of defense articles to any unit 
committing a gross violation of human rights or any group or 
organization prohibited from receiving assistance from the 
United States during the preceding year. This section would 
also require a one time report on transfers during the period 
beginning on January, 1, 2015 and ending on the date of 
enactment of this Act.

Section 1062--Elimination of Requirement to Submit Reports to Congress 
                            in Paper Format

    This section would enable the Department of Defense to 
provide reports required by the Congress in an electronic 
format rather than a paper format. By eliminating the 
requirement of the delivery of congressional reports in paper 
format, the Department of Defense would be able to streamline 
the reporting process both within the Department and in 
delivery of its reports to the Congress.

 Section 1063--Modification of Annual Report on Civilian Casualties in 
           Connection with United States Military Operations

    This section would modify section 1057 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-
91), as most recently amended by section 1062 of the John S. 
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 
(Public Law 115-232), by adding additional elements and 
extending the reporting requirement.

    Section 1064--Inclusion of Certain Individuals Investigated by 
              Inspectors General in the Semiannual Report

    This section would require the Inspector General of the 
Department of Defense to include the already-public names of 
senior officials who commit misconduct in quarterly reports.

   Section 1065--Annual Report on Joint Military Information Support 
                    Operations Web Operations Center

    This section would require the Commander of U.S. Special 
Operations Command (SOCOM) to provide an annual report to the 
congressional defense committees not later than December 1 of 
each year on the Joint Military Information Support Operations 
(MISO) Web Operations Center (JMWC). The report shall include a 
description of MISO activities hosted by the JMWC, activities 
conducted to achieve initial operating capability and full 
operational capability, measures of effectiveness, 
infrastructure, leveraging lessons learned across the platform, 
number of personnel, and synchronization of efforts across the 
interagency and with international partners, as appropriate.
    The committee supports efforts to improve the effectiveness 
and efficiency of MISO programs. However, the committee is 
concerned the current plan for establishment of the JMWC is 
focused on consolidation rather than efficiencies and lacks 
focus on efforts to leverage lessons learned and implement 
measures of effectiveness across the geographic combatant 
commands.

          Section 1066--Mobility Capability Requirement Study

    This section would require the Commander, U.S. 
Transportation Command to submit a report and a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by January 1, 2021, with an 
interim update by June 1, 2020, assessing the operational risk 
for meeting the mobility requirements of the geographic 
combatant commanders.

     Section 1067--Assessment of Special Operations Force Structure

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
enter into an agreement with a federally funded research and 
development center for the conduct of an independent assessment 
of the force structure and roles and responsibilities of 
special operations forces and to submit the assessment to the 
congressional defense committees not later than July 1, 2020.

  Section 1068--Army Aviation Strategic Plan and Modernization Roadmap

    This section would require the Secretary of the Army to 
provide a comprehensive strategy to the congressional defense 
committees by March 30, 2020, for Army aviation to ensure 
alignment between requirements, future Army budget submissions, 
and authorization of appropriations. The required strategy 
would cover both current and future multi-domain operations for 
Army aviation.
    The fiscal year 2020 budget request for the Army included 
several significant changes to aviation modernization programs. 
While these changes may align with the long-term Army aviation 
strategy, the committee is concerned with the absence of such a 
strategy that incorporates both current and future 
capabilities.

 Section 1069--Report on Ground-Based Long-Range Artillery to Counter 
                       Land and Maritime Threats

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a report to the congressional defense committees not 
later than March 1, 2020, on the integration of emerging long 
range ground-based fires to counter land and maritime threats, 
particularly those in the U.S. Indo-Pacific Command and U.S. 
European Command areas of responsibility.

Section 1070--Independent Review of Transportation Working-Capital Fund

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Secretaries of the military departments, 
to contract with an independent federally funded research and 
development center to conduct a review of the Transportation 
Working Capital-Fund (TWCF) of the U.S. Transportation Command.
    The committee is disappointed to learn that U.S. 
Transportation Command has delayed the implementation of the 
changes that were mandated by the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) as 
it pertains to the management of the channel system. The 
channel system was designed to be a revenue generator for the 
TWCF but has consistently failed to meet this objective. The 
U.S. Transportation Command has done a poor job of projecting 
overhead costs and cargo as it relates to the channel system 
which has resulted in the military services budgeting 
incorrectly for the costs associated with using the channel 
system. The committee believes that rather than having the 
military services budget for the cost of using the channel 
system which then flow to the TWCF, U.S. Transportation Command 
should improve their cost projections and budget directly for 
them. The committee is also concerned that there has not been 
adequate oversight of where excess TWCF funds have been 
allocated. The committee expects U.S. Transportation Command to 
better disclose where excess TWCF funds are being allocated in 
the future.

  Section 1071--Geographic Command Risk Assessment of Proposed Use of 
                     Certain Aircraft Capabilities

    This section would require selected commanders of 
geographic combatant commands to provide a report to the 
congressional defense committees not later than March 31, 2020, 
that assesses the level of operational risk posed by the plans 
of the Department of the Air Force and the Department of the 
Navy to provide a mix of fifth generation and advanced fourth 
generation tactical aircraft capabilities to meet each 
commanders' contingency and steady-state operational 
requirements.

Section 1072--Annual Report on Strikes Undertaken by the United States 
     Against Terrorist Targets Outside Areas of Active Hostilities

    This section would require an annual report to Congress not 
later than May 1 of each year on the number of strikes 
undertaken by the United States against terrorist targets 
outside areas of active hostilities during the preceding 
calendar year, as well as assessments of combatant and non-
combatant deaths resulting from those strikes.

 Section 1073--Termination of Requirement for Submittal to Congress of 
                       Certain Recurring Reports

    This section would terminate certain recurring reports 
effective December 30, 2021.

                       Subtitle H--Other Matters


      Section 1081--Technical, Conforming, and Clerical Amendments

    This section would make a number of technical, conforming, 
and clerical amendments of a non-substantive nature to existing 
law.

 Section 1082--Submission to Congress of Department of Defense Execute 
                                 Orders

    This section would add a new section in chapter 2 of title 
10, United States Code, that would require the Secretary of 
Defense to provide to the chairman and ranking member of each 
of the congressional defense committees, and their designated 
staff with the appropriate security clearance, copies of each 
execute order issued by the Secretary or by a commander of a 
combatant command before the date of the enactment of this Act, 
and within 30 days of issuing an execute order after the date 
of the enactment of this Act.

 Section 1083--Extension of National Security Commission on Artificial 
                              Intelligence

    This section would modify reporting requirements for the 
National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence, as 
established in section 1051 of the John S. McCain National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-
232) by 180 days and extend the termination date to March 1, 
2021.

     Section 1084--National Commission on Military Aviation Safety

    This section would amend section 1087 of the John S. McCain 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public 
Law 115-232) to extend the deadline to December 1, 2020, for 
the National Commission on Military Aviation Safety to submit 
its final report. In addition, this section would require the 
Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretaries of 
the military departments, to provide a report that assesses the 
commission's findings and conclusions, as well as details any 
plans for implementing recommendations made by the commission 
and any other actions being taken to improve military aviation 
safety. Finally, this section would authorize $3.0 million in 
fiscal year 2020 for the commission's operations.

  Section 1085--Extension of Postage Stamp for Breast Cancer Research

    This section would amend section 414 of title 39, United 
States Code, by authorizing the extension of the postage stamp 
for breast cancer research until 2027.

  Section 1086--Processes and Procedures for Notifications regarding 
                       Special Operations Forces

    This section would mandate the Secretary of Defense 
establish and submit processes and procedures for providing 
notifications to the congressional defense committees regarding 
members of special operations forces. This section would also 
mandate that the processes and procedures include clarification 
of the roles and responsibilities of the Secretaries of the 
military departments, the Assistant Secretary of Defense for 
Special Operations and Low Intensity Conflict, and the 
Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command in providing such 
notifications to Congress.
    The Secretaries of the military departments provide 
notification to the congressional defense committees regarding 
members of the Armed Forces who receive awards of valor, 
demonstrate acts of heroism, are killed or wounded in action or 
while on duty, are alleged to have committed serious offenses 
punishable under the Uniform Code of Military Justice, are 
involved in high-profile incidents, and for other matters of 
interest.
    However, the committee notes that ambiguity regarding the 
roles and responsibilities of the Secretaries of the military 
departments, the Commander of U.S. Special Operations Command, 
and the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Special Operations 
and Low Intensity Conflict relating to notifications involving 
special operations forces have resulted in inconsistent, or 
lack of, notifications. For example, the congressional defense 
committees were not provided notifications of reprimands issued 
as a result of the investigation into the incident in Niger in 
2017.
    The committee expects processes and procedures established 
under this provision to be consistent with the processes for 
notifications involving the conventional forces and to account 
for the privacy of members of the Armed Forces.

   Section 1087--Assessment of Standards, Processes, Procedures, and 
                 Policy Relating to Civilian Casualties

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
enter into an agreement with a federally funded research and 
development center for conduct of an independent assessment of 
the sufficiency of Department of Defense standards, processes, 
procedures, and policy relating to civilian casualties 
resulting from United States military operations.

                Section 1088--Disposal of IPv4 Addresses

    This section would require the Department of Defense to 
sell certain IPv4 addresses at fair market value. This section 
would also require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report 
to the congressional defense committees not later than 180 days 
after the date of the enactment of this Act on the disposal of 
certain IPv4 addresses, an accounting of the total number of 
IPv4 address holdings of the Department of Defense, and the 
plan of the Secretary to transition all Department addresses to 
IPv6. Finally, this section would limit the obligation or 
expenditure of funds for fiscal year 2020 to 70 percent of 
funds for the Office of the Secretary of Defense for travel 
until the Secretary submits this report.

         Section 1089--Securing American Science and Technology

    This section would establish an interagency working group 
to coordinate activities for the protection of federally funded 
research and development from foreign interference while 
accounting for an exchange of ideas and for the international 
talent required for scientific progress and American leadership 
in science.

  Section 1090--Standardized Policy Guidance for Calculating Aircraft 
                    Operation and Sustainment Costs

    This section would require the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Acquisition and Sustainment to develop and implement 
standardized policy guidance for calculating aircraft operation 
and sustainment costs for the Department of Defense.

    Section 1091--Special Federal Aviation Regulation Working Group

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense, the 
Secretary of Transportation, and the Secretary of State to 
establish a Special Federal Aviation Regulation interagency 
working group to review the current options for the Department 
of Defense to use contracted U.S. civil aviation to provide 
support for Department of Defense missions in areas where a 
Federal Aviation Administration Special Federal Aviation 
Regulation is in effect.

                  TITLE XI--CIVILIAN PERSONNEL MATTERS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                     Civilian Sexual Assault Study

    The committee is concerned about sexual harassment and 
assault prevention and response procedures within the civilian 
workforce of the Department of Defense. The committee notes 
that civilian employees report harassment and assault at higher 
rates than their uniformed counterparts, and in some instances 
express dissatisfaction with their management's handling of 
these complaints.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to submit a report to the congressional 
defense committees by March 1, 2020, on the Department of 
Defense sexual assault and harassment prevention and response 
system for civilian employees. This report shall include, but 
is not limited to, the following elements:
    (1) the utilization rate of the sexual assault services by 
civilian employees;
    (2) an assessment of the quality and timing of preventive 
training;
    (3) the staffing level of the prevention and response 
systems, Department of Defense counselors, victim advocates, 
and special victims counsels for civilian employee sexual 
assault victims; and
    (4) a comparison of the resources to those available for 
military personnel.

           Department of Defense Report on Reduction in Force

    The committee notes that section 1101 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-
92) required the Secretary of Defense to establish procedures 
to require that any reduction in force for civilian positions 
for the competitive service or the excepted service be 
conducted primarily on the basis of performance under any 
applicable performance management system. The committee also 
notes that the ``New Beginnings'' performance management and 
workforce incentive system was authorized by section 1113 of 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2010 
(Public Law 111-84) in conjunction with the repeal of the 
National Security Personnel System.
    The committee believes the impacts of these significant 
changes to civilian workforce policy in the Department of 
Defense should be identified and reviewed for any necessary 
modification. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees by March 1, 2020, concerning all involuntary 
civilian reductions in force conducted on or after January 1, 
2016, broken out by Department of Defense component. The report 
should illustrate the number of employees separated, the number 
of employees separated because of less favorable performance 
evaluations, and the demographics of each group.

   Direct Hire Authority Clarification for Support Defense Activities

    The committee notes that Subsection (a) of section 1125 of 
the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 
granted temporary direct hire authority for domestic defense 
industrial base facilities and major range and test facilities 
bases. Furthermore, section 1101 of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019, implemented direct hire 
authority across the Department. These changes have sped up 
hiring, brought employees on faster, and increased productivity 
at Air Force Depots.
    The committee notes that these changes to section 1125 and 
1101 intended to cover positions that work on and support 
defense activities for the defense industrial base or the major 
range and test facilities bases. Positions that support the 
Depots themselves, for example, plumbers, electricians, 
exterior maintenance, finance, etc., are currently not covered 
by the changes in section 1125 and section 1101. These types of 
employees, although not doing direct depot work, directly 
support and enable the operation of the depot.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report on the effects of the current interpretation 
of section 1125, specifically the challenges faced by the Air 
Force due to inadequate direct hire authority for positions 
that support defense activities for the defense industrial base 
or the major range and test facilities bases.

                   Optimizing Total Force Management

    The Department of Defense's Fiscal Year 2020 budget request 
explains that the size and composition of its civilian 
workforce is shaped to reflect changes commensurate with the 
Department's military force structure and its civilian 
workforce is key to warfighter readiness. However, when the 
committee examined the workforce projections of the Department 
of Defense, it found the civilian workforce increases by 0.7 
percent from fiscal year 2019 to 2020, while Active Component 
End Strength increases by 6.2 percent and Reserve Component End 
Strength by 1.5 percent.
    Therefore, given these workforce mix decisions, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to contract with a 
federal funded research and development center to review the 
Department's force structure decision-making processes in the 
Office of Secretary of Defense, Joint Staff and in each of the 
Military Departments to verify the Department is planning, 
programing and budgeting for a force structure that optimizes 
lethality by using military for warfighting functions and 
ensures that planned operational capabilities are fully 
executable and sustainable.
    This review should include recommendations, and, as a 
minimum, include:
    (1) an identification of best practices as well as 
impediments to the optimum sizing of each component of the 
Total Force of active military, reserve component military, 
civilian workforce, host nation support, and contract support;
    (2) recommendations on how to leverage the Military 
Department's modeling efforts in order to achieve a more 
balanced Total Force mix, and;
    (3) the effects of Full Time Equivalent (FTE) caps and 
associated business processes resulting from either legislation 
or Departmental policy or practice that would impede the use of 
more holistic analytical tools for linking the enabling 
civilian to supported force structure.
    The report should be provided and briefed to the Armed 
Services Committees not later than February 1, 2021.

                Readiness and Borrowed Military Manpower

    The committee notes that the Report of the Defense Science 
Board Task Force on Readiness concluded that in order to 
achieve and sustain readiness it was essential to consider, not 
just the amount of hardware but key manpower issues such as the 
active-reserve mix, retention, training, and the sufficiency of 
supporting government civilians. The task force also concluded 
borrowed military manpower results in a loss of unit 
cohesiveness, reduced training efficiency, and lowered 
readiness.
    The committee questions whether the Department of Defense 
continues to divert service members from their unit assignments 
to perform nonmilitary functions which could be performed by 
civilian employees.
    Therefore, the committee directs the United States 
Comptroller General to submit a report to the congressional 
defense committees by April 1st, 2020 assessing the level and 
impacts of borrowed military manpower.
    This report should include the following elements:
    (1) An analysis of the diversions of Soldiers, Sailors, 
Airmen or Marines from their unit assignments and or their 
military occupational specialties, to perform non-military 
essential functions which could be performed by civilian 
employees.
    (2) A review the Department's tracking of borrowed military 
manpower in its readiness reporting systems and an assessment 
of the impact this is having on both the Department's ability 
to manage the Total Force, and the readiness effects of 
``missing'', but unreported manpower.

     The Department of Defense's Use of Term and Temporary Hiring 
                              Authorities

    The Committee questions if the Department of Defense's 
Congressionally appropriated overseas contingency operations 
funds, exempt from The Budget Control Act of 2011 (P.L. 112-
25), are funding enduring missions in support of the National 
Defense Strategy which is resulting in inappropriate use of 
term and temporary hiring authorities for enduring missions.
    Furthermore, the Committee questions whether there are 
cases where term and temporary hiring authorities are being 
misused in cases when the funding for the program directly 
supports the National Defense Strategy and is funded over the 
Future Year Defense Program with an enduring funding line.
    Lastly, the Committee is concerned that this creates a 
scenario for the Department of Defense to inappropriately 
circumvent title 5 due process and whistleblower protections 
and extend probationary periods.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to submit a report to the congressional 
defense committees by March 1st, 2020 reviewing the 
Department's use of term and temporary hiring authorities for 
enduring missions and analyzing the degree to which this is 
resulting from the misuse of overseas contingency operations 
funding or efforts to inappropriately extend probationary 
periods.

             TITLE XII--MATTERS RELATING TO FOREIGN NATIONS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


            Assessment, Monitoring, and Evaluation Resources

    The committee is concerned that the amount identified in 
the fiscal year 2020 budget request for assessment, monitoring, 
and evaluation (AM&E) of security cooperation programs is 
insufficient to meet congressional intent. The committee 
believes that the Department of Defense's prioritization and 
resourcing of AM&E of security cooperation programs has been 
vastly inadequate in recent years and has not kept pace with 
the significant growth of and emphasis on security cooperation 
capacity building programs and associated funding. The 
committee expects the Department's AM&E program to be rigorous 
and comprehensive, and to be incorporated into security 
cooperation programs from inception to completion to measure 
outcomes against defined objectives. Further, the committee 
expects that an effective AM&E program will include independent 
evaluations and capture lessons learned, which are critical to 
improving the effectiveness and efficiency of subsequent 
security cooperation efforts. The committee expects independent 
evaluations to be conducted by individuals who are not also 
conducting monitoring of security cooperation capacity building 
programs. The committee further expects the Department to 
allocate sufficient resources to accomplish these objectives in 
future budget requests.

                 Briefing on Afghanistan Reconciliation

    The committee is aware that reconciliation talks have begun 
between the United States and the Taliban regarding a 
negotiated peace in Afghanistan. The committee supports the 
objectives of the South Asia strategy to create the conditions 
to support a political settlement in Afghanistan, and the 
efforts of the Special Representative for Afghanistan 
Reconciliation, the Secretary of State, and the Commander, 
Resolute Support Mission, to engage in reconciliation talks. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Secretary of State and the Director of 
National Intelligence, to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by October 1, 2019, on the status 
of the U.S reconciliation negotiations with the Taliban and 
progress toward an intra-Afghan dialogue between the Afghan 
Government and the Taliban, as well as any potential shifts in 
the posture of the U.S. Armed Forces in Afghanistan as a result 
of successful negotiations. Such briefing shall also include 
the following elements with respect to the extent to which 
Taliban leaders present at the reconciliation talks:
    (1) maintain active association with terrorist 
organizations inside and outside of Afghanistan;
    (2) support the legitimacy of the Government of 
Afghanistan;
    (3) commit to maintaining societal gains advanced in the 
past 18 years including: protecting the rights of women and 
girls to access public healthcare, hold property, access 
education, and have freedom of movement;
    (4) commit to stop receiving funds and military support 
from non-Afghan governments or organizations;
    (5) will assist and be an active participant with the 
Government of Afghanistan in future counterterrorism 
operations; and
    (6) any other matter the Secretary of Defense considers 
appropriate.

   Briefing on Defense Department Plans for the European Deterrence 
                               Initiative

    The committee continues to support the European Deterrence 
Initiative (EDI) and seeks to ensure a sustained U.S. 
commitment to deterrence in Europe at levels appropriate to the 
challenges at hand. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Commander, U.S. 
European Command, to provide a briefing to the House Committee 
on Armed Services not later than October 30, 2019. The briefing 
shall include the following:
    (1) a thorough explanation of the plans and assumptions 
underlying the future years plan for EDI that was submitted to 
Congress pursuant to section 1237(a) of the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91);
    (2) a thorough explanation of the current plans and 
assumptions for EDI over the next 5 years, based on the 
planning that informed the fiscal year 2020 budget request for 
EDI;
    (3) a comparison identifying and explaining the differences 
and similarities between the plans and assumptions identified 
in (1) and (2);
    (4) a detailed explanation of the rationale and 
implications of any changes in the plans and assumptions 
identified in (1) and (2); and
    (5) any other matters the Secretary considers appropriate.

  Comptroller General Review of Posture to Counter Russian Aggression

    The National Defense Strategy highlights challenges to the 
sovereignty and integrity of North Atlantic Treaty Organization 
(NATO) members posed by Russian aggression across all 
warfighting domains. NATO remains the foundation of trans-
Atlantic security, and the committee supports U.S. engagement 
with our NATO allies. Since 2014, Congress has funded the 
European Deterrence Initiative (EDI) to strengthen our 
partnerships and deter Russian aggression by increasing the 
presence of U.S. forces and prepositioned equipment in Europe, 
improving infrastructure, supporting NATO enhanced forward 
presence deployments, and sponsoring multinational training and 
exercises. In testimony before the committee, the Commander of 
U.S. European Command stated these efforts have improved 
readiness and helped deter Russian aggression, but stressed the 
need to further augment U.S. ground, air, maritime and cyber 
forces and capabilities, and invest in NATO's logistical 
infrastructure and capacity.
    Recognizing the long-term commitment to preserving peace 
and stability in Europe, the committee supports a strategy to 
counter Russian aggression, deter conflict, and achieve victory 
in a conventional conflict if deterrence fails. However, given 
the incremental approach taken under EDI to date, the committee 
is concerned that the options for meeting the force structure, 
posture, and readiness requirements to implement such a 
strategy have not been fully assessed. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Comptroller General of the United States to assess 
the extent to which the Department of Defense has evaluated its 
force structure and posture options for countering Russian 
aggression in Europe. At a minimum, this review should assess 
the extent to which the Department of Defense has:
    (1) assessed requirements for land, air, maritime, space, 
and cyber capabilities and force structure;
    (2) evaluated the strategic, operational, and tactical 
benefits and costs of different posture options, including 
forward stationed forces and rotational deployments;
    (3) assessed the strategic lift, intra-theater mobility, 
infrastructure, and logistical support requirements and costs 
for different posture options; and
    (4) factored in how U.S. Armed Forces would integrate with 
NATO enhanced forward presence and other forces.
    The Comptroller General shall provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 1, 2020, 
on preliminary findings of the review, and to present final 
results in a format and timeframe agreed to at the time of the 
briefing.

              Implementation of Taiwan's Defense Strategy

    The committee recognizes that April 10, 2019, marks the 
40th anniversary of the Taiwan Relations Act of 1979 (Public 
Law 96-8). The committee believes: (1) the Taiwan Relations Act 
and the Six Assurances are both cornerstones of United States 
relations with Taiwan; (2) the United States should strengthen 
defense cooperation with Taiwan to support the development of 
capable, ready, and modern defense forces necessary for Taiwan 
to maintain a sufficient self-defense capability; (3) the 
United States should promote policies concerning exchanges that 
enhance the security of Taiwan, including opportunities for 
practical training and military exercises with Taiwan and 
exchanges between senior defense officials and general officers 
of the United States and Taiwan consistent with the Taiwan 
Travel Act (Public Law 115-135); and (4) the United States 
should transfer defense articles to Taiwan to improve Taiwan's 
self-defense capability.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Secretary of State, to provide a report 
to the congressional defense committees, the House Committee on 
Foreign Affairs, and the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations 
not later than October 1, 2019, on activities to support 
Taiwan's implementation of its defense strategy.
    At a minimum, the report shall include:
    (1) an assessment of existing and likely future threats to 
Taiwan, and Taiwan's implementation of its defense strategy;
    (2) a discussion of the Department's current and future 
plans to support Taiwan's efforts to develop and integrate 
self-defense capabilities against such threats into its 
military forces;
    (3) a discussion of how the transfer of defense articles to 
Taiwan are tailored to meet Taiwan's self-defense needs;
    (4) a description of senior-level engagement with Taiwan, 
including defense engagement, and how such engagements enhance 
Taiwan's self-defense capabilities;
    (5) a description of the Department's efforts to support 
Taiwan's resilience to information or influence operations; and
    (6) any other matters the Secretary of Defense determines 
should be included.

         Insufficiency of the United States Strategy for Syria

    The committee is concerned that the United States Strategy 
for Syria expresses objectives that cannot be achieved with the 
means identified. The committee urges the Department of 
Defense, in coordination with other relevant departments and 
agencies, to review the strategy to better scope its objectives 
in accordance with a realistic assessment of the activities to 
which the administration is willing to commit, appropriately 
bounded within the authorities granted by the Congress.
    The committee is also concerned that non-military lines of 
effort to achieve U.S. objectives in Syria, as defined by the 
United States Strategy for Syria, lack the resources necessary 
to reach a stable solution in Syria that provides for a lasting 
defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria to include the 
countering of violent extremist ideology, and resolves the 
instability and insecurity that drives perennial insurgency and 
terrorism in the region. The committee urges the administration 
to ensure that a whole-of-government approach to these 
objectives is operationalized and properly resourced in order 
to achieve lasting peace in the region.

North Atlantic Treaty Organization Cooperative Cyber Defense Center of 
                               Excellence

    The committee supports the efforts of the North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization (NATO) Cooperative Cyber Defense Center of 
Excellence (CCDCOE) and encourages the Department of Defense to 
collaborate fully with the Center. The committee notes that the 
CCDCOE can play a unique role by increasing and improving cyber 
cooperation, joint exercises, and policy development within 
NATO. Recent studies and analyses from the CCDCOE, such as the 
report on 5th Generation (5G) communications technologies and 
the report on Principles of Cyber Deterrence, are advancing 
important policy and technical conversations within NATO and 
across a broader technical community. However, the committee is 
concerned that an executive agent has yet to be appointed to 
serve as a proponent for the COE's important work. The 
committee urges the Department of Defense to continue to work 
with the interagency and utilize the CCDCOE to improve NATO's 
ability to counter and mitigate the threat of malign influence 
by Russian and other malign actors in cyberspace. The committee 
further encourages the CCDCOE to engage in research in enabling 
emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum 
computing, and other related areas.
    Additionally, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than March 1, 2020, on ways to improve cyber 
capabilities within NATO, including enhancing the capacity and 
resourcing of, and coordination with, the CCDCOE.

 North Atlantic Treaty Organization Strategic Communications Center of 
                               Excellence

    The committee supports the efforts of the North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization (NATO) Strategic Communications Center of 
Excellence (SCCOE), but remains concerned that the United 
States has not fully resourced or participated in this 
important COE. As the conferees noted in the conference report 
accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2018 (H. Rept. 115-404), by not actively participating, 
the Department of Defense is unable to shape the long-term 
agenda for research, exercises, and policy development. 
Furthermore, the Department is unable to embed personnel to 
gain experience or insight that can only be acquired by working 
side-by-side. The committee notes that the SCCOE can play a 
unique role by increasing cooperation for strategic 
communications within NATO and broader alliances, and provide 
research that directly addresses the many problems facing U.S. 
forces operating in the information environment. The committee 
urges the Department of Defense to work with the SCCOE and the 
interagency to improve NATO's ability to counter and mitigate 
disinformation, active measures, propaganda, and denial and 
deception activities of Russian and other malign actors. The 
committee further urges the Department of Defense to assign 
executive agent responsibilities to an appropriate organization 
within the Department of Defense to ensure effective partnering 
and advocacy for the COE.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than March 1, 2020, on ways to improve strategic 
communications within NATO, including enhancing the capacity of 
and coordination with the NATO Strategic Communications Center 
of Excellence.

 Political Inclusion and the Safe Return of Iraqi Internally Displaced 
                         Persons to Their Homes

    The committee recognizes the importance of the Government 
of Iraq affording its entire population, including Christians, 
Yezidis, and other ethnic minorities, sufficient access to 
security and political inclusion and representation within the 
Iraqi Government. The committee calls upon the Department of 
Defense to continue strengthening the institutions of Iraqi 
national defense to ensure that they are capable and positioned 
to absorb local populations, particularly at-risk minority 
populations, into their ranks, in order to provide security 
that is representative of the communities that Iraqi security 
forces are tasked to defend and secure. The committee is 
committed to supporting a sovereign and democratic Iraq at 
peace with its neighbors and safe for its citizens, regardless 
of their religion, sect, or ethnicity, and the safe and 
voluntary return of Iraq's internally displaced population to 
their homes.

   Report on Chinese Efforts Targeting Democratic Elections and U.S. 
  Alliances and Partnerships and Strategy to Counter Chinese Election 
                              Interference

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Director of National Intelligence, the 
Secretary of State, and the Secretary of Homeland Security, to 
provide a report to the congressional defense committees, the 
congressional intelligence committees, the House Committee on 
Foreign Affairs, the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, the

          Report on Effective Security Sector Assistance Tools

    The committee notes the United States has used a variety of 
security sector assistance tools to support partner forces in 
the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria 
since 2015. The purpose and scope of this assistance has 
changed over time. The committee recognizes that there may be 
other, potentially more effective means of assisting and 
building lasting capabilities within U.S. military partner 
forces.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Secretary of State, to provide a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
September 30, 2019, that analyzes the use of security sector 
assistance in the campaign to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq 
and Syria and the effectiveness of these tools for building 
partner capacity. The report should specifically review 
stipends as a security sector assistance tool and provide a 
comparison of stipends and other avenues of security sector 
assistance such as training and equipping. The report should 
identify other examples in which stipends have been used as a 
tool of security sector assistance, if applicable, the 
effectiveness of those cases, and whether stipend payments were 
transitioned to other security sector assistance methods. The 
report should further address the impact of stipends on the 
ability to pursue effective institutional capacity building 
within military partner institutions.

Report on U.S. Central Command's Accounting For and Management of Funds 
              Received from Foreign Partners for Services

    The committee is concerned that U.S. Central Command was 
unable to properly account for the fuel and in-flight refueling 
services that were delivered to the Saudi-led coalition in 
support of its conflict against the Houthis in Yemen. The 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report 
to the House Committee on Armed Services, not later than 
September 30, 2019, on how U.S. Central Command accounts for 
and collects monies owed and received from foreign, non-
coalition partners for goods and services rendered through 
acquisition and cross-servicing agreements and other potential 
avenues of exchange. Further, the report should include the 
command's process and procedures for tracking goods and 
services delivered and under what circumstances or conditions 
reimbursement for goods and services is not sought from foreign 
countries.

               Report on U.S. Military Activity in Syria

    The committee remains concerned by the Administration's 
lack of clarity regarding the U.S. military strategy in Syria. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than September 30, 2019, on all activities being 
undertaken by the U.S. military in Syria and conditions that 
the Department of Defense seeks to achieve before the U.S. 
military withdraws from Syria. The report should include any 
current plans and associated timelines for withdrawal. The 
report should further assess the status of al-Qaeda and the 
Islamic State of Iraq and Syria within Syria. The report should 
be submitted in unclassified form but may include a classified 
annex.

      Report on U.S. Military Training with the Republic of Korea

    The committee recognizes combined force readiness is a 
requirement for maintaining a credible deterrent on the Korean 
Peninsula. The committee will continue to review the 
adjustments made to U.S. military training and exercise 
programs involving the Republic of Korea.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services by December 31, 
2019, on U.S. military exercises involving the Republic of

 Report on U.S. Strategy to Respond to Russian Threats in the Black Sea

    The committee is concerned by Russia's attack on Ukrainian 
vessels near the Kerch Strait that occurred on November 25, 
2018, by its ongoing detention of Ukrainian sailors in the 
aftermath of that event, and by Russia's aggressive policies in 
the Black Sea region. Russia's actions pose a threat to lawful 
navigation in the Black Sea and Ukrainian sovereignty.
    The committee is also concerned by Russia's ongoing illegal 
occupation of Crimea, its ongoing efforts to intimidate U.S. 
allies and partners in the Black Sea region, its buildup of 
military resources that could impinge on the sovereignty and 
freedom of navigation of countries in the Black Sea region, its 
efforts to interfere in regional elections and political 
systems, and its efforts to use the region as a vector to 
facilitate malign activities in the Balkans and other parts of 
Europe. The committee condemns Russia's actions and reaffirms 
the commitment of the United States, in coordination with its 
allies and partners, to countering Russian aggression and 
deterring actions that impinge on the sovereign rights of U.S. 
allies and partners in the Black Sea area.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Secretary of State, to submit a report 
to the congressional defense committees and the Committee on 
Foreign Affairs of the House of Representatives and the 
Committee on Foreign Relations of the Senate, not later than 
October 15, 2019, on the United States strategy to counter 
Russian threats in the Black Sea. At a minimum, the report 
should address the following issues:
    (1) the strategy for the United States, in concert with 
allies and partners, to counter aggressive actions by Russia 
and ensure freedom of navigation pursuant to international law 
and uphold the navigation rights of allies and partners in the 
Black Sea region;
    (2) the strategy to coordinate with the North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization on a long-term roadmap to counter 
aggression and uphold lawful navigation rights in the Black Sea 
region;
    (3) the strategy to reinforce the credibility of U.S. 
commitment to and strengthen the capabilities of allies and 
partners in the Black Sea region;
    (4) the strategy to counter malign influence by Russia and 
reinforce democratic governance, the rule of law, and shared 
values in the Black Sea region;
    (5) an assessment of Russian military capabilities, 
including naval capabilities, in and around the Black Sea, and 
a strategy to counter those capabilities;
    (6) an assessment of any deficiencies in Ukraine's naval 
capabilities which could be enhanced through existing 
authorities; and
    (7) any recommended legislative initiatives that could 
enhance the ability of the United States to accomplish U.S. and 
allied goals in the Black Sea region.

              Security Cooperation Programs and Activities

    The committee notes that the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) enacted 
comprehensive reforms of the Department of Defense security 
cooperation programs and activities. These reforms empowered 
the Secretary of Defense to designate an individual to oversee 
strategic policy and guidance and to have responsibility for 
overall resource allocation for security cooperation programs 
and activities of the Department. Such reforms further enabled 
the Department to align security cooperation programs and 
activities in support of broader defense strategy and plans, as 
well as to better integrate title 10, United States Code, 
security cooperation activities into the broader United States 
Government approach to security sector assistance.
    When enacting these reforms, the conferees noted that the 
Department's security cooperation activities over the last 15 
years emphasized building the capacity of partner forces at the 
tactical and operational level and, further, that such 
activities achieved suboptimal outcomes and resulted in missed 
opportunities. The committee is concerned that, despite 
empowering an individual to oversee resource allocation and 
enabling the Department to align programs and activities toward 
strategic objectives, the Department has devoted insufficient 
attention and prioritization of resources toward those 
objectives since the fiscal year 2017 reforms. The committee 
notes that the Department's notifications to Congress of 
security cooperation programs and activities have not 
adequately demonstrated trade-offs among priorities, effective 
management of resources, or sufficient planning and 
synchronization to support strategic objectives.
    Elsewhere in this report, the committee addresses the 
Department's insufficient emphasis and allocation of resources 
to assess, monitor, and evaluate its programs and activities 
despite the increase in resources for the Department's security 
cooperation programs and activities. The committee expects 
future notifications of security cooperation programs and 
activities to demonstrate effective management and 
prioritization of resources toward strategic objectives.

         Security Cooperation with the Pacific Island Countries

    The Committee recognizes that continued and further 
cooperation with Pacific Island countries is critical to 
American national security. Given their strategic location in 
Oceania, Pacific Island states are vital participants in, and 
contributors to, a free and open Indo-Pacific. The Committee 
strongly supports further United States collaboration with 
Pacific Island nations economically, politically, and 
strategically, particularly in concert with Australia and New 
Zealand.
    The Committee therefore directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and 
House of Representatives, not later than January 1, 2020, a 
report detailing steps the United States is taking to enhance 
collaboration with Pacific Island countries, including security 
cooperation and the feasibility of facilitating the 
establishment of multinational open-source intelligence centers 
to enhance information sharing processes with Pacific Island 
countries on issues of local concern. The report should be in 
unclassified form and include options to involve likeminded 
partners such as Australia, New Zealand, Japan, and France.

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public 
Law 115-232) to prohibit the use of funds authorized to be 
appropriated by this Act to reduce the number of members of the

    The committee believes that U.S. national security is 
enhanced by the presence of U.S. forces in Japan and South 
Korea. Further, the committee values United States' alliances 
with Japan and South Korea, based on shared values of 
democracy, the rule of law, free and open markets, and respect 
for human rights.
    The committee reaffirms United States' commitment to these

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 (Public Law 115-91) and 
require the Department's budget request materials for EDI to 
include a display that clearly and concisely communicates to 
Congress, at an appropriate level of detail, which budget lines 
constitute EDI. The committee seeks to conduct oversight and 
require better planning for EDI. The committee believes 
enabling cross-reference of requested EDI priorities and budget 
activities would enhance transparency, strengthen congressional 
oversight, and facilitate Congress's ability to support 
European deterrence needs.

 Section 1253--Protection of European Deterrence Initiative Funds From 
                      Diversion for Other Purposes

    This section would require a congressional report for each

                         CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                  National Guard and Reserve Equipment

    The budget request contained no funding for a National 
Guard and Reserve Component equipment account. The committee 
has long been concerned about the availability of modern 
equipment needed to ensure the relevance and readiness of the 
National Guard and Reserve Components as an operational reserve 
and for their domestic support missions. The committee notes 
that the National Guard and Reserve Equipment Report for Fiscal 
Year 2020 identifies continuing shortages in modernized 
equipment and challenges associated with efficiently fulfilling 
combat readiness training requirements.
    The committee believes additional funds would help manage 
strategic risk and eliminate identified critical dual-use 
equipment shortfalls. The committee expects these funds to be 
used for the purposes of, but not limited to, the procurement 
of High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicles; Family of 
Medium Tactical Vehicle trucks; Family of Heavy Tactical 
Vehicle trucks; F-16 Active Electronically Scanned Array radar; 
Ground Based Sense and Avoid radars; C-130H NP2000 Propeller

in consultation with the Secretary of State, to submit an 
assessment of the Government of Afghanistan's ability to meet 
shared security objectives and manage, employ, and sustain 
equipment divested under the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund. 
If the results of said assessment were unfavorable, the 
Secretary of Defense would be required to withhold assistance 
under the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund.

     TITLE XVI--STRATEGIC PROGRAMS, CYBER, AND INTELLIGENCE MATTERS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                            Space Activities


          Centers of Innovation for Space Operational Testing

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than September 30, 2019, on a plan regarding the opportunities 
and costs to expand activities at existing defense facilities 
and partnerships to support operational testing and development 
of innovative technologies for multi-domain national security 
space missions. The briefing shall include an assessment of 
entities, partnerships, programs, and residual Department of 
Defense space assets that enable the iterative development, 
testing, and transfer of innovative space capabilities to the 
Department of Defense; a plan for utilizing applicable entities 
and residual Department of Defense space assets for the 
operational testing of innovative national security space 
technologies; the operational benefits created by engagement 
and utilization of industry and academic partnerships to 
accelerate development and testing technologies; the costs and 
value of leveraging these opportunities; and such other matters 
as the Secretary considers appropriate.

Department of Defense Resource-Sharing to Assist with Natural Disasters

    The Committee notes the devastating consequences of natural 
disasters that are increasing in both frequency and severity. 
In some instances, resources from the Department of Defense may 
be able to help local communities mitigate the damage from 
these events. For example, defense satellites and other aerial 
survey technology and analysis have the capability to detect 
wildfire outbreaks soon after they occur--much earlier than 
traditional methods currently in use. Access to this data would 
allow local utilities and first responders to better contain 
these wildfires and limit loss of life, property, and 
infrastructure.
    Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the National Geospatial Intelligence 
Agency and other agencies as appropriate, to provide a report 
to the House Committee on Armed Services no later than 
September 30, 2019 on options to work with the Departments of 
Energy, Interior and Agriculture and any on-going efforts to 
share resources, including surveillance data, to assist states 
and localities in identifying and responding to natural 
disasters such as wildfires. This report should include at a 
minimum: an identification of which Department of Defense 
surveillance data could be shared most quickly and efficiently 
on an ongoing basis without jeopardizing classified 
information; and a strategy for how this information could be 
shared in real time, while protecting the source of the 
information and the technologies used.

      Efficient Acquisition of Commercial Satellite Communications

    The committee supports the Department of Defense's 
continued efforts to integrate commercial satellite 
communications (COMSATCOM) capabilities into the Department's 
satellite communications (SATCOM) architecture and transition 
to a more efficient partnership with commercial operators. This 
new approach would ensure that the Department maximizes SATCOM 
value on a more secure, cost-effective, and resilient basis. 
The committee notes the Air Force is transferring COMSATCOM 
procurement authority from the Defense Information Systems 
Agency to Air Force Space Command, as legislatively mandated.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than September 1, 2019, on efforts to integrate commercial 
satellite communications capabilities into the Department of 
Defense satellite communications architecture. The briefing 
should include an assessment of several matters, including 
establishing clear lines of authority for integration of 
COMSATCOM capabilities into a SATCOM architecture; tools and 
technologies necessary to improve efficiency, resiliency, 
usability, and functionality for the Department of Defense 
COMSATCOM user community; funding and resourcing required to 
adequately prioritize and accelerate commercial satellite 
communications integration; and innovative acquisition 
approaches that increase value for the Department and the 
warfighter with regard to acquiring commercial satellite 
communications services.
    As the Department recapitalizes its space architecture for 
wideband and protected communications and transitions to 
greater reliance on commercial capabilities, the committee 
encourages the Department to prioritize adequate and stable 
funding for related activities.

            Global Enhanced Geospatial-Intelligence Delivery

    The committee notes that the Global Enhanced Geospatial-
Intelligence Delivery (Global-EGD) program offers a cloud-free 
foundation of imagery. This program provides a unique level of 
situational awareness to thousands of U.S. Government users, 
including warfighters, for immediate tactical and emergency 
purposes, as well as long-term mapping and analysis. This 
service allows users to not only view imagery, but also access 
archives to see image progression over time. The committee 
supports this program and urges the Department of Defense to 
sustain it appropriately and consider making it a program of 
record.

          Global Positioning System III Satellite Acquisition

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense is 
continuing its investment in new Global Positioning System 
(GPS) satellites to maintain worldwide, persistent, all-weather 
capability to ensure accurate time source for military and 
civilian users. GPS III will provide significant enhancements 
to the current constellation including higher-power military 
signals, new civilian signals, and hosted search-and-rescue 
payloads. The committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than September 30, 2019, on the timelines and costs 
for procuring GPS III satellites, on options to improve the 
efficiency of GPS III satellite procurement to ensure optimum 
value in line with military requirements.

              Improving Resilience of Space Architectures

    The committee notes the importance of increasing resilience 
and developing new architectures to protect US national 
security assets in space and to strengthen deterrence in space. 
The committee supports the Air Force and Defense Advanced 
Research Projects Agency's (DARPA) investments in demonstrating 
a proliferated low earth orbit (LEO) architecture that has the 
potential to offer increased resilience for U.S. national 
security space missions, including missile warning. If 
successful, this approach could significantly and cost-
effectively increase resilience in space, and allow more rapid 
technology insertions.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Armed Services Committee not 
later than December 1, 2019, on progress made through the 
Blackjack program, and any other related program, to 
demonstrate the value and feasibility of a proliferated, global 
LEO constellation and other innovative space architectures.
    The committee also directs the Secretary, in coordination 
with the Director of the Space Development Agency and the 
Director of DARPA, to provide a report not later than February 
15, 2020, detailing the progress made, and if is successful, 
how such a proliferated LEO architecture could enhance the 
resilience of space architectures, enhance deterrence in space, 
and how such a constellation would be integrated into the 
national security space strategy and architecture, the planned 
applications of this approach to national security space 
missions, the timelines for development and production, and 
funding requirements.

Increasing Resilience by Leveraging Proliferated Constellations in Low 
                              Earth Orbit

    The budget request contained $142.0 million in PE 1206427F 
for Space Systems Prototype Transitions. Of this amount, $55.0 
million was requested for the DARPA Blackjack program to 
support continued demonstration of a proliferated low Earth 
orbit constellation. The committee supports the Blackjack 
objectives to demonstrate the military utility of lower cost 
payloads, leverage commercial architectures, and demonstrate 
on-orbit data processing and autonomy, through a 20-satellite 
prototype constellation by fiscal year 2022. The committee is 
aware that if successful, this architecture could provide an 
additional layer of resilience and rapidly replenished capacity 
in space that could have wide-ranging applications.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $162.0 million, an 
increase of $20.0 million, in PE 1206427F for the Blackjack 
demonstration program.

             Leveraging Commercial Satellite Remote Sensing

    The committee notes that responsibility for acquiring 
commercial imagery shifted from the National Geospatial-
Intelligence Agency (NGA) to the National Reconnaissance Office 
(NRO), while the NGA retains responsibility for acquiring 
commercial geospatial-intelligence services. The committee 
supports the new leadership role of the NRO in acquiring 
commercial satellite remote sensing data on behalf of the 
Department of Defense and the intelligence community. In order 
to fully leverage U.S. industry capabilities, the committee 
urges the NRO to engage industry to the maximum extent 
practicable. The committee is aware that the NRO is currently 
evaluating its strategy for acquiring future commercial, high-
resolution satellite imagery. In setting requirements for 
acquisition of commercial satellite imagery, the committee 
directs the Director of the NRO to be responsive not only to 
the NGA requirements but also the broader Department of Defense 
geospatial intelligence (GEOINT) user community, including the 
combatant commanders. To meet these broad and diverse 
requirements, the committee expects the NRO to engage with 
multiple commercial providers, leveraging multiple sources for 
global coverage and high revisit rates.
    The committee directs the Director of the NRO, in 
coordination with the Director of the NGA, to provide a joint 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than October 1, 2019, on progress toward an open and fair 
competitive acquisition process to leverage industry 
capabilities in the 2020s. This briefing should address how the 
agencies plan to work together to ensure no gaps in the support 
provided to the Department of Defense GEOINT user community as 
a result of the change in roles and responsibilities.

                     Leveraging Reusable Spacecraft

    The committee notes the potential commercial development 
and use of a dedicated reusable spacecraft to support national 
security space requirements. The committee believes that the 
Department of Defense could leverage the National Aeronautics 
and Space Administration's extensive design development, 
computational and wind tunnel testing, and funding commitments 
that led to the production of a reusable spacecraft, and assess 
the potential for use to address national security 
requirements. The committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than September 15, 2019, on the feasibility, 
potential benefits, and costs of using a reusable spacecraft 
for launching satellites or to serve as a test platform.

  National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency Aviation Mapping Capability

    The committee is aware that the National Geospatial-
Intelligence Agency (NGA) is planning to shift the aviation 
mapping capability from a commercial contract to an organic 
capability within NGA.
    The committee directs the Director of NGA to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than July 30, 2019, on a plan and rationale for this 
transition. The briefing should include, at a minimum, an 
assessment of the risks and benefits of this transition, 
timeline, costs, cost savings, potential gaps, and any other 
matters the Director would like to include.

             Next-Generation LEO-Based Satellite Technology

    The committee understands the commercial sector is 
developing next-generation Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite 
technology that could be leveraged to enhance tactical 
communications for the warfighter, enabling lower latency for 
time-critical services. The committee is specifically 
interested in commercial LEO-based satellite technology that is 
being developed to provide high powered, resilient direct 
satellite to broadband cellular connectivity to existing mobile 
devices, sensors and Internet of Things based platforms, 
without the need for traditional terrestrial ground 
infrastructure. The committee is interested in opportunities to 
leverage this type of commercial development for military 
specific applications to meet critical warfighter and national 
security requirements.
    The committee directs the Secretaries of the Air Force, 
Army, and Navy to provide a briefing to the congressional 
defense committees by September 30, 2019 on their findings and 
potential opportunities for investment in this strategic 
capability. Included in these findings should be opportunities 
to leverage commercial LEO satellite technology capable of 
deliver direct satellite to broadband cellular technology for 
potential defense applications that include, but not limited 
to, improved space-based tactical communications, command and 
control, jamming and intercept capabilities, and tactical early 
warning missile detection.

                Next-Generation Synthetic Aperture Radar

    The committee is aware that the Army has undertaken efforts 
to augment existing collection capabilities with a family of 
small satellites of varying configurations. Those enhanced, 
space-based collection capabilities will include a number of 
smaller, more cost-effective and more survivable Synthetic 
Aperture Radar (SAR) satellites capable of supporting worldwide 
tactical operations. SAR, unlike passive collection systems, 
allows for penetration of clouds, precipitation, and dense 
vegetation day or night. While SAR space vehicles are 
historically large and heavy with significant power and heat-
management challenges, technological developments have made it 
possible to produce much smaller and more affordable SAR 
satellites that can significantly contribute to tactical 
situational awareness and decision making in support of 
reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition missions.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than October 31, 2019, on opportunities and funding 
requirements for innovative research in the area of downsized, 
lightweight, and more cost-effective SAR technology. The 
committee believes that investment in a next-generation SAR 
tactical satellite could accelerate the development of 
technology to deliver mission-critical capabilities to military 
users and integrate space-based, SAR-derived data with other 
systems.

        North Atlantic Treaty Organization Ally Launch Services

    The committee notes that the National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-328) required the 
Secretary of the Air Force to evaluate options and execute a 
plan to use allied launch vehicles as a backup in meeting the 
requirements for assured access into space as delineated in 
section 2273 of title 10, United States Code. The committee 
commends the Air Force for conducting an analysis and providing 
a report to Congress in the fall of 2017, positively 
identifying a suitable allied partner's capability to mitigate 
risks and ensure national security space launch services in the 
event of an emergency need that could not be met with domestic 
launch capacity. While the report identified future steps 
required to fully enable rapid certification of an allied 
nation's space launch capability, the Air Force has yet to 
implement the necessary next steps to ensure that the backup 
plan could be executed quickly if needed. The Department of 
Defense should take the next steps to identify specific 
payloads and conduct all detailed studies of requirements, 
costs, infrastructure, security, and other aspects of using 
space launch services provided by non-domestic providers as a 
backup during a time of national emergency.

      Report on Commercial and Space-Based Radio Frequency Mapping

    The committee directs the National Reconnaissance Office to 
provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than November 1, 2019 on commercial space-based radio 
frequency mapping and associated operations and services for 
space-based electromagnetic collections. The report shall 
include the timelines, milestones, and processes to establish 
the ordering and data delivery systems for commercial space-
based radio frequency mapping and associated operations and 
services for space-based electromagnetic collections, how such 
commercial operations and services should integrate into 
existing workflows of the Department of Defense, how such 
commercial operations and services could be integrated into 
other existing analytics platforms, and how these services can 
meet current and future mission requirements.

 Report on Commercial or Non-Commercial Security Launch Sustainability

    The committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to 
provide a report to the congressional defense committees and 
the congressional intelligence committees not later than 45 
days after the date on which the Secretary of the Air Force 
selects during fiscal year 2020 two National Security Space 
Launch providers to be awarded phase two contracts, on whether 
each selected provider is sustainable as a business based on 
current or future launches by entities other than the Air 
Force.

                     Rocket Systems Launch Program

    The committee continues to support sustained investment to 
further operationalize integration of new commercial small-
launch services into the space enterprise. The committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the 
Director of National Intelligence, to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services not later than September 15, 
2019, on the Air Force's plan to leverage commercial 
investments in responsive launch capabilities and integrate 
tactically responsive launch capabilities into the Department 
of Defense's space operations. The briefing should provide an 
assessment of responsive launch operational tactics, 
techniques, and procedures; the operational benefits of 
responsive space launch demonstrations from military 
installations; and the required funding and resourcing to 
employ a contingency capability for rapid reconstitution and 
tactically responsive space launch.

   Small Satellite Science, Security Applications, and Evolutionary 
                                Concepts

    The committee supports the Department of Defense as it 
develops novel communications, sensing, and navigation payloads 
as well as modular, highly adaptable ground systems that can be 
readily configured to support the evolving needs of national 
security. These efforts support exploring the increasing trend 
toward using constellations of low-cost, low Earth orbit, small 
satellites for rapid response missions. The committee supports 
the Department in developing leap-ahead concepts, technologies, 
and capabilities that support assured positioning, navigation, 
and timing capabilities.

              Space and Atmospheric Burst Reporting System

    The committee notes that the Air Force hosts nuclear 
detonation detection capability in space on Global Positioning 
System and Defense Support Program satellites. The committee 
also notes that the Space and Atmospheric Burst Reporting 
System (SABRS) also contributes to nuclear detonation detection 
with the third payload launching in 2019 on the Space Test 
Program-6 satellite. However, the committee is aware that there 
have been delays in launching the SABRS payloads, and there are 
no current plans to launch SABRS-4 or future SABRS systems.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force, in coordination with the Administrator for Nuclear 
Security and the Secretary of State, to submit a plan to the 
congressional defense committees not later than November 15, 
2019, to launch the SABRS-4 payload and following SABRS 
payloads. The plan shall include military and treaty 
verification requirements for nuclear detection, including 
requirement for SABRS payloads; identification of satellites 
that would host such a payload; requirements for ground-
processing software; cost, including out-year funding 
requirements; and timelines for launching additional SABRS 
payloads.

           Telemetry Extension Satellite Communications Relay

    The committee supports long-range test events for advanced 
weapons platforms, integrated systems, and next-generation 
hypersonics. The telemetry extension satellite communication 
(SATCOM) relay project will assist range safety, testing, and 
evaluation personnel executing overwater missions that support 
test events of long-range weapons, aircraft, and sea surface 
platforms. The effort focuses on prototype integration and 
modification of unmanned surface vehicles by installing 
collection sensors, antennas, receivers, and transmitter 
hardware.
    The committee expects that the Air Force will continue to 
prioritize the major test and evaluation investment budget line 
in support of the telemetry extension SATCOM relay project.

          U.S. Reliance on Foreign In-Space Propulsion Systems

    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
report to the congressional defense committees not later than 
November 1, 2019, on foreign in-space propulsion systems, 
including electric propulsion, Hall thrusters, and chemical 
apogee engines, which are used for transferring a satellite to 
its final orbital location, in-orbit maneuvering, and 
transferring to a graveyard orbit at the end of the life of the 
satellite.
    The report should address which national security programs 
use these systems; whether there are risks from relying on 
foreign in-space propulsion; the impacts of a change in policy 
that would require U.S.-made propulsion systems, including 
impacts on the Department of Defense's ability to use hosted 
payloads or acquire commercial services; cost estimates 
associated with a change in policy; what research and 
development projects would be necessary to contribute to 
development and testing of U.S.-designed and -manufactured in-
space propulsion systems for current and future military 
satellites in space; and associated costs of these development 
and acquisition costs.

                     Venture Class Launch Services

    The Department of Defense relies heavily on space-based 
capabilities that are necessary for the warfighter. These 
capabilities include strategic warning, assured communication, 
weather, and positioning, navigation, and timing. The 
Department is heavily invested in national security space 
assets that include large, capable, expensive payloads launched 
on comparably large and expensive launch vehicles, and that do 
not rapidly incorporate the newest commercial technologies and 
techniques that U.S. commercial space industry and U.S. 
adversaries may use. The committee encourages the Department to 
consider increased use of small satellites to augment and 
complement the Department's existing capabilities. The 
committee further encourages the Department to use commercial 
contracting approaches such as National Aeronautics and Space 
Administration's Venture Class Launch Program to increase the 
survivability and resiliency of the Department's space assets.

                        Missile Defense Programs


                 Airborne Tracking and Targeting System

    The committee notes that in 2018 the Airborne Tracking and 
Targeting System (ATTS) executed a continuous 8-month 
deployment to the Pacific Missile Range Facility in Kauai to 
support Missile Defense Agency test events. The system was 
shown to be highly effective in tracking both ballistic and 
non-ballistic threats. In addition to the precision tracks 
provided by ATTS, these tests proved that the fire control 
solution was developed sufficiently early to enable early 
intercept to support a ``shoot-assess-shoot.'' The committee 
encourages the Department of Defense to continue its support of 
ATTS, specifically supporting the modification of unmanned 
aerial vehicles for potential deployment outside the 
continental United States to support combatant commander needs.

     Boost-Phase Ballistic Missile Defense Analysis of Alternatives

    The committee notes that the President's budget request for 
fiscal year 2020 includes $34.0 million to initiate development 
of a neutral particle beam that would ultimately be deployed in 
space to conduct intercontinental-range ballistic missile 
(ICBM) boost-phase defense. The committee further notes ongoing 
research and development efforts across the Department of 
Defense to develop ICBM boost-phase intercept capability, to 
include kinetic interceptors launched from unmanned aerial 
vehicles and/or aircraft, and multiple directed energy 
technologies that are being evaluated. The committee is unaware 
of any analysis of alternatives (AOA) being conducted prior to 
the determination to move forward with neutral particle beam, 
and therefore, the committee directs the Director of Cost 
Assessment and Program Evaluation (CAPE) to conduct a 
comprehensive AOA on current boost-phase technologies being 
developed or investigated. The AOA should include aspects such 
as technical maturity of systems, total development and 
operational deployment costs, policy implications to strategic 
stability, and schedule. The committee directs the Director of 
CAPE to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than March 31, 2020, on the results of this 
AOA.

               Cybersecurity of Missile Defense Programs

    The committee notes positive efforts being made by the 
Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to address controlled unclassified 
information (CUI) disseminated throughout the defense 
industrial base. The committee is supportive of these efforts, 
and encourages use of cyber assistance teams to be piloted 
across the Department of Defense.
    The committee notes the pilot initiated in 2018 to 
incorporate cybersecurity program protection plans as a 
proposal requirement, and used as evaluation criteria in source 
selection activities. The committee supports the continuation 
of this pilot, and the potential for cyber protection becoming 
required evaluation criteria in all future MDA contract awards.
    Noting the 2019 Department of Defense Inspector General 
findings, the committee acknowledges that cybersecurity remains 
a concern to be addressed on government-owned research, 
development, test, and evaluation networks. The committee 
encourages MDA, in coordination with the military services, to 
address the findings and implement corrective actions to ensure 
the protection of networks from external and internal threats.
    Further, the committee supports efforts to develop and 
deploy secure information systems and infrastructure ensuring 
the warfighter can receive, analyze, promulgate, and protect 
critical information with no risk of accidental exposure of the 
data to unauthorized individuals. MDA should prioritize 
developmental efforts within the directorate for advanced 
technology with the aim of providing the warfighter an 
operational cyber environment that enhances training, security, 
mobility, data analytics, and situational awareness.
    While assurances have been made regarding operational 
ballistic missile defense system systems being protected 
against cyber threats, the committee notes that conducting 
persistent cyber operations may discover vulnerabilities and 
provide an opportunity to proactively address network 
weaknesses. The committee encourages the Director of MDA to 
work collaboratively with the Director of Operational Test and 
Evaluation and the combatant commanders to implement persistent 
cyber operations on RDT&E and operational networks, on a not-
to-interfere basis. To understand the breadth of cybersecurity 
efforts at MDA, the committee directs the Director of MDA to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
January 31, 2020, on all aspects of cybersecurity outlined 
above.

                  Hypersonic Carbon-Carbon Composites

    The budget request contained $20.6 million in PE 63180C for 
advanced hypersonic development research.
    The committee is aware that research conducted into carbon-
carbon composites and similar materials is critical to the 
advancement of the Department of Defense hypersonics efforts. 
The benefits of carbon-carbon composites in extreme 
environments, such as those experienced in high-speed and 
hypersonic flight, warrant additional scientific and technical 
exploration. Additional research in reusable hypersonic vehicle 
materials, structure development, and thermal protection system 
development is necessary to enable rapid global response to 
threats and extend the survivability of platforms in highly 
contested environments. The committee believes additional 
emphasis on the capacity of the industrial base in carbon-
carbon composites is necessary in order to increase the rate at 
which hypersonic systems can be developed, prototyped, and 
tested, while reducing the cost relative to current solutions.
    Therefore, the committee recommends $27.6 million, an 
increase of $7.0 million, in PE 63180C for advanced hypersonic 
development research.

                      Low-Cost Patriot Interceptor

    The committee acknowledges that the Patriot Integrated Air 
and Missile Defense System has long been a key component of 
U.S. ballistic missile defense. With ballistic missile threats 
increasing globally, combatant commander global force 
management requirements for missile defense capacity have 
consistently been increasing.
    The committee notes that current unit costs for Patriot 
missile segment enhancement interceptors is approximately $1.0 
million per interceptor. The incorporation of a low-cost 
interceptor to supplement existing Patriot interceptor variants 
could assist in increasing U.S. procurement quantities. 
Further, the committee understands that international partners 
have requested the Army include such a low-cost interceptor to 
reduce costs in foreign military sale cases. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than December 31, 2019, on options to incorporate a low-cost 
interceptor into the Patriot system. The report should include 
cost, schedule, technical, and operational considerations, in 
addition to an assessment of potential for foreign military 
sale.

         Missile Defense Agency Undefinitized Contract Actions

    The committee notes that since 2016, the Missile Defense 
Agency (MDA) has increasingly relied on undefinitized contract 
actions (UCAs) to expand and extend programmatic scope instead 
of executing traditional contract modifications with 
predetermined requirements. Particularly in the case of the 
Ground-Based Midcourse Defense (GMD) contract extension, the 
use of a UCA resulted in significant scope change through the 
definitization process. Conducting business in this manner has 
also been highlighted by the Government Accountability Office 
as resulting in increased cost.
    The committee is concerned by the past several year trend 
of increasing UCA usage by the Missile Defense Agency, and 
therefore directs the Director of the Missile Defense Agency to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than December 15, 2019, on a historical summary of all 
UCAs executed since 2015; what the final definitized contract 
included, highlighting changes in scope and cost; plans to 
definitize all open UCAs at the time of the briefing; and how 
MDA plans to reduce the use of UCAs in the future and maximize 
opportunities to hold contractors accountable to a 
predetermined scope.

           Multi-Agency Sensors for Ballistic Missile Defense

    The committee notes an evolution of emerging ballistic 
missile and hypersonic threats from a growing number of 
countries. The committee also notes that the U.S. Strategic 
Command commander has repeatedly stated that our ability to 
track advanced threats from ``birth to death'' is a key 
capability gap. The committee agrees the ability to track 
advanced threats throughout their entire flight is needed to 
enable any future defenses against these types of weapons, and 
further recognizes the challenges associated with developing, 
procuring, and deploying new sensors capable of meeting 
enhanced and evolving threats.
    The committee is aware that there are numerous ground- and 
sea-based sensor platforms currently performing measurement and 
signature intelligence (MASINT) located in strategic regions 
where current sensing capability gaps exist. It is the 
committee's understanding that these are very capable sensors 
that may be able to perform multiple missions including MASINT, 
space surveillance, and missile defense.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Director, Missile 
Defense Agency, in coordination with the Director of National 
Intelligence, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services by January 31, 2020, detailing the current 
global ground- and sea-based MASINT sensors and the capability 
of the sensors to integrate into the U.S. homeland missile 
defense architecture. The report shall include the current 
participation of intelligence sensor assets in the U.S. 
ballistic missile defense system as well as the operational 
impacts, costs, and timelines associated with activating a U.S. 
homeland missile defense mission for each sensor.

                   On-Board Vehicle Power Technology

    The committee notes that electrical power generation 
requirements continue to grow to meet the needs of our weapon 
systems and command and control infrastructure deployed around 
the world. Traditional electrical power generation in the field 
requires an increased logistical footprint that reduces 
maneuverability and deployability of operational units in 
austere conditions. The committee is aware of efforts by the 
Missile Defense Agency (MDA) to evaluate low-cost, non-
developmental mature technologies that harness the electrical 
energy generated by a vehicle's transmission to produce mobile 
electrical power. The committee notes that the MDA is seeking 
to integrate on-board vehicle power for Terminal High Altitude 
Area Defense in order to provide increased capability, 
readiness, and the ability to conduct extended operations with 
greater energy efficiency than current systems.
    The committee supports the efforts of the MDA and U.S. Army 
to evaluate ways to make ballistic missile defense systems more 
efficient in energy use and allow them more flexibility, 
readiness, and lethality on the battlefield. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Director of the Missile Defense Agency, 
in coordination with the Secretary of the Army, to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by January 
31, 2020, on candidate technologies being evaluated for 
integration onto ground vehicle platforms to make missile 
batteries more expeditionary, maneuverable, and fuel efficient. 
The report should include:
    (1) preliminary results from the evaluation and fielding 
focused on interoperability, logistics, and installation of the 
systems;
    (2) performance and recommendations on adoption of the 
technology by the other services; and
    (3) a breakdown of costs expended to date on developing 
this technology, and any future costs needed to complete the 
effort.

      Review of Ground-Based Midcourse Defense Contract Structure

    The committee notes that in 2017 the Missile Defense Agency 
abandoned plans to re-compete the Ground-Based Midcourse 
Defense (GMD) system contract, and instead maintained the 
contract structure to execute missile defense and defeat 
enhancement efforts. With the recent definitization of the 
contract, the committee notes significant changes in scope and 
total value from the initial not-to-exceed agreement. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of the 
United States to complete an assessment of the GMD contract 
structure, and provide recommendations that could improve 
government management and increase contractor accountability. 
The assessment should also include managing interfaces and 
specifications between the multiple system components; 
assessing which elements or missions, if any, could benefit 
from direct reporting to the Missile Defense Agency versus the 
prime contractor; and highlighting any areas that could be 
improved with regard to the path forward on the redesigned kill 
vehicle effort and its integration into the overall GMD system. 
The committee directs the Comptroller General to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by February 
28, 2020, on the initial findings of the assessment, and to 
submit a final report at a date agreed to at the time of the 
briefing.

         Terminal High Altitude Area Defense Future Deployment

    The committee notes that the terminal high altitude area 
defense (THAAD) system has previously been deployed to perform 
a layered U.S. homeland mission in Hawaii when the threat and 
indications and warnings dictated the need. The committee also 
understands that regional demands of this system, for which it 
was designed, are high and the limited number of batteries are 
prioritized to address growing regional threats.
    The committee directs the Commander, U.S. Northern Command 
(NORTHCOM), in coordination with the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Policy, Commander, U.S. Indo-Pacific Command (INDOPACOM) 
(as appropriate), Secretary of the Army, and Director, Missile 
Defense Agency, to provide a report, with a classified annex if 
needed, to the congressional defense committees not later than 
February 28, 2020, on the following aspects should a THAAD 
homeland defense deployment be considered in the future:
    (1) military requirement to deploy THAAD for homeland 
defense;
    (2) how THAAD could contribute to current layered homeland 
defense architectures;
    (3) changes in threat posture that would warrant such a 
deployment, and the mechanics of how NORTHCOM and INDOPACOM 
would determine the requirement and submit the force management 
request;
    (4) timelines to deploy a THAAD battery, including the 
continental United States, Hawaii, and Alaska, should the 
decision be made to do so;
    (5) impacts to global missile defense should one or more 
THAAD batteries be deployed for a homeland defense mission, and 
how that could be addressed with future procurement of 
additional THAAD batteries;
    (6) how lessons learned from recent regional deployments 
would be incorporated into future planning;
    (7) impacts to training and readiness of U.S. Army 
personnel to support such deployment; and
    (8) policy implications and risks to strategic stability of 
deploying a regional THAAD capability for a homeland defense 
mission.

                             Nuclear Forces


       Air Force Global Strike Command Enterprise Analysis Center

    The committee continues to oversee Air Force Global Strike 
Command (AFGSC) as it leads and coordinates efforts across the 
Air Force for both nuclear deterrence operations and 
contributions to nuclear command, control, and communications. 
The committee believes sustained attention on these missions 
will be required in the context of the nuclear weapons 
modernization program.
    The committee believes that AFGSC should provide an 
analytical basis for cost and capability trades to drive cost-
effective acquisition solutions. Traditional requirements 
analysis maturation methodologies may be insufficient to 
support the tradeoff decisions related to nuclear enterprise 
systems. To address these challenges, AFGSC has proposed the 
use of digital models and dynamic analysis to improve 
requirements analysis. The committee is interested in 
understanding how these analytical efforts and AFGSC's planned 
Enterprise Analysis Center will contribute a cost-effective 
nuclear enterprise modernization program. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a 
briefing to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives not later than November 15, 2019, on the Air 
Force Major Command Innovation Program and AFGSC's Enterprise 
Analysis Center regarding how these efforts will contribute to 
decision making and integrate into AFGSC's existing innovation 
strategy and planned nuclear institute.

               Climate Change and the Nuclear Enterprise

    The committee notes that climate change is a national 
security issue with impacts to Department of Defense missions, 
operational plans, and installations. The committee also notes 
that the United States is undergoing the most extensive 
modernization of its nuclear forces in at least three decades. 
This modernization effort will ensure the United States nuclear 
deterrent is safe, secure, and effective through 2080. The 
Department must plan to ensure the viability of the nuclear 
enterprise through this timeframe. In January 2019, the 
Department's ``Report on Effects of a Changing Climate to the 
Department of Defense'' noted that the Department ``must be 
able to adapt current and future operations to address the 
impacts of a variety of threats and conditions, including those 
from weather and natural events. To that end, the Department of 
Defense factors in the effects of the environment into its 
mission planning and execution to build resilience.''
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in consultation with the Secretary of Energy, to provide a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
March 31, 2020, assessing the effects of climate change on the 
U.S. nuclear enterprise, to include bases, ports, laboratories, 
plants, sites, and testing facilities, through 2080.

  Comptroller General Review of Implications of 2018 Nuclear Posture 
                                 Review

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense and the 
National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) are undertaking 
an extensive, multifaceted effort to recapitalize and modernize 
the U.S. nuclear weapons enterprise, including the nuclear 
weapons stockpile, dual-capable aircraft, submarine-launched 
ballistic missiles, intercontinental ballistic missiles, and 
nuclear-capable heavy bombers, as well as their associated 
warheads. The administration is also planning to develop new 
missiles and warheads--including developing low-yield warheads 
to be carried on ballistic missiles on submarines--and pursuing 
the reintroduction of nuclear-armed sea-launched cruise 
missiles, consistent with recommendation from the 2018 Nuclear 
Posture Review.
    The committee notes the significant level of investment and 
high concurrence of many of these modernization programs and 
the associated risks of schedule slips and increased costs, in 
addition to the need to sustain existing platforms and systems 
until the new systems are operational. The committee therefore 
recognizes the importance of risk mitigation plans and 
prioritization of modernization efforts as well as force 
structure decisions.
    The committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to provide a report to the congressional defense 
committees not later than April 1, 2020, assessing the 
Department and NNSA plans for prioritization of modernization 
efforts recommended by the Nuclear Posture Review and plans in 
the event of cost increases or delays. The committee further 
directs the Comptroller General to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services not later than February 15, 
2020, on the Comptroller General's preliminary findings.

                    Delayed Life Extension Programs

    The committee notes that the National Nuclear Security 
Administration (NNSA) is currently managing five nuclear 
warhead life extension (LEP), alteration or modification 
programs, and is concerned about the level of concurrency on 
these programs. The committee is concerned about the challenges 
that this concurrency has caused at NNSA facilities, including 
the Kansas City National Security Campus. The Nuclear Security 
Administrator testified in May 2019 that the ``W80-4 LEP, W87-1 
modification, and the W76-2 modification continue to remain on 
budget and schedule'' but noted for the first time that the 
B61-12 LEP and the W88 Alteration 370 will be delayed, stating 
that ``we are currently working through recently identified 
challenges that will impact delivery schedules and we are 
assessing options with DoD to mitigate delays.''
    The committee is aware that while the severity of delays 
currently remains uncertain, these delays could be significant. 
The committee also notes that both the independent Office of 
Cost Estimating and Program Evaluation within NNSA and the 
Office of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation within the 
Department of Defense warned in 2016 that completion of the B61 
LEP could be delayed by as much as 2 years. The committee is 
also aware that the Air Force recently proposed to delay the 
W80-4 first production unit (FPU) by at least a year without 
impact to initial operation capability, but NNSA has kept the 
FPU date to fiscal year 2025.
    The committee questions the adequacy of program management, 
including the optimistic assumptions that seem to be driving 
LEP schedules, and the late realization, within less than a 
year of originally expected FPU dates for the B61 and the W88 
Alteration, that delays will occur. The committee expects 
improvements in program planning, management, prioritization, 
and oversight, including more realistic assumptions, to avoid 
short-notice delays, which entail not only cost increases but 
operational impacts.

            Domestic Production of Large Solid Rocket Motors

    The committee notes that the Air Force continues 
development of the Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD). As 
the follow-on to the Minuteman III Intercontinental Ballistic 
Missile, the GBSD will have two to three large solid rocket 
motor boosters. The committee notes that there are only two 
suppliers of large solid rocket motors in the United States. 
The committee commends the Secretary of Defense for submitting 
the report required in section 1699 of the John S. McCain 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public 
Law 115-232). The committee also notes the importance of 
maintaining the large solid rocket motor industrial base, as 
well as the careful analysis done by the Secretary of Defense. 
The committee wishes to follow up on this report with an 
update.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment to provide an updated 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
December 1, 2019, assessing the following:
    (1) the risks and benefits of utilizing both domestic 
producers of large solid rocket motors for the design, 
development, and production of rocket motors for the Ground-
Based Strategic Deterrent Program, including any specific 
mitigation recommendations being considered or implemented;
    (2) costs or cost savings associated with using two 
domestic producers, including with respect to the cost of the 
GBSD program;
    (3) timelines for decision making on the number of 
producers; and
    (4) a plan, if two producers were used.

                  Managing Risks of Nuclear Escalation

    The committee notes the importance of nuclear deterrence in 
the U.S. national security strategy. As the 2018 Nuclear 
Posture Review notes, ``effective U.S. deterrence of nuclear 
attack and non-nuclear strategic attack requires ensuring that 
potential adversaries do not miscalculate regarding the 
consequences of nuclear first use, either regionally or against 
the United States itself.'' However, the committee also notes 
the increasing number and diversity of strategic, including 
non-nuclear, capabilities and the increasing number of states 
deploying such capabilities. These factors may decrease 
decision time for policy makers and increase the potential for 
miscalculation and misconception.
    The committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Policy to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than January 31, 2020, detailing the 
Department's efforts to develop and implement guidance to 
ensure that the risks of inadvertent escalation to a nuclear 
war are considered within the decision-making processes with 
regard to relevant Department activities. The committee further 
directs the Under Secretary of Defense to identify the 
capabilities and factors taken into account in developing such 
guidance. The committee directs the report to be provided in 
unclassified form, with a classified annex as necessary.

                          Nuclear Arms Control

    The committee notes the value of verifiable nuclear arms 
control to U.S. national security. The arms control 
architecture the United States has built over decades has long 
been an important element of U.S. nuclear force planning and 
meeting U.S. deterrence requirements. If the New Strategic Arms 
Reduction (New START) Treaty is not extended or replaced before 
it expires in 2021, the United States runs the risk of having 
no legally binding, verifiable limits on Russia's strategic 
nuclear arsenal, negatively impacting U.S. deterrence and U.S. 
national security.
    The Department of State, in the December 1, 2018, ``Report 
on the Reasons That Continued Implementation of the New START 
Treaty Is in the National Security Interests of the United 
States,'' noted: ``New START Treaty's limits on Russia's 
strategic nuclear force . . . contribute currently to the 
national security of the United States.'' Further, the report 
noted that ``The New START Treaty allows the United States to 
both retain and modernize its nuclear Triad while also 
providing the United States with the flexibility to adapt its 
force structure as needed.'' The State Department also 
confirmed Russia is in compliance with the treaty.
    The committee encourages the President to keep Congress 
informed on the status of arms control agreements. The 
committee also notes the President announced U.S. intent to 
withdraw from the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) 
Treaty without notifying Congress. While Russia's material 
breach of the INF Treaty is clear, the committee notes such 
decisions should not be made without informing Congress.
    In response to a question on whether he sees any reason for 
the United States to withdraw from the New START Treaty before 
it expires in 2021, absent Russia being in material breach of 
the treaty, General John Hyten, Commander of U.S. Strategic 
Command, responded ``No.'' General Hyten also noted in 
testimony before the Senate Committee on Armed Services that he 
was ``a big supporter of the New START agreement'' and that the 
New START Treaty provides ``insights into the Russians' 
capabilities. Those are hugely beneficial to me.''
    With regard to Russia's new nuclear capabilities, the New 
START Treaty's Bilateral Consultative Commission has provided 
the United States with a forum to discuss Russia's strategic 
force developments. The committee notes the importance of 
ensuring all applicable Russian nuclear systems are covered 
under the treaty's verification provisions and limits.

                  Radiation Exposure Compensation Act

    The committee notes that the United States conducted nearly 
200 atmospheric nuclear weapons development tests from 1945 to 
1962. Also essential to the nation's nuclear weapons 
development was uranium mining and processing, carried out by 
tens of thousands of U.S. workers. The committee notes that the 
Radiation Exposure Compensation Act (RECA) provides for an 
administrative program for claims relating to atmospheric 
nuclear testing and claims relating to uranium industry 
employment. The committee notes that the Department of Justice 
has awarded more than $2.3 billion in awards under RECA.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in consultation with the Attorney General of the United States, 
to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than December 13, 2019, assessing the extent to which 
those affected by government nuclear testing are prevented from 
receiving compensation under RECA. The committee requests that 
the report describe the different groups, and estimated number 
of people in each group, who are affected by government nuclear 
testing but are not compensated under RECA, including but not 
limited to those Americans who live in close proximity to where 
testing occurred.

 Report on Assessing China's ``No-First-Use'' of Nuclear Weapons Policy

    The committee notes that China maintains a no first use 
policy with regard to nuclear weapons which was not mentioned 
in its 2013 defense white paper, but was reaffirmed in its 2015 
defense white paper. Therefore, the committee directs DoD, 
jointly with the Director of National Intelligence, to provide 
a report to the House Armed Services Committee no later than 
December 31, 2019 assessing China's no first use policy, 
including the rationale for, and credibility, of this policy. 
The report should include a comprehensive analysis which 
includes:
    (1) Current debate and considerations within Chinese 
leadership regarding its No First Use Policy.
    (2) The role China's No First Use Policy serves in 
strengthening its nuclear capability.
    (3) China's doctrine regarding what actions would invoke a 
nuclear response
    (4) Insight as to how China would perceive a U.S. policy 
change to no first use of nuclear weapons.
    (5) The perspective of U.S. allies in the Indo-Pacific 
concerning China's no first use policy, as well as how those 
allies' expectations with regard U.S. extended deterrence 
commitments and assurances, views with regard to U.S. 
engagement on extended deterrence, and the policy debate on no-
first-use.
    (6) An assessment of implications of China's no-first use 
policy on nuclear proliferation motivations in East Asia east 
Asia and Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty commitments.

  Report on the Adequacy of the New START Treaty to Restrain Current 
                                Threats

    The committee finds that arms control is beneficial for 
both United States national security and international 
stability, but the United States should not enter arms control 
agreements that impose unilateral restrictions on the United 
States Armed Forces and fail to properly account for the 
nuclear arsenals of all near-peer competitors in the 
international system.
    The committee also finds that the United States and Russia 
signed the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (the ``New START 
Treaty'') on April 8, 2010, which is due to expire in 2021, and 
that the United States does not have any arms control 
agreements with China. The 2018 Nuclear Posture Review states, 
``While the United States has continued to reduce the number 
and salience of nuclear weapons, others, including Russia and 
China, have moved in the opposite direction. Russia has 
expanded and improved its strategic and non-strategic nuclear 
forces. China's military modernization has resulted in an 
expanded nuclear force, with little to no transparency into its 
intentions.''
    Regarding Russia, the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review states, 
``Russia is developing and deploying new nuclear warheads and 
launchers. These efforts include multiple upgrades for every 
leg of the Russian nuclear triad of strategic bombers, sea-
based missiles, and land-based missiles. Russia is also 
developing at least two new inter-continental range systems, a 
hypersonic glide vehicle, and a new intercontinental, nuclear-
armed, nuclear-powered, undersea autonomous torpedo.'' 
``[Russia] is also building a large, diverse, and modern set of 
non-strategic systems that are dual-capable . . . These 
theater- and tactical-range systems are not accountable under 
the New START Treaty.''
    Regarding China, the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review states, 
``China continues to increase the number, capabilities, and 
protection of its nuclear forces.'' It additionally states 
that, ``China has developed a new road-mobile strategic 
intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), a new multi-warhead 
version of its DF5 silo-based ICBM, and its most advanced 
ballistic missile submarine armed with new submarine-launched 
ballistic missiles (SLBM). It has also announced development of 
a new nuclear-capable strategic bomber, giving China a nuclear 
triad.''
    In testimony before the Committee on Foreign Relations of 
the Senate on April 10, 2019, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo 
stated, in response to a question about extending the New START 
treaty, that ``we need to make sure that we've got all the 
parties that are relevant as a component of this as well.''
    On March 16, 2019, National Security Advisor John Bolton 
stated, ``China is building up its nuclear capacity now. It's . 
. . one reason why if we're going to have another arms control 
negotiation, for example, with the Russians, it may make sense 
to include China in that discussion as well''. The committee 
seeks additional information from the Department of Defense 
related to Russia and China's expanding inventory of strategic 
and non-strategic nuclear weapon systems, and the suitability 
of the current New START Treaty to restrain Russia and China 
from developing and deploying additional nuclear weapons.
    The committee therefore directs the Chairman of the Joint 
Chiefs of Staff and the Secretary of Defense to provide a 
report to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than 
December 11, 2019, on the following:
    (1) Russia and China's expanding inventory of strategic and 
non-strategic nuclear weapon systems;
    (2) The adequacy of the New START Treaty to restrain Russia 
and China from developing and deploying new, advanced strategic 
and non-strategic nuclear weapon systems;
    (3) The impacts on United States national security should 
an extension or successor agreement of the New START Treaty not 
be: (A) a trilateral arrangement among the United States, 
Russia, and China; and (B) an expanded arrangement to include 
all strategic, non-strategic nuclear-capable weapon systems.

        Report on the Nuclear-Armed Sea-Launched Cruise Missile

    The committee notes that the 2018 Nuclear Posture Review 
(NPR) proposes to pursue a nuclear-armed sea-launched cruise 
missile (SLCM). The committee seeks additional clarification 
from the Department of Defense on why the capability is 
required and what impacts the deployment of a nuclear SLCM 
would have on the Navy. The committee notes that the Department 
is conducting an analysis of alternatives for the low-yield 
nuclear-armed SLCM.
    The committee therefore directs the Chief of Naval 
Operations to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than February 28, 2020, on the nuclear-armed 
SLCM. The report should include an assessment of the following:
    (1) operational impacts to the conventional surface or 
submarine fleet, in particular with regard to port calls, base 
security, crew training, Personnel Reliability Program 
requirements, and crew certification;
    (2) other impacts to missions of the conventional surface 
or submarine fleet if a nuclear SLCM were deployed; and
    (3) any other risks and benefits to the Navy's surface 
fleet should a nuclear SLCM be deployed.
    The report should be provided in unclassified form, with a 
classified annex as necessary. The committee further directs 
the Chief of Naval Operations to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services on analysis of alternatives 
once completed.

                         Cyber-Related Matters


           Air Combat Training System and Spectrum Allocation

    The committee notes that the January 2015 spectrum auction 
of Advanced Wireless Service licenses for three defined 
frequency bands, known as AWS-3, affected infrastructure for 
several Air Combat Training System (ACTS) programs including 
those that impact the F-35 program. The committee is concerned 
that the relocation or compression of spectrum from the AWS-3 
auction, specifically from the 1755-1780 megahertz (MHz) band, 
may have adversely impacted ACTS programs as it relates to F-35 
testing and evaluation and other related areas, such as joint 
interoperable live virtual constructive (LVC) training systems.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Armed Services Committee no 
later than December 31, 2019, on actions taken related to 
impact mitigation of the Advanced Wireless Services 3 auction, 
and how relocation and compression efforts to date have been 
managed for DoD ACTS programs, F-35, electronic warfare 
programs, satellite operations, and other related areas.

                       Allied 5G Network Security

    The committee is deeply concerned about the security of 5G 
wireless networks. Given that U.S. military forces operate 
worldwide, oftentimes on local networks, the security of those 
networks is paramount to United States national security. As 
senior defense leaders have repeatedly testified before the 
committee, the ability to reliably and securely share 
information is a bedrock principle of American military 
alliances. The committee is concerned that U.S. allies, and 
partners may choose to include risky telecommunications 
equipment in their 5G networks from companies like Huawei and 
ZTE.
    The Committee therefore directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide to the congressional defense committees, not later than 
January 1, 2020, a report detailing the projected and potential 
impact to U.S. operations as a consequence of the adoption of 
5G technology products from Huawei and ZTE by U.S. partners and 
allies. The report should examine the Huawei and ZTE products 
in current use in overseas communications networks, new 
products currently in testing but projected for production, and 
current risk mitigation practices for U.S. forces. This report 
shall have both unclassified and classified portions.

  Briefing on the Integration of Cyber Planning at Unified Combatant 
                                Commands

    The committee acknowledges U.S. Cyber Command's (CYBERCOM) 
efforts to develop and mature the Cyberspace Operations 
Integrated Planning Elements (COIPEs), teams of cyber 
operations planners from CYBERCOM who are forward staged at the 
unified combatant commands. While encouraged that CYBERCOM is 
seeking to integrate its planners at the geographic combatant 
commands and other functional combatant commands, the committee 
is concerned that this model could be hampered by the same 
issues that plagued the Cyber Support Elements, a defunct 
CYBERCOM concept similar to the COIPEs that were first briefed 
to the committee in 2010. While these were operationalized at 
varying degrees, their deactivation and the subsequent need for 
COIPEs suggests the Cyber Support Element concept was executed 
poorly. Therefore, the committee directs the CYBERCOM 
Commander, in coordination with the Principal Cyber Advisor, to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than January 31, 2020, on how the COIPEs are being 
organized, staffed, implemented, and utilized by the unified 
combatant commands. Additionally, the briefing will cover how 
the COIPE concept is distinctive from the Cyber Support 
Elements, and how the development of the COIPEs will avoid the 
problems encountered by the Cyber Support Elements.

Comptroller General Report to Study the Department of Defense's Current 
           Inventory of Internet Protocol Version 4 Addresses

    The committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 
States to submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees not later than March 1, 2020, on the Department of 
Defense's status and plans to transition from Internet Protocol 
version 4 (IPv4) to Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). The 
Comptroller General's report should assess:
    (1) the technical and security necessity for the Department 
of Defense to transition from IPv4 to IPv6;
    (2) any existing plans and requirements for transitioning 
from IPv4 to IPv6;
    (3) the number and ranges of IPv4 addresses assigned to the 
Department of Defense;
    (4) of those assigned, the address ranges that are unused 
by the Department of Defense;
    (5) any statutory, policy, or security limitations that may 
preclude the Department of Defense's ability to transfer 
unutilized addresses;
    (6) the ability of the Department of Defense to transfer 
IPv4 addresses upon transitioning to IPv6;
    (7) estimated costs associated with transition to IPv6; and
    (8) any other matters the Comptroller General determines 
appropriate.

       Cyber Capability Development, Acquisition, and Sustainment

    The committee supports the Department of Defense's 
objective of building a superior cyber force, which includes 
the acquisition, development, and sustainment of accesses and 
tools required to enable military cyber operations. However, 
the committee notes with concern the potential that the 
nation's cyber force could be hindered with tools and accesses 
being developed and stored by different components of the 
services and Department of Defense agencies and elements. For 
all the components under its authority, U.S. Cyber Command 
should maintain a comprehensive and dynamic inventory of 
subordinate elements' accesses and tools, and emphasize the 
importance of sustaining these cyber-specific capabilities.
    To this end, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than February 1, 2020, on the Department's strategy 
for acquisition, development, and sustainment of cyber-specific 
accesses and tools. This briefing should include details of the 
processes, procedures, roles and responsibilities, and 
sustainment plans for the Department of Defense's cyber 
capabilities. Additionally, the briefing should detail how the 
Department acquires tools, capabilities, and accesses from non-
governmental sources, and conducts due diligence of these 
vendors.

         Cybersecurity of Army Space and Missile Defense Assets

    The budget request contained $46.9 million in PE 65602A for 
Army Technical Test Instrumentation and Targets. The committee 
supports the Department of Defense efforts to improve 
cybersecurity, resiliency, and hardening of net-centric weapon 
systems and space assets. The committee encourages the 
Secretary of Defense to continue to provide cyber protection 
for operational Army space and missile defense systems.
    The committee recommends $51.9 million, an increase of $5.0 
million, in PE 65602A for Army Technical Test Instrumentation 
and Targets to accelerate cybersecurity research and 
development providing cyber protection for operational Army 
space and missile defense assets.

         Cybersecurity of Biosecurity and Pathogen Threat Data

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense's work 
on biosecurity and pathogen threats spans several subordinate 
organizations and that the security of the data relating to 
these issues is critical to U.S. national security. The 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report 
to the congressional defense committees not later than March 1, 
2020 that assesses the cybersecurity of Department of Defense 
entities engaged in the development, storage, processing, and 
transmission within the Department and to other United States 
government entities of data related to biothreats and 
pathogens. This assessment should examine, but not be limited 
to, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Defense 
Threat Reduction Agency, U.S. Army Edgewood Chemical Biological 
Center, U.S. Army Medical Research Institute of Infectious 
Diseases, U.S. Naval Medical Research Center, Joint Pathology 
Center, proving grounds where biological research and 
development is conducted, and military laboratories working 
with pathogens. The report should describe any vulnerabilities 
or deficiencies, and recommend steps for remediation of such 
vulnerabilities or deficiencies. A complementary implementation 
plan for addressing the report's recommendations should be 
provided to the congressional defense committees no later than 
one year after the delivery of the report.

                   Cybersecurity of the Supply Chain

    The committee notes that effective and efficient supply 
chain management is critical for supporting the readiness and 
capabilities of the warfighter. U.S. Transportation Command 
(TRANSCOM), the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA), and the 
military services provide logistics capabilities that seek to 
deliver support to the warfighter at the right place, time, and 
cost. To meet this need, TRANSCOM, DLA, and the military 
services use information systems such as the Integrated Data 
Environment Global Transportation Convergence (IGC) database 
where 7,500 users have access to near-real time, in-transit 
visibility of 8 million lines of items of supply and 
transportation data.
    The Department's Task Force on Survivable Logistics 
examined the threats posed by strategic competitors to military 
logistics and found that logistics information systems are 
potentially vulnerable to cyber attacks. The wide use of non-
secure information technology across the logistics enterprise 
makes the military's systems potentially more susceptible to 
enemy activity as does the integration with commercial networks 
for suppliers and mobility. The task force also found that the 
Department has not conducted an end-to-end vulnerability 
assessment to remedy cyber challenges to logistics information 
systems that could be exploited in a strategic competition. 
Moreover, the Department does not have a corrective action plan 
to mitigate the potential risks associated with vulnerabilities 
in the logistics arena.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to evaluate to what extent the Department has 
identified and addressed cybersecurity risks to its supply 
chain; to what extent the Department has visibility into 
cybersecurity risks to its supply chain for activities led by 
commercial networks and contractors; to what extent the 
Department has corrective action plans in place to mitigate 
cybersecurity risks associated with the supply chain; and any 
other related matters the Comptroller General considers 
appropriate.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 1, 2020, on preliminary findings of the 
Comptroller General's evaluation, and to present final results 
in a format and timeframe agreed to at the time of the 
briefing.

                  Department of Defense Cloud Strategy

    The committee commends the Department of Defense for its 
Cloud Strategy, reasserting the Department's commitment to 
cloud technology and the need to view cloud initiatives from an 
enterprise perspective for more effective adoption. As part of 
the strategy, the Department has delineated the tangible 
objectives and benefits from a migration to cloud 
infrastructure, to include application of advanced 
computational power, scalability, and robust resiliency. Cloud 
infrastructure, such as the Joint Enterprise Defense 
Infrastructure, allows users to access information from 
anywhere at any time, effectively removing the need for the 
user to be in the same physical location as the hardware that 
stores the data. Before cloud technology had matured to its 
current state, the Department had purchased information 
technologies with capacities to support the widest possible 
sets of contingencies and uses, resulting in significant 
underutilization and overinvestment. The ability of cloud 
infrastructure to scale ensures that the Department efficiently 
manages and modernizes its information technology needs and 
demands. The committee endorses the Department's strategy and 
concept for a flexible enterprise cloud architecture that 
enshrines the need and value for both general purpose and fit-
for-purpose cloud solutions through a multi-cloud, multi-vendor 
approach.

           Department of Defense Cyber Red Team Alternatives

    The committee recognizes the importance of crowdsourced 
security testing programs such as Hack the Pentagon that 
utilize technology platforms and ethical security researchers 
to test for cyber vulnerabilities within the Department of 
Defense. The committee notes that the Director of Operational 
Test and Evaluation recently concluded that the Department's 
cyber testing is ``handicapped by lack of expertise'' and tools 
to assess software-intensive weapon systems. Third-party 
security researchers offer the Department the manpower and 
expertise needed to find cyber vulnerabilities in weapon 
platforms, personally identifiable information, health data, 
and other critical defense systems in order to fix these 
vulnerabilities. The committee is aware that the Department 
funded a multiyear effort to enhance the scope of third-party 
cyber testing. These programs have been successful at finding 
vulnerabilities in defense systems, including weapon systems, 
quickly and have proven cost-effective. Therefore, in order to 
better secure the Department from cyber attacks and 
vulnerabilities, the committee encourages the Department to 
evaluate its use of third-party crowdsourced security platforms 
to inform cybersecurity priorities, policy, and requirements.

 Efforts to Leverage Education Programs for the Department of Defense 
                            Cyber Workforce

    The committee recognizes the challenges facing the 
Department of Defense in recruiting, training, retaining, and 
building its workforce for cyberspace operations. This is even 
more difficult as the country as a whole faces a cybersecurity 
workforce shortage of nearly 314,000 individuals as of April 
2019. The committee is aware of the multiple programs at the 
primary, secondary, and postsecondary levels to encourage 
students to get involved with technology and cybersecurity, but 
the committee is concerned that the Department of Defense and 
the military services are not postured to leverage these 
efforts without expanding their visibility and awareness of all 
the various initiatives underway. The current recruitment 
efforts by the military services do not appear calibrated for 
the needs of the Department in building its cyberspace force.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than March 31, 2020, on the Department's efforts to 
leverage and invest in the educational programs directed at 
primary, secondary, and postsecondary levels that are best 
suited to contribute to the Department's cyber workforce. The 
briefing should include information about how the military 
services are tailoring recruitment efforts for cyber fields, 
including emerging areas such as artificial intelligence, 
software engineering, data sciences, quantum sciences, and 
other related cross-functional technology fields.

   Military Cyber Operations and Activities with Allies and Partners

    The 2018 National Defense Strategy states that alliances 
and partnerships are one of the key elements the Department of 
Defense must possess to complement and enhance its warfighting 
capabilities. Similarly, the 2018 Department of Defense Cyber 
Strategy states that the Department will work with allies and 
partners to contest cyber activity that could threaten U.S. 
military forces and missions and to counter the exfiltration of 
sensitive Department information. While conducting cyber 
operations with allies and partners can enhance our nation's 
security and that of our allies and partners, it could also 
present challenges such as differing national security 
priorities and policies, laws, changing allegiances, 
transparency, and classification issues.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to provide the congressional defense 
committees with an assessment of current military cyber 
operations with allies and partners. The assessment should 
include examples of offensive, defensive, and 
counterintelligence cyberspace operations that the Department 
conducts with allies and foreign partners and associated 
funding authorities or gaps; the status of current agreements 
and partnerships with countries with which the Department 
conducts regular cyberspace operations, including cyber threat 
information-sharing efforts and agreements; what is known about 
benefits and challenges the Department experiences in 
conducting cyberspace operations with allies and foreign 
partners and the extent to which the Department is taking 
action to address any challenges; the extent to which the 
Department considers and incorporates allies' and foreign 
partners' capabilities, laws, and policies into the planning 
process for cyberspace operations; and any other matters the 
Comptroller General determines to be relevant.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 1, 2020, on the Comptroller General's 
preliminary findings, and to present final results to the 
congressional defense committees in a format and timeframe 
agreed to at the time of the briefing.

                 Persistent Cyber Training Environment

    The committee judges the training of the service members 
and civilians dedicated to cyberspace operations as paramount, 
and a critical component to the nation's supremacy in 
cyberspace. To ensure unity of effort and synchronization in 
training across the military services, U.S. Cyber Command is 
developing the Persistent Cyber Training Environment (PCTE), 
with the U.S. Army serving as the program's executive agent. In 
concept, PCTE will be a hybrid cloud-based training platform 
supporting individual sustainment training, team certification, 
and provide the foundation for a collective training network. 
The committee supports PCTE as the mechanism for training the 
military and civilian personnel involved in cyberspace 
operations to maintain their skills and certification required 
to continue to work on missions.
    To ensure the development of the program aligns with the 
program objectives, the committee directs the Commander of U.S. 
Cyber Command, in coordination with the Secretary of the Army, 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
by January 31, 2020, on PCTE. This briefing must include 
details on PCTE's governance framework and structure, current 
and projected program requirements, and acquisition schedule 
and plan, as well as a demonstration of the platform.

  Pilot Program Authority to Enhance Cybersecurity and Resiliency of 
                        Critical Infrastructure

    The committee supports the ongoing relationship and 
collaboration between the Department of Defense and the 
Department of Homeland Security to enhance cybersecurity and 
resiliency of critical infrastructure, as evidenced by the 
pilot program authorized in section 1650 of the John S. McCain 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public 
Law 115-232). The committee believes that state and non-state 
adversaries continue to conduct cyber operations that hold 
critical infrastructure and key resources at risk, and notes 
with concern the under-use of this authority since both 
departments have yet to maintain a sustained and recurring 
relationship of technical personnel.
    The committee is supportive of the signed memorandum of 
understanding (MOU) between the two departments, including an 
agreement to jointly prioritize high-value national functions 
and non-Department of Defense-owned mission-critical 
infrastructure deemed to be most important to the military. The 
committee views this aspect of the MOU as central to the 
complementary cybersecurity roles and missions of the 
Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security, and 
notes that the Department of Defense's ``defend forward'' 
posture can inform and guide Department of Homeland Security 
efforts to anticipate adversary action and understand potential 
risks to critical infrastructure.
    Therefore, in order to ensure maturation and development of 
a sustained and recurring relationship that enhances 
cybersecurity cooperation, the committee directs the Secretary 
of Defense to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by March 2, 2020, on the use and implementation of the 
pilot program authorized in section 1650, including any 
implementation mechanisms, lines of effort, joint principles, 
and plans for maintaining a sustained and recurring 
relationship between the Department of Defense and the 
Department of Homeland Security after termination of the 
authority on September 30, 2022.

         Report on Information Security and Endpoint Accounting

    The committee notes that section 1653 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328) required the Department of Defense to develop and enforce 
a new policy referred to as ``comply-to-connect.'' In general, 
a comply-to-connect policy requires that a computer be in 
compliance with the network's configuration standards before it 
is allowed to participate in the network. A complementary 
concept is ``continuous monitoring'' and associated solutions 
which automatically detect and remediate vulnerabilities, 
primarily on endpoint devices such as computers and mobile 
phones.
    The committee remains concerned that the Department of 
Defense still lags the private sector in accounting for 
endpoints connected to the Department of Defense Information 
Network (DODIN). Therefore, the committee directs the Chief 
Information Officer (CIO) of the Department of Defense to 
submit a report to the congressional defense committees by 
February 1, 2020, on implementation of the plan required by 
subparagraph (a)(1)(A) of section 1653 of Public Law 114-328. 
At a minimum, the report shall include:
    (1) a detailed assessment of progress made to date towards 
implementing the plan;
    (2) an explanation of any barriers the Department has 
encountered in its efforts to provide a comprehensive 
accounting of endpoints connected to the DODIN;
    (3) an overview of how ``comply-to-connect'' and 
``continuous monitoring'' relate to the overall cybersecurity 
strategy of the Department; and
    (4) any other matters the CIO determines appropriate.

        Report on Principal Cyber Advisor Resources and Manning

    Section 2224 of title 10, United States Code, authorized 
the position of a Principal Cyber Advisor (PCA) to the 
Secretary of Defense, to counsel the Secretary specifically on 
military cyber forces and activities and supervise cyber 
activities related to offensive missions, defense of the United 
States, and defense of Department of Defense networks, 
including oversight of policy and operational considerations, 
resources, personnel, and acquisition and technology. Since 
2017, this position has been held by the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense for Homeland Defense and Global Security (ASD GS&HD), a 
role which includes the oversight of the planning capability 
development, and operational implementation in the mission 
areas of countering weapons of mass destruction; cyber; space; 
defense continuity; mission assurance; defense support of civil 
authorities; and supervision of the homeland defense activities 
of the Department of Defense. Since the creation of the PCA 
position, the office of the PCA has benefited from having a 
uniformed member of the military services in either the O-7 or 
O-8 level serving as the Deputy PCA, allowing for a senior 
individual to maintain focus on the responsibilities on a full-
time basis.
    The committee notes with concern that the responsibilities 
of the PCA cannot be afforded the requisite focus of the ASD 
GS&HD when that individual must contend with so many competing 
priorities. Additionally, the committee is equally concerned by 
the decision of the Joint Staff to eliminate the requirement 
for a general officer/flag officer to serve as the Deputy PCA. 
With the ASD GS&HD responsible for so many high-priority 
issues, the ability to rely on the experience and perspective 
of a senior military officer has been incalculable and the 
committee does not believe that a civilian may contribute to a 
comparable degree.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than January 31, 2020, on the role of the Principal 
Cyber Advisor, the Office of the Principal Cyber Advisor, 
current staffing, and a justification for reallocation of a 
military general officer/flag officer. Specifically, the 
briefing should include an analysis of the position of the 
Deputy PCA and the role of the military services in staffing 
the position.

  Shared Cybersecurity Services Program for the Department of Defense

    The committee notes the success of the Shared Cybersecurity 
Services Program, an effort by the Department of Homeland 
Security to host select security services on behalf of other 
Federal departments and agencies. This model offered improved 
cybersecurity to smaller Federal components that may lack the 
expertise to fully manage a comprehensive information 
technology security program, particularly given the increasing 
cyber threat. The size, scale, and federated nature of the 
Department of Defense's information technology footprint is so 
substantial that a similar model of shared cybersecurity 
services could reduce cybersecurity risk. The committee directs 
the Department of Defense Chief Information Officer to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than April 1, 2020, on the feasibility of a shared 
cybersecurity services effort for the Department of Defense.

                 Support for the Cyber Excepted Service

    The budget request contained $67.6 million in PE 33140D8Z 
for the Information Systems Security Program and the Cyber 
Excepted Service. The committee is encouraged by the Department 
of Defense's progress in introducing the Cyber Excepted Service 
(CES) personnel system, a component of the excepted service 
authorized in section 1599f of title 10, United States Code. 
CES will be a critical pillar in building a cyber workforce for 
the nation. However, the committee notes with concern the slow 
pace of implementation. While CES has been introduced at the 
Office of the Chief Information Officer, U.S. Cyber Command, 
and the Defense Information Systems Agency, phase 2 of the 
implementation has been challenged by multiple factors. Given 
the criticality of CES to building a cyber workforce, the 
committee urges the Department to consider plans for CES after 
phase 2 implementation, and specifically the processes 
necessary for Department of Defense components to petition for 
inclusion of their eligible positions to CES. Such positions to 
be considered could include those involved in machine learning, 
data science, artificial intelligence, penetration testing, 
software engineering, and related technical career fields. To 
properly fund the implementation of CES, the committee 
recommends an increase of $10.0 million in PE 33140D8Z.

Synchronizing the Department of Defense Emergency Operations Management 
                                Systems

    The committee recognizes the challenge of emergency 
operations management, both domestically and abroad, 
necessitating the synchronization of both military and civilian 
organizations, components, and agencies. During a natural 
disaster or physical incident, the Department of Defense must 
be able to communicate and coordinate with local authorities as 
well as other Federal agencies in responding to and providing 
assistance. The ability for government entities across the 
Federal, State, and local levels to communicate through a 
proven, widely adopted software solution should be a primary 
consideration for the Department of Defense.
    The committee believes the Department can improve how 
emergency operations management and preparation are 
synchronized across the Department and military services, and 
can ensure that various components avoid developing solutions 
indigenously when widely adopted technological solutions are 
commercially available. Furthermore, the committee is aware of 
currently contracted and available commercial off-the-shelf 
(COTS) platforms that provide a common operating picture, 
enabling State and local users (both public and private 
entities) to communicate effectively with Federal agencies with 
complete scalability and configurability.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services 
not later than March 31, 2020, on the Department's efforts to 
deconflict the emergency operations management systems utilized 
by various components across the Department and military 
services, and utilization of COTS solutions.

      Utility Resilience Planning to Support Cybersecurity Threats

    The committee recognizes utility systems located on 
Department of Defense installations are increasingly being 
connected to the internet and monitored or operated through 
computer-controlled industrial control systems (ICS). The 
benefits of such connection can be improved utility 
efficiencies and utility management. At the same time, the 
connectivity can expose the Department's utility systems to 
threats such as cyber attacks on ICS.
    The committee is aware that prior Government Accountability 
Office (GAO) reports have identified challenges with the 
Department's ability to protect ICS from cyber threats, which 
could result in system failure or disruption. For example, in 
2015, GAO reported that the military services had taken actions 
to mitigate risks posed by utility disruptions and were 
generally taking steps in response to Departmental guidance 
related to utility resilience. Further, GAO reported that at 
that time, the Department was in the planning stages of 
implementing new cybersecurity guidance to enhance the 
cybersecurity of ICS, but faced challenges in implementing the 
guidance. The Department subsequently directed the services and 
other Defense agencies to develop plans for identifying the 
goals, milestones, and resources needed to identify, register, 
and implement cybersecurity controls on facility-related ICS. 
However, the status of implementation of this direction remains 
unclear to the committee.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to evaluate the extent to which the military 
departments have developed and implemented plans and associated 
guidance to enhance the cybersecurity of ICS and what, if 
anything, remains incomplete; the challenges the military 
departments have encountered in implementing relevant guidance 
to enhance the cybersecurity of ICS and how effectively the 
challenges have been overcome; how effectively the military 
departments implemented industry leading practices to enhance 
cybersecurity for ICS; and how effectively the military 
departments conduct tests of the cybersecurity of ICS and 
implement improvements to security to counter any weaknesses 
identified.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 1, 2020, on preliminary findings of the 
Comptroller General's evaluation and to present final results 
in a format and timeframe agreed to at the time of the 
briefing.

                          Intelligence Matters


  Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Operational 
                               Assessment

    The committee recognizes the critical role that Department 
of Defense airborne intelligence, surveillance, and 
reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities play supporting military 
operations worldwide. The committee understands that 
responsive, persistent, and precise collection of operational 
information from the air will continue to provide an asymmetric 
and decisive advantage to operational commanders and tactical 
forces. The committee also recognizes that to meet the 
objectives described in the National Defense Strategy, the 
Department of Defense must modernize and adapt its ISR 
operating concepts and joint force structure to ensure it can 
maneuver, fight, and prevail in highly contested environments. 
However, the committee notes that there is an apparent lack of 
an integrated joint approach to the Department's ISR 
modernization strategy. The committee is concerned by recent 
military service decisions to reduce certain airborne ISR 
collection platforms without a clear transition plan or 
approved risk mitigation strategy, despite facing significant 
deficiencies in collection capacity.
    The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to conduct a 
stress test of joint intelligence, surveillance, and 
reconnaissance enterprise capabilities required to achieve the 
operational objectives of its highest priority global campaign 
plans and evaluate the capability and capacity of existing 
service programs of record to satisfy joint force requirements 
for critical categories of intelligence. The committee also 
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2020, on the 
results of this stress test. The briefing shall include 
capability and capacity shortfalls in platforms, sensors, and 
personnel, as well as address proposed risk mitigation 
strategies to address critical deficiencies.

                   China's Biological Weapons Program

    The committee remains interested in ensuring the Defense 
Intelligence Enterprise is providing timely, accurate, and 
effective intelligence to support information needs of the 
Department of Defense, and is aware of a recent Government 
Accountability Office report on long-range emerging threats 
facing the United States that highlighted potential pursuit by 
near-peer competitors of biological weapons using genetic 
engineering and synthetic biology. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, in 
coordination with the Director of the Defense Intelligence 
Agency, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by November 1, 2019, on an assessment of China's 
current and projected biological weapons program, the risks 
presented to the joint force, and the mitigation strategies to 
protect U.S. military forces against said threats.

     Comprehensive Assessment of the Roles, Responsibilities, and 
   Organization of the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for 
                              Intelligence

    The committee recognizes the importance of the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Intelligence's (USD(I)) management and 
oversight of the Defense Intelligence Enterprise, and commends 
the Under Secretary's continued efforts to mature the 
organization's support to the operational requirements and 
strategic priorities of the Secretary of Defense. However, the 
committee notes the shift in priorities and focus of the Office 
of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (OUSD(I)), 
and potential impacts to the organization's ability to 
effectively execute oversight of the policy, processes, and 
procedures that guide the Department of Defense's intelligence 
organizations. The committee further acknowledges that the 
USD(I) is the principal advisor to the Secretary of Defense and 
the Deputy Secretary of Defense for all intelligence, 
intelligence-related, counterintelligence, and security 
matters, and is responsible for exercising authority, 
direction, and control over all associated defense intelligence 
organizations and activities.
    Since the establishment of the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Intelligence (USD(I)) by the Bob Stump National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2003 (Public Law 107-314), 
the roles and responsibilities assigned to the position and 
office continue to evolve. In 2018, the Deputy Secretary of 
Defense augmented the responsibilities of USD(I) to include the 
protection of Department of Defense physical properties and 
personnel. Additionally, the committee further clarified the 
security related responsibilities of USD(I) in the John S. 
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 
(Public Law 115-232) to include enterprise-wide management and 
execution of the planning and resourcing for the personnel, 
physical, and industrial security components of the Department 
of Defense, as well as the protections required of Department 
classified information and controlled unclassified information. 
Most recently, in April 2019, the President directed the 
transfer of personnel background investigations from the 
National Background Investigations Bureau to the Office of the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (OUSD(I)), 
inclusive of the transition of associated operations, 
personnel, and resources.
    As a result, the Defense Security Service, an organization 
responsible to the USD(I), will be renamed the Defense 
Counterintelligence and Security Agency (DCSA) and will serve 
as the primary federal entity for conducting background 
investigations for the federal government. DCSA will also 
execute the responsibilities relating to continuous evaluation, 
insider threat programs, and any other responsibilities 
assigned to it by the Secretary of Defense. As such, the 
committee is interested in better understanding how these 
recent developments might impact the roles and responsibilities 
of OUSD(I), and the ability of the organization to execute 
objective oversight and management of the Defense Intelligence 
Enterprise, as the organization continues to balance the range 
of priorities specified by the National Defense Strategy.
    Accordingly, the committee directs the Comptroller General 
of the United States provide the congressional defense 
committees with an assessment of the roles, missions, and 
responsibilities of Office of the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Intelligence. The assessment should include details 
regarding USD(I)'s roles and responsibilities, if and how they 
have changed, and how the USD(I) addressed these changes; to 
what extent has the USD(I) developed processes for exercising 
authority, direction, and control over the Defense Intelligence 
Enterprise (DIE); actions the USD(I) has taken to adapt its 
approach to executing oversight and governance of the DIE, to 
include resource management across the aligned defense 
intelligence agencies; and to what extent the USD(I) has 
identified any misalignment of its roles and responsibilities 
regarding the DIE and efforts made to address such mismatch.
    The committee further directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to provide a briefing to the House Committee 
on Armed Services on preliminary findings with a report to 
follow to the congressional defense committees no later than 
April 30, 2020.

                Congressional Intelligence Notifications

    The Secretary of Defense maintains a responsibility to keep 
the congressional defense and intelligence oversight committees 
fully and currently informed of all defense intelligence 
capabilities and activities to support Department of Defense 
operational and strategic requirements. The committee is aware 
that the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence (USDI) 
issued a memorandum in January 2017 providing guidance to 
defense intelligence components on the necessity of providing 
timely and accurate notifications to Congress of all defense 
intelligence and counterintelligence activities. The committee 
supports additional efforts to enhance the Department's ability 
to provide timely, comprehensive, and accurate congressional 
intelligence notifications of intelligence and 
counterintelligence activities by the defense intelligence 
components listed in the January 2017 memorandum.
    Therefore the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services and the House Permanent Select 
Committee on Intelligence by October 4, 2019, on the 
Department's current congressional notification policies and 
procedures regarding defense intelligence activities and 
support by defense intelligence components supporting the 
Department of Defense. The briefing shall include plans to 
strengthen this notification process by the defense 
intelligence components, to include notifications of new and 
updated intelligence-sharing arrangements and Basic Exchange 
and Cooperation Agreements with second- and third-party 
international allies and partners to support Department of 
Defense requirements, and a description of current and planned 
coordination efforts with the interagency, specifically the 
Office of the Director of National Intelligence, to include any 
dispute resolution processes in regard to conflicting use of 
defense intelligence capabilities to support defense priorities 
and objectives.

  Current and Future Staffing Requirements of the Joint Intelligence 
                           Operations Centers

    The committee recognizes the evolving operational and 
strategic priorities of the Department of Defense will impact 
Defense Intelligence Enterprise capabilities and resources. The 
committee recognizes the ongoing efforts by the Under Secretary 
of Defense for Intelligence (USDI) to comply with the 
committee's direction specified by the John S. McCain National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-
232) to reduce and prevent imbalances in priorities and 
mitigate against insufficient or misaligned resources within 
the Defense Intelligence Enterprise.
    While the committee supports the efforts by USDI to create 
efficiencies across the Defense Intelligence Enterprise 
organizations, to include the Service Intelligence Centers and 
combatant command Joint Intelligence Operations Centers, and 
enable those elements to plan and posture staffing requirements 
accordingly, the committee is concerned that the shifts in 
current and future resourcing are lacking coherence to support 
the global mandate of the Department.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence, in coordination with the Director of 
the Defense Intelligence Agency, to provide a briefing to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by December 27, 2019, on how 
the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence 
and the Defense Intelligence Agency are managing resourcing 
requirements to the combatant command Joint Intelligence 
Operations Centers to meet current and future needs of the 
combatant commanders and the Department of Defense.

     Cyber Intrusions of the Defense Industrial Base and Academic 
         Institutions Affiliated with the Department of Defense

    The committee is aware of ongoing cyber attacks targeting 
the defense industrial base (DIB) and academic institutions 
affiliated with the Department of Defense. The committee is 
interested in gaining a better understanding of actual versus 
unsubstantiated open-source reporting to ensure proper 
oversight and resourcing of defense industrial base and 
academia cybersecurity measures.
    While the committee recognizes the critical roles and 
expertise provided by the DIB and those academic institutions 
providing the Department of Defense with expertise to support 
capability research and development, the committee is concerned 
about the security controls protecting these virtual networks, 
especially in light of continued reports of cyber intrusions 
affecting elements of the DIB and affiliated academic 
institutions. The committee recognizes the importance of 
dispelling erroneous reporting, yet remains committed to 
ensuring continued, trusted partnerships comprising the 
foundations of the DIB to ensure comparative advantage for the 
joint force against strategic competitors.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence, in coordination with the Director of 
National Intelligence, to submit a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by December 6, 2019, describing how 
the Department defines cyber intrusions, including hacks, 
probes, penetrations, breaches, and other similar activities. 
The report shall also detail cyber intrusions of the DIB and 
affiliated academic institutions that have resulted in the 
compromise and loss of critical information relating to 
Department of Defense capabilities, programs, and/or activities 
in calendar years 2017 and 2018. Further, the report shall also 
include date and length of intrusion to include all events 
resulting in loss of information; total numbers of events for 
probes, hacks, penetrations, and breaches, as well as 
identification of threat actors and methods; and assessment of 
the impact of the totality of compromised information.

 Development and Integration of Project Maven Services into Department 
                         of Defense Activities

    The committee believes in the importance of developing 
artificial intelligence capabilities to enhance and augment 
execution of Defense Intelligence Enterprise (DIE) activities 
in support of Department of Defense priorities. Activities such 
as Project Maven are important efforts to modernize 
intelligence tradecraft and develop capabilities that can 
create efficiencies across the DIE and enhance effectiveness of 
defense operations. However, the committee is concerned about 
the broad scope of Project Maven, and the totality of 
requirements increasingly levied against the activity, without 
a comprehensive understanding of the key milestones to track 
and measure progress and alignment of Maven accomplishments 
against evolving Department capabilities and activities.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than January 3, 2020, on 
Project Maven's strategy for tracking and aligning the 
activity's milestones against key DIE efforts, such as the 
Defense Intelligence Agency's Machine-assisted Analytic Rapid-
repository System (MARS) and continued development of 
Department of Defense advanced analytic tradecraft and 
foundational intelligence against advanced weapons systems and 
capabilities.

                Explosive Ordnance Disposal Intelligence

    The committee is concerned that the expertise of Explosive 
Ordnance Disposal (EOD) personnel is not adequately accessible 
and therefore not sufficiently utilized by the Defense 
Intelligence Enterprise and intelligence community to provide 
the combatant commands with the required intelligence to 
identify, combat, and deter violent extremism and other 
asymmetric threats.
    Explosive ordnance represents all munitions, inclusive of 
improvised explosive devices, propellants, nuclear fission or 
fusion materials, and biological and chemical agents. The 
primary consumers for this type of information are the military 
tactical explosive ordnance disposal units that employ the data 
for threat identification and neutralization. However, the 
required analyses to determine appropriate render-safe 
capabilities require operational and strategic intelligence to 
process and analyze the data, and data management processes to 
promulgate the resulting information. The committee believes 
the Department of Defense should modernize the processes and 
procedures to more comprehensively track, manage, and 
coordinate the capability and capacity of EOD intelligence 
within the intelligence community and the Defense Intelligence 
Enterprise to support all levels of render-safe capabilities.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence, in coordination with the Director of 
National Intelligence, to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services and the House Permanent Select 
Committee on Intelligence by March 6, 2020, on the capability 
and capacity of EOD intelligence expertise across the Defense 
Intelligence Enterprise and intelligence community. The 
briefing shall include an assessment of the coordination and 
integration of defense and national intelligence capabilities 
and capacity against EOD intelligence requirements, to include 
a mitigation strategy to address any identified gaps or 
deficiencies, information-sharing challenges, or any other 
impediments to integration of EOD expertise across the defense 
and intelligence communities. The briefing shall also include 
an assessment of the technical skills needed to address EOD 
intelligence requirements, while identifying any gaps or 
deficiencies in current personnel hiring and training 
structures, and a long-term plan to develop proficiency of EOD 
intelligence expertise in the defense and intelligence 
communities.

    Governance of Data and Service Acquisitions Supporting Defense 
                       Intelligence Requirements

    The committee recognizes initiatives across the Defense 
Intelligence Enterprise to collect, analyze, and share data to 
support critical foundation intelligence mission needs through 
various modernization initiatives like Project Maven and the 
Machine-assisted Analytic Rapid-repository System (MARS). 
However, the committee is concerned there is a lack of 
coordination and alignment of individual activities ongoing 
throughout the enterprise.
    The committee lacks a comprehensive understanding of how 
data, information, and services procured in support of defense 
intelligence requirements are tracked, governed, and made 
available across the enterprise. The committee is concerned 
that as defense intelligence organizations move to cloud-based 
data management infrastructures, there is not enough emphasis 
on deconflicting these efforts to maximize investment and use 
across the enterprise and foreign partner coalitions. The 
committee notes that every effort should be made to ensure 
acquisition strategies that support these procurements make 
these products and services available to the entire enterprise, 
including U.S. allies and partners.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than December 6, 2019, on 
an enterprise-level strategy for data, information, and 
services acquisitions. The briefing shall detail a strategy to 
ensure these acquisitions are widely available across the 
Defense Intelligence Enterprise, thus reducing duplicative 
investments and creating efficiencies in the acquisition and 
capability management process.

Information-Sharing Arrangements with India, Japan, and the Republic of 
                                 Korea

    International alliances and partnerships are critical to 
the pursuit and sustainment of the United States national 
security objectives, built upon foundations of shared values 
and intent. The committee recognizes the importance of the 
Department of Defense sharing information with international 
allies and partners in support of the planning and execution of 
the National Defense Strategy, as allies and third-party 
international partners enhance strategic stability across the 
Department's purview while increasing effectiveness of 
operations. The committee believes the mechanisms to share 
information across the ``Five Eyes'' alliance continue to 
mature through established exercises, exchange of personnel, 
and virtual data sharing, while that cooperation is potentially 
less robust with third-party partners.
    The committee supports the roles and contributions of 
third-party partners such as India, Japan, and the Republic of 
Korea, and recognizes their ongoing contribution toward 
maintaining peace and stability in the Indo-Pacific region. The 
committee is interested in understanding the policies and 
procedures governing the collaboration and information sharing 
with India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, and the ``Five Eyes'' 
alliance, and if opportunities exist to strengthen those 
arrangements.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence, in coordination with the Director of 
National Intelligence, to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by December 1, 2019, on the 
benefits, challenges, and risks of broadening the information-
sharing mechanisms between India, Japan, the Republic of Korea, 
and the ``Five Eyes'' alliance.

     Intelligence Support to Defense Operations in the Information 
                              Environment

    The committee supports Department of Defense efforts to 
improve capabilities and tradecraft to operate in the 
information environment. The committee is concerned about the 
Defense Intelligence Enterprise's (DIE) ability to provide the 
information operations community with all-source intelligence 
support, consistent with the support provided to operations in 
other domains.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence, in coordination with the Joint Staff 
Director for Intelligence and the Director of National 
Intelligence, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on 
Armed Services by November 1, 2019, on intelligence support to 
information operations. The briefing should include 
standardized defense intelligence lexicon for intelligence 
preparation of the battlefield for information operations, 
efforts to develop a process to ensure the full scope of 
emerging defense information operations threat requirements are 
structured to be addressed through the entirety of DIE 
capabilities, and how the Department perceives the future of 
defense operations in the information environment.
    The briefing shall also include a description of how the 
national intelligence community, through the National 
Intelligence Priorities Framework, will account for a more 
dynamic use of defense intelligence capabilities to augment and 
enhance support to Department of Defense operations in the 
information environment.

        Investments in Scientific and Technological Intelligence

    The committee remains interested in the continued efforts 
of the Department of Defense to improve scientific and 
technological intelligence (S&TI) capabilities and tradecraft 
across the Defense Intelligence Enterprise. The committee 
recognizes S&TI is critical to strategic competition with near-
peer competitors by ensuring comprehensive understanding of 
adversary capabilities and ability to inform development of 
joint force fifth-generation advanced weapons systems and other 
emerging technologies. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, in coordination 
with the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, to 
provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
December 6, 2019, on the alignment of current and planned 
Defense Intelligence Enterprise S&TI investments and activities 
to Department of Defense operational and strategic 
requirements. The briefing shall also include information on 
how the Department of Defense will continue the maturation of 
S&TI capabilities and tradecraft across the Defense 
Intelligence Enterprise.

  List of Foreign Entities That Pose a Threat to Critical Technologies

    The Committee directs the Director of National 
Intelligence, in consultation with the Secretary of Defense, to 
identify, compose, and maintain a list of foreign entities, 
including governments, corporations, nonprofit and for-profit 
organizations, and any subsidiary or affiliate of such an 
entity, that the Director determines pose a threat of espionage 
with respect to critical technologies or research projects, 
including research conducted at institutions of higher 
education.
    Maintenance of this list will be critical to ensuring the 
security of the most sensitive projects relating to U.S. 
national security, such as defense and intelligence-related 
research projects. The initial list shall be available to the 
head of each qualified agency funding applicable projects and 
will include the following entities already identified as 
threating: Huawei Technologies Company, ZTE Corporation, Hytera 
Communications Corporation, Hangzhou Hikvision Digital 
Technology Company, Dahua Technology Company, Kaspersky Lab. 
The Director of National Intelligence and the Secretary of 
Defense, or a delegate from both agencies, shall brief the 
findings to the House Committee on Armed Services no later than 
six months following the enactment of this provision.

         Maturation of Defense Clandestine Service Capabilities

    The committee recognizes the efforts made by the Defense 
Intelligence Agency, Defense Clandestine Service, to continue 
maturing capabilities to meet the Department of Defense's re-
prioritization on National Defense Strategy key issues, while 
remaining committed to standing combatant commander 
requirements, balancing strategic challenges to national 
security and operational requirements supporting ongoing 
counterterrorism conflicts. The committee notes the efforts the 
Service has made to prioritize information needs to support 
emerging capabilities and other strategic challenges. The 
committee encourages the Defense Intelligence Agency to 
prioritize workforce recruitment of individuals with language 
skills relevant to the National Defense Strategy, while also 
emphasizing areas of expertise in the science, technology, 
engineering, and mathematics fields, and to continue supporting 
counterterrorism requirements as appropriate.

 Qualitative Analysis of Adversary Development of Emergent Technologies

    The committee believes the Department of Defense must 
ensure that the Defense Intelligence Enterprise is providing 
timely, accurate, and effective intelligence to support 
acquisition and development of advanced joint force military 
systems and capabilities to support strategic competition with 
near-peer competitors like Russia and China. The committee is 
also aware of a recent Government Accountability Office report 
on long-range emerging threats facing the United States that 
represented a whole-of-government consensus on long-term 
strategic challenges.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, 
in coordination with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff 
and the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, to provide 
a report to the congressional defense committees and the 
congressional intelligence committees by December 6, 2019, 
containing a technical description of U.S. joint force emergent 
capabilities, as well as a description of advancements made by 
strategic near-peer competitors in comparable emergent 
technologies, including but not limited to hypersonic weapons, 
rail gun technologies, quantum computing, and counter-space 
capabilities. The report should detail technical data of 
emergent systems and capabilities of the U.S. joint force and 
of adversary capabilities, to include program mission, 
objectives and drivers for these technologies, development 
milestones, capability effective defensive and strike ranges, 
known vulnerabilities and strengths, and expected completion 
dates for the United States and each of its near-peer 
adversaries.
    Further, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and 
the Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency, to provide a 
briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later 
than November 1, 2019, on the initial findings in the report, 
including specific information that will be used to affect 
defense acquisition and development of joint force systems and 
capabilities to ensure that the United States maintains the 
capability to deter and address emerging threats.

        Reviewing the Integrated Defense Intelligence Priorities

    The committee notes that the Department of Defense is a 
major provider of intelligence capabilities to the intelligence 
community, as well as a major consumer of intelligence 
information. The committee is aware of the operational 
constraints on the joint force that using the National 
Intelligence Priorities Framework to guide the allocation of 
Defense Intelligence Enterprise assets presents, especially for 
those that are integral to warfighting functions. The committee 
is concerned that the Integrated Defense Intelligence 
Priorities (IDIP) activity is not providing the intelligence 
support to defense operations that section 922 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-
66) intended. Therefore, the committee directs the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Intelligence to provide a briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services by December 27, 2019, 
with the current status of the IDIP activity, how the IDIP 
highlights gaps in defense and national intelligence 
priorities, and the measures in place to mitigate these gaps. 
The briefing shall also include details on why the IDIP is 
distinct from the National Intelligence Priorities Framework, 
an activity in which IDIP customers currently participate. 
Finally, the briefing shall also include a recommendation on 
whether the Department of Defense will continue or suspend the 
IDIP requirement.

    Strengthening the Integrity of the Military Intelligence Program

    The committee recognizes the Department of Defense efforts 
to comply with the direction in the committee report 
accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2019 (H. Rept. 115-676) to review the Military 
Intelligence Program (MIP) budget to more clearly define 
guidance about which programs, projects, or activities should 
be assigned to the MIP. The committee is encouraged by these 
ongoing efforts, led by the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Intelligence (USDI), to strengthen oversight of the programs, 
projects, and activities that are assigned to the MIP. The 
committee supports USDI's actions to enhance the Department of 
Defense's ability to make more informed decisions to balance 
appropriate resourcing against programs, projects, or 
activities on behalf of the Secretary of Defense, while 
strengthening the overall integrity of the MIP.

         Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities Program

    The Tactical Exploitation of National Capabilities Program 
(TENCAP) serves as the centralized lead to identify and execute 
national intelligence cross-agency solutions to evaluate, 
enhance, prototype, and transition technologies across the 
national intelligence enterprise into military service systems 
and architectures to create tactical intelligence effects. The 
committee supports TENCAP and the flexibility these programs 
require to mature, but believes the Department of Defense must 
develop metrics for measuring the impact of affiliated and 
incubated programs, to more accurately capture which activities 
and capabilities have successfully transitioned to programs of 
record and substantiate effectiveness of the joint force. 
Further, the committee notes that failure is an intrinsic, and 
sometimes necessary, component of the innovation process, and 
does not necessarily view failure to transition to a program of 
record as a negative issue.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence, in coordination with the directors of 
the military service TENCAP offices, to provide a briefing to 
the House Committee on Armed Services not later than November 
1, 2019, on the plan to develop, track, and evaluate metrics 
associated with the TENCAP program for those projects which 
transition to programs of record.

    Transitioning the Function of Background Investigations to the 
                         Department of Defense

    Presidential Executive Order 13869 transitions the 
background investigation functions of the Federal Government 
from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), National 
Background Investigations Bureau, to the Department of Defense, 
Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency. The committee 
recognizes the importance of ensuring timely and efficient 
background investigations to overcome workforce staffing 
challenges of cleared individuals across the whole of 
government and private sector, and to vet personnel who come 
into contact with the Department's personnel, installations, 
and technology. The committee is aware of the temporary 
establishment of the Personnel Vetting Transformation Office in 
the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Intelligence 
to manage the transition of this activity from OPM to the 
Department and improve the processes and procedures related to 
vetting personnel for clearances across the whole of government 
and private sector.
    However, the committee is concerned about the potential 
risks to personnel management and mission such a transfer may 
present, and believes that appropriate protections of civil 
liberties and privacy must be prioritized throughout the 
transition, through the implementation of modern and efficient 
vetting measures. The committee recognizes the Department's 
leadership, through sharing best practices with the Office of 
the Director of National Intelligence, in reforming the vetting 
process using modern techniques such as continuous evaluation, 
and expects regular updates on the Department's progress in 
addressing the current background investigations backlog.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Intelligence, in coordination with the Director of 
the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency, to provide 
a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services by December 
27, 2019, on how the Department of Defense will transfer the 
background investigation mission and establish an effective 
personnel vetting capability to provide for the security of the 
Department, while maintaining the civil liberties and privacy 
protections of personnel under consideration to receive a 
clearance.

       Unified Air Force Airborne Signals Intelligence Enterprise

    The committee notes the goal of the Air Force Airborne 
Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) Enterprise (ASE) program is to 
produce an integrated, service-wide, capability-focused SIGINT 
architecture and investment strategy for the U.S. Air Force 
(USAF). However, the committee observes that while investment 
in the ASE program has produced significant advances in Air 
Force SIGINT capability, particularly within the RC-135 Rivet 
Joint program, the establishment of a true integrated airborne 
SIGINT enterprise architecture continues to elude the USAF. The 
committee is aware that significant capability gaps exist in 
MQ-9 SIGINT sensor relevancy against current threats, and the 
Air Force has not yet successfully addressed vanishing vendor 
issues with the high-altitude Airborne Signals Intelligence 
Payload (ASIP) program. Additionally, the USAF has not yet 
achieved a unified enterprise for SIGINT processing, 
exploitation, and dissemination (PED), despite having a 
distributed technical architecture within both the RC-135 Rivet 
Joint and Air Force Distributed Common Ground System (AF-DCGS) 
programs. The committee believes the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Intelligence should lead synchronization efforts with the 
intelligence community to integrate like data sources to enable 
more comprehensive analysis and exploitation on behalf of the 
military services.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by March 1, 2020, containing the Air Force's vision, 
strategy, and implementation plan to utilize Air Force airborne 
SIGINT program resources to establish a unified airborne SIGINT 
enterprise based on shared joint and intelligence community 
standards. The committee looks forward to additional 
clarification on how this enterprise will allow RC-135, U-2, 
RQ-4, MQ-9, Air Force DCGS SIGINT systems, and future SIGINT 
capabilities to operate as an integrated enterprise using 
cloud-based technologies and distributed crew concepts to 
directly deliver SIGINT data to the joint force from a global 
Air Force SIGINT system.

                             Other Matters


               Next Generation Inertial Measurement Unit

    The committee notes the ongoing efforts to design, develop, 
and manufacture next generation inertial measurement units 
(IMU) for use on strategic, hypersonic, and precision weapon 
systems. Multiple efforts across the Navy, Air Force, and 
Missile Defense Agency are looking to address both IMU 
obsolescence issues and implement capability improvements, 
primarily in the Trident D-5 ballistic missile, ground based 
strategic deterrent, conventional prompt strike programs, and 
ground-based midcourse defense system.
    To fully understand the breadth and scope of the ongoing 
IMU efforts, the committee directs the Assistant Secretary of 
the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition, in 
coordination with the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force for 
Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, and the Director of the 
Missile Defense Agency, to provide a briefing to the House 
Committee on Armed Services not later than December 15, 2019, 
on the development of next generation IMUs to address 
obsolescence and implement capability improvements.

                 Subtitle C--Cyberspace-Related Matters


 Section 1621--Notification Requirements for Sensitive Military Cyber 
                               Operations

    This section would modify section 395 of title 10, United 
States Code, which requires the Secretary of Defense to provide 
notification of sensitive military cyber operations to the 
congressional defense committees. The modifications include 
additional parameters to further define what offensive and 
defensive operations constitute a sensitive military cyber 
operation in order to strengthen oversight.
    The committee recognizes that the Department of Defense has 
implemented section 395 of title 10, United States Code. 
However, the committee notes that the Department's definition 
of and threshold for sensitive military cyber operations 
notifications is not aligned with the intent of the committee. 
As military cyber operations increase in frequency and scope, 
the committee expects to be continually notified and kept fully 
and currently informed, in order to conduct oversight.

           Section 1622--Quarterly Cyber Operations Briefings

    This section would modify section 484 of title 10, United

    This section would revise section 1648 of the John S. 
McCain National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 
(Public Law 115-232) by directing the Commanders of U.S. 
Northern Command and U.S. Cyber Command to conduct a Tier 1 
exercise by February 1, 2020. This section would also place a 
limitation on 10 percent of fiscal year 2020 funds authorized 
to be appropriated for the White House Communications Agency 
until the exercise is initiated. Despite legislation directing 
the exercise in Public Law 115-232, the Department of Defense 
was unable to perform the exercise within fiscal year 2019, and 
the committee is concerned that the Department may not be 
focused adequately on the potential for a domestic cyber attack 
necessitating defense support to civil authorities.

   Section 1625--Evaluation of Cyber Vulnerabilities of Major Weapon 
                  Systems of the Department of Defense

    This section would modify section 1647 of the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114-
92), that required evaluations of cyber vulnerabilities of each 
major weapon system of the Department of Defense by December 
31, 2019, by requiring notification and justification for not 
meeting the deadline. Further, this section would require a 
comprehensive report from the Secretary of Defense, acting 
through the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and 
Sustainment, upon completion of the requirement for evaluations 
of cyber vulnerabilities for each major weapon system to 
include vulnerabilities identified requiring mitigation, 
mitigation efforts, leveraging lessons learned across the 
Department, and incorporation of lessons learned to address or 
mitigate the likelihood of cyber vulnerabilities in major 
weapon systems through education and other changes earlier in 
the research, development, and acquisition cycle.
    The committee commends the effort of the Department to meet 
the requirements of section 1647 of Public Law 114-92 and 
appreciates the Department's recognition that cyber 
vulnerabilities identified may not only require software or 
hardware solutions, but changes in doctrine, organization, 
training, materiel, leadership and education, personnel, and 
facilities to provide for comprehensive cybersecurity of weapon 
systems and prepare forces to operate in a cyber contested 
environment. However, the committee understands that not all 
organizations and entities, such as U.S. Special Operations 
Command, are aware of this effort and believes that lessons 
learned should be shared enterprise-wide. Thus, the committee 
requires a better understanding of vulnerabilities identified 
and joint solutions, as well as how lessons learned are being 
leveraged, shared, and institutionalized across the Department.
    Finally, fidelity from the Department on resources relating 
to the evaluations and mitigation efforts requires improvement. 
Thus, the committee expects the Department to comply with 
section 1637 of the John S. McCain National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) 
requiring a budget display relating to ongoing cyber 
vulnerability evaluations and mitigation efforts beginning with 
the fiscal year 2021 budget submission.

     Section 1626--Extension of the Cyberspace Solarium Commission

    This section would extend the Cyberspace Solarium 
Commission, as established in the John S. McCain National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-
232) and its final report by 1 year, from September 1, 2019, to 
September 1, 2020.
    The committee notes that the Cyberspace Solarium 
Commission's work on developing a consensus on a strategic 
approach to defending the United States in cyberspace against 
cyber attacks of significant consequences would benefit from 
the inclusion of commissioners from the private sector who are 
able to represent the owners and operators of critical 
infrastructure, particularly the telecommunications, 
electricity, and financial sectors. These sectors have 
collaborated closely with government through the public-private 
partnership forum known as the Tri-Sector Executive Working 
Group.

  Section 1627--Authority to Use Operation and Maintenance Funds for 
       Cyber Operations-Peculiar Capability Development Projects

    This section would allow the Secretaries of military 
departments to use money appropriated for operation and 
maintenance (O&M) to develop cyber operations-peculiar 
capabilities up to $3.0 million in each of fiscal years 2020 
through 2022. The Department of Defense could use its O&M funds 
for rapid creation, testing, fielding, and operation of cyber 
capabilities that would be developed and used within the 1-year 
appropriation period. If the authority is utilized, the 
Department must notify the congressional defense committees not 
more than 15 days later, and present an annual report of the 
expenditures permitted under this authority.

    Section 1628--Notification of Delegation of Authorities to the 
       Secretary of Defense for Military Operations in Cyberspace

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
notify the congressional defense committees within 15 days of 
any delegation of authorities from the National Command 
Authority for military cyberspace operations.

 Section 1629--Limitation of Funding for Consolidated Afloat Networks 
                        and Enterprise Services

    This section would place a limitation on 15 percent of all 
funds authorized to be appropriated by this Act for the 
Department of the Navy's Consolidated Afloat Networks and 
Enterprise Services until the Secretary of Defense certifies to 
the congressional defense committees that the Navy has 
implemented the recommendations of the Office of the Inspector 
General's audit of the program.

       Section 1630--Annual Military Cyberspace Operations Report

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
provide to the congressional defense committees, not later than 
March 1 of each calendar year, an annual report on military 
cyberspace operations, to include cyber effects enabling and 
cyber effects operations, activities, and missions.
    The congressional defense committees do not receive written 
reports from the Department of Defense with details regarding 
military cyberspace operations. As military cyberspace 
operations mature, the committee expects to be kept fully 
apprised of operations, activities, and missions to include 
increasing fidelity on associated resources, units, tools, and 
infrastructure.

    Section 1631--Report on Synchronization of Efforts Relating to 
              Cybersecurity in the Defense Industrial Base

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a report to the congressional defense committees not 
later than May 1, 2020, on the Department of Defense's many 
efforts related to cybersecurity and the Defense Industrial 
Base. The committee supports efforts to improve cybersecurity 
across the Defense Industrial Base, both through efforts by the 
Department and amongst industry. The committee recognizes the 
Department's efforts to address the protection of Department 
information held outside of government networks, and is aware 
of many programs across various elements of the Department of 
Defense to assist vendors and contractors. However, the 
committee is concerned that these efforts are not coordinated 
or deconflicted. The committee is also concerned by the sense 
of confusion generated by either varying or contradictory 
regulatory requirements around cybersecurity, and even 
conflicting definitions of key terms such as ``Controlled 
Unclassified Information'' and ``For Official Use Only.''
    To address these deficiencies, the committee mandates a 
report that would have the Department comprehensively identify 
all disparate programs that aim to assist the Defense 
Industrial Base with cybersecurity and cybersecurity 
compliance. Moreover, the report would identify potential 
overlaps in program objectives, the requisite resources needed 
to ensure objectives are achieved, and identify incongruous 
regulations and standards across the entire defense enterprise 
that should be harmonized. The Department would also need to 
clarify overlap in the cybersecurity responsibilities of the 
Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment, the 
Chief Information Officer, the Chief Management Officer, the 
Director of the Protecting Critical Technologies Task Force, 
and the Secretaries of the military services.

 Section 1632--Briefings on the Status of the National Security Agency 
              and United States Cyber Command Partnership

    This section would direct the Secretary of Defense to 
provide quarterly briefings to the congressional defense 
committees and congressional intelligence committees on the 
nature of the National Security Agency and United States Cyber 
Command current and future partnership. The quarterly briefing 
mandate would terminate on January 1, 2022.

                       Subtitle D--Nuclear Forces

                       Nuclear Weapons Enterprise

    This section would add a requirement to the annual report 
on nuclear modernization to quantify funding for nuclear 
modernization within the Department of Defense as a percentage 
of the military services' and the Department's acquisition 
budgets. This section would also require a long-term plan for 
nuclear weapons modernization. The section would extend the 
original reporting requirement date to 2024 and put the 
original requirement into United States Code.

Section 1642--Briefings on Meetings Held by the Nuclear Weapons Council

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
provide to the congressional defense committees semiannual 
briefings on Nuclear Weapons Council meetings. The briefings 
should include the dates of the meetings and a summary of any 
decisions made by the Council pursuant to subsection at each 
such meeting, except with respect to budget decisions relating 
to the budget of the President for a fiscal year if the request 
for that fiscal year has not been submitted to Congress as of 
the date of the briefing. This section would also require the 
Secretary to submit at the time of the briefing any decision 
memoranda relating to the decisions specified in paragraph and 
a summary of the rationale and considerations that informed 
such decision.

 Section 1643--Elimination of Conventional Requirement for Long-Range 
                            Standoff Weapon

    This provision would eliminate the requirement for a 
conventional variant of the Long-Range Standoff Weapon.

  Section 1644--Extension of Annual Briefing on the Costs of Forward-
                  Deploying Nuclear Weapons in Europe

    This section would extend the requirement for the Secretary 
of Defense to provide a briefing on costs to forward-deploy 
nuclear weapons in Europe to 2024.

  Section 1645--Ten-Year Extension of Prohibition on Availability of 
  Funds for Mobile Variant of Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent Missile

    This section would extend the prohibition on a mobile 
variant of the Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent to fiscal year 
2030.

             Risk of Miscalculation Leading to Nuclear War

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
submit a report, not later than 120 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act, that contains a description of the 
current military-to-military discussions of the United States 
with counterparts from governments of foreign countries to 
reduce the risk of miscalculation, unintended consequences, or 
accidents that could precipitate a nuclear war, and bilateral 
and multilateral agreements to which the United States is a 
party that address such risks. This section would also require 
an assessment conducted jointly by the Secretary and the 
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the policy and 
operational necessity, risks, benefits, and costs of 
establishing military-to-military discussions with Russia, 
China, and North Korea to address such risks.

  Section 1648--Plan on Nuclear Command, Control, and Communications 
                                Systems

    This section would require a report from the Secretary of 
Defense, in coordination with the Commander of United States 
Strategic Command, not later than 270 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, on near-term and long-term plans for 
nuclear command, control, and communications, including planned 
architectures, requirements, classification requirements, 
supply chain security, timeline and cost estimates for long-
term investments, options for potential negotiation with 
adversaries, and any other matters the Secretary wishes to 
include. This section would also require an interim briefing on 
these issues not later than 90 days after the date of the 
enactment of this Act.

 Section 1649--Independent Study on Policy of No-First-Use of Nuclear 
                                Weapons

    This section would require an independent study on the 
policy of no-first-use of nuclear weapons, including assessing 
the impacts such a policy would have on reducing the risk of 
miscalculation, on nuclear nonproliferation, on force structure 
requirements, and likely reactions from U.S. allies and 
adversaries. The section would require that the federally 
funded research and development center submit the study to the 
Secretary of Defense not later than 210 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, and that the Secretary submit the 
study to the congressional defense committees, House Committee 
on Foreign Affairs, and Senate Committee on Foreign Relations, 
not later than 240 days after the date of the enactment of this 
Act.

   Section 1650--Independent Study on Risks of Nuclear Terrorism and 
                              Nuclear War

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to seek 
to enter into a contract with the National Academy of Sciences, 
not later than 30 days after the date of the enactment of this 
Act, to conduct a study on the potential risks of nuclear 
terrorism and nuclear war.

                  Subtitle E--Missile Defense Programs


             Section 1661--National Missile Defense Policy

    This section would update U.S. national missile defense 
policy, in accordance with the 2019 Missile Defense Review, and

overall constellation architecture. Further, this section would 
require the Director to submit an updated plan regarding 
requirements, cost, schedule, and deployment of the 
architecture and sensor payload to the congressional defense 
committees.

Section 1663--Requirement for Testing of Redesigned Kill Vehicle Prior 
                             to Production

    This section would express the sense of Congress that the 
Director of the Missile Defense Agency must address technical 
issues discovered in the redesigned kill vehicle. The section 
would also update Secretary of Defense waiver requirements of 
the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) should the Missile 
Defense Agency move forward with procurement of components 
prior to flight testing.

 Section 1664--Development of Space-Based Ballistic Missile Intercept 
                                 Layer

develop a space-based test bed.

  Section 1665--Organization, Authorities, and Billets of the Missile 
                             Defense Agency

    This section would require an independent federally funded 
research and development center assessment of the Missile 
Defense Agency (MDA) alignment to the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Research and Engineering.
    Further, this section would require the Secretary of 
Defense to notify the congressional defense committees before 
any of MDA's unique acquisition authorities were changed, and 
would prohibit changing the missile defense requirements 
generation process managed by U.S. Strategic Command. This 
section would also require congressional notification prior to 
transfer of civilian and military billets from MDA to other 
organizations within the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Research and Engineering.

  Section 1666--Missile Defense Interceptor Site in Contiguous United 
                                 States

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
designate an interceptor site for potential future deployment 
in the contiguous United States.

             Section 1667--Missile Defense Radar in Hawaii

would be exclusive to a submarine-launched platform and would 
direct the Secretary of the Navy to submit a report to the 
congressional defense committees on what would be required to 
integrate conventional prompt strike capability into surface 
ships.

            DIVISION B--MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATIONS

                                PURPOSE

    Division B provides military construction, family housing, 
and related authorities in support of the military departments 
during fiscal year 2020. As recommended by the committee, 
division B would authorize appropriations in the amount of 
$11,460,420,000 for construction in support of the Active 
Forces, Reserve Components, defense agencies, and the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization Security Investment Program for 
fiscal year 2020.

           MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AND FAMILY HOUSING OVERVIEW

    The Department of Defense requested $9,639,125,000 for 
military construction, $278,526,000 for Base Realignment and 
Closure activities, and $1,324,002,000 for family housing for 
fiscal year 2020. The committee recommends authorization of 
appropriations of $8,720,727,000 for military construction, 
$398,526,000 for Base Realignment and Closure activities, and 
$1,464,802,000 for family housing in fiscal year 2020. In 
addition, the committee recommends the inclusion of $45,055,000 
in undistributed savings from prior years. The Department of 
Defense also requested $9,844,526,000 for Overseas Contingency 
Operations military construction for fiscal year 2020. The 
committee recommends authorization of appropriations of 
$921,420,000 for Overseas Contingency Operations military 
construction within title XXIX.

                       Section 2001--Short Title

    This section would cite division B of this Act as the 
``Military Construction Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2020.''

 Section 2002--Expiration of Authorizations and Amounts Required to Be 
                            Specified by Law

    This section would ensure that the authorizations provided 
in titles XXI through XXX (other than title XXVIII) of this Act 
shall expire on October 1, 2024, or the date of enactment of an 
Act authorizing funds for military construction for fiscal year 
2025, whichever is later.

                      Section 2003--Effective Date

    This section would provide that titles XXI through XXX 
(other than title XXVIII) of this Act would take effect on 
October 1, 2019, or the date of the enactment of this Act, 
whichever is later.

                 TITLE XXI--ARMY MILITARY CONSTRUCTION

                                SUMMARY


    The budget request contained $1,453,499,000 for Army 
military construction and $499,279,000 for family housing for 
fiscal year 2020. The committee recommends authorization of 
appropriations of $1,211,999,000 for military construction and 
$549,279,000 for family housing for the Army in fiscal year 
2020.

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                   Explanation of Funding Adjustments

    The committee recommends the inclusion of funding for 
several projects requested by the Department of the Army but 
not contained in the budget request for military construction 
and family housing. These increases include:
    (1) $40.0 million for an Air Traffic Control Tower and 
Terminal at Kwajalein Atoll;
    (2) $21.0 million for a Railhead at Fort Drum, New York;
    (3) $18.5 million for a Vehicle Bridge at Fort Hood, Texas; 
and
    (4) $11.0 million for additional planning and design.
    In addition, the committee recommends an authorization of 
appropriation of $68.6 million, an increase of $50.0 million, 
for Housing Privatization Support in the Army's Family Housing 
Operation and Maintenance account. These additional funds are 
intended to hire additional civilian personnel to improve the 
management and oversight of the Military Housing Privatization 
Initiative (MHPI) developments at the installation and 
headquarters levels.
    Finally, the committee recommends a reduction of funding 
for projects contained in the budget request submitted by the 
Department of the Army for military construction and family 
housing. These reductions are:
    (1) $211.0 million in unspecified worldwide construction. 
The committee notes that this amount was included in the budget 
request as a placeholder to support the Army, Navy, Marine 
Corps, and Air Force response to the challenges facing the 
management and oversight of the MHPI developments. The 
committee supports the authorization of additional resources to 
hire additional civilian personnel to improve the management 
and oversight of MHPI developments at the installation and 
headquarters levels. However, the committee believes these 
resources should be directed to the appropriate military 
departments' family housing accounts, as recommended elsewhere 
in this report. Therefore, the committee recommends no funds, a 
reduction of $211.0 million, for this project;
    (2) $46.0 million for a Powertrain Facility (Machine Shop) 
at Corpus Christi Army Depot, Texas. The committee supports the 
requirement for this project and provides the full project 
authorization of $86.0 million included in the budget request. 
However, the committee supports the authorization of 
appropriations in an amount equivalent to the ability of the 
Department to execute in the year of the authorization for 
appropriations. For this project, the committee believes that 
the Department of the Army cannot fully expend the requested 
funding in fiscal year 2020. Therefore, the committee 
recommends an authorization of appropriation of $40.0 million, 
a reduction of $46.0 million, for this project;
    (3) $38.0 million for a General Instruction Building at 
Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. The committee supports the 
requirement for this project and provides the full project 
authorization of $98.0 million included in the budget request. 
However, the committee supports the authorization of 
appropriations in an amount equivalent to the ability of the 
Department to execute in the year of the authorization for 
appropriations. For this project, the committee believes that 
the Department of the Army cannot fully expend the requested 
funding in fiscal year 2020. Therefore, the committee 
recommends an authorization of appropriation of $60.0 million, 
a reduction of $38.0 million, for this project; and
    (4) $37.0 million for a Cyber Instructional Facility at 
Fort Gordon, Georgia. The committee supports the requirement 
for this project and provides the full project authorization of 
$107.0 million included in the budget request. However, the 
committee supports the authorization of appropriations in an 
amount equivalent to the ability of the Department to execute 
in the year of the authorization for appropriations. For this 
project, the committee believes that the Department of the Army 
cannot fully expend the requested funding in fiscal year 2020. 
Therefore, the committee recommends an authorization of 
appropriation of $70.0 million, a reduction of $37.0 million, 
for this project.

                  Army Test and Demonstration Program

    The committee understands that the Army is seeking to 
integrate innovative technology into the management of 
installations to promote safety, increase efficiency, lower 
costs, and improve the quality of life of service members and 
their families. The committee notes that there are barriers 
that make it difficult for the Army to test new technologies 
that could further these goals. Accordingly, the committee 
directs the Secretary of the Army to provide a report to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2020, that 
addresses the feasibility of creating a commercial technologies 
test and demonstration program. The report shall at a minimum 
contain the following elements:
    (1) a process by which the Army could identify commercially 
available technologies that improve the performance of 
infrastructure systems, the provision of base operations 
services, communications, safety, traffic management, energy 
use, time management, and related services that are available 
for testing on military installations;
    (2) a framework for identifying potential risks associated 
with remotely monitored systems, and how those risks could be 
mitigated; and
    (3) a methodology for assessing potential cost savings over 
the life cycle of the technology.

                         LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS


    Section 2101--Authorized Army Construction and Land Acquisition 
                                Projects

                 TITLE XXII--NAVY MILITARY CONSTRUCTION

                                SUMMARY

    The budget request contained $2,805,743,000 for Department 
of the Navy military construction and $365,531,000 for family 
housing for fiscal year 2020. The committee recommends 
authorization of appropriations of $2,752,571,000 for military 
construction and $425,131,000 for family housing for the 
Department of the Navy in fiscal year 2020.

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                   Explanation of Funding Adjustments

    The committee recommends the inclusion of funding for 
several projects requested by the Department of the Navy, but 
not contained in the budget request for military construction 
and family housing. These increases include:
    (1) $99.6 million for a Bachelor Enlisted Quarters at Yuma, 
Arizona;
    (2) $79.0 million for an Aircraft Paint Complex at 
Coronado, California;
    (3) $66.0 million for a Machinery Control Development 
Center at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania;
    (4) $59.0 million for NMC Ordnance Facilities 
Recapitalization, Phase 1 at Yorktown, Virginia;
    (5) $49.0 million for an MH-60 & CMV-22B Corrosion Control 
and Paint Facility at Norfolk, Virginia;
    (6) $48.0 million to complete the costs of a Seawolf 
Service Pier at Kitsap, Washington;
    (7) $37.4 million for a Child Development Center at 
Miramar, California;
    (8) $37.2 million for Range Improvements & Modernization, 
Phase 3 at Parris Island, South Carolina;
    (9) $28.0 million for a Missile Magazine at Seal Beach, 
California;
    (10) $18.7 million for a Police Station and EOC Facility at 
Blount Island, Florida;
    (11) $15.0 million for an Air Traffic Control Tower at 
Saint Inigoes, Maryland;
    (12) $11.0 million for additional planning and design; and
    (13) $9.9 million for PMO Facility Repair at San Diego, 
California.
    In addition, the committee recommends an authorization of 
appropriation of $81.6 million, an increase of $59.6 million, 
for Housing Privatization Support in the Navy and Marine Corps 
Family Housing Operation and Maintenance account. These 
additional funds are intended to hire additional civilian 
personnel to improve the management and oversight of the 
Military Housing Privatization Initiative (MHPI) developments 
at the installation and headquarters levels.
    Finally, the committee recommends a reduction of funding 
for several projects contained in the budget request submitted 
by the Department of the Navy for military construction and 
family housing. These reductions are:
    (1) $100.0 million for a Bachelor Enlisted Quarters at 
Joint Region Marianas, Guam. The committee supports the 
requirement for this project and provides the full project 
authorization of $164.1 million included in the budget request. 
However, the committee supports the authorization of 
appropriations in an amount equivalent to the ability of the 
Department to execute in the year of the authorization for 
appropriations. For this project, the committee believes that 
the Department of the Navy cannot fully expend the requested 
funding in fiscal year 2020. Therefore, the committee 
recommends an authorization of appropriation of $64.1 million, 
a reduction of $100.0 million, for this project;
    (2) $77.4 million for a Communications Station at Naval Air 
Station Sigonella, Italy. The committee supports this 
requirement. However, the committee recommends no funds in the 
base budget, a reduction of $77.4 million, for this project in 
order to transfer this project to Title XXIX, Overseas 
Contingency Operations Military Construction;
    (3) $75.6 million for a Master Time Clocks & Operations 
Facility (INC) at Naval Observatory, District of Columbia. The 
committee supports the requirement for this project and 
provided the full project authorization of $115.6 million in 
the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232). However, the committee 
supports the authorization of appropriations in an amount 
equivalent to the ability of the Department to execute in the 
year of the authorization for appropriations. For this project, 
the committee believes that the Department of the Navy cannot 
fully expend the requested funding in fiscal year 2020. 
Therefore, the committee recommends no funds, a reduction of 
$75.6 million, for this project;
    (4) $74.69 million for Pier 5 (Berths 2 and 3) at Yokosuka, 
Japan. The committee supports the requirement for this project 
and provides the full project authorization of $174.69 million 
included in the budget request. However, the committee supports 
the authorization of appropriations in an amount equivalent to 
the ability of the Department to execute in the year of the 
authorization for appropriations. For this project, the 
committee believes that the Department of the Navy cannot fully 
expend the requested funding in fiscal year 2020. Therefore, 
the committee recommends an authorization of appropriation of 
$100.0 million, a reduction of $74.69 million, for this 
project;
    (5) $73.35 million for Wargaming Center at Marine Corps 
Base Quantico, Virginia. The committee supports the requirement 
for this project and provides the full project authorization of 
$143.35 million included in the budget request. However, the 
committee supports the authorization of appropriations in an 
amount equivalent to the ability of the Department to execute 
in the year of the authorization for appropriations. For this 
project, the committee believes that the Department of the Navy 
cannot fully expend the requested funding in fiscal year 2020. 
Therefore, the committee recommends an authorization of 
appropriation of $70.0 million, a reduction of $73.35 million, 
for this project;
    (6) $60.0 million for II MEF Operations Center Replacement 
at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. The committee supports the 
requirement for this project and provides the full project 
authorization of $122.2 million included in the budget request. 
However, the committee supports the authorization of 
appropriations in an amount equivalent to the ability of the 
Department to execute in the year of the authorization for 
appropriations. For this project, the committee believes that 
the Department of the Navy cannot fully expend the requested 
funding in fiscal year 2020. Therefore, the committee 
recommends an authorization of appropriation of $62.2 million, 
a reduction of $60.0 million, for this project;
    (7) $53.4 million for Electrical System Upgrade at Bahrain. 
The committee supports this requirement. However, the committee 
recommends no funds in the base budget, a reduction of $53.4 
million, for this project in order to transfer this project to 
Title XXIX, Overseas Contingency Operations Military 
Construction;
    (8) $50.0 million for the I MEF Consolidated Information 
Center at Camp Pendleton, California. The committee supports 
the requirement for this project and provides the full project 
authorization of $113.87 million included in the budget 
request. However, the committee supports the authorization of 
appropriations in an amount equivalent to the ability of the 
Department to execute in the year of the authorization for 
appropriations. For this project, the committee believes that 
the Department of the Navy cannot fully expend the requested 
funding in fiscal year 2020. Therefore, the committee 
recommends an authorization of appropriation of $63.87 million, 
a reduction of $50.0 million, for this project;
    (9) $35.0 million for an Ammunition Pier at Seal Beach, 
California. The committee supports the requirement for this 
project and provides the full project authorization of $95.3 
million included in the budget request. However, the committee 
supports the authorization of appropriations in an amount 
equivalent to the ability of the Department to execute in the 
year of the authorization for appropriations. For this project, 
the committee believes that the Department of the Navy cannot 
fully expend the requested funding in fiscal year 2020. 
Therefore, the committee recommends an authorization of 
appropriation of $60.3 million, a reduction of $35.0 million, 
for this project; and
    (10) $11.6 million for ACV-AAV Maintenance Facility 
Upgrades at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. While the committee 
supports the requirement for this project, the committee 
believes the Marine Corps should first prioritize the recovery 
of existing infrastructure damaged by the hurricanes in 2018 
before undertaking upgrades to existing facilities. Therefore, 
the committee recommends no funds, a reduction of $11.6 
million, for this project.

                         Naval Public Shipyards

    The committee notes that the Secretary of the Navy 
submitted a comprehensive report on the state of the public 
shipyards to the congressional defense committees on April 11, 
2019. In this report, the Secretary indicated that the naval 
shipyard production facilities are in poor or failing 
condition. Additionally, the Secretary indicated that the 
capital equipment ``is well beyond effective service life, 
obsolete, unsupported by original equipment manufacturers, and 
at operational risk.'' To address these concerns, the Secretary 
proposed a plan to recapitalize the industrial base complex 
over the next 20 years with a proposed investment of $21.0 
billion. The committee also notes that the Comptroller General 
of the United States submitted a report entitled ``Military 
Depots: Actions Needed to Improve Poor Conditions of Facilities 
and Equipment That Affect Timelines and Efficiency of 
Maintenance'' (GAO-19-242) to the congressional defense 
committees. In this report, the Comptroller General indicated 
that ``the number of days of maintenance delay at the four 
Naval shipyards has increased by about 45 percent from fiscal 
year 2007 to 2017.''
    The committee strongly supports the Secretary's intended 
goals to revitalize and increase the efficiency of the 
industrial base. The committee believes this plan is essential 
to accommodate the expanding force structure proposed by the 
Secretary. However, the committee is unable to assess the 
efficacy of the Secretary's vision because the Secretary did 
not submit an implementation plan to begin this sophisticated 
recapitalization endeavor. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of the Navy to provide a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2020, that includes an 
implementation plan to revitalize the industrial base. Such a 
plan shall include the timelines associated with the following 
elements:
    (1) the capital equipment reinvestment plan by project, 
location, and fiscal year;
    (2) the military construction and facilities, sustainment, 
restoration, and modernization (FSRM) investment plan by 
project, location, and fiscal year; and
    (3) the environmental analyses required to implement the 
Secretary's plan.
    In completing this report, the Secretary shall include the 
program data sheet DD 1391 for each military construction and 
FSRM project included in the fiscal year 2021 fiscal year 
defense plan.

              TITLE XXIII--AIR FORCE MILITARY CONSTRUCTION

                                SUMMARY

    The budget request contained $2,179,230,000 for Air Force 
military construction and $398,647,000 for family housing for 
fiscal year 2020. The committee recommends authorization of 
appropriations of $1,819,130,000 for military construction and 
$429,847,000 for family housing for the Air Force in fiscal 
year 2020.

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                   Explanation of Funding Adjustments

    The committee recommends the inclusion of funding for 
several projects requested by the Department of the Air Force 
but not contained in the budget request for military 
construction and family housing. These increases include:
    (1) $54.0 million for a SOCNORTH Theater Operational

at Fairchild Air Force Base, Washington; and
    (11) $3.1 million to complete the F-35 Munitions 
Maintenance Facilities at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada.
    In addition, the committee recommends an authorization of 
appropriation of $53.79 million, an increase of $31.2 million, 
for Housing Privatization Support in the Air Force Family 
Housing Operation and Maintenance account. These additional 
funds are intended to hire additional civilian personnel to 
improve the management and oversight of the Military Housing 
Privatization Initiative (MHPI) developments at the 
installation and headquarters levels.
    Finally, the committee recommends a reduction of funding 
for several projects contained in the budget request submitted 
by the Department of the Air Force for military construction 
and family housing. These reductions are:
    (1) $117.5 million for a Weapons Storage and Maintenance 
Facility at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana. The committee 
supports the requirement for this project and provides the full 
project authorization of $235.0 million included in the budget 
request. However, the committee supports the authorization of 
appropriations in an amount equivalent to the ability of the 
Department to execute in the year of the authorization for 
appropriations. For this project, the committee believes that 
the Department of the Air Force cannot fully expend the 
requested funding in fiscal year 2020. Therefore, the committee 
recommends an authorization of appropriation of $117.5 million, 
a reduction of $117.5 million, for this project;
    (2) $84.0 million for Fuel Tanks w/ Pipeline/Hydrant System 
at Tinian, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The 
committee supports the requirement for this project and 
provides the full project authorization of $109.0 million 
included in the budget request. However, the committee supports 
the authorization of appropriations in an amount equivalent to 
the ability of the Department to execute in the year of the 
authorization for appropriations. For this project, the 
committee believes that the Department of the Air Force cannot 
fully expend the requested funding in fiscal year 2020. 
Therefore, the committee recommends an authorization of 
appropriation of $25.0 million, a reduction of $84.0 million, 
for this project;
    (3) $84.0 million for Airfield Development Phase 1 at 
Tinian, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The 
committee supports the requirement for this project and 
provides the full project authorization of $109.0 million 
included in the budget request. However, the committee supports 
the authorization of appropriations in an amount equivalent to 
the ability of the Department to execute in the year of the 
authorization for appropriations. For this project, the 
committee believes that the Department of the Air Force cannot 
fully expend the requested funding in fiscal year 2020. 
Therefore, the committee recommends an authorization of 
appropriation of $25.0 million, a reduction of $84.0 million, 
for this project;
    (4) $74.0 million for a Consolidated Space Operations 
Facility at Schriever Air Force Base, Colorado. The committee 
supports the requirement for this project and provides the full 
project authorization of $148.0 million included in the budget 
request. However, the committee supports the authorization of 
appropriations in an amount equivalent to the ability of the 
Department to execute in the year of the authorization for 
appropriations. For this project, the committee believes that 
the Department of the Air Force cannot fully expend the 
requested funding in fiscal year 2020. Therefore, the committee 
recommends an authorization of appropriation of $74.0 million, 
a reduction of $74.0 million, for this project;
    (5) $73.0 million for a Parking Apron at Tinian, 
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands. The committee 
supports the requirement for this project and provides the full 
project authorization of $98.0 million included in the budget 
request. However, the committee supports the authorization of 
appropriations in an amount equivalent to the ability of the 
Department to execute in the year of the authorization for 
appropriations. For this project, the committee believes that 
the Department of the Air Force cannot fully expend the 
requested funding in fiscal year 2020. Therefore, the committee 
recommends an authorization of appropriation of $25.0 million, 
a reduction of $73.0 million, for this project;
    (6) $68.0 million for a GBSD Mission Integration Facility 
at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. The committee supports the 
requirement for this project and provides the full project 
authorization of $108.0 million included in the budget request. 
However, the committee supports the authorization of 
appropriations in an amount equivalent to the ability of the 
Department to execute in the year of the authorization for 
appropriations. For this project, the committee believes that 
the Department of the Air Force cannot fully expend the 
requested funding in fiscal year 2020. Therefore, the committee 
recommends an authorization of appropriation of $40.0 million, 
a reduction of $68.0 million, for this project;
    (7) $42.0 million for a Munitions Storage Area at Azraq, 
Jordan. The committee supports this requirement. However, the 
committee recommends no funds in the base budget, a reduction 
of $42.0 million, for this project in order to transfer this 
project to Title XXIX, Overseas Contingency Operations Military 
Construction;
    (8) $35.0 million for MIT-Lincoln Lab (West Lab CSL/MIF) 
Inc 2 at Hanscom Air Force Base, Massachusetts. The committee 
supports the requirement for this project and provided the full 
project authorization of $225.0 million in the John S. McCain 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public 
Law 115-232). However, the committee supports the authorization 
of appropriations in an amount equivalent to the ability of the 
Department to execute in the year of the authorization for 
appropriations. For this project, the committee believes that 
the Department of the Air Force cannot fully expend the 
requested funding in fiscal year 2020. Therefore, the committee 
recommends an authorization of appropriation of $100.0 million, 
a reduction of $35.0 million, for this project; and
    (9) $24.0 million for an Air Traffic Control Tower at 
Azraq, Jordan. The committee supports this requirement. 
However, the committee recommends no funds in the base budget, 
a reduction of $24.0 million, for this project in order to 
transfer this project to Title XXIX, Overseas Contingency 
Operations Military Construction.

              Airspace at the Utah Test and Training Range

    The committee recognizes the importance of ensuring 
adequate training ranges and airspace to support fifth 
generation aircraft and development and training of future 
military capabilities. The Utah Test and Training Range (UTTR) 
plays an important role in supporting Air Force testing, 
training, and readiness, and the committee believes it is 
important to ensure UTTR is able to adequately support current 
and future military requirements.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than January 31, 2020, that assesses the 
capability and capacity of UTTR to support current and 
foreseeable military test and training requirements. The report 
shall assess whether the current airspace of the UTTR supports 
current and future requirements, any limitations associated 
with current range infrastructure and airspace, efforts to 
optimize airspace at the UTTR, and any timelines associated 
with such efforts.

             Long-Term Modernization of Lincoln Laboratory

    The committee recognizes the critical role that Lincoln 
Laboratory plays in conducting research and developing 
technologies that address critical national security 
challenges. In an effort to address aging infrastructure that 
supports Lincoln Laboratory, the Air Force has two military 
construction projects to support the Lincoln Laboratory West 
Laboratory. The first military construction project was 
authorized by the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232) and the second 
project is currently programmed for fiscal year 2022. In 
addition, the committee is aware of a long-term modernization 
plan being proposed for Lincoln Laboratory that could amount to 
more than $1.5 billion in infrastructure investments over a 30-
year period.
    However, the committee is aware that the military 
construction program may not be able to support such a large 
investment due to competing Air Force infrastructure 
priorities. The committee is also aware that many other Federal 
agencies, inside and outside the Department of Defense, make 
use of the Air Force contract with Lincoln Laboratory. In 
addition, other statutory authorities, such as section 2353 of 
title 10, United States Code, may not currently allow for 
infrastructure investments due to circumstances specific to 
Lincoln Laboratory.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than November 1, 2019, on funding and 
authorities under consideration to support the long-term 
modernization plan for Lincoln Laboratory. The briefing should 
include a discussion of legislative proposals under 
consideration that could provide a viable path to support the 
long-term modernization plan, including the benefits and 
equities of all Lincoln Laboratory contract users paying a fair 
share of facility sustainment, recapitalization, and 
construction costs.

                    Tyndall Air Force Base Recovery

    The committee is concerned about the devastation caused by 
Hurricane Michael at Tyndall Air Force Base on October 10, 
2018. The committee is also aware that the Department of the 
Air Force has made a decision to locate Joint Strike Fighter 
aircraft at Tyndall Air Force Base and plans to rebuild the 
installation as a purpose-built fifth-generation fighter ``base 
of the future.'' The committee directs the Secretary of the Air 
Force to submit a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services not later than January 31, 2020, on the detailed 
master plan for executing all actions, including funding 
requirements by fiscal year, to fully recover from Hurricane 
Michael and to support the beddown of three Joint Strike 
Fighter squadrons and an MQ-9 wing as previously announced. The 
report should also include details of the environmental impact 
analysis schedule as required by the National Environmental 
Policy Act of 1969 (Public Law 91-190), planning and design, 
anticipated construction schedule by year, and planned delivery 
dates of aircraft by fiscal year. The Department of the Air 
Force shall also identify any constraints to the execution of 
the rebuild of Tyndall Air Force Base and ability of the base 
to accept the planned delivery of the Joint Strike Fighter 
aircraft by 2023 as currently planned.

Secretary of the Air Force to make certain modifications to the 
scope and authorized cost of a previously authorized 
construction projects.

           TITLE XXIV--DEFENSE AGENCIES MILITARY CONSTRUCTION

                                SUMMARY

    The budget request contained $2,504,190,000 for defense 
agency military construction and $60,545,000 for family housing 
for fiscal year 2020. The committee recommends authorization of 
appropriations of $1,980,744,000 for military construction and 
$60,545,000 for family housing for defense agencies in fiscal 
year 2020.

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                   Explanation of Funding Adjustments

    The committee notes the budget request submitted by the 
Department of Defense for military construction and family 
housing included $150.0 million for the Energy Resilience and 
Conservation Investment Program. The committee supports this 
program and encourages the Department to continue to emphasize 
projects that will support increased resiliency of military 
installations and mission functions. Therefore, the committee 
recommends an authorization of appropriations of $190.0 
million, an increase of $40.0 million, for this program.
    In addition, the committee recommends a reduction of 
funding for several projects contained in the budget request 
submitted by the Department of the Defense for military 
construction and family housing. These reductions are:
    (1) $130.38 million for Kinnick High School at Yokosuka, 
Japan. The committee supports the requirement for this project 
and provided the full project authorization of $170.3 million 
in the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act for 
Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-232). However, the committee 
supports the authorization of appropriations in an amount 
equivalent to the ability of the Department to execute in the 
year of the authorization for appropriations. For this project, 
the committee believes that the Department of Defense cannot 
expend the requested funding in fiscal year 2020. Therefore, 
the committee recommends no funds, a reduction of $130.38 
million, for this project;
    (2) $100.0 million for Next NGA West (N2W) Complex, Phase 
2, Increment 2 at St. Louis, Missouri. The committee supports 
the requirement for this project and provided the full project 
authorization of $447.8 million in the John S. McCain National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public Law 115-
232). However, the committee supports the authorization of 
appropriations in an amount equivalent to the ability of the 
Department to execute in the year of the authorization for 
appropriations. For this project, the committee believes that 
the Department of Defense cannot fully expend the requested 
funding in fiscal year 2020. Therefore, the committee 
recommends an authorization of appropriation of $118.8.0 
million, a reduction of $100.0 million, for this project;
    (3) $96.3 million for Bulk Storage Tanks Phase 1 at Yokota 
Air Base, Japan. The committee supports the requirement for 
this project and provides the full project authorization of 
$116.3 million included in the budget request. However, the 
committee supports the authorization of appropriations in an 
amount equivalent to the ability of the Department to execute 
in the year of the authorization for appropriations. For this 
project, the committee believes that the Department of Defense 
cannot fully expend the requested funding in fiscal year 2020. 
Therefore, the committee recommends an authorization of 
appropriation of $20.0 million, a reduction of $96.3 million, 
for this project;
    (4) $65.8 million for Operations Center Phase 2 at Defense 
Distribution Depot Richmond, Virginia. The committee supports 
the requirement for this project and provides the full project 
authorization of $98.8 million included in the budget request. 
However, the committee supports the authorization of 
appropriations in an amount equivalent to the ability of the 
Department to execute in the year of the authorization for 
appropriations. For this project, the committee believes that 
the Department of Defense cannot fully expend the requested 
funding in fiscal year 2020. Therefore, the committee 
recommends an authorization of appropriation of $33.0 million, 
a reduction of $65.9 million, for this project;
    (5) $63.9 million for MEDCEN Addition/Alteration Increment 
3 at Bethesda Naval Hospital, Maryland. The committee supports 
the requirement for this project and provided the full project 
authorization of $510.0 million included in the National 
Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114-
328). However, the committee supports the authorization of 
appropriations in an amount equivalent to the ability of the 
Department to execute in the year of the authorization for 
appropriations. For this project, the committee believes that 
the Department of Defense cannot fully expend the requested 
funding in fiscal year 2020. Therefore, the committee 
recommends an authorization of appropriation of $33.0 million, 
a reduction of $63.9 million, for this project;
    (6) $52.0 million for a Mission Support Compound at a 
Classified Location. The committee supports the requirement for 
this project but notes that planning and design has not been 
initiated for this project and that, as currently presented, 
the Department cannot begin construction and cannot expend the 
requested funding in fiscal year 2020. Therefore, the committee 
recommends no funds, a reduction of $52.0 million, for this 
project; and
    (7) $10.0 million for contingency construction at 
unspecified worldwide locations. While the committee notes this 
authority was used for a project in fiscal year 2018, 
unobligated balances remain available in the military 
construction account and other authorities exist to construct 
projects that are in keeping with a national security interest. 
As such, the committee recommends no funds, a reduction of 
$10.0 million, for this program.

the National Guard and Reserves for fiscal year 2020.

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                   Explanation of Funding Adjustments

    The committee recommends the inclusion of funding for 
several projects requested by the Department of the Army and 
Department of the Air Force for their Reserve Components but 
not contained in the budget request for military construction 
and family housing. These increases include:
    (1) $91.0 million for a National Guard Readiness Center at

          TITLE XXVII--BASE REALIGNMENT AND CLOSURE ACTIVITIES

                                SUMMARY

    The budget request contained $278,526,000 for activities 
related to Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) activities. The 
committee recommends authorization of appropriations of 
$398,526,000 for BRAC activities.

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                   Explanation of Funding Adjustments

    The committee notes the budget request submitted by the 
Department of Defense for activities related to Base 
Realignment and Closure (BRAC) included $278.5 million for 
activities related to recommendations from the previous BRAC 
rounds. The committee notes that additional resources may allow 
for the acceleration of certain activities and also allow the 
Department to address emerging contaminates such as 
perfluorooctane sulfonate and perfluorooctanoic acid. 
Therefore, the committee recommends additional authorization of 
appropriations of $30.0 million for the Army, $60.0 million for 
the Navy, and $30.0 million for the Air Force Base Realignment 
and Closure accounts.

         TITLE XXVIII--MILITARY CONSTRUCTION GENERAL PROVISIONS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


  Child Play Areas at Exceptional Family Member Program Installations

    The committee notes that there are military members with 
dependents that are enrolled in the Exceptional Family Member 
Program (EFMP). Unfortunately, many of these dependent children 
do not have access to Americans with Disability Act (ADA) 
compliant playgrounds. The committee believes that it is 
imperative to have at least one ADA compliant playground at 
each Department of Defense EFMP designated installation. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
February 1, 2020, on the Department's efforts to ensure that 
play areas for dependents of service members at installations 
designated as locations for Exceptional Family Member Program 
are compliant with Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) (Public Law 
90-480) accessibility standards for play areas and meet 
evidence-based design standards for all ability inclusion. 
Specifically, the report shall include:
    (1) a list of all child play areas that are compliant with 
ABA accessibility standards for play areas and meet evidence-
based design standards at all military installations designated 
to support the Exceptional Family Member Program; and
    (2) a plan that details the Department of Defense effort to 
ensure that all non-compliant child play areas become compliant 
with ABA play area accessibility standards and meet evidence-
based design standards for all ability inclusion to include 
cost for upgrades and timeline for completion.

                      Defense Access Road Projects

    The committee notes that section 2865 of the John S. McCain 
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2019 (Public 
Law 115-232) expanded the types of projects eligible for 
funding under the Defense Access Roads program to include 
construction, repair, and mitigation projects related to sea-
level rise and recurrent flooding. While the committee 
recognizes this expanded list of project categories was enacted 
too late to inform project planning and design or submission 
for the fiscal year 2020 budget request, the committee does 
expect the Department of Defense to consider the use of this 
expanded authority for defense access roads going forward. 
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 1, 2020, regarding the implementation of the 
expanded Defense Access Roads program. The report should 
address the process and the criteria that will be used for 
selecting projects and a list of projects that have been 
identified as being eligible for consideration at the time the 
report is submitted. The list of eligible projects should 
include the geographic description, impacted military 
installation, road name or description, purpose, cost, scope, 
and Department of Defense Form 1391 for each project.

       Department of Defense Consultations with Native Hawaiians

    The committee remains concerned about consultations between 
the Department of Defense and Native Hawaiians. The committee 
notes the differing official policies between the Departments 
of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. The committee views favorably 
the maximum extent that the Department of Defense can enable 
coordination with Native Hawaiian communities ahead of military 
construction and land lease projects.
    Thus, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services by 
September 1, 2019, that details the avenues to include Native 
Hawaiians in DoD 4710.02. This report shall include a strategy 
from the secretary for greater inclusion of Native Hawaiian 
consultations in Department of Defense military construction 
and land lease activities. This report shall also include 
previous circumstances of consultations or meetings with Native 
Hawaiian stakeholders.

Feasibility of Transitioning from 100-Year Floodplain to Sea-Level Rise 
Modeling at Coastal Installations as a Planning Assumption for Military 
                         Construction Projects

    The committee notes that according to the Department of 
Defense's January 2019 report entitled ``Report on Effects of a 
Changing Climate to the Department of Defense,'' two-thirds of 
the 79 installations analyzed in the report are vulnerable to 
current or future recurrent flooding. The report also noted 
that several installations on the eastern seaboard are already 
experiencing the effects of sea-level rise. The committee 
further notes that ensuring the right planning assumptions are 
used for military construction projects on flood-prone 
installations can help ensure the viability of infrastructure 
throughout its 40-year planned useful life, increase the 
resiliency of the Department's installations, and result in 
cost avoidance after catastrophic flooding events. Accordingly, 
the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 
Acquisition and Sustainment to provide a report to the House 
Committee on Armed Services by February 1, 2020, that assesses 
the feasibility of transitioning from 100-year floodplain data 
to a forward-looking predictive model that takes into account 
the impacts of sea-level rise.

   Mold Assessment, Mitigation, and Remediation Efforts in Military 
                             Housing Report

    The committee is concerned with multiple reports of issues 
involving mold in Department of Defense housing to include 
privatized housing. These reports have indicated that mold in 
Department of Defense housing may have contributed to negative 
health effects on some occupants. These reports also pointed to 
lagging oversight of mold mitigation efforts at a number of 
Department of Defense housing locations. Therefore, the 
committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report 
to the Committee on Armed Services of the House of 
Representatives not later than February 1, 2020, on the 
following:
    (1) a meta-analysis relating to the health effects of mold 
exposure in housing, based on up-to-date scientific evidence;
    (2) an analysis of existing standards and practices for 
mold assessment, mitigation, and remediation developed by 
States, other departments and agencies of the Federal 
Government, and research organizations;
    (3) the feasibility of developing and implementing mold 
assessment, mitigation, and remediation standards for military 
housing that incorporate best standards and practices from the 
analysis under paragraph (2) above, and prescribe reasonable 
duties for occupants of military housing relating to mold 
mitigation; and
    (4) an analysis of ongoing efforts of the Department of 
Defense to assess, track, mitigate, and remediate mold issues 
in military housing.

  Report on Integration of Information Regarding Environmental Health 
 Hazards into Defense Occupational and Environmental Health Readiness 
                                 System

    The committee believes the Department of Defense needs 
better data and information related to the tracking and 
monitoring of environmental health and occupational health 
exposures. However, the committee is concerned that existing 
data systems may not provide either the capability required or 
interoperability with the Military Health System (MHS) Genesis 
electronic health record. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the Committee on 
Armed Services of the House of Representatives not later than 
February 1, 2020, on the following:
    (1) an analysis of how the Defense Occupational and 
Environmental Health Readiness System (DOEHRS) may be used to 
record information with respect to environmental health hazards 
in housing under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense 
(including privatized housing and blast pressure exposure);
    (2) the identification of potential environmental risk 
categories to be included in DOEHRS as a result of information 
received pursuant to housing inspections, reports, surveys, 
audits, or occupant complaints with respect to environmental 
health hazards;
    (3) a discussion of any data system or repository (other 
than DOEHRS) under consideration by the Secretary of Defense to 
collect, maintain, and track environmental health hazards in 
housing under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense 
(including privatized housing and blast pressure exposure);
    (4) a description of the current status of interoperability 
between DOEHRS and the MHS Genesis electronic health record 
system, and the necessary steps to ensure full 
interoperability;
    (5) a description of the desired end state with respect to 
interoperability between DOEHRS and an individual longitudinal 
exposure record; and
    (6) the feasibility and advisability of allowing personnel 
of the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans 
Affairs to have access to DOEHRS or a similar system.

                 Soo Locks, Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan

    The committee understands that the Soo Locks on the St. 
Marys River at Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, are the only 
waterway connection from Lake Superior to the rest of the Lower 
Great Lakes and the St. Lawrence Seaway. The committee believes 
that a failure at the Soo Locks would have a significant impact 
on national security, in that the U.S. iron mining-integrated 
steel production-manufacturing supply chain is dependent on the 
Soo Locks. Without redundancy, any unexpected outage at the Soo 
Locks would cripple steel production that is used for national 
defense priorities. Therefore, the committee supports a second 
1,200-foot lock and believes that such a lock is necessary to 
maintain redundancy and resiliency at the Soo Locks and further 
protects our national defense priorities.

             Status of the Utilities Privatization Program

    The committee continues to encourage the Department of 
Defense utility privatization program as a way to achieve 
greater efficiencies, improve system reliability and 
resiliency, and reduce the life-cycle costs of the utility 
system. Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of 
Defense to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed 
Services by January 31, 2020, on its efforts to utilize the 
utilities privatization program, current installations 
considering or implementing the program, and any barriers to 
utilization or additional authorities that would be required to 
facilitate the usage of the program.

                U.S. Air Force Strategic Basing Process

    The committee notes that the Secretary of the Air Force has 
developed a strategic basing process that is used to develop 
alternative basing options for the Secretary's consideration. 
In assessing alternative basing solutions, the committee 
understands that the Secretary uses a wide range of inputs to 
include mission, environmental, capacity and cost criteria in 
this assessment.
    The committee also notes that section 2811 of title 10, 
United States Code provides the Secretary wide latitude in 
repurposing facility for alternative uses. The committee 
believes that section 2811 provides the Secretary a reduced 
cost alternative and an expedited facility solution to an 
otherwise lengthy beddown process.
    The committee also believes that the repurposing of 
existing facilities should be included in future basing 
assessments and that section 2811 should be used to more 
optimally assess basing candidates. Therefore, the committee 
directs the Secretary of the Air Force to brief the House 
Committee on Armed Services by February 1, 2020 as to how 
section 2811 is used in the U.S. Air Force Strategic Basing 
Process.

                         LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS


           Subtitle A--Military Construction Program Changes


  Section 2801--Prohibition on Use of Military Construction Funds for 
  Construction of a Wall, Fence, or Other Physical Barrier along the 
                  Southern Border of the United States

States Code, to provide additional clarity on the required 
elements of military installation resilience plans; encourage 
coordination with relevant local, State, and Federal entities 
in the development of plans; and require an assessment of 
resiliency gaps and best practices. This section would further 
require the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the 
House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2020, listing the 
installation master plans completed or in progress during the 
previous 12 months.

   Section 2804--Improved Consultation with Tribal Governments when

spending more than 25 percent of the funds available for 
military construction planning and design until the Secretary 
of Defense submits a certification to Congress that the Tri-
Service Engineering Senior Executive Board has initiated the 
process of updating the Unified Facility Criteria to ensure 
building practices and standards promote military installation 
resilience, energy resilience, energy and climate resiliency, 
and cyber resilience. The Secretary of Defense would further 
certify that the review and revision process will be complete 
by September 1, 2020.

Section 2806--Modification to Department of Defense Form 1391 regarding 
   Consideration of Potential Long-Term Adverse Environmental Effects

    This provision would ensure that prior to submitting a 
military construction project for consideration, the Department 
of Defense or service secretary must certify that the 
construction takes into account known extreme weather risks and 
employs best practices and local building code requirements for 
resiliency in the face of those risks.

    (3) a dispute resolution mechanism;
    (4) prompt provision of maintenance by qualified personnel;
    (5) effective communication regarding the status of their 
work orders;
    (6) professional and courteous property management 
services; and
    (7) information about known and potential hazards at the 
time of home selection, to include mold, lead, rodent 
infestation, and history of sickened residents.
    Finally, the section would direct the Secretary of Defense 
to submit a report to the Senate Committee on Armed Services 
and the House Committee on Armed Services by March 1, 2020, on 
implementation of this provision.

    Section 2812--Prohibition on Use of Nondisclosure Agreements in 
  Connection with Leases of Military Housing Constructed or Acquired 
Using Alternative Authority for Acquisition and Improvement of Military 
                                Housing

    This section would amend section 2882 of title 10, United 
States Code, to prohibit the use of non-disclosure agreements 
in connection with entering into, continuing, or terminating a 
lease for a housing unit covered under the Military Housing 
Privatization Initiative.

Section 2813--Authority to Furnish Certain Services in Connection with 
    Use of Alternative Authority for Acquisition and Improvement of 
                            Military Housing

    This section would amend section 2872a of title 10, United 
States Code, to add street sweeping and tree trimming and 
removal to the list of reimbursable services that may be 
furnished under that section.

 Section 2814--Modification to Requirements for Window Fall Prevention 
                Devices in Military Family Housing Units

    This section would amend section 2879 of title 10, United 
States Code, to modify the requirements and applicable 
standards for window fall prevention devices.

  Section 2815--Assessment of Hazards in Department of Defense Housing

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense to 
develop an assessment tool to identify and measure health and 
safety hazards in Department of Defense housing, to include 
privatized housing, and provide a report to the Committees on 
Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives.

     Section 2816--Development of Process to Identify and Address 
     Environmental Health Hazards in Department of Defense Housing

    This section would require the Secretary of Defense, in 
coordination with the Secretaries of the military departments, 
to develop a process to identify, record, and resolve 
environmental health hazards in Department of Defense housing, 
to include privatized housing, and to provide a report to the 
Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 
Representatives.

 Section 2817--Report on Civilian Personnel Shortages for Appropriate 
  Oversight of Management of Military Housing Constructed or Acquired 
Using Alternative Authority for Acquisition and Improvement of Military 
                                Housing

    This section would require the Department of Defense, in 
coordination with the Secretaries of the military departments, 
to provide a report to the congressional defense committees by 
September 30, 2020, on the manpower requirements and execution 
plan to staff military housing offices and headquarters to fill 
gaps in oversight personnel. The report shall include an 
assessment of what and where additional personnel are required, 
the positions these additional personnel will be filling, the 
job description associated with these positions, the estimated 
cost of hiring these personnel, the number of personnel already 
hired and their locations, and the timeline for hiring the 
remaining required personnel.
    The committee notes that additional funding is authorized 
elsewhere in this Act for the hiring of additional civilian 
personnel for the oversight and management of military family 
housing. The committee further notes that a lack of oversight 
personnel at housing management offices has been a significant 
cause of the problems plaguing privatized military family 
housing. The chronic undermanning of housing offices has led to 
a lack of oversight of the maintenance work order process 
leading to environmental health and safety concerns, 
frustration amongst tenants, and a degradation in the overall 
quality of the tenant's experience in military family housing. 
The committee also notes that a lack of housing personnel at 
the headquarters level also contributed to an inability to 
assess data, track housing trends, and provide policy guidance, 
further exacerbating the problems with privatized housing.

    Section 2818--Inspector General Review of Department of Defense 
                Oversight of Privatized Military Housing

    This section would require the Inspector General of the 
Department of Defense to conduct a review annually of 
Department of Defense oversight of the privatized military 
family housing at 15 randomly selected installations and 
publish the results on a publicly available website.

  Section 2819--Department of Defense Inspection Authority Regarding 
                      Privatized Military Housing

    This section would amend section 2885 of title 10, United 
States Code, to clarify that the Secretaries of the military 
departments retain the authority to inspect privatized military 
family housing. Tenant families shall be given at least 48 
hours notice and retain the right to refuse.

        Section 2820--Improvement of Privatized Military Housing

    This section would amend subchapter IV of chapter 169 of 
title 10, United States Code, to require the Secretary of 
Defense to establish a publicly available database of 
complaints relating to privatized military family housing. This 
section would also require an annual audit to be performed by 
the Comptroller General of the United States of a small, 
medium, and large military installation with privatized 
military family housing. This section would also amend section 
2884 of title 10, United States Code, directing the Secretary 
of Defense to provide a report on military housing to the 
defense committees, annually.

        Subtitle C--Real Property and Facilities Administration

                      Joseph T. Robinson, Arkansas

    This section would allow the Secretary of the Army to 
release the State of Arkansas from certain terms and conditions 
of the reversionary interest imposed by the United States to 
allow transfer to the Arkansas Department of Veterans Affairs 
for the purpose of expanding the Arkansas State Veterans 
Cemetery in North Little Rock, Arkansas.

   Section 2843--Modification of Authorized Uses of Certain Property 
        Conveyed by the United States in Los Angeles, California

    This section would modify the authorized uses of a certain 
property conveyed by the United States to the State of 
California.

   TITLE XXIX--OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS MILITARY CONSTRUCTION

                                SUMMARY

    The budget request contained $9,844,526,000 for Overseas 
Contingency Operations military construction for fiscal year 
2020. The committee recommends authorization of appropriations 
of $921,420,000 for Overseas Contingency Operations military 
construction for fiscal year 2020.

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                   Explanation of Funding Adjustments

    The committee notes that the budget request submitted by 
the Department of Defense included $497.2 million for military 
construction projects in support of the European Deterrence 
Initiative. The committee is supportive of the European 
Deterrence Initiative and continuing to make investments that 
support U.S. military posture in Europe. Therefore, the 
committee recommends additional authorization of appropriations 
in the amount of $56.14 million for the Department of the Army, 
$56.25 the Department of the Navy, and $56.25 million for the 
Department of the Air Force to carry out additional military 
construction projects in Europe that support the European 
Deterrence Initiative, contingent on the Department providing a 
spend plan for these additional funds.
    In addition, the committee recommends reduction of funding 
for projects contained in the Overseas Contingency Operations 
budget request submitted by the Department of Defense for 
military construction. These reductions are:
    (1) $7.2 billion for Unspecified Worldwide Construction. 
The budget request included $7.2 billion to support the 
President's efforts to construct a border wall along the 
southern border of the United States. The committee believes 
that the use of Department of Defense military construction 
funding and authorities to construct a border wall or barrier 
along the southern border of the United States is an 
inappropriate use of Department of Defense resources. 
Therefore, the committee recommends no funds, a reduction of 
$7.2 billion, for this project.
    (2) $2.0 for Unspecified Worldwide Construction. The budget 
request included $2.0 billion for hurricane recovery. The 
committee supports the Department of Defense's ongoing recovery 
efforts. However, the committee notes enactment of the 
Additional Supplemental Appropriations for Disaster Relief Act, 
2019 (Public Law 116-20) which included $1.6 billion of 
military construction funds for this purpose. The committee is 
concerned the Department of Defense may have exceeded its 
ability to execute additional disaster recovery military 
construction projects in fiscal year 2020. Commensurate with 
appropriations included in the as reported Military 
Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies 
Appropriations Act, 2020 (H.R.2745), the committee recommends 
an authorization of $2.3 billion related to additional disaster 
recovery and mitigation, but recommends no authorization of 
appropriation for this effort.
    (3) $88.5 million for a High Value Detention Facility at 
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The committee continues to have questions 
about the need to construct a new permanent detention facility 
with increased capacity and capabilities. Furthermore, the 
committee believes the Department of Defense has not adequately 
assessed alternative options to support current and foreseeable 
detention requirements. Therefore, the committee recommends no 
funds, a reduction of $88.5 million, for this project.
    As noted earlier in this report, the committee recommended 
a reduction in funding for several projects included in the 
base budget request in order to transfer them to the Overseas 
Contingency Operations title of this Act. Therefore the 
committee recommends a commensurate increase in the Overseas 
Contingency Operations account to support these projects. 
Specifically, these projects include:
    (1) $77.4 million for a Communications Station at Naval Air 
Station Sigonella, Italy;
    (2) $53.36 million for an Electrical System Upgrade at 
Bahrain;
    (3) $42.0 million for a Munitions Storage Area at Azraq, 
Jordan; and
    (4) $24.0 million for an Air Traffic Control Tower at 
Azraq, Jordan.

 DIVISION C--DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NATIONAL SECURITY AUTHORIZATIONS AND 
                          OTHER AUTHORIZATIONS

      TITLE XXXI--DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NATIONAL SECURITY PROGRAMS

                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


                National Nuclear Security Administration


                           Weapons Activities


Nuclear warhead life extension program briefings

    The committee commends the National Nuclear Security 
Administration (NNSA) for their work in producing informative 
quarterly briefings to the committee on each life extension 
program underway by the NNSA. Given the cost and complexity of 
these programs, the committee notes the importance of keeping 
the committee informed on this work throughout the year. The 
committee notes the utility of these briefings and looks 
forward to their continuation.

Report on unobligated enriched uranium and domestic uranium 
        requirements

    The committee believes the Department of Energy must ensure 
the availability of the supply of unobligated enriched uranium 
for national security purposes, notably for producing tritium 
and to power naval reactors. In addition, the Department of 
Energy recently announced plans to support a demonstration 
program for the enrichment of high-assay low enriched uranium 
(HALEU) for use in potential future advanced commercial 
reactors and micro-reactors for the Department of Defense. The 
committee also notes the importance and availability of the 
domestic uranium mining industry for U.S. national security.
    The National Nuclear Security Administration shifted the 
need for domestically-produced low-enriched uranium (LEU) from 
2027 to 2041 after additional review. Other options could delay 
the need to build a uranium enrichment facility: declaring 
additional excess highly-enriched uranium (HEU); negotiating an 
agreement with the European enrichment services company Urenco 
to allow the United States, as it does with France, to use the 
LEU it produces for military, but non-explosive purposes; 
reconsidering the amount of unobligated uranium required to 
produce tritium; building a new, smaller non-power-generating 
government reactor dedicated to the production of tritium for 
national security purposes; and using LEU for naval reactors. 
Serious consideration of these options would delay the need to 
build a new U.S. enrichment facility that the Department of 
Energy has estimated will cost $3.1 to $11.3 billion depending 
on its size.
    In 2016, the Department of Energy initiated an analysis of 
alternatives (AOA) to provide a supply of unobligated enriched 
uranium for the long-term. The committee expects the Department 
of Energy to comprehensively consider all alternatives, 
consistent with Department of Energy guidance and the 
Government Accountability Office's 2018 report on enriched 
uranium and its 2015 report on best practices for AOA 
processes, and to consider costs, including life-cycle costs, 
need dates, domestic industrial base impacts, and opportunities 
to change existing policy. The Department of Energy should work 
closely with the Department of State to engage allies in 
discussions on potential policy changes.
    The committee therefore directs the Administrator for 
Nuclear Security to provide a report to the congressional 
defense committees not later than November 1, 2019, including: 
information on size, costs and timelines for a new enrichment 
facility; options to declare additional HEU as excess and down-
blend it; what percentage of LEU is used specifically for 
producing tritium, rather the total amount of LEU needed to 
fuel the TVA reactor; options to load the Tennessee Valley 
Authority (TVA) reactor cores with a mix of unobligated and 
obligated LEU, a plan to engage URENCO and European allies 
about the use of obligated LEU, options to reflag LEU used in 
TVA reactors and any related change in U.S. policy; amount and 
timelines related to HEU stocks for naval reactors and how much 
would be available if LEU (not from blend-down of HEU) fuel 
were available to use in aircraft carrier reactors and 
potentially in submarine reactors; the technical and cost 
considerations for building a government reactor dedicated to 
national security purposes; and the impact of the commercial 
HALEU production plans on the ability of the Department of 
Energy to meet unobligated fuel supply for national security 
missions, and why those fuels must utilize unobligated enriched 
uranium.

Reports of sexual assault in the protective force

    The committee is concerned about recent reports of sexual 
harassment and assault within the National Nuclear Security 
Administration's (NNSA) protective force and the NNSA's 
response to these serious allegations. The protective force 
provides, among other things, the physical security for the 
Nation's most sensitive nuclear sites and facilities. A culture 
that is permissive of sexual harassment and assault cannot 
effectively perform its responsibilities and would pose serious 
national security risks. The committee encourages the NNSA to 
address these incidents must ensure their system for reporting, 
investigating, and addressing allegations of sexual harassment 
and assault by Government contractors within the protective 
force is independently reviewed to assure its effectiveness.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller General of 
the United States to comprehensively review the issue of sexual 
harassment and assault within the NNSA protective force. 
Specifically, the Comptroller General shall assess the impact 
of sexual harassment on security of the nuclear security 
enterprise; how NNSA's security contracts and its oversight and 
management mechanisms for these contracts integrate sexual 
harassment prevention and reporting into the safety culture; 
how NNSA's security contracts are awarded, managed, and 
overseen; how the NNSA's security oversight model and 
management mechanisms integrate sexual harassment prevention 
into its promotion of security culture; and the extent to which 
NNSA has held those responsible for sexual harassment or 
assault accountable. The Comptroller General shall provide an 
interim briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than October 7, 2019, with a report to follow not later 
than December 20, 2019.

Risks and sustainment plan for Plutonium Facility at Los Alamos 
        National Laboratory

    The Department of Energy's Plutonium Facility (PF-4) at the 
Los Alamos National Laboratory is the Nation's enduring 
Plutonium Research and Development and production capability. 
The facility has been operational since 1978, and is currently 
undergoing major upgrades to ensure a pit production capability 
of 30 pits per year by 2026. Given the age and use of the 
facility, which includes additional plutonium activities, the 
committee is concerned about the continued viability of the 
site in the long-term.
    To better understand the risks to PF-4 and plans to 
continue its mission, the committee directs the Administrator 
for Nuclear Security to provide a report to the congressional 
defense committees not later than December 31, 2019, assessing 
the risks to the continued viability of PF-4 through 2045 and 
plans for either sustaining the facility or replacing it, 
including timelines and estimated costs.

Stockpile Stewardship 2.0

    The Department of Energy's science-based stockpile 
stewardship program has allowed the Department of Defense and 
the Department of Energy to certify to the President for the 
22nd consecutive year that the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile 
remains safe, secure, and effective without the use of nuclear 
explosive testing. This impressive scientific achievement is 
enabled by National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) 
most valuable resource, its workforce. NNSA's ability to 
recruit, train, and retain the next generation of world-class 
scientists, engineers, and technicians is a major priority.
    To ensure the NNSA's workforce achieved its stockpile 
stewardship goals over the past two decades, the NNSA 
constructed numerous world-class scientific facilities at its 
laboratories and production sites. These facilities have 
yielded important scientific insight of benefit to the nuclear 
enterprise, as well as the broader scientific community. As the 
NNSA continues to recruit, train, and retain the next 
generation of world-class scientists, engineers and 
technicians, it must also remain on the cutting-edge of science 
and look to future scientific challenges facing the nuclear 
stockpile.
    To better understand how the National Nuclear Security 
Administration will approach the next set of long-term science 
questions related to the nuclear stockpile, the committee 
directs the Administrator for Nuclear Security to provide a 
detailed report to the House Committee on Armed Services not 
later than March 13, 2020, assessing the major science 
questions facing the stockpile stewardship program over the 
next 20 years, and a plan to address them. The committee 
requests that the Department of Energy conduct this activity in 
consultation with the national laboratories and other partners 
as appropriate.

                    Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation


Excess Plutonium Disposition

    The committee notes the United States' commitment to 
dispose of 34 metric tons of excess plutonium as part of the 
Management and Disposition of Plutonium Agreement, signed in 
2000, with Russia. The committee also notes that in October 
2018, the Secretary of Energy delivered official notice of 
contract termination of the Mixed-Oxide Fuel Fabrication 
Facility (MFFF) due to significant costs, delays and 
difficulties executing this program. The committee also 
emphasizes that the Secretary proposed to dispose of this 
material through the Dilute and Dispose program which was more 
affordable and required a fraction of the funding MOX would 
have required. The MFFF would have disposed of the 34 metric 
tons by creating mixed-oxide fuel for use in commercial power 
reactions.
    The committee directs the Administrator for Nuclear 
Security to submit a report to the congressional defense 
committees not later than February 28, 2020, with a detailed 
plan, including timelines, plans to engage the State of New 
Mexico and Russia on any necessary negotiations to pursue the 
Dilute and Dispose approach, funding requirements, including 
funding requirements over the next 5 years, to begin disposing 
of this excess plutonium.

Nuclear Verification Plan

    The committee notes that once the United States withdraws, 
absent Russia returning to compliance, from the Intermediate-
Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), only Russia's strategic forces 
accountable under the New START Treaty will be subject to 
constraints, inspection, and verification. The committee also 
notes that the United States, per the 2018 Nuclear Posture 
Review, is ``prepared to consider arms control opportunities 
that return parties to compliance, predictability, and 
transparency, and remain receptive to future arms control 
negotiations if conditions permit and the potential outcome 
improves the security of the United States, its allies, and 
partners.'' As such, the committee notes that the United States 
must be prepared to address Russia's significantly larger non-
strategic nuclear arsenal through arms control, should Russia 
accept such limits through a nuclear arms control negotiation.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Administrator for 
Nuclear Security to provide a report to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than March 13, 2020, with a detailed 
plan for ensuring the United States is prepared, from a 
technology perspective, to inspect and verify non-strategic 
nuclear warheads as part of a future arms control agreement. 
The report should detail domestic and international efforts 
that the Department is undertaking. The report should also 
assess the costs and timeline required to ensure full U.S. 
preparedness in the event the United States and Russia were to 
agree to limits on nonstrategic nuclear forces. The committee 
directs the report to be provided in unclassified form, with a 
classified annex as necessary.

                             Naval Reactors


Low-Enriched Uranium Fuel for Naval Reactors

    The committee notes that since September 11, 2001, the U.S. 
Government has sought to remove weapons-usable highly enriched 
uranium (HEU) containing 20 percent or more uranium-235 from as 
many locations as possible because of concerns related to 
nuclear terrorism. The committee notes that the primary focus 
of this strategy has been on replacing HEU civilian research 
reactor fuel and targets used in the production of medical 
radioisotopes, with non-weapons-usable low-enriched uranium 
(LEU) fuel and targets. This program to reduce the use of HEU 
for civilian purposes has been successful in reducing the 
amount of HEU worldwide that could have been at risk of theft 
of diversion. However, this effort did not address the use of 
HEU for military purposes. Naval reactors account for the 
largest share of global HEU use other than nuclear weapons, and 
in the United States, the fuel is fabricated in civilian, not 
military, facilities. The committee has been supportive of 
efforts to assess the feasibility of using low-enriched uranium 
for naval reactors as such use would not only benefit nuclear 
non-proliferation efforts but also maintain the research and 
development skills necessary to sustain innovation and 
expertise with regard to naval fuel as research and development 
efforts on the Columbia-class reactor end. The committee 
continues to support efforts to assess the feasibility of using 
LEU in naval reactors to meet military requirements for 
aircraft carriers and submarines.
    The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2018 
(Public Law 115-91) required a nuclear submarine study. 
However, this study lacked sufficient detail to respond to the 
congressional mandate. Therefore, the committee directs the 
Administrator for Nuclear Security, in coordination with the 
Secretary of the Navy, to provide a report to the congressional 
defense committees not later than December 15, 2019, assessing 
the feasibility of a design of the reactor module of the 
Virginia-Class replacement nuclear powered attack submarine 
that retains the existing hull diameter but leaves sufficient 
space for an LEU-fueled reactor with a life of the ship core, 
possibly with an increased module length. If a life of the ship 
core is unattainable, the report should include the feasibility 
of a reactor design with the maximum attainable core life and a 
configuration that enables rapid refueling.

               Environmental and Other Defense Activities


                     Defense Environmental Cleanup


Savannah River Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative

    The committee notes that the fiscal year 2020 budget 
request included a request for the Advanced Manufacturing 
Collaborative to support design and construction of a modern 
research and development facility accessible by commercial 
industry and academia. The committee further notes the goal of 
the facility would be to develop safer, faster, and more cost 
effective nuclear chemical manufacturing and cleanup 
technologies and expertise to tackle the remaining challenges 
in the cleanup of radioactive and chemical waste from Cold War 
activities, nuclear research, and non-proliferation missions.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Administrator for 
Nuclear Security to provide a report to the House Committee on 
Armed Services not later than March 13, 2020, with a detailed 
plan of the construction and operations process for the 
Advanced Manufacturing Collaborative, including an option for 
the site's location being outside of the site to encourage 
local community engagement.

                      TITLE XXXV--MARITIME MATTERS


                       ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST


              Reducing Reliance on Foreign Flagged Vessels

    The committee notes the Center for Strategic and Budgetary 
Assessment issued a report warning that ``decades of downsizing 
and consolidation with the goal of achieving greater efficiency 
have left U.S. defense maritime logistics forces brittle while 
simultaneously contributing to the decline of the U.S. 
shipbuilding industry and the Merchant Marine. Failing to 
remedy this situation when adversaries have U.S. logistics 
networks in their crosshairs could cause the United States to 
lose a war and fail its allies and partners in their hour of 
need.'' The committee shares this concern. Elsewhere in this 
Act, the committee includes several provisions that would help 
the Navy address its existing sealift shortfall by 
reauthorizing the Maritime Security Program, creating a Tanker 
Security Program to address the shortfall in US-flagged, US-
crewed tankers, and requiring the Navy to initiate an 
affordable, domestic built sealift ship. While these provisions 
will help address the sealift shortfall in the long term, the 
committee remains concerned about near-term mitigations and the 
reliance on foreign built and foreign flagged vessels to 
support U.S. sealift requirements.
    Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense 
to provide a report to the House Committee on Armed Services, 
not later than March 1, 2020, that outlines near-term actions 
being taken to reduce the Department of Defense's reliance on 
foreign-flagged vessels.

                         LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS


                  Subtitle A--Maritime Administration

national security aspects of the Maritime Administration for 
fiscal year 2020.

       Section 3502--Reauthorization of Maritime Security Program

    This section would reauthorize the Maritime Security 
Program and extend it to 2035.

    Section 3503--Maritime Occupational Safety and Health Advisory 
                               Committee

    This section would amend section 656 of title 29, United 
States Code, and establish the Maritime Occupational Safety and 
Health Advisory Committee as a continuing body that does not 
have to be reestablished every 2 years as previously 
structured.

                   Subtitle B--Tanker Security Fleet


                  Section 3511--Tanker Security Fleet

    This section would authorize a tanker security fleet

    This section would provide for the allocation of funds 
among programs, projects, and activities in accordance with the 
tables in division D of this Act, subject to reprogramming 
guidance in accordance with established procedures.
    Consistent with the previously expressed views of the 
committee, this section would also require that a decision by 
an agency head to commit, obligate, or expend funds to a 
specific entity on the basis of such funding tables be based on 
merit-based selection procedures in accordance with the 
requirements of section 2304(k) and section 2374 of title 10, 
United States Code, and other applicable provisions of law.

                          House of Representatives,
                                  Committee on Agriculture,
                                      Washington, DC, June 5, 2019.
Hon. Adam Smith,
Chairman, Committee on Armed Services,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Smith: I am writing to you concerning the bill 
H.R. 2500, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2020. There are certain provisions in the legislation 
which fall within the Rule X jurisdiction of the House 
Committee on Agriculture.
    In the interest of permitting your committee to proceed 
expeditiously to floor consideration of this important bill, I 
am willing to waive this committee's right to sequential 
referral. I do so with the understanding that by waiving 
consideration of the bill the House Committee on Agriculture 
does not waive any future jurisdictional claim over the subject 
matters contained in the bill which fall within its Rule X 
jurisdiction. I request that you urge the Speaker to name 
members of this committee to any conference committee which is 
named to consider such provisions.
    Please place this letter into the committee report on H.R. 
2500 and into the Congressional Record during consideration of 
the measure on the House floor. Thank you for the cooperative 
spirit in which you have worked regarding this matter and 
others between our respective committees.
            Sincerely,
                                        Collin C. Peterson,

Hon. Collin C. Peterson,
Chairman, Committee on Agriculture,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: Thank you for your letter regarding H.R. 
2500, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2020. I agree that the Committee on Agriculture has valid 
jurisdictional claims to certain provisions in this important 
legislation, and I am most appreciative of your decision not to 
request a referral in the interest of expediting consideration 
of the bill. I agree that by foregoing a sequential referral, 
the Committee on Agriculture is not waiving its jurisdiction. 
Further, this exchange of letters will be included in the 
committee report on the bill.
            Sincerely,

Members of this Committee to any conference committee which is

diminished or altered. I request that you urge the Speaker to 
name members of this committee to any conference committee 
which is named to consider such provisions. The Committee also 
reserves the right to seek appointment to any House-Senate 
conference on such legislation and requests your support in the

House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: Thank you for your letter regarding H.R. 
2500, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 
2020. I agree that the Permanent Select Committee on 
Intelligence has valid jurisdictional claims to certain 
provisions in this important legislation, and I am most 
appreciative of your decision not to request a referral in the 
interest of expediting consideration of the bill. I agree that 
by foregoing a sequential referral, the Permanent Select 
Committee on Intelligence is not waiving its jurisdiction. 
Further, this exchange of letters will be included in the 
committee report on the bill.
            Sincerely,
                                                Adam Smith,
                                                          Chairman.
                                ------                                


                  CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE ESTIMATE

    In compliance with clause 3(c)(3) of rule XIII of the House 
of Representatives, the cost estimate prepared by the 
Congressional Budget Office and submitted pursuant to section 
402 of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 is as follows:

         CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE PRELIMINARY COST ESTIMATE

                                                     June 18, 2019.
Re: Direct Spending and Revenue Effects of H.R. 2500, the National 
        Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020
Hon. Adam Smith,
Chairman, Committee on Armed Services,
House of Representatives, Washington, DC.
    Dear Mr. Chairman: The Congressional Budget Office has 
completed the enclosed estimate of the direct spending and 
revenue effects of H.R. 2500, the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020, as ordered reported by 
the House Committee on Armed Services on June 13, 2019. CBO's 
complete estimate, including discretionary costs, will be 
provided shortly.
    Enacting the bill would reduce net direct spending by $9 
million over the 2020-2029 period. The budgetary effects 
primarily arise from three sources. A provision that would 
require the Secretary of Defense to sell IPv4 (Internet 
Protocol) addresses would increase offsetting receipts which 
are classified as reductions in direct spending. That reduction 
would be partially offset by increasing the number of service 
members in the reserve components of the U.S. Armed Forces who 
can collect reserve retired pay before age 60. The bill also 
would provide additional Special Immigrant Visas to Afghans who 
worked for the U.S. government in Afghanistan, allowing them 
and their family members to immigrate to the United States and 
receive federal benefits. Several other provisions would have 
smaller effects on direct spending. Other provisions would 
affect revenues by an insignificant amount.
    Because the bill would affect direct spending and revenues, 
statutory pay-as-you-go procedures apply.
    CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2500 would not increase 
on-budget deficits by more than $5 billion in any of the four 
consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2030.
    If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be 
pleased to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Aldo 
Prosperi, who can be reached at 226-2840.
            Sincerely,
                                         Phillip L. Swagel,
                                                          Director.
    Enclosure.

Components may not sum to totals because of rounding; IPv4 = Internet Protocol version 4; * = between -$500,000 and $500,000.
CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 2500 would not increase on-budget deficits by more than $5 billion in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods
  beginning in 2030. Other provisions in H.R. 2500 would have insignificant effects on direct spending and revenues. CBO assumes that H.R. 2500 will be
  enacted near the start of fiscal year 2020.
a. Section 1088 would require the Department of Defense to sell all of the department's IPv4 addresses over the next 10 years at fair market value.
b. Section 627 would expand eligibility for service members to collect reserve retired pay before age 60.
c. Section 1212 would increase by 300 the number of Special Immigrant Visas available to Afghans who worked for the U.S. government in Afghanistan.
  Afghan special immigrants are eligible for a variety of federal benefits upon arrival in the United States if they meet the other eligibility criteria
  for those benefits.
d. Section 354 would extend, through September 30, 2023, the authority of the Secretary of Transportation to issue aviation insurance without charging
  an insurance premium.
e. Section 701 would eliminate all cost sharing for contraceptive pharmaceuticals and devices for women who use TRICARE. The health care costs for
  beneficiaries who are retirees of the other uniformed services and their dependents are paid from mandatory appropriations.
f. Section 521 would establish a new board to evaluate requests from veterans to improve the characterization of their discharge from the armed forces.
  Those upgrades would increase direct spending for retroactive separation pay and for mandatory veterans' benefits.
g. Section 807 would require the Department of Defense to sell three million pounds of tungsten and allow the department to purchase other critical
  materials. Because monies deposited into the National Defense Stockpile Fund are permanently appropriated, receipts from newly authorized sales of
  materials are not counted as negative budget authority, and authority for new purchases of strategic materials does not create new budget authority.

           STATEMENT REQUIRED BY THE CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET ACT

    Pursuant to clause (3)(c)(2) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, and section 308(a) of the 
Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (Public Law 93-344):
    (1) this legislation does not provide budget authority 
subject to an allocation made pursuant to section 302(b) of 
Public Law 93-344;
    (2) the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) Estimate included 
in this report pursuant to clause (3)(c)(3) of rule XIII of the 
Rules of the House of Representatives contains CBO's projection 
of how this legislation will affect the levels of budget 
authority, budget outlays, revenues, and tax expenditures for 
fiscal year 2020 and for the ensuing 5 fiscal years; and
    (3) the CBO Estimate does not identify any new budget 
authority for assistance to state and local governments by this 
measure at the time that this report was filed.

                        COMMITTEE COST ESTIMATE

    Pursuant to clause (3)(d)(2)(B) of rule XIII of the Rules 
of the House of Representatives, the Congressional Budget 
Office Estimate included in this report satisfies the 
requirement for the committee to include an estimate by the 
committee of the costs incurred in carrying out this bill.

                          ADVISORY OF EARMARKS

    The committee finds that H.R. 2500, the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020, as reported, does not 
contain any congressional earmarks, limited tax benefits, or 
limited tariff benefits as defined in clause 9 of rule XXI of 
the Rules of the House of Representatives.

                           OVERSIGHT FINDINGS

    With respect to clause 3(c)(1) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, this legislation results from 
hearings and other oversight activities conducted by the 
committee pursuant to clause 2(b)(1) of rule X. The findings 
are reflected in the body of this report.

                GENERAL PERFORMANCE GOALS AND OBJECTIVES

    With respect to clause 3(c)(4) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, the general goals and objectives 
of H.R. 2500 are to maintain the national defense, to prepare 
the United States to meet current and future challenges to the 
national defense, and to accomplish each of those goals and 
objectives in a fiscally responsible manner.
    This legislation provides $655.9 billion to support 
national defense requirements, and it includes an additional 
$69.0 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations. The bill 
includes funding to provide a 3.1 percent pay raise for service 
members, to invest in key maintenance and readiness areas, and 
to modernize the force to deter potential adversaries.
    This bill continues the longstanding work of the Committee 
on Armed Services to ensure that the military is sufficiently 
resourced and prepared to maintain the national defense, and it 
thereby fulfills the committees duties under Article I, Section 
8, of the Constitution.

                     STATEMENT OF FEDERAL MANDATES

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

                  FEDERAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE STATEMENT

    Consistent with the requirements of section 5(b) of the 
Federal Advisory Committee Act, the committee finds that the 
functions of the proposed advisory committees authorized in the 
bill are not currently being nor could they be performed by one 
or more agencies, an advisory committee already in existence or 
by enlarging the mandate of an existing advisory committee.

                APPLICABILITY TO THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH

    The committee finds that this legislation does not relate 
to the terms and conditions of employment or access to public 
services or accommodations within the meaning of section 
102(b)(3) of the Congressional Accountability Act (Public Law 
104-1).

                    DUPLICATION OF FEDERAL PROGRAMS

    Pursuant to clause 3(c)(5) of rule XIII, no provision of 
H.R. 2500 establishes or reauthorizes a program of the Federal 
Government known to be duplicative of another Federal program, 
a program that was included in any report from the Government 
Accountability Office to Congress pursuant to section 21 of 
Public Law 111-139, or a program related to a program 
identified in the most recent Catalog of Federal Domestic 
Assistance.

                            COMMITTEE VOTES

    In accordance with clause 3(b) of rule XIII of the Rules of 
the House of Representatives, record votes were taken with 
respect to the committee's consideration of H.R. 2500. The 
record of these votes is contained in the following pages.
    The committee ordered H.R. 2500 to be reported to the House 
with a favorable recommendation by a vote of 33-24 a quorum 
being present.

         CHANGES IN EXISTING LAW MADE BY THE BILL, AS REPORTED

    The committee has taken steps to make available the 
analysis of changes in existing law made by the bill, as 
required by clause 3(e) of rule XIII of the Rules of the House 
of Representatives, and will make the analysis available as 
soon as possible.

                     ADDITIONAL VIEWS OF MR. LARSEN

    As a member of the Subcommittee on Intelligence and 
Emerging Threats and Capabilities, I am dedicated to promoting 
American leadership in critical emerging technologies that 
promise to transform military operations.
    One such technology is artificial intelligence (AI). 
Several converging trends, including improvements in cloud 
computing, increases in the amount and types of data available 
to programmers, and advances in software and computing 
techniques have led to rapid growth in AI. As AI improves in 
sophistication and reliability, it has the potential to change 
many sectors of the global economy.
    AI will also transform the Department of Defense. Potential 
applications include predictive maintenance, adaptive EW, and 
intelligence analysis. More sensitive uses, like targeting and 
missile defense, raise significant ethical issues that the 
Department must think about now. How can the Department ensure 
human authority in making life or death decisions without 
sacrificing the military advantage that AI promises?
    Given the broad array of potential AI applications, the 
Department will need a workforce that possesses a common 
understanding of and familiarity with AI, its applications, and 
its strengths and weaknesses. Unfortunately, this is a real 
weakness for the Department. According to Chief Information 
Officer Dana Deasy, ``while some people joining the military 
today may have skills suited for working with AI, overall we 
assess that the current state of the existing workforce and 
military recruitment pipeline is a critical shortfall for 
DoD.''
    I have introduced a provision to address this shortfall, 
and I thank Chair Langevin and Ranking Member Stefanik for 
including it in the Intelligence and Emerging Threats and 
Capabilities subcommittee mark. The bill requires the 
Department to develop an educational curriculum for 
servicemembers who use AI in performing their responsibilities. 
It also requires the curriculum to include several elements, 
including the impact of AI on strategy and doctrine, decision-
making, ethical issues, and bias.
    Other countries have adopted innovative approaches to 
training their workforces in the basics of AI. Finland has 
established a nationwide goal to educate I percent of the 
country's population in the basic elements of AI. I believe the 
United States should set a similar goal. Doing so will lead to 
more informed debate on critical technology issues and increase 
the competitiveness of American workers in the global economy.
    I commend Chair Smith and Ranking Member Thornberry for 
their leadership on this committee and look forward to working 
with them further on the Fiscal Year 2020 National Defense 
Authorization Act.

DISSENTING VIEWS OF THE REPUBLICAN MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE ARMED SERVICES 
COMMITTEE ON H.R. 2500, THE NATIONAL DEFENSE AUTHORIZATION ACT FOR 2020

    The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal 
Year (FY) 2020 contains important provisions that will enhance 
national security. However, we are deeply troubled by several 
crucial areas in which the bill fails to provide essential 
support to the Department of Defense and our men and women in 
uniform.
    The bill ignores repeated, consistent testimony from former 
Secretary of Defense Mattis, Acting Secretary Shanahan, and 
General Dunford--as well as the conclusion of the bi partisan 
National Security Commission--that the Department of Defense 
requires 3-5% real growth through 2025 in order to restore 
readiness and maintain our competitive edge against Russia and 
China. In so doing, the bill would jeopardize modernization 
programs in key areas where the United States is at risk of 
falling behind our adversaries.
    The bill would underfund the Department of Defense by $15 
billion, embracing potentially devastating cuts. Over the past 
two years, the committee has fought hard to arrest the 
readiness degradation through targeted increases in resources. 
This bill, however, would cut billions from readiness programs 
and endanger these key recovery efforts, even as fatalities 
resulting from military aviation accidents hit a six-year high. 
Additionally, the number of facilities that meet the Pentagon's 
definition of failure has doubled in recent years. Despite the 
Committee's tradition of fully funding these projects, the bill 
would cut facilities sustaimnent funding, risking the safety of 
the facilities that our service members must live and work in.
    The bill would also call for $1.2 billion in military 
personnel funding cuts from what the President's budget 
requested, making it more difficult for the military to meet 
its obligations to our service members and their families. In 
addition to failing to provide the resources senior commanders 
have repeatedly testified are required, this bill contains 
extreme limits to the Department's authority to wisely 
reallocate resources to meet mission requirements. If this bill 
was enacted into law, the cuts to military personnel funding 
alone could exhaust the department's reprogramming authority.
    The bill also contains several policy provisions that raise 
serious concerns. For example, the bill contains a provision 
that would ban the transfer of additional detainees to 
Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, while also requiring the Attorney General 
to provide a plan that could ultimately lead to the transfer of 
current detainees to the United States. In addition, the bill 
is notable for what it does not contain. Specifically, the bill 
omits the long-standing prohibitions against transferring 
Guantanamo detainees to the United States. It also fails to 
include funding for a replacement facility for high value 
detainees, despite the fact that the current facility is 
structurally unstable and is putting US military personnel at 
risk.
    Despite previous bi-partisan efforts to modernize and 
recapitalize nuclear programs over the last several years, this 
bill would take us backward. It would prohibit the deployment 
of new low-yield weapons, cuts key elements of our nuclear 
deterrent, while also deferring essential safety upgrades. Many 
on our committee have criticized the administration for not 
being tough on Russia, and yet this bill would weaken our 
deterrent posture against Russia and China, while sending a 
confusing message to our allies.
    Finally, one of the recurring themes throughout this bill 
is an emphasis on overly prescriptive policies and increased 
reporting requirements. The most significant example of this 
relates to the policy on the US southern border. The bill would 
institute a presumptive ban on construction projects that would 
terminate military construction funding for border barriers. 
This ban would also restrict traditional military counterdrug 
programs that have historically been considered non-
controversial. In addition, the bill would eliminate the 
Department's ability to reprioritize military construction 
funds, which could negatively impact the Department's ability 
to respond to national emergencies. Simultaneously, the bill 
would increase the already voluminous number of reports 
required of the Department of Defense. While we are heartened 
that the bill would establish a uniform sunset date for all 
recurring reports, it also adds hundreds of new and costly 
reporting requirements.
    Because of a particularly onerous sequential referral 
process this year, many of the amendments that would have 
addressed some of the fundamental flaws with this bill were 
deemed out of order and never debated. We remain concerned that 
the Armed Services Committee, through excessive referrals, may 
be ceding jurisdiction to other committees on issues that have 
historically been exclusively within this committee's 
jurisdiction. We hope that many of these amendments will be 
considered on the floor, so that Members may have a full and 
fair debate on these vital issues. As the bill process 
continues, we will continue to work to improve this important 
legislation.
