SECTION 1. FINDINGS.

    Congress makes the following findings:
            (1) Identification Friend or Foe equipment and accessories 
        are used by the Armed Forces to maintain the superior ability 
        of members of the Armed Forces to operate under the cover of 
        darkness and in inclement conditions, while providing for 
        identification of fellow members.
            (2) Glo-patches and other Identification Friend or Foe 
        equipment and accessories are assigned a demilitarization code 
        of ``D'', which requires the total destruction of the property 
        and components by melting, cutting, tearing, scratching, 
        crushing, breaking, punching, or neutralizing, so as to 
        preclude restoration or repair to a usable condition.
            (3) Under current regulations, Identification Friend or Foe 
        equipment and accessories may not be exported outside of the 
        United States without express permission by the Department of 
        Defense or the Department of State.
            (4) However, between August and October of 2006, 4,800 
        surplus combat uniforms bearing glo-tape patches were 
        inadvertently sold despite a determination by the Department of 
        Defense in July 2006 that the patches had to be removed and 
        destroyed before the uniforms could be sold.
            (5) Subsequent investigation in June 2007 determined that 
        Identification Friend or Foe equipment and accessories were 
        easily obtained at retailers in several areas of the United 
        States.
            (6) On January 20, 2007, between nine and twelve Iraqi 
        insurgents successfully masqueraded as members of the United 
        States Armed Forces while dressed in United States military 
        combat fatigues, and were able to kill one soldier and abduct 
        four other soldiers, highlighting the dangers faced by members 
        of the Armed Forces when the enemy is able to disguise itself 
        as members of the United States Armed Forces.
