                               BACKGROUND

                          Purpose of the Bill

    This bill makes appropriations for the military functions 
of the Department of Defense for the period October 1, 2015, 
through September 30, 2016. Functional areas include the pay, 
allowances, and support of military personnel, operation and 
maintenance of the forces, procurement of equipment and 
systems, and research, development, test and evaluation. 
Appropriations for foreign military assistance, military 
construction, family housing, nuclear weapons programs, and 
civil defense are provided in other bills.

                                Hearings

    The Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense began hearings 
on March 5, 2015, and concluded them on June 18, 2015, after 11 
separate sessions. The subcommittee heard testimony from 
representatives of the Department of Defense.

                          Summary of the Bill

    The Committee recommendation of $569,841,694,000 includes 
funding to develop, maintain, and equip the military forces of 
the United States and for other purposes in nonemergency 
appropriations.
    The fiscal year 2016 budget request for activities funded 
in the Department of Defense appropriations bill totals 
$571,719,613,000 in new budget authority, including 
$50,949,561,000 in contingency funding for the Department of 
Defense and $514,000,000 in mandatory spending.
    In fiscal year 2015, the Congress appropriated 
$547,753,288,000 for activities funded in this bill. This 
amount includes $483,705,993,000 in base appropriations, 
$112,000,000 in emergency appropriations and $63,935,295,000 in 
overseas contingency operations appropriations. The Committee 
recommends that funds requested for Coast Guard overseas 
contingency operations be appropriated directly to the 
Department of Homeland Security.
    The Committee recommendation in this bill is 
$22,088,406,000 above the amount provided in fiscal year 2015 
and $1,877,919,000 below the amount requested for fiscal year 
2016.

    The Committee has displayed recommended adjustments in 
tables presented under each appropriation account.
    These adjustments reflect the following Committee actions: 
elimination of funds requested for programs which are lower 
priority, duplicative, or not supported by firm requirements in 
out-year development or procurement appropriations; deletion of 
excess funds based on program delays or slow execution; 
addition of funds to reflect congressional priorities and to 
rectify shortfalls in the budget estimate; and implementation 
of recommendations in S. 1376, the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016, as reported.
    The Committee directs that the funding increases outlined 
in these tables shall be provided only for the specific 
purposes indicated in the table.

                     CLASSIFIED PROGRAM ADJUSTMENTS

    The Committee recommends adjustments to certain classified 
programs, as explained in the classified annex to the 
Committee's report.

              Definition of Program, Project and Activity

    For the purposes of the Balanced Budget and Emergency 
Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-177), as amended by 
the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Reaffirmation 
Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-119), and by the Budget Enforcement 
Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-508), the terms ``program, project, 
and activity'' for appropriations contained in this act shall 
be defined as the most specific level of budget items 
identified in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 
2016, the related classified annexes and Committee reports, and 
P-1 and R-1 budget justification documents as subsequently 
modified by congressional action.
    The following exception to the above definition shall 
apply: the military personnel and the operation and maintenance 
accounts, for which the term ``program, project, and activity'' 
is defined as the appropriations accounts contained in the 
Department of Defense Appropriations Act.
    At the time the President submits the budget request for 
fiscal year 2017, the Secretary of Defense is directed to 
transmit to the congressional defense committees budget 
justification documents to be known as the ``M-1'' and ``O-1'' 
which shall identify, at the budget activity, activity group, 
and sub-activity group level, the amounts requested by the 
President to be appropriated to the Department of Defense for 
military personnel and operation and maintenance in any budget 
request, or amended budget request, for fiscal year 2017.

                         Reprogramming Guidance

    The Secretary of Defense is directed to continue to follow 
the reprogramming guidance for acquisition accounts as 
specified in the report accompanying the House version of the 
Department of Defense appropriations bill for fiscal year 2008 
(House Report 110-279). For operation and maintenance accounts, 
the Secretary of Defense shall continue to follow the 
reprogramming guidelines specified in the conference report 
accompanying H.R. 3222, the Department of Defense 
Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2008. The dollar threshold 
for reprogramming funds shall remain at $10,000,000 for 
military personnel; $15,000,000 for operation and maintenance; 
$20,000,000 for procurement; and $10,000,000 for research, 
development, test and evaluation.
    Also, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) is 
directed to continue to provide the congressional defense 
committees annual DD Form 1416 reports for titles I and II and 
quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD Form 1416 reports for service 
and defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of this act. 
Reports for titles III and IV shall comply with guidance 
specified in the explanatory statement accompanying the 
Department of Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2006. 
The Department shall continue to follow the limitation that 
prior approval reprogrammings are set at either the specified 
dollar threshold or 20 percent of the procurement or research, 
development, test and evaluation line, whichever is less. These 
thresholds are cumulative from the base for reprogramming value 
as modified by any adjustments. Therefore, if the combined 
value of transfers into or out of a military personnel (M-1), 
an operation and maintenance (O-1), a procurement (P-1), or a 
research, development, test and evaluation (R-1) line exceeds 
the identified threshold, the Secretary of Defense must submit 
a prior approval reprogramming to the congressional defense 
committees. In addition, guidelines on the application of prior 
approval reprogramming procedures for congressional special 
interest items are established elsewhere in this report.

                         Committee Initiatives

    The Committee has included funding above the President's 
budget request for several programmatic initiatives which the 
Committee believes are of inherent value for national defense. 
In several cases, funds are restored for programs which were 
included in previous Department of Defense budget requests, and 
for programs that the Committee believes are necessary to 
improve the U.S. defense posture even though they have not been 
included under the request formulated by the Department of 
Defense.
    For instance, the Committee's hearings with the military 
Services and the Department's leadership highlighted the risk 
to maintaining the U.S. technological edge under sequester-
level budgets. Therefore, the Committee recommends increases to 
sustain U.S. technological superiority such as fifth generation 
aircraft, the Technology Offset Initiative, Cyber Vulnerability 
Assessments and the Unmanned Carrier-Launched Airborne 
Surveillance and Strike System [UCLASS]. In addition, the 
Committee recommends funding to increase readiness, sustain 
U.S. force structure and maintain our industrial base. Finally, 
the Committee recommends increases in basic research, 
alternative energy and science and technology funding, which 
are the foundation for enhancing future technological 
superiority. The Committee also recommends funding for programs 
that are chronically underfunded, such as the Defense 
Production Act and National Guard and Reserve equipment 
purchases.
    The Committee directs that funds for these initiatives are 
to be competitively awarded or provided to programs that have 
received competitive awards in the past.

                     Navy Modernization Priorities

    The fiscal year 2016 President's budget requests 
$17,885,916,000 for Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, 
Navy, an increase of $1,927,456,000 over amounts appropriated 
for fiscal year 2015. While a significant portion of this 
increase can be attributed to programs of record as they mature 
and progress through the acquisition cycle, such as the Ohio 
Class Replacement program, the Presidential helicopter 
replacement program and the Marine Corps' Amphibious Combat 
Vehicle program, the Committee notes that the fiscal year 2016 
request includes no less than $151,563,000 for 13 new start 
programs and $331,000,000 for several programs that the Navy 
proposes to initiate via directive letters, rapid fielding 
efforts or by adding scope to previously approved efforts. 
These initiatives are expected to require at least 
$2,700,000,000 for additional development over the next 5 
years. The Committee notes that in some instances, programs 
initiated outside of the regular acquisition process have 
replaced previously planned programs of record that would have 
been subject to a full vetting of requirements and competitive 
acquisitions. Further, the Committee notes that the Navy is 
investing modernization funds in programs that have only 
recently transitioned from development into production, such as 
the MQ-4C Triton Unmanned Aerial Vehicle, the E-2D Hawkeye 
Airborne Early Warning Aircraft, or the P-8 Poseidon Multi-
mission Maritime Aircraft, while neglecting to invest in the 
modernization of existing and high-demand fleet assets, such as 
Ticonderoga class guided missile cruisers, or in the 
acquisition of self-described current and future warfighter 
needs, such as tactical fighter aircraft.
    The Committee is concerned that the fiscal year 2016 budget 
request continues a trend by the Navy to submit budgets to the 
Congress that accept undue risk in programs deemed by the Navy 
to be critical, with the expectation that the congressional 
appropriations committees will fund these programs within its 
budget allocation for the Department of Defense. For instance, 
in fiscal year 2016, the Navy did not fund the continued 
procurement of tactical fighter aircraft, despite awareness of 
readiness shortfalls. In fiscal year 2015, the Navy removed all 
funds required to retain and modernize CVN 73, USS George 
Washington, from its budget not only in clear contravention of 
Public Law, but also in direct conflict with Navy leadership 
priorities identified to the Committee. In fiscal year 2013, 
the Navy submitted a budget that removed funding for a Virginia 
class submarine previously included in a ten-ship multi-year 
procurement plan.
    As a result of these budgetary maneuvers, the Committee 
must question whether budget requests from the Navy accurately 
reflect the service's most important priorities. This is 
particularly concerning with major acquisitions looming on the 
horizon, most significantly the Ohio Class replacement program. 
The Ohio Class replacement is an indispensable component of the 
Nation's nuclear triad, but the program's acquisition costs are 
expected to exceed $135,000,000,000, with the first ship of the 
class scheduled for procurement in fiscal year 2021. The Navy 
has raised concerns about affordability of this ship within its 
total obligational authority, and has endorsed proposals for 
funding mechanisms that appear to be unprecedented. The 
Committee notes that the Department of Defense has not 
requested, nor appears to be considering, alternative funding 
mechanisms for other acquisition programs estimated to be of 
equal or greater cost: the ballistic missile defense system and 
the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
    The Committee recommendation includes $1,390,663,000 in the 
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy appropriation 
for continued development of the Ohio Class replacement, as 
requested by the Navy. The Committee recommendation does not 
include any new transfer authority or similar proposal in 
relation to alternative funding mechanisms for the Ohio Class 
replacement. The Committee believes that support for 
shipbuilding programs, including the Ohio Class replacement, is 
an imperative for the future of the Navy, as evidenced by the 
recommendation's significant funding increases within the 
Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy appropriation. The Committee 
welcomes an ongoing dialogue with the Department of the Navy 
and the Department of Defense, as well as the other services, 
on prioritizing funding for modernization programs which are 
indispensable to the defense of this Nation.

                       JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER [JSF]

    Joint Strike Fighter [JSF] Production.--The Committee 
remains encouraged by many aspects of the JSF program. Thirty-
six aircraft were delivered in 2014 as planned. The Marine 
Corps is scheduled to meet its Initial Operational Capability 
goal in 2015. The unit prices for each variant, the Air Force 
F-35A, the Marine Corps F-35B, and the Navy F-35C, continue to 
decline. Finally, the Department prudently responded to the 
engine failure last year and the temporary restrictions on 
flying have been lifted. Given these developments, the 
services' unfunded priority lists, and to further accelerate 
unit cost decreases, the Committee recommends adding 
$846,000,000 for six additional Marine Corps aircraft and 
$392,000,000 for four additional Air Force aircraft.
    The Committee notes that while the unit costs for each 
variant are decreasing, the Department is still budgeting at a 
higher unit cost. For example, the Air Force budgets 
$100,500,000 per aircraft, but the Selected Acquisition Report 
[SAR] specifies a target price of approximately $98,000,000. 
Similar trends are apparent in the Navy and Marine Corps 
budgets as well. As a result, the Committee recommends reducing 
the Air Force request by $114,400,000; the Marine Corps request 
by $20,700,000, and the Navy request by $14,400,000.
    Congress appropriated $483,200,000, as requested, for 
annualized sustainment for fiscal year 2014 and 2015 in the 
services' procurement accounts. The contracts have been delayed 
and the funding has not been awarded. In addition, the services 
are requesting $566,000,000 in fiscal year 2016 for annualized 
sustainment with planned award at the end of the fiscal year. 
The Committee is concerned with these large unobligated 
balances and recommends a reduction of $380,000,000.
    Joint Strike Fighter [JSF] Sustainment.--The Committee 
remains concerned with the life cycle or operations and support 
[O&S] costs of the JSF program. The JSF program is the 
Department of Defense's most costly and ambitious program, 
totaling about $1,000,000,000,000 to operate and support over 
its lifetime. Officials from the Office of Secretary of Defense 
[OSD] have stated that the current sustainment strategy is not 
affordable. GAO reported that the current estimates of JSF 
lifecycle costs are higher than the current O&S costs of the 
existing aircraft the F-35 will replace.
    In December 2013, the Office of the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics [OUSD(AT&L)] 
provided the Committee a report titled ``F-35 Engineering 
Workforce, Supply Chain Management, Sustainment Affordability 
and Cost Drivers.'' The report was a comprehensive review of 
operations and sustainment and the program's current 
affordability. The Committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense (AT&L), in conjunction with the JSF Program Executive 
Officer, to update this report and identify areas to better 
integrate O&S cost analysis into day-to-day investment 
decisions.
    Lastly, the Committee understands that OSD's Cost 
Assessment and Program Evaluation [CAPE] office does not plan 
to complete an updated estimate of lifecycle O&S costs until 
2018. OSD CAPE's most recent O&S estimate from 2014 totaled 
$1,016,000,000,000, unchanged from its 2013 estimate, and 
exceeded the JSF Joint Program Office's [JPO] estimate by 
$157,000,000,000. The Committee directs the CAPE Director to 
provide congressional defense committees, not later than 90 
days after enactment of this act, an updated estimate of JSF 
O&S costs.
    Joint Strike Fighter [JSF] Follow-on Development.--The 
Department requests $217,272,000, an increase of 378 percent 
over the fiscal year 2015 enacted level, to develop the next 
generation technologies for the fifth generation fighter. The 
Committee has continued to express concern with concurrency in 
the existing development efforts and the lack of clearly 
defined requirements and cost estimates. As a result, the 
Committee recommends a reduction of $126,276,000, allowing the 
program to continue at a moderate pace.

                    ISRAELI MISSILE DEFENSE PROGRAMS

    The fiscal year 2016 budget request includes $157,795,000 
for Israeli missile defense programs, and the Committee has 
received a request from the Government of Israel to recommend 
$329,800,000 above the budget request for those programs. The 
Committee notes that in fiscal year 2015, Congress appropriated 
$347,039,000 above the budget request for Israeli missile 
defense programs at the request of the Government of Israel and 
provided $225,000,000 in emergency appropriations for Iron Dome 
interceptors in response to a follow-on request from the 
Government of Israel due to activities associated with 
OPERATION PROTECTIVE EDGE.
    The Committee notes that Congress has repeatedly, with 
strong, bi-partisan support, appropriated funds in excess of 
administration requests for Israeli missile defense programs to 
accelerate development of capabilities within a mutually 
agreed-upon U.S.-Israeli framework. However, these increases 
have historically been on a significantly smaller scale than 
the requests presented to the Committee in recent years. The 
Committee is concerned by the apparent disconnect in the 
respective Governments' understanding of future Israeli missile 
defense requirements, U.S. and Israeli funding contributions 
and the role of U.S. industry to ensure fielding of Israeli 
missile defense capabilities, particularly in the absence of 
further U.S.-Israeli production agreements.
    The Committee recommends an additional $329,800,000 for 
Israeli missile defense programs, as requested by the 
Government of Israel. The Committee directs that not more than 
$90,000,000 may be obligated or expended for long lead items in 
support of David's Sling production activities until the 
Secretary of Defense provides to the congressional defense 
committees a joint U.S.-Israeli production agreement that 
addresses, at a minimum, Israeli requirements, production 
plans, the role of U.S. and Israeli industry and the proposed 
use of U.S. funding. Further, the Committee directs that not 
more than $15,000,000 may be obligated or expended for long 
lead items in support of Arrow upper tier production activities 
until the Secretary of Defense provides to the congressional 
defense committees a joint U.S.-Israeli production agreement 
that addresses, at a minimum, Israeli requirements, production 
plans, the role of U.S. and Israeli industry and the proposed 
use of U.S. funding. The Committee notes that the Department of 
Defense has established processes in place to transfer funding 
for long lead items for Israeli missile defense programs 
through an exchange of letters that ensure appropriate 
oversight over subject funds prior to conclusion of production 
agreements.

                                TITLE I

                           MILITARY PERSONNEL

    Funds appropriated under this title provide the resources 
required for basic pay, retired pay accrual, employers' 
contribution for Social Security taxes, basic allowance for 
subsistence, basic allowance for housing, special and incentive 
pays, permanent change of station travel, and other personnel 
costs for uniformed members of the Armed Forces.
    The President's fiscal year 2016 budget requests a total of 
$130,491,227,000 for military personnel appropriations. This 
request funds an Active component end strength of 1,305,200 and 
a Reserve component end strength of 811,000.

                      SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION

    The Committee recommends military personnel appropriations 
totaling $129,442,113,000 for fiscal year 2016. This is 
$1,049,114,000 below the budget estimate.
    Committee recommended military personnel appropriations for 
fiscal year 2016 are summarized below:

               Military Personnel Special Interest Items

    Items for which additional funds have been provided or have 
been specifically reduced as shown in the project level tables 
or in paragraphs using the phrase ``only for'' or ``only to'' 
in the Committee report are congressional special interest 
items for the purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 
1414). Each of these items must be carried on the DD Form 1414 
at the stated amount as specifically addressed in the Committee 
report. Below Threshold Reprogrammings may not be used to 
either restore or reduce funding from congressional interest 
items as identified on the DD Form 1414.

                      Military Personnel Overview

    Reserve Component Budget Reporting.--The Committee 
continues its requirement for the Department to provide a semi-
annual detailed report to the congressional defense committees 
showing transfers between subactivities within the military 
personnel appropriation. Reports shall be submitted not later 
than 30 days following the end of the second quarter and 30 
days following the end of the fiscal year.
    Unobligated Balances.--A Government Accountability Office 
analysis of past year obligation rates shows that the services 
continue to underexecute their military personnel accounts. Due 
to excess unobligated balances, the Committee recommends a 
total reduction of $987,200,000 from the fiscal year 2016 
military personnel accounts.
    Sexual Assault.--The Committee remains concerned with the 
prevalence of sexual assault in the military. The Department of 
Defense's Annual Report on Sexual Assault in the Military for 
fiscal year 2014 found cases of reported sexual assaults 
increased by 11 percent over the previous year. The Committee 
recognizes the efforts by the Department to strengthen its 
sexual assault prevention and response program and notes that, 
according to a study performed by a federally funded research 
and development corporation, the percentage of active duty 
females who experienced unwanted sexual contact during the past 
year declined from an estimated 6.1 percent in 2012 to an 
estimated 4.3 percent in 2014.
    However, the Committee believes more needs to be done to 
create a culture throughout the military in which sexual 
assault is not tolerated. To ensure that the Department 
continues to make progress ending victims' alienation during 
the investigation and prosecution of their case, the Committee 
includes an additional $25,000,000 for implementation of the 
Special Victims' Counsel Program across all the services.
    Guard and Reserve Disability Compensation Processing.--The 
Committee is aware of planned Government Accountability Office 
[GAO] investigations into the disparity in wait times between 
Active Duty and National Guard and Reserve personnel in 
receiving disability compensation. The Committee urges the 
Department to act quickly on GAO's recommendations and ensure 
that adjudication of disability claims of National Guard and 
Reserve members are not delayed.
    Advanced Trauma Training Program for National Guard and 
Reserve.--The Committee recognizes the valuable support 
universities, hospitals, and other military partners provide by 
offering civilian-based emergency response trauma training to 
sustain medics' and medical providers' capabilities of the 
National Guard Enhanced Response Forces Packages [CERFP], 
National Guard Homeland Response Forces [NGHRF], and the Army 
Reserve Consequence Management Response Forces [CCMRF]. The 
Committee encourages the National Guard and Reserve to continue 
pursuing state-of-the-art trauma training with these civilian 
partners, thus maintaining unit medical readiness postures at 
optimum levels as military healthcare providers in CERFPs, 
NGHRFs, and CCMRFs maintain their individual skills to respond 
effectively to emergency incidents on the homeland. 
Furthermore, in order to minimize the civilian-military 
operational gaps in the event of a catastrophic incident, the 
Committee also encourages the development of enhanced 
preparedness medical training programs focusing on mass 
casualty triage, advanced disaster life support, advanced 
hazardous material life support, emergency dental, and 
psychological health by increasing civilian-based advanced 
trauma expertise gained through day-to-day experiences and 
medical research programs.
    Service Academy Superintendents Report.--The Committee 
notes that the Institute for Defense Analyses [IDA] in December 
2014 completed an exhaustive study of superintendent leadership 
at service academies. Among the conclusions of the study was 
that academy superintendents should have an option to continue 
military service at the conclusion of their term, and that the 
tour of duty at service academies should be lengthened beyond 
the standard 3 years.
    Accordingly, the Committee encourages the Secretary of 
Defense to exercise more frequently the waiver authority 
provided under Title 10, United States Code, to allow an 
academy superintendent to continue military service, rather 
than mandatory retirement. The law allows the Secretary of 
Defense to issue such a waiver ``for good cause,'' and the 
Committee encourages the services to make continued and best 
use of senior officers who have distinguished themselves as 
academy superintendents.
    Furthermore, the Committee echoes the concerns of the IDA 
report that 3 years may be an insufficient amount of time for a 
superintendent to assess an academy's current challenges, to 
accomplish strategic planning, to introduce needed change, to 
garner the support of various stake holders groups, and follow 
up on initiatives for lasting effects. Title 10 generally 
requires a minimum of a 3-year tour of duty for an academy 
superintendent, but does not specify a maximum. The Committee 
therefore encourages the service secretaries to strongly 
consider a longer tour of duty for academy superintendents.
    In the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2014, the 
Committee directed the Department of Defense to report to 
Congress recommendations for establishing criteria for 
selecting Service Academy Superintendents. One recommendation 
was to extend the amount of time between a new Superintendent's 
Senate confirmation and assumption of duties from 90 to 120 
days. The Committee strongly supports this recommendation, 
which allows incoming Superintendents additional time for 
specialized training. The Committee will work with the 
committee of jurisdiction to ensure that this and other 
recommendations are fully instituted by the Department of 
Defense.

    Remotely Piloted Aircraft Training.--The Committee is aware 
that the remotely piloted aircraft [RPA] career field has been 
under stress due to the high demand of combat operations. The 
Committee encourages the Air Force to partner with contractors 
and leverage their facilities, equipment and personnel to 
augment pilot training capacity and provide a near-term 
solution to the shortfall of qualified RPA pilots. The 
Committee further encourages the Air Force to facilitate 
industry efforts to train pilots from nations that operate 
variations of the MQ-1 Predator since the Air Force lacks the 
capacity to provide such training.

    With respect to Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide, 
proposed transfers of funds to or from the levels specified for 
defense agencies in excess of $15,000,000 shall be subject to 
prior approval reprogramming procedures.
    During fiscal year 2016, the Committee directs the Service 
Secretaries to submit written notification and justification to 
the congressional defense committees not later than 15 days 
prior to implementing transfers in excess of $15,000,000 out of 
the following budget sub-activities:
        Navy:
                Mission and other flight operations
                Mission and other ship operations
        Air Force:

                Administration and service-wide depot 
                maintenance
    These transfers may be implemented 15 days after a 
congressional notification unless an objection is received from 
one of the congressional defense committees.

            OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE BUDGET EXECUTION DATA

    The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to continue 
to provide the congressional defense committees with quarterly 
budget execution data. Such data should be provided not later 
than 45 days after the close of each quarter of the fiscal 
year, and should be provided for each O-1 budget activity, 
activity group, and sub-activity group for each of the active, 
defense-wide, reserve, and National Guard components. For each 
O-1 budget activity, activity group, and sub-activity group, 
these reports should include the budget request and actual 
obligation amount, the distribution of unallocated 
congressional adjustments to the budget request, all 
adjustments made by the Department in establishing the Base for 
Reprogramming (DD Form 1414) report, all adjustments resulting 
from below threshold reprogrammings, and all adjustments 
resulting from prior approval reprogramming requests.

            OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE SPECIAL INTEREST ITEMS

    Items for which additional funds have been provided or have 
been specifically reduced as shown in the project level tables 
or in paragraphs using the phrase ``only for'' or ``only to'' 
in the Committee report are congressional special interest 
items for the purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 
1414). Each of these items must be carried on the DD Form 1414 
at the stated amount as specifically addressed in the Committee 
report. Below Threshold Reprogrammings may not be used to 
either restore or reduce funding from congressional special 
interest items as identified on the DD Form 1414.

                   OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW

    Civilian Workforce.--The Committee expects the Department 
of Defense to maintain a stable, effective, right-sized 
civilian cadre. The Committee recognizes the critical role that 
the civilian workforce plays every day in ensuring the mission 
success of the Armed Forces and fully funds the 1.3 percent pay 
raise for civilian personnel as requested.
    Workforce Management.--The Committee supports a workforce 
management plan that is fair for all sectors of the workforce. 
Decisions on sourcing new work, expanding existing 
responsibilities, or transferring functions currently performed 
by civilian personnel or contractors to performance by military 
personnel must not proceed without comparing the costs 
according to the Department's own methodology. Therefore, 
decisions whether to assign new work which is not inherently 
governmental, closely associated with inherently governmental 
functions, or critical to military, civilian, or contractor 
personnel, shall be based on the results of the costing 
methodology laid out in Department of Defense Instruction 
[DODI] 7041.04. Additionally, before converting functions 
performed by civilian personnel or contractors to performance 
by military personnel that are not required by law or 
regulation to be performed by military personnel, the 
Department shall adhere to its own costing methodology laid out 
in DODI 7041.04.
    Civilian Compensation.--For the past 2 years, the Committee 
has recommended reductions in the operation and maintenance 
accounts based on the overestimation of civilian full time 
equivalent [FTE] levels. Through analysis directed by the 
Committee during the fiscal year 2016 review, the data showed 
that while the services continue to underexecute the number of 
authorized civilian FTE, they overexecute the funding levels 
budgeted for civilian FTE. The most common explanation for this 
apparent disconnect is that average salary continues to grow at 
a greater rate than planned. For example, the Army explained 
that for one line item in Operation and Maintenance, Army, the 
number of civilian FTE was unchanged between fiscal year 2015 
and fiscal year 2016, yet civilian compensation went up by 8 
percent between those years.
    The Committee understands the difficulties in predicting 
civilian FTE levels, particularly during the past several 
turbulent years. However, the Secretary of Defense is 
encouraged to review the trend of increasing civilian 
compensation, despite the pay raise only increasing minimally 
each year, and the underexecution of FTE levels. In order to 
the facilitate this review, the Committee directs the 
Government Accountability Office [GAO] to provide a report to 
the congressional defense committees not later than 180 days of 
the enactment of this act making recommendations to improve the 
management of civilian compensation and FTE levels. Within the 
analysis, the Committee suggests the GAO explore the factors 
influencing average salary and how to better control its 
volatility. Also, the GAO shall examine how to standardize the 
types of growth included in pay rates versus program growth 
(for example, the Army includes an extra compensable day as a 
rate adjustment but the Navy breaks it out as program growth). 
Finally, the report shall examine steps the Department of 
Defense can take to formulate a civilian compensation budget 
that better captures the true cost of the civilian workforce.
    Contract Services Spending.--The Committee is concerned 
that the Department of Defense does not have adequate policies, 
procedures, and controls in place to enforce limitations on the 
annual amounts expended on contracted services. There is 
further concern that not all contracted services are being 
subjected to spending limitations because of the exclusion of 
contracted services involving Economy Act transfers between and 
within Department of Defense components. Additionally, because 
of the disparity between the levels of contracted services 
captured in the Inventory of Contracts for Services, required 
under section 2330a of title 10, United States Code, and what 
the Department budgets for contracted services, it appears as 
though the Department does not deliberately plan for most 
contracted services. The Committee urges the Under Secretary of 
Defense (Comptroller) to review the efforts of the financial 
management and acquisition communities to implement effective 
control mechanisms for contracted services spending.
    Operation and Maintenance Budget Justification.--The 
Committee commends the Department for the improvements in the 
Operation and Maintenance [O&M] budget materials made over the 
past several years. To further inform the congressional review, 
the Committee directs the following actions:
  --The budget justification materials shall include the OP-8B: 
        Total Civilian Personnel Costs for every appropriation 
        as a part of the President's budget justification.
  --Each OP-5 exhibit includes a personnel summary which 
        provides helpful information about the civilian 
        workforce. However, the way it is displayed includes 
        memo entries for military technicians and reimbursable 
        civilians, which makes it difficult to quickly analyze 
        direct hire full time equivalents [FTEs]. The Office of 
        the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) is 
        encouraged to revise the personnel summary section of 
        the OP-5 exhibit to maintain the categories of 
        information provided (including military technicians 
        and reimbursable civilians) but to breakout the numbers 
        without using memo entries.
  --Every subactivity group in O&M that funds recruiting and 
        advertising activities shall include the budget profile 
        broken out by recruiting and advertising for the prior 
        year, current year, and budget year as a part of the 
        performance criteria in the OP-5 exhibit.
  --Several of the defense agencies' budget justification 
        submissions in O&M Defense-wide are not following the 
        Financial Management Regulations [FMR]. On the OP-5 
        exhibit, the FMR directs that that the Reconciliation 
        of Increases and Decreases should ``itemize and justify 
        the major program changes in each year . . . Such 
        justification should clearly explain programmatic 
        changes in resource levels including why increases are 
        required or decreases occur.'' Instead of addressing 
        programmatic increases and decreases, some defense 
        agencies group adjustments by OP-32 lines such as 
        increases to ``supplies and materials'' or decreases to 
        ``other intragovernmental purchases.'' The defense 
        agencies are directed to address programmatic changes 
        as opposed to using OP-32 line titles on the OP-5 
        exhibit.
  --The FMR directs the services and defense agencies to 
        itemize major program changes and provide the baseline 
        in dollars to which the increase or decrease applies on 
        the OP-5 exhibit. Some of the services default to the 
        subactivity total as the baseline for changes or only 
        list a specific baseline if a particular program is 
        broken out in the performance criteria. The services 
        and defense agencies are directed to use the most 
        specific programmatic baseline possible, regardless of 
        whether or not the program baseline is listed in the 
        performance criteria.
  --The FMR provides specific instructions for the performance 
        criteria for base operations support (Exhibit OP-5 Base 
        Support Program (Attachment 8)). The services are 
        directed to follow this outline; particularly the 
        instruction that says that the sum of amounts must 
        match the Base Support total in the O-1 exhibit.
  --The Office of Economic Adjustment's budget documentation in 
        O&M Defense-wide shall include the budget profile of 
        each major program for the prior year, current year, 
        and budget year as a part of the performance criteria 
        in the OP-5 exhibit. Examples of major programs would 
        be Program Assistance, Defense Industry Adjustment, and 
        Guam.
  --The Army, for subactivity groups 211 Strategic Mobility and 
        212 Army Prepositioned Stocks, shall include the budget 
        profile broken out by each Army Prepositioned Stocks 
        [APS] unit set for the prior year, current year, and 
        budget year as a part of the performance criteria in 
        the OP-5 exhibit.
  --The Department of the Air Force is encouraged to begin 
        utilizing OP-32 line 990 Information Technology 
        Contract Support Services.
    Financial Literacy.--The Committee supports the 
Department's plan to develop a Financial Education Program for 
the men and women of the armed services. The program is meant 
to educate servicemembers on best practices in regards to 
career transition, health benefits, retirement planning and 
savings, and overall financial readiness.
    Tobacco Use in the Military.--Tobacco use is the leading 
cause of preventable death in the United States, with more than 
480,000 deaths attributable to cigarette smoking each year. The 
Department of Defense has affirmed the goal of a tobacco-free 
military, and has implemented a range of programs including 
public education campaigns, the banning of all tobacco use 
during basic training, and the prohibition of tobacco use by 
instructors in the presence of students. In support of these 
goals, the Committee retains a provision from the Department of 
Defense Appropriations Act, 2015 directing the elimination of 
the price subsidy provided to tobacco products at military 
exchanges.
    Voluntary Military Education Programs--Tracking Outcomes.--
The Committee is concerned about the lack of information 
available on the outcomes of students receiving Tuition 
Assistance and My Career Advancement Account [MyCAA] benefits. 
Therefore, the Committee directs the Department to submit a 
report tracking such outcomes of each of these programs. The 
report shall be submitted on or before June 1, 2016, and shall 
include, but not be limited to, the following data totals for 
calendar year 2015: an aggregate graduation rate, loan default 
rate, and average indebtedness. Additionally, the report shall 
then disaggregate the data to show these same metrics by 
sector: public, private for-profit, and private not-for-profit. 
Finally, the report shall include the percentage of 
servicemembers utilizing the Top-Up program for voluntary 
military education and the average dollar amount of usage. The 
Department is also encouraged to make an effort to gather data 
on the jobs attained after graduation, specifically whether 
those jobs can be reasonably said to be in the field of study 
identified in the students' education plans.
    Voluntary Military Education Programs--Third Party 
Audits.--The Committee recognizes the importance of voluntary 
military education programs to the continued education of our 
men and women in uniform and their spouses. In recent years, 
the programs have grown in popularity among servicemembers and, 
as such, in cost to the Federal Government. Despite recent 
efforts to improve oversight, the Committee notes that 
Department of Defense attempts to obtain key information needed 
to assess the quality of nearly 3,000 schools servicemembers 
attend have been largely unsuccessful.
    The Committee is concerned about the number and 
transparency of third party audits of schools within the 
Department's Tuition Assistance program. In light of these 
concerns, the Committee commends the Department for its 
decision to develop a new Statement of Work for third party 
audits for execution under a new contract which will strengthen 
protections for, and the quality of education provided to, the 
military community. Since previous third party assessments 
lacked coherence and specificity, and did not fully consider 
the qualifications needed by the contractor conducting the 
assessments before awarding the contract, the Committee 
encourages the Secretary of Defense to develop a clear, written 
plan for third party assessments of schools. As part of that 
plan, the Department is urged to (1) develop clear, measurable 
questions to guide the assessments and (2) require that the 
entity or entities conducting the assessments have the 
necessary skills, expertise and experience to effectively 
assess the schools.
    Extremity Protection Program.--The Committee encourages the 
Department of Defense to fully fund the Cold Weather Protective 
Equipment--Extremity Protection Program in order to sustain 
research and development programs, acquisition requirements and 
to maintain a basic combat capability in protective equipment 
for servicemembers.
    Contracting Outreach to the U.S. Construction Industry.--
The Committee is concerned about the high unemployment rate of 
the Nation's construction industry. Despite the efforts of the 
Office of Federal Procurement Policy to increase communication 
between procurement officers and industry, local contractors 
very often are not aware or do not have the opportunity to 
compete for local construction projects. The Committee believes 
the Department of Defense, as a whole, should modernize its 
traditional outreach methods to reach a broader group of local 
contractors. Therefore, the Committee encourages the 
Secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force as well as 
Directors of Defense Agencies to review their respective 
construction contracting regulations and instructions to ensure 
adequate direction regarding Federal procurement opportunities 
and bidding processes is provided to local construction 
industry contractors, especially small businesses, minority-
owned businesses, and women-owned businesses.
    Data Center Consolidation Efforts.--The cost of Information 
Technology [IT] continues to be a significant limiting factor 
on the budgets of Federal agencies, including the Department of 
Defense. As such, it is imperative that the Department take 
advantage of data center consolidation efforts occurring not 
only within its agencies, but throughout the Federal Government 
while maintaining high levels of security. The Committee 
believes that there are opportunities to ensure such security 
in centers operated by agencies such as the Department of 
Homeland Security, where the capacity and the infrastructure to 
support Department of Defense security needs is already in 
place. Therefore, the Committee strongly encourages the 
Department of Defense to explore options regarding the use of 
secure data centers outside of the Department of Defense, 
including those currently operated for the Department of 
Homeland Security, to reduce costs and to more rapidly achieve 
IT modernization through the use of cloud services.
    National Security Planning.--The Committee notes that it 
has yet to receive the report from the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Policy on the national security implications of 
environmental impacts, as required by Senate Report 113-211 
(July 17, 2014). That report is to address the most serious 
risks for each of the geographic Combatant Commands, and how 
those commands are integrating mitigation of those risks into 
their planning processes. The Committee encourages the Under 
Secretary of Defense for Policy and the Chairman of the Joint 
Chiefs of Staff to continue to assess the risks to national 
security posed by environmental impacts as they plan and 
execute the National Security Strategy.
    Pre-Engineered/Prefabricated Buildings and Structures.--The 
Committee encourages the Department of Defense to expand 
utilization of the existing General Services Administration 
[GSA] Schedule for Pre-Engineered/Prefabricated Buildings and 
Structures [PEBS]. The Committee urges the Department's 
contracting personnel and agency executives to consider the 
savings in costs and time potentially gained by procuring its 
facility needs, when possible and practical, through the GSA 
Schedule. The Committee also encourages the Department's policy 
makers and program managers to streamline the process and 
eliminate any unnecessary bureaucratic, regulatory or policy 
impediments to such GSA procurement.
    Procurement of Personal Protective Equipment.--
Organizational Clothing and Individual Equipment [OCIE] and 
Personal Protective Equipment [PPE] used by the services are 
specifically designed to meet challenging military 
requirements. Items such as body armor, eye protection, helmets 
and other specialized clothing are highly-engineered equipment 
designed and manufactured to meet rigorous performance 
standards and stringent production quality requirements. The 
Secretary of Defense is encouraged to use the best value 
contracting methods when procuring OCIE and PPE.
    Council of Governors and Cyber Capabilities.--The Committee 
supports the ongoing efforts of the Department of Defense, U.S. 
Cyber Command, and the Active and Reserve Components of the 
armed services to develop offensive and defense cyber teams, 
but recognizes a lack of synchronization among Federal and 
State stakeholders in developing mission and funding 
requirements, especially for National Guard cyber teams. The 
Council of Governors was created as a mechanism for Governors 
and Federal officials to address matters pertaining to the 
National Guard, homeland defense, and defense support to civil 
authorities. As outlined in the Council's Joint Action Plan for 
State-Federal Unity of Effort on Cybersecurity, the Council 
also has a shared responsibility with Federal partners to 
enhance a national unity of effort in protecting critical 
infrastructure from cyber threats. Therefore, the Committee 
directs the Department of Defense to consult with the Council 
of Governors regarding cyber mission force requirements and 
synchronization among the Active, Reserve and National Guard 
components not later than 60 days after enactment of this act. 
Additionally, the Committee requests that the Council of 
Governors report to the congressional defense committees not 
later than 90 days after enactment of this act, any 
recommendations regarding cyber mission requirements and 
synchronization.
    Reduce Government Printing.--The Committee is concerned 
about wasteful printing practices and the lack of clear 
printing policies within the Department of Defense. While 
progress has been made to better utilize the cloud and 
digitalize records, little progress has been made to reform in-
house printing practices. The Committee recommends the 
Department of Defense work with the Office of Management and 
Budget to reduce printing and reproduction by 34 percent and 
report to the congressional defense committees not later than 
60 days after enactment of this act on what steps have been 
taken to reduce printing volume and costs. The report should 
specifically identify how much money the Department of Defense 
will be saving.
    Resourcing the Arctic Strategy.--The Committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to submit, in conjunction with fiscal year 
2017 budget request exhibits, a concise accounting of the 
manner in which amounts requested in the budget for fiscal year 
2017 support implementation of the Department of Defense's 2013 
Arctic Strategy, including, to the maximum extent practicable, 
identification of specific obligations that address gaps in 
research, military infrastructure and capabilities in the 
Arctic region. The accounting should also make note of 
obligations for military capabilities unique to the Arctic 
region. This material should be submitted in unclassified form 
but may include a classified annex.

    Productivity Enhancement Program.--The Department of 
Defense's organic depot maintenance capability is vital to our 
military's sustainment infrastructure. The Committee encourages 
the Secretary of the Army to modernize the organic depots' 
Electronic Test and Measurement Equipment [ET&ME] to allow cost 
savings in future maintenance and calibration expenditures.
    Aviation Force Structure.--The Committee notes that, due to 
fiscal constraints caused by the Budget Control Act of 2011 
[BCA], total obligational authority provided for the Army's 
aviation portfolio has been reduced by approximately 
$2,500,000,000 per year through fiscal year 2019. As a direct 
result, the Army is reducing total active duty Combat Aviation 
Brigades from 13 to 10 and annual aviation accessions and 
training throughput from 1,091 students to as few as 750. These 
reductions limit the Army's ability to re-grow its aviation 
portfolio in a post-BCA fiscal environment. The Committee 
directs the Secretary of the Army to submit to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than 90 days after 
enactment of this act, a report outlining the Army's plans to 
mitigate impacts on aviation training over fiscal years 2016-
2021.

    Naval Shipyard Apprentice Program.--The Committee directs 
that during fiscal year 2016 the Navy shall induct classes of 
no fewer than 100 apprentices, respectively, at each of the 
naval shipyards. The Committee further directs the Navy to 
include the costs of the fiscal year 2017 class of apprentices 
in its budget request.
    U.S. Coast Guard.--The Committee is aware that Department 
of Defense [DOD] regulations currently restrict DOD mission 
appropriated funded activities from offering reimbursable rates 
to non-DOD agencies. This restriction forces the Navy to charge 
the U.S. Coast Guard fully burdened rates for drydocking 
services at Navy shipyards rather than reimbursable rates. 
Therefore, the Committee directs that funds appropriated under 
Operation and Maintenance, Navy may be used to pay overhead 
costs incurred by a Naval Shipyard when drydocking U.S. Coast 
Guard ships.
    Bromine-free Water Purification Systems.--Until recently, 
most-onboard ship water purification systems used bromine as an 
antimicrobial. However, bromine is toxic and requires special 
hazardous material [HAZMAT] handling which is time consuming 
and expensive. While the Navy has placed bromine-free systems 
on most of the large-deck surface ship classes, it has not yet 
removed bromine systems from the Littoral Combat Ship, 
Ticonderoga class cruisers, destroyers or frigates. The 
Committee urges the Navy to consider using systems that 
eliminate this HAZMAT threat to personnel.
    ARCTIC EDGE and NORTHERN EDGE EXERCISES.--ARCTIC EDGE and 
NORTHERN EDGE are joint Combatant Command exercises that bring 
mission partners together to exercise operational response 
plans for U.S. Northern Command [USNORTHCOM] and U.S. Pacific 
Command [USPACOM] missions. Historically, USNORTHCOM has 
executed ARCTIC EDGE in even years, and USPACOM has executed 
NORTHERN EDGE in odd years. In conjunction with the transfer of 
Alaskan Command [ALCOM] from USPACOM to USNORTHCOM in October 
2014, the Committee realigns $3,700,000 from Operation and 
Maintenance, Navy line 1CCH, to the Combatant Commander 
Exercise Engagement Training Transformation [CE2T2] account 
under the Office of the Secretary of Defense line in Operation 
and Maintenance, Defense-wide to execute fiscal year 2016 
ARCTIC EDGE and fund planning activities for the fiscal year 
2017 NORTHERN EDGE. For subsequent fiscal years, the Committee 
assumes the Secretary of Defense will continue to program funds 
in a similar fashion to execute NORTHERN EDGE and fund planning 
activities for ARCTIC EDGE in odd fiscal years and to execute 
ARCTIC EDGE and fund planning activities for NORTHERN EDGE in 
even fiscal years to support alternating biennial exercises. 
USNORTHCOM and USPACOM will continue to provide CJCS Exercise 
Strategic Lift from their respective CE2T2 Joint Exercise 
Training Program funding.
    Tubular Light-Emitting Diode Technology.--The Committee 
commends the Navy for its increasing use of tubular light-
emitting diode [T-LED] lighting and encourages it to continue 
these activities. The Committee urges the Navy to consider 
updating lighting specifications for ships and bases so T-LED 
use is an option, developing an approved products list for T-
LEDs that is broadly available for use in all vessels and 
bases, using ``total life cycle costs'' to determine the value 
of T-LEDs, and making the installation of T-LEDs in vessels a 
priority when appropriate, such as during ship retrofits and 
new builds.
    Ship Overhaul Opportunistic Part-Marking Compliance.--The 
Committee supports the Navy's efforts to improve compliance 
with its Opportunistic Part-Marking policy during ship 
overhauls and repairs at shipyards across the country. 
Compliance with the policy will help the Navy produce clean 
financial audits, lower total life-cycle cost, identify 
counterfeit parts, and save taxpayer funding through improved 
productivity, efficiency, maintenance, and logistical planning.

    Combatant Commands Direct Mission Support.--The Air Force 
request includes Combatant Command direct mission funding which 
supports the various geographic and functional missions 
assigned to support the National Security Strategy and National 
Military Strategy. The Air Force is the Combatant Command 
Support Agent [CCSA] for U.S. Central Command [CENTCOM], U.S. 
Northern Command [NORTHCOM], North American Aerospace Defense 
Command [NORAD], U.S. Special Operations Command [SOCOM], U.S. 
Strategic Command [STRATCOM], and U.S. Transportation Command 
[TRANSCOM]. The budget justification for the Combatant Commands 
lacks the details necessary to adequately review the programs. 
The Committee recommendation includes full funding for STRATCOM 
and encourages the Air Force to continue to improve the 
justification for Combatant Commands Direct Mission Support.
    Nuclear Force Improvement Program.--The Committee welcomes 
recent efforts by the Air Force to reinvigorate its nuclear 
enterprise, which includes the ground-based and air-based legs 
of the Nation's nuclear triad. The recommendation supports the 
fiscal year 2016 budget request of more than $130,000,000 for 
the Nuclear Force Improvement Program [NFIP] spread across the 
personnel and operation and maintenance accounts. The Committee 
directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a report to 
the congressional defense committees not later than 180 days 
after enactment of this act that lists investments made in the 
NFIP by fiscal year, and describes how these investments 
improve the health of the Air Force's nuclear enterprise.
    Powder River Training Complex.--The Committee recognizes 
the importance of viable airspace ranges to support training 
operations for the Active, Guard, and Reserve components. It 
also recognizes that the implementation of approved airspace 
must be done in a safe and coordinated fashion. The Committee 
encourages the Air Force to continue to work with the Federal 
Aviation Administration and all interested parties as the 
Powder River Training Complex Record of Decision is 
implemented. Facilitating emergency air traffic and providing, 
timely, regular updates concerning airspace usage and 
scheduling via electronic distribution networks to ensure that 
interested party concerns are received and addressed are of 
particular concern.

    Defense Language National Security Education Office.--The 
Committee recognizes that, in partnership with universities 
across the country, the National Security Education Program 
provides critical training for servicemembers and government 
officials in a number of languages and strategic cultures, 
including those of the Arab world, Afghanistan, China, and 
Iran. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to 
continue placing a high priority on these programs to ensure 
warfighters receive the language and culture training needed to 
complete their missions effectively.
    Defense Personnel Accounting Agency.--The Committee is 
pleased with the establishment of the Defense Personnel 
Accounting Agency [DPAA], which is responsible for the national 
effort to develop and implement policy on all matters relating 
to personnel accounting. The Committee encourages the 
Department to partner with research universities with expertise 
in archeology and remains recovery in order to provide the 
fullest possible accounting for missing personnel from past 
conflicts.
    Wildlife Trafficking.--The committee supports efforts by 
Africa Command and Special Operations Command to assist in the 
limitation of animal poaching and wildlife trafficking through 
their capacity building engagements with African governments 
and authorities, including ``train the trainer'' exchanges and 
exercises and encourages the continuation of these engagements 
in areas affected by wildlife trafficking. The committee also 
encourages the Department of Defense to examine avenues to 
facilitate the provision of surplus and retired U.S. military 
equipment to governments engaged in countering wildlife 
trafficking. The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
report to the congressional defense committees not later than 
120 days after enactment of this act, describing the planned 
activities in support of the National Strategy for Combating 
Wildlife Trafficking Implementation Plan.
    Counter-Lord's Resistance Army.--The Department of Defense 
shall continue its support of Operation Observant Compass to 
enable regional partners to continue to conduct operations 
against Joseph Kony and the Lord's Resistance Army.
    African Standby Force.--The Committee recognizes that the 
rapid deployment capability envisioned for the African Standby 
Force [ASF] has the potential to counter emerging crises and 
provide greatly needed peacekeeping support in Africa. However, 
this capability has been slow to develop, faces inadequate 
troop contributions, and has yet to reach full operational 
capability more than a decade since its inception. As the 
combatant command overseeing U.S. military policy in Africa, 
Africa Command [AFRICOM] may have a constructive role in 
engaging the African Union's Regional Economic Communities who 
are tasked to provide the necessary capabilities to bring ASF 
to full operational capability. Therefore, the Committee 
directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the 
congressional defense committees not later than 120 days after 
enactment of this act, on AFRICOM's capabilities to engage the 
Regional Economic Communities. The report should also include 
an assessment of the military capacity shortfalls, to include 
logistics and airlift that must be addressed as African nations 
stand up a capable response force.
    Communities Affected by Army Force Structure Reductions.--
The Committee is concerned about the economic impact of Army 
force structure reductions on local communities and directs the 
Department of Defense Office of Economic Adjustment to make 
economic adjustment assistance available to communities 
affected by such reductions. The Director of the Office of 
Economic Adjustment shall submit to congressional defense 
committees, not later than 90 days after the date upon which 
the Army announces a force structure change involving the 
reduction of 1,000 or more soldiers at any one location, a 
report detailing assistance that will be made available to 
communities adversely affected by the decision.

            reprogramming guidance for acquisition accounts

    The Secretary of Defense is directed to continue to follow 
the reprogramming guidance as specified in the report 
accompanying the House version of the Department of Defense 
appropriations bill for fiscal year 2008 (House Report 110-
279). Specifically, the dollar threshold for reprogramming 
funds will remain at $20,000,000 for procurement and 
$10,000,000 for research, development, test and evaluation.
    Also, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) is 
directed to continue to provide the congressional defense 
committees quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD Form 1416 reports 
for service and defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of 
this act. Reports for titles III and IV shall comply with 
guidance specified in the explanatory statement accompanying 
the Department of Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 
2006. The Department shall continue to follow the limitation 
that prior approval reprogrammings are set at either the 
specified dollar threshold or 20 percent of the procurement or 
research, development, test and evaluation line, whichever is 
less. These thresholds are cumulative from the base for 
reprogramming value as modified by any adjustments. Therefore, 
if the combined value of transfers into or out of a procurement 
(P-1), or a research, development, test and evaluation (R-1) 
line exceeds the identified threshold, the Secretary of Defense 
must submit a prior approval reprogramming to the congressional 
defense committees. In addition, guidelines on the application 
of prior approval reprogramming procedures for congressional 
special interest items are established elsewhere in this 
report.

                          PROCUREMENT OVERVIEW

    Airspace Compliance.--In order for Department of Defense 
aircraft to operate in the both the Federal Aviation 
Administration-controlled airspace and International Civil 
Aviation Organization-controlled airspace after January 1, 
2020, the Department must add appropriate equipment to all 
current and future aviation platforms projected to operate in 
those airspaces. Due to various delays, the Department has 
indicated that many aircraft will not meet the mandated 
compliance date and will need waivers to operate in controlled 
airspace. The Committee believes that had the Department taken 
a centralized role in the oversight of airspace compliance and 
monitored the progress of each fleet towards meeting the 
mandate, the services would have developed solutions in a more 
expedient manner and fewer waivers would have been necessary. 
Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
report to the congressional defense committees, not later than 
180 days after enactment of this act, (1) each aircraft type, 
by service, required to comply with the mandates, (2) the cost 
associated with making the aircraft compliant, (3) the 
projected compliance date for each aircraft and (4) the 
projected date to obtain waivers for each aircraft, if 
necessary. The Committee expects the Secretary of Defense to 
take a more proactive role in ensuring that United States 
military aircraft are approved to operate in controlled 
airspace past January 1, 2020.
    Army Organic Industrial Base.--The Committee directs the 
Secretary of the Army to provide 45-day written notification to 
the congressional defense committees prior to the Secretary 
approving civilian reductions in force that will result in an 
employment loss of 50 or more full-time employees at any Army 
organic industrial base facility. The notification shall 
include the impact that the proposed reduction in force will 
have on the ability to maintain the organic industrial base 
critical manufacturing capabilities as delineated in the Army 
Organic Industrial Base Strategy Report, a detailed accounting 
of the costs of implementing the reduction in force, and an 
assessment of the cost of, and time necessary, to restore any 
lost capability to meet future organic wartime manufacturing 
needs.
    Arsenal Sustainment Initiative.--The Committee supports the 
ongoing efforts of the Department of the Army to develop the 
Army Organic Industrial Base Strategy. This process is 
identifying manufacturing capabilities at each organic 
industrial facility that are critical for the country to 
sustain in wartime and peacetime if the U.S. military is called 
to act. However, the Committee is concerned that while the Army 
Organic Industrial Base Strategy is identifying capabilities, 
it has not prioritized them in annual budget requests to 
Congress. In particular, the Nation's arsenals are at risk of 
not having the capacity to respond rapidly to meet the 
Department's needs. The Committee directs the Secretary of the 
Army to assign the arsenals sufficient workload to maintain the 
critical capabilities identified in the Army Organic Industrial 
Base Strategy Report and ensure cost efficiency and technical 
competence in peacetime, while preserving the ability to 
provide an effective and timely response to mobilizations, 
national defense contingency situations, and other emergency 
requirements.
    Further, the Committee is aware that while the Army's 
manufacturing arsenals have provided critical wartime needs to 
all the services, they are not always considered by the other 
services for the work opportunities which help sustain them in 
peacetime. Given the arsenals' unique capabilities, the 
Committee looks forward to receiving the Secretary of Defense's 
report detailing recommendations on how the Air Force, Navy and 
Marine Corps can better use the arsenals for their 
manufacturing needs. Noting that fulfilling spare parts needs 
are an important part of our organic industrial base, the 
Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to also report to 
the congressional defense committees not later than 90 days 
after enactment of this act assessing what opportunities may 
exist for the arsenals to assist the services and the Defense 
Logistics Agency to procure for our spare parts inventory.
    Hellfire Missiles.--The Committee notes that the Department 
requested authority in February 2015 to reprogram funding to 
align Hellfire missile inventories with operational and 
organizational requirements. The reprogramming request followed 
similar requests in each of the four prior fiscal years, 
indicating that Hellfire missile inventories could be more 
effectively managed across and between the services. The 
Committee directs the Director of Cost Analysis and Program 
Evaluation to review short-range air-to-ground missile 
requirements, Hellfire inventory requirements, Hellfire 
inventory management processes and practices, and current and 
prospective Hellfire operational demand and submit to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than 180 days after 
enactment of this act, recommendations for jointly optimizing 
the management of Hellfire missiles, or that of a substantively 
similar capability, across the four services.
    Physical Access Control Systems.--The Committee remains 
concerned with the challenges the Department of Defense 
continues to face with the efficacy of physical access control 
systems and notes that it is yet to receive a report as 
required by Senate Report 113-211. Last year's report requested 
that the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force perform a 
business case analysis that examines the development, 
procurement, and sustainment cost of existing physical access 
control systems compared to the cost of physical access control 
systems available commercially. The Secretaries shall provide 
the report to the congressional defense committees summarizing 
the outcome of this business case analysis and actions they 
plan to take to implement the most affordable solution not 
later than 180 days after enactment of this act.

    MQ-1 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle [UAV].--The fiscal year 2016 
President's budget request includes $276,973,000 in base and 
Overseas Contingency Operations funding to procure 17 
additional MQ-1 UAVs, which is 17 aircraft above the Army 
validated requirement. The Committee is concerned with the 
small subset of the total Army MQ-1 UAVs providing 
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance [ISR] for the 
combatant commanders. The Army's justification for additional 
aircraft in the fiscal year 2016 request is to support the 
increase in Combat Air Patrols [CAPs] requested by the 
Department of Defense. The Committee supports the request to 
procure the additional aircraft, but reduces the funding by 
$60,800,000 due to unit cost efficiencies. Additionally, the 
Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to do a complete 
review of the required CAPs to meet Combatant Commanders 
requirements, identify the mix of ISR aircraft across the Air 
Force, Army and Special Operations Command to meet such 
requirements, and provide a report to the congressional defense 
committees not later than 180 days after enactment of this act.
    CH-47F Cargo Helicopter Modifications.--The Committee 
understands that the Department of the Army is developing 
technologies that are common between the Special Operations 
Command MH-47G Chinook helicopter and Army CH-47F Block II 
helicopter in areas such as fuel system commonality. Therefore, 
the Committee encourages the Army to develop and field

    Corrosion Mitigation Covers.--The Committee recognizes the 
importance of protecting critical aviation assets from 
corrosion and environmental degradation and supports the 
Department of the Army's efforts to address this concern 
through the use of corrosion mitigation covers. Therefore, the 
Committee encourages the Army to acquire corrosion mitigation 
covers to provide protection to key equipment assets to 
increase the mission capability of our critical weapons 
systems.

    Stryker Lethality Upgrades.--The Committee understands that 
the Army is evaluating various courses of action to address the 
operational needs statement for increased Stryker lethality of 
the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, U.S. Army Europe. As the courses of 
action materialize and the tradeoffs between the schedule of 
fielding the first upgraded units and the risk in the 
acquisition schedule are properly balanced, the Committee is 
open to considering reprogramming requests that address the 
required funding.
    MK-19 Grenade Machine Gun Modifications.--The fiscal year 
2016 President's budget request includes $2,777,000 for MK-19 
40mm grenade machine gun launchers to improve the lethality and 
accuracy of the weapon. The MK-19 has been a reliable and 
effective weapon for many years, including extensive 
operational use in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, the Committee 
is concerned with the Army's plan to upgrade the weapon. The 
Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to submit a report 
to congressional defense committees, not later than 180 days 
after enactment of this act, that addresses the feasibility of 
utilizing commercial, off-the-shelf technologies to upgrade the 
MK-19 and validates the requirement for the improved components 
of the MOD 5 kits.
    Handgun.--The fiscal year 2016 President's budget request 
includes $5,417,000 to support the procurement of modular 
handgun systems. The Committee is concerned that the Army is 
rushing to pursue a new acquisition program to replace the M9 
pistol before adequately exploring other cost-effective 
solutions to meet the Army's handgun requirements. Based on the 
Army's transfer request, the Committee does not provide funding 
for modular handgun systems in fiscal year 2016.

    European Facilities Communications.--The Committee notes 
capability gaps in communications security at U.S. Army Europe 
[USAREUR] facilities, which rely on outdated radio 
infrastructure. A study by the Naval Surface Warfare Center--
Crane recommended that USAREUR adopt a single enterprise radio 
infrastructure by entering into a joint agreement with U.S. Air 
Forces Europe to utilize their Enterprise Land Mobile Radio 
[ELMR] program. The Committee recognizes that a joint ELMR 
program would result in cost savings and support Joint 
Information Environment goals. The Committee directs the 
Secretary of the Army to provide a USAREUR radio upgrade 
strategy to the congressional defense committees not later than 
120 days after enactment of this act.
    Heavy Equipment Transport.--Future upgrades to the Army's 
M1 Abrams tank, planned for fielding as early as fiscal year 
2019, will likely increase the weight of the platform in excess 
of the M1070 Heavy Equipment Transport [HET] and associated 
M1000 HET Trailer's current carrying capacity of 70 tons. The 
Committee encourages the Army to establish and fund an M1070 
and M1000 recapitalization program or programs.
    MRAP Recovery Vehicle Upgrades.--The Committee recognizes 
the Army's continuing need for, and investment in, Mine 
Resistant Armored Personnel recovery vehicles [MRV] and 
recommends that the Army move expeditiously to install and 
evaluate MRV performance kits. The Committee directs the 
Secretary of the Army to provide a report to the congressional 
defense committees, not later than 60 days after enactment of 
this act, on the status of the MRV fleet including actual and 
planned fielded quantities and locations, MRV capability 
requirements, and estimates of budgets across the Future Years 
Defense Program needed to meet the Army's current and future 
MRV needs.
    HMMWV Ambulances.--The Committee recommends an additional 
$60,000,000 for High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle 
[HMMWV] ambulances, of which $40,000,000 is intended for the 
Army National Guard and $20,000,000 for the Army Reserve.
    Ultra-Light Combat Vehicle.--The Committee is aware that 
the Army is developing requirements for an Ultra-Light Combat 
Vehicle [ULCV] for use by general purpose infantry. The 
Committee encourages the Secretary of the Army to develop and 
acquire ULCV using commercially available platforms, non-
developmental items, and full and open competition.

    CH-53K Helicopter.--The fiscal year 2016 President's budget 
request includes $41,300,000 in advance procurement for the 
first two low rate initial production units of the CH-53K heavy 
lift helicopter for the Marine Corps. The Committee notes that 
developmental test has been delayed and now extends through 
June 2016. The Committee also understands that a milestone C 
decision is scheduled for the fourth quarter of fiscal year 
2016. Therefore, the Committee believes that there is risk in 
the current schedule and it is premature to begin procurement 
of the CH-53K helicopter in fiscal year 2016 and recommends no 
funding for advance procurement.
    MQ-4 Triton Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.--The fiscal year 2016 
President's budget requests $494,259,000 for three low rate 
initial production [LRIP] Lot 1 aircraft. The President's 
budget request also includes $54,577,000 for advance 
procurement of three LRIP Lot 2 aircraft for production in 
fiscal year 2017. The Committee understands that Lots 1 and 2 
will include only basic intelligence capability and that 
multiple intelligence capability will be added beginning with 
Lot 3 in fiscal year 2018. As expressed in the report 
accompanying the Senate version of the fiscal year 2015 
Department of Defense Appropriations bill (Senate Report 113-
211), the Committee remains concerned with software development 
delays. In addition, the delivery of the system demonstration 
test article [SDTA] aircraft has slipped from the second half 
of fiscal year 2015 to the first half of fiscal year 2017. Due 
to the Navy's plan to meet the initial operational capability 
requirement with two SDTA aircraft and only two LRIP aircraft 
from Lot 1, the Committee recommends $391,759,000 for two 
aircraft in fiscal year 2016 and sufficient funding in advance 
procurement, in addition to the funding provided in fiscal year 
2015, to support the production of two aircraft in fiscal year 
2017.
    TH-57 Helicopter Trainers.--The Committee understands that 
the Navy rotary wing training fleet of TH-57B/C helicopters are 
equipped with obsolete avionics, increasingly costly to sustain 
and have little commonality with the rest of the rotary-wing 
fleet. Therefore, the Committee directs the Navy to submit a 
report to the congressional defense committees, not later than 
180 days after enactment of the act, on the near and long-term 
plan to sustain and replace the TH-57 fleet.

    Shipbuilding Cost Reports.--Cost reports provide the 
Government with actual program costs and are used to validate 
cost models, which lead to improved cost estimates for future 
systems. Therefore, access to timely and accurate cost data is 
vital to the budgeting process and results in more informed 
decisionmaking. Cost reports are especially important for 
shipbuilding programs, since ships generally take several years 
to design, construct and deliver.
    The Committee understands that the Department of Defense 
Director of Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation [CAPE] is 
not receiving cost reports for many shipbuilding programs from 
various shipyards and the Navy, particularly cost reports from 
major subcontractors and large dollar value government 
furnished equipment systems. The Committee directs the Director 
of CAPE to provide a list of delinquent and deficient cost 
reports to the Secretary of the Navy and the congressional 
defense committees not later than 60 days after the enactment 
of this act. Further, the Committee directs the Secretary of 
the Navy to work with the Director of CAPE and provide a plan 
to improve shipbuilding cost reporting to the congressional 
defense committees not later than 90 days after the enactment 
of this act. The plan should include a schedule with estimated 
dates for outstanding contractors and program offices to submit 
all cost report data due to CAPE and a status of establishing 
cost reporting plans for current deficient programs and 
contracts. Further, this plan should lay out the strategy for 
providing cost data to the Director of CAPE and the cost 
community in a timely manner.
    Shipbuilding Industrial Base and Workload Allocation.--As 
expressed in the report accompanying the Senate version of the 
fiscal year 2015 Department of Defense Appropriations Bill 
(Senate Report 113-211), the Committee remains concerned about 
the overall health of the shipbuilding industrial base and 
specifically about the health of the non-nuclear surface 
combatant shipbuilding industry. In compliance with Senate 
Report 113-211, the Navy submitted a report to Congress dated 
February 25, 2015, titled ``Shipbuilding Industrial Base and 
Workload Allocation''. The Committee was disappointed when this 
report failed to describe how the Navy intended to meet its 
remaining obligations under a 2002 workload allocation 
agreement that the Navy reaffirmed in 2009 and still considers 
``in full force and effect.'' While Congress is not a party to 
this agreement, the Committee finds it unacceptable that the 
Navy is unable ``to determine the extent to which its 
obligations relating to the workload allocation provision 
remain unfulfilled.'' The Committee also finds it troubling 
that the Navy communicated to Congress that it ``has not fully 
considered all of the options'' related to the agreement.
    Consistent with the intent of the agreement signed by the 
Navy, funding for an additional DDG-51 Arleigh Burke-class 
destroyer would preserve options for maintaining an efficient 
and stable non-nuclear shipbuilding industrial base. It would 
also mitigate unfulfilled combatant commander requirements for 
large surface combatants. In addition, according to section 117 
of S. 1376, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2016, as reported, the Secretary of the Navy is authorized 
to incrementally fund an additional DDG-51 Arleigh Burke-class 
destroyer. Therefore, the Committee recommends an increase of 
$1,000,000,000 in incremental funding for one Arleigh Burke-
class destroyer in addition to the ten DDG-51s in the fiscal 
year 2013-2017 multiyear procurement contract.
    Amphibious Warship Construction.--The Committee commends 
the Navy for including $550,000,000 in the fiscal year 2016 
budget request to build a 12th LPD-17 San Antonio-class 
amphibious ship. This additional ship will help reduce the 
level of risk being assumed with amphibious lift capability. As 
noted in previous Senate reports, the Navy and Marine Corps 
have agreed on a fiscally constrained minimum force of 33 ships 
to meet a 38 amphibious warship force requirement. This 
additional ship also provides continued stability and cost 
savings opportunities to the shipbuilding industrial base.
    The Committee was also pleased when the Secretary of the 
Navy, the Chief of Naval Operations, and the Commandant of the 
Marine Corps agreed to support the LSD amphibious warship 
replacement program, known as LX(R), with a derivative of the 
LPD-17 San Antonio-class hull form. As detailed in the report 
accompanying the Senate version of the fiscal year 2010 
Department of Defense Appropriations Bill (Senate Report 111-
74), the Committee supports the use of common hull forms as a 
way to control ship costs and maintain production schedules. 
The use of an existing or common hull form for the LX(R) 
program will improve the Navy's ability to deliver on a program 
that builds ships on time and on budget.
    While the Committee was pleased with the Navy's LX(R) hull 
form decision, it was disappointed the budget request contained 
no advance procurement funds for the program. The Committee 
believes the Navy's current LX(R) build plan does not take 
advantage of the efficiencies and subsequent cost avoidance 
inherent in maintaining an active industrial base for 
construction of vessels utilizing the LPD-17 hull form. As a 
result, the Committee does not support the Navy's current 
program of record construction start date of fiscal year 2020 
and believes the optimum construction start for LX(R) class 
vessels is as early as fiscal year 2018. Therefore, the 
Committee recommends $250,000,000 in advance procurement 
funding for investment in engineering design and planning, and 
long lead time equipment including propulsion, steering and 
electrical generating equipment, air conditioning plants, 
castings, and other items necessary to accelerate construction 
start of the first LX(R) vessel.
    Finally, consistent with S. 1376, the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016, as reported, the 
Committee recommends an additional $199,000,000 in advance 
procurement funding for the LHA amphibious assault warship 
replacement program. As noted in the report accompanying S. 
1376, these additional funds would expedite delivery of LHA 8 
enabling the Navy to reach the force structure assessment 
objective of 11 large deck amphibious ships as early as fiscal 
year 2023.
    Joint High Speed Vessel [JHSV].--The Department of the Navy 
is procuring JHSVs for fast intra-theater transportation of 
troops, military vehicles and equipment. Congress provided 
funds for an additional JHSV in the Department of Defense 
Appropriations Act, 2015 (Public Law 113-235) because the Navy 
assumed risk with the overall JHSV requirement when it reduced 
the program procurement objective from 18 to 10 ships with the 
fiscal year 2013 budget submission. Considering the ability of 
the JHSV to support all branches of the military services, 
provide intra-theater sealift, operate in littoral environments 
and austere port environments, and support humanitarian/
disaster relief activities, the Committee continues to support 
procuring additional JHSVs to address the original requirement. 
Further, the Committee continues to note that one JHSV 
continues to be used as an experimental test platform for Navy 
technology projects. Therefore, the Committee recommends 
$225,000,000 to procure one JHSV in fiscal year 2016.
    Cruiser and Dock Landing Ship Phased Modernization.--The 
Navy's fiscal year 2016 budget request does not fully fund a 
phased modernization plan for Cruiser and Dock Landing ships, 
in contravention to direction provided in the Carl Levin and 
Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291) and the Department of 
Defense Appropriations Act, 2015 (Public Law 113-235). 
Consistent with the report accompanying the Senate version of 
the fiscal year 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (Senate 
Report 114-49), as reported, the Committee believes the Navy 
should request full funding in fiscal year 2017 and throughout 
the future years defense program [FYDP] for the phased 
modernization program for cruisers and dock landing ships in 
the regular appropriations accounts. Consistent with Committee 
direction provided since fiscal year 2013, the Committee 
expects the Navy to fully program across the FYDP for all 
manpower, readiness, and modernization associated with its 
phased modernization plan.
    Intergovernmental Support for New Vessel Construction.--The 
Committee recognizes that the Navy has the most experienced 
Federal capacity and capability for managing new vessel 
construction and acquisition. Leveraging the successful 
construction of the Navy's Auxiliary General Oceanographic 
Research [AGOR] class vessel built for the Nation's academic 
research fleet, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric 
Administration [NOAA] has been coordinating with the Navy on 
the design and acquisition for NOAA's new series of Ocean 
Survey Vessels. While funding for NOAA vessels is provided in 
legislation making appropriations for the Departments of 
Commerce and Justice, for science-related programs, and related 
agencies, and not this act, the Committee directs the Navy to 
continue working with NOAA to support the interagency agreement 
for the Navy to acquire ships for NOAA, which was signed by the 
two agencies in May 2014.
    Polar-Class Icebreakers.--Senate Report 113-211, 
accompanying the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 
2015, noted the Committee's support for the interagency process 
to develop requirements for a new Polar-class icebreaker or 
similarly Arctic-capable surface vessel to recognize the 
strategic importance of Arctic operations to our Nation's 
future security and prosperity. Accordingly, Senate Report 113-
211 directed the Deputy Secretary of Defense, in cooperation 
with the Secretary of the Navy and the Commandant of the United 
States Coast Guard to provide the congressional defense 
committees a plan to begin expanding U.S. icebreaking capacity. 
The Committee looks forward to receiving the report and 
associated briefing in a timely manner.

    Littoral Combat Ship [LCS] Mission Modules.--The Committee 
continues to be concerned with the Navy's acquisition strategy 
for LCS mission modules. The Government Accountability Office 
has repeatedly noted that the Navy's strategy includes buying 
significant numbers of LCS mission modules before their 
performance is demonstrated and that the current inventory of 
mission packages exceeds the quantities necessary for 
operational testing. Additionally, the Director of Operational 
Test and Evaluation [DOT&E] noted in the latest DOT&E annual 
report that low operator proficiency, software immaturity, 
system integration issues and poor reliability of mine 
countermeasure components have continued to plague the program. 
Given these ongoing testing concerns, the Committee finds it 
prudent to slow the procurement of LCS mission modules and 
recommends a total reduction of $104,516,000 to the fiscal year 
2016 budget request for LCS mission modules and related 
components.

    The Committee recommends an appropriation of 
$1,239,618,000. This is $108,200,000 above the budget estimate.

                     COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED PROGRAM

    The following table summarizes the budget estimate for this 
appropriation, the Committee recommendation, and the Committee

    C-130 Beddown.--The Committee notes that the Air Force has 
not formally established a long term plan to augment the 
National Guard's fleet of C-130Hs with C-130Js. To accept new 
aircraft and to plan for modification of their existing C-130H 
fleet, the National Guard needs adequate time to prepare and 
budget for the future fleet mix. Therefore, the Committee 
directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a beddown 
plan that lays out, by location and fiscal year through the end 
of the C-130H's expected life, the future mix of the National 
Guard's C-130H and C-130J fleet not later than 180 days after 
enactment of this act.
    F-16 Avionics Upgrade.--The F-16 Fighting Falcon is 
currently the primary multi-mission fighter for the Air Force. 
As threats and tactics evolve and weapons and sensor 
technologies improve, the need to modernize F-16 avionics to 
take full advantage of these advances becomes undeniable. 
Therefore, the Committee encourages the Air Force to undertake 
strategic avionics upgrades to ensure the F-16, particularly 
the older blocks, remains capable of fulfilling its central 
role in the fleet and combat relevance.
    USAF UH-1N Replacement.--The fiscal year 2016 President's 
budget request includes $2,456,000 for the UH-1N replacement 
program. The Committee notes that there is no research and 
development funding for this program, and that the Air Force 
will proceed directly to procurement of non-developmental 
aircraft. The Committee is encouraged by this methodology as 
long as Joint Requirements Oversight Council validated 
requirements are met. The Committee believes this acquisition 
strategy may lower sustainment costs and affords expeditious 
procurement that will enable the Air Force to meet its 
objective of fielding replacement aircraft by 2017.
    C-130 Avionics Modernization Program.--The Secretary of the 
Air Force may proceed with and accelerate a C-130H modification 
program known as AMP Increment 1 to address safety and airspace 
compliance requirements, using funds provided in this bill and 
previous funds appropriated for the avionics modernization 
program of record. In addition, the Committee expects the Air 
Force to continue efforts for AMP Increment 2 modifications, 
using previously purchased components and leveraging research 
and development efforts to the maximum extent practical.
    Undefinitized Contract Actions (UCA).--In the report 
accompanying the Senate version of the Department of Defense 
Appropriations Act, 2015 (Senate Report 113-211), the Committee 
directed the Government Accountability Office [GAO] to review 
the use of UCAs within the Aircraft Procurement, Air Force 
account to determine how often this contracting option is being 
utilized and for what purpose. The GAO completed the review and 
highlighted several troubling trends. According to the 
findings, GAO found that the Air Force obligated 
$14,000,000,000 on UCAs from fiscal years 2010 through 2014 and 
the number of Air Force UCAs awarded has been relatively 
constant from fiscal year 2011 to 2014. Of the nine UCAs that 
the GAO reviewed, none were definitized within 180 days of 
contract award, as required in the Defense Federal Acquisition 
Regulation. Lastly, they found the Air Force has been using 
advance procurement funds to award undefinitized long-lead 
contracts, which the GAO found may be underreported in the 
Department's semiannual ``Undefinitized Contracts'' report to 
Congress. The GAO reported that the most common rational for 
definitization delays is insufficient pricing data and changing 
requirements. The Committee remains extremely concerned with 
the Air Force's common practice of using UCAs.
    The Committee is also concerned with the large amount of 
unobligated balances within the Aircraft Procurement, Air Force 
account. During the 2015 mid-year review, the Air Force had 
$1,200,000,000 of fiscal year 2013 funds unobligated with only 
6 months remaining before expiration, as well as $3,900,000,000 
of fiscal year 2014 funds unobligated. In a fiscally 
constrained environment, these practices need to change.
    The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to 
develop a policy requiring the Air Force Service Acquisition 
Executive to review and approve requirements changes when 
undefinitized contracting actions are utilized and provide a 
report to the congressional defense committees, not later than 
180 days after enactment of this act, on the implementation of 
such policy. In addition, the Committee is concerned that the 
``Undefinitized Contracts'' report to Congress does not 
encompass all of the UCAs being used by the Air Force. 
Therefore, the Committee directs the Air Force to modify the 
existing ``Undefinitized Contracts'' report, to include all 
current and future UCAs, the timeline to definitize each 
contract, and a plan on how to reduce the use of this 
contracting methodology on non-urgent requirements.

    Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missile [AMRAAM] 
Diminishing Manufacturing Sources/Material Shortages [DMSMS].--
The Committee remains concerned about increasing AMRAAM DMSMS 
costs. A fiscal year 2013 Department report required by the 
Committee estimated AMRAAM DMSMS costs at 12.8 percent of total 
program production costs from fiscal year 2008 through fiscal 
year 2015. Actual DMSMS costs in fiscal years 2014 and 2015 
were over 19 percent of total program costs, and are estimated 
to be over 17 percent in fiscal year 2016. For fiscal year 
2015, DMSMS expenses almost doubled, from an estimated 
$34,000,000 to $63,000,000. The Committee is aware that many 
factors contribute to DMSMS costs, and that the Air Force has 
an active plan to sustain AMRAAM inventory beyond 2030 at 
reasonable expense. The Committee urges the Air Force to 
continue to be proactive in this effort.

    Space Procurement.--The fiscal year 2016 budget requests a 
new 5-year appropriation account to fund space procurement 
programs. The Committee supports the creation of a new 
appropriation account and believes that all space-related 
procurement line items should be included. Therefore, the 
Committee recommendation transfers space-related items 
requested in Other Procurement, Air Force to the new Space 
Procurement, Air Force account. However, the Committee does not 
support the request for 5-year availability of funds and 
recommends retention of the standard 3-year time period for 
traditional procurement accounts.

Committee supports competition in the Evolved Expendable Launch 
Vehicle [EELV] program and appreciates the Air Force's efforts 
to find the proper balance between reducing launch costs and 
maintaining mission assurance as it transitions from a sole 
source to a competitive procurement environment. In an effort 
to further enhance competition, last year the Department of 
Defense Appropriations Act, 2015 added $125,000,000 to double 
the number of competitive launch opportunities in fiscal year 
2015 and required that the competition include at least two 
certified launch service providers. However, the Department of 
Defense and the Intelligence Community have notified the 
Committee that Section 1608 of the Carl Levin and Howard P. 
``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 
Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat. 3314) restricts the 
incumbent launch provider's use of the RD-180 engine on its 
most competitive launch vehicle, nullifying the intent of the 
Committee's $125,000,000 add for a launch vehicle competition. 
Additionally, the Department has informed the Committee that 
Section 1608 would limit the availability of RD-180 engines for 
future competitions to five, which may create a multi-year gap 
where the Department has neither assured access to space nor an 
environment where price-based competition is possible. 
Therefore, the Committee recommends a rescission of 
$125,000,000 from fiscal year 2015 funds due to the statutory 
impediment to competition. The Committee does not recommend a 
reduction of competitive launch opportunities in fiscal year 
2016, because true competition may still be possible in fiscal 
year 2016 if Congress implements the Department's recommended 
modification to Section 1608. The Committee believes that this 
modification would enable a responsible transition away from 
the RD-180 as soon as possible while maintaining the goal of 
reducing launch costs through true competition. To ensure 
expeditious development of an alternative engine, the Committee 
recommendation also includes an increase of $143,600,000 in 
Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force for 
rocket engine development.
    Defense Meteorological Satellite Program.--The budget 
request includes $89,351,000 for the Defense Meteorological 
Satellite Program [DMSP]. Last year, the Department of Defense 
Appropriation Act, 2015 outlined concerns about the excessive 
cost of launching this satellite and restricted $50,000,000 of 
funding for the program, unless the Secretary of the Air Force 
could certify that the satellite would be launched by the end 
of calendar year 2016. The Air Force has notified Congress that 
it will not be able to launch DMSP-20 by 2016, but proposes 
launching the satellite in fiscal year 2018 or 2019 at a cost 
of between $410,000,000 to $455,000,000, in addition to 
approximately $500,000,000 already spent on the satellite. The 
Committee questions the Air Force's decision to incur these 
additional costs to launch a satellite with 1990s technology 
that the Air Force has previously stated no longer meets its 
requirements. The Committee believes that such funds would be 
better spent on developing new technologies and enhancing the 
capabilities of the next generation of weather satellites. 
Therefore, the Committee recommends no funding for the DMSP 
program in fiscal year 2016. The Committee also recommends a 
rescission of the $50,000,000 of fiscal year 2015 funds. The 
Committee expects the Air Force to bring the program to an 
orderly close with the remaining fiscal year 2015 funds.
    Commercial Satellite Communications.--The Committee 
supports efforts by the Air Force to use pathfinder 
demonstrations to investigate non-traditional approaches for 
acquiring commercial satellite communications [SATCOM] 
capabilities. These efforts help the Air Force gain experience 
with different business models to enable innovative and 
affordable procurement of long-term commercial SATCOM and may 
obviate the need for future procurement of costly, military 
specific SATCOM satellites. The Committee encourages the Air 
Force to pursue additional pathfinder demonstrations to achieve 
savings and take advantage of improved technology and 
performance offered by commercial SATCOM providers.

    Energy Efficient Military Billeting.--The Committee 
continues to support efforts by the Department of Defense to 
leverage technology and deliver energy efficient returns on 
investments, such as thermal technologies in battlefield 
housing. Such technologies will realize cost savings by 
reducing the military's battlefield fuel footprint while also 
making current billeting structures more energy efficient.

    Improved Turbine Engine Program [ITEP].--The fiscal year 
2016 budget request includes $51,164,000 for the Improved 
Turbine Engine Program [ITEP]. The Committee notes that 
contrary to previous budgets, the Army now plans to retain no 
less than two engine developers through milestone B to ensure 
competition in the program. The Committee believes that 
providing adequate and stable funding for ITEP sufficient to 
carry at least two engine developers is important to reduce 
risk, achieve appropriate technology maturity, and set the 
conditions for ultimate program success.
    Patriot Modernization.--In February 2015, the Army 
initiated an analysis of alternatives [AoA] to determine the 
most cost effective strategy to upgrade or replace the current 
Patriot radar within the integrated air and missile defense 
architecture. The results of this AoA will directly affect the 
cost assessment of the Army's overall Patriot modernization 
strategy. The Committee finds it prudent to await the results 
of this AoA, which will be completed in September 2015, before 
continuing to invest significant funding to improve the current 
radar system.
    Therefore, the Committee recommends deferring radar 
upgrades that could become obsolete in the near-term, and 
recommends funding only for urgent near-term improvements in 
fiscal year 2016, a reduction of $77,616,000 to the budget 
request.
    Material Development, Characterization, and Computational 
Modeling.--The Committee recognizes the importance of 
evaluating materials and technologies, as well as designing and 
developing methodologies and models to enable enhanced 
lethality and survivability. Methods such as computational 
research allow for the development of models that predict the 
mechanical properties of materials that are used in research 
and development at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory [ARL]. 
These models and simulations, which are based on quantum 
mechanics, statistical mechanics principles and thermodynamic 
simulations, and are tested via cold spray synthesis and 
mechanical testing, provide a cost savings to the Department of 
Defense by simulating materials prior to testing them to ensure 
mechanical properties will work together. Additionally, these 
methodologies allow for the enhanced development of 
technologies such as lightweight armors, protective structures, 
kinetic energy active protection, ballistic shock and mine 
blast protection, helmet technologies to prevent traumatic 
brain injury and numerous other uses. The Committee encourages 
ARL to continue the utilization of computational modeling and 
simulations research to achieve greater cost savings.
    Strategic Materials Research.--The Committee continues to 
recognize the importance of the Army Research Laboratory [ARL] 
in expanding research, education and technology development 
efforts in materials and metals processing science and 
engineering, aiming to transform the affordability, performance 
and environmental sustainability of strategic materials. The 
Committee further notes that ARL's Open Campus concept benefits 
the Army, the academic community and industry through 
collaboration involving ARL's research staff and facilities, 
leading to continued technological superiority for the U.S. 
warfighter. The Committee encourages the Army to consider 
accelerating expansion of its recently initiated Open Campus 
approach to its Materials and Manufacturing Science 
laboratories to benefit strategic materials research.
    Optimization of Ammunition Manufacturing.--The Committee 
understands that the Army is the single manager for 
conventional ammunition for the Department of Defense and is 
responsible for ensuring effective life cycle management of 
conventional ammunition products. This includes development and 
optimization of ammunition manufacturing processes as well as 
development and integration of new materials. The Committee 
believes that the manufacturing of conventional ammunition 
could be assisted by automating and optimizing propellant 
production processes and integrating new materials. These 
processes and materials may reduce cost, increase ammunition 
performance and enhance soldier safety. The Committee 
encourages the Secretary of the Army to equip the national 
technical industrial base with new and emerging manufacturing 
processes and materials in order to achieve these goals.
    Small Airborne Networking Radio.--The Committee is 
encouraged to see funding in the fiscal year 2016 budget to 
begin activities in support of the Small Airborne Networking 
Radio [SANR], which will provide simultaneous voice, data and 
video communications to all Army tactical aircraft. Given the 
long lead time to integrate radios into airborne platforms, the 
Committee is concerned by the timeline to deliver both SANR and 
the Small Airborne Link 16 Terminal [SALT] capabilities. A 
delay in procurement of next generation radios will require the 
Army's airborne platforms to rely on legacy radios that provide 
primarily voice connectivity. The Committee encourages the Army 
to continue development and procurement of SANR and SALT in 
order to fully leverage ground and airborne networks for 
increased situational awareness and connectivity.
    Simulation Training.--The Committee acknowledges that 
simulation training is a cost-effective means by which military 
units can improve tactical decision-making skills and readiness 
in realistic scenarios otherwise found only in theater combat 
operations. The Committee encourages the Department to continue 
expansion of simulation training and seek the appropriate 
combination of government owned and operated simulators as well 
as contractor support in order to maximize efficiency and 
effectiveness.

    Navy Budget Justification Materials.--The Committee notes 
the marked improvements to the Navy's congressional budget 
justification documents, as requested in Senate Report 113-211, 
and looks forward to the Navy continuing its emphasis to 
provide greater level of detail and clarity in future 
submissions. In addition to examining the budget justification 
documents submitted in accordance with the Financial Management 
Regulations, the Committee during its budget review relies 
heavily on supplemental briefing materials and information. The 
Committee finds the quality of these supplemental briefing 
materials to be inconsistent among program offices, often 
omitting basic information required for program reviews, or 
failing to amplify information provided in the congressional 
budget justification documents. In addition, the Committee 
finds the response time for additionally requested information 
excessive, allowing insufficient time for further review. 
Therefore, the Committee urges the Secretary of the Navy to 
work with the congressional defense committees to improve the 
timeliness and quality of information provided in support of 
future budget submissions.
    Virginia Payload Module [VPM].--The fiscal year 2016 budget 
request includes $167,719,000 to continue development of the 
Virginia Payload Module in support of production beginning in 
fiscal year 2019. According to the Navy, the VPM concept was 
proposed to compensate for the decline in strike capacity 
precipitated by the planned retirement of converted Ohio class 
guided missile submarines scheduled in the mid- to late- 2020s. 
The Committee recommends full funding of the Navy's request; 
however, the Committee remains concerned with the program's 
stability, cost and schedule pressures. Therefore, the 
Committee amends the reporting requirement previously included 
in Division C of the Joint Explanatory Statement accompanying 
the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 (Public Law 113-76), 
to a quarterly submission, and directs the Secretary of Navy to 
include in this quarterly report planned and actual performance 
of program metrics identified in the March 2015 report provided 
to the congressional defense committees.
    In addition, the fiscal year 2016 budget request includes 
$12,900,000 in program element 0603502N and $3,800,000 in 
program element 0603561N for the development and evaluation of 
non-strike payloads for possible insertion into VPM. The 
Committee finds this inconsistent with the VPM concept as 
proposed, and is concerned with the technical risk this adds to 
delivering the VPM on cost and schedule. Therefore, the 
Committee recommends no funding for these specific efforts.
    Directed Energy.--The fiscal year 2016 budget request 
includes $67,360,000 for a sea-based demonstration of an 
electromagnetic railgun on board a Joint High Speed Vessel in 
fiscal year 2016 and to purchase materials for a second, more 
complex sea-based demonstration in fiscal year 2019. The 
Committee continues its strong support for an electromagnetic 
railgun program, but remains concerned with the Navy's 
acquisition approach to this developmental program that has 
limited competition for major components more than 5 years 
before the program is scheduled to enter the formal Department 
of Defense acquisition process. The Committee notes that the 
proposed complex fiscal year 2019 sea-based demonstration 
continues to drive the Navy towards a single material solution. 
The Committee does not agree with this acquisition approach and 
recommends no funds for the fiscal year 2019 sea-based 
demonstration.
    E2-D Advanced Hawkeye.--The fiscal year 2016 budget request 
includes $272,149,000 for continued modernization of the E2-D 
Advanced Hawkeye airborne early warning aircraft, an increase 
of $95,449,000 over amounts appropriated in fiscal year 2015. 
The Committee notes that the budget request includes funds for 
the development of three distinct software configurations in 
fiscal year 2016, each consisting of multiple efforts. The 
Committee further notes that the most costly effort within in 
these software configuration upgrades is for the development of 
an aerial refueling capability. The E2-D Hawkeye will enter 
full rate production in fiscal year 2016, and received 
congressional authority to enter into a multi-year procurement 
contract in fiscal year 2014, which requires stable program 
requirements and configurations. Developing, testing and 
integrating an aerial refueling capability adds technical risk 
to the program, and will likely result in significant 
additional costs to modernization efforts.
    The Committee believes that executing the development of an 
aerial refueling capability in concert with a multitude of 
other, lower priority upgrades is technically and fiscally 
risky, and recommends that the Navy limit its fiscal year 2016 
efforts to high priority upgrades only, specifically the 
development of aerial refueling and counter electronic attack 
capabilities. Therefore, the Committee does not recommend 
funding for fiscal year 2016 new start efforts to be fielded 
concurrently with an aerial refueling capability in software 
configuration 4, a reduction of $26,100,000 from the request, 
and recommends that funds appropriated for software 
configuration 5 be invested towards counter electronic attack 
only, a reduction of $30,900,000 from the request. The 
Committee recommends full funding of the Navy's aerial 
refueling capability, and recommends an additional $10,000,000 
only for radar development to overcome limitations of existing 
capabilities.
    Further, the Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of 
the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition to submit 
with the fiscal year 2017 budget submission cost estimates for 
each planned E2-D Hawkeye Delta System/Software Configuration 
Build that delineate the content of each configuration, as well 
as total development, test and integration costs by effort 
within each configuration. In addition, the Assistant Secretary 
of the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition is 
directed to identify any unfunded requirements for improved 
airborne surveillance and battle management command control 
systems to protect against sophisticated adversaries with anti-
ship cruise and ballistic missiles.
    Next Generation Jammer [NGJ] Increment II.--The fiscal year 
2016 budget request includes $13,000,000 to initiate Increment 
II of the Next Generation Jammer. The Committee recommends 
fully funding this request and establishing a separate budget 
line to increase program visibility and accountability. The 
Committee directs the Navy to follow this structure in future 
budget submissions.
    Unmanned Carrier-Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike 
[UCLASS] System.--The fiscal year 2016 request includes 
$134,708,000 for the UCLASS program to continue development of 
the shipboard integration and command and control system 
segments as previously scheduled. The Committee notes that the 
request includes $20,100,000 for source selection activities of 
the air segment to support an air vehicle development contract 
award in fiscal year 2017, but no funding to continue 
technology risk reduction activities for the air vehicle in 
fiscal year 2016 in support of that contract award.
    With submission of the fiscal year 2016 request, the Navy 
announced a delay to the UCLASS program pending completion of a 
Department of Defense-led strategic portfolio review that is 
intended to inform the fiscal year 2017 budget request. This 
proposal will result in an additional 1\1/2\ year delay in the 
establishment of an early operational UCLASS capability. 
According to senior Navy leadership, this delay risks the Navy 
``losing ground'' in developing unmanned aviation from an 
aircraft carrier. Further, the Committee questions the strategy 
of dissolving industry teams under contract for competitive air 
vehicle risk reduction activities prior to awarding a 
technology development contract. Therefore, the Committee 
recommends $300,000,000 only for continued competitive air 
vehicle risk reduction activities. In addition, the Committee 
recommends $50,000,000 for Government and industry preparation 
of source selection and development contract award activities.
    As previously stated in Senate Report 113-211, the 
Committee believes that stable requirements are critical to 
ensuring program success, and restates its direction to the 
Secretary of the Navy to obtain Joint Requirements Oversight 
Council approval of the UCLASS capability development document 
[CDD] prior to issuing the final Request for Proposals for the 
air segment.
    Multi-mission Aircraft Increment III.--The fiscal year 2016 
budget request includes $104,116,000 for Increment III of the 
P-8 Multi-mission Aircraft. The Committee recommends fully 
funding this request and establishing a separate budget line to 
increase program visibility and accountability. The Committee 
directs the Navy to follow this structure in future budget 
submissions.
    Small Business Strategies.--The Committee notes that the 
Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development and 
Acquisition [ASN (RD&A)] in January 2015 directed Program 
Executive Offices and Heads of Contract Activities to formulate 
small business strategies that incorporate and promote small 
business participation across contracts under their purview. 
The Committee further notes that ASN (RD&A) directed the Small 
Business Innovation Research/Small Business Technology Transfer 
[SBIR/STTR] program to focus on improving program transitions 
to yield a greater return on investment from Navy research and 
development funds. The Committee believes that a robust small 
business industrial base is essential to maintaining a 
technological edge over potential adversaries and therefore 
directs ASN (RD&A) to provide, with the fiscal year 2017 budget 
submission, an update on the implementation of measures taken 
to promote small business participation in Navy acquisition.
    Readiness of Aging Air Vehicle Fleet.--The Committee is 
concerned about the critical funding and maintenance challenges 
the Navy faces in maintaining the readiness of its air vehicle 
fleet and extending the useful life of aging aircraft. The 
Committee recognizes the valuable role university affiliated 
research institutions offer to the Department of Defense to 
address these challenges with the ability to respond rapidly to 
new technology requirements and address shortages of qualified 
scientists and engineers caused by employee turnover within 
Department of Defense organizations. The Committee recommends 
an additional $30,000,000 for basic university research, and 
encourages the Navy to support academic institutions with 
strong capabilities in aviation and aerospace structures and 
materials testing and evaluation to enhance readiness of Navy 
and Department of Defense air vehicle fleets.
    Cyber Security and Cloud Computing.--The Committee 
recognizes progress being made in developing new and practical 
approaches for cyber security and secure cloud computing to 
protect critical cyber systems and reduce loss of classified 
information to potential adversaries. The Committee understands 
that encryption technologies contribute towards these goals. 
Therefore, the Committee encourages the Navy and Marine Corps 
to continue research into encryption technologies and to focus 
on implementation, integration and software tooling support.
    Navy Alternative Energy Research.--As in previous years, 
the Committee recommends an increase for Navy alternative 
energy research. The Committee notes the fiscal and operational 
value of investing in alternative energy research, and 
encourages the Navy to expand ocean renewable energy testing, 
research, develop and deploy maritime security systems, support 
at-sea surveillance and communications systems and explore 
opportunities to reduce the cost of energy and increase energy 
security at coastal Department of Defense facilities. Further, 
the Committee encourages the Navy to invest in renewable energy 
demonstration activities relating to Department of Defense 
facilities and activities in coordination with other Federal 
agencies and entities.
    Power Generation and Storage Research.--The Committee notes 
the importance of lithium-ion batteries to the Department of 
Defense and is concerned with safety incidents that limit their 
operational fielding. Therefore, the Committee believes that 
the development and qualification of technologies to reduce the 
risk of thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries should be 
prioritized within energy storage research.
    Smart Sensing Technology.--The Committee recognizes the 
need to continue improving intrusion detection and security 
screening capabilities by leveraging advanced and reliable non-
intrusive technologies. The Committee notes advancements in the 
area of nanotechnology that offer the potential use in 
developing sensors to detect biohazards, explosives, 
propellants and other threats. Therefore, the Committee 
encourages the Navy to invest in advanced anti-intrusion 
detection technologies.
    U.S. Marine Corps Asset Lifecycle Management.--The 
Committee understands the U.S. Marine Corps is reducing costs 
associated with routine vehicle maintenance through research 
and development in vehicle remanufacturing and monitoring. The 
Committee encourages the Office of Naval Research to continue 
its investment in these areas.
    Interdisciplinary Expeditionary Cyber Research.--The 
Committee notes the significant investment by the Department of 
Defense in basic cyber research in recent years. However, the 
Committee is concerned that this research does not consider the 
inter-disciplinary nature of cyber systems and focuses on the 
strategic level while excluding the consideration of the role 
of human behavior. The Committee encourages the Office of Naval 
Research to develop a multi-disciplinary science and technology 
strategy addressing dynamic cyber defense and tactical 
cyberspace operations. Further, the Committee encourages the 
Navy to examine prototyping and developing technology 
capabilities for expeditionary cyberspace operations.
    Underwater Energetics Research.--The Committee recommends 
an additional $10,000,000 for the Office of Naval Research to 
support development of advanced warhead and explosives concepts 
for undersea warfare, and an assessment of global developments 
in energetic materials.
    Arctic Center of Excellence.--The Committee notes that the 
United States has a vested interest in the security and 
stability of the Arctic region. The Committee believes that 
with the Arctic becoming increasingly accessible and more 
broadly transited in the coming decades by both Arctic and non-
Arctic nations, it is imperative that the United States be 
prepared to operate in the Arctic Region when needed. The 
Committee is pleased that the Department of Defense is 
enhancing its focus on the Arctic region by releasing its 
Arctic Strategy in November 2013 and that the Department of the 
Navy released its updated Arctic Roadmap in February 2014. The 
Committee believes it is important for the Department to 
continue to invest in training exercises, partnerships, 
infrastructure, and capabilities necessary to meet strategic 
objectives in the Arctic region and to support potential 
operations. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense, 
and the Department of the Navy in particular, to continue 
research efforts to develop security capabilities and 
strategies for the Arctic region.
    The Committee notes that the Navy's Arctic Roadmap includes 
a plan to identify the requirements for an Arctic Center of 
Excellence in fiscal year 2015. The Committee directs the Navy 
to complete identification of these requirements and to report 
to the Committee on these requirements and the Navy's plans not 
later than December 31, 2015. The Committee encourages the Navy 
to coordinate with other Government agencies, academic 
institutions, and existing polar research efforts that can 
provide support and promote United States security interests.
    Monitoring of Sea Ice in the Arctic Basin.--The Committee 
notes that as an Arctic nation extending through the State of 
Alaska, United States national security interests extend into 
the entire Arctic region. The Committee encourages the 
Department of Defense, working with the Office of Naval 
Research and its academic partners, to expand its understanding 
of the Arctic region's physical environment. The Committee 
recognizes that such data could be key to the development of 
strategies for national security, natural resource protection 
and efficient commerce in the Arctic region.
    Predictive Analytics.--The Committee notes that equipment 
failures and performance degradation on naval platforms drive 
unplanned downtime, reduce operational availability and 
increase the cost of maintenance. The Committee understands 
there are available proven commercial tools that leverage 
equipment sensor data and similarity-based modeling to remotely 
predict and diagnose mechanical issues well ahead of time, 
allowing equipment failure to be prevented through planned 
maintenance activities. The Committee encourages the Department 
of the Navy to seek opportunities to conduct field trials of 
these commercially available remote monitoring and diagnostic 
systems to determine if they can help increase readiness and 
reduce maintenance costs.
    Land-based Power Generation Test Bed.--The Committee notes 
that the Navy is developing advanced ship electric power 
systems to support high power weapons and sensors, and to 
improve ship energy efficiency. An important element for the 
operation of high power weapons and sensors is the energy 
magazine concept that would integrate and expand ship power 
distribution circuits, power conversion, and energy storage. 
The Committee believes a cost-effective approach to maturing 
power generation technology is the development of a land-based 
representative integrated ship power system to include power 
generation, energy storage, power distribution, and power 
loads, upon which high power weapons and sensors could be 
tested. The Committee encourages the Secretary of the Navy to 
perform a cost-benefit analysis to determine the total cost 
savings of such a land-based power generation test bed.
    Free Space Optical Communication Technology Demonstrator.--
The Committee understands there is a potential need for new and 
emerging compact and affordable Free Space Optical 
Communication [FSOC] technologies for tactical high bandwidth 
line-of sight data link needs in multiple environments. The 
Committee encourages the Secretary of the Navy to asses FSOC 
technology for use by the Marine Corps that has been 
demonstrated on multiple DOD applications, can be implemented 
from ground, air or sea-borne platforms, and is completely eye-
safe.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Adaptive Engine Transition Program.--The Committee supports 
the continued emphasis on research and development in the next 
generation of turbine engine technology. The Committee notes 
that there are potential applications of this technology to 
both legacy and future combat aircraft. The Committee 
encourages the Air Force to continue investing in these 
critical technologies and supporting multiple industry partners 
to ensure competition during the next phase of development.
    Air Force Alternative Energy.--The Committee is encouraged 
by the Air Force's energy conservation and efficiency 
initiatives as well as its investment into promising renewable 
energy. The Committee urges the Air Force to continue its 
critical research in this field and encourages the Assistant 
Secretary of the Air Force for Installations, Environment and 
Energy to develop a strategy to bridge the gap between 
investment in energy research and development, and the 
demonstration and use of that technology to meet Air Force 
enterprise requirements.
    Long Range Stand-Off Weapon.--The Committee supports the 
Air Force's program to develop a follow-on capability to the 
Air Launched Cruise Missile to penetrate advanced integrated 
air defense systems from significant stand-off range. The 
Committee is pleased that the Air Force accelerated the 
program's milestone A decision in the President's budget 
request from the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 to the 
first quarter of fiscal year 2016. The Committee provides 
$14,100,000 in fiscal year 2016, an increase of $10,662,000 
over the fiscal year 2015 enacted level, and encourages the Air 
Force to maintain the funding profile of $1,747,300,000 from 
fiscal years 2017 through 2020, given the strategic importance 
of the program.
    Ground Based Strategic Deterrent Acquisition.--The 
Committee recognizes that the Air Force is currently exploring 
options to acquire a replacement for the Minuteman III system, 
the Ground Based Strategic Deterrent [GBSD]. The Committee 
believes the use of full and open competition provides the best 
opportunity for the Department of Defense to benefit from 
innovation, improved contractor performance, and reduced costs. 
Not later than 90 days after enactment of this act, the 
Secretary of the Air Force shall provide the congressional 
defense committees the GBSD acquisition strategy to include a 
detailed description of Air Force's plans to use competitive 
awards throughout the acquisition process.
    Combat Rescue Helicopter.--The Committee is pleased that 
the fiscal year 2016 budget request includes funding for the 
combat rescue helicopter throughout the future years defense 
plan, consistent with the service cost position. However, the 
Committee is concerned with the timing and number of system 
demonstration test article [SDTA] aircraft in the fiscal year 
2016 budget request. The Committee encourages the Air Force to 
reconsider the timing and number of the research and 
development-funded aircraft to ensure the most efficient use of 
resources to support the program test schedule and the 
industrial base until low rate initial procurement begins.
    Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System 
[JSTARS].--The Committee supports the fiscal year 2016 budget 
request of $44,343,000 for JSTARS recapitalization and is 
pleased with the recent approval of the Materiel Development 
Decision to enable the Air Force to begin technology 
development and award technology maturation contracts. However, 
the Committee remains concerned with the duration of the design 
and development phase of the program and the delay of initial 
operational capability until 2023. As delineated in the report 
accompanying the Senate version of the Department of Defense 
Appropriations Act, 2015 (Senate Report 113-211), the Committee 
continues to view the program as primarily an integration 
effort that will utilize mature, affordable, and existing 
components on a commercially available aircraft. Last year, the 
Committee directed the Secretary of the Air Force to reassess 
the acquisition strategy to shorten the development phase. The 
Committee encourages the Air Force to work with industry 
partners and apply the tenets of Better Buying Power 3.0 to 
reduce the duration and cost of the design and development 
phase and reflect the revised schedules and funding levels in 
the fiscal year 2017 budget request.
    Given the time required to develop and procure the new 
aircraft, the Committee understands that the Air Force plans to 
extend the service life of the current E-8 JSTARS fleet until 
the middle of the next decade. The Committee directs the 
Secretary of the Air Force to submit a plan to the 
congressional defense committees, to accompany submission of 
the fiscal year 2017 budget, that outlines how industrial and 
logistics degradation of the E-8 fleet will be avoided as well 
as upgrades to the fleet to ensure the platform will continue 
to meet warfighter needs for combat operations. The plan should 
include schedules and annual funding requirements.
    High Speed Test Track.--The Committee supports the Air 
Force's efforts to modernize its high speed testing system in 
order to meet aerodynamic testing requirements for new missile 
systems. The Committee understands that a high speed test track 
that can accommodate speeds up to Mach 4 would enable the Air 
Force to carry out needed tests for advanced weapons systems at 
lower costs and with decreased vibration compared to legacy 
test tracks. The Committee encourages the Air Force to complete 
an analysis of alternatives of the design, build, and cost of a 
modern high speed test track.
    B-2 Ejection Seats.--The Committee understands that the Air 
Force is currently conducting market research to develop an 
acquisition strategy for a B-2 ejection system qualification 
program. The Committee encourages the Air Force to proceed with 
a full and open competition for the development, qualification, 
and acquisition of the ejection seat upgrade.
    F-16 Radar Upgrades.--The Committee is concerned about the 
long-term health of the active electronically scanned array 
radar industrial base. The Committee believes that competition 
among multiple suppliers is important to reduce costs and 
improve performance. Therefore, the Committee directs the 
Secretary of the Air Force to submit a report to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than 90 days after 
enactment of this act, on how the Air Force will address phase 
two of North American Aerospace Defense Command/U.S. Northern 
Command Joint Urgent Operational Needs [JUON] NC-0008 to 
include an acquisition strategy on all aspects of the solution 
set. The report should address the Air Force's radar 
modernization plan for the entire F-16 fleet.
    U-2.--The fiscal year 2016 budget request supports the 
continued operation of the U-2 fleet as well as prudent actions 
to retire the fleet beginning in fiscal year 2019. The fiscal 
year 2016 budget request includes $34,471,000 in Research, 
Development, Test and Evaluation [RDT&E], Air Force for further 
development of the ASARS-2B radar. The Committee is concerned 
that the Air Force is committing resources to improve a radar 
that it does not intend to use on the U-2 aircraft prior to 
retirement. Therefore, none of the fiscal year 2016 RDT&E 
funding may be obligated until the Secretary of the Air Force 
provides a report to congressional defense committees 
justifying the use of funds, validating the requirement, and a 
plan to develop, acquire, and field the modernized radar.
    Long-Range, Multi-Day Endurance ISR Capability.--The 
Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2015 (Public Law 113-
235) provided $20,000,000 to support development of a 
capability in response to the U.S. Africa Command joint 
emerging operational need statement [USAFRICOM JEON] AF-0005. 
The Committee notes that the Air Force has completed four 
phases of test article flights to demonstrate a capability in 
response to USAFRICOM JEON AF-0005, including an 80 hour, long 
endurance flight demonstration in December 2014. The Committee 
recommendation includes $5,000,000, to be combined with 
previously appropriated but not yet obligated funds, for test 
articles necessary to reduce airworthiness risk, improve 
interoperability, and characterize the flight envelope to 
validate a low-cost and effective solution for persistent 
aerial surveillance. Additionally, the Committee directs the 
Joint Staff to submit a plan to the congressional defense 
committees, not later than 90 days after enactment of this act, 
on the Department's current plan to address USAFRICOM JEON AF-
0005.

                             SPACE PROGRAMS

    Rocket Engine Development.--The budget request for fiscal 
year 2016 includes $84,438,000 for Evolved Expendable Launch 
Vehicle next generation rocket engine development. The 
Committee continues to view the effort to develop and field an 
advanced U.S. rocket booster engine as a national security 
imperative and believes planned Air Force investments for 
fiscal year 2016 are insufficient to meet the need for a new 
engine in 2019. Therefore, the Committee recommends an 
additional $143,600,000 for the Air Force to implement a full 
scale engine development program that meets Evolved Expendable 
Launch Vehicle program requirements for national security 
payload launches. Given the importance of this issue, the Air 
Force should move expeditiously to spend appropriated funding 
for this effort.
    Advanced Extremely High Frequency Protected Tactical 
Waveform.--The Committee supports the Air Force's development 
of a new Advanced Extremely High Frequency [AEHF] Protected 
Tactical Waveform [PTW] which offers the ability to provide 
tactical anti-jam communication utilizing existing space and 
user terminal assets. The 2016 budget request includes funding 
for the development of new terminal modems, but the Committee 
is concerned that the mission management system and PTW ground 
station hub electronics and software are not being co-
developed, which could lead to a multi-year delay in the 
fielding of the system and the potential for non-optimal system 
design. Therefore, the Committee recommends an additional 
$25,000,000 for the AEHF Protected Tactical Waveform mission 
management system and ground station hub electronics and 
software development to enable protected communications 
utilizing existing military and commercial space assets.
    Global Positioning System III Operational Control 
Segment.--The budget request for fiscal year 2016 includes 
$350,232,000 for the GPS III Operational Control Segment [OCX]. 
This ground system promises to provide improved accuracy, 
security, and anti-jamming protection and allow the new GPS III 
satellites to be integrated into the legacy GPS constellation. 
Development of the system is so delayed, however, that it will 
not be available until approximately 4 years after the Air 
Force begins launching GPS III satellites in fiscal year 2016. 
This has prompted the Air Force to investigate buying a 
temporary ground capability to ensure that the first GPS 
satellite can be integrated into the existing constellation. 
The Committee notes that such a temporary fix would not enable 
implementation of the technology improvements promised with 
OCX, including the improved anti-jamming capability of M-code. 
In light of these problems and delays, the Committee questions 
the Air Force's plan to accelerate the launches of several GPS 
III satellites, reversing a decision in the 2015 budget 
request. Therefore, the Committee directs the Cost Assessment 
and Program Evaluation [CAPE] and Joint Requirements Oversight 
Council [JROC] to review the cost of and validate the 
requirements for accelerating GPS III launches ahead of the 
plan laid out in the fiscal year 2015 budget submission.
    Global Positioning System III.--The Committee supports the 
decision of the Air Force to compete future GPS space vehicles 
after SV-10 to make the program more affordable while 
sustaining and enhancing GPS capabilities. The Committee 
believes that more advanced technologies, such as a modern 
digital payload, will alleviate production problems while 
providing enhanced mission capability and affordability. 
Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force 
to allocate $80,000,000 of the GPS III Space Modernization 
Imitative budget toward technology maturation efforts for a 
digital navigation payload and satellite vehicle development 
for the GPS III SV11+ production competition.
    Daytime Space Situational Awareness.--The Committee 
recognizes the criticality of Space Situational Awareness [SSA] 
and is concerned about long-duration gaps in actionable 
satellite data during daytime hours. Therefore, the Committee 
encourages the Air Force to invest in ground-based optical/
infrared capabilities to address daytime gaps in SSA.

    Multi-Azimuth Defense Fast Intercept Round Engagement 
System [MAD-FIRES].--The Committee is aware of a number of 
Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency [DARPA] development 
projects that are designed to provide in-flight guidance to 
small and medium caliber munitions. These projects, such as the 
Extreme Accuracy Tasked Ordnance [EXACTO] and MAD-FIRES, have 
the potential to increase direct fire accuracy and lethality 
while reducing associated logistical support costs. The 
Committee encourages the military services to leverage this 
maturing technology in weapon programs designed to counter 
multiple target sets and platforms with limited ammunition 
carrying capacity.
    Anti-Submarine Warfare Continuous Trail Unmanned Vessel.--
The fiscal year 2016 President's budget request contains 
funding for the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency 
[DARPA] to continue work on the Anti-Submarine Warfare [ASW] 
Continuous-Trail Unmanned Vessel [ACTUV]. The Committee is 
aware of and encouraged by recent at-sea tests demonstrating 
the success of the autonomous command and control software 
aboard a surrogate test vessel. The Committee encourages the 
Director of DARPA and the Secretary of the Navy to complete 
additional testing of the autonomy design to ensure the 
successful transition of this demonstrated program.
    Microelectronics Technology Development and Support.--The 
Committee is concerned about maintaining supply chain assurance 
against counterfeit microelectronic parts. Therefore, the 
Committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to provide 
quarterly updates to the Committee on its efforts to maintain a 
robust Trusted Foundry capacity in the United States.
    Polyurethane Protective Tape on Aircraft.--In order to 
minimize rotary and fixed wing aircraft sustainment costs and 
enhance platform availability, the Department of Defense is 
encouraged to use polyurethane protective tapes on composite 
and aluminum exterior surfaces susceptible to erosion from the 
high speed impact of rain, sand or dust. This includes 
applications on both existing aircraft and new platform designs 
as appropriate.
    Lithium-ion Battery Safety.--The Committee is aware of the 
need to increase research and development on materials aimed at 
improving lithium-ion battery safety and performance. The 
development of new, non-flammable electrolytes could lead to 
the development of lithium-ion batteries that are safer and 
more energy efficient. Accordingly, the Department of Defense 
is encouraged to develop lithium-ion battery technologies that 
protect soldiers and improve mission performance.
    Small Business Research Initiatives.--The Committee 
recognizes the importance of the Small Business Innovation 
Research [SBIR] program and its success in commercialization 
from federally funded research and development projects. The 
SBIR program encourages domestic small business to engage in 
Federal research and development and creates jobs, supporting 
rapid growth in the smallest firms. The Committee encourages 
the Department of Defense to continue placing an increased 
focus on firms new to the SBIR program by providing resources 
to assist these firms, especially with government contracting 
and accounting.
    Advanced Green Laser Ballistic Eye Protection.--The 
Committee understands that the Army desires laser eye 
protection to protect the warfighter from green laser. The 
Committee therefore encourages the Secretary of the Army to 
develop lightweight protective eyewear that provides night 
vision capabilities to improve soldier protection from this 
widespread threat.
    Heat Exchange Rate Research.--The Committee encourages the 
Director of Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to 
support research and technology development in surface design 
and manufacturing to increase heat exchange rates by 10 times 
in power generation; to alleviate icing formation on aircraft 
wings; to inhibit the accumulation of unwanted living organism 
on ships; and to inhibit bacteria growth in biomedical systems 
and devices. Such surfaces should be computationally designed 
and robustly manufactured and maintained over a wide range of 
engineering materials to enable super-efficient and cost-
effective engineered systems.
    Trusted Foundry.--The Committee is concerned with efforts 
of a foreign based company to acquire a U.S.-based foundry that 
supplies trusted microprocessors for the Department of Defense 
and the Intelligence Community. The Committee has been informed 
by the Department that near-term and long-term plans are being 
developed to address access to microprocessors from trusted 
sources. Therefore, not later than 90 days after enactment of 
this act, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 
provide a report on the near-term and long-term plan to address 
U.S. access to trusted microprocessors.
    Department of Defense Acquisition and Innovation.--The 
Committee is aware of the Department of Defense release of the 
third iteration of Better Buying Power initiative and commends 
the Department for its continued efforts to increase efficiency 
throughout the research, development, acquisition and 
production process. Increasing the use of prototyping and 
removing barriers to increase the utilization of commercial 
technology should reduce costs and increase technology 
transition to our warfighters. The Committee notes the 
Department's recent request for information concerning research 
and development projects that promote innovation in military 
and dual-use technologies that could support military needs and 
advance the capabilities of the industrial base. The Committee 
encourages the Department to engage in more of this type of 
activity and directs the Department to provide periodic updates 
to the congressional defense committees on progress made within 
these initiatives.
    Mobile Applications for Military Use.--The Committee notes 
the increased importance of providing United States 
servicemembers with advancements in technology and supports 
Department of Defense efforts to build mobile applications and 
other specialized equipment. The Committee directs the Director 
of the Defense Information Systems Agency [DISA] to review its 
mobile strategy, in particular the process for delivering 
mobile applications that address the needs of the wide array of 
servicemember specializations, and submit a report to the 
congressional defense committees, not later than 180 days after 
enactment of this act. Further, the Committee recognizes the 
importance of small businesses in providing mobile applications 
for military uses and encourages DISA to engage small 
businesses to find these specialized solutions.
    Cyber Warfare Planning Capabilities.--The Committee is 
concerned that current and future adversaries of the United 
States are working to develop technical capabilities which will 
utilize the entire spectrum of denial technologies, from 
traditional kinetic weapons to cyber and electromagnetic 
weapons, which could enable adversarial forces to leverage new 
weapons and tactics against U.S. forces. U.S. forces must be 
prepared to fight a full spectrum conflict, which includes 
cyber-attacks and electromagnetic attacks in the battlespace. 
The Committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to develop a 
cyber-kinetic training capability for special operations forces 
as a pilot program for incorporating cyber kinetic training 
into the overall training cycle. The Department, in planning 
and developing this training, testing, evaluation, and 
assessment capability, is encouraged to use existing facilities 
where live-fire kinetic and cyber-attacks can be conducted 
against live and simulated cyber infrastructure, in order to 
enhance warfighting capabilities and prepare service members 
for future threats. The Committee also recommends that the 
Department consult with National Nuclear Security Agency, the 
National Security Agency, and other US intelligence agencies, 
as appropriate, to develop this capability. The Department of 
Defense shall submit a report on its plan to develop and 
incorporate such training not later than 180 days after 
enactment of this act.
    Research, Development, Test and Evaluation [RDT&E], 
Defense-Wide Justification Material.--The Committee is 
concerned with the level of detail provided by the Department 
of Defense to justify the fiscal year 2016 President's budget 
request in the RDT&E, Defense-Wide account. The Financial 
Management Regulations requires that programs within budget 
activity 4 through budget activity 7 be required to provide 
additional justification material beyond the basic R-1. Having 
additional justification material presented with the budget 
submission provides for more effective oversight of the funding 
requested in the account. To that end, the Committee directs 
the Secretary of Defense and the leadership of the agencies and 
organizations whose funding is contained in the RDT&E, Defense-
Wide account provide R-3 and R-4 data for all programs within 
budget activity 3. This information should be provided as part 
of the annual budget submission.
    Anti-Tunnel Capabilities.--The Committee understands that 
the United States and Israel face a growing threat to their 
borders from tunnels, and that these tunnels could be used for 
criminal or terrorist purposes. Therefore, the Committee 
believes that the United States and Israel could potentially 
benefit from developing technologies to detect and counter 
tunnels. However, the Committee notes that the Department of 
Defense has not identified to the Committee a requirement for 
developing such a capability, nor has the Secretary of Defense 
established a memorandum of agreement with the Government of 
Israel regarding the establishment of anti-tunnel capabilities. 
Therefore, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense 
for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics to provide in the 
near-term to the congressional defense committees an update on 
current anti-tunnel capabilities, including a roadmap for 
future capabilities.

                         MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY

    Missile Defense Agency [MDA] Science and Technology 
Initiatives.--The fiscal year 2016 budget request includes 
$320,729,000 for missile defense science and technology 
initiatives, an increase of $125,641,000 over amounts 
appropriated in fiscal year 2015. The Committee supports 
investment in technologies addressing future needs in a cost-
effective manner; however, the Committee is concerned with 
MDA's proposed plans. The Committee notes a significant 
increase for prototyping of systems based on immature 
technology, as well as significant concurrency between efforts. 
Further, the Committee remains concerned by the absence of 
defined requirements, cost targets, and realistic operational 
concepts. Therefore, the Committee recommends full funding for 
advanced technology development, but does not recommend funding 
for prototyping these technologies. Instead, the Committee 
recommends a $15,000,000 increase for continued technology 
development and maturation.
    Divert and Attitude Control Systems [DACS] Strategy.--The 
fiscal year 2016 budget request includes $11,842,000 for the 
competitive development of next generation DACS technology, a 
reduction of $8,633,000, or 42 percent, from fiscal year 2015. 
The Committee notes that MDA has not planned any funds for the 
continued development of next generation DACS technology in the 
following fiscal years, despite that fact that according to 
MDA, ``the DACS component is critical to making precise 
trajectory adjustments to position the kill vehicle for a 
target intercept''. The Committee notes the limited U.S. DACS 
industrial base, as well as significant cost savings and 
technology advances MDA has repeatedly garnered from having 
access to a competitive DACS industrial base during previous 
program development and acquisitions. Therefore, the Committee 
is concerned that MDA's strategy to support the DACS industrial 
base omits investing in new DACS technologies to support future 
weapons programs.
    In particular, the fiscal year 2016 budget request 
initiates the Multi-Object Kill Vehicle [MOKV] that will likely 
require next generation DACS technology. The Committee notes 
that MDA intends to award prototype concept contracts for the 
amount of $25,628,000 in fiscal year 2016. The Committee 
directs that not more than $6,332,000 may be obligated or 
expended for MOKV prototype concept contracts until the 
Director, MDA certifies to the congressional defense committees 
that MDA's ``Plan to Sustain Competitive Divert Attitude 
Control System Industrial Base'' is appropriately resourced in 
MDA's Future Year Defense Program to meet MDA's stated 
objective. The Committee recommends an additional $10,000,000 
for DACS technology to mitigate the funding shortfall in fiscal 
year 2016.
    SM-3 Block IIA Interceptor.--The fiscal year 2016 budget 
request includes $172,645,000 for continued development and the 
first flight test of the SM-3 Block IIA interceptor, which 
supports the European Phased Adaptive Approach. The Committee 
recommends full funding of this request. In addition, the 
budget requests $136,217,000 to continue incrementally funding 
17 SM-3 Block IIA flight test rounds. The Committee notes that 
this quantity considerably exceeds the number of rounds 
required for flight testing and initial fielding. The Committee 
further notes that these test rounds are expected to cost 
$515,300,000 through fiscal year 2020. Finally, the Committee 
is concerned by contractual agreements MDA has committed to for 
these flight rounds well in advance of them being ground or 
flight tested. MDA has informed the Committee that 
renegotiating contracts for these test rounds would add costs 
to the program and result in a fielding delay of the European 
Phased Adaptive Approach Phase III. The Committee does not 
support such a delay and therefore does not object to the 
funding request in this fiscal year. However, the Committee 
notes that an initial production decision for the SM-3 Block 
IIA interceptor is scheduled for fiscal year 2017. The 
Committee expects to receive insight into MDA's acquisition, 
contracting and budgeting strategy for initial production 
rounds prior to MDA entering into agreements with industry or 
foreign partners.
    Further, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of 
Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics to submit 
with the fiscal year 2017 budget request a report detailing by 
service and program all ongoing Department of Defense 
development programs with international partners, U.S. 
contributions by fiscal year since their respective initiation, 
and status of contracts through the fiscal year 2017 Future 
Years Defense Program.
    MDA Integrated Master Test Plan [IMTP].--The Committee 
understands that MDA has revised the process by which it 
develops its annual Integrated Master Test Plan to--amongst 
other goals--align more closely with the budget development and 
enactment process. The Committee welcomes this approach, but 
remains concerned with MDA's inability to retain a stable test 
program and repeated in-year plan adjustments due to target 
failures, test failures, re-tests, and new test requirements. 
The Committee notes that since fiscal year 2012, MDA has 
executed less than 50 percent of its planned annual test 
program. While the Committee recognizes the need for execution 
year adjustments to some degree, the Committee is concerned 
that these constant adjustments reduce the overall quality of 
MDA's test program. Further, the Committee notes that MDA has 
yet to submit its Integrated Master Test Plan for the upcoming 
year. The Committee expects the Director, MDA to continue to 
improve planning and execution of the MDA test program.
    Sharing of Classified United States Ballistic Missile 
Defense Information With the Russian Federation.--The Committee 
remains concerned with the potential security risks associated 
with sharing sensitive U.S. missile defense data and technology 
with the Russian Federation. The Committee recognizes that 
existing law restricts the sharing of sensitive and classified 
ballistic missile defense information with the Russian 
Federation, as established in the National Defense 
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015. The Committee expects 
the administration to continue to adhere to current law until 
superseded by an act authorizing appropriations for fiscal year 
2016.

    Meals Ready-to-Eat War Reserve.--The Committee commends the 
Defense Logistics Agency [DLA] for initiating action to study 
the Meals Ready to Eat [MRE] War Reserve and industrial base. 
The Committee encourages the Director of the DLA to maintain 
the recommendations outlined in DLA's September 2013 Meals 
Ready to Eat [MRE] Strategic Plan. This plan outlined an 
objective to maintain a stockage level of 5,000,000 cases of 
MREs and projected an annual purchase rate of approximately 
2,500,000 cases through 2016 to meet the stockage objective and 
ensure the industrial base is able to meet surge requirements. 
The Director of the DLA shall submit written notification to 
the congressional defense committees not later than 90 days 
prior to seeking any potential modifications to the War Reserve 
after September 30, 2015.

    Restoration of Fiscal Year 2015 Reductions.--The Committee 
was dismayed to find the fiscal year 2016 budget restored all 
of the congressional reductions in the Department of Defense 
Appropriations Act, 2015. The Committee was deliberate in its 
conference negotiations and believes that the restoration of 
prior year cuts creates an artificial baseline on which to 
build the following year's budget. In order to reassert 
congressional intent and create a more accurate baseline for 
fiscal year 2016, the Committee recommendation includes a total 
reduction of $267,399,000 to the budget request.
    Defense Health Program Reprogramming Procedures.--The 
Committee remains concerned regarding the transfer of funds 
from the In-House Care budget sub-activity to pay for 
contractor-provided medical care. To limit such transfers and 
improve oversight within the Defense Health Program operation 
and maintenance account, the Committee includes a provision 
which caps the funds available for Private Sector Care under 
the TRICARE program subject to prior approval reprogramming 
procedures. The provision and accompanying report language 
should not be interpreted by the Department as limiting the 
amount of funds that may be transferred to the Direct Care 
System from other budget activities within the Defense Health 
Program. In addition, the Committee continues to designate the 
funding for the In-House Care budget sub-activity as a special 
interest item. Any transfer of funds from the In-House Care 
budget sub-activity into the Private Sector Care budget sub-
activity or any other budget sub-activity will require the 
Secretary of Defense to follow prior approval reprogramming 
procedures for operation and maintenance funds.
    The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide 
written notification to the congressional defense committees of 
cumulative transfers in excess of $10,000,000 out of the 
Private Sector Care budget sub-activity not later than 15 days 
after such a transfer. The Committee further directs the 
Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to provide 
quarterly reports to the congressional defense committees on 
budget execution data for all of the Defense Health Program 
budget activities and to adequately reflect changes to the 
budget activities requested by the services in future budget 
submissions.
    Carryover.--For fiscal year 2016, the Committee recommends 
1 percent carryover authority for the operation and maintenance 
account of the Defense Health Program. The Committee directs 
the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to submit a 
detailed spending plan for any fiscal year 2015 designated 
carryover funds to the congressional defense committees not 
less than 30 days prior to executing the carryover funds.
    Private Sector Care Underexecution.--According to a review 
by the Government Accountability Office, the Department 
underexecuted its Private Sector Care budget by $1,463,178,000 
in fiscal year 2012, $519,427,000 in fiscal year 2013 and 
$481,654,000 in fiscal year 2014 for an average of 5.3 percent 
underexecution. Given the continued trend of prior-year 
underexecution, the Committee believes that additional savings 
can be realized and recommends a reduction of $263,100,000 to 
the fiscal year 2016 budget request. The Committee urges the 
Department to submit future year budgets that are more closely 
aligned with recent provided care patterns.
    The Committee recognizes the fiscal challenge posed by the 
rapidly increasing costs of compound pharmaceuticals and 
understands the Department has recently implemented an 
automated screening and prior authorization process in an 
attempt to rein in these costs. While there are likely 
additional savings in the Private Sector Care account for both 
historical underexecution and the restoration of prior year 
reductions, the Committee recognizes the dynamic nature of the 
compound pharmaceuticals issue and accordingly recommends only 
moderate reductions.
    Electronic Health Record.--The Committee remains concerned 
about the progress being made by the Departments of Defense and 
Veterans Affairs to develop fully interoperable electronic 
health records. The ultimate goal of the efforts of both 
Departments is to have systems that can exchange data in a 
meaningful way and be used in a dynamic environment to improve 
patient care and facilitate smoother transitions for 
servicemembers from military service to veteran status.
    The Committee appreciates the Department's improvements in 
providing information on prior year budgets and expenditures on 
its electronic health record as well as an equivalent level of 
detail for the fiscal year 2016 budget request. The Committee 
directs the Program Executive Officer [PEO] for the Defense 
Healthcare Management Systems Modernization [DHMSM] program to 
provide quarterly reports to the congressional defense 
committees and the Government Accountability Office on the cost 
and schedule of the program, to include milestones, knowledge 
points and acquisition timelines, as well as quarterly 
obligation reports. These reports should also include the 
following: (1) any changes to the deployment timeline, 
including benchmarks, for full operating capability; (2) any 
refinements to the cost estimate for full operating capability 
and the total life cycle cost of the project; (3) an assurance 
that the acquisition strategy will comply with the acquisition 
rules, requirements, guidelines and systems acquisition 
management practices of the Federal Government; (4) the status 
of the effort to achieve interoperability between the 
electronic health record systems of the Department of Defense 
and the Department of Veterans Affairs, including the scope, 
cost, schedule, mapping to health data standards and 
performance benchmarks of the interoperable record; and (6) the 
progress toward developing, implementing and fielding the 
interoperable electronic health record throughout the two 
Departments' medical facilities. The Committee further directs 
the PEO DHMSM to continue briefing the House and Senate Defense 
Appropriations Subcommittees on a quarterly basis, coinciding 
with the report submission. Given that full deployment of the 
new electronic health record is not scheduled until fiscal year 
2022, the Committee expects the Department to continue working 
on interim modifications and enhancements to the current system 
to improve interoperability in the short-term.
    The Committee also directs the Department of Defense to 
provide written notification to the Committees on 
Appropriations of the House and Senate prior to obligating any 
contract, or combination of contracts, for electronic health 
record systems in excess of $5,000,000.
    Finally, the Committee directs the Interagency Program 
Office to continue to provide quarterly briefings to the House 
and Senate Subcommittees on Appropriations for Defense and 
Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies 
regarding standards development, how those standards are being 
incorporated by both DOD and VA and the progress of 
interoperability between the two Departments. In an effort to 
ensure government-wide accountability, the Committee also 
directs the DOD in coordination with the VA to provide the 
Federal Chief Information Officer of the United States with 
monthly updates on progress made by the two Departments to 
reach interoperability and modernize their respective 
electronic health records.
    Traumatic Brain Injury [TBI]/ Psychological Health.--The 
Committee recommends $60,000,000 above the fiscal year 2016 
budget request for continued research into treatment, 
prevention and detection of traumatic brain injuries and 
improved psychological health. The Committee directs the 
Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to submit a 
report to the congressional defense committees not later than 
180 days after enactment of this act on expenditure and 
obligation data of additional funding added by Congress for 
psychological health and traumatic brain injury. This report 
should include information on agreements made with other 
government agencies.
    Additionally, the Committee is aware of recent medical 
advances in drug development for neurodegenerative diseases and 
encourages the Department to further its research into 
developing drugs that reverse, halt, or slow the 
neurodegenerative process associated with traumatic brain 
injury. The Committee is also aware of advances in diagnostic 
and mapping tools developed to better understand the cellular 
extent of TBI. These advances could lead to more effective 
protective gear that minimizes or eliminates the damage 
associated with TBI, and the Committee encourages the 
Department to continue its research in these areas.
    Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program.--The Committee 
recommends $278,700,000 for the Peer-Reviewed Medical Research 
Program. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in 
conjunction with the Service Surgeons General, to select 
medical research projects of clear scientific merit and direct 
relevance to military health. Research areas considered under 
this funding are restricted to: acute lung injury, amyotrophic 
lateral sclerosis, antimicrobial resistance, autism, chronic 
migraine and post-traumatic headache, congenital heart disease, 
constrictive bronchiolitis, diabetes, dystonia, emerging 
infectious diseases, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, 
Fragile X syndrome, gulf war illness, hepatitis B, hereditary 
angioedema, hydrocephalus, inflammatory bowel disease, 
influenza, integrative medicine, interstitial cystitis, lupus, 
malaria, metals toxicology, mitochondrial disease, multiple 
sclerosis, nanomaterials for bone regeneration, 
neurofibromatosis, non-opioid pain management, orthopedics, 
pancreatitis, Parkinson's, pathogen-inactivated dried plasma, 
polycystic kidney disease, post-traumatic osteoarthritis, 
psychotropic medications, pulmonary fibrosis, reconstructive 
transplantation, respiratory health, Rett syndrome, rheumatoid 
arthritis, scleroderma, sleep disorders, spinal cord injury, 
tinnitus, tuberculosis, tuberous sclerosis complex, vaccine 
development for infectious disease, vascular malformations, 
vision and women's heart disease. The Committee emphasizes that 
the additional funding provided under the Peer-Reviewed Medical 
Research Program shall be devoted only to the purposes listed 
above.
    Joint Warfighter Medical Research Program.--The Committee 
recommends $50,000,000 for the Joint Warfighter Medical 
Research Program. Funds shall be used to augment and accelerate 
high priority Department of Defense and service medical 
requirements and to continue prior year initiatives that are 
close to achieving their objectives and yielding a benefit to 
military medicine. These funds shall not be used for new 
projects or basic research, and they shall be awarded at the 
discretion of the Secretary of Defense following a review of 
medical research and development gaps, as well as unfinanced 
medical requirements of the services. Further, the Committee 
directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to 
provide a report not later than 180 days after the enactment of 
this act to the congressional defense committees, which lists 
the projects that receive funding. The report should include 
the funding amount awarded to each project, a thorough 
description of each project's research and the benefit the 
research will provide to the Department of Defense.
    Peer-Reviewed Cancer Research Programs.--The Committee 
recommends $120,000,000 for the peer-reviewed breast cancer 
research program, $64,000,000 for the peer-reviewed prostate 
cancer research program, $10,000,000 for the peer-reviewed 
ovarian cancer research program and $50,000,000 for the peer-
reviewed cancer research program that would research cancers 
not addressed in the aforementioned programs currently executed 
by the Department of Defense.
    The funds provided in the peer-reviewed cancer research 
program are directed to be used to conduct research in the 
following areas: colorectal cancer, immunotherapy, kidney 
cancer, liver cancer, melanoma, mesothelioma, neuroblastoma, 
pancreatic cancer, pediatric brain tumors and stomach cancer.
    The funds provided under the peer-reviewed cancer research 
program shall be used only for the purposes listed above. The 
Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health 
Affairs) to provide a report not later than 180 days after the 
enactment of this act to the congressional defense committees 
on the status of the peer-reviewed cancer research program. For 
each research area, the report should include the funding 
amount awarded, the progress of the research and the relevance 
of the research to servicemembers.
    The Committee is aware of increasingly effective 
technological advancements for the treatment of cancer, 
including advanced screening tools that promise better, 
individually-tailored, cost-effective treatment regimens. The 
Committee encourages the Department to continue research in 
pharmacogenomics, bioinformatics and related areas to further 
improve treatment options for service personnel and their 
families.
    Orthotics and Prosthetics Outcomes Research.--The Committee 
recommends $10,000,000 in support of orthotics and prosthetics 
outcomes research and directs the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense (Health Affairs) to provide a report not later than 180 
days after the enactment of this act to the congressional 
defense committees on the peer-reviewed projects that receive 
funding. The report should include the funding amount awarded 
to each project and the anticipated effect on patient care.
    Collaboration on Medical Research.--The Committee 
understands that the Department is continuing to work with the 
National Institutes of Health [NIH] on furthering a pilot 
program to share Department of Defense research data into 
Federal Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools Expenditures 
and Results [RePORTER]. The Committee continues to support this 
effort to share medical research data across Federal agencies 
and encourages the Department to require its use across the 
services to ensure all Department research data is entered into 
Federal RePORTER. Additionally, the Department should provide 
appropriate resources, both in amount and type of 
appropriation, in future budget submissions to carry out this 
effort.
    Last year, the Committee directed the Department to 
contract with the Institute of Medicine to evaluate the 
Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program and provide a 
report to the congressional defense committees within 12 
months. This report will include an evaluation of the 
Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program's two-tiered 
peer review process, its coordination of research priorities 
with NIH and recommendations for how the process can be 
improved. The Committee looks forward to receiving this report 
in its efforts to continue to ensure that Government 
investments in medical research are maximized.
    Mental Health Professionals.--The Committee recognizes that 
servicemembers and their families face unique stresses beyond 
those of everyday life. After over a decade of war, the need 
for mental health professionals in the Department is at an all-
time high, and the Committee believes that every beneficiary of 
the Military Health System should have timely access to mental 
health services. However, the Committee is concerned with the 
Department's inability to recruit and retain enough 
psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurse 
practitioners and registered nurses to provide adequate mental 
healthcare. The Government Accountability Office [GAO] review 
of this issue found that progress is being made regarding the 
annual reporting of mental health professional staffing needs. 
However, GAO also noted that the services need to accurately 
report any additional measures used to supplement the 
Psychological Health Risk-Adjusted Model for Staffing [PHRAMS] 
as well as report their PHRAMS-generated estimates in the 
requirements fields of the Defense Health Agency's [DHA] 
quarterly mental health staffing reports. The Committee 
encourages the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs), 
the Director of the Defense Health Agency, and the Service 
Surgeons General to continue to work together to ensure annual 
estimates of mental health professionals meet the needs of all 
beneficiaries in the military health system. In addition, the 
Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) is directed to 
prepare as part of DHA's fiscal year 2017 budget submission a 
review of these estimates as well as an outline of current 
challenges in recruiting and retaining mental health 
professionals by the Department of Defense.
    Brain Tissue Repository.--The Committee applauds the 
Department's recent efforts in advancing the study and 
treatment of traumatic brain injury in servicemembers by 
partnering with the National Institutes of Health to create the 
world's first human brain tissue repository for military 
personnel at the Uniformed Services University of the Health 
Sciences. Last year, the Committee directed the Assistant 
Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to provide a report 
outlining strategies for overcoming roadblocks to post-mortem 
brain donation in the military. The Committee looks forward to 
receiving this report and working with the Department to 
advance this research to improve the protection and care of 
servicemembers.
    Transfer of Service Treatment Records to the Department of 
Veterans Affairs [VA].--The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 
2014 directed the Department of Defense Inspector General to 
work in coordination with the VA Office of the Inspector 
General to assess the time it takes for Service Treatment 
records to be transmitted to VA, impediments to providing the 
records in a useable electronic format and recommendations to 
streamline this process. The Department of Defense Inspector 
General found that the Department of Defense did not 
consistently transfer timely and complete service treatment 
records to the VA, likely contributing to delays in processing 
veterans' benefit claims. The Inspector General recommended 
that the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and 
Readiness, in coordination with the Director, Defense Health 
Agency, revise Department of Defense Instruction 6040.45, 
``Service Treatment Record [STR] and Non-Service Treatment 
Record Life Cycle Management,'' October 28, 2010, to update the 
process for certifying STRs as complete and require the 
Military Departments to perform annual reviews of STRs with 
servicemembers to achieve STR completeness. It was further 
recommended that the Commander, U.S. Army Medical Command and 
the Commander, U.S. Navy Bureau of Medicine and Surgery 
identify and resolve inefficiencies in the STR transfer process 
that delay the timely processing of STRs for active duty and 
Reserve Component personnel.
    The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to implement 
these recommendations and report back to the congressional 
defense committees not later than 90 days after the enactment 
of this act on the status of their implementation.
    Global Health.--The Committee recognizes the critical 
contribution that the Department of Defense research and 
development [R&D] portfolio makes in protecting servicemembers 
from infectious diseases they may encounter on missions around 
the world and the need to sustain and support U.S. investment 
in this area by fully funding R&D programs that carry out this 
work within the Department of Defense Health Program, 
Department of the Army and Department of the Navy Research, 
Development, Test and Evaluation budgets.
    The statement of managers accompanying the Department of 
Defense Appropriations Act, 2015 required the director of each 
program within the Department currently involved in infectious 
disease-related research to submit a report on the program's 
R&D activities from fiscal years 2011 through 2014, including 
funding, accomplishments, goals and funding requirements across 
the Future Years Defense Program. The Committee looks forward 
to receiving this initial report and directs the Department to 
submit a report to the congressional defense committees not 
later than 180 days after the enactment of this act with the 
same criteria for fiscal year 2015 funding.
    Additionally, the Committee continues to recognize that the 
Department's global health engagements support combatant 
commanders' efforts to build the capacity of partner nations, 
manage and respond to local health challenges and promote 
regional stability by increasing access to basic health 
services. The Committee encourages the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense (Health Affairs), in collaboration with the Uniformed 
Services University of Health Sciences, to establish a learning 
tool to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of global 
health engagements in meeting national security goals. The 
Committee further encourages the Department to fund this modest 
investment from within appropriated funds in order to better 
inform future investments in global health engagements.
    Military Readiness and Resilience through Total Force 
Fitness and the Healthy Base Initiative.--The Committee 
understands that the Department has potentially overarching, 
yet nascent, programs that could dramatically enhance 
recruitment, retention, readiness and resilience for the entire 
military community. Chief among those programs are Total Force 
Fitness [TFF] and the Healthy Base Initiative [HBI]. TFF is a 
framework for building and maintaining health, readiness and 
performance. It views health, wellness and resilience as a 
holistic concept where optimal performance requires a 
connection among mind, body, spirit and family and social 
relationships. HBI complements TFF by strengthening elements of 
healthy military communities with a focus on the prevention of 
obesity and reduction in tobacco use. HBI was launched in 2013 
and is currently operating at 14 military sites.
    These programs and the implementation of a Department 
vision for individual well-being and resilience would greatly 
benefit from stronger centralized, empowered governance and 
focused integration. The Committee strongly encourages the 
Department to create an office reporting directly to the 
Secretary of Defense, with authorities and access across the 
services, Joint Staff and all Offices of the Secretary. This 
office should be guided by TFF to promote system-wide behavior, 
policy and practice changes to achieve personal and population 
fitness, readiness and resilience.
    Further, the Committee encourages the designation of the 
Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences' 
Consortium of Health and Military Performance [CHAMP] as the 
lead organization for the development of the evidence base, 
education and evaluation of TFF and HBI integration to ensure 
enhancement of recruitment, retention, readiness and 
resilience. The Committee supports the development and 
execution of a pilot program involving six of the HBI sites 
whereby health tracking technologies are employed and the 
wellbeing impact of those technologies is monitored and 
evaluated by the participating bases and CHAMP. The Committee 
recommends $3,000,000 in Operation and Maintenance, Defense-
wide for the Healthy Base Initiative to support a health 
tracking technologies pilot program.
    Reconstructive Transplantation.--The Committee understands 
that the science of hand, face and other complex transplants is 
at a critical juncture and achieving life-changing results for 
both servicemembers and civilians. This rapidly growing 
discipline greatly benefits from collaboration among 
institutions, surgeons and investigators, and the Committee 
encourages the Department to promote multi-institutional and 
intra-institutional multidisciplinary collaborations among 
clinicians and research scientists that accelerate the movement 
of promising ideas in reconstructive composite tissue 
transplantation into clinical applications. The Committee 
includes reconstructive transplantation as eligible to compete 
for funds in the Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program and 
supports this important research to improve access to 
reconstructive transplants and state-of-the-art immunotherapy.
    Integration of Complementary and Alternative Therapies into 
Military Health Care.--The Committee recognizes the 
Department's efforts to date to integrate complementary and 
alternative [CAM] therapies into military healthcare. However, 
the Department's 2014 Integrative Medicine in the Military 
Health Care System Report to Congress noted that only 29 
percent of the reporting military treatment facilities offered 
CAM programs. While the report outlined the Department's 
established processes for inclusion of therapies in TRICARE 
benefits, there has been little activity to apply those 
processes to CAM.
    The report also noted that the lack of system-wide guidance 
contributes to this patchwork of coverage, which has relied on 
individual providers on their own initiative to add CAM 
therapies as an adjunct to conventional therapies. This 
patchwork denies many patients access to a holistic, patient-
centered approach to patient treatment and management. Patients 
seek CAM therapies for a number of valid reasons including a 
desire to play a more active and participative role in their 
health and healthcare and engage in a more patient-centered 
approach to care.
    The Committee strongly encourages the Department to hold to 
its commitment to systematically evaluate all medical therapies 
for safety and effectiveness, to identify CAM therapies for 
widespread implementation in the military health system and the 
TRICARE benefit and to report to Congress on known barriers to 
and facilitators for full integration of CAM therapies.
    Improving Military Medicine's Management of Pain.--Recent 
scientific journals have highlighted the well-established fact 
that substantial numbers of servicemembers are experiencing 
chronic pain as a result of their military service. One journal 
reported that of over 2,500 servicemembers that had recently 
returned from Iraq or Afghanistan, 44 percent reported chronic 
pain and 15 percent reported recent use of opioid pain 
relievers--nearly four times the reported recent use by 
civilians.
    The Department has solidified the Uniformed Services 
University of the Health Sciences' Defense and Veterans Center 
for Integrative Pain Management [DVCIPM] as its proponent for 
world-class pain management services for military and Veterans 
Affairs beneficiaries and for the development of consensus 
recommendations for Department-wide improvements in pain 
medicine policies, practice, education and research. DVCIPM has 
also been tasked with addressing the many recommendations of 
the Army Pain Management Task Force for a comprehensive pain 
management strategy that utilizes state of the art science 
modalities and technologies to address acute and chronic pain 
of servicemembers and other patients.
    Complementary and alternative [CAM] therapies are now 
recognized as vital among those modalities for the treatment of 
pain for their efficacy, broad patient acceptance, minimal 
adverse effects and low cost. Yet the development of system-
wide policies and practices for their integration remains 
unfulfilled. The Committee strongly encourages DVCIPM to 
accelerate the research on and integration of CAM therapies for 
the management of pain and directs the Assistant Secretary of 
Defense (Health Affairs) to provide a report to the 
congressional defense committees not later than 180 days after 
enactment of this act on the status of their integration.
    Medical Defense Against Infectious Disease.--The Committee 
recognizes the importance of medical countermeasures to 
naturally occurring infectious diseases and tropical infectious 
diseases, such as malaria, Dengue and Chikungunya viruses. 
These pose a significant threat to the strategic access and 
operational effectiveness of forces deployed outside the United 
States. The Committee is concerned with the Department's 
decisions over recent years to precipitously decrease funding 
for malaria research and encourages the Department to address 
diseases of military importance and invest in research for 
chemoprophylaxis, surveillance, novel approaches to vaccine 
development and other countermeasures. The Committee urges the 
Department to partner with colleges and universities that have 
strong research programs in infectious diseases, as well as 
other Federal agencies, foreign governments, international 
agencies and nonprofit organizations to mitigate duplication of 
effort and maximize the use of Department resources.
    Additionally, several emerging infectious diseases and flu 
epidemics have taken the global community by surprise over the 
last few decades, including SARs, H1N1 and Ebola. Disease 
surveillance, rapid detection, outbreak response and 
epidemiology are essential to providing an early warning of 
emerging infectious disease threats to servicemembers abroad 
and global health security in general. The Committee recommends 
an additional $177,300,000 for core Defense Health Program 
research and encourages the Department to continue its 
investments in these efforts, including tropical infectious 
diseases and the development of a universal flu vaccine.
    Trauma Clinical Research Network.--The Committee 
understands that trauma is the leading cause of death of all 
Americans from birth through age 46, causing more deaths in 
this age group than all other causes combined. Deaths of 
American servicemembers in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, the 
majority from traumatic injury, totaled nearly 7,000 as of 
January 2015. The Committee encourages the Assistant Secretary 
of Defense (Health Affairs) and the Director of the Defense 
Health Agency to work with other Federal agencies focused on 
trauma research to establish a task force to identify the 
priorities for and gaps in trauma research. The Committee 
supports the Department's continued efforts to further advances 
in trauma care and understands that the Department has budgeted 
resources to promote the compilation of lessons learned on the 
battlefield and in civilian life. These efforts should leverage 
multi-institution clinical studies at a network of civilian and 
military trauma centers. The Committee understands that the 
Department is initiating this program in fiscal year 2015 and 
encourages the Department to allocate sufficient resources for 
the program in future budget submissions.
    Warfighter Respiratory Health.--The Committee understands 
that respiratory diseases affect more than 100,000 
servicemembers each year and is concerned about respiratory 
ailments among deployed and returning servicemembers. Beyond 
the decreased quality of life for affected servicemembers, 
respiratory diseases result in almost 27,000 lost workdays per 
year. The Committee encourages the Department to provide 
adequate resources for research on respiratory health.
    Epilepsy Research.--The Committee is concerned about the 
large number of service men and women returning from the 
Persian Gulf Wars and Afghanistan who have sustained traumatic 
brain injuries [TBI] and the long term consequences of TBI. 
These wounded warriors are at high risk for developing 
posttraumatic epilepsy, depression, cognitive difficulties and 
posttraumatic stress disorder, which may be interconnected. As 
current TBI longitudinal studies have not included epilepsy, 
the Committee encourages the Department to place greater 
priority and invest more funding in longitudinal 
epidemiological research, including epilepsy surveillance, to 
better understand the magnitude of the problem and improve 
patient care and outcomes. To assist in these efforts, the 
Committee recommends $7,500,000 in support of epilepsy 
research. Additionally, the Committee urges the Department to 
expand research into the mechanisms by which brain injury 
produces epilepsy and research directed at the prevention of 
epilepsy and concomitant comorbidities in those known to be at 
high risk.
    Melanoma Research.--The Committee understands that melanoma 
diagnoses are increasing among active duty servicemembers and 
that melanoma is the fifth most common cancer among veterans. 
Recent research suggests that exposure to high levels of solar 
radiation in young adulthood is associated with a higher risk 
of melanoma mortality. Given the extreme and harsh conditions 
servicemembers face in theater and the rise of this aggressive 
and frequently deadly form of cancer, the Committee encourages 
the Department to continue its investments in melanoma 
research.
    Sleep Disorder Research.--The Committee recognizes that 
sleep disorders are increasingly prevalent among servicemembers 
and that such disruptions have been associated with diverse 
mental and physical disorders, including traumatic brain injury 
and post-traumatic stress. The Committee applauds the Army for 
acknowledging the importance of sleep in achieving optimal 
physical, mental and emotional health and including sleep as a 
focus in the Performance Triad. In support of this effort, the 
Committee urges the Department to support basic, translational 
and clinical research on how the disruption of normal sleep and 
circadian biological rhythms adversely affects the health, 
safety, performance and productivity of our military and 
civilian populations.
    Prescription Effectiveness of Psychotropic Medications.--
The Committee supports the Department's efforts to treat 
patients diagnosed with behavioral health disorders and 
believes that the ongoing efforts to use database-supported 
methods in order to increase the accuracy and effectiveness of 
prescription practices for mental health medications may not 
only achieve cost savings but also improve patient care. The 
Committee encourages the expansion of this research to 
additional sites as preliminary findings have shown promising 
results.
    Active Barrier Apparel.--The Committee encourages the 
Department to incorporate commercially available, effective 
technologies, including innovative textile products, to reduce 
opportunities for spreading infections in healthcare settings. 
Healthcare acquired infections result in significant additional 
costs and jeopardize patient care. The Committee understands 
that emerging apparel technologies may minimize the effect of 
unanticipated exposures to blood and body fluids, subsequently 
reducing exposure to pathogens, and supports their use as a 
means to reduce infection risk in healthcare settings.
    Hydrocephalus Research.--The Committee is concerned that 
some of the estimated 294,000 servicemembers who have sustained 
a traumatic brain injury in Operation Enduring Freedom and 
Iraqi Freedom are at higher risk for developing hydrocephalus. 
Hydrocephalus, an increased accumulation of fluid in the brain, 
often has a delayed onset and can easily be misdiagnosed as 
dementia or other aging related diseases. Given that there is 
currently no cure for hydrocephalus and current treatment 
options are limited and have high failure rates, the Committee 
encourages the Department to increase its investments in 
hydrocephalus research.
    Biomarkers for Toxic Exposures.--The Committee recognizes 
that hazardous exposures cost the Departments of Defense and 
Veterans Affairs billions of dollars annually in medical care, 
reduce servicemember performance and create a multitude of 
health compensation claims. Identifying biomarkers for toxic or 
psychologically traumatic exposures could allow for faster 
diagnosis and treatment of a number of exposure-related 
conditions among military and veteran populations. The 
Committee supports research efforts that capitalize on recent 
advances in chemical surveillance and systems biology including 
proteomics, genomics and metabolomics.
    Speech Disorder Healthcare Services.--The Committee 
understands that many military members and veterans suffer from 
neurogenic stuttering, a condition that can arise due to head 
trauma or brain injury in adults who have not previously been 
affected by the speech disorder. The needs of servicemembers 
and their dependents who struggle with stuttering may not be 
fully met due to insufficient TRICARE reimbursement for 
evidence-based speech language healthcare services that address 
stuttering. Therefore, the Committee directs the Assistant 
Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to provide a report not 
later than 180 days after the enactment of this act to the 
congressional defense committees on the availability of 
evidence-based speech language healthcare services to treat 
stuttering, including the number of affected members of the 
military and dependents served, the type and frequency of 
services provided, the level of coverage provided for these 
services under TRICARE plans, the number of available providers 
by region and whether reimbursement levels are sufficient to 
retain qualified providers and to provide sufficient 
accessibility of services in the TRICARE network.
    Behavioral and Mental Health Care for National Guard and 
Reserve.--The Committee recognizes that the men and women of 
the National Guard and Reserve components need greater access 
to care if they are to maintain a high state of medical 
readiness to support regularly occurring deployments. It also 
recognizes that the suicide rate in the reserve components is 
consistently higher than the suicide rate for both the active 
duty military and the civilian population. Therefore, the 
Committee encourages the Department to better ensure that 
periodic health assessments are followed by medical treatment 
to address any behavioral or mental health conditions that 
could impact a servicemember's ability to deploy, even if such 
care falls outside of the pre-deployment window. This practice 
would allow for a more medically ready, deployable force and 
would expand access to behavioral and mental healthcare for 
reserve component servicemembers.
    Biological Dosimetry Network for Radiological/Nuclear 
Events.--The Committee is concerned that the detonation of a 
nuclear weapon at a Department of Defense facility or in a 
combat zone has the potential to expose numerous military and 
civilian personnel to radiation and non-radiation effects. This 
type of event could overwhelm medical personnel unless 
effective triage is in place. A biodosimetry network could 
provide an estimate of the radiation dose an individual 
actually received and would clearly identify those in need of 
further treatment. The Committee understands that the 
Department is in the process of developing a biodosimetry 
network and encourages the expeditious development and testing 
of such a network. Further, the Department should coordinate 
its efforts with the Departments of Health and Human Services, 
Homeland Security, the Food and Drug Administration and other 
agencies as appropriate.
    Operational Risk Management of Deployment Exposures.--The 
Committee understands that the Department's Occupational and 
Environmental Health Site Assessment [OEHSA] Tactics, 
Techniques and Procedures lays the foundation for a 
comprehensive occupational and environmental health exposure 
risk management program. This program anticipates, evaluates 
and mitigates health exposure threats during deployments. 
However, recent reports indicate the absence of a systematic 
and unified approach to occupational and environmental health 
exposure mitigation, prevention, avoidance and documentation. 
The Committee encourages the Department to ensure that all 
services develop a standard operating procedure and utilize 
uniform subject matter expertise, equipment platform and 
training programs so that realistic preventative courses of 
action are provided to servicemembers throughout the entire 
deployment cycle. The establishment of a uniform OEHSA program 
will minimize unnecessary exposures, reduce healthcare and 
disability costs, lower operational stress and provide 
deploying warriors the most advanced force health protection 
possible.
    Large Patient Cohorts in Cancer Research.--The Committee 
acknowledges that the pace of cancer research and its value to 
military personnel may be enhanced through the use of patient 
data, such as tissue and genomic information, derived from 
large patient cohorts. The inclusion of military population 
cohorts, long-term health records, bio-specimen repositories 
and pre-existing consents for both current and future research 
could further enhance such research; and the Committee 
encourages the Department to support worthy cancer research 
proposals that leverage these types of data resources
    Real-Time Locating System [RTLS] Technology.--The Committee 
understands that automated resource management systems may 
improve patient care in both normal and emergency situations 
and that the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command 
and Telemedicine Advanced Technology Research Center have begun 
research to define, exercise and refine best practices for 
management of blast injury mass casualty disasters through the 
use of RTLS technology. The Committee encourages the Department 
to continue this research and directs the Assistant Secretary 
of Defense (Health Affairs) to provide an update to the 
congressional defense committees not later than 120 days after 
enactment of this act detailing these research efforts to date.

    National Guard Counter-Drug Program.--The Committee remains 
concerned that the Department continues to reduce overall 
funding for the National Guard Counter-Drug program, and 
disagrees with the fiscal year 2016 President's budget request 
which does not fund these activities under an independent 
budget line as contained in Senate Report 113-211. The 
Committee recommends $192,900,000 for the National Guard 
Counter-Drug program and urges the Department to include an 
individual budget line for this program in its fiscal year 2017 
budget submission.
    National Guard Counter-Drug Schools.--The Committee 
commends the Department for providing funding for the Counter-
Drug Schools program after making no request in fiscal year 
2015. The counter-drug schools' mission of providing combatant 
commands, law enforcement agencies, community-based 
organizations and military personnel with training to support 
and enhance their capabilities to detect, interdict, disrupt 
and curtail drug trafficking is an important component of our 
overall effort to reduce drug crimes and protect national 
security. The Committee recommends $20,000,000 for the counter-
drug schools to achieve their full mission and urges the 
Department to include an individual budget line for this 
program in its fiscal year 2017 budget submission.

operations. In fiscal year 2015 Congress appropriated 
$63,999,995,000 for activities funded in this title.

                                OVERVIEW

                        COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

    The Committee recommends $86,868,252,000 of additional 
appropriations for overseas contingency operations in fiscal 
year 2016. This funding will ensure that resources, equipment, 
and supplies are available for our servicemembers without 
interruption, and will enable the Department to avoid absorbing 
operational costs from within baseline programs that are 
critical to future readiness and home-station activities.

                         REPORTING REQUIREMENTS

    The Committee directs that the Department of Defense 
continue to report incremental contingency operations costs for 
Operation Inherent Resolve and Operation Freedom's Sentinel on 
a monthly basis in the Cost of War Execution report as required 
by Department of Defense Financial Management Regulation, 
chapter 23, volume 12. The Committee further directs the 
Department to continue providing the Cost of War reports to the 
congressional defense committees that include the following 
information by appropriation: funding appropriated, funding 
allocated, monthly obligations, monthly disbursements, 
cumulative fiscal year obligations, and cumulative fiscal year 
disbursements.
    The Committee expects that in order to meet unanticipated 
requirements, the Department of Defense may need to transfer 
funds within these appropriations accounts for purposes other 
than those specified in this report. The Committee directs the 
Department of Defense to follow normal prior approval 
reprogramming procedures should it be necessary to transfer 
funding between different appropriations accounts in this 
title.

                           MILITARY PERSONNEL

    The Committee recommends a total of $3,204,758,000 for pay, 
allowances, and other personnel costs for Active, Reserve, and 
Guard troops activated for duty in Afghanistan and other 
contingency operations. This recommendation includes funding 
for subsistence, permanent change of station travel, and 
special pays including imminent danger pay, family separation 
allowance, and hardship duty pay.

    Ukraine.--The Committee includes a provision that 
recommends $300,000,000 for the Ukraine Security Assistance 
Initiative to aid Ukraine as it confronts aggression from anti-
government forces within its borders. The Committee directs the 
Secretary of Defense to provide a quarterly report on the 
obligation of these funds. Additionally, the Committee notes 
that the U.S. military has begun bilateral training programs 
with elements of the Ukrainian military and security forces. 
The Committee encourages the Department of Defense and 
Commander, European Command, to include assistance on 
psychological health and related support programs as part of 
future training engagements. The Department of Defense has 
become a leader in research in these areas, and should 
accelerate sharing of its best practices with our partner 
nations.
    Countering Violent Extremism Online.--The Committee 
recognizes that the United States' strategy to defeat the 
Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant [ISIL] must include a 
campaign to counter digital media to degrade and defeat ISIL's 
social media propaganda and recruitment networks. This effort 
must include the empowering of moderate local voices and other 
messaging to challenge ISIL through a coordinated and 
integrated government-wide strategy. The Committee encourages 
the Department of Defense, in coordination with the Director of 
National Intelligence, the Department of State, the 
Broadcasting Board of Governors, and other appropriate public 
and private sector stakeholders, to develop and implement such 
a coordinated messaging plan to counter propaganda and 
recruitment media disseminated by ISIL and associated violent 
extremist groups.
    European Reassurance Initiative.--The President's budget 
request includes $789,300,000 in various appropriation accounts 
for European Reassurance Initiative [ERI] efforts in fiscal 
year 2016. The Committee strongly supports these initiatives to 
strengthen security cooperation with our allies and partners in 
light of continuing Russian aggression against Ukraine and the 
growing potential for provocation elsewhere in Europe. The 
Committee urges the Secretary of Defense to prioritize ERI 
activities to bolster cooperation with our North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization allies and reflect changing conditions on 
the ground. In addition, the Committee recommends continued 
cooperation with and support for Estonia, Lithuania, and 
Latvia, particularly for the Air Policing mission that ensures 
the sovereignty of Baltic airspace, at funding levels 
consistent with requirements identified by the Commander, 
European Command in consultation with our Baltic partners.

    Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund.--The Overseas 
Contingency Operations budget request includes $2,100,000,000 
for the Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund [CTPF], an increase 
of $1,300,000,000 over the amount appropriated for non-Syria 
CTPF activities in fiscal year 2015. The Committee remains 
supportive of increased engagement with partner nations to 
address terrorist threats in the Middle East and Africa; 
however, the Committee is concerned about the Department's 
ability to wisely execute $2,900,000,000 of CTPF funds in 
fiscal years 2015 through 2017 in addition to the hundreds of 
millions of dollars provided for other capacity building 
programs. Moreover, the Committee is concerned about effective 
oversight of the CTPF to ensure that activities are not 
duplicative and that there is an appropriate accounting of 
weapons and training provided. Therefore, the Committee 
recommendation reduces the request for CTPF by $1,100,000,000. 
Additionally, the Committee recommends transferring the 
remaining $1,000,000,000 to the Title IX Operation and 
Maintenance, Defense-wide account to be used under the 
authorities provided in Section 2282 of the Carl Levin and 
Howard P. ``Buck'' McKeon National Defense Authorization Act 
for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113-291; 128 Stat. 3314). The 
Committee understands that the Department is required to 
transfer CTPF funding to the Operation and Maintenance accounts 
for execution and intends to use Section 2282 authority for the 
provision of assistance to partner nations using transferred 
CTPF funds. The Committee believes that consolidating these 
efforts would enable better Congressional oversight of the 
majority of building partner capacity activities.

    The Committee recommends $7,688,599,000 for the procurement 
accounts. The overseas contingency operations funding supports 
our forces engaged in Operation Enduring Freedom and other 
contingency operations. The Committee recommends funding to 
replace combat losses and equipment left behind in theater, 
augment and upgrade equipment for deploying units, sustain 
munitions and other war consumables, and reset the units 
returning home to an equipment-ready status. Funding 
adjustments have been made in instances where the requirement 
was poorly defined, funding was requested ahead of need or 
program execution has been delayed.
