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 
7 

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 main-
8 

taining 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 mod-
9 

ernize 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 multiyear 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 
10 

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 dayto-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. 
11 

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.

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. 
14 

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. 
15 

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.

REPROGRAMMING GUIDANCE FOR OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

ACCOUNTS

The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit the 

Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414) for each of the fiscal year 

2016 appropriation accounts not later than 60 days after the enactment of this act. The Secretary of Defense is prohibited from executing any reprogramming or transfer of funds for any purpose 

other than originally appropriated until the aforementioned report 

is submitted to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. 

The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to use the normal prior approval reprogramming procedures to transfer funds in 

the services’ operation and maintenance accounts between O–1 

budget activities in excess of $15,000,000. In addition, the Secretary of Defense should follow prior approval reprogramming procedures for transfers in excess of $15,000,000 out of the following 

budget sub-activities: 

Army: 

Maneuver units 

Modular support brigades 

Land forces operations support 

Force readiness operations support

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 im-
30 

plementing 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 subactivity 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 
31 

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 
32 

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 
33 

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. 
34 

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 
35 

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 
36 

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 nonDOD 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, mostonboard 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 
43 

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

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 
48 

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. 
51 

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 
61 

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 defensewide 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 Administrationcontrolled airspace and International Civil Aviation Organizationcontrolled 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 delin-
62 

eated 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 
63 

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– 
67 

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 technologies that support 

this commonality. 

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 
74 

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 in- cludes $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, 
85 

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 esti-
101 

mated 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 nonnuclear 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 Ap-
102 

propriations 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 re-
103 

ported, 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.

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 air-
123 

space 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. 

Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle Competition.—The 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. 
130 

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.

Special Operations Command [SOCOM] Non-Standard Aviation.—The fiscal year 2016 President’s budget request includes 

$61,275,000 for the acquisition of three C–146A aircraft. The Committee is concerned with SOCOM’s divestment strategy of C–145A 

aircraft, purchased as recently as fiscal years 2012 and 2013, and 

notes that significant investments have been made to upgrade the 

existing C–145A fleet. The Committee reduces the fiscal year 2016 

request by $50,275,000. In addition, the Committee directs the 

Commander of SOCOM to report on the divestment and acquisition 

strategy for the entire non-standard aviation fleet and provide this 

report to the congressional defense committees not later than 180 

days after enactment of this act. 

Rebreather Technology.—The Committee is aware of new underwater rebreather technology for Naval Special Warfare units. If 

proven, this technology could increase safety for combat divers as 

well as increase diver endurance while reducing maintenance associated with older carbon dioxide canisters. The Committee encourages the Commander of Special Operations Command to test and 

validate the utility of this new technology. 

MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY

AEGIS Ballistic Missile Defense [BMD] and SM–3 Block IB Interceptor.—The fiscal year 2016 budget request includes $558,916,000 

for the procurement and installation of AEGIS BMD upgrades and 

SM–3 Block IB interceptors. The Committee recommends the establishment of distinct funding lines for each effort and transfers 

funds requested for AEGIS BMD upgrades to a separate line. The 

Committee directs the Director, MDA to follow this budget structure in future budget submissions. Further, based on Combatant 

Command requirements and continued concerns with the Department’s Destroyer modernization strategy, the Committee recommends an additional $37,600,000 only for ballistic missile defense upgrades of two Flight II DDG 51 destroyers in fiscal year 

2016.

Additional Funding.—The Committee recognizes the critical role 

that the Defense Production Act [DPA] title III program serves in 

strengthening the U.S. defense industrial base and believes that 

this work is in the national interest. Therefore, the Committee increases funding for DPA by $30,000,000 over the budget request. 

The Committee directs that the additional funding be competitively 

awarded to new initiatives and priority consideration should be 

given to completion of DPA projects initiated in prior years. Furthermore, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense 

(Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics) to notify the congressional 

defense committees 30 days prior to any obligation or expenditure 

of these funds. 
(148) 

TITLE IV 

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION 

Funds appropriated under this title provide the resources required to conduct a program of research, development, test and 

evaluation, including research in basic science, applied research, 

advanced technology development, demonstration and validation, 

engineering and manufacturing development, and operational systems development. 

The President’s fiscal year 2016 budget requests a total of 

$69,784,963,000 for research, development, test and evaluation appropriations. 

SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION

The Committee recommends research, development, test and 

evaluation appropriations totaling $70,324,687,000 for fiscal year 

2016. This is $539,724,000 above the budget estimate. 

Committee recommended research, development, test and evaluation appropriations for fiscal year 2016 are summarized below:

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 defensewide 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 Appropria-
149 

tions 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. 

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION OVERVIEW

Basic Research.—The fiscal year 2016 budget request includes $2,088,929,000 for basic research in Research, Development, Test 

and Evaluation for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Department of 

Defense. This amount is $188,759,000 below the below fiscal year 

2015 enacted level. The Committee believes that further investment in basic research must continue. Basic research is the foundation of innovative breakthroughs that are critical to maintaining 

the Nation’s future technological edge. Investments in basic research not only provide advances in technology for our military 

men and women but also provide an important incubator for national labs and academic research institutions. These investments 

also encourage partnerships and collaboration with industry. In 

order to keep pace with the global challenges to come, the Committee believes that additional funding should be allocated to Federal research. Therefore, the Committee recommends 

$2,317,429,000 for basic research, an increase of $228,500,000 over 

the 2016 budget request and a $39,741,000 increase over the fiscal 

year 2015 enacted level. 

Alternative Energy Research.—The Committee continues to support the fiscal and operational value of investing in alternative energy research. The recommendation includes an additional 

$75,000,000 for Army, Navy and Air Force research and development to continue research of promising alternative energy technologies, such as renewable energies, alternative fuels, and energy 

efficiencies. The Committee encourages the services to focus on the 

ability of platforms, installations, and personnel to operate with a 

diverse mix of fuels. 

Solar Research in Dry-Dust Areas.—The Committee supports efforts by the Department of Defense to become more energy efficient. These efforts have demonstrated cost savings and are an important part of the 2010 and 2015 Quadrennial Defense Reviews 

and the Department of Defense’s Operational Energy Strategy. Renewable energy, including solar, is an important part of these efforts. Last year, the Army broke ground on its largest solar energy 

plant at Fort Huachuca in Arizona. Covering 155 acres, the plant 

is projected to provide not less than 25 percent of the Fort’s electricity. The Committee believes solar initiatives are also important 

for overseas operations, particularly in the Middle East and Africa, 

where in country supplies are unreliable and large amounts of en-
150 

ergy often need to be transported to theater. However, dry-dust 

problems can prevent the optimal use of solar energy in some 

areas. Therefore, the Committee urges the Department of Defense 

to continue research into the use of solar energy in dry-dust regions.

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. 
157 

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 
166 

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. 
167 

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 11⁄2 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 indus-
168 

trial 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. There-
169 

fore, 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 
170 

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 
178 

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 
179 

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 
180 

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] ContinuousTrail 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 auton-
189 

omy 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 de-
190 

veloped 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 livefire 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 capa-
191 

bility. 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], DefenseWide 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 
192 

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 
193 

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 [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

Restoration of Fiscal Year 2015 Reductions.—The Committee was 

dismayed to find the fiscal year 2016 budget restored all of the con-
198 

gressional 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 subactivity 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. 
199 

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. 
200 

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, nonopioid pain management, orthopedics, pancreatitis, Parkinson’s, 

pathogen-inactivated dried plasma, polycystic kidney disease, posttraumatic osteoarthritis, psychotropic medications, pulmonary fibrosis, reconstructive transplantation, respiratory health, Rett syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, sleep disorders, spinal 

cord injury, tinnitus, tuberculosis, tuberous sclerosis complex, vac-
201 

cine 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 
202 

(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. 
203 

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 postmortem 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 
204 

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. 
205 

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 ad-
206 

dressing 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 
207 

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 posttraumatic 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. 
208 

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 serv-
209 

ices 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. 
210 

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. 
213 

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.

TITLE IX 

OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE—MILITARY

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $86,868,252,000 

for operations related to overseas contingency 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 obliga-
222 

tions, 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 
233 

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.

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
