management category of the Department of Defense. 

(b) ELEMENTS.—In conducting the study required by subsection

(1) identify various options for deploying units of the 

Selected Reserve of the Ready Reserve that otherwise use military technicians through use of a combination of active duty 

personnel, reserve component personnel, State civilian 

employees, and Federal civilian employees in a manner that 

meets mission requirements without harming unit readiness; 

(2) identify various means for the management by the 

Department of the transition of military technicians to a system 

that relies on traditional personnel categories of active duty 

personnel, reserve component personnel, and civilian personnel, 

and for the management of any effects of that transition on 

the pay and benefits of current military technicians (including 

means for mitigating or avoiding such effects in the course 

of such transition); 
H. R. 1540—101 

(3) determine whether military technicians who are 

employed at the commencement of the transition described 

in paragraph (2) should remain as technicians, whether with 

or without a military status, until separation or retirement, 

rather than transitioned to such a traditional personnel category; 

(4) identify and take into account the unique needs of 

the National Guard in the management and use of military 

technicians;

as a result of the transition described in paragraph (2),

associated with military and civil service retirement obligations;

for appropriate legislative and administrative action to implement the termination;

and long-term viability of the military technician as a distinct 

personnel management category that the Secretary shall specify 

for purposes of the study; and

(c) REPORT.—Not later than one year after the date of the

the Secretary considers appropriate. 

Subtitle C—General Service Authorities 

SEC. 521. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE UNIQUE NATURE, DEMANDS, 

AND HARDSHIPS OF MILITARY SERVICE. 

It is the sense of Congress that— 

(1) section 8 (clauses 12, 13, and 14) of Article I of the 

Constitution of the United States commits exclusively to Congress the powers to raise and support armies, provide and 

maintain a Navy, and make rules for the government and 

regulation of the land and naval forces; 

(2) there is no constitutional right to serve in the Armed 

Forces; 

(3) pursuant to the powers conferred by section 8 of article 

I of the Constitution of the United States, it lies within the 

discretion of the Congress to establish qualifications for and 

conditions of service in the Armed Forces; 

(4) the primary purpose of the Armed Forces is to prepare 

for and to prevail in combat should the need arise; 

(5) the conduct of military operations requires members 

of the Armed Forces to make extraordinary sacrifices, including 

the ultimate sacrifice, in order to provide for the common 

defense; 
H. R. 1540—102 

(6) success in combat requires military units that are 

characterized by high morale, good order and discipline, and 

unit cohesion; 

(7) one of the most critical elements in combat capability 

is unit cohesion, that is, the bonds of trust among individual 

members of the Armed Forces that make the combat effectiveness of a military unit greater than the sum of the combat 

effectiveness of individual unit members; 

(8) military life is fundamentally different from civilian 

life in that— 

(A) the extraordinary responsibilities of the Armed 

Forces, the unique conditions of military service, and the 

critical role of unit cohesion require that the military 

community, while subject to civilian control, exist as a 

specialized society; and 

(B) the military society is characterized by its own 

laws, rules, customs, and traditions, including numerous 

restrictions on personal behavior, that would not be acceptable in civilian society; 

(9) the standards of conduct for members of the Armed 

Forces regulate a member’s life for 24 hours each day beginning 

at the moment the member enters military status and not 

ending until that person is discharged or otherwise separated 

from the Armed Forces; 

(10) those standards of conduct, including the Uniform 

Code of Military Justice, apply to a member of the Armed 

Forces at all times that the member has a military status, 

whether the member is on base or off base, and whether the 

member is on duty or off duty; 

(11) the pervasive application of the standards of conduct 

is necessary because members of the Armed Forces must be 

ready at all times for worldwide deployment to a combat 

environment; 

(12) the worldwide deployment of United States military 

forces, the international responsibilities of the United States, 

and the potential for involvement of the Armed Forces in actual 

combat routinely make it necessary for members of the Armed 

Forces involuntarily to accept living conditions and working 

conditions that are often spartan, primitive, and characterized 

by forced intimacy with little or no privacy; and 

(13) the Armed Forces must maintain personnel policies 

that are intended to recruit and retain only those persons 

whose presence in the Armed Forces serves the needs of the

‘‘(2) UNDER 16 YEARS.—In a prosecution under this section, 

it need not be proven that the accused knew that the other 

person engaging in the sexual act or lewd act had not attained 

the age of 16 years, but it is a defense in a prosecution under 

subsection (b) (sexual assault of a child) or subsection (c) (sexual

to abuse, humiliate, or degrade any person, or to arouse 

or gratify the sexual desire of any person;

security of our populations’’, the NATO alliance will, ‘‘develop

laundering concern. 

(2) In that finding, the Financial Crimes Enforcement Network of the Department of the Treasury wrote, ‘‘The Central 

Bank of Iran, which regulates Iranian banks, has assisted 

designated Iranian banks by transferring billions of dollars 

to these banks in 2011. In mid-2011, the CBI transferred several billion dollars to designated banks, including Saderat, 

Mellat, EDBI and Melli, through a variety of payment schemes. 

In making these transfers, the CBI attempted to evade sanctions by minimizing the direct involvement of large international banks with both CBI and designated Iranian banks.’’. 

(3) On November 22, 2011, the Under Secretary of the 

Treasury for Terrorism and Financial Intelligence, David 

Cohen, wrote, ‘‘Treasury is calling out the entire Iranian 

banking sector, including the Central Bank of Iran, as posing 

terrorist financing, proliferation financing, and money laundering risks for the global financial system.’’.

MONEY LAUNDERING CONCERN.—The financial sector of Iran, 

including the Central Bank of Iran, is designated as a primary 

money laundering concern for purposes of section 5318A of title

financial institutions resulting from the illicit activities of the 

Government of Iran, including its pursuit of nuclear weapons, support for international terrorism, and efforts to deceive responsible 

financial institutions and evade sanctions. 

(c) FREEZING OF ASSETS OF IRANIAN FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS.— 

The President shall, pursuant to the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701 et seq.), block and prohibit
