15 (1) Military families serve alongside their mem16 ber of the Armed Forces, enduring hardships, lend17 ing support, and contributing to the member’s ca18 reer. These family members endure frequent moves, 

19 long periods of separation, and other unique hard20 ships associated with military life.

23 on forfeits retirement benefit eligibility due to a

179 

•S 1376 PCS

1 (3) When a retirement-eligible member forfeits 

2 retirement eligibility, that member’s innocent family 

3 members lose the security of benefits they had 

4 planned for and helped earn. 

5 (4) Military juries may choose to impose un6 justly light sentences on convicted members out of 

7 concern for the innocent family members when a 

8 just sentence would require stripping the member of 

9 retirement eligibility. 

10 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con11 gress— 

12 (1) that military juries should not face the dif13 ficult choice between imposing a fair sentence or 

14 protecting the benefits of a member of the Armed 

15 Forces for the sake of innocent family members; 

16 (2) that innocent military family members of 

17 retirement-eligible members should not be made to 

18 forgo benefits they have sacrificed for and helped to 

19 earn; and 

20 (3) to welcome the opportunity to work with the 

21 Department of Defense to develop the necessary 

22 laws and regulations to improve the military justice 

23 system and to protect the benefits that military fam24 ilies have helped earn.

4 THE FULL RANGE OF DEPARTMENT OF DE5 FENSE MANPOWER WORLDWIDE IN DECI6 SIONS ON THE PROPER MIX OF MILITARY, CI7 VILIAN, AND CONTRACTOR PERSONNEL TO 

8 ACCOMPLISH THE NATIONAL DEFENSE 

9 STRATEGY. 

10 It is the sense of Congress that, as the Department 

11 of Defense makes decisions on military end strength re12 quests, proper sizing of the civilian workforce, and the 

13 proper mix of these sources of manpower with contractor 

14 personnel to accomplish the National Defense Strategy, 

15 the Secretary of Defense should consider the full range 

16 of manpower available to the Secretary in all locations 

17 worldwide in order to arrive at the proper mix and size 

18 of manpower to accomplish that Strategy without arbi19 trarily protecting or exempting any particular group or lo20 cation of manpower. 

21 SEC. 1048. SENSE OF SENATE ON THE UNITED STATES MA22 RINE CORPS. 

23 (a) FINDINGS.—The Senate makes the following 

24 findings: 


smartinez on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with BILLS
535 

•S 1376 PCS

1 (1) As senior United States statesmen Dr. 

2 Henry Kissinger wrote in testimony submitted to the 

3 Committee on Armed Services of the Senate on Jan4 uary 29, 2015, ‘‘[t]he United States has not faced 

5 a more diverse and complex array of crises since the 

6 end of the Second World War.’’. 

7 (2) The rise of committed, non-state forces and 

8 near peer competitors has introduced destabilizing 

9 pressures around the globe. 

10 (3) Advances in information and weapons tech11 nology have reduced the time available for the 

12 United States to prepare for a respond to crises 

13 against either known or unknown threats. 

14 (4) The importance of the maritime domain 

15 cannot be overstated. As acknowledged in the March 

16 2015 Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard mari17 time strategy entitled ‘‘A Cooperative Strategy for 

18 21st Century Seapower: Forward, Engaged, Ready’’, 

19 ‘‘[o]ceans are the lifeblood of the interconnected 

20 global community. . .90 percent of trade by volume 

21 across the oceans. Approximately 70 percent of the 

22 world’s population lives within 100 miles of the 

23 coastline’’. 

24 (5) In this global security environment, it is 

25 critical that the United States possess a maritime 


smartinez on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with BILLS
536 

•S 1376 PCS

1 forces whose mission and ethos is readiness, a fight 

2 tonight force, forward deployed, that can respond 

3 immediately to emergent crises across the full range 

4 of military operations around the globe either from 

5 the sea or home station. 

6 (6) The need for such forces was recognized by 

7 the 82nd Congress during the Korean War, when it 

8 mandated a core mission for the Nation’s leanest 

9 force, the Marine Corps, to be most ready when the 

10 nation is least ready. 

11 (7) In recognition of this continued need and 

12 the wisdom of the 82nd Congress, the Senate reaf13 firms section 5063 of title 10, United States Code, 

14 uniquely charging the United States Marine Corps 

15 with this responsibility. 

16 (b) SENSE OF SENATE.—It is the sense of the Senate 

17 that— 

18 (1) the Marine Corps, within the Department of 

19 the Navy, should remain the Nation’s expeditionary, 

20 crisis response force; and 

21 (2) as provided in section 5063 of title 10, 

22 United States Code, the Marine Corps should— 

23 (A) be organized to include no less than 

24 three combat divisions and three air wings, and 


smartinez on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with BILLS
537 

•S 1376 PCS

1 such other land combat, aviation, and other 

2 services as may be organic to it; 

3 (B) be organized, trained, and equipped to 

4 provide fleet marine forces of combined arms, 

5 together with supporting air components, for 

6 service with the fleet in the seizure or defense 

7 of advanced naval bases and for the conduct of 

8 such land operations as may be essential to the 

9 prosecution of a naval campaign; and 

10 (C) provide detachments and organizations 

11 for service on armed vessels of the Navy, pro12 vide security detachments for the protection of 

13 naval property at naval stations and bases, and 

14 perform such other duties as the President may 

15 direct; 

16 (D) develop, in coordination with the Army 

17 and the Air Force, those phases of amphibious 

18 operations that pertain to the tactics, tech19 niques, and equipment used by landing forces; 

20 and 

21 (E) be responsible, in accordance with the 

22 integrated joint mobilization plans, for the ex23 pansion of peacetime components of the Marine 

24 Corps to meet the needs of war.

2 stated on May 2, 2014, that ‘‘[t]oday, America’s 

3 GDP is smaller than the combined GDPs of our 27 

4 NATO allies. But America’s defense spending is 

5 three times our Allies’ combined defense spending. 

6 Over time, this lopsided burden threatens NATO’s 

7 integrity, cohesion, and capability, and ultimately 

8 both European and transatlantic security’’. 

9 (3) Former North Atlantic Treaty Organization 

10 Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen stated 

11 on July 3, 2014, that ‘‘[d]uring the last five years, 

12 Russia has increased defense spending by 50 per13 cent, while NATO allies on average have decrease 

14 their defense spending by 20 percent. That is not

4 Treaty Organization allies towards meeting the de5 fense spending goals set out at the Wales Summit; 

6 (3) some North Atlantic Treaty Organization 

7 allies have already taken positive steps to reverse de8 clines in defense spending and should continue to be 

9 supported in those efforts; and 

10 (4) thoughtful and coordinated defense invest11 ments by European allies in military capabilities 

12 would add deterrence value to the posture of the 

13 North Atlantic Treaty Organization against Russian 

14 aggression and terrorist organizations and more ap15 propriately balance the share of Atlantic defense

19 TO THE ASIA-PACIFIC REGION. 

20 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find21 ings: 

22 (1) The United States has a longstanding na23 tional interest in maintaining security in the Asia24 Pacific region. 


smartinez on DSK4TPTVN1PROD with BILLS
656 

•S 1376 PCS

1 (2) The Asia-Pacific region is home to the 

2 world’s three largest economies, four most populous 

3 countries, and five largest militaries. The Asia4 Pacific’s rapid economic growth and mounting secu5 rity tensions require a renewed focus from the 

6 United States on the region to maintain security, ex7 pand prosperity, and support common values. 

8 (3) In 2011, President Barack Obama an9 nounced that the United States would rebalance to 

10 the Asia-Pacific. Since then, there have been a num11 ber of actions taken to strengthen the United States 

12 posture and relationships in the region, including the 

13 negotiation of the Enhanced Defense Cooperation 

14 Agreement with the Philippines, the distributed 

15 laydown of the United States Marines Corps in the 

16 Pacific, the rotational stationing of the Littoral 

17 Combat Ship in Singapore, and a new comprehen18 sive partnership with Vietnam on defense and secu19 rity. 

20 (4) Leaders in regional states remain concerned 

21 about a variety of regional military challenges. These 

22 include China’s military modernization and its in23 creasingly assertive actions in the East and South 

24 China Sea and North Korea’s continued belligerence

1 nology. United States allies and partners are looking 

2 to the United States to demonstrate its willingness 

3 and ability to maintain regional peace and security 

4 by fully implementing the rebalance to the Asia-Pa5 cific. 

6 (5) In April 2015, the Commander of the 

7 United States Pacific Command Admiral Samuel 

8 Locklear warned, ‘‘Our relative superiority I think 

9 has declined and continues to decline. . .we rely 

10 very heavily on power projection, which means we 

11 have to be able to get the forces forward. . .’’. Ad12 miral Locklear also noted, ‘‘Any significant force 

13 structure moves out of my AOR in the middle of a 

14 rebalance would have to be understood and have to 

15 be explained because it would counterintuitive to a 

16 rebalance to move significant forces in another direc17 tion.’’ 

18 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con19 gress that— 

20 (1) in order to maintain the credibility of the 

21 United States rebalance, it is vital that the United 

22 States continue to shift forces to the Asia-Pacific re23 gion to strengthen the ability of the United States 

24 Armed Forces to project power to shape the choices

1 of regional states and to deter, and if necessary de2 fend, against hostile military actions; 

3 (2) United States allies and partners in the 

4 Asia-Pacific region, as well as potential adversaries, 

5 would take note of any withdrawal of forces from the 

6 Asia-Pacific theater; 

7 (3) any withdrawal of United States forces 

8 from Outside the Continental United States 

9 (‘‘OCONUS’’) Asia-Pacific region or from United 

10 States Pacific Command would therefore seriously 

11 undermine the rebalance; and 

12 (4) in order to properly implement United 

13 States rebalance policy, United States forces under 

14 the operational control of the United States Pacific 

15 Command should be increased consistent with com16 mitments already made by the Department of De17 fense and aligned with the requirement to maintain 

18 a balance of military power that favors the United 

19 States and United States allies in the Asia-Pacific 

20 region.

3 continue to make available to Taiwan such defense 

4 articles and services as may be necessary to enable

8 and asymmetric measures to balance the growing 

9 military capabilities of the People’s Republic of 

10 China, including fast-attack craft, coastal-defense 

11 cruise missiles, rapid-runway repair systems, offen12 sive mines, and submarines optimized for defense of 

13 the Taiwan straits; 

14 (3) the military forces of Taiwan should be per15 mitted to participate in bilateral training activities 

16 hosted by the United States that increase credible 

17 deterrent capabilities of Taiwan, particularly those 

18 that emphasize the defense of Taiwan Island from 

19 missile attack, maritime blockade, and amphibious 

20 invasion by the People’s Republic of China; 

21 (4) toward that goal, Taiwan should be encour22 aged to participate in exercises that include realistic

1 (1) On July 31, 2014, the Department of State 

2 released its annual report entitled ‘‘Adherence to 

3 and Compliance With Arms Control, Nonprolifera4 tion, and Disarmament Agreements and Commit5 ments’’, which included the finding that ‘‘[t]he 

6 United States has determined that the Russian Fed7 eration is in violation of its obligations under the 

8 INF Treaty not to possess, produce, or flight-test a 

9 ground-launched cruise missile (GLCM) with a 

10 range capability of 500 km to 5,500 km, or to pos11 sess or produce launchers of such missiles’’.

14 its violations of the INF Treaty since 2013, and the 

15 Russian Federation has failed to respond to those 

16 efforts in any way. 

17 (3) The Commander of the United States Euro18 pean Command, and Supreme Allied Commander of 

19 Europe, General Philip Breedlove stated that ‘‘[a] 

20 weapon capability that violates the I.N.F., that is in21 troduced into the greater European land mass, is
