BACKGROUND 

PURPOSE OF THE BILL

This bill makes appropriations for the military functions of the 

Department of Defense for the period October 1, 2014, through 

September 30, 2015. 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, 2014, and concluded them on June 18, 2014, after 11 separate sessions. The subcommittee heard testimony from representatives of the Department of Defense, other Federal agencies, and 

representatives of organizations. 

SUMMARY OF THE BILL

The Committee recommendation of $542,771,568,000 includes 

funding to develop, maintain, and equip the military forces of the 

United States and for other purposes in nonemergency appropriations. 

The fiscal year 2015 budget request for activities funded in the 

Department of Defense appropriations bill totals $544,122,025,000 

in new budget authority, including $59,868,030,000 in contingency 

funding for the Departments of State and Defense and 

$514,000,000 in mandatory spending. 

In fiscal year 2014, the Congress appropriated $565,093,629,000 

for activities funded in this bill. This amount includes 

$480,066,687,000 in nonemergency appropriations and 

$85,026,942,000 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 $22,322,061,000 

below the amount provided in fiscal year 2014 and $1,350,457,000 

below the amount requested for fiscal year 2015.

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. 2410, the 

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, 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

In fiscal year 2015, for purposes of the Balanced Budget and 

Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law 99–177), as 

amended, the term ‘‘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, 2015 and the P–1 and R–1 budget justification 

documents as subsequently modified by congressional action. The 

following exception to the above definition shall apply: for the military personnel and operation and maintenance accounts the term 

‘‘program, project and activity’’ is defined as the appropriations accounts contained in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act. 

In carrying out any Presidential sequestration, the Department 

of Defense and agencies shall conform to the definition for ‘‘program, project and activity’’ set forth above. 
7 

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 fiscal year 2008 Department of Defense Appropriations bill (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, 2008. The dollar threshold for reprogramming funds shall remain at $15,000,000 for operation and 

maintenance; $20,000,000 for procurement; and $10,000,000 for research, development, test and evaluation. 

In addition, 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 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, 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 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 statement. 

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 several are 

for programs that the Committee believes are necessary to improve 

defense even though they have not been included under the request 

formulated by the Department of Defense. For instance, the Committee provides additional research funding in the following areas: 

medical research, basic research, alternative energy, advanced metals and materials, military burn treatment, and traumatic brain injury and psychological health. The Committee believes additional 

research funding is warranted in these and other areas to ensure 

that the Department of Defense continues to pursue technological 

advances that are critical to our national defense. The Committee 

has also provided funding for programs that are chronically underfunded, such as range conservation; facility sustainment, restoration, and modernization; corrosion; and Defense Production Act 

purchases. The Committee directs that funds for these initiatives 
8 

are to be competitively awarded or provided to programs that have 

received competitive awards in the past. 

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. While great strides have been made over 

the past 50 years to reduce tobacco use in the U.S. military, use 

among Armed Forces servicemembers remains higher than in the 

population as a whole. According to a 2011 Department of Defense 

health behavior survey, 24 percent of servicemembers smoke, compared to 20 percent of civilians. The gap in smokeless tobacco use 

is even higher: according to the same Department survey, 12.8 percent of servicemembers used smokeless tobacco products, including 

electronic cigarettes, compared to 2.3 percent of the civilian population. Survey data show this usage is much higher among junior 

enlisted servicemembers than officers. A 2008 DOD study found 

that one in three military smokers began doing so after enlisting. 

The Institute of Medicine in 2009 noted that tobacco use costs the 

Department more than $1,600,000,000 annually in tobacco-related 

medical care, increased hospitalizations, and lost days of work. In 

addition to these costs, smoking undermines military readiness by 

compromising physical fitness in the short-term, and causing or 

contributing to serious health problems, such as lung cancer and 

delayed wound healing, in the long-term. 

The Department of Defense has affirmed the goal of a tobaccofree 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. However, inexpensive, readily available 

tobacco products remain a major driver of tobacco use, just as in 

the general population. In recognition of this, the Navy has led efforts to curb tobacco use and promote evidenced-based tobacco prevention strategies, such as eliminating the sale of tobacco in Navy 

commissaries and ending discounts on tobacco prices in Navy and 

Marine Corps exchanges in 2012. In 2012, the Air Force also set 

a goal of becoming tobacco-free. Earlier this year, the Secretary of 

Defense began a comprehensive review of the Department’s tobacco 

policies. 

The Committee applauds these efforts and encourages the Department to continue to advance rapidly toward a tobacco-free military. In support of these goals, the Committee includes a provision 

directing the elimination of the price subsidy provided to tobacco 

products at military exchanges. This reform directs the Department to implement a consistent, verifiable price benchmark for tobacco products at exchanges, as recent surveys by the National Institutes of Health indicate that Army and Air Force exchange 

prices for cigarettes in practice to be between 14–25 percent lower 

than market price, despite Department of Defense Instruction 

1330.9, which allows only a 5 percent discount. 

SEXUAL ASSAULT

The Committee remains extremely concerned with the level of 

sexual assault in the military. The most recent report from the De-
9 

partment found cases of reported sexual assaults increased 50 percent over the past year. The Committee applauds the Department 

initiative to rescreen and retrain recruiters and sexual assault prevention officers but believes more needs to be done to create a culture throughout the military in which sexual assault is not tolerated. 

The Committee also believes that victims of sexual assault 

should not be subjected to further alienation during the investigation and prosecution of their case. In January 2013, the Air Force 

began a Special Victims’ Counsel pilot program that provides victims with a trained military lawyer to provide legal assistance and 

support as a case makes its way through the often arduous criminal justice process. The Committee commends the Air Force on this 

program and sees it as a positive step in giving victims the voice 

and support they deserve. The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 

2014 included $25,000,000 for the Department to implement the 

Special Victims’ Counsel program across all the services. In order 

to build on this progress, the Committee includes an additional 

$25,000,000 in fiscal year 2015 for the continuation and expansion 

of the Special Victims’ Counsel program. 

ISRAELI MISSILE DEFENSE PROGRAMS

The fiscal year 2015 budget request includes $272,775,000 for 

Israeli missile defense programs within the Missile Defense Agency 

[MDA] budget, including $175,972,000 for the procurement of Iron 

Dome, which concludes a previously made U.S. commitment to provide $680,000,000 from fiscal years 2012 to 2015 for the Iron Dome 

program in response to a request from the Government of Israel. 

The Committee continues its strong, bi-partisan support for Israeli 

missile defense programs to ensure the fulfillment of Israel’s missile defense needs and retention of Israel’s qualitative military 

edge. The Committee notes the long-standing and successful contributions of U.S. industry towards meeting these goals, to include 

co-production of Arrow and David’s Sling components; and, beginning in fiscal year 2014, co-production of Iron Dome. 

Following submission of the fiscal year 2015 budget submission, 

the funding requirement for Iron Dome increased, and recommends 

an additional $175,000,000, which brings U.S. investment in Iron 

Dome production since fiscal year 2011 to over $1,000,000,000. The 

Committee notes that the Iron Dome program, which was developed by Israel solely with Israeli funding, is not subject to conditions of other joint Israeli-U.S. cooperative missile defense programs, but rather is governed by a Memorandum of Agreement 

signed in March 2014. Therefore, the Committee directs that funds 

appropriated in fiscal year 2015 for Iron Dome be subject to the 

terms and provisions of this Memorandum of Agreement, as 

amended to reflect an agreed-upon implementation plan between 

MDA and the Israeli Missile Defense Organization [IMDO]. 

In addition, the Committee directs that not more than 

$175,972,000 may be obligated or expended for Iron Dome in fiscal 

year 2015 until IMDO provides additional justification and documentation to the United States Department of Defense and MDA 

containing a timeline for Iron Dome expenditure of funds included 

in the fiscal year 2015 budget request and any additional funds 
10 

recommended in fiscal year 2015, as well as a delivery schedule for 

items funded with these and prior year funds; and a report to MDA 

documenting full and complete delivery by Israeli industry and acceptance by U.S. industry suppliers of all technical data packages 

required for U.S. co-production of Iron Dome. Further, this report 

shall document that all export licenses required to enable the release of classified technical data packages from the U.S. prime contractor to U.S. subcontractors are completed; a common cost model 

of Iron Dome components—to be jointly developed and agreed upon 

by MDA and IMDO—that includes recurring and non-recurring engineering costs; actual Iron Dome production costs beginning in fiscal year 2013; and component lead-times and delivery schedules for 

each fiscal year thereafter. 

The Committee expects that to fully satisfy the requirements listed above, the Government of Israel will provide to MDA copies of 

signed and ratified contracts, subcontracts, and teaming arrangements between Israeli and U.S. industry for all Iron Dome co-production efforts. The Committee understands that moving forward 

with Iron Dome co-production will not negatively impact development, test and production schedules of the Arrow and David’s Sling 

programs, which the Committee continues to fully support. Therefore, the Committee recommends an additional $173,800,000 for 

the Arrow and David’s Sling programs. 

CVN 73 REFUELING AND COMPLEX OVERHAUL [RCOH]

The fiscal year 2015 budget request includes no funds to continue 

the refueling and complex overhaul of CVN 73, USS George Washington. The Committee notes that $329,700,000 has previously 

been appropriated in the Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy account for the CVN 73 RCOH to support the aircraft carrier’s drydock induction in September 2016. With the fiscal year 2015 budget submission, the Navy announced its intention to make a decision 

with the fiscal year 2016 budget submission as to whether to refuel 

or prematurely retire CVN 73. The Committee understands that 

deferring this decision creates significant programmatic and operational schedule delays for the RCOH. 

CVN 73 has more than 20 years of service life remaining, and 

the Navy cannot meet all U.S. combatant commanders’ requirements with the current aircraft carrier fleet. Furthermore, U.S. law 

requires the Navy to maintain not less than 11 operational aircraft 

carries. The Committee notes that contrary to its previously stated 

position, the Navy has now decided to immediately continue CVN 

73 RCOH with previously appropriated funds. The Committee fully 

supports this decision. Therefore, the Committee recommendation 

includes an additional $849,800,000 in the Navy’s military personnel, operation and maintenance, shipbuilding, and other procurement accounts to fully fund the fiscal year 2015 requirement 

for CVN 73 RCOH, which will mitigate the schedule delays caused 

by the Navy’s inaction. The Committee expects the Navy to include 

all remaining funds required to complete the CVN 73 RCOH in the 

Future Years Defense Program accompanying the fiscal year 2016 

budget submission. 
11 

SHIP MODERNIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUSTAINMENT FUND [SMOSF]

The fiscal year 2015 budget request includes a new proposal by 

the Navy to remove 11 Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruisers 

and three amphibious dock landing ships from the operational fleet 

and lay them up for several years under a phased modernization 

plan. This proposal does not conform with direction provided in the 

Fiscal Year 2013 National Defense Authorization Act, the Fiscal 

Year 2014 National Defense Authorization Act, the Department of 

Defense Appropriations Act, 2013, and the Department of Defense 

Appropriations Act, 2014. The Committee notes that the Navy’s 

proposal removes more Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruisers 

and amphibious dock landing ships from the operational fleet than 

previously proposed, relies on the congressional defense committees 

providing additional financial management and acquisition authorities, and the Navy’s budget plan does not contain full funding in 

the outyears for this proposal. 

The Committee does not support the Navy’s proposal due to concerns over the duration of the proposed lay-up period for several of 

the ships, the additional authorities required, and severe doubts as 

to whether the Navy would execute the phased modernization plan 

as proposed given the volatility in Navy budgets in recent years. 

Further, the Committee is perturbed by the Navy’s disregard for 

congressional direction provided for two consecutive years. Therefore, the Committee recommendation denies the Navy’s proposal 

and instead recommends a modified modernization plan that conforms with the Navy’s proposal to expand the application of 

SMOSF funds to four additional Ticonderoga-class guided missile 

cruisers and an additional amphibious dock landing ship, while 

modifying the induction schedule for the SMOSF ships’ modernization. The Committee notes that the SMOSF contains over 

$1,700,000,000, which is sufficient to fund this plan in the nearterm and expects the Navy to budget for additional funds required 

in the mid- and long-term. 

ENGAGEMENT ON ARCTIC ISSUES

The Committee notes that the physical changes in the Arctic are 

unprecedented in both their rate and scope of change. In addition 

to the economic and social concerns, numerous studies, including 

the 2010 and 2014 Quadrennial Defense Reviews and the U.S. 

Navy Arctic Roadmap, have documented the significant impact that 

a rapidly changing Arctic has on national security, to include an increasing number of vessels expected to be operating in the Arctic 

Ocean in the summer and fall months. 

The Arctic Council has grown significantly in recent years with 

increased influence, visibility, and membership. As of May 2013, 

China, Japan, Singapore, India, the Republic of Korea, and Italy 

have been granted observer status. In 2015, the United States will 

assume its 2-year Chair of the Arctic Council, succeeding Canada 

in this role. In view of the increasing significance and importance 

of the Arctic Council, and the United States’ upcoming leadership 

in this body, the Committee urges the Secretary of Defense to continue to examine ways the Department can support engagement on 

Arctic issues, including funding for better Arctic Domain Aware-
12 

ness, mapping the U.S. Arctic waters, and enhanced observations 

and prediction of Arctic weather, ocean, and ice conditions. 

NATIONAL SECURITY IMPLICATIONS OF CLIMATE CHANGE

The Committee commends the Department for its ongoing review 

of the effect of sea-level rise, shifting climate zones and severe 

weather events on the Department’s bases worldwide. As the 2014 

Quadrennial Defense Review notes, ‘‘The impacts of climate change 

may increase the frequency, scale, and complexity of future missions, including defense support to civil authorities, while at the 

same time undermining the capacity of our domestic installations 

to support training activities.’’ In light of the potential operational 

risks, the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy is directed to provide a report to the congressional defense committees within 90 

days of enactment of this act identifying the most serious and likely climate-related security risks for each combatant command and 

the ways in which the combatant commands are integrating mitigation of these risks into their planning processes, including in the 

areas of humanitarian disaster relief, security cooperation, building 

partner capacity, and sharing best practices for mitigation of installation vulnerabilities. The report shall provide a description of the 

resources required for an effective response and the timeline of 

when those resources will be needed. 

CYBER SECURITY: ROLES OF FEDERAL RESEARCH ORGANIZATIONS

The Committee remains concerned about continued ambiguities 

in the roles and responsibilities of various government entities with 

regard to our Nation’s cyber defense. The Departments of Defense, 

Homeland Security, and Justice each have major roles to play in 

defining a cyber defense posture, as do State and local governments, academia, industry, and others. 

The Committee wishes to better understand the roles that can, 

or should, be played by Federally Funded Research and Development Centers [FFRDC], National Laboratories, University Affiliated Research Centers [UARC], the military service’s research laboratories, and similar organizations, all of which could provide substantial expertise in cyber security, but whose actions in this regard must be carefully coordinated to most efficiently utilize the resources available to address this difficult topic. 

The Committee directs the Department to brief congressional defense and intelligence committees on the Department’s governance 

construct to apportion, deconflict, and evaluate the cyber security 

research and development efforts among the Nation’s FFRDCs, National Laboratories, UARCs, military research laboratories, and 

similar organizations, as well as whether expanding relationships 

with these organizations is warranted. To the extent practical, this 

brief should also address cyber security areas in which the Department of Defense recognizes that the Departments of Homeland Security and Justice have the leading role. Finally, the Committee 

recognizes the contributions of the Department in working with the 

Council of Governors on forming a Joint Action Plan for State-Federal Unity of Effort on Cybersecurity and encourages the Department to continue its collaborative efforts. 
13 

CYBER RED TEAM CAPABILITIES

The identification of cyber vulnerabilities is critical to protecting 

the Nation from adversaries in the cyber domain and the Committee commends the Department’s efforts to enhance and develop 

cyber threat emulation capabilities through the use of cyber red 

teams. The Committee also supports efforts of the Department of 

Defense and U.S. Cyber Command to create a Cyber Mission Force 

consisting of several categories of cyber teams and urges the Department to consider recognizing a formal requirement for the expertise and competencies resident within cyber red teams. Moreover, the Committee is concerned that existing cyber red team capacity be maintained during the Cyber Mission Force transition to 

meet the increasing demand for cyber threat emulation, training, 

and skill development. Accordingly, the Department of Defense, 

Services, and National Guard shall not reduce cyber red team capacity or unit strength. In addition, the Committee directs the Department to brief the defense subcommittee, no later than 90 days 

after enactment of this act, regarding the current and future requirements for cyber red team capabilities and its initiatives to retain and enhance cyber red team capacity. 

DEFENSE CYBER TRAINING AND EDUCATION

The Committee understands that U.S. Cyber Command and 

other Department of Defense elements have made substantial 

progress in maturing the military’s plans to incorporate cyber requirements into training and doctrine. The Department’s 2011 

Strategy for Operating in Cyberspace stated that continued education and training will be hallmarks of the cyber workforce. The 

Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to report to congressional defense committees, within 180 days of the enactment of this 

act, on a plan for its cyber education program for officers and enlisted personnel. The report shall include definitions of military occupational specialties/rating specialties for each service along with 

the corresponding level of training, education, qualifications, and/ 

or certificates required for each specialty, covering the full continuum of professional development from initial entry training to 

senior service war colleges. 

CYBER RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT WITH UNIVERSITIES

The National Security Agency [NSA], in coordination with the 

Department of Homeland Security, currently sponsors the National 

Centers of Academic Excellence in Information Assurance Education and Information Assurance Research. Within the Information Systems Security Program [ISSP], the NSA conducts classified 

cyber-related research and development program through partnerships with certain universities. The Committee understands that 

these relationships with universities have proven productive. Accordingly, the Committee recommends an additional $7,500,000 to 

support these relationships with academia. 

AWARD AND INCENTIVE FEES

In 2006, the Government Accountability Office [GAO] reviewed 

50 programs and determined that between April 2006 and October 
14 

2010, the Department of Defense could save in excess of 

$450,000,000 by not offering contractors a second opportunity to 

win unearned fees, and save more than $68,000,000 by using more 

clearly defined determination criteria. After the Department of Defense updated its guidance, the GAO issued a follow-up report in 

May 2009 that highlighted where implementation of the new 

award/incentive fee guidance resulted in savings. The follow-up report also recommended that the Secretary of Defense further promote the application of the updated guidance. To better understand 

the extent to which the Department of Defense has implemented 

the updated guidance, the Committee directs the GAO to review 

the original 50 programs to determine the actual amount of unearned award/incentive fees that were saved. The Committee further directs the GAO to assess additional policy changes that could 

be implemented to guarantee that contractors are only awarded 

performance bonuses that they have earned. 

FIRE AND BUILDING SAFETY ACCORD

The Committee commends the Marine Corps Trademark and Licensing Office for adopting a requirement to abide by the Accord 

for Fire and Building Safety in Bangladesh. The Committee includes a general provision implementing this standard across all 

the services’ exchanges for garments produced by the exchanges’ 

private label brands and to the extent practicable, for garments 

provided by vendors and suppliers. 

The Committee includes a second general provision directing the 

trademark and licensing offices of the services to adopt a requirement that its licensees which manufacture in Bangladesh also become signatories to the Accord or otherwise abide by its conditions. 

Further, in order to better understand the magnitude of Department of Defense purchases from businesses worldwide which may 

have similar safety and labor violations, the Secretary of Defense 

is directed to provide annual reports, no later than March 1 of each 

year, to the congressional defense committees, which disclose all 

factories producing private label and direct-import garments sold in 

the commissary and exchange systems, including factory name, address, and brand(s), private label(s), licensee(s) or retail supplier(s) 

sourcing from that factory from the prior year. 

HUMAN RIGHTS VETTING

Section 8056 prohibits training, equipment, or other assistance 

for the members of a unit of a foreign security force if the Secretary 

of Defense has credible information that the unit has committed a 

gross violation of human rights. In a modification from current law, 

the Committee recommendation limits the exception in subsection 

(b) and broadens the waiver authority in subsection (c). Section 

8056 does not require, and the Committee does not expect, a unit 

or members of such unit to be vetted for eligibility to receive such 

training, equipment, or other assistance prior to the Secretary’s use 

of the waiver authority in subsection (c). 
15 

NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY REPORTS

The Committee directs the National Security Agency [NSA] to 

provide to the congressional intelligence committees, and the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, and the House Committee on the 

Judiciary, no later than 90 days after enactment of this act: 

—A report, unclassified to the greatest extent possible, setting 

forth: 

—For the last 5 years, on an annual basis, the number of 

records acquired by NSA as part of the bulk telephone 

metadata program authorized by the Foreign Intelligence 

Surveillance Court, pursuant to section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act, and the number of such records that have been 

reviewed by NSA personnel in response to a query of such 

records; and 

—To the extent possible, an estimate of the number of records 

of United States persons that have been acquired by NSA as 

part of the bulk telephone metadata program and the number of such records that have been reviewed by NSA personnel in response to a query. 

—A report, unclassified to the greatest extent possible, and with 

a classified annex if necessary, describing all NSA bulk collection activities, including when such activities began, the cost of 

such activities, what types of records have been collected in the 

past, what types of records are currently being collected, and 

any plans for future bulk collection. 

—A report, unclassified to the greatest extent possible, and with 

a classified annex if necessary, including a list of terrorist activities that were disrupted, in whole or in part, with the aid 

of information obtained through NSA’s telephone metadata 

program and whether this information could have been 

promptly obtained by other means. 

GUANTANAMO BAY DETAINEES

The Committee notes the continuing costs associated with maintaining the detention facilities at Naval Station, Guantanamo Bay, 

Cuba. Based on cost figures provided by the Department of Defense, the annual cost to house a detainee at the facility on Guantanamo Bay is approximately $2,768,902 per year. According to a 

May 2013 GAO report, the annual cost to incarcerate an individual 

at a maximum security Bureau of Prisons facility within the 

United States is approximately $78,000 per year. The cost to house 

a detainee at a U.S. military detention facility is comparable to 

that of a U.S. civilian facility at an annual estimated cost of 

$78,696. 

The mission for detention of individuals at Guantanamo Bay was 

never envisioned by the military to be long-term. Facilities that 

were originally built to be temporary have outlived their service 

life. For example, the current medical clinic used to manage the 

healthcare of an aging detainee population currently functions with 

inadequate space and is lacking proper medical treatment equipment. The Committee notes that the base hospital is the only service facility for chronic care. Due to security considerations, the hospital must be used after hours or closed down during daytime oper-
16 

ations to accommodate emergencies for detainees. The estimated 

cost to modify and develop a new medical facility is approximately 

$11,000,000. 

Another example of a facility operating beyond its intended 

usage is the temporary troop quarters housing service members 

who are supporting the detention mission. In many instances the 

rooms are overcrowded and continue to deteriorate. The intense 

year-round heat and humidity are burdening air handling equipment, degrading metal support infrastructure and corroding plumbing infrastructure at an accelerated rate. Many of these temporary 

facilities are a disservice to the men and women who carry out a 

challenging mission. Replacement housing facilities would cost over 

$100,000,000 in military construction funds, further raising the 

costs on sustaining a facility that was not intended to be permanent. 

As fiscal budget pressures for the Department continue, combined with the aging infrastructure used to house and treat detainees, the Committee believes continuing the detention mission at 

Guantanamo Bay will continue to rise and become cost prohibitive, 

especially as further reductions in the detention population would 

not lead to substantial cost savings in infrastructure or operations. 

Greater effort must be made to find a longer term solution to the 

detention mission.

MILITARY PERSONNEL OVERVIEW

Retired Pay Accrual Shortfall.—In February 2014, Congress reversed a provision in the Bipartisan Budget Act (Public Law 113– 

67) that reduced the annual cost-of-living adjustment [COLA] for 

military retirees under the age of 62 by one percent. In order to 

follow through on this COLA adjustment and fully fund the military retirement accounts in fiscal year 2015, the Committee includes an additional $507,500,000 throughout the military personnel accounts. 

Reserve Component Budget Reporting.—The Committee continues 

its requirement for the Department to provide a semi-annual detailed report to the congressional defense committees showing 

transfers between subactivities within the military personnel appropriation. Reports shall be submitted not later than 30 days following the end of the second quarter and 30 days following the end 

of the fiscal year. 

Unobligated Balances.—A Government Accountability Office 

analysis of past year obligation rates shows that the services continue to underexecute their military personnel accounts. Due to excess unobligated balances, the Committee recommends a total re-
19 

duction of $761,620,000 from the fiscal year 2015 military personnel accounts. 

Career Intermission Pilot Program.—The Career Intermission 

Pilot Program presents a unique opportunity for servicemembers to 

take a career intermission, without penalty, before returning to active duty service to continue their military career. The program has 

proven to be a valuable retention tool for the Department as it provides servicemembers with the chance to address a multitude of 

personal or professional matters, such as caring for a family member with a disability or illness, or pursuing higher education. The 

Committee understands that the Navy is currently the only service 

utilizing this pilot program and encourages the Army and Air Force 

to use this effective career management tool. To better understand 

the effectiveness of this pilot program, the Committee directs the 

Government Accountability Office to provide the congressional defense committees a report within 90 days after enactment of this 

act on the impacts of this program on retention within the services. 

The report should examine how the program has been implemented 

by the Navy and what elements can be implemented by the Army 

and Air Force in order to maximize the program’s usefulness to 

servicemembers. 

Enlistment of DACA Recipients.—The Committee is concerned 

that immigrants who have received Deferred Action for Childhood 

Arrivals [DACA] are not authorized to enlist in the Armed Forces, 

which has a negative impact on military recruitment and readiness. Under 10 U.S.C. section 504, Service Secretaries can authorize the enlistment of non-citizens when it is ‘‘vital to the national 

interest.’’ Enlisting DACA recipients would allow the Armed Forces 

to access an expanded pool of recruits. To be eligible for DACA, an 

individual must have entered the United States as a child; graduated from secondary school, obtained a general equivalency degree, or be currently enrolled in school; and not have a serious 

criminal record. DACA recipients are, by definition, educated and 

integrated into American society, and many have shown an interest 

in and aptitude for military service through participation in Junior 

Reserve Officers’ Training Corps [JROTC]. The requirements to 

qualify for DACA are similar to those for legislation known as the 

DREAM (Development Relief and Education of Alien Minors) Act. 

In 2011, Dr. Clifford Stanley, then-Undersecretary of Defense for 

Personnel and Readiness, testified in support of the DREAM Act, 

noting it would allow the Department of Defense ‘‘to expand the 

market of high-quality youth to the advantage of military recruitment and readiness.’’ In 2010, then-Secretary of Defense Robert 

Gates said the DREAM Act ‘‘will result in improved recruitment results and attendant gains in unit manning and military performance.’’ Accordingly, the Committee urges the Secretary of Defense, 

not later than 90 days after enactment of this act, to authorize the 

enlistment of DACA recipients pursuant to 10 U.S.C. Section 504. 

Enlistment of Individuals with Disabilities in the Armed 

Forces.—In Senate report 113–85, the Committee directed the Department of the Air Force to study the feasibility and advisability 

of permitting individuals with auditory impairment, including deafness, to access as officers in the Armed Forces. The Committee is 

disappointed in the quality of the response from the Department on 
20 

this issue and questions the methodology used to conduct these 

studies in which normal hearing individuals used hearing-loss simulation devices to approximate the effects of impaired hearing. 

The Committee strongly believes that the Department should examine more fully and more accurately the viability of allowing individuals with disabilities to enlist and directs the Department to 

provide a report to the congressional defense committees within 

120 days of enactment of this act that includes an examination of 

which military occupational specialties are best suited for individuals with disabilities. The Committee further directs the Department to study this issue, utilizing an independent agency with expertise in disability law and accommodations to structure and supervise the study, and using individuals with actual disabilities, 

who have adapted and modified their way of life to their disability, 

in order to gain a more accurate reflection of how such individuals 

would fare in fitness-for-duty tests.

47 

OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW

Civilian Workforce.—The civilian workforce has faced many challenges over the past several years. In 2013, the Department took 

specific action to release temporary employees, freeze hiring, and 

furlough most of its civilian workforce due to sequestration. The 

Committee expects the Department 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 percent 

pay raise for civilian personnel as requested. 

Workforce Management.—The Committee supports a workforce 

management plan that is fair for all sectors of the workforce. Decisions on sourcing new work, expanding existing responsibilities, or 

transferring functions currently performed by civilian personnel or 

contractors to performance by military personnel must not proceed 

without comparing the costs according to the Department’s own 

methodology. Therefore, decisions whether to assign new work 

which is not inherently governmental, closely associated with inherently governmental functions, or critical to military, civilian, or 

contractor personnel, shall be based on the results of the costing 

methodology laid out in Department of Defense Instruction [DODI] 

7041.04. Additionally, before converting functions performed by civilian personnel or contractors to performance by military personnel that are not required by law or regulation to be performed 

by military personnel, the Department shall adhere to its own costing methodology laid out in Department of Defense Instruction 

[DODI] 7041.04. 

Contract Services Spending.—Recent analysis by the Government 

Accountability Office found that the Department of Defense failed 

to adhere to the enacted limitations on contracted services in the 

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 (Public 

Law 112–81), exceeding the limitations by more than 

$1,000,000,000 in fiscal year 2012. Moreover, guidance for adherence to the extension of the limitations for fiscal year 2014 has yet 

to be issued. The Committee is concerned that the Department 

does not have adequate policies, procedures, and controls in place 

to enforce limitations on the annual amounts expended on contracted services. 

The Committee is also concerned that not all contracted services 

are being subjected to the spending limitations because of the exclusion of contracted services involving Economy Act transfers between and within Department of Defense components. Also, because of the disparity between the levels of contracted services captured in the Inventory of Contracts for Services, required under 

section 2330a of title 10, United States Code, and what the Department budgets for contracted services, the Committee concludes that 

the Department does not deliberately plan for most contracted 

services. The Committee urges a review of the efforts by the Under 

Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and the Department’s financial 

management and acquisition communities to implement effective 

control mechanisms for contracted services spending. 

Overestimation of Civilian Workforce.—While the Committee supports a strong civilian workforce, the fiscal year 2015 budget re-
48 

quest substantially overestimates the number of civilians that will 

be employed during fiscal year 2015. Through analysis directed by 

the Committee during the budget review, each service and defense 

agency identified the current estimate for civilian full time equivalents [FTE] that will be on the books in fiscal year 2014 and it is 

far short of what was planned for in the budget request. The Committee understands the difficulties in predicting civilian FTE levels, particularly during the past several turbulent years. However, 

the Committee cannot ignore that the Army, Navy and Air Force 

are estimating to finish fiscal year 2014 thousands of civilian FTEs 

lower than each service anticipated. Therefore, the Committee recommends reductions in fiscal year 2015 due to overestimation of civilian FTE targets. 

Quarterly End Strength Report.—In its analysis of civilian personnel numbers, the Committee used the ‘‘Congressional End 

Strength Quarterly Report for DOD’’ dated March 22, 2014, to inform its review. Each service was asked to comment on the data 

provided in their operation and maintenance appropriation in an 

attempt to validate the numbers in the column titled ‘‘Number of 

people paid.’’ Unfortunately, not one service was able to validate 

the numbers on the quarterly report. Therefore, the Committee directs that the information on the quarterly end strength report be 

validated by each service and the Office of the Secretary of Defense 

in the case of Defense-Wide appropriations, prior to submission. 

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, 2015, and shall include, but not be limited to, the following data totals for calendar year 2014: an aggregate graduation rate, loan default rate, and average indebtedness. 

Additionally, the report shall then disaggregate the data to show 

these same metrics by sector: public, private for-profit, and private 

not-for-profit. Finally, the report shall include the percentage of 

servicemembers utilizing the Top-Up program for voluntary military education and the average dollar amount of usage. The Department is also encouraged to make an effort to gather data on 

the jobs attained after graduation, specifically whether those jobs 

can be reasonably said to be in the field of study identified in the 

students’ education plans. 

Voluntary Military Education Programs—Third Party Audits.— 

The Committee recognizes the importance of voluntary military 

education programs to the continued education of our men and 

women in uniform and their spouses. In recent years, the programs 

have grown in popularity among servicemembers and, as such, in 

cost to the Federal Government. Despite recent efforts to improve 

oversight, the Committee notes that Department of Defense attempts to obtain key information needed to assess the quality of 

nearly 3,000 schools servicemembers attend have been largely unsuccessful. 

The Committee is concerned about the number and transparency 

of third party audits of schools within the Department’s Tuition As-
49 

sistance 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. 

Joint Prisoner of War/Missing in Action Accounting Command 

[JPAC].—The Government Accountability Office’s 2014 Annual Report titled, ‘‘Additional Opportunities to Reduce Fragmentation, 

Overlap, and Duplication and Achieve Other Financial Benefits’’ 

(GAO–14–343SP), published April 8, 2014, identified the Prisoner 

of War/Missing in Action [POW/MIA] mission as an area of high 

risk. The report said, ‘‘The Department of Defense should minimize 

overlapping and duplicative efforts by examining options to reduce 

fragmentation and clarify guidance on roles and responsibilities 

among the eight organizations that account for missing persons 

and improve the effectiveness of the mission.’’ 

A provision was included in S. 2410, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, as reported, making modifications to requirements for accounting for members of the Armed 

Forces and Department of Defense civilian employees listed as 

missing (section 911). Among several new requirements and authorizations, the provision establishes a new ‘‘designated defense 

agency’’ to have responsibility over the POW/MIA accounting community. The Committee’s recommendation is consistent with section 911 and realigns funding among Operation and Maintenance, 

Navy; Operation and Maintenance, Air Force; and Operation and 

Maintenance, Defense-Wide. The funding for the new defense agency is transferred to an undistributed line in Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide until a budget line item for the new defense 

agency is established. The Department is directed to include the 

new defense agency as a separate line in Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide in its fiscal year 2016 request. 

Finally, section 1509 of the Fiscal Year 2010 National Defense 

Authorization Act directed the Department of Defense to ensure 

that at least 200 missing persons are accounted for annually beginning in fiscal year 2015. The Committee encourages the Department to utilize the authorities established in section 911 of S. 2410 

to partner with research universities with expertise in archeology 

and remains recovery to assist in becoming compliant with National Defense Authorization Act mandates. 

Increasing Transparency of Federal Spending on Grants.—The 

Department of Defense reports its obligation of funds data by 

Grant, Cooperative Agreement, Technology Investment Agreement, 

and Other-Assistance-Award to the public at the USAspending.gov 

Web site, as required by the Federal Funding Accountability and 
50 

Transparency Act [FFATA] of 2006. The Transparency Act requires 

data on each obligation to be publicly accessible within 30 days of 

the date of obligation at the Web site. 

On May 9, 2014, the President signed the Data Accountability 

and Transparency Act of 2014 (DATA Act) (Public Law 113–101). 

The purposes of the DATA Act are to expand the Transparency Act 

accountability to include agency expenditures linked to reported 

awards, simplify and streamline reporting requirements, reduce 

compliance costs, and hold agencies accountable for data quality. 

The Committee directs the Department of Defense to provide adequate resources to comply with the new requirements of the DATA 

Act. 

Security Clearance Investigations.—The Committee is concerned 

about the Office of Personnel Management’s [OPM’s] screening 

process of Federal employees and believes that additional steps are 

needed to restore confidence in the security clearance process. 

Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense committees not later than 

120 days after the enactment of this act, on the feasibility and 

costs associated with the Department of Defense assuming the responsibilities of conducting security clearance investigation activities for all Department of Defense personnel. 

The Committee also encourages the Secretary of Defense to consider measures to optimize and streamline data sharing and best 

practices for continuous personnel security evaluations and threat 

analysis. 

Information Technology.—The military services’ operation and 

maintenance requests for fiscal year 2015 include over 

$11,000,000,000 for Information Technology [IT]. Robust funding 

for information technology is justified in the current environment. 

According to the IT budget materials, ‘‘[The] primary goals are to 

make the Department more effective and more secure against cyber 

threats and vulnerabilities.’’ The budget materials continue, ‘‘A secondary, but very important goal is to reduce the cost associated 

with the Department’s overall information technology infrastructure by simplifying, centralizing, and automating infrastructure at 

the enterprise level.’’ 

Over the past several years, the services have consistently endeavored to find savings related to the IT budget’s secondary goal. 

They have pursued initiatives such as data center and server consolidations, enterprise e-mail, and consolidated software and hardware purchasing. 

The Committee commends the Department for efforts to simplify, 

centralize and automate IT infrastructure. However, the Committee found a number of discrepancies where the resources reflected in the IT budget did not correlate to the operation and 

maintenance budget justification. The Committee recommends reductions based on that analysis. Finally, the recommendation includes additional reductions to the operation and maintenance accounts to compel further review of non-cyber IT requirements 

(those not related to the defense of DOD networks) and eliminate 

duplication. 

Operation and Maintenance Budget Justification.—The Committee commends the Department for the improvements in the Op-
51 

eration 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 Department shall include the OP–8B: Total Civilian Personnel Costs for every appropriation as a part of the President’s budget justification. 

—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. The Army National Guard shall include three 

categories broken out separately: recruiting, marketing, and retention. The Army National Guard is further directed to break 

out funding profiles for specific programs under each category 

providing more specific information about what is funded in 

each. Among other line items, one under marketing shall be 

sports sponsorships. 

—The Army shall add a new table in the performance criteria of 

the OP–5 exhibit for SAG 115 Land Forces Operations Support 

that shows the number of funded Combat Training Center Rotations by location. 

—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 Defense Information System Agency’s [DISA] budget documentation in O&M Defense-Wide is currently a culmination of 

net adjustments within section III C of the OP–5 (Financial 

Summary Reconciliation and Increases and Decreases) that is 

difficult to analyze. Future OP–5 exhibits for DISA shall break 

down adjustments into more discrete items rather than providing numerous net adjustments in section III C. 

—The Defense Security Service’s budget documentation in O&M 

Defense-Wide shall break out funding for the Defense Insider 

Threat Management and Analysis Center [DITMAC]/Continuous Evaluation program. This category shall be a new separate program discussed in section I of the OP–5, Description of 

Operations Financed, in section III, the Financial Summary as 

a new BA Subactivity, and broken out in the Reconciliation of 

Increases and Decreases if changes occur to this program from 

the current year to the budget year. 

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. 

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 En-
52 

hanced 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. 

Defense Generator and Rail Equipment Center.—The Defense 

Generator and Rail Equipment Center [DGRC] is an Army facility 

located at Hill Air Force Base, Utah. The Committee understands 

that this facility has serious deficiencies needing significant renovations including some necessary to address health and safety 

concerns. Further, while DGRC is currently located within the 

boundaries of Hill AFB, the Committee is aware that after completion of the Enhanced Use Lease project currently underway at Hill 

AFB, DGRC will be located outside of the base boundaries and 

would be required to provide its own force protection which would 

increase operational costs. The Committee urges the Secretary of 

the Army to work directly with the Secretary of the Air Force and 

relevant State and local stakeholders to address concerns raised by 

the current DGRC location and to reach an agreement acceptable 

to all parties on the future status and location of the DGRC. The 

Committee is concerned that spending funds to perform non-safety 

related renovations of the DGRC before such a consensus is 

reached would not be a good use of limited resources and taxpayer 

funds. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Secretary of the 

Army to limit renovations to those required only for health and 

safety until such an agreement is reached and directs the Army to 

notify the congressional defense committees of all safety-related 

renovations performed, including a justification for why the renovations are required. 

Electricity Reliability at Military Installations.—The Committee 

commends the Department and services for their continuing efforts 

to reduce installation energy costs, which total approximately 

$4,000,000,000 annually. The increasing use of Energy Savings 

Performance Contracts and Utility Energy Service Contracts has 

been particularly important in achieving energy and financial savings with less up-front Federal investment. To further augment energy efficiency efforts, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to conduct a review of the value and time duration of ‘‘electricity reliability’’ and its use in making energy efficiency project 

decisions on military installations. The review should factor in any 

need for redundancy and include an assessment of how the value 

of electricity reliability could be incorporated in cost-benefit calculations for Power Purchase Agreements, performance contracting, 
53 

and other utility power purchases. The Committee directs the secretary to report to the congressional defense committees on the 

findings of the review within 90 days of enactment of this act. 

Fly America Act.—The Committee commends the Department for 

its efforts to honor the Fly America Act as the drawdown in Afghanistan continues. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the congressional defense committees, 

no later than 30 days after the enactment of this act, detailing how 

many foreign flagged fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft are currently under contract in Afghanistan for airlift services, and a description of the Department’s plans to drawdown foreign carriers in 

advance of the cessation of military operations in Afghanistan. 

Junior Reserve Officer Training Corps.—The Committee is concerned about the shrinking number of American youth eligible for 

military service. For nearly 100 years, the Junior Reserve Officer 

Training Corps [JROTC] has promoted citizenship and community 

service amongst America’s youth and has been an important means 

through which youth can learn about military service in the United 

States. But evidence suggests that some high school JROTC programs face closure due to funding tied to program enrollment levels, adversely impacting certain, particularly rural, populations. 

Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the services, to submit a report to the congressional 

defense committees no later than 180 days after the enactment of 

this act on recent trends in JROTC participation at both the individual and school level, as well as any plans to ensure adequate 

representation of all regions in the United States to ensure the capabilities of the Armed Forces to recruit from a diverse background 

to sustain the all-volunteer force.

Automated Biometrics Identification System [ABIS].—The Committee recognizes that the ABIS has an enduring requirement and 

therefore encourages the Army to consider funding this capability 

in the base operation and maintenance budget. 

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. 

Ballistic Protective Eyewear.—The Committee supports efforts to 

establish a military combat eye protection program in the Department of Defense to ensure a high standard of performance for all 
58 

military-issue protective eyewear. The Committee encourages the 

rapid fielding of ballistic protective eyewear for all servicemembers 

so they can receive best-in-class eye protection for a range of 

threats while deployed and in training. 

Body Armor.—The Committee recognizes the importance of ensuring that deployed soldiers have the lightest and most advanced 

body armor available to enhance mission performance and save 

lives. Modernizing the body armor inventory through replenishment will help the manufacturing base continue the development 

and manufacturing of more advanced body armor our soldiers need. 

Therefore, the Committee provides an additional $80,000,000 for 

this initiative and encourages the Secretary of the Army to develop 

and implement a plan to replace and refurbish expired body armor. 

Soldier for Life.—The Committee has been made aware of an initiative developed by the Chief of Staff of the Army called ‘‘Soldier 

for Life,’’ which is currently being funded within existing resources. 

Soldier for Life provides servicemembers, veterans and family 

members with the skills, knowledge, and tools required to successfully reintegrate into civilian life. The Committee encourages the 

Secretary of the Army to continue these types of initiatives and 

properly budget for them in future requests. 

Army Force Structure and Installation Alignment.—The Army’s 

active component is set to decline from a peak of approximately 

562,000 soldiers in 2012 to 490,000 by 2017. Further reductions 

would result in additional unit inactivations at Army posts around 

the country. The Committee believes more information is needed 

about impacts to readiness from further force structure reductions 

and affirms its support for the reporting requirements directed in 

the report accompanying S. 2410, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, as reported, titled ‘‘Army Force 

Structure and Installation Alignment.’’ 

Army Emergency Management Training Center.—The 2009 Army 

Emergency Management Program (AR–525–27) sought to integrate 

planning, execution, and response management to all-hazard incidents affecting Army installations and activities. Although largely 

successful, some aspects of the integration and synchronization of 

emergency management planning assigned to the Department of 

the Army G–3/5/7 may be more appropriately suited for an Emergency Management Training Center established within the U.S. 

Training and Doctrine Command [TRADOC], with Army Headquarters continuing to exercise oversight. Therefore, the Committee 

directs the Secretary of the Army to report to the congressional defense committees by no later than June 1, 2015, the feasibility of 

consolidating homeland defense functions across Army installations 

to better support the consequences management and homeland defense missions, and of establishing an Emergency Management 

Training Center to facilitate comprehensive doctrine, training, and 

leader development for Installation Emergency Management and 

Defense Support to Civil Authorities. 

National Commission on the Future of the Army.—Several provisions were included in S. 2410, the National Defense Authorization 

Act for Fiscal Year 2015, as reported, regarding a National Commission on the Future of the Army. The Commission is to undertake a comprehensive study of the structure of the Army to deter-
59 

mine the proper force mixture of the Active component and Reserve 

component, and how the structure should be modified to best fulfill 

current and anticipated mission requirements for the Army in a 

manner consistent with available resources and estimated future 

resources. The Committee affirms its support for the National 

Commission on the Future of the Army. 

National Guard and Reserve Education Benefits.—The Committee understands that, effective January 1, 2014, members of the 

Army may become eligible for the Army’s tuition assistance program only after serving a period of 1 year after completing certain 

training courses, such as advance individual training, officer candidate school, and the basic officer leader course. The Committee 

is concerned that many members of the National Guard and Reserve, who serve only part time, rely on the tuition assistance program during all years of service and that the change in policy may 

be causing them to take out additional student loans to cover the 

cost of education during their first year of service. The Committee 

is further concerned that this policy is negatively affecting the recruitment efforts of the National Guard and Reserve. For these reasons and others, the Committee recommends the Secretary of the 

Army to reverse this decision as it applies to the Army National 

Guard and Reserve so that members of the National Guard and Reserve are eligible for tuition benefits in the same manner as they 

were prior to January 1, 2014, and to consider reversing the decision for active-duty members as well.

Naval Shipyard Apprentice Program.—The Committee directs 

that during fiscal year 2015 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 2016 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. 

Minimum Capital Investment for Certain Depots.—The Secretary 

of each military department is directed to invest in the capital 

budgets of the covered depots set forth in 10 U.S.C. 2476(e) a total 

amount equal to not less than 6 percent of the average total combined maintenance, repair, and overhaul workload funded at all 

the depots of that military department for the preceding 3 fiscal 

years. 

Shipboard Lighting Systems.—The Committee commends the 

Navy for its increasing use of light-emitting diode [LED] lighting 

and encourages it to continue these activities. The Committee 

urges the Navy to consider updating lighting specifications for 

ships so LED use is not prohibited, developing an approved products list for LEDs that is broadly available for use in all vessels, 

using ‘‘total lifecycle costs’’ to determine the value of LEDs, and 

making the installation of LEDs in vessels a priority when appropriate, such as during ship retrofits and new builds. 

Patuxent Naval Air Station.—The Committee is aware that the 

Department of the Navy commissioned the Massachusetts Institute 

of Technology’s Lincoln Laboratory to conduct a study to determine 

the effects and a potential mitigation plan between the operation 

of the proposed wind energy project and the Patuxent Naval Air 

Station. The study is not yet completed. Therefore, the Committee 

directs the Navy to refrain from executing any agreement with respect to the operation of the proposed wind energy project until the 

study is provided to the congressional defense committees.

Air Force Weather Training Modernization.—The Air Force 

Weather Agency makes a significant contribution to improving 

combat effectiveness of our warfighters. The Air Force needs to 

modernize its weather training programs to be able to continue 

that contribution. The Air Force may be able to take advantage of 

different training regimes as it modernizes its training programs, 

including reliance on organic training, entering into or expanding 

cooperative programs with other government agencies, such as the 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and entering 

into or expanding cooperative programs with colleges and universities that have meteorological training programs. The Committee 

encourages the Air Force to investigate whether the service could 

improve the effectiveness and efficiency of its weather training programs by placing greater reliance on cooperative training programs. 

Lajes Air Base.—The Committee supports the continued bilateral 

relationship the United States has with Portugal, particularly with 

respect to United States-NATO operations. However, given current 

budget constraints, the Committee recognizes the Air Force’s need 

to consolidate its force structure and operations at Lajes Air Base 

on Terceira Island in the Azores. The Committee understands this 

reduction will also impact host country civilian positions and the 

local economy. The Committee encourages the Department to continue to work closely with Portuguese and Azorean officials to minimize the economic impacts to the local population and to continue 

to explore all possibilities for other U.S. Government uses of Lajes 

Air Base. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide the congressional defense committees, not later than 60 days 

after the submission of the European Infrastructure Consolidation 

Assessment on United States Air Force, a report describing the 

continued U.S. presence at Lajes Air Base; steps to be taken to 

mitigate adverse effects on the surrounding community; and initiatives to strengthen and enhance the strategic relationship between 

the United States and Portugal.

Defense Language and National Security Education Office.—The 

Committee recognizes that, in partnership with universities across 

the country, the Defense Language and National Security Education Office 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. 

Military Use Airspace.—The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to continue to utilize national assets, such as the 

Hays Military Operations Area, to maintain airborne combat readiness for both manned and remotely piloted aircraft. 

Wildlife Trafficking.—The proceeds of animal poaching and wildlife trafficking are known to fund armed conflict on the African 
79 

continent, including by the Lord’s Resistance Army and other destabilizing groups in the Great Lakes Region. The Committee supports efforts by Africa Command and Special Operations Command 

to assist in the mitigation of these illegal activities through their 

capacity-building engagements with African governments and authorities, including ‘‘train the trainer’’ exchanges and exercises. The 

Committee expects Africa Command and Special Operations Command to continue these engagements in areas affected by wildlife 

trafficking. 

The Committee also directs the Secretary of Defense to provide 

a report to the congressional defense committees within 120 days 

of enactment of this act describing the planned activities to support 

implementation of the Executive order establishing the Presidential 

Task Force on Wildlife Trafficking. 

STEM Education and STARBASE.—The Committee finds that 

consolidation of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics [STEM] education programs and significant changes to the 

STARBASE program are not advisable at this time. STARBASE 

provides a unique low-cost leveraging of community and military 

resources that another Federal agency will not be able to duplicate. 

The benefits of cooperative community and military relationships 

stimulate the long-term interest of youth in STEM careers. Therefore, the Committee provides $25,000,000 to continue the Department of Defense STARBASE program in fiscal year 2015. The Committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to continue the 

STARBASE program in future fiscal years. 

Item Unique Identification Initiative.—The Item Unique Identification [IUID] initiative requires the marking and tracking of assets deployed through the Armed Forces or in the possession of Department of Defense contractors. Improving asset tracking and intransit visibility has the potential for realizing costs savings by improving the management of defense equipment and supplies 

throughout their lifecycle. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to take additional actions to improve asset visibility, to include completing and implementing its strategy for coordinating improvement efforts across the Department. 

Defense Personal Property Moves.—The Committee has a longstanding interest in the quality of life of military members and 

their families and understands the tremendous challenges associated with completing frequent defense personal property moves. 

The Committee is aware that the Department of Defense has successfully shifted to the Defense Personal Property Program [DP3] 

and commends the improvements to cost efficiency, the claims experience, and in family satisfaction. The Committee further commends the improvements that the Department and its transportation service providers have made to reduce costs and improve the 

quality of each military move. 

Flame Retardant Military Uniforms.—The Committee recognizes 

that for several years the Army’s rapid fielding initiative program, 

using overseas contingency operations funding, has provided flame 

retardant clothing to all deploying soldiers to minimize the risk of 

burn injuries from improvised explosive devices. The Committee 

notes that the Army’s flame retardant uniforms are approximately 

double the cost of non-flame retardant uniforms. However, the 
80 

Committee understands that recent technical developments in 

flame retardant garments have begun to reduce costs while offering 

options and varying levels of protection. 

These emerging developments provide the services with ways to 

protect servicemembers, regardless of the environment, without imposing undue costs on already strained budgets. Therefore, the 

Committee directs the Secretary of the Army, in coordination with 

the Secretaries of the Navy and Air Force, to conduct a feasibility 

study on increased use of flame-retardant uniforms, including a review of available technologies and industry sources of flame retardant fabrics, and to provide a written report to the congressional defense committees not later than 180 days after the date of the enactment of this act. 

Transition Assistance Programs.—The Committee applauds the 

Department’s revamped Transition Assistance Program [TAP] to 

provide assistance to servicemembers transitioning toward a career 

or education following military separation. The enhanced program 

called Transition—Goals, Plans, Success (Transition–GPS) was established to assist servicemembers with their transition as the 

military draws down by providing information, counseling, tools, 

and training for servicemembers to separating from the military. 

While the Committee recognizes the achievements of the Department within Transition–GPS, the Committee encourages the Secretary, in conjunction with the Secretary of the Labor and the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, to continuously improve and build upon 

the program. 

Furthermore, the Committee supports the conclusions reached by 

the March 2014 Government Accountability Office [GAO] report titled, ‘‘Transitioning Veterans: Improved Oversight Needed to Enhance Implementation of Transition Assistance Program.’’ The report highlighted five areas of concern: the ability for commanders 

and relevant policy stakeholders to track attendance, establishing 

training quality, assessing career readiness, ensuring participation 

and completion, and measuring performance and results in order to 

evaluate TAP effectiveness. The Committee directs the Secretary of 

Defense to report to the congressional defense committees on the 

implementation status of the GAO recommendations included in 

the report no later than 180 days after date of enactment of this 

act. 

Africa Standby Force.—The Committee commends the African 

Union for working toward a proposed African Standby Force and 

supports the more immediate African Capacity for Immediate Response to Crises [ACIRC] force, a multinational African rapid reaction military capability being established to respond to urgent crises and human rights challenges on the African continent. The 

Committee encourages Africa Command to provide appropriate 

training and capacity building support when appropriate to the African Union and its member states to realize an effective ACIRC 

and eventual standby force that are both able counter emerging crises while operating in accordance with international law and 

human rights norms. The Committee encourages the Secretary of 

Defense to develop a roadmap to assist the African Union forces 

with developing a sustainable logistics and airlift capacity. 
81 

Federal Insider Threat Detection Enhancement.—The Committee 

commends the military services for making significant strides towards implementing insider threat detection programs, specifically 

end-user auditing and monitoring programs. However, the combatant commands have not implemented robust, proven capabilities 

for end-user auditing and monitoring in support of insider threat 

detection. Therefore, the Committee recommends an additional 

$10,000,000 to be used for the combatant commands to implement 

proven and effective end-user auditing and monitoring capabilities 

in support of their existing insider threat detection programs. The 

Committee urges specific priority be given to U.S. Central Command, U.S. Strategic Command and U.S. Pacific Command. 

Middle East Regional Security Studies Programs.—The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to continue to support established university programs that promote regionwide informal workshops and task forces on arms control, regional security, and related topics to the Middle East for Arab, Israeli, and 

other officials and experts engaged in these issues.

National Guard Embedded Mental Health Programs.—The Committee recognizes that suicide continues to be an area of concern 

in the National Guard and Reserve components. Programs to improve access to behavioral healthcare for National Guard and Reserve members and their families through a collaboration of Federal, State, and community partners are helping to address gaps in 

treatment. The Committee provides $10,000,000 to be utilized by 

the Director of Psychological Health Programs of the National 

Guard Bureau for implementation of embedded mental health programs in States determined by that office to be at high risk for suicides. 

National Guard Facilities and Assets.—The Committee recognizes the number of existing National Guard operational, training, 

logistics, and maintenance capabilities that can be utilized by Federal, State, and local entities to reduce Federal overhead costs. The 

Committee encourages the Department of Defense to coordinate 

interagency use of facilities and capabilities for cost-savings and 

improved efficiencies in achieving homeland security training and 

other core mission objectives.

REPROGRAMMING GUIDANCE FOR ACQUISITION ACCOUNTS

The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to continue to 

follow the reprogramming guidance specified in the report accompanying the House version of the fiscal year 2008 Department of 

Defense Appropriations bill (House Report 110–279). Specifically, 

the dollar threshold for reprogramming funds will remain at 
99 

$20,000,000 for procurement and $10,000,000 for research, development, test and evaluation. 

In addition, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) is directed to continue to provide the congressional defense committees 

quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD Form 1416 reports for service and 

defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of this act. Reports for 

titles III and IV shall comply with guidance specified in the explanatory statement accompanying the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 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 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 statement. 

PROCUREMENT OVERVIEW

Physical Access Control Systems.—The Committee is concerned 

with the challenges the Department of Defense continues to face 

with the efficacy of their physical access control systems that 

should prevent unauthorized access to Department of Defense installations. The Department of Defense continues to develop and 

deploy incompatible programs and systems. These solutions increase costs and often fail to meet existing requirements. Commercially available physical access control systems address these shortfalls in that they are affordable, meet Department of Defense requirements, and do not have a significant sustainment cost. Therefore, the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force shall 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 a 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 no later than 180 days after enactment of this act. 

Rocket Motor Industrial Base.—The Committee is concerned that 

the domestic industrial base for tactical solid rocket motors continues to be impacted by constrained budgets, the use of foreign 

vendors, and a lack of competition. For example, a foreign supplier 

began development and qualification for a new rocket motor on the 

AMRAAM missile in 2009 after the domestically supplied rocket 

failed to qualify because of issues with the propellant and the blast 

tube insulation. The Committee has learned that the Navy may 

also be exploring a rocket motor source from a foreign vendor for 

a tactical missile program. Finally, the Committee understands 

that the Army recently awarded a sole-source contract for rocket 
100 

motors for the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket System, a program 

that has been stable and in production for some time. 

The Committee is concerned that in these programs, a competition for a new rocket motor vendor was not executed; and in two 

programs, the Department is becoming more reliant on a foreign 

supplier. The Committee is closely following these developments 

across all services, as rocket motors continue to be a critical component of the defense industrial base. The Committee believes that 

whenever possible, domestic sources should be considered, and full 

and open competition employed before awarding contracts. 

Therefore, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense 

for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to conduct an independent assessment of domestic and foreign-sourced rocket motor 

propulsion for all Department of Defense tactical missile programs. 

This report should include the impacts of foreign-sourced rocket 

motors on domestic suppliers, and the national security impacts on 

the defense industrial base. This report shall be delivered to the 

congressional defense committee not later than 180 days of enactment of this act. 

The Committee also directs the Government Accountability Office [GAO] to provide a report to the congressional defense committees within 180 days of enactment of this act that outlines the assumptions and analysis utilized by the Army to justify a solesource contract to develop and qualify new, insensitive munitionscompliant rocket motors for the Guided Multiple Launch Rocket 

System, and why a competitive acquisition strategy was not used. 

Army Organic Industrial Base.—The Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide 45-day written notification to the 

congressional defense committees prior to the Secretary approving 

civilian reductions in force that will result in an employment loss 

of 50 or more full-time employees at any Army organic industrial 

base facility. The notification shall include the impact that the proposed reduction in force will have on the ability to maintain the organic industrial base critical manufacturing capabilities as delineated in the Army Organic Industrial Base Strategy Report, a detailed accounting of the costs of implementing the reduction in 

force, and an assessment of the cost of, and time necessary, to restore any lost capability to meet future organic wartime manufacturing needs. 

Management of Conventional Ammunition Inventory.—The Committee is aware of the Department of Defense’s efforts to better 

manage its conventional ammunition inventory. The Government 

Accountability Office recently reported in ‘‘Actions Needed to Improve Department-wide Management of Conventional Ammunition 

Inventory’’ that more work needs to be done, particularly regarding 

information sharing between the services. Incomplete and unreliable inventory systems can lead to the wasteful destruction of ammunition, duplicative procurement of ammunition that may be 

available in the stockpiles of another service, and shortages of ammunition required for forward-stationed forces. To use limited resources more efficiently and improve support to our warfighters, 

the Committee encourages the Department of Defense to accelerate 

efforts to automate ammunition tracking and inventory accounting, 

and affirms its support for the reporting requirements directed in 
101 

the report accompanying S. 2410, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, as reported, titled ‘‘Management of 

Conventional Ammunition Inventory.’’ 

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 this country to sustain in times of war and peace. However, the Committee is concerned that while the Army Organic Industrial Base Strategy is identifying capabilities, further action is 

needed to fund these capabilities at a level adequate to maintain 

them. 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, ensure 

cost efficiency and technical competence in peacetime, and preserve 

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 to sustain them in peacetime. Given the arsenals’ unique capabilities, the Committee directs the Secretary of 

Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense committees 

not later than 90 days after the enactment of this act describing 

steps taken to encourage the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps to 

better use the arsenals for their manufacturing needs. 

Arsenal and Ammunition Plant Facility Maintenance.—The Committee is concerned with the reduction in funding for arsenal and 

ammunition plant facility maintenance. Established in most cases 

during World War II or before, the Army’s Government-owned, contractor-operated [GOCO] and Government-owned, Government-operated [GOGO] facilities are critical parts of our Nation’s defense 

industrial base, each with specific areas of expertise. However, prolonged combat operations in Afghanistan and Iraq and a more constrained budget environment have slowed the pace of necessary investments required for routine maintenance and modernization of 

production capabilities. With these concerns in mind, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to continue to submit the 

Long-range Facilities and Construction Planning at Army Ammunition Plants and Arsenals report, consistent with Senate Armed 

Services Committee Report 110–335, which accompanies the 

Duncun Hunter National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 

2009, and 112–26, which accompanies the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012, including a detailed strategy 

to address the most urgent needs of the arsenals and ammunition 

plants and investments that will improve overall facility competitiveness and efficiency.

Army Aviation Restructure Initiative [ARI].—The Army’s fiscal 

year 2015 budget request proposes a significant restructuring of 

Army aviation assets. This includes transferring all Apache helicopters to the active Army from the Army National Guard and 

shifting Blackhawk helicopters from the active Army to the Army 

National Guard. The proposal also includes retiring the Kiowa 

Warrior helicopters and replacing the TH–67 trainer helicopters 

with Lakota helicopters. The Committee believes the Army has not 

considered the full fiscal implications of the proposal, and the Army 

has not provided the Committee a comprehensive divestiture plan 

for the retiring helicopters. 

The Committee understands that the Army estimates saving a total of $11,942,000,000 under the ARI, including $10,300,000,000 

from divestiture of the Kiowa Warrior helicopters. However, the 

Committee notes the Army’s cost estimate fails to account for increased costs to procure and maintain additional Lakota helicopters, to train the Army Active Duty and Army National Guard 

pilots for the new missions, and to operate and maintain Apaches 

and Blackhawks. Therefore, the Committee directs Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation [CAPE] to do an independent cost 

analysis of both the ARI and the alternate Army National Guard 

estimates to complete the proposed transfer and associated outyears costs. The Director, CAPE shall provide a report to the congressional defense committees 120 days after enactment of this act. 

In addition, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to 

submit a report to the congressional defense committees not later 

than 120 days after the enactment of this act on the divestiture 
106 

plan for unneeded Army helicopters. This report should address (1) 

the number of airframes being divested under the ARI by fiscal 

year, (2) the number of airframes being transferred to other Government agencies, (3) the number of airframes being offered for 

sale to other nations, (4) the cost of divesting these aircraft, (5) the 

impact the divestiture of these airframes will have on the domestic 

rotary wing industrial base and (6) the impact of the divestiture 

plan on military readiness. Further, the Secretary of the Army is 

directed not to allow the resale or auction of any divested airframe 

until 30 days after the report is submitted to the congressional defense committees. 

Army Oversight of Aviation Programs.—The Committee is aware 

of a Department of Army memorandum establishing responsibility 

for current and future fixed and rotary wing platforms to the Program Executive Office for Aviation. The Committee is also aware 

that responsibility for key subsystems of the platforms are assigned 

to several other Program Executive Offices. The Committee understands the Army memorandum has created inefficiencies in program acquisition, material procurements, and support in current 

systems by establishing multiple organizations within Government 

to support a single aircraft. 

For example, the Enhanced Medium Altitude Reconnaissance 

and Surveillance System [EMARSS] program, which is covered by 

the subject memorandum, is under oversight by multiple Program 

Executive Offices. The combined oversight of multiple Program Executive Offices does not appear to have improved the EMARSS program, as it experienced severe cost growth. These cost overruns led 

to the Army canceling the program in the fiscal year 2015 President’s budget request. Therefore, the Committee rescinds 

$73,500,000 of fiscal year 2014 funds, included in the Consolidated 

Appropriations Act, 2014 for new EMARSS aircraft. 

In addition, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to 

justify the confusing and duplicative management structure mandated by this memorandum including a description of the estimated cost savings or efficiencies that are expected by this reorganization, and report to the congressional defense committees not 

later than 120 days after enactment of this act. 

Army National Guard Blackhawks.—The Committee acknowledges that the older UH–60As need to be modernized and replaced 

as quickly as possible for the Army National Guard Blackhawk 

fleet to remain viable and mission capable. It is projected that the 

Army National Guard will not retire their last UH–60A until 2025, 

while the Active Army will retire their last UH–60A in 2020. 

Therefore, the Committee recommends accelerating the fielding of 

new UH–60M helicopters to the Army National Guard.

Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles and the Army Budgeting 

Process.—The fiscal year 2015 base budget request includes no 

funds in fiscal years 2015 and 2016 for the procurement of the 

Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles [FMTV] but carries funding in 

fiscal year 2017 and 2018 to resume production and eventually 

meet the Army’s acquisition objective. The Committee notes that 

the lack of funding in fiscal years 2015 and 2016 will shutdown 

FMTV production for 2 years and will negatively impact the industrial base, resulting in higher acquisition costs when the Army restarts procurement in fiscal year 2017 as planned. The Committee 

understands that fiscal constraints force difficult trade-offs; however, during its budget review, the Committee identified over 

$750,000,000 in poorly budgeted funds within the Other Procurement, Army account. Had the Army performed a similarly rigorous 

budget review, these excess funds could have been used to address 

not only the shortfall in FMTV, but other programs as well. To 

avoid a production shut down and expensive restart costs, the Committee recommends an additional $250,000,000 for FMTVs. 

The Committee understands that the Army budget is assembled 

by specific mission areas, and that each mission area receives an 

allocation of funds to spread across its requirements. The Committee notes that as a result, a requirement in one mission area 

may receive funding, while a requirement in a different area, such 

as FMTVs, remains unfunded, even if the FMTV is a higher overall 

priority within the Army than the funded requirement. Therefore, 

the Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to work with the 

other Services to review those Service’s budgeting processes and to 

use this information to create an Army budgeting process that al-
126 

lows improved prioritization of requirements so that priority programs do not go unfunded. The Committee directs the Secretary of 

the Army to report to the congressional defense committees 180 

days after the enactment of this act on the findings of this review. 

Joint Tactical Radio System.—The Committee commends the 

Army on implementing an acquisition strategy for Manpack and 

Rifleman radio procurement that ensures technical and price competition over the next 5 years. However, this strategy revision has 

taken a significant amount of time to implement and has left 

$438,000,000 of previously appropriated funds unobligated, of 

which $67,000,000 was offered by the Department of Defense 

[DOD] for rescission. Due to contract award delays, the Committee 

recommends an additional rescission of $103,000,000 and urges the 

Army to use the remaining unobligated funds to modernize equipment for the ‘‘Army of 2020’’ with the latest in communications and 

networking capabilities. 

High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle [HMMWV] Ambulance.—The Committee recognizes the continued value of the 

HMMWV ambulance, which is tasked to respond to contingency operations, domestic emergencies, and humanitarian assistance requests. The Committee also recognizes that the Army National 

Guard and the Army Reserve have identified significant shortfalls 

in HMMWV ambulances which hinder training and operational capabilities. Therefore, the Committee provides $60,000,000 for procurement of HMMWV ambulances.

EA–18G Aircraft.—Airborne electronic attack [AEA] is a capability that has proven critical in recent military engagements and 

for which there will be growing demand in the future. As the primary air platform performing this mission for the Navy, the EA– 

18G has proven itself to be a key component to the success of the 

carrier air wing. The Committee is concerned that the fiscal year 

2015 budget request does not include any funding for the EA–18G 
131 

aircraft even though Navy leadership has publicly expressed their 

support for continued procurement into 2016. Therefore, the Committee adds $1,200,000,000 for an additional 12 aircraft, and 

$100,000,000 with direction to the Navy to extend current production to a minimum production rate of two aircraft per month. 

MH–60R Seahawk Procurement.—The Committee is aware that 

the Navy is considering breaching the joint-service H–60 multi-year 

procurement contract by not procuring the final 29 aircraft in fiscal 

year 2016. Because this is a joint-service multi-year contract, the 

Army will be forced to renegotiate the contract, which will delay 

deliveries and increase unit costs. The Committee believes the 

Navy will face significant termination costs that will consume 

much of the projected savings from truncating the program. The 

Committee understands that these aircraft were to be assigned to 

the USS George Washington and that if this aircraft carrier were 

to be retired, the 29 MH–60R helicopters would be excess. In light 

of the Committee’s support for the overhaul of this aircraft carrier, 

the fiscal year 2015 advance procurement for these aircraft is fully 

funded. The Committee directs the Navy to review the total MH– 

60R requirement and urges restoral of the 29 aircraft to the fiscal 

year 2016 budget request. 

MQ–4 Triton Unmanned Aerial Vehicle.—The fiscal year 2015 President’s budget request includes $37,445,000 for advance procurement of the first production Triton UAV. Due to the deferment 

of critical mission capabilities into future software blocks within 

the development program, as discussed elsewhere in this report, it 

is premature to begin procurement of the Triton aircraft in fiscal 

year 2015. Therefore, the Committee recommends no funding for 

advance procurement.

MK 45 Gun Mount Industrial Base.—The Committee understands that no order has been placed in 2 years for naval gun 

mount modernization. As a result, a significant amount of previously appropriated funds made available for modernization of MK 

45 gun mounts remain unobligated. The delays and fluctuation in 

work increases price and performance risk, and is also harmful to 

the manufacturer and supplier industrial base. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Navy to utilize available funds to put on contract four MK 45 gun mount mods. Guns would be provided for two 

DDG upgrades and two CG upgrades.

Shipbuilding Industrial Base and Workload Allocation.—The 

Committee remains concerned generally about the overall health of 

the shipbuilding industrial base and specifically about the health 

of the non-nuclear surface combatant shipbuilding industry. The 

Committee reiterates its commitment to the goal of reducing costs 

and increasing value in the shipbuilding program and believes that 

cooperative workload allocation agreements between the Navy and 

industry may provide an alternative method to obtain efficiency 

and economies in Navy ship design and construction with the goals 

of closing the shortfalls in the fleet and retain the shipbuilding industrial base needed for future military requirements. Therefore, 

the Secretary of the Navy is directed to engage industry in discussions on future shipbuilding workload distribution and methods to 

ensure the viability of the non-nuclear shipyards over the long 

term. 

For instance, when the LPD–17 program was experiencing significant production issues, the Department of the Navy entered 

into a workload agreement, ‘‘Memorandum of Understanding Concerning the Reallocation of LPD–17 and DDG–51 Ship Construction Workload’’ (SWAP 1), with shipbuilders on June 17, 2002. The 

purpose of the agreement was to reallocate workload to ensure 

‘‘stability at both yards, stabilize and reduce total projected shipbuilding costs for the LPD–17 Program, and maintain properly balanced sources of supply for future Navy surface combatant shipbuilding’’. The agreement also requires the Navy to award a compensatory DDG–51 or equivalent workload if the Navy awards a 

shipbuilding contract for LPD 28. The Committee understands that 
140 

the Navy considers this agreement to remain in full force and effect, and that the Navy will engage with shipbuilders involved in 

the agreement to discuss workload distribution. While Congress is 

not a party to this agreement, the Committee directs the Navy to 

submit a report to the congressional defense committees no later 

than March 1, 2015, on the Navy’s options and potential courses 

of action to fulfill the requirements of the SWAP 1 agreement preceding or concurrent with when LPD 28 is placed under contract. 

The report should also address strategies to ensure the viability 

and stability of the non-nuclear shipyards over the long term to 

preserve the defense maritime industrial base and achieve the 

highest level of performance and quality from the shipbuilders. 

CVN 79.—The Committee understands that in light of significant 

cost overruns on CVN 78, USS Ford, the Navy is working diligently 

to reduce costs of the follow-on ship of the class, CVN 79, USS Kennedy. The Committee further understands that this includes innovative contracting strategies leading to greater competition. The 

Committee commends the Navy for this approach and believes that 

additional savings could be achieved as a result of increased competitive acquisition strategies. 

DDG 1000 Destroyer.—The fiscal year 2015 budget request includes $419,532,000 for the DDG 1000 program, an increase of 

$187,838,000 over amounts appropriated in fiscal year 2014. The 

Committee notes that the fiscal year 2015 request is $98,200,000 

above the projected amount required for fiscal year 2015 during 

last year’s budget submission and that in total, the Navy has added 

$451,900,000 from fiscal years 2015 to 2017 to the DDG 1000 program in the fiscal year 2015 budget submission. The Committee 

understands that these increases are attributed to the fact that the 

Navy had not previously funded the program to the cost estimate 

provided by the Director, Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation 

[CAPE]. The Committee further understands that the Navy does 

not plan to budget to the CAPE estimate in fiscal year 2016. 

The Committee notes that the DDG 1000 program breached 

Nunn-McCurdy cost caps in 2010 and was re-certified by the Under 

Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics on 

June 1, 2010. The recertification found that the primary root cause 

for the Nunn-McCurdy breach was the reduction in quantity from 

ten ships to three ships. The Committee further notes that subsequent to the Nunn-McCurdy recertification, Congress has fully 

funded annual budget requests, supported multiple above threshold 

reprogrammings, provided Special Transfer Authority, supported 

changes to the acquisition strategy, and supported a litigation settlement that provided $198,000,000 to the DDG 1000 program. 

In the fiscal year 2015 budget submission, the Navy’s estimated 

procurement cost for the three DDG 1000 ships of the class is 

$12,069,400,000, an increase of 34.4 percent since fiscal year 2009, 

when the third ship of the class was procured. Given the steadily 

rising costs of the DDG 1000 program since authorization and appropriation of the third and final ship of the class, the Committee 

believes the Navy and the congressional defense committees would 

be well-served with an updated Independent Cost Estimate. Therefore, the Committee directs the Director, CAPE, to provide with the 
141 

fiscal year 2016 budget submission an updated Independent Cost 

Estimate for the DDG 1000 program. 

Littoral Combat Ship [LCS].—The fiscal year 2015 budget request includes full funding for the procurement of three Littoral 

Combat Ships [LCS], a reduction of one ship compared to the prior 

year budget request. The Committee notes that the Navy agreed to 

a block buy contract for 20 LCS in fiscal year 2010, ramping two 

shipyards up to a rate of two LCS per year beginning in fiscal year 

2012, and that the Navy had planned on procuring the last four 

ships of that block buy in fiscal year 2015. The fiscal year 2015 

budget submission does not support that plan. The Committee understands that the Navy now plans to extend the block buy contract into fiscal year 2016, and that to preserve block buy pricing 

additional funds for the acquisition of long lead materials are required in fiscal year 2015. Therefore, the Committee recommends 

$80,000,000 only for preservation of block buy pricing. The Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Research, Development and Acquisition is directed to provide the congressional defense committees an 

update on the Navy’s acquisition strategy for LCS prior to the obligation of these funds. 

Amphibious Warships.—According to section 123 of S. 2410, the 

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, as reported, the Secretary of the Navy is authorized to incrementally 

fund an additional LPD–17 San Antonio-class amphibious ship. 

The Committee continues to be concerned about the level of risk 

being assumed with amphibious lift capability. Therefore, to help 

address the amphibious lift shortfall that exists today, the Committee recommendation provides $800,000,000 to incrementally 

fund an additional LPD–17 class amphibious ship. 

Joint High Speed Vessel [JHSV].—The Department of the Navy 

is procuring JHSVs for fast intra-theater transportation of troops, 

military vehicles and equipment. With submission of the fiscal year 

2013 budget, the Navy assumed risk with the overall JHSV requirement and reduced the program procurement objective from 18 

to 10 ships. Under this plan, the final ship would be purchased 

with fiscal year 2013 funding. However, based on 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 supports procuring additional JHSVs to address the original requirement. Further, the Committee notes that 

one JHSV is being used as an experimental test platform for Navy 

technology projects. Therefore, the Committee recommends 

$200,000,000 to procure one JHSV in fiscal year 2015. 

Polar-Class Icebreakers.—The Committee notes that since 2006, 

the United States has been operating a Polar-class icebreaker fleet 

consisting of one heavy and one medium vessel. The Committee understands that this falls short of U.S. requirements. While the 

United States has deferred investment in its polar fleet, other nations such as China and Russia are pressing ahead to develop robust icebreaking capability, allowing them to pursue their national 

interests in the polar regions. The Committee supports the interagency process to develop requirements for a new Polar-class icebreaker or similarly Arctic-capable surface vessel, recognizing the 
142 

strategic importance of Arctic operations to our Nation’s future security and prosperity. Therefore, the Committee directs 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 that will result in the approval of an 

operational requirements document no later than 180 days after 

the date of enactment of this act.

Littoral Combat Ship [LCS] Mission Modules.—In February 

2014, the Secretary of Defense announced the Department’s decision to reduce the planned LCS buy from 52 to 32 ships and ordered the Secretary of the Navy to conduct a review of the Navy’s 

small surface combatant needs. The Committee understands these 

actions were taken due to concerns raised by the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation and Congress on the escalating costs 

of the ship as well as its survivability. Additionally, the Government Accountability Office [GAO] 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. 

Given the testing concerns raised by GAO and the Department’s 

current strategic pause on the LCS program, the Committee finds 

it prudent to also slow the procurement of LCS mission modules. 

Therefore, the Committee recommends a total reduction of 
152 

$71,314,000 to the fiscal year 2015 budget request for LCS mission 

modules and related components. 

Consolidated Afloat Networks and Enterprise Services 

[CANES].—The fiscal year 2015 budget request includes $422,604,000 for continued procurement and installation of CANES 

and CANES—Intell. The Committee understands that the CANES 

program declared a Major Automated Information System [MAIS] 

Critical Change in December 2013 due to the inability to achieve 

a full deployment decision within 5 years of selection of the preferred alternative. The testing schedule for the CANES program 

has faced significant delays due to unrelated mechanical problems 

on the original test ship USS Milius (DDG 69), and initial operational test and evaluation is now scheduled to take place in August 2014 aboard the USS Higgins (DDG 76). The Committee is 

concerned with the steep increase in procurement of systems 

planned for fiscal year 2015, and that the program will reach its 

maximum production rate before significant testing results can be 

completed. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of 

six systems from the fiscal year 2015 budget request, which would 

support an overall increase in the number of systems procured 

from 20 in fiscal year 2014 to 27 in fiscal year 2015.

C–130 Avionics Modernization Program.—The Committee supports modernization of the C–130H fleet and understands the Air 

Force plans to operate approximately 150 C–130H models for the 

foreseeable future. As such, the Committee supports continuation 

of the C–130 Avionics Modernization Program [AMP] program to 

ensure the Air National Guard operates relevant and modernized 

aircraft. Therefore, consistent with the report accompanying S. 

2410, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, 

as reported, the Committee directs the Air Force to obligate prior 

year funds authorized and appropriated for the C–130 AMP program to conduct such activities as are necessary to complete testing 

and transition the program to production and installation of modernization kits. 

C–130 Aircraft Fleet.—The Committee recognizes the Air Force’s 

commitment to intra-theater lift as supported by the multi-year 

procurement plan of the C–130J aircraft. However, with a sizable 

fleet of older model C–130s residing within the Reserve components, the Committee is concerned with the long term sustainment 

of the fleet. Consistent with section 138 of S. 2410, the National 

Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2015, the Committee directs the Air Force to develop a modernization, recapitalization and 

fielding plan for the current C–130 fleet that addresses the most 
164 

recent Quadrennial Defense Review requirement that the Air Force 

maintain 300 intra-theater lift aircraft and addresses the recommendations of the National Commission on the Structure of the 

Air Force. 

B–52 Upgrades.—The Committee commends the Department’s efforts to upgrade the B–52 aircraft. While supportive of the aircraft 

and its valuable legacy within the Air Force, the Committee is 

monitoring the costs associated with follow-on modifications to the 

aircraft. As such, the Committee requests that the Secretary of the 

Air Force provide regular updates on progress of the internal weapons bay upgrade and the combat network communications technology enhancement and how these modernization efforts will allow 

the B–52 to conduct additional missions and participate in future 

operations. 

Undefinitized Contract Actions.—During review of the budget request, the Committee notes several programs within the Aircraft 

Procurement, Air Force account that had large amounts of unobligated balances in prior years. For example, two programs had over 

$600,000,000 unobligated between fiscal year 2012 and 2013. 

Among those programs, the Air Force had chosen undefinitized contract actions [UCAs] in awarding contracts. While these contract 

actions are certainly within the bounds of authority, as outlined in 

Defense Federal Acquisition Regulation, Part 217, UCAs are required to be definitized 180 days after award; however, many of 

these contract awards took longer. For example, in documentation 

provided to the Committee for the HC/MC 130 recapitalization program, the obligation data indicated that typical contract negotiations take 27 months for completion. The Committee believes such 

practice is unacceptable. The Government Accountability Office 

[GAO] has investigated the use of UCAs and has made recommendations to reduce their usage noting that the risk to the 

government are greater when there is little incentive for contractors to finalize the contract. Therefore, the Committee directs the 

Government Accountability Office 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; 

if other contract award options are more efficient and effective; and 

what recommendations GAO can make to reduce the number of 

UCAs within the account in the future and submit a report 120 

days after enactment of this act.

Global Positioning System [GPS] Digital Payload.—The Committee is aware of technical and cost challenges with the current 

analog navigation payload on GPS III. The Committee believes that 

early Air Force investment, when combined with industry investment, into the development of a digital navigation payload will significantly reduce cost and schedule risk for the future GPS constellation. The fiscal year 2015 budget request includes $32,900,000 

for GPS III Space Modernization Initiative [SMI]. The Committee 

fully supports the Air Force’s SMI request and directs that of the 

amount appropriated, not less than $20,000,000 shall be used to 

mature an alternate GPS digital payload. 

Space Modernization Initiative [SMI].—Recently, the Department 

of Defense has begun to shift its perspective of the architecture for 

space-based capabilities away from monolithic space platforms to 

creative distribution of payloads on national, civil, and commercial 

satellites. The Committee firmly believes that movement away 

from large satellites, where possible, will result in significant cost 

savings and reduce the schedule to deliver payloads into orbit. Further, the Air Force is entering into a pathfinder program with the 

commercial satellite communications industry that may provide enhanced coverage at a lower cost to both the Air Force and the commercial provider. The Committee commends the Department of Defense and the Air Force for their unconventional approach to ensure viable space-based capability for years to come. The Committee encourages the Air Force to use funds appropriated for the 
168 

space modernization initiative to further implement these new 

space-based capability strategies. 

Defense Meteorological Satellite Program [DMSP].—The budget request includes $87,000,000 for storage, integration, test, launch, 

and early-orbit checkout of one Defense Meteorological Satellite 

Program [DMSP] satellite. Air Force analysis indicates this satellite will not be needed on-orbit until 2020, costing an additional 

$425,000,000 in storage during that period. This amount is excessive for a 1990s technology satellite originally costing approximately $500,000,000. The Committee is aware that only a few of 

the capabilities provided by this satellite cannot be met by other 

existing civil and commercial satellites. The Committee questions 

the Air Force’s current plan to launch this satellite in 2020 at a 

significant cost to the Government for a capability that may be met 

through other space-based assets. Therefore, Committee directs the 

Air Force to reassess its plan for the last DMSP and pursue a least 

cost approach for the disposition of this satellite. Of the amount requested for DMSP, the Committee provides $30,000,000.

Energy Efficient Military Billeting.—The Committee encourages 

the Department of Defense to continue efforts to leverage technology and deliver energy efficient returns on investments, such as 

thermal technologies in battlefield housing. Such technologies will 

realize cost savings by reducing the military’s battlefield fuel footprint while also making current billeting structures more energy 

efficient. 

Weapon Storage Area Recapitalization.—The Committee commends the Air Force for its focus on weapon storage area recapitalization and encourages the Air Force to take into consideration the 

amount of immediate use when choosing the sequence for recapitalization projects. With this in mind, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to submit a report to the congressional defense committees within 90 days of enactment of this act detailing 

the rationale for the order chosen and the plan to recapitalize the

Special Operations Command [SOCOM] Manned Intelligence 

Surveillance Reconnaissance [ISR] Aircraft.—The Committee notes 

the fiscal year 2015 budget request of $40,500,000 for modification 

of MC–12 aircraft being transferred from the Air Force to Special 

Operations Command. However, the Committee is concerned with 

SOCOM’s continuing changes to its requirements for manned ISR 

aircraft. The incremental changes to the manned ISR fleet, including the proposed divestiture of recently upgraded aircraft, seems to 

indicate that SOCOM does not understand its long-term ISR requirements. As a result, the Committee concurs with the language 

as directed by S. 2410, the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2015, as reported, to complete a review of the platform 

requirements for manned ISR aircraft to support United States 

Special Operations Forces and includes a reduction of $5,400,000.

Additional Funding.—The Committee recognizes the critical role 

that the 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 for Acquisition, Technology, 

and Logistics to inform the congressional defense committees 30 

days prior to any obligation or expenditure of these funds. 
(184) 

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 2015 budget requests a total of 

$63,533,947,000 for research, development, test and evaluation appropriations. 

SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION

The Committee recommends research, development, test and 

evaluation appropriations totaling $62,566,834,000 for fiscal year 

2015. This is $967,113,000 below the budget estimate. 

Committee recommended research, development, test and evaluation appropriations for fiscal year 2015 are summarized below:

REPROGRAMMING GUIDANCE FOR ACQUISITION ACCOUNTS

The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to continue to 

follow the reprogramming guidance specified in the report accompanying the House version of the fiscal year 2008 Department of 

Defense Appropriations bill (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. 

In addition, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) is directed to continue to provide the congressional defense committees 

quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD Form 1416 reports for service and 

defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of this act. Reports for 

titles III and IV shall comply with guidance specified in the explanatory statement accompanying the Department of Defense Appro-
185 

priations Act, 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 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 statement. 

RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION OVERVIEW

Use of Research, Development, Test and Evaluation Funding for 

Procurement of End Items.—The fiscal year 2015 budget request in- cludes $69,670,000 in two separate programs in the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy account for the acquisition 

of weapons that will be used operationally. The Committee strongly 

believes that these requests violate intent of section 8055 of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2014, which prohibits the 

use of research and development funding to procure end-items for 

delivery to military forces for operational use. The Committee further notes that this legislative provision has been carried annually 

for several years, and has again been requested by the President 

for inclusion in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 

2015. The Committee recommendation once again includes this restriction. 

In particular, the fiscal year 2015 budget request includes $25,000,000 in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy 

to procure two incrementally funded CH–53K helicopters that will 

be utilized as operational platforms after completion of the program’s test schedule. The Committee is aware of the need to maintain the industrial base following a 1 year schedule delay that 

shifted the program’s production decision into fiscal year 2016. 

However, this circumstance does not justify the violation of public 

law and sound acquisition practice. Therefore, the recommendation 

denies $25,000,000 requested for these operational aircraft and provides $15,000,000 in research and development to sustain qualified 

vendors pending a production decision for the CH–53K program. 

This recommendation allows the test program to proceed as scheduled and has no negative impact on the program’s production 

schedule. 

In addition, the fiscal year 2015 budget request includes 

$44,670,000 in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy 

to incrementally fund a Ship to Shore Connector ship in addition 

to the previously funded test asset. All of the program’s test and 

training activities will be conducted with the first Ship to Shore 

Connector test craft. This second ship will deliver after completion 

of the program’s test activities and be utilized as an operational 

asset. Further, the Committee notes that the fiscal year 2015 budget request includes $123,233,000 in Shipbuilding and Conversion, 

Navy for the procurement of two operational Ship to Shore Connec-
186 

tors. The Committee denies the use of research and development 

funds for the procurement of an operational craft, and realigns 

funds from Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy to 

Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy for the procurement of a third 

Ship to Shore Connector in fiscal year 2015. The realignment of 

funds has no impact on the program’s acquisition schedule and allows the test program to proceed as scheduled. 

Navy Justification Material.—The Committee is concerned with 

the quality of the material provided by the Navy to justify the fiscal year 2015 President’s budget request. The budget justification 

was incomplete, and lacked several mandatory documents, such as 

R–4a forms. The deletion of these exhibits is at odds with the Financial Management Regulations and the principles of justifying 

the Navy’s budget to Congress. Additionally, several exhibits contained the words ‘‘to be determined’’ in areas where projections 

could be made such as contract award date, vendor, and contract 

type. 

The supplemental information that was provided to the Committee offered little further insight. For example, several major acquisition programs requested large amounts of funding for ‘‘primary hardware development,’’ without further explanation. These 

types of summary entries limited Committee insight into the 

planned work. As a result, the Committee directs the Secretary of 

the Navy to provide the mandated justification documents and the 

required level of detail in the fiscal year 2016 budget request. 

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. 

F135 Engine.—When the Department of Defense made the decision to terminate the alternate engine for the F–35 Joint Strike 

Fighter [JSF] in May of 2011, it reassured the Committee that a 

second engine was no longer necessary as a hedge against the failure of the main JSF engine program. The Department also stated 

that the financial benefits, such as savings from competition, were 

small if they existed at all. Since that time, the F135 engine has 

experienced numerous problems, including the failure of an oil flow 

management valve and a pre-take-off fire in the past few weeks, 

both of which grounded the entire fleet of over 100 aircraft. Further, the F135 engine unit cost has not declined as projected. However, the Committee believes that had the alternate engine program continued, competition would have incentivized the F135 engine manufacturer to find creative methods to drive down prices 

and ensure timely delivery of a high quality product, which is consistent with current Department preference for competition in acquisitions. Therefore, the Committee recommends the Secretary of 

Defense reassess the value of an alternate engine program creating 

competition to improve price, quality, and operational availability. 
187 

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 2014 Quadrennial Defense Reviews 

and the Department of Defense’s Operational Energy Strategy. Renewable energy, including solar, is an important part of these efforts. Earlier this 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 energy often need to be transported to theater. However, drydust 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. 

Basic Research.—The fiscal year 2015 budget request includes 

$2,017,502,000 for basic research to be performed by all Department of Defense [DOD] services and agencies. This amount is 

$149,096,000, or 7 percent below the fiscal year 2014 enacted level. 

The Committee is discouraged by this sharp decline, because basic 

research is the foundation upon which other technology is developed. Further, basic research performed by DOD spans across universities and colleges, small businesses and laboratories, growing 

future scientists and creating new business opportunities. Earlier 

this year, the Committee held a hearing on Defense Research and 

Innovation. The testimony provided by the witnesses indicated that 

a sharp decline in science and technology investment could threaten America’s technological edge. Therefore, the Committee recommends $2,274,928,000 for basic research, a 5 percent increase 

for the Department of the Army, Department of the Air Force, Department of the Navy and DOD, above previously enacted levels. 

The Committee also expects that the Department not make disproportionate or unjustified reductions to science and technology 

entities as part of the headquarters management reduction initiative.

Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle [AMPV].—The fiscal year 2015 

budget request includes $92,353,000 for the Armored Multi-Purpose Vehicle [AMPV], a Family of Vehicles based on a military vehicle derivative that will replace the M–113 Armored Personnel 

Carriers to support Armored Brigade Combat Teams across the 

range of military operations. The Committee notes that the Army 

Acquisition Objective of 3,007 vehicles for the AMPV program of 

record does not include vehicles for Echelons Above Brigade [EAB], 

which could require additional quantities in excess of 1,900 vehicles. The Committee understands that the Army is preparing a report to the congressional defense committees on its plan to eventually replace all M–113 Armored Personnel Carriers within Echelons Above Brigade formations; however, the Committee notes that 

any potential acquisition program requires an Analysis of Alternatives to support decision milestones. 

The Committee notes that the fiscal year 2015 budget request includes $9,913,000 in a separate program element for several Analyses of Alternatives [AoA], and further notes that while the Army 

is considering selection of the AMPV EAB as a potential AoA candidate in fiscal year 2015, the Army has not yet decided whether 

to proceed with that particular AoA. Therefore, the Committee directs the Army to conduct an Analysis of Alternatives for an AMPV 

EAB requirement in fiscal year 2015, and allocates $4,000,000 only 

for that purpose from within available funds. Further, the Army is 

directed to report to the congressional defense committees within 

fifteen days of completion of the AoA on its findings and results. 

Patriot Modernization.—The fiscal year 2015 budget request includes $152,991,000 in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army for Patriot Modernization, an increase of $117,957,000 

over amounts appropriated in fiscal year 2014. The Committee has 

previously expressed concerns in Senate Reports 113–85 and 112– 

196 regarding the lack of clearly defined requirements for this program, the absence of an acquisition strategy that embraces competition, and a lack of full understanding of costs. These concerns 

are exacerbated by the fiscal year 2015 budget submission, which 

more than doubles projected funding required for Patriot Modernization through fiscal year 2018, compared to estimates provided for that same time period just 1 year ago. The Committee 

notes that this comparison does not include funding identified in 

this year’s budget submission for a future radar competition beginning in fiscal year 2017. Further, the Committee notes that exclud-
197 

ing the development and acquisition of a new radar, the Army 

plans to invest over $2,200,000,000 for modernization of the Patriot 

system over the next 5 years in Research, Development, Test and 

Evaluation, Army and in Missile Procurement, Army, and that the 

large majority of these funds would not be competitively awarded. 

The Committee does not believe this to be in the best interest of 

the Army or the U.S. taxpayer. 

Finally, the Committee notes that the Army has delayed submission to the congressional defense committees of reports required in 

Senate Report 113–85, which direct a plan from the Secretary of 

the Army that establishes an open system software architecture for 

future upgrades and technology refresh to the Patriot system in the 

near-term, and an acquisition strategy from the Secretary of the 

Army in conjunction with the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics that incorporates full and open 

competition for Patriot Modernization in the near-, mid- and longterm. Therefore, the Committee does not find the requested program increase justified, and recommends $37,991,000 for Patriot 

Modernization in fiscal year 2015, consistent with amounts appropriated in fiscal year 2014. 

In addition, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, in conjunction with 

the Director of the Office of Secretary of Defense Cost Assessment 

and Program Evaluation, to provide with the fiscal year 2016 budget submission a cost assessment of the acquisition strategy for Patriot Modernization, as well as an estimate of savings that would 

result from inserting competition in the acquisition strategy in the 

near-term. 

Network Integration Evaluation [NIE].—The fiscal year 2015 

budget request includes $105,279,000 to conduct two Network Integration Evaluation [NIE] exercises. The Committee notes that the 

Army continues to over-estimate costs for the NIE, resulting in repeated significant underexecution, accumulating carry-over funding 

and annual budget re-estimates. The Committee further notes that 

the Army intends to apply $20,000,000 of funds appropriated in fiscal year 2014 to fiscal year 2015 requirements. Accordingly, the 

Committee recommends a reduction to the fiscal year 2015 request 

to ensure the Army can execute the funds it is provided. 

Army Aviation Modernization Programs.—The fiscal year 2015 

budget submission includes $264,887,000 for the modification and 

product improvement of multiple aircraft. The Committee notes 

that this includes funds for no less than five major efforts, including two major acquisition programs, the UH–60L Digital Cockpit 

program and the Improved Turbine Engine Program [ITEP]. The 

Committee further notes that neither the UH–60L Digital Cockpit 

program nor the ITEP program has been fully funded for two consecutive budget cycles and that both programs are beset by repeated program delays. The Committee is concerned that the Army 

is again heading towards failure with two major acquisition programs, and does not believe this matter is alleviated by co-mingling 

funding for these programs with other aviation modernization efforts. Therefore, the Committee recommends adjusting the budget 

structure for the modernization of aviation platforms and directs 
198 

the Army to maintain the revised budget alignment in the fiscal 

year 2016 budget submission. 

Precision Weapons Testing.—The Committee understands that 

the Army is executing on-going technology and development programs for small, precision weapon munitions that provide low-collateral damage capabilities in urban environments and counter-insurgency operations. The Committee encourages the Army to continue to develop and flight test guidance, navigation, control, and 

targeting capabilities on small, precise weapons. 

Military Batteries.—The Committee recognizes the critical nature 

of high quality batteries to power military wheeled and tracked vehicles in austere, demanding environments. The Committee understands that utilizing batteries based on decades-old design poses 

potential risks to equipment and personnel, and that the Army has 

increased use of batteries based on modern designs that deliver improved performance in tactical environments. The Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide with the fiscal year 2016 

budget submission a report detailing safety incidents by different 

types of battery models used. 

Materials Technology for Strategic Defense.—The Committee 

notes the Army Research Laboratory [ARL] is 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 academic community and industry 

through collaboration with ARL’s research staff, leading to continued technological superiority for the U.S. warfighter, and encourages the Army to review whether its strategic materials efforts 

could benefit from the Open Concept approach. 

Army Inventory Tracking.—The Committee is concerned about 

difficulties to effectively and efficiently manage and account for 

equipment returning from Afghanistan. This challenge also affects 

cataloguing, inventorying, and tracking of equipment in the continental United States. The Committee understands that the Army 

is testing automated inventory tracking and management solutions 

to address capability gaps, and encourages further testing and 

evaluation to determine if these solutions can be cost-effective, 

time-saving alternatives to the current means of cataloguing and 

tracking returning equipment. The Committee directs the Army to 

report to the congressional defense committees not later than 120 

days after the enactment of this act on the result of these evaluations. 

Health Surveillance Technologies.—The Committee is aware of 

Department of Defense efforts to use technology to improve surveillance of hospital-based patient safety and quality initiatives as well 

surveillance of acute and chronic public health disease threats. Deployment of these critical technologies has the ability not only to 

detect rarely occurring biological threat agents, but the ability to 

identify the occurrence of naturally occurring infectious illnesses. 

The technologies can be further modified to detect non-infectious 

diseases and chronic illness, and to conduct patient safety surveillance in the hospital and outpatient settings. The Committee encourages the Department to work with the medical and academic 
199 

community and continue its efforts in reaching the full deployment 

of these technologies.

[ONR] should support the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration’s ‘‘America’s Ocean Exploration Program’’ through continued cooperation on advanced technology, such as remotely controlled and autonomously operated vehicles. Where appropriate, 

the Committee encourages ONR to enable information sharing with 

other Federal research agencies by integrating and leveraging relevant research and data. 

Commonality for Command and Control Software.—The Department of the Navy spends a significant portion of its annual budget 

to procure, develop, and maintain numerous Command and Control 

[C2] software systems to meet the needs of Navy Flight Test 

Ranges. These systems contain common software components. 

Typically, software components are not off-the-shelf systems, leading to complex interoperability challenges which limit data sharing. 

Therefore, the Committee urges the Navy to identify concepts that 

enable the decoupling of software components for reuse in future 
210 

Government C2 systems at Naval Flight Test Ranges. In addition, 

the Committee encourages the Navy to evaluate the value of establishing a government owned-government led open source code repository. 

Navy Alternative Energy.—The Committee provides an additional $25,000,000 for Navy alternative energy research. The Committee 

encourages the Navy to expand ocean renewable energy testing, research, develop, and deploy for 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 [DOD] facilities. The Committee encourages the Navy to continue its investments in developing ocean renewable energy technologies, as defined in the Energy Independence and Security Act of 2007, and to coordinate with 

the Department of Energy and designated National Marine Renewable Energy Centers for ocean renewable energy demonstration activities at or near DOD facilities. 

Power Generation and Energy Storage.—The Committee supports 

the Navy’s investments in power generation and energy storage research. The Committee notes that development and deployment of 

lithium-ion batteries are critical to current and future missions, 

but safety incidents and concerns have made it challenging for 

operational utility. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Department of the Navy to continue development and qualification of 

technologies to reduce the risk of thermal runaway in lithium-ion 

batteries. 

HAZMAT Elimination.—Until recently, most on-board ship water 

purification systems used bromine as an antimicrobial. However, 

bromine is toxic, and requires special 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 LCS, CG, DDG, 

and FFG classes. The Committee urges the Navy to explore using 

systems that eliminate this HAZMAT threat to its personnel. 

Counter Anti-Access/Area Denial Capabilities.—The Committee 

remains concerned about the ability of U.S. naval forces to confront 

anti-access/area-denial environments in maritime domains, particularly in the Asia Pacific region. U.S. Forces face complex and sophisticated emerging ballistic and cruise missile threats that impact operational access and mission effectiveness. The Committee 

urges the Office of Naval Research to conduct research efforts on 

technologies that enhance the ability of U.S. naval forces to operate 

in heavily contested environments. 

Integrated Undersea Surveillance System.—The Committee understands that the Integrated Undersea Surveillance System provides the Navy with its primary means of submarine detection. The 

Committee believes that developing technology that is capable of 

autonomous installation of an undersea passive acoustic array 

should be a Navy priority. Therefore, the Committee encourages 

the Navy to continue developing this technology. 

Navy Integrated Capability Concept.—The Committee notes the 

Department of the Navy is pursuing a streamlined approach to integrating multiple weapon systems under the Navy Integrated Capability Concept. This concept will greatly enhance interoperability 
211 

across weapon systems in the Navy; however, the other military departments are not participating in these integration activities. In 

addition, this concept is directing the modification of Navy weapons 

systems, which is expected to cost over $4,000,000,000. The Committee believes that such a large financial commitment cannot be 

carried out without proper validation of requirements, which is required of any major defense acquisition program. As a result, the 

Committee directs the Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation 

[CAPE] and the Joint Requirements Oversight Council [JROC] to 

review and validate this cost and requirements of the concept and 

report to the congressional defense committees within 180 days of 

enactment of this act. 

Ohio Replacement Program.—The fiscal year 2015 President’s budget request includes $853,277,000 to continue development of 

the Ohio-class replacement submarine. The current fleet of 14 ballistic submarines are scheduled to retire in fiscal year 2027, after 

42 years of service. The Committee received testimony from the 

Chief of Naval Operations that replacement of the Ohio-class SSBN 

‘‘is the top priority program for the Navy’’ and encourages the same 

priority for the program in future years’ budgets. The Committee 

strongly urges the Navy to keep this program on schedule and 

within budget. 

F/A–18 and EA–18G Propulsion Upgrade Study.—The Committee encourages the Department of the Navy to continue researching potential F414–400 turbofan engine upgrades for the F/ 

A–18 and EA–18G. Therefore, the Committee fully funds the fiscal 

year 2015 request for the F/A–18 and EA–18G modernization plan. 

Amphibious Combat Vehicle.—This fiscal year 2015 request in- cludes $105,749,000 to begin development of the Amphibious Combat Vehicle Increment 1.1. The funding is requested to manufacture 33 prototype vehicles, conduct testing and other associated 

costs. The Committee is supportive of the Marine Corps’ Amphibious Combat Vehicle [ACV] program but is concerned with aspects 

of the proposed acceleration of the acquisition strategy, such as inadequate test schedules and excessive numbers of prototypes. 

Therefore, the Committee fully funds the fiscal year 2015 request, 

but rescinds $40,000,000 previously appropriated in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2014. The combined fiscal 

year 2014 and fiscal year 2015 funds allows ample funding for competitive contract awards in fiscal year 2015. 

Electromagnetic Railgun.—The Navy has initiated a new effort to 

transition several breakthrough technologies to the warfighter, including the electromagnetic railgun. The advantages of this capability include increased range over traditional propellant guns, enhanced lethality, increased ammunition storage capacity, and decreased costs when compared to current land attack missiles. The 

fiscal year 2015 President’s budget request includes, and the Committee fully funds, $58,696,000 to procure equipment and define 

ship modifications for a railgun demonstration on a Joint High 

Speed Vessel. 

In an effort to accelerate the railgun’s deployment and reduce the 

risk of this technology, the Committee encourages the Navy to fund 

a small railgun demonstration as proposed by the Defense Ordnance Technology Consortium. Demonstration of a smaller weapon 
212 

would allow for the rapid production, testing, and early fielding of 

a tactical railgun system. Once developed, this system may also be 

used for early fielding of an integrated air and missile defense system to provide testing components for other systems. 

By April 1, 2015, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense 

to submit a report to the congressional defense committees that 

outlines the Navy and Strategic Capabilities Office’s plan to demonstrate a small (10 mega-joule or less system) electromagnetic 

railgun system as a step to reduce program risk for follow-on development efforts. 

Unmanned Carrier Launched Airborne Surveillance and Strike 

[UCLASS] System.—The Committee supports the request of $403,017,000 to continue the development of the UCLASS program 

in three segments: the air segment, the control system and 

connectivity segment, and the carrier segment. The Committee is 

concerned that the Navy is proceeding with UCLASS development 

prior to the formal establishment of stable requirements. 

For example, earlier this year, the Navy issued a second draft request for proposals for the air segment, which included changes to 

the key performance parameters from the original draft. The 

changes in requirements forced industry to significantly change 

their air vehicle designs to better meet the amended parameters. 

This could have been avoided if the UCLASS requirements had 

been formally established through a Joint Requirements Oversight 

Council approved capability development document [CDD] prior to 

issuing a draft request for proposal. The Committee is concerned 

that the Navy is avoiding basic acquisition practices at the outset 

of a very large development program. To help ensure key performance parameters are well established and understood in the future, 

the Committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to obtain Joint 

Requirements Oversight Council approval of the UCLASS CDD before issuing the final request for proposal. 

MQ–4 Triton Unmanned Aerial Vehicle [UAV].—The fiscal year 

2015 President’s budget requests $498,003,000 to continue system 

development and begin modernization of the RQ–4 Triton UAV program. Last year, the program experienced a 2 year delay in development and added $312,000,000 across fiscal years 2014 and 2015. 

This year, the program has experienced an additional year delay 

and added $407,600,000 across fiscal years 2015, 2016 and 2017. 

The Committee is concerned with the cost and schedule breaches 

over the past few years. In addition, the Committee is troubled by 

the software development delays, the reduction of a test article, the 

development of a unique ground station, and the lack of anti-tamper systems to protect the critical technologies. Therefore, the Committee recommends deferring modernization until a review of the 

capabilities development document outlining the modernization 

program is performed by the Joint Review Oversight Council 

[JROC]. The Committee reduces the fiscal year 2015 research and 

development request by $60,000,000, and directs the Navy to use 

$5,000,000 to complete the analysis in support of the JROC review. 

The recommendation includes a separate modernization budget line 

item for transparency. 

Satellite Communications Interference.—The Committee is aware 

that the Department of the Navy is investigating methodologies to 
213 

decrease interference in satellite communication between the Mobile User Objective System [MUOS] satellite transmission and the 

terminals. The Committee is concerned about problems associated 

with interference in ground terminals for wideband satellite communications systems and encourages further development of technologies that can effectively address this interference. Therefore, 

the Committee fully funds the budget request for the satellite communication development program and encourages the Navy to work 

with small businesses to provide an affordable solution.

Technology Transfer.—The Committee recognizes the importance 

of the technology transfer program and recommends an additional 

$2,500,000 to complement and leverage current program efforts 

largely focused on licensing Department of Defense patents across 

a broad range of industries. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to apply the additional funds to universities with 

robust programs in aviation and aerospace research. The funds will 

allow these universities to lead the transfer of defense technology 
224 

to address specific technology shortfalls within the United States 

aviation and aerospace industry. 

The Competitive Rocket Innovation—Modern Engine Arrangement.—The Committee is concerned with the Air Force’s reliance 

on the Russian RD–180 engine to power the first stage of the Atlas 

V launch vehicle for assured access to space. When the Department 

originally decided to use the RD–180 engine, the Air Force committed to develop an advanced rocket engine that would eventually 

replace the RD–180. Unfortunately, the Air Force failed to make 

rocket engine development a priority, so the program remains a 

science and technology project with no formal completion schedule 

that would deliver a new engine in this decade. 

The fiscal year 2015 science and technology budget request in- cludes $43,059,000 for liquid rocket engine technology development. 

The Committee believes this level of funding falls short of the investment needed to create a viable new engine program and therefore adds $25,000,000. 

The Committee also recognizes that, in addition to assuring access to space for national payloads, civil space programs and the 

commercial launch industry would benefit from an affordable, domestically manufactured, advanced technology rocket engine that 

would be available to all launch providers. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to develop an affordable, competitive rocket engine development strategy that delivers 

a rocket engine by 2019. The strategy should include an assessment of the potential benefits and challenges of using public-private partnerships and innovative teaming arrangements. The Secretary of the Air Force shall submit the development strategy to 

the congressional defense committees no later than 180 days after 

the enactment of this act. 

Space Launch Range Services and Capability.—The Committee 

notes that a lack of competition for launch services over the past 

decade has resulted in significant launch costs and disincentives 

for industry to invest in development to improve launch capabilities. The Committee believes additional competition can be 

achieved by creating new opportunities within the United States 

launch infrastructure, including commercial and State-owned 

launch facilities. Increasing the capability and number of launch 

facilities helps to ensure our Nation’s ability to launch priority 

space assets. Therefore, to promote competition at launch facilities, 

$7,000,000 is provided to spaceports or launch and range complexes 

that are commercially licensed by the Federal Aviation Administration and receive funding from the local or State government. These 

funds shall be used to develop the capacity to provide mid-to-low 

inclination orbits or polar-to-high inclination orbits in support of 

the national security space program. 

Combat Rescue Helicopter.—The Committee fully supports the 

Air Force’s decision to proceed with an acquisition program to replace the aging HH–60G Pave Hawk combat search and rescue helicopter. Due to the timing of this decision, the President’s budget 

request for fiscal year 2015 reflects no funding in fiscal year 2015 

and a shortfall of $436,000,000 from fiscal year 2016 through 2018. 

Since 2010, the HH–60G Pave Hawk readiness rate has remained around 60 percent. However, the cost to achieve this rate 
225 

has grown an average of 7 percent year-by-year. Based on this 

data, the Committee believes it is unaffordable not to recap the 

aging Pave Hawk fleet. Therefore, the Committee provides an additional $100,000,000 in fiscal year 2015 and urges the Secretary of 

the Air Force to fully fund this program in the out-years consistent 

with the most recent decision on the program. 

The Committee notes that some combat rescue scenarios in the 

Africa Command and Pacific Command areas of responsibilities 

could create challenges to a pure rotor wing fleet. Therefore, to ensure the program addresses the full spectrum of combat rescue 

missions, the Committee encourages the Air Force to review the 

joint operational needs and requirements to determine if a high-low 

capability would best meet the combatant commander’s needs. 

The Committee also directs that should the Secretary of the Air 

Force consider terminating the combat rescue helicopter program, 

a 30-day written notification must first be provided to the congressional defense committees. This program is designated as a congressional special interest item. 

Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System [JSTARS] 

Recapitalization.—The Committee is encouraged by the Air Force’s 

effort to replace the aging, and increasingly costly, JSTARS E–8C 

aircraft, and supports the conclusions of Air Force’s Analysis of Alternatives [AOA] study. The AOA determined that a business jet 

aircraft outfitted with existing moving target indicator [MTI] radar 

and battle management command and control [BMC2] technology 

would meet the combatant commanders’ warfighting requirements 

at the lowest cost. However, the budget request shows that the Air 

Force intends to pursue a traditional acquisition program and expend nearly $2,000,000,000 on a research and development effort 

despite the fact that existing radars could be integrated onto existing business jet airframes. 

The Committee is concerned that the Air Force plans to begin retirement of this high demand/low density asset in 2016 just as it 

is embarking on an extensive development program with no production planned until 2019. Further, the Air Force plans to launch 

into competitive prototyping in fiscal year 2015 before a formal capabilities development document is approved that finalizes the system requirements to be prototyped. The Air Force states their plan 

is to leverage high technology readiness level communication, sensor, and BMC2 system technologies to reduce program cost, schedule, and risk. 

However, the program, as laid out, will not enter into the engineering, manufacturing, and development phase until fiscal year 

2017, with over $400,000,000 spent prior to that phase. The current acquisition strategy does not reflect the mature, affordable 

and existing components that will be utilized. 

The Committee believes this is an integration effort rather than 

a research and development effort, and for that reason, reduces the 

fiscal year 2015 request by $63,088,000, and directs the Secretary 

of the Air Force to reassess the acquisition strategy to shorten the 

development phase and enter into production earlier. 

B–52 Radar Replacement.—In March 2013, the Air Force submitted a report to the Committee that stated replacing the B–52 

radar will cost less than sustaining its existing radar for the re-
226 

maining service life of the aircraft. The Committee also understands that legacy radar sustainment costs will increase in the 

coming years, but the Air Force cannot afford the up-front development cost of a replacement radar. The Committee recommends the 

Secretary of the Air Force reassess the cost of a new radar versus 

the cost of sustaining the legacy radar, and consider including 

funds in the fiscal year 2016 budget request to begin replacement 

of the B–52 legacy radar system. 

Requirements Analysis and Maturation.—The Committee understands that the Department of Defense [DOD] has spent over 

$130,000,000 to develop and deploy multi-physics engineering software applications. These applications have been used in over 70 

pilot demonstration programs to improve the outcomes of DOD 

weapon system acquisitions though rapid virtual prototyping using 

high performance computing and software tailored for complex 

DOD weapon system issues. The Committee believes that the Department is on the verge of making a paradigm change in weapons 

system engineering. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Department to expand and institutionalize virtual prototyping in the 

weapon system acquisition process. The Committee provides an additional $3,000,000 to establish a systems engineering capability 

for DOD weapon system virtual prototyping based on high performance computing. 

Advanced Extremely High Frequency Terminals.—The Committee 

is concerned with the change to the Air Force’s plan that delays development and acquisition of Advanced Extremely High Frequency 

[AEHF] terminals for the bomber fleet of aircraft. The Committee 

believes that any gap in command and control of nuclear forces is 

unacceptable. Therefore, the Committee directs that the Secretary 

of the Air Force provide a detailed plan on how it will mitigate any 

bomber related command and control shortfall resulting from the 

revised AEHF terminal acquisition strategy. The report shall be 

submitted to the congressional defense committees not later than 

120 days from enactment of this act. 

C–130H Upgrades for the Air National Guard.—The Committee 

received a letter from the State Adjutants General of the National 

Guard outlining their support for continued modernization of the 

Air National Guard’s C–130H fleet. In this letter, the Adjutants 

General expressed their concern that the C–130H fleet would not 

be modified with Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast 

[ADS–B] Out capability prior to 2020. The letter highlights that 

the current $2,300,000,000 C–130 Avionics Modernization Program 

[AMP] does not include this critical ADS–B Out capability. Because 

the AMP does not include the ADS–B Out modification, the Committee is encouraged by the State Adjutants General request to 

pursue an alternative C–130 Communication, Navigation, Surveillance/Air Traffic Management [CNS/ATM] solution for the Air National Guard to meet the 2020 mandate. Therefore, the Committee 

would be willing to consider a reprogramming request submitted to 

the congressional defense committees transferring fiscal year 2015 

funds to the C–130 Airlift Squadrons budget line item in the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force appropriation 

to begin a program in fiscal year 2015. 
227 

High-Altitude Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance 

[ISR] Programs.—The RQ–4 Global Hawk provides unique capabilities that are in high demand supporting critical missions in all 

six geographic combatant command regions across the globe. Likewise, the U–2 aircraft provides unique intelligence, surveillance, 

and reconnaissance [ISR] capabilities and treaty verification data 

currently unmet by any other Air Force platform. In the fiscal year 

2015 budget request, the Air Force outlines its intent to begin retiring the U–2 fleet in 2016. The Air Force also proposes to begin 

work that will integrate the U–2 sensor onto the Global Hawk platform at a cost of $487,000,000, as reported in 2013. The Committee 

is concerned by the Air Force’s decision to retire a critical piece of 

its high-altitude ISR fleet without a high-altitude ISR transition 

plan, and the projected cost to upgrade the Global Hawk Block 30. 

Therefore, of the amounts appropriated in Research, Development, 

Test and Evaluation, Air Force for Global Hawk RQ–4 UAV, 

$77,100,000 intended for payload integration may not be obligated 

until the Secretary of Defense provides a classified report to the 

congressional defense committees. The report should identify the 

different types of high-altitude, combatant commander strategic 

ISR requirements, which platforms are or can be used to fulfill 

these requirements, and which requirements will not be met if the 

U–2 is retired. This report shall also contain an updated high-altitude ISR transition plan and an estimate of the cost to modify the 

Global Hawk Block 30 or any other platform. 

Arctic Domain Awareness.—The Committee is concerned with the 

pace of needed development in the arctic region, particularly with 

respect to arctic domain awareness. The United States currently 

has a limited weather satellite presence covering the region that 

will be further reduced by 2019. Therefore, the Committee directs 

the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the congressional 

defense committees, within 180 days of enactment of this act, outlining a plan to ensure arctic domain awareness coverage for the 

foreseeable future, including an assessment of the potential to partner with Canada on the Canadian Weather Satellite mission. 

Air Force T–1A Aircraft.—The T–1A aircraft is used to train all 

tanker and transport pilots and, due to its age, requires significant 

upgrades or a service life extension. The Committee supports section 139 of S. 2410, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, as reported, which requires the Air Force to submit 

to the congressional defense committees a report on the options for 

replacing or upgrading the T–1A aircraft’s capability. 

Minority Leaders Program.—The Committee encourages the Air 

Force Research Laboratory to invest in research activities that can 

be conducted by the Air Force Minority Leaders Program to meet 

critical defense capabilities, science and technology, future workforce, and technical program objectives for the Air Force. Additionally, the Committee urges the Air Force Research Laboratory to expand the research areas in which the Air Force Minority Leaders 

Program can participate.

Manufacturing and Innovation Centers.—The Committee notes 

the budget request supports five manufacturing innovation institutes. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to use 

these institutes to provide advanced manufacturing capabilities in 
238 

critical technology sectors, strengthen the defense industrial base, 

and promote the training of a technical manufacturing and engineering workforce. The Committee directs the Department to ensure that the private sector’s cost share at least equally matches 

the funding from Federal sources, and recommends that the Department limit direct core support for these institutes to 5 fiscal 

years. Prior to establishing a new institute, the Committee directs 

the Department to submit to the congressional defense committees 

a business case analysis of costs, requirements, and justifications 

for the selection of the award and include metrics-based performance measures to monitor performance and success of the institute. 

The institute performers can compete for other manufacturing technology and research funding available from the Federal Government at all times. Finally, the Department should encourage institutes to work with private sector partners on pre-competitive research activities, common technical standards, and joint technology 

and manufacturing roadmaps. 

Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency [DARPA] Basic Research.—The Committee provides an increase in basic research of 

5 percent over the fiscal year 2014 enacted levels across the services and the defense wide research and development accounts. Of 

that increase, the Committee provides an additional $30,909,000 

for DARPA basic research. As the Department’s leading research 

agency, the Committee understands that DARPA is best positioned 

to identify cutting edge research but believes it must utilize a 

wider set of colleges and universities, smaller defense contractors, 

and commercial firms. The Committee directs DARPA to submit a 

report to the congressional defense committees within 120 days 

after enactment of this act on its plan to utilize the additional 

funding. 

Additive Technology.—The Committee notes that additive manufacturing has revolutionized production in key commercial industries, ranging from automotive and aerospace to medical devices 

and now cellular phone sectors. Innovations in this field have resulted in unprecedented efficiencies in product design, energy consumption, and supply chain management. However, it can take a 

decade or more to insert new materials and processes into key defense supply chains. The Committee urges the Department of Defense to focus efforts on breaking down key barriers for wider 

usage of this groundbreaking technology in the defense industrial 

base. The Committee directs that the Under Secretary for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics report on the Department’s activities to: accelerate quality control and qualification of additive manufacturing technology in various defense supply chains; increase 

speed of additive manufacturing production processes to meet both 

low and high volume needs; and integrate commercial advances in 

additive manufacturing and 3D scanning into defense supply 

chains, including investment casting, electronics and communications, medical bracing and devices, and ground and aerospace vehicle production. 

Strategic Capabilities Office [SCO].—The Committee commends 

the Department of Defense for standing up the Strategic Capabilities Office to provide lower-cost, strategic alternatives for shaping 

and countering emerging threats. The Committee believes that 
239 

such efforts are a wise use of Government resources that can enhance current capabilities available to the services and combatant 

commanders. While supportive of these efforts, the Committee is 

concerned with the coordination of SCO initiatives with other service and Department of Defense research and development priorities. Therefore, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics [AT&L] to provide 

a report to the congressional defense committees on SCO’s current 

and long-term mission, a timeline for SCO project development and 

transition to Department or service activities, and the process by 

which SCO initiatives are coordinated with other service and Department research priorities. The report should also address how 

SCO efforts differ from those efforts typically funded through the 

joint capabilities and technology demonstration [JCTD] and rapid 

fielding initiatives. 

Technology Transfer Pilot Program.—The Committee directs the 

Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering to 

conduct a pilot program on public-private technology transfer ventures between Department of Defense research and development 

labs and centers and regionally-focused technology commercialization organizations, including accelerators, incubators, and innovation centers. The primary goal of the pilot program should be to increase the commercialization of intellectual property developed in 

the Department’s research and development enterprise in support 

of critical cross-service technological needs. Areas of focus should 

include but not be limited to energetics, aviation, unmanned systems, rapid prototyping, corrosion control, and water quality improvement. Technology commercialization partners and initial technology incubator partnerships should be selected through full and 

open competition emphasizing strong business plans, demonstrated 

expertise in mentorship and commercialization, and strong regional 

partnerships. The Secretary of Defense shall report to the Committee on the implementation of the pilot program by April 1, 2015. 

Gas Reactors.—The Committee is aware of the Department of 

Defense’s interest in developing capabilities that would allow for 

self-contained power generation for military installations. In 2011, 

the Center for Naval Analysis released a study outlining new nuclear plant designs which could provide modular power generation, 

such as smaller scale high temperature gas reactors that use pebble bed technology. The Committee urges the Secretary of Defense 

to study the feasibility of such technology to include an evaluation 

of the safety and efficacy of this technology and determine whether 

a future set of prototype systems should be considered for development. The Committee requests that the Secretary of Defense consider the expedited licensing paths, development strategies, and 

recommended next steps for maturing this technology as part of 

the recommended study. 

UAS Common Development Program.—The Committee notes that 

the Federal Aviation Administration [FAA] recently designated six 

unmanned aerial system [UAS] national test sites and plans to announce a UAS Center of Excellence soon that together will develop 

policies and standards to govern the integration of UAS into the 

national airspace system [NAS]. The Committee provides an additional $4,561,000 for the UAS Common Development and encour-
240 

ages the Department of Defense to coordinate with the FAA and 

National Aeronautics and Space Administration [NASA] in the development and demonstration of common UAS standards, architecture, and technologies. The intent of the effort is to ensure a consistent, nationwide approach to airspace integration across both 

civil and public sectors and in a way that protects privacy and the 

safety of other aircraft and people on the ground. 

MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY

Major Acquisition Program New Starts.—The fiscal year 2015 budget request includes $99,500,000 to initiate development of improved homeland defense interceptors, and $50,500,000 to initiate 

development of a long-range discrimination radar. The Committee 

notes that these are major defense acquisition programs with acquisition costs expected to exceed $1,000,000,000. Therefore, the 

Committee recommends transferring funding for these programs to 

separate program elements and directs MDA to follow that program element structure in future budget submissions. 

Further, the Committee believes that for each program, MDA 

should follow robust acquisition practices, to include conducting a 

full Analysis of Alternatives; seeking approval of requirements by 

the Joint Requirements Oversight Council; developing an acquisition strategy in accordance with DOD 5000.02 regulations; maximizing competition; and providing Office of Secretary of Defense 

Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation sufficient time to conduct an Independent Cost Estimate prior to reaching the milestone 

B equivalent of the development effort. The Committee directs the 

Director, Missile Defense Agency to provide the congressional defense committees an update on MDA’s progress implementing these 

acquisition practices within 60 days of enactment of this act. 

Ground-Based Midcourse Defense [GMD] Reliability and Maintenance Shortfalls.—The fiscal year 2015 budget request includes $1,003,768,000 for Ground-Based Midcourse Defense [GMD]. The 

Committee understands that subsequent to the budget submission, 

the Director, Missile Defense Agency, completed an assessment of 

the GMD system, which identified funding shortfalls of certain reliability and maintenance functions. Therefore, the Committee recommends an additional $30,000,000 only for Ground-Based Midcourse Defense [GMD] reliability and maintenance efforts, as authorized by S. 2410, the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2015, as reported. The Committee understands that the 

Director, Missile Defense Agency plans to report to the congressional defense committees no later than November 15, 2014, on an 

implementation plan for executing GMD reliability and maintenance improvement efforts. The Committee directs the Director, 

Missile Defense Agency, to include in that implementation plan details on MDA’s contracting strategy for GMD reliability and maintenance activities that meets program goals within cost and schedule while ensuring Government and industry accountability. 

Acquisition Accountability in MDA Software Development Programs.—The fiscal year 2015 budget request includes no less than $510,200,000 for Aegis and $417,816,000 for Command and Control, Battle Management and Communications [C2BMC] software 

development efforts. The Committee has previously expressed con-
241 

cerns regarding excess concurrency due to simultaneous development of multiple software spirals; the absence of acquisition program baselines for individual software spirals; the instability of 

software spiral content; and annual funding adjustments without 

explanation. The Committee notes that none of these concerns have 

been addressed with the fiscal year 2015 budget submission. Therefore, the Committee recommends sustaining Aegis and C2BMC 

software development efforts at prior year levels and adjusts the 

budget request accordingly. 

Acquisition of Targets.—The fiscal year 2015 budget request includes $485,294,000 for the acquisition of targets. The Committee 

notes significant volatility in MDA’s targets program, to include the 

adjustment of more than a dozen targets or target modules among 

multiple target classes between fiscal years. The Committee understands that MDA is working to address these issues, and expects 

to see improved acquisition performance for all target classes. The 

Committee further understands that improved acquisition performance will likely yield contracting efficiencies and recommends a reduction of $20,000,000. 

Standard Missile-3 Block IIA.—The fiscal year 2015 budget request includes $263,395,000 to continue co-development of the 

Standard Missile-3 Block IIA interceptor. This interceptor contributes to the European Phased Adaptive Approach [EPAA], which 

provides regional ballistic missile defense of deployed U.S. forces 

and our allies. The Committee is concerned by some of the technical challenges encountered during program development and recommends an additional $20,000,000 only for risk reduction activities. The Committee is further concerned that the fiscal year 2015 

budget request includes initial funding for 17 SM–3 Block IIA 

rounds—well in excess of test requirements—even though the design has not yet proven mature and appears to be cost-prohibitive 

at this point. Therefore, the Committee recommends reducing the 

budget request only for SM–3 Block IIA rounds by $50,801,000. 

The Committee notes that this recommendation provides sufficient 

funds to manufacture rounds in support of the flight test schedule, 

and does not delay the development or test schedule. 

Sharing of Classified United States Ballistic Missile Defense Information With the Russian Federation.—The Committee is concerned with the potential security risks associated with sharing 

sensitive U.S. missile defense data and technology with the Russian Federation. The Committee recognizes existing law restricts 

the sharing of sensitive and classified ballistic missile defense information with the Russian Federation, as established in Public 

Law 113–66, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 2014. The Committee expects the administration to continue 

to adhere to current law until superseded by an act authorizing appropriations for fiscal year 2015.

Threat Emitters.—In fiscal year 2014, the Department of Defense 

initiated an effort to address deficiencies in future weapon system 

capabilities by developing and funding a plan to acquire advanced 

electronic warfare threat emitters. In response to the Department’s 

actions, Congress transferred funds from the Test Resources Management Center [TRMC] program element to the Operational Test 

and Evaluation [OT&E] funding line to accelerate the development 

and fielding of these emitters. In transferring the funds, it was not 

the intent of Congress to create two duplicative efforts between the 

two testing agencies but rather to address a technology shortfall. 

While the Committee believes that TRMC is the best agency to 

carry out the overall mission of upgrading range infrastructure to 

address multi-service systems, there is concern the TRMC approach may not meet a timeline to address inadequacies of systems 

that are nearing initial operational capability. 

In an effort to eliminate duplication and encourage a streamlined 

approach to addressing the threat, the Committee directs the 

Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics [AT&L] and the Director of Operational Test and Evaluation 

[DOT&E] to develop a threat emitter execution plan, to be approved by the Deputy Secretary of Defense, that allows for rapid 

acquisition of both open and closed loop threat emitters that can 

be used to test future weapons systems. The plan shall emphasize 

DOT&E and TRMC collaboration and transparency while eliminating mission duplication between the two organizations; and 

identify a single program executive to execute the open loop and 

closed loop fielding plan. Furthermore, the Committee directs that 

any purchases of open loop emitters beyond fiscal year 2015 be conducted under an open and competitive process. The Committee believes that it is in the best interest of national security and to the 

taxpayer that both testing agencies set aside their competing plans 

and work together to find common solutions to this threat.

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 million cases of MREs and projected an 

annual purchase rate of approximately 2.5 million 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 
244 

no later than 90 days prior to seeking any potential modifications 

to the War Reserve after September 30, 2014. Additionally, the Director shall provide an updated report on War Reserve requirements no later than March 31, 2015. 

Defense Commissary Agency.—The Committee recommends an 

increase of $200,000,000 for the Defense Commissary Agency 

[DECA] in fiscal year 2015 which is consistent with S. 2410, the 

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, as reported. The Committee also directs that the Committees on Appropriations of the House and Senate be recipients of the reporting requirements directed in the report accompanying S. 2410, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, as reported, 

titled ‘‘Department of Defense proposal to modify commissary benefit.’’ 

Additionally, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 

provide the following information to the congressional defense committees no later than December 1, 2014: 

—a breakdown showing the average percentage of commissary 

patrons by enlisted members, officers and retirees; 

—surveys or other data on the value placed on commissary access by its patrons, especially in comparison to other benefits; 

—a description of the impact of sequestration in fiscal year 2013 

on the Defense Commissary Agency and commissaries; and 

—a detailed description of how the fiscal year 2015 proposal to 

limit appropriated fund support to commissaries would be implemented in each year of the future years defense program if 

approved by Congress.

National Defense Sealift Fund [NDSF].—In the fiscal year 2015 

budget request, the Navy proposes the elimination of the National 

Defense Sealift Fund [NDSF], which was established in fiscal year 

1993 to address shortfalls in U.S. sealift capabilities. While the 

Committee has lingering concerns over some previous application 

of NDSF funds, the Committee sees no reason to eliminate the 

NDSF in its entirety. Therefore, the Committee recommends retaining the NDSF and transferring funds included in the Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy; Research, Development, Test and 

Evaluation, Navy; and Operation and Maintenance, Navy accounts 

for functions previously funded in the NDSF back into the NDSF. 

The Committee directs that none of these funds may be used for 

the development or acquisition of ships.

Investments in Medical Research.—The Committee notes that 

Federal investment in medical research has generated medical discoveries and scientific innovations that have led to longer lives, created new industries, and established the United States as a leader 

in research and development. In order to maintain our Nation’s 

global leadership and facilitate future live-saving discoveries, the 

Committee adds a total of $789,200,000 for medical research, a 5 

percent increase over the Committee’s fiscal year 2014 recommendation. 

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 
249 

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 has received and also remains concerned with reports that substantial amounts of funding are transferred from the 

Private Sector Care budget sub-activity without the submission of 

written notification, as required by previous Department of Defense 

Appropriations Acts. 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. Furthermore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the congressional defense 

committees not later than 30 days after the enactment of this act 

that delineates transfers of funds in excess of $10,000,000, and the 

dates any transfers occurred, from the Private Sector Care budget 

sub-activity to any other budget sub-activity groups for fiscal years 

2012, 2013, and 2014. 

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 2015, 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 2014 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 $1,356,245,000 in fiscal 

year 2011, $1,463,178,000 in fiscal year 2012, and $519,427,000 in 

fiscal year 2013 for an average of 7.1 percent underexecution. 

Given the continued trend of prior-year underexecution, the Committee believes that additional savings can be realized and recommends a reduction of $855,000,000 to the fiscal year 2015 budget request. The Committee urges the Department to submit future 

year budgets that are more closely aligned with recent provided 

care patterns. 

Core Medical Research Funding.—The Committee notes that the 

Department’s fiscal year 2015 budget for medical research, excluding information technology, severely declined. Core research and 
250 

development funding supports medical research in medical training 

and health information sciences, military infectious diseases, military operational medicine, combat casualty care, radiological 

health, and clinical and rehabilitation medicine. The Committee believes that this research yields important advances in medical care 

for servicemembers and their families, as well as the larger civilian 

population. Therefore, the Committee recommends $162,200,000 to 

restore this unjustified funding reduction and allow the Department to continue funding its core research priorities. 

Collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs.—Over the 

past several years, collaboration between the Department of Defense [DOD] and the Department of Veterans Affairs [VA] has significantly increased and the number of joint projects and services 

has expanded. The Committee applauds these efforts and believes 

that future information sharing between DOD and VA must 

strengthen in order to ensure a seamless transition from active 

duty and timely access to VA benefits. Nowhere is this more fundamental than in the transmission of Service Treatment Records 

[STRs] from DOD to VA. These records are essential in the VA’s 

process of making accurate and timely determinations of benefits 

to which a veteran may be entitled. 

The Committee applauds the electronic transfer from DOD to the 

VA, beginning on January 1, 2014, of certified and complete STRs 

for all separating servicemembers via the Health Artifacts and Imaging Management System [HAIMS]. This process has streamlined 

the exchange of a significant amount of data between DOD and VA 

and shortened the amount of time it takes for VA claims adjudicators to receive critical information from DOD. The Committee applauds DOD on the establishment of a liaison cell whose focus is 

uploading certified STRs into HAIMS. The Committee recommends 

an additional $3,600,000 for the continuation and improvement of 

HAIMS and directs DOD to upload the STR of all separating 

servicemembers into HAIMS within 45 calendar days of a 

servicemember’s separation. 

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 directed the DOD 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 Committee is currently waiting for the 

completion and release of the report and looks forward to reviewing 

its recommendations. 

The Committee understands that Guard and Reserve records are 

often the most difficult for the VA to obtain because many of these 

veterans saw multiple, non-consecutive deployments with different 

units. In January 2014, DOD created three service Single Points of 

Entry for VA to contact for information requests. The Committee 

understands that DOD and VA are still collaborating on expanding 

the Single Points of Entry concept to assist in the transfer of 

Guard and Reserve records and encourages both Departments to 

standardize this process in order to ensure the timely processing of 

benefits for Guard and Reserve servicemembers. 

In October 2010, DOD and VA established a first-of-its-kind partnership with the opening of the Captain James A. Lovell Federal 
251 

Health Care Center [FHCC]. This is a fully integrated Federal 

healthcare facility that serves active duty military, their family 

members, military retirees, and veterans. The Committee continues 

to support the pilot program at FHCC. 

Electronic Health Record [EHR].—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 notes that, despite improvements in providing information on prior year budgets and expenditures on its electronic 

health record, the Department of Defense failed to provide the 

Committee with an equivalent level of detail for its fiscal year 2015 

budget request. The Committee continues its restriction on the 

amount of funding that may be obligated for the Interagency Program Office [IPO], the Defense Healthcare Management Systems 

Modernization [DHMSM] program, and the Defense Information 

Management Exchange [DMIX] to 25 percent of the funding provided until the Secretary of Defense provides the House and Senate 

Appropriations committees an expenditure plan that includes numerous reporting requirements. 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 in excess of 

$5,000,000. 

The Committee directs the Program Executive Officer [PEO] for 

DHMSM 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. 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. 

Finally, the Committee directs the IPO 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. 

Integrated Disability Evaluation System.—The Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, shall 

develop a plan to improve the sharing of information necessary to 

predict and address surges in workload within the Integrated Disability Evaluation System. Further, the Departments shall integrate information technology systems to ensure an end-to-end in-
252 

formation technology solution is in place for both the transfer and 

management of Integrated Disability Evaluation system cases between the military services and Department of Veterans Affairs no 

later than December 31, 2014. 

Traumatic Brain Injury [TBI]/Psychological Health.—The Committee recommends $60,000,000 above the fiscal year 2015 budget 

request for continued research into treatment and prevention 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 

within 180 days of 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. 

Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program.—The Committee recommends $247,500,000 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, advanced prosthetics, alcohol and 

substance abuse, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, arthritis, autism, 

chronic migraine and post-traumatic headache, congenital heart 

disease, Dengue, diabetes, DNA vaccine technology for 

postexposure prophylaxis, duchenne muscular dystrophy, dystonia, 

food allergies, Fragile X syndrome, gulf war illness, healthcare-acquired infection reduction, hepatitis B, hereditary angioedema, hydrocephalus, inflammatory bowel disease, integrative medicine, interstitial cystitis, lupus, malaria, metals toxicology, mitochondrial 

disease, multiple sclerosis, nanomaterials for bone regeneration, 

neurofibromatosis, orthopedics, osteoarthritis, pancreatitis, Parkinson’s, pathogen-inactivated dried plasma, polycystic kidney disease, 

post-traumatic osteoarthritis, psychotropic medications, pulmonary 

fibrosis, reconstructive transplantation, respiratory health, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, sleep disorders, spinal cord injury, 

tinnitus, tuberous sclerosis complex, 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. 

The Committee remains supportive of the medical research being 

conducted by the Department that yields medical breakthroughs 

for servicemembers and often translates to the civilian population, 

as well. The Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense 

(Health Affairs) to provide a report to the congressional defense 

committees within 180 days of enactment of this act on the breakdown of funding in the Congressionally Directed Medical Research 

program between basic and advanced research. 
253 

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, kidney cancer, liver cancer, melanoma, 

mesothelioma, myeloproliferative disorders, neuroblastoma, pancreatic cancer, 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. 

Orthotics and Prosthetics Outcomes Research.—The Committee 

provides $10,000,000 in support of orthotics and prosthetics outcomes research and directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense 

(Health Affairs) to provide a report not later than 180 days after 

the enactment of this act to the congressional defense committees 

on the peer-reviewed projects that receive funding. The report 

should include the funding amount awarded to each project and the 

anticipated effect on patient care. 

Collaboration on Medical Research.—The Committee notes that 

the Department of Defense [DOD] coordinates with several other 

Federal agencies, especially the National Institutes of Health 

[NIH], through its peer-review process for medical research. NIH 

currently uses the Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools [RePORTER] to consolidate reports, data, and analyses of NIH research activities, including information on expenditures and the re-
254 

sults of supported research. The Committee understands that DOD 

signed a memorandum of agreement in February 2014, to initiate 

a pilot program to begin sharing DOD research data into RePORTER. The Committee is supportive of this collaboration and directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs to provide the Committee a report on the status of this pilot program not 

later than 90 days after enactment of this act. The report should 

include a full description of the pilot program, a timeline of its implementation, and any impediments for the Department in 

uploading all of its research information into the database. 

Additionally, DOD and NIH worked together to create the Federal Interagency Traumatic Brain Injury Research [FITBIR] system, a centralized database for traumatic brain injury [TBI] research. FITBIR serves as a central repository for new data, links 

to current databases, and allows valid comparison of results across 

studies. The Committee supports this type of collaboration and believes it is a crucial step in addressing the critical gaps in knowledge regarding the diagnosis and treatment of TBI. The Committee 

encourages continued collaboration between DOD and NIH in order 

to avoid duplication of effort and maximize Government investments in medical research. 

In order to build on this collaboration, the Committee directs the 

Department to contract with the Institute of Medicine [IOM] to 

evaluate the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program 

[CDMRP] and provide a report to the congressional defense committees not later than 12 months after enactment of this act. The 

report should include an evaluation of the CDMRP two-tiered peer 

review process, its coordination of research priorities with NIH, 

and recommendations for how the process can be improved. The 

Committee notes that the peer review system used in the CDMRP 

is the recommendation of a 1993 IOM report and was modeled 

after the NIH system. The inclusion of patient advocates in the 

CDMRP peer review has been a highly regarded addition to the 

process, and the Committee believes that these voices provide a 

valuable contribution. 

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 Committee has asked the Government Accountability Office to review this issue including the Departments’ current inventory of mental health providers, current 

and future needs for providers, challenges the Department faces in 

recruitment and retention, actions taken to mitigate these challenges, and recommendations going forward to ensure an adequate 

inventory of mental health professionals within the Military Health 

System. The Committee looks forward to the receiving the results 

of this review and working with the Department to provide the 

tools necessary to implement any recommendations. 
255 

Brain Tissue Repository.—The Committee applauds the Department’s recent efforts in advancing the study and treatment of traumatic brain injury [TBI] 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. Its researchers need access to post-mortem tissues from servicemembers affected by blast 

injury, but there are currently significant hurdles to gaining access 

to these invaluable resources. The Committee directs the Assistant 

Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to provide a report outlining 

strategies for overcoming roadblocks to post-mortem brain donation 

in the military, including consent issues, that are preventing access 

to needed resources not later than 180 days after enactment of this 

act. The Committee maintains that respect and care for the deceased and their families is of utmost consideration moving forward 

and believes that thoughtful and effective strategies for increasing 

post-mortem donation will be key in developing potential interventions, treatments, and cures for this devastating condition. 

Global Health.—The Committee recognizes the critical contribution that the Department’s research and development [R&D] portfolio makes in protecting our troops from infectious and neglected 

diseases they may encounter on missions around the world. The 

Committee also recognizes the need to sustain and support U.S. investment in this area by fully funding those R&D programs that 

carry out this work within the Defense Health Program; Department of the Army and Department of the Navy Research, Development, Test and Evaluation [RDT&E]; and RDT&E, Defense-Wide 

budgets. 

The Committee directs each program within the Department of 

Defense currently involved in infectious disease related research to 

submit a report on its R&D activities to the congressional defense 

committees outlining the program’s funding and accomplishments 

from fiscal years 2011 through 2014. The report should also include 

each program’s goals moving forward and funding needs across the 

Future Years Defense Program. 

Additionally, the Committee recognizes 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. 

Healthy Base Initiative.—The Committee is encouraged by the 

Department’s development of the Healthy Base Initiative [HBI], 

which holds the promise of substantially shifting behavior and 

practice to improve the wellness and resilience of the Nation’s military, their families, and the communities that support them. The 

Committee is particularly supportive and encouraged that, to date, 

the program has included bases representing each service, as well 
256 

as the Guard and Reserve. The Committee encourages the Department to commit internal structures and processes to ensure the 

program’s permanence. 

The Committee recommends that the Department: (1) issue necessary instructions or directions to ensure HBl’s sustainability, including the training of DOD leadership at all levels about HBI; (2) 

expand HBI’s scope beyond tobacco use cessation and obesity to 

better align with a broader whole systems approach, such as Total 

Force Fitness; (3) develop a multi-stakeholder working group, including strong public-private partnerships that engage surrounding 

communities and leaders, to support the design and execution of an 

expanded HBI; (4) identify and implement appropriate program 

metrics to measure impact on health as described in Total Force 

Fitness; and (5) establish a single, fully accountable, vested DOD 

official in charge of HBI within the Office of Military Community 

and Family Policy of the Under Secretary of Defense (Personnel & 

Readiness). 

The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2014 included $3,000,000 

to expand HBI, and the Committee looks forward to reviewing the 

progress report on the status of the program due in July 2014. The 

Committee recommends $3,000,000 in Operation and Maintenance, 

Defense-Wide for the continuation and expansion of HBI. 

Reconstructive Transplantation.—The Committee understands 

that the Department’s continued research into reconstructive transplantation will allow surgeons to refine techniques for hand, face, 

and other vascularized composite tissue allografts such as the 

transplants of skin, muscle, tendon, nerves, bone, and blood vessels. This work has immediate and transformative implications for 

wounded warriors and civilian patients alike, allowing those with 

debilitating, disfiguring and disabling injuries to regain their independence. The Committee includes reconstructive transplant 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. 

Prescription Effectiveness of Psychotropic Medications.—The 

Committee supports the Department’s efforts to treat patients diagnosed with behavioral health disorders and believes that recent 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 understands that this research 

is currently taking place at Walter Reed National Military Medical 

Center and Fort Belvoir Community Hospital and encourages its 

expansion to additional sites as preliminary findings have shown 

promising results. 

Trauma Research Clinical Trials Network.—The Committee recognizes that trauma-related deaths impact our military services as 

well as the general civilian population, and the life-saving impact 

of trauma clinical research can be seen on the battlefield and in civilian trauma response. The Committee believes the Department of 

Defense should maintain the momentum on advances in trauma 

care and build on the success achieved by the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine [AFIRM] and the recent consortiums 

on Traumatic Brain Injury [TBI] and Post-Traumatic Stress Dis-
257 

order [PTSD], which combine efforts across the Federal Government. The Committee encourages the Assistant Secretary of Defense for 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 create a Trauma Research Clinical Trials Network and Repository. 

Military Integrative Medicine.—The Committee recognizes that 

chronic pain disorders are increasingly prevalent among 

servicemembers and that the Department has established a Clinical and Rehabilitative Medicine Research Program to focus research on alternatives to opioid analgesics for pain management. 

Further, the Committee supports the growing focus on integrated 

and patient-centered practices and models of care within the Military Health System. The Department’s Pain Task Force has highlighted the challenges of pain management for today’s 

servicemembers and their families, the problem of overmedication, 

and the necessity to evaluate and implement non-pharmaceutical 

pain management approaches. Several recently published systematic reviews and expert roundtables show the promise of active selfcare, complementary, and integrative practices as varied as meditation, tai chi, yoga, and acupuncture for the management of chronic 

pain. 

The Committee strongly encourages the Department to create a 

systematic, centralized approach to evaluating the implementation 

of integrative medicine by working with organizations that conduct 

research in these areas and have relevant subject matter expertise 

and significant military experience. The evaluation should measure 

and analyze the cost effectiveness of integrative medicine approaches and establish timely and articulate channels to disseminate the findings throughout the Military Health System. The 

Committee believes that such an evaluation of integrative medicine 

approaches will show which practices are most effective and efficient and allow the Department to confidently expand their implementation. 

Hydrocephalus Research.—The Committee is concerned that of 

the estimated 294,000 servicemembers who have sustained a traumatic brain injury [TBI] in Operations Enduring Freedom and 

Iraqi Freedom, over 30,000 are expected to develop 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. 

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 
258 

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 provides 

$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. 

Obesity Treatment Options.—The Committee recognizes that obesity is an underlying cause of several chronic conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and certain cancers including 

breast and colon cancer. While the Department has taken some 

steps to address obesity, it does not currently provide comprehensive access to a full complement of medical treatments for obesity. 

The Committee encourages the Department to meet with experts in 

the field of obesity, such as the Obesity Action Coalition, the American Medical Association, and the American Association of Clinical 

Endocrinologists, to better understand the science and current 

medical treatments for obese or overweight patients. 

Military Medical Photonics.—Military Medical Photonics research improves battlefield patient care using photomedicine technologies and exemplifies how mission-oriented research can benefit 

both military and civilian populations. Recent breakthroughs in 

this research include advances in the removal of kidney stones, diagnosis and treatment of major eye diseases, normalization of se-
259 

vere scarring from war wounds, and rapid imaging of coronary artery disease. The Committee understands that the budget for Military Medical Photonics research decreased significantly from 

$6,238,000 in fiscal year 2014 to $2,087,000 in the fiscal year 2015 

budget request. The Committee encourages the Department to fund 

this important research at historical levels in future budgets. 

DNA Vaccine Technology for Post-Exposure Prophylaxis.—The 

Committee is concerned that the Army has not emphasized the production of polyclonal antibodies as part of its DNA vaccine technology research. The Committee continues to encourage the Army 

to conduct research that focuses on producing polyclonal antibodies 

in anseriformes through DNA vaccines. 

Medical Defense Against Infectious Disease.—The Committee recognizes the importance of medical countermeasures to naturally occurring 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. Finally, 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 

non-profit organizations to mitigate duplication of effort and maximize the use of Department resources. 

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. 

Access to Military Treatment Facilities.—The Committee is aware 

of unobligated balances from funds appropriated in section 8110 of 

the Department of Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 

2011. The Committee believes that these unobligated balances 

should be utilized for the purposes for which they were originally 

appropriated. Accordingly, the Committee directs the Secretary of 

Defense to submit a report to the congressional defense committees 

not later than 60 days after the enactment of this act on any remaining balances from funds appropriated in section 8110 of the 

Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2011. The report shall 

include the amount of remaining balances and an execution plan 

for these funds that will improve access to the Department’s military treatment facilities. 

Antimicrobial Stewardship Programs.—The Committee encourages the Department to implement antimicrobial stewardship pro-
260 

grams at all its medical facilities and develop consistent ways to 

collect and analyze data on antibiotic usage, healthcare outcomes 

(such as Clostridium difficile infections), and antimicrobial resistance trends in order to evaluate how well these programs are improving patient care and reducing inappropriate antibiotic use. The 

Committee also encourages the Department to provide antibiotic 

usage and antimicrobial resistance data to the Centers for Disease 

Control and Prevention’s National Healthcare Safety Network.

National Guard Counter-Drug Program.—The Committee remains concerned that the Department continues to reduce funding 

for the National Guard Counter-Drug program, and disagrees with 

the fiscal year 2015 President’s budget request to eliminate funding 

for operation of the Counter-Drug Schools program. The counterdrug 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. To ensure this training remains available, 

the Committee provides $216,700,000 to the National Guard 

Counter-Drug program and directs the National Guard Bureau to 

continue operation of the existing counter-drug schools to achieve 

their full mission.

OVERVIEW

COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION

The Committee recommends $58,255,711,000 of additional appropriations for overseas contingency operations in fiscal year 2015. 

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 

Enduring Freedom on a monthly basis in the Cost of War Execution report as required by Department of Defense Financial Management Regulation, chapter 23, volume 12. The Committee further directs the Department to continue providing the Cost of War 

reports to the congressional defense committees that include the 

following information by appropriation: funding appropriated, funding allocated, monthly obligations, monthly disbursements, cumulative fiscal year obligations, and cumulative fiscal year disbursements. 
273 

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. 

COUNTERTERRORISM PARTNERSHIPS FUND

The Overseas Contingency Operations budget request includes $4,000,000,000 for the Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund [CTPF] 

in the Department of Defense. An additional $1,000,000,000 was 

requested for the Department of State in a similar fund. The intent 

of the CTPF is to supplement ongoing counterterrorism and crisis 

response activities by the United States, and to accelerate cooperation with key partner nations. 

The Committee supports increased engagement with partner nations to address emerging threats. The United States Armed Forces 

cannot be expected to respond unilaterally to an increasing number 

of complex terrorist threats in the Middle East, North Africa, the 

Sahel, the Horn of Africa, and other regions. The United States 

must have effective partners which can take responsibility for new 

security threats, and additional engagement with those nations can 

enhance those capabilities. 

However, the Committee is concerned with several aspects of the 

proposal. In particular, the Committee does not support broad exemptions from current laws that could result in the training of foreign security services that would otherwise be ineligible for such 

assistance. The Committee similarly does not support waiving the 

statutory caps on the amount of funds that may be used for cooperative counterterrorism activities. Additionally, the Committee has 

not been satisfied that there is a sufficiently specific plan in place 

to execute $4,000,000,000 over the next 3 years for the requested 

activities. Finally, additional policy questions should be raised as 

to whether the Department of Defense or the Department of State 

should be in the lead over the long term for training and equipping 

foreign security forces. 

Therefore, the Committee recommendation includes 

$1,900,000,000 for the CTPF, available for 2 years, with narrower 

authorities than those proposed in the request. These narrower authorities require that funds may be transferred only to certain appropriations which are actually related to counterterrorism missions and that human rights vetting must occur for any train and 

equip program for foreign security services. The Committee does 

not include a waiver for the authorized caps contained in the National Defense Authorization Act section 1206 and section 1208 

training and support activities; instead the Committee authorizes 

an increase in the caps when CTPF funds are transferred for use 

in those programs. The recommendation allows for up to 

$700,000,000 in 1206 train and equip programs in any fiscal year, 

and up to $80,000,000 in 1208 counterterrorism support programs 

in any fiscal year. 

In addition, the Committee recommendation includes 

$1,000,000,000 in additional funds for Operation and Maintenance, 
274 

Defense-wide, which may be used in fiscal year 2015 for additional 

counterterrorism partnership activities under existing authorities 

and budgeting mechanisms. Providing additional funds for counterterrorism activities within existing accounts will increase accountability and oversight. 

SYRIA TRAIN AND EQUIP AUTHORITY

The Committee is gravely concerned about the continuing civil 

war in Syria, including the serious humanitarian toll and the expanding counterterrorism crisis caused by the brutal actions of the 

illegitimate Assad regime. The Overseas Contingency Operations 

request includes a proposal to authorize the Department of Defense 

to engage in atrain and equip mission for vetted, moderate elements of the Syrian opposition. 

The Committee supports increased action by the United States 

and its regional partners to contain the crisis in Syria and hasten 

a negotiated settlement to end the conflict. The Committee also 

notes that S. 2410, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015, as reported, contains a similar authorization for the 

Department of Defense to supply equipment, supplies, training, 

and defense services to vetted elements of the Syrian opposition. 

The recommendation includes a provision which authorizes these 

activities through September 30, 2015, or until enactment of the 

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015. The provision requires that the Department of Defense conduct vetting of 

candidates for assistance from the Department of Defense, including for associations with terrorist groups and for commitments to 

a peaceful and democratic Syria under civilian rule. 

To remove any ambiguity on the role of the United States Armed 

Forces in supporting moderate elements of the Syrian opposition, 

the provision states that it does not authorize the use of the Armed 

Forces for combat operations covered by the War Powers Resolution. 

Finally, the authorization allows for the use of up to $500,000,000 from Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide, to 

carry out these activities. As noted above, the recommendation includes a $1,000,000,000 increase to this account for counterterrorism activities. The Committee strongly urges the Department of 

Defense to include funding for support to the Syrian opposition 

through normal budgeting processes in future requests, in order to 

maximize transparency and accountability in this sensitive, but 

critical, initiative. 

BALTIC STATES

The Committee is deeply concerned about the threat Russia’s recent aggression poses to Baltic States and supports programs that 

provide training and assistance to bolster the abilities of these nations to defend against possible future provocations. The Committee supports Department of Defense efforts to maintain U.S. 

military personnel rotations in these countries along with NATO’s 

Baltic Air Policing program. To that end, the Committee recommends not less than $30,000,000 from the European Reassurance Initiative be made available for the countries of Estonia, Lithuania, and Latvia. 
275 

OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS FUNDING MIGRATION

The Committee notes that there is not yet an understanding of 

enduring activities funded by the Overseas Contingency Operations 

[OCO] budget or a clear path forward in migrating enduring requirement resources to the base budget. The Committee is concerned about the potential for large portions of enduring activities, 

training, sustainment, and other military requirements being funded through the OCO budget. The Committee believes the Department of Defense would be accepting high levels of risk in continuing to fund non-contingency related activities through the OCO 

budget. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense 

to submit a report showing transfers of OCO funding to the base 

budget, at the program, project and activity level, for fiscal year 

2016. This report shall be submitted to the congressional defense 

committees at the time of the President’s budget submission for fiscal year 2016. 

MILITARY PERSONNEL 

The Committee recommends a total of $5,424,983,000 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.

National Guard and Reserve Reintegration Programs.—The Committee believes that National Guard and Reserve reintegration pro-
286 

grams, like the Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program [YRRP] and 

the Beyond Yellow Ribbon program, continue to provide value to 

service members and their families. Since 2008, more than 1.3 million National Guard members and reservists and their families 

have benefited from the Yellow Ribbon Reintegration Program. Information and counseling provided during YRRP events help mitigate the unique challenges associated with repeated transitions between military and civilian life, particularly for service members 

returning to rural areas far removed from traditional military support networks. In addition, State programs supported through the 

Beyond Yellow Ribbon program provide community-based outreach 

services that coordinate State and local resources into a single, 

comprehensive network of support throughout the deployment 

cycle. 

Given the proven track record of these programs in addressing 

many of the reintegration challenges facing Guard and reservists, 

particularly the vital mission of suicide prevention, the Committee 

believes the YRRP and Beyond Yellow Ribbon program have enduring value and encourages the Department to ensure their continued viability by transitioning each to its base budget request.

Recruiting and Retention of Women in Afghanistan National Security Forces.—Of the funds provided for the Afghanistan Security 

Forces Fund, the Committee directs that $25,000,000 be directed 

toward the recruitment and retention of women in the Afghan security forces. The funds should be focused on, but not limited to, 

providing appropriate equipment for female security and police 

forces, modification of facilities to allow for female participation 

within the security and police forces’ training to include literacy 

training for women recruits, and gender awareness training for 

male counterparts and recruitment of women to support the 2015 

parliamentary elections. The Committee directs the Department of 

Defense to provide periodic updates to the congressional defense 

committees on the efforts to increase women participation in the 

Afghan security forces. 

Afghan Pilot Training.—The Secretary of the Air Force has recommended the training of Afghan Air Force pilots and maintenance 

personnel on the A–29 Light Air Support [LAS] aircraft within the 

United States. The Committee is concerned about the aggressive 

training timeline planned by the Air Force and whether trainees 

will be able to operate and maintain U.S. provided aircraft in Afghanistan without coalition support and protection. The Committee 

also has questions about the rigor of planned threat vetting and 

screening before pilot trainees arrive in the United States. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide a report to the defense committees, no later than 60 days prior 

to the start of pilot training, outlining the plan to train Afghan 

LAS pilots, including pilot background checks, threat vetting, and 

screening planned prior to the arrival of pilots in the United States 

and any other planned safeguards. The report shall also include 

the timeline for aircraft delivery to Afghanistan and the plan to enable the Afghans to successfully operate and maintain the aircraft 

at a permanent base in Afghanistan.

combat losses and equipment left behind in theater, augment and 

upgrade equipment for deploying units, sustain munitions and 

other war consumables, and reset the units returning home to an 

equipment-ready status. Funding adjustments have been made in 

instances where the requirement was poorly defined, funding was 

requested ahead of need or program execution has been delayed.

High-Priority Items.—The Committee directs that the National 

Guard and Reserve Equipment account shall be executed by the 

Chiefs of the National Guard and Reserve components with priority 

consideration given to the following items: C–130 Propulsion Upgrades; C–130 and KC–135 Secure Line-of-Sight/Beyond Line-ofSight [SLOS/BLOS] Data Link and Situational Awareness Cockpit 

Displays; Chemical and Biological Protective Shelters; Coastal

ulation Training Systems; TACSAT Radios; Tactical Communications Equipment for MQ–9s; Tactical Trucks; Ultra-Light Tactical 

Vehicles; and Wireless Mobile Mesh Network Systems. 

National Guard and Reserve Equipment Report.—The Committee 

utilizes the annual National Guard and Reserve Equipment Report 

[NGRER] as a valuable repository for information on equipment requirements, inventories, and shortages for the Guard and Reserve 

components. In the fiscal year 2015 NGRER, the Army changed the 

way in which it calculated its equipment shortages to include modernized substitutes, and therefore the Army’s equipment shortage 

data was not included in the Report. The Committee notes that 

this is a break from past reports and that this change in calculation detracts from the usefulness of the Report. The Committee directs the Army to provide data excluding modernized substitutes in 

future NGRERs. 

Simulation Training Systems.—The Committee acknowledges 

that simulation training is a cost-effective means by which military 

units can improve tactical decisionmaking skills and readiness. The 

Committee encourages the Department of Defense to use a portion 

of National Guard and Reserve Equipment account funding to continue the procurement of simulation training systems and to seek 

the appropriate combination of Government-owned and operated 

simulators as well as contractor support in order to maximize efficiency and effectiveness.

Joint Improvised Explosive Device Defeat Organization 

[JIEDDO].—The fiscal year 2015 President’s budget request includes $115,058,000 in base funding and an additional 

$379,000,000 in title IX Oversees Contingency Operations [OCO] 

funding. However, the Committee denies this request in base and 

transfers $65,463,000 to title IX, as these requirements are war-related and should be funded through OCO funding. In all, the recommendation provides $444,463,000 for JIEDDO. 

The Committee recently received an interim report stating that 

the Department of Defense is transitioning JIEDDO’s roles and 

missions from its current focus on counter-improvised explosive devices [C–IED] to a much broader mission. The reports states the 

new mission ‘‘includes an ability to prepare for and react to battlefield surprise in counterterrorism, counter-insurgency, and other 

related mission areas beyond C–IED but with a significantly smaller footprint.’’ The final report with the detailed concept of operations will be finalized in September 2014. The Committee believes 

that the proposed change in roles and missions has not been justified, in part because there are already organizations that exist to 

conduct those missions. 

In addition, the Committee strongly believes that the request to 

establish a new organization runs counter to the letter and intent 

of section 8037 of Public Law 113–76, the Department of Defense 

Appropriations Act, 2014, which prohibits the establishment of a 

new field operating agency. The Committee notes that this legislative provision has been carried annually for several years, and the 

Committee recommendation continues that provision.

TITLE X 

OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS 

BILATERAL ECONOMIC ASSISTANCE 

FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO THE PRESIDENT

COMPLEX CRISES FUND

The Committee recommends $1,000,000,000 for Complex Crises 

Fund for the extraordinary costs of undertaking counterterrorism 

partnership efforts, responding to crises, and addressing regional 

instability resulting from the conflict in Syria, including to rescue 

scholars, and is designated for Overseas Contingency Operations 

[OCO]. The Committee authorizes up to 5 percent, in addition to 

amounts otherwise available, for administrative expenses. 

The Committee also provides authority to the Secretary of Defense to transfer and merge funds from the heading Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund in this act to this heading. 

INTERNATIONAL SECURITY ASSISTANCE 

DEPARTMENT OF STATE

CONTRIBUTIONS FOR INTERNATIONAL PEACEKEEPING ACTIVITIES

The Committee recommends $278,000,000 for Contributions for 

International Peacekeeping Activities for the extraordinary costs 

related to new and expanded international peacekeeping missions, 

including in the Central African Republic, and is designated for 

OCO. 

FUNDS APPROPRIATED TO THE PRESIDENT

FOREIGN MILITARY FINANCING PROGRAM

The Committee recommends $75,000,000 for Foreign Military Financing Program for the extraordinary costs of strengthening the 

capacity of partner states in Europe, including to support security 

sector reform, and is designated for OCO. 

GENERAL PROVISION—THIS TITLE 

SEC. 10001. This provision provides that sections 8002 and 8003 

of S. 2499, as reported to the Senate on June 19, 2014, shall apply 

to funds appropriated under this heading. 
(306) 

TITLE XI 

OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS 

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE—MILITARY CONSTRUCTION, DEFENSEWIDE

The Committee recommends $46,000,000 for ‘‘Military Construction, Defense-Wide’’, as requested, for a classified project at a classified location. 

European Reassurance Initiative Military Construction Proposal.—The funding request for the European Reassurance Initiative [ERI] included a provision allowing the use of up to 

$175,000,000 for unspecified military construction projects associated with the initiative. The ERI is funded through Department of 

Defense Operation and Maintenance [O&M] accounts. The Committee believes that military construction projects should be identified and funded within the appropriate Military Construction account, not with O&M funding over which the Military Construction 

and Veterans Affairs subcommittee has no visibility or oversight. 

Therefore, the Committee recommendation does not include a provision allowing the use of ERI funding for military construction. 

The Department is encouraged to work with the Committee to provide project-level detail, justification, and Military Construction 

funding requirements for any projects required to support the ERI. 
(307)
