TITLE III—OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE 

LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS

SUBTITLE B—ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENTAL PROVISIONS

Section 3XX—Elimination of Fiscal Year Limitation on Prohibition of Payment of 

Fines and Penalties from the Environmental Restoration Account, Defense 

 This section would eliminate a sunset date for the requirement for the 

Department of Defense to obtain congressional authorization before paying fines 

and penalties under the requirement set forth in section 2703 of title 10, United 

States Code. The current requirement for congressional authorization does not 

apply to funds authorized to be appropriated to the Environmental Restoration 

Account, Defense after fiscal year 2010. This section would strike any such date 

limitation. 

Section 3XX—Congressional Notice of Bulk Purchase of Alternative Fuels for 

Operational Use 

 This section would require the Secretary of Defense to notify the 

congressional defense committees 60 days before the bulk purchase of alternative 

fuels intended for operational use. 

SUBTITLE C—LOGISTICS AND SUSTAINMENT

Section 3XX—Additional Requirement for Strategic Policy on Prepositioning of 

Materiel and Equipment 

7
 This section would amend the strategic policy on prepositioned materiel 

and equipment required by section 2229(a) of title 10, United States Code, to ensure 

newly established crisis response elements are considered when developing goals, 

assessing challenges, and synchronizing requirements. 

Section 3XX—Comptroller General Reports on Department of Defense 

Prepositioning Strategic Policy and Plan for Prepositioned Stocks 

 This section would modify the reporting requirement in section 321 of the 

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66) to run 

through 2017, 3 years following the initial report due in 2014, for a total of four 

reports over 4 years. 

Section 3XX—Pilot Program on Provision of Logistic Support for the Conveyance of 

Excess Defense Articles to Allied Forces 

 This section would create a 2-year pilot program allowing the Secretary of 

Defense to provide logistics support for the conveyance of excess defense articles to 

allied forces participating in bilateral or multilateral training activities with the 

Armed Forces of the United States. This authority would be subject to funding 

limitations and would expire on September 30, 2016. The Secretary of Defense 

would be required to provide a report on the use of the authority to certain 

congressional committees at the end of any calendar year during which the 

Secretary carried out the pilot program. 

SUBTITLE D—REPORTS

Section 3XX—Repeal of Annual Report on Department of Defense Operation and 

Financial Support for Military Museums 

 This section would repeal an annual report by the Secretary of Defense on 

Department of Defense operations and financial support for military museums 

required by section 489 of title 10, United States Code. 

Section 3XX—Army Assessment of the Regionally Aligned Force 

 This section would require the Secretary of the Army to submit a strategic 

assessment of the regionally aligned force to the congressional defense committees 

concurrent with the submission of the President's budget for fiscal year 2016 

pursuant to section 1105 of title 31, United States Code. 

 The committee supports the U.S. Army's regionally aligned force (RAF) 

concept, but has concerns about the institutionalization of pre-deployment training, 

incorporation of lessons learned, and the adequate coordination of activities 

between contractors, Special Operations Forces, Army RAF units, and joint exercise 

partners. The committee is also concerned about the complexity of utilizing 

8
multiple funding authorities to support RAF activities and impacts associated with 

the long-term commitment of RAF forces to meet security cooperation requirements. 

The committee believes better coordination and long-term planning are needed to 

ensure RAF units maintain high levels of core mission readiness while supporting 

geographic combatant commander requirements. 

 The committee notes that while elsewhere in this report, the committee also 

directs the Comptroller General of the United States to assess the RAF concept, 

more specifically its employment in the U.S. Africa Command area of responsibility, 

the committee expects the assessment required by this section to be a separate and 

distinct forward-looking, internal assessment of the RAF concept, yet inform the 

Comptroller General’s work.

SUBTITLE F—OTHER MATTERS

Section 3XX—Clarification of Authority Relating to Provision of InstallationSupport Services through Intergovernmental Support Agreements 

 This section would transfer and redesignate section 2336 of title 10, United 

States Code, to chapter 159 of such title. This section would also define an 

intergovernmental support agreement and provide other technical changes. 

TITLE IX—DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE ORGANIZATION AND 

MANAGEMENT 

LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS

SUBTITLE A—DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE MANAGEMENT

Section 9XX—Assistant Secretary of Defense for Installations and Environment 

 This section would establish the position of the Assistant Secretary of 

Defense for Installations and Environment. The position would be appointed by the 

President, by and with the advice and consent of the U.S. Senate. The committee 

recognizes that the responsibilities of this organization already exist within the 

Department of Defense, reporting to the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, 

Technology, and Logistics. The creation of this Assistant Secretary of Defense 

position shall ensure no net growth in personnel or resources for the organization, 

and shall not be exempt from any directed headquarters reductions. 

Section 9XX—Authority to Require Employees of the Department of Defense and 

Members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps to Occupy Quarters on a 

Rental Basis while Performing Official Travel 

9
 This section would permit the Secretary of Defense to direct the use of 

adequate Government quarters, or the use of Government-leased quarters or 

lodging arranged through a Government program, by civilian employees and 

Uniformed Service members, while performing official travel. Section 5911(e) of title 

5, United States Code, currently states that an agency head may not require an 

employee or member of a Uniformed Service to occupy quarters on a rental basis 

unless the agency head determines that necessary service cannot be rendered or 

that Government property cannot adequately be protected otherwise. This change 

to title 5 is intended to provide travel cost savings and other benefits to the 

Department of Defense, without significantly reducing the quality and security of 

lodging for civilian employees and service members performing official travel. 

Section 9XX—Single Standard Mileage Reimbursement Rate for Privately Owned 

Automobiles of Government Employees and Members of the Uniformed Services 

 This section would establish a rate that provides adequate compensation for 

employees who perform temporary duty travel. It would apply to all Federal 

Government employees and members of the Uniformed Services traveling on behalf 

of the Federal Government in a privately owned automobile. 

Section 9XX—Requirement for Congressional Briefing before Divesting of Defense 

Finance and Accounting Service Functions 

 This section would prohibit the transfer of financial management functions 

out of the Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) until the Secretary of 

Defense privdes a briefing to the congressional defense committees on a transfer 

plan and certifies the transfer would reduce costs, increase efficiencies, maintain 

the timeline for auditability of financial statements, and maintain the roles and 

missions of DFAS. 

SUBTITLE B—TOTAL FORCE MANAGEMENT

Section 9XX—Modifications to Biennial Strategic Workforce Plan Relating to Senior 

Management, Functional, and Technical Workforce of the Department of Defense 

 This section would amend section 115b of title 10, United States Code, to 

modify the requirement for the Secretary of Defense to prepare a biennial Strategic 

Workforce Plan so as to cover "the senior management workforce" of the 

Department of Defense rather than the "senior management, functional, and 

technical workforce (including scientists and engineers)." 

TITLE X—GENERAL PROVISIONS 

LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS 

10
SUBTITLE E—MISCELLANEOUS AUTHORITIES AND LIMITATIONS

Section 10XX—Expansion of Authority for Secretary of Defense to Use the 

Department of Defense Reimbursement Rate for Transportation Services Provided 

to Certain Non-Department of Defense Entities 

 This section would amend section 2642 of title 10, United States Code, 

which authorizes the Secretary of Defense to use the Department of Defense 

reimbursement rate for transportation services provided to certain non-Department 

of Defense entities. That authority allows the Department to provide transportation 

services covered by that section at the same rate that the transportation element in 

Department of Defense charges Department of Defense units for similar services. 

SUBTITLE G—OTHER MATTERS

Section 10XX—Repeal of Authority Relating to Use of Military Installations by Civil 

Reserve Air Fleet Contractors 

 This section would repeal section 9513 of title 10, United States Code, 

relating to the use of military installations by commercial air carriers doing 

business with the Department of Defense. Under this program, the Secretary of the 

Air Force was authorized for Air Force installations, or in coordination with the 

Secretary of the other military services for other than Air Force military 

installations, to enter into contracts with air carriers authorizing the use of 

designated installations as a weather alternative, as a technical stop not involving 

the enplaning or deplaning of passengers or cargo, or, in the case of an installation 

within the United States, for other commercial purposes but was never utilized. 

Section 10XX—Authority to Accept Voluntary Services of Law Students and 

Persons Studying to be Paralegals 

 This section would amend section 1588 of title 10, United States Code, to 

authorize the Secretaries of the military departments to institute unpaid internship 

and externship programs for law students. 

Section 10XX—Limitation on Use of Russian-Flagged Airlift Aircraft to Support the 

Airlift Movement Requirements of the United States Transportation Command 

 This section would allow the use of Russian-flagged airlift aircraft to 

support airlift movement requirements of U.S. Transportation Command 

(TRANSCOM) only after the Commander, U.S. Transportation Command certifies 

to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 

Representatives, for each manifested cargo mission, that utilizing Russian-flagged 

airlift aircraft is the only means available to TRANSCOM to execute that particular 

manifested cargo delivery mission. 

11
TITLE XI—CIVILIAN PERSONNEL MATTERS 

LEGISLATIVE PROVISIONS

Section 11XX—One-Year Extension of Authority To Waive Annual Limitation on 

Premium Pay and Aggregate Limitation on Pay for Federal Civilian Employees 

Working Overseas 

 This section would extend, for 1 year, the authority to waive the limitations 

on the amount of premium pay that may be paid to a Federal civilian employee who 

performs certain work in an overseas location that falls under the responsibility of 

U.S. Central Command, an overseas location that falls under the responsibility of 

U.S. Africa Command, in support of a military operation, or in response to an 

emergency declared by the President. The payment may not exceed the annual rate 

of salary payable to the Vice President under section 104 of title 3, United States 

Code. 

Section 11XX—One-Year Extension of Discretionary Authority to Grant 

Allowances, Benefits, and Gratuities to Personnel on Official Duty in a Combat 

Zone 

 This section would extend by 1 year the temporary discretionary authority 

to Federal agencies to grant allowances, benefits, and gratuities comparable to 

those provided to members of the foreign service to an agency’s civilian employees 

on official duty in a combat zone. 

Section 11XX—Temporary Authorities for Certain Positions at Department of 

Defense Research and Engineering Facilities 

 This section would modify section 1107 of the National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014 (Public Law 113-66) to provide direct hiring 

authority to the laboratory director of specified laboratories for undergraduate and 

certain graduate students enrolled in the scientific, technical, engineering, or 

mathematics programs at institutions of higher education on a temporary or term 

basis. 

Section 11XX—Permanent Authority for Experimental Personnel Program for 

Scientific and Technical Personnel 

 This section would remove the sunset date and annual reporting 

requirement for section 1101 of the Strom Thurmond National Defense 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1999 (Public Law 105–261). 

 The committee notes that the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency 

has used this alternative personnel hiring authority to great effect since its 

inception. Furthermore, the committee believes that given the limited scope of this 

12
authority, the fact that there have been no reports of misuse or abuse in 15 years, 

and the fact that it does not authorize any new civilian billets for the Department of 

Defense, this authority should be made permanent. The committee believes that 

such unique hiring authorities will be important tools for the technical community 

in the Department to recruit, hire, and retain the Nation's top scientific and 

engineering talent. 

Section 11XX—Revision to List of Science and Technology Reinvention Laboratories 

 This section would amend the list of Science and Technology Reinvention 

Laboratories in section 1105(a) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 2010 (Public Law 111–84) to include the Army Research Institute for the 

Behavioral and Social Sciences and the Space and Missile Defense Command 

Technical Center. 

DIVISION B—MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATIONS

This section would cite division B of this Act as the ‘‘Military Construction 

Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2015.’’

ENERGY ISSUES

Comptroller General Utilities Disruption and Energy Security Mandate 

 United States military installations consume large amounts of energy and 

water to maintain effective installation operations and ensure mission readiness 

and capability. At the same time, U.S. utilities systems may be at risk from civilian 

power grid failures due to natural or manmade threats, including cyber threats and 

electromagnetic pulse events. The United States experienced significant power 

disruptions from severe weather events in 2012, including Hurricane Sandy which 

affected the northeast region, and the derecho which affected the mid-Atlantic, 

including the National Capital Region, as well as late winter storms in FebruaryMarch 2014 that left hundreds of thousands of customers without power in areas 

from the Northeast through the Midwest and parts of the Deep South. These 

weather events affected installations, housing, military logistics centers, training 

centers, military commands, and other critical military activities. As such the 

committee is concerned that the impact of such disruptions to an installation's 

electricity, potable water, and wastewater services has a direct impact on critical 

191
mission readiness. It is vital that military installations have the ability to maintain 

effective operations and energy security despite such disruptions. 

 The committee is encouraged that the Department of Defense and the 

military services are focusing on the potential for utilities service disruptions to 

impact installation mission capability and consequently to ensure the ability of the 

installations to nonetheless maintain operations. Still, it is not clear what efforts 

the Department is undertaking to ensure and promote energy security across its 

facilities. Accordingly, the committee directs the Comptroller General of the United 

States to undertake a study of the status of the Department’s and the military 

services’ actions to ensure mission capability and energy security in the event of 

potentially significant and long-term disruptions to electric, potable water, and 

wastewater services at domestic and overseas military installations. The study 

should address the following questions: 

 (1) What is the status of water and energy security plans, strategies, and 

related guidance to the military departments and the installations to ensure 

mission capability through the continued provision of electricity, potable water, and 

wastewater services in the event of natural or manmade disruptions? 

 (2) To what extent were domestic military installations able to maintain 

effective mission capability during natural or manmade utility service disruptions 

since 2012? 

 (3) How are the military departments and installations planning to 

continue ensuring mission capability and energy security despite the threat to 

electric, potable water, and wastewater services posed by natural or manmade 

service disruptions? The Comptroller General should report the results of this 

study to the congressional defense committees by March 2, 2015. 

Unmanned Aerial Vehicles Energy Efficiencies 

 The committee directs the Secretary of Defense to conduct a review of the 

energy efficiency initiatives, including non-conventional power sources, of 

unmanned aerial vehicles to extend range and endurance and increase speed. The 

review should also include an assessment on how the adoption of autonomous 

technology could reduce the demand for energy and logistics. The Secretary should 

submit the results of the review to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 

and the House of Representatives not later than April 1, 2015. 

LOGISTICS AND SUSTAINMENT ISSUES

Army Workload and Performance System 

 The Government Accountability Office (GAO) recently issued a report 

criticizing the Army's management of the Army Workload and Performance System 

(AWPS), the Army manpower requirements determination tool, and related 

matters. Remarkably, the Army failed to provide any responses to GAO's findings. 

This report noted that the Army failed to submit annual progress reports regarding 

192
implementation of AWPS master plan or catalog any revisions of the master plan to 

Congress as required by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 

2002 (Public Law 107-107). The initial master plans submitted to the committee 

were responsive and compelling and evidenced high-level interest within the 

Department of the Army. As a result, the committee concluded from those early 

reports and system demonstrations that the Army was serious about installing 

time, workload, and performance management systems across the Army 

infrastructure for all categories of labor, including logistics and sustainment. 

 The committee concludes that the Army's failure to comply with the 

directives in Public Law 107-107 requires a re-evaluation of how to complete this 

departmental task. The committee recommends that a high-priority Secretariatlevel project office and reporting structure be established with sufficient authority 

to implement the original, responsive master plan and its revisions. Further, the 

Secretary should affix responsibility for an inclusive, annual master plan 

implementation reporting process. 

 The committee expects the Government Accountability Office, as required 

by law, to evaluate the master plan and report to Congress on the Army's progress. 

As stated in previous committee reports (as well as Army reports), evaluation 

should include not only implementation throughout Army commands and 

infrastructure, but also assess whether budget submissions are supported by this 

data. In the committee report (H. Rept 104-131) accompanying the National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1996, the committee noted that the 

evaluation should include corporate-level systems and integration. Additionally, the 

committee directs the Comptroller General of the United States, as part of this 

ongoing work, to examine and report to the House Committee on Armed Services on 

how the workload and manpower data provided through the AWPS system could 

improve reporting and transparency for 50/50 workload reporting, including all 

maintenance activity in acquisition organizations, as well as Army Materiel 

Command. 

Auditability of Data Used to Measure Depot Maintenance Workload Distribution 

 The committee has become aware that, apart from the Army, the military 

departments have not involved their audit agencies in validating the data 

submitted for incorporation into the annual report to Congress required by section 

2466 of title 10, United States Code, also known as the "50/50 report," for several 

years. The committee is troubled by the finding that in the limited number of cases 

where auditors have been involved in reviewing these data, they identified 

significant errors. The committee is also aware that in some instances, the data 

included for submission related to depot-level workloads performed under 

contractor logistics support, interim contractor support, or other contractual 

arrangements are generated through the use of algorithms or other forms of cost 

estimation. In some cases, these estimates appear to have been generated using 

insufficiently rigorous methodologies. 

193
 These findings lead the committee to conclude the fidelity of the data 

supporting the annual "50/50 report" is questionable and could be distorting the 

true distribution of workload between the public and private sectors, reducing the 

committee’s confidence in the report’s accuracy and completeness, as well as 

inhibiting the military services from making fully informed decisions regarding 

source of repair in the context of section 2466 of title 10, United States Code. 

 The January 14, 2014, guidance titled "Reporting Guidance for the FY2013-

2015 Report to Congress on the Distribution of Department of Defense Depot 

Maintenance Workloads," issued by the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Logistics 

and Materiel Readiness, states that "Military departments and Agencies shall 

obtain the assistance of internal audit agencies or an Office of the Secretary of 

Defense (OSD)-agreed upon third party to conduct detailed reviews to validate the 

process for capturing depot maintenance expenditure data by reporting 

organizations." The committee notes that this reporting guidance reflects a change 

from prior guidance, which did not include process validation, only data validation 

prior to OSD submission. In the committee’s view, it is imperative that the data 

submitted to the Congress be validated. Moreover, the committee believes that 

participation of the military departments’ audit agencies in validating the data 

submitted for the “50/50 report” will provide the greatest assurance that what is 

reported represents an accurate and complete picture of the distribution of depotlevel workload between the public and private sectors. 

 Accordingly, the committee directs the military departments and defense 

agencies to comply with the guidance to the fullest extent, and, to the degree that it 

is practicable, ensure direct military department audit agency involvement in this 

effort. Specifically, this effort should provide assurance that the data submitted for 

inclusion in the “50/50 report” is accurate and complete. The Secretary of Defense, 

in the next two annual reports to Congress required under section 2466 of title 10, 

United States Code, should include a description of the efforts made by each of the 

military departments and defense agencies to comply with the validation 

requirement. The committee notes that if voluntary compliance is not evidenced, 

the committee will consider statutory enforcement. 

Comptroller General Review of Forward Deployed Naval Forces and Associated 

Sustainment Issues 

 Forward presence is critical to the Navy's goals of building partnerships, 

deterring aggression without escalation, defusing threats, and containing conflict 

without regional disruption. Naval forces provide forward presence through a 

combination of rotational deployments from the United States, Forward Deployed 

Naval Forces (FDNF) in Japan, Guam, the Kingdom of Spain, and the Italian 

Republic, and forward stationing ships in places such as the Kingdom of Bahrain, 

the Republic of Singapore, and Diego Garcia. The Navy’s ability to implement these 

concepts depends on U.S. bases and strategic partnerships overseas that provide 

places where forces can rest, repair, refuel, and resupply. In the FDNF construct, 

194
the ships, crews and families all reside in the host nation. This construct is in 

contrast to forward stationing, where the ship’s families reside in the United States 

and the crew rotates to the ship’s overseas location for deployment.

 The committee seeks a more detailed understanding of the Navy's decisionmaking process to designate ships to be either FDNF or forward stationed and the 

relative costs and benefits of each approach. The committee directs the Comptroller 

General of the United States to provide a report to the congressional defense 

committees by February 27, 2015. The report should include a review and analysis 

of: 

(1) The Navy’s process for determining the homeport locations of naval 

vessels, including FDNF; 

(2) The Navy’s process for stationing naval vessels outside the United 

States; 

 (3) How the Navy calculates deployment costs of vessels homeported inside 

and outside the United States; 

 (4) The extent to which the Navy has utilized rotational crewing to meet 

forward presence requirements; 

 (5) The operational availability achieved by rotational crewing, the savings 

achieved, and the limitations associated with directed rotational crewing; 

 (6) The operational support and sustainment effects of deploying U.S.-based 

vessels to a forward operating station as opposed to homeporting vessels outside the 

United States, including costs of complying with section 7310 of title 10, United 

States Code, maintenance requirements; 

 (7) The infrastructure requirements, as well as host-nation acceptance 

requirements to ensure the assets are received overseas; and 

 (8) Any other issue that the Comptroller General determines appropriate. 

Department of Defense Inspector General Determination of Fair and Reasonable 

Cost of Spare Parts 

 The committee has received testimony that sustainment of military 

equipment is the most expensive phase of the Department of Defense's acquisition 

process. The committee is alarmed by frequent reports from the Department of 

Defense Inspector General (DODIG) and the Government Accountability Office 

(GAO) that the Department has paid hundreds of millions of dollars above what are 

considered fair and reasonable prices for weapon system spare parts and is missing 

opportunities for significant savings. 

 Accordingly, the committee directs the Department of Defense Inspector 

General to perform a comprehensive audit to determine if current Department of 

Defense guidance is sufficient to obtain fair and reasonable prices for equipment 

spare parts. The audit should assess the extent to which the Defense Logistics 

Agency (DLA) and the military departments have put in place metrics for 

measuring: 

195
 (1) The extent to which guidance and efforts to improve demand forecasting 

are effective for ensuring appropriate and adequate provision of spare parts and 

other supplies needed to keep military equipment ready and operating; and 

 (2) Inventory management cost efficiency. 

 The DODIG should also assess the costs the Department of Defense has 

incurred by paying prices beyond what is fair and reasonable for spare parts and 

other supplies. The DODIG’s audit should assess the prevalence of disparities 

between prices deemed to be fair and reasonable and those prices paid by the DLA 

and the military departments for spare parts or supplies, and potential cost savings 

if the parts or other supplies had been obtained by DLA and the military 

departments instead of through a performance-based logistics support contract. 

The DODIG should provide a report on the results of the audit to the congressional 

defense committees not later than February 28, 2015. 

Eligibility and Performance of Carriers Who Transport Hazardous Materials for the 

Department of Defense 

 The Department of Defense every year facilitates nearly 70,000 separate 

shipments of security sensitive material. Trucks carrying these shipments travel 

tens of thousands of miles on U.S. interstates, highways, and local thoroughfares 

across all 50 States. Materials that are transported include missiles, arms/weapons, 

ammunition, explosives, radioactive material, and classified items. Shipments are 

executed under the Transportation Protective Services (TPS) program which 

requires stringent safety and security standards for operators who are licensed to do 

business with the program. 

 The Government Accountability Office (GAO) conducted a comprehensive 

review of the policies and procedures used by the Department of Defense in the 

handling of hazardous material shipments pursuant to section 363 of the National 

Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 (Public Law 112-239). In its report 

to the committee, the GAO stated that the Safety Measurement System scores used 

by the Department to determine safety performance of its TPS carriers “should not 

be used to draw safety conclusions about a carrier’s safety condition. As a result, 

the Department may not be using the most reliable data from the Compliance, 

Safety, Accountability’s Safety Measurement System to determine which carriers 

should be eligible for the [TPS] program.”

 As a result of this finding, and to ensure the safety and security of 

Department of Defense’s shipments of sensitive arms, ammunition, and explosives, 

the committee directs the Commander, U.S. Transportation Command, to examine 

the data limitations of the Department of Transportation Federal Motor Carrier 

Safety Administration’s Safety and Accountability program and report to the House 

Armed Services Committee by December 15, 2014, on what changes, if any, should 

be made to the process used by the Department of Defense to determine hazardous 

material carrier eligibility and evaluate performance of carriers within the TPS 

program. Additionally, the Commander, U.S. Transportation Command, is directed 

196
to provide a briefing to the House Armed Services Committee by September 30, 

2015, on the progress made to implement the changes. 

Manufacturing Infrastructure Investment 

 The committee is aware of the unique challenges and varied relationships 

associated with the broad range of customers who have for decades supported the 

continued combat vehicle production capability at the Joint Systems Manufacturing 

Center (JSMC). As a government-owned, contractor-operated facility, JSMC 

represents a unique, long-term fiscal challenge for the U.S. Army for the continued 

maintenance and periodic upgrade of the facility, which has a deferred maintenance 

and repair projects list totaling over $40.0 million. Production Base Support 

funding over the past several years has been insufficient to support minimum 

JSMC maintenance requirements, including correcting critical safety and 

environmental deficiencies. 

 The Department of the Army must ensure the facility is properly resourced 

to efficiently and effectively meet the Army’s tank and other combat vehicle 

production-related requirements, Foreign Military Sales (FMS), and Direct 

Commercial Sales for the foreseeable future. The committee understands the 

difficulty in determining how the Department should share the operational support 

costs associated with the JSMC across the broad range of current and future 

customers. For example, future FMS programs could generate more than $10.0 

million in facilities usage fees. The committee believes reinvestment of these funds 

could help remediate facilities maintenance deficiencies and subsequently benefit 

all current and future JSMC customers. 

 Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army to submit a 

report to the Senate Committee on Armed Services and the House Committee on 

Armed Services not later than February 9, 2015, on the Army’s analysis, plans, 

and/or recommendations, to include potential legislative proposals, on how the 

operational costs associated with the Joint Systems Manufacturing Center could be 

equitably applied so that the facility can remain viable and relevant. 

Public-Private Partnerships at Centers of Industrial and Technical Excellence 

 The committee recognizes the mutual benefits to both the organic and 

commercial industrial base of partnering activities especially in a resourceconstrained environment. The committee also believes that full visibility into the 

scope and scale of partnerships is critical for proper oversight of industrial base 

sustainment. As a result, the committee is concerned about the lack of visibility into 

the Department of Defense's public-private partnership activities authorized by 

section 2474 of title 10, United States Code. The committee directs the Secretary of 

Defense to deliver to the congressional defense committees by January 5, 2015, a 

report on all partnerships entered into pursuant to section 2474 of title 10, United 

States Code, in fiscal year 2014 and for the preceding three fiscal years. The report 

at a minimum should include the location of work performed under the partnership, 

197
the commercial and organic entities comprising the partnership, the length of the 

partnership, and a description of the work performed by the partnership. 

Report on the Department of Defense’s Transportation of Hazardous Materials

 The Department of Defense transports more than 1.5 million hazardous 

material (HAZMAT) shipments each year. These shipments can be high-risk as well 

as highly sensitive and, if improperly handled, labeled, or packaged could result in 

the loss of life, property damage, and harm to national security interests. A complex 

framework of statutes and regulations governs the Department’s handling, labeling, 

and packaging of hazardous material shipments. The Government Accountability 

Office (GAO) recently reported on challenges the Department has experienced in 

implementing these regulations, which can adversely affect the safe, timely, and 

cost-effective transportation of hazardous materials. For example, in some cases 

Department of Defense installations did not provide carriers transporting sensitive 

arms, ammunition and explosives hazardous materials with timely access to secure 

hold areas or assist them in locating the nearest alternate means to secure those 

shipments, leaving these items in the public domain longer than necessary. 

Accordingly, the committee encourages the Department to develop a process to 

identify and implement the necessary corrective actions to ensure that its 

installations provide secure hold as required. Additionally, GAO found a 

substantial number of hazardous material shipments were not documented and 

packaged in accordance with regulations and other guidance, which resulted in 

delays. The committee is concerned about costs (and potential operational impacts) 

that may be incurred by the Department as a result of these delays or whether any 

materials were unnecessarily shipped through the more expensive Transportation 

Protective Services program because they were improperly identified as sensitive 

items. 

 Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a 

report to the Senate Committee on Armed Services and the House Committee on 

Armed Services by December 1, 2014, on the Department of Defense’s 

transportation of hazardous materials. That report should also be provided to the 

Comptroller General of the United States at that time. Specifically, the report 

should include, but is not limited to, a discussion of: 

 (1) The root causes of improper documentation and packaging of HAZMAT 

throughout the Department of Defense transportation system; 

 (2) The extent to which Transportation Protective Services are being used 

to transport HAZMAT shipments that could safely and securely be transported 

using less costly means; 

 (3) Any needed corrective actions and an action plan with associated 

milestones to implement those corrective actions. 

 After the Secretary provides the report to Congress, the Comptroller 

General of the United States should conduct a review of the report and provide a 

preliminary briefing to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the 

198
House of Representatives by March 15, 2015, with a final report or reports to follow 

within 120 days. 

Submarine Propeller Repair and Overhaul 

 The committee understands the Navy continues to request partial funding 

to support submarine propeller repair and overhaul (SPRO) in the Overseas 

Contingency Operations account, rather than planning for full funding based on 

true historical and current year SPRO expenditures within the Navy’s annual 

defense budget. Additionally, the committee remains concerned with the Navy's 

ongoing proposed "repair only" approach to SPRO. The committee directs the 

Secretary of the Navy to re-evaluate this plan and report to the Committee on 

Armed Services of the House of Representatives by December 15, 2014, on an 

approach, to include both fiscal year 2015 and Future Years Defense Program 

funding, that addresses the ongoing mix of both propeller repair and overhaul 

needs. 

Sustainment of Deployed Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense 

 The committee commends the Department of Defense for its rapid and 

successful deployment of an Army Air and Missile Defense Task Force (AMDTF) 

and Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) missile defense battery to 

Guam last spring in response to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea’s 

aggressive posture. The committee notes that Army Chief of Staff, General 

Raymond Odierno, in testimony before the committee, stated that the Army is 

working on plans to sustain a long-term presence of a THAAD battery and an 

AMDTF on Guam to provide necessary protection of military manpower, assets, and 

civilians. In order to better understand the requirements to sustain an AMDTF and 

THAAD battery on Guam, the committee directs the Secretary of the Army, in 

consultation with the Chief of the National Guard Bureau, to report to the 

committee by January 31, 2015, on the following requirements related to THAAD 

sustainment: 

 (1) An accounting of force structure needed, including potential Army 

National Guard or Army Reserve force structure; 

 (2) Potential military construction needed for force protection and other 

sustainment issues; 

 (3) Estimated military personnel and operation and maintenance costs; and 

 (4) Any legal, statutory, or authority challenges associated with sustaining 

an AMDTF and THAAD battery on Guam. 

READINESS ISSUES

Adequacy of Airlift and Refueling Capabilities in the Western Pacific 

199
Recognizing the strategic importance of the Department of Defense’s efforts 

to rebalance forces to the Asia-Pacific region, the committee continues to question 

the adequacy of airlift and refueling capabilities in that region. U.S. Pacific 

Command (PACOM) must accomplish a variety of missions and requirements in a 

geographic area of responsibility that spans almost 9,000 miles from Hawaii in the 

Pacific Ocean to the Republic of Maldives in the Indian Ocean. Airlift and refueling 

capabilities play a critical role in supporting and sustaining forward-deployed forces 

in the Asia-Pacific region. 

 The committee is concerned about the ability of the U.S. Air Force to 

provide sustained airlift to support ground forces and equipment in the region to 

meet current and emerging requirements. Particularly, the committee is concerned 

about the cost of the current rotational tanker presence in the western Pacific. 

Given current budget constraints and the risk in the readiness accounts, the 

committee is concerned that rotational presence may not be the most fiscally 

prudent means of meeting airlift and refueling requirements, especially in light of 

the potential for sustained sequestration. The committee, therefore, directs the 

Commander, U.S. Pacific Command, in consultation with the Commander, Pacific 

Air Forces, to brief the committee by March 30, 2015, on airlift and tanker 

capabilities in the Pacific Command area of responsibility. At a minimum, the 

briefing should include: 

 (1) The cost of current rotational tanker presence in the western Pacific; 

 (2) The cost of permanently stationing tankers in the western Pacific to 

meet current operational requirements; and 

 (3) Plans for future beddown of permanent and rotational airlift and tanker 

assets in the western Pacific to meet Pacific Command operational requirements. 

Advanced Situational Awareness Training Assessment 

 The committee is aware that the Army continues to successfully incorporate 

training modules to detect changes in human behavior through Advanced 

Situational Awareness Training (ASAT). The committee recognizes the benefits of 

such training and the enhancement to mission effectiveness, decisive advantage, 

enhanced use of existing optical equipment, and reduction of civilian casualties that 

it can help provide. The committee believes the benefits of situational awareness 

training are significant enough to warrant a long-term assessment of ASAT training 

requirements and a plan for possible future institutionalization. 

 The committee directs the Secretary of the Army to conduct an assessment 

of ASAT training and brief the House Committee on Armed Services on the results 

not later than October 1, 2014. This assessment and briefing should specifically 

include current ASAT training requirements, the cost and time required to 

institutionalize an ASAT training program across the Army, and quantifiable 

training benefits achieved by ASAT training to date. 

Comptroller General Report on Readiness Metrics 

200
For decades the Department of Defense has used “C-ratings,” which 

measure unit resources and training against doctrinal wartime missions, to 

measure the readiness of its forces. However, to support the recent missions in the 

Republic of Iraq and the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, units have repeatedly 

been reconfigured and task-organized or called upon to execute missions that 

differed from their core doctrinal mission statements. To better portray readiness in 

this new environment, the Department has added “assigned mission” and 

“capability” ratings to its traditional C-ratings. The military departments and 

combatant commands also began reporting readiness assessment levels (RA-levels) 

to portray their strategic readiness. While the combination of traditional and newer 

readiness metrics have allowed the Department to portray its readiness for a much 

wider range of missions than in the past, the metrics do not fully account for the 

time component of readiness. Traditional C-ratings and assigned mission ratings 

tend to emphasize readiness at a particular point in time (the day the rating is 

completed). Capability and RA-ratings have an implicit time component because 

they measure readiness against timelines that are laid out in operations and 

contingency plans. However, the committee has observed that none of the metrics 

clearly answer the question of when forces will be ready. Over the past decade, 

when the committee has asked that question, the ubiquitous response has been that 

most units will be ready “just in time.”

 With the prolonged growth of non-discretionary spending placing continued 

fiscal pressure on the defense budget, the “just-in-time” answer does little to help 

decisionmakers minimize risk while preparing for a future that, in the words of the 

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, is “dangerous and uncertain.” Because units 

from different military departments can often provide similar, if not identical, 

capabilities, the committee believes the Department’s leadership and the Congress

need to understand differences in both the speed and cost at which the military 

departments can provide ready forces to meet combatant commander requirements 

so they can prioritize resources and minimize risk. 

To help inform the committee’s oversight and its consideration of the 

President’s budget request, the committee directs the Comptroller General of the 

United States to review the Department of Defense’s readiness. The review should 

include, but not be limited to: 

 (1) The current readiness of the military departments and combatant 

commands, as reported in their December 2013 readiness reports; 

 (2) A description of the key factors that are affecting the readiness of the 

military departments and the combatant commands, as well as a description of the 

steps being taken to address or mitigate the impact of those factors; 

(3) An analysis of the extent to which “time” is or has been incorporated as 

a quantitative or qualitative component of current and past readiness metrics: and 

 (4) A description of any efforts the military departments, the combatant 

commands, the Joint Staff, or the Office of the Secretary of Defense have made to 

modify their readiness metrics or add any additional metrics to better address the 

question of when units or commands will be ready. 

201
 The committee directs the Comptroller General to provide a preliminary 

briefing on these four elements to the congressional defense committees by 

February 15, 2015, with a report or reports to follow. 

OTHER MATTERS

Briefing on Invasive Species Management 

 The committee notes that in the fall of 2013, the coconut rhinoceros beetle, 

an invasive species to the Hawaiian Islands and Guam, was discovered on the 

island of Oahu and has been found on Guam since 2007. While it is unknown how 

the species came to Hawaii or Guam, the committee is aware that a coconut 

rhinoceros beetle population was identified on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, 

which is in close proximity to Honolulu International Airport. Since discovering the 

existence of this invasive species on Hawaii, the committee notes that the 

Department of Agriculture has been leading the effort, jointly with the Department 

of Defense and appropriate State agencies, to eliminate breeding sites, and monitor 

and control the spread of the coconut rhinoceros beetle on the island of Oahu. 

 In addition to the more immediate response, the committee notes that the 

Department of Defense is already addressing invasive species through other 

mechanisms. Specifically, the Department of the Navy is supporting efforts to 

develop the Micronesian Biosecurity Plan, jointly with the Department of 

Agriculture, and the governments of the State of Hawaii, Guam, the 

Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, the Republic of Palau, the 

Federated States of Micronesia, and the Republic of the Marshall Islands. In 

preparing the plan, the partners evaluated invasive species risks to marine, 

terrestrial, and freshwater ecosystems, to include the coconut rhinoceros beetle. 

Additionally, for invasive species management, the committee notes that Joint Base 

Pearl Harbor-Hickam and Joint Region Marianas maintain an Integrated Natural 

Resources Management Plan which includes measures to prevent the proliferation 

of invasive species. 

 The committee encourages the Department of the Navy to continue its work 

with the Department of Agriculture, as well as State and local entities, to monitor 

and contain any further spread of the coconut rhinoceros beetle within Hawaii and 

Guam. The committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide a briefing to the 

committee not later than September 1, 2014, regarding the status of the coconut 

rhinoceros beetle on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam and Joint Region Marianas 

and steps the Department of the Navy has taken, working with partners, to control, 

mitigate, or eradicate the species or its habitat. 

Cold-Weather Protective Clothing 

 The committee is concerned that the use of end-of-year funding for the 

acquisition of cold-weather clothing, glove systems, and equipment for training, and 

for cold-weather combat negatively affect military readiness and the defense 

202
industrial base. Accordingly, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to 

provide the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of 

Representatives, not later than September 30, 2014, a report describing the 

Department's efforts to provide the Active and Reserve Components with the coldweather clothing, glove systems, and equipment required for training and 

deployments. The committee directs the Secretary to include in the report an 

update on the funding needed to meet Active and Reserve Component requirements 

for cold-weather clothing, glove systems, and equipment in fiscal years 2015 and 

2016. The report should also include an acquisition strategy and spending plan 

outlining the projected schedule for the obligation of funds to acquire the necessary 

equipment. 

Comptroller General Review of Process for the Disposition of Excess Defense 

Articles 

 The Department of Defense is a large provider of surplus personal property 

and equipment that goes to local governments, fire and police departments, 

Veterans Service Organizations, hospitals, and many other local entities. The 

transfer of surplus personal property and equipment to other Federal agencies and 

local and State governments by the Department provides a significant savings of 

American taxpayer dollars. As budgetary resources continue to shrink, it is 

imperative that American tax dollars are well spent and managed and re-utilization 

within the Department of Defense is maximized. Furthermore, it is important that 

any surplus personal property and equipment that is being sold through the 

Department of Defense surplus property sales program is done in accordance with 

laws relating to the disposition of excess and surplus property. As surplus personal 

property and equipment become more valuable, the Department of Defense and the 

Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) should have procedures and protocols to ensure 

that fair market value for surplus personal property and equipment is being 

received. If the Department is not receiving fair market value for surplus personal 

property and equipment being sold, this could be a serious financial loss to the 

American taxpayer. 

 To ensure that the taxpayer is getting the greatest financial benefit out of 

surplus equipment originally purchased with tax dollars, the committee directs the 

Comptroller General of the United States to review and report to the congressional 

defense committees on the Department of Defense’s and the Defense Logistics 

Agency’s excess and surplus personal property programs, including their programs 

that provide excess or surplus personal property and equipment to other Federal 

agencies and to local and State governments and on their programs that sell 

surplus personal property and equipment. The review should include, but not be 

limited to, an examination of: 

 (1) The methods DLA uses to provide visibility of available excess property 

and equipment to interested agencies and provide access for physical inspection of 

the property and equipment; 

203
 (2) Instances in which Department of Defense property and equipment that 

have been declared excess, and that are desirable for use by other Federal agencies 

and by State or local governments, are transferred to a commercial vendor for sale; 

 (3) The process DLA uses to code property and equipment for disposition, 

particularly instances in which property and equipment that have been coded for 

return to military units are transferred to a commercial vendor for sale; and 

 (4) The costs that DLA incurs by destroying appropriately coded property 

and equipment that otherwise could be demilitarized and made available to 

interested Federal agencies or State and local governments. 

 (5) Instances where the Department did not receive fair market value for 

excess or surplus personal property and equipment transferred to a commercial 

vendor for sale. 

 The Comptroller General should provide a preliminary briefing to the 

congressional defense committees by March 15, 2015, with a final report or reports 

to follow. 

Waste Disposal Technologies in Contingency Operations 

 The committee notes that the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal 

Year 2010 (Public Law 111-84) required the Secretary of Defense to prescribe 

regulations prohibiting the disposal of covered waste in open-air burn pits during 

contingency operations, except when no alternative disposal method is feasible. The 

committee further notes that the Report to Congress on the Use of Open-Air Burn 

Pits by the United States Armed Forces, submitted on May 12, 2010, pursuant to 

Public Law 111-84, stated that “The introduction of incinerators, plus other thermal 

(to include waste-to-energy) and non-thermal waste disposal options, are intended 

to eventually displace the use of burn pits." The report concluded, “DoD must 

continue to explore viable technical solutions for waste reduction and waste disposal 

in all categories—solid, medical, and hazardous—and then make such solutions 

available through easily acquired commercial or DoD provided equipment.” To that 

end, the committee is aware that the final burn pit that was being operated in 

Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in compliance with Department of Defense and 

U.S. Central Command policies, as required by Public Law 111-84, was closed in 

April 2014. Remaining U.S. locations within Afghanistan utilize a combination of 

landfills, incinerators, and removal of waste by local nationals. 

 The committee is also aware that the Special Inspector General for 

Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) has observed problems associated with 

incinerators that have been installed in Afghanistan. Such problems include poor 

construction, planning and design, and coordination between contracts for 

constructing the incinerators and for operating and maintaining them. The 

committee understands that the Department of Defense is assessing commercial 

incinerator and other waste-disposal technologies to determine the feasibility for 

use at bases of varying size, maturity, and duration. Therefore, the committee 

204
directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics to 

provide a briefing for the House Committee on Armed Services not later than March 

2, 2015, on the lessons learned related to waste-disposal methods in contingency 

operations and provide an update on the Department’s assessment of wastedisposal technologies, to include those that would provide an efficient, reliable and 

deployable capability that adheres to electrical and construction standards that 

ensure life, safety, and health of U.S. personnel. 

TITLE X—GENERAL PROVISIONS 

ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST 

OTHER MATTERS

Department of Defense Installation Security 

 The committee is aware that the Department of Defense conducted internal 

and independent reviews of the security programs, policies, and procedures 

regarding security at military installations following the tragic shooting at the 

Washington Navy Yard. The committee notes that while these reviews include 

findings and recommendations related to the physical access control process, 

physical security infrastructure capabilities, and force protection, the Secretary of 

Defense’s memorandum dated March 18, 2014, only approved the implementation of 

four recommendations, specifically to “implement continued evaluation”, “establish 

a DOD [Department of Defense] Insider Threat Management Analysis Center,” 

“centralize authority, accountability, and programmatic integration under a single 

Principal Staff Assistant,” and “resource and expedite deployment of the Identity 

Management Enterprise Services Architecture.” 

 While the committee believes these are important steps to improve the 

security of military installations, the committee is concerned that not enough 

emphasis has been placed on improving the programs, policies, procedures, and 

infrastructure supporting the physical security of installations. Therefore, the 

committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House 

Committee on Armed Services by December 31, 2014, that addresses the following: 

 (1) An update on the Defense Installation Access Controls Joint Capability 

Technology Demonstration, and whether an opportunity exists to leverage 

commercially available tools into its architecture; 

 (2) The frequency of installation anti-terrorism plans and local 

vulnerability assessments, and the process for mitigating or accepting identified 

risks; 

 (3) Trends or identified shortfalls in equipment, personnel, training, or 

infrastructure that directly support the physical security of military facilities and 

installations and have been validated by Joint Staff Integrated Vulnerability 

Assessments; 

205
 (4) Any changes that may be necessary to the physical security and antiterrorism/force protection policies and procedures for vehicles and personnel 

entering military installations and facilities; and 

 (5) Any authority gaps that may require legislation to strengthen the 

physical security of military installations and facilities. 

Reconstitution of Air Force Weapons Storage Areas

 The committee notes that the Air Force has completed the report 

"Reconstituting Air Force Weapons Storage Areas" as requested in the committee 

report (S. Rept. 113-44) accompanying the National Defense Authorization Act for 

Fiscal Year 2014. In its report, the Air Force acknowledged that it currently does 

not have a funded project to reconstitute a second Weapons Storage Area (WSA) for 

Air-Launched Cruise Missiles (ALCMs). Additionally, the report states that the Air 

Force's WSA modernization plan, the WSA Recapitalization Corporate Initiative, is 

in the preliminary stages, and indicates that it should be finalized in time to be 

programmed in fiscal year 2016. 

 The committee is disappointed that the report did not include an analysis of 

the requirements and costs of reconstituting a second nuclear WSA capability for 

ALCMs and the potential benefits or savings of shortening the recapitalization 

timeframe as requested in S. Rept. 113-44. Therefore, the committee directs the 

Secretary of the Air Force to include the following information in the finalized plan 

for the WSA Recapitalization Corporate Initiative: 

 (1) A business-case analysis of the requirements and costs for reconstituting 

a second WSA for ALCMs; 

 (2) An analysis of potential cost-savings and benefits achieved through a 

shortened recapitalization timeframe; 

 (3) An analysis of potential cost-saving and benefits of advances in physical 

and security surveillance technologies; and 

 (4) A validation of requirements. 

U.S. Transportation Command Report on Operational and Tactical Control of All 

Department of Defense Executive Airlift Aircraft 

 The committee notes that the Commander, U.S. Transportation Command 

(CUSTC) is the distribution process owner for the Department of Defense. 

However, CUSTC is responsible for the operational tasking, scheduling, and tactical 

control of only Department of the Air Force executive airlift and special airlift 

mission (EA/SAM) aircraft. The committee notes that Department of the Navy and 

the Department of the Army EA/SAM aircraft are excluded from CUSTC's control, 

and are not apportioned or allocated to meet CUSTC EA/SAM airlift requirements 

or airlift requirements of any other organization other than the service that owns 

and operates the EA/SAM aircraft. The committee believes this is an inefficient 

concept of operations in meeting EA/SAM airlift requirements of the Department of 

Defense. 

206
 Therefore, the committee directs the Commander, U.S. Transportation 

Command to provide a report to the congressional defense committees not later 

than February 2, 2015, that assesses the feasibility, capability, viability, 

effectiveness, and efficiency of the CUSTC assuming the role and responsibility of 

operational tasking, scheduling, and tactical control of all Department of Defense 

EA/SAM aircraft to meet EA/SAM airlift requirements of the Department of 

Defense. 

DIVISION B—MILITARY CONSTRUCTION AUTHORIZATIONS 

TITLE XXIV—DEFENSE AGENCIES MILITARY CONSTRUCTION 

ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST 

Red Hill Underground Fuel Storage Facility 

 The committee notes that in January 2014, approximately 27,000 gallons of 

fuel leaked from a tank in the Red Hill underground fuel storage facility. The 

underground storage facility was constructed in the early 1940s and contains 20 

fuel tanks that are buried beneath 100 feet of volcanic rock. 

 The committee further notes that the budget request included $52.9 million 

in investments to replace two fuel tanks and upgrade the fire suppression and 

ventilation system supporting the Red Hill underground fuel storage facility. The 

committee believes that the Red Hill facility will continue to play an important 

supporting role for the U.S. rebalance to the Asia-Pacific region. Therefore, the 

committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to the House 

Committee on Armed Services not later than October 1, 2014, on the long-term 

infrastructure improvements that may be necessary to support the continued safe 

and secure operation of the Red Hill underground fuel storage facility. 

TITLE XXVII—BASE REALIGNMENT AND CLOSURE ACTIVITIES 

ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST 

Base Closure and Realignment Disposal Assessment 

 The committee notes that the Department of Defense has requested 

authority to conduct another round of defense base closures and realignment 

(BRAC) in 2017. BRAC is often cited as a means of saving significant defense 

dollars in a time of declining budgets. The committee is concerned that efficiencies 

associated with the BRAC process are offset with the inability to quickly dispose of 

excess property and the potential lack of overall savings to the federal government. 

For example, there are numerous instances where the Department of Defense 

207
conveyed excess property to other Federal agencies and the overall Government 

may not have saved money. 

 Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a 

report to the congressional defense committees by March 1, 2015, as to the overall 

effectiveness of the property disposal process. The report should specifically assess 

each prior BRAC round (1988, 1991, 1993, 1995, and 2005), by military department, 

and provide the following: 

 (1) A listing, by acre, of property disposed to: other Federal agencies; state 

and local agencies; non-profit entities; and the private sector;

 (2) A list of remaining acreage to be disposed; 

 (3) An assessment of land sale revenues realized from prior property 

disposal actions; 

 (4) An assessment of environmental expenditures and caretaker services 

expended; and 

 (5) An assessment of remaining environmental remediation costs to 

complete and associated caretaker services anticipated during the environmental 

remediation. 

Joint Base Closure and Realignment Recommendations 

 At the request of the committee, the Government Accountability Office has 

issued reports on the status of Department of Defense’s joint basing initiative. 

However, the committee remains concerned that efforts to implement Base Closure 

and Realignment (BRAC) 2005 recommendations that required the military services 

to merge or consolidate functions to become more joint were not effectively 

implemented, obviating certain cost saving opportunities. Therefore, the committee 

directs the Comptroller General of the United States to submit a report to the 

congressional defense committees by March 1, 2015, on the status of Department of 

Defense actions to implement its BRAC 2005 recommendations that meet these 

goals of reducing infrastructure and promoting “jointness.” The report should 

address the following questions: 

 (1) To what extent has the Department of Defense identified benefits, cost 

savings, and/or cost avoidances resulting from implementing these 

recommendations? 

 (2) To what extent has the Department achieved enhancements to joint 

operations from establishment of joint centers of excellence or joint training 

activities or achieved other operational efficiencies from such consolidations? 

 (3) What challenges has the Department experienced in implementing 

these initiatives and to what extent has the Department of Defense resolved these 

challenges? 

Property Disposal Methods 

 The committee seeks a greater understanding of the Department of 

Defense's implementation of homeless assistance, pursuant to the McKinney-Vento 

208
Homeless Assistance Act (Public Law 100-77), via property disposal actions that the 

Department of Defense completes through the Base Realignment and Closure Act of 

1990 (Public Law 101-510), as amended. Therefore, the committee directs the 

Comptroller General of the United States to submit a report to the congressional 

defense committees by March 1, 2015, on the findings of a review of the 

effectiveness of implementation of the relevant statutory provisions by the 

Department of Housing and Urban Development and the Department of Defense. 

TITLE XXVIII—MILITARY CONSTRUCTION GENERAL 

PROVISIONS 

ITEMS OF SPECIAL INTEREST 

Army Supplemental Programmatic Environmental Assessment 

 The committee notes that the Army has used a stationing strategy, called 

Army 2020, to analyze the various options available to the Secretary of the Army to 

implement a reduction in force structure. The Army 2020 process used key inputs 

including a Programmatic Environmental Assessment, a military value analysis, 

community listening sessions, and an analysis of other stationing factors. 

Additionally, military judgment, utilizing a variety of planning and steering 

committees was incorporated into the final decision to reduce specific Brigade 

Combat Teams (BCTs). As a result of the Army 2020 process, the Army inactivated 

12 BCTs and reorganized the remaining BCTs by adding a third maneuver 

battalion to armor and infantry brigades located in the continental United States. 

On February 6, 2014, the Army announced plans to implement a Supplemental 

Programmatic Environmental Assessment (SPEA), to analyze the reduction of the 

Active Component below 490,000 soldiers. However, the Army is proceeding with 

the SPEA before fully implementing the results of Army 2020. 

 The committee believes it is appropriate for the Secretary of the Army to 

use the results of the Army 2020 analysis as the baseline input of the SPEA. 

Therefore, concurrent with the release of the draft SPEA, the committee directs the 

Secretary of the Army to brief the House Committee on Armed Services by 

September 1, 2014, on the baseline for the SPEA and any deviation from the Army 

2020 analysis. If the Secretary is compelled to deviate from the Army 2020 

analysis, the Secretary should provide the committee an explanation of why such 

deviation is appropriate. 

Deployment of Secure Work Enviroments 

 The committee is aware of the increasing importance of protecting valuable 

intellectual property and sensitive information, especially during this current cyber 

environment. The committee notes that data loss prevention is critical for the longterm sustainment of most military operations, personnel protection, and troop 

209
movements, particularly when information needs to be discussed in locations 

outside of a fully protected Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF). 

 The committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to establish an agencywide strategy to create secure work environments where unclassified but sensitive 

information can be shared utilizing technological advances in full spectrum Radio 

Frequency (RF) monitoring and commercial off the shelf solutions for film protected 

glass that protects from data loss and intrusion. In addition, the committee directs 

the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the congressional defense committees 

by March 1, 2015, that: (1) details a programmatic plan to provide additional 

protection from RF and Infrared (IR) for non-SCIF facilities that would be impacted 

by potential intrusions; and (2) an assessment of the Unified Facilities Guide 

specifications that are used to provide RF and IR protections. 

Facilities Modernization Model 

The committee notes that the Department of Defense’s real property 

management process requires extensive oversight to maintain more than $850.0 

billion in infrastructure at an annual cost of nearly $60.0 billion. As part of its 

overall effort to maintain facilities, the Department of Defense is required to 

modernize certain facilities to make sure that they meet current standards. To 

assist in this process, the Department of Defense developed its Facilities 

Modernization Model which predicts the average annual dollar amount required for 

the Department to modernize its inventory of facilities on an ongoing basis. 

 The Facilities Modernization Model parallels the Facilities Sustainment 

Model. In 2008, the Government Accountability Office reported that although the 

sustainment model provides a consistent and reasonable framework for preparing 

estimates of the Department of Defense’s facility sustainment funding 

requirements, there were issues with some of the model’s key inputs, affecting the 

reliability of the model’s estimates. As the Modernization Model should always be 

used in conjunction with the Facilities Sustainment Model, the committee is 

concerned that similar issues may affect the reliability of the Facilities 

Modernization Model’s estimates. Therefore, the committee directs the Comptroller 

General of the United States to submit a report to the congressional defense 

committees by March 1, 2015, on the Facilities Modernization Model to include the 

following: 

 (1) What are the main inputs into the Facilities Modernization Model and 

to what extent have the Department and the military services validated these 

inputs? 

 (2) To what extent are the services funding facility modernization at levels 

determined by the model; how are decisions made to deviate from the models’ 

recommendations if needed; and what is the impact if modernization funding is not 

provided at the recommended levels? 

High Performance Facades for Department of Defense Installations 

210
 The committee is aware of a new blast protection technology that has been 

developed which utilizes high performance materials through a secondary facade 

structure to provide increased blast and ballistic protection to Department of 

Defense buildings, bases, and installations. The committee notes that such 

secondary facades could provide the Department increased flexibility and costsavings in certain situations where relocation is being considered. The committee 

also notes that secondary facades could be more useful for retrofitting and 

upgrading existing buildings, as well as being incorporated into the architectural 

designs of new buildings. Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of 

Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to provide a report to the 

congressional defense committees by October 1, 2014, on recent efforts to utilize and 

test high performance materials as a secondary facade structure and any 

modifications to the Unified Facility Guide Specifications that would be necessary 

to incorporate the assessment of this technology. 

Joint Land Use Study 

 The committee notes that military installations are often the economic 

engines that underpin and drive local economies. Direct expenditures of defense 

dollars in the form of payrolls and local procurement contracts generate in turn 

secondary expenditures that help support local economies. Military installations 

can also affect adjacent communities in several ways, some positive (as with the 

economic impacts) and some negative. Negative impacts may include noise, safety 

concerns, smoke, dust, and other effects from training and military operations. In 

some instances, the military attempts to moderate these negative effects through 

the Joint Land Use Program. 

 The committee is aware of certain noise and encroachment concerns around 

the U.S. Air Force Academy and Fort Carson, Colorado. The committee believes 

that a Joint Land Use Study of the surrounding area would be effective to help 

offset these negative consequences. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary 

of Defense to provide notice to the congressional defense committees by March 1, 

2015, of the Joint Land Used Studies that the Secretary has programmed and a 

schedule for when the area supporting the U.S. Air Force Academy/Fort Carson is 

expected to begin a Joint Land Use Study. 

Public-Private Family Housing on Guam 

 The committee recognizes that the Department of the Navy recently 

released a draft supplemental Environmental Impact Statement regarding the 

development of a main cantonment area and firing range for U.S. Marines 

realigning from Okinawa, Japan, to Guam. Further, the committee recognizes that 

the Distributed Laydown differs significantly from previous realignment plans, as it 

depends on a more heavily rotational force on Guam than a permanent 

headquarters presence. Under the renegotiated agreement with the Government of 

Japan to support the Distributed Laydown, the committee understands that the 

211
Government of Japan will no longer provide nearly $3.0 billion in special purpose 

entity (SPE) funds. According to plans and briefings from the Department, a SPE is 

essentially a public-private venture (PPV) for military family housing and certain 

utility improvements. 

 Despite the changes to the plans for the realignment of U.S. Marines, the 

committee recognizes that additional military forces are also realigning to Guam as 

part of the Asia-Pacific rebalance. In particular, the Navy announced the stationing 

of a fourth Los Angeles class fast-attack submarine in Guam, and the Air Force 

continues a Red Horse and Contingency Response Group beddown at Andersen Air 

Force Base. These additional forces, along with other potential military personnel 

increases, will challenge the current inventory of military family housing on Guam. 

The committee has been supportive of PPV endeavors in other U.S. locations and 

recognizes the potential long-term cost savings coupled with improvements to 

quality of life matters for service members and their families. 

 As such, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report 

to the congressional defense committees by April 1, 2015, on the feasibility of 

utilizing public-private housing ventures on Guam and any factors that might 

inhibit establishment of such a public-private housing venture. The report should 

also assess the current backlog and projected backlog in the Future Years Defense 

Program as to shortfalls in family housing, by service, and the measures that the 

Secretary has programmed to address these shortfalls. 

Real Property Management 

 The committee is concerned about the Department of Defense's 

management of real property resources. In an era of declining resources, the 

committee is concerned by decisions made by the Department of Defense to retain 

underutilized real property. The committee is supportive of real property 

authorities that provide the Secretary concerned the authority to outlease nonexcess properties, but believes that there are instances where the Department has 

not fully utilized these authorities to manage its real property assets. For example, 

the committee notes that the Secretary of the Air Force is responsible for Keesler 

Air Force Base and certain noncontiguous properties in the area. A former base 

housing area called Harrison Court was destroyed by Hurricane Katrina and the 40 

acre parcel remains vacant 9 years since Hurricane Katrina. The committee notes 

that the Air Force continues to expend funds to maintain the vacant property while 

the local community expresses interest in developing the property for economic or 

public use purposes. Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force 

to assess the value of certain noncontiguous properties in the Keesler Air Force 

Base area and to provide a report to the congressional defense committees by March 

1, 2015, that determines whether there remains a continued requirement for the Air 

Force to maintain these properties, the feasibility of an enhanced use lease, or the 

Secretary’s intent to initiate excess proceeding for these properties. 

Type I and Type III Retro-Reflective Glass Beads 

212
 As requested in the committee report (H. Rept. 113-102) accompanying the 

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014, the committee notes that 

the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics submitted 

the report, “Analysis of Type I and Type III Retro-Reflective Glass Beads” to the 

congressional defense committees on April 16, 2014. In its report, the Department 

of Defense stated that “Type III glass beads provide a modest increase in visibility 

compared with Type I beads but this benefit is short-lived and costly. Although the 

Department does not preclude the use of Type III beads, we find Type I glass beads 

to be a satisfactory and cost-effective solution for our airport pavement marking 

requirements.” The committee also notes that another report entitled, “Airfield 

Marking Durability Study” was prepared on March 12, 2014, by Sightline, LC, that 

found “based on reflectivity data recorded at 13 airports across the United States, 

including military and commercial, Type III glass beads provide higher levels of 

retro-reflectivity initially and over time, resulting in lower maintenance costs.” The 

committee notes that the Department of Defense was likely unable to consider the 

findings of the report by Sightline, LC when it was preparing its report to the 

congressional defense committees. 

 Therefore, the committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for 

Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to assess the Sightline, LC report and 

information associated with Type III glass beads and determine whether this 

additional information was incorporated into its report, “Analysis of Type I and 

Type III Retro-Reflective Glass Beads” submitted on April 16, 2014. If the 

Sightline, LC report was not considered, the committee directs the Under Secretary 

to prepare an addendum to their previous report and submit it to the congressional 

defense committees by December 31, 2014, and use the Sightline, LC report, and 

any other new information available, to assess the value associated with 

incorporating Type III beads into the Unified Facilities Guide Specifications. 

213
