18 the extent to which mission accomplishment is dependent 

19 upon the productivity of the civilian workforce. What func20 tions are deemed ‘‘transactional’’ or ‘‘nontransactional’’ 

21 may vary for each affected command. In general, more 

22 of the civilian personnel management functions for small23 er, less civilian dependent commands may be consolidated

111 

•HR 5658 EH

1 cally numbering in the thousands and engaged in program 

2 management, systems engineering, research or develop3 ment, logistics management, software management, man4 agement of existing aircraft systems, and depot level main5 tenance. Such an installation or command typically in6 cludes occupational series far in excess of those assigned

9 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

10 (1) In accordance with section 118 of title 10, 

11 United States Code, the Department of Defense con12 ducts a Quadrennial Defense Review as a com13 prehensive examination of ‘‘the national defense 

14 strategy, force structure, force modernization plans, 

15 infrastructure, budget plan, and other elements of 

16 the defense program and policies of the United 

17 States with a view toward determining and express18 ing the defense strategy of the United States and es19 tablishing a defense program for the next 20 years’’. 

20 (2) In submitting reports on these reviews to 

21 the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate 

22 and the House of Representatives, the Secretary is 

23 mandated to include the threats to the assumed or 

24 defined national security interests of the United 

25 States, the threat-based scenarios developed to con-
442 

•HR 5658 EH

1 duct the review, and other assumptions that impact 

2 the ability to counter such threats, including force 

3 readiness, cooperation of allies, warning times, and 

4 levels of engagement in operations other than war 

5 and smaller-scale contingencies. 

6 (3) There is no statutory requirement to as7 sume certain funding levels available to the Depart8 ment of Defense in the conduct of this review be9 cause Congress reserves its prerogative to provide 

10 the resources necessary to address threats to United 

11 States national security interests and uses this re12 view as a data point in determining the proper level 

13 of those resources. 

14 (4) The reports associated with the 1997, 2001, 

15 and 2006 reviews clearly demonstrated that the Sec16 retary made certain assumptions about anticipated 

17 funding. 

18 (5) As a result, the reported recommendations 

19 were unnecessarily constrained by those funding as20 sumptions. 

21 (6) As the Department of Defense is preparing 

22 to conduct another Quadrennial Defense Review 

23 with a report due to the Congress by 2010, the 

24 Committee on Armed Services of the House of Rep25 resentatives should review in a bipartisan, thorough

6 the Committee on Armed Services of the House of Rep7 resentatives with any information or data requested by 

8 that Committee so that it can review in a comprehensive,

10 strategy, force structure, force modernization plans, infra11 structure, budget plan, and other elements of the defense 

12 program and policies of the United States with a view to13 ward determining and expressing the defense strategy of 

14 the United States and establishing a defense program for

1 SEC. 943. FINDINGS AND SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING 

2 THE WESTERN HEMISPHERE INSTITUTE FOR 

3 SECURITY COOPERATION. 

4 (a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following: 

5 (1) The mission of the Western Hemisphere In6 stitute for Security Cooperation (hereafter in this 

7 section referred to as ‘‘WHINSEC’’) is to provide 

8 professional education and training to military per9 sonnel, law enforcement officials, and civilian per10 sonnel in support of the democratic principles set 

11 forth in the Charter of the Organization of American 

12 States, while fostering mutual knowledge, trans13 parency, confidence, and cooperation among the par14 ticipating nations, and promoting democratic values, 

15 respect for human rights, and knowledge and under16 standing of United States customs and traditions. 

17 (2) WHINSEC supports the Security Coopera18 tion Guidance of the Secretary of Defense by ad19 dressing the education and training needs of the 

20 United States Southern Command and United 

21 States Northern Command. 

22 (3) In enacting legislation establishing 

23 WHINSEC, Congress specified that the curriculum 

24 of WHINSEC may include leadership development, 

25 counterdrug operations, peacekeeping, resource man26 agement, and disaster relief planning. Congress also 
463 

•HR 5658 EH

1 mandated a minimum of eight hours of instruction 

2 on human rights, due process, the rule of law, the 

3 role of the Armed Forces in a democratic society, 

4 and civilian control of the military. WHINSEC aver5 ages twelve hours of such instruction per course. 

6 (4) On March 21, 2007, Admiral Stavridis, 

7 Commander of United States Southern Command, 

8 stated before the House Armed Services Committee 

9 that WHINSEC ‘‘is the military’s crown jewel for 

10 human rights training.’’. 

11 (5) WHINSEC does not select students for par12 ticipation. A partner nation nominates students to 

13 attend WHINSEC, and in accordance with the law 

14 of the United States and the policies of the Depart15 ments of Defense and State, the United States Em16 bassy in such partner nation screens and conducts 

17 background checks on such nominees. The vetting 

18 process of WHINSEC nominees includes a back19 ground check by United States embassies in partner 

20 nations, as well as checks by the Bureau of Western 

21 Hemisphere Affairs and the Bureau of Democracy, 

22 Human Rights, and Labor. Further, the Abuse Case 

23 Evaluation System of the Department of State, a 

24 central database that aggregates human rights 

25 abuse data into a single, searchable location, is used 
464 

•HR 5658 EH

1 as a resource for checking abuse allegations when 

2 conducting vetting requests. 

3 (6) WHINSEC operates in accordance with the 

4 ‘‘Leahy Law,’’ which was first enacted in 1997 and 

5 has since expanded to prohibit United States mili6 tary assistance to foreign military units that violate 

7 human rights including security assistance programs 

8 funded through foreign operations appropriations 

9 Acts and training programs made available pursuant 

10 to Department of Defense appropriations Acts. 

11 (7) Independent review, observation, and rec12 ommendation regarding operations of WHINSEC is 

13 provided by a Board of Visitors which is chaired by 

14 Bishop Robert Morlino of Wisconsin and includes 

15 four Members of Congress, two from each political 

16 party. 

17 (8) WHINSEC is open to visitors at any time. 

18 Anyone can visit, sit in classes, talk with students 

19 and faculty, and review instructional materials. 

20 (9) On May 7, 2008, the Department of De21 fense provided Congress requested information re22 garding the students, instructors, and courses at 

23 WHINSEC. 

24 (b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con25 gress that— 
465 

•HR 5658 EH

1 (1) WHINSEC is one of the most effective 

2 mechanisms that the United States has to build re3 lationships with future leaders throughout the West4 ern Hemisphere, influence the human rights records 

5 and democracy trajectory of countries in the West6 ern Hemisphere, and mitigate the growing influence 

7 of non-hemispheric powers; 

8 (2) WHINSEC is succeeding in meeting its 

9 stated mission of providing professional education 

10 and training to eligible military personnel, law en11 forcement officials, and civilians of nations of the 

12 Western Hemisphere that support the democratic 

13 principles set forth in the Charter of the Organiza14 tion of American States, while fostering mutual 

15 knowledge, transparency, confidence, and coopera16 tion among the participating nations and promoting 

17 democratic values and respect for human rights; and 

18 (3) WHINSEC is an invaluable education and 

19 training facility which the Department of Defense 

20 should continue to utilize in order to help foster a 

21 spirit of partnership that will ensure security and 

22 enhance stability and interoperability among the 

23 United States military and the militaries of partici24 pating nations.

•HR 5658 EH

1 SEC. 1221. REPORT ON LONG-TERM COSTS OF OPERATION 

2 IRAQI FREEDOM AND OPERATION ENDURING 

3 FREEDOM. 

4 (a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 

5 (1) The United States has been engaged in 

6 military operations in Afghanistan since October 

7 2001 and in military operations in Iraq since March 

8 2003. 

9 (2) According to the Congressional Research 

10 Service, to date, Congress has appropriated 

11 $700,000,000,000 from fiscal year 2001 through fis12 cal year 2008 for the Department of Defense, the 

13 State Department, and for medical costs paid by the 

14 Department of Veterans Affairs. This amount in15 cludes $526,000,000,000 for Iraq and 

16 $140,000,000,000 for Afghanistan and other 

17 counterterror operations. Among other expenditures, 

18 this amount includes funding for combat operations; 

19 deploying, transporting, feeding, and housing troops; 

20 deployment of National Guard and Reserve troops; 

21 the equipping and training of Iraqi and Afghani 

22 forces; purchasing, upgrading, and repairing weap23 ons, munitions and other equipment; supplemental 

24 combat pay and benefits; providing medical care to 

25 troops on active duty and returning veterans; recon-
616 

•HR 5658 EH

1 struction and foreign aid; and payments to other 

2 countries for logistical assistance. 

3 (3) Over 90 percent of Department of Defense 

4 funds for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have 

5 been provided as emergency funds in supplemental 

6 or additional appropriations. 

7 (4) The Congressional Budget Office and the 

8 Congressional Research Service have stated that fu9 ture war costs are difficult to estimate because the 

10 Department of Defense has provided little detailed 

11 information on costs incurred to date, does not re12 port outlays or actual expenditures for war because 

13 war and baseline funds are mixed in the same ac14 counts, and does not provide information on many 

15 key factors which determine costs, including per16 sonnel levels or the pace of operations. 

17 (5) To date, the administration has not pro18 vided any long-term estimates of war costs, despite 

19 a statutory reporting requirement that the President 

20 submit a cost estimate for fiscal year 2006 through 

21 fiscal year 2011 that was enacted in 2004. 

22 (6) Operating costs in Iraq and Afghanistan 

23 have been increasing steadily since 2003, and war 

24 costs in Iraq have sharply increased from 

25 $50,000,000,000 in 2003 to approximately 
617 

•HR 5658 EH

1 $134,000,000,000 for fiscal year 2007, to the 

2 $154,000,000,000 request for fiscal year 2008. 

3 (7) The Iraq Study Group Report states that, 

4 ‘‘the United States has made a massive commitment 

5 to the future of Iraq in both blood and treasure,’’ 

6 warns that ‘‘the United States must expect signifi7 cant ‘tail costs’ to come’’, and predicts that ‘‘Caring 

8 for veterans and replacing lost equipment will run 

9 into the hundreds of billions of dollars. Estimates 

10 run as high as $2 trillion for the final cost of the 

11 U.S. involvement in Iraq’’. 

12 (8) The Iraq Study Group Report also finds 

13 that ‘‘This level of expense is not sustainable over an 

14 extended period. . .’’. 

15 (9) The use of government contractors and pri16 vate military firms has reached unprecedented levels, 

17 with over 100,000 contractors operating in Iraq. 

18 (10) Over 1,600,000 American troops have 

19 served in Afghanistan and Iraq since the beginning 

20 of the conflicts. 

21 (11) Over 4,050 United States troops and De22 partment of Defense civilian personnel have been 

23 killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom, and over 490 

24 United States troops and Department of Defense ci-
618 

•HR 5658 EH

1 vilian personnel have been killed in Operation En2 during Freedom. 

3 (12) National Guard and Reserve troops are 

4 being deployed in support of these conflicts at un5 precedented levels. 

6 (13) Many troops are serving multiple deploy7 ments, and one-third of those serving in the Iraq 

8 war have been deployed two or more times. 

9 (14) Over 1,100 service members have suffered 

10 amputations as a result of their service in Afghani11 stan and Iraq. 

12 (15) More than 100,000 Iraq and Afghanistan 

13 veterans have been treated for mental health condi14 tions. 

15 (16) 52,000 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans 

16 have been diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress 

17 Disorder. 

18 (17) Nearly 37 percent of soldiers returning 

19 from Iraq and Afghanistan have sought treatment at 

20 Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals and clin21 ics. 

22 (18) Many troops have suffered multiple inju23 ries, with veterans claiming an average of five sepa24 rate conditions. 
619 

•HR 5658 EH

1 (19) The Independent Review Group on Reha2 bilitative Care and Administrative Processes at Wal3 ter Reed Army Medical Center and National Naval 

4 Medical Center identified Traumatic Brain Injury, 

5 Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, increased survival 

6 of severe burns, and traumatic amputations as the 

7 four signature wounds of the current conflicts, and 

8 found that the ‘‘numbers of servicemembers sur9 viving with. . .complex injuries have challenged our 

10 modern military medical system and exposed weak11 ness and breakdowns in access to care, as well as 

12 continuity of care management and follow-on admin13 istrative processes’’. 

14 (20) The Independent Review Group report also 

15 states that the recovery process ‘‘can take months or 

16 years and must accommodate recurring or delayed 

17 manifestations of symptoms, extended rehabilitation 

18 and all the life complications that emerge over time 

19 from such trauma’’. 

20 (b) REPORT REQUIREMENT; SCENARIOS.—Not later 

21 than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, 

22 the President, with contributions from the Secretary of 

23 Defense, the Secretary of State, and the Secretary of the

9 (2) The number of personnel deployed in sup10 port of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation En11 during Freedom is reduced from current levels to 

12 75,000 by the beginning of fiscal year 2013 and re13 mains at that level through 2017. 

14 (3) An alternative scenario, defined by the 

15 President and based on current war plans, which 

16 takes into account expected troop levels and the ex17 pected length of time that troops will be deployed in

7 for Reconstruction and Stabilization (referred to as 

8 the ‘‘Coordinator’’) was established in the Depart9 ment of State with the mandate to lead, coordinate, 

10 and institutionalize United States Government civil11 ian capacity to prevent or prepare for post-conflict 

12 situations and help reconstruct and stabilize a coun13 try or region that is at risk of, in, or is in transition

11 response in connection with reconstruction and sta12 bilization operations, and carry out a wide range of
