Strike Command (AFGSC) initiated a force improve-
ment program for the Intercontinental Ballistic Mis-
sile (ICBM) force designed to improve mission effec-
tiveness, strengthen culture and morale, and identify 
areas in need of investment by soliciting input from 
airmen performing ICBM operations. 
(2) The ICBM force improvement program gen-
erated more than 300 recommendations to strengthen 
ICBM operations and served as a model for subse-
799 
† HR 1735 PAP1S 
quent force improvement programs in other mission 
areas, such as bomber operations and sustainment. 
(3) On May 28, 2014, as part of the nuclear 
force improvement program, the Air Force announced 
it would make immediate improvements in the nu-
clear mission of the Air Force, including enhancing 
career opportunities for airmen in the nuclear career 
field, ensuring training activities focused on per-
forming the mission in the field, reforming the per-
sonnel reliability program, establishing special pay 
rates for positions in the nuclear career field, and cre-
ating a new service medal for nuclear deterrence oper-
ations. 
(4) Chief of Staff of the Air Force Mark Welsh 
has said that, as part of the nuclear force improve-
ment program, the Air Force will increase nuclear- 
manning levels and strengthen professional develop-
ment for the members of the Air Force supporting the 
nuclear mission of the Air Force in order ‘‘to address 
shortfalls and offer our airmen more stable work 
schedule and better quality of life’’. 
(5) Secretary of the Air Force Deborah Lee 
James, in recognition of the importance of the nuclear 
mission of the Air Force, proposed elevating the grade 
of the commander of the Air Force Global Strike
800 
† HR 1735 PAP1S 
Command from lieutenant general to general, and on 
March 30, 2015, the Senate confirmed a general as 
commander of that command. 
(6) The Air Force redirected more than 
$160,000,000 in fiscal year 2014 to alleviate urgent, 
near-term shortfalls within the nuclear mission of the 
Air Force as part of the nuclear force improvement 
program. 
(7) The Air Force plans to spend more than 
$200,000,000 on the nuclear force improvement pro-
gram in fiscal year 2015, and requested more than 
$130,000,000 for the program for fiscal year 2016. 
(8) Secretary of Defense Chuck Hagel said on 
November 14, 2014, that ‘‘[t]he nuclear mission plays 
a critical role in ensuring the Nation’s safety. No 
other enterprise we have is more important’’. 
(9) Secretary Hagel also said that the budget for 
the nuclear mission of the Air Force should increase 
by 10 percent over a five-year period. 
(10) Section 1652 of the Carl Levin and Howard 
P. ‘‘Buck’’ McKeon National Defense Authorization 
Act for Fiscal Year 2015 (Public Law 113–201; 128

of the United States ‘‘to ensure that the members of 
the Armed Forces who operate the nuclear deterrent
801 
† HR 1735 PAP1S 
of the United States have the training, resources, and 
national support required to execute the critical na-
tional security mission of the members’’. 
(b) SENSE OF SENATE.—It is the sense of the Senate 
that— 
(1) the nuclear mission of the Air Force should 
be a top priority for the Department of the Air Force 
and for Congress; 
(2) the members of the Air Force who operate 
and maintain the Nation’s nuclear deterrent perform 
work that is vital to the security of the United States; 
(3) the nuclear force improvement program of 
the Air Force has made significant near-term im-
provements for the members of the Air Force in the 
nuclear career field of the Air Force;

SEC. 1652. ADDITIONAL MISSILE DEFENSE SENSOR COV-
ERAGE 
FOR 
THE 
PROTECTION 
OF 
THE 
UNITED STATES HOMELAND. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) According to the Director of the Missile De-
fense Agency, there are two fundamental means for 
improving homeland missile defense capability and 
capacity, ‘‘one, is the reliability of the interceptor, 
and two, is the discrimination capability of the sys-
tem’’.
805 
† HR 1735 PAP1S 
(2) The Department of Defense will deploy a new 
midcourse tracking radar to provide persistent cov-
erage 
and 
improve 
discrimination 
capabilities 
against threats to the United States homeland from 
the Pacific region. 
(3) According to the Director of the Missile De-
fense Agency, a long-range discrimination radar will 
provide larger hit assessment coverage thereby ena-
bling improved warfighting capabilities to manage 
ground-based interceptor (GBI) inventory and im-
prove the capacity of the ballistic missile defense sys-
tem. 
(4) According to the Principal Deputy Under 
Secretary of Defense for Policy, ‘‘while Iran has not 
yet deployed an intercontinental ballistic missile, its 
progress on space launch vehicles—along with its de-
sire to deter the United States and its allies—pro-
vides Tehran with the means and motivation to de-
velop longer-range missiles, including an ICBM. Iran 
publically stated that it intends to launch a space- 
launch vehicle as early as this year capable of inter-
continental ranges, if configured as such’’. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 
that—
806 
† HR 1735 PAP1S 
(1) the currently deployed ground-based mid-
course defense system protects the entire United States 
homeland, including the East Coast, against the 
threat of limited ballistic missile attack from North 
Korea and Iran; and 
(2) additional missile defense sensor discrimina-
tion capabilities are needed to enhance the protection 
of the United States homeland against potential long- 
range ballistic missiles from Iran that, according to 
the Department of Defense, could soon be obtained by 
Iran as a result of its active space launch program. 
(c) DEPLOYMENT OF ADDITIONAL COVERAGE.—The 
Director of the Missile Defense Agency shall, in cooperation 
with the relevant combatant command, deploy by not later 
than December 31, 2020, a long-range discrimination radar 
or other appropriate tracking and discrimination sensor ca-
pabilities in a location optimized to support the defense of 
the homeland of the United States from emerging long-range 
ballistic missile threats from Iran.

of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), to pro-
vide anti-air defense capability at all missile defense sites 
of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in support of 
phases 2 and 3 of the European Phased Adaptive Approach. 
(b) REPORTS.—Not later than 180 days after the date 
of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary shall submit to 
the congressional defense committees a report describing— 
(1) the plan to provide anti-air defense capa-
bility as described in subsection (a); and 
(2) the contributions being made by the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization and members of such 
organization to support the provision of the capa-
bility described in such subsection.

SEC. 1671. MEASURES IN RESPONSE TO VIOLATIONS OF 
THE 
INTERMEDIATE-RANGE 
NUCLEAR 
FORCES TREATY BY THE RUSSIAN FEDERA-
TION. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) On July 31, 2014, the Department of State 
released its annual report entitled ‘‘Adherence to and 
Compliance With Arms Control, Nonproliferation, 
and Disarmament Agreements and Commitments’’, 
which included the finding that ‘‘[t]he United States 
has determined that the Russian Federation is in vio-
lation of its obligations under the INF Treaty not to 
possess, produce, or flight-test a ground-launched 
cruise missile (GLCM) with a range capability of 500 
km to 5,500 km, or to possess or produce launchers 
of such missiles’’. 
(2) The United States has undertaken diplomatic 
efforts to address with the Russian Federation its vio-
lations of the INF Treaty since 2013, and the Rus-
sian Federation has failed to respond to those efforts 
in any way. 
(3) The Commander of the United States Euro-
pean Command, and Supreme Allied Commander of 
Europe, General Philip Breedlove stated that ‘‘[a]
819 
† HR 1735 PAP1S 
weapon capability that violates the I.N.F., that is in-
troduced into the greater European land mass, is ab-
solutely a tool that will have to be dealt with’’ and 
‘‘[i]t can’t go unanswered’’. 
(4) The Secretary of Defense has informed Con-
gress that the range of options in response to the vio-
lation by the Russian Federation of the INF Treaty 
could include ‘‘active defenses to counter intermediate- 
range ground-launched cruise missiles; counterforce 
capabilities to prevent intermediate-range ground- 
launched cruise missile attacks; and countervailing 
strike capabilities to enhance U.S. or allied forces’’. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 
that— 
(1) the development and deployment of a nuclear 
ground-launched cruise missile by the Russian Fed-
eration in violation of the INF Treaty would pose a 
dangerous threat to the United States and its allies; 
(2) the Russian Federation has established an 
increasing role for nuclear weapons in its military 
strategy; 
(3) efforts taken by the President to compel the 
Russian Federation to return to compliance with the 
INF Treaty must be persistent and are in the best in-
820 
† HR 1735 PAP1S 
terests of the United States, but cannot be open-ended; 
and 
(4) efforts by the United States to develop mili-
tary and nonmilitary options for responding to viola-
tions of the INF Treaty could encourage the Russian 
Federation to return to compliance with the INF 
Treaty. 
(c) NOTIFICATION.—Not later than 180 days after the 
date of the enactment of this Act, and every 180 days there-
after, the President shall notify the appropriate congres-
sional committees with respect to whether the Russian Fed-
eration— 
(1) has flight-tested, has deployed, or possesses a 
military system that has achieved an initial oper-
ating capability that is either a ground-launched bal-
listic missile or ground-launched cruise missile with 
a flight-tested range of between 500 and 5,500 kilo-
meters; or 
(2) has begun taking measures to return to full 
compliance 
with 
the 
INF 
Treaty, 
including 
verification measures necessary to achieve high con-
fidence that any missile described in paragraph (1) 
will be eliminated. 
(d) UPDATES TO ALLIES.—Not later than 180 days 
after the date of the enactment of this Act, and every 180
821 
† HR 1735 PAP1S

that describes— 
(1) the status of updates provided to the North 
Atlantic Treaty Organization and other allies of the 
United States on the Russian Federation’s flight test-
ing, operating capability, and deployment of ground- 
launched ballistic missiles or ground-launched cruise 
missiles with a flight-tested range of between 500 and 
5,500 kilometers; and 
(2) efforts to develop, with the North Atlantic 
Treaty Organization and such allies, collective re-
sponses, including economic and military responses, 
to arms control violations by the Russian Federation, 
including violations of the INF Treaty. 
(e) PLAN ON RESPONSE OPTIONS.—

from fighting the terrorist organization known as the 
‘‘Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant’’ (ISIL) in 
Iraq and Syria. 
(3) Robust military intelligence support to force 
protection is necessary to detect and thwart potential 
terrorist plots that, if successful, would have strategic 
consequences for the United States and the allies of 
the United States in Europe. 
(4) Military intelligence support is also impor-
tant for detecting and addressing early indicators 
and warnings of aggression and assertive military ac-
