TITLE XII—JOINT WARFIGHTING
EXPERIMENTATION
SEC. 1201. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991 and
the unprecedented explosion of technological advances
that could fundamentally redefine military threats
and military capabilities in the future have generated
a need to assess the defense policy, strategy, and force
structure necessary to meet future defense require-
ments of the United States.
437
HR 3616 EAS1S
(2) The assessment conducted by the administra-
tion of President Bush (known as the ‘‘Base Force’’
assessment) and the assessment conducted by the ad-
ministration of President Clinton (known as the
‘‘Bottom-Up Review’’) were important attempts to re-
define the defense strategy of the United States and
the force structure of the Armed Forces necessary to
execute that strategy.
(3) Those assessments have become inadequate as
a result of the pace of global geopolitical change and
the speed of technological change, which have been
greater than expected.
(4) The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff re-
acted to the changing environment by developing and
publishing in May 1996 a vision statement, known as
‘‘Joint Vision 2010’’, to be a basis for the trans-
formation of United States military capabilities. The
vision statement embodies the improved intelligence
and command and control that is available in the in-
formation age and sets forth the operational concepts
of dominant maneuver, precision engagement, full-di-
mensional protection, and focused logistics to achieve
the objective of full spectrum dominance.
(5) In 1996 Congress, concerned about the short-
comings in defense policies and programs derived
438
HR 3616 EAS1S
from the Base-Force Review and the Bottom-Up Re-
view, determined that there was a need for a new,
comprehensive assessment of the defense strategy of the
United States and the force structure of the Armed
Forces necessary for meeting the threats to the United
States in the 21st century.
(6) As a result of that determination, Congress
passed the Military Force Structure Review Act of
1996 (subtitle B of title IX of the National Defense
Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1997), which re-
quired the Secretary of Defense to complete in 1997
a quadrennial defense review of the defense program
of the United States. The review was required to in-
clude a comprehensive examination of the defense
strategy, force structure, force modernization plans,
infrastructure, and other elements of the defense pro-
gram and policies with a view toward determining
and expressing the defense strategy of the United
States and establishing a revised defense program
through 2005. The Act also established a National De-
fense Panel to assess the Quadrennial Defense Review
and to conduct an independent, nonpartisan review of
the strategy, force structure, and funding required to
meet anticipated threats to the national security of
the United States through 2010 and beyond.
439
HR 3616 EAS1S
(7) The Quadrennial Defense Review, completed
by the Secretary of Defense in May 1997, defined the
defense strategy in terms of ‘‘Shape, Respond, and
Prepare Now’’. The Quadrennial Defense Review
placed greater emphasis on the need to prepare now
for an uncertain future by exploiting the revolution
in technology and transforming the force toward
Joint Vision 2010. It concluded that our future force
will be different in character than our current force.
(8) The National Defense Panel Report, pub-
lished in December 1997, concluded that ‘‘the Depart-
ment of Defense should accord the highest priority to
executing a transformation strategy for the United
States military, starting now.’’ The panel rec-
ommended the establishment of a Joint Forces Com-
mand with the responsibility to be the joint force inte-
grator and provider and the responsibility for driving
the process for transforming United States forces, in-
cluding the conduct of joint experimentation, and to
have the budget for carrying out those responsibilities.
(9) The assessments of both the Quadrennial De-
fense Review and the National Defense Panel provide
Congress with a compelling argument that the future
security environment and the military challenges to
be faced by the United States in the future will be
440
HR 3616 EAS1S
fundamentally different than the current environment
and challenges. The assessments also reinforce the
foundational premise of the Goldwater-Nichols De-
partment of Defense Reorganization Act of 1986 that
warfare, in all of its varieties, will be joint warfare
requiring the execution of developed joint operational
concepts.
(10) A process of joint experimentation is nec-
essary for—
(A) integrating advances in technology with
changes in the organizational structure of the
Armed Forces and the development of joint oper-
ational concepts that will be effective against na-
tional security threats anticipated for the future;
and
(B) identifying and assessing the inter-
dependent aspects of joint warfare that are key
for transforming the conduct of military oper-
ations by the United States to meet those antici-
pated threats successfully.
(11) It is critical for future readiness that the
Armed Forces of the United States innovatively inves-
tigate and test technologies, forces, and joint oper-
ational concepts in simulations, wargames, and vir-
tual settings, as well as in field environments under
441
HR 3616 EAS1S
realistic conditions against the full range of future
challenges. It is essential that an energetic and inno-
vative organization be established and empowered to
design and implement a process of joint experimen-
tation to develop and validate new joint warfighting
concepts, along with experimentation by the Armed
Forces, that is directed at transforming the Armed
Forces to meet the threats to the national security
that are anticipated for the early 21st century. That
process will drive changes in doctrine, organization,
training and education, materiel, leadership, and per-
sonnel.
(12) The Department of Defense is committed to
conducting aggressive experimentation as a key com-
ponent of its transformation strategy.
(13) The competition of ideas is critical for
achieving effective transformation. Experimentation
by each of the Armed Forces has been, and will con-
tinue to be, a vital aspect of the pursuit of effective
transformation. Joint experimentation leverages the
effectiveness of each of the Armed Forces and the De-
fense Agencies.

(10) Providing the Secretary of Defense and the
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff with the com-
mander’s recommendations (developed on the basis of
joint experimentation) regarding synchronization of
the fielding of advanced technologies among the
Armed Forces to enable the development and execu-
tion of joint operational concepts.
(11) Submitting, reviewing, and making rec-
ommendations (in conjunction with the joint experi-
mentation and evaluation process) to the Chairman of
the Joint Chiefs of Staff on mission needs statements
and operational requirements documents.
(12) Exploring new operational concepts (includ-
ing those developed within the Office of the Secretary
of Defense and Defense Agencies, other unified com-
mands, the Armed Forces, and the Joint Staff), and
integrating and testing in joint experimentation the
systems and concepts that result from warfighting ex-
perimentation by the Armed Forces and the Defense
Agencies.
(13) Developing, planning, refining, assessing,
and recommending to the Secretary of Defense and
the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff the most

(14) Assisting the Secretary of Defense and the
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to prioritize
joint requirements and acquisition programs on the
basis of joint warfighting experimentation.
(d) CONTINUED EXPERIMENTATION BY OTHER DE-
FENSE ORGANIZATIONS.—It is, further, the sense of Con-
gress that—
(1) the Armed Forces are expected to continue to
develop concepts and conduct intraservice and multi-
service warfighting experimentation within their core
competencies; and
(2) the commander of United States Special Op-
erations Command is expected to continue to develop
concepts and conduct joint experimentation associated

the closure of additional military installations in the

ity in such installations.

installations is a valuable asset, and the utilization
of such capacity presents a potential economic benefit
for the Department and the Nation.

onstrated that the military departments and private
527
HR 3616 EAS1S
businesses can carry out activities at the same mili-
tary installation simultaneously.

following:
531
HR 3616 EAS1S
‘‘§ 2688. Base closures and realignments: closure pro-
hibited within four years after realign-
ment in certain cases
‘‘(a) PROHIBITION.—Notwithstanding any other pro-
vision of law, no action may be taken, and no funds appro-
priated or otherwise available to the Department of Defense
may be obligated or expended, to effect or implement the
closure of a military installation within 4 years after the
completion of a realignment of the installation that, alone
or with other causes, reduced the number of civilian person-
nel employed at that installation below 225.
‘‘(b) DEFINITIONS.—In this section, the terms ‘mili-
tary installation’, ‘civilian personnel’, and ‘realignment’
have the meanings given such terms in section 2687(e) of

HR 3616 EAS1S
SEC. 2853. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON FURTHER ROUNDS OF
BASE CLOSURES.
(a) FINDINGS.—The Senate finds that:
(1) While the Department of Defense has pro-
posed further rounds of base closures, there is no need
to authorize in 1998 a new base closure commission
that would not begin its work until three years from
now, in 2001.
(2) While the Department of Defense has submit-
ted a report to the Congress in response to section
2824 of the National Defense Authorization Act for
Fiscal Year 1998, that report—
(A) based its estimates of the costs and sav-
ings of previous base closure rounds on data that
the General Accounting Office has described as
‘‘inconsistent’’, ‘‘unreliable’’ and ‘‘incomplete’’;
(B) failed to demonstrate that the Defense
Department is working effectively to improve its
ability to track base closure costs and savings re-
sulting from the 1993 and 1995 base closure
rounds, which are ongoing;
(C) modeled the savings to be achieved as a
result of further base closure rounds on the 1993
and 1995 rounds, which are as yet incomplete
and on which the Department’s information is
faulty; and
533
HR 3616 EAS1S
(D) projected that base closure rounds in
2001 and 2005 would not produce substantial
savings until 2008, a decade after the Federal
Government will have achieved unified budget
balance, and 5 years beyond the planning period
for the current congressional budget and Future
Years Defense Plan.
(3) Section 2824 required that the Congressional
Budget Office and the General Accounting Office re-
view the Defense Department’s report, and—
(A) the General Accounting Office stated on
May 1 that ‘‘we are now conducting our analysis
to be able to report any limitations that may
exist in the required level of detail. . . . [W]e
are awaiting some supporting documentation
from the military services to help us finish as-
sessing the report’s information.’’;
(B) the Congressional Budget Office stated
on May 1 that its review is ongoing, and that
‘‘it is important that CBO take the time nec-
essary to provide a thoughtful and accurate eval-
uation of DOD’s report, rather than issue a pre-
liminary and potentially inaccurate assess-
ment.’’.
534
HR 3616 EAS1S
(4) 
The 
Congressional 
Budget 
Office 
rec-
ommended that ‘‘The Congress could consider author-
izing an additional round of base closures if the De-
partment of Defense believes that there is a surplus of
military capacity after all rounds of BRAC have been
carried out. That consideration, however, should fol-
low an interval during which DOD and independent
analysts examine the actual impact of the measures
that have been taken thus far.’’.
(b) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.—It is the sense of the
Congress that—
(1) Congress should not authorize further rounds
of base closures and realignments until all actions au-
thorized by the Defense Base Closure and Realign-
ment Act of 1990 are completed; and
(2) the Department of Defense should submit
forthwith to the Congress the report required by sec-
tion 2815 of Public Law 103–337, analyzing the ef-
fects of base closures and realignments on the ability
of the Armed Forces to remobilize, describing the mili-
tary construction projects needed to facilitate such re-
mobilization, and discussing the assets, such as air
space, that would be difficult to reacquire in the event
of such remobilization.

SEC. 2904. AGENCY AGREEMENT
The Bureau of Land Management and the Air Force
have agreed upon additional mitigation measures associ-
ated with this land withdrawal as specified in the ‘‘EN-
HANCED TRAINING IN IDAHO Memorandum of Under-
standing Between The Bureau of Land Management and
The United States Air Force’’ that is dated June 11, 1998.
This agreement specifies that these mitigation measures will
be adopted as part of the Air Force’s Record of Decision
for Enhanced Training in Idaho. Congress endorses this col-
laborative effort between the agencies and directs that the
agreement be implemented: Provided, however, That the
parties may, in accordance with the National Environ-
mental Policy Act of 1969, as amended, mutually agree to
modify the mitigation measures specified in the agreement
in light of experience gained through the actions called for
in the agreement or as a result of changed military cir-
cumstances: Provided further, That neither the agreement,
any modification thereof, nor this section creates any right,
benefit, or trust responsibility, substantive or procedural,
539
HR 3616 EAS1S
enforceable at law or equity by a party against the United
States, its agencies, its officers, or any person.
SEC. 2905. RIGHT-OF-WAY GRANTS.
In addition to the withdrawal under section 2902 and
in accordance with all applicable laws, the Secretary of the
Interior shall process and grant the Secretary of the Air
Force rights-of-way using the Department of the Interior
regulations and policies in effect at the time of filing appli-

ties as described and analyzed in the Enhanced Training
in Idaho Final Environmental Impact Statement, dated
January 1998.
SEC. 2906. INDIAN SACRED SITES.
(a) MANAGEMENT.—In the management of the Federal
lands withdrawn and reserved by this title, the Air Force
shall, to the extent practicable and not clearly inconsistent
with essential agency functions, (1) accommodate access to
and ceremonial use of Indian sacred sites by Indian reli-
gious practitioners and (2) avoid adversely affecting the in-
tegrity of such sacred sites. The Air Force shall maintain
the confidentiality of such sites where appropriate. The
term ‘‘sacred site’’ shall mean any specific, discrete, nar-
rowly delineated location on Federal land that is identified
by an Indian tribe, or Indian individual determined to be
540
HR 3616 EAS1S
an appropriately authoritative representative of an Indian
religion, as sacred by virtue of its established religious sig-
nificance to, or ceremonial use by, an Indian religion: Pro-
vided, That the tribe or appropriately authoritative rep-
resentative of an Indian religion has informed the Air Force
of the existence of such a site. The term ‘‘Indian tribe’’
means an Indian or Alaska Native tribe, band, nation,
pueblo, village, or community that the Secretary of the Inte-
rior acknowledges to exist as an Indian tribe pursuant to
Public Law 103–454 (108 Stat. 4791), and ‘‘Indian’’ refers
to a member of such an Indian tribe.
(b) CONSULTATION.—Air Force officials at Mountain
Home Air Force Base shall regularly consult with the Trib-
al Chairman of the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes of the Duck Val-
ley Reservation to assure that tribal government rights and
concerns are fully considered during the development of the

rected to, upon such terms and conditions as the Secretary
of the Air Force considers just and in the national interest,
conclude and implement agreements with the grazing per-
mittees to provide appropriate consideration, including fu-
ture grazing arrangements. Upon the conclusion of these
541
HR 3616 EAS1S
agreements, the Assistant Secretary, Land and Minerals
Management, shall grant rights-of-way and approvals and
take such actions as are necessary to implement promptly
this title and the agreements with the grazing permittees.
The Secretary of the Air Force and the Secretary of the In-
terior shall allow the grazing permittees for lands with-
drawn and reserved by this title to continue their activities
on the lands in accordance with the permits and their ap-
plicable regulations until the Secretary of the Air Force has
