Subtitle C—Reports and Other 
Matters 
SEC. 6521. REPORT ON ASSESSING WILL TO FIGHT. 
(a) DEFINITIONS.—In this section: 
(1) APPROPRIATE CONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEES.— 
The term ‘‘appropriate congressional committees’’ means 
the following: 
(A) The congressional intelligence committees. 
(B) The Committee on Foreign Relations, the 
Committee on Armed Services, and the Sub-
2618 
•HRES 1512 EH 
committee on Defense of the Committee on Appro-
priations of the Senate. 
(C) The Committee on Foreign Affairs, the 
Committee on Armed Services, and the Sub-
committee on Defense of the Committee on Appro-
priations of the House of Representatives. 
(2) MILITARY WILL TO FIGHT.—The term ‘‘military 
will to fight’’ means, with respect to the military of a 
country, the disposition and decision to fight, act, or per-
severe as needed. 
(3) NATIONAL
WILL
TO
FIGHT.—The term ‘‘na-
tional will to fight’’ means, with respect to the govern-
ment of a country, the resolve to conduct sustained mili-
tary and other operations for an objective even when the 
expectation of success decreases or the need for signifi-
cant political, economic, and military sacrifices increases. 
(b) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) According to a study by the RAND corporation, 
‘‘will to fight’’ is poorly analyzed and the least under-
stood aspect of war. 
(2) In testimony before the Select Committee on In-
telligence of the Senate in May 2022, top intelligence of-
ficials of the United States indicated that although the 
intelligence community accurately anticipated Russia’s 
invasion of Ukraine, the intelligence community did not
2619 
•HRES 1512 EH 
accurately assess the will of Ukrainian forces to fight in 
opposition to a Russian invasion or that the Ukrainian 
forces would succeed in averting a rapid Russian mili-
tary occupation of Kyiv. 
(3) According to the RAND corporation, the intel-
ligence community estimated that the Afghan govern-
ment’s forces could hold out against the Taliban for as 
long as 2 years if all ground forces of the United States 
were withdrawn. This estimate was revised in June 2021 
to reflect an intelligence community view that Afghani-
stan’s military collapse could come in 6 to 12 months. 
In August 2021, the Afghan government fell within days 
after the ground forces of the United States were with-
drawn. 
(4) Similarly, the rapid advance of the Islamic State 
in Iraq and Syria and near-total collapse of the Iraqi Se-
curity Forces in 2014 appeared to take the policymakers 
of the United States by surprise. 
(5) The apparent gaps in these analyses had impor-
tant implications for policy decisions of the United 
States toward Russia and Afghanistan, and suggest a 
need for further examination of how the intelligence 
community assesses a foreign military’s will to fight. 
(c) REPORT.—Not later than 180 days after the date of 
the enactment of this Act, the Director of National Intel-
2620 
•HRES 1512 EH 
ligence, acting through the National Intelligence Council and 
in coordination with the heads of the elements of the intel-
ligence community that the Director determines appropriate, 
shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees a 
report examining the extent to which analyses of the military 
will to fight and the national will to fight informed the all- 
source analyses of the intelligence community regarding how 
the armed forces and governments of Ukraine, Afghanistan, 
and Iraq would perform at key junctures. 
(d) ELEMENTS.—The report under subsection (c) shall 
include the following: 
(1) The methodology of the intelligence community 
for measuring the military will to fight and the national 
will to fight of a foreign country. 
(2) The extent to which analysts of the intelligence 
community applied such methodology when assessing the 
military will to fight and the national will to fight of— 
(A) Afghanistan following the April 2021 an-
nouncement of the full withdrawal of the United 
States Armed Forces; 
(B) Iraq in the face of the rapid emergence 
and advancement in 2014 of Islamic State in Iraq 
and Syria; and
2621 
•HRES 1512 EH 
(C) Ukraine and Russia during the initial 
phase of the invasion and march toward Kyiv by 
Russia in February 2022. 
(3) The extent to which— 
(A) the assessments described in paragraph (2) 
depended on the observations of personnel of the 
United States Armed Forces who had trained Af-
ghan, Iraqi, and Ukrainian armed forces; and 
(B) such observations reflected any standard-
ized, objective methodology. 
(4) Whether shortcomings in assessing the military 
will to fight and the national will to fight may have af-
fected the capacity of the intelligence community to pro-
vide ‘‘early warning’’ about the collapse of government 
forces in Iraq and Afghanistan. 
(5) The extent to which ‘‘red teaming’’ was used to 
test the assessments described in paragraph (2). 
(6) The extent to which dissenting opinions of intel-
ligence analysts were highlighted in final written prod-
ucts presented to senior policymakers of the United 
States. 
(7) The extent to which analysts and supervisors 
adhered to the policies, procedures, directives, and best 
practices of the intelligence community.
2622 
•HRES 1512 EH 
(8) Recommendations for analyses by the intel-
ligence community going forward to incorporate lessons 
learned and enhance the quality of future analytical 
products to more accurately reflect the military will to 
fight and the national will to fight and improve the ca-
pacity of the intelligence community to accurately pre-
dict the success or failure of the armed forces of a for-
eign country. 
(e) ANNEX.—In submitting the report under subsection 
(c) to the congressional intelligence committees, the Sub-
committee on Defense of the Committee on Appropriations of 
the Senate, and the Subcommittee on Defense of the Com-
mittee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives, 
the Director shall also include an accompanying annex, which 
shall be classified, providing an inventory of the following: 
(1) Collection gaps and challenges that may have

in Iraq and Afghanistan.

ligence has taken to mitigate such gaps and challenges.

mitted in classified form, but if so submitted, shall include

protection of intelligence sources and methods.
