larly dangerous training activities (such as Ranger training, Search,
Evasion, Rescue, and Escape (SERE) training, SEAL training, and

(1) that the Secretary of Defense, in conjunction with the
Secretaries of the military departments, should review and,
if necessary, enhance oversight of all such training activities;
and
(2) that organizations similar to the safety cells required
to be established for Army Ranger training in section 4303

measure and manage personnel tempo rates.

and personnel tempo for heavily tasked units by employing
alternative capabilities and reducing tasking requirements.

OF CONGRESS.—The Secretary of Defense should
continue to enhance the knowledge within the Armed Forces of
personnel tempo and to improve the techniques by which personnel
tempo is defined and managed with a view toward establishing

nel, regardless of service, unit, or assignment.
