SEC. 333. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING INTEGRATION 
OF BALLISTIC MISSILE DEFENSE TRAINING 
ACROSS AND BETWEEN COMBATANT COM-
MANDS AND MILITARY SERVICES. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds that ballistic missile 
defense is an inherently joint operation that requires close 
coordination between combatant commands and military 
services at all levels, from the strategic to the operational 
to the tactical. Since the time available to identify, track, 
and intercept ballistic missiles will be less than 30 min-
utes, joint training to improve the ability of the military 
departments and combatant commands to work together 
is essential for successfully planning and conducting bal-
listic missile defense operations. Congress has previously 
expressed concern that gaps in joint missile defense train-
ing, from the lowest sensor or shooter operator level to 
the highest levels of decision-making on combatant com-
mand staffs, must be identified and rectified. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) improving the integration of ballistic missile 
defense training across and between combatant com-
mands and military services and fully identifying the 
training requirements, capabilities, and resources 
that the Department of Defense needs to effectively 
train for this complex mission is vital to the protec-

SEC. 368. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON PROPOSED FEDERAL 
AVIATION 
ADMINISTRATION 
CHANGES 
TO 
FLIGHT CREW MEMBER DUTY AND REST RE-
QUIREMENTS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress makes the following find-
ings: 
(1) Section 212 of the Airline Safety and Fed-
eral Aviation Administration Extension Act of 2010 
(Public Law 111–216; 49 U.S.C. 44701 note) di-
rected the Administrator of the Federal Aviation Ad-
ministration to issue regulations, based on the best 
available scientific information, to specify limitations 
on the hours of flight and duty time allowed for pi-
lots to address problems relating to pilot fatigue. 
(2) On September 14, 2010, the Federal Avia-
tion Administration issued a Notice of Proposed 
Rulemaking titled ‘‘Flightcrew Member Duty and 
Rest Requirements’’. 
(3) Between March 2010 and March 2011, the 
Air Mobility Command and its Civil Reserve Air 
Fleet partners airlifted more than 2,000,000 pas-
sengers and 848,000 tons of cargo around the world

in support of the missions of the Department of De-
fense. 
(4) An Air Force Institute of Technology study 
titled ‘‘Civil Reserve Airlift Fleet (CRAF) Crew Rest 
Study’’ analyzed 2264 missions flown by Civil Re-
serve Air Fleet carriers under contract with the De-
partment of Defense between May and September 
2011, and concluded that over 80 percent of those 
missions may have been infeasible had the proposed 
rule referred to in paragraph (2) been in effect dur-
ing such period. 
(5) On February 15, 2011, General Duncan J. 
McNabb, Commander of the United States Trans-
portation Command, wrote to the Administrator of 
the Federal Aviation Administration expressing sig-
nificant concern about the proposed rule change and 
stating that the Operational Risk Management ap-
proach of the United States Transportation Com-
mand mitigated operational hazards and included 
‘‘reasonable measures to reduce risk to personnel, 
equipment and the mission’’. In the letter, General 
McNabb noted that he believes there is room for 
proper exceptions to the proposed rule and went on 
to write that ‘‘through cooperation, we can develop 
mutually acceptable guidelines that not only mitigate

the impact of crew fatigue, but afford all carriers 
the flexibility to implement safer aircrew processes’’. 
(6) The United States Transportation Com-
mand is relying heavily on the Civil Reserve Air 
Fleet as a critical partner as they effectively and ef-
ficiently deploy and sustain the warfighter in simul-
taneous operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Libya 
and in relief operations in Japan. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) when faced with immediate and long-term 
world events, the superb team of the United States 
Transportation Command successfully overcomes 
many obstacles to support the national security ob-
jectives of the United States with world-class logis-
tics and the Civil Reserve Air Fleet program is one 
of the major reasons they deliver both combat power 
and humanitarian relief on time, on target, and at 
best value to the taxpayer; 
(2) the Administrator of the Federal Aviation 
Administration should make every effort to ensure 
that any changes to guidelines, regulations, and 
rules of the Federal Aviation Administration, includ-
ing changes to the Flightcrew Member Duty and 
Rest Requirements, fully consider the impact of such

changes on Civil Reserve Air Fleet carriers, the 
United States Transportation Command, and the 
Department of Defense; and 
(3) the Administrator of the Federal Aviation 
Administration, in consultation with the Commander 
of the United States Transportation Command, 
should develop guidelines that address not only crew 
fatigue, but also enhance safety while minimizing the 
impact on the mission of the United States Trans-
portation Command and the Department of Defense.

TAIN LAW ENFORCEMENT PERSONNEL.
