COOPERATION 
BETWEEN 
THE 
UNITED 
STATES AND BURMA. 
It is the sense of the Congress that— 
(1) as the United States policy rebalances to-
wards Asia, it is critical that the United States mili-
tary comprehensively evaluate its engagement with 
Burma; 
(2) the future of the military-to-military rela-
tionship between the United States and Burma should 
take into account the current ethnic conflict in

Burma and persecution of ethnic and religious mi-
norities; 
(3) while the United States has national security 
interests in Burma’s peace and stability, the peaceful 
settlement of armed conflicts with the ethnic minority 
groups requires the Burmese military to respect 
ceasefire agreements, laws of war, and human rights 
provisions; and 
(4) the Department of Defense should fully con-
sider and assess the Burmese military’s efforts to im-
plement reforms, end impunity for human rights 
abuses, and increase transparency and accountability 
before expanding military-to-military cooperation be-
yond initial dialogue and isolated engagements. 
SEC. 1256. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON THE STATIONING OF 
UNITED STATES FORCES IN EUROPE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) During the past several years, over 700 ki-
netic terror incidents have occurred in the U.S. Euro-
pean Command (EUCOM) area of operations. Rising 
tensions in the region due to unemployment, fiscal in-
solvency, ethnic strife, hegemonic desires, and ter-
rorism, pose risks to the security and stability of Eu-
rope.

(2) Arab Spring uprisings in Middle Eastern 
and North African countries, including the Republic 
of Mali, the Arab Republic of Egypt, Libya, and the 
Syrian Arab Republic (Syria), have presented emerg-
ing strategic challenges that present significant impli-
cations for regional stability, the security of the State 
of Israel (Israel), and the national security interests 
of the United States and many European allies. 
(3) U.S. Africa Command does not have formally 
assigned Army or Marine Corps units assigned to it 
and it continues to share Air Force and Navy compo-
nent commands with EUCOM. Consequently, United 
States forces stationed in Europe have been deployed 
to support contingencies associated with the Arab 
Spring in North Africa. 
(4) The Commander of U.S. European Com-
mand is responsible for developing operational plans 
for the defense of Israel. Moreover, forces stationed in 
Europe would be deployed to defend Israel in the 
event of such a contingency. 
(5) Regimes, including the Islamic Republic of 
Iran and Syria, continue efforts to procure, develop, 
and proliferate advanced ballistic missile technologies 
that pose a serious threat to United States forces and 
installations in the theater, as well as to the territory,
