(3) Over 90 percent of Department of Defense 
funds for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have 
been provided as emergency funds in supplemental 
or additional appropriations. 
(4) The Congressional Budget Office and the 
Congressional Research Service have stated that fu-
ture war costs are difficult to estimate because the 
Department of Defense provides little information on 
costs incurred to date, does not report outlays or ac-
tual expenditures for war because war and baseline 
funds are mixed in the same accounts, and because 
of a lack of information from the Department of De-
fense on many of the key factors that determine 
costs, including personnel levels or the pace of oper-
ations. 
(5) Over 2 million United States troops have 
served in Iraq and Afghanistan since the beginning 
of the conflicts. 
(6) Over 4,400 United States troops and De-
partment of Defense civilian personnel have been 
killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom and over 1,060 
United States troops and Department of Defense ci-
vilian personnel have been killed in Operation En-
during Freedom.

tions, more than 129,654 Iraq and Afghanistan vet-
erans have been diagnosed with Post-Traumatic

Medical Center identified Traumatic Brain Injury, 
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, increased survival 
of severe burns, and traumatic amputations as the 
four signature wounds of the current conflicts. 
(11) The Independent Review Group report also 
states that the recovery process ‘‘can take months or 
years and must accommodate recurring or delayed 
manifestations of symptoms, extended rehabilitation 
and all the life complications that emerge over time 
from such trauma’’.

bilizing actions to be conducted by the anti-access power.

rity of U.S. alliances and security partnerships could be

SEC. 1236. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON MISSILE DEFENSE AND 
NEW START TREATY WITH RUSSIAN FEDERA-
TION. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The United States and the Russian Federa-
tion signed the Treaty between the United States of 
America and the Russian Federation on Measures 
for the Further Reduction and Limitation of Stra-
tegic Offensive Arms (commonly known as the ‘‘New 
START Treaty’’) on April 8, 2010. 
(2) The preamble of the New START Treaty 
states, ‘‘Recognizing the existence of the inter-
relationship between strategic offensive arms and 
strategic defensive arms, that this interrelationship 
will become more important as strategic nuclear 
arms are reduced, and that current strategic defen-
sive arms do not undermine the viability and effec-
tiveness of the strategic offensive arms of the Par-
ties.’’. 
(3) Officials of the United States have stated 
that the New START Treaty does not constrain the 
missile defenses of the United States and according 
to the New START Treaty U.S. Congressional 
Briefing Book of April, 2010, released by the De-
partment of State and the Department of Defense,

provements to both strategic and theater missile de-
fenses, both qualitatively and quantitatively, as need-
ed for our security and the security of our allies.’’. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) as stated by officials of the United States, 
there would be no limitations on any phase of the 
phased, adaptive approach to missile defense in Eu-
rope resulting from ratification of the New START 
treaty between the United States and Russia, signed 
on 8 April 2010; 
(2) the United States should deploy the phased, 
adaptive approach for missile defense in Europe to 
protect the United States, its deployed forces, and 
NATO allies, after appropriate testing and con-
sistent with NATO policy; and 
(3) the ground-based midcourse defense system 
in Alaska and California should be maintained, 
evolved, and appropriately tested because it is the 
only missile defense capability as of the date of the 
enactment of this Act that would protect the United 
States from the growing threat of a long-range bal-
listic missile attack.
