populations, and forces of Israel and European allies. 
United States missile defense capabilities in Europe 
seek to mitigate these threats. 
(6) Violent extremist organizations, including 
Kongra-Gel, al Qaida, Lebanese Hizballah, and Ira-
nian Qods Force, may utilize Europe as an impor-
tant venue for recruitment, logistical support, financ-
ing, and the targeting of the United States and West-
ern interests. 
(7) Congress has lacked sufficient data to com-
pare the strategic benefits and the costs associated 
with permanently stationing forces in Europe. The 
Government Accountability Office (GAO) has found 
that the combatant commands do not completely and 
consistently report cost data in their theater posture 
plans. In particular, GAO reported in February 2011 
that EUCOM lacks comprehensive cost data in its 
theater posture plans and therefore decision makers 
lack critical information that could be used to make 
fully informed posture decisions. Additionally, in 
June 2012, GAO found that the Department of De-
fense has taken steps to align posture initiatives with 
strategy and cost, but continues to lack comprehensive 
and consistent cost estimates of initiatives.

(8) The Department of Defense has reported that 
the cost of permanently stationing forces in the 
United States rather than overseas is often offset by 
such factors as increased rotational costs. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Congress 
that— 
(1) an enduring United States presence and en-
gagement across Europe and Eurasia provides the 
critical access and infrastructure necessary to accom-
plish United States strategic priorities, expand 
United States global reach to Europe, Eurasia, the 
Middle East, Africa, as well as the Mediterranean 
and Atlantic Oceans, and facilitates a rapid United 
States response for complex contingencies; 
(2) the United States continues to have an inter-
est in supporting the stability and security of Europe, 
especially in a dynamic and challenging global secu-
rity environment; 
(3) forward-stationed active duty service mem-
bers, forward-deployed rotational units, and reserve 
forces assigned to U.S. European Command remain 
essential for United States planning, logistics, and 
operations in support of U.S. Central Command, 
U.S. Africa Command, U.S. Transportation Com-
mand, U.S. Special Operations Command, and U.S.

Strategic Command, as well as fulfilling commit-
ments under Article V of the North Atlantic Charter; 
(4) in light of the benefits associated with defense 
of the homeland forward and strategic access, as well 
as the potential for rotational deployments to increase 
cost to the Department of Defense, the Department of 
Defense should implement the recommendations of the 
Government Accountability Office with regard to im-
proved cost estimation to enable informed force pos-
ture decisions prior to making any further significant 
changes to the United States force posture in Europe 
that could increase risk for the United States; and 
(5) the Secretary of Defense should keep Congress 
fully and currently informed regarding the require-
ments of the United States force posture in Europe 
and the costs associated with maintaining such force. 
SEC. 1257. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON MILITARY CAPABILI-
TIES OF THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA. 
Congress— 
(1) notes the People’s Republic of China (PRC) 
continues to rapidly modernize and expand its mili-
tary capabilities across the land, sea, air, space, and 
cyberspace domains; 
(2) is concerned by the rate and scope of PRC 
military developments, including its military-focused

cyber espionage, which indicate a desire to constrain 
or prevent the peaceful activities of the United States 
and its allies in the Western Pacific; 
(3) concurs with Admiral Samuel Locklear, com-
mander of U.S. Pacific Command, that ‘‘China’s 
rapid development of advanced military capabilities, 
combined with its unclear intentions, certainly raises 
strategic and security concerns for the U.S and the 
region’’; 
(4) notes the United States remains committed 
to a robust forward military-presence in the Asia-Pa-
cific and will continue to vigorously support mutual 
defense arrangements with treaty allies while also 
building deeper relationships with other strategic 
partners in the region; and 
(5) urges the Government of the PRC to work 
peacefully to resolve existing territorial disputes and 
to adopt a maritime code of conduct with relevant 
parties to guide all forms of maritime interaction and 
communications in the Asia-Pacific.
