period October 1, 2013, through September 30, 2014. Functional areas include the pay, allowances, and support of military personnel, operation and maintenance of the forces, procurement of equipment and systems, and research, development, test and evaluation. Appropriations for foreign military assistance, military construction, family housing, nuclear weapons programs, and civil defense are provided in other bills. Hearings The Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense began hearings on April 17, 2013, and concluded them on July 17, 2013, after nine separate sessions. The subcommittee heard testimony from representatives of the Department of Defense, other Federal agencies, and representatives of organizations. Summary of the Bill The Committee recommendation of $587,462,934,000 includes funding to develop, maintain, and equip the military forces of the United States in nonemergency appropriations. The fiscal year 2014 budget request for activities funded in the Department of Defense appropriations bill totals $589,636,069,000 in new budget authority, including $80,558,154,000 in contingency funding and $514,000,000 in mandatory spending. In fiscal year 2013, the Congress appropriated $596,970,970,000 for activities funded in this bill. This amount includes $509,927,697,000 in nonemergency appropriations, $86,954,838,000 in overseas contingency operations appropriations and $88,335,000 in disaster relief appropriations. The Committee recommendation in this bill is $9,508,036,000 below the amount provided in fiscal year 2013 and $2,173,135,000 below the amount requested for fiscal year 2014. The Committee recommends that $227,033,000 requested for Coast Guard activities be appropriated directly to the Department of Homeland Security.

The Committee has displayed recommended adjustments in tables presented under each appropriation account. These adjustments reflect the following Committee actions: elimination of funds requested for programs which are lower priority, duplicative, or not supported by firm requirements in out-year development or procurement appropriations; deletion of excess funds based on program delays or slow execution; addition of funds to reflect congressional priorities and to rectify shortfalls in the budget estimate; and implementation of recommendations in S. 1197, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014, as reported. The Committee directs that the funding increases outlined in these tables shall be provided only for the specific purposes indicated in the table. CLASSIFIED PROGRAM ADJUSTMENTS The Committee recommends adjustments to certain classified programs, as explained in the classified annex to the Committee's report. Definition of Program, Project and Activity In fiscal year 2014, for purposes of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-177), as amended, the term ``program, project and activity'' for appropriations contained in this act shall be defined as the most specific level of budget items identified in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2014 and the P-1 and R-1 budget justification documents as subsequently modified by congressional action. The following exception to the above definition shall apply: for the military personnel and operation and maintenance accounts the term ``program, project and activity'' is defined as the appropriations accounts contained in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act. In carrying out any Presidential sequestration, the Department of Defense and agencies shall conform to the definition for ``program, project and activity'' set forth above. Committee Initiatives The Committee has included funding above the President's budget request for several programmatic initiatives which the Committee believes are of inherent value for national defense. In several cases, funds are restored for programs which were included in previous Department of Defense budget requests, and several are for programs that the Committee believes are necessary to improve defense even though they have not been included under the request formulated by the Department of Defense. For instance, the Committee provides additional research funding in the following areas: alternative energy, unexploded ordnance and landmine detection, nanotechnology, advanced metals and materials, military burn treatment, and traumatic brain injury and psychological health. The Committee believes additional research funding is warranted in these and other areas to ensure that the Department of Defense continues to pursue technological advances that are critical to our national defense. The Committee has also provided funding for programs that are chronically underfunded, such as range conservation. The Committee directs that funds for these initiatives are to be competitively awarded or provided to programs that have received competitive awards in the past. F-35 JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER On June 19, 2013, the Committee held its first dedicated hearing on the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter [JSF]. While the program is making progress in the development and test of the aircraft, significant challenges remain. Therefore, the Committee recommends the following adjustments to the fiscal year 2014 budget request to ensure that the program stays focused on reducing risk in the development and test phase, remains on a positive trend of reducing concurrency costs, and is affordable for both U.S. and allied purchase now and into the future. The Department's fiscal year 2014 request maintains production of F-35 aircraft at 29 aircraft, consistent with 2013 levels, but increases advance procurement of 2015 aircraft by 13, to a total of 42 aircraft. This would be a 45-percent increase in production when the F-35 program continues to experience considerable challenges with software development, system reliability, and maintenance system development. Given the scope of issues that must be addressed in this phase of the program, a large increase in the production of aircraft is not yet warranted. However, the Committee acknowledges the positive trends in the program and understands the need to increase production rates to bring down unit cost. Therefore, the Committee recommends an increase in fiscal year 2014 advance procurement of seven aircraft for the Air Force variant for a total of 26 aircraft, a reduction in advance procurement of four aircraft and $48,000,000. In addition, the Committee does not recommend increased advance procurement for the Navy F-35 variant since it remains behind the other two variants in testing, a reduction of two aircraft and $31,500,000. This recommendation provides a 24-percent increase in F-35 production from fiscal year 2014 to fiscal year 2015, or an increase of seven aircraft. The budget request includes $32,000,000 to start the follow-on development program. The Committee believes it is too early to start new efforts when the current development program still has challenges and, therefore, recommends a $20,000,000 reduction. The remaining funds should be used to complete the analysis and staffing necessary to finalize the F-35 follow-on development capabilities development document that should be approved by the Joint Requirements Oversight Council [JROC] during fiscal year 2014. Furthermore, the Committee notes that the F-35 draft schedule for follow-on Block 4 capabilities would span over 6 years, would be concurrent with the ongoing F-35 development efforts, and is projected to cost $3,800,000,000. Given the current fiscal environment and the anticipated ramp-up of F-35 production during this same time period, the Committee believes Block 4, as currently planned, is unaffordable. Understanding that the F-35 international partners are interested in getting their specific weapons integrated onto the aircraft and will fund the requisite work, the Committee encourages the Secretary of Defense and the JROC to place priority on integrating these weapons onto the F-35 during Block 4 follow-on development. In addition, the Department requests $10,000,000 to assess B61 nuclear bomb integration onto the F-35. The Committee understands the Department is currently planning that the B61 capability will deliver as part of Block 4, but the JROC has not approved the capability content of Block 4. Therefore, the Committee recommends no funding for F-35 dual capable aircraft. F-35 MANAGEMENT The Committee supports the Department's decision to modify the F-35 management charter and specify that the Program Executive Officer [PEO] serves at the pleasure of the Secretary of Defense rather than for a 2-year term. The Committee believes the F-35 program will benefit from consistent leadership that will ensure positive programmatic changes become embedded in the F-35 culture. CYBER MISSION FORCES National Guard and Reserves in the Cyber National Mission Forces.--With submission of the fiscal year 2014 budget request, the Department of Defense--through U.S. Cyber Command and the National Security Agency--formally submitted its proposed realignment of cyber mission forces into National Mission Teams, Combat Mission Teams, and Cyber Protection Teams. Over the next several years, the military services will be providing additional cyber mission forces to U.S. Cyber Command, composed of an active duty, civilian, and contractor workforce that has yet to be determined. The Committee notes that National Guard and Reserve personnel possess unique skill sets and operate under distinct authorities that could be utilized to meet the national cyber mission force needs. Yet, the Department of Defense has not provided the congressional defense committees a comprehensive analysis regarding the role that National Guard and Reserve forces could fulfill as cyber mission forces are established, nor a cost comparison for filling cyber mission forces with active versus Guard and Reserve forces, or a mix thereof. Therefore, the Committee directs the U.S. Cyber Command, in conjunction with the Office of the Secretary of Defense, to provide to the congressional defense committees no later than 60 days after enactment of this act, a classified and unclassified report that includes: --the current number and location of Reserve Component cyber units, as well as skill sets provided by each of these units; --the number of individual teams, their composition by number of personnel, and missions each of the services are establishing for U.S. Cyber Command; --the skill sets required to meet cyber mission team requirements; --a cost-benefit-analysis of meeting these requirements with teams comprised of solely active duty personnel, compared to teams partially or fully filled with National Guard or Reserve personnel; and --an analysis of cyber missions that are being considered for the National Guard and/or Reserves. Training of Cyber National Mission Forces.--The expansion of cyber mission forces requires extensive training of personnel to meet the needs identified by U.S. Cyber Command. Each of the services provides personnel with different skill sets and knowledge levels, and therefore generate different training requirements. Therefore, the Committee directs the U.S. Cyber Command, in conjunction with the Secretary of Defense, to provide to the congressional defense committees, no later than 90 days after enactment of this act, a classified and unclassified report that includes: --an identification and analysis of training requirements necessary to meet U.S. Cyber Command cyber mission personnel initial and full operational capability; --a roadmap of training to be provided to active duty and Guard and Reserve personnel to meet those requirements; --cost estimates by service and mission team to meet training requirements for each cyber mission team; and --an estimated timeline to complete the training required to reach full operational capability of the cyber mission teams, as proposed in the fiscal year 2014 budget. Further, the Committee notes the limitations in existing training resources to meet cyber mission force training requirements in the near-term. Therefore, the Committee recommends that the military services analyze existing training opportunities and infrastructure, taking into account existing facilities and pre-existing synergies with the Department of Defense and Intelligence Community when establishing their training programs. The Committee directs U.S. Cyber Command to provide to the congressional defense committees, no later than 90 days after enactment of this act, an analysis of U.S. Government cyber mission force training infrastructure. Army Cyber Forces Footprint.--Army cyber forces are currently dispersed throughout the continental United States, with key elements co-located with U.S. Cyber Command, and other service cyber components, which allows for significant synergies and operational efficiencies. The Committee understands that the Army is currently reviewing its cyber forces footprint. Following conversations with Army leadership, the Committee understands that these discussions are preliminary, and that no funds are included in the fiscal year 2014 budget request to modify or move the Army's cyber missions. The Committee directs the Army to brief the congressional defense committees on any proposed adjustments to the Army's cyber footprint, to include the associated training, infrastructure and sustainment costs. SHIP MODERNIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUSTAINMENT FUND With the fiscal year 2014 budget submission, the Navy again proposes to prematurely retire seven Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruisers and two amphibious dock landing ships that have a combined remaining service life of over 100 years. The Committee notes that this proposal was rejected by the Congress in the Fiscal Year 2013 National Defense Authorization Act and the Fiscal Year 2013 Department of Defense Appropriations Act; and that Congress provided significant funds to man, operate, sustain and modernize these ships. As previously expressed in Senate Report 112-196, the Committee is concerned with this proposed elimination of force structure and believes it is disconnected from the strategic shift to the Asia-Pacific, creates future unaffordable shipbuilding requirements, and exacerbates force structure shortfalls that negatively impact the Department's ability to meet Combatant Command requirements. The Committee notes that some key assumptions that led the Navy to propose prematurely retiring these ships have changed. This includes the material condition of at least one ship being superior to what the Navy assumed, as well as the scope and cost of modernization efforts required for these platforms to maintain their operational relevance for the balance of their service lives. The Committee believes that further adjustments to projected modernization efforts could be made, resulting in cost savings while retaining valuable operational capability in the near-term. Therefore, the Committee again recommends denying these proposed premature retirements and retaining this force structure in its entirety. The Committee recommends $2,422,400,000, to man, operate, sustain, upgrade and modernize only CG-63, CG-64, CG-65, CG-66, CG-68, CG-69, CG-73, LSD-41 and LSD-46 in the Ship Modernization, Operations and Sustainment Fund, as specified elsewhere in this act. Recognizing the time required to plan and execute shipyard availabilities and modernization periods, the Committee makes these funds available until September 30, 2021. However, the Committee also believes that upgrades to these ships have been delayed for too long, and therefore directs the Secretary of the Navy to upgrade at least one of the above listed Ticonderoga-class cruisers starting in fiscal year 2014. The Committee believes that this recommendation provides the fiscal relief required by the Navy to maintain this critical force structure and allows the Navy sufficient time to budget for this force structure in future budget submissions. PATRIOT MODERNIZATION The fiscal year 2014 budget request includes $70,053,000 in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army and $256,438,000 in Missile Procurement, Army for modernization of the Patriot air missile defense system. The Committee notes and continues its support for modernization of the aging Patriot system; however, the Committee remains concerned with the Army acquisition and funding strategies for this program. First, the Committee notes that while the Army recently updated its decades-old requirements document, the new requirements document is so vague that it precludes a detailed understanding of specific technologies required, development and fielding schedules, and costs of the overall effort. The Committee further notes that the current modernization spiral is slated to cost close to $2,000,000,000 over the next 5 years, with an additional $800,000,000 required thereafter. The scope and cost of additional spirals are still to be determined, but the Committee notes that the current spiral's costs are significant, and that when combined with the costs of future spirals the total modernization program would likely breach thresholds for what ordinarily would be an Acquisition Category I program. Therefore, the Committee is concerned that the Army plans to sole-source most of its modernization program and bypass full and open competition, which has repeatedly shown to reduce costs. Finally, the Committee notes that contrary to previously stated intentions from Army leaders, the Army does not have a funded plan to harvest developed technologies from programs previously terminated by the Army for use in the Patriot Modernization program, such as the Surface Launched Advanced Medium Range Air to Air Missile [SLAMRAAM], the Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System [JLENS] and the Medium Extended Air Defense System [MEADS], which were terminated after a combined investment of approximately $6,000,000,000. Therefore, the Committee does not recommend full support for the Army's request. However, recognizing the urgent need to address current capability gaps, the Committee recommends $231,916,000 for Patriot modernization, including $202,716,000 in Missile Procurement, Army for the procurement of 22 radar digital processors, an increase of 17 units over 2013. The Committee directs that not more than 50 percent of research and development funds for Patriot modernization may be obligated until 30 days after the Secretary of the Army provides to the congressional defense committees a plan that establishes an open system software architecture for future upgrades and technology refresh to the Patriot system in the near-term. Further, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Army, in conjunction with the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics, to provide with the fiscal year 2015 budget submission an acquisition strategy that incorporates full and open competition for Patriot modernization in the near-, mid-, and long-term. EXPANSION OF GENERAL AND FLAG OFFICERS The Committee supports a proposal from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff that would reduce general and flag officers along with the accompanying support services. The U.S. military is 30 percent smaller now than at the end of the Cold War, yet has 20 percent more three- and four-star officers. The Committee is concerned about the costs of general and flag officers as the size of the military forces decreases. The Committee reduces the appropriation for general and flag officer operation and maintenance and military personnel accounts by $8,000,000, and supports General Dempsey's plan to reduce the Department by 144 general and flag officers over the next 5 years. To better understand the costs of senior military officers, the Committee directs the Comptroller General to provide a report to the congressional defense committees. The report shall include all direct and support costs associated with general and flag officers to include basic pay, basic allowance for subsistence, basic allowance for housing, travel and per diem costs. The report shall also include the direct costs of all officers and enlisted aides assigned to or supporting general or flag officers; the travel and per diem costs of such aides, the annual expenditures for military housing provided to general and flag officers and executive healthcare. The Committee addresses this issue in section 8069 of this act. SUICIDE PREVENTION The Committee applauds the efforts of the Department regarding suicide prevention but shares the concern of the Secretary of Defense that more can and should be done to address this tragic situation. Therefore, the Committee adds $10,000,000 for the Office of Suicide Prevention and encourages the Department to consider funding community-based initiatives to include efforts that will assist Reserve Component Forces and their families after the transitional healthcare period has ended, as authorized by section 706 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013. SEXUAL ASSAULT The Committee remains extremely concerned with the level of sexual assault in the military. The most recent report from the Department found cases of reported sexual assaults increased 6 percent in 2012. Additionally, multiple reports have surfaced since the beginning of the year of military officials in roles designated to prevent and respond to sexual assault committing these very offenses themselves. This is simply unacceptable. The Committee supports the Department initiative to rescreen and retrain recruiters and sexual assault prevention officers but believes more needs to be done to create a culture throughout the military in which sexual assault is not tolerated. The Committee also believes that victims of sexual assault should not be subjected to further alienation during the investigation and prosecution of their case. In January 2013, the Air Force began a Special Victims' Counsel pilot program that provides victims with a trained military lawyer to provide legal assistance and support as a case makes its way through the often arduous criminal justice process. The Committee commends the Air Force on this program and sees it as a positive step in giving victims the voice and support they deserve. Therefore, the Committee recommends $25,000,000 for the Department to implement the Special Victims' Counsel program across all the services, consistent with the recommendation in S. 1197, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014, as reported. OPERATIONAL RESERVE The Committee recognizes the capability and commitment to deploy shown by the Guard and Reserve components over the past 12 years of war and applauds their transition from a strategic to an operational reserve. As the Department continues to face budgetary constraints and force structure reductions, the Committee believes the value of the Guard and Reserve must be taken into account when determining the appropriate mix between the Active and Reserve components. The Committee encourages the Department to capitalize on the investments made in the Guard and Reserve and appropriately plan and budget for the utilization of the operational reserve through U.S. Code title 10, section 12304b Selected Reserve: order to active duty for preplanned missions in support of combatant commands. COMMISSION ON MILITARY SERVICE ACADEMY SUPERINTENDENTS The Committee acknowledges that the military is undergoing a period of significant change. It is facing the end of two wars, the eligibility of women to serve in combat roles, and the repeal of Don't Ask Don't Tell. The military is also facing significant obstacles presented by high rates of suicide and sexual assaults. The Superintendents at the Military Service Academies play an important role in training future military leaders who will be critical to addressing these and other challenges. The Committee believes that identifying criteria for Service Academy Superintendent selection and evaluation should be a priority within the Department of Defense. The Committee includes a provision that would create a Commission to conduct a comprehensive analysis on the role of a modern military Service Academy Superintendent, including the criteria for selecting and evaluating the performance of a Superintendent. The Commission would be temporary and advisory. The Commission shall be made up of seven members appointed by the Secretary of Defense. In carrying out its duties, the Commission shall examine: What is the role of a Superintendent? What are the criteria for selecting a Superintendent? What are the criteria for evaluating the performance of a Superintendent? What is necessary to ensure that the military can cultivate effective Superintendents? What role does diversity play in the selection of a Superintendent? What is the ability of Superintendents to adapt and respond to the changes in the military? To what extent is the nature of the work of a Superintendent changing, and what skills are needed to adapt to an evolving leadership role? The Commission is required to produce a report not later than 6 months after the enactment of this act and shall be terminated 90 days after the issuance of this report. ENGAGEMENT ON ARCTIC ISSUES The Committee notes that the physical changes in the Arctic are unprecedented in both their rate and scope of change. In addition to the economic and social concerns, numerous studies, including the 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review and the U.S. Navy Arctic Roadmap, have documented the significant impact that a rapidly changing Arctic has on National Security, to include an increasing number of vessels expected to be operating in the Arctic Ocean in the summer and fall months. The Arctic Council has grown significantly in recent years with increased influence, visibility, and membership. As of May 2013, China, Japan, Singapore, India, The Republic of Korea and Italy have been granted observer status. In 2015, the U.S. will assume its 2-year Chair of the Arctic Council, succeeding Canada in this role. In view of the increasing significance and importance of the Arctic Council, and the United States' upcoming leadership in this body, the Committee urges the Secretary of Defense to continue to examine ways the Department can support engagement on Arctic issues, including funding for better Arctic Domain Awareness, mapping the U.S. Arctic waters, and enhanced observations and prediction of Arctic weather, ocean, and ice conditions. NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY REPORTS The Committee directs the National Security Agency [NSA] to provide to the congressional intelligence committees, and the Senate Committee on the Judiciary, and the House Committee on the Judiciary, no later than 90 days after enactment of this act: --A report, unclassified to the greatest extent possible, setting forth: --For the last 5 years, on an annual basis, the number of records acquired by NSA as part of the bulk telephone metadata program authorized by the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, pursuant to section 215 of the USA PATRIOT Act, and the number of such records that have been reviewed by NSA personnel in response to a query of such records; --To the extent possible, an estimate of the number of records of United States persons that have been acquired by NSA as part of the bulk telephone metadata program and the number of such records that have been reviewed by NSA personnel in response to a query. --A report, unclassified to the greatest extent possible, and with a classified annex if necessary, describing all NSA bulk collection activities, including when such activities began, the cost of such activities, what types of records have been collected in the past, what types of records are currently being collected, and any plans for future bulk collection. --A report, unclassified to the greatest extent possible, and with a classified annex if necessary, including a list of terrorist activities that were disrupted, in whole or in part, with the aid of information obtained through NSA's telephone metadata program and whether this information could have been promptly obtained by other means. PRESERVATION OF MILITARY HISTORY The Committee recognizes the importance of preserving military history, especially that which is related to U.S. campaigns on foreign soil. Military history and education facilities are integral to the preservation of the national history of the United States and are a direct reminder of the service and sacrifices made by members of the military services, the Coast Guard, Merchant Marines, and their families. The Committee encourages the Secretary of Defense and the Secretaries and Chiefs of each military Department to examine these national assets to ensure the Nation's continued commitment to the preservation of military history. TITLE I MILITARY PERSONNEL Funds appropriated under this title provide the resources required for basic pay, retired pay accrual, employers' contribution for Social Security taxes, basic allowance for subsistence, basic allowance for housing, special and incentive pays, permanent change of station travel, and other personnel costs for uniformed members of the Armed Forces. The President's fiscal year 2014 budget requests a total of $130,399,881,000 for military personnel appropriations. This request funds an Active component end strength of 1,361,400 and a Reserve component end strength of 833,700. SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION The Committee recommends military personnel appropriations totaling $129,133,927,000 for fiscal year 2014. This is $1,265,954,000 below the budget estimate. Committee recommended military personnel appropriations for fiscal year 2014 are summarized below: SUMMARY OF MILITARY PERSONNEL APPROPRIATIONS [In thousands of dollars] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change from Account 2014 budget Committee budget estimate recommendation estimate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Military Personnel: Military Personnel, Army.................................... 41,037,790 40,796,005 -241,785 Military Personnel, Navy.................................... 27,824,444 27,606,615 -217,829 Military Personnel, Marine Corps............................ 12,905,216 12,720,114 -185,102 Military Personnel, Air Force............................... 28,519,877 28,252,060 -267,817 Reserve Personnel: Reserve Personnel, Army..................................... 4,565,261 4,430,784 -134,477 Reserve Personnel, Navy..................................... 1,891,936 1,846,795 -45,141 Reserve Personnel, Marine Corps............................. 677,499 657,841 -19,658 Reserve Personnel, Air Force................................ 1,758,629 1,719,497 -39,132 National Guard Personnel: National Guard Personnel, Army.............................. 8,041,268 7,959,072 -82,196 National Guard Personnel, Air Force......................... 3,177,961 3,145,144 -32,817 ----------------------------------------------- Total..................................................... 130,399,881 129,133,927 -1,265,954 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Committee recommended end strengths for fiscal year 2014 are summarized below: RECOMMENDED END STRENGTH ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2013 2014 budget Committee Change from Item authorization estimate recommendation budget estimate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Active: Army................................ 552,100 520,000 520,000 ................

Reports shall be submitted not later than 30 days following the end of the second quarter and 30 days following the end of the fiscal year. Permanent Change of Station [PCS].--The Committee notes that the services expect to underexecute their PCS budgets by more than $124,000,000 in fiscal year 2013 due to lower average costs per move and fewer overall moves than budgeted. This underexecution comes on top of the $146,792,500 reduction to PCS budgets in the Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act, 2013. While the Committee awaits the report required by that bill from the Under Secretary of Defense (Personnel and Readiness) on potential efficiencies in the PCS program, it believes savings can be realized in the fiscal year 2014 PCS program and recommends a total reduction of $294,265,000 across the services' operational and rotational base budgets. The Committee supports the services' increased time on station goals and encourages them to continue working to meet these established goals. Unobligated Balances.--A Government Accountability Office analysis of past year obligation rates shows that the services continue to underexecute their military personnel accounts. Due to excess unobligated balances, the Committee recommends a total reduction of $491,239,000 from the fiscal year 2014 military personnel accounts. Enlistment of DACA Recipients.--The Committee is concerned that immigrants who have received Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals [DACA] are not authorized to enlist in the Armed Forces, which has a negative impact on military recruitment and readiness. Under 10 U.S.C. section 504, Service Secretaries can authorize the enlistment of non-citizens when it is ``vital to the national interest.'' Enlisting DACA recipients would allow the Armed Forces to access an expanded pool of recruits. To be eligible for DACA, an individual must have entered the United States as a child; graduated from secondary school, obtained a general equivalency degree, or be currently enrolled in school; and not have a serious criminal record. DACA recipients are, by definition, educated and integrated into American society, and many have shown an interest in and aptitude for military service through participation in Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps [JROTC]. The requirements to qualify for DACA are similar to those for legislation known as the DREAM [Development Relief and Education of Alien Minors] Act. In 2011, Dr. Clifford Stanley, then-Undersecretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, testified in support of the DREAM Act, noting it would allow the Department of Defense ``to expand the market of high-quality youth to the advantage of military recruitment and readiness.'' In 2010, then-Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said the DREAM Act ``will result in improved recruitment results and attendant gains in unit manning and military performance.'' Accordingly, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, no later than 90 days after enactment of this act, to provide an unclassified report to the congressional defense committees on the feasibility and impact on military recruitment and readiness of authorizing the enlistment of DACA recipients. Accession of Officers With Auditory Impairments.--The Committee directs the Department of the Air Force to study the feasibility and advisability of permitting individuals with auditory impairments, including deafness, to access as officers in the Armed Forces.

These funds are used to purchase fuel and spare parts for training operations, pay supporting civilian personnel, and purchase supplies, equipment, and service contracts for the repair of weapons and facilities. The President's fiscal year 2014 budget requests a total of $175,097,941,000 for operation and maintenance appropriations. SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION The Committee recommends operation and maintenance appropriations totaling $178,573,167,000 for fiscal year 2014. This is $3,475,226,000 above the budget estimate. Committee recommended operation and maintenance appropriations for fiscal year 2014 are summarized below: SUMMARY OF OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE APPROPRIATIONS [In thousands of dollars] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change from Account 2014 budget Committee budget estimate recommendation estimate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operation and Maintenance: Operation and Maintenance, Army............................. 35,073,077 36,938,580 +1,865,503 Operation and Maintenance, Navy............................. 39,945,237 41,613,205 +1,667,968 Operation and Maintenance, Marine Corps..................... 6,254,650 6,359,736 +105,086 Operation and Maintenance, Air Force........................ 37,270,842 37,626,333 +355,491 Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide..................... 32,997,693 32,597,068 -400,625 Operation and Maintenance, Army Reserve..................... 3,095,036 3,096,436 +1,400 Operation and Maintenance, Navy Reserve..................... 1,197,752 1,208,552 +10,800 Operation and Maintenance, Marine Corps Reserve............. 263,317 261,317 -2,000 Operation and Maintenance, Air Force Reserve................ 3,164,607 3,148,307 -16,300 Operation and Maintenance, Army National Guard.............. 7,054,196 7,082,599 +28,403 Operation and Maintenance, Air National Guard............... 6,566,004 6,505,204 -60,800 United States Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces......... 13,606 13,606 ..............

The last pay raise was in 2010. In 2013, the Department took specific action to release temporary employees, freeze hiring, and furlough most of its civilian workforce due to sequestration. The Committee recognizes the critical role that the civilian workforce plays every day in ensuring the mission success of the Armed Forces. The Committee is increasingly concerned over the impact of these challenges on the Department's ability to maintain a stable, effective, right-sized civilian cadre. Therefore, the Committee fully funds the 1 percent pay raise for civilian employees as requested. Overestimation of Civilian Workforce.--While the Committee supports a strong civilian workforce, the fiscal year 2014 budget request substantially overestimates the number of civilians that will be employed during fiscal year 2014. Through analysis directed by the Committee during the budget review, each service and defense agency identified the current estimate for civilian full time equivalents [FTE] that will be on the books in fiscal year 2013 and it is far short of what was planned for in the budget request. The results showed that the total difference between the planned fiscal year 2013 FTE level and the current estimate is approximately 11,660 FTE. That means that at the beginning of fiscal year 2014 the Department of Defense will have 11,660 fewer FTE than the planned starting number. Considering that the fully-burdened average salary of Department of Defense civilians is approximately $100,000 that could mean an overstatement of about $1,200,000,000 in the operation and maintenance accounts based on the overestimation of civilian FTE levels at the beginning of fiscal year 2014. The Committee recommendation includes an overestimation reduction. Voluntary Military Education Programs--Tracking Outcomes.-- The Committee is concerned about the lack of information available on the outcomes of students receiving Tuition Assistance and My Career Advancement Account [MyCAA] benefits. Therefore, the Committee directs the Department to submit a report tracking such outcomes of each of these programs. The report shall be submitted on or before June 1, 2014, and shall include, but not be limited to, the following data totals for calendar year 2013: an aggregate graduation rate, loan default rate, and average indebtedness. Additionally, the report shall then disaggregate the data to show these same metrics by sector: public, private for-profit, and private not-for-profit. Finally, the report shall include the percentage of servicemembers utilizing the Top-Up program for voluntary military education and the average dollar amount of usage. Additionally, the Department is encouraged to make an effort to gather data on the jobs attained after graduation, specifically whether those jobs can be reasonably said to be in the field of study identified in the students' education plans. Voluntary Military Education Programs--Education Service Officers and Third Party Audits.--The Committee recognizes the importance of voluntary military education programs to the continued education of our men and women in uniform and their spouses. In recent years, the programs have grown in popularity among servicemembers and, as such, in cost to the Federal Government. The Committee notes recent efforts to improve oversight; however, questions remain as to the effectiveness of these efforts. The Committee is concerned that the ratio of Education Service Officers [ESOs] to servicemembers is not optimized to provide the level of support required to properly advise servicemembers about educational opportunities and the financial obligations tied to them. The Committee is also concerned about the number and transparency of third party audits of schools within the Department's Tuition Assistance program. The Committee encourages the Department to further analyze the ratio of ESOs to servicemembers and the number and transparency of third party audits to make improvements during fiscal year 2014. In order to better inform future requests, the Committee directs the Government Accountability Office [GAO] to provide a report to the congressional defense committees making recommendations on the issues of ESO ratios and third party audits within 90 days of the date of enactment of this act. Within the analysis, the Committee suggests the GAO review counseling service ratios in educational support programs across the Government to measure the Department of Defense's efforts against those of similar programs. Also, the GAO shall review the current third party audits of schools within the Tuition Assistance program and provide recommendations for improvements to the audit process, if warranted, and shall provide examples of organizations with the expertise to conduct such reviews. Extremity Protection Program.--The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to fully fund the Cold Weather Protective Equipment--Extremity Protection Program in order to sustain research and development programs, acquisition requirements and to maintain a basic combat capability in protective equipment for servicemembers. Telecommunications Expense Management.--The Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2012, directed the Secretary of Defense to complete a study and assess the feasibility of using commercial off-the-shelf [COTS] telecommunication expense management solutions to improve enterprise visibility over the Department's telecommunications expenses and identify possible efficiencies in this growing technological area. Since that study was completed, the Department of Defense Chief Information Officer [CIO] promulgated guidance regarding the use of these management solutions. The Committee is concerned that the military services are not yet in compliance with the CIO's guidance. Therefore, the Committee recommends that the Secretary of Defense defer new large telecommunications contracts until the Department has begun to proactively manage telecommunications usage utilizing competitively awarded COTS expense management solutions in accordance with the CIO guidance. Combat and Camouflage Utility Uniforms.--The Committee is concerned about the high cost of and disparity in protection from separate combat and camouflage utility uniforms fielded by the military services. The Committee believes that the Secretary of Defense should take steps to end separate development and fielding of service-specific combat and camouflage utility uniforms and adopt and field the same combat and camouflage utility uniforms for use by all members of the Armed Forces to the maximum extent practicable. The issue is addressed in section 8038 of this act which is consistent with S. 1197, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014, as reported. Presidential Management Fellows Program.--The Committee is concerned about the future of the Presidential Management Fellow [PMF] Program in the Office of the Secretary of Defense [OSD]. The PMF Program serves as an important tool to grow young professionals as future leaders in OSD. In this time of budget uncertainty, it is essential that the Department capitalize on its investment in the next generation of leadership and plan to incorporate them into the workforce. The Committee directs the Department to continue to fully fund the program at the President's budget request level and offer placement of no fewer than three new PMFs into the program in fiscal year 2014. The Committee further directs that successful PMFs shall be converted into full-time permanent positions within the Office of the Secretary of Defense at the completion of the PMF program. Reserve and Guard Access to the National Military Command Center.--The Committee is concerned about the recent limitation in access for Guard and Reserve personnel assigned on long-term orders to drill in the National Military Command Center (NMCC) under Joint Staff Instruction 5241.01G. Members of the Guard and Reserve perform critical functions to the NMCC and their presence enables continued cost-effective operations. The Committee directs that Guard and Reserve personnel drilling in the NMCC shall be provided the same access as Active Duty and civilian personnel assigned to the NMCC. Advanced Trauma Training Program for National Guard and Reserve.--The Committee recognizes the valuable support universities, hospitals, and other military partners provide by offering civilian-based emergency response trauma training to sustain medics' and medical providers' capabilities of the National Guard Enhanced Response Forces Packages [CERFP], National Guard Homeland Response Forces [NGHRF], and the Army Reserve Consequence Management Response Forces [CCMRF]. The Committee encourages the National Guard and Reserve to continue pursuing state of the art trauma training with these civilian partners, thus maintaining unit medical readiness postures at optimum levels as the CERFPs, NGHRFs, and CCMRFs military healthcare providers maintain their individual skills to respond effectively to emergency incidents on the Homeland. Furthermore, in order to minimize the civilian-military operational gaps, in the event of a catastrophic incident, the Committee also encourages the development of enhanced preparedness medical training programs focusing on mass casualty triage, advanced disaster life support, advanced hazardous material life support, emergency dental, and psychological health by increasing civilian-based advanced trauma expertise gained through day-to-day experiences and medical research programs. Decontamination Lotion.--The Committee recognizes the importance of chemical warfare countermeasures that can be carried by individual service members and packaged in individual troop kits. In the event of a chemical attack, immediate access to decontamination measures will be critical to mitigate serious injuries due to exposure. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to place a high priority on current and developing decontamination agents and fully fund annual service specific requirements. New Strategic Arms Treaty.--The Committee is concerned about a possible delay in announcing New Strategic Arms Treaty force structure levels and encourages the Secretary of Defense to make those announcements prior to submission of the Fiscal Year 2015 budget request. Joint Prisoner of War/Missing in Action Accounting Command [JPAC] Efforts.--Section 1509 of the Fiscal Year 2010 National Defense Authorization Act [NDAA] directed the Department of Defense to ensure that at least 200 missing persons are accounted for under the JPAC program annually beginning in fiscal year 2015. The Committee encourages the Department to consider partnering with research universities with expertise in archeology and remains recovery to assist in becoming compliant with the NDAA mandates. Dual-Status Military Technicians.--Military technicians are civilian employees of the Department of Army or Department of the Air Force, employed by a State Adjutant General, but they are also members of the military because they are required to be drilling (part-time) military members of the National Guard. These technicians provide the day-to-day continuity in the operation and training of National Guard Units. Given their dual-status role, military technicians are required to maintain the same individual-level of readiness as their Active component counterparts and directly contribute to unit-level readiness in support of National Guard missions. As such, the Committee encourages the Department of Defense to treat military technician pay the same as their Active component counterparts when planning for employee furloughs. Stuart Creek 2 Wildfire.--The Stuart Creek 2 Fire, which has burned 85,018 acres near residential areas of Fairbanks, Alaska, began June 19, 2013, on a military training range 25 miles east of North Pole. The Army is currently investigating whether or not the fire was caused by live fire artillery on the Army's Yukon Training Range. The Committee is deeply concerned about reports that the live fire artillery exercise was permitted to occur notwithstanding the advice of the Bureau of Land Management's Alaska Fire Service and the Fort Wainwright Garrison that it be postponed due to the high potential for wildfire. Accordingly, the Committee directs the Army to review its procedures for determining when to postpone exercises due to wildfire risk in light of the outcome of its investigation into the Stuart Creek Fire, and to report to the congressional defense committees on its conclusions no later than April 15, 2014.

The near-term funding reductions will be met through a reduction in authorized end strength from approximately 570,000 Active Duty and 358,000 Army National Guard to approximately 490,000 and 350,000, respectively. The Army Reserve will forgo a planned growth of 1,000 soldiers and will remain at 205,000. Twelve BCTs will be eliminated, but the remaining BCTs will be reorganized by adding one maneuver battalion (from 2 to 3) as well as engineer and fire capabilities, to make armor and infantry BCTs more lethal, flexible, and agile. Despite the timing of the announcement, the Army claims that the budgetary implications of the restructuring decisions are included in the fiscal year 2014 President's budget submission. However, the cost of the restructuring cannot be identified in the budget justification. Therefore, the Committee directs the Army to provide a full cost analysis of its restructuring and stationing decisions to the congressional defense committees no later than 90 days after the enactment of this act. The cost analysis shall include the following data broken out by fiscal year beginning in fiscal year 2014 and for each subsequent fiscal year across the future year defense plan [FYDP]: (a) the costs and savings assumed by appropriation with line item detail, and (b) workforce implications by showing changes broken out by civilian and contractor personnel.

The Committee further directs the Navy to include the costs of the fiscal year 2015 class of apprentices in its budget request. U.S. Coast Guard.--The Committee is aware that Department of Defense [DOD] regulations currently restrict DOD mission appropriated funded activities from offering reimbursable rates to non-DOD agencies. This restriction forces the Navy to charge the U.S. Coast Guard fully burdened rates for drydocking services at Navy shipyards rather than reimbursable rates. Therefore, the Committee directs that funds appropriated under Operation and Maintenance, Navy may be used to pay overhead costs incurred by a Naval Shipyard when drydocking U.S. Coast Guard ships.

This effort has allowed those with disabilities to find sustainable employment and achieve self-sufficiency, while ultimately achieving substantial taxpayer savings. The Committee encourages the Air Force to continue this important program using eligible contractors for its scanning and digitization requirements and other appropriate work. Lajes Air Base.--The Committee supports the continued bilateral relationship the United States has with Portugal, particularly with respect to United States-NATO operations. However, given current budget constraints, the Committee recognizes the Air Force's need to consolidate its force structure and operations at Lajes Air Base on Terceira Island in the Azores. The Committee understands this reduction will also impact host country civilian positions and the local economy. The Committee encourages the Department to continue to work closely with Portuguese and Azorean officials to minimize the economic impacts to the local population and to continue to explore all possibilities for other U.S. Government uses of Lajes Air Base. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the congressional defense committees not later than 90 days after the enactment of this act on United States Air Force plans for a continued U.S. presence at Lajes Air Base; steps to be taken to mitigate adverse effects on the surrounding community; and initiatives to strengthen and enhance the strategic relationship between the U.S. and Portugal.

Budget Justification Materials.--The level of detail provided in budget justification documents is not sufficient for Special Operations Command's [SOCOM] operation and maintenance [O&M] resources. With increased requirements driving larger budget requests, the Committee needs more itemized information in order to conduct proper oversight. Therefore, the Committee directs that budget activities be established for SOCOM's O&M budget. Additionally, SOCOM is directed to submit an OP-5 Operation and Maintenance Detail exhibit and OP-32 Summary of Price and Program Changes exhibit for each budget subactivity. Finally, the Committee directs that normal prior approval reprogramming procedures be used to transfer funds between budget activities in excess of $15 million. The following table assigns the budget activity and budget subactivity structure: Budget Activity 1 includes Subactivities: Combat Development Activities Flight Operations Other Operations Ship/Boat Operations Base Support Communications Force Related Training Intelligence Maintenance Management/Operational Headquarters Operational Support Budget Activity 3 includes Subactivities: Professional Development Specialized Skill Training Budget Activity 4 includes Subactivity: Acquisition/Program Management Defense Language and National Security Education Office.-- The Committee recognizes that, in partnership with universities across the country, the Defense Language and National Security Education Office provides critical training for servicemembers and government officials in a number of languages and strategic cultures, including those of the Arab world, Afghanistan, China, and Iran. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to continue placing a high priority on these programs to ensure warfighters receive the language and culture training needed to complete their missions effectively. Military Use Airspace.--The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to continue to utilize national assets such as the Hays Military Operations Area to maintain airborne combat readiness for both manned and remotely piloted aircraft. Middle East Regional Security Studies Programs.--The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to continue to support established university programs that promote region- wide informal workshops and task forces on arms control, regional security, and related topics to the Middle East for Arab, Israeli and other officials and experts engaged in these issues. Meals Ready-To-Eat War Reserve.--The Committee is concerned that the Defense Logistics Agency's [DLA] potential reduction of its Meals Ready-to-Eat [MRE] war reserve could harm the industrial base and threaten the Department's ``Go to War'' capabilities. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Director of DLA, in conjunction with the military services and industry, to develop a comprehensive plan to address the aggregate MRE requirements for each of the military services that considers war time surge requirements and timely rotation of the MRE war reserve. Military Dependent Student Online Assistance.--The Committee understands children of Active Duty military families are faced with unique educational challenges in part because of frequent changes of station over the course of childhood. In order to meet these challenges, military parents can substantially benefit from access to Internet-based educational resources that can be brought to bear on the individualized needs of their children. The Department is encouraged to provide an assessment tool with accompanying resource material that helps parents to engage with children to develop conceptual understandings and to improve learning and skills. Wildlife Trafficking.--The proceeds of animal poaching and wildlife trafficking are known to fund armed conflict on the African continent, including by the Lord's Resistance Army and other destabilizing groups in the Great Lakes Region. The Committee supports efforts by Africa Command and Special Operations Command to assist in the mitigation of these illegal activities through their capacity-building engagements with African governments and authorities, including ``train the trainer'' exchanges and exercises. The Committee expects Africa Command and Special Operations Command to continue these engagements in areas affected by wildlife trafficking. The Committee also directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the congressional defense committees within 120 days of enactment of this act describing the planned activities to support implementation of the Executive Order establishing the Presidential Task Force on Wildlife Trafficking.

The Committee recommends an appropriation of $528,455,000. This is equal to the budget estimate. Cooperative Threat Reduction.--The Department of Defense Cooperative Threat Reduction [CTR] program has proven highly successful in its efforts to secure and dismantle weapons of mass destruction and their associated infrastructure in the former Soviet Union and former Soviet bloc countries. On June 17, 2013, the Russian Government did not renew the umbrella agreement with the United States Government. Therefore, the fiscal year 2014 program will change substantially from its original plan. The Committee recommends full funding in fiscal year 2014, but directs the Department to keep the congressional defense committees fully informed of changes to the existing program. Improving Oversight.--For many years, the Cooperative Threat Reduction program has not been able to obligate its funding in a timely manner. Furthermore, the program has significant flexibility and lacks oversight of its funding. For example, the program realigned 25 percent of the budget across different sub-accounts after enactment. This flexibility allows for quick reaction changes in spending, but the Committee has no insight as to why or when these funding changes occur. Therefore, the Committee directs the Cooperative Threat Reduction program to follow standard Department of Defense reprogramming procedures when transferring a cumulative amount of $20,000,000 or 10 percent, whichever is lesser between sub- accounts. Department of Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund Appropriations, 2013\1\................................. $50,132,000 Budget estimate, 2014................................... 256,031,000 Committee recommendation................................ 131,331,000 \1\Does not reflect the March 1, 2013, sequester of funds under Public Law 112-25. The Committee recommends an appropriation of $131,331,000. This is $124,700,000 below the budget estimate. Mandatory Transfers.--The Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund has been instrumental in increasing the quantity and quality of the Department's acquisition workforce. Since 2008, the acquisition workforce has increased by 21 percent. The Committee believes the emphasis on improving the workforce is starting to positively impact overall acquisition performance. The General Accounting Office's 2013 assessment of selected weapon programs identified a handful of positive trends: More than 60 percent of programs realized an increase in buying power; an increased percentage of programs are meeting cost performance metrics; and eight of the ten costliest programs reported cost decreases over the past year. The fiscal year 2014 budget justification for Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund states that the Department is now close to meeting its acquisition workforce hiring goals. The budget justification explains that the Department is now shifting its focus ``from rebuilding workforce capacity to sustaining levels required to perform the acquisition mission with acceptable risk and increase our focus on deliberate training and development of that workforce.'' Interestingly, the project level funding amounts in the budget justification do not correlate with this narrative. For fiscal year 2013, recruiting and hiring was estimated to be $374,000,000, while the fiscal year 2014 request is $498,700,000. With planned recruiting and hiring efforts leveling off or declining in fiscal year 2014, the budget request is overstated by $124,700,000. The Committee believes this incongruity between the Department's stated strategy and the funding request is caused by the mandatory spending amounts established in title 10 of United States Code, section 1705. In fiscal year 2014, the amounts established in title 10 require the Department make available at least 80 percent of $800,000,000 either through transfer from operation and maintenance appropriations, or through direct appropriations. Requiring the Department to spend $640,000,000 in fiscal year 2014 is excessive, especially given the fact that the fiscal year 2013 required spending amount was $400,000,000. Moreover, this Committee has encouraged the Department to fully fund its Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund request through the normal appropriations process, instead of relying on the mandated transfers that are excess to need. Over the past few years, the Committee has urged the Department to provide accurate and executable estimates of their annual spending needs. The Committee notes that these estimates have never been provided. Therefore, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to provide to the congressional defense committees within 15 days of the delivery of the fiscal year 2015 President's budget request, an estimate of Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund funding needs for fiscal year 2015 through fiscal year 2019. This estimate should represent the annual, executable funding need given the current state of the acquisition workforce. Further, the Committee urges the Secretary of Defense to fully fund the Defense Acquisition Workforce Development Fund up to this estimated amount. TITLE III PROCUREMENT Funds appropriated under this title provide the resources required to purchase military equipment and hardware, including aircraft, ships, missiles, combat vehicles, ammunition, weapons, electronic sensors and communications equipment, and other procurement items. The President's fiscal year 2014 budget requests a total of $98,153,503,000 for procurement appropriations. SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION The Committee recommends procurement appropriations totaling $98,368,753,000 for fiscal year 2014. This is $215,250,000 above the budget estimate. Committee recommended procurement appropriations for fiscal year 2014 are summarized below: SUMMARY OF PROCUREMENT APPROPRIATIONS [In thousands of dollars] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change from Account 2014 budget Committee budget estimate recommendation estimate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Procurement: Aircraft Procurement, Army.................................. 5,024,387 4,931,222 -93,165 Missile Procurement, Army................................... 1,334,083 1,277,125 -56,958 Procurement of Weapons and Tracked Combat Vehicles, Army.... 1,597,267 1,572,828 -24,439 Procurement of Ammunition, Army............................. 1,540,437 1,454,067 -86,370 Other Procurement, Army..................................... 6,465,218 6,242,899 -222,319 Aircraft Procurement, Navy.................................. 17,927,651 17,501,539 -426,112 Weapons Procurement, Navy................................... 3,122,193 3,107,400 -14,793 Procurement of Ammunition, Navy and Marine Corps............ 589,267 594,467 +5,200 Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy........................... 14,077,804 14,420,693 +342,889 Other Procurement, Navy..................................... 6,310,257 6,058,377 -251,880 Procurement, Marine Corps................................... 1,343,511 1,325,407 -18,104 Aircraft Procurement, Air Force............................. 11,398,901 10,917,270 -481,631 Missile Procurement, Air Force.............................. 5,343,286 5,178,486 -164,800 Procurement of Ammunition, Air Force........................ 759,442 759,442 ..............

These facilities are supporting a multitude of essential DOD requirements in support of the warfighter, yet these activities could be disrupted if basic infrastructure needs, such as heating and cooling, power generation, safety and environmental hazards are not addressed in the near future. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of the Army to jointly establish a multi-year recapitalization plan for the ordnance plants, including the industrial reserve, addressing these infrastructure and environmental challenges, and to include the required funds in future budget requests based on the most urgent needs identified. The ordnance facility recapitalization plan shall be submitted to the congressional defense committees not later than 90 days after enactment of this act. High Mobility Multi-Purpose Wheeled Vehicle [HMMWV].--The Committee recognizes the value the HMMWV has brought to the military, not only in contingency operations, but also in support of domestic emergency response and humanitarian assistance efforts. Furthermore, ensuring the capacity of the U.S. industrial base is a national imperative. The Committee further recognizes that the Army National Guard and the state Adjutants General strongly support HMMWV modernization and have consistently included new model HMMWVs among its funding priorities. Therefore, the Committee urges the Department to continue to invest in and procure HMMWVs as part of its enduring vehicle fleet. Organic Industrial Base of the United States.--The Committee notes that the organic industrial base of the U.S. military advances a vital national security interest by producing necessary materials, munitions, and hardware when sources outside of the U.S. military are unable to meet this urgent need as quickly as the organic industrial base, saving the lives of warfighters. The Committee believes that the capacity of the organic industrial base of the U.S. military must be maintained and discourages the Department of Defense from taking any action that would deteriorate this essential capability. Arsenal Sustainment Initiative.--The Committee supports the ongoing efforts of the Department of the Army to develop the Army Organic Industrial Base Strategy. This process is identifying manufacturing capabilities at each organic industrial facility that are critical for this country to sustain in wartime and peacetime in case the U.S. military is called to act. However, the Committee is concerned that while the Army Organic Industrial Base Strategy is identifying capabilities, it will not fund these capabilities at a level adequate to maintain them. In particular, the Nation's arsenals are at risk of not having the capacity to respond rapidly to meet the Department's needs. Due to the nature of operating under the Working Capital Fund, the slowdown in production and production capacity caused by sequestration is causing the workload rates to increase for these plants to the point where they are not able to compete for public/private partnerships and other business to help sustain capacity in peacetime. In order to ensure that this industrial base is competitive, cost- effective, and ready when called on, the Committee recommends $150,000,000 to the Army Defense Working Capital Fund for the Industrial Mobilization Capacity account to address the issue of non-competitive rates at the arsenals, which will better allow the arsenals to engage in public-private partnerships to maintain these critical capabilities. In addition, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to assign the arsenals sufficient workload to maintain the critical capabilities identified in the Army Organic Industrial Base Strategy Report and ensure cost efficiency and technical competence in peacetime, while preserving the ability to provide an effective and timely response to mobilizations, national defense contingency situations, and other emergency requirements. Further, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to release the Army Organic Industrial Base Strategy Report within 30 days of enactment of this act, and brief the congressional defense committees within 90 days of this act on its plan to ensure sufficient workload for the efficient operation of the arsenals. Army Organic Industrial Base.--The Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to provide 45-day written notification to the congressional defense committees prior to the Secretary approving a civilian reductions in force that will result in an employment loss of 50 or more full-time employees at any Army organic industrial base facility. The notification shall include the impact that the proposed reduction in force will have on the ability to maintain the organic industrial base critical manufacturing capabilities as delineated in the Army Organic Industrial Base Strategy Report, a detailed accounting of the costs of implementing the reduction in force, and an assessment of the cost of, and time necessary, to restore any lost capability to meet future organic wartime manufacturing needs. Light-Weight Ammunition.--As noted in the Senate report accompanying S. 1197, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014, a current project the Department of Defense is executing under Defense Production Act, Title III authority is developing a domestic production capability for light-weight polymer-based ammunition. The Committee agrees this effort has the potential to provide the warfighter with improved battlefield mobility and better survivability. Additionally, it has the potential to decrease logistical burdens and reduce fuel consumption in military operations. Accordingly, the Committee encourages the Department to continue this effort and provide a briefing or report to this Committee no later than February 1, 2014, on ammunition projects which could enhance warfighter capabilities and reduce logistical burdens.

The program has experienced two cost overruns on the development aircraft and has not completed the limited user testing. Therefore, the Committee recommends reducing the procurement request by $57,000,000 and two aircraft. UH-72A Lakota Light Utility Helicopter [LUH].--The budget request includes $96,227,000 to procure 10 UH-72A Lakota Helicopters. The request also proposes ending Lakota production after the fiscal year 2014 buy and truncating the total program at 315 aircraft instead of the originally planned 346. The UH- 72A Lakota program was established to replace aging UH-1 and OH-58 fleets which were already years past their directed retirement dates and to augment the UH-60 fleet which was more costly to procure and operate than a UH-72A. The Lakota program has achieved cost, schedule, and performance goals and is a more cost effective approach to performing utility missions than operating aging and more expensive helicopters; therefore, the Committee does not support program truncation short of the original requirement and provides $171,227,000 to purchase 20 UH-72A Lakota helicopters in fiscal year 2014. Kiowa Warrior Modifications.--The Army requests $184,044,000 to procure a new cockpit and other modifications. For the last couple of years, the Committee has been encouraging the Army to focus on the replacement aircraft and only modify the safety issues associated with this platform. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $75,000,000 and directs the remaining funds to only focus on the approved safety issues, the dual channel full authority digital engine control system. RQ-7 Shadow Unmanned Aerial Vehicle and OH-58 Kiowa Warrior Modification Programs.--The RQ-7 unmanned aerial vehicle modifications total procurement budget from previous years through fiscal year 2018 is over $2,069,000,000. In addition, the OH-58 Kiowa Warrior Modifications procurement budget from previous years through fiscal year 2018 is over $2,500,000,000. Given the scope and size of planned investments, these programs exceed the threshold for designation as Acquisition Category [ACAT] 1D or Major Defense Acquisition Programs [MDAPs]. Currently, both programs are classified as lower acquisition category programs, which receive less Office of the Secretary of Defense [OSD] oversight and require less justification documentation than MDAPs. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to designate the RQ-7 unmanned aerial vehicle and OH-58 Kiowa Warrior programs and all of their associated program element investments as single ACAT 1D or MDAPs as defined under chapter 144 of title 10 of United States Code. All provisions and reporting requirements of such chapter shall apply to the programs, and any upgrades, improvements or modifications to the RQ-7 or OH-58 platforms shall be reviewed within the regulatory review process established by the Secretary of Defense for MDAPs. In addition, the Committee is concerned over the unlimited modifications to existing systems which causes programs such as Armed Aerial Scout to continually get deferred until they are eventually terminated because the Army cannot afford to continually modernize existing systems at the same time they are trying to provide new capability.

Integrated Network-Tactical Most Economical Rate.--The Warfighter Integrated Network-Tactical [WIN-T] Increment 2 is currently in low-rate initial production with a full-rate production decision anticipated in September 2013. Over the past 2 years, the Committee has been critical of the Army's budgeting processes and, specifically, how the Army budgets to buy equipment based on the number of Army units to receive that particular set of equipment for a given year. While this seems like a reasonable budgeting approach, the Army's tendency to dramatically fluctuate equipment purchases year-after-year makes this strategy inefficient and unaffordable. In the case of WIN-T, the Army plans to procure a large amount of equipment over the next few years. Under the Army's current procurement strategy, quantities purchased at the individual piece of equipment level, will fluctuate year- by-year causing unnecessary price spikes. Therefore, the Committee directs the Army, working with the Office of the Secretary of Defense Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation [OSD CAPE], to perform a WIN-T business case analysis that defines the specific equipment needs over the life of the WIN-T Increment 2 program, and determines the most efficient and economical buying strategy that also meets the Army's force generation requirements. Not less than 15 days after delivery of the President's fiscal year 2015 budget request, the Army and OSD CAPE shall provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees on the outcome of the WIN-T business case analysis. High Mobility Engineer Excavator Airborne Requirement.--The Army requests $23,465,000 for 34 High Mobility Engineer Excavators [HMEEs]. Four of these HMEEs are type I which means they are C-130 and CH-47 transportable. Thirty of these HMEEs are ``airborne'' and cost nearly twice as much as the type I. The Army's budget request describes the HMEE airborne as ``air- droppable in a C-17.'' For the authority to procure the HMEE airborne, the Army uses an operational requirements document [ORD] dated August 15, 2000, which outlines low velocity airdrop as a threshold requirement for the HMEE airborne. The Committee is concerned that the Army is using a requirement document that was approved 13 years ago as justification to procure an HMEE variant at nearly twice the cost. The Committee directs the Joint Requirements Oversight Council review the ORD for the HMEE type I/II for validity given changing joint operational concepts and the current fiscal climate. Additionally, the Committee reduces the funding to procure 30 HMEE airborne and restores a portion to procure 30 additional HMEE type I. Joint Tactical Radio System [JTRS] Manpack.--The Army requests $323,730,000 for 3,123 Joint Tactical Radio System [JTRS] manpack units. The Army is currently conducting a full and open competition to award a 5-year contract to a single vendor. The JTRS manpack industrial base consists of multiple vendors, who have invested significantly in their manpack products, and are competing for this contract award. The Committee understands that the vendors who lose the 5-year JTRS manpack contract award will likely pull out of the program. When the Army tries to compete the next JTRS manpack contract award in 5 years, there will likely be only one vendor left. The future JTRS manpack program will not receive benefit from vendor investment, innovation, or price competition. Therefore, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology and Logistics to review the Army's manpack competition and contracting plans and provide, no later than 90 days after enactment of this act, to the congressional defense committees an assessment of how the objectives of increased savings and performance through competition over the life of the JTRS manpack program will be achieved.

The Committee understands that the Navy will procure these aircraft on a single-year contract versus a multi-year contract vehicle. Due to this change in contract type, the Navy budgeted for a 35-percent unit cost increase over the fiscal year 2013 unit price. The Committee believes this cost growth is excessive and recommends a reduction of $175,000,000. MQ-8 Fire Scout.--The Committee recommends $60,980,000, the requested amount, for the MQ-8 Fire Scout. The Committee notes a sharp decline in the quantity procured from the previous fiscal year which results in a substantial unit cost increase. The Navy is encouraged to pursue a more efficient production profile and an innovative acquisition strategy to reduce unit cost. If the Navy is able to negotiate a reasonable unit cost, the Committee approves a buy-to-budget procurement of more than one Fire Scout utilizing fiscal year 2014 funds. Navy Tactical Aircraft Force Structure.--The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet continues to be the Navy's premier carrier asset for force projection, and it will remain the backbone of the Navy's tactical aircraft fleet for the next 25 years. The fiscal year 2014 budget indicates the end of domestic production with the final procurement of EA-18G Growlers. The Committee is concerned with the decision to end Super Hornet production and believes a strong carrier-based fleet is vital to the increased emphasis on the Pacific region. Due to the delay in fielding the Navy variant of the Joint Strike Fighter, ending the Super Hornet production prematurely creates risk in the Navy's strike fighter force structure, and in the Nation's production capacity and a competitive industrial base. Therefore, the Committee recommends a $75,000,000 increase for advance procurement of F/A-18 aircraft and expects the Navy to procure additional aircraft in the fiscal year 2015 budget request. MH-60S and MH-60R Navy Helicopter.--The Committee is aware that the Navy has identified a number of Seahawk airframe upgrades that are currently not funded in the out-years but are critical investments as performance requirements and weight grow on the aircraft. The MH-60S and MH-60R have been in the fleet since 2001 and 2006 respectively, and are expected to remain in service as a critical battle group capability until at least 2030. Investing in their currency and relevancy is important for future operational effectiveness and success. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Navy to continue investing in improvements for these aircraft.

In January 2009, the Navy and Marine Corps determined a minimum force of 33 ships is the limit of acceptable risk in meeting a 38-ship amphibious warship force requirement. As of now, there are 28 ships in the Navy's amphibious fleet, with an average of only 22 ships operationally available at any given time due to maintenance and overhaul schedules. This level of assumed risk with amphibious lift capability by the Department of the Navy deeply concerns the Committee. Of particular concern is the impact it has on the ability of Commanders to meet operations plans and crisis response requirements, particularly as instability in the Middle East continues and as the Department of Defense rebalances its global posture towards the Asia-Pacific region. The ability to address the amphibious lift shortfall is exacerbated when the Navy funds only one amphibious class warship in the current 5-year Future Years Defense Program. This lack of commitment and funding by the Navy will not only have a negative impact on meeting future operations plans and crisis response requirements, but it will also have a negative industrial base impact and lead to additional cost growth in multiple shipbuilding programs. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Navy to provide a more responsible amphibious warship acquisition plan to Congress with the fiscal year 2015 budget submission. DDG-51 Destroyer.--The Committee understands that the DDG- 51 program has a $304,000,000 shortfall due to prior year sequestration reductions, and recommends an additional $100,000,000 for the DDG-51 to allow the Navy to award the tenth DDG-51 under the current multi-year procurement contract, as previously authorized and appropriated. The Committee understands that its fiscal year 2014 shipbuilding recommendations create an outyear asset for the Navy to apply to shortfalls. Joint High Speed Vessel.--The Committee recommends that the Navy continue to explore missions and projects that leverage the flexibility of the Joint High Speed Vessel [JHSV] and extend the mission envelope beyond in-theatre transport, including considering the addition of an unmanned aerial system and air surveillance capability to the JHSV.

While the requested funding is consistent with prior year efforts, the Committee notes that the Navy proposes to change its Destroyer modernization strategy. Instead of continuing with its original strategy of working through the inventory of oldest ships, the Navy intends to begin modernizing the newer, Flight IIA Destroyers beginning in fiscal year 2016. The intent of the modernization program is to increase the service life of the Destroyers and modernize their combat capabilities. The Committee questions this revised strategy and believes that the older Flight I and II Destroyers should continue to be the focus of the Navy's modernization program in order to ensure their operational readiness throughout their projected service lives. Therefore, the Committee recommends fully funding the modernization of DDG 60 and DDG 74 as requested, but recommends no funds for DDG 79, the first Flight IIA Destroyer proposed for modernization. Further, the Committee encourages the Navy to return to its previous Destroyer modernization strategy of older ships in future budget submissions.

The Committee approves the President's request but remains concerned about the long-term affordability of the system. In Senate Report 112-196, the Committee indicated concern with the lack of a capability development document, concurrency, and lack of approval to enter production. Since then, the Marine Corps has approved production, testing has been ongoing, and most of the concurrency has been mitigated. To ensure future affordability, the Committee encourages the Marine Corps to establish a target price curve for future production lots, continue lean manufacturing processes, and continue to identify savings in future contract awards.

While the F-35 will provide the Air Force with much greater fifth generation fighter capability for certain future threats, less capable aircraft may be effective and more cost- effective to operate and maintain in other less contentious scenarios. The Committee believes that given these times of fiscal austerity, the Department of Defense should review the Air Force tactical fighter force mix. The Committee directs the Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, in conjunction with the Air Force Chief of Staff, to deliver not later than 180 days after enactment of this act, to the congressional defense committees an analysis that outlines the appropriate total quantity of Air Force fifth generation and less capable aircraft based on the anticipated threat during the next 30 years. Air Force Missile Range Support and Security.--The fiscal year 2014 budget request includes no funds for replacement of the previously terminated Common Vertical Lift Support Platform [CVLSP], leaving the Committee concerned that the Air Force's number one priority to sustain an effective nuclear deterrent is not being sufficiently supported. As outlined by the Defense Science Board [DSB] Standing Task Force on Nuclear Weapons Surety, failures continue in fundamental areas, impacting the field forces and the replacement or upgrade of old equipment. The lack of urgency in replacing equipment following the fiscal year 2013 CVLSP termination at the request of the Air Force results in the reliance on outdated, inadequate, and obsolete 40-year-old UH-1N helicopters that cannot meet full mission requirements, and operate under waivers to support crews and logistics at the ballistic missile bases. Replacement of these aged platforms does not require a significant new technological development program, instead the UH-1N shortfalls in speed, range and endurance could be remedied through the procurement of in-service, in-production aircraft at lower cost and less acquisition risk to the Government. This alternative acquisition approach could compare favorably to the continued cost of sustaining the UH-1N, while providing significantly enhanced performance and mission capability. Therefore, the Committee believes the Department of Defense through the Air Force should leverage existing production capacity and submit a program for the replacement of UH-1N fleet in the fiscal year 2015 budget submission. C-130 Modernization.--The Committee notes the Air Force's initiatives to reduce fuel consumption across its fleet, including flight and durability tests of propulsion upgrades to the legacy C-130 fleet. In the fiscal year 2014 budget request, the Air Force requested, and the Committee approved, multiyear procurement authority for new C-130J aircraft. However, since the Air Force plans to operate over 200 legacy C-130H aircraft until the year 2040, the Committee urges the Air Force to consider upgrades to these aircraft to help achieve fuel efficiency goals, to include comprehensive propulsion upgrades.

The Committee also recognizes that greater efficiencies by the incumbent contractor have produced substantial cost savings in the program. The Committee continues to be concerned by the lack of visibility in the funding requests to support the EELV program, and again recommends that procurement funding be separated into one line for EELV launch services and a separate line for EELV launch capability and associated costs. The Committee also directs that the Secretary of the Air Force specifically identify such funds requested in fiscal year 2015 and future budgets to support the sole source block buy of EELV launch services, and such funds requested to support the competitive award of launch services among the incumbent and any qualified new entrants. Small Diameter Bomb.--Small Diameter Bomb II [SDB II] is a 250 pound class precision-guided air-to-ground munition used against both fixed and moving targets at standoff range in all weather conditions. It is a joint Air Force/Navy program with the Air Force as the lead service. A variant of SDB I, called the Laser SDB I, has capability against moving targets in clear weather. SDB II has experienced past delays with testing and its integration with the Joint Strike Fighter. A rigorous testing schedule remains including five guided test vehicle test flights and two live fire test flights before achieving milestone C and Low Rate Initial Production in fiscal year 2014. The Committee is closely monitoring SDB II and believes an overall review of the SDB program and its capability mix is appropriate, and directs the Secretary of the Air Force to brief the congressional defense committees on the status of the SDB program consistent with S. 1197, the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2014, as reported.

The Committee recommends $35,700,000 to fully fund a shortfall that the Air Force identified to the Committee for equipment to support the standup of these Squadron Operations Centers. The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to submit an execution plan for these additional funds no later than 90 days after the enactment of this act. The execution plan should include detailed plans for funding, training, manning, and equipping all six Air National Guard squadrons. Further, the Committee directs that training will begin for all six squadrons in fiscal year 2014 as previously indicated by the Air Force and expects that funding to equip the remaining squadrons will be included in the fiscal year 2015 budget request.

Therefore, the Committee increases funding for DPA by $25,000,000 over the budget request. The Committee directs that the additional funding be competitively awarded to new initiatives and priority consideration should be given to completion of DPA projects initiated in prior years. Furthermore, the Committee directs the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to inform the congressional defense committees 30 days prior to any obligation or expenditure of these funds.

Chemical and Biological Protective Shelters [CBPS].--The Committee supports the National Guard's effort to acquire critical dual use equipment. The Committee believes National Guard and Reserve Equipment [NGRE] funds should be used to acquire equipment identified on the NGRE Report for fiscal year 2014 Top 25 Equipment Modernization/Shortfall Category List, such as CBPS. The CBPS is a self-contained, mobile medical unit that is a rapidly deployable collective protection system designed to operate in the forward battle area and for domestic response. Previously, the Commission on National Guard and Reserves stated that the Secretary of Defense should ensure forces identified as rapid responders to domestic catastrophes are ``manned, trained, and equipped to the highest levels of readiness.'' The CBPS has been identified as a critical shortfall item for the past 5 years and is essential to the National Guard in support of both its national security and homeland missions. Recent events and natural disasters highlighted the need for a protected, mobile medical capability. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Department to use a portion of this funding to continue the procurement of CBPS. Intent of the National Guard and Reserve Equipment Account [NGREA].--Congress established the National Guard and Reserve Equipment Account [NGREA] in 1981 to provide the equipment necessary to maintain the readiness of National Guard and Reserve components. The Committee recognizes that the Active components do not procure all of the required equipment necessary to resource their reserve components, especially in a time of fiscal constraint. NGREA funding is intended to supplement the services' base procurement appropriations, not substitute for it. The Active components are still expected and required to fund and equip their respective Guard and Reserve components to ensure reserve units are at a high level of readiness should they need to be deployed. Consistent with the total force concept, the Active components serve as the procurement contracting authority in support of the Guard and Reserve components. Congress expects the Chiefs of the National Guard and Reserve components to enhance readiness by procuring items that the services' base appropriations do not fund. As already established in law, NGREA funds have and should continue to be used to procure new aircraft; major weapon systems that are already established as a stable procurement program; equipment support items; and modifications to rebuild, overhaul, or refurbish existing items without expanding on the platform capability currently supported by the Active components. NGREA provides the needed flexibility to the Guard and Reserve Chiefs to procure priority readiness items subject only to the authority, direction, and control of the Secretary of Defense. The Committee expects that the Guard and Reserve Chiefs will continue to execute their portion of NGREA as Congress has historically directed within the bill, and outlined within the annual law pertaining to the NGRE account, without prejudice to size or function of the Reserve unit benefitting from this account. Total Force.--The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2013 established the National Commission on the Structure of the Air Force to determine whether and how the structure should be modified to best fulfill current and anticipated mission requirements for the Air Force in a manner consistent with available resources. As Congress awaits the recommendations of the Commission, the Committee notes the likelihood that the fleets of the Active, Guard, and Reserve components will diverge in the coming years. As aircraft and other equipment are increasingly operated solely by the Guard and Reserve, the Committee directs the Active component to continue to resource and invest in the necessary maintenance and upgrades of these aircraft and equipment, to include program management administration and research, development, test, and evaluation efforts required to integrate items procured using National Guard and Reserve Equipment funding. TITLE IV RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION Funds appropriated under this title provide the resources required to conduct a program of research, development, test and evaluation, including research in basic science, applied research, advanced technology development, demonstration and validation, engineering and manufacturing development, and operational systems development. The President's fiscal year 2014 budget requests a total of $67,520,236,000 for research, development, test and evaluation appropriations. SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION The Committee recommends research, development, test and evaluation appropriations totaling $65,806,815,000 for fiscal year 2014. This is $1,713,421,000 below the budget estimate. Committee recommended research, development, test and evaluation appropriations for fiscal year 2014 are summarized below: SUMMARY OF RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION APPROPRIATIONS [In thousands of dollars] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change from Account 2014 budget Committee budget estimate recommendation estimate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Research, Development, Test and Evaluation: Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army............ 7,989,102 7,576,342 -412,760 Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy............ 15,974,780 15,403,145 -571,635 Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force....... 25,702,946 24,945,541 -757,405 Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide.... 17,667,108 17,695,487 +28,379 Operational Test and Evaluation, Defense.................... 186,300 186,300 .............. ----------------------------------------------- Total..................................................... 67,520,236 65,806,815 -1,713,421 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION OVERVIEW Alternative Energy Research.--The Committee continues to believe in the fiscal and operational value of investing in alternative energy research, and recommends an additional $75,000,000 for Army, Navy and Air Force research and development to continue research of promising alternative energy technologies, such as renewable energies, alternative fuels, and energy efficiencies. The Committee encourages the services to examine opportunities to use the arbitrage of affordable natural gas to enhance their energy usage efficiency. Additional research is needed to improve the efficiency and durability of technologies for advanced natural gas engine and vehicle technologies, fuel storage, and fueling infrastructure. Therefore, the Committee encourages the military services to invest in natural gas vehicle and fueling infrastructure research, development, and technology demonstrations to address these areas. Technology Transfer.--The Committee recognizes the importance of transitioning technology between the Federal Government and non-Federal organizations, academia, the nonprofit sector, and State and local governments. Technology transfer ensures that taxpayer investments in research and development are used to benefit the economy and the general public, along with promoting commercialization for small businesses. Further, in fulfilling its responsibility to ensure the full use of the results of the Nation's Federal investment in research and development, the Committee encourages the Department of Defense to place an increased focus on technology transfer programs, which includes allocation of funds, and the streamlining of programs and performance metrics for Federal laboratories. Small Business Innovative Research.--The Committee recognizes the importance of the Small Business Innovative Research [SBIR] program and its success in commercialization from federally funded research and development projects. The SBIR program creates jobs and encourages domestic small businesses to engage in Federal research and development. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to place an increased focus on considering SBIR awards to firms that employ fewer than 50 people. Solar Research in Dry-Dust Areas.--The Committee supports efforts by the Department of Defense to become more energy efficient. These efforts have demonstrated cost savings and are an important part of the 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review and the Department of Defense's Operational Energy Strategy. Renewable energy, including solar, is an important part of these efforts. Fort Bliss recently launched the largest renewable energy project in the military's history--featuring a 20 megawatt solar farm--with the goal of Net Zero emissions on base. The Committee believes solar initiatives are also important for overseas operations, particularly in the Middle East and Africa, where large amounts of energy often need to be transported to theater and in-country supplies are unreliable. However, dry-dust problems can prevent the optimal use of solar energy in some areas. Therefore, the Committee urges the Department of Defense to make research into the use of solar energy in dry-dust regions a priority in fiscal year 2014. FAA UAS Test Ranges.--The Committee supports the Federal Aviation Administration's ongoing program to establish test sites for civilian unmanned aircraft systems [UAS]. The Committee understands that Department of Defense test ranges are currently operating at capacity due to overwhelming demand for UAS testing and because of continued growth in the UAS industry. Because civilian test sites are limited, DOD sites are serving both defense and civilian industry needs. The FAA's program will serve to bolster testing capacity across the industry and support this important and growing defense capability. National Network for Manufacturing Innovation.--The Committee supports the administration's initiative to create three new manufacturing institutes including two Department of Defense-led institutes--a digital manufacturing and design institute and a lightweight and modern metals manufacturing institute. The two Department of Defense-led institutes, part of the administration's larger National Network for Manufacturing Innovation, will address the life cycle of digital data across systems and accelerate the introduction and use of more affordable products made with high strength-to- weight alloys that improve performance and reduce energy consumption. The institutes will increase domestic manufacturing competitiveness and efficiency that is necessary for our national defense by bringing together our Nation's research and development, education, and training activities for a skilled workforce and the deployment of technological innovations in domestic production of goods.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Warfighter Information Network-Tactical [WIN-T] Increment III.--The fiscal year 2014 budget request includes $271,284,000 for WIN-T Increment III, an increase of $92,652,000 over amounts appropriated for fiscal year 2013, and an increase of $195,032,000 over amounts previously programmed for fiscal year 2014. In the fiscal year 2014 budget submission, the Army has also programmed an additional $249,608,000 over amounts previously programmed for fiscal year 2015. The Committee questions the fiscal soundness of adding close to $450,000,000 to this program in the next 2 fiscal years. The Committee notes that a follow-on development contract award scheduled for earlier this year has been delayed and that the program's acquisition program baseline is expected to be revised later this year. Therefore, the Committee finds this increase in resources premature and recommends continuing the program at fiscal year 2013 levels. Army Network Integrated Evaluation [NIE].--The fiscal year 2014 budget request includes $193,748,000 for two Network Integrated Evaluations [NIE], which are semi-annual assessments and formal test events of network technologies in the context of a military exercise. The Committee notes that to date, the Army has conducted five such events, which include formal development and operational tests of programs of record, as well as informal evaluations of Government- or contractor- provided systems in response to Army-identified capability gaps. As confirmed in a Government Accountability Office August 2013 report assessing the NIE, the Committee is not aware of significant successful technology transitions of the over 100 systems evaluated at the NIE to date, despite additional funds having been provided by Congress specifically for that purpose. The Committee further notes that the Army has not been able to execute previously appropriated funding for the NIE and has reprogrammed or carried-over over 90 percent of total fiscal year 2012 and fiscal year 2013 funding. Given the fiscal constraints the Army is facing, the Committee questions the return on investment for NIE in its current form. Therefore, the Committee recommends reducing the scope of the NIE, allowing the Army and vendors to prioritize their investments to support Army requirements. Ground Combat Vehicle [GCV].--The fiscal year 2014 budget request includes $592,201,000 for the Ground Combat Vehicle. The program was restructured earlier this year using previously appropriated funds. As part of the program's restructure, the Army awarded two undefinitized contract actions [UCAs] in April 2013, which it plans to definitize by December 2013. The Committee notes the historically measurable cost growth of UCAs on development programs, as restated in the Department's 2013 annual report on the performance of the Department of Defense acquisition system. The Army has budgeted over $140,000,000 for these contracts in fiscal year 2014, which due to the fiscal year 2013 funds already applied to the UCAs is excess to stated requirements. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $99,000,000 to the budget request for undefinitized contract actions. In addition, the Army is planning to spend over $470,000,000 over the next 3 fiscal years for the fabrication of 12 GCV prototypes. While the Committee recognizes the value of certain prototype activities during the development phase of the program, the acquisition strategy and funding profile would expend close to $40,000,000 per individual prototype vehicle. Therefore, the Committee denies the $70,000,000 requested for prototypes in fiscal year 2014. The Committee notes that none of these adjustments affect the Government program office, nor do they impede the Army's ability to award the GCV engineering and manufacturing development contract in September 2014, as planned. Improved Military Tactical Batteries.--The Committee continues to be concerned with the high operational and maintenance costs, and performance issues related to the short life of standard military vehicle batteries. The Committee encourages the Army to continue efforts designed to capture cost savings and performance improvements through storage and operation of military vehicle batteries. Prototype Integration Facility.--The Army prototype integration facility [PIF] remains a key, award-winning enterprise asset. The Committee notes that since 2002, the PIF has executed in excess of $3,100,000,000 in rapid response, quick reaction, and high-priority weapons system hardware and services support to the warfighter. The PIF does not receive mission or program budget funds and relies on customer funding to execute specific weapon system program requirements. The Committee encourages the Army to continue to support upgrades to the PIF and to maintain the fast-response capability of the PIF so that this unique and valuable asset will be available to the warfighter to address current and future needs. Engineering Systems Integration Labs.--The Committee is aware of new technologies for the development and evaluation of new weapon systems that can reduce costs and serve as an effective platform for integrating advanced technology into a weapon system. The use of Engineering Systems Integration Labs [ESILs] has already proven valuable where they have been utilized. The Committee urges the Army, in conjunction with industry, to implement ESILs for all major weapon systems, including legacy systems modernization programs. Cybersecurity of Space Assets.--The Committee understands it is an Army priority to augment its capability for cybersecurity research on net-centric embedded weapon systems and to research and evaluate technologies for space-based and cyberspace applications for Army tactical ground forces. The Army's strategic forces mission requirements include maintaining Army force modernization in space. The Committee encourages the Army to apply the appropriate resources to ensure cyberspace technologies research for the security of space assets, which in turn ensures our warfighters can receive critical information in a battlefield environment. Leveraging existing personnel and recently acquired technology development management programs can provide services such as mitigation strategies to agencies that develop, acquire, and maintain space and net-centric weapons assets, to include the Missile Defense Agency. Warfighter Helmets.--The high prevalence of warfighters returning from theater with short- and long-term brain injury is indicative of Traumatic Brain Injury [TBI], and is a major concern to the Committee. The Committee is aware of the physical, emotional, psychological, social, and financial cost associated with these type injuries. Therefore, the Committee urges the Army Research Laboratory, in partnership with public universities across the country, to leverage commercially available technology for improved soldier-worn equipment, particularly, pneumatic cushioning systems in military combat helmets, to protect the health and safety of the warfighter. Wireless Medical Technology.--The Committee supports initiatives to improve casualty care of personnel through the development of wireless medical monitoring systems with enhanced data collection capabilities out to the point of wounding. The Committee encourages the Army to utilize these wireless medical technologies in demonstrations, operational evaluations, and deployments in order to provide greater patient care.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ Next Generation Jammer.--Senate Report 112-196 directed the Government Accountability Office to conduct a review of the program to determine if there are redundancies across the services and assess whether this effort should become a joint service solution. The report is almost complete, and based on the current recommendation, the Committee recommends the JROC validate the requirements for this capability and determine which DOD aircraft should carry this jammer. In addition, the current acquisition strategy selects one contractor for the program's Technology Development phase. The Committee is concerned that this approach is inconsistent with some of the basic tenets of the Weapon System Acquisition Reform Act of 2009, including those that encourage competition throughout the acquisition life cycle, and directs the Navy to maintain competition through the Next Generation Jammer program's technology development phase. In addition, the Navy should ensure that it acquires the necessary technical data rights and allows for the type of open systems architecture approach that would facilitate continued competition for the remainder of the Next Generation Jammer acquisition program. Navy Unmanned Combat Air System.--The Committee commends the Navy on the historic launch and arrested landing of the X- 47B unmanned combat air system [UCAS] onboard an aircraft carrier, which demonstrated an autonomous unmanned aircraft can be safely integrated into Navy carrier operations. The Navy plans to retire the aircraft at the end of the fiscal year, after investing more than $1,500,000,000 in technology development. However, the Committee is concerned that the Navy plans to retire the aircraft prior to completing additional risk reduction testing. Therefore, prior to retiring the aircraft, the Committee directs the Navy to evaluate if the Navy UCAS-D program can be used for additional risk reduction activities to minimize ship integration challenges for the future UCLASS program. Advanced Hawkeye.--The fiscal year 2014 request includes $152,041,000 for new technology development. A majority of the request is to develop an in-flight refueling capability and future, undefined capabilities. The contract award for the in- flight refueling capability schedule was delayed by 6 months, and the future development effort lacks clear requirements and definition. As a result, the Committee recommends a reduction of $28,000,000. Air and Missile Defense Radar.--The fiscal year 2014 request includes $275,871,000 to continue the engineering and manufacturing development phase. The Navy originally planned to award the contract and down select to a single manufacturer in November 2012 which was subsequently delayed to July 2013. As a result of the delay, a majority of the fiscal year 2013 funding will be awarded later than planned. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $87,000,000. Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare Weapon Development.--The budget request includes $135,985,000 to begin development of a new Navy anti-ship weapon. Over the last year, the Navy has made several adjustments to the long range plan for this program. As a result of the uncertainty, and until the Navy has determined the exact requirements for this program, the Committee recommends a reduction of $30,000,000. Virginia Payload Module.--The Fiscal Year 2013 Defense Appropriations Act reduced the fiscal year 2013 budget request for the Virginia Payload Module by $90,000,000. The Committees was concerned with increasing the Virginia-class submarine size by a third to accommodate a 93.7 foot module in the submarine's center. The Committee believes that the module's requirements are not defined, and will result in instability to a proven submarine design, disrupt a stable production line, and add significant cost risk which is not affordable in these difficult fiscal times. Initial cost estimates for development alone were $800,000,000. Since then, the Navy has completed the requirements validation, but the Joint Requirements Oversight Committee validation is still incomplete. The Committee recommends no funding for the Virginia Payload Module in fiscal year 2014. LHA 8 Amphibious Assault Ship.--The fiscal year 2014 budget request includes $19,967,000 for LHA 8 amphibious assault ship preliminary design efforts. The Committee is aware that the Department of the Navy plans to reintroduce a well deck and optimize the aviation capability of LHA 8, which is planned for initial procurement funding in fiscal year 2015. As described in the Senate report accompanying S. 1197, the National Defense Act for Fiscal Year 2014, as reported, previous Navy efforts to start ship construction prior to completing a ship's design inevitably led to cost growth and schedule delays. Considering growing fiscal pressure on the national defense budget and increasing amphibious assault ship demands from combatant commanders for contingency operations, theater security cooperation, humanitarian assistance, and conventional deterrence missions, the Committee believes it is essential that LHA 8 be introduced in the most cost-effective manner. Therefore, the Committee includes an additional $50,000,000 for LHA 8 advance planning and design and directs the Department of the Navy to work with industry to identify affordability and producibility strategies that will lead to more efficient construction of a large deck amphibious assault ship. Ship Self Defense [SEWIP Block III].--The fiscal year 2014 request includes $164,799,000 to develop advanced technology for the AN/SLQ-32 radar. The Block III acquisition strategy for developing this new capability has shifted from beginning in early fiscal year 2013 to mid-fiscal year 2014. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $50,000,000. Multi-Mission Maritime Aircraft.--The Navy requested $317,358,000 to continue ``basic'' development, as well as develop two separate software and hardware upgrades. Senate Report 112-196 directed the Joint Requirements Oversight Counsel [JROC] to validate the additional capabilities, which is still incomplete. In addition to the requested modernization efforts, the program has identified numerous corrections of deficiencies in the existing system. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $77,000,000 to the second increment of development due to undefined requirements and significant concurrency with ongoing development efforts. The Committee also directs the JROC to validate the additional capabilities and the Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation office to conduct a business case analysis to determine whether this 6- year development effort is affordable and provide the assessment to the congressional defense committees. Carrier Onboard Delivery [COD] Follow On.--The budget request includes $2,460,000 to conduct an analysis of alternatives for the program that will follow the COD. In an effort to ensure the program has an affordable acquisition strategy, the Committee directs the Navy to provide the acquisition strategy to the congressional defense committees prior to beginning the technology development phase. F-18 Engine Upgrades.--The Committee understands that in order to enable the future capabilities envisioned in the F/A- 18 and EA-18G aircraft growth roadmap or ``flight plan,'' the Navy is considering the development of an F-414 engine upgrade. The enhanced durability engine is a modular upgrade that will provide options for additional power for future capabilities which should make the engine more affordable and maintainable. The Committee encourages the Navy to begin development of the engine upgrade to support the capabilities envisioned in the EA-18G and F/A-18E/F flight plans. Marine Personnel Carrier [MPC].--The fiscal year 2014 request includes $20,875,000 to begin developing a survivable and mobile platform to transport Marines when ashore. However, the Marine Corps has subsequently decided to cancel this effort due to affordability challenges. Consistent with S. 1197, the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2014, as reported, the Committee recommends reducing the budget request by $20,875,000. RQ-4 Triton UAV.--The fiscal year 2014 budget request includes $375,235,000 to continue development of the RQ-4 Triton UAV program. Since last year, the program has experienced a 2-year delay in development and added $312,000,000 across fiscal year 2014 and 2015. The Committee is concerned with this cost growth and similarities experienced in the Air Force Global Hawk program. As a result, the Committee directs the Government Accountability Office to do a thorough review of the remaining tasks associated with completing development, to determine if the risks are being repeated across the two aircraft, and to provide a report to the defense committees within 120 days after enactment of this act. Defense Research Sciences.--The Committee encourages the Department to continue to invest in advanced science and technology research. Examples of research include high temperature-resistant and other high performance materials, advanced structural systems for next generation aircraft, and other aerospace weapon systems. In addition, the Committee encourages the Department to invest in functional polymeric silicon materials for advanced energy storage, photovoltaic, and electronic applications. Power Generation and Storage.--The Committee encourages the Department to continue development in power generation and energy storage research, especially to improve the safety of advanced batteries. The Committee notes that development and deployment of Li-ion batteries with up to three times the performance capability of other battery products are critical to current and future DOD missions, but safety incidents have hindered or even halted their widespread operational adoption. As such, development and qualification of technologies to reduce the risk of thermal runaway in Li-ion batteries should be a priority for energy storage research. Arctic Deep Water Basing.--The Committee commends the Department's efforts to investigate potential security and resource issues related to the opening of Arctic sea-routes. The Committee encourages the Department to continue researching a range of solutions and response, including Arctic forward basing proposals. The Committee requests the Department to provide a report to the congressional defense committees on current and future programs related to Arctic security solutions and provide an analysis of procurement and costs related to both fixed and mobile Arctic basing options. Flight Deck Cleaning.--The Committee is concerned with the lack of efficiency, high-cost and environmental consequences of the current method of cleaning flight decks on Navy ships. Modern technology may provide opportunities for improving the current process by reducing required manpower, decreasing clean-time and mitigating environmental impacts thereby improving operational readiness. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Navy to continue to invest in more efficient and effective methods for cleaning Navy flight decks.

2013, provided $105,000,000 for continuation of the Operationally Responsive Space program, in accordance with the Fiscal Year 2013 National Defense Authorization Act [NDAA]. The Air Force proposed to acquire a low-cost weather satellite, which would leverage prior investments in bus and sensor programs, which the Committee supported. However, this plan has not been approved by the Department of Defense despite the identification of a key requirements gap in weather data collection. The failure to provide a path forward for the Operationally Responsive Space program stands in stark contrast to the congressional rejection of the fiscal year 2013 proposal to terminate the program. The Committee finds that the Operationally Responsive Space program is an important pathfinder to fielding future satellite capabilities at an affordable cost. The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide the congressional defense committees with a report describing the plans for executing the available funding consistent with the mandates of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2013 and the Fiscal Year 2013 NDAA within 30 days after enactment of this act. Family of Advanced Beyond-Line-of-Sight Terminals [FAB- T].--The Air Force has adopted a competitive acquisition strategy for the final development and procurement of FAB-T systems. The key event in this acquisition will be a source selection between two terminal solutions in early fiscal year 2014. The Committee supports competitive acquisition strategies to provide best value to the Government and has supported the necessary funds for development of both FAB-T systems. However, the Committee is concerned that there is not adequate visibility on several aspects of the acquisition strategy, including requirements definition and the basis for evaluation of two technologies at different states of maturity. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $45,000,000 from Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force, and $45,000,000 from Other Procurement, Air Force. Combat Rescue Helicopter.--For fiscal year 2014, the Air Force requests $393,558,000 to begin the engineering, manufacturing, and development phase of the combat rescue helicopter. The Committee recommends $201,558,000, a reduction of $192,000,000, due to a delay in contract award. The Committee fully supports this mission but believes replacement of the existing HH-60G fleet can be accomplished in a less costly manner. Of the amount the Air Force requests in fiscal year 2014, $245,000,000 is budgeted to buy two commercially available helicopters, as well as procuring and integrating the mission equipment. The Committee strongly believes that paying $122,500,000 for an in-production helicopter, even with integrated mission equipment, is excessive. Further, the Air Force plans to spend nearly $1,400,000,000 for development and test of nine helicopters followed by a procurement program that currently shows an average procurement unit cost of $81,000,000 per helicopter. In the current fiscal environment, the Department should be seeking innovative ways to recapitalize the HH-60 fleet with platforms having affordable unit costs. In the fiscal year 2011 Senate appropriations report 111- 295, this Committee zeroed out funding for the HH-60 Recapitalization program and expressed concern that the Air Force's plan could produce results similar to the wasted $200,000,000 spent on the Combat Search and Rescue-X program. The Committee is concerned that the Air Force may be heading down the same path and wants to fully understand the cost of all mission and acquisition alternatives. Therefore, the Committee directs the Office of the Secretary of Defense, Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation to provide, not later than 90 days after enactment of this act, a briefing to the congressional defense committees on a business case analysis of the combat rescue helicopter. This analysis shall examine the cost of all mission alternatives in addition to alternative acquisition strategies to include utilizing existing contract vehicles and post production modifications. Logistics Information Technology.--The Air Force requests $95,238,000 to remediate and modernize legacy logistics information technology systems to meet the 2017 auditability mandate as well as pursue transformational initiatives that will eventually replace the legacy systems. The Committee fully supports the Air Force's efforts to remediate and modernize legacy systems to meet the 2017 mandate--but questions the timing of pursuing transformational initiatives. After spending $1,030,000,000 over several years to replace the legacy logistics systems with the expeditionary combat support system [ECSS], the Air Force terminated ECSS because an additional $1,100,000,000 was needed to field 25 percent of the original ECSS capability. As a potential root cause of the failure to deliver ECSS, the Air Force sites ``lack of enterprise resource planning [ERP] program management skills within government.'' Given this assessment, the Committee believes the Air Force should focus their skilled program managers on projects that help the Air Force achieve auditability in 2017 rather than on efforts that deliver much later. Therefore, the Committee denies the request to begin transformational initiatives and reduces logistics information technology by $34,760,000. High Capacity Optical Wireless Communications for Remotely Piloted Vehicles.--The Committee supports Air Force development of secure, high-bandwidth communications technologies for assured communications networks and covertness in tactical environments, including free-space optical technology. Recognizing the military's increasing reliance on tactical and intelligence data from remotely piloted air vehicles, and that transmission capacity is already limited by radio frequency spectrum and bandwidth, the Air Force is encouraged to continue development and demonstration of next generation free-space optical communications for remotely piloted air vehicles. Engine Sensor Technology Research.--The Committee is aware that ongoing research regarding dynamic engine sensors for military aircraft may increase safety and decrease operation and sustainment costs if the technology is fully matured. The Committee encourages the Department to continue to support innovative research on engine sensor technology with the goal of improving performance, safety, and fuel efficiency. Ground Based Radar Technologies.--The Committee understands that the Air Force, Marine Corps, and the Army are each considering the procurement of new ground radar solutions. The Committee applauds the Marine Corps for pursuing a flexible, multi-mission radar. Given the fiscally constrained budgetary environment, the Committee encourages the Department of Defense to carefully examine the services' ground-based radar acquisition strategies to ensure procurement of the most affordable and most efficient solution that meets the warfighter requirements. The Committee believes the Department should consider leveraging available technology and focus on efficiency and affordability to potentially lower lifecycle costs, accelerate deployment schedules, and reduce programmatic risk. Human Optimization of Autonomous Systems.--Unmanned Aerial Systems have rapidly advanced to become invaluable to national defense. The Committee praises the Air Force for its forward leaning approach to evolving this technology as requirements change and the threat adapts. Autonomous systems, the next stage in that evolution, will demand testing and evaluation systems and procedures that are developed solely for their unique requirements. The Committee encourages the Air Force to invest in the development of test and evaluation capabilities for autonomy based systems. Sensors Research by Air Force Minority Leaders Program.-- The Committee encourages the Air Force Research Laboratory to carry out sensors research activities conducted by the Air Force Minority Leaders Program for research in the disciplines of materials and processing, sensors, and related enabling academic specialties, and to meet critical defense capabilities, science and technology, future workforce, and technical program objectives for the Air Force. Aerospace Propulsion.--The Committee is aware that ongoing research regarding dynamic engine sensors for military aircraft may increase safety and decrease operation and sustainment costs if the technology is fully matured. The Committee encourages the Department to continue to support innovative research on engine sensor technology with the goal of improving performance, safety, and fuel efficiency. MQ-1 and MQ-9 Sense and Avoid Capability Development.--The Committee recommendation includes $115,828,000 for enhancements to the MQ-9 Reaper remotely piloted aircraft [RPA]. Of the amount provided, no funds were requested by the Air Force for development of a sense and avoid capability. The Committee notes that the Air Force intends to base a portion of the overall fleet of MQ-1 and MQ-9 RPAs in the United States in the future, and that the scope of operations of any such aircraft would substantially depend on domestic rules currently under development by the Federal Aviation Administration. Specifically, absent any sense and avoid capability, the MQ-1 and MQ-9 aircraft could be largely restricted to restricted military airspace, which would greatly limit their potential use in support of domestic authorities in the event of a natural disaster or other domestic emergency. As a result, the Committee encourages the Air Force to examine options for a sense and avoid capability for MQ-1 and MQ-9 RPAs, and to include a sense and avoid development effort in future year budget requests.

.............. .............. -33,500 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Conventional Prompt Global Strike.--The fiscal year 2014 budget request includes $65,440,000 to continue the Prompt Global Strike [PGS] program, a decrease from $200,383,000 appropriated in fiscal year 2013. The Committee continues to support development of a PGS capability but recognizes the challenges associated with hypersonic flight. For example, after two failed flight tests, the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency determined that critical technologies associated with hypersonic test vehicle-2 were not mature enough to proceed to more advanced flight testing. However, the Committee notes the Army conducted a successful flight test of the advanced hypersonic weapon [AHW] on November, 17, 2011. Considering recent test outcomes and the growing possibility of near term threats, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to follow through on the stated intent of additional fiscal year 2013 funding provided for continued planning and completion of a second, longer range AHW flight test. Also considering the fiscal constraints under which the Department is operating, the Committee directs the Secretary to avoid commitments that will cause funds to be used for design or development efforts intended to support a significant departure from HTV-2 or the Army's AHW payload delivery vehicle designs. Under Vehicle Scanning Technologies.--The Committee believes that improving under vehicle scanning technologies to mitigate threats and improve access to military installations should be a priority. The Committee recommends that the Department of Defense develop and test systems for automated under vehicle scanning to improve entry security. Corrosion Resistance and Non-Skid Compliance.--The Committee recommends that the Department of Defense Corrosion Program advance Navy fuel and ballast tank corrosion monitoring and non-skid coating compliance efforts throughout the Department of Defense's maintenance community. Assured Microelectronics.--The Committee understands that the Department of Defense issued an instruction which mandates assurance measures for all information and weapons systems that are national security systems, mission assurance category one, or are otherwise critical military and intelligence systems. The Committee directs the Department to deliver a report within 180 days of the enactment of this act on the progress implementing this assured microelectronics policy. Lightweight Vehicle Protection.--As the Department becomes more environmentally friendly, hybrid and electronically powered vehicles with reduced weight allowances may require tradeoffs in protection, payload and performance that could place troops at risk. The Committee recommends that the Department of Defense develop lighter weight protection systems optimized for such vehicles. Open Access to Federal Research.--The Committee is concerned that despite significant Federal investments in scientific research, public access to the published results are limited. Improved access to cutting edge research will help individuals and commercial enterprises more rapidly translate research results into new products and services. To that end, the Committee encourages the Department of Defense to continue its actions to execute the Federal research public access policy recommendations as outlined by the Office of Science and Technology Policy in an effort to increase public access to published scientific research. Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program [CTEIP] Range Upgrades.--The Committee is concerned with the condition of the high speed test tracks at military test ranges. These tracks provide significant missile and missile component validation which can at times eliminate costly tests using air launched vehicles. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Department of Defense, through the Central Test and Evaluation Investment Program, to develop ground test range upgrades that provide low vibration Mach 3 speeds for testing of advanced missiles and their components, launch vehicles, or other space systems. MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY Ballistic Missile Defense Technology.--The fiscal year 2014 budget request includes $309,203,000 for ballistic missile defense technology research, an increase of $233,228,000, or 307 percent, over amounts appropriated in fiscal year 2013. The Missile Defense Agency plans to execute these funds for six distinct projects, each containing multiple subprojects. However, the requested budget increase is not sustained in future years. Therefore, to ensure appropriate oversight among the many projects MDA plans to pursue, and to improve the financial management of technology research funds, the Committee transfers funds requested in fiscal year 2014 to six separate project elements, consistent with MDA's budget justification. Acquisition Accountability in Development Programs.--The fiscal year 2014 budget request includes $937,056,000 to continue the development of multiple spirals of Aegis ballistic missile defense [BMD] capabilities. While the Committee notes the repeated success of the Aegis weapons system, the budget request includes roughly $500,000,000 for the concurrent development of Aegis BMD 4.0, Aegis BMD 5.0, and Aegis BMD 5.1. Since 2007, MDA has obligated over $450,000,000 for development of Aegis BMD 5.1, and the budget request for Aegis BMD 5.1 in fiscal year 2014 is $239,000,000. Despite the significant investment made to date in Aegis BMD 5.1 and the funding increase requested in fiscal year 2014, MDA has not completed an acquisition program baseline for Aegis BMD 5.1. Further, the Government Accountability Office in its April 2013 report identified unstable baselines as well as cost growth in the Aegis program. Therefore, the Committee does not fully support the increase sought for Aegis BMD 5.1, and recommends a reduction of $27,000,000. In addition, the fiscal year 2014 budget request includes $418,355,000 for continued development of BMD command and control, battle management and communications [C2BMC]. The Committee fully supports the continued development of C2BMC. However, the request includes $6,903,000 for spiral 8.4 which has been deferred by MDA, and $6,937,000 to initiate a new spiral (8.2x) for which MDA has budgeted over $120,000,000 over the next 5 years. Furthermore, no cost or schedule baseline for spiral 8.2x has been established. Given the repeated adjustments to MDA's software development program baselines in recent years, the Committee does not find it appropriate to establish yet another new development spiral without first establishing cost and schedule baselines. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction to the request for spiral 8.2x. The Committee notes that this does not affect the continued development and fielding of spirals 6.4 and 8.2. Sharing of Classified United States Ballistic Missile Defense Information With the Russian Federation.--The Committee is concerned with the potential security risks associated with sharing sensitive U.S. missile defense data and technology with the Russian Federation. The Committee recognizes existing law restricts the sharing of sensitive and classified ballistic missile defense information with the Russian Federation, as cited in Public Law 112-81, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012. The Committee expects the administration to continue to adhere to current law, until superseded by any provision of an act authorizing appropriations for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2014 relating to this issue.

Therefore, wasteful spending resulted from agency personnel failing to negotiate good deals or to perform adequate oversight. The audit found that DLA Aviation paid approximately $13,700,000 in excess of fair and reasonable prices for 1,469 orders. This included a $10 device for which the defense contractor charged $2,286 a piece. In another example, DLA paid $12,467 each for metal tube assemblies that cover aircraft engine struts. The DODIG review concluded that the agency should have paid a unit price of approximately $1,167. DLA is seeking a refund of $13,700,000 from the contractor for the issues identified in the audit. However, the audit found that ``DLA Aviation also may have made payments in excess of the fair and reasonable price for an additional 20 delivery orders. If prices are not corrected, DLA Aviation will continue to overpay on future sole-source spare parts. . . . '' The Committee is concerned about the lack of attention given to the review of pricing for spare parts and believes the end customer, in this case the Air Force, needs to improve its oversight in the process as well. A reduction has been made to the Air Force operation and maintenance budget to account for savings that should be realized by the Air Force increasing its scrutiny of pricing for spare parts. Additionally, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the congressional defense committees no later than 90 days after the enactment of this act that examines the safeguards that are or have been put in place to prevent future defense contractor overpricing.

To limit such transfers and improve oversight within the Defense Health Program operation and maintenance account, the Committee includes a provision which caps the funds available for private sector care under the TRICARE program subject to prior approval reprogramming procedures. The provision and accompanying report language included by the Committee should not be interpreted by the Department as limiting the amount of funds that may be transferred to the direct care system from other budget activities within the Defense Health Program. In addition, the Committee continues to designate the funding for the direct care system as a special interest item. Any transfer of funds from the direct (or in- house) care budget activity into the private sector care budget activity or any other budget activity will require the Department of Defense to follow prior approval reprogramming procedures. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide written notification to the congressional defense committees of cumulative transfers in excess of $15,000,000 out of the private sector care budget subactivity. The Committee further directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to provide quarterly reports to the congressional defense committees on budget execution data for all of the Defense Health Program accounts and to adequately reflect changes to the budget activities requested by the services in future budget submissions. Carryover.--For fiscal year 2014, the Committee recommends 1 percent carryover authority for the operation and maintenance account of the Defense Health Program. The Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to submit a detailed spending plan for any fiscal year 2013 designated carryover funds to the congressional defense committees not less than 30 days prior to executing the carryover funds. Private Sector Care Underexecution.--According to a review by the Government Accountability Office, the Department underexecuted its private sector care budget by $1,356,245,000 in fiscal year 2011 and $1,463,178,000 in fiscal year 2012, for an average of 8.9 percent underexecution. The Committee notes that the Department included a reduction of $869,381,000 in its fiscal year 2014 budget request to account for lower than budgeted cost growth in private sector care. However, given the continued trend of prior-year underexecution, the Committee believes that additional savings can be realized and recommends a reduction of $275,000,000 to the fiscal year 2014 budget request. The Committee urges the Department to submit future year budgets that are more closely aligned with recent provided care patterns. Collaboration with the Department of Veterans Affairs.-- While the Department of Defense [DOD] and the Department of Veterans Affairs [VA] may have different missions, they are bound together in a mutual mission to support those who have served in the defense of the country. Over the past several years, collaboration between the Departments has significantly increased and the number of joint projects and services has expanded. The Committee applauds these efforts and believes that future information sharing between DOD and VA must strengthen in order to ensure a seamless transition from active duty and timely access to VA benefits. Nowhere is this more evident than in the transmission of service treatment records from DOD to VA. These records are essential in the VA's process of making accurate and timely determinations of benefits to which a veteran may be entitled. The Committee has been deeply concerned that while cooperation between the two Departments has significantly increased, delays in information sharing still plague the system. In order to increase the oversight of this process, the recommendation includes bill language directing the DOD Inspector General to work in coordination with the VA Office of the Inspector General to assess the time it takes for service treatment records to be transmitted to VA, impediments to providing the records in a useable electronic format, and recommendations to streamline this process. The Committee further directs that this report be submitted to the Committees on Appropriations of both Houses of Congress no later than July 31, 2014. The Committee understands that 43 percent of veterans from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars were National Guard and Reserve members and that Guard and Reserve records are often the most difficult for the VA to obtain because many of these veterans saw multiple, nonconsecutive deployments with different units. Currently, the VA must contact multiple individual units to collect these records. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to establish a central clearinghouse for Guard and Reserve records in order to speed the transfer of these records and avoid future anticipated backlogs. The Committee also believes that continuing the transition from a paper-based to an electronic system of record transfer is imperative in assisting the VA with providing benefits to veterans in a timely manner. The Department of Defense is currently deploying the Health Artifact Image Management Solution [HAIMS], which provides DOD and VA healthcare clinicians global access and awareness of images and documents generated during the healthcare delivery process through the continuum of care. The Committee provides an additional $3,600,000 in order to accelerate this initiative and directs DOD to transmit all records electronically to the VA by the end of 2013. In October 2010, DOD and VA established a first-of-its-kind partnership with the opening of the Captain James A. Lovell Federal Health Care Center [FHCC]. This is a fully integrated Federal healthcare facility that serves Active Duty military, their family members, military retirees, and veterans. The Committee continues to support the pilot program at FHCC and believes it will produce valuable lessons that can be used to expand future collaboration between DOD and VA hospitals as well as produce substantial savings to the taxpayer by combining the two healthcare systems where practical. integrated Electronic Health Record [iEHR].--The Committee is frustrated with the disappointing effort displayed over the past year by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs to continue development of an integrated Electronic Health Record [iEHR]. Five years ago, full interoperability of electronic records was mandated by the Congress. In 2011, the Departments decided to replace their respective existing legacy electronic health record systems and agreed to jointly develop an electronic health record through the Interagency Program Office [IPO]. The original schedule estimated operating capability for iEHR by 2017. In February 2013, because of cost and schedule issues, both Secretaries decided to take iEHR in a different strategic direction: focusing on creating an interoperable system and a subsequent integrated health record, rather than building a single integrated core system as previously agreed. The Committee understands both Departments believe this new approach will result in a lower overall cost of development and an accelerated timeline for completion. However, the Committee remains concerned by the lack of a well articulated plan forward and the lack of results of development to date. For instance, the Committee has yet to receive a detailed plan, including a timeline, benchmarks, or total cost for this major project. The Committee strongly believes that the current environment of fragmented and stove-piped systems is not an acceptable option. The Departments must develop and convey to the Committee a coherent path forward for the successful deployment of an interoperable system and integrated electronic health record. Further, the IPO must be more transparent regarding day-to-day functioning, including articulating a clear governance structure and a detailed plan to manage and maintain accountability on behalf of both Departments. In short, the IPO must demonstrate to the Committee that it can produce substantial achievements and adhere to a defined plan forward within the budget estimates. Included in Public Law 113-6 is a prohibition on obligation or expenditure of fiscal year 2013 funds for the development of iEHR until the Departments submit to the Appropriations subcommittees of jurisdiction a plan for expenditure that meets specifically outlined requirements. The Committee recently received and is currently reviewing the expenditure plan. Due to the Departments' inability to obligate fiscal year 2013 iEHR development funds and the lack of compliance with the requirements outlined in the bill, the Committee continues to include bill language limiting the obligation or expenditure of funds to 25 percent for the development of iEHR in fiscal year 2014 until both Departments provide the subcommittees of jurisdiction an expenditure plan including a long-term roadmap for the life of the project, with annual and total spending for each Department and quarterly milestones. The expenditure plan should also be submitted to the Government Accountability Office [GAO] for review. The Committee continues to expect briefings from the IPO on a quarterly basis providing a detailed explanation of the cost and schedule of iEHR development, including milestones, knowledge points, and acquisition timelines as it impacts both Departments, as well as quarterly obligation reports. The Committee also directs the Department of Defense to provide written notification to the Committees on Appropriations of the House and Senate prior to obligating any contract or combination of contracts in excess of $5,000,000. Finally, the Committee is troubled by the lack of transparency the Department of Defense has shown regarding the information used to inform the decision to change strategy on iEHR. The Committee directs the Director of the Office of Cost Assessment Program Evaluation [CAPE] to provide a report not later than 90 days after enactment of this act that includes independent cost estimates for the following: the Department's original plan of a single, integrated electronic health record system; the Department adopting and modernizing the VA's Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture [VistA]; and the Department procuring a core system other than but interoperable with VistA. Traumatic Brain Injury [TBI]/Psychological Health [PH].-- The Committee recommends $60,000,000 above the fiscal year 2014 budget request for continued research into treatment and prevention of traumatic brain injuries and improved psychological health. Traumatic brain injury [TBI] has been identified as the signature injury of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, but the long-term consequences of traumatic brain injury and the relationship between post-traumatic stress, suicide, sexual assault, and alcohol and substance abuse are poorly understood. The Committee supports the Department's past research efforts into each of these individual areas but encourages the Department to conduct research that takes a more holistic view of these issues in order to better understand how they are interrelated and develop more effective treatment and prevention strategies. The Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to submit a report to the congressional defense committees within 180 days of enactment of this act on expenditure and obligation data of additional funding added by Congress for psychological health and traumatic brain injury. This report should include information on agreements made with other Government agencies. Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program.--The Committee recommends $200,000,000 for a Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in conjunction with the Service Surgeons General, to select medical research projects of clear scientific merit and direct relevance to military health. Research areas considered under this funding are restricted to: acupuncture, alcohol and substance abuse, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, arthritis, autism, chronic migraine and post-traumatic headache, congenital heart disease, DNA vaccine technology for postexposure prophylaxis, duchenne muscular dystrophy, epilepsy, food allergies, Fragile X syndrome, gulf war illness, inflammatory bowel disease, interstitial cystitis, lupus, malaria, metabolic disease, multiple sclerosis, neurofibromatosis, orthopedics, pancreatitis, Parkinson's, polycystic kidney disease, post-traumatic osteoarthritis, psychotropic medications, reconstructive transplantation, respiratory health, rheumatoid arthritis, segmental bone defects, spinal cord injury, tinnitus, tuberous sclerosis complex, and vision research. The Committee emphasizes that the additional funding provided under the Peer Reviewed Medical Research Program shall be devoted only to the purposes listed above. The Committee remains supportive of the medical research being conducted by the Department that yields medical breakthroughs for servicemembers and often translates to the civilian population, as well. Along with the basic research that is necessary in less mature research areas, the Committee encourages the Department to pursue advanced research and translational research projects when appropriate. The Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to provide a report to the congressional defense committees within 180 days of enactment of this Act on the breakdown of funding in the Congressionally Directed Medical Research program between basic and advanced research. Joint Warfighter Medical Research Program.--The Committee recommends $100,000,000 for the Joint Warfighter Medical Research Program. Funds shall be used to augment and accelerate high priority Department of Defense and service medical requirements and to continue prior year initiatives that are close to achieving their objectives and yielding a benefit to military medicine. These funds shall not be used for new projects or basic research, and they shall be awarded at the discretion of the Secretary of Defense following a review of medical research and development gaps, as well as unfinanced medical requirements of the services. Further, the Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to provide a report not later than 180 days after the enactment of this act to the congressional defense committees, which lists the projects that receive funding. The report should include the funding amount awarded to each project, a thorough description of each project's research, and the benefit the research will provide to the Department of Defense. Peer-Reviewed Cancer Research Programs.--The Committee includes $120,000,000 for the peer-reviewed breast cancer research program, $64,000,000 for the peer-reviewed prostate cancer research program, $10,000,000 for the peer-reviewed ovarian cancer research program, and $25,000,000 for the peer- reviewed cancer research program that would research cancers not addressed in the aforementioned programs currently executed by the Department of Defense. The funds provided in the peer-reviewed cancer research program are directed to be used to conduct research in the following areas: kidney cancer, melanoma, mesothelioma, myeloproliferative disorders, and neuroblastoma. The funds provided under the peer-reviewed cancer research program shall be used only for the purposes listed above. The Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to provide a report not later than 180 days after the enactment of this act to the congressional defense committees on the status of the peer-reviewed cancer research program. For each research area, the report should include the funding amount awarded, the progress of the research, and the relevance of the research to servicemembers. Orthotics and Prosthetics Outcomes Research.--The Committee understands that over the last 10 years of war, more than 1,500 servicemembers have suffered a major amputation. The vast majority of the acute care and initial rehabilitation of these servicemembers has occurred within the Department's Advanced Rehabilitation Centers, which continue to provide rehabilitative techniques and advanced prosthetic technologies that facilitate maximum functional outcomes. While the Committee acknowledges the Department of Defense and Department of Veterans Affairs joint conference on the State of the Art in Orthotics and Prosthetics in March 2010, the Committee recognizes that too little is known about which orthotic and prosthetic supports, treatments, and technologies generate the best outcomes for which patients. The Committee believes that continued research on orthotics and prosthetics outcomes can further improve care for servicemembers with limb loss and limb impairment and support evidence-based practice by allowing doctors to match servicemembers and veterans with the orthotic or prosthetic that best works for them. Therefore, the Committee provides $10,000,000 in support of such comparative outcomes research and directs the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to provide a report not later than 180 days after the enactment of this act to the congressional defense committees on the peer-reviewed projects that receive funding. The report should include the funding amount awarded to each project and the anticipated effect on patient care. Healthy Base Initiative.--The Committee expects that the Department will employ a strong underpinning and binding paradigm to ensure the Department is focused and efficient in its transition of Healthy Base Initiative [HBI] bases from locations of multiple, stove-piped, often redundant, and frequently uncoordinated base-level health and community programs--and the eventual evolution of the participating HBI bases to ``Blue Zones.'' The current and most comprehensive framework for this new paradigm is Total Force Fitness [TFF], which is already embedded in the Department's doctrine. Not later than 180 days from enactment of this act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit a report to the congressional defense committees that includes a plan for the comprehensive coordination and delivery of TFF onto the existing health and community programs of bases selected to participate in the HBI and similar DOD programs, such as Marine Total Fitness; Comprehensive Soldier Fitness; Sleep, Activity, and Nutrition [SAN] program; and family resilience programs. This plan should address how the DOD will: --conduct assessments of the scope of TFF domains in the DOD in order to fully understand the expanse and redundancy of existing programs; --evaluate the efficiency and outcomes of existing programs against TFF metrics; --conduct realignment of base-level resources to ensure strong and non-redundant program coverage across each of the TFF domains; --coordinate activities across the remaining programs; --educate servicemembers and their families as to proper program access and use; and --conduct continual program and HBI evaluation against the selected TFF metrics. The Committee encourages the Department to seek the assistance of expert civilian and military groups with experience in TFF and whole systems/whole person integration. The Committee strongly believes that such an approach to base-level asset and program management will ensure a strong and vibrant military community and transition bases into ``Blue Zones'' of health, wellbeing, and resilience. Accordingly, the Committee provides $3,000,000 in Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide to expand the Healthy Base Initiative. Reconstructive Transplantation.--The Committee recognizes that the science and execution of complex transplants is at a critical juncture. Transplantation is an important alternative to prosthetics that restores function and sensation to the recipient, and the Department has focused its research funding in this area on the prevention of immune rejection, clinical monitoring of transplant recipients, and standardization of processes and protocols. The Committee supports continued research into reconstructive transplantation in order to achieve life-changing results for servicemembers and civilians alike. Prescription Effectiveness of Psychotropic Medications.-- The Committee supports the Department's efforts to treat patients diagnosed with behavioral health disorders and believes that recent efforts to use database-supported methods in order to increase the accuracy and effectiveness of prescription practices for mental health medications may not only achieve cost savings but also improve patient care. The Committee encourages the Department to continue these efforts and looks forward to receiving an update once interim results of this research are realized at the end of this calendar year. Bioscavenger Medical Countermeasures.--The Committee is concerned about the recent use of chemical agents in the Middle East and supports the Department's efforts to develop multiple nerve agent bioscavengers to protect the warfighter against chemical nerve agent exposure. The Committee looks forward to further advancement of this technology and encourages the Department to consider scalability, productivity, and cost effectiveness in its development. Global Health Engagements.--The Department's global health engagements support combatant commanders' efforts to build the capacity of partner nations, manage and respond to local health challenges, and promote regional stability by increasing access to basic health services. The Committee encourages the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs), in collaboration with the Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences, to establish a learning tool to assess the efficiency and effectiveness of global health engagements in meeting national security goals. Trauma Clinical Research Repository.--The Committee recognizes that trauma-related deaths impact our military services as well as the general civilian population, and the life-saving impact of trauma clinical research can be seen on the battlefield and in civilian trauma response. A trauma clinical research repository, accessible to both public and private researchers, would provide an opportunity to make widely available the data resulting from current and future research that could lead to significant advances in treatment and improved outcomes in both the military and civilian populations. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Department of Defense to work with other Federal agencies and the private sector to establish a trauma clinical research repository to share and maximize critical trauma research data. Pain Management.--The Committee recognizes that chronic pain disorders are increasingly prevalent among servicemembers and commends the Department for its initial steps to leverage investments by the National Institutes of Health in the development of the Pain Assessment Screening Tool and Outcomes Registry [PASTOR] for its use throughout the Military Health System [MHS]. The Committee encourages the Department to implement PASTOR throughout the MHS in an effort to inform the development of evidence-based approaches to chronic pain management. The Committee also supports the Department's research and implementation efforts on holistic, multidisciplinary, and multimodal approaches in seeking alternatives to opioid analgesics for pain management. The Army's 2010 Pain Management Task Force Report found that acupuncture in particular has proven valuable in reducing an overreliance on use of medications to treat pain. Recent research has shown the effectiveness and tremendous promise of acupuncture as a drugless, stigma-less approach in treating pain, stress, anxiety, insomnia, and drug addiction. Despite the evidence of acupuncture's value within the military, it is not universally available, and there are no standards to guide the clinical integration of acupuncture into models of care for wounded and ill servicemembers. The Committee encourages the Department to research the comparative effectiveness of acupuncture and develop a comprehensive approach to pain management through the appropriate integration of acupuncture and other integrative medicine approaches. Warfighter Respiratory Health.--The Committee understands that respiratory diseases affect more than 100,000 servicemembers each year and is concerned about respiratory ailments among deployed and returning servicemembers. Deployed military personnel have nearly double the rate of respiratory symptoms than non-deployed personnel. Beyond the decreased quality of life for affected servicemembers, respiratory diseases result in almost 27,000 lost workdays per year according to the Department. The Committee encourages the Department to provide adequate resources for research on respiratory health. Epilepsy Research.--The Committee is concerned about the large number of servicemembers who have sustained traumatic brain injuries [TBI] and are at high risk for developing post- traumatic epilepsy. As current TBI longitudinal studies have not included epilepsy, the Committee encourages the Department to place greater priority on longitudinal epidemiological research, including epilepsy surveillance, to better understand the magnitude of the problem and improve patient care and outcomes. In addition, the Committee urges the Department to expand research into the mechanisms by which brain injury produces epilepsy and prevention of epilepsy in those known to be at high risk. Melanoma Research.--The Committee understands that melanoma diagnoses are increasing among Active Duty servicemembers and that melanoma is the fifth most common cancer among veterans. Recent research suggests that exposure to high levels of solar radiation in young adulthood is associated with a higher risk of melanoma mortality. Given the extreme and harsh conditions servicemembers face in theater and the rise of this aggressive and frequently deadly form of cancer, the Committee encourages the Department to continue its investments in melanoma research. DNA Vaccine Technology for Post-Exposure Prophylaxis.--The Committee is aware the Army is seeking industry partners to develop a capability for rapid production of polyclonal antibody-based medical countermeasures to prevent and treat emerging infectious diseases. The use of DNA vaccines to stimulate the production of polyclonal antibodies in anseriformes has shown promise, and the Committee encourages the Army to continue its research in this area. Medical Defense Against Infectious Disease.--The Committee recognizes the importance of medical countermeasures to naturally occurring infectious diseases that pose a significant threat to the operational effectiveness of forces deployed outside the United States. Given the Department's recent strategic realignment toward the Asia-Pacific region and the prevalence of infectious diseases, the Committee encourages the Department to address diseases of military importance by encouraging collaboration with colleges and universities that have strong research programs in the areas of malaria, bacterial diarrhea, and viral diseases. Convergence Science.--The U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command [MRMC] is responsible for the research, development, and acquisition of medical materiel for the health, protection, and enhanced performance of military personnel. An emerging element of MRMC's efforts to provide the most advanced medical technology is convergence science, which is the merging of life, physical, and engineering sciences to provide an integrated approach for achieving advances in medical technology. Medical technology areas characterized by the convergence science approach are bioinformatics, synthetic biology, tissue engineering, biomaterials, and computational biology. This approach is at the cutting edge of technical advances led by top engineering universities and medical institutions. The Committee encourages the Army to continue this important work and advance this pioneering approach to military medical technology.

These efforts have created regional expertise in geographical areas where it is hard or dangerous to deploy U.S. assets and have provided indications and warnings of criminal and extremist activity. The Committee encourages the Department to continue tracking the effect and influence of local media outlets on civilian populations at the national and subnational level to provide detailed knowledge of behavioral changes by groups, governments, and organizations. National Guard Counter-Drug Schools.--The National Guard Counter-Drug Schools program has the unique mission of providing combatant commands, law enforcement agencies, community-based organizations, and military personnel with training to support and enhance their capabilities to detect, interdict, disrupt and curtail drug trafficking. The Committee feels this training is of utmost importance to ensure public safety and national security and therefore urges the Department to reverse the funding decline that this program has experienced in recent years.

TITLE IX OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS Department of Defense--Military The Committee recommends an appropriation of $77,623,143,000 for operations related to overseas contingency operations. In fiscal year 2013 Congress appropriated $86,954,838,000 for activities funded in this title.

This funding will ensure that resources, equipment, and supplies are available for our servicemembers without interruption, and will enable the Department to avoid absorbing operational costs from within baseline programs that are critical to future readiness and home-station activities. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS The Committee directs that the Department of Defense continue to report incremental contingency operations costs for Operation Enduring Freedom on a monthly basis in the Cost of War Execution report as required by Department of Defense Financial Management Regulation, chapter 23, volume 12. The Committee further directs the Department to continue providing the Cost of War reports to the congressional defense committees that include the following information by appropriation: funding appropriated, funding allocated, monthly obligations, monthly disbursements, cumulative fiscal year obligations, and cumulative fiscal year disbursements. The Committee expects that in order to meet unanticipated requirements, the Department of Defense may need to transfer funds within these appropriations accounts for purposes other than those specified in this report. The Committee directs the Department of Defense to follow normal prior approval reprogramming procedures should it be necessary to transfer funding between different appropriations accounts in this title. MILITARY PERSONNEL The Committee recommends a total of $9,405,307,000 for pay, allowances, and other personnel costs for Active, Reserve, and Guard troops activated for duty in Afghanistan and other contingency operations. This recommendation includes funding for subsistence, permanent change of station travel, and special pays including imminent danger pay, family separation allowance, and hardship duty pay.

Related Activitie s ================================================= Total, 7,726,720 6,944,920 -781,800 Afghanist an Security Forces Fund ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Afghanistan Security Forces Fund.--The fiscal year 2014 request for the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund [ASFF] is $7,726,727,000. This amount is a 50 percent increase from the $5,124,167,000 funded in fiscal year 2013. Of this request, $5,111,720,000 is for training, equipping and sustainment of the Afghan national security forces [ANSF]. The request also includes $2,615,000,000 for critical ``enablers.'' The critical enablers request procures mobile strike vehicles, night vision technology, howitzers, counter-improvised explosive device technology for the ANSF and $1,126,900,000 for aircraft to support the Afghanistan Air Force and the Afghan Special Mission Wing. In June, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction [SIGAR] issued a report raising doubts on the Afghans' ability to fly and maintain Mi-17 aircraft for the Afghan Special Mission Wing. The report also raised concern over the Afghan military's ability to maintain the aircraft and lack of Afghan pilots. In responding to the SIGAR's report, the Department stated that the Special Mission Wing is only 1 year old and logistics and maintenance capabilities are being developed. The Committee is also concerned about conducting additional business with the Russian company, Rosoboronexport, the sole supplier of the Mi-17 helicopter. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction to ASFF enablers in the amount of $365,000,000 for the Mi-17 helicopter and maintains a general provision prohibiting the Department from entering into a contract with Rosoboronexport. The Committee also recommends a reduction to ASFF enablers in the amount of $416,800,000 for additional light air support [LAS] aircraft. The budget request proposed funding for an additional 20 light support aircraft for Afghanistan. The original requirement that was outlined in 2009 identified a need for only 20 aircraft; after several setbacks, that contract was recently awarded by the Air Force with fiscal year 2012 funds. However, the fiscal year 2014 budget requests funding for an additional 20 aircraft even though the Department of Defense has not identified a requirement for more LAS aircraft beyond the 20 that were awarded. Recruiting and Retention of Women in Afghanistan National Security Forces.--Of the funds provided for the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund, the Committee directs that $15,000,000 be directed toward the recruitment and retention of women in the Afghan security forces. The funds should be focused on, but not limited to, providing appropriate equipment for female security and police forces, modification of facilities to allow for female participation within the security and police forces and training to include literacy training for women recruits but also gender awareness training for male counterparts. The Committee directs the Department of Defense to provide periodic updates to the congressional defense committees on the efforts to increase women participation in the Afghan armed forces. Building Partnership Capacity [BPC] Program.--The BPC program is an important force multiplier that enables the United States military to build the capacity of partner nations through the training and equipping of their counterterrorism, counternarcotics, and counterinsurgency units. The Committee concurs with the stated intent of the Air Force that the indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity light air support [LAS] contract for Afghanistan will not be used by any other nation for future BPC program purchases. According to Air Force testimony, the BPC program would provide a LAS capability to as many as 27 nations. This would create a program of record in excess of $9,500,000,000 if all other nations purchase at a minimum the same number of planes as Afghanistan. As a result, this program should be defined as a Major Defense Acquisition Program [MDAP] as defined under chapter 144 of title 10 of United States Code, with all provisions and reporting requirements of such chapter applying to the program, and should be reviewed within the regulatory review process established by the Secretary of Defense for MDAPs. The Committee directs the acquisition executive to ensure all acquisitions under this program be in accordance with Department of Defense regulations and procedures. PROCUREMENT The Committee recommends $5,171,602,000 for the procurement accounts. The overseas contingency operations funding supports our forces engaged in Operation Enduring Freedom and other contingency operations. The Committee provides funding to replace combat losses and equipment left behind in theater, augment and upgrade equipment for deploying units, sustain munitions and other war consumables, and reset the units returning home to an equipment-ready status. Funding adjustments have been made in instances where the requirement was poorly defined, funding was requested ahead of need or program execution has been delayed.

In March 2013, the Army received the mission for the Saturn Arch program as well as eight aircraft to complete the mission. The fiscal year 2014 budget requests an additional four aircraft for this mission. The Committee recommends no funds for the additional aircraft since the Army has provided no justification for these aircraft.

The fiscal year 2014 request is $1,000,000,000 in overseas contingency operations. The Committee remains concerned with lack of justification and redundancy in the JIEDDO program. Therefore, the Committee reduces the fiscal year 2014 request by $128,275,000 for specific activities that have been terminated since the budget was submitted, lack of justification, or are duplicative of other ongoing counter-IED efforts. The Committee concurs with S. 1197, the National Defense Authorization Act for fiscal year 2014, as reported, in regard to training the force; however, retains the funding in JIEDDO for fiscal year 2014. The Committee directs all future counter-IED training to be conducted by the appropriate service. The Committee also rescinds $59,000,000 as a result of terminated programs. Lastly, the Committee is concerned with JIEDDO's use of contractors. JIEDDO has 93 individual service contracts which authorizes 2,333 contractor positions, some of which are doing inherit government work. In addition, the committee is concerned with the costs of the contractors. For example, the Contractor Support Services contract is for 361 people and costs $83,400,000, which is roughly $230,700 per position; whereas the costs of a government civilian is approximately $100,000 less per full-time equivalent. As a result, the Committee recommends a 25 percent reduction or $45,000,000 to the staff and infrastructure request.
