250 BACKGROUND Purpose of the Bill This bill makes appropriations for the military functions of the Department of Defense for the period October 1, 2016, through September 30, 2017. 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 February 10, 2016, and concluded them on April 27, 2016, after nine separate sessions. The subcommittee heard testimony from representatives of the Department of Defense. Summary of the Bill The Committee recommendation of $568,101,051,000 includes funding to develop, maintain, and equip the military forces of the United States and for other purposes in nonemergency appropriations. The fiscal year 2017 budget request for activities funded in the Department of Defense appropriations bill totals $569,858,382,000 in new budget authority, including $58,625,551,000 in contingency funding for the Department of Defense and $514,000,000 in mandatory spending. In fiscal year 2016, the Congress appropriated $566,616,000,000 for activities funded in this bill. This amount includes $507,978,000,000 in base appropriations and $58,638,000,000 in Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism appropriations. The Committee recommends that funds requested for Coast Guard overseas contingency operations be appropriated directly to the Department of Homeland Security. The Committee recommendation in this bill is $1,485,051,000 above the amount provided in fiscal year 2016 and $1,757,331,000 below the amount requested for fiscal year 2017.

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. 2943, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017, 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 For the purposes of the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (Public Law 99-177), as amended by the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Reaffirmation Act of 1987 (Public Law 100-119), and by the Budget Enforcement Act of 1990 (Public Law 101-508), the terms ``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, 2017, the related classified annexes and Committee reports, and P-1 and R-1 budget justification documents as subsequently modified by congressional action. The following exception to the above definition shall apply: the military personnel and the operation and maintenance accounts, for which the term ``program, project, and activity'' is defined as the appropriations accounts contained in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act. At the time the President submits the budget request for fiscal year 2018, the Secretary of Defense is directed to transmit to the congressional defense committees budget justification documents to be known as the ``M-1'' and ``O-1'' which shall identify, at the budget activity, activity group, and sub-activity group level, the amounts requested by the President to be appropriated to the Department of Defense for military personnel and operation and maintenance in any budget request, or amended budget request, for fiscal year 2018. Reprogramming Guidance The Secretary of Defense is directed to continue to follow the reprogramming guidance for acquisition accounts as specified in the report accompanying the House version of the Department of Defense appropriations bill for fiscal year 2008 (House Report 110-279). For operation and maintenance accounts, the Secretary of Defense shall continue to follow the reprogramming guidelines specified in the conference report accompanying H.R. 3222, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2008. The dollar threshold for reprogramming funds shall remain at $10,000,000 for military personnel; $15,000,000 for operation and maintenance; $20,000,000 for procurement; and $10,000,000 for research, development, test and evaluation. Also, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) is directed to continue to provide the congressional defense committees annual DD Form 1416 reports for titles I and II and quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD Form 1416 reports for service and defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of this act. Reports for titles III and IV shall comply with guidance specified in the explanatory statement accompanying the Department of Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2006. The Department shall continue to follow the limitation that prior approval reprogrammings are set at either the specified dollar threshold or 20 percent of the procurement or research, development, test and evaluation line, whichever is less. These thresholds are cumulative from the base for reprogramming value as modified by any adjustments. Therefore, if the combined value of transfers into or out of a military personnel (M-1), an operation and maintenance (O-1), a procurement (P-1), or a research, development, test and evaluation (R-1) line exceeds the identified threshold, the Secretary of Defense must submit a prior approval reprogramming to the congressional defense committees. In addition, guidelines on the application of prior approval reprogramming procedures for congressional special interest items are established elsewhere in this report. 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 for programs that the Committee believes are necessary to improve the U.S. defense posture even though they have not been included under the request formulated by the Department of Defense. For instance, the Committee's hearings with the military services and the Department's leadership highlighted the risk to maintaining the U.S. technological edge under sequester- level budgets. Therefore, the Committee recommends increases to sustain U.S. technological superiority such as fifth generation aircraft, various shipbuilding programs, battlefield intelligence programs, and space programs. In addition, the Committee recommends funding to increase readiness, sustain U.S. force structure and maintain our industrial base. Finally, the Committee recommends increases in basic research, alternative energy and science and technology funding, which are the foundation for enhancing future technological superiority. The Committee also recommends funding for programs that are chronically underfunded, such as the Defense Production Act and National Guard and Reserve equipment purchases. 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. JOINT STRIKE FIGHTER [JSF] Joint Strike Fighter [JSF] Production.--The fiscal year 2017 budget request includes 63 F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, six fewer than were provided in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113). In comparison to quantities planned in the fiscal year 2016 budget request, the Air Force's fiscal year 2017 request includes five fewer aircraft in fiscal year 2017 and 45 fewer aircraft from fiscal years 2017 to 2021. The Committee is concerned that the current programmed quantities will not support the fielding of F-35 squadrons, as initially planned. As a result, the Committee recommends an additional $100,000,000 in advance procurement for the F-35A and encourages the Air Force to revisit F-35A procurement quantities in the fiscal year 2018 budget request. The Committee notes that the Navy continues to delay previously planned production increases of the F-35C carrier variant and has budgeted for no more than four F-35C aircraft since fiscal year 2014, even though prior budget requests planned for more aircraft. The fiscal year 2017 budget request again includes only four F-35Cs, two fewer than were provided in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113). The Committee notes that it is challenging to efficiently manufacture a small number of F-35C aircraft on the same production line as the F-35A and F-35B aircraft, given the unique items associated with the carrier variant. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Navy to maintain, at a minimum, the current procurement plan in the fiscal year 2018 budget request. The Committee notes that the Marine Corps has maintained a consistent funding profile for the F-35B variant over recent years. To support the Marine Corps initial operational capability and enable the transition from 4th generation fighters, the Committee recommends additional funding for two Marine Corps F-35B and two Marine Corps F-35C aircraft. Finally, the Committee understands that the Joint Strike Fighter Program Executive Officer is considering formally requesting JSF block buy authority from the congressional defense committees. The Committee notes that block buy authority differs from multi-year procurement authority. The Committee supports acquisition cost savings, however, there is concern that the Department of Defense has not completed a formal review of such a strategy. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, Logistics) to review a block buy strategy prior to the submission of such a request to the congressional defense committees. Joint Strike Fighter Follow-on Modernization [JSF FoM].-- The fiscal year 2017 budget request includes $264,900,000 in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy and Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force for Joint Strike Fighter Follow-on Modernization, an increase of $173,900,000 above fiscal year 2016 enacted amounts. The Committee notes the progress made by the JSF Program Executive Officer to define initial requirements and refine the JSF FoM acquisition strategy. However, the Committee further notes that cost estimates for the first two JSF FoM sub-blocks exceed $2,000,000,000, and that requirements and costs for the subsequent two JSF FoM sub-blocks are yet to be determined. In addition, the Committee notes that the JSF FoM acquisition strategy, the test and evaluation master plan, the contracting strategy, and the plan for management of infrastructure remain to be approved. Finally, the Committee notes that of funds requested for JSF FoM in fiscal year 2017, $158,900,000 is planned for obligation after the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. Therefore, the Committee recommends $106,000,000 for JSF FoM, an increase of $15,000,000 above fiscal year 2016 enacted amounts, and the amount executable in fiscal year 2017. The JSF Program Executive Officer is directed to provide to the congressional defense committees, not later than the fiscal year 2018 budget submission, the approved JSF FoM acquisition strategy, and, for each JSF FoM sub-block, the systems engineering plan, the test and evaluation master plan, independent cost estimates, and an acquisition program baseline. ISRAELI MISSILE DEFENSE PROGRAMS The fiscal year 2017 President's budget request includes $145,835,000 for Israeli missile defense programs, and the Committee has received a request from the Government of Israel which recommends $454,900,000 above the budget request for these programs. As previously stated in Senate Report 114-63, Congress has repeatedly, with strong bipartisan support, appropriated funds in excess of administration requests for Israeli missile defense programs to accelerate development of capabilities within a mutually agreed-upon U.S.-Israeli framework. However, these increases have historically been on a significantly smaller scale than the requests presented to the Committee in recent years, and accelerated capabilities covered by previously established cooperative development agreements. The Committee notes that in the last three fiscal years, Congress has appropriated more than $1,000,000,000 above the President's budget request for Israeli missile defense programs despite fiscal constraints imposed by the Budget Control Act. However, the establishment of U.S.-Israeli co-production agreements has yet to conclude, and funds appropriated in fiscal year 2016 have yet to be released. The Committee is aware of ongoing negotiations between the Government of the United States and the Government of Israel regarding Israel's future missile defense requirements and is hopeful that these requirements will be fully addressed. The Committee recommends an additional $454,900,000 for Israeli missile defense programs, as requested by the Government of Israel. The Committee directs that not more than $90,000,000 may be obligated or expended for long lead items in support of the David's Sling Weapons System, and not more than $70,000,000 may be obligated or expended for long lead items in support of the Arrow upper tier program until the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology and Logistics) provides to the congressional defense committees the joint U.S.--Israeli co-production agreements for each of these weapon systems that define: Israeli requirements, detail joint production plans, to include the transfer of technical data packages, if applicable, establish all up round production and delivery schedules, delineate U.S. and Israeli industry workshares for co-production, describe the proposed use of U.S. and Israeli funds based on a common cost model, and identify Israeli contributions. In addition, the Director, Missile Defense Agency is directed to certify to the congressional defense committees, not later than the fiscal year 2018 budget submission, that previously requested data has been provided to the Missile Defense Agency by the Israeli Missile Defense Organization. SHIP MODERNIZATION, OPERATIONS AND SUSTAINMENT FUND The Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2013 (Public Law 112-175) established the Ship Modernization, Operations and Sustainment Fund [SMOSF] and provided full funding, as identified by the Navy, for the succeeding two fiscal years to man, operate, sustain, upgrade, equip, and modernize seven cruisers and two dock landing ships. At the time, the Congress was concerned with the Navy's proposal to prematurely retire capable and relevant ships and supported a temporary bridge fund for these ships until the Navy could budget for the routine costs to operate and modernize them in subsequent budgets. Congressional direction limited the $2,378,000,000 provided in fiscal year 2013 to only those ships or hull numbers that the Navy proposed for premature retirement in the budget submission. According to the Navy, their retirement proposal was strictly driven by fiscal constraints. Despite the additional funding and strong congressional direction, the Navy failed to obligate within 2 years the majority of SMOSF resources provided in Public Law 112-175. With submission of the fiscal year 2015 budget request, the Navy included a new proposal to remove 11 Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruisers and three amphibious dock landing ships from the operational fleet and lay them up for several years under a phased modernization plan. The Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2015 (Public Law 113-235) rejected this proposal and instead recommended a modified modernization plan that was consistent the Navy's proposal to expand application of unobligated SMOSF resources to four additional cruisers and an additional dock landing ship. In addition, the fiscal year 2015 agreement included an increase of $540,000,000 in the SMOSF to support this new direction. The Committee notes, however, that the Navy continues to obligate funds at a slower than expected rate. The Navy's fiscal year 2017 budget submission, once again, deviates from congressional direction and proposes to change the modernization lay-up and phasing plan while continuing to utilize SMOSF resources. Given that the Navy has repeatedly ignored congressional direction over the past 4 years and continues to make changes to how SMOSF resources are applied, the Committee rescinds $1,317,300,000 from funds remaining available for obligation in the SMOSF account. The Committee recommends an increase of $183,000,000 in the Operation and Maintenance, Navy account and $101,500,000 in the Other Procurement, Navy account to support cruiser and dock landing ship modernization efforts in fiscal year 2017. The Committee expects the Navy to utilize these funds for their congressionally directed purpose during fiscal year 2017 and to fully fund for all manpower, readiness, and modernization activities associated with cruiser and dock landing ships in the traditional appropriations accounts with the fiscal year 2018 budget request. 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 2017 budget requests a total of $128,902,332,000 for military personnel appropriations. This request funds an Active component end strength of 1,281,900 and a Reserve component end strength of 801,200. SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION The Committee recommends military personnel appropriations totaling $127,976,516,000 for fiscal year 2017. This is $925,816,000 below the budget estimate. Committee recommended military personnel appropriations for fiscal year 2017 are summarized below: SUMMARY OF MILITARY PERSONNEL APPROPRIATIONS [In thousands of dollars] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change from Account 2017 budget Committee budget estimate recommendation estimate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Military Personnel: Military Personnel, Army.................................... 40,028,182 39,962,113 -66,069 Military Personnel, Navy.................................... 27,951,605 27,712,455 -239,150 Military Personnel, Marine Corps............................ 12,813,412 12,698,935 -114,477 Military Personnel, Air Force............................... 27,944,615 27,706,468 -238,147 Reserve Personnel: Reserve Personnel, Army..................................... 4,561,703 4,466,763 -94,940 Reserve Personnel, Navy..................................... 1,924,155 1,918,395 -5,760 Reserve Personnel, Marine Corps............................. 744,995 743,265 -1,730 Reserve Personnel, Air Force................................ 1,742,906 1,715,360 -27,546 National Guard Personnel: National Guard Personnel, Army.............................. 7,910,694 7,781,224 -129,470 National Guard Personnel, Air Force......................... 3,280,065 3,271,538 -8,527 ----------------------------------------------- Total..................................................... 128,902,332 127,976,516 -925,816 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Committee recommended end strengths for fiscal year 2017 are summarized below: RECOMMENDED END STRENGTH ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2016 2017 budget Committee Change from authorization estimate recommendation budget estimate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Active: Army................................ 475,000 460,000 460,000 ................

The Secretary of Defense is prohibited from executing any reprogramming or transfer of funds for any purpose other than originally appropriated until the aforementioned report is submitted to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to use the normal prior approval reprogramming procedures to transfer funds in the services' military personnel accounts between budget activities in excess of $10,000,000. Military Personnel Special Interest Items Items for which additional funds have been provided or have been specifically reduced as shown in the project level tables or in paragraphs using the phrase ``only for'' or ``only to'' in this report are congressional special interest items for the purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414). Each of these items must be carried on the DD Form 1414 at the stated amount as specifically addressed in the Committee report. Below Threshold Reprogrammings may not be used to either restore or reduce funding from congressional special interest items as identified on the DD Form 1414. Military Personnel Overview Reserve Component Budget Reporting.--The Committee continues its requirement for the Department to provide a semi- annual detailed report to the congressional defense committees showing transfers between subactivities within the military personnel appropriation. 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. 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 $880,050,000 from the fiscal year 2017 military personnel accounts. 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 military healthcare providers in CERFPs, NGHRFs, and CCMRFs 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. Remotely Piloted Aircraft Pilot Shortfall.--The Committee is deeply concerned with the continuing shortage of Remotely Piloted Aircraft [RPA] pilots. As a result of shortfalls in incentivizing, training, and retaining RPA pilots, the fiscal year 2017 budget request proposes contractors to fill in for RPA operators. Contractors are not authorized to operate on unmanned platforms in the same capacity as airmen, yet will be paid more for their work. This solution is not sustainable due to cost and the limits on missions performed by contractor pilots. To avoid this less than optimal temporary solution and improve retention, the Committee supports the use of critical skill bonus payments in order to direct and incentivize talent specifically for the RPA platform. The Committee believes skill bonus payments are not meant to support parity among platforms or services but to acknowledge the scarcity of an indispensable skill. The critical need for RPA pilots will continue to be an enduring requirement for the Air Force, and the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide additional solutions.

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 2017 budget requests a total of $171,318,488,000 for operation and maintenance appropriations. SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION The Committee recommends operation and maintenance appropriations totaling $170,698,913,000 for fiscal year 2017. This is $619,575,000 below the budget estimate. Committee recommended operation and maintenance appropriations for fiscal year 2017 are summarized below: SUMMARY OF OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE APPROPRIATIONS [In thousands of dollars] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change from Account 2017 budget Committee budget estimate recommendation estimate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Operation and Maintenance: Operation and Maintenance, Army............................. 33,809,040 33,550,500 -258,540 Operation and Maintenance, Navy............................. 39,483,581 39,590,181 +106,600 Operation and Maintenance, Marine Corps..................... 5,954,258 6,000,258 +46,000 Operation and Maintenance, Air Force........................ 37,518,056 37,260,692 -257,364 Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide..................... 32,571,590 32,478,682 -92,908 Operation and Maintenance, Army Reserve..................... 2,712,331 2,704,531 -7,800 Operation and Maintenance, Navy Reserve..................... 927,656 927,656 ..............

The Secretary of Defense is prohibited from executing any reprogramming or transfer of funds for any purpose other than originally appropriated until the aforementioned report is submitted to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to use the normal prior approval reprogramming procedures to transfer funds in the services' operation and maintenance accounts between O-1 budget activities in excess of $15,000,000. In addition, the Secretary of Defense should follow prior approval reprogramming procedures for transfers in excess of $15,000,000 out of the following budget sub-activities: Army: Maneuver units Modular support brigades Land forces operations support Force readiness operations support Land forces depot maintenance Base operations support Facilities Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization Navy: Aircraft depot maintenance Ship depot maintenance Facilities Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization Marine Corps: Depot maintenance Facilities Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization Air Force: Primary combat forces Combat enhancement forces Combat communications Facilities Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization Air Force Reserve: Depot maintenance Air National Guard: Depot maintenance Additionally, the Secretary of Defense should follow prior approval reprogramming procedures for transfers in excess of $15,000,000 into the following budget sub-activity: Operation and Maintenance, Army National Guard: Other personnel support/recruiting and advertising With respect to Operation and Maintenance, Defense-Wide, proposed transfers of funds to or from the levels specified for defense agencies in excess of $15,000,000 shall be subject to prior approval reprogramming procedures. During fiscal year 2017, the Committee directs the Service Secretaries to submit written notification and justification to the congressional defense committees not later than 15 days prior to implementing transfers in excess of $15,000,000 out of the following budget sub-activities: Navy: Mission and other flight operations Mission and other ship operations Air Force: Operating forces depot maintenance Mobilization depot maintenance Training and recruiting depot maintenance Administration and service-wide depot maintenance These transfers may be implemented 15 days after a congressional notification unless an objection is received from one of the congressional defense committees. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE BUDGET EXECUTION DATA The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to continue to provide the congressional defense committees with quarterly budget execution data. Such data should be provided not later than 45 days after the close of each quarter of the fiscal year, and should be provided for each O-1 budget activity, activity group, and sub-activity group for each of the active, defense-wide, reserve, and National Guard components. For each O-1 budget activity, activity group, and sub-activity group, these reports should include the budget request and actual obligation amount, the distribution of unallocated congressional adjustments to the budget request, all adjustments made by the Department in establishing the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414) report, all adjustments resulting from below threshold reprogrammings, and all adjustments resulting from prior approval reprogramming requests. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE SPECIAL INTEREST ITEMS Items for which additional funds have been provided or have been specifically reduced as shown in the project level tables or in paragraphs using the phrase ``only for'' or ``only to'' in the Committee report are congressional special interest items for the purpose of the Base for Reprogramming (DD Form 1414). Each of these items must be carried on the DD Form 1414 at the stated amount as specifically addressed in the Committee report. Below Threshold Reprogrammings may not be used to either restore or reduce funding from congressional special interest items as identified on the DD Form 1414. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OVERVIEW Readiness.--The Committee recommends an additional $1,450,000,000 in title VIII and $1,000,000,000 in title IX of this act to be transferred to the operation and maintenance accounts and be divided proportionately among the services and the National Guard and reserve components. This funding shall be used only to improve military readiness, including increased training, depot maintenance, and base operations support. None of the funding provided may be used for recruiting, marketing, or advertising programs. The funding provided is a congressional special interest item. The Secretary of Defense and the Service Secretaries are directed to submit a detailed spending plan by sub-activity group to the House and Senate Appropriations Committees not less than 30 days prior to the obligation of these funds. These transfers may be implemented 30 days after congressional notification unless an objection is received from either the House or Senate Appropriations Committees. Civilian Workforce.--The Committee expects the Department of Defense to maintain a stable, effective, right-sized civilian cadre. The Committee recognizes the critical role that the civilian workforce plays every day in ensuring the mission success of the Armed Forces and fully funds the 1.6 percent pay raise for civilian personnel as requested. Workforce Management.--The Committee supports a workforce management plan that is fair for all sectors of the workforce. Decisions on sourcing new work, expanding existing responsibilities, or transferring functions currently performed by civilian personnel or contractors to performance by military personnel must not proceed without comparing the costs according to the Department's own methodology. Therefore, decisions whether to assign new work which is not inherently governmental, closely associated with inherently governmental functions, or critical to military, civilian, or contractor personnel, shall be based on the results of the costing methodology laid out in Department of Defense Instruction [DODI] 7041.04. Additionally, before converting functions performed by civilian personnel or contractors to performance by military personnel that are not required by law or regulation to be performed by military personnel, the Department shall adhere to its own costing methodology laid out in DODI 7041.04. Contract Services Spending.--The Committee is concerned that the Department of Defense does not have adequate policies, procedures, and controls in place to enforce limitations on the annual amounts expended on contracted services. There is further concern that not all contracted services are being subjected to spending limitations because of the exclusion of contracted services involving Economy Act transfers between and within Department of Defense components. Additionally, because of the disparity between the levels of contracted services captured in the Inventory of Contracts for Services, required under section 2330a of title 10, United States Code, and what the Department budgets for contracted services, it appears as though the Department does not deliberately plan for most contracted services. The Committee urges the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) to review the efforts of the financial management and acquisition communities to implement effective control mechanisms for contracted services spending. Operation and Maintenance Budget Justification.--The Committee commends the Department for the improvements in the Operation and Maintenance [O&M] budget materials made over the past several years. To further inform the congressional review, the Committee directs the following actions: --The budget justification materials shall include the OP-8B: Total Civilian Personnel Costs for every appropriation as a part of the President's budget justification for fiscal year 2018 and thereafter. --Every subactivity group in O&M that funds recruiting and advertising activities shall include the budget profile broken out by recruiting and advertising for the prior year, current year, and budget year as a part of the performance criteria in the OP-5 exhibit. This shall be provided with the President's budget justification for fiscal year 2018 and thereafter. --Each OP-5 exhibit includes a personnel summary which provides helpful information about the civilian workforce. However, the way it is displayed includes memo entries for military technicians and reimbursable civilians, which makes it difficult to quickly analyze direct hire full time equivalents [FTEs]. The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) is directed to revise the personnel summary section of the OP-5 exhibit to maintain the categories of information provided (including military technicians and reimbursable civilians) but to breakout the numbers without using memo entries. --The Department's Financial Management Regulations [FMR] directs the services and defense agencies to itemize major program changes and provide the baseline in dollars to which the increase or decrease applies on the OP-5 exhibit. The Department of the Navy is directed to use the most specific programmatic baseline possible, regardless of whether or not the program baseline is listed in the performance criteria. --The FMR provides specific instructions for the performance criteria for base operations support (Exhibit OP-5 Base Support Program (Attachment 8)). The Air Force is directed to follow this outline; particularly the instruction that says that the sum of amounts must match the Base Support total in the O-1 exhibit. --The Department of the Air Force is encouraged to consider consolidating the Base Support and Facilities Sustainment, Restoration and Modernization budget line items from four budget activities down to one budget activity. --The Department of the Air Force and the Marine Corps are encouraged to begin utilizing OP-32 line 990 Information Technology Contract Support Services. --The Office of Economic Adjustment's budget documentation in O&M Defense-wide shall include the budget profile of each major program for the prior year, current year, and budget year as a part of the performance criteria in the OP-5 exhibit. Examples of major programs would be Program Assistance, Defense Industry Adjustment, and Guam. Tobacco Use in the Military.--Tobacco use is the leading cause of preventable death in the United States, with more than 480,000 deaths attributable to cigarette smoking each year. The Department of Defense has affirmed the goal of a tobacco-free military, and has implemented a range of programs including public education campaigns, the banning of all tobacco use during basic training, and the prohibition of tobacco use by instructors in the presence of students. The Committee supports the Secretary of Defense's Policy Memorandum 16-001 from April 8, 2016, directing the military services ``to ensure a comprehensive tobacco policy that assists with preventing initiation of tobacco use, helping those who want to quit using tobacco succeed, and decreasing exposure to second-hand smoke for all our people.'' As a result, the Committee retains a provision from the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113) directing the elimination of the price subsidy provided to tobacco products at military exchanges. Voluntary Military Education Programs--Tracking Outcomes.-- The Committee remains concerned about the lack of information available on the outcomes of students receiving Tuition Assistance and My Career Advancement Account [MyCAA] benefits. The Committee directed the Secretary of Defense to submit a report tracking such outcomes of each of these programs on or before June 1, 2016, as part of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113). The Committee looks forward to receiving this report as soon as possible, and it shall include, but not be limited to, the following data totals for the most recent calendar year available: 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. The Department is also 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--Enforcing Memorandum of Understanding.--The Committee supports the Department of Defense's commitment to enforcing the terms of the current Memorandum of Understanding [MOU] with all educational institutions providing educational programs through the Department of Defense tuition assistance program. The Committee is also supportive of the Department's efforts to increase participating institutions' understanding of their contractual obligations as MOU signatories and the procedures for enforcement as outlined in Department of Defense Instruction [DODI] 1322.25. The Committee urges the Department to maintain vigorous defense of these responsibilities in order to protect the integrity and quality of voluntary military education programs. Item Unique Identification Implementation.--The Committee supports the Department of Defense's goal of enhancing asset visibility through item-unique identification [IUID] and automatic identification technology/automatic identification and data capture [AIT/AIDC] processes, but remains concerned with the level of the compliance with its own IUID policy which was released on September 3, 2015. The Committee believes the Department of Defense must improve its efforts to capture meaningful data and mark, track and verify assets to enable life-cycle management, implement asset valuation/accountability for audit readiness, and support counterfeit part risk reduction. Any successful asset visibility or AIT/AIDC strategy requires continuous identification, integration, and monitoring of efforts. The committee urges the Department and the services to increase their oversight of the implementation of IUID and other AIT/AIDC policies. Counterfeit Parts.--The Department of Defense has taken significant steps since legislation was enacted in 2012 to reduce the risk of counterfeit electronic parts entering into Department of Defense weapon systems. Although responsibility for eliminating risk of counterfeit parts belongs to industry suppliers to the Department of Defense at all tiers, the Committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to be proactive about identifying, developing, and validating independent tools that suppliers could easily use to rapidly identify counterfeit electronics in the supply chain accurately and at low cost. Training Ranges.--The services rely on national air ranges and military operating areas to provide realistic combined-arms training for pilots against a variety of targets and simulated threats. The Committee is aware that the services augment the national ranges by maintaining a network of regional air training ranges with air to ground targeting areas that are essential to maintain the proficiency and readiness for pilots and aircrews who do not have consistent access to national ranges. Regional ranges and exercises have the potential to offer valuable cost savings measures and a means for flying units to satisfy training requirements in a limited fiscal environment. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to establish an investment strategy for the preservation and enhancement of regional ranges and exercises needed to provide live training for aircrews across the full spectrum of operations. Federal Fleet Management Transparency and Metrics.--The Committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to maintain supporting documentation on the methods the Department of Defense uses for determining optimal fleet inventories and justification for any deviation from the General Services Administration's Federal Property Management Regulations. Children's Advocacy Centers [CACs].--Children's Advocacy Centers [CACs] are a community-based, public-private partnership that brings together professionals from law enforcement, prosecution, medical, mental health, child protective services, and victim advocacy agencies to pursue the truth in child abuse investigations. The Committee applauds existing efforts undertaken by military bases to enter into voluntary memoranda of understanding with CACs in their communities, which allow CACs to provide their services to military families affected by child abuse. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense and military bases across the country to continue to voluntarily collaborate with CACs in their communities to serve the best interests of child abuse victims within military families. Cyber Kinetic Combat Environment.--The Committee is encouraged by current progress to address training shortfalls in the cyber kinetic combat environment. Particularly, the Committee supports the Air Force's efforts to identify a training environment where they can replicate combat conditions and perform simultaneous operations, cyber-enabled kinetic operations, or physically-enabled cyber operations. Adversaries continue to develop asymmetric and cyber capabilities which put U.S. and allied forces at risk. The Committee encourages developing this training as a priority for the Department of Defense. Transparency Requirement.--The Committee is aware that the Department of Defense does a variety of different types of advertising. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to clearly state within the text, audio or video used for advertising or educational purposes, including emails or advertising/posting on the Internet, that the communication is printed, published, or produced and disseminated at U.S. taxpayer expense. Resourcing the Arctic Strategy.--As previously expressed in Senate Report 114-63, the Committee requires greater budgetary detail on amounts included in the President's request for implementation of the Department of Defense 2013 Arctic Strategy. The Committee notes that contrary to previous direction, that information was not provided with the submission of the fiscal year 2017 President's budget. The Committee reiterates its direction contained in Senate Report 114-63 for the fiscal year 2018 President's budget, and directs that not more than 50 percent of funds appropriated for the Office of Under Secretary of Defense (Policy) may be obligated or expended until the previously requested information has been provided to the congressional defense committees. Cyber Mission Force Training and Readiness.--The Committee supports efforts by the Department of Defense to grow a capable and trained cyber mission force, however, the Department is experiencing challenges in providing necessary training for military personnel in a timeframe that meets the demand. Given the urgent need to develop a capable cyber mission force, the Committee recommends that the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Service Secretaries and the Active and Reserve components, develop a strategy to address the current training delay, to include procedures and plans to increase training opportunities. The strategy should include an assessment of the feasibility of expanding training to sites with Active or Reserve components with secure infrastructure and qualified cyber personnel, including aggressor units and cyber red team units, capable of training military personnel in various cyber missions. Cyber Mission Force Training Curriculum.--The Committee recognizes the need for the U.S. military to have the most competitive cyber-security force in the world, both in offense and defense. The Committee also recognizes that hacking contests, such as the CyberStakes platform, offer a scalable platform that achieves an ever increasing level of competence among participants. The Committee directs the Director of Force Readiness and Training to develop, as part of the cyber training curriculum, a competitive hacking environment that includes the ability for participants to build novel working exploits and defend against them. The Director shall report back to the Committee within 120 days after enactment of this act on the training environment and steps that will be taken to measure participant capabilities. National Security Planning.--The Committee commends the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy on its steps to mitigate the national security implications of environmental impacts, as required by Senate Report 113-211 (July 17, 2014). The Committee supports the Under Secretary's continued direction to address the most serious risks for each of the geographic Combatant Commands, and how those commands are integrating mitigation of those risks into their planning processes. The Committee encourages the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to continue to assess the risks to national security posed by environmental impacts as they plan and execute the National Security Strategy.

Carryover, or unfilled orders, represents the dollar value of the production orders (parts, labor, and overhead) that have been ordered and funded by customers but not completed by the industrial operations activities at the end of each fiscal year. Some carryover is necessary, as it provides lead time to assemble necessary workforce skill sets, to establish supply chains. Carryover also prevents production line stoppages and ensures the activities have funded work to provide a smooth transition between fiscal years. Therefore, for budgeting purposes, there are metrics that the services use to calculate an allowable amount of carryover. But the fiscal year 2017 President's budget request shows that the Army's projection for carryover will be above the allowable limit. The Committee urges Army leadership to continue monitoring carryover and production goals on a recurring basis. The Committee also encourages the Army to focus on further reducing carryover by leveraging new policy and process improvements aimed at increasing production, improving customer-provider communication, and strengthening controls over the acceptance of new orders. Finally, the Committee affirms that the key to reducing carryover below the allowable limit is for the Army to perform more work on orders than the amount of orders received in a year. Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson.--The Committee is supportive of the Army's decision to delay the removal of 2,600 Soldiers from the 4-25 Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne) stationed at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson [JBER]. The decision to retain JBER's force structure signals that the Army remains dedicated to supporting the strategic balance to the Pacific, preserving a leading role in the Arctic, and preventing North Korean and Russian aggression by maintaining key assets in Alaska. However, the Committee questions the Army's decision to delay instead of reverse its plans for JBER and expects a continued effort by the Army to recognize the mission and strategic value of the 4-25 as the only airborne brigade in the Pacific. Productivity Enhancement Program.--The Department of Defense's organic depot maintenance capability is vital to our military's sustainment infrastructure. The Committee encourages the Secretary of the Army to modernize the organic depots' Electronic Test and Measurement Equipment [ET&ME] and Product Lifecycle Management Software to allow cost savings in future maintenance and calibration expenditures. Army Training and Certification Tracking System [ATCTS].-- The Army Training and Certification Tracking System provides managers a capability to report and manage training and certification statistics for the Information Assurance [IA] workforce to ensure the security of information technology. The Committee recognizes the effectiveness of this program and encourages the Secretary of the Army to consider expanding it based on the growing threat of cyber-attacks and the need to ensure personnel have the proper training and certification to deal with appropriate sensitive material. Soldier for Life--Transition Assistance Program.--The Soldier for Life-Transition Assistance Program [SFL-TAP] provides transitioning and retiring soldiers, family members, and Army civilians job training assistance and helps develop skills they require to obtain appropriate employment and to maximize the use of benefits earned through new employment. SFL-TAP also provides outreach services to soldiers stationed in remote and isolated locations through the use of 24/7 virtual counseling or Mobile Transition Teams. The Committee recognizes the need to successfully transition soldiers from military to civilian life and the requirement to transition them with the skills and certifications necessary to lead a productive civilian life and encourages the Army to continue robust support for this program.

The Committee further directs the Navy to include the costs of the fiscal year 2018 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. Ship Overhaul Opportunistic Part-Marking Compliance.--The Committee supports the Navy's efforts to improve compliance with its Opportunistic Part-Marking policy during ship overhauls and repairs at shipyards across the country. Compliance with the policy will help the Navy produce clean financial audits, lower total life-cycle cost, identify counterfeit parts, and save taxpayer funding through improved productivity, efficiency, maintenance, and logistical planning. Advanced Skills Management Legacy System Upgrades.--The Committee is concerned that the Navy is not giving full consideration to commercial-off-the-shelf [COTS] software solutions. The Secretary of the Navy is encouraged to use the best value procurement methods when upgrading legacy software systems. Joint Interagency Task Force West [JIATF-West].--The Committee is concerned that the current organizational structure of the Joint Interagency Task Force West [JIATF-West] is impacting the resource allocation between headquarters activities and operational programs and tasks. The Committee recommends that JIATF-West continue to review its organizational structure to realign staff in support of missions associated with Pacific Command's Theatre Campaign Plan.

The Committee understands that the Alaska Air National Guard 176th Wing is the closest dedicated rescue force, but maintains only a single Arctic sustainment package for alerts and partial package for training. The Secretary of the Air Force is directed to review Arctic search and rescue requirements and to submit with the fiscal year 2018 President's budget a report detailing the results of this review. Air Force Weather Monitoring.--The Committee recognizes the importance of Air Force weather radars for the safety of military aircrews and for their contributions to weather forecasting in accordance with the interagency Next Generation Weather Radar [NEXRAD] network. The Secretary of the Air Force is directed to provide 30 days advance notification to the congressional defense committees of any proposed divestment of NEXRAD radars or associated support activities. Cyber Command Elevation.--The Committee understands that the Department of Defense and Congress are considering elevating Cyber Command to a full Combatant Command. The Committee recognizes that if such a transition takes place, it will take time to develop staffing plans, hire and clear needed personnel, and transfer military personnel to the new Command. The Committee believes that funds from within the fiscal year 2017 budget for Cyber Command are sufficient to meet the Command's early needs. The Committee expects that additional funds will be needed in fiscal year 2018 to support an elevated Cyber Command and directs the Secretary of Defense to present its plan for necessary funding in the fiscal year 2018 budget request if Cyber Command elevation is approved.

increase: Long- term temporary duty waivers ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Wargaming.--The Office of the Secretary of Defense's budget request included $35,000,000 for wargaming initiatives that will pursue innovative ways to sustain and advance military superiority and improve business operations throughout the Department of Defense. These resources will be allocated through a rigorous process, overseen by the Quad Chairs (Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy, the Joint Staff, Cost Assessment and Program Evaluation [CAPE], and the Office of Net Assessment [ONA]) and reporting to the Deputy Secretary of Defense. The Wargaming Quad Chairs will evaluate funding proposals from the Combatant Commanders and military services, with the Joint Staff overseeing full execution of approved initiatives. The Committee is supportive of the Department of Defense's efforts to combat emerging threats and to challenge adversaries. Therefore, the Secretary of Defense is directed to submit a quarterly report on the wargaming initiatives that are funded in fiscal year 2017. The reports shall include the title of each initiative, the recipient, the amount funded and a short explanation of the objective. The reports shall be submitted to the congressional defense committees not later than 30 days after the close of each quarter of the fiscal year. Long-Term Temporary Per Diem.--In November, 2014, the Department of Defense [DOD] implemented a change to the Joint Travel Regulation [JTR] cutting per diem rates during long-term temporary duty travel. The Committee is concerned about the effect of the flat rate per diem policy on long-term temporary duty travelers. This policy has discouraged experienced employees of shipyards, depots, and arsenals from across the DOD from volunteering to fulfill mission critical requirements due to concerns of paying for expenses related to official travel out of pocket. The Committee is aware of legislative proposals and administrative policy that allow DOD to waive the flat rate per diem. However, the Committee is concerned that this waiver authority has generated greater uncertainty in the DOD workforce, particularly since the authority is split across proposed legislation and administrative policy, with meals and incidentals covered by pending legislation, and lodging by policy. Moreover, the Committee is concerned that these various waiver authorities create additional obstacles that discourage DOD's most experienced professionals from volunteering for mission essential work. The Committee worries that this affects the savings that accrue to DOD by adding maintenance days as a result of having less experienced workers volunteering for long-term missions. The Committee notes that section 623 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114- 49) directed a review by the Comptroller General of the United States on the impact DOD's long-term temporary duty per diem policy has on affected employees. The Committee will carefully consider the findings of this review and will continue to work with stakeholders on potential policy changes, including a reversal of the flat rate per diem policy on long-term temporary duty travel if such a change becomes prudent. While the Committee awaits the results of that study, DOD is encouraged to allow the Service Secretaries to waive the per diem rates of long-term duty travelers up to the full amount based on actual costs incurred. Defense Language National Security Education Office.--The Committee recognizes that, in partnership with universities across the country, the National Security Education Program 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. Counter-Lord's Resistance Army.--The Department of Defense shall continue its support of Operation Observant Compass to enable regional partners to continue to conduct operations against Joseph Kony and the Lord's Resistance Army. African Standby Force.--The Committee recognizes that the rapid deployment capability envisioned for the African Standby Force [ASF] has the potential to counter emerging crises and provide greatly needed peacekeeping support in Africa. However, this capability has been slow to develop, faces inadequate troop contributions, and has yet to reach full operational capability more than a decade since its inception. As the combatant command overseeing U.S. military policy in Africa, Africa Command [AFRICOM] may have a constructive role in engaging the African Union's Regional Economic Communities who are tasked to provide the necessary capabilities to bring ASF to full operational capability. In the report accompanying the Senate version of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2016 (Senate Report 114-63), the Committee directed the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the congressional defense committees not later than 120 days after enactment, on AFRICOM's capabilities to engage the Regional Economic Communities. The report was to include an assessment of the military capacity shortfalls, to include logistics and airlift that must be addressed as African nations stand up a capable response force. To date, the report has not been delivered to the committees. The Committee expects an expeditious response from the Secretary of Defense to last year's request and expects that future reports will be delivered in a more timely manner. Special Victims' Counsel Program.--The Committee remains concerned with the level of sexual assault in the military and supports the Department's continuing efforts to strengthen its sexual assault prevention and response program. The needs of victims of sexual assault for legal advice and guidance are particularly acute. To ensure that the Department continues to make progress protecting a victim's confidentiality and ending alienation during the investigation and prosecution of their case, the Committee recommends an additional $25,000,000 for implementation of the Special Victims' Counsel Program across the services. Youth Serving Organizations.--The Committee recognizes that the dependent children of uniformed servicemembers often experience turbulence and instability during their developmental years as a result of frequent deployments, permanent change of station moves, and training requirements borne by their parents in the service of the nation. The Committee further recognizes the importance of youth outreach programs that provide military children opportunity and mentorship as they cope with the turbulence that often accompanies military service. Therefore, the Committee recommends an additional $5,000,000 to support youth serving organizations and to expand efforts to support free memberships for military children who reside off base and wish to join off- installation sponsored youth serving organizations.

Specifically, the dollar threshold for reprogramming funds will remain at $20,000,000 for procurement and $10,000,000 for research, development, test and evaluation. Also, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) is directed to continue to provide the congressional defense committees quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD Form 1416 reports for service and defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of this act. Reports for titles III and IV shall comply with guidance specified in the explanatory statement accompanying the Department of Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2006. The Department shall continue to follow the limitation that prior approval reprogrammings are set at either the specified dollar threshold or 20 percent of the procurement or research, development, test and evaluation line, whichever is less. These thresholds are cumulative from the base for reprogramming value as modified by any adjustments. Therefore, if the combined value of transfers into or out of a procurement (P-1), or a research, development, test and evaluation (R-1) line exceeds the identified threshold, the Secretary of Defense must submit a prior approval reprogramming to the congressional defense committees. In addition, guidelines on the application of prior approval reprogramming procedures for congressional special interest items are established elsewhere in this report. PROCUREMENT OVERVIEW 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 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. 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 the country to sustain in wartime and peacetime if 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 has not prioritized them in annual budget requests to Congress. In particular, the Nation's arsenals are at risk of not having the capacity to respond rapidly to meet the Department's needs. Addressing this concern, the Army in comments provided to the Government Accountability Office [GAO] in advance of its December 2015 report, Actions Needed to Identify and Sustain Critical Capabilities, the Army concurred with the GAO's recommendation that it must issue ``clear and detailed implementation guidance, such as an instruction or guidebook, on the process for conducting make-or-buy analysis in a consistent manner.'' The Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to issue such guidance as soon as possible. The Committee further directs the Secretary 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. Finally, the Committee notes that it has not yet received detailed recommendations from the Secretary of Defense on how the Air Force, Navy, and Marine Corps can better use the arsenals for their manufacturing needs, or what opportunities may exist for the arsenals to assist the services and the Defense Logistics Agency to procure for our spare parts inventory, as required by Senate Report 114-63. Physical Access Control Systems.--The Committee remains concerned with control systems at base access points and encourages the Department to continue efforts to standardize these systems across the services while finding the most affordable solutions. Equipment Modernization Reporting.--The Committee continues to support maintaining fully modernized reserve components. However, the methods used by the services to characterize and report the status of military equipment modernization hinder Congress' ability to determine relative levels of modernization across the active and reserve components. The services must establish and codify modernization principles that articulate the definition of the term ``modern equipment'' in such a way as to allow for transparent appropriation decisions. The Committee also notes that equipment listed on service divesture lists is not acceptable for characterization as ``modern'' if fielded to the reserve components. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to promulgate service standards for reporting modern equipment in time for those standards to be reflected in the National Guard and Reserve Equipment Report for Fiscal Year 2018. Equipment Transparency Report.--The Committee strongly supports the Department of Defense's policy of transparency and traceability of procurement funding for the reserve components. However, the Committee notes that the Department continues to have difficulty tracking funding requests for equipment for the reserve components. The Equipment Transparency Report, intended to provide such visibility, lacks the consistency and reliability needed to be definitive and is, by the Department's own admission, unreliable. The Committee supports the practice of including reserve component funding requests in parent service budgets, but seeks a clearer way to determine the impact of funding on actual equipment procurement. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a report to the congressional defense committees, not later than 180 days after enactment of this act, outlining improvements or alternatives to the Equipment Transparency Report. MUOS.--The Committee has previously noted the lack of alignment between the space, ground, and user equipment segments on various space-based acquisition programs. The Mobile User Objective System [MUOS] program has a satellite constellation in orbit but few communications terminals carrying the MUOS waveform software. The Committee directs the Assistant Secretaries for Acquisition for both the Air Force and the Navy to provide to the congressional defense committees, not later than 180 days after enactment of this act, their respective plans to enable current and future communications systems with the MUOS capability, including a timeline for fielding of the capability. Renewables on Military Installations.--The Committee recognizes the importance of properly building, maintaining and monitoring renewable energy projects on Federal military installations. Further, the Committee encourages the Department to contract with private entities that operate North American Electric Reliability Corporation [NERC] compliant monitoring centers; offer training programs for governmental employees; and have an established Environment, Health and Safety standards program when procuring renewable energy. Buy American Compliance.--The Committee is concerned with two separate Inspector General reports, required by the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014, that found both the Air Force and Navy were not in compliance with the Buy American Act and Berry Amendment. Ensuring appropriate domestic source requirements are included in contracts and strict adherence to these requirements are vital to the health of the Defense industrial base. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to dedicate resources to expand training and ensure compliance with the Buy American and Berry Amendment. Domestic Footwear.--The Committee acknowledges that S. 2943, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017, as reported, seeks to amend section 418 of title 37 United States Code to address compliance with domestic source requirements for footwear furnished to enlisted members of the Armed Forces upon their initial entry into the Armed Forces. RQ-7 Shadow.--The Committee understands that the Department of the Army is requesting $71,169,000 to upgrade the RQ-7 Shadow unmanned aerial vehicle. The Committee is supportive of the upgrade, but is concerned with the lack of competition. In previous budget requests, the new payload has been described as an alternative source. However, the Army has informed the Committee that the new payload is now being described as an upgraded capability to include high definition. As stated in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113), the Committee directed the Secretary of the Army to review the acquisition strategy for this upgrade to validate sufficient competition exists before awarding the contract. The Committee looks forward to the results of this review. Technology Procurement.--The Committee is concerned about the procurement of sensitive technologies (hardware, software, and services) and the potential transfer to nation states of concern. Further, the Committee directs the Department of Defense to provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees on plans to mitigate risks posed by the procurement of sensitive technologies.

However, the Committee is concerned that the programmatic direction for these weapons is inconsistent with the Army's broader equipping objective, to reduce the soldier's load while increasing the capability and reliability of the weapons. The Committee directs the Secretary of the Army to submit a report to the congressional defense committees, not later than 90 days after enactment of this act that outlines the plan to sustain crew- served weapons and support the individual weapons industrial base.

------------------------------------------------------------------------ HMMWV Modernization.--The Committee recognizes the critical role that technologies like antilock brakes and electronic stability control play in mitigating rollover accidents, although such technologies are not common on military tactical wheeled vehicles. The Army and Marine Corps recently completed a congressionally mandated study of potential up-armored High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle [HMMWV] automotive improvements, which included such technologies. As a result of the Modernization Expanded Capability Vehicle-Automotive study, the Committee understands that safety-improvement technologies exist which could be applied to today's HMMWV fleet. The Committee encourages the Army to initiate the necessary engineering and logistical analyses necessary to develop and compete an engineering proposal for Army up-armored HMMWV safety improvement kits as an element of future modernization efforts for HMMWVs in the Regular Army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve fleets. HMMWV Ambulances.--The Committee notes that the average age of ground ambulance fleets within the active and reserve components of the Army is 28 years. At current levels of investment, these fleets will remain less than 25 percent modernized across the Future Years Defense Program, impairing the total Army's ability to execute its Federal and State missions. The Committee recommends an additional $110,000,000 for High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle ambulances, of which $50,000,000 is intended for the Regular Army, $40,000,000 for the Army National Guard and $20,000,000 for the Army Reserve. Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles.--The Committee supports the Army's plan to recompete the Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles [FMTV] program in light of the significant cost savings gained as a result of the 2010 competition. The Committee supports the Army's plan, as outlined in the fiscal year 2017 budget request, to continue to produce the current generation of FMTV through the beginning of production of the upgraded FMTV in 2020. This proposal will mitigate risk to the FMTV industrial base as the contract is recompeted. Tactical Bridging.--The Committee is aware that the Army is replacing its aging MK II Bridge Erection Boats [BEB] with a newly designed BEB upgraded to meet current survivability, transportability, and interoperability requirements. It will provide Regular Army, Army National Guard, and Army Reserve engineer bridge companies with enhanced capability to conduct bridging, dive support, rafting, and patrols. The program expects to transition to full rate production in fiscal year 2017 and eventually procure 379 vessels. The Committee encourages the Army maintain close oversight of production to keep program costs low and meet planned acquisition objectives. Radiation Detection Devices.--The Committee notes that shortfalls continue to exist within the reserve components in fielding the most current radiation detection devices, specifically personal dosimeters. To ensure our troops and domestic homeland first responders are provided with the best possible protection to monitor against nuclear exposure, the Committee encourages the Secretary of the Army to expedite the fielding of modern radiation detection equipment across the force.

Marine Corps Aviation Readiness.--The Committee is concerned about the state of Marine Corps aviation readiness but recognizes that there is a 4-year recovery effort underway to get aviation back up to the goal of T-2.0 readiness. While the fiscal year 2017 budget request maximizes throughput at maintenance depots, recent incidents and press reports about spare parts shortages indicate continued attention is necessary. The Committee therefore recommends additional funding in Aircraft Procurement, Navy for spare parts and other needs. The Committee urges the Navy and Marine Corps to continue to prioritize restoring aviation readiness. Navy Reserve Tactical Aircraft.--The Committee notes that the Navy submitted a report to Congress in March 2016 titled, Navy Reserve Tactical Aviation Force Recapitalization and Modernization. The two Navy Reserve F/A-18 squadrons identified in the report provide the Navy's active combat force with adversary support and also fulfill the strategic reserve mission. The Committee remains concerned about the Navy's Strike Fighter Inventory Management strategy, including the plan to recapitalize the Navy Reserve's aircraft. The Navy Reserve is strained to accomplish its missions and, to make matters worse, the aircraft fleet will begin to exceed its service life in the next 5 years. Therefore, the Committee directs the Navy to provide an update on the implementation of the Strike Fighter Inventory Management strategy, to include a 3-year recapitalization and funding plan for the Navy Reserve's two squadrons, with the submission of the fiscal year 2018 budget request.

recapitali zation project ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Polar Icebreaker Recapitalization Project.--As detailed in the report accompanying the Senate version of the fiscal year 2015 Department of Defense Appropriations Bill (Senate Report 113-211), the Committee is concerned that the United States is operating an icebreaker fleet consisting of only one heavy and one medium vessel. This falls short of U.S. requirements which independent analysis has determined requires three heavy and three medium icebreakers to cover our Nation's needs in the Arctic and Antarctic. Recognizing the strategic importance of polar operations to our Nation's future security and prosperity, the Committee strongly supports proposals to accelerate new construction of icebreaker ships. In August of last year, the President of the United States visited the Arctic and upon his return announced plans to accelerate planned icebreaker construction from 2022 to 2020. During this announcement, the President expressed his commitment to work with Congress to make sure the United States produces an icebreaker fleet sufficient to meet our economic, commercial, maritime and national security needs. The Committee believes this was an important step to ensuring year-round access to the Polar Regions and increasing U.S. Government's capability in these areas. Further, the current age and condition of the operational U.S. polar icebreaker fleet, the Polar Star and the Healy, validates the need to pursue an accelerated replacement timeline. The Polar Star entered service in 1976 and is now well beyond its original 30-year service life. The ship was refurbished and reentered service in 2012 for an intended additional service period of 7 to 10 years--ending between 2019 and 2022. The Healy, the last icebreaker produced for the U.S. Government, was funded more than 25 years ago by the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 1990 (Public Law 101-165). While the effort to speed polar icebreaker acquisition by 2 years is commendable, the Committee believes more must be done now to expand our capabilities and to defend interests in the Polar Regions. In addition to concerns about our current fleet, the Committee notes that Russia has roughly 40 operational icebreakers and 11 icebreakers either planned or under construction. Therefore, to further accelerate production, the Committee recommends $1,000,000,000 in the ``Shipbuilding and Conversion, Navy'' account to construct domestically the first U.S. Coast Guard operated ship for the Polar Icebreaker Recapitalization Project. In order to achieve an earlier start on this project and to reduce cost and schedule risk, the Committee encourages the selection of an in-service U.S. hull design and the setting of limitations on overall ship specifications and requirements. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense in coordination with the Secretary of Homeland Security to submit a report to the appropriate congressional committees not later than September 30, 2016 which provides polar icebreaker requirements, preferred design, overall acquisition strategy, and a breakout of funds necessary to support the acquisition. Expeditionary Fast Transport [EFT].--The Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113) provided funds for a 12th Expeditionary Fast Transport ship, formerly known as the Joint High Speed Vessel. The Committee has supported the construction of additional EFTs and notes a previous requirement for 18 ships. The Department decided to assume risk with the overall ship requirement due to fiscal constraints and reduced the program procurement objective when it submitted its budget for fiscal year 2013. As these ships are deployed, the Committee understands that Combatant and Fleet Commanders are identifying additional missions for the ships since they provide a means for fast intra-theater transportation of troops, military vehicles and equipment which thereby free up the more limited high-end platforms for more appropriate missions.

First, the fiscal year 2017 request was originally planned to be the first year of full rate production with a maximum production quantity of 15 aircraft per year, requiring approval from the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics [AT&L]. Unfortunately, the full rate production decision has been delayed and the fiscal year 2017 aircraft buy was downgraded to a low rate initial buy at the same quantity but without a formal review by AT&L. Second, the program has only completed roughly 20 percent of development flight test and recently identified a critical issue with the refueling boom. The Air Force is still performing testing to determine if the solution requires software or hardware changes, or both. Third, the Committee is concerned with the numerous delays in key milestones. Specifically, the approval to begin production (milestone C) has slipped 10-11 months; initial operational test and evaluation has slipped 11 months; and delivery of the first aircraft has slipped 9 months. The current schedule indicates that all of these milestones are now projected to occur near the contractually established delivery dates leaving little schedule margin to meet the required assets availability requirement of August 2018. The Committee fully funds the fiscal year 2017 budget request to maintain the acquisition strategy, with concerns noted above, and directs Secretary of the Air Force to continue providing quarterly program updates. UH-1 Replacement.--The Committee recognizes the urgent need to replace the current Air Force fleet of UH-1N aircraft supporting the emergency response mission of the intercontinental ballistic missile [ICBM] sites. Therefore, the Committee recommends $75,000,000 for the Air Force and directs the Air Force to expedite procurement of replacement aircraft in compliance with 10 U.S.C. 2304. Additionally, the Committee directs the Commander of the United States Strategic Command [USSTRATCOM], not later than 30 days after the date of enactment of this act, to submit a classified report to the congressional defense committees that includes (1) a description of potential threats to the security of ICBM sites as a result of the UH-1N not meeting current mission requirements; (2) a list of helicopter capabilities needed to meet current mission requirements; (3) the minimum number of aircraft needed for emergency response mission; and (4) an assessment of the security risks associated with any shortfalls identified. Therefore, until the UH-1N aircraft supporting the ICBM sites are replaced, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of the Air Force, Secretary of the Army, and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, to mitigate the air support security risks with additional air support. Further, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense, not later than 180 days after the date of enactment of this act, to submit a report, with certification from the Commander, USSTRATCOM, that the security risk mitigation actions taken do effectively address the shortfalls identified by the report from USSTRATCOM. Compass Call.--In fiscal year 2016, the Air Force requested to retire six Compass Call aircraft. Due to the unique and high demand capability that the Compass Call aircraft provide, the Committee directed the Air Force to maintain the entire fleet. Recently, the Air Force revised the operating requirements of the Compass Call aircraft and submitted a proposal that would begin procurement of new aircraft onto which the current equipment would be re-hosted. Because the Committee supports the Compass Call mission and acknowledges the fact that the current aircraft are expensive to operate and do not meet the revised operating requirements, in fiscal year 2017 the Committee recommends $103,000,000 and directs the Air Force to expedite procurement of new aircraft in compliance with 10 U.S. Code 2304. F-22 Modernization.--The Committee recognizes the increased operational use of the F-22 Raptor and notes that the Air Force is challenged to balance the operational demands and training needs for this platform. Currently, the Air Force retains 31 F- 22 Raptors at Tyndall Air Force for pilot training. The Committee believes that, if the need were to arise, these training aircraft could be used to supplement the combat fleet for operational missions. However, the Committee is concerned that the Air Force is not updating the training fleet with the same capability as the operational fleet. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to provide to the congressional defense committees, not later than 120 days after enactment of this act, an analysis of the cost and schedule required to rapidly modernize the 31 remaining Block 20 training F-22 Raptor aircraft based at Tyndall Air Force Base up to the full Increment 3.2B combat configuration. Joint Surveillance Target Attack Radar System [JSTARS].-- The Committee supports the JSTARS recapitalization program, an essential warfighting capability. The Committee expects the Air Force will take no action to prematurely retire E-8C aircraft until the new capability delivers. Accordingly, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to fund all necessary modifications of the E-8C fleet and maintain all E-8C aircraft in a common configuration to support world-wide missions, avoid the degradation of mission performance, and meet combatant commander requirements. National Guard Air Superiority Mission.--The Committee recognizes the benefit to the U.S. Northern Command combatant commander, responsible for homeland defense, to have access to lethal air superiority aircraft that are able to perform the air superiority mission for extended periods of time, with only limited air refueling assets. The Committee encourages the Air Force to review the benefits and costs of fully equipping Air National Guard F-15C/D aircraft with conformal fuel tanks and additional weapons stations to enhance homeland defense capability.

In the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113), Congress expressed concern with the Air Force's 2016 budget request that accelerated GPS III launches ahead of the plan laid out in the 2015 budget request. Congress noted concerns that delays in the Operational Control Segment [OCX] ground system that is needed to launch, checkout, and ultimately integrate and operate the GPS III satellites with the legacy GPS architecture will not be ready for many years after the Air Force plans to launch several of the GPS III satellites. Furthermore, the Department of Defense has been unable to provide Congress with a validation of the requirements for accelerating GPS III launches ahead of the 2015 schedule as required in the 2016 Act. Despite these concerns and additional delays in the OCX system, the 2017 budget request outlines a plan to launch six satellites before 2019, the earliest the Air Force expects to have a Contingency Operations [COps] solution that would enable operation of the GPS III satellites in the constellation. The Director, Operational Test and Evaluation [DOT&E] noted in a January 2016 memorandum to the Secretary of Defense, however, that the proposed COps schedule is ``grossly optimistic and unrealistic.'' Additionally, the Air Force plans to launch another three GPS III satellites before the end of 2021. The Committee sees no justification for launching so many satellites without a system in place to operate them. The Committee, therefore, recommends a reduction of $295,000,000 in the EELV program for two GPS III launch services in 2017 which are ahead of need. In addition, the Committee recommends a reduction of $200,000,000 for EELV launch capability for those launches and two launches in 2016 that will not be awarded due to congressional termination of one launch in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113) and an Air Force movement of the other launch award to an earlier fiscal year. Finally, the Committee recommends a rescission of $157,000,000 for the 2016 EELV launch service which the Air Force moved to an earlier award date, but for which funding remained in the fiscal year 2016 budget.

Therefore, the Committee increases funding for DPA by $20,000,000 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 (Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics) to notify the congressional defense committees 30 days prior to any obligation or expenditure of these funds. 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 2017 budget requests a total of $71,391,771,000 for research, development, test and evaluation appropriations. SUMMARY OF COMMITTEE ACTION The Committee recommends research, development, test and evaluation appropriations totaling $70,800,794,000 for fiscal year 2017. This is $590,977,000 below the budget estimate. Committee recommended research, development, test and evaluation appropriations for fiscal year 2017 are summarized below: SUMMARY OF RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION APPROPRIATIONS [In thousands of dollars] ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Change from Account 2017 budget Committee budget estimate recommendation estimate ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Research, Development, Test and Evaluation: Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Army............ 7,515,399 7,767,010 +251,611 Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy............ 17,276,301 16,877,818 -398,483 Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Air Force....... 28,112,251 27,490,944 -621,307 Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Defense-Wide.... 18,308,826 18,478,028 +169,202 Operational Test and Evaluation, Defense.................... 178,994 186,994 +8,000 ----------------------------------------------- Total..................................................... 71,391,771 70,800,794 -590,977 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- REPROGRAMMING GUIDANCE FOR ACQUISITION ACCOUNTS The Secretary of Defense is directed to continue to follow the reprogramming guidance as specified in the report accompanying the House version of the Department of Defense appropriations bill for fiscal year 2008 (House Report 110- 279). Specifically, the dollar threshold for reprogramming funds will remain at $20,000,000 for procurement and $10,000,000 for research, development, test and evaluation. Also, the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) is directed to continue to provide the congressional defense committees quarterly, spreadsheet-based DD Form 1416 reports for service and defense-wide accounts in titles III and IV of this act. Reports for titles III and IV shall comply with guidance specified in the explanatory statement accompanying the Department of Defense Appropriations Act for Fiscal Year 2006. The Department shall continue to follow the limitation that prior approval reprogrammings are set at either the specified dollar threshold or 20 percent of the procurement or research, development, test and evaluation line, whichever is less. These thresholds are cumulative from the base for reprogramming value as modified by any adjustments. Therefore, if the combined value of transfers into or out of a procurement (P-1), or a research, development, test and evaluation (R-1) line exceeds the identified threshold, the Secretary of Defense must submit a prior approval reprogramming to the congressional defense committees. In addition, guidelines on the application of prior approval reprogramming procedures for congressional special interest items are established elsewhere in this report. RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, TEST AND EVALUATION OVERVIEW Use of Research, Development, Test and Evaluation funds to procure end-items.--As in previous years, the Committee retains a general provision, section 8057, prohibiting the use of funds appropriated in title IV of this act to procure end-items for delivery to military forces for operational training, operational use or inventory requirements with the exception of end-items used in development, prototyping, and test activities preceding and leading to acceptance for operational use. The Committee notes a marked increase in the use of title IV funds under these exceptions and directs the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology, Logistics), in conjunction with the Assistant Secretary of the Army (Acquisition, Logistics and Technology), the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development and Acquisition), the Deputy Commandant (Combat Development and Integration), the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Acquisition), and the Acquisition Executive, Special Operations Command, to provide no later than submission of the fiscal year 2018 President's budget request a report to the congressional defense committees detailing by fiscal year for each military service, all prototypes or other end-items funded with title IV funds planned for operational use. The report shall cover each of the previous three fiscal years and each fiscal year in the Fiscal Year 2018 Future Years Defense Program. Basic Research.--The fiscal year 2017 budget request includes $2,101,832,000 for basic research in Research, Development, Test and Evaluation for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Department of Defense. This amount is $207,364,000 below the amount appropriated in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113). The Committee believes that further investment in basic research must continue and is concerned with the minor increases being made in basic research. The Army, Air Force and the Department of Defense made only modest increases in basic research in fiscal year 2017 compared with the fiscal year 2016 request. Most alarming was the Navy's reduction in basic research funding which decreased by $43,958,000 in fiscal year 2017 compared with the fiscal year 2016 request. Basic research is the foundation of innovative breakthroughs that are critical to maintaining the Nation's future technological edge. Investments in basic research not only provide advances in technology for our military men and women but also provide an important incubator for national labs and academic research institutions. These investments also encourage partnerships and collaboration with industry. In order to keep pace with the global challenges to come, the Committee believes that additional funding should be allocated to Federal research. Therefore, the Committee recommends $2,264,832,000 for basic research, an increase of $163,000,000 over the fiscal year 2017 budget request. Alternative Energy Research.--The Committee continues to support the fiscal and operational value of investing in alternative energy research. The Committee recommends an additional $55,000,000 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 focus on the ability of platforms, installations, and personnel to operate with diverse mix of fuels. Department of Defense Laboratory Alternative Governance Assessment Pilot Program.--The Committee encourages the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research, Development and Engineering to conduct a study evaluating alternative governance models for Department of Defense laboratories. This review should build upon previous work and may result in a pilot program that permits the laboratories selected to implement new management approaches and governance methods that improve autonomy, decision-making and technology transfer opportunities.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Improved Turbine Engine Program [ITEP].--The fiscal year 2017 budget request includes $126,105,000 for the Improved Turbine Engine Program [ITEP]. The Army's acquisition strategy for ITEP includes contracting with no less than two engine developers through Milestone B to ensure competition in the program. The Committee is fully supportive of this approach and has provided the necessary resources to fully fund this strategy; however, the Committee notes that the Preliminary Design Review contract has been delayed at least 6 months and is now scheduled to be awarded toward the end of fiscal year 2016, which leaves excess funds in the program. Therefore, the Committee recommends a reduction of $30,000,000 to the fiscal year 2017 budget request to account for this schedule slip but expects the Army to maintain its dual vendor strategy in order to reduce risk, achieve appropriate technology maturity, and set the conditions for ultimate program success. Modular Handgun System.--The Committee understands that the Army is currently considering the acceleration of the Modular Handgun System [MHS] program. As the Army moves forward in testing and source selection, the Committee encourages the Army to evaluate an upgraded configuration of the current handgun in addition to other available off-the-shelf handguns as cost- effective alternatives that may satisfy the requirements of the MHS program. Material Development, Characterization, and Computational Modeling.--The Committee recognizes the importance of evaluating materials and technologies as well as designing and developing methodologies and models to enable enhanced lethality and survivability. Methods such as computational research allow for the development of models that predict the mechanical properties of materials that are used in research and development at the U.S. Army Research Laboratory [ARL]. These models and simulations, which are based on quantum mechanics, statistical mechanics principles, and thermodynamic simulations, and are tested via cold spray synthesis and mechanical testing, provide a cost savings to the Department of Defense by simulating materials prior to testing them to ensure mechanical properties will work together. Additionally, these methodologies allow for the enhanced development of technologies such as lightweight armors, protective structures, kinetic energy active protection, ballistic shock and mine blast protection, helmet technologies to prevent traumatic brain injury, and numerous other uses. The Committee encourages ARL to continue the utilization of computational modeling and simulations research to achieve greater cost savings. Optimization of Ammunition Manufacturing.--The Committee understands that the Army is the single manager for conventional ammunition for the Department of Defense and is responsible for ensuring effective life cycle management of conventional ammunition products. This includes development and optimization of ammunition manufacturing processes as well as development and integration of new materials. The Committee believes that the manufacturing of conventional ammunition could be assisted by automating and optimizing propellant production processes and integrating new materials. These processes and materials may reduce cost, increase ammunition performance and enhance soldier safety; and the Committee encourages the Secretary of the Army to equip the national technical industrial base with new and emerging manufacturing processes and materials in order to achieve these goals. Strategic Materials Research.--The Committee continues to recognize the importance of the Army Research Laboratory [ARL] in expanding research, education and technology development efforts in materials and metals processing science and engineering, aiming to transform the affordability, performance, and environmental sustainability of strategic materials. The Committee further notes that ARL's Open Campus concept benefits the Army, the academic community, and industry through collaboration involving ARL's research staff and facilities, leading to continued technological superiority for the U.S. warfighter. The Committee encourages the Army to consider accelerating expansion of its Open Campus approach to its Materials and Manufacturing Science laboratories to benefit strategic materials research. Materials in Extreme Dynamic Environments Program.--The Committee recognizes the critical role of the Army's Materials in Extreme Dynamic Environments program in strengthening the domestic capability to develop and manufacture essential protection materials and encourages the Army to continue this work, which serves the national interest. Robotic Environmental Remediation of Army Ranges.--The Committee understands that the Army has launched a robotic- centric environmental remediation program aimed at cleaning up decades of unexploded ordinance contamination at U.S. Army ranges with tele-operated heavy equipment. The Committee encourages the Army to increase the fleet of robotic applique kits that remotely control a variety of vehicles leveraging fully modernized vehicle control systems. Simulation Training.--The Committee acknowledges that simulation training is a cost-effective means by which military units can improve tactical decision-making skills and readiness in realistic scenarios otherwise found only in theater combat operations. The Committee encourages the Department to continue expansion of simulation training and seek the appropriate combination of government-owned and operated simulators as well as contractor support in order to maximize efficiency and effectiveness. Assessment of Degraded Visual Environment Technology.--The Committee encourages the Army to ensure that operational testing protocols for products under development to assist flight crews during situations of degraded visual environment are of the highest quality, based on the best scientific knowledge of the complex dynamics of dust brownout and standardized, to the maximum extent possible, to fairly evaluate and test all technologies under the extreme conditions required by the Army. This will ensure that all field testing is fair to all competing vendors, increase cost-effectiveness of field testing through the development of realistic and manageable test conditions and ensure that the technology deployed for warfighters has been adequately tested for operational conditions. Human Factors Engineering Technology.--The Committee supports the Department's continued efforts to support research into aspects of human factors engineering that impact the capabilities of soldiers. The Committee notes that the Department plans to fund Continuous Multi-Faceted Soldier Characterization for Adaptive Technologies starting in fiscal year 2017. As part of this effort, the Committee encourages the Department to prioritize development of a biosensor ecosystem capable of continuous monitoring of the solider, including the measure of hydration, stress, nutrition, body temperature, and other data needed to model soldier performance. This research should also look to enable longitudinal, long-term, real-world measurement of physiological and behavioral patterns. Tactical Communications and Protective System [TCAPS] Lite.--The Committee is aware that the Army has been updating standards for issuing the Tactical Communications and Protective System [TCAPS] Lite to soldiers. This update will ensure the majority of soldiers who do not carry mobile tactical radios will be issued TCAPS Lite which minimizes training and battlefield hearing loss, improves overall situational awareness and increases mission effectiveness, safety, and survivability. Therefore, the Department of the Army is encouraged to complete the update to the standards and ensure TCAPS Lite is promptly issued to soldiers. Long-Range Threat Detection.--The Committee recognizes long-range Deep Ultraviolet Raman Spectroscopy technology provides effective threat detection of explosives and that this technology has been extended to chemical warfare agents, nuclear weapon processing chemicals, narcotics, and hazardous materials. The Army Research Laboratory is commended for developing these multiple application, cost-effective sense systems and is encouraged to continue its research in this area. Army Test Ranges and Facilities.--The Committee supports funds used for delayed maintenance as identified as a high priority by the Army. Test and evaluation is critical to the success of warfighters' weapons and equipment, providing them an unprecedented technological advantage on the battlefield. At the core of this advantage is the ability of the Department of the Army to effectively test and retest its weapons systems and equipment which requires continuing basic maintenance of Army test ranges and facilities. Operational Test and Evaluation Support for Yuma Proving Ground.--The Committee encourages the Army to ensure that test facilities used for operational testing of equipment for use in extreme environments have adequate characterization of key environmental variables (e.g. soil, terrain and vegetation) to support development of the next generation of military equipment. Specific efforts should include extended capabilities for collection, processing, and creation of environmental information required to increase test efficiency. Manufacturing Technologies for Nanoscale to Microscale Materials for Armaments and Munitions.--The Committee understands that advances in manufacturing using nanoscale and microscale technologies have the potential to increase the performance of essential U.S. Army armament and munitions applications. Technological advancements in the materials, materials processing, and parts fabrication have the potential to reduce acquisition and total ownership costs for the Department of Defense. The Committee notes that Manufacturing Readiness Levels lag behind Technology Readiness Levels for advanced armament technologies and encourages the Army to continue its work in nanoscale and microscale munitions and armaments technologies.

The Committee notes that following an Analysis of Alternatives in 2013, the Navy approved a Capabilities Development Document and achieved Milestone A for LDUUV in 2015. In addition, with submission of the fiscal year 2017 President's budget, the Navy changed its acquisition strategy from competing among multiple industry designs to retaining prototype fabrication of two LDUUVs in-house. The Committee further notes that while the Navy has not yet defined its autonomous undersea vehicle requirements, the Navy has projected an inventory of 12 LDUUVs by 2025. The Committee recommends full funding of $70,100,000 requested in science and technology for LDUUV technologies, an increase of $7,900,000 over amounts enacted in fiscal year 2016. In addition, the Committee recommends $24,600,000, as requested, for LDUUV experimentation, risk reduction and technology maturation, an increase of $18,000,000 over amounts enacted in fiscal year 2016. Due to concurrent science and technology, technology maturation, risk reduction and design efforts, as well as concerns with the revised acquisition strategy in light of future LDUUV requirements, the Committee does not recommend funding for prototype design of two LDUUVs, a reduction of $43,000,000 from the request. Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicle [XLUUV].--The fiscal year 2017 President's budget request includes $78,589,000 in fiscal year 2017 for the development and deployment of five XLUUV prototypes and associated technologies. The Committee is aware of an operational need for an advanced maritime mining capability and of multiple material solutions under consideration. The Committee notes the Navy's apparent intent to sole source acquisition of five XLUUVs while concurrently leasing vehicles from industry to support the development of concept of operations and tactics, training and procedures by the Fleet. The Committee recommends $4,000,000 for the lease of multiple commercial vehicles for that purpose, as requested. The Committee recommends no funds for additional activities in this program element. Offensive Anti-Surface Warfare Weapon [OASuW].--The fiscal year 2017 President's budget request includes $250,371,000 for continued development of OASuW Increment I, and $2,038,000 to begin development of OASuW Increment II. The Committee notes that this program was initiated through an accelerated acquisition in February 2014 in response to a U.S. Pacific Fleet urgent operational need to provide an early operational capability on the B-1 in fiscal year 2018 and on the F/A-18E/F in fiscal year 2019. The Committee further notes that the Navy recently concluded an updated program cost estimate and that the Navy's fiscal year 2017 budget request places the OASuW Increment I early operational capability fielding schedule at risk by several months. Therefore, the Committee recommends an additional $50,600,000 for OASuW Increment I, the fiscal year 2017 shortfall identified by the Navy, to maintain the OASuW Increment I schedule, and recommends no funds to initiate OASuW Increment II in order to minimize program risk. P-8A Poseidon.--The fiscal year 2017 President's budget request includes $182,220,000 for continued development of P-8A Poseidon Increment III. The Committee notes that recent estimates put the cost of P-8A Poseidon Increment III at over $1,000,000,000 and that after the fiscal year 2017 President's budget request was submitted, the Under Secretary of Defense (Acquisition, Technology and Logistics) approved, at the Navy's request, the incorporation of Increment III capabilities into the P-8A via engineering change proposals [ECPs), instead of developing these capabilities through a separate acquisition program. The Committee understands that under this revised acquisition strategy the Navy will field Increment III capabilities in a series of four ECPs, based on technical maturity. The Committee recommends $76,300,000 for the first two ECPs, as requested, but notes that the critical enabler for the remaining two ECPs, the combat systems architecture, is being developed concurrently with these ECPs. The Committee finds this concurrent development approach to be high risk, and recommends $36,000,000 for combat systems architecture development, as requested, but no funding the last two ECPs of Increment III, a reduction of $69,900,000 from the request. MQ-4C Triton.--The fiscal year 2017 President's budget request includes $111,729,000 for continued development of the MQ-4C Triton, an increase of $106,500,000 over amounts previously projected to be required in fiscal year 2017. In addition, the fiscal year 2017 President's budget request includes $181,266,000 for modernization of the MQ-4C Triton, an increase of $51,374,000 over amounts enacted in fiscal year 2016, and $39,800,000 for development of a multi-intelligence sensor to be incorporated onto MQ-4C Triton during its modernization. The Committee notes the continued program delays for both the baseline and modernization programs, including an extension of baseline System Development and Demonstration efforts and delays to design reviews for the modernization program. In addition, the Committee notes the deferral of certain capabilities from the baseline to the modernization program. Finally, the Committee understands that the Navy is considering a potential restructure of the MQ-4C Triton program. Therefore, the Committee recommends full funding of the baseline capability, but no increase for MQ-4C Triton modernization, a reduction of $50,000,000 from the request to reduce program concurrency. In addition, the Committee notes that the multi-intelligence sensor development has not been adjusted to reflect delays to Triton modernization, and accordingly recommends an $8,200,000 reduction to the request. Synthetic Biology.--The Committee recognizes the potential for synthetic biology to enable the manufacture of pharmaceuticals, fuels, and industrial chemicals using environmentally low impact and cost effective processes. The Committee urges the Department of Defense, through the Office of Naval Research, to support basic research and engineering on the rapid development of cell-free biosynthesis of commercially important molecules, by combining high throughput screening methods, rapid protein production, and computational analysis. Materials Research.--The Committee urges the Office of Naval Research to support research and development that addresses materials homogeneity and integration related to electronic and photonic technologies. The results of fundamental electronic and photonic materials research can be more rapidly translated into military and commercial applications in portable electronics and displays, such as sensors, communications systems, power systems, and enemy monitoring technology. Navy Aircraft Fleet Readiness and Sustainment.--The Committee is aware of the Chief of Naval Operations' 2016 ``Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority,'' including its focus on strengthening the Navy team, building new partnerships and maintaining global superiority in a changing and challenging environment. The Committee notes that aircraft fleet readiness and sustainment is a critical component of this plan, but is concerned about the significant safety and readiness problems that plague the Navy and Marine Corps F/A-18 fighter jet fleet. The F/A-18 remains operational, yet the Naval Air Systems Command appears to lack a comprehensive plan to address the problems that degrade the aircraft. The Committee recognizes the valuable role university research institutions can offer to the Navy to address these challenges and to rapidly respond to new technology requirements with qualified technologists and engineers, and encourages the Naval Air Systems Command to partner with university laboratories that possess leading-edge capabilities in aviation-related full-scale structures and materials testing and evaluation to address the structural problems related to the F/A-18 fighter jet. The Committee further encourages Naval Air Systems Command to explore establishing a University Affiliated Research Center partnership with an institution possessing demonstrated capabilities in enhanced structures and materials, testing and evaluation that would result in a cost-savings for the Department of Defense. Force Protection Applied Research.--The Committee continues to support Navy efforts in force protection applied research, and recommends an increase of $15,000,000 for that purpose. The Committee notes that development and deployment of lithium-ion batteries are critical to Department of Defense missions, but that safety incidents restrict their operational use. Therefore, the Committee believes that the development and qualification of technologies to reduce the risk of thermal runaway and improve safety in lithium-ion batteries should be a research priority. In addition, the Committee remains concerned over the potential impact of an electrical grid failure on national security and recommends investments in resilient and reliable power sources and infrastructure to promote energy security and mission effectiveness. Navy Alternative and Renewable Energy Research.--The Committee recommends an increase of $20,000,000 for Navy alternative energy research and of $15,000,000 for Navy renewable energy research. The Committee notes the fiscal and operational value of investing in alternative energy research, and encourages the Navy to: expand ocean renewable energy testing; research development and deployment of maritime security systems; support at-sea surveillance and communications systems; and explore opportunities to reduce the cost of energy and increase energy security at coastal Department of Defense facilities. Further, the Committee encourages the Navy to invest in renewable energy demonstration activities relating to Department of Defense facilities and activities in coordination with other Federal agencies and entities. Interdisciplinary Cybersecurity Research.--The Committee notes the significant investment by the Department of Defense in basic cyber research in recent years. However, the Committee is concerned that this research does not fully consider the interdisciplinary nature of cyber systems and excludes consideration of the role of human behavior. The Committee encourages the Navy to invest in multidisciplinary research in the areas of dynamic cyber defense, tactical cyberspace operations, signals intelligence, and user-in-the-loop testing and evaluation. Marine Corps Asset Life Cycle Management.--The Committee supports the Marine Corps' efforts to substantially reduce costs associated with routine maintenance through further research and development in the areas of remanufacturing and vehicle and behavior monitoring. The Committee encourages the Office of Naval Research to assign adequate resources to continue its efforts in this area. Undersea Weapons Energetics Capabilities.--The Committee recommends continued investment in the development of advanced energetics capabilities focused on undersea weapons, and the development of a database of global energetics materials activities as they apply to undersea warfare. Flexible Sea-Based Force Projection.--Future Naval Capabilities programs include support to sea-based technologies to support operations that normally rely on shore-based infrastructure. Flexible sea based force projection technologies mitigate the impact of operating at sea and enable cargo transfers, surface connector interfaces and amphibious vehicle launch and recovery from a variety of both legacy and emerging platforms in the sea-based environment. These technologies expand operational availability both within the seabase and from seabase to shore that is critical in an A2/AD environment. The Committee recommends continued investment in these areas. Naval Power and Energy Systems Technology Development Roadmap.--The Committee notes the recommendations in the recently updated Naval Power and Energy Systems Technology Development Roadmap for development of advanced power electronics, including silicon carbide power modules, which can reduce the size and weight of power conversion modules and other electronic systems needed to power advanced sensors and weapons systems. The Committee encourages continued investments in cost reduction initiatives and qualification of silicon carbide power modules in order to enable planned deployment of high-power, mission-critical systems on Navy platforms as early as fiscal year 2022. Condition-Based Maintenance.--The Committee is aware of the Navy's continued development and implementation of condition- based maintenance solutions and notes that such efforts can provide demonstrable improvements in fleet readiness. The Committee encourages the Navy to adapt the lessons learned from Littoral Combat Ships combat systems condition-based maintenance efforts to other ship classes, to include weapons systems on DDG-51 Destroyers. Jet Noise Reduction Development.--The Committee understands the difficulties near-field and far-field aircraft engine noise poses for communities surrounding military installations as well as servicemembers who work in close proximity to military aircraft. Hearing loss, in particular, is a mounting concern for servicemembers and veterans who have spent their careers in and around military aviation. The Committee is aware that the Navy has long pursued noise reduction solutions for low bypass military jet engines and is encouraged by the noise reduction potential of variable exhaust nozzle seal chevron technology currently being pursued by the F/A-18 and EA-18G Program Office. The Committee recommends an additional $2,000,000 for jet noise reduction and urges the Navy to aggressively pursue research of this technology. Barking Sands Tactical Underwater Range [BARSTUR].--The Committee is concerned about the state of readiness and modernization of tactical test ranges that support undersea warfare missions, particularly given the state of evolving global threats in the undersea domain and the advanced age of some of the Navy's tactical underwater ranges. The Committee notes that the Barking Sands Tactical Underwater Range [BARSTUR] is beyond its service life, has degraded capability, and is beyond repair. The Committee further notes that the Commander, Submarine Forces, U.S. Pacific Fleet, has documented concerns that test capabilities in this mission area are not on a path to support future Navy requirements. Therefore, the Secretary of the Navy is directed to submit a complete program execution plan for BARSTUR replacement and modernization to the congressional defense committees, to include full program costs, not later than 60 days after the date of enactment of this act. U.S. Marine Corps Unmanned Rotary Aircraft.--The Committee notes the successful deployment to Afghanistan of unmanned rotary aircraft. The Committee encourages the Marine Corps to continue to leverage this capability to address capability gaps identified into the 2016 Marine Corps Aviation Plan. Electronic Maneuver Warfare [EMW].--The Committee notes the inclusion and expanded definition of electronic maneuver warfare [EMW] concepts in the Chief, Naval Operations' 2016 Design for Maintaining Maritime Superiority. The Committee further notes the game changing capabilities electronic maneuver warfare provides in denied environments, and its contributions to the Third Offset Strategy. The Committee believes that continued investments in EMW are warranted and notes that planning, programming and budgeting for EMW through the regular budget process provides the greatest level of insight and stability into the Navy's future requirements and plan.

The rapid proliferation of UAS requires a comprehensive effort by Department of Defense to combat their use as a weapon. The Committee encourages the Air Force Research Laboratory to continue research and development of tactics using radar systems, advanced communications, and cyber security technologies to counter UAS threats. Long Range Strike Bomber.--The Committee notes that the Air Force recently announced the seven subcontractors that will produce various parts for the bomber program. The Committee also understands there is additional pressure on the Air Force to reveal further information, including roles of the subcontractors and the contract value for the prime contractor. The Committee recognizes that the value of additional program transparency must be balanced with the need for security protection. For example, additional details on the companies and subcontractors involved with the program could be of interest to foreign intelligence services for traditional or cyber espionage efforts. Therefore, the Committee directs the Inspector General of the Department of Defense to conduct a review of the security strategy, controls, and program protection plan and provide an assessment to the congressional defense committees on the findings not later than 60 days after enactment of this act. In addition, the Committee designates the long range strike bomber program as a congressional special interest item for purposes of transfer of funds and prior approval reprogramming procedures. Technology Transfer.--The Committee recognizes the importance of technology transfer between the Federal Government and non-Federal entities, such as academia, nonprofit organizations, and State and local governments. Technology transfer lowers the cost of new defense-related technology development and ensures that taxpayer investments in research and development benefit the economy and the industrial base. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to continue placing an increased focus on technology transfer programs by allocating sufficient funding and leveraging the work being performed by Federal laboratories. Air Force Alternative Energy.--The Committee recommends an additional $20,000,000 for Air Force alternative energy research. The Committee remains encouraged by the Air Force's energy conservation and efficiency initiatives, as well as its investment into promising renewable energy, such as hydrogen fuel. The Committee urges the Secretary of the Air Force to continue critical research in this field, including investments in adaptive engine technologies, biogasification and waste-to- energy, and other promising initiatives that can reduce the Air Force's reliance on conventional petroleum. Adaptive Engine Transition Program [AETP].--The Committee continues to support research and development in the next generation of turbine engine technology. The goal of AETP is to mature fuel efficient adaptive cycle engine technologies while reducing technical and manufacturing risks. The Committee fully funds the fiscal year 2017 request and encourages the Air Force to identify current and future programs for this technology insertion. Even though the Committee remains supportive of the program, the Committee notes that the budget justification for the program is incomplete and not transparent. While the AETP program is an early research and development and prototyping effort, the size and scope of planned investments, nearly $2,500,000,000 through fiscal year 2021, necessitate the same level of detail and transparency of an Acquisition Category [ACAT] 1D or Major Defense Acquisition Program [MDAP]. Therefore, the Committee directs the Air Force to provide more useful and complete R-2A, R-3, and R-4 budget justification documents in future budget requests, starting in fiscal year 2018, for the AETP program. Ground Based Strategic Deterrent.--In fiscal year 2017, the Air Force will begin competitive risk reduction of flight systems technologies as well as maturation of the weapon system preliminary design with the intent to decrease integration risk. The Committee commends the Air Force in transitioning to a leaner acquisition strategy early in the program's design phase that focuses on risk reduction of the entire, integrated system. The Committee believes addressing the biggest risks early in the program, while still in competition, will result in overall cost savings and align the program for success. In support of this new strategy, the Committee fully funds the fiscal year 2017 request. Multi-Intelligence Data Fusion.--The Committee understands that the Air Force Common Data Link Executive Agent program provides the Department of Defense standard for interoperable, multi-service, multi-agency, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance [ISR] datalinks for more than 10,000 manned and unmanned airborne and ground collection platforms. The Committee encourages the Air Force to develop technologies and standards to integrate collected data across these multiple collection platforms to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of intelligence analysis and battlefield decisionmaking. Long Range Stand-Off Weapon.--The fiscal year 2017 budget request includes $95,604,000 for the Long Range Standoff Weapon. The Committee continues to support the Air Force's program to develop a follow-on capability to the Air Launched Cruise Missile and recommends fully funding the request. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to cooperate with the Secretary of Energy, in conjunction with the Nuclear Weapons Council, on a report to the Committees on Appropriations of both the House and Senate on the W80 warhead and the Long Range Standoff Weapon, as delineated in Senate Report 114-236. Advanced Pilot Training Program.--The fiscal year 2017 budget request includes $12,377,000 to develop the Advanced Trainer Replacement to replace the T-38 aircraft and the associated ground-based training system. The average age of T- 38 aircraft is nearly 50 years and the fleet is reaching the end of its third service life. The Committee fully funds the fiscal year 2017 budget request and encourages the Air Force's Air Education and Training Command to accelerate Initial Operational Capability as the program moves forward. Separately, the Navy and the Air Force's Air Combat Command [ACC], who also operate T-38 aircraft, should leverage the Advanced Pilot Training Program. The Committee directs the Secretary of the Navy and the Commander of Air Combat Command to provide a business case analysis to congressional defense committees not later than 120 days after enactment of this act to begin considering alternatives for replacing their aging T- 38 trainers and adversary aircraft. F-15 Survivability.--The Committee supports the fiscal year 2017 request for the F-15 Eagle Passive/Active Warning and Survivability System [EPAWSS] program. The F-15 EPAWSS program is critical to the survivability and lethality of the fleet to counter current and future electronic warfare threats. Given the strategic importance of the program for homeland defense and overseas contingencies, the Committee encourages the Air Force to review its plan and funding through fiscal year 2021 to fully equip Air National Guard F-15 aircraft with EPAWSS. Joint Surveillance and Target Attack Radar System [JSTARS].--The fiscal year 2017 budget request includes $128,019,000 for the JSTARS recapitalization program, of which $102,800,000 supports a new radar risk reduction phase to mature two competing radars over an 18-month period through the end of fiscal year 2017. The Department of Defense [DOD] revised the JSTARS recapitalization program schedule, delaying the start of the Engineering and Manufacturing Development [EMD] phase to fiscal year 2018, extending the EMD phase from four to five and a half years, and delaying initial operational capability [IOC] to 2024 and full operational capability [FOC] to 2028. In the reports accompanying the Senate versions of the Department of Defense Appropriations Acts, 2015 and 2016 (Senate Reports 113-211 and 114-63), the Committee voiced its support of the JSTARS recapitalization program and directed the Air Force to accelerate the acquisition schedule. The JSTARS recapitalization program is necessary to replace an aging, low density, and high demand E8-C fleet. From the outset, the recapitalization program was primarily intended to be an integration effort of mature technologies onto an existing platform to achieve the most cost-effective and low risk solution. Instead, the DOD has delayed EMD and requested additional funds for radar risk reduction. The Committee believes there is less risk related to available systems and mature technologies and that the greater programmatic risk associated with integration of the radar and battle management, command, and control system onto a new aircraft be addressed earlier in the program. The Committee notes that the fiscal year 2017 request for JSTARS recapitalization does not support a timely fielding acquisition strategy. Therefore, the Committee directs that $102,800,000 of the request for radar risk reduction only be used to fund the EMD contract award or support the EMD source selection process. The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force and the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition, Technology, and Logistics to provide a briefing to the congressional defense committees not later than 90 days after enactment of this act on a compressed acquisition schedule and funding profile to achieve IOC and FOC as early as possible. F-16 Modernization.--The Committee understands that the advance of threats on U.S. aircraft have increased to a level where the F-16 struggles to maintain air superiority. The Committee further notes that without a funding plan to modernize the F-16 fleet, which will remain in the inventory for 15-20 additional years, the aircraft will be at a serious disadvantage when operating against both air-to-air and surface-to-air threats. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Air Force to ensure that the F-16 fleet is modernized appropriately to maintain air superiority against current and future threats. Simulation Training.--The Committee supports the Department of Defense's continued expansion of the full range of simulation training as a cost-effective means by which the military can improve tactical decision-making skills in realistic scenarios only found in theater combat operations. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to continue developing and supporting efficient simulation training programs through a combination of both government-owned and operated simulators, as well as support from industry that can provide frequent hardware and software updates. Arctic Domain Awareness.--The Committee remains concerned with the pace of needed development in the arctic region and specifically with arctic domain awareness. The Committee understands that the Department is still drafting a report that was due to the congressional defense committees in June 2015 outlining a plan to ensure arctic domain awareness coverage for the foreseeable future. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to submit the report as soon as possible, to include an assessment of the satellite communications capability in the region and potential to partner with Canada on the Canadian Weather Satellite mission. SPACE PROGRAMS Weather Satellite Follow-On.--The Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113) recommended that the Secretary of the Air Force focus resources on ensuring that the next generation of weather satellites meet the full spectrum of warfighter and intelligence requirements, and work with civil stakeholders to ensure that any other weather coverage gaps are met using appropriate civil or international weather assets. While the Air Force is moving forward with plans to meet key weather requirements with its Compact Ocean Wind Vector Radiometer technology demonstration and ultimately the Weather Satellite Follow-On, electro-optical/infrared needs for cloud characterization and weather forecasting, particularly in the CENTCOM theater of operations, are not addressed in the 2017 budget request. International partners have assisted in filling some coverage gaps, but as previously noted by the Committee, these are not long-term solutions and do not solve all coverage gaps. The Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to examine the possibility of using commercial weather data to supplement existing assets and fill coverage gaps in cloud characterization and weather forecasting. Additionally, the Committee again recommends that the Secretary of the Air Force work with military, civil, commercial, and international stakeholders to ensure that all warfighter and intelligence weather requirements are met with a long-term solution. Operationally Responsive Space.--The Committee recommends that the Operationally Responsive Space program continue research, development, and educational programs in launching small satellites designed and built by university students. These efforts can both advance state-of-the-art technology and help build the technological workforce needed in our space industry. Global Positioning System III Operational Control Segment.--The budget request for fiscal year 2017 includes $393,268,000 for the GPS III Operational Control Segment [OCX]. This ground system promises to provide improved accuracy, security, and anti-jamming protection and allow integration of the new GPS III satellites with the legacy GPS IIF constellation. In the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113), Congress raised concerns about development delays, so excessive that the OCX system will not be available for several years after the Air Force begins launching GPS III satellites. This has prompted the Air Force to contract for an interim solution to upgrade the current Operational Control System [OCS] ground system so that GPS III satellites can be integrated into the legacy architecture and operate as GPS IIFs. However, this interim solution will not enable all the capabilities of three generations of satellites--IIR-M, IIF, and IIIs--including Military code [M- code] capability, a key warfighting need. As the Air Force embarks on this interim solution, the OCX program remains in jeopardy. After several pauses, reassessments, and a joint Office of the Secretary of Defense and Air Force deep dive effort to address the root causes of the program failures, the feasibility of meeting a new 2-year schedule remains in question. Moreover, the program cost is now expected to be $2,300,000,000, a 160-percent increase over the original estimate of $886,000,000. The Government Accountability Office [GAO] reported that as of March 2016, after the deep dive, the program was continuing to experience significant technical challenges, part of a long historical pattern that has contributed to multiple delays and cost overruns. The GAO also questioned the 2-year additional schedule delay, nothing that the contractor and Air Force believed that a more than 4-year additional delay was likely necessary. The Committee is concerned that the program cannot correct course and meet the new schedule. Further delays and problems in the OCX program will only delay the operation of GPS III replenishment satellites and risk national security. The Committee believes the Air Force should work with the contractor to ensure that OCX Block 0, which will enable launch and checkout of GPS III satellites, is completed, and turn its focus toward ensuring that the interim OCS solution succeeds, on schedule and on budget. The Committee, therefore, reduces funding for the OCX program by $259,830,000, terminating Blocks 1 and 2. The Committee recommends funding for completion of Block 0 and adds $30,000,000 for enhancements to the OCS ground system that will enable M-code broadcast capabilities and ensure that our warfighters have this necessary capability in the most timely manner possible. Space Fence.--The Committee commends the Air Force for its execution of the Space Fence program and for recognition of the program by the Government Accountability Office as one of the few space programs currently on schedule and on budget. The program plans to complete installation, checkout, and test of the first radar site in fiscal year 2017 and deliver an initial operating capability in 2018 to dramatically improve identification and tracking of space objects. However, the Air Force has not yet moved forward on the second radar site, which will be essential for full operational capability. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of the Air Force to conduct an analysis and report to the congressional defense committees, not later than 180 days after enactment of this act, on the requirements, site options, and necessary timelines for construction and integration of Space Fence site 2 into the Space Surveillance Network to maximize the cost effectiveness of site 2 procurement and support the necessary improvements for geostationary orbit coverage.

Computing.--The Committee is aware of the National Institute of Standards and Technology [NIST] report on quantum computing technology. Additionally, the Committee is conscious of the work done by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency [DARPA] in the Quantum Information Science and Technology [QuIST] program to establish the first quantum key distribution network. The Committee believes more research and development by our defense national research organizations is warranted. The Committee encourages the Director of DARPA and the Secretary of Defense to work with the research labs to implement a university-based cybersecurity laboratory and photonics foundry with close involvement with industry partners, State government and the Federal Government to continue development of quantum computing capability. High Energy Laser.--The Committee is concerned with the funding levels for the primary test and evaluation facility for high energy laser [HEL] systems across the Department of Defense. With directed energy interest and work increasing in the third offset strategy, the Committee recommends the Department review the funding levels, identify, and correct shortfalls as necessary. Defense Innovation Unit-Experimental office [DIUX].--The Committee recommends $28,000,000 for the Defense Technology Innovation program to strengthen and build relationships with Silicon Valley technology firms with expertise in technology innovation. The Committee understands this is a high priority program for the Secretary of Defense. In order to insure visibility and transparency of the execution of these funds, the Committee requests quarterly updates on the Defense Innovation Unit-Experimental office and their efforts in leveraging innovation for the Department of Defense. Manufacturing Technology Program.--The Committee understands that metal castings play a significant role in ensuring Warfighter preparedness and that investment is needed in castings technology to maintain technological superiority in this advanced manufacturing industry. Therefore, the Committee recommends an additional $10,000,000 to support this program. Cloud-based Information Technology Solutions.--The Committee is encouraged by the Department Chief Information Officer's decision to pursue commercial, cloud-based solutions and systems. However, the Department of Defense Inspector General report (Report No. DODIG-2016-038) identified several concerns. The Committee directs the Department Chief Information Officer to complete a report and submit it to the congressional defense committees 120 days after enactment of this act. This report shall include current plans for the expansion of commercial cloud computing to leverage paying for only the services consumed, plans for developing security guidelines that encourage partnerships with commercial cloud providers, any factors delaying or inhibiting the expansion of commercial cloud computing usage, and the cost savings achieved in fiscal year 2016 by the utilization of commercial cloud computing services. Conventional Prompt Global Strike.--The Committee supports the Department of Defense program to develop and demonstrate technologies that advance the conventional prompt global strike capability. The Committee is aware of ongoing test review efforts and understands that the Department of Defense plans to complete additional testing in the near term. The Committee further notes that Congress has appropriated $1,073,276,000 through fiscal year 2016 and the Committee recommends $101,303,000 in fiscal year 2017, a $12,643,000 increase above fiscal year 2016 enacted amounts. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to maintain the currently programmed funding profile of $881,620,000 from fiscal years 2018 through 2020, given the strategic importance of the program, and urges the Department of Defense to finalize manufacturing and testing of the hypersonic glide body and booster. Trusted Microelectronics Development and Support.--The Committee is concerned with maintaining supply chain assurance against counterfeit parts and ensuring ready access to trusted microelectronics. In April 2016, the Department of Defense and Global Foundries agreed to a 3-year procurement strategy for trusted parts; the Committee does not have confidence in the long-term roadmap to establish a future trusted microelectronics solution. While the fiscal year 2017 budget request includes $47,800,000 to establish a new trust approach in this arena, the Committee is concerned with this insufficient level of funding and the time needed to validate potential solutions. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a quarterly updates on efforts to maintain a trusted microelectronics capability within the United States. Unmanned Aircraft System [UAS] Common Development.--The Committee notes the designation by the Federal Aviation Administration [FAA] of the UAS national test sites and selection of the FAA UAS Center of Excellence to expand the use of UAS in the National Airspace System [NAS]. The Committee recognizes that research activities will lead to policies and standards governing future domestic UAS operations, including Department of Defense operations. The Committee recommends an additional $4,000,000 for Unmanned Aircraft System Common Development and urges the Secretary of Defense to coordinate with the Administrator of Federal Aviation Administration in the development and demonstration of common UAS standards, architectures and technologies to ensure a consistent, nationwide approach to airspace integration across both civil and public sectors. Department of Defense Small Business Innovation Research [SBIR].--The Committee recognizes the importance of the Small Business Innovation Research [SBIR] program and its success in commercialization from federally funded research and development projects. The SBIR program creates opportunities for domestic small businesses to engage in Federal research and development in an effort to create new jobs and markets for advanced technologies. The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to continue placing an increased focus on firms new to the SBIR program and those companies that employ fewer than 50 people. The Committee also believes that SBIR should provide resources to assist these firms, especially in the area of government contracting and business accounting. The Committee believes the Department of the Navy's SBIR program is a successful model, especially the Navy Program Executive Office Submarine, which could be used as a benchmark for SBIRs programs across the Department of Defense enterprise. Office of Personnel Management [OPM] Breach.--The Committee supports the Department of Defense's request of $75,000,000 for the Federal Investigative Services Information Technology program to develop a new database to respond to the theft of Federal workers personal data as a result of the security breach at OPM. The Committee encourages the Secretary of Defense to invest in a new Background Investigation Information Technology System to ensure that the privacy and personal data of Federal employees is protected from current and future vulnerabilities. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide quarterly updates on the future technology development program and its follow on acquisition effort. Sustained-Release Drug Delivery.--The Committee is aware of ongoing efforts to develop technologies to enable ultra-long acting pharmacokinetics to respond to threats and improve individual readiness and total force health protection. The Committee encourages the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency [DARPA] to prioritize research into delivery systems to increase access to treatment though the development of long- acting oral therapies to improve healthcare access, delivery, and outcomes. A system that could administer therapies once monthly to once every 6 months would greatly improve patient adherence and optimize the pharmacokinetics of therapies currently provided once or more per day. Oral long-acting therapies are particularly advantageous in resource-constrained environments and likely to include significant operational, logistics, and cost benefits. Cybersecurity Research Automated Cyber Exploitation and Defense.--The Committee is concerned that current approaches to identify cybersecurity vulnerabilities in software and systems are largely manual, slow and costly, and leave our military and intelligence systems at risk. The Committee recognizes the value of automated exploit generation and vulnerability identification technologies for rapidly identifying security- critical vulnerabilities in off-the-shelf systems, such as those exemplified in the Cyber Grand Challenge. Therefore, the Committee directs funding within the Cyber Security Research program to support research in automated exploit generation, exploit hardening, and vulnerability identification capabilities of systems when source code is not available, and to focus on implementation, integration, and software tooling. Secure Networks of Systems.--The Committee recognizes that the Department's aircraft, ships, submarines, vehicles, and energy systems are computer-networked systems of systems that are increasingly autonomous in these complex systems. Every piece of software, hardware, and network is a potential cybersecurity attack point. The Committee notes that attackers will target all components to achieve their objective, and that effective defenses require interdisciplinary expertise in cybersecurity offense and defense in hardware, software, networks, and autonomous systems covering both traditional computing devices and cyber-physical systems that interact with the physical world. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to use funds previously appropriated in the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2016 (Public Law 114-113) within the Defense Technology Analysis program to support institutions with strong cybersecurity, cyber-physical, and networks of systems research programs that will develop methods to identify vulnerabilities in large networked systems, rapidly prototype and build security prototypes and tools, and with institutional capabilities to transfer basic research into Department of Defense mission areas and platforms. Cyber Data Protection.--As a result of the recent OPM breach, the Committee is concerned with threats accessing classified data and personally identifiable information [PII]. The Committee is concerned that traditional network defense actions are insufficient to protect data assets from unauthorized or malicious access, manipulation, destruction, and exfiltration. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to undertake a comprehensive review of classified systems and systems that have PII information, and validate that protection measures are in place to insure data integrity and appropriate access. The review should include an examination of measures to defeat deletion and exfiltration. Not more than 30 days after completing the review, the Secretary of Defense shall report to the congressional defense committees on the findings. Third Offset and Federally Funded Research and Development Centers.--The Committee recognizes that many government Federally Funded Research and Development Centers [FFRDCs] are developing cutting-edge technology that could be used for defense purposes in support of the Secretary of Defense's Third Offset Strategy. The research and development investments being conducted by many FFRDCs, including the national security labs, are often classified or include contract work with small businesses that are accustomed to working with the Department of Defense and other government agencies. As the Department of Defense works to support the acceleration of the fielding or commercialization of offset technologies to counter the technological advantage of potential adversaries, the Committee urges the Department of Defense to include FFRDCs in its offset strategy and to commit to increased partnerships with FFRDCs and the small businesses which support them. Robotic Servicing of Geostationary Satellites.--The Committee supports the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency's [DARPA] efforts to work with industry to develop and demonstrate robotic satellite servicing technologies in geostationary orbit. DARPA's work is complementary to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration [NASA] Restore-L mission to demonstrate robotic satellite servicing in low Earth orbit [LEO]. NASA's Restore-L and DARPA's planned Robotic Servicing of Geostationary Satellites [RSGS] will both demonstrate key technologies and enable a commercially provided sustained servicing capability to inspect, repair, relocate and add payloads to satellites. The Committee is hopeful that NASA's Restore-L, RSGS and the subsequent commercial partners will foster a more capable and resilient space architecture for the U.S. Government and U.S. commercial satellite industry. MISSILE DEFENSE AGENCY Integrated Master Test Plan.--The fiscal year 2017 President's budget request includes $1,232,784,000 for Missile Defense Agency [MDA] test events, an increase of $82,526,000 over amounts enacted in fiscal year 2016. The Committee recognizes the importance of a fully integrated test program to MDA's mission and continues to support a robust test program to credibly demonstrate and validate the ballistic missile defense system performance. Therefore, the Committee is concerned by MDA's proposal to defer the operational test for the Ground- based Midcourse Defense System until fiscal year 2018, and recommends an additional $24,400,000 to accelerate that flight test, FTG-11, into fiscal year 2017, as previously planned. Further, the Committee is concerned by the continued volatility in MDA's test schedule, and the discrepancies between planned and actually executed test events. The Committee understands that numerous factors can impact the execution of test events in any given year, but strongly believes that a stronger synchronization between allocation of budgetary resources and management of the test plan would lead to greater stability, demonstrated performance and cost savings. The Committee notes that 3 months after submission of the fiscal year 2017 President's budget, the final Integrated Master Test Plan had not been approved. The Committee directs that not more than 75 percent for funds requested for testing in fiscal year 2017 may be obligated or expended until the Director, Missile Defense Agency, in conjunction with the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation, submits a plan to the congressional defense committees delineating steps to ensure greater synchronization between the budget and the Integrated Master Test Plan. Redesigned Kill Vehicle [RKV].--The fiscal year 2017 President's budget request includes $181,900,000 for continued development of the Redesigned Kill Vehicle. The Committee recommends full funding of this request and notes its previous strong support for this program. The Committee notes that with submission of the fiscal year 2017 President's budget, the Missile Defense Agency [MDA] changed its acquisition strategy for the RKV from a deliberately sequenced acquisition using research and development and procurement funding to a schedule- driven acquisition using only research and development funding and incremental funding authorities. Based on past experience, the Committee has significant concerns with this approach as it eschews best acquisition practices and relinquishes transparency, auditability, accountability, and affordability for the sake of expedience. In addition, the Committee notes MDA's stated intent to compete follow-on production of the RKV, but questions MDA's ability to do so given the significant number of RKVs MDA plans to award with existing contract vehicles, to include seven Inert Operating Kill Vehicles, three test articles, and eight initial production RKVs. The Committee notes that the purpose of initial production is to establish an initial production base for a system and to provide an efficient ramp to full rate production, and is concerned that the RKV acquisition strategy jeopardizes this by delaying the transition to full rate production through competition. The Committee supports the development of seven Inert Operating Kill Vehicles, three test articles and no more than four initial production RKVs, consistent with previously established thresholds for initial production. The Committee does not support the use of research and development funds for additional RKV production rounds. To support transition to competition for the RKV, the Committee recommends $50,000,000 in Procurement, Defense-wide above the budget request only for RKV advanced procurement and expects MDA to program procurement funds for RKV production accordingly. Directed Energy.--The fiscal year 2017 President's budget request includes $23,744,000 for the competitive development of two prototype airborne laser demonstrator platforms with a flight demonstration planned by fiscal year 2020. The Committee notes the potential ability of directed energy concepts to augment the kinetic capability of the ballistic missile defense system and recommends full funding for this effort. However, the Committee is aware of the size, weight and power challenges of integrating a laser onto an airborne platform, as well as of questions surrounding the concept of operations of such a platform. Therefore, the Committee directs that funds be limited to this demonstrator effort only, and that no funds may be obligated or expended for follow-on development efforts or programs. SM-3 Block IIA Interceptor.--The fiscal year 2017 President's budget request includes $254,700,000 for the continued manufacturing of seventeen SM-3 Block IIA interceptors as well as $213,300,000 for continued SM-3 Block IIA development and $106,038,000 for SM-3 Block IIA co- development with the Government of Japan. The Committee notes that since the previous budget request, programmed costs for manufacturing of the initial SM-3 Block IIA interceptors have increased 40 percent and costs for SM-3 Block IIA development have increased 29 percent. Further, delivery of SM-3 Block IIA interceptors has been delayed by over three fiscal quarters, resulting in at least one missed flight test. As previously stated in Senate Report 114-63 and in Senate Report 113-211, the Committee has grave reservations with MDA's acquisition approach for SM-3 Block IIA interceptors and its inability to control costs for this program, which are in direct contradiction to MDA's stated goals of ``getting ahead of the cost curve,'' as the Director, MDA testified before the Committee. The Committee recognizes the importance of the SM-3 Block IIA to the European Phased Adaptive Approach and continues to support the program; however, the Committee believes that greater acquisition rigor is required to contain program costs and manage the industrial base, which produces the SM-3 Block IIA interceptor concurrently with the SM-3 Block IB interceptor. Therefore, the Committee directs the Director, Missile Defense Agency, in coordination with the Assistant Secretary of the Navy (Research, Development and Acquisition), to provide with the fiscal year 2018 President's budget request an acquisition objective for the SM-3 Block IB and Block IIA programs, as well as a report on steps taken by MDA and the Department of the Navy to control costs while improving program performance. Availability of Solid Rocket Motors for Testing.--The Committee notes the Missile Defense Agency's reliance on solid rocket motors [SRM] for target vehicles used in tests and is concerned with potential cost increases for these motors. Therefore, the Committee directs the Assistant Secretary of the Air Force (Acquisition) in conjunction with the Director, Missile Defense Agency [MDA], to provide a report to the congressional defense committees, not later than 90 days after enactment of this act, detailing costs of refurbished strategic solid rocket motors for MDA target vehicles and evaluating options to control costs. The report should include an evaluation of the potential development of a modern first stage solid rocket motor for use in these targets and disclose whether such a development could lower the cost of future target vehicles, strengthen the strategic SRM industrial base and reduce risk in the Ground-Based Strategic Deterrent program.

Commissary Funding.--The Committee recognizes the significant and lasting benefits that commissaries provide in support of servicemembers and their families. Commissaries help promote healthy base communities by guaranteeing access to fresh foods, including fruits and vegetables, at low prices to military families. Better nutrition and food choices are the first steps toward improved health outcomes and lower healthcare costs. Commissaries also help military families stretch their budgets and provide stable employment for servicemembers' families and veterans. It is understood that the Department of Defense would like to make commissaries more self-sustaining. The Committee supports finding efficiencies to lower the operational cost of commissaries, and is willing to review and consider new ways to administer the commissaries. However, any reduction should not impact hours of service, the number of stores, or savings to customers. The Committee strongly believes that commissaries must be kept open, affordable, and accessible to military families. National Defense Sealift Fund Appropriations, 2016.................................... $474,164,000 Budget estimate, 2017................................................... Committee recommendation................................................ The Committee recommends no appropriation for the National Defense Sealift Fund. This is equal to the budget estimate since the Secretary of the Navy realigned funding from this account into Operation and Maintenance, Navy, and Research, Development, Test and Evaluation, Navy in the request. TITLE VI OTHER DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE PROGRAMS Defense Health Program Appropriations, 2016.................................... $32,329,490,000 Budget estimate, 2017................................... 33,467,516,000 Committee recommendation................................ 33,989,723,000 The Committee recommends an appropriation of $33,989,723,000.

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 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 In-House Care budget sub-activity as a special interest item. Any transfer of funds from the In-House Care budget sub-activity into the Private Sector Care budget sub- activity or any other budget sub-activity will require the Secretary of Defense to follow prior approval reprogramming procedures for operation and maintenance funds. The Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide written notification to the congressional defense committees of cumulative transfers in excess of $10,000,000 out of the Private Sector Care budget sub-activity not later than fifteen days after such a transfer. 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 budget activities and to adequately reflect changes to the budget activities requested by the services in future budget submissions. Carryover.--For fiscal year 2017, 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 2016 designated carryover funds to the congressional defense committees not less than 30 days prior to executing the carryover funds. Electronic Health Record.--The Committee remains concerned about the progress being made by the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs to develop fully interoperable electronic health records. The ultimate goal of the efforts of both Departments is to have systems that can exchange data in a meaningful way and be used in a dynamic environment to improve patient care and facilitate smoother transitions for servicemembers from military service to veteran status. The Committee appreciates the Department's improvements in providing information on prior year budgets and expenditures on its electronic health record as well as an equivalent level of detail for the fiscal year 2017 budget request. The Committee directs the Program Executive Officer [PEO] for the Defense Healthcare Management Systems Modernization [DHMSM] program to provide quarterly reports to the congressional defense committees and the Government Accountability Office on the cost and schedule of the program, to include milestones, knowledge points, and acquisition timelines, as well as quarterly obligation reports. These reports should also include the following: (1) any changes to the deployment timeline, including benchmarks, for full operating capability; (2) any refinements to the cost estimate for full operating capability and the total life cycle cost of the project; (3) an assurance that the acquisition strategy will comply with the acquisition rules, requirements, guidelines, and systems acquisition management practices of the Federal Government; (4) the status of the effort to achieve interoperability between the electronic health record systems of the Department of Defense and the Department of Veterans Affairs, including the scope, cost, schedule, mapping to health data standards, and performance benchmarks of the interoperable record; and (6) the progress toward developing, implementing, and fielding the interoperable electronic health record throughout the two Departments' medical facilities. The Committee further directs the PEO DHMSM to continue briefing the House and Senate Defense Appropriations Subcommittees on a quarterly basis, coinciding with the report submission. Given that full deployment of the new electronic health record is not scheduled until fiscal year 2022, the Committee expects the Department to continue working on interim modifications and enhancements to the current system to improve interoperability in the short-term. 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 directs the Interagency Program Office to continue to provide quarterly briefings to the House and Senate Subcommittees on Appropriations for Defense and Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies regarding standards development, how those standards are being incorporated by both DOD and VA and the progress of interoperability between the two Departments. In an effort to ensure government-wide accountability, the Committee also directs the DOD in coordination with the VA to provide the Federal Chief Information Officer of the United States with monthly updates on progress made by the two Departments to reach interoperability and modernize their respective electronic health records. Traumatic Brain Injury [TBI]/Psychological Health.--The Committee recommends $60,000,000 above the fiscal year 2017 budget request for continued research into treatment, prevention, and detection of traumatic brain injuries and improved psychological health. 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. Additionally, the Committee is aware of recent medical advances in drug development for neurodegenerative diseases and encourages the Department to further its research into developing drugs that reverse, halt, or slow the neurodegenerative process associated with traumatic brain injury. The Committee is also aware of advances in diagnostic and mapping tools developed to better understand the cellular extent of TBI. These advances could lead to more effective protective gear that minimizes or eliminates the damage associated with TBI, and the Committee encourages the Department to continue its research in these areas. Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program.--The Committee recommends $300,000,000 for the 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: acute lung injury, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, antimicrobial resistance, arthritis, autism, burn pit exposure, chronic migraine and post-traumatic headache, congenital heart disease, constrictive bronchiolitis, diabetes, diarrheal diseases, dystonia, early trauma thermal regulation, eating disorders, emerging infectious diseases, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, Fragile X, Guillain-Barre syndrome, gulf war illness, hearing restoration, hepatitis B and C, hereditary angioedema, hydrocephalus, immunomonitoring of intestinal implants, inflammatory bowel diseases, influenza, integrative medicine, interstitial cystitis, malaria, metals toxicology, mitochondrial disease, multiple sclerosis, musculoskeletal disorders, nanomaterials for bone regeneration, neurofibromatosis, non-opioid pain management, orthopedics, pancreatitis, Parkinson's, pathogen-inactivated dried cryoprecipitate, polycystic kidney disease, post-traumatic osteoarthritis, pulmonary fibrosis, reconstructive transplantation, respiratory health, Rett syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, scleroderma, sleep disorders, spinal cord injury, spinal muscular atrophy, sustained-release drug delivery, tinnitus, tuberculosis, tuberous sclerosis complex, vaccine development for infectious disease, vascular malformations, vision, and women's heart disease. The Committee emphasizes that the additional funding provided under the Peer-Reviewed Medical Research Program shall be devoted only to the purposes listed above. Joint Warfighter Medical Research Program.--The Committee recommends $50,000,000 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 recommends $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 $60,000,000 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: brain cancer, colorectal cancer, immunotherapy, kidney cancer, listeria-based regimens for cancer, liver cancer, melanoma, mesothelioma, neuroblastoma, pancreatic cancer, pediatric brain tumors, and stomach cancer. 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. The Committee commends the Department for ensuring that projects funded through the various peer-reviewed cancer research programs maintain a focus on issues of significance to military populations and the warfighter. This includes promoting collaborative research proposals between Department of Defense researchers and non-military research institutions. These collaborations leverage the knowledge, infrastructure, and access to clinical populations that the partners bring to the research effort. Additionally, promoting these collaborations provides a valuable recruitment and retention incentive for military medical and research personnel. The Committee encourages the Department to emphasize the importance of these collaborations between military and non-military researchers throughout the peer-review process. Collaboration on Cancer Research.--The Committee recognizes that the close cooperation between the John P. Murtha Cancer Center at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center and the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) has enabled partnerships which allow access to cancer tissue repositories and shareable data to improve the treatment and outcomes of patients in the military health system. These partnerships will further advance research through the enhanced use of patient data derived from large patient studies that include long-term health records, specimen repositories and collaborations involving major academic cancer centers. The Committee strongly encourages increased support to allow for rapid enrollment of patients and collaboration on research initiatives toward the goal of enhanced cancer treatment for all service members and their families. Orthotics and Prosthetics Outcomes Research.--The Committee recommends $10,000,000 in support of orthotics and prosthetics outcomes research. The focus of this research should be on outcomes-based best practices through analysis of the merits of clinical options currently available, not on the development or improvement of new and existing technology. 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 peer- reviewed projects that receive funding. The report should include the funding amount awarded to each project and the anticipated effect on patient care. Advanced Orthopedic Surgical Training.--The Committee encourages the Department of Defense to provide advanced surgical training in arthroscopic techniques from within appropriated funds. The Defense Health Agency is encouraged to partner with medical professional societies that maintain best practices relating to orthopedic procedures, including orthopedic training protocols and learning centers. Collaboration on Medical Research.--The Committee understands that the Department is continuing to work with the National Institutes of Health [NIH] on furthering a pilot program to share Department of Defense research data into Federal Research Portfolio Online Reporting Tools Expenditures and Results [RePORTER]. The Committee continues to support this effort to share medical research data across Federal agencies and encourages the Department to require its use across the services to ensure all Department research data is entered into Federal RePORTER. Additionally, the Department should provide appropriate resources, both in amount and type of appropriation, in future budget submissions to carry out this effort. In fiscal year 2015, the Committee directed the Department to contract with the Institute of Medicine to evaluate the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program and provide a report to the congressional defense committees within 12 months. This report will include an evaluation of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program's two-tiered peer review process, its coordination of research priorities with NIH and recommendations for how the process can be improved. The Committee is aware that work on this report is ongoing and looks forward to receiving the report as part of its efforts to continue to ensure that government investments in medical research are maximized. Mental Health Professionals.--The Committee recognizes that servicemembers and their families face unique stresses beyond those of everyday life. After over a decade of war, the need for mental health professionals in the Department is at an all- time high, and the Committee believes that every beneficiary of the Military Health System should have timely access to mental health services. However, the Committee is concerned with the Department's inability to recruit and retain enough psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, nurse practitioners, and registered nurses to provide adequate mental healthcare. The Government Accountability Office [GAO] review of this issue found that progress is being made regarding the annual reporting of mental health professional staffing needs. However, GAO also noted that the services need to accurately report any additional measures used to supplement the Psychological Health Risk-Adjusted Model for Staffing [PHRAMS] as well as report their PHRAMS-generated estimates in the requirements fields of the Defense Health Agency's [DHA] quarterly mental health staffing reports. The Committee encourages the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs), the Director of the Defense Health Agency, and the Service Surgeons General to continue to work together to ensure annual estimates of mental health professionals meet the needs of all beneficiaries in the military health system. In addition, the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) is directed to prepare as part of DHA's fiscal year 2018 budget submission a review of these estimates as well as an outline of current challenges in recruiting and retaining mental health professionals by the Department of Defense. Brain Tissue Repository.--The Committee applauds the Department's recent efforts in advancing the study and treatment of traumatic brain injury in servicemembers by partnering with the National Institutes of Health to create the world's first human brain tissue repository for military personnel at the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences. In fiscal year 2015, the Committee directed the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs) to provide a report outlining strategies for overcoming roadblocks to post- mortem brain donation in the military. The Committee has received this report and appreciates the progress that the Department is making with Organ Procurement Organizations and the National Disease Research Interchange to increase donations. The Committee encourages the Department to continue these efforts to advance research to improve the protection and care of servicemembers. Operation Live Well, Healthy Base Initiative, and Total Force Fitness.--The Committee understands that there is considerable evidence of an emerging nutrition problem within the Armed Forces. A November 2015 report by the Army Surgeon General, ``Health of the Force,'' found that nutrition has a direct bearing on readiness. Additionally, a September 2014 report by Mission Readiness, ``Retreat is Not an Option,'' found that the military spends over $1,000,000,000 per year to treat weight-related health problems through TRICARE. Another report found that the Navy is losing between $200,000,000 and $300,000,000 in annual training investments because sailors fail to pass physical fitness tests. To address this and other health issues, the Committee has appropriated $3,000,000 each year since fiscal year 2014 to advance the Department's Healthy Base Initiative [HBI] pilot program and Total Force Fitness [TFF] Program. These initiatives have shown the potential to dramatically enhance recruitment, retention, readiness and resilience for the entire military community by improving and expanding healthier food offerings across all bases, including mission dining facilities, morale, welfare and recreation programs, exchange food offerings, and commissaries. Going forward, these efforts will be part of the Operation Live Well program, which has subsumed both HBI and TFF, and will continue its focus on healthy options while paying particular attention to those service personnel and their families living off of military installations. The Committee again recommends an additional $3,000,000 to support these initiatives. It also notes that the Department has established the Office of the Executive Director, Force Resiliency, within the office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness, to oversee these efforts. Reconstructive Transplantation.--Reconstructive transplantation is a rapidly growing discipline that greatly benefits from collaboration among institutions, surgeons, and investigators working to improve the lives of servicemembers who suffer significant injuries due to combat related injuries often caused by improvised explosive devices. The Department's continued research into reconstructive transplantation will allow surgeons and investigators to refine approaches for hand, face and other vascularized composite tissue allografts including the transplants of skin, muscle, tendon, nerves, bone, and blood vessels. The Committee strongly supports the basic, translational and clinical research needed to improve access to reconstructive transplants and state-of-the-art immunotherapy. The Committee encourages the Department to promote multi-institutional and intra-institutional, multidisciplinary collaborations among clinicians and research scientists to help advance promising ideas in reconstructive composite tissue transplantation into clinical applications. Improving Military Medicine's Management of Pain.--The Committee has supported the Department's efforts to address the needs of servicemembers, especially those that have served multiple times in Iraq and Afghanistan, who are living with chronic pain related to military service and deployments. The Committee has previously supported the Department's strengthening of the Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences' Defense and Veterans Center for Integrative Pain Management [DVCIPM] as the proponent for consensus recommendations for Department-wide improvements in pain medicine policies, practice, education, and research. The DVCIPM is also responsible for addressing the recommendations of the Army Pain Management Task Force for state of the art science modalities and technologies to address acute and chronic pain of service members and other patients. The Committee acknowledges the work that has been accomplished by the DVCIPM and encourages continued investment in these vital efforts. Global Health.--The Committee recognizes the critical contribution that the Department of Defense research and development [R&D] portfolio makes in protecting servicemembers from infectious diseases they may encounter on missions around the world and the need to sustain and support U.S. investment in this area by fully funding R&D programs that carry out this work within the Department of Defense Health Program, Department of the Army and Department of the Navy Research, Development, Test and Evaluation budgets. Medical Defense Against Infectious Disease.--The Committee recognizes the importance of prevention and treatment of naturally occurring infectious diseases and tropical infectious diseases, such as malaria, Dengue, and Chikungunya viruses. These diseases pose a significant threat to the strategic access and operational effectiveness of forces deployed outside the United States. The Committee is concerned with the Department's decisions over recent years to precipitously decrease funding for malaria research and encourages the Department to address these diseases of military importance and invest in research for chemoprophylaxis, surveillance, novel approaches to vaccine development, and other countermeasures. The Committee urges the Department to partner with colleges and universities that have strong research programs in infectious diseases, as well as other Federal agencies, foreign governments, international agencies, and nonprofit organizations to mitigate duplication of effort and maximize the use of Department resources. Additionally, several emerging infectious diseases have taken the global community by surprise over the last few decades, including SARS, H1N1, Ebola, and Zika. Disease surveillance, rapid detection, outbreak response, and epidemiology are essential to providing an early warning of emerging infectious disease threats to servicemembers abroad and global health security in general. The Committee recommends $225,900,000 for core Defense Health Program research and encourages the Department to continue its investments in neglected and infectious diseases. Trauma Clinical Research Network.--The Committee acknowledges that the last 15 years of war in Afghanistan and Iraq have enabled the U.S. military to learn vital lessons in combat casualty care. The Committee encourages the Assistant Secretary of Defense (Health Affairs), the Director of the Defense Health Agency, and the Commander of the U.S. Army Institute of Surgical Research to work with other Federal agencies focused on tactical combat casualty care [TCCC]. TCCC has become the gold standard in combat care and has achieved the best casualty outcomes in the history of modern warfare. It is imperative that we sustain these advances and ensure that lessons learned are being incorporated into best practice trauma care guidelines throughout the military. The Committee encourages the Department to ensure that military advances in combat casualty care are rapidly, uniformly, and permanently implemented throughout the U.S. military. Further, the Committee encourages the Department to continue allocating sufficient resources for these efforts in future budget submissions. 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. Beyond the decreased quality of life for affected servicemembers, respiratory diseases result in almost 27,000 lost workdays per year. 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 service men and women returning from combat zones who have sustained traumatic brain injuries [TBI] and the long term consequences of TBI. These wounded warriors are at high risk for developing post-traumatic epilepsy, depression, cognitive difficulties, and post-traumatic stress disorder, which may be interconnected. As current TBI longitudinal studies have not included epilepsy, the Committee encourages the Department to place greater priority and invest more funding in longitudinal epidemiological research, including epilepsy surveillance, to better understand the magnitude of the problem and improve patient care and outcomes. To assist in these efforts, the Committee recommends $7,500,000 in support of epilepsy research. Additionally, the Committee urges the Department to expand research into the mechanisms by which brain injury produces epilepsy and research directed at the prevention of epilepsy and concomitant comorbidities 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. Sleep Disorder Research.--The Committee recognizes that sleep disorders are increasingly prevalent among servicemembers and that such disruptions have been associated with diverse mental and physical disorders, including traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic stress. The Committee applauds the Army for acknowledging the importance of sleep in achieving optimal physical, mental, and emotional health and including sleep as a focus in the Performance Triad. In support of this effort, the Committee urges the Department to support basic, translational, and clinical research on how the disruption of normal sleep and circadian biological rhythms adversely affects the health, safety, performance, and productivity of military and civilian populations. Hydrocephalus Research.--The Committee is concerned that some of the estimated 294,000 servicemembers who have sustained a traumatic brain injury in Operation Enduring Freedom and Iraqi Freedom are at higher risk for developing hydrocephalus. Hydrocephalus, an increased accumulation of fluid in the brain, often has a delayed onset and can easily be misdiagnosed as dementia or other aging related diseases. Given that there is currently no cure for hydrocephalus and current treatment options are limited and have high failure rates, the Committee encourages the Department to increase its investments in hydrocephalus research. Sustained-Release Drug Delivery.--The Committee encourages development of technology that can deliver oral drugs for up to one week or more for specific, targeted, military healthcare needs. Potential application of this technology could include long-acting oral therapies for post-traumatic stress, opiate dependence, low-dose pain control, allergies, attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder, chemoprophylaxis, and other Department-identified priority areas. Most oral therapies are limited in their duration of efficacy by short half-lives in the body and by the rapid gastrointestinal transit of the pill. Oral, long-acting therapies may be particularly advantageous in complex environments with limited access to medical personnel and resources. Biomarkers for Hazardous Exposures.--The Committee recognizes that hazardous exposures cost the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs billions of dollars annually in medical care, reduce servicemember performance and create a multitude of health compensation claims. Identifying biomarkers for toxic or psychologically traumatic exposures could allow for faster diagnosis and treatment of a number of exposure- related conditions among military and veteran populations. The Committee supports research efforts that capitalize on recent advances in exposure science, biosignatures discovery, wearable sensors technology, chemical surveillance, and systems biology including proteomics, genomics, and metabolomics. Further, the Committee encourages the Department to collaborate with research universities, medical research centers, and National Laboratories that specialize in the enumerated health research capabilities. This research shall aim to align and integrate research and development efforts to rapidly transition products in support of the emerging Joint Health Risk Management Program. Behavioral and Mental Health Care for National Guard and Reserve.--The Committee recognizes that the men and women of the National Guard and Reserve components need greater access to care if they are to maintain a high state of medical readiness to support regularly occurring deployments. It also recognizes that the suicide rate in the reserve components is consistently higher than the suicide rate for both the active duty military and the civilian population. Therefore, the Committee encourages the Department to better ensure that periodic health assessments are followed by medical treatment to address any behavioral or mental health conditions that could impact a servicemember's ability to deploy, even if such care falls outside of the pre-deployment window. This practice would allow for a more medically ready, deployable force and would expand access to behavioral and mental healthcare for reserve component servicemembers. Biological Dosimetry Network for Radiological/Nuclear Events.--The Committee is concerned that the detonation of a nuclear weapon at a Department of Defense facility or in a combat zone has the potential to expose numerous military and civilian personnel to radiation and non-radiation effects. This type of event could overwhelm medical personnel unless effective triage is in place. A biodosimetry network could provide an estimate of the radiation dose an individual actually received and would clearly identify those in need of further treatment. The Committee understands that the Department is in the process of developing a biodosimetry network and encourages the expeditious development and testing of such a network. Further, the Department should coordinate its efforts with the Departments of Health and Human Services, Homeland Security, the Food and Drug Administration and other agencies as appropriate. Operational Risk Management of Deployment Exposures.--The Committee continues to be concerned about the hazardous occupational and environmental health [OEH] exposures (dust, burn pits, endemic disease, etc.) occurring during deployment and the negative impacts that these exposures have on health and mission readiness. In May 2015, a Government Accountability Office [GAO] report noted that while significant improvements have occurred in deployment force health protection since the Gulf War, there are certain gaps that demand immediate attention and remediation including: establishing clear OEH policy and procedures; requiring all other military-service- specific policies be amended and implemented to ensure consistency and revising CENTCOM policies to require adequate documentation and consistent monitoring of deployment risk mitigation activities. The Committee encourages the Department to take steps to review and address the prevention, mitigation, and avoidance strategies, policies, and procedures and to develop and implement the GAO recommendations within the operational risk management construct, including during the deployment planning stages and throughout the remainder of the deployment process. Real-Time Locating System [RTLS] Technology.--The Committee understands that automated resource management systems may improve patient care in both normal and emergency situations and that the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel Command and Telemedicine Advanced Technology Research Center have begun research to define, exercise, and refine best practices for management of blast injury mass casualty disasters through the use of RTLS technology. The Committee encourages the Department to continue this research and focus on creating an open framework on which private sector vendors can create solutions that can homogenize location data from disparate systems and accelerate the adoption of multi-site implementations. Military Medical Photonics.--Military Medical Photonics research improves battlefield patient care using photomedicine technologies and exemplifies how mission-oriented research can benefit both military and civilian populations. Recent breakthroughs in this research include major technology advances in burn and wound management, tissue imaging and bonding for vascular and reconstructive surgery, diagnosis, and treatment of major eye diseases and trauma, critical care sensors and monitors, early assessment of inhalation airway injury, rapid imaging of coronary artery disease, and normalization of severe scarring from wounds of war. This program has made great progress in the development of important, innovative technologies for battlefield medicine, and the Committee encourages the Department to maintain funding for this research at historical levels in future budgets. Medical Follow-Up Agency of the Institute of Medicine.--The Committee acknowledges the important contributions of the Medical Follow-Up Agency [MFUA] to Department of Defense medical research efforts and urges the Department to continue to support the agency with the modest investments necessary to maintain epidemiological research and biospecimens. These investments will allow MFUA to quickly respond to the health information needs of active duty military and veteran populations and keep them viable for future research efforts. Effect of the Gut Microbiome on Chronic Disease.--The Committee understands that recent research suggests the levels of microbiota can affect a patient's overall health and that the Department plans to research the impact of gut microbiome on warfighter readiness and performance. The Committee applauds these efforts and encourages the Department to also investigate the impact of gut microbiome on long-term chronic conditions, such as heart disease, kidney disease, and hypertension.

The Committee recommends $214,000,000 for the National Guard Counter-Drug program and directs the Department to include an individual budget line for this program in its fiscal year 2018 budget submission. National Guard Counter-Drug Schools.--The Committee continues to support the counter-drug schools' 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 as an important component of our overall effort to reduce drug crimes and protect national security. The Committee recommends $20,000,000 for the counter-drug schools to achieve their full mission and directs the Department to include an individual budget line for this program in its fiscal year 2018 budget submission.

TITLE IX OVERSEAS CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS/GLOBAL WAR ON TERRORISM Department of Defense--Military The Committee recommends an appropriation of $58,635,004,000 for operations related to Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism. In fiscal year 2016 Congress appropriated $58,638,000,000 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 eliminates the reporting requirement for Cost of War Execution reports. However, the Secretary of Defense is directed to submit reports, on a quarterly basis, to the congressional defense committees not later than 30 days after the last day of each quarter of the fiscal year that detail commitment, obligation, and expenditure data by sub-activity group for the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund and the Counter- the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant Fund. MILITARY PERSONNEL The Committee recommends a total of $3,562,258,000 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.

Military Personnel , Air National Guard ------------------------------------------------------------------------ OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE The Committee recommends $43,288,874,000 for the operation and maintenance accounts. These funds are available to fund overseas deployments and other activities by the services and Special Operations Forces to include financing flying hours, ship steaming days, ground operations, special airlift missions, increased ship and aircraft maintenance, logistics support, fuel purchases, base support, civilian personnel, personnel support costs, overseas transportation, communications support, facility management, and other operation and maintenance requirements. Operation and Maintenance Overview Operation and Maintenance Overseas Contingency Operations/ Global War on Terrorism [O&M OCO/GWOT] Budget Justification.-- The current format of the budget request for O&M OCO funding is to justify resource requirements by budget line item, contingency operation (Operation FREEDOM'S SENTINEL, Operation INHERENT RESOLVE, or European Reassurance Initiative), and Cost Breakdown Structure [CBS] code. While at one time useful, this format has become outdated and cumbersome with services having to present their O&M OCO requests in a format that is totally different than the O&M base budget request. The Committee believes making the format for the O&M OCO OP-5 exhibit match that of the base budget OP-5 exhibit will not only simplify the budget justification materials, but will also allow for better transparency in the requirements changes as a whole versus by operation or CBS code. This change will allow the services to address major changes programmatically in a consistent manner. Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary of Defense to ensure that the O&M OCO OP-5 exhibits no longer include categorization by contingency operation or Cost Breakdown Structure and instead follow the same format as the base budget OP-5 exhibit. For summary purposes, the O&M OCO justification shall include the budget profile by contingency operation (OFS, OIR, ERI, and any others the Secretary of Defense designates) for the prior year, current year and budget year for each O&M appropriation. This shall be a summary table to be included in each O&M appropriation's introductory OCO budget materials.

Counterte rrorism Partnersh ips Fund ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Fund Consolidation.--The Committee notes that in recent years the number of requests for separate Funds for various building partner capacity efforts has continued to increase, resulting in disparate funding streams often supporting the same partners for different purposes. The Committee believes this trend has hampered congressional oversight in tracking the utility and feasibility of requested projects, proper execution of funds, and duplication of effort. To address this issue, the Committee recommends a consolidation of building partner capacity efforts and a reduction in the number of funds. The Committee recommends elimination of the Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund [CTPF], originally established in fiscal year 2015 to accelerate capacity building for our counterterrorism partners. The Committee fully supports these efforts as an important force multiplier in the counterterrorism fight. However, the Committee notes that the CTPF has a similar purpose as base funding provided in the Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide appropriation for separate building partner capacity efforts, and sees no justification for maintaining a separate fund for counterterrorism purposes. Therefore, the Committee recommends transferring $850,000,000 from the CTPF to the Title IX Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide appropriation for Security Cooperation Enhancements, as authorized in S. 2943, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017, as reported. The Committee provides for 2-year availability of these funds. The Committee also recommends a reduction to the CTPF of $150,000,000 for Syria train and equip efforts that were appropriated in the CTPF in fiscal year 2016, but requested in a separate Syria Train and Equip Fund in the fiscal year 2017 budget request without a commensurate movement of funding from the CTPF. The Committee also recommends a consolidation of the Iraq Train and Equip and Syria Train and Equip Funds, requested in the fiscal year 2017 budget, into a single Counter-the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant [Counter-ISIL] Train and Equip Fund. The Committee recommends the transfer of Jordan and Lebanon border security efforts currently funded in Title IX Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide, to the Counter-ISIL Train and Equip Fund to consolidate similar efforts. The Committee hopes to work with the Department of Defense in the coming months to determine if additional transfers or fund reductions are warranted in order to return to traditional appropriation account funding and improve the ability of congressional overseers to track building partner capacity spending. Boko Haram.--The fiscal year 2017 budget requests $125,000,000, in the Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund for building partnership capacity efforts in the Lake Chad region to counter Boko Haram and promote regional stability. The Committee transferred funding for these building partner capacity efforts to the Operation and Maintenance, Defense-wide appropriation. The Committee fully supports these and other efforts to prevent Boko Haram's freedom of movement and diminish its ability to secure material support and maintain a safe haven. Afghanistan Security Forces Fund Appropriations, 2016.................................... $3,652,257,000 Budget estimate, 2017................................... 3,448,715,000 Committee recommendation................................ 3,448,715,000 The Committee recommends an appropriation of $3,448,715,000.

The Committee is also concerned about a lack of insight into the cost benefit analysis of procuring new equipment instead of refurbishing excess equipment. The Committee encourages the Department to work to ensure that priority capability gaps identified by the Afghan security forces are met and that concerns by the Afghans about their ability to absorb equipment are addressed, either through reduced procurements or through advice to and training of ANDSF leadership to ensure that the benefits of the capability being provided are fully understood and, therefore, will be fully utilized. In addition, prior to the obligation of funds for a contract on new equipment, the Committee directs the Commander, Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan to provide to the congressional defense committees, a cost-benefit analysis of purchasing new equipment for the ANDSF instead of refurbishing excess defense articles.

The Committee recommends 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.

Standoff Improvised Explosive Device Detection.--The Committee recognizes the value of using hyperspectral imaging [HSI] technologies for standoff detection of Improvised Explosive Devices [IEDs] and for detection of the explosive constituent chemicals and other materials used in the manufacture of IEDs such as nitrates, nitrites, phosphates, and ammonia. The Committee believes that these technologies have promising application on remotely piloted systems. The Committee encourages the Joint Improvised-Threat Defeat Agency to explore the efficacy of deploying HSI sensor technology on remotely pilot systems for the purposes of defeating improvised explosives and other explosive threats.
