  the action.                                                             

     ``(f) Limitation on Delegation of Authority.--The head of an         

  Executive agency may not delegate any responsibility under this section.

     ``(g) Definition.--In this section, the term `Executive agency' has  

  the meaning given such term in section 105 of title 5, except that the  

  term does not include the General Accounting Office.''.                 

     (b) Clerical Amendment.--The table of sections of the beginning of   

  such chapter is amended by adding at the end the following new item:    





            ``2014. Administrative actions adversely affecting military       

      training or other readiness activities.''.                              



          SEC. 326. COMMON MEASUREMENT OF OPERATIONS TEMPO AND PERSONNEL TEMPO.   



     (a) Means for Measurement.--The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff

  shall, to the maximum extent practicable, develop (1) a common means of 

  measuring the operations tempo (OPTEMPO) of each of the Armed Forces,   

  and (2) a common means of measuring the personnel tempo (PERSTEMPO) of  

  each of the Armed Forces. The Chairman shall consult with the other     

  members of the Joint Chiefs of Staff in developing those common means of

  measurement.                                                            

     (b) Perstempo Measurement.--The measurement of personnel tempo       

  developed by the Chairman shall include a means of identifying the rate 

  of deployment for individual members of the Armed Forces in addition to 

  the rate of deployment for units.                                       



                    SEC. 327. INCLUSION OF AIR FORCE DEPOT MAINTENANCE AS         

          OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE BUDGET LINE ITEMS.                            

     For fiscal year 1999 and each fiscal year thereafter, Air Force      

  depot-level maintenance of materiel shall be displayed as one or more   

  separate line items under each subactivity within the authorization     

  request for operation and maintenance, Air Force, in the proposed budget

  for that fiscal year submitted to Congress pursuant to section 1105 of  

  title 31, United States Code.                                           



          SEC. 328. PROHIBITION OF IMPLEMENTATION OF TIERED READINESS SYSTEM.     



     (a) Prohibition.--The Secretary of a military department may not     

  implement, or be required to implement, a new readiness system for units

  of the Armed Forces (as outlined in sections 329 and 330), under which a

  military unit would be categorized into one of several categories (known

  as ``tiers'') according to the likelihood that the unit will be required

  to respond to a military conflict and the time in which the unit will be

  required to respond, if that system would have the effect of changing   

  the methods used as of October 1, 1996, by the Armed Forces under the   

  jurisdiction of that Secretary for determining the priorities for       

  allocating to such military units funding, personnel, equipment,        

  equipment maintenance, and training resources, and the associated levels

  of readiness of those units that result from those priorities.          

     (b) Report to Congress Requesting Waiver.--If the Secretary of       

  Defense determines, following the review required by sections 329 and   

  330 (or any similar review), that implementation for one or more of the 

  Armed Forces of a tiered readiness system that is prohibited by         

  subsection (a) would be in the national security interests of the United

  States, the Secretary shall submit to Congress a report setting forth   

  that determination, together with the rationale for that determination, 

  and a request for the enactment of legislation to allow implementation  

  of such a system.                                                       

     (c) Rule of Construction.--Nothing in subsection (a) is intended to  

  preclude the Secretary of Defense from taking necessary actions to      

  maintain the combat preparedness of the active and reserve components of

  the Armed Forces.                                                       



          SEC. 329. REPORT ON MILITARY READINESS REQUIREMENTS OF THE ARMED FORCES.



     (a) Requirement for Report.--Not later than January 31, 1998, the    

  Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff shall submit to the congressional 

  defense committees a report on the military readiness requirements of   

  the active and reserve components of the Armed Forces (including combat 

  units, combat support units, and combat service support units). The     

  report shall assess such requirements under a tiered readiness and      

  response system that categorizes a given unit according to the          

  likelihood that it will be required to respond to a military conflict   

  and the time within which it will be required to respond.               

     (b) Preparation by JCS and Commanders of Unified Commands.--The      

  report required by subsection (a) shall be prepared jointly by the      

  Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Chief of Staff of the Army,  

  the Chief of Naval Operations, the Chief of Staff of the Air Force, the 

  Commandant of the Marine Corps, the commander of the Special Operations 

  Command, and the commanders of the other unified commands.              

     (c) Assessment Scenario.--The report shall assess readiness          

  requirements in a scenario that is based on the following assumptions:  

     (1) That the Armed Forces of the United States must be capable of--   



       (A) fighting and winning, in concert with allies, two major theater 

   wars nearly simultaneously; and                                         

     (B) deterring or defeating a strategic attack on the United States.   



       (2) That the forces available for deployment are the forces included

   in the force structure recommended in the Quadrennial Defense Review,   

   including all other planned force enhancements.                         

     (d) Assessment Elements.--(1) The report shall identify, by unit     

  type, all major units of the active and reserve components of the Armed 

  Forces and assess the readiness requirements of the units. Each         

  identified unit shall be categorized within one of the following        

  classifications:                                                        

       (A) Forward-deployed and crisis response forces, or ``Tier I''      

   forces, that possess limited internal sustainment capability and do not 

   require immediate access to regional air bases or ports or overflight   

   rights, including the following:                                        

       (i) Force units that are deployed in rotation at sea or on land     

   outside the United States.                                              

       (ii) Combat-ready crises response forces that are capable of        

   mobilizing and deploying within 10 days after receipt of orders.        

       (iii) Forces that are supported by prepositioning equipment afloat  

   or are capable of being inserted into a theater upon the capture of a   

   port or airfield by forcible entry forces.                              

       (B) Combat-ready follow-on forces, or ``Tier II'' forces, that can  

   be mobilized and deployed to a theater within approximately 60 days     

   after receipt of orders.                                                



       (C) Combat-ready conflict resolution forces, or ``Tier III'' forces,

   that can be mobilized and deployed to a theater within approximately 180

   days after receipt of orders.                                           

       (D) All other active and reserve component force units which are not

   categorized within a classification described in subparagraph (A), (B), 

   or (C).                                                                 

     (2) For the purposes of paragraph (1), the following units are major 

  units:                                                                  

       (A) In the case of the Army or Marine Corps, a brigade and a        

   battalion.                                                              

       (B) In the case of the Navy, a squadron of aircraft, a ship, and a  

   squadron of ships.                                                      

     (C) In the case of the Air Force, a squadron of aircraft.             



     (e) Projection of Savings for Use for Modernization.--The report     

  shall include a projection for fiscal years 1998 through 2003 of the    

  amounts of the savings in operation and maintenance funding that--      

       (1) could be derived by each of the Armed Forces by placing as many 

   units as is practicable into the lower readiness categories among the   

   tiers; and                                                              

     (2) could be made available for force modernization.                  



     (f) Form of Report.--The report under this section shall be submitted

  in unclassified form, but may contain a classified annex.               

     (g) Planned Force Enhancement Defined.--In this section, the term    

  ``planned force enhancement'', with respect to the force structure      

  recommended in the Quadrennial Defense Review, means any future         

  improvement in the capability of the force (including current strategic 

  and future improvement in strategic lift capability) that is assumed in 

  the development of the recommendation for the force structure set forth 

  in the Quadrennial Defense Review.                                      



          SEC. 330. ASSESSMENT OF CYCLICAL READINESS POSTURE OF THE ARMED FORCES. 



     (a) Requirement.--(1) Not later than 120 days after the date of the  

  enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to Congress

  a report on the readiness posture of the Armed Forces described in      

  subsection (b).                                                         

     (2) The Secretary shall prepare the report required under paragraph  

  (1) with the assistance of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In providing such 

  assistance, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff shall consult with

  the Chief of the National Guard Bureau.                                 

     (b) Readiness Posture.--(1) The readiness posture to be covered by   

  the report under subsection (a) is a readiness posture for units of the 

  Armed Forces, or for designated units of the Armed Forces, that provides

  for a rotation of such units between a state of high readiness and a    

  state of low readiness.                                                 

     (2) As part of the evaluation of the readiness posture described in  

  paragraph (1), the report shall address in particular a readiness       

  posture that--                                                          

       (A) establishes within the Armed Forces two equivalent forces each  

   structured so as to be capable of fighting and winning a major theater  

   war; and                                                                

       (B) provides for an alternating rotation of such forces between a   

   state of high readiness and a state of low readiness.                   

     (3) The evaluation of the readiness posture described in paragraph   

  (2) shall be based upon assumptions permitting comparison with the      

  existing force structure as follows:                                    

       (A) That there are assembled from among the units of the Armed      

   Forces two equivalent forces each structured so as to be capable of     

   fighting and winning a major theater war.                               

     (B) That each force referred to in subparagraph (A) includes--        



       (i) four active Army divisions, including one mechanized division,  

   one armored division, one light infantry division, and one division     

   combining airborne units and air assault units, and appropriate support 

   and service support units for such divisions;                           

       (ii) six divisions (or division equivalents) of the Army National   

   Guard or the Army Reserve that are essentially equivalent in structure, 

   and appropriate support and service support units for such divisions;   

     (iii) six aircraft carrier battle groups;                             



     (iv) six active Air Force fighter wings (or fighter wing equivalents);



       (v) four Air Force reserve fighter wings (or fighter wing           

   equivalents); and                                                       

     (vi) one active Marine Corps expeditionary force.                     



       (C) That each force may be supplemented by critical units or units  

   in short supply, including heavy bomber units, strategic lift units, and

   aerial reconnaissance units, that are not subject to the readiness      

   rotation otherwise assumed for purposes of the evaluation or are subject

   to the rotation on a modified basis.                                    

       (D) That units of the Armed Forces not assigned to a force are      

   available for operations other than those essential to fight and win a  

   major theater war, including peace operations.                          

       (E) That the state of readiness of each force alternates between a  

   state of high readiness and a state of low readiness on a frequency     

   determined by the Secretary (but not more often than once every six     

   months) and with only one force at a given state of readiness at any one

   time.                                                                   

       (F) That, during the period of state of high readiness of a force,  

   any operations or activities (including leave and education and training

   of personnel) that detract from the near-term wartime readiness of the  

   force are temporary and their effects on such state of readiness        

   minimized.                                                              

       (G) That units are assigned overseas during the period of state of  

   high readiness of the force to which the units are assigned primarily on

   a temporary duty basis.                                                 

       (H) That, during the period of high readiness of a force, the       

   operational war plans for the force incorporate the divisions (or       

   division equivalents) of the Army Reserve or Army National Guard        

   assigned to the force in a manner such that one such division (or       

   division equivalent) is, on a rotating basis for such divisions (or     

   division equivalents)                                                   



                    during the period, maintained in a high state of readiness and

          dedicated as the first reserve combat division to be transferred        

          overseas in the event of a major theater war.                           

     (c) Report Elements.--The report under this section shall include the

  following elements for the readiness posture described in subsection    

  (b)(2):                                                                 

       (1) An estimate of the range of cost savings achievable over the    

   long term as a result of implementing the readiness posture, including--

       (A) the savings achievable from reduced training levels and         

   readiness levels during periods in which a force referred to in         

   subsection (b)(3)(A) is in a state of low readiness; and                

       (B) the savings achievable from reductions in costs of              

   infrastructure overseas as a result of reduced permanent change of      

   station rotations.                                                      

       (2) An assessment of the potential risks associated with a lower    

   readiness status for units assigned to a force in a state of low        

   readiness under the readiness posture, including the risks associated   

   with the delayed availability of such units overseas in the event of two

   nearly simultaneous major theater wars.                                 

       (3) An assessment of the potential risks associated with requiring  

   the forces under the readiness posture to fight a major war in any      

   theater worldwide.                                                      

       (4) An assessment of the modifications of the current force         

   structure of the Armed Forces that are necessary to achieve the range of

   cost savings estimated under paragraph (1), including the extent of the 

   diminishment, if any, of the military capabilities of the Armed Forces  

   as a result of the modifications.                                       

       (5) An assessment whether or not the risks of diminished military   

   capability associated with implementation of the readiness posture      

   exceed the risks of diminished military capability associated with the  

   modifications of the current force structure necessary to achieve cost  

   savings equivalent to the best case for cost savings resulting from the 

   implementation of the readiness posture.                                

     (d) Form of Report.--The report under this section shall be submitted

  in unclassified form, but may contain a classified annex.               

    (e)  Definitions.--In this section:

  incentives are likely to result in amounts available for allocation     

  under subsection (c)(2) in a fiscal year in excess of the limitation set

  forth in subparagraph (B) of that subsection, the Secretary shall not   

  carry out such additional sales in that fiscal year.

  attributable to a facility of a military department shall be credited to

  the funds available to the facility for the costs of identifying,       

  quantifying, or valuing economic incentives for the reduction of        

  emission of air pollutants. The amount credited shall be equal to the   

  cost incurred in identifying, quantifying, or valuing the economic      

  incentives sold.

  the amount of such balance shall be available to the Department of      

  Defense for allocation by the Secretary to the military departments for 

  programs, projects, and activities necessary for compliance with Federal

  environmental laws, including the purchase of economic incentives for   

  the reduction of emission of air pollutants.                            

     (ii) To the extent practicable, amounts allocated to the military    

  departments under this subparagraph shall be made available to the      

  facilities that generated the economic incentives providing the basis   

  for the amounts.                                                        

     (B) The total amount allocated under this paragraph in a fiscal year 

  from sales of economic incentives may not equal or exceed $500,000.     

     (3) If after crediting under paragraph (1) a balance remains in      

  excess of an amount equal to the limitation set forth in paragraph      

  (2)(B), the amount of the excess shall be covered over into the Treasury

  as miscellaneous receipts.                                              

     (4) Funds credited under paragraph (1) or allocated under paragraph  

  (2) shall be merged with the funds to which credited or allocated, as   

  the case may be, and shall be available for the same purposes and for   

  the same period as the funds with which merged.

  weapon systems and other military equipment identified by the Secretary,

  in consultation with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, as being

  necessary to enable the Armed Forces to conduct a strategic or major    

  theater war.                                                            

     (b) Elements.--The report under subsection (a) shall set forth the   

  following:                                                              

       (1) The systems or equipment identified under subsection (a) that   

   must be maintained and repaired in Government-owned, Government-operated

   facilities, using personnel and equipment of the Department, as a result

   of the Secretary's determination that--                                 



       (A) the work involves unique or valuable workforce skills that      

   should be maintained in the public sector in the national interest;     

       (B) the base of private sector sources having the capability to     

   perform the workloads includes industry sectors that are vulnerable to  

   work stoppages;                                                         

       (C) the private sector sources having the capability to perform the 

   workloads have insufficient workforce levels or skills to perform the   

   depot-level maintenance and repair workloads--                          

       (i) in the quantity necessary, or as rapidly as the Secretary       

   considers necessary, to enable the armed forces to fulfill the national 

   military strategy; or                                                   

       (ii) without a significant disruption or delay in the maintenance   

   and repair of equipment;                                                

       (D) the need for performance of workloads is too infrequent,        

   cyclical, or variable to sustain a reliable base of private sector      

   sources having the workforce levels or skills to perform the workloads; 

       (E) the market conditions or workloads are insufficient to ensure   

   that the price of private sector performance of the workloads can be    

   controlled through competition or other means;                          

       (F) private sector sources are not adequately responsive to the     

   requirements of the Department for rapid, cost-effective, and flexible  

   response to surge requirements or other contingency situations,         

   including changes in the mix or priority of previously scheduled        

   workloads and reassignment of employees to different workloads without  

   the requirement for additional contractual negotiations;                

       (G) private sector sources are less willing to assume responsibility

   for performing the workload as a result of the possibility of direct    

   military or terrorist attack; or                                        

       (H) private sector sources cannot maintain continuity of workforce  

   expertise as a result of high rates of employee turnover.               

       (2) The systems or equipment identified under subsection (a) that   

   must be maintained and repaired in Government-owned facilities, whether 

   Government operated or contractor-operated, as a result of the          

   Secretary's determination that--                                        

       (A) the work involves facilities, technologies, or equipment that   

   are unique and sufficiently valuable that the facilities, technologies, 

   or equipment must be maintained in the public sector in the national    

   interest;                                                               

       (B) the private sector sources having the capability to perform the 

   workloads have insufficient facilities, technology, or equipment to     

   perform the depot-level maintenance and repair workloads--              

       (i) in the quantity necessary, or as rapidly as the Secretary       

   considers necessary, to enable the armed forces to fulfill the national 

   military strategy; or                                                   

       (ii) without a significant disruption or delay in the maintenance   

   and repair of equipment; or                                             

       (C) the need for performance of workloads is too infrequent,        

   cyclical, or variable to sustain a reliable base of private sector      

   sources having the facilities, technology, or equipment to perform the  

   workloads.                                                              

       (3) The systems or equipment identified under subsection (a) that   

   may be maintained and repaired in private sector facilities.            

       (4) The approximate percentage of the total maintenance and repair  

   workload of the Department of Defense necessary for the systems and     

   equipment identified under subsection (a) that would be performed at    

   Department of Defense facilities, and at private sector facilities, as a

   result of the determinations made for purposes of paragraphs (1), (2),  

   and (3).                                                                



                    SEC. 366. REVIEW OF USE OF TEMPORARY DUTY ASSIGNMENTS FOR SHIP

          REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE.                                                 

    (a)  Findings.--Congress makes the following findings:                



       (1) In order to reduce the time that the crew of a naval vessel is  

   away from the homeport of the vessel, the Navy seeks to perform ship    

   repair and maintenance of the vessel at the homeport of the vessel      

   whenever it takes six months or less to accomplish the work involved.   

       (2) At the same time, the Navy seeks to distribute ship repair and  

   maintenance work among the Navy shipyards (known as to ``level load'')  

   in order to more fully utilize personnel resources.                     

       (3) During periods when a Navy shipyard is not utilized to its      

   capacity, the Navy sometimes sends workers at the shipyard, on a        

   temporary duty basis, to perform ship repairs and maintenance at a      

   homeport not having a Navy shipyard.                                    

       (4) This practice is a more efficient use of civilian employees who 

   might otherwise not be fully employed on work assigned to Navy          

   shipyards.                                                              

     (b) Comptroller General Review and Report.--(1) The Comptroller      

  General shall review the Navy's practice of using temporary duty        

  assignments of personnel to perform ship maintenance and repair work at 

  homeports not having Navy shipyards. The review shall include the       

  following:                                                              

       (A) An assessment of the rationale, conditions, and factors         

   supporting the Navy's practice.                                         

     (B) A determination of whether the practice is cost-effective.        



       (C) The factors affecting future requirements for, and the adherence

   to, the practice, together with an assessment of the factors.           

     (2) Not later than May 1, 1998, the Comptroller General shall submit 

  a report on the review to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate 

  and the Committee on National Security of the House of Representatives. 

                    SEC. 367. SENSE OF CONGRESS REGARDING REALIGNMENT OF          

          PERFORMANCE OF GROUND COMMUNICATION-ELECTRONIC WORKLOAD.                

     It is the sense of Congress that the transfer of the ground          

  communication-electronic workload to Tobyhanna Army Depot, Pennsylvania,

  in the realignment of the performance of such function should be carried

  out in adherence to the schedule prescribed for that transfer by the    

  Defense Depot Maintenance Council on March 13, 1997, as follows:        

     (1) Transfer of 20 percent of the workload in fiscal year 1998.       



     (2) Transfer of 40 percent of the workload in fiscal year 1999.       



     (3) Transfer of 40 percent of the workload in fiscal year 2000.
