MATTERS
Subtitle B--Force Structure Review
SEC. 921. SHORT TITLE.
This subtitle may be cited as the ``Military Force
Structure Review Act of 1996''.
SEC. 922. FINDINGS.
Congress makes the following findings:
(1) Since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991,
the United States has conducted two substantial
assessments of the force structure of the Armed Forces
necessary to meet United States defense requirements.
(2) The assessment by the Bush Administration
(known as the ``Base Force'' assessment) and the
assessment by the Clinton Administration (known as the
``Bottom-Up Review'') were intended to reassess the
force structure of the Armed Forces in light of the
changing realities of the post-Cold War world.
(3) Both assessments served an important purpose in
focusing attention on the need to reevaluate the
military posture of the United States, but the pace of
global change necessitates a new, comprehensive
assessment of the defense strategy of the United States
and the force structure of the Armed Forces required to
meet the threats to the United States in the twenty-
first century.
(4) The Bottom-Up Review has been criticized on
several points, including--
(A) the assumptions underlying the strategy
of planning to fight and win two nearly
simultaneous major regional conflicts;
(B) the force levels recommended to carry
out that strategy; and
(C) the funding proposed for such
recommended force levels.
(5) In response to the recommendations of the
Commission on Roles and Missions of the Armed Forces,
the Secretary of Defense endorsed the concept of
conducting a quadrennial review of the defense program
at the beginning of each newly elected Presidential
administration, and the Department intends to complete
the first such review in 1997.
(6) The review is to involve a comprehensive
examination of defense strategy, the force structure of
the active, guard, and reserve components, force
modernization plans, infrastructure, and other elements
of the defense program and policies in order to
determine and express the defense strategy of the
United States and to establish a revised defense
program through the year 2005.
(7) In order to ensure that the force structure of
the Armed Forces is adequate to meet the challenges to
the national security interests of the United States in
the twenty-first century, to assist the Secretary of
Defense in conducting the review referred to in
paragraph (5), and to assess the appropriate force
structure of the Armed Forces through the year 2010 and
beyond (if practicable), it is important to provide for
the conduct of an independent, nonpartisan review of
the force structure that is more comprehensive than
prior assessments of the force structure, extends
beyond the quadrennial defense review, and explores
innovative and forward-thinking ways of meeting such
challenges.
SEC. 923. QUADRENNIAL DEFENSE REVIEW.
(a) Requirement in 1997.--The Secretary of Defense, in
consultation with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff,
shall complete in 1997 a review of the defense program of the
United States intended to satisfy the requirements for a
Quadrennial Defense Review as identified in the recommendations
of the Commission on Roles and Missions of the Armed Forces.
The review shall include a comprehensive examination of the
defense strategy, force structure, force modernization plans,
infrastructure, budget plan, and other elements of the defense
program and policies with a view toward determining and
expressing the defense strategy of the United States and
establishing a revised defense program through the year 2005.
(b) Involvement of National Defense Panel.--(1) The
Secretary shall apprise the National Defense Panel established
under section 924, on an ongoing basis, of the work undertaken
in the conduct of the review.
(2) Not later than March 14, 1997, the Chairman of the
National Defense Panel shall submit to the Secretary the
Panel's assessment of work undertaken in the conduct of the
review as of that date and shall include in the assessment the

including recommendations for additional matters to be covered
in the review.
(c) Assessments of Review.--Upon completion of the review,
the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the Chairman of
the National Defense Panel, on behalf of the Panel, shall each
prepare and submit to the Secretary such chairman's assessment
of the review in time for the inclusion of the assessment in
its entirety in the report under subsection (d).
(d) Report.--Not later than May 15, 1997, the Secretary
shall submit to the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate
and the Committee on National Security of the House of

comprehensive discussion of the defense strategy of the
United States and the force structure best suited to
implement that strategy.
(2) The threats examined for purposes of the review
and the scenarios developed in the examination of such
threats.
(3) The assumptions used in the review, including
assumptions relating to the cooperation of allies and
mission-sharing, levels of acceptable risk, warning

(4) The effect on the force structure of
preparations for and participation in peace operations
and military operations other than war.
(5) The effect on the force structure of the
utilization by the Armed Forces of technologies
anticipated to be available by the year 2005, including
precision guided munitions, stealth, night vision,
digitization, and communications, and the changes in
doctrine and operational concepts that would result
from the utilization of such technologies.
(6) The manpower and sustainment policies required
under the defense strategy to support engagement in
conflicts lasting more than 120 days.
(7) The anticipated roles and missions of the
reserve components in the defense strategy and the
strength, capabilities, and equipment necessary to
assure that the reserve components can capably
discharge those roles and missions.
(8) The appropriate ratio of combat forces to
support forces (commonly referred to as the ``tooth-to-
tail'' ratio) under the defense strategy, including, in
particular, the appropriate number and size of
headquarter units and Defense Agencies for that
purpose.
(9) The air-lift and sea-lift capabilities required
to support the defense strategy.
(10) The forward presence, pre-positioning, and
other anticipatory deployments necessary under the
defense strategy for conflict deterrence and adequate
military response to anticipated conflicts.
(11) The extent to which resources must be shifted
among two or more theaters under the defense strategy
in the event of conflict in such theaters.
(12) The advisability of revisions to the Unified
Command Plan as a result of the defense strategy.
(13) Any other matter the Secretary considers
appropriate.
