take their own lives have had no contact with the 7

line of duty, and emergency medical services pro-17

organizations are aligned with the strategic objectives identified by the National Defense
Strategy.
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the
Secretary of State, to provide a report, not later than March 31, 2022, to the House Committee on
Armed Services, with the following information:
(1) the aggregate amount of the United Statesâ monetary contributions to multilateral and
international organizations and the amount of such contributions toward purposes that are

Offered by: Mr. Lamborn of Colorado
In the appropriate place in the report to accompany H.R. 4350, insert the following
new Directive Report Language:
Report on Anti-Ship Systems for Defense of Taiwan
The committee supports the strategic partnership between the U.S. and
Taiwan, and notes the importance of anti-ship systems in defending the territorial
integrity of the Government of Taiwan. The committee further notes the urgent
need for ground-based anti-ship cruise missiles, ground-based cruise missiles, and
anti-ship mines to defend United States and allied forces in the Indo-Pacific
against growing threats and deter conflict in the region. The committee strongly
supports an effort to expand defense industrial cooperation with the Government

the congressional defense committees a report by January 31, 2022, on what anti-
ship systems and capabilities in the extant U.S. military hardware inventory
might be used to enhance the defense of Taiwan, and plans on how these systems

of Taiwan to enhance their self-defense capabilities.

Amendment to H.R. 4350
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022
Offered by: Mr. Scott of Georgia
In the appropriate place in the report to accompany H.R. 4350, insert the following new
Directive Report Language:
Use of Multi-role Contractor Own Contractor Operated Aircraft
The committee understands that Combatant Commanders continue to manage air assets
to maximize ability to meet mission requirements in their Area of Responsibility. It also
understands those forces are composed of combination of organic and contractor personnel
operating single-role and multi-role aircraft and that currently, all contractor owned contractor
operated Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft are dedicated to ISR
missions and contractor owned contractor operated Mobility/Casualty Evacuation aircraft are
dedicated to mobility/casualty evacuation missions. As a result, there are missed opportunities
for cross-over or economies of scale. The committee believes an increase in the use of multi-role
assets could provide Combatant Commanders additional flexibility in executing day-to-day
mission requirements. Any contractor-owned, contractor operated (COCO) solutions considered
should be responsive to validated Joint Service gaps and should be incorporated into their Force
Development processes. However, the committee is concerned about potential tasking and
funding restrictions on the use of contractor owned multi-role capable aircraft and the ability to
execute missions such as air mobility, medical and casualty evacuation and ISR.
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense to provide the congressional
defense committees a briefing, not later than June 1, 2022, on the Department of Defenseâs
ability to utilize contractor owned contractor operated aircraft in a multi-use role. At a minimum,
the briefing will include: challenges and opportunities associated with a single or fleet of
contractor owned contractor operated aircraft equipped to carry out multiple functions and
missions; cost associated with single-role vs multi-use contractor operated contractor owned
aircraft; comparison of operational value associated with single-role vs multi-use contractor
operated contractor owned aircraft; capability of swapping payloads in a timely manner to meet
changing mission requirements; assessment of types of aircraft available to meet multi-role
mission requirements; assessment of single role mission capabilities with similar mission
capabilities on a multi-role aircraft; potential contracting challenges associated with executing
multi-role missions using contractor operated contractor owned aircraft (i.e. air mobility,
medical/casualty evacuation, ISR, etc.); mission prioritization and tasking constraints; and
analysis that weighs the costs, benefits, and risks required to determine the expected impact on
costs and on mission achievement; methods to ensure that multi-role aircraft that will transport
service members are certified to the proper standard; processes for evaluating functions that
could be categorized as inherently governmental or closely associated to governmental services.

new Directive Report Language:
Enterprise Telecommunications Security
The committee asserts that the military forces require a robust telecommunications
infrastructure with built-in resilience and persistent risk mitigations measures.
While the Department must develop enterprise-wide efforts, the regional combatant
commands must also consider regionally specific considerations. These often include
analyses of military-managed and commercially managed infrastructures. To
understand these region-specific considerations devised by combatant commands,
the committee directs the Chief Information Officer of the Department of Defense,
in coordination with the combatant commands, to brief the committee no later than
May 31, 2022 on the evolution of the Departmentâs secure communications
infrastructure. The committee further directs that the briefing should place greater
emphasis on European Command and Indo-Pacific Command, in line with the
National Defense Strategy. The briefing should specifically address how integration
with U.S. hosted commercial capabilities could improve mission effectiveness,
including considerations of reduced latency and increased fidelity through emerging
technologies.

In the appropriate place in the report to accompany H.R. 4350, insert the following
new text:
Defense Security Cooperation Agency briefing on lessons learned from the failure of the ANSF
and partner forces with less capable security forces.
âThe committee is concerned about the failure of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF)
to sustain security operations after the withdrawal of American forces. The rapid failure of the
ANSF raises questions about the Departmentâs ability to oversee security cooperation
programs. After years of training, funding, and embedding with the ANSF, their mission failure
raises serious concerns about how the United States trains and equips certain partner forces.
Training less capable partner forces to fight with American technology and assets, to include
multi-domain intelligence, ISR, close air support, and other sophisticated technology that is not
present organically for host nations, may not achieve U.S. security cooperation objectives nor
develop an enduring capability for partner nations. The committee directs the Secretary of
Defense to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services no later than
December 1, 2021, that includes how the agency plans to incorporate lessons learned from the
failure of the ANSF; and how the agency trains other partner forces with less capable security

Amendment to H.R. 4350
National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022
Offered by: Mr. Kelly of Mississippi
In the appropriate place in the report to accompany H.R. 4350, insert the following
new Directive Report Language:
Military Wellness Programs
Congress is aware of the significant challenges the Department faces regarding both
the readiness and health of the force. The Committee commends the Department for
placing a priority on and making a concerted investment in these matters.
A key aspect to this focus is the integration of human and technological factors to
enhance traditional approaches to readiness. The explosive growth in membership
to a military wellness community of interest should serve as an indicator that our
soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen are reaching out for assistance at an alarming
rate. The significant interest of programs like this give credence that proven, digital
resources may provide a connection and community for members is in high demand.
Given the increasing costs associated with recruiting, training and sustaining the
armed forces, Congress encourages the Department to continue their investment in
existing technologies within the private and non-profit sectors that enhances their
ability to analyze readiness data to better inform the decision-making process.
Accordingly, the committee urges the Department to continue to resource these
programs. The Committee also directs the Secretary of Defense to submit a report
to the Committees of Armed Services of the Senate and the House of
Representatives no later than February 1, 2022, on their plan to leverage existing
digital solutions and capabilities to aid DoD efforts to improve and sustain force
readiness.

National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022
Offered by:
Mr. Gallagher of Wisconsin
In the appropriate place in the report to accompany H.R. 4350, insert the following
new Directive Report Language:
Update on the Limitation of Funds to Institutions of Higher Education Hosting
Confucius Institutes
Section 1062 of the Fiscal Year 2021 (FY21) National Defense Authorization Act
(NDAA) (PL 116-617) placed a limitation on the provision of Department of Defense
funds to institutions of higher education that hosted Confucius Institutes, unless
the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the National Academies of Sciences,
Engineering, and Medicine, determines a waiver is appropriate. Section 1299C of
the same bill established an academic liaison in the Department responsible for
working with the academic and research communities to protect Department-
sponsored academic research of concern from undue foreign influence and threats.
Section 1062 directed that academic liaison manage the waiver process on behalf of
the Secretary, and that waivers may be granted to institutions of higher education
that have taken steps to:
(1) Protect academic freedom at the institution;
(2) Prohibit the application of any foreign law on any campus of the
institution;
(3) Grant full managerial authority of the Confucius Institute to the
institution, including full control over what is being taught, the activities
carried out, the research grants that are made, and who is employed at the
Confucius Institute; and
(4) Engage with the Academic Liaison Officer in the Under Secretary of
Defense for Research and Engineering, and take appropriate measures to
safeguard defense-funded fundamental research activities.
The conferees directed that the Secretary brief the congressional defense
committees on the establishment of the waiver process, including the institutions
for which the waiver has been invoked. The committee is now aware that the
majority of universities have closed or ended their agreements with Confucius
Institutes, and that there are fewer than 20 universities with these contracts today.
Log 989 [Revision 2]
Therefore, the Committee directs the Secretary to provide a briefing to the
Committee on Armed Services of the House of Representatives, not later than
March 1, 2022, on which of these universities that have obtained waivers from the
Secretary and therefore still receive Department funding also host or coordinate
Department programs such as the Reserve Officersâ Training Corps or innovation
programs including the National Security Innovation Network (NSIN).
