Chapter 3 of title 10, United States Code, is amended by adding at the end the following new section: The Secretary of Defense shall promptly submit to the congressional defense committees notice in writing of any sensitive military operation conducted under this title following such operation. Department of Defense support to operations conducted under the National Security Act of 1947 ( 50 U.S.C. 3001 et seq. ) is addressed in the classified annex prepared to accompany the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2014. The Secretary of Defense shall establish and submit to the congressional defense committees procedures for complying with the requirements of subsection
(a)consistent with the national security of the United States and the protection of operational integrity. The congressional defense committees shall ensure that committee procedures designed to protect from unauthorized disclosure classified information relating to national security of the United States are sufficient to protect the information that is submitted to the committees pursuant to this section. The Secretary of Defense shall periodically brief the congressional defense committees on Department of Defense personnel and equipment assigned to sensitive military operations. The term sensitive military operation means a lethal operation or capture operation conducted by the armed forces outside the United States and outside a theater of major hostilities pursuant to— the Authorization for Use of Military Force ( Public Law 107–40 ; 50 U.S.C. 1541 note); or any other authority except— a declaration of war; or a specific statutory authorization for the use of force other than the authorization referred to in paragraph (1).

The table of sections at the beginning of such chapter is amended by inserting after the item relating to section 130e the following new item: 130f.
