Consistent with the provisions of the Lord’s Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act of 2009 ( Public Law 111–172 ), it is the sense of Congress that— the ongoing United States advise and assist operation in support of regional governments in Central Africa and the African Union to remove Joseph Kony and his top commanders from the battlefield and end atrocities perpetuated by the Lord’s Resistance Army, also known as Operation Observant Compass, has made significant progress in achieving its objectives; the Department of Defense should continue its support of Operation Observant Compass, particularly through the provision of key enablers, such as mobility assets and targeted intelligence collection and analytical support, to enable regional partners to effectively conduct operations against Joseph Kony and the Lord’s Resistance Army;

Operation Observant Compass must be integrated into a comprehensive strategy to support security and stability in the region; and the regional governments should recommit themselves to the Regional Cooperation Initiative for the Elimination of the Lord’s Resistance Army authorized by the African Union.
