It is the sense of Congress that— counter-improvised explosive device tactics, techniques, and procedures used in Iraq and Afghanistan have produced important technical data, lessons learned, and enduring technology critical to mitigating the devastating effects of improvised explosive devices, which have been the leading cause of combat fatalities in the United States Central Command area of operations since 2002, and whose use are now expanding to other Global Combatant Commands area of operations; without the preservation of knowledge about counter-improvised explosive devices, the Nation could fail to take full advantage of the hard earned lessons and investments of the past decade of counter-improvised explosive device operations to enhance warfighter readiness; and the Department of Defense should remain dedicated to retaining a knowledge base relating to counter-improvised explosive devices to ensure lessons learned and investments are maximized for future benefits.
