As part of the budget justification documents submitted to Congress in support of the budget for the Department of Defense for fiscal year 2016, the Secretary of Defense shall include the following: Two force-structure plans for each of the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps for the 20-year period beginning with fiscal year 2016, including the probable end-strength levels and major military force units (including land force divisions, carrier and other major combatant vessels, air wings, and other comparable units) needed to meet anticipated threats, and the anticipated levels of funding that will be available for national defense purposes during such period.
One force-structure plan shall reflect the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review and the other force-structure plan shall reflect the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 ( 2 U.S.C. 900 et seq. ), as amended by title I of the Budget Control Act of 2011 ( Public Law 112–25 ) and section 101 of the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013 ( Public Law 113–67 ). A comprehensive inventory of military installations world-wide for each military department, with specifications of the number and type of facilities in the active and reserve forces of each military department.
Using the force-structure plans and infrastructure inventory prepared under subsection (a), the Secretary of Defense shall prepare (and include as part of the submission of such plans and inventory) the following: A description of the infrastructure necessary to support the force structure described in each force-structure plan. A discussion of categories of excess infrastructure and infrastructure capacity, and the Secretary’s targets for the reduction of such excess capacity.
An assessment of the excess infrastructure and the value of retaining certain excess infrastructure to support surge or reversibility requirements. An economic analysis of the effect of the closure or realignment of military installations to reduce excess infrastructure. In determining the level of necessary versus excess infrastructure under subsection (b), the Secretary of Defense shall consider the following: The anticipated continuing need for and availability of military installations outside the United States, taking into account current restrictions on the use of military installations outside the United States and the potential for future prohibitions or restrictions on the use of such military installations.
Any efficiencies that may be gained from joint tenancy by more than one branch of the Armed Forces at a military installation or the reorganization or association of two or more military installations as a single military installation. On the basis of the force-structure plans and infrastructure inventory prepared under subsection
(a)and the descriptions and economic analysis prepared under subsection (b), the Secretary of Defense shall include as part of the submission of the plans and inventory a certification regarding whether the need exists for the closure or realignment of additional military installations. As a condition on the certification under paragraph
(1)that the need for an additional round of closures and realignments exists, the Secretary shall include an additional certification that every recommendation for the closure or realignment of military installations in the additional round of closures and realignments will result in annual net savings for each of the military departments within six years after the initiation of the additional round of closures and realignments. If the certifications are provided under subsection (d), the Comptroller General of the United States shall prepare an evaluation of the following: The force-structure plans and infrastructure inventory prepared under subsection (a), including an evaluation of the accuracy and analytical sufficiency of the plans and inventory. The need for the closure or realignment of additional military installations. The Comptroller General shall submit the evaluation to Congress not later than 60 days after the date on which the force-structure plans and infrastructure inventory are submitted to Congress.
