The report required by subsection
(a)shall include the following: A detailed analysis of the current benefits derived, both directly and indirectly, from the Military Selective Service System, including— the extent to which mandatory registration benefits military recruiting; the extent to which a national registration capability serves as a deterrent to potential enemies of the United States; and the extent to which expanding registration to include women would impact these benefits. An analysis of the functions currently performed by the Selective Service System that would be assumed by the Department of Defense in the absence of a national registration capability. An analysis of the systems, manpower, and facilities that would be needed by the Department to physically mobilize inductees in the absence of the Selective Service System. An analysis of the feasibility and utility of eliminating the current focus on mass mobilization of primarily combat troops in favor of a system that focuses on mobilization of all military occupational specialties, and the extent to which such a change would impact the need for both male and female inductees. A detailed analysis of the Department’s personnel needs in the event of an emergency requiring mass mobilization, including— a detailed timeline, along with the factors considered in arriving at this timeline, of when the Department would require— the first inductees to report for service; the first 100,000 inductees to report for service; and the first medical personnel to report for service; and an analysis of any additional critical skills that would be needed in the event of a national emergency, and a timeline for when the Department would require the first inductees to report for service. A list of the assumptions used by the Department when conducting its analysis in preparing the report. Not later than December 1, 2017, the Comptroller General of the United States shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives a review of the procedures used by the Department of Defense in evaluating selective service requirements.
