The following organizations, persons, or forces are designated associated forces covered by the authorization for use of military force provided by section 3(a) of this joint resolution: Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. Al Shabaab. Al Qaeda in Syria (including Al Nusrah Front). The Haqqani Network. Al Qaeda in the Islamic Mahgreb (AQIM). Not later than 30 calendar days after the date of the enactment of this joint resolution, the President shall designate all organizations, persons, or forces other than those listed in paragraph
(1)that the President has determined are associated forces covered by the authorization for use of military force provided by section 3(a) of this joint resolution by submitting to the appropriate congressional committees and leadership a report listing all such associated forces. Not later than 48 hours after the President determines that a new organization, person, or force is an associated force covered by the authorization for use of military force provided by section 3(a) of this joint resolution, the President shall designate such organization, person, or force as an associated force by submitting a report to the appropriate congressional committees and leadership. Each report required by paragraph
(2)or
(3)shall contain detailed information providing the basis for the designation of each associated force, including classified information relating thereto. During the 60-calendar day period following the submission of any report pursuant to this subsection that designates a new organization, person, or force as an associated force (other than the associated forces identified in paragraph (1)), a qualifying resolution to amend this joint resolution to remove the authorization to use military force against such associated force shall be entitled to expedited procedures pursuant to section 9 of this joint resolution. Not later than 30 calendar days after the date of the enactment of this joint resolution, the President shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees and leadership a report detailing all foreign countries in which the United States is using military force pursuant to this joint resolution, including a detailed description of the military objectives and the organizations, persons, or forces targeted. Not later than 48 hours after the use of military force in a new foreign country pursuant to this joint resolution, the President shall submit an updated report required by this paragraph and consult with the appropriate congressional committees and leadership. Authorization for use of military force pursuant to this joint resolution in a new foreign country is contingent upon the reporting to Congress pursuant to this paragraph. In this resolution, the term new foreign country means a foreign country other than Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Somalia, Yemen, or Libya not previously reported to Congress pursuant to this paragraph. During the 60-calendar day period following the submission of any report pursuant to this subsection that identifies a new foreign country in which the United States is using military force pursuant to this joint resolution, a qualifying resolution to amend this joint resolution to remove the authorization to use military force in such foreign country shall be entitled to expedited procedures pursuant to section 9 of this joint resolution. The reports required by this section may be submitted in a consolidated report, as appropriate, and shall be provided in unclassified form but may include a classified annex.
