Congress finds the following: On April 20th, 2021, before the Committee on Armed Services of the Senate, the Commander of the United States Strategic Command, Admiral Charles A. Richard, said that the basic design criteria in the triad is that you cannot allow a failure of any one leg of the triad to prevent you from being able to do everything the President has ordered you to do. . Admiral Richard further stated that in the event of one leg atrophying, You are completely dependent on the submarine leg, and I’ve already told the Secretary of Defense that under those conditions I would request to re-alert the bombers. .
The Secretary of the Air Force shall develop a cost estimate with respect to re-alerting long-range bombers in the absence of a ground-based leg of the nuclear triad.
