It is the sense of Congress that— the Department of Defense released the Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority Strategy (October 2020) and an Implementation Plan for such strategy (August 2021); the purpose of the Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority Strategy is to align electromagnetic spectrum activities across the Department of Defense to solve persistent gaps in the ability of the United States to project, achieve, and sustain electromagnetic spectrum superiority against adversaries and peer competitors, most notably Russia and People’s Republic of China; a goal of the Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority Strategy is to Establish Effective EMS Governance to unify Department of Defense-wide electromagnetic spectrum enterprise activities, develop a continuous process improvement culture, and promote policies that support Department of Defense electromagnetic spectrum capabilities and operations; electromagnetic spectrum superiority underpins each of the four priorities of the 2022 National Defense Strategy of the Department of Defense; the projecting, achievement, and sustainment of electromagnetic spectrum superiority is inherently a joint operational mission that is fundamental to the success of military missions carried out by the United States and its allies across all warfighting domains; electromagnetic spectrum operations leadership in the Pentagon must be consolidated and unambiguous to address persistent gaps in coordination of joint electronic warfare among the services and fragmentation in guidance from leadership in the Department of Defense; and the Secretary of Defense— should provide to Congress an unclassified version of the Implementation Plan for the Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority Strategy in all future updates to the plan; and as part of implementing the Electromagnetic Spectrum Superiority Strategy, should— strengthen governance reforms to ensure necessary senior operational leadership; and provide a coherent response to persistent gaps in joint electromagnetic spectrum operations across the areas of Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership, Personnel, Facilities and Policy (DOTMLPF–P);
