No irrevocable action may be taken to implement a significant change to Army force structure, including the temporary establishment or stationing of a new or experimental unit of significance, or to announce such a change, until the Secretary of Defense or the Secretary of the Army submits to the congressional defense committees written notification of the plan, including— details and timing of the planned change; justification for the planned change; and the estimated costs and implications of the planned change. The notification requirement under subsection
(a)does not apply if the Secretary of Defense certifies to the congressional defense committees in advance that the planned Army force structure change must be implemented immediately for reasons of national security or military emergency. In this section, the term significant change to Army force structure means— a change in the number, type, or component of brigade-level organizations or higher-echelon headquarters; a change in the number or component of a high-interest capability such as THAAD or hypersonic weapon battery; or an increase or decrease of 1,000 or more military and or civilian personnel from a military function or specialty.
