The authority to designate foreign partner forces as eligible for the provision of collective self-defense support by the United States Armed Forces may not be delegated below the Secretary of Defense. Not later than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense shall review existing designations of foreign partner forces as eligible for the provision of collective self-defense support by the United States Armed Forces and provide the congressional defense committees a certification that such designations remain valid.
Nothing in this section shall be construed as invalidating a designation of foreign partner forces as eligible for the provision of collective self-defense support by the United States Armed Forces that is in effect as of the date of the enactment of this Act. In this section, the term collective self-defense means the use of United States military force to defend designated foreign partner forces, their facilities, and their property.
