Requires top military officials to study new ways to build small military projects.
This bill would require high-ranking officials in the Army, Navy, and Air Force to study how they could use agreements with local governments to build smaller military projects. The goal is to see if this approach could make it easier and faster to complete things like lab upgrades or other facility improvements.
Today, the Department of Defense has not formally studied using agreements with local governments for minor military construction projects, especially with higher spending limits. If this bill becomes law, key military officials would be required to assess this potential, including new limits of $18 million for lab projects and $8 million for other projects, and identify specific projects that could benefit.
