Authorization for Use of Military Force Resolution of 2023

This bill repeals the 2001 Authorization for Use of Military Force and replaces it with a narrower authorization targeting three specific terrorist groups: al Qaeda in Afghanistan, Islamic State Khorasan in Afghanistan, and Islamic State of Iraq and Syria in Iraq and Syria. It requires the President to annually certify that these groups still pose a direct and substantial threat to the United States and mandates detailed reports to Congress on military actions taken under this authority, including civilian casualties, force used, and diplomatic efforts to reduce extremism. The authorization expires four years after enactment unless Congress reauthorizes it, with a 180-day wind-down period for military operations. The bill establishes specific transparency requirements and congressional oversight mechanisms for military actions against these designated groups.
