Combat Power Preservation Act of 2023
This bill delays funding for destroying anti-personnel landmines until the Pentagon submits a required report to Congress. It prohibits using Defense Department funds for destroying such munitions before the Secretary of Defense delivers a detailed report within one year of the bill's enactment. The report must cover current landmine policy, 10-year inventory projections, costs for disposal or new production, and military impact assessments. A safety exception allows immediate destruction if munitions pose an active risk to troops. The bill also requires a separate briefing on alternatives to landmines within 180 days.
