Bolstering Indo-Pacific Capabilities Act of 2024

This bill adds Japan and South Korea to a Department of Defense program for testing logistics solutions in contested environments. It requires the Defense Secretary to review military service capabilities for maintaining equipment, prepositioning supplies, and repairing gear when permanent facilities are unavailable in the Indo-Pacific. The review must identify needed resources to reduce risks during operations where supply lines could be disrupted. It also allows limited naval vessel maintenance (up to six ships annually) in foreign shipyards for training exercises lasting under 90 days. The bill directly affects U.S. military services, the Department of Defense, and partner nations Japan and South Korea.
