HR 5193 United States House · 119th Congress

To direct the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to conduct a feasibility study on incorporating militarily-relevant applications of emerging biotechnology into wargaming exercises, and for other purposes.

HR 5193 directs the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff to conduct a feasibility study on incorporating militarily relevant biotechnology applications into existing wargaming exercises. The study must examine biotech enhancements for warfighter performance, battlefield materials, adversaries' biotech uses, and other relevant applications, while consulting with combatant commands and Defense stakeholders. The Joint Chiefs must submit a report within 180 days of enactment, detailing recommended exercise modifications and a plan for updating exercises as biotechnology advances. This bill does not enact new policy but mandates a review to assess how emerging biotech could be integrated into military training simulations.
