To amend title 32, United States Code, to establish the FireGuard Program as a program of record of the National Guard.
HR 5615 establishes the FireGuard Program as a formal, mandatory program within the National Guard under Title 32 of the U.S. Code. It requires the Secretary of Defense to provide annual reports to Congress starting in 2026, detailing which states, counties, municipalities, and tribal governments received wildfire data, comparing fire maps before and after containment, analyzing detection-to-alert times, and reviewing technology integration efforts. The program is set to end on December 31, 2031, with no further authorization after that date. This bill directly affects National Guard operations and local emergency responders receiving wildfire data.
