Military Installation Readiness and Resilience Act of 2026

The Military Installation Readiness and Resilience Act of 2026 requires the Department of Defense to collect and expand data on how extreme weather and natural disasters impact military bases. Specifically, the Secretary of Defense must ensure that the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment gathers information on the costs and effects of these events at all installations. This provision aims to provide a comprehensive record of how climate-related incidents affect military infrastructure, enabling better tracking of damage and expenses. The bill directly affects the Department of Defense by mandating this specific data collection process.
