A bill to provide for interagency tabletop exercises to assess the impacts of Department of Defense decisions during crises and evaluate United States Government tools available to augment Department of Defense capabilities in competition, crisis, and conflict, and for other purposes.
This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to organize unclassified, simulated crisis exercises involving the Department of Defense, economic-focused agencies (like Treasury and Commerce), and the private sector. It directs these exercises to specifically assess how Defense decisions impact the economy during crises and evaluate economic tools the government can use to support military operations. The Secretary must report to Congress by December 2025 on current and planned efforts to include these economic partners in such exercises. The bill directly affects interagency coordination between Defense and economic agencies to improve crisis response planning.
