                    Subtitle A--General Military Law
 
            PART I--ORGANIZATION AND GENERAL MILITARY POWERS
 
                    CHAPTER 2--DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE
 
Sec. 113. Secretary of Defense

    (a) There is a Secretary of Defense, who is the head of the 
Department of Defense, appointed from civilian life by the President, by 
and with the advice and consent of the Senate. A person may not be 
appointed as Secretary of Defense within 10 years after relief from 
active duty as a commissioned officer of a regular component of an armed 
force.
    (b) The Secretary is the principal assistant to the President in all 
matters relating to the Department of Defense. Subject to the direction 
of the President and to this title and section 2 of the National 
Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 401), he has authority, direction, and 
control over the Department of Defense.
    (c)(1) The Secretary shall report annually in writing to the 
President and the Congress on the expenditures, work, and 
accomplishments of the Department of Defense during the period covered 
by the report, together with--
        (A) a report from each military department on the expenditures, 
    work, and accomplishments of that department;
        (B) itemized statements showing the savings of public funds, and 
    the eliminations of unnecessary duplications, made under sections 
    125 and 191 of this title; and
        (C) such recommendations as he considers appropriate.

    (2) At the same time that the Secretary submits the annual report 
under paragraph (1), the Secretary shall transmit to the President and 
Congress a separate report from the Reserve Forces Policy Board on the 
reserve programs of the Department of Defense and on any other matters 
that the Reserve Forces Policy Board considers appropriate to include in 
the report.
    (d) Unless specifically prohibited by law, the Secretary may, 
without being relieved of his responsibility, perform any of his 
functions or duties, or exercise any of his powers through, or with the 
aid of, such persons in, or organizations of, the Department of Defense 
as he may designate.
    (e)(1) The Secretary shall include in his annual report to Congress 
under subsection (c)--
        (A) a description of the major military missions and of the 
    military force structure of the United States for the next fiscal 
    year;
        (B) an explanation of the relationship of those military 
    missions to that force structure; and
        (C) the justification for those military missions and that force 
    structure.

    (2) In preparing the matter referred to in paragraph (1), the 
Secretary shall take into consideration the content of the annual 
national security strategy report of the President under section 108 of 
the National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. 404a) for the fiscal year 
concerned.
    (f) When a vacancy occurs in an office within the Department of 
Defense and the office is to be filled by a person appointed from 
civilian life by the President, by and with the advice and consent of 
the Senate, the Secretary of Defense shall inform the President of the 
qualifications needed by a person serving in that office to carry out 
effectively the duties and responsibilities of that office.
    (g)(1) The Secretary of Defense, with the advice and assistance of 
the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, shall provide annually to the 
heads of Department of Defense components written policy guidance for 
the preparation and review of the program recommendations and budget 
proposals of their respective components. Such guidance shall include 
guidance on--
        (A) national security objectives and policies;
        (B) the priorities of military missions; and
        (C) the resource levels projected to be available for the period 
    of time for which such recommendations and proposals are to be 
    effective.

    (2) The Secretary of Defense, with the approval of the President and 
after consultation with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, shall 
provide to the Chairman written policy guidance for the preparation and 
review of contingency plans. Such guidance shall be provided every two 
years or more frequently as needed and shall include guidance on the 
specific force levels and specific supporting resource levels projected 
to be available for the period of time for which such plans are to be 
effective.
    (h) The Secretary of Defense shall keep the Secretaries of the 
military departments informed with respect to military operations and 
activities of the Department of Defense that directly affect their 
respective responsibilities.
    (i)(1) The Secretary of Defense shall transmit to Congress each year 
a report that contains a comprehensive net assessment of the defense 
capabilities and programs of the armed forces of the United States and 
its allies as compared with those of their potential adversaries.
    (2) Each such report shall--
        (A) include a comparison of the defense capabilities and 
    programs of the armed forces of the United States and its allies 
    with the armed forces of potential adversaries of the United States 
    and allies of the United States;
        (B) include an examination of the trends experienced in those 
    capabilities and programs during the five years immediately 
    preceding the year in which the report is transmitted and an 
    examination of the expected trends in those capabilities and 
    programs during the period covered by the future-years defense 
    program submitted to Congress during that year pursuant to section 
    221 of this title;
        (C) include a description of the means by which the Department 
    of Defense will maintain the capability to reconstitute or expand 
    the defense capabilities and programs of the armed forces of the 
    United States on short notice to meet a resurgent or increased 
    threat to the national security of the United States;
        (D) reflect, in the overall assessment and in the strategic and 
    regional assessments, the defense capabilities and programs of the 
    armed forces of the United States specified in the budget submitted 
    to Congress under section 1105 of title 31 in the year in which the 
    report is submitted and in the five-year defense program submitted 
    in such year; and
        (E) identify the deficiencies in the defense capabilities of the 
    armed forces of the United States in such budget and such five-year 
    defense program.

    (3) The Secretary shall transmit to Congress the report required for 
each year under paragraph (1) at the same time that the President 
submits the budget to Congress under section 1105 of title 31 in that 
year. Such report shall be transmitted in both classified and 
unclassified form.
    (j)(1) Not later than April 8 of each year, the Secretary of Defense 
shall submit to the Committee on Armed Services and the Committee on 
Appropriations of the Senate and the Committee on Armed Services and the 
Committee on Appropriations of the House of Representatives a report on 
the cost of stationing United States forces outside of the United 
States. Each such report shall include a detailed statement of the 
following:
        (A) Costs incurred in the United States and costs incurred 
    outside the United States in connection with the stationing of 
    United States forces outside the United States.
        (B) The costs incurred outside the United States in connection 
    with operating, maintaining, and supporting United States forces 
    outside the United States, including all direct and indirect 
    expenditures of United States funds in connection with such 
    stationing.
        (C) The effect of such expenditures outside the United States on 
    the balance of payments of the United States.

    (2) Each report under this subsection shall be prepared in 
consultation with the Secretary of Commerce.
    (3) In this subsection, the term ``United States'', when used in a 
geographic sense, includes the territories and possessions of the United 
States.
    (k) The Secretary of Defense, with the advice and assistance of the 
Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, shall provide annually to the 
Secretaries of the military departments and to the commanders of the 
combatant commands written guidelines to direct the effective detection 
and monitoring of all potential aerial and maritime threats to the 
national security of the United States. Those guidelines shall include 
guidance on the specific force levels and specific supporting resources 
to be made available for the period of time for which the guidelines are 
to be in effect.
    (l) The Secretary shall include in the annual report to Congress 
under subsection (c) the following:
        (1) A comparison of the amounts provided in the defense budget 
    for support and for mission activities for each of the preceding 
    five fiscal years.
        (2) A comparison of the number of military and civilian 
    personnel, shown by major occupational category, assigned to support 
    positions and to mission positions for each of the preceding five 
    fiscal years.
        (3) An accounting, shown by service and by major occupational 
    category, of the number of military and civilian personnel assigned 
    to support positions during each of the preceding five fiscal years.
        (4) A listing of the number of military and civilian personnel 
    assigned to management headquarters and headquarters support 
    activities as a percentage of military end-strength for each of the 
    preceding five fiscal years.

    (m) Information To Accompany Funding Request for Contingency 
Operation.--Whenever the President submits to Congress a request for 
appropriations for costs associated with a contingency operation that 
involves, or likely will involve, the deployment of more than 500 
members of the armed forces, the Secretary of Defense shall submit to 
Congress a report on the objectives of the operation. The report shall 
include a discussion of the following:
        (1) What clear and distinct objectives guide the activities of 
    United States forces in the operation.
        (2) What the President has identified on the basis of those 
    objectives as the date, or the set of conditions, that defines the 
    endpoint of the operation.

                            1988 Act

    Subsection (k) is based on Pub. L. 100-202, Sec. 101(b) [title VIII, 
Sec. 8042], 101 Stat. 1329-69.
    Section 8042 of the FY88 Defense Appropriations Act (Public Law 100-
202) established a requirement for the Secretary of Defense to submit an 
annual report on the cost of stationing United States forces overseas. 
Under that section, the annual report is to be sent to the Committees on 
Appropriations of the two Houses. In codifying that section as section 
113(k) of title 10, the committee added the two Armed Services 
Committees as committees to be sent the annual report. This minor change 
from the source law does not change the nature of the report to be 
submitted.
    The committee notes that the source section does not specify the 
period of time to be covered by the report. In the absence of statutory 
language specifying the period to be covered by the report, it would 
seem reasonable to conclude that the report should cover the previous 
fiscal year. The committee notes, however, that the report of the Senate 
Appropriations Committee on its FY88 defense appropriations bill (S. 
Rpt. 100-235) states that this new annual report ``should cover the 
budget years and the 2 previous fiscal years'' (page 54). The committee 
believes that such a requirement may be unnecessarily burdensome and in 
any case, if such a requirement is intended, should be stated in the 
statute. In the absence of clear intent, the provision is proposed to be 
codified without specifying the period of time to be covered by the 
annual report.
    In codifying this provision, the committee also changed the term 
``United States troops'' in the source law to ``United States forces'' 
for consistency in usage in title 10 and as being preferable usage. No 
change in meaning is intended. The committee also changed ``overseas'' 
to ``outside the United States'' and defined ``United States'' for this 
purpose to include the territories and possessions of the United States. 
The committee was concerned that the term ``overseas'' read literally 
could include Hawaii or Guam, an interpretation clearly not intended in 
enacting section 8042. The committee notes that the Senate report 
referred to above states ``For the purposes of this report [meaning the 
new DOD annual report], U.S. forces stationed overseas are considered to 
be those outside of the United States and its territories.''. The 
committee extrapolates from this statement that provisions in the report 
requirement relating to expenditures ``overseas'' and costs incurred 
``overseas'' are also to be construed as relating to matters outside the 
United States and its territories and has prepared the codified 
provision accordingly.

    self-destructing antipersonnel landmines, except those used for 
    training purposes and in Korea, and that the United States would 
    reserve the right to use self-destructing antipersonnel landmines in 
    the event of conflict.
        ``(3) On May 16, 1996, the President also announced that the 
    United States would lead an effort to negotiate an international 
    treaty permanently banning the use of all antipersonnel landmines.
        ``(4) The United States is currently participating at the United 
    Nations Conference on Disarmament in negotiations aimed at achieving 
    a global ban on the use of antipersonnel landmines.
        ``(5) On August 18, 1997, the administration agreed to 
    participate in international negotiations sponsored by Canada (the 
    so-called `Ottawa process') designed to achieve a treaty that would 
    outlaw the production, use, and sale of antipersonnel landmines.
        ``(6) On September 17, 1997, the President announced that the 
    United States would not sign the antipersonnel landmine treaty 
    concluded in Oslo, Norway, by participants in the Ottawa process 
    because the treaty would not provide a geographic exception to allow 
    the United States to stockpile and use antipersonnel landmines in 
    Korea or an exemption that would preserve the ability of the United 
    States to use mixed antitank mine systems which could be used to 
    deter an armored assault against United States forces.
        ``(7) The President also announced a change in United States 
    policy whereby the United States--
            ``(A) would no longer deploy antipersonnel landmines, 
        including self-destructing antipersonnel landmines, by 2003, 
        except in Korea;
            ``(B) would seek to field alternatives by that date, or by 
        2006 in the case of Korea;
            ``(C) would undertake a new initiative in the United Nations 
        Conference on Disarmament to establish a global ban on the 
        transfer of antipersonnel landmines; and
            ``(D) would increase its current humanitarian demining 
        activities around the world.
        ``(8) The President's decision would allow the continued use by 
    United States forces of self-destructing antipersonnel landmines 
    that are used as part of a mixed antitank mine system.
        ``(9) Under existing law (as provided in section 580 of Public 
    Law 104-107; 110 Stat. 751), on February 12, 1999, the United States 
    will implement a one-year moratorium on the use of antipersonnel 
    landmines by United States forces except along internationally 
    recognized national borders or in demilitarized zones within a 
    perimeter marked area that is monitored by military personnel and 
    protected by adequate means to ensure the exclusion of civilians.
    ``(b) Sense of Congress.--It is the sense of Congress that--
        ``(1) the United States should not implement a moratorium on the 
    use of antipersonnel landmines by United States Armed Forces in a 
    manner that would endanger United States personnel or undermine the 
    military effectiveness of United States Armed Forces in executing 
    their missions; and
        ``(2) the United States should pursue the development of 
    alternatives to self-destructing antipersonnel landmines.
    ``(c) Annual Report.--Not later than December 31 each year, the 
Secretary of Defense shall submit to the congressional defense 
committees [Committees on Armed Services and Appropriations of Senate 
and House of Representatives] a report concerning antipersonnel 
landmines. Each such report shall include the Secretary's description of 
the following:
        ``(1) The military utility of the continued deployment and use 
    by the United States of antipersonnel landmines.
        ``(2) The effect of a moratorium on the production, stockpiling, 
    and use of antipersonnel landmines on the ability of United States 
    forces to deter and defend against attack on land by hostile forces, 
    including on the Korean peninsula.
        ``(3) Progress in developing and fielding systems that are 
    effective substitutes for antipersonnel landmines, including an 
    identification and description of the types of systems that are 
    being developed and fielded, the costs associated with those 
    systems, and the estimated timetable for developing and fielding 
    those systems.
        ``(4) The effect of a moratorium on the use of antipersonnel 
    landmines on the military effectiveness of current antitank mine 
    systems.
        ``(5) The number and type of pure antipersonnel landmines that 
    remain in the United States inventory and that are subject to 
    elimination under the President's September 17, 1997, declaration on 
    United States antipersonnel landmine policy.
        ``(6) The number and type of mixed antitank mine systems that 
    are in the United States inventory, the locations where they are 
    deployed, and their effect on the deterrence and warfighting ability 
    of United States Armed Forces.
        ``(7) The effect of the elimination of pure antipersonnel 
    landmines on the warfighting effectiveness of the United States 
    Armed Forces.
        ``(8) The costs already incurred and anticipated of eliminating

    accordance with the policy enunciated by the President on September 
    17, 1997.

    and civilian personnel from an international treaty banning the 
    production, use, transfer, and stockpiling of antipersonnel 
    landmines.''

    Ex. Ord. No. 12765, June 11, 1991, 56 F.R. 27401, provided:
    By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and 
the laws of the United States of America, including section 301 of title 
3 of the United States Code, and my authority as Commander in Chief of 
the Armed Forces of the United States, it is hereby ordered as follows:
    Section 1. The Secretary of Defense is hereby designated and 
empowered, without the approval, ratification, or other action by the 
President, to exercise the authority vested in the President by section 
749 of title 10 of the United States Code to assign the command without 
regard to rank in grade to any commissioned officer otherwise eligible 
to command when two or more commissioned officers of the same grade or 
corresponding grades are assigned to the same area, field command, or 
organization.
    Sec. 2. The Secretary of Defense is hereby designated and empowered, 
without the approval, ratification, or other action by the President, to 
exercise the authority vested in the President by section 7299a(a) of 
title 10 of the United States Code to direct that combatant vessels and 
escort vessels be constructed in a Navy or private yard, as the case may 
be, if the requirement of the Act of March 27, 1934 (ch. 95, 48 Stat. 
503) that the first and each succeeding alternate vessel of the same 
class be constructed in a Navy yard is inconsistent with the public 
interest.
    Sec. 3. For vessels, and for any major component of the hull or 
superstructure of vessels to be constructed or repaired for any of the 
armed forces, the Secretary of Defense is hereby designated and 
empowered, without the approval, ratification, or other action by the 
President, to exercise the authority vested in the President by section 
7309(b) of title 10 of the United States Code to authorize exceptions to 
the prohibition in section 7309(a) of title 10 of the United States 
Code. Such exceptions shall be based on a determination that it is in 
the national security interest of the United States to authorize an 
exception. The Secretary of Defense shall transmit notice of any such 
determination to the Congress, as required by section 7309(b).
    Sec. 4. The Secretary of Defense may redelegate the authority 
delegated to him by this order, in accordance with applicable law.
    Sec. 5. This order shall be effective immediately.

 Waiver of Limitation With Respect to End Strength Level of U.S. Armed 
                  Forces in Japan for Fiscal Year 1991

    Memorandum of the President of the United States, May 14, 1991, 56 
F.R. 23991, provided:
    Memorandum for the Secretary of Defense
    Consistent with section 8105(d)(2) of the Department of Defense 
Appropriation Act, 1991 (Public Law 101-511; 104 Stat. 1856) [set out 
above], I hereby waive the limitation in section 8105(b) which states 
that the end strength level for each fiscal year of all personnel of the 
Armed Forces of the United States stationed in Japan may not exceed the 
number that is 5,000 less than such end strength level for the preceding 
fiscal year, and declare that it is in the national interest to do so.
    You are authorized and directed to inform the Congress of this 
waiver and of the reasons for the waiver contained in the attached 
justification, and to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register.
                                                            George Bush.

 Justification Pursuant to Section 8105(d)(2) of the Department 
of Defense Appropriations Act, 1991 (Public Law No. 101-511; 104 
                           Stat. 1856)

    In January of this year the Department of Defense signed a new Host 
Nation Support Agreement with the Government of Japan in which that 
government agreed to pay all utility and Japanese labor costs 
incrementally over the next five years (worth $1.7 billion). Because 
United States forward deployed forces stationed in Japan have regional 
missions in addition to the defense of Japan, we did not seek to have 
the Government of Japan offset all of the direct costs incurred by the 
United States related to the presence of all United States military 
personnel in Japan (excluding military personnel title costs).
