To amend title 32, United States Code, to establish the FireGuard Program as a program of record of the National Guard.

This bill amends title 32, United States Code, to formally establish the FireGuard Program as a mandatory program of record for the National Guard, ensuring its official status and requiring the Secretary to carry it out. The program aims to provide critical early wildfire information to States, counties, municipalities, and Tribal governments. The legislation mandates five annual briefings to the congressional Armed Services Committees, detailing the program's operations and effectiveness. These briefings must include a comparative analysis of wildfire maps, the time elapsed between satellite detection and local alerts, and a review of efforts to integrate emerging surveillance technologies. The FireGuard Program is set to sunset on December 31, 2031 .
