A bill to improve the planning, programming, and budget coordination for operations of cyber mission force of the Armed Forces, and for other purposes.
This bill aims to enhance the planning, programming, and budget coordination for the operations of the cyber mission force within the Armed Forces. It amends existing law to empower the Commander of the United States Cyber Command with direct authority over the management and execution of resources necessary to train, equip, operate, and sustain these critical cyber forces. Specifically, the Commander will be responsible for preparing a dedicated program objective memorandum and budget estimate submission for cyber mission force resources. This includes creating separate budget materials for the United States Cyber Command to be submitted to Congress, distinct from those of other military departments or components. However, this direct control does not extend to military pay and allowances or funding for facility support provided by the military departments. The legislation also establishes important consultation requirements, mandating that the Cyber Command Commander consult with military department Secretaries on funding for reserve component cyber units, and vice versa, ensuring that any disagreements are documented in budget proposals.
