This bill requires the Chief of Space Operations to submit a comprehensive report to Congress within one year on the feasibility and advisability of expanding the Multinational Force Operation Olympic Defender. The expansion specifically targets the inclusion of additional allied countries in the Indo-Pacific region , particularly Japan and the Republic of Korea. The report must detail current initiatives for expansion and identify necessary policy changes from potential member nations, as well as any funding or policy adjustments needed from the United States. It also requires an assessment of how such accession would impact United States national security interests , whether it is feasible and in the U.S. national interest for Japan and the Republic of Korea to join, and what additional resources or authorities would be needed from the executive and legislative branches.
