the patrons of those systems or the revenue generated by
nonappropriated fund entities or instrumentalities of the Department of
Defense for the morale, welfare, and recreation of members of the armed
forces.
``(B) The Secretary shall ensure that savings generated due to such
optimization practices are shared by the defense commissary system and

Optimization.--Section 2483(c) of such title is amended by adding at
the end the following new sentence: ``Such appropriated amounts may

amended by adding at the end the following new subsections:
``(i) Alternative Pricing Program.--(1) The Secretary of Defense

this subsection, an alternative pricing program pursuant to which
prices may be established in response to market conditions and customer
demand. Prices under the alternative pricing program shall reflect the
uniform sales price surcharge applicable under subsection (d)
``(2) Before establishing an alternative pricing program under this
subsection, the Secretary shall establish the following:
``(A) Specific, measurable benchmarks for success in the
provision of high quality grocery merchandise, discount savings
to patrons, and levels of customer satisfaction while achieving
savings for the Department of Defense.
``(B) A baseline of overall savings to patrons achieved by
commissary stores before the initiation of the alternative
pricing program, based on a comparison of prices charged by
those stores on a regional basis with prices charged by
relevant local competitors for a representative market basket
of goods. In determining the savings baseline, the Secretary
shall take into account the effect of the surcharges added
under the pricing program by reason of subsection (d).
``(3) The Secretary shall ensure that the defense commissary system
implements the alternative pricing program by conducting price
comparisons using the methodology established for paragraph (2)(B) and
adjusting pricing as necessary to ensure that pricing in the
alternative pricing program achieves overall savings to patrons that
are reasonably consistent with the baseline savings established for the
relevant region pursuant to such paragraph.
``(j) Conversion to Nonappropriated Fund Entity or
Instrumentality.--(1) If the Secretary of Defense determines that the
alternative pricing program under subsection (i) has met the benchmarks
for success established pursuant to subsection (i)(2)(A) and the
savings requirements established pursuant to subsection (i)(3) over a
period of at least six months, the Secretary may convert the defense
commissary system to a nonappropriated fund entity or instrumentality,
with operating expenses financed in whole or in part by receipts from
the sale of products and the sale of services. Upon such conversion,
appropriated funds shall be transferred to the defense commissary
system only in accordance with paragraph (2) or section 2491 of this
title. The requirements of section 2483 of this title shall not apply
to the defense commissary system operating as a nonappropriated fund
entity or instrumentality.
``(2) If the Secretary determines that the defense commissary
system operating as a nonappropriated fund entity or instrumentality is
not likely, in any fiscal year, to afford the level of patron savings
required in subsection (i)(3), the Secretary may authorize a transfer
of appropriated funds available for such purpose to the commissary
system in an amount sufficient to offset the anticipated loss. Any
funds so transferred shall be considered to be nonappropriated funds
for such purpose.
``(3) The Secretary may identify positions of employees in the
defense commissary system who are paid with appropriated funds whose
status may be converted to the status of an employee of a
nonappropriated fund entity or instrumentality. The status and
conversion of such employees shall be addressed as provided in section
2491(c) of this title for employees in morale, welfare, and recreation
programs. No individual who is an employee of the defense commissary
system as of the date of the enactment of this subsection shall suffer
any loss of or decrease in pay as a result of the conversion.''.
(d) Establishment of Common Business Practices.--Section 2487 of
such title is amended--

agreement entered by the nonappropriated fund entity or
instrumentality that is attributable to the defense commissary
system; and
``(B) authorize the defense commissary system to accept
reimbursement from a nonappropriated fund entity or

administrative entity within the Department of Defense through which

a world-wide system of exchange stores.''.

Fund Entity.--In the event that the defense commissary system is

authorized by section 2484(j)(1) of title 10, United States Code, as
added by subsection (c) of this section, the Secretary of Defense may--
(1) provide for the transfer of commissary assets,

system are appropriately credited to the nonappropriated fund

SEC. 704. COVERAGE OF MEDICALLY NECESSARY FOOD AND VITAMINS FOR
DIGESTIVE AND INHERITED METABOLIC DISORDERS UNDER THE

safe and effective management of many digestive and inherited

patients, it is often expensive and not uniformly reimbursed by
health insurance, leaving many families with an insurmountable

necessary food may experience adverse health consequences from
suboptimal disease management, including hospitalization,
intellectual impairment, behavioral dysfunction, inadequate
growth, nutrient deficiencies, and even death.

(c) Plan.--
(1) In general.--In carrying out the pilot program, the
Secretary shall develop, for each combatant command
participating in the pilot program, a plan to--
(A) disestablish, and prohibit the reestablishment
of, any subordinate command of such combatant command
that is organized by a service of the Armed Forces;
(B) identify the major missions and contingencies
in the area of responsibility of such combatant command
that would require a military response;
(C) establish subordinate commands for such
combatant command in the form of joint task forces, as
described in subsection (d);
(D) select a commander of an appropriate grade to
lead each joint task force so established based on the
scale and complexity of the mission that such task
force must perform; and
(E) describe any additional authorities,
specialized training, or other organizational elements
that such joint task forces may require to meet the
objectives of the plan.
(2) Objectives.--The objectives of each plan under this
subsection shall be--
(A) to provide for a greater emphasis on
operational military missions;
(B) to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of
the combatant command concerned in performing the
missions of the combatant command through better
integration of functional components and capabilities,
both from within the combatant command and across the
Department of Defense;
(C) to create more flexible and responsive
subordinate commands that can be established, grown,
reduced, altered, or disestablished based on the
changing nature of threats and contingencies in the
area of responsibility of the combatant command
concerned;
(D) to devolve responsibility and initiative, to
the greatest extent practicable, to lower levels in the
combatant command concerned, eliminating unnecessary
layers of management and headquarters staff, and
reducing the cost and time to perform mission critical
tasks;
(E) to enhance the ability of the combatant command
concerned to execute global defense strategies and
address threats that span multiple regions, functions,
and domains, involve different durations of time, and
lack clearly defined phases of conflict; and
(F) to enable the commander of the combatant
command concerned to integrate the activities of the
combatant command across wider spans of control with
fewer personnel and resources, and to focus more
consistently on the strategic missions of the combatant
command, including coordination with other combatant
commands and engagement with key foreign partners.
(3) Problems to overcome.--The problems that each plan
under this subsection shall seek to overcome are--
(A) deficiencies in the current organization of the
unified combatant commands that have led senior leaders
over many years to rely increasingly on the
establishment of ad hoc joint task forces to meet
critical emergent requirements for the combatant
commands;
(B) dramatic growth in the size of staffs of the
unified combatant commands that inhibit an effective
and efficient performance of missions, lead to
duplication of effort, and draw limited vital resources
away from operational units and toward bureaucratic
staffing functions;
(C) hierarchal, time-intensive, and resource-
intensive planning and decision-making processes that
are required to compensate for, and attempt to achieve
integration among, functional command structures
oriented around separate Armed Forces;
(D) antiquated approaches to persistent, trans-
regional, cross-functional, and multi-domain threats
that cannot be addressed through discrete and isolated
operational plans based on a clear commencement of
hostilities leading to combat operations; and
(E) misaligned priorities that result in unified
combatant commands being overly focused on mission
support activities (such as intelligence analysis and
regional theater engagement) and insufficiently focused
on the operational missions of the combatant commands.
(4) Preparation.--Each plan under this subsection shall be
prepared in consultation with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs
of Staff and the commander of the combatant command concerned.
(5) Deadline for development.--Any plan to be developed
under this subsection shall be completed by not later than

subsection (c) shall be--
(A) established and organized as a cross-functional
team with the primary purpose of performing an
identified mission or providing essential support and
enabling capabilities to task forces performing such
missions;
(B) assigned the necessary number and mixture of
Armed Forces personnel and related capabilities to
perform the mission of such task force;
(C) organized and sized in a manner that best
reflects the scope, scale, complexity, and priority of
the mission that such task force is required to perform
or support;
(D) comprised of representatives from each
functional component from across the Department of
Defense that is relevant to the performance of the
mission of such task force, including the Armed Forces,
other unified combatant commands, other joint task
forces that are subordinate to the same or another
unified combatant command, defense intelligence
agencies, other combat support agencies, and
acquisition offices; and
(E) commanded by a military officer of appropriate
grade who would be selected as prescribed by section
164(e) of title 10, United States Code, and overseen by
the commander of the combatant command as prescribed by
section 164(d) of such title were such joint task force
the subordinate command of a unified combatant command.
(2) Purposes.--The purpose of each joint task force
established pursuant to this subsection shall be to achieve the
operational military mission of such task force, including by--
(A) integrating all the functional components
within such task force into joint efforts;

consistent with the orders of the commander of the
combatant command concerned and the defense strategy of
the Department of Defense;

command concerned any additional resources and
capabilities that the commander of such joint task
force determines necessary to achieve the mission of
such task force;

command concerned or other unified combatant commands
that are performing related missions or addressing
similar threats;

from the area of responsibility of such task force that
are necessary to achieving the military mission of such
task force; and

developmental capabilities that the commander of such
task force considers essential to the mission of such
task force.

make clear and effective strategic choices in a timely
manner to achieve such missions.
(C) To clarify responsibility and accountability in
the decision-making processes in the Department.

making processes oriented around functional
bureaucratic structures that are excessively parochial,
duplicative, resistant to integration, and result in
unclear, consensus-based outcomes that often constrain
the ability of the Department to achieve core missions
effectively and efficiently.
(B) Layering of management structures and processes
that result in decisions being made by higher levels of
management where the authority for cross-functional
integration exists but detailed substantive expertise
is often lacking or being reduced to lowest common
denominator recommendations to senior leaders that
suppress rather than resolve disputes across functional
organizations.
(C) Weak leadership skills and culture in the
Office of the Secretary of Defense.
(D) Misaligned incentives and a culture that
rewards bureaucratic parochialism and inertia, risk
avoidance, and the deferral or delay of decisions.

with the impediments specified in paragraph (3), the strategy
shall address, and seek to eliminate, the following:
(A) A noncollaborative culture within the
Department that lacks shared purpose and values.

consequences of real or perceived failure, or from the
absence of positive or negative incentives to reduce
such risk aversion.
(C) Lack of viable alternative mechanisms for
achieving the integration of the functional components
of the Department and for aligning expertise and
decision-making authority at the most efficient levels
of management.
(5) Solutions.--In connection with the impediments
specified in paragraph (3) and the causes of such impediments
specified in paragraph (4), the strategy shall specify, and
seek to achieve, the following:
(A) Cross-functional teams to manage the major
missions and other high-priority outputs of the
Department that inherently cross functional boundaries
(in this section referred to as ``mission teams'').
(B) A collaborative, team-oriented, results-driven,
and innovative culture within the Department that
fosters an open debate of ideas and alternative courses
of action.

SEC. 1057. SENSE OF THE SENATE ON DEVELOPMENT AND FIELDING OF FIFTH
GENERATION AIRBORNE SYSTEMS.
(a) Findings.--The Senate makes the following findings:
(1) The term ``fifth generation'', with respect to airborne
systems, means those airborne systems capable of operating
effectively in highly contested battle spaces defined by the
most capable currently fielded threats, and those reasonably
expected to be operational in the foreseeable future.
(2) Continued modernization of Department of Defense
airborne systems such as fighters, bombers, and intelligence,
surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft with fifth
generation capabilities is required because--
(A) adversary integrated air defense systems (IADS)
have created regions where fourth generation airborne
systems may be limited in their ability to effectively
operate;
(B) adversary aircraft, air-to-air missiles, and
airborne electronic attack or electronic protection
systems are advancing beyond the capabilities of fourth
generation airborne systems; and
(C) fifth generation airborne systems provide a
wider variety of options for a given warfighting
challenge, preserve the technological advantage of the
United States over near-peer threats, and serve as a
force multiplier by increasing situational awareness
and combat effectiveness of fourth generation airborne
systems.
(b) Sense of the Senate.--It is the sense of the Senate that
development and fielding of fifth generation airborne system systems
should include the following:
(1) Multispectral (radar, infrared, visual, emissions) low
observable (LO) design features, self-protection jamming, and
other capabilities that significantly delay or deny threat
system detection, tracking, and engagement.
(2) Integrated avionics that autonomously fuse and
prioritize onboard multispectral sensors and offboard
information data to provide an accurate realtime operating
picture and data download for postmission exploitation and
analysis.
(3) Resilient communications, navigation, and
identification techniques designed to effectively counter
adversary attempts to deny or confuse friendly systems.
(4) Robust and secure networks linking individual platforms
to create a common, accurate, and highly integrated picture of
the battle space for friendly forces.
(5) Advanced onboard diagnostics capable of monitoring
system health, accurately reporting system faults, and
increasing overall system performance and reliability.
(6) Integrated platform and subsystem designs to maximize
lethality and survivability while enabling decision
superiority.
(7) Maximum consideration for the fielding of unmanned
platforms either employed in concert with fifth generation
manned platforms or as standalone unmanned platforms, to
increase warfighting effectiveness and reduce risk to personnel
during high risk missions.
(8) Advanced air-to-air, air-to-ground, and other weapons
able to leverage fifth generation capabilities.
(9) Comprehensive and high-fidelity live, virtual, and
constructive training systems, updated range infrastructure,
and sufficient threat-representative adversary training assets
to maximize fifth generation force proficiency, effectiveness,
and readiness while protecting sensitive capabilities.

SEC. 1654. SENSE OF CONGRESS ON NUCLEAR DETERRENCE.
The following is the sense of Congress:
(1) The nuclear forces of the United States continue to
play a fundamental role in deterring aggression against the
interests of the United States and its allies in an
increasingly dangerous world in which foreign adversaries,
including the Russian Federation, are making explicit nuclear
threats against the United States and its allies. Strong United
States nuclear forces assure United States allies that the
extended deterrence guarantees of the United States are
credible and that the resolve of the United States remains
strong even in the face of nuclear provocations, including
nuclear coercion and blackmail.
(2) The prevention of war through effective deterrence
requires survivable and flexible nuclear forces that are well
exercised and ready to respond to nuclear escalation if
necessary. Possessing a range of capabilities and options to
counter nuclear threats assures United States allies and
enhances the credibility of United States nuclear deterrence by
reinforcing the resolve of the United States in the minds of
United States allies and potential adversaries.
(3) The declared policy of the United States with respect
to the use of nuclear weapons must be coordinated and
communicate clearly that the use of nuclear weapons against the
United States or its vital interests would ultimately fail and
subject the aggressor to incalculable consequences.
(4) In support of a strong and credible nuclear deterrent,
the United States must--
(A) maintain a nuclear force with a diverse,
flexible range of nuclear yield and delivery modes that
are ready, capable, and credible;
(B) afford the highest priority to the
modernization of the nuclear triad, dual-capable
aircraft, and related command and control elements; and
(C) ensure the broadest participation of United
States allies in nuclear defense planning, training,
and exercises to demonstrate the commitment of the
United States and its allies and their solidarity
against nuclear threats and coercion.
(5) The North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) must make
it clear at the NATO summit in Warsaw, Poland, in July 2016
that NATO has taken steps to address the nuclear provocations
of the Russian Federation, particularly including steps to
counter any calculation by the Russian Federation that the use
of nuclear weapons against NATO members could have other than
incalculable consequences for the Russian Federation. Effective
deterrence requires that NATO clearly communicate that reality
to the leaders of the Russian Federation, conduct realistic
nuclear planning and exercises, and modernize the full suite of
dual-capable aircraft and associated command and control
networks and facilities.
