Bill Summary
A BILL To direct the Secretary of Defense to establish a joint train- ing pipeline between the United States Navy and the Royal Australian Navy, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill directs the Secretary of Defense to establish a joint training pipeline between the United States Navy and the Royal Australian Navy. The bill expresses the sense of Congress that the AUKUS (Australia, United Kingdom, United States) partnership presents an opportunity to enhance security cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region, and that the delivery of nuclear-powered submarines to Australia would require the appropriate training and development of future commanding officers. The bill requires the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of Energy, to carry out an exchange program for Australian submarine officers in 2023 and subsequent years, providing them with training at the Navy Nuclear Propulsion School and the Submarine Officer Basic Course, as well as an assignment to duty on a U.S. submarine at sea. Additionally, the bill requires the Secretary of Defense to submit a report on a notional exchange program to prepare Australian submarine officers for command of nuclear-powered Australian submarines.
