This bill, the Combat Power Preservation Act of 2023, aims to limit the availability of funds for the destruction of landmines. The key provisions include: 1) Prohibiting the Department of Defense from using funds to destroy anti-personnel landmine munitions until the Secretary of Defense submits a report on the policy, inventory projections, and cost estimates related to these munitions, as well as an assessment of the impact on operational plans; 2) Allowing an exception to the funding limitation for munitions deemed unsafe or posing a safety risk; and 3) Requiring the Secretary of Defense to provide a briefing to Congress on the status of research and development into operational alternatives to anti-personnel landmine munitions.
