Bill > HR4343

This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to submit a comprehensive report about the security relationship between the United States and Greece within 120 days of the bill's enactment. The report must detail the basing rights granted under the United States-Greece Mutual Defense Cooperation Agreement (MDCA), describe U.S. military activities and investments at specific bases in Greece (including Alexandroupolis, Larisa, Stefanovikio, and Souda Bay), project future investment needs, analyze potential for additional U.S. military bases or expanded presence in Greece, and assess the status of security cooperation mandated by a previous defense authorization act. The bill recognizes the strategic importance of Greece's geographic location, its role in NATO, and its significance for U.S. military operations in the Eastern Mediterranean, Southeastern Europe, and Middle East. The report will be submitted to the House and Senate Armed Services Committees and is part of ongoing efforts to strengthen bilateral defense cooperation between the two countries, which share democratic values and mutual strategic interests.
