Bill > S3160

This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to organize interagency tabletop exercises that bring together representatives from various federal economic-focused departments and private sector entities, including the Treasury, Commerce, Transportation, US Trade Representative, and National Economic Council. The purpose of these unclassified exercises is twofold: first, to assess the potential economic impacts of Department of Defense (DoD) decisions during crisis and conflict situations, and second, to evaluate the economic tools and strategies the United States government can use to enhance DoD capabilities across different scenarios of competition, crisis, and conflict. By December 31, 2025, the Secretary of Defense must provide a briefing to congressional defense committees detailing the current and planned efforts to include these economic-focused representatives in DoD tabletop exercises. These exercises are designed to improve interdepartmental collaboration and strategic planning by bringing together diverse perspectives from across the government and private sector to analyze potential challenges and response strategies.
