S.Amdt. 2925

The DISRUPT Act is an amendment to bill S. 2296. Its purpose is to address the increasing cooperation between four specific foreign adversaries: the People's Republic of China, the Russian Federation, the Islamic Republic of Iran, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

The amendment aims to add a new subtitle to the bill that establishes a formal U.S. policy to disrupt, frustrate, and constrain the partnerships and tactics used by these four countries.

Key Changes and Additions

• Policy Goals: It sets a official policy to stop the most dangerous cooperation between these adversaries using export controls, sanctions, and information sharing with allies. It also aims to prepare the U.S. for the possibility of facing simultaneous conflicts with multiple adversaries in different parts of the world.

• Task Forces: It requires several high-level officials—including the Secretaries of State, Defense, Treasury, and Commerce, as well as the Directors of National Intelligence and the CIA—to create task forces on adversary alignment. These task forces must consist of subject matter experts and report on how this cooperation affects their operations.

• Required Reports: The amendment mandates three specific reports:

  • A report on the current nature, trajectory, and risks of the cooperation between these adversaries.
  • A report from each individual task force regarding necessary organizational changes.
  • A strategic approach report detailing the tools the U.S. will use to disrupt these partnerships and a plan to bolster deterrence in Europe, the Middle East, and the Indo-Pacific.

• Strategic Actions: The amendment calls for plans to increase munitions stockpiles for partners like Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, and a requirement to digitize and update Department of Defense war-planning tools.
