What this amendment would do

SA 3344, submitted by Mr. Curtis, aims to add a new section (SEC. 2850) to bill S. 2296.

The purpose of this amendment is to establish the sense of Congress regarding the importance of Dugway Proving Ground, Utah, in national defense. Specifically, it highlights that:

  • Dugway Proving Ground is a vital national security facility for testing and developing countermeasures for chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear defense.

  • Its specialized infrastructure and geographic isolation make it an irreplaceable asset for testing advanced capabilities like electronic warfare, unmanned systems, biodefense, and emerging threat mitigation.

  • Modernizing and sustaining the facility is essential for the readiness of the Armed Forces, particularly for live-agent testing, decontamination protocols, and protective measures.

  • Investment in research and infrastructure is necessary to keep the United States strategically superior in defense and ensure warfighters have advanced protective systems.

  • The facility's status as the leading test facility for chemical and biological defense preparedness in the U.S. should be preserved.
