What this amendment would do

SA 3672, submitted by Mrs. Britt, aims to add a new section to bill S. 2296. Its purpose is to require the Secretary of Defense and the Commander of the United States Transportation Command to provide a briefing to the House and Senate Committees on Armed Services.

The amendment requires this briefing to be delivered within 180 days of the Act's enactment and focus on the use of inland waterways for transporting defense articles.

The briefing must include:

  • A detailed analysis of current transportation via inland waterways, covering cargo type, frequency, and volume.

  • An evaluation of inland waterway infrastructure, specifically how channels, dams, and aging locks affect defense logistics and potential failure points that could disrupt Armed Forces readiness.

  • Identification of opportunities to optimize and expand the use of these waterways for military logistics.

  • Recommendations for enhancing supply chain resilience, streamlining operations, and upgrading infrastructure.
