§3067 Approval required for military department termination or reduction in participation in joint acquisition programs

Summary

The Secretary of Defense must write rules that stop any military department that is part of a joint acquisition program approved by the Under Secretary of Defense for Acquisition and Sustainment from ending or significantly reducing its participation without that Under Secretary’s approval. The rules must make the Joint Requirements Oversight Council review any proposed end or big cut before it is approved. The rules must also let the Under Secretary require a department that is approved to end or cut back to still pay some or all of the money needed so the program can continue efficiently.
