  • Congress and policymakers: Provides the congressional defense and foreign affairs committees an unclassified, nation-by-nation account to assess regional risks and inform U.S. policy. The report must be delivered within 180 days of enactment.
  • What the report covers: For each country it must list weapons systems and military technology worth $1 million or more acquired since 2012, describe participation in foreign training and exercises, summarize security agreements, assess intelligence cooperation, and evaluate effects on U.S. and NATO security.
  • Who does the work and special focuses: The Secretary of Defense, with the Secretary of State's concurrence, prepares the report and may include a classified annex. The report also examines NATO ties, Partnership for Peace participation, and the Russian Humanitarian Center in Niš, Serbia.

*Does not authorize new spending or appropriations and imposes no penalties, so it does not change federal spending.*
