  • State and Defense would have to deliver a comprehensive report within 180 days of enactment that analyzes CSIPA’s strategic benefits, including military readiness, shared economic interests, science and technology collaboration, long-term advantages, required resources, barriers among allies, and CSIPA’s role in responding to Houthi attacks.
