HARM Act 2.0

• Targets: It focuses on Ministry of Defense affiliated paramilitary formations that absorbed Wagner personnel, including groups like Africa Corps, Redut PMC, and Patriot PMC. It would apply to individuals who order, control, or direct those entities and to entities operating under MoD direction.

• Reporting and decision process: The Secretary of State must produce a report listing entities and people, the Government Accountability Office reviews that report for accuracy, and the State Department would have 30 days after the GAO review to decide on designations. Reports are unclassified with possible classified annexes.

• Oversight and monitoring: The bill requires annual State Department reports for five years on activities, MoD ties, human rights abuses, financial networks, sanctions effectiveness, and international cooperation. It also names five congressional committees for ongoing oversight.

This bill would establish a formal framework to trigger designations and sustained U S oversight of Wagner successor networks.
