Summary

The Secretary of Defense must send Congress, with the defense budget each year after fiscal year 2014, one consolidated budget justification that shows all programs and activities for buying personal protection equipment for the years in the future-years defense program under section 221. The justification must show the amounts in the President’s base budget and any overseas contingency operations budget; a short description of each equipment category each military department plans to buy or develop; for items bought with operation and maintenance funds, the appropriations account, budget activity and subactivity group, plus the funding plan for the requested year (costs and quantities) and estimates for the next five fiscal years; for items developed with research, development, test, and evaluation funds, the appropriations account, program/project/activity, program element number and line number, and the funding plan for the requested year with estimates for the next five fiscal years. The terms “budget” and “defense budget materials” use the meaning in section 234. Categories include body armor components, combat helmets, combat protective eyewear, and other items the Secretary finds appropriate.
