Summary

This bill amends existing law to give the Department of Defense emergency authority to acquire defense articles when a foreign adversary attacks a U.S. ally or partner, allowing the U.S. to replenish its own stockpiles or contract for moving defense articles to that ally or partner, as long as the U.S. is not directly involved in the hostilities. Sec. 2, Emergency acquisition authority: The bill adds a new condition to the existing emergency acquisition rules, allowing the Secretary of Defense to use emergency procedures to buy like defense articles to restock U.S. supplies that were reduced because the U.S. gave those articles to an ally or partner after an armed attack by a country of concern, or to contract for shipping such articles to that ally or partner, provided the U.S. is not a party to the attack.
