This bill directs the Secretary of the Air Force to annually incorporate depot-level maintenance, repair, and sustainment considerations into at least one multinational exercise conducted within the United States Indo-Pacific Command area of operations. These exercises aim to foster cooperation with covered nations, such as Australia, Japan, and South Korea, by focusing on minimizing transportation requirements, coordinating munitions resupply, and achieving mutual recognition of airworthiness certifications. The exercises will also include emergency tabletop scenarios and require coordination with key U.S. Air Force commands and the Air Force Sustainment Center. Within 12 months, the Secretary must submit a comprehensive report to Congress summarizing lessons learned from exercises involving South Korea and Australia. This report must identify candidate systems for co-sustainment, depot-level repair opportunities, and potential industry partnerships. It will also address logistical challenges, intellectual property impediments, and International Traffic in Arms Regulations issues, offering recommendations to Congress for enhancing maintenance partnerships and assessing allied contingency operations and interoperability.
