Strategic Defense Logistics Improvement Act of 2023

The Strategic Defense Logistics Improvement Act of 2023 expands the Department of Defense's Contested Logistics Working Group by adding representatives from four specific agencies: the Defense Logistics Agency, the Strategic Capabilities Office, DARPA, and the Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering. The bill requires these new members to be appointed within 60 days of enactment and mandates the working group meet at least quarterly. It also requires the group to submit an annual report by February 1 to congressional defense committees detailing any shortfalls in personnel, equipment, infrastructure, energy, storage, or capabilities needed for DoD operations. This legislation focuses on improving internal coordination and transparency in defense logistics planning within the Department of Defense.
