A bill to amend title 10, United States Code, to modify the organization and authorities of the Assistant Secretaries of Defense with duties relating to industrial base policy and homeland defense.

S 5068 restructures key defense leadership roles within the Department of Defense. It creates a new Assistant Secretary of Defense for International Industrial Base Development and Engagement, focused on strengthening U.S. defense partnerships with allies like Taiwan. The bill renames the existing "Strategy, Plans, and Capabilities" position to include "Homeland Defense" and expands its duties to cover homeland security policy, Arctic resilience, and coordination with state/local governments. It also eliminates the current "Homeland Defense and Hemispheric Affairs" position and expands the International Security Affairs role to include Western Hemisphere affairs.
