Strengthening Israel's Security: DoD Assessment of Precision Munitions Stockpiles.

This law mandates the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to conduct an annual assessment of the quantity of precision-guided and other munitions required by Israel to defend itself against conflicts with Iran or groups like Hamas and Hezbollah. The goal is to ensure Israel possesses sufficient stockpiles and that the U.S. is prepared for rapid resupply. This legislation formalizes U.S. military support mechanisms for a key ally.
Key points
The DoD must annually assess the precise quantity and type of munitions Israel needs to prevail in sustained armed confrontations with regional threats.
The law requires regular reports (every 90 days) to Congress on U.S. progress in pre-positioning and ensuring adequate munitions inventories for Israel, including rapid replenishment procedures.
The assessment must consider current Israeli inventories, U.S. stockpiles in Israel (WRSA-I), and other relevant U.S. depots.
