Temporary Halt on Landmine Destruction Pending Strategic Defense Review.

This law temporarily stops the Department of Defense from spending funds in fiscal year 2024 to destroy anti-personnel landmine stockpiles. This pause is mandated until the Secretary of Defense delivers a comprehensive report to Congress detailing future inventory needs, associated costs, and the impact of these weapons on military operational plans. This measure signals a re-evaluation of the strategic role and necessity of these specific munitions in U.S. defense policy.
