shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the
Senate and the House of Representatives a report analyzing

available infrastructure at potential sites versus needed new
infrastructure for the successful rollout of the Agile Combat
Employment model.
(2) Challenges to developing needed pre-positioned
infrastructure at austere sites that could be a part of such
model, including a list of the types of support
infrastructure most urgently needed at potential sites that
would be set to employ such model.
(3) An assessment of the condition of existing maintenance
facilities that are able to conduct complex aircraft repair
at potential sites that would employ such model, the
resourcing required to repair such facilities, and
limitations to maintaining such facilities at austere
locations causing them to fall into disrepair.
(4) A description of logistical challenges presented by the
current status of infrastructure at austere locations with
moving equipment, spare parts, and personnel needed for the
successful deployment of such model.
