# 10 U.S.C. § 102 - Effect of certain amendments on conforming changes to tables of sections, tables of contents, and similar tabular entries
## Text
(a) Automatic Execution of Conforming Changes.— When an amendment to a covered defense law adds a section or larger organizational unit to the covered defense law, repeals or transfers a section or larger organizational unit in the covered defense law, or amends the designation or heading of a section or larger organizational unit in the covered defense law, that amendment also shall have the effect of amending any table of sections, table of contents, or similar tabular entries in the covered defense law to alter the table to conform to the changes made by the amendment.
(b) Exceptions.— Subsection (a) shall not apply to an amendment described in such subsection when—
(1) the amendment or a clerical amendment enacted at the same time expressly amends a table of sections, table of contents, or similar tabular entries in the covered defense law to alter the table to conform to the changes made by the amendment; or
(2) the amendment otherwise expressly exempts itself from the operation of this section.
(c) Covered Defense Law.— In this section, the term “covered defense law” means—
(1) this title;
(2) titles 32 and 37;
(3) any national defense authorization Act that authorizes funds to be appropriated for a fiscal year to the Department of Defense; and
(4) any other law designated in the text thereof as a covered defense law for purposes of application of this section.

B, § 2803(b), Dec. 23, 2022, 136 Stat. 2970, provided that: “(1) Automatic execution of conforming changes.—When an amendment made by a provision of this division [see Tables for classification] to a covered defense law adds a section or larger organizational unit to the covered defense law, repeals or transfers a section or larger organizational unit in the covered defense law, or amends the designation or heading of a section or larger organizational unit in the covered defense law, that amendment also shall have the effect of amending any table of sections, table of contents, or similar table of tabular entries in the covered defense law to alter the table to conform to the changes made by the amendment. “(2) Exceptions.—Paragraph (1) shall not apply to an amendment described in such paragraph when—“(A) the amendment, or a separate clerical amendment enacted at the same time as the amendment, expressly amends a table of sections, table of contents, or similar table of tabular entries in the covered defense law to alter the table to conform to the changes made by the amendment; or “(B) the amendment otherwise expressly exempts itself from the operation of this section. “(3) Covered defense law defined.—In this subsection, the term covered defense law means—“(A) titles 10, 32, and 37 of the United States Code; “(B) any national defense authorization Act or military construction authorization Act that authorizes funds to be appropriated for a fiscal year to the Department of Defense; and “(C) any other law designated in the text thereof as a covered defense law for purposes of application of this section.” [Another section 2803(b) of Pub. L. 117263 enacted provisions set out as a note under section 2805 of this title. The section 2803(b) of Pub.

L. 11781, div. B, § 2003(b), Dec. 27, 2021, 135 Stat. 2162.

# 10 U.S.C. § 10102a - Deployment prioritization and readiness of Army components
## Text
(a) Deployment Prioritization.— The Secretary of the Army shall maintain a system for identifying the priority of deployment for units of all components of the Army.
(b) Deployability Readiness Rating.— The Secretary of the Army shall maintain a readiness rating system for units of all components of the Army that provides an accurate assessment of the deployability of a unit and those shortfalls of a unit that require the provision of additional resources. The system shall ensure—
(1) that the personnel readiness rating of a unit reflects—
(A) both the percentage of the overall personnel requirement of the unit that is manned and deployable and the fill and deployability rate for critical occupational specialties necessary for the unit to carry out its basic mission requirements; and
(B) the number of personnel in the unit who are qualified in their primary military occupational specialty; and
(2) that the equipment readiness assessment of a unit—
(A) documents all equipment required for deployment;
(B) reflects only that equipment that is directly possessed by the unit;
(C) specifies the effect of substitute items; and
(D) assesses the effect of missing components and sets on the readiness of major equipment items.

# 10 U.S.C. § 10149 - Ready Reserve: continuous screening
## Text
(a) Under regulations to be prescribed by the President, the Secretary concerned shall provide a system of continuous screening of units and members of the Ready Reserve to ensure the following:
(1) That there will be no significant attrition of those members or units during a mobilization.
(2) That there is a proper balance of military skills.
(3) That except for those with military skills for which there is an overriding requirement, members having critical civilian skills are not retained in numbers beyond the need for those skills.
(4) That with due regard to national security and military requirements, recognition will be given to participation in combat.
(5) That members whose mobilization in an emergency would result in an extreme personal or community hardship are not retained in the Ready Reserve.
(b) (1) In applying Ready Reserve continuous screening under this section, an individual who is both a member of the Ready Reserve and a Member of Congress may not be transferred to the Standby Reserve or discharged on account of the individuals position as a Member of Congress.
(2) The transfer or discharge of an individual who is both a member of the Ready Reserve and a Member of Congress may be ordered—
(A) only by the Secretary of Defense or, in the case of a Member of Congress who also is a member of the Coast Guard Reserve, the Secretary of the Department in which the Coast Guard is operating when it is not operating as a service in the Navy; and
(B) only on the basis of the needs of the service, taking into consideration the position and duties of the individual in the Ready Reserve.
(3) In this subsection, the term “Member of Congress” includes a Delegate or Resident Commissioner to Congress and a Member-elect.
(c) Under regulations to be prescribed by the Secretary of Defense, and by the Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to the Coast Guard when it is not operating as a service in the Navy, a member of the Ready Reserve who is designated as a member not to be retained in the Ready Reserve as a result of screening under subsection (a) shall, as appropriate, be—
(1) transferred to the Standby Reserve;
(2) discharged; or
(3) if the member is eligible and applies therefor, transferred to the Retired Reserve.

(1) such assistance is authorized by a provision of law (other than this section); or
(2) the provision of such assistance is incidental to military training.
(b) Scope of Covered Activities Subject to Section.— This section does not—
(1) apply to the provision by the Secretary concerned, under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense, of customary community relations and public affairs activities conducted in accordance with Department of Defense policy; or
(2) prohibit the Secretary concerned from encouraging members of the armed forces under the Secretarys jurisdiction to provide volunteer support for community relations activities under regulations prescribed by the Secretary of Defense.
(c) Requirement for Specific Request.— Assistance under subsection (a) may only be provided if—
(1) the assistance is requested by a responsible official of the organization to which the assistance is to be provided; and
(2) the assistance is not reasonably available from a commercial entity or (if so available) the official submitting the request for assistance certifies that the commercial entity that would otherwise provide such services has agreed to the provision of such services by the armed forces.
(d) Relationship to Military Training.— (1) Assistance under subsection (a) may only be provided if the following requirements are met:
(A) The provision of such assistance—
(i) in the case of assistance by a unit, will accomplish valid unit training requirements; and
(ii) in the case of assistance by an individual member, will involve tasks directly related to the specific military occupational specialty of the member.
(B) The provision of such assistance will not adversely affect the quality of training or otherwise interfere with the ability of a member or unit of the armed forces to perform the military functions of the member or unit.
(C) The provision of such assistance will not result in a significant increase in the cost of the training.
(2) Subparagraph (A)(i) of paragraph (1) does not apply in a case in which the assistance to be provided consists primarily of military manpower and the total amount of such assistance in the case of a particular project does not exceed 100 man-hours.

(4) Any other entity as may be approved by the Secretary of Defense on a case-by-case basis.
(f) Regulations.— The Secretary of Defense shall prescribe regulations governing the provision of assistance under this section. The regulations shall include the following:
(1) Rules governing the types of assistance that may be provided.
(2) Procedures governing the delivery of assistance that ensure, to the maximum extent practicable, that such assistance is provided in conjunction with, rather than separate from, civilian efforts.
(3) Procedures for appropriate coordination with civilian officials to ensure that the assistance—
(A) meets a valid need; and
(B) does not duplicate other available public services.
(4) Procedures to ensure that Department of Defense resources are not applied exclusively to the program receiving the assistance.
(5) Procedures to ensure that assistance provided to an entity specified in subsection (e)(3) is provided in a manner that is consistent with similar assistance provided under authorities applicable to other Federal departments and agencies, including the authorities of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency of the Department of Homeland Security pursuant to title XXII of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 651 et seq.).
(g) Treatment of Members Participation in Provision of Support or Services.— (1) The Secretary of a military department may not require or request a member of the armed forces to submit for consideration by a selection board (including a promotion board, command selection board, or any other kind of selection board) evidence of the members participation in the provision of support and services to non-Department of Defense organizations and activities under this section or the members involvement in, or support of, other community relations and public affairs activities of the armed forces.
(2) Paragraph (1) does not prevent a selection board from considering material submitted voluntarily by a member of the armed forces which provides evidence of the participation of that member or another member in activities described in that paragraph.
(h) Advisory Councils.— (1) The Secretary of Defense shall encourage the establishment of advisory councils at regional, State, and local levels, as appropriate, in order to obtain recommendations and guidance concerning assistance under this section from persons who are knowledgeable about regional, State, and local conditions and needs.
(2) The advisory councils should include officials from relevant military organizations, representatives of appropriate local, State, and Federal agencies, representatives of civic and social service organizations, business representatives, and labor representatives.
(3) Chapter 10 of title 5 shall not apply to such councils.
(i) Construction of Provision.— (1) Nothing in this section shall be construed as authorizing—
(A) the use of the armed forces for civilian law enforcement purposes or, except as provided in paragraph (2), for response to natural or manmade disasters; or
(B) the use of Department of Defense personnel or resources for any program, project, or activity that is prohibited by law.
(2) Funds available to the Secretary of a military department for operation and maintenance for the Innovative Readiness Training program (as established pursuant to this section) may be expended under this section, upon approval by the Secretary concerned, to assist in demolition, clearing of roads, infrastructure improvements, and military construction to restore an area after a natural disaster.
(j) Oversight and Cost Accounting.— The Secretary of Defense shall establish a program to improve the oversight and cost accounting of training projects conducted in accordance with this section. The program shall include measures to accomplish the following:
(1) Ensure that each project that is proposed to be conducted in accordance with this section (regardless of whether additional funding from the Secretary of Defense is sought) is requested in writing, reviewed for full compliance with this section, and approved in advance of initiation by the Secretary of the military department concerned and, in the case of a project that seeks additional funding from the Secretary of Defense, by the Secretary of Defense.
(2) Ensure that each project that is conducted in accordance with this section is required to provide, within a specified period following completion of the project, an after-action report to the Secretary of Defense.
(3) Require that each application for a project to be conducted in accordance with this section include an analysis and certification that the proposed project would not result in a significant increase in the cost of training (as determined in accordance with procedures prescribed by the Secretary of Defense).
(4) Determine the total program cost for each project, including both those costs that are borne by the military departments from their own accounts and those costs that are borne by defense-wide accounts.

(2) The Secretary of Defense may authorize the participation of members of the other uniformed services in the undergraduate nurse training program if the Secretary of Defense and the Secretary of Health and Human Services jointly determine the participation of such members in the program will facilitate an increase in the number of nurses in the other uniformed services.

(2) Before approving a location as the site of an undergraduate nurse training program, the Secretary of Defense shall conduct an assessment to ensure that the establishment of the program at that location will not adversely impact or displace existing nurse training programs, either conducted by the Department of Defense or by a civilian entity, at the location.
(e) Limitation on Faculty.— An agreement entered into under subsection (a) shall not require members of the armed forces who are nurses to serve as faculty members for an undergraduate nurse training program.
