Pentagon would report Ukraine war lessons for U.S. forces

The defense secretary would send Congress a report on lessons U.S. forces may learn from defense innovations in the Russia-Ukraine War. The report would go to the congressional defense committees and the House and Senate intelligence committees. It must examine innovations such as unmanned systems, electronic and cyber warfare, and resilient communications, as well as defense production, armored vehicles, concealment, and medical evacuations. The report must be unclassified, though it may include a classified annex. The defense secretary would have to submit the report no later than 120 days after enactment.

The defense secretary would include a plan for using the identified lessons in military doctrine and training. The plan would cover the innovations and lessons from all eight subject areas that the report must review. The plan must list its goals, a schedule for meeting them, and reasons for the chosen goals and schedule. The plan would be due with the report, no later than 120 days after enactment.
