1. Short title This Act may be cited as the Foreign Overseas Residence Conditions Enhancement Act or the FORCE Act . 2. Findings Congress finds the following: (1) According to a September 2023 Government Accountability Office report (23–107038) that surveyed 31 military installations within the United States, the Department of Defense does not reliably assess the conditions of barracks on installations, many of which are substandard and pose potentially serious health and safety risks to residents. (2) The Department of Defense also does not have complete visibility into the funding needed for construction and maintenance of unaccompanied housing facilities. (3) The Department of Defense does not conduct sufficient oversight needed to address long-standing challenges with conditions in barracks. (4) The purview of this report related to barracks on installations within the United States, but did not survey any overseas barracks facilities operated by the Department of Defense. (5) It is the opinion of Congress that American servicemembers deserve the highest possible quality of residential facilities that do not endanger mission readiness or capability. 3.
