This bill extends and expands a Department of Defense training program for Eastern European military and security forces. Specifically, it adds Kosovo to the list of countries eligible to participate in multilateral military exercises and training with the United States, alongside other Eastern European nations already in the program. The bill extends the deadline for this training program from December 31, 2024 to December 31, 2026, giving the Department of Defense two additional years to conduct these cooperative defense activities. The legislation does not specify funding amounts but modifies an existing program established in the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act. This change reflects the U.S. commitment to strengthening defense partnerships and military capabilities in Eastern Europe, particularly in the region near Russia.
