Referred to the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and in addition to the Committee on Armed Services, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.Res. 156 is a ceremonial resolution honoring the 25th anniversary of the military partnership between Guam and the Philippines under the State Partnership Program, which began in February 2000. The resolution recognizes the cooperation between the Guam National Guard and the Armed Forces of the Philippines in conducting joint training exercises, disaster response operations, and infrastructure projects designed to strengthen regional security in the Indo-Pacific. The resolution does not appropriate any funding or establish new programs; instead, it expresses Congress's appreciation for the partnership and support for continuing and potentially expanding similar defense cooperation arrangements with the Philippines and other U.S. states and territories. The resolution highlights the strategic value of the partnership in advancing shared security priorities and countering regional aggression in the South China Sea.
