The Indo-Pacific Space Partnership Act of 2026 directs the Commander of the United States Space Command to prepare a detailed feasibility report on expanding the Multinational Force Operation Olympic Defender to include additional allied countries in the Indo-Pacific region, particularly Japan and South Korea. The report, due within one year of the bill's enactment, must analyze current expansion efforts, identify any policy changes needed from allied governments to join the operation, assess impacts on U.S. national security, and determine what additional resources or authorities Congress and the executive branch would need to facilitate these countries' participation. The bill affects the military leadership responsible for space operations and the allied nations under consideration for inclusion in this multinational defense initiative. No specific funding is appropriated in the legislation, though the report must address resource requirements. The analysis will be submitted to the Armed Services and Foreign Relations Committees in both the Senate and House of Representatives.
