Expeditionary Diplomacy Act

This bill would require the Secretary of State to report to Congress, within 90 days, a definition of "expeditionary diplomacy" and how the State Department will apply it, including in places with elevated security risk. The Government Accountability Office (Comptroller General) would later report on challenges to this practice, including security officer capacity and personnel policies. The bill would add a duty for ambassadors (chiefs of mission) to use risk management practices that encourage executive branch employees in their country to engage with local populations. It would also create a temporary State Department "Tiger Team" to produce recommendations, report to Congress, and end 90 days after its final report.
