No Equipment Left Behind Act of 2026

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to report to the congressional defense committees within 60 days after starting a significant troop reposturing or withdrawal in a designated theater of operations. The report would include an inventory of military equipment and property, cost estimates for options such as bringing it home, destroying it, or selling it, and a plan to reduce the risk of the equipment being diverted or misused. The Secretary or Deputy Secretary would have to approve in writing any decision to abandon, destroy, or demilitarize property worth more than $10 million. The bill also requires notices of sales or transfers, annual reports for five years, notices when diverted equipment is used in an attack, and a review by the Government Accountability Office.
