FORTIFY Act

This bill would let Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania transfer U.S.-provided military equipment and defense services among themselves without first getting the President's consent. It would require the United States to change existing arms agreements with these countries to remove the consent requirement for transfers to one another. It would also direct the Secretary of Defense to set up a common coalition key so the three countries can share ammunition for training and operations. The bill also states Congress's view that the Baltic states play a role in deterring aggression by Russia.
