Eastern Frontier Defense Infrastructure Readiness Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense, working with the Secretary of State and NATO's top commander in Europe, to report to Congress within 180 days on how 12 NATO allies along the alliance's eastern edge are meeting NATO infrastructure requirements. The report would cover transportation, energy, communications, financial systems, civil preparedness, and defense industry infrastructure, plus each ally's progress toward a NATO spending goal of 1.5 percent of GDP for infrastructure and resilience. It would also identify key shortfalls, recommend ways to address them, and describe Russian activities targeting this infrastructure. The Government Accountability Office would review the report within 180 days after it is submitted, and the Secretary of Defense would be authorized to prioritize these allies in certain security programs and brief Congress yearly from fiscal year 2028 through 2032.
