To amend title 10, United States Code, to give the Secretary of Defense authority to build capacity of foreign security forces with respect to certain fishing operations.

The bill amends Title 10 of the United States Code to give the Secretary of Defense authority to help foreign security forces improve their ability to address illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing. It adds a new category of activity—counter‑illegal fishing operations—under the defense department’s capacity‑building programs. This change would affect U.S. defense policy and foreign security forces involved in maritime law enforcement.
