Summary

The bill lets the Army enter contracts with non‑military companies to extract, process, or handle critical minerals using Army land, facilities, and waste streams. Companies must follow all environmental laws, bear cleanup liability, and provide the Army with payment or in‑kind benefits, which the Army can use for its own operations without additional appropriations. An annual report will track how many such partnerships are created and what minerals are involved.
