Introduced·5/13/26

Army Organic Industrial Base Mineral Partnerships Act of 2026 authorizes partnerships for mineral extraction at Army facilities.

The Army Organic Industrial Base Mineral Partnerships Act of 2026 allows the Army to form partnerships with non-Army entities for mineral extraction operations on Army industrial base facilities. These partnerships can involve cash payments, in-kind contributions, or other consideration. The Army retains control over the use of funds, including for facility operations, maintenance, and modernization. The non-Army entity is responsible for environmental compliance and financial security. The Act exempts these operations from the Mineral Leasing Act and requires annual reporting to Congress.
