Our partisan Sense of the Congress amendment calls on the Department of Defense to have an institution devoted to studying peacekeeping operations and preparing our troops for future peacekeeping missions. We have constantly bore witness to the dramatic challenges facing our troops right now in Afghanistan and in Iraq as they work to secure the peace, from acting as traffic cops to feeding hungry crowds. Our amendment aims to ensure that these troops are prepared for peace as much as they are ready for war.
