The Secretary of Defense may give certain military intelligence members benefits similar to those given to Foreign Service officers. This only applies if Congress has provided the funding, and only to specially assigned, designated members. New rules for this must first go to the House and Senate armed services and intelligence committees.

This section lets certain military members get Foreign-Service-style benefits. (a) The Secretary of Defense may give members of the armed forces described in subsection (e) allowances and benefits like those the Secretary of State gives Foreign Service officers and employees, under specific paragraphs of section 901 and sections 705 and 903 of the Foreign Service Act of 1980, and under section 5924(4) of title 5. (b) The Secretary can only make these payments in a fiscal year to the extent that Congress has appropriated money for that purpose. (c) A service member cannot get benefits under both this section and any other provision of this title for the same purpose. The Secretary of Defense must write whatever regulations are needed to enforce this. (d) Regulations issued under subsection (a) cannot take effect until the Secretary of Defense first submits them to: (1) the Senate Committee on Armed Services and the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence; and (2) the House Committee on Armed Services and the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. (e) Subsection (a) applies to members of the armed forces who: (1) are assigned either (A) to a Defense Attaché Office or Defense Intelligence Agency Liaison Office outside the United States, or (B) to the Defense Intelligence Agency doing intelligence-related work outside the United States; and (2) are designated by the Secretary of Defense for this purpose.
