To expand the contested logistics demonstration and prototyping program to include commercial additive manufacturing facilities in contested logistics environments, and for other purposes.

# HR 5190 Summary **What the Bill Would Do** HR 5190 would expand a military program called the "contested logistics demonstration and prototyping program" to include commercial 3D printing (additive manufacturing) facilities. The bill aims to enable the military to use private-sector 3D printing capabilities in challenging environments where traditional supply chains may be disrupted or threatened—such as areas affected by conflict or natural disasters. **Who It Affects** This bill would primarily affect the U.S. military, defense contractors, and commercial 3D printing companies.

By incorporating private manufacturing facilities into military logistics planning, the bill could create new business opportunities for companies in the additive manufacturing sector while potentially strengthening military capabilities in difficult operational environments. **Current Status** As of now, HR 5190 remains in committee and has not been voted on by the full House of Representatives. The bill was introduced by Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) in the 119th Congress.
