The Army Organic Industrial Base Mineral Partnerships Act of 2026 aims to establish cooperative partnerships between the U.S. Army and private industry for mineral extraction activities at Army facilities. The primary goal is to enhance the Army's ability to recover strategic and critical minerals, which are essential for national defense and energy security. Key provisions of the act include the authorization for non-Army entities to conduct mineral extraction operations on Army-controlled land and facilities. These operations must comply with all relevant environmental laws and regulations.
