GovInfo bill text shows H.R. 8584 was introduced by Mr. Min with Mr. Hill of Arkansas on April 29, 2026 and referred to the House Committee on Armed Services.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Min took concrete same-term legislative action matching the commitment, but the text is an introduced bill and the reporting duty depends on enactment; this does not prove the report has been required by law or submitted.

Senator Cramer's official release says Senators Cramer and Bennet introduced the Indo-Pacific Space Partnership Act of 2026, which would require the Commander of U.S. Space Command to evaluate expanding MNF-OOD to include allies such as Japan and South Korea. The release also describes separate FY2026 NDAA provisions directing a briefing on space coordination with allies, not enactment of the specific report requirement.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The Senate companion and related NDAA briefing language show serious congressional effort around the issue, but they do not establish that Min's specific report requirement was enacted or that the report was delivered by the August 28, 2026 refresh.

Rep. Dave Min introduced H.R. 8584 in the 119th Congress to require the U.S. Space Command reporting requirement described in the claim, and companion Senate activity shows a serious legislative effort on the same policy. However, the available status shows the bill remained referred to committee as of August 28, 2026, with no enactment and no legally required report submitted. Because Min materially attempted the promise but the promised reporting requirement was not delivered, this is best scored as not fulfilled with an effort badge.

Rep. Dave Min introduced H.R. 8584 on April 29, 2026, which matches the pledge by requiring a Space Command feasibility report on expanding Operation Olympic Defender to additional Indo-Pacific allies. The bill was referred to committee, but there is no evidence that it became law or that the report was actually submitted, so the promise cannot be counted as delivered yet.
