Bill > HR8804

This bill, the Air Force Rated Officer Retention Program Act, directs the Secretary of the Air Force to establish a demonstration program to assess and improve the retention of certain active-duty Air Force officers, referred to as "rated officers." The program would offer retention incentives, such as a guarantee of future assignment locations based on the officer's preference and an aviation bonus up to $50,000 per year, to rated officers who agree to remain on active duty for at least four years after completing their existing service obligation. The Secretary can vary or limit the available incentives to target specific Air Force specialty codes, ensure required assignment locations are filled, and avoid negatively impacting readiness. The Secretary must provide annual briefings to Congress on the program's use and its effects on the retention of the targeted officers.
