Bill > S95

This bill aims to protect the Marine Corps Recruit Depot located at Parris Island, South Carolina, by prohibiting the use of federal funds to close or realign the facility. The bill begins by highlighting the historical and cultural significance of Parris Island, noting that it has been a home to the Marine Corps since 1891 and has been crucial in preparing Marines for major conflicts since World War I. The legislation explicitly states that Parris Island will remain the physical home of the Marine Corps' Eastern Recruiting Region and emphasizes the need for continued investment to ensure its long-term utility. The key provision of the bill is a direct prohibition on using any federal funds to close, realign, or even plan for the closure or realignment of the Parris Island Marine Corps Recruit Depot. By introducing this bill, Congress seeks to preserve an important training facility with deep historical roots and ongoing strategic importance to the United States Marine Corps.
