A BILL To direct the Secretary of Defense to provide fluid or powdered milk to members of the Armed Forces at dining facilities on military installations.
AI Summary
This bill, called the "Strengthening our Servicemembers with Milk Act," directs the Secretary of Defense to provide a wide variety of milk options to military service members at dining facilities on military bases. The milk options can include different types such as unflavored and flavored, organic and non-organic, and milk with varying fat content (whole, reduced-fat, low-fat, fat-free) as well as lactose-free milk. The bill also includes an important prohibition: the Secretary of Defense cannot purchase milk from any entity that is owned or controlled by a foreign adversary, as determined by the Secretary of Commerce according to specific federal regulations. This provision ensures that milk provided to military personnel comes from trusted sources and supports domestic suppliers while giving service members more nutritional choices in their dining facilities.
