Bill > HR1095

This bill aims to eliminate the Chief Diversity Officer position at the Department of Defense (DoD) by repealing two key legislative sections: Section 147 of title 10, United States Code, and Section 913 of the William M. (Mac) Thornberry National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2021. Beyond simply removing the existing position, the bill also prohibits the use of federal funds to establish any new positions that are substantially similar to the Chief Diversity Officer or the Senior Advisor for Diversity and Inclusion roles. The bill, formally titled the "Restoring Military Focus Act," effectively seeks to remove diversity-related leadership positions from the DoD, preventing the creation of equivalent roles in the future. This legislative action appears to be part of a broader political effort to reduce what some perceive as bureaucratic or ideological positions within the military's leadership structure, with the stated goal of refocusing the department on its core military mission.
