Bill > HR3241

This bill aims to enhance workforce integration within the Department of Defense by creating multiple pathways for military personnel and individuals medically disqualified from military service to find employment opportunities. Specifically, the bill requires the Secretary of Defense to establish a program within one year that helps entry-level service members (those in basic training, technical schools, service academies, ROTC, or officer accession programs) who are medically disqualified to transition into civilian positions within the Department of Defense. The bill also mandates the creation of a program to provide information about career opportunities in the defense industrial base to individuals unable to serve in the military, including roles in cybersecurity, intelligence support, defense technology research and development, and national emergency preparedness. Additionally, the bill requires the Navy to include information about career opportunities at the Military Sealift Command and workforce training programs for shipbuilders in its Transition Assistance Program. The Secretary of Defense must submit a report to congressional armed services committees within one year detailing the implementation of these new programs, drawing inspiration from the Air Force's Develop, Redistribute, Improve, Vault, Expose (DRIVE) program as a potential model for other military departments.
