Bill > HR5971

This bill increases the number of individuals from the District of Columbia (DC) who can be appointed to each of the three major United States military service academies - the Military Academy (West Point), the Naval Academy, and the Air Force Academy. Specifically, the bill amends existing law to raise the maximum number of DC appointees from five to fifteen for each academy. This change would provide more opportunities for students from Washington, DC to attend these prestigious federal service academies, which train future military officers. By expanding the number of slots, the bill aims to create greater educational and career opportunities for DC residents and potentially increase diversity within the military's officer corps. The proposed changes would be made to specific sections of Title 10 of the United States Code, which governs the organization and regulation of the armed forces.
