Bill > S3154

This bill increases the number of students from the District of Columbia (DC) who can be appointed to each of the three major U.S. military service academies: the United States Military Academy (West Point), the United States Naval Academy, and the United States Air Force Academy. Specifically, the bill changes the existing law to raise the maximum number of DC appointees from five to fifteen students per academy. This change would provide more educational opportunities for students from DC, who currently do not have full representation in Congress and are not a state, to attend these prestigious military training institutions. By tripling the number of possible appointments, the bill aims to provide greater access to military service academy education for DC residents, potentially increasing diversity and representation in the U.S. military's officer corps.
