Bill > S5596

This bill, titled the Military DEI Repeal Act of 2026, aims to remove various diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives—policies and practices centered on ensuring fair treatment and full participation of all people, particularly groups historically underrepresented—from the United States Armed Forces. Specifically, the legislation amends Title 10 of the United States Code by striking requirements related to diversity on military selection boards, which are panels responsible for reviewing and recommending military officers for promotion. Additionally, the bill completely repeals a section concerning pronoun policies, and it revises human relations training requirements at military service academies and schools to focus strictly on traditional core values such as honor, excellence, courage, and commitment rather than broader concepts related to diversity and inclusion.
