AI Summary: This is a policy document (an Executive Order) regarding military service standards and gender identity. This regulation establishes new policy standards for military service focused on maintaining what the document describes as high standards of troop readiness, lethality, and unit cohesion. The policy prohibits individuals with gender dysphoria from serving in the military and requires that service members' pronouns and gender identification align with their biological sex. The order mandates the Secretary of Defense to update existing Department of Defense medical standards instructions within 60 days, issue directives to end "invented pronoun usage", and prevent males and females from sharing sleeping, changing, or bathing facilities that do not match their biological sex. The order also revokes a previous executive order (Executive Order 14004) that had enabled broader military service qualifications. The regulation emphasizes that military service should be reserved for individuals who are mentally and physically fit, and that adopting a gender identity inconsistent with biological sex is incompatible with military service requirements of honesty, discipline, and selflessness.
