Virtual Readiness Act of 2026

Referred to the House Committee on Armed Services.

2026-04-09

This bill would likely expand the military's use of virtual and simulation-based training technologies to prepare soldiers, sailors, and airmen for combat and operations without requiring as much physical deployment or real-world exercises. The changes would affect active-duty personnel, reservists, and military training programs by potentially reducing costs and increasing training frequency through digital platforms. The goal appears to be keeping the armed forces combat-ready while modernizing how troops prepare for their missions.
