The bill would create a new senior leadership position at the Department of Defense specifically focused on helping military members transition to civilian jobs or reserve service when they leave active duty. This official would oversee all programs and services designed to support this transition process, ensuring military personnel have consistent access to career counseling, job training, and other resources they need to successfully move into their next chapter. The change would affect active-duty service members, veterans, and reserve component personnel preparing to leave the military.
