A bill to provide for secure and accountable use of artificial intelligence by the Department of Defense, and for other purposes.
The Department of Defense would be required to establish safeguards and oversight procedures for how it develops and uses artificial intelligence systems, ensuring these tools are tested for safety and bias before deployment. The bill would create accountability measures so military leaders can track how AI is being used in decision-making and operations, protecting both national security and the rights of people affected by these automated systems.
A bill to improve transparency with respect to foreign influence on Department of Defense contractors.
The bill would require Department of Defense contractors to disclose their foreign ownership, investments, and business relationships to increase transparency about potential foreign influence on military suppliers. This would help the Pentagon and Congress better understand which defense companies have significant foreign connections that could affect national security. The measure affects defense contractors and their foreign investors or business partners.
A bill to require a strategy for the deployment, employment, integration, exportability, and scaling of unmanned and autonomous systems in the Indo-Pacific region and the Western Hemisphere, to strengthen homeland defense, to support counter-narcotics and counter-trafficking operations, and to increase ally and partner burden sharing, and for other purposes.
The federal government would be required to develop a comprehensive plan for using unmanned and autonomous systems (like drones and robots) across the Indo-Pacific region and the Western Hemisphere to strengthen military defense, combat drug trafficking, and encourage allied nations to contribute more to regional security efforts. This strategy would outline how to deploy, operate, and expand these technologies while making them compatible with partner countries' military systems. The plan aims to modernize U.S. military capabilities while distributing security responsibilities more evenly among American allies.
A bill to prioritize the finalization of design requirements for new Ready Reserve Force vessels, and for other purposes.
The federal government would speed up the process of determining design specifications for new ships that would be kept in reserve for emergency use during national crises or military operations. This affects the Navy and shipbuilding companies that construct these vessels, potentially allowing them to begin construction sooner once design requirements are finalized. The bill aims to strengthen the nation's ability to quickly mobilize additional ships if needed for defense or disaster response.
A bill to amend title 10, United States Code, to direct the Secretary of Defense to publish a list of dietary supplement ingredients prohibited for use by members of the Armed Forces, and for other purposes.
The Department of Defense would be required to create and publish an official list of dietary supplement ingredients that military members are not allowed to use, helping service members know which supplements could get them in trouble or affect their health and readiness. This would give the military a clear way to communicate which ingredients are banned due to safety concerns, performance-enhancing drug policies, or other military standards. The rule would apply to all active duty, reserve, and National Guard members.
Stars and Stripes Editorial Independence Act of 2026
The Stars and Stripes, a military newspaper that reports news to service members and their families, would be protected from political pressure or interference in its editorial decisions under this proposal. The bill aims to ensure that military leadership cannot suppress or control what stories the publication covers or how it covers them, preserving the organization's ability to report independently on military issues. This affects military personnel and their families who rely on the publication for trustworthy news.
A bill to provide for Department of Defense and Department of Agriculture joint research and development activities, and for other purposes.
The Department of Defense and Department of Agriculture would work together on research and development projects that benefit both agencies and the public. This collaboration could lead to innovations in areas like food security, agricultural technology, and rural infrastructure that support both military readiness and farming communities. The bill is currently under review by the Senate Armed Services Committee.
MARCH for Military Servicemembers Act
The bill would restrict the Department of Defense from using its money and facilities to provide abortion services to military members and their families, even in cases where abortion is legal under state law. This would affect active-duty service members, retirees, and dependents who currently have access to abortion care through military hospitals and clinics. The proposal has been sent to the Armed Services Committee for review.
Stop Fueling Cartel Violence Act
The federal government would be required to produce a detailed report examining how transnational criminal organizations smuggle oil, gas, and other hydrocarbon products across borders, and what strategies could be used to stop them. The report would help policymakers and military officials understand the scope of this smuggling problem and develop better ways to combat it. This affects national security agencies, the military, and law enforcement officials working to disrupt criminal networks involved in fuel trafficking.
A bill to repeal the Military Selective Service Act.
The proposal would eliminate the requirement for men to register with Selective Service, the government system that maintains a list of potential draftees in case of national emergency. Currently, men ages 18-25 must register or face penalties, though the U.S. has not conducted a draft since 1973. Repealing this law would end that registration requirement and the associated enforcement mechanisms.
Army Organic Industrial Base Mineral Partnerships Act of 2026
The Army would be allowed to partner with private companies to extract minerals from land at military industrial facilities, potentially generating revenue while maintaining military operations on those sites. These partnerships would let the Army lease or contract with mining companies to access valuable minerals like rare earth elements or metals found on Army property. The arrangement could benefit both the military's budget and domestic mineral supply chains, though it would require oversight to ensure mining activities don't interfere with military readiness or environmental protection.
Reactors at Risk Act of 2026
The government would be required to study and report on the risks that nuclear power plants face if they are located in or near areas where armed conflict could occur. These reports would help lawmakers and the public understand what could happen to nuclear reactors during military conflicts and what safety measures might be needed to protect them. The information would affect nuclear facility operators, military planners, and communities living near nuclear plants in potentially vulnerable locations.
Maverick Act
Maverick Act This bill authorizes the Department of the Navy to transfer three surplus F-14D Tomcat aircraft to the U.S. Space and Rocket Center Commission in Huntsville, Alabama. (The F-14D Tomcat was a naval fighter aircraft that was retired from service in 2006.) The bill provides for certain conditions for the transfer, including that the transfer must be free of cost to the federal government. Additionally, the commission must not convey ownership interest in the aircraft to another party without Navy approval. If the commission breaches any conditions, the aircraft must revert to the United States. The bill also specifies that such aircraft may not have any combat capability. The Navy may provide excess spare parts to the commission to make one of the aircraft flyable or complete for a static display. The Navy may authorize the commission to enter into agreements with qualified nonprofit organizations to restore and operate the aircraft for public display, air shows, and commemorative events.
Servicemember Civilian Transition Support Act
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.
A resolution supporting the designation of April 2026 as the "Month of the Military Child".
This resolution would officially recognize April 2026 as a month dedicated to honoring military children and raising awareness about their unique experiences and challenges. Military families, schools, and communities would be encouraged to celebrate and support the children of active-duty service members, veterans, and National Guard personnel during this designated month. The resolution is currently under review by the Armed Services Committee.
RETAIN Act of 2026

Fighter Aircrew Career Flexibility Act
The legislation would give military pilots and other fighter aircraft crew members more flexibility in how they manage their careers, such as allowing them to take breaks from service or transition between different roles without losing benefits or advancement opportunities. This change would help the Air Force and Navy retain experienced aviators by making military service more compatible with personal circumstances like family needs or education goals. The bill aims to address pilot shortages by making military careers more adaptable to modern life demands.
Airpower Acceleration Act of 2026
The legislation would speed up the development and delivery of military aircraft and related equipment to the U.S. Air Force by streamlining approval processes and reducing bureaucratic delays. This would affect defense contractors, Air Force personnel, and military readiness by allowing faster modernization of the nation's air capabilities. The bill aims to help the military acquire new planes and technology more quickly than current procedures typically allow.
HERO Child Care for Military Families Act
This bill would help military families access affordable and reliable child care by addressing gaps in available services on and near military bases. The legislation likely includes funding, support for child care providers, or new programs to make it easier for military parents—particularly those in lower-income brackets—to find quality care while they work or serve. Military families often struggle with child care costs and availability, which can affect military readiness and retention.
Guard Equal Benefits for Federal Missions Act
This bill would require the federal government to provide equal benefits to military members and federal employees regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity. The legislation aims to ensure that same-sex spouses and transgender service members receive the same health insurance, retirement, and other benefits as heterosexual married couples and cisgender employees. The change would affect hundreds of thousands of active-duty military personnel, veterans, and federal workers and their families.
