HRES 575 United States House · 118th Congress

Urging the House of Representatives to restore the Department of Defense's superior warfighting principles of recruiting, assigning, training, promoting, and retaining personnel solely based on merit and ensuring such personnel maintain and display a warrior ethos and crediting Florida legislature for passing the Florida Senate Memorial SM 1382.

HRES 575 is a non-binding House resolution urging Congress to restore the Department of Defense's "merit-based" personnel practices for recruiting, training, promoting, and retaining military members. It criticizes current policies it claims prioritize diversity metrics over performance, mandatory unconscious bias training, and gender-neutral language requirements as undermining military effectiveness. The resolution specifically calls for ending these practices and returning to a system focused solely on individual merit and a "warrior ethos." It also credits the Florida legislature for passing a related memorial resolution (SM 1382), though the bill itself does not create new laws or directly affect any individuals or programs.
