Restoring Military Focus Act
This bill eliminates the Chief Diversity Officer position within the Department of Defense (DoD) by repealing Section 147 of Title 10, U.S. Code, and removes a related Senior Advisor for Diversity and Inclusion role established in the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act. It directly affects the DoD by prohibiting the creation of any new position that mirrors these roles using federal funds. The key mechanism is a funding ban preventing the DoD from establishing or funding similar diversity-focused leadership positions. This policy change removes specific diversity-related roles from DoD leadership structure.
