UNMASK Act

This bill ends mandatory mask-wearing requirements for active-duty military members, directly affecting all uniformed service personnel. It prohibits the Department of Defense from requiring masks during routine duties, citing that masks are no longer medically justified given the end of the global health emergency and widespread vaccine availability. The exception allows mask use only for specific safety-related duties (e.g., when wearing operational protective gear is standard). The law aims to remove what the bill calls an unnecessary barrier to military professionalism and mission focus.
