To authorize the President to issue posthumously to the late William "Billy" Mitchell a commission as major general, United States Army.
Summary
H.R. 2755 is a bipartisan legislative proposal that authorizes the President to posthumously promote William "Billy" Mitchell to the rank of major general in the United States Army. Mitchell, a pioneer of military aviation who resigned as a colonel in 1926, is widely regarded as the "father of the U.S. Air Force." While this bill does not change current military policy or impact taxpayer funding, it serves as a formal act of national recognition for Mitchell’s historical contributions to American air power and national defense.
