To amend title 10, United States Code, to prohibit a reduction in the number of personnel assigned to duty with a service review agency, to direct the Secretary of Defense to submit a report regarding consideration of reviews and appeals of discharges or dismissals, based on matters relating to post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injury, to direct the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to post a summary of such report online, and for other purposes.

This bill would amend federal law governing the military to prevent reductions in personnel assigned to military service review agencies. These agencies handle administrative matters affecting service members. The legislation would require the Secretary of Defense to submit a report to Congress examining how the military considers and appeals discharge or dismissal cases involving service members with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) or traumatic brain injury (TBI). Additionally, the bill would require the Secretary of Veterans Affairs to make a summary of this report publicly available online. If enacted, these provisions could help ensure that service members with service-connected mental health conditions have their cases thoroughly reviewed during discharge proceedings and that information about these review processes is transparent to the public.
