Read twice and referred to the Committee on Armed Services.
This bill would expand the definition of "aiding the enemy" under military law to include providing military education, training, or tactical advice to enemies. Currently, the Uniform Code of Military Justice prohibits giving intelligence to the enemy, and this legislation broadens that restriction to cover teaching or advising enemies on military matters. The bill was introduced by Senators John Cornyn and Jeanne Shaheen in March 2024 and referred to the Senate Armed Services Committee. The legislation affects military members and potentially civilians working with the armed forces who could face criminal charges under expanded definitions of enemy support. No specific funding or implementation timeline is included in the bill text.
