This bill would prohibit the Secretary of Defense and the commanding general of the District of Columbia National Guard from transferring personnel or equipment from the D.C. National Guard to other Department of Defense units or to National Guard units in other states. The legislation, introduced by Representative Eleanor Holmes Norton in October 2023, is designed to protect the D.C. National Guard from being reduced or depleted through such transfers. The bill affects the D.C. National Guard and the Department of Defense, ensuring that the District's military resources remain dedicated to serving the nation's capital. The bill does not specify any dedicated funding or implementation timeline, focusing instead on establishing a legal prohibition against such transfers.
