Referred to the House Committee on Armed Services.
The STOP Enemies Act of 2024 would expand the military crime of "aiding the enemy" under the Uniform Code of Military Justice to include providing military education, military training, or tactical advice to enemies, in addition to the current prohibition on giving intelligence to enemies. The bill targets military personnel and potentially others who might offer such assistance to hostile forces, making these actions prosecutable offenses under military law. The legislation was introduced in March 2024 by Representatives Luttrell, Deluzio, Slotkin, and Strong and referred to the House Armed Services Committee. The bill contains no specific funding provisions or implementation timelines, as it primarily amends existing military law rather than establishing new programs. This change would give military prosecutors broader tools to prosecute individuals who support enemy forces through training or advice, beyond just sharing classified information.
