This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to notify Congress within 15 days whenever a general or flag officer (high-ranking military leaders) is involuntarily reassigned, separated, or forced to retire. The notification must explain the reason for the action—whether it involved misconduct, poor performance, disagreements over policy, or other factors—and describe the decision-making process that was followed. The bill applies to the top military leadership across all service branches and aims to increase transparency and congressional oversight of these personnel actions. There is no specific funding required, as the bill simply mandates reporting procedures already within the Defense Department's administrative functions. The legislation was introduced in September 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Armed Services for consideration.
