Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill establishes a pilot program combining National Guard service with national service opportunities to address workforce needs and national security priorities. The program, to be developed by the National Guard Bureau and the Corporation for National and Community Service, would focus on critical infrastructure protection, cybersecurity training, disaster preparedness, and creating employment pathways for National Guard and Reserve members. Before launching the pilot, the two agencies must complete a feasibility study within one year examining the logistics, costs, expected participation rates, and potential benefits of connecting military service members with civilian workforce training programs. The legislation also directs the study to assess how such a program could help military spouses and dependents gain employment and training opportunities. While the bill does not specify direct funding amounts, it requires the agencies to evaluate the financial and administrative costs of implementation as part of their feasibility analysis.
