Establish a commission to investigate and address racial and ethnic disparities within the United States military.
One policy goal, tracked across every bill that has carried it.
What’s happening with Commission on Equity and Reconciliation in the Uniformed Services Act?
The effort to create a commission on military equity is stalled in the House and Senate committees as of June 2026. The House Armed Services and Veterans Affairs committees must act next to move the bill forward. Most bills like this never receive a committee vote, and the lack of action since January 22, 2026, follows the typical path for most legislation.
