Establishing the President’s Military Spouse Commission

Key Points

• Trump created a new group called the President’s Military Spouse Commission to help families of service members. This group will look for ways to improve the lives of people married to members of the military.
• The commission is made up of the spouses of top military leaders, including the spouses of the Secretary of War and the heads of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. They will meet to talk about the biggest problems facing military families today.
• The group will focus on fixing common issues like finding good housing, keeping a job when moving to new states, and getting healthcare. They will also look at how to support families when a service member is away on a long deployment.
• Every year, the commission will give a report to the President with ideas on how the government can better support these families. The goal is to make sure military families are stable so that the military stays strong and ready.
• This order lasts for two years unless it is extended. The Department of War will pay for the group's travel and administrative costs using money already in their budget.
