Cost of Wokeism in the Military Act

This bill requires the Secretary of Defense to assess staffing levels in the Department of Defense's Office for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI Office) against its core missions and functions. It mandates two assessments: one from the DEI Office head and one from the Secretary, to identify staffing conflicts, followed by a detailed report to Congress within one year of enactment. The report must validate each position, analyze staffing gaps, and propose updates to job descriptions and grades. If the report is not submitted on time, the bill prohibits new positions, military personnel details to the office, and new contractor appointments. The measure focuses on procedural oversight of the DEI Office's structure, not on altering its mission or policies.
