To direct the Secretary of Defense to establish a centralized database to record and maintain information relating to training performed by members of the Armed Forces.

HR 5148 requires the Secretary of Defense to create a centralized "Military Training and Competency Database" that records all training, certifications, and qualifications completed by active-duty and former service members. This database will include personal details, military specialty, and training specifics, and will be made accessible to states and employers to verify if military training meets civilian license or certification requirements. Service members will receive standardized "competency reports" upon separation or retirement, detailing their training history to help them transition into civilian careers. The bill mandates the database be secure, regularly updated, and reports on its effectiveness to Congress within two years.
