MARTTE Act of 2023

The MARTTE Act of 2023 establishes a system for the U.S. military to identify, track, and leverage computer programming and AI skills among active-duty and reserve personnel. It requires military departments to create new career codes for roles like software developers and data scientists, develop a qualification process using military and civilian training, and build digital tools to track these skills. Reserve members can now use their civilian tech skills (e.g., as data analysts) to qualify for military assignments without repeating training. The bill mandates implementation plans within 180 days and annual budget updates to meet these goals.
