COMMAND Act of 2024

The COMMAND Act of 2024 requires all newly commissioned officers in the U.S. Armed Forces to complete mandatory training on the U.S. Constitution before their first operational assignment. This training, to be implemented within 180 days of the bill's enactment, covers three key areas: the Constitution's centrality to military service, officers' loyalty to the Constitution, and specific constitutional principles like civil-military relations, separation of powers, and restrictions on using military force domestically. The bill directly affects newly commissioned officers, not existing personnel or enlisted members. It establishes a concrete policy change by making constitutional education a formal requirement for new officers entering active duty.
