Defense Workforce Integration Act of 2025

HR 3241, the Defense Workforce Integration Act of 2025, creates pathways for military personnel medically disqualified from service to transition into civilian defense jobs. It requires the Defense Department to establish a process within one year for entry-level service members (like those in basic training or ROTC) who can't serve due to medical reasons to qualify for civilian roles in the Department of Defense. The bill also mandates a new program to connect medically disqualified individuals with employment opportunities in the defense industrial base, cybersecurity, research, and other national security support roles. Additionally, it directs the Navy to provide career information about Military Sealift Command and shipbuilder training to personnel during transition assistance. The Secretary of Defense must report on implementation to Congress within one year.
