Joint Reserve Detachment (JRD) Formalization Act

This bill requires the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU) to formally establish and maintain a Joint Reserve Detachment (JRD) under existing law. It amends Section 1766(a) of Title 10, U.S. Code, changing the language from "may establish" to "shall establish and maintain," making JRD formation mandatory rather than optional. The bill directly affects the DIU's operational structure by requiring a permanent JRD framework. As a procedural change, it does not create new policy but formalizes an existing capability.
