To establish certain requirements relating to wellness checks for the health and welfare of certain members of the Armed Forces, and for other purposes.
This bill requires the Department of Defense to establish wellness check procedures for military members who have sustained significant injuries or illnesses or are on sick call. If a member does not respond to electronic or phone contact attempts during a wellness check, the person conducting the check must follow up with an in-person visit. If the member cannot be located after these efforts, the bill outlines how to report the situation using existing Department of Defense procedures for missing or unaccounted personnel. Unit commanders must coordinate with legal advisors to implement these checks and regularly review safety requirements while holding confidential meetings with medical officers to discuss significant health issues within their units. The bill also mandates training for all military members and civilian employees on the importance of accountability and the procedures for conducting wellness checks.
