Restoring Lethality Act

The Restoring Lethality Act removes all Department of Defense (DoD) requirements related to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in military operations. It repeals provisions mandating the tracking of race, gender, and ethnicity data in personnel decisions, eliminates the Chief Diversity Officer role, and removes DEI-focused language from military selection processes and training programs. These changes directly affect DoD personnel policies, leadership selection boards, and military training standards. The bill specifically targets the removal of DEI metrics and personnel from defense operations as outlined in multiple sections of Title 10, U.S. Code.
