The Department of Defense would be required to appoint a senior official to oversee all programs that help military members transition to civilian jobs or reserve duty status. This person would coordinate services like job training, career counseling, and benefits information that currently may be scattered across different military branches and agencies. The change aims to make the transition process smoother and more consistent for the hundreds of thousands of service members who leave active duty each year.
