The subcommittee would require a system for tracking violations of a Defense Department prohibition against supremacist, extremist and criminal gang activity.
The House panel’s provision is aimed at better monitoring of such offenses — and reporting them to law enforcement authorities — after some current and former military personnel have been involved in violence tinged with racial overtones. For example, an active duty U.S. airman was charged with killing a California sheriff’s deputy during recent protests in Oakland. The suspect reportedly referenced the antigovernment “boogaloo” movement during his arrest.
The subcommittee would require the Defense secretary to write regulations that would provide limited immunity for alleged victims of sexual assault from minor collateral misconduct, absent an aggravating circumstance, if the misconduct is said to have occurred during the assault or was discovered while investigating the attack.
On other matters, the bill would approve the administration’s request for a 3 percent across-the-board pay raise for uniformed personnel.
And it would slightly increase U.S. military end strength — adding 12,000 to the 1,351,500 request. This is a net increase resulting from a modest boost to the size of the Army, Navy and Space Force and a minimal reduction in the number of active duty Marine Corps and Air Force personnel.
