SEC. 529E. CORRECTION OF NATIONAL GUARD ACTIVATION ORDERS AND
PERSONNEL RECORDS ASSOCIATED WITH CERTAIN
CONTINGENCY OPERATIONS.
(a) Identification of Affected Personnel.—Not later than
90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, the
Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Chief of the
National Guard Bureau and the Secretary of the Air Force,
shall identify members of the Air National Guard whose
activation orders, deployment records, pay, allowances, tax
documentation, or other personnel records were adversely
affected by transitions between named military operations
conducted during 2025 and 2026, including Operation Southern
Spear, Operation Absolute Resolve, Operation Spartan Shield,
and Operation Epic Fury.
(b) Correction of Records.—The Secretary of Defense shall
take such actions as may be necessary to—
(1) ensure that official military personnel records
accurately reflect the dates and locations of service
performed in support of each named operation, including
correct mission attribution records, deployment
documentation, operational duty-location records, and other
activation or mobilization records for personnel identified
pursuant to subsection (a);
(2) correct any pay, allowance, entitlement, tax-exclusion
eligibility, or debt-related discrepancies resulting from
inaccurate or incomplete activation or deployment records;
and
(3) ensure that no member experiences a loss of eligibility
for any Federal benefit, entitlement, or service-connected
determination, including benefits administered by the
Department of Veterans Affairs, as a result of inaccuracies
described in subsection (a).
(c) Report and Briefing.—Not later than 180 days after the
date of the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of Defense
shall submit to the Committees on Armed Services of the
Senate and the House of Representatives a report and provide
a briefing on the implementation of this section. Such report
shall include—
(1) the number of personnel identified under subsection
(a);
(2) the status of corrections made pursuant to subsection
(b);
(3) any unresolved issues affecting pay, allowances, tax
records, personnel records, deployment histories, or other
military records;
(4) an assessment of the factors that caused activation-
order discrepancies, personnel-record inaccuracies, pay and
entitlement errors, debt assessments, tax-reporting issues,
and other administrative deficiencies associated with
transitions between named military operations during 2025 and
2026, including Operation Southern Spear and Operation Epic
Fury;
(5) an assessment of any limitations within the Department
of Defense regulations, policies, personnel systems, orders-
management systems, funding authorities, or administrative
processes that contributed to such discrepancies and
deficiencies;
(6) a description of actions taken or planned to ensure
timely correction of activation orders, deployment records,
pay records, tax documentation, and other affected personnel
records; and
(7) an assessment of whether additional authorities are
required to ensure accurate and timely correction of National
Guard and Reserve activation and deployment records.
