It would let certain non‑citizens enlist by creating exceptions to the current citizenship or residency limits in federal law, specifically by amending the part of Title 10 that sets who is qualified to serve (Section 504). The bill’s stated purpose is to “authorize the enlistment of certain aliens in the Armed Forces”.
