GENERAL Act

This bill would add a new section to federal military law about general and flag officers who are involuntarily reassigned, separated, or retired. Within 15 days of such an action, the Secretary of Defense would have to send a written notice to the congressional defense committees. The notice would explain the reason for the action, including whether it related to conduct, performance, policy disagreements, or other factors. It would also summarize the process used to make the decision, including any consultation with the head of the officer's military department.
