Supporting Troops’ Access to Recognition Services Act

This bill would require the Secretary of Defense to make sure a military identification and eligibility office is located within 30 miles of every metropolitan area with a population of 300,000 or more, based on the latest U.S. census estimates. Each office would have to be open at least two days per week during regular business hours. It would also need at least one staff member qualified to help service members and their eligible dependents. These offices handle matters related to the Defense Enrollment Eligibility Reporting System (DEERS) and the Real-Time Automated Personnel Identification System (RAPIDS), including issuing ID cards.
