The amendment adds a new section to Chapter 80 of Title 10 that obligates the Secretary of Defense to submit a written notice to the congressional defense committees within 15 days of any involuntary reassignment, separation, or retirement of a general or flag officer . The notice must state the rationale for the action, indicating whether it stemmed from conduct, performance, policy disagreements, or other factors, and must include a summary of the process used to reach the decision. By requiring this disclosure, the bill increases transparency and accountability in senior military leadership changes. The provision is intended to give Congress timely information to oversee and, if necessary, question the decisions affecting the highest ranks of the armed forces.
