This bill mandates the establishment of a pilot program to address critical workforce integration and national security imperatives, to be jointly developed by the Chief of the National Guard Bureau and the Chief Executive Officer of the Corporation for National and Community Service . This program will be informed by a comprehensive feasibility study conducted within one year of the bill's enactment. The pilot program will focus on several key areas, including critical infrastructure protection , enhancing cybersecurity capacity for various entities, and expanding efforts in disaster preparedness and community resilience . A core objective is to establish a nationwide employment and training pipeline connecting part-time National Guard and Reserve service members with structured career pathways through national service programs, aiming to address economic insecurity and ensure workforce stability. The preceding feasibility study will evaluate necessary procedural modifications, anticipated benefits, and the financial and administrative costs of implementing the pilot program.
