What this bill does
H.R. 9997, the National Guard for National Service Act of 2026, proposes to establish a pilot program. This program would involve the National Guard Bureau and the Corporation for National and Community Service working together. The goal is to address critical workforce integration and national security needs.
The pilot program would focus on several key areas: protecting critical infrastructure, building cybersecurity capacity for local governments and schools, improving disaster preparedness and community resilience, and developing a nationwide employment and training pipeline. This pipeline aims to connect part-time National Guard and Reserve members with career pathways, address economic insecurity, and promote workforce stability.
Currently, this bill has been introduced in the House of Representatives and referred to the Committees on Education and Workforce and Armed Services. The next steps would involve committee review and consideration. Before the pilot program can be established, a feasibility study must be conducted within one year of the bill's enactment.
