Trans service-member ban

An executive order banned transgender people from serving in the US military. Existing service members were subject to separation proceedings.

This action has been completed. The work now is reversal.

Detail

The EO reversed a prior 2021 rescission and reinstated a broad ban on trans military service. Separation of current service members began in Q1 2025. Reversal requires a successor EO and time to rebuild the affected units.
