Commanding Officers Must Help Troops Get Mental Health Care Under New Legislation

The legislation, originally introduced by Marine Corps veteran Rep. Seth Moulton, D-Mass., in 2020 and again, this year, by Moulton and Navy veteran Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., as the Brandon Act, is designed to ensure that service members have easier access to health care without concern for retaliation from their higher-ups or worries about their careers.
