Mandatory "Made in America" Rule for Optional Military Combat Boots.
This bill mandates that all optional combat boots purchased by members of the armed forces for use with their required uniform must be entirely manufactured in the United States. This requirement extends to all materials and components used in the boots, which must also be sourced domestically. While supporting US manufacturing, this change restricts the choices available to service members who buy their own gear.
Key points
Military personnel must purchase optional combat boots that are 100% manufactured in the US, including all materials and components.
The Department of Defense must implement these new mandatory regulations within 180 days of the law's enactment.
The rule applies only to boots purchased by the service member, not those issued by the military.
