Military Digital Literacy: Training Armed Forces to Combat Disinformation and Insider Threats.
This law mandates the Department of Defense to establish a one-year pilot program focused on teaching service members safe and responsible interaction with digital information. The training aims to equip military personnel with skills to identify disinformation, conspiracy theories, and hate-based ideologies, thereby strengthening national security and reducing internal vulnerabilities.
