Ban on Using Live Animals in Military Trauma Training.

This Act completely prohibits the Department of Defense (DoD) from using live animals, such as dogs, cats, or primates, in combat trauma training involving live fire. This change mandates the DoD to replace animals with advanced simulators, mannequins, or other alternative methods. While not directly impacting citizens' finances, it reflects an ethical shift in standards funded by taxpayers.
