Transgender Service in the U. S. Military

Our mission is to defend this country, and we don’t want barriers
unrelated to a person’s qualification to serve preventing us from
recruiting or retaining the Soldier, Sailor, Airman, or Marine
who can best accomplish the mission. We have to have access
to 100 percent of America’s population for our all-volunteer
force to be able to recruit from among them the most highly
qualified—and to retain them...Starting today: Otherwise
qualified Service members can no longer be involuntarily
separated, discharged, or denied reenlistment or continuation
of service just for being transgender.
