Restoring Military Focus Act
This bill eliminates the position of Chief Diversity Officer within the Department of Defense (DOD), as well as the position of Senior Advisor for Diversity and Inclusion within the military departments. Additionally, the bill prohibits the use of federal funds to establish similar positions to that of Chief Diversity Officer or Senior Advisor for Diversity and Inclusion within DOD.

On January 27, 2025, President Trump signed an executive order titled Restoring America's Fighting Force, which specifically directed the abolishment of every diversity, equity and inclusion office within DOD and the Department of Homeland Security with regard to the Coast Guard.
