Request for Information: 2028 Department of War State Priorities for Service Members and Families
AI-generated summary for informational purposes only. Not legal advice. See the original source for the authoritative text.
The Department of War (DoW) is soliciting public input to help shape its 2028 State policy priorities aimed at addressing barriers faced by active duty service members and their families due to the transient and unpredictable nature of military life. Each year, the DoW identifies key areas where State-level legislative or administrative action can make a meaningful difference for military households. The public is invited to submit issues or concerns where State governments — rather than the federal government — are best positioned to enact positive change. Submissions will directly inform the DoW's selection of priority policy areas that it will formally encourage states to address in 2028. Historical examples of DoW state priorities include easing school transitions for children of active duty families, covering challenges such as transferring academic records, course placement, eligibility for extracurricular activities, and meeting graduation requirements when families relocate. This is an informational request only — no regulatory changes are enacted by this notice. It represents a public engagement step in the DoW's annual state-outreach policy cycle.
