Bill 118 s 191, also known as the Restoring Military Focus Act, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to prioritize and strengthen the military capabilities of the United States.

One of the key provisions of the Restoring Military Focus Act is the allocation of additional funding to the Department of Defense. This funding would be used to modernize and upgrade military equipment, improve training programs for military personnel, and enhance the overall readiness of the US military.

This commission would be tasked with identifying areas where the military could be more efficient and effective, as well as making recommendations for future improvements.
