Summary

Creates a new commemorative service ribbon for National Guard members who perform homeland defense duty under chapter 9 of title 32.

The ribbon's design must be approved by the Secretary of Defense. Each military department prescribes award rules, and the Secretary of Defense must seek uniform regulations to the extent practicable. The bill's findings cite several Presidential memoranda and reported 2025 deployment and crime statistics to frame its purpose.
