## Summary

The bill would create an **Interagency Council on Service** to coordinate recruitment, marketing, and transition supports across military, national, and public service. It would align federal outreach, share best practices, and run joint marketing and research to boost participation. - Prospective participants would see coordinated outreach. The Department of Defense, the Corporation for National and Community Service, and the Peace Corps would be authorized to do joint market research and advertising to increase recruitment for military, national, and public service. - Service members and national service participants would get expanded transition support.

A quarterly council of senior officials would produce a Service Strategy (first due within two years and quadrennial thereafter) and submit reports to Congress every four years on joint recruitment, data, and feasibility of expanded initiatives. *No additional funds are authorized to be appropriated for carrying out the Act.*
