## Summary

**Preserve warfighter skills as the military adopts AI systems.** This bill would require the Department of Defense to assess how AI-enabled systems affect cognitive, operational, and manual skills and to recommend training, doctrine, and policy changes to prevent skill atrophy. - Service members and operators would be assessed for where skill loss is most critical. The study would identify specific military occupational specialties and roles, measure retention and recovery timelines, compare performance with and without AI, and must start by Aug. 1, 2027. - DoD leaders and trainers would get recommended updates to training programs, certification standards, doctrine, acquisition requirements, and readiness metrics. Each recommendation would identify which DoD component is best positioned to implement it. - The research community and defense labs would carry out controlled experiments, high-fidelity simulations, and longitudinal studies to develop standardized skill-sustainment metrics. The work would coordinate with the Army Research Institute for Behavioral and Social Sciences, the Office of Naval Research, the Air Force Research Laboratory Human Effectiveness Directorate, and the Chief Digital and Artificial Intelligence Office.
