Strengthening our Servicemembers with Milk Act

# Strengthening our Servicemembers with Milk Act Summary **What the bill would do:** This legislation would require the Department of Defense to stock various types of milk—including unflavored, organic, and powdered varieties—in dining facilities across military bases. It would also prohibit the military from buying milk from companies owned or controlled by foreign adversaries (though the bill doesn't specify which countries qualify as adversaries). Essentially, it aims to expand milk options available to service members while ensuring those products come from approved sources. **Who it affects:** The bill primarily impacts active-duty military personnel and others who eat at military dining facilities.

It could also affect dairy suppliers and companies that do business with the Department of Defense. **Current status:** The bill is currently in committee, meaning it has been introduced but hasn't yet been debated or voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was sponsored by Rep. Derrick Van Orden (R-Wisconsin).
