Developing Master Plans for Military Service Academies Act of 2025

# Developing Master Plans for Military Service Academies Act of 2025 (HR 6629) **What the Bill Would Do** This bill would require the U.S. military service academies—including West Point, the Naval Academy, and the Air Force Academy—to develop comprehensive long-term master plans. These plans would outline infrastructure improvements, facility upgrades, and strategic development priorities for each academy over a multi-year period. The bill essentially asks these institutions to create detailed roadmaps for their physical and operational improvements. **Who It Affects and Key Provisions** The bill directly affects the military service academies and the Department of Defense, which oversees them. It would also indirectly impact the cadets and midshipmen who attend these institutions, as well as military recruitment and training operations.

The specific provisions likely include requirements for the academies to assess their current facilities, identify needed upgrades, and submit formal master plans to Congress, though detailed provisions aren't specified in the available summary. **Current Status** As of now, the bill is in committee and has not yet been voted on by the full House of Representatives. It was introduced by Rep. Sarah Elfreth (D-MD) in the 119th Congress. The bill remains in the early stages of the legislative process.
