The Office of the Under Secretary of Defense for Personnel and Readiness is proposing to collect information in line with the Paperwork Reduction Act of 1995. They seek public comments on whether the information collection is necessary and on ways to improve its quality and clarity. The collection is part of the Innovative Readiness Training program, which allows military personnel to engage in real-world missions that benefit communities, such as engineering and medical projects. The deadline for submitting comments is March 11, 2025.
Simple Explanation
The Department of Defense wants to check if collecting information for a program that helps soldiers practice real missions, like building bridges or setting up medical camps, is useful and how to make it better. They're asking people to let them know if it could be done more easily or clearly, but don't explain all the details of how they count the time or pick the missions.
