What it does
The bill would require the Secretary of Defense to establish blast safety officer positions in the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, and Space Force by September 30, 2026. These officers would monitor and mitigate blast exposure during live-fire and explosive exercises, brief personnel on health risks, oversee protective equipment and sensors, investigate incidents, maintain exposure logs, and coordinate with range safety and health care providers. Each special mission unit in the armed forces would be assigned a blast safety officer who must receive and maintain blast safety training and certification.
