Executive Order Targets Veterans' Records Sharing and Employment Access
An executive order issued September 8, 2026, states that outdated records management and data systems impede the sharing of military personnel files and medical records between the Department of War and the Department of Veterans Affairs, complicating service members' transition to civilian life [1]. The order frames the policy goal as providing veterans with the best available services [1]. A separate order dated the same day amends Executive Order 13603 of March 16, 2012, as amended by Executive Order 14391 of March 13, 2026, to adjust delegations of presidential authorities under the Defense Production Act (50 U.S.C. 4501 et seq.) [2]. Specific implementation details and deadlines for the veterans order are not included in the available text [1].
