This bill directs the Department of Defense (DoD) to establish an initiative aimed at understanding and addressing the occupational resiliency challenges faced by the Cyber Mission Force (CMF). A key provision requires assigning appropriately cleared behavioral health professionals to CMF operating locations, ensuring they possess the necessary security clearances to provide treatment to service members, thereby delivering specialized and secure mental health support. For three years, the DoD must provide annual briefings to Congress, detailing the initiative's status, the validation of professional clearances, an analysis of clinical acuity, and identified challenges. These briefings will also cover efforts to improve awareness among CMF members regarding the availability of these professionals, specifically addressing behavioral health issues related to occupation and work-related stress.
