Military drone crews who fight in combat would get equal recognition.
This bill would make sure military drone crews who fly combat missions get the same kind of combat recognition as other service members. Right now, they don't have a specific way to show they've been in combat. This change would give them an official status identifier.
Today, military drone crews who conduct combat operations do not have a specific status identifier that recognizes their combat service. If this bill becomes law, the military departments would be required to create an equivalent status identifier for them within 180 days.
