The resolution calls on the United States Congress to support the establishment of a pilot program in Louisiana aimed at addressing the military recruitment shortage faced by the United States Army. It highlights the Army's critical role in national security and the challenges it has encountered in meeting recruitment goals, particularly missing its target by 15,000 active duty soldiers last fiscal year. The resolution proposes a collaborative effort involving state leaders, the armed forces, and law enforcement to create a plan that would allow nonviolent offenders aged 18 to 25, who possess a high school diploma or higher education, to participate in this recruitment initiative.

Additionally, the resolution stipulates that participants who do not complete the program or fail to enlist in the Army will return to the custody of the Department of Public Safety and Corrections, receiving credit for their time spent in the pilot program. The resolution aims to provide a pathway for eligible individuals to serve in the military while also addressing issues related to incarceration and recidivism in Louisiana. A copy of the resolution will be sent to relevant congressional leaders and the Louisiana congressional delegation to facilitate this initiative.
