The resolution calls on the United States Congress to amend the National Defense Authorization Act to require the Department of Defense to provide official personnel counts for military installations in the contiguous United States directly to the United States Census Bureau. This request stems from the need for accurate census data, which is crucial for fair congressional representation and the allocation of federal funding. The resolution highlights the significant undercounts that have historically occurred during census enumerations on military bases, citing the example of Fort Polk, where the 2020 Census reported only 7,950 residents compared to an actual population exceeding 38,000.

By mandating the Department of Defense to supply verified personnel numbers, the resolution aims to enhance the accuracy of census counts, streamline administrative processes, reduce costs, and allow census resources to be better allocated to more complex enumeration challenges. The resolution concludes by directing that copies be sent to key congressional leaders and the Secretary of Defense to ensure awareness and consideration of this proposal.
