What this bill would do

This bill is known as the Combat Action Recognition and Evaluation for Remotely Piloted Aircraft Crews Act, or the CARE for RPA Crews Act. It was introduced in the House of Representatives on May 20, 2026. The main goal of the legislation is to ensure fairness for the people who serve our country. It directs the Secretaries of the military departments to take action. Within 180 days of the bill becoming law, they must establish a status identifier. This new status will be of equivalent merit as a combat status identifier. It is specifically meant for remotely piloted aircraft crew who conduct combat operations.
