Requires the government to release video of specific 2025 boat strikes.

This bill would require the government to release video of specific boat strikes from September 2, 2025. The Secretary of Defense would share this footage with all members of Congress and then make it public online. This would give Americans access to video of these operations.

What Would Change

Currently, there is no legal requirement for the Secretary of Defense to release video of the September 2, 2025, boat strikes to Congress or the public. If this bill becomes law, the Secretary of Defense would be required to provide the unedited video to all members of Congress within 10 days. A public version would then be made available online within 15 days, with the option to redact classified information.

Key Provisions

Requires the Secretary of Defense to give all members of Congress unedited video of boat strikes from September 2, 2025, within 10 days of the bill becoming law.
