This section requires the Secretary of Defense to submit to the congressional defense committees, within 120 days of enactment, a report assessing workforce, readiness, and policy challenges at military child development centers. The report must analyze the percentage of employees who are military spouses or spouses of retired or separated service members, assess vacancy rates and additional children who could be served if centers were fully staffed, and evaluate the feasibility of license transferability for military spouses and on-post home childcare by spouses in on-post housing, along with recommendations for incentives including professional development, stipends, and flexible scheduling.
