President Donald J. Trump signed Executive Order 14415 today to create the President’s Military Spouse Commission, aimed at improving quality of life for military spouses. The commission will address challenges such as housing, employment, healthcare, childcare, education, and other issues. It will be chaired by the spouse of Secretary of War Pete Hegseth and include spouses of senior military leaders. Funded by the War Department, the commission will meet monthly at the White House. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act, signed in 2025, allocated $9 billion for military family initiatives. Trump emphasized the critical role of military spouses in supporting service members, noting their sacrifices and resilience. Secretary Hegseth highlighted the importance of strong families for warfighter readiness, while Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. Dan Caine praised spouses as a ‘backstop’ for military readiness.
