The Air Force says it’s aiming to eliminate a roughly 30-day bottleneck in the application process for reinstating former airmen discharged for refusing the COVID-19 vaccine.

Under Hegseth's leadership, the Pentagon has worked to bring back members of the armed forces who were forced out of the military due to COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
