Trump, 78, is preparing to make good on a 2024 campaign promise by bringing back more than 8,000 members of the US military, restoring them to their previous rank and providing back pay and full benefits.
The order will cover active-duty or reserve service members who were kicked out for not taking the COVID jab mandated by the Biden administration between 2021 and 2023.
“During the worst recruitment crisis in the fifty-year history of the all-volunteer force, Joe Biden kicked troops from our military over an illegal mandate,” Sen. Jim Banks (R-Ind.) told The Post. “Thank you to
President Trump for righting this wrong and standing with our warfighters.”
