Secretary of Defense Jim Mattis is creating a panel of experts to determine how the military should put President Donald Trump’s new guidelines for transgender service members into effect.
Mattis said in a statement Tuesday the panel will be made up of people from the departments of Defense and Homeland Security.
Members will be tasked with developing a system to “promote military readiness, lethality, and unit cohesion, with due regard for budgetary constraints and consistent with applicable law.”
