Section 1, quoted from the order

Verbatim text from the signed document. These are the words of the document, not SaveYourState’s.

Millions of brave men and women have served in our Armed Forces with courage, commitment, and sacrifice, guaranteeing our security, prosperity, and freedom. These veterans deserve the best available services in return. However, outdated and unwieldy records management and data systems and procedures hinder military personnel file and medical record sharing between the Department of War and the Department of Veterans Affairs, which complicates the effective transition of military personnel from active- duty service to civilian life. Such complications result in delays in healthcare coverage, benefits processing and payment, education opportunities, and job training and placement for our Nation's veterans. This order rectifies this problem and ensures that veterans promptly receive the benefits and services to which they are entitled.
