Goldwater-Nichols Act

The Goldwater-Nichols Act was a congressional act ratified on 4 October 1986 that completely reorganized the US Department of Defense. Under President Ronald Reagan, it increased the power of the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff and streamlined the military chain of command. It was named for Senator Barry Goldwater and Representative Bill Nichols.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goldwater%E2%80%93Nichols_Act
This act was established primarily to finalize the Biltmore Treaty, allowing for Atlanteans to serve in the US Coast Guard and Navy, though they could not surpass the rank of Captain without renouncing their Atlantean citizenship. The United States invasion of Grenada was the public impetus for the act, hiding the existence of the Atlantean race.New Atlantis, Arizona (tale)
