H.R. 4534 · 114th Congress
POSTURE Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 114th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Protecting Our Security Through Utilizing Right-Sized End-Strength Act of 2016 or the POSTURE Act
This bill expresses the sense of Congress that given the uncertain world and the need for trained and ready U.S. land force, the planned drawdown of land forces should be stopped.
The bill sets forth:
- FY2016 Army, Marine Corps, and Selected Reserve strength levels; and
- Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force permanent active duty end strength minimum levels.
Any proposal to lower the end strength levels established by this Act must first be approved by Congress through enactment of a law to that effect.
