What the policy allows is for each and every member of the United States military to access legal medical treatments regardless of where the military forces them to live.
Currently, if a military person needs a treatment not available at their duty station, ie chemotherapy or specialized orthopedic surgery they are sent to a location that can provide that service. What is being done in the case of reproductive health is the same thing.
The military "woke" up in 1948 with Executive Order 9981 when Harry Truman ordered the desegregation of the military, something, many in and out of the military opposed. They had to wake up some more when women were allowed to serve alongside men first in non-combat units and then in combat units. Now they have to adjust to members of the LGBTQ community serving openly. The military will survive. An all-volunteer force should be a microcosm of society as a whole. If some conservative kid chooses not to serve in the military for "wokeness" reasons, it's a good thing. They have no business whatsoever being in the military. They are putting their own political agenda ahead of serving the country
