The U.S. military is concerned with the rising rate of suicides among service members. In response, a Suicide Prevention and Response Independent Review Committee (SPRIRC) established by the Department of Defense (DOD) is recommending limiting their access to guns and posting warning signs about energy drinks.
An SPRIRC report recommends "on DoD property, raise the minimum age for purchasing firearms and ammunition to 25 years." This change is designated as "high priority"—something SPRIRC considers to be "necessary" or "must" change.
