Chairman James Mountain Inhofe Recognition Act of 2025

The Chairman James Mountain Inhofe Recognition Act of 2025 would rename the Department of Defense Africa Center for Strategic Studies (ACSS) to the James M. Inhofe Africa Center for Strategic Studies. The bill amends Title 10 U.S. Code to substitute the new name for the existing reference in law and directs that any reference to the Africa Center for Strategic Studies in laws, regulations, maps, documents, or other official papers be treated as a reference to the James M. Inhofe Africa Center for Strategic Studies. It also provides a short title for the act. The proposal is ceremonial in nature and does not create new authorities, programs, or funding; it simply changes the official designation of the center. The bill was introduced in the Senate on July 30, 2025, by Senators Rounds (on behalf of himself and Senator King) and referred to the Committee on Armed Services. There is no indication of any accompanying policy changes or budget provisions.
