     &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Servicemember Parental Leave Equity Act&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;This bill modifies Department of Defense parental leave provisions for members of the Armed Forces.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Specifically, the bill increases parental leave for primary caregivers to 18 weeks (currently 12) following the birth of a child and to 12 weeks (currently 6) following the adoption of a child. The bill increases parental leave for a secondary caregiver from 21 days to 12 weeks in connection with the birth or adoption of a child.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Primary or secondary caregivers of a long-term foster child are authorized to take up to 12 weeks of leave in connection with such placement.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;Parental leave for a primary or secondary caregiver for a birth, adoption, or foster child placement may be taken in more than one increment. For primary caregivers, the leave must be utilized within one year of the event.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The bill authorizes up to 12 weeks of leave to certain service members who would have been secondary caregivers but for a miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant death.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The following activities required of an active-duty member within a 12-month postpartum period must have the approval of a health care provider and be at the election of the member or in the interest of national security: (1) an order of temporary duty overnight travel or to participate in physically demanding field training exercises, (2) meeting of body composition standards, or (3) passing a physical fitness test.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt; The bill also reduces the service commitment required for participation in the Career Intermission Program.&lt;/p&gt;
