Defense Secretary Ashton Carter will propose a 401k-like retirement program for uniformed military personnel this week. USA today reports the goal is that everyone that leaves the military takes away a retirement fund, even if they don’t stay in 20 years.

On In Depth with Francis Rose, he compared the idea to the work he’s done on compensation and the work the Military Compensation Commission did.
