Right to Repair

Veterans know firsthand what’s at stake when essential equipment can’t be repaired quickly — if you can’t fix it, you can’t fight with it.

Right to Repair is the simple idea that when something you own or rely on breaks, you should have the right to fix it—or to choose who fixes it. That means access to parts, tools, and manuals—not being forced into expensive or exclusive repair contracts. For the military, this issue isn't just about inconvenience, its about combat effectiveness. The right to repair can be the difference between mission success and failure.

Whether it’s an armored vehicle in the field or medical equipment in a forward hospital, if you can’t fix it, you can’t fight with it. The Chamberlain Network want to share why the veteran community sees Right to Repair as a matter of readiness, responsibility, and respect for those who serve.
