Yes the Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest (MAVNI) pilot program has been authorized since Nov 25, 2008.

Here is some more information about it from another immigration site.

The U.S Secretary of Defense Robert Gates signed a memorandum on November 25, 2008, authorizing the Secretaries of the Army, Navy and Air force to implement a new non-citizen recruitment pilot program for the United States Armed Forces. This program is called the ‘Military Accessions Vital to the National Interest’ (MAVNI), which allows certain non-citizens legally present in the United States to join the military and apply immediately for U.S citizenship without first obtaining lawful permanent residence. The aim of this program is to recruit health care professionals and persons speaking strategic languages. - from http://immigration.juris-global.com/citizenship/ten-things-about-mavni-recruitment-program

The U.S. Dept. of Defense has the following PDF available for more information.

So if you want citizenship and you want to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces, and if you have certain medical skills, language skills, or cultural expertise, this is definitely one way to accelerate the citizenship process.
