This year’s NDAA addresses important challenges faced by our current state of national defense, including improving our servicemembers’ quality of life, restoring the focus on our military lethality, deterring China, defending Israel, securing our border, and enhancing our military capabilities.

In addition, the legislation contains key measures to prioritize military capabilities in Texas and to invest in our servicemembers and their families stationed there.
