Franklin. “Passing this bill is a critical step to providing them with needed support and resources to continue their remarkable legacy of defending America. Tonight’s action continues a 61-year-long tradition of bipartisan action to strengthen our national security. I believe in peace through strength, and the provisions and funding in this bill will provide just that, especially as we continue to counter adversaries like China, Russia, and Iran. I look forward to quick Senate passage so President Biden can sign it into law.” “Rep. Franklin has been a leader on the House Armed Services Committee and has worked tirelessly to support our troops,” said Rep. Mike Rogers, Ranking Member of the House Armed Services Committee. “He has also been vital in the effort to hold the Biden administration accountable for the disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan. The NDAA is critical for strengthening our national security and giving our troops the funding and tools they need. I thank Rep. Franklin for his work on this important legislation.” The 2022 NDAA provides a total of $768 billion in funding for the U.S. Armed Forces. Included in the legislation is a 2.7 percent pay raise for service members, several provisions to counter the threat posed by China, funding to put the country back on track toward building a 355 ship Navy, provisions to increase readiness, unprecedented levels of funding in emerging technologies, modernization of the U.S. nuclear arsenal, and an end to investment in outdated weapons systems and programs. Additionally, Republican leadership successfully removed the troubling “Red Flag” provision that would infringe on the Second Amendment rights of our armed forces, and a requirement for women to register for the draft. Multiple other Democrat partisan provisions that distracted from national security readiness were removed prior to passage. The 2022 NDAA includes several provisions and amendments secured by Rep. Franklin, including: | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z |
