"The FY25 NDAA invests in our national security and our servicemembers while cutting woke DEI initiatives and slashing unnecessary bureaucracy that wastes time and compromises our readiness. This legislation includes a well-deserved pay raise for servicemembers and prioritizes deterrence amid increased aggression from adversaries like China and Iran under President Biden. I look forward to working with President Trump to further safeguard our national security, support our troops, and reinstate U.S. global leadership." - Congresswoman Ashley Hinson Background: The FY25 NDAA: Authorizes a 4.5% increase in pay for all servicemembers – including a 14.5% raise for junior enlisted servicemembers – and additional quality of life improvements for servicemembers and their families. Enhances deterrence in the Indo-Pacific by authorizing $15.6 billion for defenses and reaffirming our support of our ally, Taiwan. Counters national security threats from our adversaries and fight state sponsors of terror including Iran, Afghanistan and the Taliban, North Korea, and Russia. Supports law enforcement operations at our southwest border and increasing funding by $10 million for DoD counter-narcotic activities. Cuts unnecessary Pentagon bureaucracy, reforms DoD's acquisition processes, and cuts underperforming military programs. Builds on efforts to dismantle the radical woke ideology within the DoD by gutting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives. ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-07T22:13:55Z |
