As we face increasing threats from our adversaries, we need to make sure our military has top-of-the-line resources,” said Senator Barrasso. “This year’s National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) eliminates woke Pentagon policies and prioritizes military readiness and modernization. It gives our troops a significant and much-deserved pay raise. It also includes funding for critical projects at F.E. Warren Air Force Base in Cheyenne. Signing this bill into law as soon as possible will make sure our servicemen and women have the resources they need to protect all Americans and our freedoms.” This year’s NDAA authorizes funding to support a 14.5% pay raise for junior enlisted servicemembers (E1-E4) and a 4.5% pay raise for all other military members. It also includes Senator Barrasso’s legislation with U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) to ensure the Air Force maintains at least 271 total C-130 aircraft. The NDAA includes funding for the much-needed Rip and Replace program at the Federal Communications Commission. This program will enhance security in our networks by removing banned Chinese telecommunications equipment in Wyoming and across the country. Barrasso was also successful in securing critical funding and provisions for Wyoming’s F.E. Warren Air Force Base.
