While no bill is perfect, the passage of the defense authorization bill makes us a stronger nation and provides certainty and predictability to our armed forces at a time of growing threats.” Highlights of Provisions Included in the Final FY24 NDAA: Advocates for South Carolina. Authorizes billions for the Savannah River Site to sustain the nation’s nuclear arsenal as well as to treat and remove radioactive liquid waste Authorizes millions for critical military construction projects in the state for both the active component and the South Carolina Army National Guard Authorizes millions for defense-related research and development funding that could benefit state institutions Gives troops a much-deserved pay raise. Authorizes a 5.2 percent pay raise for both servicemembers and Defense Department civilian workers #### | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T18:56:20Z |
