This bill, which continues a more-than-five-decade tradition of bipartisan support, funds our troops and helps keep Americans safe. You can get the full details here, but in short the 2017 NDAA: Boosts base funding by $9 billion over the administration’s request to close the readiness gap, rebuild our military, and ensure our troops have the tools necessary to carry out their missions. Provides our troops with the largest pay raise they’ve seen in six years at 2.1 percent. Reforms our acquisition process to spend taxpayer dollars more wisely and get our troops cutting-edge technology quickly and efficiently. Maintains longstanding provisions to prohibit transferring Guantanamo Bay detainees to American soil. Helps combat sexual assault in the military by building upon past efforts with an improved reporting process and mandatory sentences for certain offenses. A central plank of the House Republican #BetterWay agenda is to rebuild our military, support our troops, and protect our homeland. This is exactly what this year’s NDAA will help us accomplish. We expect a strong vote tomorrow, and urge President Obama to sign this critical bill into law once it reaches his desk. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
