To President’s Desk: Annual Defense Bill with Provisions Championed by Fischer for Nebraska

FY26 NDAA includes Fischer's provisions to enhance strategic preparedness, support service members, and invest in U.S. Strategic Command at Offutt Air Force Base

U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-NE), a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) and Chair of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee, released the following statement after the Senate passed the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA):

"The first duty of Congress is to defend the nation, and I am proud to have played a key role in crafting this year's National Defense Authorization Act, which will help accomplish that mission.

"As Chair of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee, I secured several provisions that send a clear message to our adversaries: America's nuclear deterrent is strong. Nebraskans are proud of the vital role Offutt Air Force Base plays in defending our nation. I was also pleased to secure critical investments for U.S. Strategic Command, the 557th Weather Wing, and the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency-all located at Offutt.

"I'm proud my colleagues came together in a bipartisan manner to ensure our troops have the tools and resources they need to protect our nation. I look forward to seeing President Trump sign this legislation into law."
