Rep. Fallon Statement in Response to Passage of FY27 NDAA

WASHINGTON, D.C. -- In response to the House Armed Services Committee's 44-12 vote in favor of passing the Fiscal Year 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, Military Personnel Subcommittee Chairman, Rep. Pat Fallon (TX-04) commented:

"The United States is at a critical juncture in history. With the ever-looming threats posed by near-peer adversaries, we must ensure that our military has the resources and support necessary to defend our nation and American interests. For this reason, I am proud to join my colleagues on the House Armed Services Committee in passing the FY27 NDAA. This critical piece of legislation strengthens our defense industrial base, invests in key technologies, and secures our supply chains while taking great strides to deliver on President Trump's historic $1.5 trillion defense budget."

"As Chairman of the Military Personnel Subcommittee, I will always prioritize our military's greatest resource-the men and women in uniform who dedicate their lives to defending our nation. The FY27 NDAA focuses on improving servicemember quality of life, including a seven percent pay raise and authorizing additional resources to recruiters to maintain the remarkable turnaround we have seen in recent years regarding recruitment and retention levels. This package dedicates much-needed funding to ensuring that the American warfighter has the support needed to prevail on the battlefield of today and tomorrow."
