Providing Responsibly for Our National Defense

As the United States faces unprecedented threats from adversaries like China and Russia, it is vital Congress performs one of its most important constitutional duties: to provide for our national defense and support the men and women who serve in the United States military, while also making sure taxpayer dollars are used responsibly.

The Biden Administration has incorporated radical leftist programs such as diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) and critical race theory (CRT) into our military, pushed a military Green New Deal, and promoted drag shows on bases to further their agenda – wasting taxpayer dollars and focusing our military on being woke instead of being effective. 

House Republicans are bringing forward a plan that guts Biden’s wasteful initiatives, bans drag shows and critical race theory in the military, gives our troops a much needed pay raise of 5.2% (the largest in 20 years), supports military families by improving housing and healthcare policies, increases oversight and accountability of defense spending, and provides unprecedented support for the security of Israel.
With the FY24 National Defense Authorization Act, House Republicans are fighting to refocus the military on its core purpose – defending our national security – and ensure our military and their families have everything they need to stay the strongest force in the world. 

H.R. 2670, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2024, introduced by Chairman Mike Rogers, counters the Chinese Communist Party’s aggression, boosts oversight of the Biden Administration’s Department of Defense, supports members of our military and their families, and saves taxpayers billions of dollars by cutting wasteful programs while still investing in a secure defense industrial base and innovative technologies to support our national defense.

It’s time for smarter investments in defense that support America’s position as the strongest nation in the world – House Republicans are here to deliver and ensure the brave men and women defending our nation’s freedom have access to the weapons and resources they need to keep our country safe from threats.
