U.S. Representative Mike Rogers (R-AL), Chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, issued a statement following the House approval of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2026.
Rogers emphasized the importance of the legislation amid what he described as a challenging global security environment. “As we face the most complex security environment since World War II, the FY26 NDAA delivers on President Trump’s Peace Through Strength agenda and ensures our warfighters are the most ready, lethal, and capable force in the world,” Rogers said.
He highlighted that a major focus of this year’s bill is reforming how the Pentagon acquires defense equipment. “At the core of this bill is a fundamental overhaul of the Pentagon’s broken acquisition system. The FY26 NDAA cuts red tape and focuses defense acquisition on one mission: getting our warfighters the capabilities they need, when they need them,” he stated.
Rogers also noted bipartisan support for the measure. “This is a strong, bipartisan bill that supports our servicemembers and their families, revitalizes our defense industrial base, and sends a clear message to our adversaries. I urge the Senate to quickly pass the FY26 NDAA so President Trump can sign it and we can begin implementing his agenda.”
