Rep. Fallon Statement in Response to House Passage of FY26 NDAA

Washington, D.C. -- In response to the House's passage today of H.R. 3838, the Streamlining Procurement for Effective Execution and Delivery and National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2026 , House Armed Services Military Personnel Subcommittee Chairman, Rep. Pat Fallon (TX-04), commented: “I’m proud to have voted in favor of the House’s passage of the FY26 NDAA today. This legislation is critical to modernizing our military, spurring innovation and restoring deterrence towards our adversaries abroad. "Additionally, this bill cuts red tape to make our acquisitions process more agile and rebuild our domestic defense industrial base so that we can ensure we can deliver the cutting edge systems to the American warfighter. Importantly, this bill also puts our servicemembers and their families first with a 3.8 percent payraise and improved access to benefits like healthcare, schools and housing. "The U.S. faces the most serious threat environment from near-peer adversaries since the end of the Cold War, and the FY26 NDAA is what is needed for our military to prevail.”
