Luttrell Secures Key FY27 NDAA Wins in Committee

June 5, 2026 Press Release WASHINGTON — Congressman Morgan Luttrell (R-TX) secured several key wins during the House Armed Services Committee’s markup of the Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27) National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The NDAA is an annual congressional bill giving guidance on the policies and funding of defense agencies. “America's servicemembers and their families deserve nothing less than our full commitment to their readiness, their safety, and their quality of life,” said Luttrell. “This year’s NDAA honors that commitment by rebuilding our defense industrial base, accelerating critical technologies like hypersonics and autonomous systems, and building on previous pay increases for our men and women in uniform. As this legislation passes out of committee, I look forward to seeing it on the House floor soon and am grateful to Chairman Rogers and my colleagues for their diligence and hard work in advancing this bill.” Rep. Luttrell secured over 21 provisions in the bill, including: Language prohibiting the deactivation of the Expeditionary Combat Aviation Brigades (ECABs) and requiring the Army to restore the units’ full capabilities and personnel. $7.5 million in funding and an Implementation of a Cognitive Performance Enhancement Program to optimize brain health and cognitive readiness of our Special Operations Forces.
