The Senate’s bipartisan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27 NDAA) contains 50 provisions championed by Senator Rosen, including a provision to establish a uniform policy across all of the service branches regarding hate symbols such as swastikas. At Rosen’s urging, the bill also does not change U.S. policy regarding the resumption of explosive nuclear testing in Nevada or anywhere else in the U.S. The Senate’s bipartisan national defense bill also authorizes funding for projects at several key military installations in Nevada, such as Creech Air Force Base, Nellis Air Force Base, and for the Nevada National Guard. This bipartisan bill also supports enlisted retention efforts through higher pay, provides a 3.6% pay raise for all troops, does not authorize any funding for defense nuclear waste storage at Yucca Mountain, and includes two of Senator Rosen’s bipartisan bills – the OASIS in the Middle East Act and the Strategic Unmanned Systems Partnership Act .. “It is my priority to strengthen national security and ensure our military has all the resources it needs to support our servicemembers that keep our nation safe. I’m proud to shape this year’s bipartisan national defense package in committee in a way that supports our servicemembers and veterans in Nevada, enhances military readiness, and creates a clear strategy for our missions abroad,” said Senator Rosen. “This bipartisan legislation includes key provisions I secured to support essential national security installations in Nevada, provide a deserved pay raise for our service members, and ensure that explosive nuclear testing does not ever restart in Nevada again.” Rosen-led provisions in the FY27 NDAA include, among others: Creech Air Force Base Ambulatory Care Center Addition and Alteration : This provision authorizes more than $25 million to construct a flight medicine clinic, an addition to the dental clinic, and an ambulance garage that provides outpatient medical and dental care. Due to Creech’s remote location, Airmen must travel 60 minutes each way to and from Nellis Air Force Base to access many routine medical care services. This lost duty time negatively impacts Creech’s unique 24/7 warfighting operations. Nellis Air Force Base F-47 Basing Projects : This provision authorizes more than $730 million for 16 military construction projects at Nellis Air Force Base to support the future basing of the F-47. Nellis AFB has been identified by the Secretary of the Air Force as the location for F-47 operational test and weapons school missions. Creech Air Force Base Mission Support Facility : This provision authorizes $55 million for construction of a mission support facility at Creech Air Force Base. Currently, inadequate facilities adversely impact the ability of Creech Air Force Base to support the needs of the Airmen and their family members, which leads to travel to Nellis. The new Mission Support Facility would provide a permanent, consolidated facility in support of mission and support services for all personnel at Creech. Senator Rosen previously secured planning and design funding for this project. Creech Air Force Base Warrior Fitness Center : This provision authorizes $104 million for construction of an adequately size
