Armed Services Committees

Armed Services Committees are specialized groups within Congress responsible for overseeing the nation’s military and defense policies, budgets, and programs. They review and approve military budgets, oversee the Department of Defense, and ensure military readiness. These committees also hold hearings to scrutinize military activities and advise on national security matters. They play a vital role in shaping defense policies and ensuring that the country’s armed forces are well-funded, equipped, and effectively managed to protect national interests.
