Defense Authorization Bill

The Defense Authorization Bill is an annual law passed by the U.S. Congress that outlines the budget and funding priorities for the Department of Defense (DoD). It specifies how much money can be spent on various military programs, personnel salaries, equipment, and operations, as well as setting policies for defense activities. The bill is crucial for ensuring the military has the resources it needs to function effectively and addresses national security concerns. It must be approved by both the House of Representatives and the Senate before being signed into law by the President.
