The National Defense Authorization Act

The National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) is a yearly law passed by the U.S. Congress that outlines the budget and priorities for the Department of Defense and national security programs. It covers funding for military personnel, equipment, and operations, as well as various defense policies. The NDAA also addresses issues like military readiness, defense research, and personnel benefits. Essentially, it sets the framework for how the government allocates money and resources to ensure the nation’s defense and support its military.
