FY26 NDAA includes Fischer’s provisions to protect defense spectrum, support service members, and invest in U.S. Strategic Command at Offutt Air Force Base

U.S. Senator Deb Fischer (R-Neb.), a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC) and chair of the Strategic Forces Subcommittee, released the following statement after the Senate passed the Fiscal Year (FY) 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA):

“Right now, our adversaries are sharing weapons, resources, and a common goal: to weaken the United States and dismantle our influence around the globe. I’m proud that this year’s National Defense Authorization Act meets this moment by investing in deterrence and our brave men and women in uniform.

“I successfully fought to secure important provisions to boost our nuclear deterrence, protect defense spectrum, strengthen our missile defense systems, and improve responses to mass casualty events. I’m also pleased to have delivered critical investments for Nebraska. Offutt Air Force Base in Omaha plays a crucial role in defending our nation, which is why I used my role as a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee to secure wins for U.S. Strategic Command, the 557th Weather Wing, and the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency—all located at Offutt.

“The first duty of Congress is to defend the nation. With the passage of this bill, Congress is doing its part to equip our troops with the tools and resources they need to carry out their mission.”
