THE CHAIRMAN’S MARK: House Armed Services Chairman Mike Rogers (R-AL) has released his “chairman’s mark” of the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act, and as the name implies, it lays down markers for what Rogers would like to see in the annual must-pass policy bill.

“The FY24 NDAA puts our national security first by boosting innovation, providing for our warfighters, and focusing on our defense industrial base – supplying our military with the tools necessary to counter the unprecedented threats our nation faces from China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran,” Rogers said in a statement. “Providing for our national defense is the most important task given to Congress by the U.S. Constitution – the NDAA is a critical part of fulfilling that duty.”
