Luttrell Secures Key Wins as Committee Sends FY26 NDAA to House Floor
WASHINGTON — Congressman Morgan Luttrell (R-TX) released the following statement after the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2026 was successfully voted out of the House Armed Services Committee and sent to the House floor:
“America's warfighters rely on Congress to provide them with the tools necessary to maintain our nation's standing as the most lethal force in history. The FY26 NDAA ensures our military continues to combat our foreign adversaries and modernize our cybersecurity infrastructure, while providing critical support to our service members. I am pleased to see my provisions countering cyber threats, advancing hypersonics innovation, and expanding Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) research included in this legislative package. I look forward to supporting the bill when it comes to a vote on the House floor."
The NDAA is annual legislation that authorizes the policies and funding levels for the Department of Defense (DoD) and other national security entities.
Luttrell secured over 50 provisions within the NDAA, including:
- Multiple provisions to enhance cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, and emerging technology tools for the DoD.
- Authorizes funding for research and clinical trials for post-traumatic stress disorder and TBI treatments.
- Several provisions to support the training, health, and well-being of our service members.
- Greenlights funding for increased development of hypersonics. This builds on additional funding Luttrell secured in H.R. 1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, and supports research and development activities in Texas.
- A provision to prevent the deactivation of the 1-158th Army Reserve unit in Conroe without a continuity plan for soldiers and capabilities.
- Language to support the domestic production of critical minerals to decrease U.S. reliance on China.
