Life Experiences Help Shape Defense Policy
Congress is advancing the Fiscal Year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) to strengthen defense investment and ensure servicemembers and their families have the tools, resources and training to combat evolving threats to our national security. At the forefront of achieving this legislative milestone is the relationship between Congress and the Department of Defense (DoD). Throughout the year, Members of Congress engage with DoD officials from all services to help establish or continue defense programs, policies, projects and activities. This connection is further strengthened through the DoD’s Legislative Fellowship program.
