this NDAA delivers the investments and reforms our servicemembers deserve, improving readiness, modernizing our forces, and strengthening the foundation of America's national defense. The bill revitalizes our defense industrial base, strengthens American shipbuilding, and supports the workforce that keeps our Navy and joint force mission-ready. These investments deliver for our Nation, and they deliver for Hampton Roads, home to the sailors, shipbuilders, and military families who sustain our national security every single day. It invests directly in the men and women who wear the uniform by improving pay, strengthening housing, expanding childcare, and ensuring access to timely, high-quality healthcare. It also makes targeted improvements to training capabilities and modernization so our force remains the world's premier fighting force. The fiscal year `26 NDAA builds a stronger military, a more resilient industrial base, and a more secure nation. I urge my colleagues to support this legislation.
