“Our troops pledge their lives to the defense of the United States, and this bill gives them more support and funding to perform that important mission. I am pleased that this year’s NDAA ensures Arkansas remains a leader in securing our nation’s defense by allocating almost $76 million to build military infrastructure at Ebbing Air National Guard Base in Fort Smith, designating a National Cold War Center in Arkansas, and investing $57 million for the Red River Army Depot. It also includes my bill to prohibit foreign adversaries from benefiting from our military members’ expertise. Additionally, it excludes radical Democratic initiatives by instituting salary caps for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion officials at the Pentagon and establishing a standardized testing requirement at academies.”
