Rep. Rogers Applauds House Passage of the FY27 NDAA with Key Wins for the State of Alabama

WASHINGTON – House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (AL-03) released a statement praising the House passage of H.R. 8800, The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027 (FY27 NDAA).

“Our national security depends on a ready, capable, and well-equipped fighting force backed by a robust and innovative defense industrial base. The FY27 NDAA delivers that. This is a strong bill that builds on President Trump’s Peace Through Strength agenda, supports servicemembers and military families, and gives our warfighters the resources they need to fight and win.

Peace Through Strength begins long before the battlefield—it is forged in America’s factories, depots, and shipyards. After years of underinvestment, the FY27 NDAA revitalizes America’s defense industrial base and gives our military the capacity to deter our adversaries and carry out President Trump’s Peace Through Strength Agenda."
