What it does
Annual defense policy authorization setting end-strength, acquisition policy, and national-security authorities for FY2026.
Why it matters
NDAA is the yearly Christmas tree for force structure, contractor rules, and sometimes unrelated policy riders.
Progressive take
Separate readiness and troop pay from contractor giveaways and civil-liberties riders. Authorization is not the same as appropriation — both matter.
