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).
