The bill, narrowly approved 216-212 with key centrist Democrat support, also includes his Smitty Check Act for better care of injured service members, a 5-7% pay raise for all troops, and major investments in housing, education, and childcare for military families. It also authorizes munitions replenishment, accelerates innovation in hypersonics and AI, and establishes a new DOD audit task force to slash waste and boost efficiency—all aimed at modernizing our military while honoring those who serve.
