Lawmakers return from their holiday break with a host of military issues on the docket and only a few weeks of summer work left to complete them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The full House begins its debate on the annual defense authorization bill<\/a> this week, with a host of hot-button issues like transgender troops and climate change expected to be among amendment fights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other side of Capitol Hill, senators will begin the confirmation process for Gen. Mark Milley<\/a> to take over as the next joint chiefs chairman. He isn\u2019t expected to face major opposition from lawmakers, but could see uncomfortable questioning on issues like instability in the Middle East and the military mission along the southern U.S. border. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Officials are hoping to advance both of those issues \u2014 along with the confirmation of Defense Secretary candidate Mark Esper<\/a> \u2014 before the start of August and the extended congressional break until September.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTuesday, July 9<\/strong>
