He made a similar appearance before the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2023\/01\/25\/armed-services-committee-adds-11-members-quality-of-life-panel\/\" target=\"_blank\">House Armed Services Committee<\/a> earlier this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But that appearance came before the release of the administration\u2019s budget request, which includes a 5.2% pay raise for troops in 2024, the largest such boost since 2002. Details of increased child support programs, housing stipend hikes and other family support efforts are expected to be released in advance of the Wednesday hearing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While various aspects of the White House\u2019s $842 billion defense budget request have already come under significant criticism from congressional Republicans, the personnel portions of the budget plan are generally less controversial, with lawmakers matching or exceeding the president\u2019s pay raise recommendations for more than a decade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most House committees are not holding hearings this week because the chamber is out of session until March 20, with most lawmakers working back home in their districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<strong>Tuesday, March 14<\/strong><br>\r\n<br>\r\nSenate Armed Services \u2014 3:45 p.m. \u2014 222 Russell <br>\r\n<i>Space Force <\/i><br>\r\nChief of Space Operations Gen.
