House Armed Services Committee<\/a> leaders will unveil the first outlines of their annual defense authorization bill<\/a> this week, providing hints at their plans for defense spending and military training changes in fiscal 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The defense policy bill is one of the few reliable pieces of legislation to advance through Congress annually, passing into law for more than six consecutive decades. It sets the parameters for military spending priorities, renews a host of pay and benefits authorizations, and includes hundreds of new program parameters and personnel rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The six sections of the bill to be released (and likely approved by subcommittees<\/a>) this week will show just a few sections of the full measure to be marked up by the full committee later this month. But issues like scaling back diversity initiatives in military training and limits on defense abortion policies \u2014 topics expected to be major debate points this year \u2014 could be previewed in those early looks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the House committee and its Senate counterpart are hoping to get their respective drafts of the legislation onto their respective chamber floors in June. But the ongoing fight between Republicans and Democrats over extending the nation\u2019s debt ceiling could push that schedule back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
