The National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 serves as the primary budget and policy roadmap for the United States military and national security programs. It authorizes approximately $770 billion in funding to support military personnel, modernize defense technology like the F-35 aircraft, and strengthen cybersecurity protections for critical infrastructure.
For the average citizen, this law directly impacts the economy through investments in domestic manufacturing and provides a 2.7% pay increase for service members. It also implements significant reforms to the military justice system by moving the prosecution of certain crimes, such as sexual assault, outside the chain of command to independent prosecutors. Additionally, the bill addresses public health and safety by funding the cleanup of "forever chemicals" (PFAS) on military bases and improving oversight of military housing.
