Stefanik Votes to Pass FY 2024 National Defense Authorization Act

Press Release

"As the leading advocate for Fort Drum and the 10th Mountain Division, I proudly voted to pass the FY24 national defense bill to secure numerous provisions for the Fort Drum Community and our brave Servicemembers nationwide. This year's national defense bill increases our military readiness, equips our troops, pushes back against woke ideology in our military, and provides robust support for Servicemembers and their families. As a senior member of the House Armed Services Committee, I have diligently worked over the past year to bring the defense priorities of Upstate New York and the North Country to the highest levels. I am proud to have crafted, conferenced, and passed a defense bill that ensures Fort Drum soldiers are eligible for Cold Weather location assignment pay, fully equips the 10th MTN Division with cutting-edge technology, and recognizes the vast potential of the unique Upstate New York environment for training our military personnel. While our country faces numerous threats from Communist China, Russia, and Iran, we must bolster our national defense and support our Servicemembers because peace can only be achieved through strength."
