The House passed the latest version of the 2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on Dec. 11, moving the bill one step closer to becoming law.

The compromise NDAA bill, at more than 1,800 pages, provides up to $895.2 billion in discretionary defense spending for the fiscal year. The annual defense authorization bill lays out which programs and policies the U.S. military may pursue and to what degree it can support them through fiscal year 2025.
