WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Jerry Moran (R-Kan.) today applauded the Senate’s passage of the FY2025 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). This legislation will now go to the President to be signed into law.

“Protecting our nation begins with a strong military trained and equipped to meet the new and challenging threats of the 21st century,” said. Sen. Moran. “This year’s NDAA provides a pay increase for junior enlisted soldiers and expands the JROTC program to encourage more young people to pursue a career in the military. It also increases accountability and transparency on how aid to Ukraine is being used and modernizes our weapons and technology to better counter threats in a digital age. Military service is family service, which is why I also worked to include provisions to expand childcare services at Fort Leavenworth.”

Sen. Moran’s priorities included in the FY2025 NDAA:

• Fort Leavenworth – Extends authority for the construction of the Child Development Center at Fort Leavenworth.
• Hello Girls Congressional Gold Medal Act – Awards the Congressional Gold Medal to the female telephone operators of the Army Signal Corps during World War I.
