What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Chairman August Pfluger and Senator John Hickenlooper spearheaded a bipartisan letter urging increased investment in the nation's Military Service Academies. The letter, dated September 21, 2026, was signed by members of the Boards of Visitors for the West Point, Naval Academy, and United States Air Force Academy. The advocates called upon the Chairmen and Ranking Members of the House and Senate Armed Services Committees to include specific provisions in the final National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). These provisions included advocating for a dedicated funding stream and allowing superintendents to contract directly with affiliated nonprofit organizations for campus modernization projects.
