The legislation authorizes a pay raise for every service member and now advances to the Senate.\n\n\"Our troops deserve a raise and our adversaries deserve a reason to think twice. This bill delivers on both,\" said Congresswoman Cammack. \"I fought to make sure it delivers accountability too. We cannot just throw money at the Pentagon. My amendments force answers to hard questions about who is in our supply chains, whether we're ready for tomorrow's threats, and where American taxpayer dollars are going.\"\n\nTogether, Rep. Cammack's ten adopted amendments strengthen military readiness, reduce dependence on foreign adversaries, improve care for military families, accelerate the adoption of emerging technologies, and strengthen America's disaster response capabilities.\n\nCongresswoman Cammack's Ten Adopted Amendments\n\nCountering fentanyl and precursor chemicals. Requires the Department of War to expand coordination with the Department of Health and Human Services and the Department of Justice to target fentanyl and precursor chemicals. Requires a report to Congress identifying gaps in detection, monitoring, and interdiction efforts.\n\nCombating foreign malign influence. Requires the Department of War to develop a strategy for identifying, assessing, and countering foreign malign influence activities in the cognitive warfare domain, including disinformation, propaganda, psychological operations, and other influence activities conducted by foreign adversaries.\n\nReducing reliance on Chinese-sourced defense materials. Requires the Comptroller General to assess the Department of War's reliance on Chinese-sourced materials used in munitions, microelectronics, and energy storage systems and recommend alternative sourcing strategies.\n\nStrengthening partnerships with research universities. Requires the Department of War to prioritize partnerships with institutions of higher education conducting research in hypersonics, biotechnology, and artificial intelligence while expanding reporting to Congress on those partnerships.\n\nSecuring military medical supply chains. Requires the Secretary of War to assess vulnerabilities in military medical supply chains, including reliance on Chinese sources for active pharmaceutical ingredients and medical devices, and report the findings to Congress within 180 days.\n\nAssessing threats from foreign-controlled digital platforms. Requires the Secretary of War to assess the risks posed by foreign adversary-controlled digital platforms to operational security, force protection, military personnel, and military installations, including threats related to data collection, cognitive warfare, foreign influence operations, and propaganda.\n\nAccelerating artificial intelligence adoption.
