FY2017 National Defense Authorization Act: Selected Military Personnel Issues
Summary
Military personnel issues typically generate significant interest from many Members of Congress
and their staffs. The Congressional Research Service (CRS) has selected a number of the military
personnel issues considered in deliberations on H.R. 4909 as passed by the House on May 26,
2016, S. 2943 as passed by the Senate on July 21, 2016, and the final enacted bill (PL. 114-328)
which was signed by the President on December 23, 2016. This report provides a brief synopsis
of sections in each bill that pertain to selected personnel policies. These include issues such as
military end-strengths, pay and benefits, military healthcare (TRICARE), military retirement, and
other major policy issues.
This report focuses exclusively on the annual national defense authorization act (NDAA)
legislative process. It does not include language concerning appropriations, or tax implications of
policy choices, topics that are addressed in other CRS products. Issues that have been discussed
in the previous year's defense personnel reports are designated with an asterisk in the relevant
section titles of this report.Congressional Research Service
