About
The U.S. House Committee on Armed Services, also known as the House Armed Services Committee, is a standing committee of the United States House of Representatives that oversees U.S. military policy. It handles legislation on military matters, including authorization of funds and strategy reviews, and is responsible for funding and oversight of the Department of Defense (DoD), the United States Armed Forces, and substantial portions of the Department of Energy. Its regular legislative product is the National Defense Authorization Act, which has been passed by Congress and signed into law each year since 1962. The committee also conducts investigations into issues such as extremism within the armed forces.
