Representative Buddy Carter (R-GA) has announced his formal support for the House-passed National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which includes more than $320 million in funding for military projects and installations in Georgia’s First Congressional District.
The bill now heads to the Senate for consideration and includes funding for:
- $105 million for Fort Stewart Barracks (extended)
- $22 million for Fort Stewart 10-megawatt plant (extended)
- $25.4 million for joint power generation and grid funding at Hunter Army Airfield and Fort Stewart (extended)
- $119 million for Trident refit facility expansion project at Kings Bay
- $11.2 million for Kings Bay Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition modernization (extended)
- $3.8 million for Air Guard Savannah Combat Readiness Troop Camp Design
- $11.4 million for Savannah Hilton Head International Airport’s corrosion control facility
- $27 million for Savannah Hilton Head International Airport’s Dining Hall and Services Train Facility
Also known as Senate Resolution 2296, this NDAA outlines policies and authorities for the fiscal year (FY) 2026 for Department of Defense (DOD) programs and activities, military construction, and the national security programs of the Department of Energy (DOE).
The bill also authorizes the procurement of various items, including aircraft, ships, and missiles, and active duty and reserve component personnel strength levels.
Carter emphasized the importance of this funding, particularly since Coastal Georgia is home to a strong and thriving military community. The Representative also described this as the next step in implementing President Donald Trump’s ‘Peace Through Strength’ agenda.
“Coastal Georgia is a strong military community, and it’s important that we have the world-class resources that our world-class troops deserve,” Carter said in a statement. “I’m proud to have advocated for and supported this funding, which will cement our district’s leadership in President Trump’s peace through strength agenda.”
‼️CRITICAL FUNDING is headed to Georgia, and I was proud to support it in the #FY26NDAA.
This includes $28 million for a new air traffic control tower at Robins Air Force Base & $35 million for a new 23rd Security Forces Squadron OPS facility at Moody Air Force Base.
The bill…
