“The FY'26 NDAA included two amendments, Amendment No. 116 and No. 117, submitted by Ezell, which passed by voice vote.” Amendment No. 117 “authorizes $3M in FY2026 for SOCOM Program Element 1160405BB to procure ultra-light (<6 lb) Group-1 small unmanned aerial systems (sUAS).” The release also says the bill “supports servicemembers and military families” with a pay raise and readiness provisions.

Concrete legislative action: Ezell secured a defense amendment to fund small UAS for SOCOM and voted for the FY26 NDAA, which he framed as improving readiness and support for servicemembers. This is strong evidence of effort and partial delivery on equipping troops, but not proof that all servicemembers were properly equipped and protected.

Ezell states: “we must ensure that our armed forces have the best weapons, armor, and technology available.” The page lists key votes including “Yes on the National Defense Authorization Act,” which it says funds the military and includes a pay raise for servicemembers, and it says Ezell is “working to support our troops and invest in making our military effective and efficient.”

Official ongoing position statement showing Ezell continues to advocate for better weapons, armor, technology, and readiness for the armed forces. It supports continued effort, but it is aspirational and does not demonstrate completed delivery of the pledge.

Ezell welcomed the Coast Guard’s decision to return Station Pascagoula to full response operations, saying it “plays a critical role in protecting our maritime border, supporting search and rescue missions, and safeguarding the Port of Pascagoula.” The release says capabilities had been temporarily reduced in 2023 due to workforce shortages and would be fully restored in 2026.

This is relevant as a concrete service-readiness and protection-related action in Ezell’s district, but it is limited to Coast Guard station operations rather than a broad servicemembers-equipped-and-protected promise. It suggests partial progress on protection/readiness within his jurisdiction.

The amendment roster shows Ezell submitted Amendment No. 1015, described as adding language to authorize FY2026 funding for SOCOM Program Element 1160405BB and related small unmanned aerial systems language, later reflected in committee and floor action.

Committee documentation corroborates that Ezell took concrete action to advance troop-equipment funding through the NDAA process. This supports effort and partial delivery but still does not establish full satisfaction of the broad promise.

The rules package lists “Ezell (MS) #1015 (LATE) (REVISED)” and indicates the amendment “Adds language to (10...” with the surrounding FY2026 NDAA amendment list including Ezell’s small unmanned aerial systems language.

Independent official committee evidence that Ezell’s defense amendment was part of the FY26 NDAA package, reinforcing that he pursued specific equipment-related improvements for the military.
