Now more than ever, we must provide our armed forces with the resources to continue American military might for decades to come. We must invest in dominating new domains, like space and cyber, to ensure American soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and guardians always have the upper hand on the battlefield.
Invest in resources for the armed forces and new domains such as space and cyber.

Its provisions include procurement for the Air Force and Space Force, cyberspace-related matters, Space Force personnel management, and threat-sharing with commercial space operators.
Assessments
Flood promised a broad federal legislative outcome: investing in armed-forces resources and newer defense domains such as space and cyber. During his House term, he voted for final passage of the FY2024 National Defense Authorization Act conference report, which became Public Law 118-31 and authorized defense activities including Air Force and Space Force procurement, cyberspace matters, Space Force personnel provisions, and commercial-space threat sharing. For a U.S. House member, supporting enactment of a relevant NDAA is sufficient delivery of this broad promise in the same term.
