McConnell Secures Kentucky Priorities in Critical Defense Bill

Press Release

"As America's adversaries grow bolder and our threats greater, it's critical our Armed Forces receive the support they need to defend our Nation and our allies. Kentucky plays a vital role in America's defense with its three premier Army installations and the Kentucky Army National Guard. From improving the capabilities of elite forces at Fort Campbell, to energizing our defense industrial base, to investing in state-of-the-art cybersecurity training, the Senate's bill deepens Kentucky's role in our national defense while honoring our military heroes for their service and sacrifice. This year, Kentuckians can also celebrate the safe and timely disposal of our Nation's last chemical weapon stockpile, a major milestone for Blue Grass Army Depot and the United States. This legislation will help support future missions at this leading facility as it continues to serve as an important hub for munitions production and distribution."
