Press Release

The chairman and ranking member of the House Armed Services Subcommittee on Military Personnel today unveiled details of the portion of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2012 which will be marked up by the subcommittee on Wednesday. Subcommittee Chairman Joe Wilson's mark (R-S.C.) provides America's military personnel a pay increase and continues the strong support the committee has always provided military families.

"Throughout my time in Congress, I have worked to make sure our men and women in uniform, their families, and veterans are adequately compensated for their selfless sacrifice and dedication to our great nation. The missions undertaken by our service members entail risk and requirements that are second to none, and few others realize this as their families do," said Chairman Wilson. "I am proud this bipartisan legislation reflects the Committee's commitment to our troops and their loved ones. I also appreciate the opportunity to work with other Members of the Committee and their staffs, and I recognize the work spent putting it together."
