This KIPEC Brief covers an analysis of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2025.

The report provides an overview of the key provisions of the NDAA, highlighting its importance and outlining the legislative progress during the House's review process. It also examines the positions of both political parties, the White House's stance, and the reactions of the leaders in the Senate and House. Additionally, the brief outlines the legislative review procedures and expected timeline for the NDAA's passage. Both the Senate and House bills are expected to include provisions that maintain the current deployment levels of U.S. forces in South Korea, reinforce commitments to extended deterrence, and strengthen the ROK-US alliance.

Moreover, the brief summarizes key points from reports released in July 2024 by the Congressional Research Service (CRS) and the Congressional Budget Office (CBO). It also provides insights into the legislative trends in the federal legislature for July, as well as key developments and events from Congress during July and August.
