The National Defense Authorization Act approved by the U.S. Senate and sent to President Obama for his signature would increase the pay for Soldiers.

Senator Jerry Moran said their pay would increase 2.1%. “The largest increase now in five years. And we were successful in making certain that money for an unmanned aerial vehicle complex at Fort Riley was included. That’s an additional $12.2 million dollars to be spent at Fort Riley in military construction.”

Moran indicated the President is expected to sign the bill.
