The U.S. Senate has approved the National Defense Authorization Act. It now goes to the President for his signature, which would give the measure final approval.

According to information released by Senator Jerry Moran, it includes $12.2 million in funding for construction of an unmanned aerial vehicle complex at Fort Riley.

The measure includes a pay increase for service members of 2.1 percent in monthly basic pay. That is the largest pay increase in five years.

The Act also removes controversial provisions that would decrease the basic allowance for housing for dual military families. Sen. Moran was part of a bipartisan group of senators calling for the removal of those provisions.
