FY2023 NDAA: Military Construction
Authorizations
August 23, 2022
For the fiscal year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (FY2023 NDAA), the President's budget
requested $12.2 billion for Department of Defense (DOD) Military Construction (MILCON) accounts. As
deliberation over the FY2023 NDAA (H.R. 7900; S. 4543) continues, Congress may debate additional
funding authorizations for MILCON projects. The House-passed version of the bill would authorize $4.3
billion more than requested, while the Senate Armed Services Committee-reported version of the bill
would authorize $5.1 billion more than requested. Both measures also include provisions that would
address military housing issues, which have been of particular interest to Congress (see Table 1).
Congress typically authorizes funding for MILCON projects in Division B of the annual NDAA.
In general, DOD MILCON accounts fund military construction projects; major infrastructure
improvements; land acquisition; construction and operation of military family housing; privatized housing
through the Family Housing Improvement Fund and the Military Unaccompanied Housing Improvement
Fund; construction and environmental cleanup projects required by the Base Realignment and Closure
Commission (BRAC) process; and contributions to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
Security Investment Program, which funds infrastructure projects and cost-sharing expenses for collective
defense.
President's Budget Request
The President's FY2023 budget requested $12.2 billion to fund military construction, family housing,
BRAC activities, and related discretionary funding-$1.1 billion (8%) less than the enacted FY2022 level
of $13.3 billion. The request included $9.9 billion in military construction authorities, $2.0 billion in
family housing accounts and $284.6 million for BRAC activities. In terms of dollar value, some of the
largest requested stand-alone projects included
 $621 million to build a dry dock replacement at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, HI;
