Standing committee of the U.S. House of Representatives
The U.S. House Committee on Armed Services , commonly known as the House Armed Services Committee or HASC , is a standing committee of the United States House of Representatives . It is responsible for funding and oversight of the Department of Defense (DoD) and the United States Armed Forces , as well as substantial portions of the Department of Energy . Its regular legislative product is the National Defense Authorization Act , which has been passed by Congress and signed into law each year since 1962.[2]
Jurisdiction
The Armed Services Committee has jurisdiction over defense policy generally, ongoing military operations, the organization and reform of the Department of Defense and Department of Energy, counter-drug programs, acquisition and industrial base policy, technology transfer and export controls, joint interoperability, the Cooperative Threat Reduction program, Department of Energy nonproliferation programs, and detainee affairs and policy.[3]
History
The Armed Services Committee was created by the Legislative Reorganization Act of 1946 , which consolidated the functions of two predecessor committees: the Committee on Military Affairs and the Committee on Naval Affairs , which were established as standing committees in 1822. Another predecessor, the Committee on the Militia , was created in 1835 and existed until 1911 when it was abolished and its jurisdiction transferred to the Committee on Military Affairs.[4]
