S 2339 United States Senate · 118th Congress

A bill to extend the prohibition on certain reductions to the B-1 bomber aircraft squadrons.

This bill extends the existing prohibition on reducing B-1 bomber aircraft squadrons through fiscal year 2026, instead of ending on September 30, 2023 as previously scheduled. It amends Section 133(c)(1) of the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act (Public Law 117-81) to change the termination date. The provision directly affects the U.S. Air Force's planning for B-1 bomber fleet levels by preventing reductions during the extended period. This is a procedural adjustment to maintain current squadron levels without altering the underlying policy.
