Congress Eyes New Cyber and Communications Powers for the National Guard
Lawmakers are weighing how far to expand the National Guard’s authority in cyberspace and communications resilience as they draft the next National Defense Authorization Act.
Legislators in the House and Senate are investigating methods to expand the powers of the National Guard in cyber operations and communication resilience as part of the FY 2026 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA).
The proposed clauses would place National Guard units at the forefront of safeguarding crucial infrastructure, enhancing systems for communication, and installing modern technologies for disaster response.
However, there are significant differences about whether Washington deserves to preserve state control or its command of the digital response mission.
The Department of War (DOW) is required to look into the current role of the Guard in reacting to cyber-attacks as part of the suggested NDAA amendments in the House.
