This bill extends a prohibition on reducing B-1 bomber aircraft squadrons by three years, pushing the deadline from September 30, 2023 to September 30, 2026. The measure prevents the Department of Defense from cutting back on the number of operational B-1 bomber squadrons during this extended period. The bill affects the military's ability to restructure its bomber fleet and was introduced by Senator Ted Cruz. No specific new funding is allocated in the legislation; rather, it maintains existing restrictions on how the military can manage its bomber inventory. The prohibition ensures that current B-1 squadron levels remain in place through fiscal year 2026.
