The Military Readiness Permitting Efficiency Act of 2026 aims to streamline the review process for priority programs and projects within the Department of Defense. The main objective is to ensure that important military initiatives can proceed more quickly by allowing the Department of Defense to collaborate with other federal agencies. One of the key provisions of this legislation is the authorization for the Secretary of Defense and military department secretaries to enter into agreements with the National Marine Fisheries Service and the United States Fish and Wildlife Service.
