U.S. Senator Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) has announced that he has secured language in the fiscal year 2026 appropriations bill aimed at protecting the hospital at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri. The provision would also require the Army to begin replacing aging housing for service members and their families stationed at the base.
"GOOD NEWS – I’ve secured language in the appropriations bill to PROTECT the hospital at Fort Leonard Wood AND to force the Army to start replacing houses on post for our servicemen and women and their families. Big win for Missouri," Hawley said in a statement shared on social media.
Senator Hawley has previously advocated for improved housing conditions at Fort Leonard Wood, having obtained more than $100 million through earlier initiatives. Earlier this year, he also urged the Army to take action to protect the base’s hospital.
