TheCommittee on Armed Services, sometimes abbreviated SASC forSenate Armed Services Committee, is acommittee of the United States Senate empowered withlegislative oversight of thenation's military, including theDepartment of Defense, militaryresearch and development,nuclear energy (as pertaining tonational security), benefits for members of the military, theSelective Service System, and other matters related to defense policy.[1] The Armed Services Committee was created as a result of theLegislative Reorganization Act of 1946 following the U.S. victory inWorld War II. The bill merged the responsibilities of theCommittee on Naval Affairs, established in 1816, and theCommittee on Military Affairs, also established in 1816.[1]

Considered one of the most powerful Senate committees, its broad mandate allowed it to report some of the most extensive and revolutionary legislation during theCold War years, including theNational Security Act of 1947. The committee tends to take a more bipartisan approach than other committees, as many of its members formerly served in the military or have major defense interests located in the states they represent.[2] The committee's regular legislative product is theNational Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which has been passed byCongress and signed into law annually since 1962.[3]

The current chair is RepublicanRoger Wicker of Mississippi, and the ranking member is DemocratJack Reed of Rhode Island.

With a Democratic president and vice president still serving until January 20, the Democratic vice president was available to break a tie, and the Democrats thus controlled the Senate for 17 days, from January 3 to January 20.
