WASHINGTON — In an effort to boost the nation’s defense through land and space-based capabilities, U.S. Rep. Dale Strong joined with U.S. Rep. Jeff Crank to launch the House Golden Dome Caucus.
According to a news release from Strong’s office, the caucus will serve as a bipartisan member organization dedicated to ensuring the robust defense of the United States homeland.
The caucus will be a pivotal platform for members of Congress to advocate for the necessary policies, funding, and next-generation defense capabilities to protect the nation from rapidly evolving threats, the release said.
“The current threat landscape demands immediate and decisive action,” said Strong (R-Huntsville). “President Trump has artfully highlighted the nation’s critical need for a next-generation missile defense, and we can’t risk this vision not becoming a reality. The formation of the House Golden Dome Caucus signals a new era of congressional commitment to this national security initiative.
“North Alabama has played a key role in every former and current U.S. missile defense program and will undoubtedly be pivotal to the success of Golden Dome.”
The establishment of the caucus follows President Trump’s Executive Order on Jan. 27, 2025, directing the implementation of a “next-generation missile defense shield for the United States against ballistic, hypersonic, advanced cruise missiles, and other next-generation aerial attacks.”
The House Caucus will work closely with the Senate Golden Dome Caucus, chaired by Senator Tim Sheehy (R-Mont).
