The fiscal year 2022 National Defense Authorization Act directs the DOD secretary to find ways to incorporate such technologies by April 1, 2022, and provide a chief digital recruiting officer with the needed resources to hire professionals with skills in digital technologies, including distributed ledgers.

The NDAA, which was approved by the Senate and House in December, reflects a 5 percent increase from the previous fiscal year’s defense policy measure.
