The Smith-Mundt Modernization Act of 2012 was introduced by Representatives Mac Thornberry (R-TX) and Adam Smith (D-WA). It was included as part of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2013, which was signed into law by President Barack Obama on January 2, 2013. The amendment was not the result of a directive from a single individual but rather a legislative effort supported by multiple members of Congress and ultimately enacted through the broader defense authorization process.
