Troop pay is delayed during a government shutdown, but Singh said housing and bills are not. For example, Ukrainian "F-16 pilot training would continue," said Chris Sherwood a Pentagon spokesman. However, some "delivery of defense articles, services, and/or military education" could be paused, Sherwood said. "Under a shutdown, the government stops payments on invoices not yet paid for costs incurred before the shutdown," the letter said. NDIA and PSC represent companies like Lockheed Martin Corp (LMT.N), L3Harris Technologies Inc (LHX.N), Bank Of America Corp (BAC.N) and Oracle Corp (ORCL.N).
