The Military Veterans Caucus is the largest in the legislature.
The bipartisan caucus is made up of 64 "military veterans, those who represent a district with military interest, and others with a particular interest in military affairs," according to a press release from Speaker Joe Hackney's office.
This year, it includes 49 representatives and 15 senators.
That makes it bigger than the 30-member Legislative Black Caucus as well as the 43 women in the legislature.
The caucus' steering committee is made up of Democratic Sen. Bob Atwater, Republican Sens. Harry Brown and Pete Brunstetter, Democratic Reps. Larry Hall and Grier Martin and Republican Rep. Ric Killian.
Atwater served in the Air Force; Brunsetter, in the Navy; Hall, in the Marines. Martin and Killian are Army reservists and Brown's district includes Camp Lejeune.
The caucus will meet for the first time this session next week.
