For the coming fiscal year, President Donald Trump is proposing the second-biggest defense budget since World War II, even after adjusting for inflation, except for the height of the Iraq and Afghanistan wars.
The only fiscal year that has seen higher spending, save for the post-9/11 wars' peak, is the current one. The new request may ultimately be about 3 percent less than this year's spending levels, after adjusting for inflation.
Congress will go along with the total amount that Trump is proposing, but the details will be substantially reordered.
The forces that will reshape Trump’s plan include not just lawmakers but also world events and the ballooning cost of U.S. weapons, facilities and personnel benefits.
National security spending in the Pentagon and other federal departments and agencies is set by law at $740.5 billion for fiscal 2021, and that is the amount the president is requesting. The Pentagon’s base budget accounts for $636.4 billion of that total, while its overseas contingency operations, or warfighting, account is $69 billion.
