DOD procurement accounts fund the purchase of new equipment and modifications to existing weapons, including ships, aircraft, ground combat vehicles, munitions, and other products and services. The Departments of the Army, Navy, and Air Force have multiple procurement accounts, including those related to subordinate services (i.e., Marine Corps and Space Force). The Procurement, Defense-Wide account supports Special Operations Command (SOCOM), the Missile Defense Agency, and other agencies reporting to the Office of the Secretary of Defense. Congress typically appropriates funding for the National Guard and Reserve Equipment Account (NGREA) to procure items for the reserve components. Summary of Procurement Authorizations President's Budget Request The FY2022 President's budget requested $133.6 billion in discretionary funding for DOD procurement programs-$8 billion (6%) less than the enacted FY2021 level. Of this amount, $132.2 billion fell within the scope of the NDAA. In a memorandum to DOD employees, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III identified among his priorities innovation and modernization, including the divestment of legacy systems and programs that no longer meet our security needs. In an overview of the FY2022 budget request, DOD identified $2.8 billion in divestments among the Departments and SOCOM, including certain ships (e.g., Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruisers and Littoral Combat Ships), aircraft (e.g., A-10 close air support aircraft and KC-10 and KC-135 refueling tankers), and other systems. House-Passed NDAA The House-passed NDAA would have authorized $147.1 billion for procurement programs-$14.9 billion (11.2%) more than the request. The House legislation would have authorized $17 billion in increases to the request (i.e., funding beyond the amounts for certain programs requested in the budget or for programs not requested in the budget). The net effect of these increases would have been offset by $2.15 billion in decreases to the request. The Biden Administration opposed the House bill's restoration of funding to systems that limit DOD's ability to divest or retire lower priority platforms not relevant to tomorrow's battlefield.
