The Administration requested $850 billion (11.35% of the total) in discretionary funding for U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) military programs (budget subfunction 051), along with $22 billion for DOD mandatory spending. Of the 12 annual appropriations measures under the jurisdiction of the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, two bills provide discretionary funding for DOD military programs: the Department of Defense Appropriations Act and the Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act. The Department of Defense Appropriations Act provides discretionary funding for nearly all military-related activities of the DOD except the construction of facilities and the provision of family housing for authorized military personnel. To date, the House has passed its version of the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2025 (H.R. 8774); and a Senate Appropriations Committee- reported version (S. 4921) awaits further action. See Table 1. House-passed H.R. 8774 Between March and June 2024, the House Committee on Appropriations (HAC) Subcommittee on Defense (HAC-D) held five open hearings and ten classified sessions to receive testimony on defense- related portions of the President's FY2025 budget request, along with a Member Day for Members to share their defense priorities with the subcommittee. Topics for the open sessions included assessments of Air Force and Space Force, Army, Navy, and Marine Corps budgets, including reserve and National Guard requests. In compliance with statutory provisions of the Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA; P.L. 118-5) and Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985 (BBEDCA; P.L. 99-177), along with congressional procedures established in consequence of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (P.L. 93-344), the House Appropriations Committee on May 23, 2024, voted on initial allocations of budget authority across all 12 appropriations measures. Under these 302(b) allocations, the Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2025, would appropriate a maximum of $833.053 billion in new budget authority.
