National defense is one of 20 major functions used by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to organize budget data-and the largest in terms of discretionary spending. The national defense budget function (identified by the numerical notation 050) comprises three subfunctions: DOD-Military (051); atomic energy defense activities primarily of the Department of Energy (053); and other defense-related activities (054), such as FBI counterintelligence activities. National Defense Budget The $761.8 billion national defense budget request includes $750 billion in discretionary budget authority and $11.8 billion in mandatory budget authority (see Figure 1), according to OMB. The national defense budget request represents an increase of $35.6 billion (4.9%) in nominal dollars from the FY2019 amount of $726.2 billion, according to OMB. Adjusting for inflation, the overall request amounts to $746.6 billion in constant FY2019 dollars, representing a real increase of $20.4 billion (2.8%) from the FY2019 amount, according to a CRS analysis of OMB data. The $750 billion requested for national defense discretionary spending breaks down as follows: * $718.3 billion for DOD (95.8% of the total); * $23.2 billion for atomic energy activities (3.10%); and * $8.4 billion for other defense-related activities (1.1I%).
