Funding
Updated April 22, 2024
The annual Department of Defense Appropriations Act primarily funds U.S. Department of Defense
(DOD) activities except for military construction and family housing programs. It also funds certain
activities of the intelligence community.
The Department of Defense Appropriations Act, 2024 (Division A of P.L. 118-47) provided a total of
$814.4 billion-$1.7 billion (0.2%) less than the President's budget request. Including funding for
medical insurance for military retirees and excluding nondefense funding, defense discretionary funding
in the act totaled $824.3 billion. That amounted to 93% of the $886.3 billion defense spending cap
Congress established in the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023 (FRA; P.L. 118-5). Certain types of funding,
including funding designated for emergency requirements, are effectively exempt from the FRA spending
limits. See Table 1.
This product provides a summary of funding in the House-passed version of the act (H.R. 4365; H.Rept.
118-121), Senate Appropriations Committee (SAC)-reported version (S. 2587; S.Rept. 118-81), and
enacted version of the act.
H.R. 4365
On June 15, 2023, the House Appropriations Committee (HAC) adopted draft FY2024 subcommittee
allocations, including for the Subcommittee on Defense (HAC-D). According to the committee, the total
defense funding across the subcommittees was equal to the amount allowed under the FRA defense cap.
H.R. 4365 would have provided $816.4 billion-$0.3 billion (0.04%) more funding than requested, with
no funds emergency-designated.
S. 2587
On June 22, 2023, the SAC reported its FY2024 subcommittee allocations (S.Rept. 118-45), including for
the Subcommittee on Defense (SAC-D). (These allocations were subsequently revised, most recently on
July 26; S.Rept. 118-78). According to CBO, the total defense funding across the subcommittees was
equal to the amount allowed under the FRA defense cap. S. 2587 would have provided $821.2 billion-
$5.1 billion (0.6%) more than requested. The bill would have provided a total of $8 billion in emergency-
