The Department of Defense Budget: An Orientation : Congressional Research Service (CRS) , November 12 , 2021
From the overview: “The Biden Administration requested $715.0 billion in discretionary budget authority for DOD in FY2022.2 This amounts to 49% of all discretionary spending requested for that fiscal year.3 In general, the following analysis divides the budget request into groupings that correspond to major sections (or “titles”) of the annual defense authorization and appropriations bills: military personnel, operation and maintenance, procurement, and research and development (R&D). A fifth section incorporates funding for the Defense Health Programand several smaller components of the DOD budget that the defense appropriation bill treats in two separate titles. The budget for military construction, the sixth section of this analysis, is covered by a separate appropriations bill, which also funds the Department of Veterans Affairs and other agencies.”
