The FY23 NDAA allocates nearly $817 billion to the Department of Defense, $30.3 billion for national security programs under the Department of Energy and $378 million for other “defense-related activities,” the DOD reported Friday.
The bill is $45 billion more than the president’s original budget request — the DOD said this increase is driven largely by the effects of inflation and the department’s efforts to accelerate the National Defense Strategy‘s implementation.
Other inflation considerations include $12.6 billion for inflation impacts on purchases, $3.8 billion for inflation in military construction and $2.5 billion for rising prices on DOD fuel purchases.
Included in the allocations is also $163 billion for procurement, $279 billion for operation and maintenance and $139 billion for research and development.
For military and civilian members of the DOD, the measure authorizes a 4.6 percent increase in pay.
The defense bill authorizes the full budget request for the European Deterrence Initiative and extends $11.5 billion in Pacific Deterrence Initiative funds through the fiscal year.
