The Defense Department has revised the Military Intelligence Program top line budget request for Fiscal 2017, increasing it by nearly $2 billion, according to a Pentagon announcement. The new top line budget is $18.5 billion, including base budget and overseas contingency operations funding, up from the $16.8 billion announced in February 2016. “No other MIP budget figures or program details will be released, as they remain classified for national security reasons,” according to the release.
The Air Force budget would grow to $234 billion while Space Force spending would shrink to $26 billion under the White House's yearly ask.
