DOD intel budget nearly $28B for FY-23

The Defense Department's fiscal year 2023 military intelligence program budget was nearly $28 billion, according to a Pentagon announcement.

“The department has determined that releasing this topline figure does not jeopardize any classified activities within the MIP,” DOD said, noting that “[n]o other MIP budget figures or program details will be released, as they remain classified for national security reasons.”

The Pentagon had requested $26.3 billion for MIP in FY-23, while Congress enacted $24 billion for FY-22.

Meanwhile, DOD has requested $29.3 billion in MIP spending for FY-24.
