The Defense Department disclosed that its fiscal year 2015 appropriated budget for military intelligence programs is $16.5 billion, including both base and overseas contingency operations accounts.
“The department determined that releasing this top line figure does not jeopardize any classified activities within the MIP,” according to a DOD statement. “No other MIP budget figures or program details will be released, as they remain classified for national security reasons.”
In FY-14, DOD announced that its MIP budget was $17.4 billion.
