Budget uncertainty looms again over DoD and the Army

Welcome to the new Congressional year. What a start 2019 and the 116th Congress have had so far: the partial government shutdown, a funding bill along with a declared emergency to add funding to the border wall, the delay in the budget being submitted to Congress, and the beginning of congressional hearings and preparations for many more hearings to come.

And we are only in February!

The administration is required by law (31 U.S.C. 1105(a)) to submit its budget request to the Congress by the first Monday in February, but once again the budget is delayed. This year the delay is due to the government shutdown.
