The DoD office you’ve never heard of — and why that’s about to change
By: John Walker   19 hours ago
What does the future hold for American military might? By many accounts, the situation appears bleak. For fiscal 2018, the federal budget is $4.094 trillion, of which roughly 62 percent — or $2.535 trillion — is mandated spending on Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. These accounts will continue to grow as the population ages, placing evermore pressure on discretionary spending. One such discretionary account is the defense budget, which has fallen as a percent of gross domestic product from 5.7 percent in 2010 to 4.5 percent in 2015, and it’s projected to drop to 3.8 percent by 2020.
