WASHINGTON, Feb. 22, 2018 —
The Bipartisan Budget Act puts DoD on track to rebuild, restore and modernize the U.S. military, Dana W. White, the Pentagon’s chief spokesperson, said today.
The act lifts the spending caps for fiscal years 2018 and 2019, allowing the department to climb out of a readiness trough and providing funding necessary to modernize the force.
“The bipartisan measure will allow Congress to appropriate DoD funds at the level requested … by the president for both F.Y. '18 and '19,†White said.
