Asking for just $308M, Army submits modest wish list to Congress
By: Jen Judson   1 day ago

The unfunded requirements list is a wish list typically sent to Congress by each service to help guide Capitol Hill in considering what additional funding beyond the budget request Congress might provide as lawmakers begin to draft the policy and spending bills.
