Today, Secretary of Defense Mark Esper sent a letter to Sen. James Inhofe, Chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, revealing that the Pentagon will reallocate $3.6 billion to 11 border wall construction projects.
...Construction is expected to begin in about 135 days in areas where the federal government already owns the land along the border, including the Department of Defense’s Barry M. Goldwater test range in Arizona, according to Deputy Under Secretary of Defense Comptroller Elaine McCusker.
McCusker said projects on private land could go past 2020 due to issues involved with land acquisition.
According to chief Pentagon spokesperson Jonathan Hoffman, half the money is coming from deferred projects overseas, and the other half were planned for projects in the US.
The money originally intended for overseas projects will be tapped first.
