The Army has prepared a $5.1 billion list of unfunded priorities it would appreciate Congress covering if extra defense dollars are available.
Modernization and infrastructure are the two most expensive requests.
With $2.4 billion more for modernization, the Army could upgrade enough Abrams tanks for half a brigade combat team, upgrade Bradley Fighting Vehicles and improve their weapons subsystems, accelerate the purchase of 10 short-range air defense artillery, accelerate delivery of advanced radar systems to the Army National Guard and accelerate an improved data link for Army aircraft that has increase survivability and security, according to the request sent to Congress.
