The US defense budget grew by 10.7% in 2023 to $818.8 billion, up from $739.5 billion in 2022. The current budget follows a low in 2021 after financial strain caused by the COVID-19 pandemic heavily restricted budget size, but has since recovered in response to the deteriorating global security environment: The Russian invasion of Ukraine and continued tensions with China over territory in the South China Sea and wider Indo-Pacific. These conflicts have refocused attention for the US government on supporting the rules-based international order it upholds and providing material and training assistance to major NATO and non-NATO allies. The National Defense Authorization ACT (NDAA) for 2024 stipulates an expected defense budget jump of 2.8% to $841.4 billion in 2024. This figure excludes spending by the Department of Energy and Atomic Energy Defense Activities from the NDAA total spend. By 2028, the total defense budget is forecast to reach $931.6 billion, a positive CAGR in the forecast period of 2.6%. Major points of political contention in this year’s defense budget have been foreign military aid to Ukraine and Israel.​
