The Biden administration submitted its fiscal 2023 budget request of more than $813 billion for national defense, with $773 billion of it allocated for the Department of Defense.
The requested budget is roughly a $30 billion increase from this year’s enacted amount, which amounts to a 4.1% hike. Biden’s request is approximately 8% more than what the administration requested last year, to which Congress added tens of billions of dollars.
