The US government released the President’s FY2022 Budget proposal on 28 May.
The Biden-Harris Administration is requesting $752.9 billion for national defence in FY2022, of which $715 billion is for the US DoD.
An official statement by the Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin highlighted that US priorities have shifted to ending 'forever wars' and investing in 'cutting-edge capabilities'.
In this video, Shephard puts together a snapshot of the FY2022 budget proposal collating key data from across all domains (air, land, sea, space, and cyberspace), including the top three investment priorities for each military division.
