In the end, the overall budget requested by the US military department was $961.6 billion, which included $197.4 billion for the Department of the Army, $292.2 billion for the Department of the Navy, $301.1 billion for the Department of the Air Force and $170.9 billion for defence wide expenditure.

Lol. Lmao. Absolute state of 'the most powerful military on the planet'.
