What the numbers are
FY2026 enacted funding as DoD reports it in its FY2027 budget exhibits. Discretionary is the "FY 2026 Discretionary Enacted" column: the annual appropriations acts, including the separate military construction bill. Reconciliation is DoD's FY2026 spend plan for money Congress already appropriated in the 2025 reconciliation law (P.L. 119-21).
Only lines included in total obligational authority are counted. Each type of spending ties to the "FY 2026 Total" sheet of its exhibit.
How it is grouped
Sources: M-1, O-1, P-1, R-1, C-1 and RF-1 exhibits, down to the individual line: O&M sub-activity groups (for example Air Operations, then Mission and Other Flight Operations), military pay sub-activities, procurement line items, R&D program elements and construction projects. The P-1 counts "Add" lines only.
Each view shows the largest 14 items; the rest are grouped as "Other". Hover "Other" to see what is in it, or open a parent item to see everything.
Guard and Reserve accounts roll into their parent service. "Navy and Marine Corps" accounts count as Navy.
Defense agencies count as Defense-wide. The Defense Health Program, listed as the Combat and Operational Medicine Program in the FY2027 exhibits, is shown as its own type of spending. Its R&D and procurement lines sit outside the R-1 and P-1 totals and are excluded.
Defense-wide spending is broken out by agency (OSD, MDA, DARPA, SOCOM and so on). Lines with no agency listed are classified programs.
