Airline ARLINGTON, Va., March 11, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The President's 2025 budget request increases Air Force funding by 1.6 percent, but the overall budget falls short of what's needed to modernize and fund the Air & Space Forces at a crucial time in the nation's history.
Key Points:
- "Secretary Frank Kendall is absolutely on the right track when it comes to transforming our Air Force and Space Force to stay ahead of technologically advanced competitors like China," Skoch said.
- The Department's $262.6 billion budget request includes $188.1 billion for the Air Force and $29.4 billion for the Space Force.
- The Air Force budget reflects a 1.6 percent increase over 2024, well short of inflation, while the Space Force budget reflects a 2 percent cut from the year before.
- Meanwhile, $45.1 billion, or more than 20 percent of the overall Department of the Air Force budget, will never touch either the Air Force or the Space Force.
