U.S. Space Force

President Biden’s proposed $715 billion defense budget for 2022 contains $17.4 billion for the United States Space Force, which is $2.2 billion more than the budget passed by Congress in 2021. The Pentagon provided information on the president’s funding proposal for the fiscal year that starts on October 1 on May 28. The White House is requesting $6 trillion in federal expenditure from Congress. The Space Force spends around 2.5 percent of the Defense Department’s total budget. The $2.2 billion hike proposed for 2022 is a huge boost for the tiniest military unit, which was founded only 18 months ago.
