READ THE REPORT –In “Analysis of the FY 2018 Defense Budget,” Todd Harrison, director of defense budget analysis at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, and Seamus Daniels, program coordinator and research assistant for defense budget analysis at CSIS, break with tradition and look at next year’s military spending through a fresh set of lenses. “Given the somewhat unusual circumstances of the FY 2018 budget cycle, this year’s budget analysis takes a different approach,” they write. “Instead of looking at the details of what the budget request funds or does not fund, it focuses on long-term trends in the defense budget and force structure and identifies key issues facing the Defense Department as it prepares for the FY 2019 budget cycle.” Learn more about the report here.
