WASHINGTON, DC — The Pentagon submitted a 47-page omnibus reprogramming request on June 29, 2026, to reallocate approximately $4.3 billion in fiscal 2026 funds to cover higher-priority personnel and operational costs.

The plan involves budget shifts across military branches. The Army will receive $1.1 billion for personnel costs, with an additional $1.1 billion directed towards Army National Guard personnel. The Army National Guard will also receive $490 million for operations and maintenance support, while the Army will get $36 million for the same purpose. Further personnel account additions include $569 million for the Navy, $130 million for the Marine Corps, $717 million for the Air Force, and $92 million for the Space Force.

These reallocations correspond with reductions elsewhere in the defense budget. The Army will shift $1.3 billion from National Guard training and administration accounts and $746 million from its operating forces budget. Army missile procurement accounts will be reduced by $235 million, with $150 million specifically pulled from the Stinger modification line. The Pentagon also plans to purchase four fewer Sgt Stout Maneuver-Short Range Air Defense (M-SHORAD) vehicles, freeing up $74 million.

The Navy's fiscal 2026 budget will see a $1.4 billion shift. Navy aircraft procurement accounts will be reduced by $80 million, and the Tagos Surtass Ships line will be cut by $612 million. The CVN-81 program will experience a $200 million reduction due to program delays, and Navy research and development programs will be reduced by $207 million. Marine Corps missile procurement accounts are slated for a $187 million reduction.

The Air Force faces total cuts of $1.5 billion, including $99 million from personnel accounts, $774 million from aircraft procurement programs, and $191 million from the F-35 line. The Space Force will have more than $266 million pulled from research and development accounts and $42 million from space procurement accounts.

Michael Powers serves as the acting Pentagon comptroller and chief financial officer. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth testified on May 12, 2026, during a Senate Committee on Appropriations, Subcommittee on Defense hearing on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC, to examine the 2027 Department of Defense budget.
