I know this may seem like an esoteric budgeting question, but does this mean that other departments are essentially funding the Space Force and don't expect to recover their labour costs, or will they be accrued and cross-charged back to the respective departments when (if?) Space Force's $15.4B funding is approved?
- jessaustin 7y agoAt the Pentagon, it doesn't matter. They don't have to balance the books. The adjustments swamp the actual spending.
- gizmo686 7y agoSpace force is fundamentally a reorganization. Work that had previusly been done by other branches (mostly airforce) is being moved to its own branch. During the transition, work (hopefully) continues without interuption. As I read the proposal, the airforce will recieve a corresponding drop in funding to reflect their reduced scope.
