Military pay and readiness won’t be hurt by flat defense budget plan, White House promises 1 day ago Soldiers from the 101st Airborne Division conduct marksmanship training at Tactical Base Gamberi in eastern Afghanistan on May 29, 2015.

Unlike past years, when overseas operations were funded through a different account, the $715 billion total includes all Defense Department spending.
