What is Defense Spending?

Defense spending is the total budgeted expenditure for maintaining and equipping the United States armed forces.  It also includes the costs of developing and testing modern weapons for warfare.

Purpose of Defense Spending

The increased defense spending in 1950 was to counter the threats posed by communism hoisted on the world by the Soviet Union.

  • Rebuild Japan's military forces.
  • Increase troops for the Korean War.
  • Finance the United Nations peace-keeping troops.
