Over 150 US military programs face delays due to temporary budget resolution
Over 150 US military programs face delays as the Pentagon operates under a continuing resolution that prohibits funding new starts.
The US Department of Defense is operating under a continuing resolution following the start of the new fiscal year, freezing funding for new initiatives. According to military officials, over 150 new defense programs face delays because temporary spending measures prohibit the Pentagon from embarking on "new starts."
The restrictions come as military leadership attempts to accelerate the adoption of novel technologies and modernize capabilities across defense sectors. Without a full-year appropriations bill passed by Congress, funding levels remain capped at previous limits, preventing the allocation of capital toward new procurement plans and technological advancements.
