The Air Force is requesting $119 billion in its Fiscal 2012 baseline budget proposal plus another $16.4 billion to support the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, from an overall request of $671 billion for the Defense Department. That $135.4 billion for Air Force-specific programs grows to a total of $166.3 billion when factoring the $30.9 billion in joint initiatives-so-called "non-blue" programs funded from USAF accounts. The $135.4 billion blue request is $4.5 billion less than USAF's Fiscal 2011 blue budget proposal of $140.4 billion.
