The Department of Defense released today the Military Intelligence Program (MIP) appropriated top line budget for FY 2021. The total MIP budget, which included both the base budget and Overseas Contingency Operations appropriations, was $23.3 billion and is aligned to support the National Defense Strategy. The department has determined that releasing this top line figure does not jeopardize any classified activities within the MIP. No other MIP budget figures or program details will be released, as they remain classified for national security reasons. After peaking at $27 billion in 2010, the military intelligence program eventually bottomed out at $16.5 billion in FY15. MIP funding has been steadily increasing since that time. The FY21 funding total reflects modest growth of 0.9 percent, compared to a 7.4 percent jump between FY19 and FY20.
