U.S. Indo-Pacific Command needs approximately $20 billion in the next six years to execute the Pentagon's National Defense Strategy, according to a document obtained by Inside Defense. An executive summary of a report sent to lawmakers breaks down what the combatant command requires to meet the Pentagon's call to shift to a period of great power competition with countries like Russia and China.
