Defense budget

The defense budget is the portion of a government's budget allocated for military expenditures, including personnel salaries, equipment, training, operations, and maintenance. It reflects a nation's commitment to national security and its military capabilities. This budget covers everything from maintaining armed forces to investing in new technologies and weapons systems. The size and focus of the defense budget can vary based on a country's security needs, geopolitical threats, and political priorities. It is often a topic of debate regarding the balance between military spending and funding for other public services like education and healthcare.
