National defense budget

The national defense budget is the amount of money a country allocates annually to fund its military and security efforts. It covers expenses like salaries, equipment, technology, training, and research to protect the country from threats. The budget reflects priorities and strategic needs, balancing resources for defense with other areas such as healthcare and education. A well-funded defense budget helps ensure national safety, maintains military readiness, and supports innovation. Its size and distribution depend on security concerns, geopolitical commitments, and economic capacity.
