While the department is accustomed to operating under a continuing resolution for at least a portion of each fiscal year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/congress\/budget\/2023\/05\/29\/debt-ceiling-agreement-locks-in-bidens-proposed-defense-budget\/#:~:text=Debt%20ceiling%20agreement%20locks%20in%20Biden's%20proposed%20defense%20budget,-By%20Bryant%20Harris&#038;text=WASHINGTON%20%E2%80%94%20The%20debt%20ceiling%20agreement,3.3%25%20increase%20over%20this%20year.\" target=\"_blank\">the 2023 Fiscal Responsibility Act adds a twist.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The law stipulates that all federal agencies would face a<b> <\/b>1% cut from fiscal 2023 funding levels if the government was still operating under a CR on Jan. 1, 2024 \u2014 which it was. However, the language includes a four-month grace period, so while that initial deadline has passed, Congress has until April 30 to approve FY24 appropriations and avoid slashing the executive branch\u2019s spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While lawmakers tend to reach an annual appropriations agreement by March or April each year, Air Force officials signaled a growing concern<b> <\/b>that Congress could miss the late April deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During this week\u2019s conference, the Department of the Air Force distributed a fact sheet outlining the impact a 1% cut would have on its two services, the Air Force and Space Force. The measure would reduce the service\u2019s buying power by nearly $13 billion and put $2.8 billion in space modernization projects on hold. It would also limit production increases for key programs like the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter, Small Diameter Bomb and Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile, and delay seven Space Force launches, according to the department.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall said in keynote speech Monday that the congressional funding standoff has caused significant delays to his vision for modernizing the service. When he took on the role in 2021, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2022\/03\/03\/kendall-despite-russian-invasion-china-remains-militarys-top-challenge\/\" target=\"_blank\">he revealed seven \u201coperational imperatives\u201d<\/a> meant to inform Air Force and Space Force budget priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Initiatives driven by those priorities, 19 of which were included in service\u2019s FY24 budget request, have yet to be fully funded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt would be very disappointing to me to have been in office for an entire administration and have never received any of the needed resources to be competitive \u2014 resources that we identified in the first six months I was in office,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Key among those efforts, Kendall said, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2024\/02\/13\/us-air-force-readies-to-award-collaborative-combat-aircraft-deals\/\" target=\"_blank\">is the Air Force\u2019s Collaborative Combat Aircraft program<\/a>, which will field fleets of drones powered by autonomous software and designed to fly alongside crewed fighters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The service hopes to narrow its pool of potential CCA providers from five companies to two or three in fiscal 2024, but that timeline depends on when funding is available.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe\u2019re moving ahead with a sense of urgency on CCAs,\u201d Kendall told reporters Tuesday. \u201cAs a preamble, everything depends upon FY24 being appropriated.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the Space Force, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.c4isrnet.com\/battlefield-tech\/space\/2023\/03\/13\/space-forces-30-billion-budget-request-focuses-on-development\/#:~:text=WASHINGTON%20%E2%80%94%20The%20U.S.%20Space%20Force's,missions%2C%20according%20to%20budget%20documents.\" target=\"_blank\">which requested $30 billion in FY24<\/a>, the automatic cuts have an outsized impact. The $2.8 billion in stalled modernization projects represents nearly 10% of the service\u2019s total budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Space Force\u2019s budget has nearly doubled since it was created in 2019, and Chief of Space Operations Gen. Chance Saltzman told reporters Feb. 13 that funding delays are having \u201can acute effect\u201d on the service as it continues to grow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cOur ability to do all the missions that are required is being severely impacted by not being able to get the resources that we\u2019ve asked for,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Pentagon is operating under its third continuing resolution of fiscal 2024 as Congress continues to draft defense spending
