Richard Shelby, R-Ala., ranking member on the Appropriations Committee, said that the proposals \u201cfail to appropriately allocate resources to our national defense.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Shelby said the bills fall nearly $10 billion short of the spending level agreed to in the Senate National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which the Armed Services Committee advanced last month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The divergent budget targets from different congressional committees set up a showdown this fall over what the actual defense spending total for fiscal 2023 will be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">White House officials have not raised objections over increasing the budget over their proposal, but have emphasized that money should be used to help modernize the force and not simply maintain legacy programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Senate proposal provides $25 million in funding for the sea-launched cruise missile nuclear development program <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/2022\/06\/07\/us-nuclear-commander-backs-sea-launched-cruise-missile-biden-would-cancel\/\" target=\"_blank\">(SLCM-N)<\/a>, which the Biden administration seeks to defund. The House defense spending bill would defund SLCM-N, whereas the House passed defense authorization bill authorized $45 million in funding for the program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Proponents of SLCM-N such as Admiral Charles Richard \u2013 the head of U.S. Strategic Command \u2013 argue that it\u2019s necessary to enhance the U.S. nuclear posture, whereas opponents posit that it undermines the mission of the Navy\u2019s attack submarines while adding relatively little to deterrence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">All of the differing budget bills have included money for a 4.6% pay raise, which would be the largest for troops in 20 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For junior enlisted troops, the 4.6% hike would mean about $1,300 more next year in take-home pay. For senior enlisted and junior officers, the hike equals about $2,500 more. For an O-4 with 12 years\u2019 service, it\u2019s more than $4,500 in extra pay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis legislation will keep America safe by giving our troops a well-earned pay raise, ensuring our servicemen and women are well-trained and well-equipped with the most up-to-date technology and shifting resources toward programs that\u2019ll maintain our fighting edge over adversaries like China and Russia,\u201d said Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee\u2019s defense panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2022\/06\/16\/senators-back-45-billion-boost-in-defense-spending-for-fy23\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">Senators back $45 billion boost in defense spending for FY23<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">Lawmakers say the extra money will counter rising inflation and replenish stocks of munitions sent to Ukraine.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Senate officials said the measure also includes $4.7 billion to upgrade outdated Defense Department infrastructure, including $680 million to enhance shipyards and $1.8 billion to \u201cmodernize our nation\u2019s critical test and evaluation infrastructure for emerging technologies.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Senate lawmakers are scheduled to break for an August recess next week. Officials from both chambers are expected to start negotiations over a compromise budget plan in coming weeks, but that work is unlikely to be finished by the end of the fiscal year on Sept. 30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As such, lawmakers expect to need a short-term budget extension to prevent a government shutdown in
