The request came in a letter Friday from Office of Management and Budget Director Mick Mulvaney to House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mulvaney recommended $59 billion in offsetting cuts, which in part includes $730 million for Army Corps of Engineers funding and $99 million from the State Department\u2019s Democracy Fund. Those offsets are triggering pushback from some lawmakers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The aid for the military would come largely in operations and maintenance funds, but some would be military construction funding \u2014 and in one case, procurement dollars to replace Puerto Rico Submarine Broadcast Network\u2019s Tower Lighting isolation transformer and AN\/FRT-95D solid-state transmitter damaged by Hurricane Maria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The request comes after President Donald Trump asked Congress in recent weeks for $4 billion, on top of his 2018 defense budget request, to support missile defenses against North Korea, as well as $700 million to repair U.S. Navy ships damaged by mishaps and $1.2 billion for the war in Afghanistan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most recent hurricane aid request included the following for the Department of Defense:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><b>Army: <\/b>$20.1 million to repair buildings and other structures at Corpus Christi Army Depot, Texas, damaged by Hurricane Harvey, and facilities at Fort Benning, Georgia, damaged during Hurricane Irma.<\/li><li><b>Army Reserve:<\/b> $12.5 million to fix Hurricane Maria damage at Fort Buchanan, Puerto Rico.<br><\/li><li><b>Army National Guard: <\/b>$519.3 million to replace Harvey- and Irma-damaged facilities at Camp Santiago, Army Aviation Support Facility San Juan, and Army National Guard Armories Arroyo and Gurabo, Puerto Rico, as well as Estates Bethlehem and Nazareth, U.S. Virgin Islands.

The funding would fix facilities in Puerto Rico: Fort Allen, Aguada, Mount Pirata, and Vieques West. Plus, with $201.6 million to rebuild facilities at NAS Air Station Corpus Christi and NAS Key West. There\u2019s an added $9.5 million for NAS Key West, NAS Jacksonville and Naval Submarine Base Kings Bay, Georgia.<br><\/li><li><b>Navy procurement: <\/b>$25.8 million to replace equipment at NAS Corpus Christi, Texas, and NAS Key West, including physical security equipment, industrial plant equipment, intrusion-detection systems, electronic security systems, furnishings and building fixtures.
