Key defense leaders will testify on Capitol Hill this week on the White House\u2019s fiscal 2025 budget request<\/a>, even as the fiscal 2024 military appropriations plan still needs to be completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seven combatant commanders are scheduled to appear at hearings on Wednesday and Thursday, with all expecting to face questions about their respective sections of the budget ask<\/a>. Lawmakers hope to have work on that spending plan done ahead of Oct. 1, the start of the new fiscal year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But the House and Senate also need to finalize a partial government funding plan \u2014 including the Department of Defense\u2019s appropriations \u2014 for fiscal 2024. Most federal agencies have been operating on short-term budget plans for the last five months, but lawmakers hope to pass a full-year plan by the end of this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If they fail to adopt those plans by Friday, it could trigger a partial government shutdown, one which could halt military paychecks for several weeks and furlough tens of thousands of Defense Department civilian employees.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
