war budget
Combat funding allocation
A war budget is the portion of government spending allocated to military operations, defense, and armed conflict.
It may refer to a nation's regular defense appropriations or to emergency funding during wartime: Congress approved a supplemental war budget for the ongoing conflict.
The term sometimes appears critically to highlight military spending priorities: They found money for the war budget but not for schools.
