  • The Pentagon comptroller has launched a website with all the materials it has released about the fiscal 2020 budget request.
  • House Armed Services Committee Republicans released a policy paper supporting the growth in the budget.
  • The committee’s chairman continued to push back against the President’s wall funding request and padding the overseas contingency operations (OCO) fund to get around budget caps. “It’s FOCO – fake OCO,” Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.) said in a speech Wednesday, according to CQ.
  • DOD’s budget request cuts commissary funding by 21 percent, but the Defense Commissary Agency insists it will not impact customers, according to Military Times.
  • The budget would also cut about 15,000 military medical positions, making them civilian positions instead, according to Military.com.
