tiative with a total amount of $21,800,000,000 in 
obligated funds and an additional $4,500,000,000

tional Defense Strategy that aims to defend and de-
feat against strategic competitors and increase pres-
ence, enhance prepositioning, improve infrastructure, 
increase exercises and training, and strengthen ally 
and partner capability; 
(4) the Indo-Pacific Command’s independent 
assessment to Congress outlining the resourcing re-
quirements to Regain the Advantage establishes the

pabilities, and budgetary priorities; and
