The Department of Defense has announced its Military Intelligence Program (MIP) budget request for the fiscal year 2026. The total requested amount is $33.6 billion, which aligns with the Interim National Defense Strategic Guidance.
According to the Department, disclosing this top line figure does not compromise any classified activities within the MIP. However, no additional MIP budget figures or program details will be disclosed due to national security concerns.
