Aggregate: total US national-military outlays
Organization
This node is not a single organisation. It stands for the total money the US government spends on its military, the federal budget category Treasury calls "military" (function 050). Treasury statements record $820.7B in FY2023, $874.0B in FY2024 and $916.6B in FY2025, plus $481.1B in the first half of FY2026, about $3.09T from October 2022 to March 2026. Most of that money becomes contracts for private weapons makers: the Pentagon obligated about $1.76T on contracts from FY2023 through the FY2026 data published so far. The aid packages and arms sales to Israel on this map are paid from this pool or from add-ons such as the April 2024 $26.38B Israel supplemental. The 2026 Iran war added about $38B by 1 August 2026. The label "Military system" is a euphemism; this map should call the node "U.S. military spending".
