Summary:
Total intelligence spending is usually understood as the combination of the National Intelligence
Program (NIP), which supports strategic planning and policymaking, and the Military
Intelligence Program (MIP), which supports military operational and tactical levels of planning
and operations. There are 4 defense NIP programs, 8 nondefense NIP programs, and 10 MIP
programs. Six U.S. intelligence community (IC) components have both MIP and NIP funding
sources.
Funding associated with the 17 components of the IC is significant. In fiscal year FY2017 alone,
the aggregate amount (base and supplemental) of appropriated funds for national and military
intelligence programs totaled $73.0 billion ($54.6 billion for the NIP, and $18.4 billion for the
MIP). For FY2018, the aggregate amount of appropriations requested for national and military
intelligence programs totaled $78.4 billion ($57.7 billion for the NIP and $20.7 billion for the
MIP).
In comparison with national defense spending, intelligence-related spending has remained
relatively constant over the past decade, representing approximately 11% of the total defense
budget.
