"As the command responsible of overseeing two wars, U.S. Central Command saw huge increases in personnel and budget at its MacDill Air Force Base headquarters after 9/11. Since 2001, the command's Tampa-based contingent of military and civilian personnel jumped 70 percent by 2013, to nearly 2,730, with another 1,300 positions allocated to its subordinate commands. Funding rose to almost a billion dollars the previous year, according to a recently released report by the Government Accountability Office mandated by Congress. But with the war in Iraq over and the war in Afghanistan drawing to a close, Centcom poses a vexing challenge for the Pentagon, according to the GAO. On the one hand, it is responsible for one of the world's most dangerous regions, including Syria, Iran and Egypt and isn't about to close up shop just because one major ground war is over and the other will end in December. On the other hand, Centcom draws the bulk of its funds from money allotted for war -- called overseas contingency funds -- and the Pentagon has yet to figure out how to pay for future operations out of its base budget."

"The 2015 Defense Appropriations Bill passed the U.S. House Appropriations Committee on Tuesday and is now headed to the House floor. U.S. Rep. Ander Crenshaw, R-Fla., who sits on the House Defense Appropriations Subcommittee, insisted that the bill will help the First Coast’s military community.

“My No. 1 priority is to provide our servicemen and women with the resources they need to protect our national security on the First Coast and wherever they serve,” Crenshaw said. “That commitment also means ensuring our military and their families receive the benefits and access to the housing and quality-of-life programs they have earned and deserve.

“This bill accomplishes these goals across the board by retaining 11 cruisers (CG) in the Navy fleet and the refueling of the nuclear aircraft carrier USS George Washington (CVN 73),” Crenshaw added. “These vessels have many years of service left in them and keeping them operational in the fleet only makes common sense."

"The 2014 Florida Legislative session has concluded and Governor Rick Scott has approved dedicated funding for space and aerospace projects in Florida, through Space Florida’s 2014-2015 budget. The new budget breaks down in the following manner: $10 million for Space Florida general operations and programs (includes $500,000 for an FIT joint initiative tied to Centers of Excellence research) $5 million for Space Florida financing projects - half of which may be used to assist with commercialization of the former Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) at Kennedy Space Center (The latter will only occur if Space Florida and NASA reach a mutual agreement on terms for refurbishment and use of the site. In the absence of such an agreement, this funding may be utilized toward financing further economic expansion activities across the state.) $1.5 million for space tourism marketing (recurring) $1 million to foster collaborative aerospace research, development and commercialization of projects through a Memorandum of Understanding with the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Labor of the State of Israel (recurring)"

"A US House panel on Tuesday approved $570 billion in Pentagon spending for 2015, but became the first committee to support retiring the A-10 fleet. After several hours of debating and voting on amendments, the House Appropriations Committee easily approved a $491 billion defense appropriations bill and a separate $79.4 billion overseas contingency operations (OCO), or war funding, section. That matches the Obama administration’s request for both when the spending level of a separate military construction bill — which the full House already has approved — is factored in. In a major victory for the Pentagon and US arms makers, the bill proposes $63.4 billion for weapons research and development, nearly $370 million above the 2014 enacted amount and $171 million more than the administration sought."
