Federal agency
Department of Defense
Military personnel, operations, procurement, and related defense activities.
What this means
DoD is the core national-defense agency. Award obligations capture contracts and assistance it awards; military pay and broader program outlays also appear in Treasury presentations. Award figures on The Ledger come from archived USAspending awarding-agency rollups (obligations). That is not the same as every dollar the agency outlays.
