Name the three Appropriations Subcommittees that directly affect DoD funding?

• A. Energy & Water Development; Defense; Military Construction, Veteran's Affairs, & Related Agencies
• B. Defense; Military Construction; & Related Agencies; Energy & Water Development
• C. Energy & Water Development; Defense; Military Construction, Veteran's Affairs, & Related Agencies
• D. Veterans Affairs; Interior; Energy & Water Development

Answer: (C)

Understanding which Appropriations Subcommittees directly affect DoD funding. The Defense subcommittee writes the main DoD appropriation, shaping budgets for the Army, Navy, Air Force, and defense-related programs. The Military Construction, Veterans Affairs, and Related Agencies subcommittee funds military construction projects and the Department of Veterans Affairs, both of which directly support DoD readiness and personnel needs. The Energy and Water Development subcommittee funds the Department of Energy’s defense-related programs, including nuclear security and other energy initiatives tied to national defense. These three subcommittees together determine the bulk of funds that go to the Department of Defense. Other subcommittees cover areas not directly tied to DoD budgets.
