Explanatory terms

    "A billion = 1000 million. You can see the link incorporated into the word billion, to find out why the word billion is not used."
    Total military spending, which is the total of what has been spent on military operations, whether for the US army or within federal government institutions.
     US military revenues, which is what the US military obtained, whether through private funds or public funds through various branches, or within federal institutions whose costs are mixed with the defense budget.
    The budget of the US Army is the actual cost of the general US Army minus the other financial mixes between it and the federal government institutions, referred to previously.
    The budget for each branch or unit of the US forces is the total "spending or profit", whether direct or affiliated with the federal government.
    The term "Other Defense Organizations Budget" refers to the Military Retirement Fund, the United States Corps of Engineers Civil Works, Defense Logistics Agency, the Accounting Division, the Working Capital Fund, and other organizations.

Notes on the Budget

    There are revenues that were not collected, which made a difference in the total budget and revenues of the US ground forces, compared to the total, and the reason for their registration in the branches of the ground forces is to indicate the value of the revenues that the branches would have had if they were collected.
    Shared value is the budget of the Navy and Marine Corps together, and when deducted from their individual total budgets, results in the total budget of the Navy.
    Thus in Revenue Item 4, there is an unrecovered revenue value “computed from the value of government intervention revenue” when deducted from the total revenue of the US Navy and Marine Corps, resulting in the net revenue actually collected.
    

*General Notes

    Why was the engagement of the interventions referred to in the past separated by some items, despite the possibility of that?

    The overlaps were left and clarified in order not to reduce the real value that I needed for any sector or branch, or what the budget was before any revenue was lost, however the total net value of each military force was clarified without these clashes taking place.

    Therefore, an explanatory summary was written "for those who want to read as a news report, a presentation of the army budget for those who want to see more accurate details, support with notes and explanations for researchers, inquirers, and those most requesting information, and graphs for those who want to take a quick comparative look."
