Well over half of the U.S. discretionary budget is spent on defense — nearly three times what any other country spends on defense and more than the next eight countries combined. The Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation works to transform our national security spending and strategies to better meet the threats of the 21st century, promote increased oversight of the U.S. defense budget, and prioritize non-military solutions to conflict.
