A lot of US Military spending is wrapped up in infrastructure too. US Army Corps of Engineers for example maintains levees and dams throughout the USA. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Army_Corps_of_En... Yeah, that's part of the DoD budget. Really weird, but that's how we budget for things in the USA. Then there are mixed-projects, like Military colleges and schools. Officers are all college-educated, so when they leave the military, they still benefit private industry all the same. Or DARPA's contributions to the advancements of science (Adoption of TCP/IP and other long-term research projects) |

$4.8 billion / $639.1 billion = 0.75%
It's a minuscule part of the DoD budget. A rounding error.
The majority is spent by the army, navy, and air force. The biggest expenditure category is operation and maintenance, followed by personnel, then procurement.
