About Pentagon Times

Pentagon Times is an independent online publication covering the Pentagon, US defense policy, the intelligence community and veterans' affairs: budgets, contracts, force structure, agency decisions, and the people affected by them.

Pentagon Times is not an official US government outlet and is not affiliated with one. Every article is drafted from supplied open sources, and every figure — contract value, budget line, benefit rule — is attributed to the document that states it.
