Federal Drive with Tom Temin show

Summary: The 2021 budget the Pentagon rolls out next week will include about $5.7 billion in savings, the result of a recent review of DoD’s so-called “fourth estate.” Details on exactly what’s being cut are still to come. But the department said it’s just the beginning. Top brass said they'll continue to scour Defense organizations for funds that can be reallocated to the National Defense Strategy. Federal News Network’s Jared Serbu joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin to talk about what is known so far, and what’s still to come in the review process.
