Find out how $858 Billion in 2023 Defense Spending will translate into military contracting opportunities throughout the Pacific Region by attending the Top Pacific Defense Conference & Expo of 2023!

 

Top Congressional and Department of Defense Leaders consider USINDOPACOM as our most important long-term military theater, with billions of new dollars being allocated for contracts because of the rapidly escalating threat of Chinese Military Aggression, along with an unstable North Korea.

 

Congressman Ed Case (HI-01) has stated, "This measure strengthens our national defense and bolsters our commitments to diplomacy, development, and democracy throughout the Indo-Pacific, where the future of our country and world is being determined." The 2023 Defense Budget includes:

  • $6.1 Billion for various elements of the Pacific Deterrence Initiative (PDI)

  • $191 Million for critical U.S. Indo-Pacific Command capabilities

  • $1.2 Billion for U.S. Military infrastructure improvements in the Pacific Region

  • Funding for two SSN-774 Virginia class attack submarines which are expected to conduct operations in the Pacific and receive maintenance at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard

  • $3.5 Billion dry dock at Pearl Harbor Naval Shipyard to service new submarines

  • $103 Million for upgrading the missile storage facilities at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam

  • $383 Million for Missile Defense in Guam

  • $1.5 Billion in security cooperation to strengthen U.S. alliances and partnerships
