=== Expenditure ===
From 1999-2018, the military budget has averaged at approximately 10% of annual government expenditure, before peaking at over 20% in 2017 during the [[Auroran-Cerenerian War]]. Since then, spending has reduced to 8% after a cut intended to divert funding towards humanitarian aid, rebuilding, infrastructure development and social programs, with the 2021 budget announced at 82.4 Billion Kiribs. Funding is divided between branches based on their needs at the beginning of each fiscal year and may be amended quarterly with changing circumstances.
A large fraction of the military budget from each branch is put towards research and development, often supporting independent domestic development companies and manufacturers such as [[Sentinel-ARMS]] and National Ballistics Systems.
