The White House has made a formal request to Congress for funding. 6 billion. This funding is intended for various purposes, including replenishing the Pentagon and responding to the Ebola crisis.

The request also includes aid for US farmers. The timing of the request may be challenging, as many lawmakers have expressed objections to further military action. Further details on this request are available from the Office of Management and Budget, as reported by KPRC 2 Houston.
