We’re going to host a live blog event today at 12:30pm EDT with Military.com Editor Ward Carroll who will discuss with Defense Tech and DoD Buzz readers the detailed 2010 Pentagon Budget rollout.
Make sure to watch the budget overview press conference on the Pentagon Channel at 12:30pm and come back here to chat with Ward as defense officials get into the weeds on what programs will survive the budget ax or fall victim to DoD belt tightening.
The gumshoes from Military.com, Defense Tech and DoD Buzz will be covering the individual service budget rollouts after the press conference, so stay tuned for further details as they emerge.
