you could cut 10 to 20% of the military budget and not affect the number of soldiers or armament. personal experience.
my squadron had us strip, sand, and repaint all the baseboards in our barracks 2 months before the new budget was to be submitted, for the sole purpose of making sure they didn't lose that money for next year. grand total spent was 250k. they had us move in to brand new barracks 6 months afterwards so they could demolish the ones we were living in.

it's only unclear if you wish it to be. the government/you have a known set of programs and services you have to pay for. if you don't, then you already are in hot water and need to re-evaluate how you run your budget.
