The Defense Department is losing billions of dollars for each month of fiscal 2022 that it operates on a continuing resolution, and its next budget will not get any easier, national security analysts said at a forum Monday.

With Congress moving to push back a decision on fiscal 2022 funding, federal agencies are coping with the fiscal automatic pilot known as a CR, forcing them to spend at fiscal 2021 levels with limited exceptions.
