Pentagon to Decide Which Military Construction the Border Wall Will Replace

The Defense Department will have a list by May 10 of the military construction projects that can be delayed in order to transfer $3.6 billion in funding to pay for border wall construction. The list of projects is to exclude family housing, barracks, dormitory projects, projects already awarded and projects that have fiscal year 2019 award dates.
