While initially reluctant to get entangled in the war in Syria, the U.S. is now prepared to be more involved than ever. In fiscal year 2019, the government assigned $15.3 billion of Department of Defense funds for U.S. operations there. It set aside another $1 billion in foreign aid and other help through the Department of State, according to the Costs of War project.
