Treasury Chief Secretary Danny Alexander has written to departments setting out "planning assumptions" ahead of the Comprehensive Spending Review, which is due before the end of June.
To meet the £11.5 billion savings target most departments have been warned to expect a 10% funding reduction.
The Ministry of Defence, which Philip Hammond warned earlier this year would struggle to take any more cuts, is likely to get a 1% increase in its equipment budget and a 5%reduction on the rest.
The ConDem government is destroying the infrastructure of this country with ill thought cuts that continue to undermine growth in the economy.
The cuts in the Ministry of Defence are putting our armed forces lives at risk.
When they say Cut Back, We say Fight Back.
