I'm not going to drag you through the search process, since I actually found a pretty clear statement. http://www.fas.org/sgp/crs/natsec/RS22455.pdf Military Operations: Precedents for Funding Contingency Operations in Regular or in Supplemental Appropriations Bills
Short version? Korea: In 1951, 2/3 of funding was via supplementals (13/32.8 bn in regular/supplemental appropriations). In 1952, the #s shifted to 55.2/1.4, and in 1953 were 44.3/0 Vietnam: FY65: $.7bn in supplemental, 0 in regular FY66: $1.7bn regular, $12.3bn supplemental FY67: $10.3bn regular, $12.2bn supplemental FY68: $20bn regular, $3.8bn supplemental FY69: $25.5bn regular, $1.3bn supplemental FY70: $23.2bn regular, 0 supplemental FY71: $20bn regular, 0 supplemental FY72-75: SEA costs not differentiated
Persian Gulf War: $42bn supplemental for FY91
Somalia/etc. "In the early 1990s, operations in Somalia, Southwest Asia (including Operations Provide Comfort, Southern Watch, and Northern Watch), Haiti, and Bosnia were funded annually in successive supplemental appropriations acts.
In action on the FY1996 defense appropriations bill, however, Congress decided to include funding for ongoing operations in Southwest Asia in regular appropriations bills rather than in supplementals, and it directed the Administration to request funding for ongoing military operations in regular bills in the future.
Subsequently, in the FY1997 defense budget and in later requests, the Clinton Administration included funding for ongoing operations, including operations in Southwest Asia and in Bosnia, in the regular defense budget."

Kosovo was handled the same way.
