This book was released on 2008-07 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reviews the funding provided for military activities in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere in the war on terrorism and analyzes the increases in appropriations that have occurred over the past several years. Most of the spending is concentrated in two categories -- operation and maintenance, which has roughly doubled from 2004 to 2008, and procurement, which has increased tenfold over that period. The reasons for some of the increases are difficult to determine precisely because available data on the pace of operations and other factors that might affect costs are limited because some of the funding and reporting categories are very broad. Charts and tables.

This book was released on 2014-12-08 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About 92% of the funds are for Department of Defense (DOD), 6% for State Department foreign aid programs and diplomatic operations, 1% for Department of Veterans Administration's medical care for veterans. In addition, 5% of the funds (across agencies) are for programs and activities tangentially-related to war operations. The FY2015 war request for DOD, State/USAID, and Veterans Administration Medical totals $73.5 billion including $58.1 billion for Afghanistan, $5.0 billion for Iraq, $ 100 million for enhanced security, and $10.4 billion for other war-designated funding. These totals do not reflect the new FY2015 request submitted in November 2014 to cover expenses for Operations Inherent Resolve (OIR) that began with airstrikes launched in late August 2014, to aid Syrian insurgents and the Iraq government to counter the takeover of territory by the Islamic State (IS). The Administration submitted a $5.5 billion FY2015 budget amendment for this operation that Congress is considering. Including the new request, the FY2015 war funding now totals $79.0 billion. In late May 2014, the President announced that troop levels in Afghanistan would fall from 33,000 to 9,800 by January 1, 2015 with the U.S. role focusing on advising Afghan security forces and conducting counter-terror operations. A year later, by January 1, 2016, the President stated that the number of troops in Afghanistan would halve to about 4,900 and then by the beginning of 2017, settle at an embassy presence of about 1,000. Overall U.S. troop levels in Afghanistan and Iraq began to decline with the withdrawal of all U.S. troops from Iraq by December 2011. The troop decline continued with President Obama's announcement in February 2013 that the number of U.S. troops in Afghanistan would halve from 67,000 to 34,000 by February 2014. Annual war costs also decreased from a peak of $195 billion in FY2008 to $95 billion enacted in FY2014. After the reversal of the 2009 Afghanistan surge, the President promised in the 2013 State of the Union address that "our troops will continue coming home at a steady pace as Afghan security forces move into the lead [and] our mission will change from combat to support." He also stated that by "2014, this process of transition will be complete, and the Afghan people will be responsible for their own security." The FY2015 Continuing Resolution (H.J.Res. 124/P.L. 113-164) sets war funding at the FY2014 enacted level of $95.5 billion, which exceeds the FY2015 amended request (with OIR) by about $16.5 billion. The CR expires on December 11, 2014, and Congress is expected to enact another CR or an Omnibus appropriations act for the rest of the fiscal year.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With enactment of the FY2008 Supplemental/FY2009 Bridge Fund(H.R. 2642/P.L. 110-252) on June 30, 2008, Congress has approved a total of about $864 billion for military operations, base security, reconstruction, foreign aid, embassy costs, and veterans health care for the three operations initiated since the 9/11 attacks: Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) Afghanistan and other counter terror operations; Operation Noble Eagle (ONE), providing enhanced security at military bases; and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). Congress is currently considering the FY2009 Spring Supplemental which includes war funds to cover the rest of the current fiscal year. This $864 billion total covers all appropriations approved by Congress for FY2001 to meet war needs from FY2009 through the first part of FY2009, the current fiscal year. Of that total, CRS estimates that Iraq will receive about $642 billion (74%), OEF about $189 billion (20%), and enhanced base security about $28 billion (3%), with about $5 billion that CRS cannot allocate (1%). About 94% of the funds are for DOD, 6% for foreign aid programs and embassy operations, and less than 1% for medical care for veterans. As of February 2009, DODs average monthly obligations for contracts and pay were about $10.9 billion, including $8.4 billion for ...

That includes $25 billion to cover some of DOD's FY2005 costs. On these operations in its FY2005 Supplemental, including about $75 billion for DOD. If Congress approves that amount, DOD's funding through FY2005 for these missions will exceed $275 billion. Much of the debate about the new supplemental may focus on the cost and duration of U.S. involvement inn Iraq and the global war on terrorism. CBO recently estimated that military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan could cost $458 billion from FY2005 through FY2014 in addition to amounts already received.

Download or read book Additional Information About the Alternative Spending Path for Military Operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and for the War on Terrorism written by and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 4 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Congressional Budget Office's (CBO s) August 2006 baseline includes spending of appropriations provided in fiscal year 2006 for U.S. military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and for other efforts in the war on terrorism. As specified in the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, those 10-year baseline projections are based on the assumption that the current year s discretionary budget authority would be provided in each future year through 2016, with adjustments to reflect projected inflation. Less funding would be needed if the Department of Defense (DoD) was able to reduce the number of deployed troops. In its recent report, The Budget and Economic Outlook: An Update (August 2006), CBO illustrated the potential effect that decreased spending for those military activities could have on the deficit by presenting one possible alternative scenario for future military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and the war on terrorism. 1 The scenario, described in more detail here, is one of many possible outcomes and should not be regarded as an estimate of actual war costs or a prediction of how much budget authority DoD will need or request for those activities in the future. This alternative spending path assumes that military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and other activities related to the war on terrorism decline gradually from their current levels, reaching a steady state after 2010. Under such assumptions, discretionary outlays over the 2007-2016 period would be $716 billion less than the comparable baseline figures. If the baseline was otherwise unchanged, projected interest on debt would be $129 billion less than the amount in the current baseline. future.

Download or read book The Science of War written by Michael E. O'Hanlon and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-21 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An essential introduction to modern defense policy The U.S. military is one of the largest and most complex organizations in the world. How it spends its money, chooses tactics, and allocates its resources have enormous implications for national defense and the economy. The Science of War is the only comprehensive textbook on how to analyze and understand these and other essential problems in modern defense policy. Michael O'Hanlon provides undergraduate and graduate students with an accessible yet rigorous introduction to the subject. Drawing on a broad range of sources and his own considerable expertise as a defense analyst and teacher, he describes the analytic techniques the military uses in every crucial area of military science. O'Hanlon explains how the military budget works, how the military assesses and deploys new technology, develops strategy and fights wars, handles the logistics of stationing and moving troops and equipment around the world, and models and evaluates battlefield outcomes. His modeling techniques have been tested in Iraq and Afghanistan, including the methods he used to predict higher-than-anticipated troop fatalities in Iraq—controversial predictions that have since been vindicated. The Science of War is the definitive resource on warfare in the twenty-first century. Gives the best introduction to defense analysis available Covers defense budgeting Shows how to model and predict outcomes in war Explains military logistics, including overseas basing Examines key issues in military technology, including missile defense, space warfare, and nuclear-weapons testing Based on the author's graduate-level courses at Princeton, Columbia, and Georgetown universities
