Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, CRS estimates that the Department of Defense (DOD) has received over $201 billion for combat operations, occupation, and support for military personnel deployed or supporting operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and for enhanced security at military installations, collectively called the "global war on terrorism." 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 U S Military Operations in Iraq written by Kate Phillips and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A colloquium on "U.S. Military Operations in Iraq: Planning, Combat, and Occupation" was held November 2, 2005, and was co-sponsored by SSI and Johns Hopkins' School of Advanced International Studies (SAIS). Three years beyond the start of that transition, the debate continues about the adequacy of planning for and proficiency of execution of Phase IV operations in Iraq and elsewhere. The debate most often surrounds three issues concerning this final operational phase: the relationship to preceding operational phases; responsibility for planning; and responsibility for execution. Much of the debate to this point has been an unproductive effort to assign blame for shortcomings in the planning for and execution of stability and reconstruction operations; participants in the colloquium moved beyond finding fault, began analyzing the central issues, and addressed solutions.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CRS estimates that Congress has appropriated a total of about $368 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) covering Afghanistan and other Global War on Terror (GWOT) operations, Operation Noble Eagle (ONE) providing enhanced security at military bases, and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF), Iraq. This total includes the $50 billion for war costs included in DOD's regular FY2006 appropriations -- but not the pending FY2006 War Supplemental or the $50 billion placeholder' figure included in the FY2007 budget. DOD has not provided Congress with the costs of these three operations. Of the $368 billion appropriated so far, CRS estimates that Iraq will receive about $261 billion (71%), OEF $77 billion (21%), and enhanced base security about $26 (7%) billion, with about $4 billion that cannot be allocated based on available information. About 90% of these funds are for DOD and about 9% for foreign aid programs and embassy operations, and less than 1% for medical care for veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan. If Congress approves the additional $71 billion requested in the FY2006 Supplemental (H.R. 4939) for Iraq and ...

Download or read book Estimated Costs of Continuing Operations in Iraq and Other Operations of the Global War on Terrorism written by and published by . This book was released on 2004 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the request of Senator Conrad, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) has estimated the costs of military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and other operations associated with the global war on terrorism (GWOT) for fiscal year 2005. CBO has also projected the potential 10-year costs of such operations under three scenarios that the Senator specified. Assuming that the force level and pace of operations associated with the occupation of Iraq and other GWOT operations will remain at current levels throughout fiscal year 2005, CBO estimates that the Department of Defense (DoD) will likely require $55 billion to $60 billion in new budget authority to carry out those operations. If the disposition of forces or pace of operations were to differ from the assumed levels, the cost of operations would, of course, change accordingly. That estimate encompasses the costs Operation Iraqi Freedom, Operation Noble Eagle, and Operation Enduring Freedom. It includes only the costs that DoD would incur above amounts budgeted for routine military operations, and does not include the costs for reconstruction activities carried out by DoD or other U.S. government agencies.

This book was released on 2009-08 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From fiscal year 2001 through July 2008, Congress provided more than $808 billion to the Department of Defense (DoD) for the Global War on Terrorism, including military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Moreover, since fiscal year 2003, about $49 billion has been provided to U.S. agencies for reconstruction and stabilization in Iraq and $32 billion for similar efforts in Afghanistan since fiscal year 2002. In February 2009, President Obama announced a new U.S. strategy for Iraq and plans to develop a new comprehensive strategy for Afghanistan. This statement is based on an extensive body of work examining U.S. efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Illustrations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks, CRS estimates that the Administration has allocated a total of about $361 billion for military operations, reconstruction, embassy costs, and various foreign aid programs in Iraq and Afghanistan, and for enhanced security at defense bases. This total includes $50 billion in "bridge" funding for the Department of Defense (DOD) provided in H.J.Res. 68 /P.L.109-77, a FY2006 Continuing Resolution, which was signed by the President on September 30, 2005. More funds will be needed by DOD to cover the rest of the year. That total includes some $330 billion for DOD and $31 billion for foreign aid programs and embassy operations. If the bridge funds are split in a fashion similar to FY2005, funding would total about $255 billion for Iraq, about $83 billion for Afghanistan, and $24 billion for base security. Iraq's total is split between $230 billion for DOD and $25 billion for foreign operations. Afghanistan's total includes $77 billion for DOD and $6 billion for foreign operations. All base security funds go to DOD. Based on a CBO estimate that assumes a gradual drawdown in U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan between FY2006 and FY2010, war-related costs could total about $570 billion by ...

Download or read book The Three Trillion Dollar War The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict written by Linda J. Bilmes and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2008-02-17 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The true cost of the Iraq War is $3 trillion—and counting—rather than the $50 billion projected by the White House. Apart from its tragic human toll, the Iraq War will be staggeringly expensive in financial terms. This sobering study by Nobel Prize winner Joseph E. Stiglitz and Harvard professor Linda J. Bilmes casts a spotlight on expense items that have been hidden from the U.S. taxpayer, including not only big-ticket items like replacing military equipment (being used up at six times the peacetime rate) but also the cost of caring for thousands of wounded veterans—for the rest of their lives. Shifting to a global focus, the authors investigate the cost in lives and economic damage within Iraq and the region. Finally, with the chilling precision of an actuary, the authors measure what the U.S. taxpayer's money would have produced if instead it had been invested in the further growth of the U.S. economy. Written in language as simple as the details are disturbing, this book will forever change the way we think about the war.

That includes $25 billion to cover some of DOD's FY2005 costs. On January 25, 2005, the White House announced it would request $80 billion more for 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 in 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. While the Defense Department has provided various data to the Congress, it has not given Congress a full allocation of funding for Iraq, Afghanistan, and enhanced security. Based on data from DOD, CRS estimates that DOD expected to spend about $100 billion for Iraq, $50 billion for Afghanistan, and $23 billion for enhanced security through the end of FY2004. Between FY2002 and FY2005, Congress appropriated about $27 billion to other agencies for reconstruction and embassy operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. With those costs, total funding would be about $148 billion for Iraq and $58 billion for Afghanistan as of the end of the 108th Congress. If Congress approves the $75 billion requested and if the cost for Afghanistan remains steady, CRS estimates that DOD's contractual costs could total about $192 billion for Iraq, about $58 billion for Afghanistan, and about $20 billion for enhanced security by the end of FY2005.

Download or read book The Reconstruction of Iraq after 2003 written by Hideki Matsunaga and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2019-05-20 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning in 2003, diverse and significant actors, both domestic and international, engaged in reconstruction activities in Iraq. The total budget committed to Iraq’s reconstruction was unprecedented among postconflict operations mobilized by the international community. Despite the vast sums of money spent, and the implementation of its many projects and programs, the donors and the Iraqi people view the reconstruction efforts in Iraq in a negative light. The Reconstruction of Iraq after 2003: Learning from Its Successes and Failures focuses on the period between 2003 and 2014—that is, after the United States†“led invasion and overthrow of the Saddam Hussein regime, and before the sudden rise of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), also known as Daesh. This book assesses several dimensions of Iraq’s reconstruction. First, it considers the response of key international actors, such as the United Nations, the World Bank, the United States, and other bilateral donors—specifically, the European Union, Japan, and the United Kingdom—as well as nongovernmental organizations. Second, it analyzes the process and results of the reconstruction of key sectors (electricity, oil, education, and health), and the interventions geared to institution building and governance reform. Pursuing effective reconstruction within the context of conflict and fragility is a formidable challenge because of the uncertain, fluid, and complex environment. Based on the experience in Iraq, how can the international community support the effectiveness and durability of reconstruction? This book identifies lessons in seven areas and offers four recommendations for international and domestic actors and citizens engaged in reconstruction activities. The Reconstruction of Iraq after 2003 is important reading for development practitioners and policy makers who are or will be engaged in reconstruction efforts in fragile and conflict-affected environments.
