Description

In most years, the Dept. of Defense (DoD) provides a five-year plan, called the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP), associated with the budget that it submits to the Congress. Because decisions made in the near term can have consequences for the defense budget well beyond that period, the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) regularly examines DoDäó»s FYDP and projects its budgetary impact roughly a decade beyond the period covered by the FYDP. This analysis used the FYDP that DoD provided to the Congress in April 2013; that FYDP spans FY 2014 to 2018, and CBOäó»s projections span the years 2014 to 2028. For FY 2014, DoD requested appropriations totaling $607 billion. Of that amount, $527 billion was to fund the äóìbaseäó programs that constitute the departmentäó»s normal activities, such as the development and procurement of weapon systems and the day-to-day operations of the military and civilian workforce. The remaining $79 billion was requested to pay for what are termed overseas contingency operations (OCO) äóî the war in Afghanistan and other nonroutine military activities elsewhere.
