Description

To provide information about its plans beyond the coming year, the Dept. of Defense (DOD) develops a five-year plan, called the Future Years Defense Program (FYDP), that is associated with the budget it submits to the Congress. This analysis uses the FYDP provided to the Congress in April 2014; it spans FY 2015 to FY 2019, and its projections span the years 2015 to 2030. For FY 2015, DOD requested appropriations totaling $555 billion. Of that amount, $496 billion is for the base budget -- programs that constitute DODäó»s normal activities -- and $59 billion is for overseas contingency operations (OCO) -- U.S. involvement in the war in Afghanistan and other nonroutine military activities elsewhere. The FYDP describes DODäó»s plans for its normal activities and therefore generally corresponds to the base budget. DODäó»s 2015 plans differ from its 2014 plans in important ways, such as cost reductions due to sizable cuts in the number of military personnel, particularly in the Army. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
