Cost of Military Operations AfghanistanIn 2001, the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments (CSBA) estimated that the US military campaign against Taliban and al Qaeda forces in Afghanistan had cost some $400 million to $800 million in its first 25 days (October 7-31). It was predicted that if operations continued at roughly the same tempo and with roughly the same forces, the Department of Defense (DoD) was to incur additional costs of some $500 million to $1 billion a month for the duration of the operation. Estimating the costs of military operations is an inherently difficult and uncertain task. It is made even more difficult in this case because the operation is ongoing and because DoD has so far provided fewer details concerning this campaign than it did during some past military operations (such as the 1991 Gulf War and the 1999 war in Kosovo). In estimating the cost of Operation Enduring Freedom, CSBA used two methodologies. The first is a top-down approach based on US experience during the 1991 Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm) and the 1999 War in Kosovo (Operation Allied Force). The second relies on a bottom-up methodology and defines costs more narrowly. |
