Few Surprises in the FY 2011 Defense Budget Request
02/01/2010
Looking Ahead to the FY 2011 Defense Budget

Estimating Funding for Afghanistan
12/01/2009 The deployment of additional troops to Afghanistan over the coming months will require additional funding in Fiscal Year 2010 (FY10). It is difficult to precisely estimate the cost that will be incurred by the deployment due to a variety of factors including the composition of the forces deployed and the specific mission they are given. The adversary also has a say in determining the operational tempo of our forces, and thus the costs incurred in terms of such items as fuel, ammunition, and equipment. Still, historical trends in the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan can provide a useful guide for making such an estimate.

Analysis of the Defense BudgetFew Surprises in the FY 2011 Defense Budget Request February 2010 The Obama Administration’s defense budget request for FY 2011 totals $549 billion in discretionary funding for the peacetime costs of the Department of Defense (DoD) and $4 billion in mandatory funding. In addition to the “base” budget, the administration also requests $159 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) and $26 billion for national defense activities in the Department of Energy and other agencies. Altogether, the total national defense budget request is $739 billion for FY 2011. The budget also includes a supplemental request for $33 billion in additional funding for Overseas Contingency Operations for the remainder of FY 2010. This request increases the base defense budget by 3.4 percent in nominal terms over the $531 billion appropriated by Congress for FY 2010, or 1.8 percent in real terms using the DoD adjustment for inflation and 2.3 percent using the GDP Price Index for inflation. Including the supplemental request for additional war funding in FY 2010, the cost of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan will actually decline slightly from $163 billion in FY 2010 to $159 billion in FY 2011. Operations and Maintenance and Procurement are the fastest growing accounts in the budget this year. RDT&E funding declines, although if historical trends hold true Congress will add roughly 5 percent to what the administration is requesting for this account. The precipitous decline in military construction funding was expected with the winding down of the 2005 Base Realignment and Closure (BRAC) process in this year’s budget.
