There is good reason to believe that by adopting a scaled-back and more transformation-oriented defense plan the United States could avoid (or offset) much of the cost growth that is otherwise projected in DoD’s plans, by CBO and others, and still adequately meet its security requirements. However, so long as a large US military presence is required in Iraq or it is deemed necessary to maintain the capability to conduct such large-scale stability operations in the future, it will be difficult or impossible to make reductions in some programs and activities—especially in Army and Marine Corps force structure. 06/07/2007 CSBA Issues New Bioterror Report Press Release (PDF file - opens in new window) By Natalya Anfilofyeva CSBA releases new Report "Avoiding the Plague: an Assessment of U.S. Plans and Funding for Countering Bioterrorism" by Steven Kosiak 05/09/2007 Analyze US Earmarks, Forget Line-Item Veto Article-non CSBA pub (PDF file - opens in new window) By Pat Towell Like other folk remedies, the line-item veto President George W. Bush has reqested to curb congressional earmarks could foster a false sense of security while undermining the patient's well-being. Congress should adopt the proposal of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., requiring advance disclosure of the sponsorship, beneficiaries and cost implications of each earmark. The resulting publicity likely would weed out many of the more debatable earmarks. 04/03/2006 Analysis of the FY 2006 Defense Budget Request Report (PDF file - opens in new window) By Steven Kosiak An anlysis of the $441.8 billion request for national defense authority for fiscal year 2006, not including funds for Iraq and Afghanistan. 05/17/2005 FY 2006 Black Budget Estimates Table Update (PDF file - opens in new window) By Steven Kosiak A table of estimates of DOD classified acquisition budgets as a companion to FY06 Classified Funding in the Defense Budget Request. 03/28/2005 FY 2006 Black Budget Estimates Update (PDF file - opens in new window) By Steven Kosiak A review of estimated accounts for the Department of Defense classified budget request. 03/23/2005 FY 2006 Defense Budget Request: DOD Budget Remains on Upward Trajectory Update (PDF file - opens in new window) By Steven Kosiak An initial review of the administration's FY06 Defense Budget request. 02/04/2005 Funding for Defense, Military Operations, Homeland Security, and Related Activities since 9/11 Update (PDF file - opens in new window) By Steven Kosiak This piece provides an updated guide to spending on defense, homeland security and other activities above what would have been projected prior to the terrorist attacks of 9/11, some $513 billion. 10/18/2004 Final action on the FY 2005 Defense Appropriations Act Update (PDF file - opens in new window) By Steven Kosiak This update provides a brief summary of the conference agreement on the FY 2005 defense appropriations act.
