Budget Request Begins Shift Toward Balanced Defense Posture
05/07/2009 Today’s release of the Obama Administration’s FY 2010 budget request signals a new direction for the Department of Defense. While the top-line budget figures and many of the programmatic decisions have already been released, the detailed budget unveiled today provides some clues as to how the new administration plans to remake the Defense Department. It begins the process of rebalancing the DoD’s portfolio of programs and activities to align them better with the national defense strategy.
Gates Submits Reform Budget for FY2010
05/07/2009 Secretary Gates termed the FY 2010 defense budget a “reform budget.” With today’s release of the detailed budget request, we begin to see what shape that reform will take and where he intends to lead the Department. This budget is a departure from the previous administration’s budgets.
Assessment of Secretary Gates' Decisions with CSBA's Defense Program Outlined in the "Strategy for the Long Haul"
04/10/2009 On April 6, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates announced substantial changes to the defense program that bring it more in line with CSBA’s "Strategy for the Long Haul” series of monographs. The reports are the culmination of over two years of research and analysis by CSBA, and assess existing and emerging challenges to US security, defense resources, the military services and their programs, America’s alliance structure, and strategy.

Analysis of Proposals to Allocate Four Percent of GDP to Defense
09/09/2008 Although proponents of the “four percent solution” have sometimes been imprecise in terms of exactly what they are proposing, many proposals appear to call for spending at least four percent of GDP on defense exclusive of war costs. This analysis offers a brief assessment of the logic and wisdom of adopting such an approach.

Classified Funding in the FY 2009 Defense Budget Request
06/18/2008
Analysis of the FY 2009 Defense Budget Request
04/21/2008 There is considerable uncertainty concerning the amount of funding needed to cover the cost of the ongoing military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is similarly unclear how much funding would be needed to fully implement the Services’ long-term force structure, readiness and modernization plans. However, because of cost growth in weapons acquisition programs, as well as military personnel and operations and maintenance (O&M) activities, it is likely that implementing those plans would require spending substantially more on defense than proposed by the administration. Moreover, because of changing demographics, rising health care costs and other factors it may prove difficult to sustain such high defense spending levels.

FY 2009 Request
02/04/2008 FY 2009 Request Would Bring DoD Budget to Record (or Near-Record) Levels
Analysis of the FY 2008 Defense Budget Request
06/07/2007 in coming years pressure will grow for DoD to scale back its plans, including both major modernization efforts (e.g., the F-35, FCS and DDG 1000 programs) and force structure plans. 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.

Both DoD Base and War Budgets Receive Big Boosts
02/05/2007 The Bush Administration today announced that it will request some $483 billion to cover the peacetime costs of Department of Defense (DoD) in fiscal year (FY) 2008.1 In addition to this funding in DoD’s “base” budget, the administration’s latest plan includes a request for $141.7 billion to cover the FY 2008 costs of the Global War on Terror (GWOT), including military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. Thus, altogether, under the new plan DoD is projected to receive some $624.6 billion in FY 2008.
