Analysis of theFY 2015 Defense Budget Todd Harrison
Strategy-Resource Mismatch • DoD could need some $200-300B more than BCA caps over the FYDP to execute the defense program in the 2014 QDR • FY 2015 budget already $116B over the BCA caps • Would need additional ~$20B for higher force levels in QDR • May need $50-100B for OCO-to-base migration • Other assumptions in the request that may not come true: • Savings from military compensation reform • “Efficiency” savings • Acquisition cost growth • O&M cost growth
Military Personnel-Related Total: $183B
