Defense Infrastructure: Budget Estimates for 1996-2001 Offer Little Savings for Modernization

Abstract

An objective of DOD'S 1993 Report on the Bottom-Up Review was to identify potential infrastructure savings and to launch a long-term process to reduce and streamline DOD'S infrastructure without harming readiness. The report stated that infrastructure activities accounted for $160 billion in fiscal year 1994, or about 60 percent of DOD'S total obligational authority. It defined infrastructure as all DOD activities other than those directly associated with operational forces, intelligence, strategic defense, and applied research and development and identified seven infrastructure categories. The categories were logistics, medical, personnel, tralning, acquisition management, installation support, and force management The FYDP is an authoritative record of current and projected force structure, costs, and personnel levels that have been approved by the Secretary of Defense. The %p displays the allocation of resources by programs and activities known as program elements. There are about 2,600 program elements in DOD'S fiscal year 1996 FYDP, which covers fiscal years 1996-2001.
