The Cost of Iraq, Afghanistan, and Other Global War on Terror Operations Since 9/11

Abstract

With enactment of the FY2007 supplemental on May 25, 2007, Congress has approved a total of about $609 billion for military operations, base security, reconstruction, foreign aid, embassy costs, and veterans health care for the three operations initiated since the 9/11 attacks: Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) Afghanistan and other counter terror operations; Operation Noble Eagle (ONE), providing enhanced security at military bases; and Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF). The $609 billion total covers all war-related appropriations from FY2001 through enactment of the FY2007 Supplemental (H.R. 2206/P.L.110-28) that have been provided in supplementals, regular appropriations, and the FY2007 Year-Long Continuing Resolution (H.J.Res. 20/P.L.110-5). Of that total, CRS estimates that Iraq will receive about $448 billion (74%), OEF about $127 billion (21%), and enhanced base security about $28 billion (5%), with about $5 billion that CRS cannot allocate (1%). About 93% of the funds is for DOD, 7% for foreign aid programs and embassy operations, and less than 1% for medical care for veterans.
