The Long-Term Implications of Current Defense Plans and Alternatives: Summary Update for Fiscal Year 2006
Abstract
What level of budgetary resources might be needed in the long term to execute the Administration's current plans for defense, and what effect on that level would alternative defense plans have? This Congressional Budget Office (CBO) paper addresses those questions. Prepared at the request of the Chairman of the Senate Budget Committee, it updates the resource projections contained in CBO's September 2004 paper The Long-Term Implications of Current Defense Plans: Summary Update for Fiscal Year 2005 to reflect the changes that the Administration has made to its defense plans in preparing the President's budget request for fiscal year 2006. In addition, this paper includes two alternative scenarios that could reduce the level of defense resources required during the 2012-2024 projection period. CBO will also publish supplementary data on its Web site that provide more details about specific programs. In keeping with CBO's mandate to provide impartial analysis, this paper and the supplementary materials make no recommendations.
