Defense: FY2010 Authorization and Appropriations

Abstract

On February 26, 2009, the Administration released the broad outlines of its federal budget request for FY2010, listing for each Cabinet department and for several independent agencies the total discretionary budget authority President Obama would request, but providing no additional details. Full details of the request were made public May 7, 2009. For the Department of Defense (DOD) in FY2010, the Administration requested a total of $663.8 billion in discretionary budget authority. This includes $533.8 billion for the so-called "base budget"-all DOD activities other than combat operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and associated activities-and $130.0 billion for what are termed "overseas contingency operations," including those in Iraq and Afghanistan. The Administration also requested $75.9 billion in supplemental DOD appropriations for FY2009 to cover war costs. Combined with the $65.9 billion "bridge fund" for FY2009 emergency war funding included in the Supplemental Appropriations Act for FY2008 (P.L. 110- 252), this would bring the total appropriated for FY2009 war costs to $141.8 billion.
