Here's a breakdown of the 2012 DoD Appropriations Bill. I welcome anyone to explicitly point out where they'd cut the $48-$98 billion sought. Much like LA Times' budget calculator dealing with CA's massive shortfall previously, most everyone will find different answers to the same problem.
- Do you aim for $48bill, $98bill or somewhere inbetween?
- Do you cut Operations and Infrastructure?
- Do you cut Procurement, R&D and classified programs?
- Do you fire large numbers of personnel or cut pay/benefits?
2012 DoD Total = $662 billion
Operations and Maintainence = $248,761,739,000
This includes war and policy spending, maintaining all equipment and bases, and R&D facilities, management and operational development, but not programs.
$89,159,616,000 = Army
$61,510,210,000 = AirForce
$50,194,136,000 = Navy
$9,778,174,000 = Marines
$26,919,603,000 = DoD wide
$11,200,000,000 = Afghan Fund
Military Pay = $186,745,541,000
$153,668,794,000 = Salaries
$33,076,747,000 = Healthcare
Procurement = $99,438,023,000
Everything from bullets to battleships and blankets.
$23,830,277,000 = Army
$22,161,837,000 = AirForce
$43,490,931,000 = Navy
$2,543,960,000 = Marines
$7,411,018,000 = DoD wide
Classified and R&D = $94,291,836,000
I separated classified out from Operations and Procurement budgets and added aspects of the R&D budget directly attributed to programs while listing facilities above.
$6,010,670,000 = Army
$39,028,663,000 = AirForce
$14,399,919,000 = Navy
$1,606,000 = Marines
$34,850,978,000 = DoD wide
**Disclaimer - Add all those up and it comes to about $629bill. I roughly tallied up the remaining programs like construction, drug ops, nuclear arsenal and a few other and it came to an additional $39bill. Since the budget states $662bill authorized, either myself or the budget (likely me) is off by $6bill somewhere. Your welcome to take a look yourself, starting on page 421 in the link, or just roll with a very close approximation - aka Good enough for government work.
