THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, November 10, 2014. 

Hon. JOHN BOEHNER, 

Speaker of the House of Representatives, 

Washington, DC. 

DEAR MR. SPEAKER: I ask the Congress to consider the enclosed 

Fiscal Year (FY) 2015 Budget amendments for the Department of 

Defense (DOD) and the Department of State and Other International Programs (State/OIP) to fund Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO). These amendments would provide $5.6 billion for 

OCO activities to degrade and ultimately defeat the Islamic State 

of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL)—including military operations as 

part of Operation Inherent Resolve. 

Accordingly, this request would provide $5.0 billion for DOD 

OCO activities in addition to the $58.6 billion DOD OCO request 

I submitted to the Congress in June 2014, and would result in a 

total DOD OCO request for FY 2015 of $63.6 billion. This amount 

is $15.8 billion less than the $79.4 billion placeholder for DOD 

OCO in the FY 2015 Budget. The request would also provide $520 

million for State/OIP OCO activities, which is in addition to the 

$7.3 billion I requested for state/OIP OCO activities in the FY 2015 

Budget and the June budget amendment. 

The approach to counter ISIL has evolved with emerging requirements identified subsequent to the June OCO amendment, and 

therefore not previously requested. These amendments include the 

additional funding necessary to degrade and ultimately defeat ISIL 

through a comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy. 

The details of these amendments are set forth in the enclosed letter from the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. 

Sincerely, 

BARACK OBAMA. 

Enclosure.

[Estimate No. 5, 113th Congress, 2nd Session] 

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, 

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET, 

Washington, DC, November 10, 2014. 

THE PRESIDENT, 

The White House. 

Submitted for your consideration are amendments to your Fiscal 

Year (FY) 2015 Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) request 

for the Department of Defense (DOD) and the Department of State 

and Other International Programs (State/OIP). The purpose of 

these amendments is to provide the resources needed to support 

your comprehensive strategy to degrade, and ultimately defeat, the 

Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), including military operations associated with Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR). 

Our approach to counter ISIL, including OIR, has evolved with 

emerging requirements and additional funding needs identified 

subsequent to the FY 2015 OCO request submitted to the Congress 

in June. This package submits for your consideration an additional 

$5.0 billion for DOD OCO funding (for an FY 2015 total of $63.6 

billion), as well as an increase of $520 million for State/OIP OCO 

funding (for an FY 2015 total of $7.8 billion). Overall, these amendments result in a total FY 2015 OCO request of $71.4 billion, which 

is $14.0 billion less than the sum of the OCO placeholder for DOD 

and the OCO request for State/OIP in the FY 2015 Budget. 

ISIL poses an immediate threat to Iraq, Syria, and American allies and partners throughout the region as it seeks to overthrow 

governments, control territory, terrorize local populations, and implement an oppressive and intolerant interpretation of sharia law. 

If left unchecked, ISIL could pose a growing threat to the United 

States and others beyond the region. Thousands of foreign fighters—including Europeans and some Americans—have joined ISIL 

in Syria and Iraq. We are concerned that these trained and battlehardened fighters will try to return to their home countries and 

carry out deadly attacks. At the same time, ISIL is attempting to 

assert itself as the leader of the global jihad. ISIL remains wellresourced and has demonstrated an ability to recruit and radicalize 

through social media. Funding in this amendment will provide resources to support your comprehensive strategy during FY 2015. 

In support of OIR, these amendments request funding for DOD 

to conduct a range of military operations against ISIL in the Middle East region, including for items such as: 

• sustaining personnel forward deployed to the Middle East 

to provide training, advice, and assistance to partner security 

forces engaged in the fight against ISIL; 

• providing forces with enablers to support operations, especially the intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) 

platforms and support that are essential to conduct comprehensive counterterrorism operations; 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with HEARING
3 

• replenishing or replacing munitions expended while conducting airstrikes against ISIL, including from Air Force and 

Navy platforms; and • financing operations and maintenance costs for air, 

ground, and naval operations, including: flying hours; ship 

steaming days; and fuel, supplies, and repair parts. The request includes $1.6 billion to establish the Iraq Train and 

Equip Fund (ITEF). ITEF would provide DOD, working with our 

coalition partners, the resources and authorities to develop and 

support Iraqi national security forces, including Kurdish forces, as 

they confront ISIL in Iraq. Our advisors are working to train and 

advise Iraqi forces, including Kurdish forces, to improve their ability to plan, lead and conduct operations against ISIL. ITEF will 

provide the resources to help reconstitute and develop security 

forces. This combination of operational advising and support and 

force development will be a critical step in our effort to degrade 

and ultimately defeat ISIL in Iraq and ultimately the entire region. 

ITEF will complement other efforts to enable partners to counter 

terrorism, such as the Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund you requested in your June 2014 OCO request. The proposed OCO funding is additive to the $58.6 billion DOD 

request you sent to the Congress in June 2014, which included the 

costs of operations in Afghanistan, DOD’s strong forward military 

presence in the broader Middle East region, and other critical missions. The costs of military operations against ISIL in the Middle 

East region were not included in the June 2014 request, and the 

Department requires additional funding to fulfill your counter-ISIL 

strategy in order to avoid diverting funding from other key priorities within its budget. These amendments also include $520 million in funding for State/OIP, which is additive to the $7.3 billion total OCO request 

for State/OIP in the FY 2015 Budget and June OCO amendment 

including CTPF. The existing request provides funding for diplomacy, governance, and security programs and activities to respond 

to the situation in Syria and other ongoing global crises. Amendments include additional resources to counter ISIL in Iraq, Syria, 

and the rest of the region. The funds will support the following activities: 

• bolstering regional partners and their efforts to address 

extremist threats along their borders; 

• expanding ongoing assistance to the moderate Syrian opposition to develop their capacity to provide local security for 

their communities; 

• providing assistance to meet emergency humanitarian 

needs in Iraq; and 

• exposing ISIL’s bankrupt ideology and narrative by amplifying positive messaging through international media and public diplomacy programs.

Recommendation 

I reviewed these amendments and am satisfied that they are necessary at this time. Therefore, I join the Secretary of Defense and 

the Secretary of State in recommending that you transmit the 

amendments to the Congress.

SHAUN DONOVAN, 

Director.

For the ‘‘Iraq Train and Equip Fund’’, $1,618,000,000, to remain 

available until September 30, 2017: 

Provided, That such funds shall be available to the Secretary of 

Defense, with concurrence from the Secretary of State, to provide assistance to military and other security forces of, or associated with, 

the Government of Iraq, including Kurdish and tribal security 

forces, with a national security mission, to counter the Islamic State 

in Iraq and the Levant, including the provision of equipment, supplies, services, training, facility and infrastructure repair, renovation, construction, and stipends: 

Provided further, That the authority to provide assistance under 

this heading is in addition to any other authority to provide assistance: 

Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense may waive any 

other provision of law that would otherwise prohibit, restrict, limit, 

or otherwise constrain the obligation or expenditure of funds for the 

purposes provided herein: 

Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense may accept and 

retain contributions, including assistance in-kind, from foreign governments, including the Government of Iraq, and other entities, to 

carry out assistance authorized under this heading: 

Provided further, That contributions of funds for the purposes 

provided herein from any foreign government, including the Government of Iraq, and other entities may be credited to this Fund, to remain available until expended, and used for such purposes: 

Provided further, That of the amount provided under this heading, not more than 60 percent may be obligated to provide assistance under this heading to military and other security forces of, or 

associated with, the Government of Iraq, including Kurdish and 

tribal security forces, until foreign governments, including the Government of Iraq, and other entities expend or contribute funds for 

those forces, or provide in-kind support for those forces, with a total 

value, as determined from October 1, 2014, by the Secretary of Defense, of not less than 40 percent of the amount provided under this 

heading, of which at least 50 percent shall have been contributed or 

provided by the Government of Iraq: 

Provided further, That the limitation in the preceding proviso 

shall not apply (1) to the provision of any supply or equipment that 


emcdonald on DSK67QTVN1PROD with HEARING
16 

is an item of significant military equipment (as such term is defined 

in section 47(9) of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2794(9))) 

or is included on the United States Munitions List, as designated 

pursuant to section 38(a)(1) of the Arms Export Control Act (22 

U.S.C. 2778(a)(1)); or (2) in circumstances where the Secretary of 

Defense determines, in writing, that the national security objectives 

of the United States will be compromised by the application of the 

limitation to such assistance: 

Provided further, That the Secretary of Defense shall, not fewer 

than 5 days prior to obligating more than 60 percent of funds pursuant to the previous proviso, notify the congressional defense committees in writing of the details of the proposed obligation: 

Provided further, That the preceding proviso shall not apply to an 

obligation of funds if the Secretary of Defense determines that the 

national security objectives of the United States will be compromised by the application of the proviso, in which case the Secretary of Defense shall immediately notify the congressional defense 

committees that such obligation is necessary and provide any relevant information (in classified form, if necessary): 

Provided further, That amounts made available under this heading are designated by the Congress for Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A) of 

the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985, as 

amended: 

Provided further, That amounts provided under this heading 

shall be available only if the President designates such amounts for 

Overseas Contingency Operations/Global War on Terrorism pursuant to section 251(b)(2)(A). 

This amendment would provide $1.6 billion for assistance to military and other security forces of, or associated with, the Government of Iraq (GoI), including Kurdish and tribal security forces, 

with a national security mission to counter ISIL. The authority includes the provision of equipment, supplies, services, training, facility and infrastructure repair, renovation, construction, and stipends. Of note, the proposal for this authority also includes provisions to ensure Iraqi contributions to this effort, since Iraqi partnership is critical to this effort. Specifically, the Iraqi Train and 

Equip Fund (ITEF) addresses the requirement to build the Iraqi 

military, other security forces, and Peshmerga proficiency; and to 

provide material support to tribal elements allied with Iraqi forces. 

The GoI will be required to contribute to the cost burden, including 

items such as site operations, life support of its forces, and other 

costs; coalition partners will contribute personnel and support for 

this effort. 

Key principals of the ITEF are that (1) the GoI is in the lead and 

will share the cost burden, (2) U.S. assistance levels are limited 

and are focused on bridging the most critical near-term capabilities 

consistent with the campaign plan, and (3) coalition participation 

and support will be actively sought for both personnel and financial 

support.
