The Honorable John R. Kasich

Chairman, Committee on the Budget

House of Representatives

Dear Mr. Chairman:

The Department of Defense’s (DOD) Future Years Defense Program

(FYDP) is the official document that summarizes the force levels and

funding associated with specific programs that the Secretary of Defense

would like to see approved by Congress. The FYDP presents estimated

appropriation needs for the budget year for which funds are being

requested from Congress and at least the 4 years following it. The fiscal

year 2000 FYDP requested $1,434 billion total funding for fiscal years

2001-2005, whereas the fiscal year 2001 FYDP requests $1,450 billion total

funding for the same 5-year period.1 As requested, we compared the

planned funding levels for the common years of the fiscal year 2000 and

fiscal year 2001 FYDP requests.

The FYDP reflects decisions made in the DOD Planning, Programming, and

Budgeting System, which is intended to produce the best possible mixture

of forces, equipment, and support to accomplish DOD’s mission. The 2000

FYDP supported the President’s 2000 budget and included budget estimates

for 2000-2005. The 2001 FYDP supports the President’s 2001 budget and

includes budget estimates for 2001-2005.

Results in Brief In constant dollars, there are only minor increases in the projected year-toyear funding totals over the common 5-year period, 2001-2005, from the

2000 FYDP to the 2001 FYDP. DOD plans to increase total funding over the

5-year period by $15.8 billion, or 1.1 percent, over the total funding

projected in the 2000 FYDP. Table 1 compares the two plans, by primary

appropriation category.

1 Unless otherwise stated, the years and dollars shown in this report are on a fiscal year

basis and in constant fiscal year 2001 dollars.

Although total programmed funds for military personnel remain virtually

the same in this year’s FYDP as in last year’s FYDP, programmed personnel

funds for Army and Air Force active forces decline, whereas programmed

funds for other forces increase. The largest funding increase in the

operation and maintenance accounts is $9.7 billion, which is programmed

for overseas contingencies. While DOD’s programmed procurement

spending remains above the $60-billion threshold recommended by the last

Quadrennial Defense Review in 1997,2 the 2001 FYDP projects a $3.2-billion

decrease, or 1 percent, from last year’s FYDP projections. Research,

development, test, and evaluation is programmed to receive the largest

appropriation increase ($15.9 billion, or 9.6 percent) and, within this

category, the defensewide account is programmed to receive the largest

increase ($8.3 billion). The total reduction in military construction funds

would be greater than the $2.2 billion shown in table 1 were it not for

$1.9 billion of new funds in the 2001 FYDP for a base realignment and

closure round in 2003. DOD reviewed a draft of this report and stated that

the funding data are accurate.

Programmed

Personnel Funds for

Army and Air Force

Active Forces Decline

Whereas Programmed

Funds for Other Forces

Increase

The military personnel appropriation includes funds for such items as

active and reserve component pay and allowances, retirement

contributions, and permanent change of station travel. As table 2 shows,

total programmed funds for military personnel remain virtually the same in

this year’s FYDP as in last year’s FYDP. However, programmed personnel

funds for Army and Air Force active forces decline whereas programmed

funds for other forces increase. Active Army and Air Force military

personnel accounts show decreases of $2.2 billion and $0.5 billion,

respectively. All other personnel accounts in the 2001 FYDP are projected

to increase over the projections shown in the 2000 FYDP. Projected savings

from planned reduction in reserve componentpersonnel are shown in the

Reserve component personnel, Army account.

2 The Review, an examination of America’s defense needs from 1997 to 2015, attempted to

achieve a better balance in DOD’s financial plans to meet its military forces’ current

requirements and address long-term modernization needs.

Overseas Contingency

Operations Transfer

Fund Projected to

Receive Largest

Operation and

Maintenance Increase

The operation and maintenance (O&M) appropriation includes funds for

such items as civilian personnel management and pay and benefits;

transportation; health and child care; troop training; and maintenance of

tanks, airplanes, ships, and related equipment. As table 3 shows, O&M

funds programmed in the 2001 FYDP show a total increase of about

$8.5 billion, or 1.6 percent, from the funds programmed in the 2000 FYDP.

The largest increase, $9.7 billion, is planned for the Overseas Contingency

Operations Transfer Fund.3 Other large increases are planned for the Navy

($2.6 billion), the Defense Health Program ($615 million), the Air National

Guard ($534 million), and the Army National Guard ($490 million). The

biggest decreases are planned for the Army and the Air Force, $3.8 and

$2.4 billion, respectively.

3 In the DOD Appropriations Act of 1997 (P.L. 104-208), Congress established the Overseas

Contingency Operations Transfer Fund to pay for ongoing contingency operations.

Congress appropriates money to the Fund. As an operation unfolds during the year, DOD

can transfer money directly from the Fund to the military services’ O&M accounts.

Research,

Development, Test, and

Evaluation Projected

to Receive Largest

Appropriation Increase

The research, development, test, and evaluation (RDT&E) appropriation

includes funds for the development and testing of weapons and equipment,

development of prototypes, support of basic research, and exploratory

development of technologies with potential military applications. As table 5

shows, RDT&E total planned funds in the 2001 FYDP are $15.9 billion, or

9.6 percent, greater than the projected funds in the 2000 FYDP. The largest

increase, $8.3 billion, is programmed for the defensewide account. In

addition, all of the military services project increases in their accounts in

excess of $2 billion.

Decrease in Projected

Military Construction

Funds Would Be

Greater Without New

Funds for Base

Closures

The military construction appropriation includes funds to acquire,

construct, and furnish installations and facilities and perform major repairs

of facilities. As table 6 shows, DOD’s total projected military construction

funds in the 2001 FYDP are $2.2 billion lower than that projected in the

2000 FYDP. All of the military construction accounts, except for two base

realignment and closure accounts, show a decrease in funds. The total

reduction in military construction funds would be greater than the

$2.2 billion were it not for $1.9 billion of new funds in the 2001 FYDP for a

base realignment and closure round in 2003. The largest decreases occur in

the military construction, defensewide account ($1.6 billion); the active Air

Force account ($947 million); the base realignment and closure accounts,

environmental restoration ($944 million); and the active Navy account

($593 million). DOD is requesting congressional approval for two

additional base realignment and closure rounds in 2003 and 2005. The 2001

Projected Family

Housing Funds in 2001

FYDP Are Slightly

Greater Than Last

Year’s Projection

The family housing appropriation includes funds for the construction,

improvement, operations, maintenance, and leasing of military family

housing. As shown in table 7, total funds for family housing in the 2001

FYDP show only a slight increase of $242 million, or 1.3 percent, from the

2000 FYDP request. The Army’s and the Navy’s programs project increases

of over $500 million each, while the Air Force projects a $296-million

decrease.

Agency Comments In oral comments on a draft of this report, the Director, Programming and

Fiscal Economics, Program Analysis and Evalution, Office of the Secretary

of Defense, said that the funding data presented in the report are accurate.

Scope and

Methodology

To compare the two FYDPs, we analyzed funding data from the 2000 and

2001 FYDPs for fiscal years 2001-2005. We adjusted the current dollars to

constant 2001 dollars using appropriate DOD Comptroller inflation

indexes. We did not test DOD’s management controls of the FYDP data or

verify the data contained in either the 2000 or the 2001 FYDP. However, we

compared DOD’s automated FYDP data with published documents DOD

provided. Specifically, we compared total budget estimates, appropriation

totals, military and civilian personnel levels, force structure levels, and

some specific program information. Based on our comparison, we were

satisfied that the automated FYDP data and published data were in

agreement. We did not analyze the reasons for the changes in planned

funding because we plan to discuss those reasons, together with the risks

that may prevent the 2001 FYDP from being implemented as planned, in a

report to be issued later this year.

Our review was conducted from March through May 2000 in accordance

with generally accepted government auditing standards.
