THE WHITE HOUSE, 

Washington, June 26, 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 $58.6 billion for 

DOD OCO activities, which is $20.9 billion less than the $79.4 billion placeholder for DOD OCO in the FY 2015 Budget. It would 

also provide $1.4 billion for State/OIP OCO activities, which is in 

addition to the $5.9 billion for State/OIP included in the FY 2015 

Budget. Overall, these amendments would decrease the total OCO 

funding requested for FY 2015 by $19.5 billion. 

Final decisions about the number and activities of U.S. forces in 

Afghanistan after December 2014 had not yet been made at the 

time the FY 2015 Budget was submitted. As a result, the Budget 

included a placeholder for DOD FY 2015 OCO funding equivalent 

to the amount requested in the FY 2014 Budget. The Administration noted in the FY 2015 Budget that after determining required 

force levels in Afghanistan, a Budget amendment updating the 

OCO request would be submitted to the Congress. The enclosed 

amendments include the necessary updates to the OCO request in 

order to fund military operations in Afghanistan, a significant portion of the U.S. military presence around the Middle East, the Administration’s proposed Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund and 

European Reassurance Initiative, and State/OIP peacekeeping costs 

in the Central African Republic. 

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

Budget. 

Sincerely, 

BARACK OBAMA.

[Estimate No. 2, 113th Cong., 2d Session] 

EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT, 

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND BUDGET, 

Washington, DC, June 26, 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). Military operations 

in Afghanistan, as well as activities that support Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF), related follow-on activities, and other critical 

missions in the region, constitute the majority of the DOD OCO request. The request also includes funding for both DOD and State/ 

OIP to implement the Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund (CTPF) 

and the European Reassurance Initiative (ERI), and additional 

funding for State/OIP peacekeeping costs in the Central African 

Republic (CAR). 

Because final decisions about the number and activities of U.S. 

forces in Afghanistan after December 2014 had not yet been made 

when the FY 2015 Budget was submitted, the Budget included $5.9 

billion in OCO funding for State/OIP and a placeholder of $79.4 billion for DOD. This package submits for your consideration the complete and updated FY 2015 request for DOD OCO funding, totaling 

$58.6 billion, as well as an increase of $1.4 billion for State/OIP 

OCO funding. Overall, these amendments decrease by $19.5 billion 

the total amount of OCO funding requested for FY 2015. 

The United States’ goals in Afghanistan beyond 2014 are to continue to support the Afghan National Security Forces, support economic development and governance efforts, and pursue U.S. 

counterterrorism goals against al Qaeda and its affiliated groups. 

As you announced in May, the United States will conclude combat 

operations in Afghanistan by the end of this calendar year. The 

United States will draw down to approximately 9,800 U.S. 

servicemembers in Afghanistan by early 2015, which, together with 

NATO allies and other partners, will allow the United States to 

continue advising key Afghan forces and to sustain counterterrorism operations. By the end of 2015 the United States will have 

reduced that presence by roughly half and consolidated its military 

and diplomatic presence to Kabul and Bagram Airfield. By the end 

of 2016, DOD will draw down to a more conventional embassybased security assistance presence in Kabul. 

In support of OEF and related follow-on activities, DOD OCO 

funding would support several key efforts, including: 

• concluding the combat mission in Afghanistan at the end 

of 2014 and positioning U.S. military and intelligence 

forces in Afghanistan for their post-2014 mission; 


jbell on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
4 

• drawing down to approximately 9,800 U.S. servicemembers 

in the country by early 2015 from an average of 38,000 in 

FY 2014; • continuing to support the Afghan National Security Forces 

(ANSF) as they assume full responsibility for security in 

Afghanistan after December 2014; • sustaining the fight against transnational terrorists who 

seek to undermine the United States and its allies; • providing warfighters with the intelligence, surveillance, 

and reconnaissance (ISR) support that has proven essential for mission success in Afghanistan and around the region; • providing support to Coalition allies in Afghanistan and 

the surrounding region; • disposing of unexploded ordnance in Afghanistan and continuing to support Coalition and partner efforts to counter 

improvised explosive devices; • returning thousands of cargo containers and pieces of 

equipment from Afghanistan to their home stations; • replenishing or replacing expended munitions and ammunition as well as combat-damaged equipment, including 

helicopters, ground vehicles, and unmanned aerial systems; and • supporting a portion of temporary Army and Marine Corps 

end strength that currently supports OEF, but will not be 

required under the defense strategy articulated in the 

2014 Quadrennial Defense Review. 

Although the FY 2015 OCO request reflects a transition as the 

United States concludes combat operations in Afghanistan partway 

into the fiscal year, most costs will not decline precipitously. For 

example, DOD will still incur significant costs to transport personnel, supplies, and equipment back to their home stations. Funding to sustain the ANSF will continue to be needed to ensure that 

Afghan forces can provide sufficient security. There will be continued costs to repair and replace equipment and munitions as DOD 

resets the force over the next few years. 

The OCO funding would also continue to support DOD’s strong 

forward presence in the broader Middle East region. The overall 

U.S. military posture in the region enables DOD to support OEF 

and other important missions, such as assuring our regional partners, deterring aggression, and working with our partners to 

counter terrorism. It includes advanced fighter aircraft, ISR assets, 

missile defense capabilities, rotational ground forces, a robust 

naval presence, and building partners’ capacity. As the United 

States continues its transition from over a decade of fighting in the 

broader region to preparing for future challenges, military capabilities in the region will continue to evolve to meet new threats. 

The updated OCO request includes $5 billion for CTPF, split 

among DOD, State/OIP, and the Intelligence Community, with 

dedicated transfer accounts in both DOD and State/OIP designed 

to provide the flexibility and resources required to respond to 

emerging needs as terrorist threats continue to evolve. The CTPF 

would support a more sustainable and effective approach to combating terrorism that focuses on empowering and enabling partners 


jbell on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
5 

facing terrorist threats. The DOD request of $4.0 billion would support a transitional effort to increase partner capacity-building, facilitate partner counterterrorism operations, enhance DOD’s 

counterterrorism activities, and increase DOD’s flexibility in responding to emergent crises. The State/OIP request of $1.0 billion 

would enable the Department to increase counterterrorism and stabilization efforts in areas such as the Middle East, North Africa 

and the Sahel, the Horn of Africa, and South and Central Asia; address underlying conditions conducive to terrorism; and address the 

broader counterterrorism challenge of the crisis in Syria and its destabilizing impact on the region. Both funds build primarily on existing authorities, but would provide the Federal Government with 

expanded flexibility and resources to respond more nimbly to evolving terrorist threats and further develop and invest in partnerships 

from South Asia to the Sahel. 

The OCO request also includes $1 billion for the ERI to provide 

temporary support to bolster the security of our NATO allies and 

partner states in Europe. These funds would enable the United 

States to increase military exercises, training, and presence in Europe, especially in Central and Eastern Europe, increase U.S. naval 

force deployments to the Black and Baltic Seas, enhance our preparedness to reinforce NATO allies through the prepositioning of 

equipment, improve infrastructure at training and logistics facilities, especially in Central and Eastern Europe, and strengthen the 

capacity of partner states in Europe to operate alongside the 

United States and NATO and to defend their security. Of the $1 

billion requested, $925 million is for DOD and $75 million is for 

State/OIP’s Foreign Military Financing account. The updated request includes an additional $278 million in 

State/OIP’s Peacekeeping Response Mechanism account to fully 

fund the additional estimated costs resulting from the April 2014 

decision by United Nations (UN) Security Council to authorize a 

new UN peacekeeping mission to deploy in the CAR. This decision 

was made after the Administration submitted its FY 2015 Budget. 

General provisions included in this request would provide necessary authorities to support military operations in the U.S. Central Command area of responsibility. As in each of the past five 

years, these include a request for $4 billion in OCO-specific transfer authority. 

Your FY 2015 Budget submitted in March 2014 estimated $47.1 

billion in FY 2015 outlays from the FY 2015 DOD OCO placeholder. Based on the updated request submitted in this package, 

FY 2015 DOD OCO outlays from new budget authority would be 

$33.8 billion. In addition, the updated request increases estimated 

FY 2015 State/OIP OCO outlays by $472 million. 

The FY 2015 Budget also reproposes a $450 billion multi-year 

cap on Government-wide OCO funding over the FY 2013 to FY 

2021 period. In FY 2014, enacted funding designated as OCO is 

$91.9 billion across DOD, State/OIP, and the Department of Homeland Security. With this update, the FY 2015 Budget proposes a 

total of $65.8 billion in OCO funding for DOD and State/OIP, leaving a total of $199.2 billion remaining under the proposed cap for 

the years FY 2016 to FY 2021, or an average of $33.2 billion per 

year.

This amendment would provide $4.0 billion for the Department 

of Defense (DOD) portion of the Counterterrorism Partnerships 

Fund (CTPF) announced by the President at West Point on May 

28, 2014. DOD funds made available for the CTPF would enable 

the United States to enhance counterterrorism and crisis response 

activities undertaken by the U.S. military and provide enabling 

support to partners on the front lines against terrorism. CTPF 

funds will be used to support counterterrorism capacity-building efforts and/or combined counterterrorism operations in areas such as 

the Middle East, North Africa and the Sahel, the Horn of Africa, 

and South and Central Asia. In addition, CTPF funds will be used 

to expand or enhance U.S. capabilities and capacity needed to support counterterrorism goals (e.g., additional intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capacity) and will allow DOD to respond 

more quickly and effectively to emergent crises related to counterterrorism. 

The CTPF builds primarily on existing authorities, but provides 

the Federal Government with expanded flexibility and resources to 

respond more nimbly to evolving terrorist threats and to further 

develop and invest in partnerships from South Asia to the Sahel 

in support of a sustainable and effective counterterrorism strategy. 

In addition, appropriating CTPF funding in a transfer account will 

provide the flexibility needed to effectively respond to diffuse terrorist networks and a rapidly changing security environment. Specific allocations of CTPF funding will be subject to congressional 


jbell on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
34 

notification requirements as well as an interagency policy process 

jointly led by the National Security Council and the Office of Management and Budget in order to ensure integrated planning and 

comprehensive oversight of CTPF funds. 

The CTPF will also include the Syria Regional Stabilization Initiative (RSI). Funding under the RSI will build the capacity of the 

Syrian opposition and of neighboring countries including Jordan, 

Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq to manage the growing spillover effects 

of the Syrian conflict. The Administration will leverage existing security cooperation and assistance programs, expand training and 

related infrastructure, and tailor support packages to meet identified regional needs for areas contending with refugees and other 

destabilizing effects from the Syrian conflict. The Administration 

has included a proposed authority to provide defense articles and 

services to vetted elements of the Syrian armed opposition to help 

defend the Syrian people, stabilize areas under opposition control 

and facilitate the provision of essential services, counter terrorist 

threats, and promote conditions for a negotiated settlement. The 

RSI will make investments in the region now that can help build 

resilience in communities and strengthen internal and border security capabilities for the Syrian people and Syria’s neighbors as they 

confront growing threats.

and only after certifying in writing to the Congress that it is in the 

national security interest to do so: 

Provided further, That the amount provided under this heading 

is 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 the amount provided under this heading 

shall be available only if the President designates such amount for 

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

This amendment would create a new transfer account and pro- vide $925 million to fund the DOD portion of the European Reassurance Initiative (ERI) proposed by the President in Warsaw on 

June 3, 2014. Funds made available for the ERI will enable the 

United States to increase military exercises, training, and presence 

in Europe, especially Central and Eastern Europe; increase U.S. 

naval force deployments to the Black and Baltic Seas; enhance our 

preparedness to reinforce NATO allies through the prepositioning 

of equipment; improve infrastructure at training and logistics facilities, especially in Central and Eastern Europe; and strengthen 

the capacity of partner states in Europe to operate alongside the 

United States and NATO and to defend their security. Building on 

existing authorities, appropriating ERI funding in a transfer account will provide flexibility and responsiveness to the evolving 

concerns of our allies and partners and allow time for the long 

planning horizons needed for exercises and deployments in a fluid 

security situation.

(In the appropriations language under the above bureau just 

after the Bodoni dash and immediately before the heading ‘‘Global 

Security Contingency Fund’’, insert the above new heading, the 

new subheading, the following new language, and a new Bodoni 

dash:) 

For the ‘‘Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund’’, $1,000,000,000, to 

remain available until September 30, 2017: 

Provided, That such funds shall be available, notwithstanding 

any other provision of law, for the purposes of undertaking counterterrorism partnership efforts worldwide, responding to crises, and 

addressing regional instability from the conflict in Syria, (including, in addition to amounts otherwise available for such purposes, 

for administrative expenses): 

Provided further, That the Secretary of State shall, with the approval of the Office of Management and Budget, (1) transfer the 

funds provided herein to accounts under the headings ‘‘Foreign 

Military Financing’’, ‘‘Nonproliferation, Antiterrorism, Demining 

and Related Programs’’, ‘‘International Narcotics Control and Law 

Enforcement’’, ‘‘Peacekeeping Operations’’, ‘‘Complex Crises Fund’’, 

and ‘‘Economic Support Fund’’ or, (2) with the approval of the Office of Management and Budget and the concurrence of the Secretary of Defense, transfer and merge the funds provided herein 

with ‘‘Department of Defense—Counterterrorism Partnerships 

Fund’’: 

Provided further, That the transfer authority in the preceding 

proviso is in addition to any other transfer authority available to 

the Department of State: 

Provided further, That the Secretary of State shall, not fewer than 

5 days prior to transferring amounts from this appropriation account, notify the Committees on Appropriations in writing of the details of any such transfer: 

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

transfer of funds if the Secretary of State 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 

State shall immediately notify the Committees on Appropriations 

within 3 days after such transfer that such transfer is necessary and 

provide any relevant information: 


jbell on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
67 

Provided further, That, upon a determination by the Secretary of 

State with the approval of the Office of Management and Budget, 

that all or part of the funds transferred from this appropriation are 

not necessary for the purposes provided herein, such amounts may 

be transferred back to this appropriation and shall be available for 

the same purposes and for the same time period as originally appropriated: 

Provided further, That, upon a determination by the Secretary of 

Defense, with the approval of the Office of Management and Budget 

and the concurrence of the Secretary of State, that all or part of the 

funds transferred from this appropriation to the Department of Defense are not necessary for the purposes provided herein, such 

amounts may be transferred back to this appropriation and shall be 

available for the same purposes and for the same time period as 

originally appropriated: 

Provided further, That the amount provided under this heading 

is 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 the amount provided under this heading 

shall be available only if the President designates such amount for 

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

This amendment would provide $1.0 billion for the Department 

of State/OIP’s portion of the Counterterrorism Partnerships Fund 

(CTPF) announced by the President at West Point on May 28, 

2014. Funds made available for the CTPF would enable the United 

States to enhance counterterrorism and crisis response activities 

and provide enabling support to partners on the front lines against 

terrorism. CTPF funds will be used to support counterterrorism capacity-building efforts in areas such as the Middle East, North Africa and the Sahel, the Horn of Africa, and South and Central Asia. 

The CTPF will also include the Syria Regional Stabilization Initiative (RSI). Funding under the RSI will build the capacity of the 

Syrian opposition and of neighboring countries including Jordan, 

Lebanon, Turkey, and Iraq to manage the growing spillover effects 

of the Syrian conflict. The Administration will leverage existing security cooperation and assistance programs, expand training and 

related infrastructure, and tailor support packages to meet identified regional needs for areas contending with refugees and other 

destabilizing effects from the Syrian conflict. The RSI will make investments in the region now that can help build resilience in communities and strengthen internal and border security capabilities 

for the Syrian people and Syria’s neighbors as they confront growing threats. 

The CTPF builds on existing authorities, but provides the Federal Government with expanded flexibility and resources to respond more nimbly to evolving terrorist threats and to further develop and invest in partnerships from South Asia to the Sahel in 

support of a sustainable and effective counterterrorism strategy. In 

addition, appropriating CTPF funding in a transfer account will 

provide the flexibility needed to effectively respond to diffuse terrorist networks and a rapidly changing security environment. SpeVerDate Mar 15 2010 06:56 Jul 03, 2014 Jkt 039012 PO 00000 Frm 00069 Fmt 6602 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\HD126.XXX HD126

cific allocations of CTPF funding will be subject to congressional 

notification requirements as well as an interagency policy process 

jointly led by the National Security Council and the Office of Management and Budget in order to ensure integrated planning and 

comprehensive oversight of CTPF funds.
