in a ranked list; and 
(B) identify candidate solutions for surviv-
ability and performance (such as candidate so-
lutions referred to in paragraph (2)(B) as well 
as maintenance, logistics, systems development, 
and so on) in a prioritized list, to mitigate each 
such causal factor, along with recommended 
funding adequate to achieve the goal of rotor-
craft loss rates to non-combat causes being re-
duced to 1.0; 
(4) identify the key technical factors (causes of 
mishaps that are not related to human factors) neg-
atively impacting the rotorcraft mishap rates and 
survivability trends, to include reliability, avail-
ability, maintainability, and other logistical consider-
ations; and
503 
(5) identify what TACAIR is and has done dif-
ferently to have such a decrease in losses per sortie 
when compared to rotorcraft, to include— 
(A) examination of aircraft, aircraft main-
tenance, logistics, operations, and pilot and op-
erator training; 
(B) an emphasis on the development of 
common service requirements that TACAIR has 
implemented already which are minimizing 
losses within TACAIR; and

agent is established that would manage and 
oversee the acquisition of technologies for net-
work-centric operations, but would not have ex-
clusive ownership or control of funding for such 
programs; 
(C) a model under which the current ap-
proach to the acquisition and funding of tech-
nologies supporting network-centric operations 
is maintained; and
506 
(D) any other models that the entity car-
rying out the study considers relevant and de-
serving of consideration.

for service by members of State defense forces estab-
lished under section 109(c) of title 32, United States 
Code.

peded by lack of clarity in the Federal regulations 
concerning those forces, particularly in defining lev-
533 
els of coordination and cooperation between those 
forces and the Department of Defense. 
(3) The State defense forces suffer from lack of 
standardized military training, arms, equipment,

transfer personal property under this section without 
charge to the recipient force established under subsection 
(c).

(1) Participation by a force established under subsection
536 
(c) in a training program of the Department of Defense 
is at the discretion of the State.

quiring the Department of Defense to provide any training

tional security organizations to include all depart-
540 
ments and agencies that contribute to the relations 
of the United States with the world.

tion, the Department of Defense must effectively col-
laborate in both a supported and supporting role

an opportunity for the Department of Defense to ad-
dress internal assignments of functions.

tion.

615 
SEC. 1221. REPORT ON LONG-TERM COSTS OF OPERATION 
IRAQI FREEDOM AND OPERATION ENDURING 
FREEDOM. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The United States has been engaged in 
military operations in Afghanistan since October 
2001 and in military operations in Iraq since March 
2003. 
(2) According to the Congressional Research 
Service, 
to 
date, 
Congress 
has 
appropriated 
$700,000,000,000 from fiscal year 2001 through fis-
cal year 2008 for the Department of Defense, the 
State Department, and for medical costs paid by the 
Department of Veterans Affairs. This amount in-
cludes 
$526,000,000,000 
for 
Iraq 
and 
$140,000,000,000 
for 
Afghanistan 
and 
other 
counterterror operations. Among other expenditures, 
this amount includes funding for combat operations; 
deploying, transporting, feeding, and housing troops; 
deployment of National Guard and Reserve troops; 
the equipping and training of Iraqi and Afghani 
forces; purchasing, upgrading, and repairing weap-
ons, munitions and other equipment; supplemental 
combat pay and benefits; providing medical care to 
troops on active duty and returning veterans; recon-
616 
struction and foreign aid; and payments to other 
countries for logistical assistance. 
(3) Over 90 percent of Department of Defense 
funds for operations in Iraq and Afghanistan have 
been provided as emergency funds in supplemental 
or additional appropriations. 
(4) The Congressional Budget Office and the 
Congressional Research Service have stated that fu-
ture war costs are difficult to estimate because the 
Department of Defense has provided little detailed 
information on costs incurred to date, does not re-
port outlays or actual expenditures for war because 
war and baseline funds are mixed in the same ac-
counts, and does not provide information on many 
key factors which determine costs, including per-
sonnel levels or the pace of operations. 
(5) To date, the administration has not pro-
vided any long-term estimates of war costs, despite 
a statutory reporting requirement that the President 
submit a cost estimate for fiscal year 2006 through 
fiscal year 2011 that was enacted in 2004. 
(6) Operating costs in Iraq and Afghanistan 
have been increasing steadily since 2003, and war 
costs 
in 
Iraq 
have 
sharply 
increased 
from 
$50,000,000,000 
in 
2003 
to 
approximately
617 
$134,000,000,000 for fiscal year 2007, to the 
$154,000,000,000 request for fiscal year 2008. 
(7) The Iraq Study Group Report states that, 
‘‘the United States has made a massive commitment 
to the future of Iraq in both blood and treasure,’’ 
warns that ‘‘the United States must expect signifi-
cant ‘tail costs’ to come’’, and predicts that ‘‘Caring 
for veterans and replacing lost equipment will run 
into the hundreds of billions of dollars. Estimates 
run as high as $2 trillion for the final cost of the 
U.S. involvement in Iraq’’. 
(8) The Iraq Study Group Report also finds 
that ‘‘This level of expense is not sustainable over an 
extended period. . .’’. 
(9) The use of government contractors and pri-
vate military firms has reached unprecedented levels, 
with over 100,000 contractors operating in Iraq. 
(10) Over 1,600,000 American troops have 
served in Afghanistan and Iraq since the beginning 
of the conflicts. 
(11) Over 4,050 United States troops and De-
partment of Defense civilian personnel have been 
killed in Operation Iraqi Freedom, and over 490 
United States troops and Department of Defense ci-
618 
vilian personnel have been killed in Operation En-
during Freedom. 
(12) National Guard and Reserve troops are 
being deployed in support of these conflicts at un-
precedented levels. 
(13) Many troops are serving multiple deploy-
ments, and one-third of those serving in the Iraq 
war have been deployed two or more times. 
(14) Over 1,100 service members have suffered 
amputations as a result of their service in Afghani-
stan and Iraq. 
(15) More than 100,000 Iraq and Afghanistan 
veterans have been treated for mental health condi-
tions. 
(16) 52,000 Iraq and Afghanistan veterans 
have been diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress 
Disorder. 
(17) Nearly 37 percent of soldiers returning 
from Iraq and Afghanistan have sought treatment at 
Department of Veterans Affairs hospitals and clin-
ics. 
(18) Many troops have suffered multiple inju-
ries, with veterans claiming an average of five sepa-
rate conditions.
619 
(19) The Independent Review Group on Reha-
bilitative Care and Administrative Processes at Wal-
ter Reed Army Medical Center and National Naval 
Medical Center identified Traumatic Brain Injury, 
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, increased survival 
of severe burns, and traumatic amputations as the 
four signature wounds of the current conflicts, and 
found that the ‘‘numbers of servicemembers sur-
viving with. . .complex injuries have challenged our 
modern military medical system and exposed weak-
ness and breakdowns in access to care, as well as 
continuity of care management and follow-on admin-
istrative processes’’. 
(20) The Independent Review Group report also 
states that the recovery process ‘‘can take months or 
years and must accommodate recurring or delayed 
manifestations of symptoms, extended rehabilitation 
and all the life complications that emerge over time 
from such trauma’’. 
(b) REPORT REQUIREMENT; SCENARIOS.—Not later 
than 90 days after the date of the enactment of this Act, 
the President, with contributions from the Secretary of 
Defense, the Secretary of State, and the Secretary of the 
Department of Veterans Affairs, shall submit a report to

Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Free-
dom. The report shall contain estimates for the following

30,000 by the beginning of fiscal year 2010 and re-
mains at that level through fiscal year 2017. 
(2) The number of personnel deployed in sup-
port of Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation En-
during Freedom is reduced from current levels to 
75,000 by the beginning of fiscal year 2013 and re-

(3) An alternative scenario, defined by the
