THE BUDGET FOR FISCAL YEAR 2006

85

PROTECTING AMERICA
Under this Administration, the Department of Defense (DOD) has received the largest increases in
funding since the Reagan Administration, and this Budget builds upon that record. The 2006 request
represents a 41-percent increase over 2001, and a 4.8-percent increase over 2005. The Department
has used these resources to transform our Nation’s military capabilities to meet future threats, to
improve the quality of life for our troops and their families, and to fight the Global War on Terror.
To ensure the most cost-effective use of its resources, the Department has recently examined its
programs carefully. As a result, DOD has changed some of its spending priorities in this year’s Budget and will continue to refine these in the 2005 Quadrennial Review, the Department’s strategic
review of defense requirements and spending priorities. This Budget continues the Administration’s
commitment to our troops by providing a 3.1 percent pay raise and additional bonuses to support
recruiting and retention. The Budget includes additional funding in the outyears for the Army to
change from a division-based structure to one based on new, more agile "modular" brigades better
tailored to both ongoing operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and future conflicts. It also improves
DOD’s capabilities against weapons of mass destruction, including new laboratory facilities, detection systems, and protective measures against advanced biological and chemical weapons. This Budget moves funding for critical intelligence activities essential to success in the long-term Global War
on Terror, including language proficiency training, to the base intelligence budget. This move significantly reduces the reliance of the Intelligence Community on supplemental funding, which has
been a source of insecurity in intelligence program planning and a source of criticism from the 9/11
Commission. In addition, the Budget increases by 1,400 the number of special operations personnel,
whose capabilities have contributed significantly to the War on Terror.
One of the key tenets of transformation is the ability to evolve rapidly and adjust future planning
to account for changes in the global environment. Because of the continuing need to reexamine priorities, DOD has reviewed its management processes and weapons systems. As a result, this Budget
proposes management savings such as a reduction in Navy end-strength and overall defense contractor support. It also reduces major systems over the next few years based on their cost-effectiveness
and/or potential to counter future threats. Examples of these reductions include slower production
rates for the V-22, the Expeditionary Fighting Vehicle, the F/A-22, and several classes of large warships (including retiring one aircraft carrier early). DOD has also terminated some programs whose
cost-effectiveness no longer warrants their continuation, such as the C-130J and the Joint Common
Missile. While proceeding with the above changes, DOD continues to support new transformational
capabilities, such as Unmanned Aerial, Underwater, and Land Vehicles; the Littoral Combat Ship,
the Army’s Future Combat System; and many other programs with a high potential to meet current
and future threats.

The Global War on Terror
DOD is fighting the Global War on Terror by:
• taking the fight to the enemy;
• working with allies to isolate and eliminate terror cells; and
• supporting emerging democracies.
Since the precise costs of ongoing operations could not be estimated at the time the 2005 Budget
was proposed or enacted, the Administration plans to request, in addition to the 2006 Budget proposals, an emergency supplemental to fund continuing military operations in 2005. The 2006 Budget

86

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

PROTECTING AMERICA—Continued
and 2005 supplemental funding request reinforce the United States’ unwavering commitment to ensuring that our men and women in uniform have what they need to protect our homeland, defeat
terrorism around the world, and support new democracies in Iraq and Afghanistan.
In 2005, the United States expects to
maintain substantial force levels in Iraq to
ensure security and help the Iraqi government
defeat the insurgency. In 2005, the United
States also expects to maintain a significant
force in Afghanistan. The 2005 supplemental
will help to fund these deployments, including
equipment, force protection, and intelligence
support.
Together the 2006 Budget and 2005 supplemental will increase the ability of the Army to
support the Global War on Terror by accelerating their transformation into more lethal, more

the resources to train Iraqi and Afghan security
forces to assure greater responsibility for the security of their countries. In order to build upon the military successes in Iraq and Afghanistan, and
in order to continue to lay the foundation for stable democracies, the United States is committed to
building up the security forces of these new governments. As of January 2005, U.S. and allied forces
had trained 127,000 Iraqi security forces and will continue to work with the Iraqi Government to
improve the capabilities and performance of these forces.
Similarly, in Afghanistan the coalition has
trained over 16,000 troops for the Afghan
National Army (ANA). The ANA has been so
successful that the rate of training has been
increased and funds to accelerate that effort
will be requested in the 2005 supplemental.
Another key element of the U.S. strategy to
bolster democracy in Iraq and Afghanistan is
providing aid to the people there. To advance
freedom and stability, the United States is
funding a variety of long- and short-term
initiatives designed to support national
infrastructure and projects of immediate value
to hundreds of towns and villages.

The 2006 Budget and 2005 supplemental
propose to continue the authority for the Commander’s Emergency Response Program (CERP).
The Budget requests authority for an additional $300 million, and substantial additional 2005
supplemental funding will be requested. Since the inception of CERP, commanders have spent
almost $250 million to directly improve education, healthcare, electricity, water, and security. Each
major command has been allocated CERP funds based on the geography, population, and needs
of their respective region. CERP projects help local commanders quickly deal with short-term

needs and are conducted along with large-city
and nationwide projects headed by the U.S.
Agency for International Development and the
Corps of Engineers. CERP is successful because
it is administered by local commanders who live
and interact with local citizens. Commanders
work directly with local communities, through
civil affairs experts, to identify and respond to
immediate needs with low-cost, high-impact
projects. A testament to the program’s success
is the fact that the Iraqi Interim Government
has added millions of dollars of its own funding
to the program.

Transforming the way the U.S. military is organized and equipped is one of the highest security
priorities for President Bush. To support the President’s goals, the 2006 Budget and 2005 supplemental fund:
• a wide variety of unmanned vehicles;
• the continued development of a reconfigurable warship that can be effective in multiple missions;
• the realignment of Army units to make them more flexible and more easily deployable;
• the Global Posture Initiative that optimizes the deployment of U.S. forces around the world; and
• the development of new communications and computer systems.
Unmanned vehicles are well suited to the
dangerous missions that U.S. troops often
undertake at great risk.
The Department
continues to make major investments in the
development and procurement of unmanned
ground vehicles (UGVs), unmanned underwater
vehicles (UUVs), unmanned aerial vehicles
(UAVs), and unmanned combat aerial vehicles.
DOD has only begun to exploit the potential
of these vehicles. For example, while current
operational UAVs like the Predator and Global
Hawk are well known, many other UAVs have
been, or are being, developed by the Department

while the current generation of UAVs have been
mainly used in the reconnaissance role, the Department is exploring the feasibility of using UAVs
in entirely new ways that will help to transform how U.S. forces fight. An example of this is the use
of armed robots to assist in the clearing of buildings occupied by insurgents. This capability has the
potential to transform urban combat operations. UUVs are also being developed for mine detection
and avoidance operations, and the range of missions for UGVs is expanding from examining
improvised explosive devices to exploring caves. The Department’s funding for these efforts reflects
the importance the Administration places on this area of technology development. The 2006

88

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

PROTECTING AMERICA—Continued
Budget provides $1.7 billion for unmanned vehicles. Unmanned vehicles will provide a significant
advantage for U.S. forces on the battlefield of the future by reducing the risks to our troops.
The Littoral Combat Ship (LCS), now in
development and testing, is a fast, small, and
low-cost surface warship capable of operating
in littoral (near-shore) waters.
The Navy
will use the LCS in environments where it is
impractical to employ larger, multi-mission
ships. The LCS has an innovative hull form
and propulsion systems and is capable of high
speeds reaching 40 to 50 knots. This capability
will enable it to perform many different
missions such as anti-small-boat warfare,
mine countermeasures, and anti-submarine
warfare.
Secondary missions will include
intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance,

support for Special Operation forces support.
The 2006 Budget supports the LCS and associated weapons systems by providing $613 million for
acquisition, which is an increase of $156 million from 2005.
The 2006 Budget supports substantial investments in advanced technology to provide advantages
over our enemies, particularly in remote sensing and high-performance computing. U.S. intelligence
capabilities are employing advanced technology systems to exploit, process, and produce information
from enemy signals, imagery, and human and other sources. Investments in communications are
improving connectivity between troops and their commanders well beyond the field of battle. These
developments are improving our ability to detect and counter the broad range of threats facing the
United States, reaping benefits for both U.S. forces and homeland security.
The 2006 Budget also supports the Department’s efforts on a wide range of technologies that can
protect military personnel, while allowing them to perform their mission more effectively. For example, the Budget funds research into new materials for troop clothing that provides better camouflage,
helps to maintain comfort and health, and still stands up to harsh conditions. Other research and
development is proceeding on the detection of improvised explosive devices, chemical and biological
agents, and radioactive materials. Additional work is being supported on aerial sensors, hypervelocity missiles, and other smart weapons that will reduce the time from the appearance of a battlefield
threat to the time that the threat is destroyed.

Organizational Transformation
Transformation requires more than pursuing next-generation weapons systems. Transformation
also requires changing the way we organize our troops to address new threats. An example of this is
the Army’s effort to “modularize” its combat and support units into more effective and useable formations. The new modular combat brigades are more self-contained than current brigades because they
include their own artillery, engineers, military police, and supply capabilities. This makes them more
deployable and flexible than current brigades. Once the reorganization into modular units is complete, Reserve and Active units will be more interchangeable, reducing the frequency of deployment

of high-demand units and providing stability for soldiers and their families. The Administration
plans to request an additional $35 billion for the Army for modularity between 2005 and 2011.

Global Posture Initiative
In August 2004, the President announced
the most comprehensive restructuring of U.S.
military forces overseas since the end of the
Korean War. This will require the shifting of
our military presence from Cold War needs to
one reflecting the strategic realities of the 21st
Century. Once the Global Posture Initiative is
implemented, our forces will be better able to
contend with new threats, such as those posed
by terrorism and the proliferation of weapons
of mass destruction. Another benefit of this
initiative is that it will enable fewer overseas
moves for service members, providing more
stability for military families.
This initiative is expected to be implemented over the next 10 years. Over that
time, 70,000 military personnel—and 100,000
family members and other civilians—are
expected to return to the United States as a
result of this effort. The United States’ overseas presence will be reduced from 850 sites to
550. To begin this effort, the Administration
has added $416 million in the 2006 Budget
and $3.5 billion through 2011. Furthermore,
the Administration expects the decisions on
global posture will help inform base closing
decisions under the Base Realignment and
Closure (BRAC) process in 2005.

Forward basing for B–2 Bombers is addressed by the Global Posture
Initiative.

Spiral Acquisition
One of DOD’s key initiatives for improving how it procures new weapon systems is the use of “spiral
acquisition,” in which new technologies and capabilities are tested and added to the inventory in
carefully planned and limited increments. In the past, many new weapon systems were designed
from a “clean sheet” to achieve a dramatic leap forward in capability. This often led to pushing the
use of very young technologies, coupled with very complex designs and system engineering. The
result was often large cost increases and schedule delays. This inevitably resulted in troops having
to continue using older equipment, which was not upgraded because the new weapons’ program cost
over-runs were absorbing funding. The Administration is committed to solve this problem.
A good example of spiral acquisition is the Army’s Future Combat System (FCS), which this Budget
supports with a $3.4 billion request, an increase of $200 million from 2005. FCS will provide 18 new
systems (ranging from UAVs, new sensors, unmanned ground systems, and new armored fighting
vehicles) to re-equip the Army for the highly mobile, network-centric warfare of the 21st Century.

90

DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE

PROTECTING AMERICA—Continued
FCS had been structured as a classic large, complex acquisition where everything was planned to
come together (all 18 systems plus a network to link them) into the first, completely re-equipped
brigade in 2010. The acquisition risk and cost of this approach was formidable. Recognizing the
problem, the Army restructured FCS development and procurement into a spiral acquisition where
subsets of the new systems are delivered in four “spirals” beginning in 2008. This approach allows
the Army to deploy those elements of FCS that are ready first, while providing enough time to test
and develop the more challenging components for introduction in later spirals. The new strategy will
provide more capability to the troops sooner, while effectively managing cost and technical risk.

Strengthening Intelligence
Policymakers require timely, accurate, and insightful information on the capabilities and intentions of foreign powers, including terrorist groups. Military commanders need such information and
real-time battlefield intelligence to wage war successfully. The agencies of the U.S. intelligence community have the responsibility to meet the full range of U.S. intelligence needs from the national level
to the tactical level. The 2006 Budget devotes substantial resources to U.S. intelligence capabilities
and continues a commitment to transform them to more effectively meet the challenges of the 21st
Century.

Military Housing
The President is committed to providing
members of the military and their families
quality housing whether they live on- or
off-base. The 2006 Budget is the first in which
members of the military and their families
living off-base will have their total average
housing costs fully paid.
One of the goals of the 2006 Budget is to
eliminate 67,000 inadequate housing units
(out of a total of 136,000 Government-owned
units) by 2007. A proven method to eliminate
inadequate housing, and to improve the quality
of housing over the long-term, is to privatize

Defense Health
DOD’s expert medical care teams continue
to save lives in Iraq and Afghanistan due
to advanced battlefield medical techniques,
rapid patient transportation systems, and
state-of-the-art medical equipment. Battlefield
health care has been enhanced with field surgical
and medical care teams that provide front-line,
life-saving medical attention within minutes
after injury and are integrated with a responsive
medical system. The specialized aero-medical

importance of the swift, high-quality, and
compassionate care delivered. DOD has also made far-reaching improvements in its development of
automated records to support quick access to critical healthcare information. In 2006, the Budget
requests $19.8 billion, an increase of $1.6 billion over 2005, to continue providing our troops and
their families with comprehensive and quality health care.
This Administration has expanded access to medical care for reservists and their family members
before, during, and after mobilization. For those reservists, retirees, and families not using DOD’s
own medical care system, DOD provides an insurance program called TRICARE. This program has
made significant changes to its nationwide contracts to improve portability for families and eliminate
regional administrative differences. Enrollment is now automatically transferred when beneficiaries

physicians has also expanded, and other
customer-focused improvements have been
made to increase the quality of care, access, and
claims payments. DOD’s new TRICARE website
provides more beneficiary information on
enrollment and network providers, procedures
to file claims, customer support, and the ability
for a patient to view his or her claims online.
In addition, the website includes programs to
provide beneficiaries with information that
allows them to make better healthcare decisions.

Education Assistance
In keeping with his commitment to improve benefits and quality of life for the Nation’s citizensoldiers, President Bush proposed and recently signed into law a new education assistance program
for members of the Guard and Reserve who are mobilized in the War on Terror. Members of the
National Guard and Reserve mobilized for more than 90 consecutive days and less than one year
will receive, in addition to the current $288 benefit, an additional $114 per month, or 40 percent
increase, for a total of $402 per month in 2005 for education. Members mobilized between one and
two consecutive years will receive an additional $314 per month, or 109 percent more, for a total of
$602 per month in 2005. Members mobilized over two consecutive years will receive an additional
$515 per month, or 179 percent more, for a total of $803 per month in 2005. The 2006 Budget funds
this initiative with $203 million.
DOD also provides a full range of transition services to members leaving service. These services include information on education, training, employment assistance, Guard and Reserve opportunities,
medical benefits, financial assistance, and public and community service. DOD also offers a variety of tools to help departing service members write resumes and maintains databases of jobs from
many employers, including employers specifically seeking applicants with service members’ skills.
DOD works closely with the Department of Veterans’ Affairs and the Department of Labor to ensure
departing members receive all the benefits and assistance to which they are entitled.

MAKING GOVERNMENT MORE EFFECTIVE
Transfer of Background Checks to the Office of Personnel Management
DOD and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) signed a Memorandum of Agreement for the
permanent transfer of approximately 1,800 DOD employees to OPM, in early 2005. The employees
will augment OPM’s contractors to perform the personnel background investigations required for
Federal employment and granting security clearances for Federal civil servants, military personnel,
and contractor personnel. With these additional personnel, OPM will be able to aggressively move
to reduce the backlog in these investigations—a critical step to strengthen national and homeland
security. Moving this function to OPM allows DOD to focus its resources on warfighting, while allowing OPM to use its expertise in personnel matters.

Military to Civilian Conversions
Beginning in 2004, DOD converted over 7,600 military positions to civilian positions, to relieve
strain on the military force and to free up our troops to meet high-priority military missions. The Department plans to convert an additional 12,000 military positions in 2005, and over 5,800 additional
positions in 2006. This program is an essential part of the Department’s efforts to ensure all military
personnel are performing military essential activities in support of the Global War on Terror.

National Security Personnel System
In November 2003, the Congress passed landmark legislation adapting an Administration proposal
to grant authority to DOD to establish a new civilian personnel management system, the National
Security Personnel System (NSPS). Since that time, the Department has worked with its employees,
OPM, and various union representatives to develop a personnel system that will provide the Department the flexibility to hire, assign, pay, evaluate, advance, and remove DOD civilian employees based
on current national security requirements. The system will protect employees’ rights by continuing
the use of merit system principles, accommodation of veterans’ preference, and respect for bargaining. DOD plans to roll out the first phases of NSPS at the end of 2005 and beginning of 2006. Once
fully implemented, NSPS will cover over 700,000 civilian DOD employees.

Adopting Best Practices
DOD depots are adopting best practices from the
private sector to save money and improve their
ability to maintain our military’s equipment. The
implementation of new initiatives has helped military
depots to identify wasteful practices and eliminate
tasks that do not add value. Depot managers have
reorganized workspaces to be more ergonomic, helping
DOD personnel to spend more time repairing military
equipment and less time looking for their tools or spare
parts.

Base Realignment and Closure
The maintenance of excess infrastructure diverts resources from where they can best be used to
support the military. The 2006 Budget will allow the Department to implement the recommendations
of the 2005 BRAC round that, in conjunction with the Global Posture Initiative, will allow it to match
its infrastructure spending to new national security imperatives. BRAC will start realizing over $7
billion in estimated annual savings by 2012. These savings will allow DOD to allocate funds to higher
priority requirements, such as efforts to modernize weapons, enhance quality of life and improve
readiness. However, the 2006 Budget does not prejudge any particular closures or realignments.
Decisions regarding closures or realignments are made through the BRAC process.

Over the past year, the Department has worked to develop and begin implementing the new National Security
Personnel System that will give DOD the tools it needs to manage its workforce more strategically. In addition,
DOD has made solid progress identifying and strengthening management competencies. While DOD has
effectively used A-76 competitions to achieve general savings in the past, the pace of announcements has
slowed significantly causing DOD to fail to meet its goals. Competition announcements under the revised A-76
Circular have lagged. With new announcements coming, DOD expects the Competitive Sourcing Initiative to
reduce costs to the Military Services and Defense Agencies by more than $6 billion by 2006 and by almost
$16 billion by 2009. The Department is engaged in a major, long-term effort to modernize its financial and
business systems. This effort is helping DOD to better understand the root causes of its financial management
weaknesses, target improvement efforts, and identify best practices going forward. For E-Gov, DOD certified and
accredited 72 percent of all its systems to ensure they meet information technology security requirements, and it
is moving forward with architecture efforts to improve information flow to the battlefield. As part of the Budget
Performance and Integration Initiative, DOD continues to implement the new Program, Planning, Budgeting and
Execution System to emphasize the integration of performance metrics into the budget process.

DOD is well positioned to make significant advancements in real property management. The Department’s
Asset Management Plan incorporates best practice solutions that assist DOD managers in making capital
investment decisions that help advance mission critical objectives. The Department has employed effective
controls to maintain low improper payment rates in the military retirement and health programs. DOD is also
taking aggressive steps to address improper payments to contractors, recovering $86.3 million of such payments
in 2003. (Because this is the first quarter that agency efforts in the Eliminating Improper Payments Initiative were
rated, progress scores were not given.) The Department has privatized 74,153 housing units and is on track to
eliminate all inadequate housing units by 2007. The 2006 Budget supports the elimination of all inadequate
housing in the continental United States by 2007. DOD is making significant progress this year in privatizing
military housing, thereby achieving Green for status and progress.
