FY 2010 Environmental Restoration and Drug Interdiction and Counter-Drug Activity funding is executed in the Services and Agencies programs. The Department transfer these program funds to other appropriations (primarily Operation and Maintenance) where the Components manage, obligate and expend the transferred funds for the purposes appropriated. 5 Total may not add due to rounding The Department of Defense’s Operation and Maintenance (O&M) programs strengthen our military readiness; ensuring we are able to execute a full spectrum of military operations – from deterring aggression and coercion, to conducting concurrent smaller-scale contingency operations, to fighting and winning major theater wars. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE TITLE SUMMARY 2 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE TITLE SUMMARY To fulfill these roles, U.S. forces must be prepared and ready to execute their combat missions decisively. Resources dedicated to O&M reflect the Department’s commitment to readiness. The Department’s fighting forces are the best in the world. Recognizing threats to U.S. security exists beyond the contingency operations in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. must also build and strengthen the military and security capabilities of our global partners to increase the effectiveness of U.S. forces. To strengthen the military and security capabilities of global partners, the FY 2012 budget provides $500 million for the Global Train and Equip Program. The funding amounts reflected in this Overview are expressed in Total Obligational Authority (TOA) terms. The term “TOA” includes Budget Authority and financing adjustments (e.g., transfers from unobligated balances), which comprise the total funding available for obligation in the appropriations included in the O&M Title. The summary table at the top of this page identifies the TOA for the appropriations included in the O&M Title. The FY 2012 TOA request of $204.4 billion for the O&M Title increases $4.0 billion above the FY 2011 baseline funding of $200.4 billion. The increase consists of $2.1 billion in price change

Col. Ryan Nudi, the 354th Operations Group deputy commander. “In an effort to provide the most demanding tactical aviation course, the school needs world- class adversary air. The 18th AGRS support this course by partnering with other adversary squadrons to provide the WIC students a premier near-peer adversary to train against.” The 18th AGRS temporary assignment to Nellis directly supports the wing commander’s priority of premier air exercises and adversary support. Lt. Col. Gregory Keller, the 18th AGRS U.S. Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcons assigned to the 18th Aggressor Squadron from Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, on the commander, agrees with Nudi by stating runway Nov. 3, at Nellis AFB, Nev. The Aggressors are currently TDY to Nellis in support of the U. S. Air Force Weapons School, aiding in training U.S. forces in 21st century combat.
