U.S. Department of Defense FISCAL YEAR 2009 SUPPLEMENTAL REQUEST April 2009 COMPTROLLER The Department of Defense is grateful for the $65.9 billion provided by Congress in June 2008 to support military operations for the first portion of fiscal year 2009. Consistent with the Obama Administration's goals for activities in Iraq and Afghanistan, this additional request of $75.8 billion now represents the best estimate of funding needed to continue Overseas Contingency Operations and other security activities through the remainder of the fiscal year. The following volume is a summary justification for the present request, explaining the need for those funds and their uses. Additional materials containing detailed information will be provided by the Military Departments. This justification explains what America's servicemen and women need to carry out their missions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other locations around the globe. Included are amounts for troop subsistence; special pay; supplies; fuel; ammunition; and transportation for troops, vehicles, tanks, helicopters, and other equipment. Also included are funds for training and equipping Afghan military and police units, which bear the principal responsibility for security in that country, as well as funds to help the Government of Pakistan to build a counterinsurgency capability that will support U.S. military efforts in Afghanistan. In addition, the following pages include a summary of near-term costs for reconstituting the force, including repair or replacement of equipment that has been destroyed, damaged, or worn out during operations. Finally, it should be noted that this request is based upon the Department's current best estimate of remaining funding needs for FY 2009. If circumstances change significantly in the coming months, the Department may seek to amend this request. Robert F.
