Summary

This shows the base defense budget plus specific funding for wars in Iraq and Afghanistan

Chart explanation

This chart shows trends in annual (fiscal year) defense spending from 2001 through 2014. The 2013 and 2014 are estimates. The annual base defense budget increased from $287B in FY2001 to $527B by FY2014, a 4.8% compound annual growth rate, excluding supplemental funding directly attributed to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and certain other expenses related to the "War on Terror." The chart shows three series of data:

  • DOD base + 2% inflation: The 2001 base level of spending assuming it kept pace with inflation, which averaged 2% during the period.
  • Increase in DOD base: The increase in the base level of spending above the 2% inflation adjustment.
  • OC or Overseas Contingency Operations: Funding mainly for the Iraq & Afghanistan wars.

So the base spending is the first two statistics.

Source Data

The data from 2001 - 2014 are from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB). The data is contained on page 8 of the OMB document here:

The two documents below have the data for a similar analysis from CBO through 2009; one has the total amounts and the other has additional commentary on amounts spent in the wars, broken out by year.

Here is a similar chart from the DOD for the 2010 budget:
