Defense Budget: Analysis of Real Property Maintenance and Base Operations Fund Movements

摘要

The O&M budget structure is multitiered, with each service's O&M request broken down into four budget activities: (1) operating forces, (2) mobilization, (3) training and recruiting, and (4) administration and servicewide support. Generally, the services consider subactivities within the operating forces budget activity to be most directly related to readiness. Unit training subactivities are almost all within the operating forces activity whereas real property maintenance and base operations subactivities are spread across all four of the budget activities.
