Book excerpt: Carrying out the plans proposed in the President¿s 2010 budget request, excluding overseas contingency operations, would require defense resources averaging $567 billion annually from 2011 to 2028. That amount is about 6% more than the $534 billion in total obligational authority the Admin. requested in its regular 2010 budget. Four main factors account for the higher resources required in the long term: The likelihood of continued real growth in pay and benefits for DoD¿s military and civilian personnel; The projected increases in the costs of oper. and maint. for aging equip.; DoD¿s plans to develop and field advanced weapon systems; and Investments in new capabilities to meet emerging security threats.
