USA Defence Budget
On February 2012 US Department of Defense (DoD) went through a complicated process to establish and finalize its budget for the financial year 2013. According to it the $525.4 billion base budget provides a reduction of $5.2 billion from the financial year 2012 budget. In this amount we should add the incremental costs of Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), including ongoing efforts in Afghanistan and support for the Office of Security Cooperation in Iraq, which are funded separately in the financial year 2013 budget and amount at $88.5 billion, a decrease of $26.6 billion from the financial year 2012 enacted level.
