"In fiscal year 2015, the Department of Defense (DoD)
spent a total of roughly $390 billion on operation and
support (O&S) of military units. The O&S budget covers
the costs associated with the day-to-day running of
units. Those costs include pay and benefits for military
personnel, compensation for most civilian employees,
health care costs for military and civilian personnel, and
the daily expenses of operating a unit, such as equipment
maintenance, training, support contractors, and so on.
The O&S budget makes up about two-thirds of DoD’s
