19Dec_Schweers_Agyeman.pdf (696.0Kb)Abstract
The ability of the Department of Defense to maintain its readiness has been impacted by sustained combat operations due to the global war on terror. Compounding this problem further, Congress has created a climate of fiscal uncertainty through multiple congressional budgetary actions. These actions include the Budget Control Act (BCA) of 2011, Bipartisan Budget Act amendments, and Continuing Resolutions. The objective of this project is to determine the financial impacts these actions have had on the Marine Corps’ budget requests and execution since the enactment of the BCA.
This project covers a 10-year period from fiscal year 2009 to 2018 which incorporates three fiscal years prior to the enactment of the BCA. Budget requests from the DoD as well as the Marine Corps were utilized in order to analyze the effects of the legislative actions. Analysis shows that the Marine Corps’ budget requests for its Operating Forces trends the same as the DoD base budget. Regarding budget execution, a direct link to unobligated balances and legislative actions could not be determined.
