Summary:

The Defense Department (DOD) participated in contingency operations in several places during fiscal year 1995, including Haiti, Southwest Asia, and the former Yugoslavia. To help cover the incremental costs of these operations, Congress provided DOD with a supplemental appropriation. This report provides information on (1) the extent to which the supplemental appropriation fully covered DOD's incremental costs and the impact that funding shortages or overages may have had on the services and (2) the accuracy of the methods used to estimate incremental costs compared with actual costs and ways to improve the method of estimating costs.
