Summary:

The costs of deploying U.S. troops in and around Bosnia as part of international peacekeeping operations spanning fiscal years 1996 and 1997 could exceed the Defense Department's (DOD) initial estimate of $3 billion by more than $450 million, and further increases are possible. DOD has so far deployed about 22,000 troops to Bosnia and surrounding countries in an effort to end years of hostilities in the former Yugoslavia. DOD's costs for fiscal year 1997 will likely exceed the current estimates and depend heavily on upcoming decisions on force requirements and redeployment.
