Estimated Costs of U.S.
Operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and of Other Activities Related
to the War on Terrorism
At the request of the Chairman of this Committee, the Congressional
Budget Office (CBO) has tabulated the funding provided through July
2007 for military and diplomatic operations in Iraq and
Afghanistan, and for other activities related to the war on
terrorism, as well as for related costs incurred by the Department
of Veterans Affairs (VA) for medical care, disability compensation,
and survivors’ benefits. CBO has also estimated the budgetary
resources needed to finance the recent increase in the number of
troops deployed to Iraq and has projected the total cost over the
next 10 years of funding operations in support of the war on
terrorism under scenarios specified by the Chairman.
Funding to Date
Since September 2001, the Congress has appropriated $602 billion
for military operations and other activities related to Iraq,
Afghanistan, and the war on terrorism. In addition, although not
explicitly appropriated for that purpose, an estimated $2 billion
has been spent by the VA for war-related benefits. Specific
appropriations, which averaged about $93 billion a year from 2003
through 2005, have risen to $120 billion in 2006 and $170 billion
in 2007.
