Preface
This Overview book highlights the funding, programs, and priorities of President
Obama’s FY 2012 Department of Defense (DoD) budget request. The Overview’s
purpose is to help inform Congress and the American people on how taxpayer dollars
are being invested to strengthen our national security.
The Overview book emphasizes the most significant aspects of each year’s budget
request – focusing on changes from previous years and subjects likely to be of high
interest to Congress and the public. It includes discussions not covered sufficiently in
other budget-release products.
This book and extensive other material on this and previous DoD budgets are available
from the public web site of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller):
www.comptroller.defense.gov. Especially relevant is the Press Release and Budget
Briefing. Also key is the Program Acquisition Costs by Weapons System book, which
includes details on major DoD acquisition programs -- e.g., aircraft, ground forces
programs, shipbuilding, space systems, etc. Other background information can be
accessed though www.defense.gov.
Comprehensive information on personnel, capabilities, infrastructure, and more are
available on the web sites of each Military Department: www.army.mil or www.navy.mil
or www.airforce.mil.

Overview – FY 2012 Defense Budget
1. FY 2012 BUDGET SUMMARY
President Obama’s fiscal year (FY) 2012 budget
includes the funding the Department of Defense
(DoD) needs to secure and advance U.S.
security interests around the world in the coming
fiscal year. It continues and intensifies the
reform agenda of Secretary of Defense Robert
Gates – which is seeking to ensure that every
dollar budgeted for defense is invested to
achieve the greatest security value.
The FY 2012 budget and the future plans it
supports build upon the substantial changes that the President and Secretary Gates made in
the previous two budget requests. This year, DoD proposals include greater focus on reforms
for the Department’s organization, infrastructure, and processes. This budget reflects the new
efficiencies and investments DoD plans for FY 2012 – FY 2016, which Secretary Gates
announced on January 6, 2011.
The themes in the FY 2012 budget request are essentially the same as in last year’s request:
• Taking Care of People. (Chapter 3)
• Rebalancing and Enhancing Military Capabilities. (Chapter 4)
• Efficiencies and Reforms. (Chapter 5)
• Supporting our Deployed Troops. (Chapter 6)
As of the release (February 14, 2011) for this new budget, Congress has not enacted any of the
President’s FY 2011 budget request, and DoD is operating under a Continuing Resolution (CR)
through March 4, 2011. Therefore, the Department does not know what its FY 2011
appropriations ultimately will be, and so some of the tables show the annualized CR level and
the President’s Budget (PB) request, rather than an enacted level.
As shown in Figure 1-1, total defense spending is declining as we complete the combat mission
in Iraq. The FY 2012 DoD budget requests a total of $670.9 billion:
• $553.1 billion for the DoD base budget, which excludes funding directly related to overseas
contingency operations (OCO).
• $117.8 billion for OCO requirements, which is $41.5 billion lower than the FY 2011 request.
(Details are in Chapter 6.)

As Secretary Gates explained on January 6, and as discussed in Chapter 5, DoD
accommodated that reduction with $78 billion in savings and changes for FY 2012 – FY 2016.
• Efficiencies in how DoD is staffed, organized, and operated ($54 billion).
• Restructuring and repricing the Joint Strike Fighter program ($4 billion).
• Adjustments to economic assumptions and many other adjustments ($14 billion).
• Reducing the size of our ground forces in FY 2015 – FY 2016 ($6 billion).
TAKING CARE OF PEOPLE
America has asked much of its All-Volunteer Force and the civilians who support that force.
Multiple and extended deployments have taken a toll on our people and their families. As a
nation, we are obligated to take care of our people to the best of our ability. From wartime force
management issues, to recruiting, retention, family support, and Wounded Warrior care, we
must tend to the health of the All-Volunteer Force.
The FY 2012 budget robustly supports DoD efforts to take care of its people. It continues to
improve care for our wounded warriors and to sustain and enhance our Military Health System
and family support programs. It also includes substantial funding to build, renovate, and sustain
excellent facilities for our personnel – including added funding for DoD schools for the children
of military families. See Chapter 3 for details.
REBALANCING AND ENHANCING MILITARY CAPABILITIES
The FY 2012 budget continues progress enhancing our military capabilities and rebalancing
them to create the optimal mix of capabilities needed for current operations and for future
challenges. The budget reflects proposed terminations and restructurings to certain acquisition
programs – continuing the scrutiny and rigorous priority-setting carried out over the last 2 years.
See Chapter 4 for details.
EFFICIENCIES AND REFORMS
Chapter 5 details how DoD is reforming how it does business. It highlights the efficiencies and
new investments that Secretary Gates directed for FY 2012 – FY 2016. It explains how the
Military Services identified $100 billion in savings through changes in their organization,
infrastructure, and weapons systems – and how the Services will invest those savings in high
priority requirements that support the warfighter. The chapter also describes the $78 billion of
DoD savings used for deficit reduction.
SUPPORTING OUR DEPLOYED TROOPS
The FY 2012 budget requests funding needed to support our deployed military and ensure
continued progress in Afghanistan and Iraq. See Chapter 6 for details

Secretary Gates on the FY 2012 Budget
“What is important is to have a budget baseline with a steady, sustainable, and predictable
rate of growth that avoids extreme peaks and valleys in defense spending that can be
enormously harmful to readiness, planning and financial management. This budget
proposal is such a plan: It represents a reasonable, responsible and sustainable level of
defense spending for the next five years. But only with continued reform of business
practices, reductions in overhead, and smarter acquisitions can we can execute this plan
and realize the savings for reinvestment without increasing risk to America’s security – or
hollowing out our military. This plan represents, in my view, the minimum level of defense
spending that is necessary given the complex and unpredictable array of security challenges
the United States faces around the globe – global terrorist networks, rising military powers,
nuclear armed rogue states, and much, much more.”

2. SECURITY CHALLENGES AND STRATEGY
In a complex and dynamic global security
environment, the United States must organize,
train, and equip armed forces to project power
and sustain influence across a wide range of
missions. Today, thousands of U.S. uniformed
personnel are deployed to Afghanistan,
thousands more continue to complete the
military mission in Iraq, and many additional
personnel are at work across the globe deterring
would-be aggressors and building the capacity of
like-minded countries. We must ensure that our
military forces and personnel are prepared and equipped for today’s demanding missions, and
that tomorrow’s military has the capabilities needed to deter and, if necessary, prevail against
future challenges.
The FY 2012 budget – as well as the FY 2012 – FY 2016 defense program which it advances –
reflects priorities outlined in the 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR). It supports ongoing
efforts to prevail in today’s conflicts, prevent and deter potential adversaries from challenging
U.S. interests, prepare U.S. forces for a wide range of contingencies, and preserve and
enhance the force. It also reflects major new efforts to reform how DoD does business.
THREATS AND CHALLENGES
Disparate challenges threaten the stability and well-being of the global system upon which
American and allied security relies. Accordingly, U.S. forces must be adept at confronting
threats ranging from strong states, to weak states, to non-state terrorist and criminal actors. In
Afghanistan and Iraq, the United States will continue to encounter determined and adaptive
adversaries employing weapons ranging from roadside bombs to guided munitions. Moreover,
the spread of advanced technologies will force the United States to develop new ways to project
and sustain power across the globe.
In the face of global economic uncertainty, U.S. allies and partners overseas as well as families
here at home are making hard choices – and so must the Department of Defense. The
Department is redoubling its efforts to reduce overhead, find more efficient ways of operating,
and ensure that the programs in which it is investing are both well managed and aimed at
affordably providing the capabilities most needed by warfighters.
NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY
America’s national security strategy calls for comprehensive global engagement aimed at
underpinning a just and sustainable international order. This strategic approach has its roots in
the central role the United States played in the years following World War II – creating an
architecture of international institutions, organizations, and standards establishing certain rights
and responsibilities for all nations. This international architecture was a critical enabler of
America’s successful Cold War strategy against an ideological adversary, and it remains central
to the maintenance of international order today.
America’s ability to lead stems from the timeless resolve to support liberty, freedom, and open
access to markets and ideas. The United States can only lead when others trust it to carry
forward their best interests, to listen to their concerns, and to conduct itself in line with the
norms and values of the international community.

CHAPTER 2 SECURITY CHALLENGES AND STRATEGY
2-2
Strong and versatile U.S. armed forces are a central element of U.S. strategy and foreign policy.
As the President’s 2010 National Security Strategy states, “The United States remains the only
nation able to project and sustain large-scale military operations over extended distances. We
maintain superior capabilities to deter and defeat adaptive enemies and to ensure the credibility
of security partnerships that are fundamental to regional and global security.”
Also fundamental to U.S. security are strong complementary tools of statecraft, most notably –
diplomatic, development, economic, and intelligence tools. As has become ever clearer in
recent years, the United States is safest when its tools of statecraft are employed together in
support of comprehensive approaches to complex problems. There are few security challenges
that can be met successfully with military force alone. Creating and sustaining a comprehensive
approach remains central to securing and advancing U.S. interests at home and abroad.
U.S. DEFENSE STRATEGY
As defined in the 2010 Quadrennial Defense Review, U.S. defense strategy supports the
National Security Strategy by providing military capabilities that are appropriate to the full range
of challenges confronting U.S. interests and that support other instruments of national power
and influence. In order to help defend and advance our national interests, the Department of
Defense balances resources and risk among four priority objectives:
• Prevail in today’s wars.
• Prevent and deter conflict.
• Prepare for a wide range of contingencies.
• Preserve and enhance the All-Volunteer Force.
These priorities reflect the need for a strategic approach that can evolve and adapt in response
to a changing security environment. An essential complement to these priorities is the
Department’s ongoing plan to reform how it does business and achieve savings that can be
used to advance them.
1. Prevail in today’s wars: We must ensure the success of our forces in the field – in
Afghanistan, Iraq, and around the world. Along with our allies and partners, America has taken
the lead in mounting expanded counterinsurgency operations in Afghanistan and in helping the
governments of Afghanistan and Pakistan to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat Al Qaeda and
eliminate its safe havens. In Iraq, years of effort have helped enable that government to take
the lead in protecting its people and providing essential services. Elsewhere, U.S. forces will
continue to work with partners and allies to identify and dismantle terrorist networks.
2. Prevent and deter conflict: America’s enduring effort to advance common interests without
resort to arms is a hallmark of its stewardship of the international system. Preventing the rise of
threats to U.S. interests requires the integrated use of diplomacy, development, and defense,
along with intelligence, law enforcement, and economic tools of statecraft, to help build the
capacity of partners to maintain and promote stability. This approach also requires working
closely with our allies and partners to leverage existing alliances and create conditions to
advance common interests.
Our deterrent is rooted in land, air, and naval forces capable of fighting limited and large-scale
conflicts against the full range of state and non-state groups in anti-access and irregular
environments engaging. These forces depend on a sustainable global posture and a resilient
basing infrastructure, and are enabled by cyber, space, and ballistic missile defense
capabilities, as well as capabilities to counter weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
前面几章  讲的都是全球安全  阿富汗和伊拉克
budget also supports maintaining strategic deterrence and stability at reduced nuclear force
levels, strengthening regional deterrence and reassuring U.S. allies and partners.
3. Prepare for a wide range of contingencies: If deterrence fails and adversaries challenge
our interests with the threat or use of force, the United States must be prepared to respond
promptly and effectively. Possible contingencies include supporting a response to an attack or
natural disaster at home, defeating aggression by adversary states, supporting and stabilizing
fragile states facing serious internal threats, and preventing human suffering due to mass
atrocities or large-scale natural disasters abroad.
4. Preserve and enhance the All-Volunteer Force: Years of war have significantly stressed
our military personnel and their families. Given the continuing need for substantial and
sustained deployments in conflict zones, DoD must do all it can to take care of its people –
physically and psychologically. For too long, the health of the All-Volunteer Force, the civilian
workforce that supports it, and the processes by which DoD provides needed equipment and
platforms have been underemphasized. The Department has undertaken efforts to make these
processes more efficient and to ensure that such urgent warfighter needs are prioritized. The
prolonged wartime period since 2001 has greatly elevated their importance, and the
consequences of failure have accordingly become more serious. To reflect the urgency that the
DoD leadership places on these issues, they are included as core components of our policy,
planning, and programming considerations.
Successfully balancing these four priority objectives requires the Department to make hard
choices on the level of resources required, as well as accepting and managing risk in a way that
favors success in today’s wars.
CONTINUED REBALANCING OF THE FORCE
Starting in FY 2010 and continuing into the FY 2012 budget, the Department has redirected
resources away from lower-priority programs and activities so that more pressing needs could
be addressed. These adjustments have, at times, required difficult trade-offs. But the
Department has a pressing obligation to make the choices necessary to get the most capability
from the resources available. Therefore, in order to successfully protect and advance U.S.
interests, the Department is continuing to rebalance the capabilities and capacity of America’s
armed forces to better enable success in the following priority mission areas:
• Defend the United States and support civil authorities at home – by sustaining a high
level of vigilance against terrorist threats and readiness to respond to the full range of
potential natural disasters. The FY 2012 – FY 2016 defense program provides resources to
improve our capacity for consequence management and defense support to civil authorities.
with respect to domestic emergency response and domain awareness.
• Succeed in counterinsurgency, stability, and counterterrorism operations – by
retaining the capability to conduct large-scale counterinsurgency, stability, and
counterterrorism operations in a wide range of environments. Our defense program
continues the expansion of essential capabilities, such as: rotary wing transport; long-dwell
intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capacity; and civil affairs.
• Build the security capacity of partner states – by assisting allied and partner states and
ensuring that U.S. forces have ample opportunities to train with and learn from counterpart
forces. Our program further enhances language training, expands DoD’s civilian
expeditionary workforce, funds additional ministry of defense advisors and institutionalizes
rotary wing aviation security force assistance capabilities in the general purpose forces.

这里有个新式武器  英国“伊丽莎白女王”号航母分段合拢


   据海军新闻网站2011年2月14日报道]“伊丽莎白女王”号航母的一个大分段运送至BAE系统公司位于克莱德的高文船厂,在那里它将与另外一个分段合拢,形成下部分段3——中间分段。

    使用一组遥控运输机和20个工人,仅花费了1小时,就将该分段从船厂的一个地方搬运至工棚。

    合拢后的分段将超过9300吨,高23米,宽40米,尽管已非常大,但也仅是机库甲板的下部。

    英国境内的6个船厂,8000名造船工人、技师和工程师都在建造两艘航母的分段,还有数以千计的人员在巨大的供应链上工作,为航母的建造提供相关工具。

    下部分段3的正在实施实施舾装,之后将运往乐赛造船厂,“伊丽莎白女王”号将于2011年末在乐赛造船厂进行组装。   (中国船舶信息中心   尹凡)



   
Deter and defeat aggression – by maintaining a portfolio of capabilities, basing posture,
and regional alliances that together are sufficient to project and sustain military force over
extended distances in the face of anti-access challenges. See Chapter 4 on how the
FY 2012 budget supports required capabilities for power projection, intelligence,
communications, long-range strike, and more.
• Prevent proliferation and counter WMD – by maintaining and enhancing capabilities
designed to detect, interdict, and contain the effects of these weapons. Our program
supports efforts to better understand potential threats and to improve planning and
command and control for operations to track, secure, and reduce dangerous materials.
• Operate effectively in space and cyberspace – by maintaining resilient and reliable
networks that can operate in contested environments. Our program will enhance the
resiliency of key space-based communications systems. To complement the establishment
of U.S. Cyber Command, our program supports initiatives that will strengthen computer
network defenses, enhance training for the cyber workforce, and expand science and
technology efforts relating to military operations in cyberspace.
• Maintain the nuclear and strategic deterrent – by providing credible deterrence through
our nuclear triad and maintaining extended deterrence and assurance to allies. The
ratification and implementation of New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (START) will further
reduce the largest potential nuclear threat to the United States. In combination with efforts
in our defense program to modernize U.S. nuclear forces and upgrade our national nuclear
infrastructure, the treaty provides a basis for greater stability and security in this crucial area
of military competition.
• Enhance ballistic missile defense – to refocus plans and programs to counter regional
threats, while strengthening U.S. homeland defense. Our program expands and accelerates
the fielding of proven capabilities for theater missile defense. Additionally, the Department
is developing and fielding the capabilities needed to implement its phased adaptive
approach for regional missile defense.
