Demonstrates in a clear and powerful way how micro-level churn within programs can occur despite macro-level stability in a large budgetLooks in-depth at how the Pentagon makes its acquisition decisions, how the budget process intersects with acquisition, and how Congress plays a role in all of itSpeaks to students, faculty, researchers, think tanks, and analysts working on budget policy, politics, and defense and security

This book offers a systematic guide to the allocation of American taxpayer dollars used to provide for the common defense. With engaging and illustrative examples like the narrative of a helicopter purchase, it reveals an unexpectedly chaotic political process that produces a conversely stable aggregate defense budget. The book explores specific attempts to control or influence these turbulent funding outcomes as Congress reviews the Presidential budget request. Containing data and sources largely unavailable to researchers without access to the Department of Defense, the book should be of interest to anyone looking for a direct, current, and methodical analysis of defense budget outcomes that preserves the informal and nuanced mechanics of a political and complicated process.
