Models based on a logic relating military ownership costs to active force assets were developed. Historical budget analyses provided relationships to tailor the models to each military service. The models, validated through projection of the 1980-85 defense growth period, were then used to predict 1986 to 1995 appropriations using top line fiscal levels as inputs. The models can explore policy options such as reduced fiscal growth, altered readiness policy, and changed innovation plans.
