The authors describe the various types of expenditures required to maintain bases and military units overseas and estimate current costs using official data and econometric modeling. They provide a cost model of overseas presence for policymakers to weigh alternative posture options. Their main findings are that while it does cost more to maintain force structures and installations overseas rather than in the United States, the total cost of doing so for the Air Force's current overseas posture is small relative to the Air Force's overall budget.Air bases, AmericanCostsUnited StatesMilitary planningMilitary & Naval ScienceHILCCLaw, Politics & GovernmentHILCCAir ForcesHILCCAir bases, AmericanCostsMilitary planning.Military & Naval ScienceLaw, Politics & GovernmentAir Forces358.4/170681Mills Patrick1975-1242669Project Air Force (U.S.),PQKBBOOK9910219975503321A cost analysis of the U.S. Air Force overseas posture : informing strategic choices2882760UNINA
