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. 606 $aAir bases, American$xCosts$zUnited States 606 $aMilitary planning 606 $aMilitary & Naval Science$2HILCC 606 $aLaw, Politics & Government$2HILCC 606 $aAir Forces$2HILCC 615 0$aAir bases, American$xCosts 615 0$aMilitary planning. 615 7$aMilitary & Naval Science 615 7$aLaw, Politics & Government 615 7$aAir Forces 676 $a358.4/170681 700 $aMills$b Patrick$f1975-$01242669 712 02$aProject Air Force (U.S.), 801 0$bPQKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910219975503321 996 $aA cost analysis of the U.S. Air Force overseas posture : informing strategic choices$92882760 997 $aUNINA
