1. Purpose. To provide information on the DSG and Defense Budget Priorities
2. Discussion. The Budget Control Act of 2011 dictates a 22% reduction in Defense spending. Recognizing this limitation, the DSG outlines mission priorities that will shape the Joint Force of 2020 over the next decade. The Defense Budget Priorities outlines the allocation budget resources to accomplish the DSG’s priorities.
a. Background. The Budget Control Act of 2011 requires the Department of Defense (DoD) reduce spending by $487 billion over ten years. DoD will realize these savings by drawing down the force following the conclusion of U.S. involvement in Iraq and Afghanistan and by deliberately differing modernization of some capabilities in the near term. …show more content…
DSG. The DSG directs rebalance to smaller more agile force with a primary focus on the Asia-Pacific and a secondary focus on the Middle East. The Joint Force must be shaped to succeed in ten primary missions in order to execute the 2010 National Security Strategy: (1) Counter Terrorism and Irregular Warfare; (2) Deter and Defeat Aggression; (3) Project Power Despite Anti-Access/Area Denial Challenges; (4) Counter Weapons of Mass Destruction; (5) Operate Effectively in Cyberspace and Space; (6) Maintain a Safe, Secure, and Effective Nuclear Deterrent; (7) Defend the Homeland and Provide Support to Civil Authorities; (8) Provide a Stabilizing Presence; (9) Conduct Stability and Counterinsurgency Operations; and (10) Conduct Humanitarian, Disaster Relief, and Other Operations.
c. Defense Budget Priorities. The Defense Budget Priorities outlines resource allocation in order to accomplish the DSG’s mission priorities. In order to achieve these priorities, DoD must invest more structure in the Asia-Pacific while accepting that the force will only be able to defeat an adversary in one theater while denying an adversary in another. Modernization will focus on essential technologies such as Anti-Access/Area Denial defeat capabilities while deferring development and acquisition in other
