The Cost of Supporting Military Bases

Congressional Budget Office

No 55849, Reports from Congressional Budget Office

Abstract: The Department of Defense (DoD) operates hundreds of military bases and similar installations that host military units and support their daily operations, providing services such as housing, utilities, and grounds maintenance. In 2016, the four service branches allocated $25 billion—about 4 percent of DoD’s budget—to the costs of such services, called base operations support (BOS).
