The Army’s Costs to Eliminate Its Deferred Maintenance Backlog and to Renovate and Modernize Its Buildings
Presentation
Presentation by Adebayo Adedeji, an analyst in CBO’s National Security Division, at the 2023 Conference of the Western Economic Association International.
In a report released in November 2022, the Congressional Budget Office analyzed roughly 49,000 buildings in use on Army bases in the United States that the Army’s active component is responsible for maintaining. CBO then estimated the costs of eliminating the maintenance backlog and returning the buildings to standards matching the Department of Defense’s goals and of renovating and modernizing the buildings within their current footprint to fully provide users with the capability to fulfill their missions. This presentation summarizes the findings of that report.
