CBO Releases an Improved Interactive Tool for Analyzing the Military’s Forces and Resources

CBO has enhanced its interactive tool for analyzing the U.S. military’s force structure. The tool now lets users alter the total defense budget to see the possible effects on military forces, as well as letting users alter the number of major units to see the effects on the budget. CBO has also created a tutorial to show how the tool’s new functionality can be used to explore various types of policy choices.
