CBO’s Interactive Force Structure Tool

CBO recently calculated the operating costs for every unit in the U.S. armed forces. The agency also developed an interactive tool that lets users add or subtract brigades, ships, aircraft squadrons, and other units in order to visualize the effects on the Department of Defense’s operation and support costs and the size of the military.
