1 FY 2012 includes Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) funding Numbers may not add due to rounding
2 FY 2013 and FY 2014 exclude OCO funding
Mobilization (BA-02) includes Airlift Operations, Mobilization Preparedness, and related Base Operating Support and Facilities
Sustainment. Global mobility is achieved through strategic and theater airlift in support of peacetime, contingency, and wartime
operations in pursuit of national objectives. Rapid movement, establishment, and sustainment of combat forces anywhere in the world
to deter and defeat aggression or to provide humanitarian/peacekeeping assistance are a major instrument of US national security
policy. The President, the Secretary of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the military Services and DoD agencies depend heavily on
Air Force mobility operations for essential cargo and troop movement in support of missions worldwide.
Budget Activity 02: Mobilization - Major Program Changes:
The FY 2014 Mobilization budget request of $4,593.8 million represents program growth of $109.2 million ($50.5 million for pricing
changes). The majority of the program increases are due to funding the Airlift Readiness Account ($150.0 million) as well as
increasing weapons system sustainment ($78.1 million and mobility aircraft flying hours ($49.2 million). Program decreases are
highlighted by realignment of a portion of facilities sustainment, restoration and modernization as well as environmental quality
(pollution prevention and environmental conservation and compliance) resources into BA-01, along with other management directed
reductions in contract services, travel and other enabling activities.
