Program/Price Growth. The FY 2008 budget request for the Marine Corps Reserve increases by $0.9 million from the FY 2007
level. This increase includes a net $4.4 million for price growth and a net program decrease of $3.5 million.
Program Discussion. The FY 2008 request supports manpower levels of 39,600 military end strength and 210 civilian full-time
equivalents. After price growth, the majority of program decrease is due to a delay by one year for the replenishment and replacement
of Initial Issue items to include items such as improved load-bearing equipment and special purpose shelters.
The FY 2008 budget request includes an increase associated with a raise in estimated Defense Financial Accounting Service billings
and an increase in management support costs for Marine Corps Total Force Structure (MCTFS).
