The Department of Defense’s Operation and Maintenance (O&M) programs support the Department’s strategic guidance published January 2012, recognizing the approaching end of a decade of war, a changing technological and geopolitical landscape, and the imperative of deficit reduction. The FY 2014 O&M funding supports a smaller and leaner joint force, that remains agile, flexible, ready, innovative and technologically advanced.

The FY 2014 O&M programs reflect balanced approaches to reduce spending while preserving the force and capabilities that are required to meet the new strategy. This budget continues the effort begun in 2010 to reduce overhead, operational expenses, and personnel costs. The budget decisions reflected in the subsequent exhibits in the O&M Overview Book are in accordance with the following major tenets within the strategic guidance.
