The Congressional Research Service in October of 2008 provided a report for congress on the expenditures on the War on Terror:

  • “Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) covering Afghanistan and other Global War on Terror (GWOT) operations ranging from the Philippines to Djibouti that began immediately after the 9/11 attacks and continues”
  • Enhanced Security is for “Operation Noble Eagle (ONE) providing enhanced security for U.S. military bases and other homeland security that was launched in response to the attacks and continues at a modest level”
  • Iraq is for “Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) that began in the fall of 2002 with the buildup of troops for the March 2003 invasion of Iraq and continues with counter-insurgency and stability operations”
  • FY01 is 2001, FY02 is 2002, etc.
