5 juillet<\/a> :<\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00abThe next U.S. president will face a defense-budget quagmire, former government officials say, with one estimating the Pentagon may need up to $100 billion for as-yet-unplanned efforts to repair and replace war-worn arms and gear after the Iraq war ends.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbMilitary leaders already have spent billions, but ground vehicles and other military equipment will require more maintenance work than initially planned. The Pentagon could face a bill of up to $100 billion for additional reset costs, dollars that are still unprogrammed, Jeffrey Bialos of Johns Hopkins University said at a June 29 event sponsored by the American Security Project think tank. Maintenance costs will likely squeeze modernization accounts.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbBialos has held several high-level federal posts, including a stint as deputy undersecretary of defense for industrial affairs from September 1999 through January 2001.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbAny such squeezing, however, will make things difficult for the next inhabitant of the White House, not President George W. Bush, former officials say.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbArmy equipment and vehicles used in Iraq are wearing out five times to six times faster than originally anticipated, said Brookings Institution military analyst Peter Singer. Two-thirds of the Army’s brigade combat teams, Singer said, are not ready for combat at any given time. And yet it’s business-as-usual on big-ticket weapons under development, he said.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/p>\n\t\u00bbGordon Adams, a Clinton-era official in the Office and Management and Budget, painted a bleak picture for the 2008 and successive defense budgets. Among the issues buried in the budget and yet to be accounted for are a huge bill for reset coming and creeping O&M costs.<\/em>\u00bb<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
