The Department of Defense (DoD) has become increasingly engaged in development activities over the past ten years through the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the broader counterterrorism effort. While the development community points to the links between poverty and U.S. security threats to justify increasing aid budgets, the Pentagon has shifted its priorities and resources to increase its engagement with the developing world. David Jea, a CGD visiting associate on leave from the U.S. State Department, presents data on DoD’s evolving authorities, programs, personnel, and budgets, shedding light on the current civilian military imbalance and its possible implications.
