Todd Harrison of the Center for Strategic and Budgetary Assessments says the move is another indication DOD plans to submit its 2016 proposal above the Budget Control Act caps. “I think DOD made a lot of hard choices to fit within the caps for FY15, and they have not found many partners in Congress to help them enact those choices,” he tells Morning D. “There is a sense now that the department has done its share of the work and it’s up to Congress to do its part by either raising the caps or making some hard choices itself.”
