American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA)

Overview

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 contains approximately $12 billion in appropriations for the Department of Defense, including $7.4 billion in Defense-related appropriations and $4.6 billion for the Army Corps of Engineers. The Department intends to spend this funding with full transparency and accountability.

As stated on Recovery.gov, the purpose of the Recovery Act is to create and save jobs, jumpstart our economy, and build the foundation for long-term economic growth. The Department of Defense Office of the Inspector General has received $15 million to provide oversight of DoD Recovery Act execution.

Appropriations in this bill are available for obligation through the end of fiscal 2010, and through the end of fiscal 2013 for military construction.

The Recovery Act funding addresses some of the unique economic pressures faced by American service members because of their voluntary commitment to serve our nation. Specific investment in military construction will further President Obama’s goal of providing stimulus to the economy while helping to improve the quality of life for our troops and their families. In addition to providing much needed facility improvements, this bill also provides more funding for important energy research programs so that the DoD can continue to lead the way in the national effort to achieve greater energy independence.
