Not simply the 'increased cost' of the units deployed. (For example, the 1st ID costs a set amount regardless of if they are in garrison at Ft Riley or deployed...... The deployment costs an additional amount for transporting them to the war zone, paying combat pay (and the costs of additional ammo and fuel above that which was budgeted for training mission)


How would you have calculated it?
