00:00We have not yet received from the Pentagon the costs of the war, so just for the record, we'd like
00:06to get that as soon as possible.
00:08Certainly the munitions expended, but also underreported is we've had a fair amount of equipment destroyed, including two C-130s
00:16with the rescuer of our downed airmen.
00:18So do you have either A, a cost estimate coming to us anytime soon, or B, a specific supplemental request?
00:27Thank you for that question. So approximately, at this day, we're spending about $25 billion on Operation Epic Fury.
00:35Most of that is munitions. Part of that is obviously O&M and equipment replacement.
00:39We will formulate a supplemental through the White House that will come to Congress once we have a full assessment
00:44of the cost of the conflict.
00:46So you're saying the full cost at this point is $25 billion?
00:49Yeah, that's our estimate for the cost.
00:50Okay.
