Below are links to the monthly “Supplemental and Cost of War Execution Reports” compiled by the Defense Accounting Finance Service, DOD’s financial clearinghouse. DFAS began issuing the reports in 2003 at the request of Congress in order to track the monthly rate of money “obligated” for the War on Terror, meaning money that is committed through payments, contracts or orders. DOD reorganized the DFAS reports in 2007 following complaints from Congress that the reports were not transparent enough. TCS obtained the reports through the Freedom of Information Act.
