Deci-. Deci- (symbol d) is a decimal unit prefix in the metric system denoting a factor of one tenth. Proposed in 1793[1] and adopted in 1795, the prefix comes from the Latin decimus, meaning tenth. Since 1960, the prefix is part of the International System of Units (SI).
In response, CBO published Projected Costs of U.S. Nuclear Forces, 2014 to 2023. The National Defense Authorization Act of 2015 (P.L. 113-291) requires CBO to periodically update its estimate of the cost of nuclear forces. This report constitutes the first such update. CBO estimates that over the 2015â2024 period, the Administrationâs plans for nuclear forces would cost $348 billion, an average of about $35 billion a year, and an amount that is close to CBOâs December 2013 estimate of $355 billion for the 2014â2023 period.
New figures released by the Defense Department provide the first detailed breakdown of costs associated with what has mainly been an air war against ISIS. Daily flight operations have cost $1.501 billion -- or 55 percent of the total amount of $2.74 billion. Both the Air Force and Navy conduct airstrikes in Iraq and Syria, but Air Force costs make up 67 percent of the $2.74 billion spent so far, according to the figures released. A similar percentage is reflected in the average daily cost, where Air Force costs make up $6.1 million of the $9.1 million spent daily. The figures also show that $646 million has been spent on the munitions used against ISIS. The American strategy against ISIS also includes missions to train the Iraqi military and moderate Syrian rebels.
