The rest went for unplanned activities, such as responding to natural disasters and civil unrest, and planned activities budgeted by the Defense Department (DOD), such as support for the Boy Scout Jamboree. GAO notes that annual funding for congressionally-directed activities has increased dramatically of late--from 0.5 percent of the overall defense budget in fiscal year 1990 to 1.8 percent in fiscal year 1993. Military officials are concerned that readiness and capability could be harmed if DOD's role in these activities continues to grow significantly. DOD has begun to study the issue and develop military doctrine to govern these activities. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-94-41/html/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-94-41.htm GAO/NSIAD-94-41 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-NSIAD-94-41 Letter Report GAO/NSIAD-94-41; DOD Budget: Department of Defense Support for Domestic Civil Activities; Defense contingency planning Combat readiness Defense budgets Domestic assistance Appropriated funds Disaster relief aid Interagency relations Medical research Human resources utilization Counterintelligence operations Hurricane Iniki Los Angeles (CA) Airborne Warning and Control System Somalia AWACS
