One-time capital/setup costs are approximately $1.53 billion driven by global fortified bases, infrastructure retrofits, vehicles/aircraft, satellites and a contingency reserve. Annual recurring costs are approximately $1.49 billion per year, dominated by personnel compensation and ongoing R&D, medical, surveillance and logistics.

📋 Confidence Notes
Analyst-provided line-item estimates are detailed and internally consistent for budgeting, producing moderate confidence in nominal cost magnitudes; uncertainty remains around incident frequency, scale of catastrophic events, and political/legal variability, so overall confidence is medium.
