Notes:

  1. "Full DND Cost" is an indicative estimate of the cost to DND for the operation. It includes incremental costs as well as costs associated with normal military activities (primarily related to salary and wages and depreciation and attrition of equipment). The full cost methodology has been reviewed to ensure consistency with the evolving nature of the mission, resulting in a restatement of FY 2005-2006 and FY 2006-2007 amounts for Operations ATHENA and ARCHER. The FY 2005-2006 full cost amounts are amended to $143,041K for OP ATHENA and $513,642K for OP ARCHER.
  2. "Incremental DND Cost" includes only those additional costs to deploy troops and equipment and to provide ongoing maintenance and support during the operation, e.g. costs to airlift troops and equipment into theatre, accommodation, food and supplies, ammunition repairs and spare parts for equipment and special allowances and pay. These costs are in addition to what DND was already planning to spend on exercises as part of normal activities.
  3. Reimbursement for personnel costs accrues to the Consolidated Revenue Fund (CRF), and reimbursement for Operations and maintenance costs accrues to DND.
  4. OP ALTAIR (Persian Gulf) Unforecast ship deployment.
  5. OP ATHENA and OP ARCHER (Afghanistan): The variance between the planned incremental spending and the actual incremental spending is explained by the Government's decision to extend the enhanced force protection assets from October 2007 to 31 March 2008 and the increased sustainment costs directly attributable to the ongoing tempo of operations in a very remote and undeveloped region.
