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.
The U.S. Department of Defense has estimated the cost of the Gulf War at $61 billion. Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states covered $36 billion while Germany and Japan covered $16 billion. Still, as a percent of Gross Domestic Product (0.3%), Desert Storm was the cheapest war fought in U.S. history. The greater cost of the war to the region was likely more than $676 billion.
