Humanitarian and Civic Assistance: Colombia

The budget for Humanitarian Civic Assistance projects is presented in a yearly report by the Department of Defense. The amounts include "incidental expenses" -- the cost of materials, supplies, and some services. However, the funding listed below does not include costs for transportation, personnel expenses, oil, petroleum, or the repair of equipment. Expenses reported as HCA are only those components of a deployment which are directly related to the project at hand. Thus the dollar amounts categorized as "HCA" are very small when compared with the actual expense of any given deployment.
