My first thought was in an age of sequestration where did OSD come up with $1B, then I remembered business inside the beltway SFC Joe S. Davis Jr., MSM, DSL in the final quarter of the fiscal year.
Funds are "fenced" in OSD by appropriation category. The USAF and OSD is focused on big-ticket and high tech solutions which costs lots of money because they learned the too big to fail rules long before Obama came into office. If the F-35 program failed that would ripple through DoD and the administration and Congress which each have vested interests in the "success" of the program.
