Per the CBO Blog
"Although the Administrations 2010 budget planned for an increase in U.S. service members in Afghanistan from 59,000 to 68,000, neither that budget nor CBOs projection anticipated the further increase of 30,000 troops in Afghanistan. (See CBOs recent analysis of the funding needed to support an additional 30,000 troops in Afghanistan.)"
