What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 792 of PE 0603007A. This is the budget justification's own description of work that has not happened yet — the one thing no other level of the budget carries.
Will conduct research to advance prototype assessments of officer and enlisted Soldiers for enhanced Talent Management; advance analytic and modeling techniques to provide more efficient mean of developing assessments; develop and validate competency growth models, assessments, and interventions to enhance complex leader competencies required for large scale combat operations; advance development of tailored self-development training tools.
FY 2027 funding decrease due to delayed development of critical talent management interventions and reduced comprehensiveness of competency growth models across careers and job categories.
FY2025–FY2026: what came before
Prior-year accomplishments and current-year plans from the same exhibit. Context for the FY2027 plan, not a series — an activity partitions its project exactly in the request year, but can under-cover it in earlier years.
Will advance prototype development and mature longitudinal validation of officer talent management assessments; will advance validation of prototypes of automated test item generation for knowledge tests.
Will mature prototype development and initiate longitudinal validation of officer talent management assessments; will validate prototypes of automated test item generation for knowledge tests; will mature research on methods to develop complex leader competencies; will develop small unit performance training methods.
Three years, and no five-year plan
An R-2A activity publishes the prior year, the current year and the budget year. The FYDP outyears exist at project and program-element level and are deliberately absent here rather than inferred. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure.
| Fiscal Year | Estimate Type | Amount ($M) |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | Actual | 14.7 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 13.6 |
| FY2027 | Request | 11.1 |
This activity is 100% of project 792's FY2027 request and 100% of PE 0603007A's. In the request year the activities under a project sum to it exactly; in the current year they under-cover it in about 9% of cases, so an activity's delta can legitimately exceed its parent's and the two must not be compared row to row.

Every R-2A line of this project, largest FY2027 request first. Linked where the activity has enough of its own narrative to carry a page; the rest are shown in full on the program-element page.
