What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 001 of PE 0603829J. 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.
Continue the FY 2026 plans.
Reduces contracts for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, “Implementing the President’s Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative.”
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.
Execute joint experimentation and wargaming focused on Joint Force Development (JFD) that enhances the capability of the Joint Staff to provide the Chairman with sound analysis of the future environment, concepts, and joint capabilities. Funds support five main efforts: (1) design, execution and analysis in support of the Globally Integrated Wargame Series. (2) Executing events related to the Campaign Approach to Joint Experimentation such as the Joint Experimentation Forum (JEF) and force design and development events supporting the Joint Warfighting Concept, Joint Fires, Joint Logistics, and Joint Command & Control. (3) Developing the Joint Experimentation Network - Advanced Technologies (JExNet AT) database across federated knowledge platforms, networks, experimentation activities, and various learning events to enable Joint Warfighting Concept. (4) Integrating experimentation with mature capabilities into Elite Constellation events providing a unique opportunity to expose joint warfighters to emerging technologies and develop new innovative concepts of operation. (5) Implementing the Joint Concept for Competing (JCC) in support of the Joint Warfighting Concept. The JCC is a Secretary of War approved conceptual framework that builds the future Joint Force required to realize the 2025 Interim National Defense Strategic Guidance.
Execute joint experimentation and wargaming focused on Joint Force Development (JFD) that will enhance the capability of the Joint Staff to provide the Chairman with sound analysis of the future environment, concepts, and joint capabilities. Funds support three main efforts; (1) Globally Integrated Wargames 25, (2) Experimentation Campaign events necessary such as the Joint Experimentation Forum (JEF) for force design and development events supporting Joint Warfighting Concept, Joint Fires, Joint Logistics, and Joint Command & Control, and (3) Joint Experimentation Network - Advanced Technologies (JExNet AT) database sustainment across federated knowledge platforms, networks, experimentation activities, and various learning events to enable Joint Warfighting Concept.
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 | 11.9 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 13.7 |
| FY2027 | Request | 12.3 |
This activity is 100% of project 001's FY2027 request and 100% of PE 0603829J'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.
