What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project MST-01 of PE 0605001E. 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 to fund Mission Support civilian salaries and benefits to meet mission requirements and administrative support costs.
The FY 2027 decrease reflects civilian pay repricing.
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.
- Continue to fund Mission Support civilian salaries and benefits, including additional technical and support civilian personnel costs for increased mission requirements and administrative support costs.

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 | 80.6 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 79.4 |
| FY2027 | Request | 76.4 |
This activity is 71% of project MST-01's FY2027 request and 71% of PE 0605001E'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.
