What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project T05 of PE 0605013A. 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.
FY 2027 funding will be used to award a follow-on contract to fund agile sprint teams in support of continuous development of analytical and reporting capabilities within Army Vantage and development of the transactional and data layer within the GFIM Objective Environment (OE), which will allow for subsumption of the following legacy systems: Force Management System (FMS), FMS Web, and Structure and Manpower Allocation System (SAMAS).
FY 2027 funding increase due to acceleration of development process in FY 2027 over FY 2026.
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.
FY 2026 funding will be used to award a Prototype OTA to develop the initial prototype of the GFIM Objective Environment (OE), including capabilities that currently exist in the Army Organization Structure (AOS) system, as well as the Modified Table of Organization and Equipment (MTOE) and Table of Distribution and Allowances (TDA) modules of the Force Management System (FMS). Additionally, the program will continue to focus on migrating over reporting capabilities over to Army Vantage. These capabilities will deliver an enterprise solution that will more efficiently and effectively align and prepare forces and infrastructure, conduct mobilization, deployment, and employment activities, as well as re-deployment and demobilization activities.
FY 2025 funding will be used to continue development of the GFIM Objective Environment (OE) to provide an automated global force management solution for the Army's Deploy to Redeploy and Retrograde (D2RR) business process. Activities include development and initial deployment of the Provide the Current Force (PCF) capability as well as bring the Define the Future Force (DFF) Minimum Viable Capability Release (MVCR) to a production ready and deployable state. These capabilities will deliver an enterprise solution that will more efficiently and effectively align and prepare forces and infrastructure, conduct mobilization, deployment, and employment activities, as well as re-deployment and demobilization activities. The program is utilizing the Scaled Agile Framework (SAFe) development methodology enabling incremental release of capability to the user community. We will continue to deliver capability in alignment with Army goals for future sunset of legacy Force Management systems, target first quarter FY 2027.
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 | 11.6 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 12.8 |
| FY2027 | Request | 15.9 |
This activity is 18% of project T05's FY2027 request and 13% of PE 0605013A'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.
