What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project P005 of PE 0605126J. 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 FY 2026 plans.
Minor programmatic adjustment.
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 two NIMBLE FIRE events as the Department’s only joint operator-in-the-loop IAMD exercise in support of Golden Dome for America. Implement multi-domain upgrades to the environment to further incorporate capabilities pertaining to space, attack or offensive operations, cyber effects, electronic warfare and unmanned systems. Continued support to other Service or agency events executing within same venue as NIMBLE FIRE events.
Maintain NIMBLE FIRE funding levels to projected costs of executing two NIMBLE FIRE events and multi-domain upgrades to the environment. Increased support to other Service or agency events executing within same venue as NIMBLE FIRE events. Multi-domain primarily refers to space, attack or offensive operations, cyber effects, electronic warfare and unmanned systems.
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 | 27.3 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 30.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 28.4 |
This activity is 100% of project P005's FY2027 request and 41% of PE 0605126J'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 project page.
