What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project CP8 of PE 0605233A. 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.
Key FY 2027 activities include scaled deployment of approximately 22K Enlisted Recruiting users while continuously delivering enhancements for the Enlisted Mission under the overall Accessions Support effort. Additionally, start planning and development of ROTC and In Service and Direct Commission missions. Continuous integration and delivery to the production environment, backlog development, exploratory and automated regression testing, cybersecurity assessments, and deployment support as part of agile development.
FY2027 increase supports continuous development activities associated with overall AIE mission areas.
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.
Key FY 2026 activities include continuous program planning sessions associated with iterative development to complete the Enlisted Recruiting Mission capability, release to the production environment, backlog development, break fixes, exploratory and automated regression testing, cybersecurity assessments, and deployment support as part of agile development.
Key FY 2025 activities include quarterly sprint planning sessions associated with the Enlisted Recruiting Mission capability and associated enhancements, backlog development, recruiter provisioning, deployment support, exploratory and automated testing, and cybersecurity assessments.
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 | 33.0 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 28.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 29.3 |
This activity is 87% of project CP8's FY2027 request and 87% of PE 0605233A'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.
