What project 312 buys
This project supports current and future concepts and capabilities development, design and integration in support of the Army Vision and Army Modernization Strategy. Experimentation focuses on the latest Army Warfighting Concept, operational and organizational concepts to validate and provide insights to develop and design the future Army. Live, virtual, and constructive environments explore concepts, capability, and formation requirements. Potential solutions across Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, and Facilities (DOTMLPF) domains are developed. 3 x Concept Focused Warfighting Experiment (CFWE) assessments (C2 and Counter C2, Cross Domain Fires, Expanded Maneuver) in order to inform the development of new capabilities and requirements. assessments executed in the field with human participants with emerging technology to emulate relevant threat assessments. These efforts result in lessons learned and mitigate risk for current and future forces. Experiments and multi-scale assessments inform Army future concepts and assess high-risk conceptual assumptions in order to focus required capabilities, formations and represent user requirements in the future Army. Experiments use the combined resources of Army Battle Laboratories, operating force units, research laboratories, materiel developers, concept developers industry, and academia to collaborate in the development, refinement, and assessment of future force concepts, capabilities and Army formations. This project also supports the Army's Simulation-Based Experiments (SIMEX) and Table Top Exercises (TTX) to integrate and assess near, mid, and far-term future force concepts, force designs, and Future capabilities.
Project 312 funding, FY2025–FY2031
Prior years are actuals, the budget year is the request, and the outyears are the FYDP plan. Estimate types are colored and never summed into one figure. Projects carry the full five-year plan; the activities inside them stop at the budget year.

The R-2A exhibit — the only level of the budget that describes work that has not happened yet. Activities carry the prior, current and budget year only, no five-year plan. Each describes FY2027 work in enough detail to have its own page; the rest are shown here in full. Coverage is partial across the corpus, so count activities, never total them.
Funding enables FCC/USAJMC to conduct Persistent Experimentation and other Live Field Experimentation activities, funds 27 CMEs, and travel associated with assigned experimentation events. FY27 funding enables FCC/USAJMC to lead the 3 x Concept Focused Warfighting Experiment (CFWE) assessments (C2 and Counter C2, Cross Domain Fires…
