What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project PC1 of PE 0605326A. 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.
Continues PC/Capstone IAW Army priorities to aggressively advance solutions in the areas of people, weapons systems, command and control, information, and terrain, and integrates the Army's contribution to Joint All Domain Operations. Through experimentation and learning, PC helps ensure that the Army has the war-fighting concept and formations to support the Joint fight. PC ensures the Joint and Multinational force can rapidly and continuously integrate or converge effects across all domains through intelligence gathering, data sharing, inter-operable systems to decide and act more rapidly against adversaries in competition, crisis, and conflict. PC/Capstone experiments on ways to defeat our pacing threat in the Indo-Pacific and the five key functions the Army performs in this theater: building and defending bases, command and control for Combined Joint Force (CJF), sustaining logistical supply lines, offensive and defensive cross domain fires through long-range precision strikes, and counter-attack forces. In addition, PC/Capstone experiments against near-peer adversary in the European theater, against which the CJF demonstrates pulsed operations to enable a land-centric, exploitation. PC/Capstone focuses on the future Army with the immediate need to integrate select technologies into Army 2030 to keep the Army ahead of our peers and on the leading edge of development. These experiments help the Army evaluate emerging concepts, new formations, integrate new capabilities, and promote interoperability between the Army, other services and multinational partners.
FY 2027 funding decrease due to economic adjustments.
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.

Project Convergence ensures the Joint and Multinational force can rapidly and continuously integrate to converge effects across all domains through intelligence gathering, data sharing, interoperable systems to decide and act more rapidly against adversaries in competition and conflict. PC/Capstone is part of the Army's intent to achieve a full Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) capability by 2035.

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 | 20.8 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 15.1 |
| FY2027 | Request | 14.6 |
This activity is 100% of project PC1's FY2027 request and 26% of PE 0605326A'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.
