What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 0541 of PE 0605864N. 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 to maintain and operate mission essential/core test support resources, instrumentation systems and marine craft required to meet customer test workload. Fund civilian labor, travel, transportation, equipment, supplies, communication, equipment maintenance, purchased service contracts, annual utilities and any costs necessary to manage and sustain Major Range and Test Facility Base (MRTFB) operations. Reimburse the Command for General and Administrative support services. Continue to support resolution of policy compliance issues resulting from a Naval Sea Systems Command Inspector General/Newport Office of Counsel and Contracting review. Continue potable water treatment, storage and distribution system repairs.
FY 2026 to FY 2027 decrease of $29.395 million is a result of the multi-year phased repair of the potable water treatment, storage and distribution system being in final phase of completion.
FY2026: the year under way
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.

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 | 66.4 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 92.3 |
| FY2027 | Request | 62.9 |
This activity is 84% of project 0541's FY2027 request and 13% of PE 0605864N'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.
