## What the FY2027 request buys

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.

**FY2026 to FY2027 change.** 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.
