What the FY2027 request buys
Verbatim from the R-2A exhibit for project 661023 of PE 1206860SF. 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.
To continue storage, refurbishment, inventory control, and demil/disposal of decommissioned Minuteman, Peacekeeper and other missile flight test assets and perform research and development support operations as required. Investigate and develop shipping throughput capacity to maximize opportunity for motor disposal. Continue support activities to include but not limited to sustainment replacement and refurbishment of support equipment, mission support, special studies etc.
FY 2027 decreased to capture cost savings.
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 | 16.1 |
| FY2026 | Enacted | 16.0 |
| FY2027 | Request | 15.8 |
This activity is 79% of project 661023's FY2027 request and 79% of PE 1206860SF'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.
3 activities in project 661023
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.
