§2473 — Title 10 Armed Forces | U.S. Code

Summary

Each military department Secretary must include a five-year plan to improve depot infrastructure when sending the President’s annual budget under 31 U.S.C. 1105(a) to the defense committees of Congress. The plan must describe the main efforts, milestones, and concrete goals for the next five fiscal years and say how those goals tie to section 359(b)(1)(B) of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020 (Public Law 116–92). It must give cost estimates and explain how those costs will be handled in that year’s DoD budget and the future-years defense program, describe needed environmental and engineering studies, and show the project schedule to keep operations running. Each plan must follow results-focused management practices from the Comptroller General’s report GAO–19–242 (or a successor report). That means using analytic goals, measurable metrics, and clear listings of required resources, risks, and stakeholders, plus regular progress reports to decision makers.
