Summary

Starting in fiscal year 2027 and every year after, each military department must figure the total cost to replace all its eligible facilities at each installation and then put into its facilities sustainment, restoration, and modernization budget at least a set percentage of that total. The required percentages are 1.75% for FY2027, 2.5% for FY2028, 3.25% for FY2029, and 4% for FY2030 and later. When doing the math, they must leave out any facility planned for demolition in the two years after the calculation. Each department must also send the President’s annual budget a certification that it follows this rule and a list of facilities scheduled for demolition in the next two years with cost and schedule estimates. Defined terms: - Covered facility: a military facility the Department counts, excluding things like closed or to-be-divested sites, leased or partly owned properties, and facilities paid for with nonappropriated or family-housing funds. - Plant replacement value: the cost to replace a covered facility, measured using funds from accounts such as operation and maintenance; military construction; research, development, test, and evaluation; and working capital funds.
