§2680 — Title 10 Armed Forces | U.S. Code

Summary

Starting in fiscal year 2027 and every year after, each military department leader must figure the total cost to replace the department’s covered facilities on each base and put at least a set percentage of that total into the budget for facility care, repair, and upgrades. Do not count any facility that is scheduled for demolition in the two years after the calculation. The minimum percentages are 1.75% for FY2027, 2.5% for FY2028, 3.25% for FY2029, and 4% for FY2030 and later. When the President sends the yearly budget to Congress, each department must say it is following this rule and provide a list (by base and location) of facilities planned for demolition in the next two years, with cost and timing estimates. Covered facility: a facility the Department uses, except ones that are closed, being divested, not fully owned by the Department (for example, leased or only a partial ownership right), or paid for with nonappropriated funds or military family housing funds. Plant replacement value: the cost to replace a covered facility using money from these accounts: Operation and Maintenance; Military Construction; Research, Development, Test, and Evaluation; and Working Capital Funds.
