§2680 Minimum Capital Investment for Facilities Sustainment, Restoration, and Modernization for Military Departments

Summary

Starting in fiscal year 2027, each military department must figure the total cost to replace all its covered facilities at each base and then put into its budget a set minimum share of that total to fund sustainment, restoration, and modernization. The required shares are 1.75 percent for FY2027, 2.5 percent for FY2028, 3.25 percent for FY2029, and 4 percent for FY2030 and later. Do not count any facility that is planned for demolition during the two years after the calculation. When each department sends its annual budget to the President, it must certify to the congressional defense committees that it follows these rules and include a list of facilities scheduled for demolition in the next two years with cost and schedule estimates. Covered facility: a Department facility, except ones closed, being divested, not fully owned (for example leased), or funded by nonappropriated funds or military family housing money. Plant replacement value: the cost to replace a covered facility using funds from the four accounts named for operations, construction, research and development, and working capital.
