Summary

The Secretary of the Air Force must use two kinds of yearly defense-authorized money for upkeep and repairs at Air Force installations: research/development/test funds and operation/maintenance funds. Either type can be used at any installation, no matter which fund usually supports that base. The Secretary may not mix those two fund types on the same individual repair project. RDT&E funds: money for research, development, test, and evaluation. O&M funds: money for operation and maintenance.
