The FYDP is compiled every year and typically completed during the programming phase of the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process. The program is updated during the budgeting phase to reflect DOD's final funding decisions presented in the annual President's budget request. The FYDP captures resource management decisions for projected DOD activities associated with normal, peacetime operations. Grouping funding by programs-rather than activities, as depicted in the annual budget justification documents the FYDP reflects the planned allocation of DOD resources to major strategic efforts over a multiyear period. The FYDP projects DOD funding, manpower, and force structure needs over a five-year period. The program is typically depicted with defense resources for the two previous fiscal years and force structure estimates for the three subsequent fiscal years. For example, the FY2020 FYDP reflects FY2018 and FY2019 appropriations, the current budget year estimate (FY2020) as part of the five- year program (FY2020-FY2024), and the estimated force structure through FY2027. See Figure 1. Figure I. FY2020 FYDP . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Source: CRS graphic based on DOD Directive 7045.14. Section 221 of Title 10, United States Code, requires the Secretary of Defense to submit the FYDP to Congress in conjunction with the President's budget request. The FYDP is generally submitted to the congressional committees with jurisdiction over defense matters. While the data structure of the FYDP is unclassified, the actual FYDP data is classified. The FYDP is structured as a database which links DOD resources (or inputs) to programs (or outputs). As such, the FYDP can serve to compare or crosswalk the department's output-focused internal review structure with the input- focused congressional review structure. The FYDP tracks the three broad categories of resources available to the DOD as its inputs: Total Obligatory Authority (TOA) - Appropriated funding, in thousands of dollars; Manpower- Military endstrength and civilian full-time equivalent work years; and Forces - Identified as either items of equipment or combat units. FYDP outputs are currently grouped under 12 Major Force Programs (MFPs). An MFP is an aggregation of the resources (TOA, Manpower, and Forces) necessary to achieve DOD's objective or plans. Currently, six of the MFPs are considered combat force programs and six are considered support programs. MFP 01 * - Strategic Forces MFP 02* - General Purpose Forces MFP 03* - Command, Control, Communications, Intelligence, and Space MFP 04* - Mobility Forces MFP 05* - Guard and Reserve Forces MFP 06 - Research and Development MFP 07 - Central Supply and Maintenance MFP 08 - Training, Medical, & Other Personnel Activities MFP 09 - Administration and Associated Activities MFP 10 - Support of Other Nations MFP I1* - Special Operations Forces MFP 12 - National Security Space *Combat force programs The FYDP database allows a user to identify, sort, and display DOD plans and programs in three dimensions: component (military service or defense agency); MFP; and appropriation title (e.g., military personnel, procurement, and military construction).
