Summary:
On February 12, 2018, President Trump submitted his fiscal
year (FY) 2019 budget request to Congress. In developing
the annual budget request, the Office of the Secretary of
Defense (OSD) consolidates the military construction
projects lists from the military departments and various
defense agencies into a single submission, which it then
forwards to the Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
as part of the overall defense budget request for the
upcoming fiscal year. The highest priority projects that will
fit within the budgetary guidance provided by OMB will be
included in the President’s request. The approved projects
assigned a lower priority are slated for funding in future
years and are typically included in the Future Years
Defense Program (FYDP), which is a catalogue that
summarizes the forces, resources, and programs associated
with DOD operations over a five-year period.
