Murray ‘Optimistic’ Army’s Next Future Years Spending Plan Will Protect Full Range Of Modernization

摘要

The Army’s lead modernization official said Wednesday he’s optimistic the service’s next fiveyear spending plan, to be rolled out along with the fiscal year 2023 budget request, will continue to protect the full range of more than 30 modernization programs. While the president’s recently released FY ‘22 budget request left out details on Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) projections, Gen. Mike Murray, head of Army Futures Command, said he doesn’t see the service acting as a “bill payer” in a tight spending environment when the eventual planning guidance is rolled out.
