New Reprogrammings

InsideDefense.com reported yesterday that the Defense Department is seeking congressional permission to shift $571.4 million in fiscal year 2012 spending to fund a raft of programs deemed "urgent warfighter" needs, including two Army programs to defeat Taliban tactics in Afghanistan and more than a dozen projects to enhance airborne surveillance and intelligence capabilities. Further:

Robert Hale, the Pentagon comptroller, recently sent lawmakers four previously unreported reprogramming requests to fund programs -- including a handful of new starts -- that were neither authorized nor appropriated in the FY-12 budget. Each would meet an "urgent" operational need.

Hale asked to shift $285.2 million on Jan. 26; $124 million and $48.1 million Feb. 3; and $114.1 million on Feb. 7. Each item in each reprogramming request must be approved by the House and Senate defense authorization and appropriations panels.

We now have the reprogramming requests:

DOD 2/7/2012 Reprogramming Request For ISR Programs

DOD 2/3/2012 Reprogramming Request For Intel Support To Cyber

DOD 2/3/2012 Reprogramming Request For The AIAMD System

DOD 1/26/2012 Reprogramming Request For PGK Fuzes
