The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.
● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.

Asked vs spent: the PB2021 book requested $13.2M for FY2021; the PB2023 book reported $10.7M as actual total obligation authority — $2.44M below the request. 10.73 − 13.17 = -2.44 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Mission — Budget and Program Assessments
This program supports the Department's initiatives to Deter Aggression, Defend the Homeland, and Build Sustainable and Long-Term Advantage. This program supports the Office of the Director, Cost Assessment & Program Evaluation (CAPE) by funding assessments that help to resolve budget and programmatic issues across the full range of the Department’s activities. Projects that support this effort help to inform leadership on program alternatives, capability concept development, design and cost, as well as the appropriate balance of capabilities across the force. They also help to identify how well the Department is meeting its expenditure goals, and how well the force can implement the interim National Defense Strategy. These RDT&E resources support critical studies and analyses to assist senior DoD leaders in optimally balancing the lethality, partnership, and reform levels of effort to carry out the interim National Defense Strategy. This program provides for analytical research across the entire spectrum of defense issues and concerns. The research agenda focuses on near to long-term problems identified by the Secretary of Defense, addressing difficult and complex questions linked to program alternatives for current and future capabilities and forces in order to enhance senior leadership's deliberations and decision-making. This program provides the scientific and technical engineering services needed for research studies in the development of models and simulations and the evaluation of current analytical tools and scientific methods used to evaluate and assess weapons systems and warfighting capabilities for warfighting environments and scenarios, and related force structure. Deliverables from this program will include reports, briefings, and analyses designed to illuminate critical issues facing the Department. Outcomes include recommendations for new modeling techniques, programmatic alternatives, and scenario development. The FY 2024 budget proposal continues resources to support the Enterprise Visibility and Maintainability of Operation and Support Costs (EVAMOSC). EVAMOSC supports CAPE's responsibility to develop and maintain a database of actual operating and support (O&S) costs for major weapons systems, as required in 10 USC Ch. 137, Sec. 2337a and further refined by Sec. 832 of the 2019 NDAA. Additionally, the EVAMOSC data capability will directly support development and reporting of readiness metrics associated with implementation of the interim National Defense Strategy. In FY 2024, CAPE will continue to design and develop an enterprise data platform to serve as the authoritative source of O&S cost data for major weapon systems.

Oversight
Department-level designation (not specific to this program)
GAO lists 5 high-risk areas for DOD as a whole. That designation covers the department, not Budget and Program Assessments — no program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,741 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
