Budget figures
No FY2026 R-1/P-1 request line for this program element. The FY2026 President's Budget request workbook carries no FY2026 line for it; its last workbook figure is FY2025. An absent line is not by itself an ending — PB2026 renumbered program elements at scale across the services and defense agencies, so this work may continue under a different number. No successor is linked for this line: this site's program-lineage layer holds no keyed edge pointing forward from here. That is an absence in this site's lineage layer, not a finding about the program: if the J-book narrative on this page describes a realignment, it is quoted below in the document's own words, and this note does not restate it.

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.
| Series | FY22 | FY23 | FY24 | FY25 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Actuals | $7.23M | – | $8.57M | |
| Enacted | – | $0 | $571.0K | $8.00M |
| Request | – | – | $571.0K | $3.00K |
blank = series not published for this year; – = absent from that edition.
Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $571.0K for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $8.57M as actual total obligation authority — $8.00M above the request. 8.6 − 0.6 = 8.0 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.
Program lineage
No predecessor/successor lineage was recorded for this program element — no FY-to-FY transfer into or out of this line was stated in the ingested J-books, and none was inferred from the program structure.
Description
Description — Carbine
The Carbine program supports the National Defense Strategy (NDS) of "Build a More Lethal Force" through enhancement of Joint Lethality in contested environments by minimizing and eliminating erosion of close combat capability relative to peer competitors in complex terrain. This funding line is used to procure M4A1 Carbines for the Army and 30 round Enhanced Performance Magazine (EPM). The M4A1 Carbines are 5.56mm, gas operated, air-cooled weapons designed for lightness, speed, mobility and firepower. The M4A1 Carbine is a more compact weapon than the M16 rifle series since it uses a shorter barrel and collapsible stock. When compared to the M4 Carbine, the M4A1 Carbine has a (safe/semi-automatic/full automatic) trigger group, with a heavier barrel thickness to support increased sustained rates of fire, and an ambidextrous fire control selector. The M4A1 Carbine also includes a back-up iron sight and the adapter rail system to attach accessories and components.

Follow the dollar
No follow-the-dollar view — this program's awards haven't been crosswalked at high confidence (flows cover 312 of 1,938 programs). why coverage is partial? →
Awards
No awards are linked to this program element at high or medium confidence — the budget→award crosswalk only asserts links it can defend, and this line has none yet.
Lobbying mentions
No Senate LDA lobbying filing in the tracked data mentions this program element by code or alias.
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 Carbine. No program-specific GAO finding for this line is in the ingested data. See the DOD oversight record.
Program dossier
No research dossier for this program — dossiers cover 50 of 1,938 programs, the largest fully J-book-detailed lines by FY2026 requested dollars. why no dossier here? →
