Budget figures
$4.48M discretionary + $150.1M one-time reconciliation. Discretionary change vs FY2025 enacted: -98.4%.
Two official figures, one label— reconciled below
Fiscal Receipts uses P-1/R-1 workbook total obligation authority (TOA) as the headline figure sitewide. The workbook TOA includes budget rows that the R-2/P-40 J-book program line excludes — advance procurement in an ordinary year, and in FY2026 the one-time reconciliation appropriation as well. Each row below names the one it is. How the two bases relate →
FY26 Request · $154.6M TOA − $4.48M J-book line = 150.1M (154.6 − 4.5 = 150.1) — $150.1M of one-time FY2026 reconciliation money accounts for this gap — not advance procurement
Figures in the sentence are rounded for reading; the parenthesised arithmetic is the same subtraction in USD millions, at the precision where it closes.

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.

Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $228.8M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $223.2M as actual total obligation authority — $5.61M below the request. 223.2 − 228.8 = -5.6 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Description — MH-139A
The MH-139A program will replace the Air Force fleet of UH-1N aircraft, which have significant capability gaps in speed, range, endurance, payload capacity, and aircraft self-protection. The program of record is 56 aircraft, including 8 total Aircrew Training Devices (ATDs), and associated support equipment. The replacement aircraft will provide a vertical airlift and support the requirements for Air Force Global Strike Command (AFGSC) and Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC). AFGSC is the Air Force lead command and operational capability requirements sponsor. This program is an element of the Air Force's nuclear enterprise reform initiatives. This requirement supports the performance of a full financial audit as required by Title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D Funding for this exhibit contained in PE 0102110F. Anticipated Milestone Dates are as follows: TDP: Jun 2025; IOT&E: Jun 2025; FRP: Feb 2026 Section 1815 of the FY08 National Defense Authorization Act (P.L. 110-181) is necessary for active and reserve components of the Armed Forces for homeland defense missions, domestic emergency responses, and providing military support to civil authorities. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $2.647 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative." Funding can be utilized to resolve issues related to Diminishing Manufacturing Sources (DMS). Depot Source Of Repair (DSOR) decision received Sep 2022. The decision outlines Fleet Readiness Center East for Dynamic and Structural hardware components; Ogden ALC, Warner Robbins ALC, and Oklahoma City ALC for LRU hardware and software; Warner Robins ALC for software sustainment; and finally, JBSA-Lackland for cryptographic hardware work. Additionally, the sustainment business case analysis shifted training systems to contractor performance. Depot gap analysis conducted in FY 2024-FY 2025; working with Item Managers to integrate common assets into existing depots in FY 2025 and activating hardware and software locations per DSOR.

“The MH-139A program will replace the Air Force's fleet of 63 UH-1N utility helicopters. The MH-139A helicopter's missions will include securing intercontinental ballistic missile sites and convoys. The MH-139A program is acquiring a militarized version of a commercial helicopter that will be integrated with previously developed systems. The Air Force plans to acquire an integration laboratory, training system, and support and test equipment as part of the program.”

GAO assessed the program, not this budget line. MH-139A is one of the lines that funds it, and GAO’s work above says nothing about this line’s own figures. Which line each GAO item attaches to is a hand-ratified crosswalk — how it was checked.
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 MH-139A. GAO's program-level work on this line is above. See the DOD oversight record.
