Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

This bill would reorganize how the United States plans, programs, and budgets for the cyber mission force (CMF) within the armed forces. It would give the Commander of U.S. Cyber Command direct responsibility for planning, programming, budgeting, and executing resources to train, equip, operate, and sustain the CMF, under the authority of the Department of Defense’s Principal Cyber Advisor. The CMF budget would be developed through a dedicated program objective memorandum and budget estimates, and the CMF’s budget materials would be included in the DoD budget justification as a distinct-component submission. The bill also clarifies funding boundaries (excluding military pay and facility support) and sets specific coordination requirements with the military departments and their reserve components, including procedures for resolving funding disagreements. In short, the bill formalizes centralized control of CMF PPB activities under US Cyber Command, with added inter-service consultation requirements and a separate CMF budget presentation to Congress.
