Mechanism tags describe the source text; they do not expand the authority.

Availability and verification

Existing statutory pathway; transaction-specific funds, approval, and delegation verification required.

Requirements and limits

Eligibility & prerequisites

  • Applicable transfer grant must cover the source, destination, fiscal period, and amount.
  • Higher-priority unforeseen military requirement; no transfer to an item Congress denied.

Limits & exclusions

  • §2214 supplies conditions, not an unlimited independent transfer grant.
  • FY2026 §8005 ceiling is $6 billion, with specified exclusions; not a current available-balance statement.
  • FY2026 §8005 also sets a June 30, 2026 multiple-reprogramming-request deadline. Continued or modified application under the FY2027 CR requires fiscal review; $6 billion is not certified FY2027 transfer headroom. CR new-start/rate restrictions remain unless an exception applies.

Funding conditions

  • Source appropriation availability and current annual/CR authority must be checked; no automatic pooled defense budget.
