The Senate Appropriations Committee will debate military construction funds this week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another Senate panel <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2021\/07\/23\/senate-authorizers-want-to-fund-the-armys-entire-wish-list\/\">indicated it would approve<\/a> the Army\u2019s entire \u201cunfunded requirements\u201d list, which is how the service asks Congress for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/land\/2021\/06\/01\/us-armys-55-wish-list-to-congress-seeks-to-restore-tough-cuts-made-to-protect-force-modernization\/\">priority items that were not included in the official budget request<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/defensenews\/land\/2021\/06\/02\/us-armys-55-wish-list-to-congress-seeks-to-restore-tough-cuts-made-to-protect-force-modernization\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/6646824.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">US Army\u2019s $5.5B wish list seeks to restore cuts made to protect force modernization<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Army has submitted its Unfunded Requirements List to the Hill that seeks to boost funding to improve military installations, restore delayed procurement of legacy aircraft and vehicle fleets and cover the potential hidden costs of withdrawing from Afghanistan while covering unforeseen contingencies.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Funding the entire list would allow the Army to execute 14 housing and transient barracks projects beyond the Biden budget request at a cost of more than $532 million. Defense News \u2014 a sister publication of Army Times \u2014 obtained a copy of the Army\u2019s FY 2022 unfunded requirements list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The projects funded through these funding increases would replace or repair reception barracks at Fort Jackson, South Carolina; AIT barracks at Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia, and Fort Rucker, Alabama; transient barracks at Fort Dix, New Jersey, and Fort McCoy, Wisconsin; and permanent party facilities at Fort Hood, Texas, Fort Stewart, Georgia, and Fort Polk, Louisiana. The National Guard would also gain new training barracks in Nebraska and Louisiana.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite Congress leaping into action to increase funding for the barracks improvement initiative, the Army says the effort is essentially budget cut-proof and could have stayed on track even without the additional funds beyond the president\u2019s budget request.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Army\u2019s Facility Investment Plan request of approximately $9.6B over the next decade for restoration and modernization of barracks is based on a combination of [military construction and] restoration and modernization funding,\u201d said Lt. Col. Brandon Kelley, an Army spokesperson, in an email to Army Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kelley explained that only around ten percent \u2014 approximately $1 billion \u2014 of the initiative\u2019s funding will come from military construction funds, and that the rest will come from the service\u2019s restoration and modernization funds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn addition to the $262M of military construction funding requested in the FY22 President\u2019s Budget request for barracks, the Army forecasts spending $461M of Restoration and Modernization (R&amp;M) funding to overhaul barracks in FY22,\u201d Kelley said, adding that R&amp;M funding can be \u201cre-prioritized\u201d by Army leaders as-needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Army is continually reviewing its barracks requirements and exploring all practical options for cost-effective solutions for quality single Soldier housing,\u201d said Kelley. \u201cWe appreciate any support Congress is able to provide us to meet our objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><i>Defense News land warfare
