Army's 2013 Equipment Modernization Plan

The 2013 Army Equipment Modernization Plan, issued on May 16, 2012, describes how service investment decisions fit within a set of equipment portfolios, a framework that cuts across funding lines in the budget. The report describes research, development and acquisition plans totaling $18.9 billion in FY-13 across 10 portfolios, a sum that accounts for roughly 70 percent of the Army's $25.7 billion base budget request for modernization spending in FY-13.
