Requirements and limits
Eligibility & prerequisites

- 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.
