4GT3 CIVIL MILITARY PROGRAMS 126,637 267,048; Program increase - National Guard Youth ChalleNGe 87,411

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): The FY2026 final bill added $87.411M for NGYCP above the FY2026 request; combined with the $110.256M request, that implies about $197.667M for NGYCP, below the FY2025 enacted $211.589M baseline, so it shows partial support/mitigation rather than a clear delivered increase.
