FY17 funding supported a significant increase in studies, operations research and analyses, and modeling and simulation to support the Commandant's Planning Guidance (CPG), Defense Planning Guidance, Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), Chairman's Joint Force Assessment, Chairman's Strategic Seminar Series Wargames, Annual Joint Staff Force Sufficiency Assessments, and POTUS.
