Planning Within the Planning, Programming, and Budget Process.

Abstract

This thesis evaluates the Planning Phase of the Planning, Programming, and Budgeting System (PPBS) used in the Department of Defense (DOD). The evaluation includes the evolution of the PPBS and the participants in the Planning Phase used in the DOD budget process. Conclusions drawn are that the Planning Phase of PPBS is the least studied or understood of all the Department of Defense budgeting system phases. Also, public opinion, the intelligence services, and the final budget can cause the National Security Council (NSC) and the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) to modify their planning, but the major influence is the NSC and JCS appraisal of the enemy threat and assets needed to ensure national security.
