Should the Army's Well-Being Programs Be Funded on a Higher Priority
Abstract
The United States Army is made up of Soldiers and civilians from all walks of life. There are many different reasons that could challenge the question of should the Army's Well-being programs be funded on a higher priority to improve retention and recruitment within the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) Process. Many of the Army's Wellbeing programs have a risk category of low to moderate while others can be traced to an objective-based national planning system. In all of these areas, money is a major issue and thus inherently interesting to the PPBE Process. The argument centers on the functional capabilities of getting the right amount of funding within the Army and their ability to conduct PPBE Process for Well-being programs that are created under the auspices of Army Transformation. This paper will describe what Well-being programs are and how programs are categorized. It will conclude with the rationale for raising the risk level of Well-being programs to meet the challenges of the 21st century.
