Capability Programming: Resources to Achieve Combat Capability Objectives,

Abstract

Capability programming is concerned with providing the resources required to achieve combat capability objectives. Although capability programming is our assigned topic for this conference, we believe it's important to discuss capability programming in the context of the entire Planning, Programming, and Budgeting System (PPBS). We will be emphasizing that the support area requires increasing integration of the various stages of the PPBS. Those PPBS stages also need to be integrated with support resource requirements systems, which in the Air Force are operated by the Air Force Logistics Command. Requirements systems are also the means for executing the budget, given an approved program. We will urge further that an upgraded requirements system should estimate alternative resource capabilities and their costs to enhance programming for support.
