Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution System Training Program: Reference Manual : U.S. Department of the Air Force , 2016
From the introduction: “The purpose of the budget of the United States government is to allocate resources and funding among all the executive agencies of the federal government as well as for social programs and interest on the nation’s debt. The U.S. budget not only focuses on dollars but other resources, such as agency manpower (military end-strength) and equipment (aircraft, vehicles, etc.) With an FY22 approximate President’s Budget request of $715 billion including Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO), the Defense Department is almost seven times the size of the next largest U.S. agency (the Department of Health and Human Services FY22 request was $134B.) DOD therefore requires a longer-term view beyond the single-year budget request and three-year strategic plan currently required by law. The Defense Department process first implemented in 1962 to allow this longer-term planning and analysis – the Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution (PPBE) process – is outlined in this Reference Guide.”
