This thesis analyzes the current Planning, Programming and Budgeting System (PPBS) processes used in the military services. It will provide an upbasis for further study of PPBS. The thesis provides an overview of the PPBS at the Department of Defense level and describes the practices in place for the service. In each chapter there is an examination of the PPBS organization or corporate structure for the respective service. Additionally, each chapter examines the planning phase processes to develop the programming guidance. Next is a description of the Program Objectives Memorandum (POM) development and Budget Estimate Submission (BES) formulation. Following description of the practices for each of the services, there is a comparison. The comparison revealed two different methods being used by the services. The Army uses a decentralized approach for all inputs to the different processes. The Navy uses a decentralized approach for only the BES inputs and the Air Force uses a decentralized approach for only the POM input. The Marine Corps uses a centralized approach for all inputs. A centralized approach for review is used by all services, but at differing levels.

This is the first comprehensive book on Military Cost-Benefit Analysis and provides novel approaches to structuring cost-benefit and affordability analysis amidst an uncertain defense environment and cloudy fiscal prospects. Lifting the veil on military Cost-Benefit Analysis, this volume offers several new practical tools designed to guide defense investments (and divestments), combined with a selection of real-world applications. The widespread employment of Cost-Benefit Analysis offers a unique opportunity to transform legacy defense forces into efficient, effective, and accountable 21st century organizations. A synthesis of economics, statistics and decision theory, CBA is currently used in a wide range of defense applications in countries around the world: i) to shape national security strategy, ii) to set acquisition policy, and iii) to inform critical investments in people, equipment, infrastructure, services and supplies. As sovereign debt challenges squeeze national budgets, and emerging threats disrupt traditional notions of security, this volume offers valuable tools to navigate the political landscape, meet calls for fiscal accountability, and boost the effectiveness of defense investments to help guarantee future peace and stability. A valuable resource for scholars, practitioners, novices and experts, this book offers a comprehensive overview of Military Cost-Benefit Analysis and will appeal to anyone interested or involved in improving national security, and will also be of general interest to those responsible for major government programs, projects or policies.
