DoD issued a new DoD Directive 7045.14 The Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) Process on January 25, 2013. The new DoDD 7045.14, which is effective January 25, 2013:
· Reissues DoD Directive 7045.14 to update established policy and assigned responsibilities for the PPBE process.
· Provides PPBE process descriptions and data release restrictions
· Incorporates and cancels Deputy Secretary of Defense Memorandum, “Control of Planning, Programming, Budgeting and Execution (PPBE) Documents and Information”( 27 Mar 04)
· Supersedes and cancels DoD Instruction 7045.7 “Implementation of the Planning, Programming, and Budgeting System (PPBS),” (23 May 84) and DoD 7045.7-H “Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) Structure,” (Apr 04)
According to new DoDD 7045.14, “it is DoD policy that:
· The PPBE shall serve as the annual resource allocation process for DoD within a quadrennial planning cycle. The Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), force development guidance, program guidance, and budget guidance are the principal guides used in this process. Programs and budgets shall be formulated annually. The budget shall cover 1 year, and the program shall encompass an additional 4 years.
· The Secretary of Defense:
o Assisted by senior review groups, provides centralized policy throughout the PPBE process.
o Exercises centralized control of executive policy direction by making major policy decisions, defining planning goals, issuing programming guidance, and allocating resources.
o Provides the Combatant Commanders, through periodic councils, additional opportunities for input and comment in all phases of the PPBE process.
· The Deputy Secretary of Defense manages the day-to-day management and operation of the PPBE process. The Deputy Secretary of Defense, supported by his designated management process, provides overall PPBE leadership and oversight, and assists the Secretary of Defense in overall PPBE leadership roles.
· The PPBE process:
o Supports the objective to provide the DoD with the most effective mix of forces, equipment, manpower, and support attainable within fiscal constraints.
o Facilitates the alignment of resources to prioritized capabilities based on an overarching strategy and requires balancing necessary warfighting capabilities with risk, affordability, and effectiveness.
o Provides mechanisms for making and implementing fiscally sound decisions in support of the national security strategy and national defense strategy.
o Facilitates execution reviews of past decisions and actions. The reviews shall assess actual execution performance based on goals and strategic objectives. Recommendations from these reviews shall be linked to decisions on future resource allocations.
o Accepts, as inputs, products of the acquisition and requirements processes outlined in DoDD 5000.01, DoDD 8000.01,and CJCS Instruction 3170.01.
· Due to the sensitive nature of pre-decisional PPBE information, data release restrictions shall be applied in accordance with this Directive.”
