The purpose of the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process is to allocate resources within the Department of Defense. The PPBE is a cyclic process that provides the mechanisms for decision making and provides the opportunity to reexamine prior decisions in light of changes in the environment (e.g., evolving threat, changing economic conditions, etc.). The ultimate objective of the PPBE is to provide the Combatant Commanders (COCOMs) with the best mix of forces, equipment, and support attainable within established fiscal constraints.
