JCS (Joint Chiefs of Staff) Role in Planning, Programming and Budgeting

摘要

This document provides a description of current Joint Chiefs of Staff activities in planning and programming which contribute to the resource allocation decision making process. In the author's view, the lack of fiscal reality throughout the planning effort creates conditions which denigrate the planners product during subsequent resource allocation phases. Two changes to enhance the role of the JCS in the planning and programming phases are suggested.
