Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution Reform Implementation Report

The Department of Defense is undergoing a critical transformation to modernize its Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process, a system that has guided defense resource allocation for over 60 years. This reform effort is driven by the need for greater agility, transparency, and efficiency in how the DoD aligns its strategy with funding decisions. With a rapidly evolving global security landscape and increasingly complex threats, the Department is implementing 26 targeted initiatives aimed at streamlining decision-making, improving data-driven resource management, and strengthening collaboration with Congress.
