Скачать или смотреть Force Management EPI 4: Resourcing & Integration: From PPBE to Formations

How do ideas become funded capabilities in real units? This episode zeroes in on resourcing and integration—the heart of how the Army turns force-management decisions into an operating force for combatant commanders. We unpack the planning, programming, and budgeting phases of PPBE as a persuasion process aimed at the Secretary of Defense and Congress, then show how prioritization translates limited dollars into sequenced, UIC-level outcomes that meet global requirements.


 


You’ll see how force integration links DoD and HQDA processes to align people, equipment, training, facilities, and policy so formations arrive trained and ready. We cover the key planning events that shape resourcing decisions, the constraints and tradeoffs inside PPBE, and the mechanisms that allocate scarce resources to the highest-value solutions. The payoff: a practical lens to explain where the money goes, why, and how disciplined integration delivers combat power—not just programs on paper.
