Coordination between the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process and the Defense Acquisition System may be complicated due to the differing timelines and objectives of each system. The PPBE process focuses on resource allocation and budget planning, while the Defense Acquisition System is concerned with the acquisition and procurement of defense systems and equipment. Aligning these two processes requires careful coordination to ensure that budgetary decisions support the acquisition priorities of the Department of Defense effectively. Additionally, the complexity of defense acquisitions, including technological advancements and changing requirements, can further complicate the coordination between the PPBE process and the Defense Acquisition System.
National Defense University was created in 1976.
