assessments in conjunction with efforts to understand both change and
the long-term implications of current choices.
2. It examines and determines the needs for the DoD for the next 5, 10

components. It begins with a resource-informed articulation of national
, defense policies and ends military strategy known as the Defense/Joint

provides guidance to the DoD Components (military departments and
defense agencies) for the development of their program proposals,
known as the Program Objective Memorandum (POM). [1]
◉ Programming Phase. Answer: 1. The Programming phase of the

2. The Programming Phase is the process for balancing and integrating
resources among the various programs according to certain priorities.
3. The Programming Phase begins with the development of a Program
Objective Memorandum (POM) and Budget Estimate Submission (BES)
by each DoD Component. This development seeks to construct a
balanced set of programs that respond to the guidance and priorities of
the Defense Planning/Programming Guidance within fiscal constraints.
4. When completed, the POM provides a fairly detailed and
comprehensive description of the proposed programs, including a time-
phased allocation of resources (forces, funding, and manpower) by
