SECURITY PROGRAM INTEGRATION PROFESSIONAL
CERTIFICATION (SPIPC)
What are the major outcomes of the Programming stage of the PPB&E
process? -ANSWERProgramming
In this PPB&E phase, each DoD department and agency develops a POM
(Program Objective Memorandum) that describes, in detail, their proposed
budget for the next six years. Each POM balances program budgets as set in
the DPG.
OSD and Joint Staff then review each POM and integrate them all into an
overall coherent Defense program. OSD and Joint Staff also propose
alternatives and/or marginally adjust budgets to address shortfalls or any
issues with any portion of any POM.
SECDEF then settles any unresolved issues and writes them up in a Program
Decision Memorandum (PDM).
What are the major outcomes of the Budgeting stage of the PPB&E process? -
ANSWER-• Budgeting happens at the same time as programming.
Each DoD department and agency submits a budget estimate along with its
POM.
Each DoD department and agency also translates its budget estimate for the
next two years into the Congressional appropriation structure format, and
then submits it.
Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and Office of Management and
Budget (OMB) analysts review the submissions to ensure program funding
matches current policy, they are priced right, and are justified to Congress.
Budget review hearings are conducted to address analysts' questions.

What are the major outcomes of the Programming stage of the PPB&E process? - ANSWERProgramming

  • In this PPB&E phase, each DoD department and agency develops a POM (Program Objective Memorandum) that describes, in detail, their proposed budget for the next six years. Each POM balances program budgets as set in the DPG.
  • OSD and Joint Staff then review each POM and integrate them all into an overall coherent Defense program. OSD and Joint Staff also propose alternatives and/or marginally adjust budgets to address shortfalls or any issues with any portion of any POM.
  • SECDEF then settles any unresolved issues and writes them up in a Program Decision Memorandum (PDM). What are the major outcomes of the Budgeting stage of the PPB&E process? - ANSWER-• Budgeting happens at the same time as programming.
  • Each DoD department and agency submits a budget estimate along with its POM.
  • Each DoD department and agency also translates its budget estimate for the next two years into the Congressional appropriation structure format, and then submits it.
  • Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller) and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) analysts review the submissions to ensure program funding matches current policy, they are priced right, and are justified to Congress.
  • Budget review hearings are conducted to address analysts' questions.
  • After budget review hearings, each analyst then prepares a Program Budget Decision (PBD) for each program that proposes financial adjustments to address issues or problems identified during the hearing.
  • The PBD then goes to SECDEF for a decision. The decision goes in an updated budget submission to OMB.
  • Finally, the overall DoD budget is provided as part of the President's Budget request to Congress. What are the major outcomes of the Execution stage of the PPB&E process? - ANSWER-• The execution review occurs at the same time as the program and budget reviews.
  • The review provides feedback to OSD about the effectiveness of the budget.
  • Program metrics developed throughout the process are used to measure actual output versus expected performance. If the program misses its metrics, then the execution review may lead to recommendations to adjust the budget or program so it does make those goals. What is the relationship between the PPB&E process, the President's budget submission to Congress, and Congress's Appropriations process? - ANSWER-• The Department submits a two-year • The Department submits a two-year budget estimate to OMB that becomes part of the President's budget request to Congress for even-numbered fiscal years (e.g., the President's Budget submitted to Congress in March 2015 contained the Department's budget estimates and justification for FY 2016 and FY 2017).
  • In practice, Congress does not actually provide the Department with a two- year appropriation. It only appropriates funds for the first year. An amended budget justification must be submitted for the second year of the original two-year request so Congress will appropriate funds for that second year. What roles do the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR), POM, and Future Years Defense Program (FYDP) play in the PPB&E process? - ANSWER-• The QDR is a

  • Identify potential vulnerabilities related to identified assets and their undesirable events
  • Identify current vulnerability level for the identified assets that can be exploited by the identified threats What is the purpose of the risk assessment step of the risk management process? - ANSWER• Integrate information about the impact of undesirable events (collected during the asset assessment step) and the likelihood of undesirable events (based on information collected during the threat and vulnerability assessment steps) to determine risks to identified assets What is the purpose of the countermeasure determination step of the risk management process? - ANSWER-• Identify potential countermeasures to reduce vulnerability and/or threat and/or impact
  • Identify countermeasure benefits in terms of risk reduction
