<p>The Planning, Programming and Budgeting (PPB) system was introduced in the department of Defense (DoD) in the  1960's to link strategies to programs that best satisfy the Nation's policy objectives and fit within budget constraints. Over the past  45 years, modifications were made to the PPB system, and it is now referred to as the Planning, Programming, Budgeting and  Execution (PPBE) system, but the original intent of PPB remains intact. Traditionally, wars were funded initially with emergency  supplemental funding until the cost of the war could be added into the baseline budget process. The Global War on Terror  (GWOT), now in its six year, continues to be funded outside the PPBE process through supplemental appropriations. This project  identifies and examines the key factors related to this deviation from the PPBE process. The research analyzes the domestic  environment in which PPB was originally implemented and the post 9/11 environment in which it currently exists. A comparative  analysis is used to determine the reasons for the increased use of supplementals for baseline and GWOT funding in the last six  years. The project also identifies the implications of continued deviation from the PPBE process utilizing parallel budgeting  processes.
