ABSTRACT
While the preceding paragraph emphasizes the interactions seen at the top level of the PPBES system, similar situations arise throughout the defense organization. At lower levels, there is competition among capability providers in a service to be included in the service’s budget proposal to OSD; for example, the armored
division and the infantry division in the Army; the infantry division and the field artillery in the Army; the surface navy and aircraft carriers in the Navy; or information operations and the surface navy in the Navy. At the higher level, this occurs when the DoD budget is presented to Congress as part of the overall budget for the country.
