Which planning cycle is associated with the Army's use of the POM within the Total Army Analysis framework?

• A. PPBE process
• B. Budgeting cycle
• C. Planning
• D. Execution

Answer: (A)

The Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process. The Program Objective Memorandum (POM) is the Army’s five-year resource plan that comes from Total Army Analysis and is prepared during the Programming phase of PPBE. This phase translates validated requirements into funded programs, which are then refined in the Budgeting phase and carried out in Execution. So the cycle that houses the POM within the TAA framework is PPBE, not just budgeting, planning, or execution.
