Single session event

This interactive seminar is intended to provide the “101” on the system that produces our national defense. It will focus on the structure and interaction of three major processes of the Joint Strategic Planning Process (JSPS), the Joint Operational Planning and Execution System (JOPES), and the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution System. The discussion will promote a basic understanding of how billions of dollars get translated into the platforms, posture, programs and people that comprise the defense portion of national security.
