The NSC, with the advice and assistance of the Office of
Management and Budget, will develop revised schedules and
procedures to improve the integration of national security
strategy with fiscal guidance provided to the Department of
Defense. Toward this end, within 90 days of the date of this
directive, the Secretary of Defense shall recommend to the
NSC and OMB procedures for: (U)
A)
the issuance of provisional five-year budget
levels to the Department of Defense. Those budget levels
would reflect competing demands on the federal budget and
gross national product, and revenue projections; (U)
B) a military strategy to support national
objectives within the provisional five-year budget levels.
Such strategy would include broad military options developed
by the Chairman with the advice of members of the JCS and the
Commanders of the Combatant Commands; (U)
C) a net assessment of U.S. and Allied Forces
as compared with those of possible adversaries. This net
assessment will be used to evaluate the risks associated
with various strategic options. Such net assessment will be
prepared by the Secretary of Defense, the Director of Central
Intelligence, and the Chairman of the JCS (with the assistance
of the Joint Chiefs of Staff) i (g) (u) and
D) selection by the President of a military program
and the associated budget level. (U)
The NSC and OMB will ensure that such procedures are fully in
place prior to the beginning of the budget cycle for Fiscal
Year 1989. In the meantime, the Secretary of Defense will
ensure that improvements to the planning process, which result
from the guidance above, are integrated with the preparation
of the Fiscal Year 1988 defense budget to the greatest
possible extent. In addition, OMB and DOD will undertake
the appropriate steps necessary to produce a two-year defense
budget for Fiscal Years 1988-89. (U)
My objective is to improve and stabilize strategic planning at
the highest level, so that public and congressional debate can
be elevated and brought to bear on these larger questions of
defense policy. (U)
II. Military Organization and Command (U)
I fully endorse the recommendations of the Commission
concerning military organization and command. To continue to
