Also included are other related codes for the specific resources assigned to each PE and an explanation of their use. This edition covers changes through FYDP Structure Coordination Document 2004-00, dated March 5, 2004. All previous editions of DoD are hereby superceded. This Handbook applies to the Office of the Secretary of DEFENSE , the Military Departments, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Unified or Specified Combatant Commands, the DEFENSE Agencies, Field Activities, and other Defensewide activities (hereafter referred to collectively as the "DoD Components").

3 This Handbook is effective immediately and is mandatory for use by all the DoD Components. Heads of the DoD. Components may issue supplementary instructions only when necessary to provide for unique requirements within their Components. Changes to the FYDP structure are coordinated through the FYDP Structure Management (FSM) website on the Internet ( , restricted to .mil access). Portions of the website, including the portion for proposing changes to the FYDP structure, have additional access restrictions. The website contains the PA&E staff point of contact information for FSM. Contact information for the responsible office is provided below.

5 DoD , April 2004 3. Section One: Organization and Reissuance Policy for A. Organization This Handbook lists the alphanumeric codes and titles of the two principal structural elements of the FYDP: Program Element (PE) and Resource Identification Code (RIC). The Handbook also contains definitions for FYDP PEs and the alphanumeric codes for the DoD Components that have resources in the FYDP. These Component codes are a subsidiary field in the PE codes. In addition, the Handbook states some of the major rules that guide the allocation of FYDP resources (Total Obligational Authority (TOA), Manpower, and Forces) to FYDP PEs. B. Periodic Reissuance DoD will be revised and reissued with each update to the FYDP, as specified in DODI (reference (a)).

6 Additional updates may occur as deemed necessary by the Director, Programming and Fiscal Economics Division, OD,PA&E. Each year, the revision of DoD for the new President's Budget FYDP will be circulated for public release. FYDP. structure coordination documents, which are approved and circulated periodically and placed on the FSM website, may be used to supplement the most recent edition of DoD with the latest approved changes to the FYDP's structure. C. Proposing Revisions to the FYDP Structure In accordance with DoD instruction (reference (a)), requests for changes to the FYDP's program structure, such as establishing new PE codes and definitions or providing updates to existing PE titles and definitions, shall be submitted to OD,PA&E for coordination with the DoD Components.

7 The primary instrument for submitting change requests is the FSM. website, Instructions for submitting properly formatted change requests are provided at the FSM website. Each DoD Component has a designated representative authorized to submit change requests through the FSM system. DoD , April 2004 4. Section Two: FYDP Structure Concepts and Rules A. General Information about the FYDP's Structure The FYDP summarizes resources (TOA, manpower, and forces) associated , by fiscal year, with DEPARTMENT of DEFENSE programs, as approved by the Secretary or the Deputy Secretary of DEFENSE . These programs reflect decisions embodied in Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) documents such as the Strategic Planning Guidance (SPG), the Fiscal Guidance, the Joint Programming Guidance (JPG), the Program Decision Memoranda (PDM), and Program Budget Decisions (PBDs) (all internal DoD documents that are not available for public release).

8 The FYDP contains prior year (PY), current year (CY) and the two budget years (BYl and BY2) through BY2 + 4 years (BY2 +7 years for forces). It is updated with every program and budget submission to OSD and with the President's Budget Submission each year, in accordance with DoDI (reference (a)). This Handbook contains both current and historical FYDP structural elements. The FYDP is a two-dimensional matrix report that links DoD resources and programs. This Handbook is, essentially, a dictionary of these resource categories and programs. In its first dimension, the FYDP comprises eleven Major Force Programs (MFP) -- six combat force-oriented programs and five support programs.

9 These eleven MFPs are divided into thousands of individual PEs. In its second dimension, the FYDP has three broad categories of resources: TOA (enumerating dollars (in thousands)), manpower (enumerating military endstrength and civilian full-time-equivalent workyears), and forces (either items of equipment or combat units). Generally, the FYDP's programs may be considered to be outputs, while its resources may be considered to be inputs. Hence, the FYDP crosswalks the DEPARTMENT 's internal review structure (which is primarily output oriented) with the congressional review structure (which specifies inputs to the DEPARTMENT ). The DEPARTMENT 's official record on DoD outputs (to satisfy the requirements of the Government Performance and Results Act (GPRA)) is the DEPARTMENT of DEFENSE Annual Report to the President and the Congress (reference (c)).

10 FYDP PEs are both mutually exclusive and exhaustive, and are continually scrutinized to maintain proper visibility of DEFENSE programs as the programs themselves change and as the DEPARTMENT 's leadership requires new ways of examining DoD programs and resources. Since FYDP data is stored as a relational database, it is possible to create new aggregations of PEs and resource categories. Some of these aggregation schemes are maintained by OD,PA&E and may be seen in portions of the FSM website; DoD does not include such aggregation schemes. DoD , April 2004 5. B. Major Force Programs An MFP is an aggregation of PEs that contain the resources needed to achieve an objective or plan.
