Abstract
The National Security Act of 1947, providing for the unification
of the armed forces of the United States under a Secretary of Defense,
initiated a series of reforms culminating with the installation of the
Planning-Programming-Budgeting Concept in 1961 by Robert S. McNamara.
ith budgetary control, McNamara has accomplished what no prior
Secretary of Defense could achieve: (1) integration of strategic plans
and over-all defense programs within a program and budget structure,
and (2) control of the military in a manner approaching absolute
dominance.
