MENESTREL, Bertrand Le
L'évolution des méthodes de gestion dans les armées - Paris : IIAP, avril/juin 1988
War and thrift are diametrically opposed concepts to most citizens. Nonetheless, the armed services have undertaken a vast modernization program since the 1960's for political, economic and technological reasons, based on Planning, Programming & Budget Preparation ('3PB') and Budget Priority Sequencing (RCB). This result in the creation of the 1970-1975 Five Year Military Plan, financial planning & management service and economic advisory staff at miniterial level. Despite the setbacks and the difficulty of qualifying the resulting gains, this program has provided military decisionmakers with awareness of the value of management techniques, who used to consider combat and management techniques as mutually opposing notions
