Motivator: In today’s environment of reduced resources, the commander is faced with a significant challenge – do more with less. Stretching resources requires careful planning and implementation. This is especially true at the installation level. The installation is the lowest operating level charged with the responsibility for obtaining and making timely allocations of resources. The resources allow the installation and the units assigned to the installation to accomplish their missions, thereby contributing to the accomplishment of the overall Army mission. While obtaining the necessary resources, commanders are constantly faced with changes, be they internal; changes in mission or support requirements, or external; changes due to legislative action, environmental impact or community relations. All of these changes effect the day-to-day operation of the installation, as well as, the resources required. With all the factors that effect resources at the installation, it is essential for continuous coordination between the key players involved in the day-to-day operations. That coordination is accomplished by the Program and Budget Advisory Committee (PBAC).

2. Terminal Learning Objective
Task: Conduct a Working Program Budget Advisory Committee (PBAC)
Conditions: FM Leaders in a classroom environment working individually and as a member of a small group, using doctrinal and administrative publications, self-study exercises, personal experiences, practical exercises, and discussion

Read TLO
Instructor Note: Throughout this lesson, solicit from students the challenges they experienced in the current operational environment (OE) and what they did to resolve them. Encourage students to apply at least 1 of the 8 critical variables: physical environment, political stability of the state, sociological demographics, infrastructure, military capabilities, information, time, and economics. Additionally, the 21st Century Soldier Competencies are essential to ensure Soldiers and leaders are fully prepared to prevail in complex, uncertain environments. This lesson reinforces the following 21st Century Soldier Competencies: Character and Accountability; Adaptability and Initiative; Teamwork and Collaboration; Communication and Engagement; Critical Thinking; Cultural and Joint Interagency; Tactical and Technical Competence. Throughout the lesson discussion seek opportunities to link the competencies with the lesson content through the student’s experiences.
Safety Requirement: In a training environment, leaders must perform a risk assessment in accordance with DA PAM , Risk Management. Leaders will complete a DD Form 2977 RISK MANAGEMENT WORKSHEET during the planning and completion of each task and sub-task by assessing mission, enemy, terrain and weather, troops and support available-time available and civil considerations,(METT-TC). Local policies and procedures must be followed during times of increased heat category in order to avoid heat related injury. Consider the work/rest cycles and water replacement guidelines IAW TRADOC Regulation
Risk Assessment Level: Low. Hazard Identification: Electrical Shock, Fire, Slippery Floors, Physical Injure/Strain, Tripping Tight Spaces in Classroom, and Influenza. Hazard controls: Primary Instructor (PI) will ensure: All electrical cords are properly stored under desks, liquid containers have lids on them and all spills are immediately cleaned and mopped and allowed to completely dry before allowing students/personnel to walk on them. All chairs are ergonomically designed, adjust to individual preference and that all students are awake and paying attention in class. All cables/cords are properly plugged in, sheathed, and secured along tables, walls, and ceilings. No damaged or frayed cords/cables will be used. PI will brief proper hand washing techniques, the use of hand sanitizer, and evacuation procedures. All trash will be removed daily.
Environmental Statement: Environmental protection is not just the law but the right thing to do. It is a continual process and starts with deliberate planning. Always be alert to ways to protect our environment during training and missions. In doing so, you will contribute to the sustainment of our training resources while protecting people and the environment from harmful effects. Refer to FM Environmental Considerations and GTA ENVIRONMENTAL-RELATED RISK ASSESSMENT.
Evaluation: At the end of the S8 Module a culminating event, resulting in a briefing to the Commander, will be assessed.
