Summary/Abstract: The defense resources management emerged as a topic of interest for the defense sector, no more than five decades ago, when some western countries introduced this concept in addressing such issues as allocating financial and human resources. Moreover, this mechanism provides the necessary tools to plan, organize, lead and control those segments and activities of the defense organization and may contribute to maximising the operational performance of armed forces. There is no universally agreed definition of defense management, but it simply encapsulates the idea that defense organisations need to turn the defense policies into practice, and in doing so, to develop appropriate and sustainable planning mechanisms, support systems and infrastructure. Over time and in different nations, managerial systems were introduced and tested for their relevance in terms of planning, efficiency and accountability. Such a system, developed specifically for public sectors or borrowed from the business practices is Planning, Programming, Budgeting System (PPBS).
