Budget line items and funding levels are discussed during the annual CURG meeting, when the AG makes recommendations to the WMES/CWMS PgM for concurrence. Funding is approved as part of the USACE Information Technology Capital Planning and Investment Management (CPIM) process. The CPIM process evaluates all USACE IT investments and then recommends an approved IT budget to USACE leadership.
Two categories of funding are evaluated and approved:
- Enterprise Reimbursable Cost (ERC), funded from district and division overhead accounts
- "Other" funding, which can come from various sources (HQUSACE, districts, or divisions)
It should be noted that "Other" funding represents the maximum amount of funds from other sources that the programs can receive and execute, rather than actual funding amounts. In any given year CWMS and WMES may receive no "Other" funding, the entire "Other" funding, or some amount in between.
The tables below present the CWMS and WMES budgets.
