Program executive officer

A program executive officer, or PEO, is one of a few key individuals in the United States military acquisition process. As can be seen from the examples below, a program executive officer may be responsible for a specific program (e.g., the Joint Strike Fighter), or for an entire portfolio of similar programs (e.g., the Navy PEO for aircraft carriers).

Army: The direct reports of the Army Acquisition Executive are program executive officers for the respective program executive offices (PEOs)^[1]

The current program executive officers include (but may not be limited to):
