The purpose of the toughening phase is to develop foundational fitness and fundamental movement skills.
Summarizing
purpose
There is no such thing as a 'phase conductor'; the correct term is 'line conductor'. In a single-phase system, the line conductor is the energised conductor; in a three-phase system, there are three (energised) line conductors.

What falls under Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution
The purpose of the PPBE process is to allocate resources within the Department of Defense. The process is a combination of four distinct sections: Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution. Planning phase takes requirements from the Strategic Planning Guidance document provided by the Office of the Secretary of Defense and Joint Chiefs of Staff and refines these requirements into the Joint Planning Guidance which assists the Army, Navy, Marines, etc...to draft a Program Objective Memorandum (POM). This is done during the next phase which is called the Programming Phase. The POM is complimented with the Budget Estimate Submission (BES) which identifies cost. The POM/BES is submitted every two years...on the even years (or better known as the ON year). The POM/BES is authenticated by analyst who then forward the completed document (Program Budget Decision; PDF) to the Secretary of Defense (SECDEF) who in turn forward to the President of the United States for inclusion into the Presidential Budget (PRESBUD) and is then presented to CONGRESS for funding.

Planning Phase
Coordination between the Planning, Programming, Budgeting, and Execution (PPBE) process and the Defense Acquisition System may be complicated due to the differing timelines and objectives of each system. The PPBE process focuses on resource allocation and budget planning, while the Defense Acquisition System is concerned with the acquisition and procurement of defense systems and equipment. Aligning these two processes requires careful coordination to ensure that budgetary decisions support the acquisition priorities of the Department of Defense effectively. Additionally, the complexity of defense acquisitions, including technological advancements and changing requirements, can further complicate the coordination between the PPBE process and the Defense Acquisition System.
