The process begins with the annual creation of a Nuclear Weapons Stockpile Memorandum. The memo is initially created by the three-member Nuclear Weapons Council (the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Logistics, the Vice-Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Assistant Secretary of Energy for Defense Programs).
