This book was released on 2013-05-25 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Army Techniques Publication (ATP) provides doctrinal guidance and procedures required for personnel who are appointed to perform duties as pay agents (PAs) and field ordering officers (FOOs). ATP 1-06.1 has five chapters and one appendix. Chapter 1 describes participants in the micro-purchase process and provides an overview of this process. This chapter allows the FOO/PA team to understand their interaction with other members, where they belong in the process, why their duties are unique, and when in the process they will execute their duties. Chapter 2 outlines the duties and responsibilities that are specific to the FOOs position and provides select excerpts from the Army Federal Acquisition Regulation Supplement (AFARS). Chapter 3 provides specific procedures required of the FOO during a purchase. Chapters 4 and 5 provide the same type of information required of the PA in accordance with (IAW) the DoD 7000.14-R, Department of Defense Financial Management Regulations (FMRs), Volume 5. The appendix provides sample forms and documents that visually assist the FOO/PA team in completing required documentation. ATP 1-06.1 was developed to expand on FM 1-06, Financial Management Operations, Chapter 3, Banking and Disbursing. It also expands on the previously published Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) Handbook 09-16, Field Ordering Officer and Paying Agent Handbook (July 2009) and CALL Handbook 10-39, Unit Commander's Guide to Paying Agents Handbook (April 2010). ATP 1-06.1 applies to all Army components across the operating and generating force, and during all levels of military operations. The proponent for this manual is the U.S. Army Training and Doctrine Command (TRADOC) and the preparing agent is the U.S. Army Soldier Support Institute (SSI). The current Army structure combined with the increased demands of full spectrum operations has placed an enormous demand on the Army's logistics capabilities. In response to this, commanders have increasingly needed to employ other means of acquiring goods or services necessary for accomplishment of the mission. One of these means is through the use of a FOO/PA team that facilitates the micro-purchase process. Since the American Revolution, vendors have been part of the battlefield in some form or another. General George Washington used civilian wagon drivers to haul military supplies. Vendors supported military operations during the American Civil War, both World Wars, the Vietnam War, and the Persian Gulf War. Over time, vendor support evolved from an ad hoc, add-on capability to an essential, vital part of force projection capability. The Army relies on contracts for equipment, supplies, and services. Most contracts are not million or multi- million-dollar programs that receive multiple levels of review; they are usually small micro-purchases that units use to meet one-time, immediate needs. The basic standards of ethics and business practices for large programs also apply to micro-purchases. Successful operational contract support (OCS) requires all personnel involved in the process to not only understand their specific role in the process, but to be familiar with the specific rules, policies, and procedures required in the execution of their duties and responsibilities. This includes custody and proper disposition of government funds entrusted to them. Unit commanders establish and use FOOs and PAs to make over-the-counter purchases in amounts up to the micro-purchase threshold. The FOO/PA team provides the unit commander with the ability to make local purchases quickly and directly to support the unit commander's mission. As such, unit commanders will select highly capable individuals for duty as FOOs and PAs and will ensure other duties assigned to a FOO or PA do not conflict with or delay the performance of their appointed duties.

Book excerpt: This handbook addresses the roles and functions of Soldiers performing as field ordering officers (FOOs) and paying agents. The Army relies on contracts for equipment, supplies, and services. Most contracts are not million- or multi-million-dollar programs that receive multiple levels of review. Most procurements are small "micro-purchases" units use to meet one-time, immediate needs. However, the basic standards of ethics and business practices for large programs also apply to micro-purchases. This handbook provides many basic standards and serves as a ready reference for FOOs and paying agents while they support their units' requirements. Key lessons: FOOs and paying agents must work closely together, but they are not alone. They are part of an acquisition team that includes the contract and financial management experts who will provide the guidance and direction to each FOO and paying agent to meet the unit's needs. While performing as FOOs or paying agents, Soldiers work for and must respond to guidance from the chief of contracting who appointed them. A FOO cannot be a paying agent. Likewise, a paying agent cannot be a FOO. Neither one can act as a property book officer or property accountable officer. FOOs and paying agents must be careful when dealing with local nationals. Because FOOs and paying agents have a ready source of cash, local nationals may overestimate the influence of FOO and paying agent teams. Issues that get FOOs and paying agents in trouble include security (personal and cash); unauthorized purchases (the kind of purchase, the number of items purchased, or the single item or extended dollar amount); split purchases to get around limits; poor record keeping (which can cost FOOs and paying agents a lot of money); gifts (of any kind); and accepting and not reporting gifts.

Book excerpt: This Army tactics, techniques, and procedures (ATTP) reinforces the fundamentals of mission command established in field manual (FM) 3-0, Operations; FM 5-0, The Operations Process; and FM 6-0, Mission Command. Whereas the above manuals focus on the fundamentals of mission command, this manual provides commanders and staff officers with tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTP) essential for the exercise of mission command.This is a new Army publication. It includes many of the appendices currently found in FM 5-0 and FM 6-0 that addressed the "how to" of mission command. By consolidating this material into a single publication, Army leaders now have a single reference to assist them with TTP associated with planning, preparing for, executing, and continually assessing operations. This ATTP also enables the Army to better focus the material in future editions of FMs 5-0 and 6-0 on the fundamentals of the operations process and mission command, respectively.

Download or read book Unit Commander s Guide to Paying Agents written by U. S. Army Financial Management School and published by . This book was released on 2010-04-30 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unit commanders have a valuable "bullet in their ammo pouch" of money as a weapons system resources to win on the battlefield-the paying agent. This handbook provides unit commanders, paying agents, and field ordering officers (FOOs) a reference guide on procedures for funding and clearing funds on the battlefield. The following individuals work hand-in-hand, but their responsibilities are separate. A paying agent is a U.S. military member or Department of Defense civilian employee appointed by the commander to act as an agent of a disbursing officer. The purpose of a paying agent is to make specific payments from funds temporarily advanced to the agent by the disbursing officer for a specific purpose. Only when specifically authorized in writing are paying agents permitted to cash checks. Funds advanced to a paying agent are held at personal risk by the agent and must be accounted for to the disbursing officer immediately upon completion of the transactions for which advanced. A paying agent cannot serve simultaneously as a FOO. The paying agent cannot make purchases without authorization from the FOO. A financial management company provides financial policies and guidance, provides cash, receives cash and/or documentation showing expenditure of cash, and provides paying agent training. FOOs provide their commanders with the ability to quickly and directly make local purchases to support their mission-what we know as "cash and carry." They do the shopping, deal with vendors, and prepare the Standard Form 44, Purchase Order-Invoice-Voucher.The local contracting office trains and certifies FOOs on procedures for ordering and obtaining supplies. A FOO cannot serve simultaneously as a paying agent. FOOs cannot make purchases with the paying agent's money. The contracting office awards contracts and trains and certifies the FOOs. The property book officer (PBO) at battalion level determines and posts the purchased items onto the unit's property book. The PBO then monitors unit property, and the unit supply sergeant manages all unit logistics actions and documentation.(Note: This handbook is a guide. Some variation in procedures may exist. The disbursing officer will provide specific guidance to his paying agents.)

Book excerpt: Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-10 MCRP 4-11H NTTP 4-09.1 AFMAN 10-409-O Multi-Service Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures or Operational Contract Support February 2016 This multi-Service tactics, techniques, and procedures manual provides operational contract support (OCS) "how to" guidance for Army, Air Force, and Marine Corps commanders, their non-acquisition officer staffs, and their servicing contracting organizations. It also applies to Naval forces operating ashore when these forces are being supported by Army, Air Force, or Marine Corps units. It serves as the primary reference document for planning and execution of OCS, associated functions and tasks at the tactical level. It supersedes ATTP 4-10, Operational Contract Support, dated June 2011 and incorporates the latest guidance found in JP 4-10, Operational Contract Support, dated 16 July 2014 and other associated regulatory guidance. OCS is the process of planning for and obtaining supplies, services, and construction from commercial sources in support of joint operations. While varying in scope and scale, OCS is a critical force multiplier across all phases and types of operations. With a smaller military, less robust active component sustainment capability, and greater emphasis on Phase 0 operations, the critical importance of operational contract support will surely increase as a necessary capability in future operations. Therefore, the Services must continue to enhance their capabilities to plan and provide OCS for deployed forces. This multi-Service publication is intended to provide commanders and their staffs with the doctrinal and policy tools necessary to properly leverage the full spectrum of OCS capabilities in all phases of the operation. This multi-Service publication content remains generally consistent with that found in ATTP 4-10; however, terminology and concepts have been updated as required. Most notably, OCS is redefined and contracting support added as one of the three key OCS functions, in accordance with joint OCS doctrine. The material in this multi-Service publication is presented in a more logical format and sequence, and several new appendices provide an overview of multi-Service OCS capabilities and contain checklists to assist requiring activities and supported units with OCS planning and execution. This multi-Service publication contains five chapters: Chapter 1 introduces OCS and other OCS-related terms, introduces the OCS process and team, discusses key OCS imperatives to minimize risk of contract fraud and unauthorized commitments, and closes with a brief discussion on ethics. Chapter 2 discusses joint planning guidance and the integration of OCS requirements into tactical level planning. It also covers considerations for conducting relief in place and base drawdown and closure. Chapter 3 describes the requirements development process with a focus on requiring activity and supported unit functions. It also discusses the critical parts of a contract support request package and the contract support request package approval process. Chapter 4 covers requiring activity and supported unit responsibilities in contract performance oversight, how contract support is typically assessed, and contains sections on unauthorized commitments, ratifications, and contract closeout actions. Chapter 5 discusses contractor management planning, linking contractor management requirements to the requirements development and contract performance oversight processes, contractor management risks and challenges, contractor personnel legal status information, deployment and redeployment planning and preparation requirements, contractor management in theater, and closes with a section on ensuring fair labor processes.

This book was released on 2015-08-24 with total page 50 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication, Army Techniques Publication ATP 4-92 (FM 4-92) Contracting Support to Unified Land Operations October 2014, describes Army contracting support elements' role, organization and operations in support of unified land operations. ATP 4-92 is a revision of Field Manual 4-92, Contracting Support Brigade, last published in 2010. Operational contract support (OCS) is the process of planning for and obtaining supplies, services, and construction from commercial sources in support of combatant commander directed operations. While varying in scope and scale, OCS, and its subset of expeditionary contacting capability, is a critical force multiplier in unified land operations, especially long-term stability operations. With a smaller Army, less robust active component sustainment capability, and greater emphasis on Phase 0 operations, the critical importance of operational contract support and its associated expeditionary contracting structure may increase as a necessary force augmentation capability in future operations. Accordingly, the Army continues to enhance its capability to plan and provide OCS for deployed Army and joint forces. This contracting-focused ATP is one of numerous initiatives to inform the operating force on the importance of OCS planning and integration, again with focus on the Army's expeditionary contracting force structure, in all phases of operations. ATP 4-92-along with the publications referenced throughout this manual-is intended to provide commanders and their staffs with the doctrinal and policy tools necessary to properly leverage the full spectrum of Army OCS capabilities in all phases of the operation. The publication also serves as a guide for worldwide deployment and employment of expeditionary Army contracting organizational capabilities. ATP 4-92 clarifies existing doctrine, which was focused on the CSB. Updates include mission command philosophy, the revised contracting support organizational structure, other contracting or operational contract support organizations, as well as expanded discussions of financial management (FM) in support of contracting actions. Updates also include expanded discussion on Army expeditionary contracting support to joint operations. ATP 4-92 contains three chapters: Chapter 1 provides an overview of contracting and operational contract support organizations, including the contracting support brigade and its subordinate units, along with USACE, INSCOM, LOGCAP, and ASA(ALT) forward. It also discusses command authority versus contracting authority, as well as contracting support considerations with respect to the Army force generation model. Chapter 2 includes contracting support considerations in the notional phases of the operation, from Joint Publication (JP) 3-0, as well as guidance for contracting support planning and execution, to include the vital link with financial management. Chapter 3 provides an overview of joint contracting considerations, to include lead Service and joint theater support considerations.
