Book Unit Commander s Guide to Paying Agents

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 Army Techniques Publication Atp 1 06 1 Field Ordering Officer  Foo  and Pay Agent  Pa  Operations May 2013

Download or read book Army Techniques Publication Atp 1 06 1 Field Ordering Officer Foo and Pay Agent Pa Operations May 2013 written by United States Government US Army and published by Createspace Independent Pub. 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 Money as a Weapons System  Tactics  Techniques  and Procedures

Download or read book Money as a Weapons System Tactics Techniques and Procedures written by Department Of Defense and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-03-13 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) handbook assists company-, battalion-, and brigade-level officers and noncommissioned officers to effectively use money as a weapons system on the counterinsurgency (COIN) battlefield. Coalition money is defeating COIN targets without creating collateral damage, by motivating antigovernment forces to cease lethal and nonlethal operations, by creating and providing jobs along with other forms of financial assistance to the indigenous population, and by restoring or creating vital infrastructure. Money also funds other tools of war. This handbook is a guide and addresses some of the most common funds available to warfighters. Key lessons: - Money is a valuable weapons system. - Money and contracting in a COIN environment are vital elements of combat power. - Leaders must leverage money and contracting in operations. - Leaders must understand funding programs and contracting. - Brigades often lack internal resource management expertise and knowledge of funding. - Financial management administrative requirements in a combat environment can be extremely burdensome but are necessary for good stewardship. - Financial management expertise and knowledge of funding are critical to successful operations. - Without proactive leadership involvement, the potential for extensive fraud, waste, and abuse of funds exists in the COIN environment.

Book Commanding an Air Force Squadron

Download or read book Commanding an Air Force Squadron written by Col Usaf Timmons, Timothy and published by Createspace Independent Pub. This book was released on 2012-08-07 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The privilege of commanding an Air Force squadron, despite its heavy responsibilities and unrelenting challenges, represents for many Air Force officers the high point of their careers. It is service as a squadron commander that accords true command authority for the first time. The authority, used consistently and wisely, provides a foundation for command. As with the officer's commission itself, command authority is granted to those who have earned it, both by performance and a revealed capacity for the demands of total responsibility. But once granted, it much be revalidated every day. So as one assumes squadron command, bringing years of experience and proven record to join with this new authority, one might still need a little practical help to success with the tasks of command. This book offers such help. “Commanding an Air Force Squadron” brings unique and welcome material to a subject other books have addressed. It is rich in practical, useful, down-to-earth advice from officers who have recently experienced squadron command. The author does not quote regulations, parrot doctrine, or paraphrase the abstractions that lace the pages of so many books about leadership. Nor does he puff throughout the manuscript about how he did it. Rather, he presents a digest of practical wisdom based on real-world experience drawn from the reflection of many former commanders from any different types of units. He addresses all Air Force squadron commanders, rated and nonrated, in all sorts of missions worldwide. Please also see a follow up to this book entitled “Commanding an Air Force Squadron in the Twenty-First Century (2003)” by Jeffry F. Smith, Lieutenant Colonel, USAF.
