Financial Management Advance Leaders Course
Field Training Exercise (FTX)

2. Mission
Alpha Detachment, 23rd FMSD deploys to FOB Warrior to provide full spectrum financial support to military and civilian personnel within that AOR.
Instructor Note: For this portion of the FTX, we will be focusing on the Disbursing Operations, which will give students hands on training and reinforce training received from TLO 3.0 Conduct Banking and Disbursing. Instructor should verify with the developer or FMS personnel to request import codes for DDS and verify amounts being advanced to the Disbursing Agent (paper money), so to minimalize delays in training.

3. Personnel
MTOE for Disbursing Operations is as follows: Detachment Commander Detachment Sergeant Disbursing Agent Disbursing Manager Certifying Officer (1-2) Cashiers (2)
Instructor Note: Any personnel not in one of the above positions, should be assigned as role players to give transactions to the cashiers. The business day should be small enough to rotate students into various roles in the Disbursing Office. It is recommended to assign students with Disbursing Operation experience in the Disbursing Manager and/or Certifying Officer roles. Instructor should play the role of the DDO to fund the DA; the DA in turn should then fund their cashiers. There are five sites located on the DDS database, sites 1 and 2 have the DA pre-funded already. Two DAs may be used simultaneously if there are enough students; would require 1-2 additional cashier(s) for the second site. User IDs are located on the DDS user set up file; the default password will be new$1user; students will then be prompted to change their password (it is recommended to have all initial users change their password to ThisisFinance#1 for classroom purposes. If more profiles are needed, instructor or student in the DA role may create additional profiles as needed, as long as the User ID does not duplicate an existing User ID.

4. General Disbursing Policies
Local Pays – NTE $350/mo unless authorized by the DA
Check Cashing – NTE $300/mo unless authorized by the DA
ECC Sales – Cash back limit NTE $300/mo amount inclusive with Check Cashing
SDP Deposits – NTE Soldier’s Net Monthly Pay
Instructor Note: The above guidelines are reflected in the Disbursing Policy SOP; transactions processed by the cashier should be in-line with the criteria set forth above and in the Disbursing Policy SOP. Instruct students to assume all checks, ECCs, and IDs are present for each transaction.
