The United States Army Financial Management School (FMS) and the Center for Army Lessons Learned (CALL) partnered to produce a "how to" guide to assist unit commanders, their paying agents (PAs), and their field ordering officers (FOOs) meet their responsibilities in regard to paying for support to accomplish their unit's missions. This handbook provides deployed unit commanders, their PAs, and their FOOs a reference guide on the procedures for obtaining funds and clearing funds.This handbook is the latest in a series of recent CALL products that address money as a weapons system and the various facets of supporting commander programs to support the indigenous population in the counterinsurgency environment. By enabling commanders to provide emergency relief, stimulate the local economy through purchases of supplies and services, and create jobs--which gives further expansion to the local economies--commanders can gain the trust and confidence of the local population and their civilian and military leaders.
