  • Determining the requirement for multiple disbursing station symbol numbers and dispersion
  throughout theater.
  • Securing initial funding for central funding and cash management operations (for example,
  establishing a limited depositary account).
  • Establishing financial management policies and procedures to address finance and resource
  management operations (for example, cash holding authority and fund certification thresholds).
  • Analyzing current banking infrastructure throughout the theater and determining the need to expand
  synchronization.
  • Identifying the mobility of the financial management distribution network between strategic and
  operational echelons for replenishment (strategic lift, surface transportation) in the absence of host-
  nation capabilities.
  Army Health System Support to Set the Theater
  3-123. The TMC is assigned to the ASCC and serves as the medical command responsible for
  synchronization and execution of AHS support operations within the AOR. AHS is comprised of force
  protection and HSS. The TMC commander coordinates with the ASCC surgeon to provide AHS support
  within the AOR. The TMC maintains a regional focus that encompasses the CCDR's entire AOR and is
  critical for the successful provision of AHS support to set the theater. The medical commander's ability to
  assess host-nation medical capability/capacity and the presence of health threats prevalent in the AOR
  facilitates the planning and execution of regional strategies for establishment of the theater joint trauma
  system and mitigation of identified threats. The TMC assists the CCDR in maximizing the use of scarce
  medical resources, shaping the security environment by building partner medical capacity and alleviating
  health conditions that impact U.S. military forces and multinational partners, and particular challenges faced
  by the host nation. Efforts must also be made to understand the roles and responsibilities of all agencies
  involved (to include the Department of State, World Health Organization, partner nations, and others) for
  integration and synchronization of all medical capabilities in the region. The TMC also provides AHS support
  to set the theater through synchronization, coordination, planning, and integration of strategic medical
  capabilities from the U.S. sustaining base. It also provides support through global health engagements,
  establishing and maintaining medical support agreements, deploying medical technical expertise for
  consultation services and other support, military medical training exercises, and other tasks that include—
  • Executing AHS support to other Services.
  • Ensuring adherence to eligibility criteria for treatment in U.S. military MTFs.
  • Recommending theater evacuation policy adjustments.
  • Providing theater food protection support.
  • Coordinating with USTRANSCOM for patient movement plans.
  • Ensuring integration and interoperability of theater medical capabilities.
  • Providing AHS support to foreign humanitarian assistance and disaster relief.
  • Conducting medical preparation of the OE.
  • Maximizing use of host-nation medical capabilities.
  • Establishing and executing occupational and environmental health surveillance programs and
  countermeasures.
  • Coordinating with the National Center for Medical Intelligence, Centers for Disease Control and
  Prevention, and other strategic partners for identification and mitigation of regional health threats.
  • Coordinating and planning for AHS support to—
  ▪ Noncombatant evacuation operations.
  ▪ Detention operations.
  ▪ RSOI and theater opening.
  ▪ Large-scale casualty producing events.
  ▪ Other Services.
  FIELD ARMY
  3-124. When constituted, field armies assist the theater Army commander and JFCs with posturing the joint
  and multinational force for armed conflict. They do so by relieving the theater Army from day-to-day
  command and control of Army forces operating in an AOR and by executing competition tasks within the
