text: Sustainment Operations During Competition Below Armed Conflict
  FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT
  3-70. Financial managers must be prepared to provide funding support across the competition continuum. As
  the financial management strategic enterprise integrator, United States Army Financial Management
  Command utilizes its internal capabilities to deliver system support to financial enterprise resource planning
  systems, financial audit and compliance support, financial management technical training and evaluation,
  banking, and limited accounting for sustainment elements below corps. In addition, it directly coordinates
  with interagency enablers to include the Office of Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), the Assistant Secretary
  of the Army (Financial Management and Comptroller), Federal Reserve Banks, Defense Finance and
  Accounting Service, and the United States Treasury in support of the financial management enterprise. These
  interagency partners are critical in providing battlefield currency support, ecommerce, financial authorities
  and policies, and accounting support.
  3-71. Resource management cells (J-8, G-8, and S-8) must forecast and request funding authorization in
  advance for future operations through appropriate financial management channels. Operation and
  Maintenance, Army is the primary source of funding to support U.S. appropriations to be enacted by Congress
  for specific purposes. Special funding appropriations provide support to U.S. and non-U.S. military
  personnel. Financial managers must be prepared to execute and account for all special funding with the same
  level of effort required to execute and account for Operation and Maintenance, Army funding.
  3-72. Support during competition may include funding support for organizing, equipping, and training
  foreign forces. Title 22, USC contains the Foreign Assistance Act, the Arms Export Control Act, and other
  laws that authorize security assistance, developmental assistance, and other forms of bilateral aid that
  financial management personnel must be familiar with to support stability operations. ARSOF and the
  supporting or supported conventional force have long used Title 22 funding, provided by the Department of
  State, in foreign internal defense operations that occur during stability operations or follow on from a larger
  stability operation. Congress has also authorized DOD to provide security cooperation support to foreign
  military and security forces, with Department of State coordination and Congressional notification, through
  chapter 16 of Title 10, USC.
  3-73. United States Army Financial Management Command and the finance support center continuously
  work in close coordination with sustainment elements below corps to ensure the readiness of finance units at
  the tactical level. Readiness support is provided through combined training opportunities and external
  evaluations. Finance units provide pay agent training and payment support through cash and ecommerce
  during shaping exercises. Individual and collective training opportunities may be available during theater
  security cooperation and exercise events. For more information, see FM 1-06.
  PERSONNEL SERVICES
  3-74. Personnel services complement logistics by planning for and coordinating efforts which provide and
  sustain personnel. Personnel services contribute to personnel welfare (readiness and quality of life).
  Personnel services facilitate the Army’s ability to prolong endurance. Personnel services include HR support,
  legal support, religious support, and band support.
  Human Resources Support
  3-75. Successful HR support is dependent on careful planning, coordination, synchronization, and continuous
  integration with strategic partners during shaping activities and must occur prior to, during, and after military
  action. The objective of HR support is to maximize operational effectiveness by anticipating, manning, and
  sustaining military operations. HR support operations accomplish this by building, generating, and sustaining
  the force to provide CCDRs with the forces required to set conditions to win future conflicts.
  3-76. During competition, HR support involves the national-level capability to plan, resource, manage, and
  control the HR management life cycle functions for the Army. It involves integrating HR functions and
  activities across the Army staff, among the respective components, and among the Services.
  3-77. HR support during competition includes functions and tasks planned, coordinated, integrated, and
  executed by operational-level HR organizations and human resources operations branches (HROBs) located
  within ESCs, DSBs, and sustainment brigades. These functions and tasks include casualty and postal
  operations, personnel accountability, and HR planning and operations. Deliberate coordination and
