  8-37. Financial Management Training Database (FMTDb): FMTDb is housed in a split partition of the
  hard drive on the FMTP. It is comprised of the full suite of FM applications and U.S. Treasury peripherals,
  Deployable Disbursing System (DDS), Computerized Accounts Payable System Windows (CAPSW),
  International Treasury Services (ITS.gov), Over The Counter-Channel Application (OTCnet), Eagle Cash
  Card, RMT, Operational Data Store (ODS), and the Standard Finance System (STANFINS). This database
  provides our FM Soldiers the optimum platform allowing them to “train as they fight”.
  8-38. The technical nature of our business coupled with the continuous proliferation of technology
  requires the Financial Management community to know how to work these systems and our corresponding
  applications. Prior to the deployment of the FMTDb Currently, FM Soldiers are trained by using a
  disjointed training methodology with different agencies (Defense Finance and Accounting Services, United
  States Army Forces Central Command, United States Army Financial Management Command, National
  Providers, Financial Management School & units) all providing various levels of training to deploying
  personnel. This method of training has provided some familiarity, but it has did not allowed our Soldiers
  us to take full advantage of the systems and their capabilities and more importantly provide them the
  means for FM soldiers to sustain their knowledge and proficiency on these systems/applications. The
  sustainment of the Financial Management Training Database platform will mitigate this challenge while at
  the same time providing our FM Soldiers in all components the optimum platform that allows them to
  “train as we fight” while at home station.
  SECTION III - FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT SOFTWARE
  8-39. Besides the essential hardware needed to establish all the financial management information systems,
  the interface between those systems is done using different types of software specialized on different areas
  of information management to process financial management capabilities on time and accurately.
  THE DEPLOYABLE DISBURSING SYSTEM (DDS)
  8-40. DDS provides automated disbursing support. The system provides the capability to write Treasury or
  LDA checks, plus the daily accountability and reconciliation for all transactions. DDS receives information
  from the commercial vendor support and travel modules, which allows the writing of checks to pay vendors
  and travel claimants. It is capable of being used in remote military operations within contingency locations
  with foreign currency. DDS integrates with GFEBS to enable deployed disbursing functions. DDS creates
  pay vouchers and formatted output for upload to the military pay system for payment. The electronic funds
  transfer interface in DDS requires an upload to FedLine (Federal Reserve Software) to place payments in
  the Federal Reserve Bank (FRB). In situations where the Department of the Treasury’s international
  payment system (ITS.gov) will not support mission requirements, DOs may maintain official LDAs for
  check or EFT payments in foreign currency with banks designated as “Depositaries of Public Money of the
  U.S.” by the Treasury. Except for LDAs in U.S. dollars established under Title 10, United States Code,
  Section 127 for Intelligence Contingency Fund (ICF) purposes. LDAs in U.S. dollars may not be
  established unless specific authority is first obtained from the Director for Accounting and Finance Policy,
  Office of the Under Secretary of Defense (Comptroller), through the Director, Defense Finance and
  Accounting Service-Indianapolis (DFAS-IN).
  INTEGRATED AUTOMATED TRAVEL SYSTEM (IATS)
  8-41. The Integrated Automated Travel System (IATS) provides automated travel support. IATS provides
  the capability to process all types of travel payments (except civilian overseas permanent change of station
  payments, which must be computed manually). IATS also maintains a travel record on every individual
  receiving a payment processed by that server, and interfaces with DDS to facilitate payments. DTS is also
  available and can be accessed via the internet.
  THE DEFENSE MILITARY PAY OFFICE (DMO) SOFTWARE SUITE
  8-42. Defense Military Pay Office (DMO) software suite provides processing access to the military pay
  system to facilitate pay support. This software is provided for all components (AC, NG and RC), IAW
