  * Provide/coordinate communication requirements (i.e., Commercial telephone line, Defense
  Switch Network and LAN) for EagleCash Kiosks.
  8-72. The FMSU possess limited organic IT capabilities to support itself and FM detachments under its
  command and control. Below is a list of IT capabilities the FMSU can bring to the battlefield:
  * Basic Help Desk support.
  * Troubleshoot individual computer problems.
  * Install basic hardware.
  * Submit and manage help desk tickets.
  * Image personal computers.
  * Load software (including FM specific software).
  * Install network drops.
  * Cable runs.
  * Network layer 1 troubleshooting.
  * Request (through appropriate Signal channels) for setup of new user and email accounts.
  * Conduct TASO functions at their direct level or DSSN department level.
  * Deploy tactical communications and FMTP.
  * Maintain and perform disaster recovery procedures, backups, and archiving.
  * Decommission sites and systems.
  * Proper destruction of data drives.
  * Personal Identifiable Information protection.
  SECTION VI – E-COMMERCE
  8-73. Transitioning the theater from cash to a cashless battlefield is a principal aim of FM during a
  contingency operation. How quickly this transition occurs is operationally dependent on local banking
  infrastructure, vendors’ capability to accept EFT payment, and HN communication infrastructure. E-
  commerce applications are the conduit for removing cash from the battlefield. FM leaders must continually
  assess their operations to promote E-commerce initiatives. The FMSC in conjunction with USAFMCOM
  and the Department of Treasury can proliferate the theater with E-commerce technology. E-commerce
  technology and its usage must be considered in all operational planning. The U.S. Department of the
  Treasury has developed Stored Valued Cards (SVC) (electronic money) , International Treasury Services
  (ITS.gov) (vendor payments), and Over The Counter Channel Application (OTCnet) (check capture
  processing) applications designed to improve financial controls and cash management, streamline
  administrative processes, improve internal controls and improve quality of life for Soldiers. Theater
  policies must be developed and tailored to expand the use of these applications within a theater of
  operations early on. The FM community and the Army recognizes that in order to improve accuracy and
  timeliness of transaction processing, a paper-based environment must be replaced by electronic processing
  to provide single-source entry, electronic transmission of data and electronic storage of data.
  8-74. FM units are also equipped with the Deployable Disbursing System (DDS) and must maximize its
  capability. DDS provides automated accounting and disbursing documentation to mobile and remote
  military operations within contingency locations requiring foreign currency operations. DDS also interacts
  with SVC, ITS.gov and OTCnet.
  8-75. The following FMIS comprise the E-commerce initiative:
  * EagleCash SVC, kiosks and POSs.
  * OTCnet.
  * ITS.gov
