Developing and Maintaining a Useful Deployed/Contingency Operations Financial Management Guidebook for the United States Marine Corps
Abstract
A contingency operation is an emergency in which military forces are used to address the outcome of natural disasters, terrorist attacks, subversions, or military operations. DoD involvement in deployed/contingency operations has increased and changed substantially in recent years: support of humanitarian and civic assistance missions and disaster relief has grown, as has the range of missions in which DoD engages. Ongoing support of the conflict in Afghanistan has also required a greater commitment from military personnel and greater diligence on the part of those tasked with the responsibility of financial management prior to, during, and following the missions. As a result of these changes, the need exists for establishing a nonrestrictive Deployed/Contingency Operations Financial Management Guidebook for Marine Corps continuity and consistency purposes. This will provide deployed/contingency Financial Management personnel with references for financial management during a contingency operation. This Guidebook provides nonmandatory guidance on best practices, lessons learned, and expectations.
