D budget, military pay and benefits are, and will likely always be, the single largest expense category for the Department. Total compensation funding, including civilian personnel, consumes nearly half of the budget. People are the Department’s most valuable asset, but Do. D must continually balance these requirements with other investments that are critical to achieving the Department’s strategic goals. ” • We understand challenges associated w/ lack of manpower to execute acq programs • Strategic AF and Do.

AMR Direct Cite Civ Pay Execution in CCa. RS AFLCMC… Providing the Warfighter’s Edge • Understand the rqmt to show Direct Cite civ pay execution within program CCa. RS budgets • IDS developing training materials which will be provided shortly– IDS personnel should be able to support/train now • Summary of CCa. RS process for Direct Cite civ pay reporting – – – • Programs create new “Direct Cite Civ Pay” budget in CCa. RS Programs create new “Direct Cite Civ Pay” CCa. RS record Programs add funding source in the Program Tool Programs implement Civ Pay Auto-Recon feature w/ support of CCa. RS SMEs Programs link new funding source to BMR composite budgets Civ Pay Auto-Recon feature requires program office FMs (with support of CCa. RS SMEs) to manually backfill “documents” one time – After manual backfill is completed once, the subsequent “documents” with the same “document number” (related to civ pay EEICs) will automatically backfill – Cca. RS Auto-Recon feature ignores civ pay accruals…that is a good thing • Detailed training is forthcoming 10
