FROM THE FIELD

Strengthening the Fight: Finance Corps

Leaders Conduct Key Engagements Across

the Force

From late April to early May 2025, senior Finance Corps (FC) leaders conducted a series of site
visits to key Army Reserve Finance units across the country. The goal: assess progress in

transforming Finance structure and training, gather insights to inform future Large Scale

Mobilization Operations (LSMO) and Large-Scale Combat Operations (LSCO) planning, and ensure
Finance units are ready to support the warfighter wherever and whenever needed.

COL Torin Hamilton, LTC Jennifer Pampuch Borden, and SGM Jaime Perez visited the 376th

Financial Battalion (FIBN) at Fort McCoy, WI (26-27 April), the 377th Theater Sustainment Command

(TSC) G-8 at Belle Chasse, LA (2 May), and the 336th FIBN at Lake Charles, LA (3-4 May). These
engagements underscored a shared commitment to improving financial readiness, interoperability,

and Soldier pay support through communication, collaboration, and education.

Driving Integrated Training, multi-component training remains a priority for Finance Corps
leadership. The 376th FIBN is leading the way—pa rtnering with the 106th C-FIBN and sending
teams to support African Lion exercises in Tunisia and Morocco. The 377th TSC G-8 and 336th

FIBN are also exploring opportunities to synchronize efforts across Active and Reserve

components in FY25 and FY26, particularly in support of the EUCOM and Indo-Pacific theaters.

Navigating Transition Challenges
As units transition from Financial Management Support Centers (FMSCs) and Units (FMSUs) to the

FIBN structures, growing pains are inevitable. Both 336th and 376th FIBNs reported challenges
related to UIC changes, loss of Full-Time Support (FTS) positions, and adapting to new

administrative requirements without the full structure of a traditional battalion staff. The 336th

FIBN’s simpler organizational design helped ease its transition somewhat.
