GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  This is a coordinated Programs & Resources, (P&R) Resources Fiscal Execution (RFE) and Resources Fiscal Accounting (RFA) message.
2.  The purpose of this message is to publish updated Overseas Contingency Operations (OCO) fiscal execution guidance with particular emphasis on Operations and Maintenance, Marine Corps (OMMC) and Operations and Maintenance, Marine Corps Reserve (OMMCR).  This MARADMIN is applicable to all Marine Corps commands executing OMMC and OMMCR appropriated funds.
3.  Enhancement to execution oversight.
3.a.  Effective 1 October 2017, funding authority will be issued by P&R to financial activities in either a baseline or OCO funding function.  This distinction will create a more reliable method of capturing and reporting OCO costs to be distinguished from baseline costs when funds are executed by financial activities.  Creating this distinction in funding authority will also more clearly define the purpose for which OCO funding is executed which is currently divided into three main categories that include Direct War, Leveraged OCO, and Congressional transfers.
4.  OCO Funding Authority.
4.a.  Direct War.  Direct War costs are reportable to the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) on a monthly basis by each service.  Direct War costs relate to a specific named operation or contingency that has been declared by OSD.  Direct War costs are identified by a Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) assigned Special Interest Code (SIC) as listed in para 6.a. designated to capture costs associated to a named operation or contingency.  Additional named operations or contingencies can be added in the year of execution and will normally align with a major event affecting Marine Corps operations or an Executive Order.  Direct War costs shall also use a “DS” series Cost Account Code (CAC) as listed in para 7.a. in addition to a HQMC assigned SIC as listed in para 6.a. to distinguish from Leveraged OCO transactions that shall not use a HQMC assigned SIC as listed in para 6.a.  P&R will issue Direct War funding authority in one of the OCO funding function fields listed in para 5.b.  P&R reports the cost associated to each named operation or contingency to OSD on a monthly basis.
4.b.  Leveraged OCO.  Leveraged OCO costs are reportable to OSD on a monthly basis by each service.  Leveraged OCO authority is provided to financial activities as a method of funding baseline requirements in which the command does not have sufficient baseline authority.  There is no distinction between leveraged OCO transactions and baseline transactions as it relates to the purpose for a specific transaction.  Leveraged OCO costs are identified by transactions that contain a “DS” series CAC as listed in para 7.a. and do not contain one of the HQMC assigned SICs listed in para 6.a. to distinguish leveraged OCO charges from Direct War costs.  P&R will issue Leveraged OCO funding authority in one of the OCO funding function fields listed in para 5.b. P&R reports Leveraged OCO costs to OSD on a monthly basis.
4.c.  Congressional transfers.  A Congressional transfer is an increase in OCO funding authority to offset an equal decrement in baseline funding authority enacted by Congress when an annual budget is approved.  Similar to Leveraged OCO, a charge associated to Congressional transfers has no distinction between a baseline transaction as it relates to the purpose for that transaction.  More specifically, a Congressional transfer is OCO funding authority provided for baseline requirements in an amount set by Congress in an approved budget.  Not every fiscal year will include Congressional transfer authority, but P&R is required to report costs associated to Congressional transfers on an annual basis or as directed.  Costs associated to Congressional transfers are identified by transactions that contain a “XF” series CAC listed in para 7.b.  P&R will issue Congressional transfer OCO funding authority in one of the baseline funding function fields listed in para 5.a.
5.  Funding Function changes.
5.a.  Baseline authority funding functions.  The below funding functions denote baseline budget authority by Budget Line Item (BLI) for OMMC and OMMCR appropriations.  The below funding functions will also be used for Congressional transfers of OCO authority described in para 4.c. Of note, this MARADMIN is not directing a change to these funding functions as they exist in FY17 and prior (read in two columns):
BLI             Funding Function

5.b.  OCO authority funding functions.  The below funding functions will be used to denote OCO budget authority by Budget Line Item (BLI) for OMMC and OMMCR appropriations.  The below funding functions will be used to capture Direct War Costs and Leveraged OCO costs described in para 4.a. and 4.b.  Of note, only the BLIs where OCO budget authority is executed are listed as they will be the only new codes created (read in two columns):
BLI             Funding Function
1A1A            1A1AOCO
1A2A            1A2AOCO

6.  SIC Changes.
6.a.  Direct War SICs.  The below named operations and contingencies shall use the associated HQMC assigned SIC to capture Direct War costs and other reporting functions to capture relevant expenses.  All financial transactions associated to the below SICs shall align to Direct War costs of OCO budget authority (read in three columns):

6.b.  Obsolete SICs.  Financial activities are no longer required to utilize the SIC OB0 to capture Leveraged OCO costs or XF0 to capture Congressional transfer OCO costs incurred after October 1, 2017.
7.  CAC changes.
7.a.  DS Series CACs.  The below list of DS Series CACs shall be used to capture Direct War costs or Leveraged OCO costs on transactions charged against OCO budget authority.  Each category is mapped to a Cost Breakdown Structure (CBS) used for OSD reporting requirements.  DS series CACs are not authorized for use when recording baseline costs or Congressional transfer OCO costs (read in four columns):
