o. F<strong>MWR</strong>C will issue annual financial management procedures detailing accountability for APFs executed through<br />
the <strong>MWR</strong> USA funding practice.<br />
5–3. Uniform funding and management<br />
a. UFM is the merging of APFs with NAFs for the purpose of providing <strong>MWR</strong> support services using NAF rules<br />
and procedures, thereby reducing duplication of effort and providing better visibility on <strong>MWR</strong> program costs. UFM<br />
allows for the immediate obligation, accrual, expense, and disbursement of APF prior to goods or services being<br />
acquired by the NAFI/entity supporting the eligible programs. UFM also allows for the transfer of APF and NAF to be<br />
based on an established MOA between NAFIs/garrison <strong>MWR</strong> operating entities and Army resource managers.<br />
b. The practice of UFM will result in no increase or decrease to the funding of <strong>MWR</strong>. UFM will focus on the direct<br />
APF support the Government provides for <strong>MWR</strong> (primarily MDEP QDPC, QCCS, and QYDP). Other support, termed<br />
indirect, will continue to be provided with no change to the accounting and reporting procedures.<br />
c. Authority for UFM is 10 USC 2491. It is limited to <strong>MWR</strong> programs as defined in chapter 3, this regulation, and<br />
the exchange service and Stars and Stripes. PL 108–375 expanded applicability of UFM to the military services’<br />
academies’ athletic and recreational extracurricular programs. Other well-being programs, such as Army Community<br />
Service (ACS) may not currently benefit from UFM.<br />
d. UFM will involve preparation of a MOA between the APF resource manager and the <strong>MWR</strong> manager outlining<br />
the APF-authorized <strong>MWR</strong> to be performed by the NAFI/entity garrison, the APF funding, and the up-front payment<br />
schedule.<br />
(1) The MOA will serve as the basis for creating the APF obligation and forwarding the money to the NAFI/entity.<br />
(2) <strong>MWR</strong> management will employ NAF rules and procedures in execution of the services authorized APF and<br />
funded per the MOA.<br />
e. Expenditures authorized APFs and paid in accordance with the UFM process will be recorded in a specially coded<br />
department on the NAF financial statement.<br />
f. At year end, the <strong>MWR</strong> expenses authorized APFs must equal or exceed the UFM income. Any recorded expenses<br />
excess to the amount of APFs provided as a result of the MOA will be termed APF shortfall.<br />
g. The following general UFM human resource guidance will apply:<br />
(1) Vacant <strong>MWR</strong> U.S. citizen APF positions will convert to NAF and be filled under NAF staffing and policy<br />
procedures (<strong>AR</strong> <strong>215</strong>–3). Exceptions to this are certain positions retained as APF to fulfill statutory return rights<br />
obligations until the statutory obligation no longer exists.<br />
(2) All permanent <strong>MWR</strong> APF employees may voluntarily convert to NAF in their current position and will be<br />
formally offered an opportunity to do so. APF employees in temporary positions cannot convert.<br />
(a) When an APF employee voluntarily converts to NAF under UFM, the employee’s rate of base pay will be set at<br />
a rate within and not to exceed the pay band to which assigned that is equal to the rate of pay (including locality pay,<br />
special salary rates, and so on) being received as an APF employee immediately before conversion.<br />
(b) Pay for wage grade (WG, WL, WS) employees voluntarily converted to NAF Federal Wage Scale positions will<br />
be fixed at the highest available step within grade that does not exceed the previous wage grade rate of pay. Incentive<br />
payments will continue for converted APF employees under the same conditions and time limitations as if they had not<br />
converted.<br />
(c) APF employees converting to NAF who are serving on overseas transportation agreements will retain the<br />
entitlements and obligations specified therein related to tour dates and return move funding.<br />
(d) Once an employee converts, he/she is subject to the rules and regulations that apply to NAF personnel (<strong>AR</strong><br />
<strong>215</strong>–3).<br />
(e) The offer to convert to NAF is indefinite. APF employees will not be removed from their position because they<br />
elect not to convert to NAF.<br />
(f) Conversion will be without a break in service and will not entitle an employee to severance pay, back pay, or<br />
separation pay under 5 USC Chapter 55, Subchapter IX, or be considered an involuntary separation or other adverse<br />
personnel action entitling an employee to any right to benefit under such title, or any other provision of law or<br />
regulation.<br />
(3) Specific additional guidance is contained in Uniform Funding and Management–Army Implementation Guidance<br />

5–4. Remote and isolated sites<br />
a. The primary criterion for requesting remote and isolated designation is that the garrison has category C <strong>MWR</strong><br />
programs and is unable to maintain financial self-sustainment of these programs. Category C <strong>MWR</strong> programs (includes<br />
exchanges and excludes golf courses grounds maintenance) will then be granted an exception to APF funding policy,<br />
allowing them to receive APF operating support on the same basis as category B <strong>MWR</strong> programs.<br />
b. Garrisons must submit the following documentation:<br />
(1) Installation information. The following installation information is required:<br />
