(c) The MWR program must deposit <strong>AR</strong>MP funds no later than 1 working day after the collection.<br />
(d) An armed guard escort will make deposits in excess of $5,000 (see appendix G).<br />
(e) In exceptional cases and as approved by the <strong>AR</strong>MP GM, <strong>AR</strong>MP staff may make bank deposits using procedures<br />
specified by <strong>AR</strong>MP Controller.<br />
(11) Documents. All original collection and deposit documents will be forwarded to <strong>AR</strong>MP field office.<br />
(12) Keys. All keys will be returned to the key control custodian prior to the end of each day.<br />
(13) Command representatives. The local command will provide command representatives for periodic cash collection<br />
observations. Observations will be made at least once per quarter at selected locations. The local command will<br />
coordinate with the local <strong>AR</strong>MP field office after the observations have been completed and communicate any issues<br />
identified during the cash collections to the <strong>AR</strong>MP field office manager.<br />
(14) Internal controls. The <strong>AR</strong>MP will provide effective control and accountability of funds through its system of<br />
internal controls during the drop process and through subsequent independent analysis. The controls will include use of<br />
the two-party drop team to prevent theft, periodic unannounced FMWRC internal review observations of cash<br />
collections to ensure adherence to <strong>AR</strong>MP SOPs, and systematic reviews of each cash collection to reconcile cash and<br />
coin counts with documented meter readings. All variance exceptions to established parameters will be researched,<br />
evaluated, and reconciled. Additionally, where resources permit, regular rotation of cash collectors and technicians will<br />
be practiced.<br />
(15) Machine maintenance. The <strong>AR</strong>MP field office will schedule machine maintenance and will coordinate the<br />
schedule with MWR programs. Maintenance is based on a route system; MWR program manager will ensure that<br />
facilities and facility representatives are available when maintenance is scheduled. The MWR program manager will<br />
notify <strong>AR</strong>MP personnel immediately when there are any existing or potential machine problems and when facility<br />
renovations, closures, or re-openings are decided upon.<br />
(a) MWR program and <strong>AR</strong>MP representatives will be present at all times during any machine maintenance where<br />
the technician has direct access to machine funds. As required, if the MWR program representative cannot accompany<br />
the technician or is called away, machines will be locked and maintenance stopped until the MWR program representative<br />
returns.<br />
(b) The <strong>AR</strong>MP technician will record meter readings, type of malfunction, and extent of repairs per the <strong>AR</strong>MP SOP.<br />
(16) Management controls.<br />
(a) <strong>AR</strong>MP accounting, cash collection, and maintenance functions will be segregated from those of other MWR<br />
programs.<br />
(b) The FMWRC will provide a quality assurance/management review program to detect, deter, and prevent fraud,<br />
waste, and abuse. The assurance/management review program strengthens management and operational practices and<br />
ensures effective management controls.<br />
e. Amusement machines. Amusement machines include video machines, pinball machines, crane machines, coinoperated<br />
pool tables, dedicated simulators, CD jukeboxes, digital jukeboxes and such other machines that do not<br />
provide a payout. Amusement machine services include purchase of the latest industry amusement games, on-site<br />
management and maintenance, cash collections, internal controls, and shared revenues. The expense of operating the<br />
program will be borne by the <strong>AR</strong>MP. The <strong>AR</strong>MP may install and operate amusement machines in MWR programs<br />
(categories A, B, and C) at the request of the garrison commander. They may be installed and operated in non-<strong>Army</strong><br />
(AAFES, other services) operations, as agreed to by MOA between FMWRC and the requesting program, unless<br />
prohibited by law. Participation in the <strong>Army</strong>’s amusement machine operations will be authorized case by case by<br />
business-based analyses of an installation’s vendor-operated amusement machine operations versus <strong>Army</strong>-operated<br />
amusement machine operation potential. All <strong>Army</strong> installations as well as other military services and the AAFES may<br />
participate.<br />
f. Internet-based entertainment; wireless cafes; and related services and support. When pay per use unofficial<br />
Internet services (for example barracks, Internet services or wireless hot spot service) are to be provided, NAF contract<br />
procedures will be used. These services are authorized to utilize all recognized (TCP/IP) Internet applications for<br />
unofficial purposes including but not limited to web browsing, web hosting, Voice over IP, unofficial e-mail, video<br />
mail and streaming audio/video. After prior coordination with the DOIM/frequency manager, access to DOIM wired<br />
infrastructure and frequency spectrum will be granted to MWR programs to support these nonofficial services, paid or<br />
free, when it does not conflict or inhibit other official U.S. <strong>Army</strong> functions. Access to commercial unlicensed<br />
frequencies is to be granted as long as there is no interference with official frequencies or uses and the equipment<br />
adheres to FCC regulations or similar local national specifications when installed. When requested by MWR, DOIM<br />
frequency managers will direct that other unofficial uses of these frequencies be terminated if it interferes with<br />
approved MWR implementation at the same frequency.<br />
8–9. Arts and crafts<br />
a. Description.<br />
(1) The arts and crafts program offers educational, self-development activities that advance technical knowledge and<br />
skills and offer opportunities for creative growth. This is accomplished through individual participation in arts and<br />
