    Team Osan finance experts ‘ace’ historic fiscal year closeout

    The stressful fall semester final exam period usually approaches in early December, but for one special group of financial experts, their biggest test of the year came sooner — Sept. 30th, during the 2020 end-of-year fiscal closeout. Responsible for analyzing Department of Defense budgetary tasks at Osan Air Base, these accounting specialists didn’t anxiously cram, but rather proactively intensified their focus and work hours beginning 60 days prior. Doing this, the 51st Comptroller Squadron’s budget analysis flight (FMA) effectively achieved their goal of properly utilizing funding requirements. Needless to say, these aces passed their annual accounting test, successfully keeping Osan financially ready to “Fight Tonight.”

Recently, the 51st Munitions Squadron conducted their own “toy” giveaway involving a $13 million ammo transfer to Jinhae Port, Jinhae-gu, Republic of Korea, for international maritime shipping.
