FISCAL HIVISIIJ The Fiscal Division, whose Director is the ofhcial pay- master of the Post, was established during the reorganiza- tion of Post Divisions in January 194-4. Colonel Moses Alexander. the Finance Officer, previous to its establish- ment, was the first Director of the Division. The present Director is Colonel David R. Nimocks, a veteran of many years of service, in this country and abroad. The Division consists of three branchesg these branches, with their chiefs, areg Receipts and Disbursement, IVIajor l. H. Mc- Neillg Budgets and Accounts, lVlajor Richard W. Pettwayg and Audit, Wairrant Oflicer Wa1'cI Pendley. The Receipts and Disbursement Branch receives and dis- burses all appropriated funds pertinent to the Post. the Fayetteville Quartermaster Market Center, and State Selec- tive Service for North Carolina. The Budget and Accounts Branch prepares estimates of appropriated fund require- ments for all elements of the Post and accounts for all ap- propriated funds allotted the Commanding General, Fort Bragg to meet budgetary requirements. The Audit Branch audits all appropriated and non-appropriated funds on the Post, for which expenditures the Commanding General is responsible. 50 Besides paying the oflicers and men of Fort Bragg. the Fiscal Division pays out large sums to the civilian em- ployees of the Post and through the commercial accounts section makes payments to commercial firms for goods or services rendered to the government at Fort Bragg. Every effort is made to promptly pay these commercial accounts, as in the case of payment to enlisted men. The Division has achieved such success in this held that a letter from the Quartermaster General was received, commending the Division for its cooperation with the Fayetteville Quarter- master Market Center. Farmers of this area have been paid so promptly that they have the greatest conhdence in and desire to deal with the Market Center, thus facilitating the procurement of subsistence for the Army and Navy. Disbursements of approximately fz'5I50,000,0I7tI and 2,000,000 payments to military and civilian personnel i11 two and one-half years attest to the magnitude of the work carried on by this Division.
