Whose funds pay for inter-command witnesses?

Whose funds pay for inter-command witnesses?

• A. JAJM's through WFMS
• B. Convening Authority's funds
• C. Witness's own funds
• D. Local finance office funds

Answer: (A)

When a witness from a different command is needed, the payment of those costs comes through a centralized funding path: JAJM’s funds routed via the WFMS. This setup ensures that cross-command witness travel, per diem, and related expenses are funded consistently and accounted for properly, without burdening the convening command. The convening authority’s funds are typically used for costs tied to proceedings within its own command, not for inter-command witnesses. Having the witness pay out of pocket isn’t allowed for such government proceedings, and local finance office funds handle routine command-level finances rather than cross-command witness support.
