I'm Major Brent Penny , the Functional Area 45 Assignment Officer. I hope you find this site useful both for finding your future assignment and for professional development. I welcome all Comptroller professionals to make this site serve you. Please check out the Hot Assignments and pass this site URL on to other Comptroller professionals. We are the logisticians of resources.
Comptrollers provide advice and guidance concerning resources to commanders and activity chiefs.
We issue instructions for the development and preparation of the program and budget. Comptrollers are responsible for developing performance factors, analyzing capabilities based on resources available, and then recommending appropriate funding to implement approved programs. We evaluate organizational structure and functional responsibilities, conduct work analyses and studies of organizational problems for the purpose of recommending improvements. We, as Functional Area 45 Comptrollers, must act as the 'honest brokers' concerning the allocation of resources, must exhibit the highest standards of integrity, discretion, judgment and professional ethic. The bottom line is that everything we do in the Army has a price associated with it.
