EagleCash is a cash management tool designed to support U.S. military personnel deployed in combat zones and on peace-keeping missions. The program, which improves convenience for Soldiers and other authorized personnel, was developed and is managed jointly by the U.S. Army, U.S. Air Force and U.S. Department of the Treasury. The program uses smart-card tech

nology and off-line batch processing to reduce the amount of U.S. currency in circulation overseas, and to take workload out of the base Finance Office, thus freeing up military personnel for other essential duties. EagleCash cards are issued at selected pre-deployment sites in the U.S., and at Finance Offices in contingency areas of operation where the program has been deployed.
