The Eagle Health team will be responsible for various services, equipment, and supply agreements; maintaining general ledgers, associated funding, and invoicing using the General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS); and coordinating manpower requirements, including hiring, performance evaluations, awards, and personnel rosters. In addition, the Eagle Health team will provide assistance to TATRC leadership, coordinate logistics and property management functions, prepare official travel orders and vouchers, implement security policies and procedures, including the organization’s force protection plan, and perform operational impact assessments.
