MCTFS supports centralized business-critical pay functions for the Marine Corps Enterprise on time and accurately, including computation and payment of net pay to individual Marines, while accommodating all necessary system change requests to meet current legislative, regulatory, mission essential, force reset, and contingency change requirements.
The system provides for recording, processing, and maintaining of military personnel and pay data on a continuing basis within the Marine Corps.
It uses an integrated, single logical data base to process transactions, at one central location at the Defense Enterprise Computing Center (DECC) in Mechanicsburg.
As such, the OEMF is subordinate in precedence to the Official Military Personnel File (OMPF) maintained by the Commandant of the Marine Corps (Code MMSB).
Feedback to these levels of command and management via reports and to the RU's via online files is critical to the quality control of information within the MCTFS.
Records containing specified data elements for all military personnel (Active and Reserve components, to include retirees) comprise the Central Master File (CMF).
