First Command Company History

First Command Financial Services was founded in 1958 by Caroll Payne. Payne was a retired military officer who realized that military families were in need of financial assistance. The company he started was called United Services Investment Association. This was later changed to United Services Planning Association. The name of the company did not become First Command until 2001.

In the mid 1960s, Payne realized that insurance to protect one’s family and financial assets was an important part of financial planning. It was at that time that the company first began selling Life Insurance. Other insurance products were not added until several decades later.
