• Customer request/OPLAN/Sortie plan/Cost estimates• All required prior to MIPR acceptance

– Get Fiscal Year forecast from military customer• Request/OPLAN/MIPR cover entire FY

• Automation– Mission Approval & Reporting On-line

Background

Air Force Assigned Mission Status

• AFAM required for CAP support to federal agencies or military

• The mission must be one that the AF could do for itself

• Some historical missions are no longer approved

• AFAM status determined by AF Officer w/ 1AF, AFRCC, AFNSEP or CAP-USAF– AFAM no longer automatic via MOU/MOA

Execution

Corporate Missions

• Request procedures and requirements should parallel AFAM process

• FECA/FTCA coverage not available• CAP Insurance for liability• Mission requests for Civil Support (State,

County, Local agencies)– To NOC for legal review– Approval by WG/CC

• May NOT be used for Fed/Mil Customer

Requests

AFAM Mission Requests

• Written customer requests required

• Email preferred, fax or letter OK• Must include identifiable dates,

locations and objectives• May be in future if data complete• Mission numbers assigned after

approval

Procedures

AFAM Notes

• NOC does not approve…..AF does • NOC coordinates customer request

and relays CAP unit mission plans • If AF required procedures are not

followed or AF required information is not furnished, then 1AF/AFRCC/AFNSEP/CAP-USAF will not approve…..they are prohibited from doing so

LIMFACs

AFAM’s reported to 1AF

• Air Task Order (ATO)– Two ATO briefs to 1AF/CC per week

• 3 day & 4 day periods• Next period, all CAP AFAM’s scheduled are

listed• Previous period, CAP AFAM’s results are

reported– Date, Results, Time flown, etc

– Goal – List & Report all CAP AFAM’s – Classified “Secret” because of AF

missions

Coordination

Non CAP people in CAP Aircraft

• “Non CAP crew” vs. “passengers”– Crew members perform a function– Passengers go from Point A to Point B

on a transportation mission– Difference important to FAA

Passengers

Transportation missions

• Legal but several considerations– FAA rules…..not CAP or USAF– Customer can not pay, even indirectly– Commercial pilot preferred– Private pilot, yes but no “compensation”

• Can not count flight time (can be logged)• No money reimbursement except for Search

and Locate missions

– FAA action for violation• Directed at Pilot

Transportation

Counterdrug missions• Requests by federal drug law

enforcement agencies – Request & sortie plan are both required

before a mission number can be issued– Longer duration/complex missions may

require an Operations Plan

• Requests below federal level require validation by a federal drug law enforcement agent– Marij. Erad missions (DEA DCE/SP

coordinators)– All others any Federal drug LEA

Counterdrug

WMIRS Automation

• Mission information gathered and stored in WMIRS, accessible via WWW

• Mission reporting – automated• Financial reimbursement – auto fill

for CAP Form 108

Reporting

• Managed under NIIMS ref. Federal Response Plan

• Incident Commander assigned by lead federal agency

Multi-Agency Events

Conclusions

We have become a resource of choice for a number of support functions

Need to be customer and capability focused—not CAP-centric

Training + Education = Preparedness
