Active Mission Tracking Aircraft Status Tracking Key Resource Tracking – SDIS – ARCHER Mission Reporting Web Mission Information Reporting System (WMIRS)

WMIRS Will be used for all AFAM and Corp Civil Support missions – If WWW access is not avail, NOC will input mission info Incident Commander and alerting officers should be WMIRS literate WMIRS

New Procedures AFI – Prescribes AFAM Approval Authority Military Interdepartmental Purchase Request (MIPR) – Military Customers must use beginning in FY06 – Drives lead time 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 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

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
