- 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

- 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

- Mission reporting – automated
- Financial reimbursement – auto fill for CAP Form 108

## 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
