Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Aircraft Requirement Study.
Abstract
The Air Force Audit Agency (AFAA) concluded in its Report of Audit EB0980013 (13 May 98), Air Force Oversight of CY 1996 Civil Air Patrol Corporation Activities, CAP-USAF, Maxwell AFB, AL 36112-6323 (Project 96516051), that CAP-USAF accepted from Civil Air Patrol, Incorporated, (hereafter referred to as CAP) aircraft and motor vehicle reimbursement requests without independently validating the need for the size of the fleets. The USAF reimburses CAP for Air Force assigned missions in accordance with the MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING between the United States Air Force and Civil Air Patrol (25 January 1991; amended 8 November 1991) and CAP Regulation 173-3 (1 May 1996) and is discussed in more detail on page 2 of this report. As a result, the AFAA estimated appropriated funds were used to reimburse CAP for 200 to 373 unnecessary aircraft (approximate value of $15M to $27M) and associated operational costs. In Sep 98, HQ AETC/LG tasked the AFLMA to determine the appropriate CAP aircraft fleet size (requirement) to perform its mission. The objectives of the study were to determine the appropriate CAP aircraft fleet size to support: (1) USAF assigned reimbursable missions (those missions categorized as CAP "A" missions in appendix B); (2) USAF assigned non-reimbursable missions (those missions categorized as CAP "B" missions in appendix B) plus number (1) above; and (3) All other CAP Corporate missions (those missions categorized as CAP "C" or "L" missions in appendix B) plus number (2) above.
