The CAP-National Operations Center outlines the standard procedures for mission requests, primarily serving federal agencies and military operations. Requests must be submitted in writing via email, fax, or letter, and must detail identifiable dates, locations, and objectives. The mission type must be feasible for the Air Force to conduct independently. Requests for corporate and counterdrug missions must meet specific criteria and provide necessary documentation. Validations by law enforcement are needed for federal-level missions. Ensure compliance with all regulations for successful approval.
