department of defense agency financial report fiscal year 2012

Department of Defense Agency Financial Report for FY 2012
carriers. After considerable research and input from the DCMA Contingency Contract
Administration Services (CCAS) Operations Team, deployed personnel, and DCMA
Kuwait Operations personnel, the CSC developed, coordinated and posted the “Freedom
Flight Policy” which directs all DCMA CCAS personnel to use Military Air transport for
CCAS missions entering deployment and redeployment. Travel vouchers are certified
and verified by CSC personnel ensuring Freedom Flights are utilized as required. In the
first year since the inception of the Freedom Flight Policy, the Agency had an estimated
$1 million in savings. The CSC continues to leverage the use of these non-commercial
flights to achieve fiscal stewardship and cost savings within the Agency.
• Mobile Aircraft Fire Trainers (Force Readiness). Air Force firefighters are required to
complete two live aircraft training exercises and a crew-based, issue-focused training
event each year. The Air Force entered into a contract to obtain a five-year operational
lease that provides two Mobile Aircraft Fire Trainers (MAFT) to serve four installations.
The MAFT allows each installation to conduct crew-based proficiency training on an asneeded
basis, ensuring firefighters maintain mandatory certification training and that the
installation airfield meets annual Federal Aviation Administration certification criteria.
Air Force firefighters train with civilian firefighters from five locations to remove simulated victims
from a burning aircraft on Francis S. Gabreski Air National Guard Base in Westhampton, New
York. The airmen are assigned to the 106th Civil Engineering Squadron. Kellogg University
provided the mock aircraft, which burned with propane at an estimated 1,200 degrees.
