Description:
This program includes vehicles to support Civil Air Patrol (CAP) operational and management activities. The CAP program includes the
procurement of seven passenger vans, fifteen passenger vans, 4X4 SUVs, four door mid-size vehicles, and five passenger vans. Their primary
purpose is to provide transportation for cadet and senior members attending meetings and functions of the AF auxiliary. Operational support
applications include command and control for search and rescue, counterdrug, disaster relief, and training missions authorized as AF missions
for their auxiliary.
AF has validated CAP’s fleet at 980 vehicles. This procurement of 33 vehicles is consistent with AF vehicle replacement policies.
Failure to provide these vehicles will increase average vehicle fleet age well over CAP’s ten-year average and will more than double the AF
average fleet age. As age increases safety risks and maintenance costs also increase.
