What is a 911T mission?
Correct Answer
B. An imminently serious mission to protect lives and property.
Explanation
The 911T program permits CAP wing commanders to launch aircraft or disperse ground teams on actual SAR/DR missions using a SAR/DR training mission number. In order to activate a 911T
mission, a responsible government official (federal, state, or local) must request and coordinate CAP assistance.
Imminently Serious Missions (911T) will only be used to save lives, relieve human suffering, or mitigate great property
damage. CAP members participating in 911T missions must be mission qualified in accordance with this regulation.
The wing commander, in conjunction with the wing LO/LNCO (or higher CAP-USAF official), is the only
individual who may authorize a 911T mission. In the absence of the wing commander, the vice commander, the director of
operations, or director of emergency services may exercise this authority. Whenever a 911T mission is activated, the wing
should continue to make every effort to have responsible authorities obtain an actual SAR or DR mission number from the
AFRCC or AFNSEP. The incident commander must track the assets committed to the 911T mission, given that the mission
is limited to a $500 reimbursement or a 48-hour duration, whichever comes first.
