U S Air Force Mishap Prevention Program Air Force Instruction Afi 91 202 Main Usaf Document And Air National Guard Supplement About Aviation Nuclear And Space Safety

Two critical mishap program documents, one for the USAF and one for the Air National Guard, are reproduced here. This instruction implements Air Force Policy Directive (AFPD) 91-2, Safety Programs. It establishes mishap prevention program requirements, assigns responsibilities for program elements and contains program management information. Purpose - Minimize loss of Air Force resources and protect Air Force people from death, injuries or illnesses by managing risks on- and off-duty. This program applies to all operations except where otherwise prescribed or specified in Status-of-Forces Agreements. Mishap Prevention Program - Commanders at all levels are responsible for developing and implementing a mishap prevention program. Safety staffs at all levels assist commanders with the implementation and integration of risk management into all on-duty operations and missions, and off-duty activities.

The Air Force System Safety Handbook was prepared as a resource document for program office system safety managers and system safety engineers. It is not designed to answer every question on the topic of system safety nor is it a cookbook that guarantees success. The handbook provides considerable insight to the general principles, objectives, and requirements of applying system safety concepts to the Air Force system acquisition and logistical support processes. Programs vary greatly in their scope and complexity, requiring a tailored system safety effort. Assigned to this difficult task are military and government personnel with varied education and experience backgrounds. These system safety practitioners need a comprehensive understanding of the system safety process and the complexities of applying it to a given program. This handbook will assist in providing much of the necessary information but additional, more detailed guidance will be required from the program office and their higher headquarters system safety experts. The ultimate objective of any organization within the Air Force is maximizing combat capability. One element in this maximizing process is protecting and conserving combat weapon systems and their support equipment. Preventing mishaps and reducing system losses is one important aspect of conserving these resources. System safety contributes to mishap prevention by minimizing system risks due to hazards consistent with other cost, schedule, and design requirements. The fundamental objective of system safety is to identify, eliminate or control, and document system hazards. 1.0 Introduction To System Safety * 2.0 System Safety Policy And Process * 3.0 Risk Assessment * 4.0 System Safety Program * 5.0 System Safety Program Plan (Sspp) * 6.0 Other Management Tasks (Ref 30) * 7.0 Design And Integration Tasks * 8.0 Design Evaluation, Compliance, And Verification * 9.0 Analysis Techniques * 10.0 System Safety Life-Cycle Activities * 11.0 Program Office System Safety * 12.0 Contracting For System Safety * 13.0 Evaluating Contractor System Safety * 14.0 Facilities System Safety * 15.0 Supplementary Requirements * 16.0 Nuclear Safety * 17.0 Explosives Safety * 18.0 System Safety In Logistics * 20.0 Test And Evaluation Safety

This anthology discusses the converging operational issues of air base defense and counterinsurgency. It explores the diverse challenges associated with defending air assets and joint personnel in a counterinsurgency environment. The authors are primarily Air Force officers from security forces, intelligence, and the office of special investigations, but works are included from a US Air Force pilot and a Canadian air force officer. The authors examine lessons from Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other conflicts as they relate to securing air bases and sustaining air operations in a high-threat counterinsurgency environment. The essays review the capabilities, doctrine, tactics, and training needed in base defense operations and recommend ways in which to build a strong, synchronized ground defense partnership with joint and combined forces. The authors offer recommendations on the development of combat leaders with the depth of knowledge, tactical and operational skill sets, and counterinsurgency mind set necessary to be effective in the modern asymmetric battlefield.

This two-in one resource includes the Tactical Commanders and Staff Toolkit plus the Liaison Officer Toolkit. Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA)) enables tactical level Commanders and their Staffs to properly plan and execute assigned DSCA missions for all hazard operations, excluding Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, high yield Explosives (CBRNE) or acts of terrorism. Applies to all United States military forces, including Department of Defense (DOD) components (Active and Reserve forces and National Guard when in Federal Status). This hand-on resource also may be useful information for local and state first responders. Chapter 1 contains background information relative to Defense Support of Civil Authorities (DSCA) including legal, doctinal, and policy issues. Chapter 2 provides an overview of the incident management processes including National Response Framework (NRF), National Incident Management Systems (NIMS), and Incident Command System (ICS) as well as Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Chapter 3 discuses the civilian and military responses to natural disaster. Chapter 4 provides a brief overview of Joint Operation Planning Process and mission analyis. Chapter 5 covers Defense Support of Civilian Authorities (DSCA) planning factors for response to all hazard events. Chapter 6 is review of safety and operational composite risk management processes Chapters 7-11 contain Concepts of Operation (CONOPS) and details five natrual hazards/disasters and the pertinent planning factors for each within the scope of DSCA.
