This training & certification program is directed by AR 95-1.

Completion of this training is mandatory prior to performing any initial mission approval authority (IMAA), mission briefing officer

(MBO), and/or final mission approval authority (FMAA) duties.

Mission Approval Process Training & Certification Requirements

Conducted by CDR or CDR’s representative prior to IMA, MBO, or

FMAA duties.

Documentation shall be accomplished by a DA Form 7122-R entry.

HISTORY

Current AR 95-1 policy is derivative of former VCSA guidance:

“Commanders approve missions---experience briefs missions.”

“Only PCs may brief missions---this is an experienced 2nd look.”

--GEN Cody

POI vs. NON-POI

Unless specified, the policy herein applies to POI and NON-POI missions.

POI missions are defined as those missions directly supported by an approved 110th AVN BDE FTG.

APARTs, proficiency flight evaluations, to include NVG, no-notice, post accident, and medical flight evaluations are NON-POI missions.

The Mission Approval Process is conducted in

3 distinct steps:

Initial Mission Approval (IMA): STEP 1

Mission Planning & Briefing (MPB): STEP 2

Final Mission Approval (FMA): STEP 3

The IMAA

IMAA for any 1-212th AVN REGT mission is the BN CDR.

IMAA within respective companies is the respective CO CDR.

The MBO

Designated and limited in number by the CO CDR.

May be CDRs, XOs, PLT LDRs, SEC LDRs, Ops Officers, STDZ Officers, IPs, SPs, and Safety

Officers.CO CDR forwards MBO rank/name, position, and

limits of authority to 1-212th AVN REGT BN STDZ.

EX: CW2 Aviator, SEC LDR, AQC, CT/CS/NVG

The MBO (cont’d)

MBOs shall exercise MBO authority only within respective unit of assignment, e.g., F CO MBOs exercise MBO authority within F CO, etc., and

as constrained by the CO CDR.

The MBO (cont’d)

There are three exceptions to the aforementioned constraint:

1. A CO and B CO MBOs are authorized to perform MBO duties for any OH58/TH67 mission within A or B CO, irrespective of MBO unit of assignment, provided all other MBO qualifications herein are met.

The MBO (cont’d)

2. B CO and F Co ME’s are authorized to perform MBO duties for any 1-212th MTPC/ ME Mission within B or F Co irrespective of MBO unit of assignment provided that other applicable MBO qualifications herein are met.

The MBO (cont’d)

3. SPs assigned to the 1-212th AVN REGT BN STDZ Section may perform MBO duties for any 1-212th mission provided all other MBO qualifications herein are met.

The MBO (cont’d)

MBO selection is based on experience, maturity, judgment, and ability to effectively mitigate

aircrew risk.

The eminent qualifications for MBO are PC and qualified and current in the mission profile to be

briefed.

Qualified and current in mission profile defined:

PC with all applicable currency requirements met IAW authorized flight duties and tasks on the

MBO’s CTL.If you are the MBO who is to brief a UH60 NVG

EXT LOAD mission, you must be a UH60 PC, UH60 current, UH60 NVG current, and be a PC

with EXT LOADs on your CTL.

The MBO (cont’d)

The MBO is that critical, experienced look that is expected to:

a. identify risk in mission planning and

b. provide the operational wisdom to mitigate it.

Therefore, MBOs may conduct MBO duties regardless of mitigated risk.

Who has self-brief authority?

Any MBO during POI missions.

The FMAAThe BN CDR retains FMAA for any

1-212th AVN REGT mission.

The FMAAs within respective companies are the respective CO CDRs and PLT LDRs selected by the

respective CO CDR.

The Chief, 1-212 BN STDZ possesses FMAA for any HHC 1-212th mission.

Authority to include PLT LDRs as FMAA is provided IAW USAACE Policy Memo 11-04.

The FMAA

NOTES on PLT LDRs with FMAA Authority

PLT LDRs with FMAA authority may do so intra-unit at the discretion of the CO CDR.

A CO PLT LDRs with FMAA may do so for any OH58/TH67 flight operation under the jurisdiction of

the 1-212th AVN REGT at Shell AHP.

The FMAA (cont’d)

FMAA is executed on the mission, not the aircrew.

Therefore, an FMAA is authorized to perform FMAA duties for a mission that assigns a PC

from another unit.

The FMAA (cont’d)

FMAA shall remain IAW the USAACE Risk Decision Authority memorandum 11-04:

Low risk FMAA is the CO CDR/PLT LDR.

Moderate risk FMAA is the BN CDR.

High risk FMAA is the 110th AVN BDE CDR.

Extremely high risk FMAA is the CG, USAACE.

The center of gravity of this entire process is our best effort to keep each step segregated, this is, each step performed by

different members of the mission approval/briefing

process .

BN CDR’s segregation intent in the Mission Approval Process steps:

NO PERSON SHALL PERFORM MORE THAN TWO (2) STEPS OF THE MISSION

APPROVAL PROCESS WITHIN THEIR RESPECTIVE QUALIFICATIONS.

Example of a potential occurrence wherein a CDR may perceive authority to

perform all three (3) steps:CPT America is the CDR, E CO 1-212th.

CPT America conducts IMA on the weekly flight schedule for a FSXXI UH60 NVG POI mission where NVG external loads are to be conducted

on the following night.

So…let’s walk this through.

CPT America is authorized to conduct IMA as the CDR of E CO, 1-212th.

CPT America is authorized to brief this mission because he is a designated E CO MBO, a

current UH60 IP (PC), UH60 NVG current, has NVG EXT LOADS on her CTL.

The PLT LDR is called away and he decides to step in and brief the mission, and endorse it as

the FMAA.

Issue?

Yes; he shall not perform both of the remaining duties of MBO and FMAA. As the CDR, he

performed IMA for this mission.

In this case, he must acquire an MBO to brief the mission, or one of her PLT LDRs (or BN CDR)

to perform FMAA.

STEP 1Initial Mission Approval (IMA)

IMA is embedded and is considered to be complete based on the approval of the

USAACE White book and associated POIs and FTGs.

Therefore, further record beyond this embedded IMA is not required.

STEP 1IMA (cont’d)

IMA for NON-POI missions is based on alignment with METL, a/c required vs. available, mission equipment requirements, trained aircrew, and

impact on other missions.

IMA for NON-POI missions shall not occur beyond the weekly flight schedule.

The IMAA shall sign a record of the weekly flight schedule indicating date of signature.

Digital signature & record of IMA is authorized.

An IMA change or addition is defined as an action that affects a DA Form 5484-R entry.

(Exception: The date is the only exceptions within the approved weekly flight schedule.)

Changes or additions to the weekly flight schedule may be documented by issuance of

the same weekly flight schedule, noting changes/additions, and indicating IMA and date

of same.

STEP 2Mission Planning & Briefing (MPB)

Conducted IAW the 1-212th/ 110th AVN BDE Mission Briefing Officer Checklist (MBOC) and the 1 SEP 10 version of the 1-212th/110th AVN

BDE Risk Assessment Worksheet (RAW).

MBO shall verify that the IMA is complete and documented.

Participants in this step shall not be less than the MBO and PC; AMC, and if designated

ACSIs/FIs.

STEP 2MPB (cont’d)

This step reviews mission planning with the MBO and PC or AMC and is THE detailed risk assessment and risk mitigation action.

POI MBOs shall sign/date the RAW signifying the completed briefing requirments

POI MBO shall sign/date RAW as AMC if self brief.

Otherwise, AMC signs/dates RAW, accordingly.

POI PCs shall initial manifest or a/c issue log signifying that they have received the mission

briefing..

NON-POI missions require appropriate entries on the MBOC, DA Form 5484, and 1-212th RAW.

MBOs shall use the DA Form 5484-R for NON-POI missions.

Summary: POI: Brief the MBOC.

POI MBO sign/date RAW.

If MBO is also AMC, MBO signs/dates as AMC.

Otherwise, AMC signs/dates accordingly.

MBO/ PCs initial manifest or a/c issue log.

NON-POI: Brief the MBOC.

NON-POI missions require appropriate entries on the MBOC, DA Form 5484, RAW.

Aircrew and/or mission changes that increase the risk decision authority per the descriptors of this

training & certification restart the IMA, MPB, and FMA.

Recurrent IP/student changes associated with our POI missions will occur. Therefore, the aforementioned aircrew change directive

does not apply to POI missions.

MPB that occurs prior to previous duty day restarts MPB and FMA only.

STEP 2 may be digitally managed, signed, and maintained. If individual IPs don’t fill out their RAW

they will initial by their line showing they have reviewed the RAW for that mission.

A record of the DA Form 5484, MBOC, manifest/aircraft issue log and the 1-212th/ 110th AVN BDE RAW

administered in this step shall be maintained for NLT 30 days.

Here’s how HHC and BN STDZ is gonna do this “previous duty day” constraint:

Our mission cycles (duty day) are commensurate with all other 1-212th units: 0500 to 0100; a 20

hour 1-212th duty day.

If an HHC/BN STDZ MBO briefs a mission anytime during that 20 hour duty day, that

mission may be executed anytime during the following duty day.

What about duty day to duty day with regard to weekends, holidays, DONSAs?

It is as stated earlier. Duty day to duty day.

If an HHC/BN STDZ MBO briefs a mission anytime during the 20 hour duty day of a THU preceding a holiday/DONSA, that mission may be executed anytime during the following duty

day, TUE of following week.

STEP 2(cont’d)

The Mission Briefing Officer Checklist

NOTE: This is only a training overview of the MBOC rather than a comprehensive list of all considerations therein.

Commander’s Intent

MBO entries herein shall be as descriptive as necessary to assure attention, completion, and

verification. This may vary from verbal acknowledgement to check marks to written

responses, as required. The MBOC is intended to facilitate “challenge and reply” interaction between the MBO & PC(s) or AMC(s) to include SIs/FIs, as

applicable, without further need for any entry herein. CO CDRs may add to this MBOC. Risk identification

and mitigation is the objective of the MBOC.

MBOC GUIDED DISCUSSION

STEP 3Final Mission Approval (FMA)

The FMAA shall review the mission validity, planning, and risk assessment and mitigation.

The FMAA approves the mission by signing the 1-212th/ 110th AVN BDE RAW and indicating

date of signature.

FMA shall not precede the previous duty day.

Failure to comply resets MPB and FMA.

Define previous duty day, or duty day to duty day as in STEP 2.

Verbal or digital FMA is authorized.

FMA on the 1-212th/ 110th AVN BDE RAW may be digitally managed, signed, and maintained.

A record of the FMAA on the 1-212th/ 110th AVN BDE RAW administered in this step shall be

maintained for 30 days or as directed.

DD Form 175

All NON-POI missions shall be filed on

DD Form 175.

The DD Form 175 “SIGNATURE OF APPROVAL AUTHORITY” block shall be the

PC since all other approval and briefing requirements in the Mission Approval Process

have been met prior to this action.

Evaluation

NOTE: Each evaluation item below is intended to be a review of the critical points in our Mission

Approval Process Training & Certification Program.

Therefore, an immediate reply of the correct answer is provided.

What are the 3 steps in the Mission Approval Process?

Initial Mission Approval: IMA

Mission Planning and Briefing: MPB

Final Mission Approval: FMA

In the 1-212th AVN REGT, what do we consider to be the “center of gravity” in our

Mission Approval Process?

The center of gravity of this entire process is our best effort to keep each step segregated. NO PERSON SHALL PERFORM MORE THAN

TWO (2) STEPS OF THE MISSION APPROVAL PROCESS WITHIN THEIR

RESPECTIVE QUALIFICATIONS.

Authorized or Not Authorized: F CO MBO, CW2 Aviator, may conduct IMAA and MBO

duties, to include self-brief.

Not Authorized: IMAA is restricted to the BN CDR or respective CO CDRs.

Authorized or Not Authorized: CPT Aviation, C CO CDR, is a current UH60 NVG IP, possessing all FSXXI POI/FTG

tasks on his CTL. He intends to brief an AM BCS section that he also IMA’d and FMA’d on the weekly flight schedule but will fly in

the other BCS section downstairs.

NOT AUTHORIZED. Irrespective of his qualifications and to perform all three steps of the mission approval process, no person in the 1-212th AVN REGT shall ever perform

more than two (2) steps.

Who has self-brief authority?

Any MBO for POI missions only, within the constraints of this policy.

Who is/are the IMAA(s) for any 1-212th AVN REGT mission?

BN CDR

Who is/are the IMAA(s) within the respective companies of 1-212th AVN

CO CDR

Who designates MBOs?

CO CDR

From what positions may they be chosen?

May be CDRs, XOs, PLT LDRs, SEC LDRs, Ops Officers, STDZ Officers, IPs, SPs, and Safety

Officers.

Who receives and maintains the rosters for IMAAs/MBOs/FMAAs?

IMAA’s are designated by position (CDR’s) in the BN Stanz Memo

Co’s Maintain their own MBO Rosters AND forward a Copy to BN STDZ

FMAA’s are maintained by 1-212th AVN REGT BN STDZ Section

(DAC Leland Tingey)

Who may be solicited to perform as an MBO, within the constraints of this policy,

regardless of unit of assignment?

SPs assigned to the 1-212th AVN REGT BN STDZ Section

What are the “eminent” qualifications for designation as an MBO?

PC and qualified and current in the mission profile to be briefed.

Define “qualified and current in mission profile”?

PC with all applicable currency requirements met IAW authorized flight duties and tasks on the MBO’s CTL.

T or F: MBOs may only brief low risk missions.

FALSE. MBOs may conduct MBO duties regardless of mitigated risk.

Scenario: You are an IP in F CO looking for an FMAA for your mission. “Who” are your

options?

F CO CDR, F CO PLT LDRs or BN CDR.

REMEMBER THAT PLT LDRs WITH FMAA AUTHORITY MAY DO SO INTRA-UNIT.

Who is the FMAA for moderate risk missions in the 1-212th AVN REGT?

BN CDR

Who is the FMAA for high risk missions in the 1-212th AVN REGT?

110th AVN BDE CDR

Who is the FMAA for extremely high risk missions in the 1-212th AVN REGT?

CG, USAACE

How far in advance may the CO CDR “IMA” POI missions?

POI IMA is “embedded” and therefore does not require further action.

How far in advance may the CO CDR “IMA” NON-POI missions?

Not beyond the weekly flight schedule.

Who are the minimum participants in the MPB (STEP 2)?

MBO & PC/ AMC, and if designated ACFIs/SIs,.

Of the 3 steps in the Mission Approval Process, which is THE detailed risk

assessment/mitigation action?

STEP 2: Mission Planning & Briefing (MPB).

Scenario: During an MPB, the mission experiences a change that you and the

MBO determine to elevate the mission risk to moderate. So what?

The IMA, MPB, and FMA is restarted. If you can’t mitigate back down, you will need the BN

CDR for FMAA.

T or F: B CO MBOs may conduct MBO duties within A CO.

TRUE…but explanation is needed: A CO and B CO MBOs are authorized to perform MBO duties for any OH58/TH67 mission within A or B CO, irrespective of MBO unit of assignment,

provided all other MBO qualifications herein are met.

T or F: B CO PLT LDRs with FMAA may conduct FMA duties within A CO or

Headhunter. FALSE…but explanation is needed: Only A

CO FMAAs may perform FMA duties for OH58/TH67 flight operations at Shell AHP for

missions outside of A CO, such as HeadHunter or training/evaluation conducted

by BN STDZ @ Shell AHP.

Scenario: You are a SEC LDR in F CO AQC. You have had to change some of the IP/student (aircrew) assignments in today’s

AQC POI mission. So what?

That’s right, so what. Regarding the Mission Approval Process, this changes nothing.

Scenario: You are the PC on a NON-POI mission. The date entry that you and the

MBO made on the 5484 & RAW has expired by more than the “previous duty day”. So

The MPB and FMA is restarted.

At the conclusion of a POI MPB (STEP 2), what entries are required where, by whom,

and for how long to you keep it?POI MBO signs/dates RAW.

If MBO is AMC, sign/date accordingly; if not, AMC signs/dates accordingly.

POI PCs shall initial RAW and manifest or a/c issue log.

Keep them for NLT 30 days.

At the conclusion of the NON-POI MPB (STEP 2), what entries are required where, by whom, and for how long to you keep it?

Appropriate entries shall be made on the MBOC, 5484, and RAW.

Keep them for NLT 30 days.

How far in advance can FMA (STEP 3) occur?

FMA shall not precede previous duty day.

If FMA expires, what now?

If the date on the RAW expires by more than “previous duty day”, the MPB and FMA are

restarted.

How does the FMAA indicate FMA?

By signing the 1-212th/ 110th AVN BDE MBOC/ RAW and indicating the date of signature.

If no other means are available, may I get the MBO and FMAA to conduct their actions

either verbally or digitally?

How long do we need to keep record of FMAA actions?

NLT 30 days.

Lastly, what do I do with the “SIGNATURE OF APPROVAL AUTHORITY” block on the

DD Form 175?

That signature will be the PC since all other approval and briefing requirements in the Mission Approval Process have been met

prior to this action.
