Web Mission Information and Reporting System, or WMIRS (pronounced “Whim-Ers”), is the system CAP uses to manage all mission activities for both ground and air assets. It is located inside eServices and is interacted with through your internet browser. WMIRS skills are necessary for CAP sUAS Teams because all operational missions and some training missions will be conducted under WMIRS sorties.
CAP Standard 72-2 defines a wide variety of mission symbols and their associated mission types. Page 8 lists all missions specifically for sUAS.
On “A” and “B” AFAMs, operations (flying) and transportation can be conducted under the same sortie. Only Blue UAS Drones may be used for these (Skydio X2D or similar). Most “C” missions allow use of non-Blue List UAS drones like DJI, Skydio 2 and similar. The exception are C88 Missions in support of state agencies. You would need to check with those agencies and see if they allow non-Blue List UAS.
NHQ currently allows sUAS Teams to use AFAM missions for Transport to and from your training sites. This provides an advantage to teams because you get additional insurance on AFAMs and you can get USAF reimbursement for your gas money. NHQ specifically has this to say about this issue:
“The sUAS AFAMs (other than the C-sUAS) require the approval of NORTHCOM and this can be an involved process. We have, however, established a precedence with NORTHCOM & AFNORTH for these federal support missions. Each wing now has an annual sUAS "C" training mission. Just a reminder: sUAS flights in training may NOT be conducted under an AFAM number (a "T" number). You MAY, however, move personnel, equipment, and vehicles under a "T" number and then conduct operations under the “C” mission." — **[Programmatic Update, 29 Nov 2019 , pg.2, paragraph 3]
The Wing’s DOU should work with their DO to coordinate on which mission to use for Transport Sorties. Alternatively, you might request that a mission be create specifically for transport sorties supporting sUAS Training. See below - The annual sUAS Training “C” Mission Established by NHQ and the sUAS Transport “A” Mission established by AZWG DO.
