Civil Air Patrol Program

Civil Air Patrol × DoD is CFDA 12.840, not a squadron census

This page is a join: Civil Air Patrol Program (CFDA 12.840) and the Department of Defense (agency 097). $526,836,984.06 is the obligation sum on that pair. It is not the government-wide assistance total, not every CFDA on All programs, and not cash already paid. Correlation is not causation: a large pair cell does not prove the Department of Defense caused activity described by the program title, or the reverse. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; FEC donations do not fund these USAspending obligations.

/programs/12.840/ is the program parent without an awarding-agency filter. /agencies/097/ is the agency parent without this CFDA filter. /ties/ lists other pairs and /programs/ lists other CFDA hubs. A Civil Air Patrol Program award tagged to a different awarding agency sits outside this cell even if the CFDA is still 12.840. A Department of Defense award on a different CFDA sits outside even if the topic sounds related. Two awards against a large book is a thin file. Do not read 2 as 2 unique wings or 2 unique squadrons. Unique recipients remain unpublished.

Civil Air Patrol Program as the program side

CFDA 12.840 is Civil Air Patrol Program. Confusing this join with Community Investment 12.600, Install Conservation 12.005, or an Air Force flying-hour ranking would be a different table. Packet facts on the program side are the name Civil Air Patrol Program, number 12.840, and program-wide obligations $526,836,984.06. This packet lists no award recipients and no contractor names. Any other vendor, school, tribe, carrier, or grantee list would be invented.

Readers sometimes treat a CFDA–agency total as a budget Congress passed for a named activity. $526,836,984.06 is not that. It is the USAspending obligation rollup tagged to Civil Air Patrol Program and awarded by the Department of Defense. Cite both sides. Do not merge this cell with Community Investment (CFDA 12.600) or installation natural-resources (CFDA 12.005).
