Civil Air Patrol Program awarded by Department of Defense

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 Unique recipients remain unpublished.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).

Department of Defense as the awarding-agency side

Awarding-agency code 097 is the Department of Defense. It is not a bureau split inside that department, not a place-of-performance state, and not a NAICS industry. In this extract the pair cell $526,836,984.06 matches the program-wide obligation total $526,836,984.06. Do not treat the program-wide $526,836,984.06 as if it were automatically the pair headline when the two figures differ. When they match, equality still does not name recipients.

2 awards behind the Civil Air Patrol–Defense cell

The extract lists 2 awards on the Civil Air Patrol × DoD pair. An extremely concentrated file: 2 awards against a large obligation total. Dividing $526,836,984.06 by 2 yields about $263.42 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice and not a median. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. 2 is not a squadron census, a named-wing roster, or a flight-hour ledger.

Civil Air Patrol obligations are not flight hours already flown

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $526,836,984.06 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared over-reads the field. The join cannot say that the Department of Defense specialized in civil air patrol because of federal demand. Keep $526,836,984.06 labeled as Civil Air Patrol Program obligations awarded by the Department of Defense. It is not a squadron census, a named-wing roster, or a flight-hour ledger. The packet publishes no fiscal year, so this page does not invent one.

Budget justifications, program catalogs, and private scorecards answer other questions. They are not the source of this cell. If a chart mixes Community Investment 12.600, Install Conservation 12.005, or an Air Force flying-hour ranking with CFDA 12.840 at agency 097, the chart has left this join. Wing names, aircraft counts, and mission-hour totals are unpublished on this packet.
