Release of CAP regulation 174-1, CAP Property Management, and launch of the new online property management system are scheduled for Monday, 11 January, 2010. This all-new regulation will supersede CAP Regulations 67-1, Supply; 67-4, Acquiring, Reporting & Disposing of Corporate Aircraft; portions of 77-1, Operation & Maintenance of CAP Vehicles; 87-1, Real Property; 100-2, Comm Equipment Management;: and CAPR 900-6, Hull Self Insurance. The new online system is called the Operational Resource Management System (ORMS) and will replace both the CAP Asset Tracking System (CATS) and the Communications Equipment Management System (CEMS). Our thanks and appreciation go out to all who commented on the draft regulation or assisted with ORMS preliminary testing.

In order to ensure enough time to shift data into ORMS, we will shut down CATS and CEMS at 12:01am 7 January 2010. At that time no other operations in those systems will be possible. We recommend that units print out a copy of their S-1, S-2, S-3 and S-8 inventories in the days immediately preceding January 7th. This will provide units a reference copy to compare with the data in ORMS.

Permissions to various functions within ORMS are automatically granted by duty position. Over the next couple of weeks commanders should check unit rosters to make sure all communications, logistics, supply, and transportation officers have been properly appointed in eServices. Web security administrators will not be able to grant ORMS permissions.

If you have any questions please submit them to ORMS@capnhq.gov A copy of this message will be sent to all commanders, logistics, communications, supply and transportation officers.
