Chapter 1

GENERAL PURPOSE AND SCOPE

1.1. Purpose: Provide guidance and a standardized approach to procure and sustain these equipment items. Additionally, it outlines overall management responsibilities for aircraft sun shades, crew shelters and portable/inflatable shelters.

1.2. Scope: Applies to all AF units possessing or procuring these equipment items to support logistics operations. It applies to any aircraft sun shade installed in the flight line or maintenance areas. This includes conventional force logistics units; nuclear and nuclear support units; cyber and space; special operations; wholesale-level procurement, sustainment, and maintenance;

aerial port squadrons; logistics readiness squadrons; research, test, and development units. It does not include medical logistics, civil engineering logistics, security forces units and communications units.

1.2.1. Aircraft sun shades and other shelter types as defined below and addressed in this instruction are considered equipment items for accountability purposes and will be tracked/accounted for locally on appropriate documents (i.e. R-14/R-15) and managed IAW

AFMAN 23-110, USAF Supply Manual. Items will also be assigned locally generated identification numbers and tracked in the MIS. These assets are not listed on unit authorized equipment tables of allowance because they are not required support equipment for weapons systems. These assets are the responsibility of the owning organization who will ensure all other applicable organizations with appropriate subject matter expertise are involved in the procurement, installation, repair, sustainment, and replacement of these assets.

1.3. Definitions.

1.3.1. Aircraft Sun Shades: Structure with the sole purpose of providing minimal protection for personnel from the elements (sun, wind, rain, snow, etc.) with a roof and a maximum of two sides. Aircraft sun shades are not considered as temporary or relocatable facilities associated with MILCON projects. Procedures for temporary or relocatable facilities associated with MILCON projects are contained in AFI 32-1021, Planning and

Programming Military Construction (MILCON) Projects. Aircraft sun shades are not intended to replace aircraft maintenance hangars and as such there is no requirement associated with aircraft specifications or real property procedures contained in AFI 32-1024, Standard Facilities Requirements, or AFMAN 32-1084, Facility Requirements. This term is now the standard term to identify these structures.

1.3.1.1. Aircraft sun shades are not considered temporary facilities. In addition, though it is possible to relocate aircraft sun shades, they are not considered relocatable facilities per the definition in AFI 32-1021. Relocatable buildings are designed to be readily erected, disassembled, stored, moved, and reused to meet a short-term requirement for facilities due to either transitory peak requirements or urgent requirements pending approval, such as construction of facilities via normal military construction programs.

According to AFI 32-1021, Chapter 6, Relocatable and Temporary Facilities, the terms temporary and relocatable are interchangeable. Furthermore, AFI 32-1021 provides guidance on satisfying interim facility requirements using relocatable or temporary facilities. Aircraft sun shades are not incident or interim to a MILCON project, nor are

AFI21-136 20 JULY 2012 3

they in place to meet a temporary requirement; therefore the terms temporary or relocatable as used in AFI 32-1021 does not apply to aircraft sun shades.

1.3.2. Crew Shelters: Any portable or prefabricated structure placed inside/under or erected to support activities within an aircraft sun shade, hangar, hardened aircraft shelter or protective aircraft shelter. These should not be confused with other shelters that are designed for personnel protection only (e.g. End-of-Runway shacks).

1.3.3. Portable/Inflatable shelters: A structure constructed using layers of membrane connected together using pressurized air to produce a structure which covers limited areas

(e.g. cargo aircraft engine, open fuel tanks) of an aircraft or equipment.

1.3.4. Allied support: Utilities (e.g. electrical, water, air, communications, etc.) provided up to a stub at each aircraft sun shade. Utilities are real property assets. Installation of new utility services carries a work classification of Construction. See paragraph 2.9.
