What is the AF system for UTC package management and is the source for identifying and communicating manpower and equipment planning data for all AF combat and support forces?

• A. DCAPES
• B. JPEE
• C. MEFPAK
• D. TPFDD

Answer: (A)

DCAPES is the Air Force system used to manage Unit Type Code (UTC) packages and to coordinate the manpower and equipment planning data that all combat and support forces rely on. It centralizes how UTCs are defined, packaged, tracked, and deployed, making it the primary channel for communicating these planning details across units. The data that fills each UTC—manpower requirements, equipment lists, and readiness information—comes from MEFPAK, the authoritative data library that DCAPES uses to populate the UTC packages. This combination keeps deployment planning standardized across the force. The other options don’t fit: TPFDD represents the deployment data set used for sequencing and timing, JPEE isn’t the system for UTC management, and MEFPAK is the data source rather than the system that manages UTC packaging.
