What AF system interfaces with JOPES?

• A. MEFPAK
• B. DCAPES
• C. TUCHA
• D. GEO

Answer: (B)

This item tests which AF system feeds data into JOPES for deployment planning. JOPES is the joint tool used to plan and execute deployments, and it needs up-to-date deployment data like unit availability, tasking, and movement requirements. The Air Force uses DCAPES as its deployment control and airlift planning system to create, manage, and transmit that deployment data to JOPES. In other words, DCAPES is the conduit that interfaces with JOPES to provide the AF’s deployment information. Other systems like MEFPAK, TUCHA, and GEO support related planning data, but the direct interface with JOPES is DCAPES.
