The purpose of CCIP is to effectively and efficiently provide commanders timely, relevant information to improve unit effectiveness. The theme for the 50th Space Wing’s CCIP is “Stay ready in the off season.”
By Senior Airman Arielle Vasquez 50th Space Wing Public Affairs
“Stay ready in the off season” is a not only a motto intended for athletes, but something all Schriever members should strive for on a daily basis. This message is the theme for the Wing Commander’s Inspection Program leading up to the Unit Effectiveness Inspection scheduled for Dec. 2018. CCIP provides commanders timely and
relevant information to improve unit effectiveness. For Schriever, the 50th Space Wing Inspector General office leads this program. The IG inspects groups, squadrons and other functions within the wing to maintain mission readiness. “This program is important,” said Staff Sgt. Theodore Barnaby, 50 SW IG evaluation management system manager. “We need to know the status of programs. If a mission is on the edge of failure or is degraded, then
mission planners need to elevate it so it goes up through all the proper levels to ensure mission success.” The CCIP initiative aims to help Airmen build their knowledge of the program, challenge Team Schriever to stay inspection ready and enable its continued effectiveness. “Stay ready in the off season” relates to the success or failure of any sports team relying See Inspection page 11
