AFI 63-101/ 20-101 provides policy related to the USAF's CAM system.  Air Force Materiel Command (AFMC) is the designated USAF CAM Executive Agent (EA) for CAM-associated funding and requirements determination. The instruction specifies that that USAF “MAJCOMs (major commands) and PMs (program managers) shall utilize the AFMC developed CAM procedures, meet established timeframes/suspense, and support associated reviews as documented in  Air Force Manual (AFMAN) 63-143, Centralized Asset Management Procedures.   The AFMAN 63-143 provides detailed information on CAM processes and procedures including the following:

• CAM provides enterprise management at the USAF level by focusing resources on priorities as defined by operators.
• CAM-associated funding includes Weapon System Sustainment (WSS) and AF Active Duty Cost per Flying Hour Program (CPFH).
  • Within the WSS enterprise, there are four business process areas managed as part of CAM:
    • Depot Purchased Equipment Maintenance (DPEM). The DPEM business process includes five sub-categories:
      • Aircraft and Missile Requirements (AMR), which has three supporting processes:
        • the Engineering Requirements Review Process (ERRP)
        • the Bill of Work (BOW) process, and
        • the Maintenance Requirements Supportability Process (MRSP).
      • Engine Maintenance
      • Area/Base/Manufacture (A/B/M)
      • Software Maintenance,
      • Storage
      • Exchangeables, and
      • Other Major End Items (OMEI).
    • Contractor Logistics Support (CLS)
    • Sustaining Engineering (Sust Eng), and
    • Technical Orders (TO)
  • The CPFH program covers costs that directly support the launch, recovery, inspection, servicing, and maintenance of an aircraft; the inspection, servicing and maintenance of an aircraft component or a piece of support equipment that directly supports aircraft maintenance; or the fuel used in the operation of aircraft or support equipment that directly supports aircraft maintenance and fuel. The CPFH budget has the following components:
    • Depot Level Reparables (DLRs), spares and exchangeables
    • Consumable Supplies, and
    • Aviation Petroleum Oil and Lubricants (AvPOL)
