Who has the authority to waive Raven Required Missions?

• A. The unit commander
• B. The Chief of staff at AMC/A3/10
• C. The MAWG-A lead
• D. The local base attorney

Answer: (B)

The authority to waive Raven Required Missions rests with the senior staff at AMC, specifically the Chief of Staff at AMC/A3/10. This centralized approval ensures consistent application of mission requirements across all AMC units and allows formal risk assessment and accountability when exceptions are needed. Local units cannot grant waivers on their own, because such waivers must come through higher-level policy review to maintain program integrity and safety. The MAWG-A lead and the local base attorney do not have waiver authority themselves; they may provide analysis or legal input, but the final decision comes from AMC/A3/10. The usual process involves submitting justification and risk assessment for review and approval.
