Memorandum for Record Requirements

To initiate the onboarding process for AFWERX customers working toward a Certificate to Field (CtF) for Impact Level (IL) 2, 4, or 5 deployments, a Memorandum for Record (MFR) must be submitted before onboarding can begin. We will request signed MFRs at the customer kickoff.

Important

The MFR is specific to AFWERX deployments only. Other deployments (DISA IL5 or FedRAMP) serving non-AFWERX customers are not subject to this requirement.

What is the MFR?

The MFR is a formal document required by Game Warden’s Authority to Operate (ATO). It verifies the mission need, sponsorship, and contract type for your application deployment.

Complete the MFR

  1. Download and open the PDF template.

  2. Fill out the required field

  3. Save the document and send to your Mission Owner for signature.

  4. Submit the signed MFR to your Mission Success Manager.

How many MFRs do you need?

You will need at least one MFR for each instance of your application deployed for a different mission owner or use case. An instance refers to a specific copy or deployment of your application—even if it shares the same base code.

Example

Suppose your application, Galactic Donkey, needs to be deployed for multiple mission owners. Sometimes, multiple mission owners may share the same instance, but in other cases, each mission owner may have their own instance of the application. Even though it’s the same core application, each copy is treated as a separate instance when deployed for different use cases or mission owners.

Application: Galactic Donkey Instances

  • Mission A: A copy of Galactic Donkey for Mission Owner A
  • Mission B: A copy of Galactic Donkey for Mission Owner B

In this scenario, you would need two MFRs—one for each instance. If Mission Owners A and B share the same instance, only one MFR is needed.

MFR expirations

Each MFR must be reverified every six months from the finalized, AFWERX ISO signature date.

  • MFRs are included with your BoE submission for CtF
  • MFR expiration date & CtF expiration date are mutually exclusive

If an updated, fully signed MFR cannot be provided, your application will be offboarded from the platform until a valid MFR is submitted.
