renewal of privileges and staff reappointment within the system. CCQAS

and Components (Guard, Reserve). CCQAS serves users functioning at the 
facility (defined by an individual UIC), Service, and DoD levels. 
Access to CCQAS modules and capabilities within each module is 
permissions-based, so that users have access tailored to the functions 
they perform and sensitive information receives maximal protection.
