Well, you have to have a MOU with your state emergency management agency to do anything at all, but beyond that they aren't really needed or apparently encouraged unless it is going to be an ongoing mission.  One-shot disaster-type missions don't really need them.   I know a few non-emergency operations that went on for several months where they wanted an MOU, but I can't think of a single disaster or SAR mission request from a local agency or agency other than the state emergency mgt agency that we've handled in years that required a separate MOU. 

Of course, other agencies may want an MOU for their own reasons before doing anything with CAP even though in those situations we may not need one for our own purposes.
