SCMS CP2 Operations Summary and Data Inventory

The creation of this report is somewhat of a slow process, and will be done on a "time available" basis. Certain sections will be very useful as they currently stand. Care is being taken in the preparation of some sections with the expectation that these sections may be useful in future reports with little modification. Please be patient! Comments are appreciated.
