The CAA kept extensive files on every colony, world, and city under its care. The document containing these files was referred to as the [[CAA Factbook]].<ref name="factbook">[http://www.bungie.net/projects/reach/article.aspx?ucc=intel '''Bungie.net''': ''CAA Factbook'']</ref> These files contained everything from topographic maps to the information on the materials the city sewer system was built from. The CAA provided this information to UNSC military forces upon request, and it could be very helpful when defending colonies from [[Covenant]] attack.<ref>'''Halo: The Fall of Reach''', ''page 177''</ref> In addition, the CAA oversaw the [[Outer Colony vaccination program]] which held the largest DNA database of the human population.<ref>'''[[Dr. Halsey's personal journal]]''', ''February 15, 2511''</ref>

The CAA formerly housed its own intelligence agency, the [[Department of Colonial Security]]. When the CAA lost its power, the DCS was incorporated into the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]].<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''Chapter 2''</ref> The CAA was also responsible for the colonization of worlds, as evident by the "CAA" [[Wikipedia:Ship prefix|ship prefix]] on their [[colony ship]]s, such as the {{Othership|CAA|Butterworth}}.

Over the course of the [[Human-Covenant War]], the [[United Nations Space Command]] had largely taken over many of the responsibilities of other branches of the government. The CAA was more resistant to the takeover than the UEG proper, though it was eventually stripped of most of its power. It is therefore likely that the organization no longer existed in any functional capacity by 2552,<ref name="HSP"/> though the Factbook was still being updated as late as [[2550]].<ref name="factbook"/>
