III LONG-RANGE PLA

The most important accomplishment of the twentieth anniversary year ofthe organization was the adoption by Civil Air Patrol leaders of the CAPLong-Range Plan. This plan outlines a definite program for the expansionof CAP over the next five years and provides definite yearly goals to beattained in each of the major mission areas of the organization.Achievement of the goals of the Long-Range Plan will provide the nationwith the largest and most progressive CAP since the World War II peak.The first aimof the Long-Range Plan is to increase senior and cadet mem-bership to a total of 160,000 by 1966. Of this number, it is planned that100,000will comprise the cadet membership and the balance will be seniors.The manpower goals have been allocated on an increasing year-by-yearquota basis for each of the 52 wings.Included in the 60,000 or more senior members projected in the plan areten percent of all private aircraft owners and licensed pilots of each state,the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico. Based on estimates by theFederal Aviation Agency, this would mean approximately 10,000 aircraftowners and 23,000 licensed pilots by 1966.The Long-Range Plan will be reviewed annually by the National Com-mander's Long-Range Planning Committee, revised and modernized asneeded to meet America's changing times.Included in the plan are these additional goals-

Continued expansion of the aerospace education programs; Written agreements between each CAP wing and its state CivilDefense agency; Establishment of mutual agreements at local levels in support,

training and testing methods for CAP to aid Continental Air Command inits Dispersal Aircraft Recovery and Reconstitution Program (DARR);*

Maintenance of ground rescue units to support the National Searchand Rescue Program;

Maintenance of adequate communications to support the opera-tional, training and emergency requirements of CAP.40 States Have CAP-CD PactAlthough there were five agreements between CAP wings and Civil Defenseagencies prior to 1961, a concerted effort to consummate similar agreementsin all states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico, began January 5.At the end of the year, there were 40 CAP-CD written agreements.The Officeof Civiland DefenseMobilization isbringing up to date its OCDMadvisory bulletin which establishes procedures for the CAP and Civil Defenserelationship during a local or national emergency.17 Scholarships Now in CAPThe National Executive Committee of the Civil Air Patrol Corporationauthorized $10,000 of corporation funds for 13 additional scholarships to beawarded in 1962.These are in addition to four undergraduate cadet scholar-ships already in existence on a continuing basis, three in the fields ofaeronautical engineering and one in humanities. The new fund adds onecadet scholarship in aeronautical engineering or allied sciences and two forcadets in humanities (international relations, languages, nurse's training,

airport management). The balance of the additional scholarships are for fivegraduate (senior) members of CAP, four in aeronautical engineering and onein education; there are also five summer workshop scholarships for CAPaerospace education officers.CAP Can Assist Air ReservistsThe Continental Air Command of the USAF has recently been assigned theresponsibility for a new type of Air Force Reserve organization, the DARRProgram mentioned earlier, which provides an additional opportunity forCivil Air Patrol to contribute its services to the U. S. Air Force. The DARRProgram willuseAir Force Reserve personnel throughout the country, wherethere are suitable airfields in suburban areas, as "recovery units" in time ofnational emergency. CAP will assist reserve unit commanders in their taskof recovering dispersed or damaged military aircraft and aircrews. Generallyspeaking, the CAP contribution will be in the areas of airlift in its own lightaircraft, in emergency communications and the use of its personnel toaugment the Air Reserve units where necessary.

, TASK FORCE

Emergencies arise almost every day somewhere in one or more of CAP's52 wings.In the tradition of CAP, those senior members who are trained for airsearch and the seniors and cadets who make up ground rescue crews werekept busy through the year on a variety of missions.Some of these missions resulted in the saving of lives, some in finding onlytragic wrecks of aircraft, and other were fruitless searches over rugged terrainwhere a crash in dense trees and undergrowth remained invisible from the air.An example of the latter was that of a flying couple reported missing in theHouston, Texas area. Asystematic search by CAP aviators covered hundredsof square miles but it was months after the search was called off when ahunter acidentally stumbled upon the fatal wreckage.Three Children Survive CrashAn Ohio pilot spotted a crashed airplane near Cincinnati and landed in anearby field to investigate. Of the family of six aboard, he found three youngchildren alive and helped them to medical care.Man Saved After Five-Day Mountain OrdealA 52-year-old man survived a five-day ordeal in a crashed plane 9,000 feetup Mt. Timpanogos in Utah. He was spotted by a Utah Wing pilot and CAPground crews assisted other volunteers in his rescue.Stranded Survivors Helped to CivilizationNear Anchorage, Alaska, two aircraft collided in mid-air over Chinitna Bay.Two men died and seven persons were left stranded on the beach. AnAnchorage Squadron member flewone survivor to Kenai and Kenai Squadronmembers assisted in the rescue of the others.

In the Air, On the GroundCAP'S TASK FORCE AT WORK

"Carla" Kept CAP on AlertWhen hurricane Carla swept through Texas, with the "eye" not far fromCAP National Headquarters at Ellington Air Force Base, CAP squadronsin the surrounding area assisted in evacuations and manned their auto andhome radio transceivers to provide emergency communications."Sundowners" Spot Elderly CoupleOn a regular patrol by the "Sundown Squadron" of Clearwater, Florida,an elderly couple was spotted on an islet with their small boat beached highby the receding tide. The CAP aircrew notified the U. S. Coast Guardwhich rescued the pair with a helicopter.CAP Pilot Spots Mountain CrashTwo young brothers were the only survivors of a six-passenger plane crashlocated by a CAP plane on a mountainside near Salida, Kansas. A groundcrew reached the scene two hours after the pilot's radio message.Alaska's Task Force Small but ActiveThe 73 private planes, 23 CAP corporate-owned aircraft of Alaska Wingand its thousand-member organization make up the task force which bearsthe major responsibility of air search and ground rescue under Air RescueService, MATS, throughout this rugged state. Last year, this wing logged221 emergency missions of all descriptions.

CAP Flys 59% of Search and Rescue HoursDuring the year, Civil Air Patrol flew 11,267 sorties for a total of 20,641hours in support of USAF-authorized search and rescue missions. Of thesehours, 1,570 were flown by the Alaska Wing. CAP was credited with 59percent of all flying hours expended on the search and rescue effort coor-dinated by the Air Rescue Service during 1961."Ma.in Source of Assistance"-General CunninghamIn his first report after air Rescue Service became responsible for coordina-tion of the CAP search and rescue effort, on February 1, Brig. Gen. Joseph A.Cunningham, USAF, commander of ARS, Orlando AFB, Fla. said:"The CivilAir Patrol is our main source of assistance, and its contributionsmake the national SAR (search and rescue) Plan an effective tool in theprotection of our distressed citizenry ... "Five Years of Search and RescueFollowing is the tabular count ofmissions and sorties for the past five years:

Year Missions Sorties1957 156 7,4131958 157 7,4011959 201 8,4011960 216 9,8731961 442 11,267

Effectiveness Tests Conducted in 39 WingsThirty-nine wing effectiveness tests were conducted by USAF during theyear to measure CAP capabilities in search and rescue, Civil Defense, anddomestic emergencies. A total of 3,728 sorties and 7139:35 hours were flownby CAP aircrews in the conduct of these effectiveness tests. Participatingwere approximately 8,119 senior members and 5,267 cadets.USAF Liaison Officer AirliftThe USAF substantially increased its support when in 1961 it authorizedthe AF liaison officers assigned to each CAP wing to rent light, single-engineaircraft. This aircraft rental replaced the previously assigned C-45 aircraftbeing withdrawn from the AF inventory, and provided the liaison officerswith fast, economical transportation to the many CAP units in each state.Without this means of travel the liaison officers would have been unableto provide the assistance to the units of their wings that is vital in carryingout CAP programs.Radio Stations Continue to IncreaseTwo new high frequency assignments have been made to CAP and as aresult radio communications between all echelons has improved. Regionalliaison offices have been equipped with USAF radio equipment, which hasincreased the reliability of the national radio net. The Air Force providesnine civilian communications advisors under contract with Philco, andairmen radio operators who give technical advice and assistance to theCAP communications program.The number of licensed CAP radio stations increased from 13,817 to 14,701.Land stations increased from 4,356 to 4,848; mobile stations, from 8,294 to8,590; and aircraft stations, from 1,167 to 1,263.The CAP communications net, which blankets the country, is undoubtedlyone of the most vital contributions that the CAP can make to the CivilDefense mission and to the AF recovery program in an emergency.

AEROSPACE EDUCAT IO

"It is the policy of the United States to challenge and hold the interest ofthe youth and adults of America in aeronautical and space sciences througha dynamic national program to stimulate active participation in all aspectsof aerospace activities."-Project HorizonCivil Air Patrol was a pioneer in this significant effort ten years ago whenits first experimental workshop for teachers was held in Puerto Rico. Sincethat time aerospace education has become the most rapidly growing programconducted by CAP.Steady enlargement and expansion of the CAP aerospace education serviceshave been made to meet the demand.Colleges, universities and school systems cooperated in 1961 to cosponsor117 Civil Air Patrol workshops, symposiums and institutes-an increase ofalmost one hundred percent over the number conducted the previous year.Thirty-two Air Force ROTC and 54 Air Force Reserve officers serve ascodirectors and project assistants.First International Trans-Polar WorkshopThe first International AerospaceEducation Workshop to fly the polar routewas cosponsored by the University of Nevada and CAP. It provided par-ticipating teachers, counselors and school administrators with first-handdata about contemporary affairs in Alaska, Denmark, West Germany,England, France, Italy and Switzerland.

It Started a Decade AgoCAP PIONEERED AEROSPACE EDUCATION

Participants in Workshops Mount in NumbersMore than 5,800 teachers and school administrators were exposed to theimpact ofaerospace technology upon national and international affairs duringthe year. They returned to their schoolsbetter versed in the use of aerospaceeducation materials with which to enrich the educational process in theirinstitutions.More High Schools Schedule AerospaceValue of the CAP elective aerospace science course is indicated by itsacceptance in 560 high schools in the United States and Puerto Rico, asubstantial increase over the previous year. These high schools have incor-porated this program as a regular part of their curriculums.Education Associations Recognize CourseThe American Association of Colleges for Teachers Education and theAmerican Association of School Administrators are among the organizationswhich have encouraged members to have their teachers become oriented inthe aerospace sciences. The North Central Association of Colleges andSecondary Schools has approved the CAP course and five more regionalaccrediting associations are considering similar recognition of the CAPaerospace education program. One association proposed preferential employ-ment to teachers with aerospace education qualifications.New CAP Texts Are PublishedEight new publications were produced during the year and others were

Itwas produced by the CAP NationalAerospace Education Center in cooperation with the University of Houston,Texas, which filmed it.Aerospace Book Sales IncreaseAerospace education book sales in 1961 totaled 108,889, an increase of 30,511copies over 1960. Since its beginning, Civil Air Patrol's aerospace publishingprogram has produced and distributed more than a million copies of CAPaerospace education publications. These are produced from a "revolvingfund" established by the CAP corporation at no expense to the taxpayer.The Aerospace Education Center Library was increased to more than 2,000technical volumesand maintained subscriptions to 60professional periodicals.Civil Air Patrol aerospace education materials also were included in localand state plans for the procurement of approved instructional materialsthrough the National Defense Education Act.Frank G. Brewer AwardsIn a ceremony at the Air Force Academy on August 9, 1961, the Frank G.Brewer-Civil Air Patrol Memorial Aerospace Awards were presented foroutstanding contributions in the development of youth through aerospaceeducation. Winners were Cadet 2nd Lt. Elmer M. Padgett, CAP, Evergreen,Alabama; 1st Lt. Rita Younglund, CAP, Wichita, Kansas; and Dr. L. R.Fisher, Texas College of Arts and Industries, Kingsville, Texas.Optimist International CollaboratesIn addition to continuing cooperative aerospace education programs withThe American Legion and the National Aviation Education Council, asimilar program was inaugurated with Optimist International to provideorientation in the aerospace sciences to increasingly larger numbers of thenation's youth.Education Go.als ExpandedOne-, two-, and five-year aerospace education goals were adopted to increasethe number of workshops for teachers, to accelerate the recruitment ofprominent educators for service as unit aerospace education officers, toincrease the organization of CAP cadet units in local schools, and to continuethe professional development of aerospace education personnel. Mr. CharlesW. Webb, Deputy Chief of Staffl Aerospace Education, National Head-quarters CAP, served as a member of the Presidential Committee for theestablishment of National Aviation Goals (Project Horizon).

Always in TrainingSPECIAL PROGRAMS INCREASETraining is a continuous process in Civil Air Patrol with particular emphasison the education and motivation of cadets-our future citizens.Last year, national special activities for honor cadets, with selected seniorsof CAP also attending, rose from four to sixwith the addition of two scholar-ship courses, one in aircraft management and tower control and another inmissile orientation.And, for the first time, a national CAP Aviation Safety Seminar was held.For three days, authorities on civil and military aviation talked practicalaviation safety at National Headquarters to CAP safety officers andUSAF representatives.A manual for cadet character and citizenship training was written by thenational chaplain of CAP. The manuscript for the new "Operation Count-down" utilizes the language of aerospace science to deliver its message.Publication date is first half of 1962.135 Cadets Exchange Visits with 19 CountriesThe 1961 International Air Cadet Exchange (lACE) had 270 CAP andforeign cadets participating. Except for Canada and Great Britain, on a25-cadet basis for each, the exchange with the 17 other countries was five-for-five. One CAP officer and one Air Force officer accompanied each groupof cadets going abroad, and two adult escorts accompanied each groupvisiting the United States. The foreign cadets were flown into New York byMATS and Headquarters Command, USAF, where they spent three daysat the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel. Transportation in New York was furnishedby Stewart Air Force Base. From New York City, the cadets were flownto their host wings for a ten-day visit, after which they reassembled andtoured the nation's capital for four days.The foreign cadets' visits to the various states were financed by the CivilAir Patrol and by donations from industry and individuals. Expenses of CAPmembers, while visiting the overseas countries, were borne by the sponsoringforeign agency. The expense of commercial and MATS air travel was borneby the U. S. Air Force. The lACE, most extensive of the special cadetorientation programs, and of inestimable value in promoting internationalgood will, was held the last two weeks of July through the first two weeksof August. CAP host wings for the 1961 foreign exchange were:Belgium Wisconsin Israel CaliforniaBrazil Delaware Italy NebraskaCanada Michigan Netherlands OregonChile Iowa Norway FloridaDenmark Connecticut Portugal ArizonaEl Salvador* NewJersey Spain VirginiaFrance Idaho Sweden NewYorkGreat Britain Ohio Switzerland TennesseeGreece South Dakota Turkey West Virginia

West Germany Utah=E! Salvador replaced Peru for visiting the U. S. but the CAP cadets visited Peru.All-girl Team Wins Drill ContestIn the national Drill Competition, 11 drill teams-one from each of theeight regions, plus Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico-competed for nationalhonors and trophies at the U. S. Air Force Academy, August 6-10. Teamswere airlifted to Colorado Springs by the Air Force. Participating were 275cadets. First-place winner of the competition for the second consecutive yearwas the girls' team from Pueblo representing Colorado Wing. The PuertoRico team was second; Hawaii placed third.

Jet OrientationThe Jet Orientation Scholarship,* one of four week-long special aerospaceorientation activities was conductedat Perrin Air Force Base, Texas, August6-12. Itprovided academic and flight orientation in jet aircraft for onemale honor cadet from each of the 52 wings. Most of the CAP members - ,attending this course were flown to Perrin in USAF aircraft. The only costto Civil Air Patrol members was a charge for meals taken in the Air Forcedining halls. These procedures are similar and the number of cadets thesame for each of the following three scholarships.Aerospace Age for GirlsThe Aerospace Age Orientation Scholarship is for female cadets only andwas held August 6-12 at Maxwell Air Force Base, Ala. These cadets learnedabout medical, administrative, personnel and technical fields open to womenin aviation and the Air Force. They also made orientation flights in MATSaircraft and Air Force jet trainers.Two New Scholarships in 1961The Federal Aviation Agency (FAA) Orientation Scholarship was conductedfor the first time in 1961 at the FAA Center, Will Rogers Field, OklahomaCity, July 23-29. The FAA is the first federal civilian agency to cosponsora national CAP cadet activity. The opportunities available to individuals inmeteorology, air traffic control and other facets of the FAA operationwere presented.The other "first" was the Space Age Orientation Scholarship, held atChanute Air Force Base, Illinois, August 20-26. Male cadets received instruc-tion in basic theories of rockets, propulsion, and missile guidance systems.Summer EncampmentsDuring the 1961 Summer Encampment Program, 47 encampments wereattended by 7,522 CAP members on 38 Air Force bases. Most of themembers were provided air transportation to and from the encampment sitesby Air Force aircraft.More Certificates of ProficiencyAs a result of study and CAP training programs 2,448 Certificates ofProficiency were awarded to CAP members, 273 of which went to seniormembers. This certificate denotes successful completion of a comprehensivetraining program covering a wide range of subjects. The USAF has recognizedthe value of CAP training by granting certain enlistment privileges to thequalified CAP members who hold these certificates.Aviation Safety TrainingThe national flying safety meeting saw twelve nationally recognized safetyauthorities on hand to discuss accident prevention principles. Civil Air Patrolsafety officers were provided with material to institute regular safety pro-grams in their own units.Safety projects during the year included CAP cadet attendance at militaryinstallation driver training courses, region and wing safety seminars, andmore enthusiastic CAP participation in Federal Aviation Agency and CivilAeronautics Board general aviation accident prevention projects. The visitingaviation safety experts emphasized the potential of CAP to promote safetyin general aviation.Character and Citizenship TrainingWhile the new "Operation Countdown" training manual was in preparation,recruiting for the chaplaincy gained a total of 176 during the year. Aprilwas a record month with 44 appointments issued.At year's end, CAP had 1,026 chaplains working in the field. More than169,000 persons attended the religious services, character and citizenshiplectures to CAP members and general public lectures on general CAPsubjects.
