SENIOR ACTIV IT IESThe Civil Air Patrol Emergency Services program is the most attractiveactivity for the majority of the senior members. CAP's nationwide EmergencyServices force is composed of 11,.000 pilots, 4,600 corporate and memberowned aircraft, and a raclio network of16,600 stations, The Emergency Servicesprogram provides assistance to the Air Force in Ai.r Search and Rescue andDomestic Emergency misarons, training for wartime support of Civil Defense.and assistance to the local community in the event of natural disaster. During1966" emphasis was placed on upgrading the overall Emergency Services capa-bility through training designed to improve the individual skills.SEARCH AND RESCUE

or all tbe agencies employed by the AirForce's Aerospace Rescue and RecoveryService, Civil Air Patrol has conststentty provided approximately 70%of allsearch and rescue flying hours and made 40% of the "finds.' I The cost to theAtr Force for tbe fuel, lubricant, and communication expense, which is reimburs-ed to CAP pilots, is only 4%of what it would cost the Air Force to do the samejob using Air Force aircraft. During 1966, GAP was called upon by the AirForce to conduct 308 search and rescue missions in the Continental United Statesand Alaska. The search objective was located by CAP on 73 of the missions--more "finds" than any other agency, The Civil Air Patrol flew 9,751 sortiesfor a total of 17,327 flying hours--73% of the total hours flown by all aear'chagencies.

CIVIL DEFENSEIn the event of war or national disaster, the CAP Emergency Services capabilitywould be an invaluable Civil Defense resource. Its aircraft. vehicles. radiostations. and manpower are deployed nationwide. This resource is mobileand located in small towns and villages away from target areas. The CAPlight aircraft fleet is Dot dependent upon well developed airports. Itcanoperate from small pastures or. if necessary. a straight section of highway.It is economical in fuel consumptton, and its maintenance is Simple.

EFFECTIVENESS TESTSDuring 1966, 51 CAP wings conducted Civil Defense effectiveness tests. Thesetests are used to evaluate the progress of Civil Defense training and the currentcapability of the wing to perform its wartime Civil Defense support mission.

CAP/FAA UPGRADING PROGRAMIn 1966 the Federal Aviation Agency, in cooperation with CAP, conducted fivesenior member orientation programs. The purpose of these programs was toupgrade the quality of general aviation. The FAAprovided facilities and instruc-tors for both academic and inflight phases of the program. CAP provided tenT-34 aircraft to be used in the program and paid all the operating expenses forthe aircraft. The first three classes of the program served as an upgradingrefresher program for CAP pilots. The objeot of these classes was to increasethe safety of pilots through higher proficiency and a more comprehensive know-ledge of weather and air traffic control. The next two classes were aimed atincreasing the knowledge and proficiency of CAP instructor pilots, with thefinal result of such knowledge and proficiency being passed on to otber CAPpilots. Forty-nine pilots attended the orientation program in 1966.

COMMUNICATIONS

NEW AIRCRAFT ACQUISITION PROGRAM

The new aircraft acquisition program is the most ambitious program everundertaken by the Civil Air Patrol. Theprogram is designed to replace obsoleteCAP air-craft with new aircraft purchased by individual CAP wings, backed P ythe National Treasury of the Civil Air Patrol.An inihal purchase of from 50 to 200 single- engine; light aircraft in CY1967is anticipated, This program requires the commitment of nearly one milliondollars per one hundred aircraft. Operating procedures for these aircraft willpermit--for the first time on a national basis--student pilot training in localCAP units.

Through improved management and operator training. minor infractions of theFederal Communications Commission rules have been greatly reduced. Actingon a petition from CAP, the FCC approved single sideband radio operation byCAP radio stations, effective February 1967. Once again acting upon a CAPrequest. the FCC authorized fleet licensing of CAP ground mobile and airmobile radio stations. This has reduced paper work involved in applicationprocedures, speeded up licensing of stations, and decentralized record keepingfrom the National Headquarters to the various wing headquarters. Increasedactivity and interest has resulted in a healthy growth of this radio network whichcontributes so much to the effective accomplishment of the CAP emergencyservices mtsston, At the end of the calendar year 1966.CAP had a total of16,667 licensed radio stations: 5,244 fixed land stations, 9,698 ground mobilestations and 1,725 air mobile stations. In addition, CAP operates approximately2G400 stations in the citizens Radio Service.

CADET ACT IV IT IE SIn1966, eight areas ofSpecialActivities were offered to cadets: Seven recurringacti vities and a new activity, the Spiritual Life Conferences. A synopsis of thecadet special activities follows:THE CAP INTERNATIONAL AIR CADET EXCHANGE (lACE)

In 1966, CAP was unable to conduct the normal International Air Cadet Exchangewith European and SouthAmerican countries, due to inability of the Departmentof Defense to support the program. However. 15 cadets and two escortsparticipated in an exchange with Canada for 21days. The Canadians were hostedby three wings (Florida, Texas. and Colorado) while they were in the UnitedStates. During their stay in this country. they visited Cape Kennedy. MacDillAFB, and St. Peter-sburg Coast Guard Statiou in Florida; the MannedSpacecraftCenter, Ling Temco Vought, and Bell Aircraft in Texas; and the Air ForceAcademy and the NORADCheyenne Mountain Complex in Colorado. The CAPcadets were, at the same time, enjoying similar visits in Canada. To climaxtheir vistt, the Canadians were flown to Washington. D. C., for a tour of theCapitol where they were greeted by the Vice President.11

Simulator flights, and other courses.AEROSPACE AGE ORIENTAT10N COURSE

The only orientation course reserved solely fol' girls, the Aerospace AgeOrientation Course, was once again hosted by Maxwell AFB during the period7-13 August. Indoctrination on the administrative and technical opportunitiesfor women in aviation and in the Air Force was given to 52 female cadets.They also visited other military and local installations and areas of interest.CADET FLYING ENCAMPMENT

In 1966, the Cadet Flying Encampment program was expanded to three sites(Elmira, New York; Chester, South Carolina; and Lawton,Oklahoma). Twoglidercourses of 14 days duration were conducted at each of these locations along witha four-week powered course. One hundred forty-eight male and female cadetsattended these encampments. This was an increase of 56 cadets over 1965. Sixtycadets received FAAPrivate Pilot Licenses in airplanes and 82 cadets receivedthe equivalent FAAcertification in gliders.

SPIRITUAL LIFE CONFERENCES

One hundred and six cadets attended USAFSpiritual Life Conferences conduotedby the Chief of Air Force Chaplains in1966. These religiOUSactivities were heldat six sites throughout the United States.

CAP TIMES. the official corporation publication published monthly. expandedits circulation to 80,000, an increase of 23,000over the average 1965monthlycirculation.Considered particularly significant and gratifying was the effort put forth bythe U. S. Air Force in 1966 to achieve a broad base of knowledgeand under-standing of the Civil Air Patrol by Air FOTcemembers. The AIRMANmagazinepublished a historical summary of the CAP in December along with an editorialby the Air Force Chief of staff, a fact sheet was published and distributed toAir Force bases world-wide, and the RESERVISTmagazine carried a story orarticle on CAP in each issue. TheAir Force Office of Information also arrangeda special press briefing on CAP for the Pentagon press corps.

CAP CHAp LA INCYThe moral and spiritual welfare of CAP personnel is the primary responsibilityof every CAP chaplain. The chaplaincy is composed of 1,125 clergymen of allmajor faiths, who have been endorsed by their respective church certifyingagency. These chaplains contributed over 82,000 manhours on behalf of theCAP chaplain's program in 1966. They conducted or participated in 41.000services, meetings, lectures. addresses, consultations, and visits, resulting inover 584,000 direct contacts with cadets and senior members of CAP andmembers of local communities on the behalf of CAP.The six USAF Protestant Spiritual Life Conferences sponsored by the Chiefof Chaplains, USAF, were attended by 106 cadets and 9 chaplains from CivilAir Patrol. Although this was the fourteenth consecutive year for these con:-ferences, 1966 was the first time that Civil Air Patrol had the opportunity toparticipate in this outstanding program. The response and importance placedon this program by both the parents and cadets was instrumental inCAPsecuring approval to include these conferences in the regular Cadet SpecialActivities. The quota for 1967 has been increased to 200 cadets.

SUPPO RT FO R CAPPROPERTY ACQUIRED FROM DODThe acquisition or original value of Department of Defense surplus propertyacquired by CAP during 1966 was $5,007,933.50 as compared to $8,080,000 in1965 and $14,552,000 in 1964. This decrease is a direct reflection of the DOD'scost reduction efforts, inasmuch as less equipment is nowavailable.

CORPORATE OWNED AIRCRAFTThe number of corporate owned aircraft decreased to a year-end inventory of786 compared to 830 in 1965 and 864 in 1964. Four hundred and fifty-threeof these aircraft are over 20 years old and are extremely difficult to maintainin commission.
