SEN IOR ACT IV IT IESContinued emphasis was placed on programs for senior members in 1967. Thecontinuation of the FAA/CAP Academy, acquisition of new aircraft, the additionof family flying, student instruction, and new school courses have greatly broad-ened the activities of the senior members. The emergency services programremains one of the most attractive acti vities for senior members. This programprovides assistance to the Air Force in search and rescue, to local communitiesin the event ofnatural disaster and training for wartime support of Civil Defense.NEWAIRCRAFT ACQUISITION PROGRAM

The new aircraft acqutattion program continued in 1967 with 26 new aircraftentering the inventory.ASSOCIATE MEMBER (FAMILY) FLYING

Another program initiated in1967 was the associate membership program. Thisprogram is available to any person not eligible by age or citizenship for regularCAP senior or cadet membership who is the spouse or child of a current CAPsenior member. The associate members are authorized to ride inCAP unitairoraft along with tbeir CAP senior member sponsor s on approved flights, Thepilot of aircraft carrying associate members must be a current CAP memberpilot who has logged over 200 bours first pilot time and current in the aircraftinvolved. Associate members cannot ride as passengers or crew in GAP air-craft flown on USAFauthorized missions or on any CAP unit training or exercisemission.FAA/CAP UPGRADING PROGRAM

In1967, the Federal AviationAdministration. incooperation with CAP, again con-ducted five senior member orientation programs for a total of 50 people. Threeof the classes served as anupgrading refresher program for CAP pilots, and twoclasses were aimed at increasing the knowledge andproficiency of CAP instruc-tor pilots. An addition to the program for 1967 was the purchase, by NationalHeadquarters, of eight newaircraft to be used for instruction in the FAAprogram,and upon completion of the courses to be sold to various units within CAP. Thisnot only allows the students to receive instruction in the latest type aircraft butalso allows CAP wings to purchase the aircraft at reduced costs.STUDENT INSTRUCTION

During 1967, a new program of student instruction for initial pilot rating wasestabltshed, This program provides flight instruction. for initial FAApilotrating, to CAP senior or cadet members inCAP aircraft. CAP student pilots inthe process of obtaining their initial pilot rating must have a minimum of eighthours of qualified dual instruction by a current FAAcertified flight instruotor

before flying solo in corporate aircraft, must meet all FAA solo and checkoutr-equtrements, and obtain an FAA pilot certificate before being rated as a CAPpilot. For senior members, this program offers the opportunity to learn to flyin their own CAP unit. For cadets, it is hoped that this program will instill inthem the enthusiasm to continue toward an Air Force or aviation career.

Arrangements have been made with Air Univer-sity, Maxwell AFB, Alabama, forsome senior CAP executive members to attend various courses at AUduring1968. Approval bas been received to nominate CAP members for the ReserveOfficers' Orientation Course, Allied Officer Missile and Space Indoctrination,Academic Instructor Course, and National Security Forum. CAP is lookingforward to giving many of the senior members a better opportunity for a closerlook at the Air Force posture in the overall national defense.SEARCH AND RESCUE

CAP participation in search and rescue missions, in coordination with the AirForce's Aerospace Rescue andRecovery Service, showedincreases in the numberof mtssrons, in flying bours, andin mission effectiveness. The gradual modern-ization of the CAP aircraft fleet has made it possible for the aircraft to stay onstation in the search area for longer periods of time and search larger areas,which bas improved miasion effectiveness as indicated by an increase inthenumber of 11ves saved and in the number of search objecti ves located. During1967 CAP participated in 316 search and rescue missions in the ContinentalUnited States and Alaska. The search objective was located by CAP on 85 of themissions. A total of 11,137 sorties and 20,686 hours were flown. CAP wascredited with saving 13 lives, evacuating 30 persons, and assisting 46 othersduring search and rescue missions. CAP also participated in 10 disasterrelief operations. Two notable operations were "Operation Haylift" inArizonaand "Hurricane Buelah" in South Texas. "OperationHayllft" assisted hundredsof storm stricken citizens of Arizona and prevented the loss of thousands oflivestock. Civil Air Patrol, in conjunction with the U. S. Coast Guard, wascredited with rescuing 431 persons from the perils of Hurricane Buelah alone.CAP communications facilities were also used extensively in this operation.

AFX PROGRAM

The AFX Program was introduced in 1967 for the purpose of recruiting generalaviation pilots and aircraft owners into GAP. AFX members hOW form a newsegment within the total membership (they pay regular dues , enjoy full member-ship. participate in search and r-escue, fly-ins, instrument training, etc .)but arenot required to wear uniforms or attend regular meetings. Their status is thatof members-at-large.The ultimate objective of the AFX Program is a nationwide organization of50,000 aircraft owners and pilots that MIl serveas the voice of general aviation.TH E CON G R ESS .ION A . L SQ U A.D RON

Two Congressmen who have kept alive their interest in aviation have formed aCongressional Squadron of the Civil Air Patrol. They are representativeLester L. Wolff .(D. - N.Y.). who will serve as Commander, and representativeJerry L. Pettis (R. - Calif.), who will serve as Bxecutive officer. The Congres-sional Squadron will be a fully operational, working unit, participating in allCAPprograms and activities.

COMMUNICATIONS

CIVIL DEFENSE

Annual Civil Defense effectiveness test scores indicated considerable improve-ment in the Civil Defense capability of several wings, In the event of war ornatural disaster the Civil Air Patrol's 4,250 aircraft, 21,000 radio stations,4,000 vebreles, and its manpower would be invaluable. These forces are mobileand are well dispersed. Their survivability should be good. The light aircraftof CAP can operate from short strips, pastures, or even a section of highway.These aircraft are inexpensive to operate, simple to maintain, and represent avaluable wartime r-esource, The communications capability is also a valuableasset.Written agreements have been negotiated between 50 CAP wings and the respec-tive state civil defense organrzattons, These agreements define CAP's wartimerole in support of civil defense.

A modernization program was started this year in the communications programto bring the Civil Air Patrol closer to the state of the art in radio communica-tions. By the end of 1967, 110 key radio stations across the United States wereconverted to modern single sideband equipment. A survey conducted by thisheadquarters indicates that the Civil Air Patrol will commit approximately$80,000 during 1968 toward modernizing the radio system even further by thereplacement of old and antiquated equipment. Addttronal frequenctes, particular-ly for use during search and rescue, disasters, and other emergencies, couldenhance the program. The Civil Air Patrol now has 21,525 licensed radio sta-tions. Of this number, 4,761 are fixed land stations; 10,444 are ground mobilestations; and 1,925 are air mobile stations. The remainder is 4.244 stationslicensed to CAP in the citizens radio service and 151 aircraft radios licensedfor use on FAA enroute frequencies. Intensive studies are being conducted toimprove the radio nets SQ that they have a greater national communicationscapability. This tremendous radio capability within Civil All' Patrol, which isused inabout every conceivable emergency anddisaster, represents an invaluableresouroe to both civil and military authorities. The members of the Civil AirPatrol who are working in the communications program are depending less onsurplus DOD radio equipment and have begun to purchase much of the radioequipment on an individual basts, State governments, recognizing the veryvaluable service provided by CAP in tbis respect. are also contributing agreater amount toward purchasing equipment. In several states. Civil Defenseand CAP are working to establish common user radio networks.

CADET ACT IV IT IESIn 1967, nine areas of special activities were offered to CAP cadets .. Theseactivities involved over 7,000 cadets and seniors. A synopsis of the cadetspecial aotivities follows:

Modifica-tions to the CAP cadet program, which went into effect 1 January 1967, includedan expansion in the flight training option and several small changes to enhanceits appeal to new members and to simplify administration. The CAP cadetprogram now provides an alternate track to the General Billy Mitchell Awardand provides added incentive for cadets to want to learn to fly. The new trackallows a cadet to receive credit for the Aerospace Education portion of threeachievements in Phase II Achievements if he passes the Glider Written Exam-ination and a cadet who passes the FAAWritten Examination for Powered Air-craft receives credit for the Aerospace Education portion of four achievements inPhase II. At the National Board meeting. which convened in Las Vegas, Nevada,November 2-4, the Spaatz Award Cadets held their third organizational meeting.Using the Cadet Program Evaluation Committee and the CAP Headquarters Staffevaluations and suggestions as a guideline intheir dis eusstons, the cadets drewup a proposed revision for the CAP cadet program. That revision was analyzedand parts included inthe CAPC program.SCHO OL PRO GRA MCivil Air PatroPs coordinated high school aerospace education program hascontinued to expand and is now aregular part of the cur-riculum in approximately700 private, publio, andparocWalschools. Efforts of a Texas Group Commander,the Texas Liaison Officer. and the Director of Aerospace Education resulted inthe U.S. Marine Academy at Harlingen, Texas, accepting the CAP AerospaceEducation Course as part of its curriculum as of September 1967. The TexasBoard of Education has approved the appointing by Dr. J. w...Edgar, Commis-sioner of Education, of a State Aerospace Education CounCil. This council willconsist of 21 members. Mr. Arthur I.

Of this number, 70,228 tests were administeredand subsequently processed by the Centralized Testing Section. Inaddition,28,609 achievement ribbons were shipped for presentation to qualified cadets.In an effort to increase incentive on the squadron level, two examinations, theCurry Achievement Examination for Cadets and Phase II, Senior MemberIndoctrination Examination, were decentralized. Due to the decentralization ofthese two examinations .there bas been a decline in testing because more cadetsare tested on the Curry Achievement than any other examination.

SENIOR MEMBER TRAINING PROGRAMDuring the year t the publications of the senior member training program wereanalyzed and evaluated. This resulted in the replacement of one Phase II textand the addition of another. The CAP ECI Officer Course was modified to bringit up to date. The Incentive Awards System provides for the presentation ofawards to recognize educational and leadership achievements of CAP membersparticipating in the program. Participation in all phases of the program con-tinued to increase in 1967. Plans were firmed up for the establishment of theCAP Staff College.

CAP CHAPLAINCYThe moral and spiritual welfare of CAP personnel is the primary responsibilityof every CAP chaplain. This chaplaincy is composed of 1,055 clergymen whohave been endorsed by their respective church certifying agency. Thesechaplains contributed over 96,000 man-hours on behalf of the CAP chaplain'sprogram in 1967. They conducted or participated in over 45,000 services,meetings, lectures, addresses, consultations. and visits, resulting in over578,000 direct contacts with cadets and senior members of CAP and membersof local communities on behalf of CAP.

SUPPORT FOR CAPPROPERTY ACQUIRED FROM DODThe acquisition or original value of DOD surplus/excess property obtainedby CAP during 1967 was $3,684,379. This is a decrease from 1966when CAl?acquired property totaling $5.007,933. The decrease is attributed to DOD'scost reduction program; whereby, less equipment is available for screening.OCCUPANCY OF DOD FACILITIESThe CAP units occupy 326,524 square feet of building and office space, and134 acres of land. The prior year (1966) figure was 339.293 square feet ofspace, and 233 acres of property. This decrease is largely due to DOD'sdirected disposal actions concerning real property. .

CO RPORATE O WNED A IRCRAFT~he total number of corporate owned aircraft as of 31 December 1967, increasedto 8127'from one year earlier when the inventory was 786. While the inventorytncreased, the average. age of the fleet decreased. For the first time in CAPhistory, more arrcraff were purchased for the corporation than were donatedby Department of Defense units.M ILITARY RESERVE SU PPORT 0For the fi1;st time since its inception in 1960, the Reserve Assistance ProgramShowed a loss in participants. This year a total of 517 Reservtsts worked withCAP compared to 64B at the endof1966. While the number of hours contributed,77,000, compares favorably with the 77,879 contributed in1966. This downwardtrend was viewed with some concern since Reserve partacipants are considereda valuable asset to the CAP. In their role as instructors, advisors, test controlofficers, etc., and in their short tours of active duty assisting in summer cadetactivities and inAerospace Education Workshops, they have provided a solutionto many of the problems which beset CAP.In order to add more incentive for these Reservists to work with CAP, a newprogram was developed and presented to Continental Air Command and Head-quarters USAF for approval. This approval was obtained and Reservists whowork with CAP can now (1) gain one point toward retirement for each two hoursof participation; (2) belong to the CAP unit with which they work; (3) be assuredan Officer Effectiveness Report; and (4) have anopportunity to obtain short toursof active duty to assist in cadet special activities and workshops. In addition,a new Air Reserve Squadron was authorized to support these Reservists andwill be activated in Denver. Colorado on 1 January 1968.A comprehensive campaign was developed and implemented to inform eligibleReservists of the revised program. With the backing and assistance of AirReserve Per-sonnel Center and Continental Air Command, a tenfold increase inReservists is anticipated within the next year. This increase would equateto three Reservists for each CAP unit,
