Emergency ServicesThe general objective of the Civil Air Patrol EmergencyServices program is to save lives and relieve human suffer-ing while safeguarding the lives of CA P personnel render-ing these services. The Civil Air Patrol Emergency Ser-

vices Mission includes search an d rescue operations in sup-port of the Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Service. andCivil Defense and disaster relief activities in support oflocal, state, and national Civil Defense organizations. CivilA ir Patrol cooperates with local civil officials and rescueorganizations in search and rescue operations and has amutually supportive relationship with th e American RedCross, Salvation Army, and other humanitarian organiza-t ions in conducting disaster relieioperations.S EARCRAND R ESCUEThe United States Air Force is assigned responsibility byth e National Search and Rescue Plan for coordinatingsearch operations in the inland region of the United States.The Air Force discharges its responsibility through theAerospace Rescue and Recovery Service (ARRS) of th eMilitary Airlift Command. As the civilian auxiliary of theU.S. Air Force, Civil Air Patrol provides the primary re-sources available t o ARRS in fulfilling this responsibility.During 1977, Civil Air Patrol participated in 896 searchmissions, flew 16,004 hours, and was credited witb locating448 search objectives and saving 53 lives. CAP search forcesalso assisted many other persons who were in distress butnot in immediate danger of losing their lives,

Compared to 1976, CAP participated in 79 more mis-sions and located 53 more search objectives, but flew 1,600

fewer hours. The favorable comparison is attribute-CAP's increased efficiency, the mandatory use of th egeney Locator Transmitter (ELT) by all general aviatioaircraft and the refinement and increased use of two nSAR techniques: (1 ) The FAA Track Analysis Progra(TAP), which provides computer processed radar fligpath data, has proven to be an extremely reliable toolthose instances where it was useable; (2) satellite weathphotos enable the SAR Mission Coordinator to evaluafast developing weather systems and through logic ajudgment. make determinations as to altitude and rouchanges that the pilot of the missing aircraft would proably have made under the circumstances.

SIERRASEARCH

Sierra Seareb For GrummaAmerican YankeeIn the late evening of 18 May 1977,a lightaircraft (American Yankee)with two peopleon board on a VFR flight from Oxnard toSouth Lake Tahoe, Callfomia, was reportedoverdue. The California CAP was alerted at1:30 a.m. on 19 Mayand established a searchbaseat the Placerville Airport. The last knownposition of the aircraft was Westover Airportwhere the pilot had refueled and made a lateafternoon phone caU to the SacramentoFlight Service for a weather update before de-parting to cross the Sierra Nevada MountainRange.CAP mission planners, using satelliteweather photos provided by the NationalEnvironmental Satellite Service determinedthat after the pilot had made the weathercheck atWestover Airport, a front had movedinto his planned flight path. For planning pur-poses, it was concluded that the pilot hadfollowed his flight plan and had encounteredIFR conditions and crashed. The first CAPaircraft was airborne at 6 a.rn. to make asearch of the American Yankee's plannedroute of flight.At midmorning, a CAP search pilot beganreceiving an Emergency Locator Transmitter(E L1) signal in the prime search area west ofLakeTahoe and upon investigation, located aPiper Cub which, by chance, had gone downin the area being searched for the AmericanYankee. An Air Force Aerospace RescueandRecovery Service (ARRS) helicopter reocovered the uninjured pilot who stated thathe had been flying line patrol for the PacificTelephone Company when he crashed.On 20 May, the prime search area wasfurther narrowed through the use of corn-puter recorded radar flight path data sup-piled bythe Oakland Federal Aviation Admin-istration Air Route Traffic Control Center thataccurately displayed the track of the aircraftto the location into which it crashed. At mid-day a CAP search pilot sighted the pilot ofthe American Yankee in a clearing, standingon a large boulder, signaling by waving hisjacket. The pilot was picked up by a 41stARRS helicopter, and although he was onlyapproximately one mile away from the crashsite, the helicopter crew spent almost anhour hovering at treetop level before finaUyspotting the American Yankee wreckage. Apenetrator was lowered through the densefoliage, and two paramedics went to help theinjured passenger who was found next to thewreckage.

The pilot was taken by Air Force helicopterto the Mather Air Force Base hospital fortreatment 01 a broken ankle. The passenger,who was believed to have a broken back,wasdelivered by Air Force helicopter to an am-bulance waiting at the Placerville Airport.Official Air Force observers attributed thesuccessful and expeditious conclusion ofthe mission to the professionalism of theCalifornia CAPSAR team and their use of thelatest techniques and procedures. CaliforniaCAP has been the leader in developing theweather satellite and FAA radar analysistechniques. The use of FAA computerizedradarflight path tracking data Is proving to beboth a lifesaving and money saving break-through In difficult air-crash searches.The FAA Track Analysis Program (TAP)which uses computer processed radar information, has proven to be an extremelyreliable tool in helping CAP searchers get tothe right search area. In 90 percent of ttcases where TAP was usable, it led tHsearchers to within two miles of the missingaircraft. Inmany instances, the position givenwas accurate enough to allow ground teamsto go directly to the crash site.CAP's use ofthe latest aids, such as TAPand satellite weather photos, greatly increasea survivor's chances for a safe recovery.Statistics have shown that 60 percent of thesurvivors of the air crashes are injured, andthe probability of their continued survivaldiminishes with each passing hour and willhave decreased by as much as 80 percentafter the first 24 hours. Therefore, it is allimportant that survivors be found as quicklyas possible, and using the latest techniquesis a big step toward a faster recovery.Using the newest search aids has addi-tional benefits suoh as reducing exposure ofthe search force to the elements which mayhave caused the crash of the aircraft forwhich they are searching, and the reducedflying time of search aircraft means a reduc-tion in the expense of the search effort. CAPis taking advantage of these tools and look-ing for other methods to improve theirservicto the communities they serve. Civil APatrol is interested in all facets of search,rescue, and disaster relief and is ready toassist local, state, and federal agencies intheir humanitarian missions.

RELIEVED. PUotJohn Grenlzer said he plans tontlnue flying despite I lls harrowing expert-.ce but also plans to carry a survival kit withplenty of matches. CAP pilots agreed thatGrentzer was correct in his decision to leavethe crash scene and move to a clearing wherehe could be sighted from the air because tiledense forest woUld have made It Impossible tosee the men If both had remained at tile site.(Pilot os by Larry Ross, Courtesy of The Placer-ville Mountain Democrat).

RESCUE. The injured passenger, David Thompson, who had survived twonights of exposure to the 30degree weather, was given first aid and readied lorrecovery. The men had been unable to make a fire since they were not carryinga survival kit and neither smoked nor carried matches. Thompson, who couldhear the search aircraft but could not be seen because of the dense forestsaid that ne had been confident that the searchers would find them, but bythe second day, had given up hope that he could survive long enough 10 berescued.

RELIEF, ~ J Air Patrol provides disaster relief support to civilau ...m ri t ies on a local. state, an d national level. Local an dtate level support is contingent upon agreements withthose governments. National level support is by agreementith national humanitarian organizations such as Ameri-an National Red Cross and the Salvation Army or bygreement with federal agencies. When ivil Air Patrolperforms relief activity under agreement with a federalgency as authorized b y PL 557, CAP is considered a fed-eral resource as the auxiliary of the United States AirForce. To involve CAP as a federal resource is not authori-zed except when disasters are beyond the capabilities ofthe resources available to civil authorities.Under the Department of Defense, the Department ofthe Army ads as executive agent for aU military support inactual or threatened major disasters and bas primaryresponsibility for military support. This support responsi-bi lity is passed through Forces Command to the ContinentalU.S. Armies, First Army , Fifth Army, and Sixth Army .Air Farce Reserve (AFRES) is assigned overall responsi-bility for Ail ' Force participation in natural disaster reliefoperations. Each numbered Air Force (Reserve) (AF(R))authorises and coordinates employment of the CAP withinits respective geographical area and coordinates all A irForce disaster relief activity with the Region CONUSArmy.

CADET LEAGUE OF CANADA_;a strong supporter of and an active participant in theInternational Ail' Cadet Exchange program for the past 30years, Civil Air Patrol has established good working rela-tions with similar organizations in many countries. A parti-cularly close relationship ha s developed between CAP andthe All' adet League of Canada since the first exchangebetween the two organizations in 1948. A mutual interestin aviation and youth development is the basis of thisassociation.FEDERA L COMMU NICA TIONS COMMISSION (FCC)The FCC ha s been extremely helpful in providing gui-dance on their rules and regulations and in assisting CAPin its efforts to improve its communications program. SamTropea of the FCC Licensing Division and R.C. McIntyreof the FCC Rules Division are members of the CAP Com-munications Committee and assist by providing technicaland administrative guidance.NA TIONA L COU NCIL ON A EROSPA CE EDU CA TION(NCAE)The NCAE is a standing commi ttee of the National Aero-nautic Association and provides a forum for organizationsinvolved in aerospace education. Membership in NCAE islimited to organizations, no individual memberships areallowed. CAP, and more than 20 other organizations,cooperate in a nationwide effort to promote and improveaerospace education at a n levels.S VATION ARMYe Salvation Army is chartered by Congress andti, rged in the Federal Disaster Relief Act of 1970 withresponsibility to assist persons in n eed as a result of disas-te r emergencies. This is a common cause with CA P and toinsure that the maximum potential of both organizations toas sist p erso ns in need will b e realized, a Statement ofCooperation between CAP and the Salvation Anny wassigned in 1973.There ha s since been a continuing develop-ment and strenghtening of the mutually beneficial relation-ship.U .S. A IR FORCE RESERVEThe experience and skills of Air Force Reserve person-nel continue to be a valuable asset in support of CivilA ir Patrol programs. Reservists serve as the staff ofthe CAP Cadet Officers School and National Staff Collegeconducted each summer at Maxwell Air Force Base. Theyalso concurrently support cadet encampments, aerospaceeducation workshops, solo flight encampments, and a widevariety of other special activities. Reservists serve shorttours of active duty to assist with national level CAP pro-grams, but the bulk of their work is at the grass roots levelassisting with the cadet program and with seniors in searchand rescue exercises an d effectiveness tests. Their only payfor tbis duty is point credit for retirement.DEFENSE CIVIL PREPAREDNESS AGENCY (DCP A )The DCPA, through its eight regional offices, coordinatesith state and local governments in developin g and ad-.nistering civil preparedness programs. Under a 1974Memorandum of Understanding between CAP and DCP A,Civil Air Patrol coordinates with state and local govern-ments in developing agreements that w ill make CAP sup-port available to these agencies during emergencies. Theagreements within the 52 CAP w in gs are updated annually.

VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS (VFW)As its 78th National Convent ion held in Minneapolisduring August. the VFW adopted a resolution recognizingthe cooperative relationship with CAP and urging all posts,county councils, districts, an d departments to maintainand strengthen their ties with CAP.The longstanding relationship between CA P and VFWhas resulted in VFW Post sponsorship and assistance toCAP cadet squadrons in com mun ities throughout thenation. Civil Air Patrol is grateful for this generoussupport.

AMERICAN RED CROSS IThe American Red Cross is assigned responsibility by theFederal Disaster Relief Act of 1970to assist persons in needas a result of disaster emergencies. One ofCAP's emergencyservices missions is assisting the Air Force in fulfilling itsresponsibilities for natural disaster relief operations.Because of this common cause, the two organizations havedeveloped a close working relationship that has,in recentyears. been formalized by a mutual support agreementwhich extends the relationship to include local R ed CrossChapters and CAP squadrons.AMER ICA N L EG IONThe American Legion and Civil Air Patrol have a com-mon commitment to aerospace education and youth devel-opment, and since 1950, have cooperated in these areas ofinterest. The Legion participated with CAP and the Na-tional Aerospace Education Association in an educationaleffort planned and implemented jointly by the three organi-

zations" Th e Legion also urges .its post commanders to con-tact counterparts in local CAP squadrons an d discussm eans by which the Post can put its interest in CAP intoproducti ve channels.Colorado Christmas. Barbara Cornbas, Coordinator for theColorado Migrant Council, accepted delivery of over f ive tons ofclothing, food, an d toys collected by Colorado CAP membersfor migrant farm workers stranded far the winter in Colorado.Every child received warm clothing and a toy.

morals of the 60,000 Civil Air Patrol cadets and seniormembers, Each CA P chaplain is carefully screened for pro-fessional competence and then must receive ecclesiasticalendorsement by his or he r denomination. In addition, eachi s . required to be in a full-time religious vocation, ordained,and have completed four yeal"S of college and three yearno f s em in ary or its equivalent. The CAP chaplain force isfurther augmented by nearly 350 visiting clergy (not mem-bers of Civil A ir Patrol) who conduct the cadet moralleadership training program in squadrons that are withouta duly appointed chaplain.

spares to individual CAP members for use 01 1 their own air-craft,Proposed Amendment to CAP Supply Bill (10 USC9441). . CAP is eurrently authorized under Public Law 557,Section 9441, Title 10 U SC , to acquire D epartm en t of De-fense (DOD) excess property and to use excess DOD realestate an d facilities. However , because of built-in restrie-tions, CAP's low priority, and DOD interpretation of the

law, mission support resources that may D e acquired byCAP under the current authorization have been severelylimited. L A proposed amendment to Section 9441, Title 10, U SC(The CAP Supply Bill) was introduced in Congress on 6April 1977 as HR 6237. The proposed amendment (HR6237) contains provisions requiring both federally fundedsupport and unfuaded support. The unfunded support pro-visions authorize the USAF to (1 ) acquire excess pe rsonalproperty (aircraft, automotive vehicles, communicationsequipment, and tools) from Federal civil agencies and inhands of government contractors for transfers to CAP;and (2) acquire. excess real property and facilities under

control of Federal civil agencies for use on a loan basis byCAP units. The support provisions requiring additionalFederal funding are (1) free uniforms for CAP cadets atcertain stages of achievement; (2) re imbursement to CAPunits on an hourly basis for aircraft maintenance ex-panded during USAF-approved actual and training searchand rescue missions; (3 ) reimbursement to CAP membersfor telephone tolls and automotive fuels expended duringth e accomplishment of actual an d training search an drescue missions as authorized by USAF; and (4) partialreimbursement (per diem) for subsistence, and quarters toCAP members who travel excessive distances from theirhomes to accomplish actual and training search and rescuemissions as authorized by USAF..Ifthe CA_Pis to maintain its current level of capabilityin search and rescue, disaster assistance, and its other pub-lic service programs in youth development and aerospaceedueation, the passage of the proposed amendment (HR6237) is definitely required.
