Aerospace Education - One of Three CAP Missions. To help promote its mission in AerospaceEducation, Civil Air Patrol has developed a new learning kit known as the "Falcon Force Program"to be used in teaching children in the upper elementary grades about the importance of aerospacein' their lives. The self-contained kit, prepared by a panel of experienced and highly skillededucators, is adaptable to individual, small group, or whole class learning. The program is dividedinto eight sections of study, ranging from the earl lest beglnni ng offl Ight to projections of the futurein space. The sections are nonsequenced and independent of one another and may be used asmini-units in the classroom. Falcon Force will be introduced to the educational media market aftercernpletlon of an extensive nationwide pilot study in over 100 test schools. (Photo by Ken Kennedy)

T O T H E C ON GR ESS O F T H E U NITE D STA TE SThis is a report of Civil Air Patrol activities with financial statements ofthe CAP National Treasury for 1979.The report is required by Public Law476,1 July 1946,under which the Civil Air Patrol was chartered as a benevo-lent, non-profit corporation. Since 26 May 1948, the Civil Air Patrol hasbeen the civilian auxiliary of the United States Air Force, a status grantedby Congress under the provisions of Public Law 557. Thus 1979marked thethirty-first year of formal association between citizen volunteer and pro-fessional military airmen ... an association which has proved mutuallybeneficial to the two organizations and rewarding to the nation as well interms of extending interest, understanding and appreciation of aerospacepower.:During the past year, Civil Air Patrol has continued to build upon its

long record of achievement and service with a solid performance in each ofits mission areas. Included in this report are details of CAP's achievementsin emergency service assistance to persons in distress, innovative develop-ments in aerospace education, and continued progress in leadership develop-ment for both its senior and cadet members.We are thankful for the capable and dedicated CAP volunteers and areproud of CAP's overall performance achieved in 1979 through their efforts.We are grateful for the continued understanding and support of Congressand for the moral and material support given by the United States AirForce; both of which have been fundamental to CAP's success.It is a privilege to present this report of Civil Air Patrol activities duringthe past calendar year.

Support I=orCivil Air PatrolThe CAP-USAF Liaison StructurePublic Law 557 authorized the Secretary of the A ir Forceto provide certain support to CAP such as toe use of A irForce services and facilities. assistance with training, excessequipment: reimbursement fo r fuel, lubricants, an d com-munications expenses on Air Force authorized missions,and Air Force liaison personnel assigned at th e national.regional, and wing levels ofCivil Air Patrol.The A ir FO T ce liaison structure and Civil Ail' Patrol cometogether at the Headquarters CAP-USAF/NationaJ Head-quarters Civil A ir Patrol level. Brigadier General Paul E.Gardner, as the senior officer in the CAP-USAF liaisonstructure, performs duties in a dual status.In hismilitary capacity, he directs USAF support ofCAPand commands all Air Force p erso nn el a ss ig ne d to Head-quarters CAP-USAF and the eight region and 52 wing liai-son offices.In his role as Executive Director o f C iv il Air Patrol, heserves in his private capacity and not as an officer of theUnited States A ir Force. A s Executive Director, he adminis-ters the day-to-day activities of CAP and is a voting mem-ber of the CAP National Board and National ExecutiveC ommittee. T he Air Force staff assigned to HeadquartersCAP-USAF support the Commander, CAP-USAF/CAP Ex-ecutive Director i n bot h functions.In each of the eight 1JSAF-CAP liaison regions whi ch cor-respond to the eight CAP regions that geographically divideth e 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the District of Columbia, anAir Forc Colonel comm ands a small staff in the region of -fice and an officer and noncommissioned officer in each ofthe USAF-CAP Wing Liaison Offices (state level) under hisjurisdiction.USAF-CAP liaison personnel serve as implementingagents fo r policies established by the Commander, CAP-USAF; as field advisors to assist CAP commanders in mis-sion performance; and as liaison and control between CAPan d federal government resources where facilities, services,equipment, or funds are involved.Within the Air Force command structure, HeadquartersCAP-USAF comes under Air University, commanded by

The use of DepartmentDefense (DOD)facilities gives some financial relief to CivA ir Patrol units and provides for maximum utilizationthe facilities. CAP units occupy approximately 350,0square feet of DOD building and office space at 104 loctions. This accommodates less than 15 percent of the CiAir Patrol uni-ts that require better faci l it ies. The reductioin number of DOD faeilities even further limits the avaability of such facilities for CAP use. Enactment of the prposed amendment to the CA P Supply Bill, H R 1200, wouprovide relief since it would authorize CAP use of the sevices an d facilities of other federal civil agencies in additioto DOD property as presently authorized under PL 55T We 10, ns c 9441.

DOD Excess Property. Civil Air Patrol is authorized byPublic Law 557 to acquire equipment and supplies that areexcess to the needs of the Department of Defense. Propertyacquired during 1979 included aircraft, vehicles, communi-c atio ns e qu ipment, o ffic e e qu ipment, and o th er p ro ~rtywith an estimated value of $2,022,000. The estimated valueis 20 percent of the original cost to DOD . Restoration of a i r-craft and vehicles to a safe operating condition and modifi-cation of aircraft to meet FAA airworthiness standards re-quire the expenditure of the limited funds of the Civil A irPatrol Corporation. DOD agencies identified 41 excess air-craft for transfer to CAP during 1979 as compared to 24 in1978.

Prison Program. The Oregon CAP Wing and the Oregon StatePrison at Salem are cooperating in an unusual but mutuallybeneficial program. CAP owned vehicles are overhauled and re-conditioned through the prison's automotive maintenance voca-tional training program at no cost to CAP other than for parts,paint, etc. The program provides more realistic training, sinceprior to its inception work projects were scarce and they wereforced to repeatedly take apart and reassemble the same vehicle.To date, 21 vehicles have been reconditioned and six more arein various stages of repair.Proposed Legislation in Support of Civil Air Patrol A proposed amendment to Section 9441, Title 10, USC( The CAP Supply Bill) was introduced into the H ouse ofR epresentatives as H R 1200 on 22 January 1979,and intothe Senate as S 1629 on 2 August 1979. These two bills con-tain provisions that would require both federally fundedsupport and unfunded suppo rt . The unfunded support pro-v isio ns w ould authorize the U S AF to: (1 ) acquire e xc es s p er-sonal property (aircraft, automotive vehicles, communica-tions equipment and tools) from any federal department oragency , i nc luding exc es s government -owned property andfacilities under control of federal civil agencies for use on aloan basis by CAP units. The support provisions thatwould require additional federal funding are: (1) freeuniforms for CAP cadets in such quantities and under suchlimi tations as the Secretary of the Air Force may prescribe;(2 ) reimburse CAP in a fixed amount per flying hour abovefuel and lubricant costs while participating in Air Forcemissions and certain approved training missions; and (3)reimburse members of CAP for payment of travel expensesand subsistence while assigned to Air Force authorizedmissions,

House Joint Resolution 346, introduced on 24 May 1979,would authorize the President to designate December 1 asNational Civil Air Patrol Day . H ou se Resolution 4 239 to amend the Airport and Air-ways Development Act of 1970 was introduced on 24 M ay1979. This bill would exempt CiviJ Air Patrol from the fed-eral excise tax on its aircraft fleet. H ouse Resolution 4238 would amend 5 U SC Bl41 (TheCAP Compensation Act) to change the deemed monthlysalary on which benefits are computed to that of a GS-2,Step I, and to provide covet'age for cadets 18 years of age orolder.CAP Supply Depot. CAP operates a supply depot atAmarillo, Texas, to obtain, store, and ship aircraft parts toindividual wings. All transportation and handling chargesare paid by the users of this service. Spare parts are pro-vided for the BO OCAP corporate-owned aircraft. consistingof 42 different makes and models. Parts for th e DOD ex cessand CAP-acquired, civilian-type aircraft are usually un-available from other sources. Excess DOD aircraft spareparts are not provided to CAP members for us e on private-ly owned aircraft, but th e depot does sell vendor-acquiredspares to individual CAP membe r s for use on their ow n air-craft.

Community Service. John Stankus, commander of NewYork's Taconic Cadet Squadron and an employee of IBM, pre-sented a check for $1,045 on behalf of IBM's community serviceprogram to cadet deputy commander Stephen Hughes. Suchlocal support is needed and appreciated because it contributesgreatly to the vitality and success of the grass roots units of CivilAir Patrol that are performing the organization's basic missions.23

ASSociation With OtherorganizationsThe success of Civil Air Patrol, like most volunteer orga-nizations. is totally dependent upon the commitment anddedication of its membe r'S who c on tr ib ute their tim e, 1 :& 1-en ts , and resources in support of worthwhile objecti ves,Civil AiI' Patrol also isassoeiated with other organizations,

locally, nationally, an d internationally. in areas of commoninterest. A s a volunteer organization with limited re -sources, Civil Air Patrol has found that such relationshipshelp insure that the max im um p ote ntial of each organiza-tion is mor~ nearly realized.Order of Daedalians. This multi-service fraternal organi-zation of military pilots supports CAP through financialcontributions for local squadron activities and solo an d pri-vate pilot scholarships on both th e local and national levels.National recipients of $ 1,000 scholarships in 1979 wert'cadet Thurman Robertson of the Alabama Wjng and cadetAlfonso Garcia of the Puerto R ico W ing. The scholarshipswere used for ground and flight training toward an FAAprivate pilot certificate. AFA AWlllrd. Kenneth Wright from Oregon's Mahlon-SweetComposite Squadron received the Air Force Association SpeciAward in reco.gnition of his selection as the Civil Air Patrol Cadof the Year. The award trophy was presented by AFA representative William Athas during the 1979 meeting of the CAP National Board in Salt Lake City.

The Daedalians is a mult i-service fraternal or-ganizat ion of mili tary pilots that supports CAP through financialcontributions for local squadron activities in addition to two$1,000 national scholarships,Air Cadet League of Canada. The International AirCadet Exchange ( lACE) was conceived and initiated by theAir Cadet League of Canada in 1947. Since 1948, ivil AirPatrol has participated in the exchange and over the yearshas developed an especially dose association with the ACLCin planning-and conducting the program,Air Force Association (AFA). The AFA is a long- tand-ing supporter of Civil Air Patrol programs on both the na-tional and local level. AFA actively participates in the Na-tiona I Congress on Aerospace Educa tion and p rov id es s cho l-arships for' some of the attendees at the Aerospace Educa-tion Leadership Development Course.

American Legion. Aerospace education and youth dvelopment are areas of common interest to the AmericanLegion and Civil Air Patrol and have been the basis of cooeration between the two organizations since 1950. Beginning in 1979. th e American Legion annually recognizes thOutstanding Squadron in each of the 52 CA P wings. T haward certificate, which may go to either a cadet. senior,composite unit, will be presented in appropriate ceremonieby a local American Legion department commanderAmerican Legion Post Com manders and C ivil Air PatroSquadron Commanders are urged to contact each other anexplore areas for further development of mutual supperand cooperation at the grass roots level.American Red Cross.
