EMERGENCY SERVICES

The primary objective of Civil Air Patrol EmergencyServices activities is to save lives and relieve human suffer-ing while still protecting the lives and equipment of thoseinvolved in rendering the services. To accomplish this pur-pose, professionalism in organization, training, planning,and mission execution are emphasized. Particular care isexercised to insure that only trained and qualified membersare allowed to participate in emergency service missions.CAP Emergency Services includes search and rescue insupport of the Air Force aerospace Rescue and RecoveryService in the Continental United States, the United StatesCoast Guard in Puerto Rico, and the Joint Rescue Coor-dination Center in Hawaii and in Alaska. The EmergencyServices mission also includes civil defense and disasterrelief operations in support of local, state, federal andother national emergency services organizations. Addi-tionally, CAP is working with the lCS in the noncomba-tant role of Military Support Civil Defense and LandDefense of the CONUS. CAP cooperates with local civilofficials and rescue organizations in search and rescueoperations and has a mutual support relationship with theAmerican National Red Cross, Salvation Army, FederalEmergency Management Agency, Federal Aviation Ad-ministration and other humanitarian organizations in COD-ducting disaster relief operations.

SEARCH AND RESCUEResponsibility for conducting search and rescue op-erations throughout the Unites States and its possessions isassigned. to agencies designated by the National Search andRescue Plan. The Search and Rescue Mission is divided in-to the three regions of Inland, Maritime, and Overseas toprevent overlapping of responsibilities. The United StatesAir Force is assigned responsibility as search and rescuecoordinator for the Inland region of the United States. Itdischarges its responsibilities through the Military AirliftCommand's Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Serviceoperation of the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center(AFRCC) which coordinates federal resources upon re-quest. In its role as the civilian auxiliary of the Air Force,CAP is a primary resource in fulfilling the responsibilityfor inland search and rescue.During 1983, CAP flew 16,725 hours on 17,745 AirForce authorized search and rescue missions and wascredited with locating 1,074 search objectives and saving154 lives. .The 154 lives saved was an all-time-record high forCivil Air Patrol and for the twelvth consecutive year thenumber of CAP finds on Air Force authorized missionshas increased from 103 in ]971 te 1.074 in 1983. CAP alsocontinued to fly 750 /0 of search and rescue hours on mis-sions coordinated by the AFRCC. According to AFRCCdata, the emergency locator transmitter (ELT) continuedto be the best aid available to searches, and the best hopefor timely rescue of survivors of general aviation aircrashes. The high incident of non-distress ELT activationsand voice transmissions on ELT frequencies are majorareas of concern. The average of 990/0 of all ELTs beingnon-distress combined with a 113 l I T o increase in ELTs dueto SARSAT detection has greatly added. to the missionload of CAP. CAP is working closely with other organiza-tions to increase ELT reliability to insure that when anELT signal is detected, it is indeed a distress signal. CAPcontinues to inform the aviation community of the impor-tance of reliable ELTs and accurate flight plans. CAP con-tinues to explore more efficient and accurate methods tolocate downed aircraft to hopefully increase the chances offinding survivors.

DISASTER RELIEFUnder Department of Defense Directive 3025.1,military resources may be used to supplement assistance tostate and local governments to alleviate the suffering anddamage that result from peacetime civil emergencies.The Department of the Army is designated as the executive agent for all military support to civil authoritieswhile the Air Force Reserve (AFRES) is assigned overallresponsibility for Air Force disaster planning and for coor-dinating and directing Air Force response to civil disasterrequirements.As the official civilian auxiliary of the Air Forceunder Public Law 557, the Civil Air Patrol is often askedto perform Air Force noncombatant missions which in-clude military assistance to civil authorities duringpeacetime disasters. CAP participation is authorized byone of three AFRES Numbered Air Forces when requestedby the Army, as executive agent, or directly from civilauthority when the situation is deemed "imminentlyserious." Civil Air Patrol wings have also negotiatedmemorandums of understandings with individual stateEmergency Management Agencies to assist local and stateauthorities in emergencies that are not of sufficientmagnitude to warrant military assistance.CAP has been cooperating with the EnvironmentalProtection Agency (EPA) in demonstrating the use of theEnviro-Ped to FEMA, military and state EmergencyManagement officials. The Pod, suspended from a lightaircraft, contains two 70mm cameras which can be used todocument the results of a disaster. As a result of these ef-forts, FEMA Region VIII is now testing this equipment forpossible nationwide use. The Illinois Wing of CAP hasdeveloped an airborne T.V. transmitter which operatesfrom a camera aboard a CAP aircraft allowing officials toview a disaster on a T. V. set in their office. This techniquewas successfully used by Arizona CAP to monitor floodsduring 1983 and has been adopted by 12 otber CAP wings.

CIVIL DEFENSEThe Civil Defense Program is an integral part of na-tional security and is an essential element of the U.S. deter-rent posture. Accordingly, the Joint Chiefs of Staff areauthorized to call upon the military services for resourcesneeded to support civil defense. The CAP can assist the AirForce in fulfilling much of this mission. Because of this.the Secretary of the Air Force is required byDepartment ofDefense directives to "furnish appropriate assistance [0units of the CAP engaged in missions related to militarysupport of civil defense."The CAP has coordinated with the Federal Emergen-cy Management Agency (FEMA), Federal Aviation Ad-ministration (FAA), and U.S. Readiness Command todevelop the CAP wartime role to support both civil andmilitary noncombatant requirements. This support in-cludes aerial radiological monitoring, aerial damageassessment, communications and operations support forthe State and Regional Disaster Airlift Plan for each state.CAP participated in nine FEMA sponsored regionalcivil/military conferences which acquainted civil andmilitary authorities with state, regional and national plansrelating to civil and military defense emergencies. CAP hasbeen asked by the Office of the Joint Chief of Staff to par-ticipate in a national joint civil/military exercised designedto enhance cooperation between civil and militaryauthorities on a national scale. CAP demonstrated itsability to support military requirements on a regional basisduring CAP exercise "First Time," by providing alternatelanding base information to airborne SAC aircraft, alter-nate communications for the NORAD alert system, andactual target evaluation for the Continental U.S. AirborneReconnaissance for Damage Assessment (CARDA)system. These efforts have culminated in a CAP opera-tions plan which will integrate CAP capabilities with otheragencies to provide for "military support of civil defense"and "land defense of the CONUS."

SARSAT PROJECTCivil Air Patrol provided extensive support for theAir Force testing of the Search and Rescue Satellite AidedTracking (SARSAT) system by activating test beacons atselected sites throughout the United States. The SARSATsystem is a joint effort of the United States, Canada,France, and Russia to use satellites to improve the capabili-ty to locate ships and aircraft in distress. SARSAT will usesatellites in low, near-polar orbit to monitor for distresstransmissions which are relayed to ground stations to fixthe location of the emergency.CAP aided the SARSAT system test efiort in twoways. First, two aircraft each from the Florida. Colorado,Washington, Alaska. Wings and one from the ArizonaWing were modified with a new generation ELT. The newELT will decrease or eliminate false activations that cur-rent ELTs now experience. Also, at various locations in theUnited States. CAP wings activated a field unit of the newELT to measure the system coverage, accuracy, andreliability .

The system has so far been used to locate and save132 individuals. Non-distress emergency transmitters havealso been located with great accuracy.

MlLJTARY TRAJNING ROUTE SURVEYSThe Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has es-tablished Military Training Routes (MTR) to allowmilitary pilots to practice low-level training missions. Theroutes enable realistic yet safe missions with th e least possi-ble environmental impact. The FAA requires that allroutes be surveyed on a semiannual basis. The survey con-sists of flying the low-level route to identify new un-chartered and potential noise sensitive areas which can beannotated on low-level charts and avoided by MTR users.Strategic Air Command (SAC) and Tactical AirCommand (TAC) have in the past either used commerciallight aircraft and pilots or performed the survey with AirForce user aircraft, usually fighter type. Now, where possi-ble, SAC and TAC units have turned to CAP to fly theroutes with light aircraft designed and outfitted especiallyfor low altitude search and rescue. Sea.soned CAP pilotsfly the aircraft with a U.S. Air Force pilot on board to ac-complish the survey. CAP assisted in the survey of 32military training routes during 1983.Brim Frost. An Alaska CAP alrcrew prepares a Beaver aircraft fora mission during exercise "Brim Frost". Every two years, amilitary exercise Is eondutsd In the Artic to test men and materialin the subfreezing temperatures. The 1983 exercise was held inthe vicinity of Eilson Air Force Base and Fort Greely. At the request of the Alaskan Air Command, Alaska CAP used two Beaverand one Bird Dog aircraft to fly SpeCial Operations Teams into anarea 30 miles behind "enemy lines". The teams made up ofmembers of the Security Police from Elmendorf AFB, functionedas "Insurgency teams" to disrupt the "enemy" and cause havocbehind the lines. CAP's involvemen1 was highly successful andthe military is taking a second look at CAP as an untappedresource which has long been available but little used.

AJR FORCE PARTS AND PERSONNEL TRANSPORTCivil Air Patrol provides local support to Air Forceunits by transporting aircraft parts, personnel, and otherrequired items upon request. Many Air Force bases ervea central upply points or have satellite operations at near-by bases, When there is an immediate need for this sup-port, CAP can transport the required items allowing com-bat aircraft to maintain operational status without thedelays of scheduled transportation and without wastingvaluable aircrew time. During 1983, Alabama, Alaska,Arkansas, New Hampshire, and New York wings new sup-port mlssions for Air Force bases in their states,In a support operation similar to this, CAP wingshave agreements with Air Force Military Airlift Commandbases to transport dataautomation packages to anotherba e for processing in cases of electrical power outages.This important service has been performed for the AirForce on several occasions.

COMMUNICA nONSThe Civil Air Patrol, with its nationwide communica-tion network, provided outstanding support to variousDOD and federal agencies. During CAP exercise "FirstTime," the CAP communication network provided timelydamage assessment reports to the Air Force EmergencyOperations Center, the National Emergency AirborneCommand POSt, the Strategic Air Command, and to theNorth American Air Defense Command (NORAD). Italsoprovided communication from "Safe Haven Cities,"designated by the National Communications System, toreconstitute a national command authority network in theevent of a national emergency _CAP Communications con-tinues its outstanding ful fillment of responsibilities insearch and rescue and national disasters. CAP networksare activated daily to insure positive coverage to the lowestechelon with initiation of the National Command Net be-[ween National Headquarters and [he regions, The regionsactiviare nets to their respective wings, wings to groups andsquadrons, and finally a VHF-FM broadcast to assure in-formation is available to the most remote locations. Addi-tionally, there are special networks organized for specificpurposes using the varied frequency spectrum on both HFand VHF and enabling CAP to operate many netssimultaneously without communication interference. AllCAP radio networks can be interfaced with other agenciesto provide an effective and cohesive nationwide com-munication system,Region Competition.

AEROSPACE EDUCATION MATERIALSA primary project in the development of aerospaceeducation materials during 1983 was revision of the text-book. Aerospace, The Challenge. This book has becomethe standard teaching/reference text for a variety of au-diences, from secondary schools to special college-levelcourses. In addition, it is used by the U ..S. Air Force JuniorReserve Oflicer Training Corps (AFJROTC) as part oftheir aerospace science curriculum and by Civil Air Patrolin a self-study format with the Aerospace Education Pro-gram for Senior Members (AEPSM). Special treatment ofthe revision' was effected for AFJROTC-the text wasdivided by subject matter and printed in two volumes. Thisallowed presentation of selected subject matter to first-year students and save printing costs since fewer copies ofthe second volume were needed for second-year students.

They both place high value on CAPcadet training as preparation for entry Into the AIr ForceAcademy.

AEROSPACE EDUCATION WORKSHOPSCivil Air Patrol's most important contribution toaerospace education continues to be its support of teachertraining through aerospace education workshops. The pur-pose of the workshop program is to provide attendees witha basic knowledge and interest in aerospace which will beincluded in their teaching upon return to the classroom orschool system.Civil Air Patrol, in cooperation with colleges anduniversities and individual schools systems, supported L85graduate-level workshops in 40 states and Puerto Rico in1983. Approximately 5,000 educators attended these pro-jects.

THE CADET PROGRAMOne of the three missions of Civil Air Patrol is toprovide "a cadet program to develop and motivate theyouth of the country to leadership and responsible citizen-ship, through an interest in aviation." The program isopen to United States citizens and persons lawfully ad-mitted for permanent residence to the United States and its

territories and possessions who are 13years of age, or havesatisfactorily completed the sixth grade, through 18 yearsof age. Upons reaching J 8, cadets may choose to eitherbecome senior members or continue in the cadet programuntil their 21st birthday.The program provides cadets with opportunities todevelop their leadership skills in an aerospace oriented en-vironment. Learning is achieved through a combination ofstudy and performance and involves both individual andgroup effort. Cadets learn and develop under the guidanceof adult CAP leaders and with the advice and assistance ofthe U.S. Air Force liaison personnel. Cadets progress attheir own pace through a structured program of 15achievements including aerospace education, leadership,and activities. Throughout the program, cadets becomeeligible to participate in encampments, orientation flights,and a variety of national and international activities. Otherincentives and benefits include: increase in cadet rank,receipt of ribbons and award certificates. eligibility tocompete for academic and flight scholarships, and ad-vanced entry rank of E-3 should a Mitchel1 Award recipi-ent choose to enlist in the U.S. Air Force.

INTERNATIONAL AIR CADET EXCHANGE (lACE)The lACE program is conducted to foster interna-tional understanding, goodwill, and friendship amongyoung people who share a common interest in aviation.The program was initiated by the Air Cadet League ofCanada and the Air Training Command of Great Britainin 1947. Civil Air Patrol, with the assistance of the U.S.Air Force, entered the exchange in 1948. The program hascontinued and grown over the years with some 40countriesparticipating at one time or another.During 1983. 106 cadets and 21 senior escorts wereexchanged with l5 countries. The exchanges with Canadaand 11 European/Middle East countries were arrangedthrough the [ACE Association. Exchanges with lACEAssociation nonmember countries were negotiatedbilaterally. Of the Pacific countries invited to participate inthe 1983 exchange, Japan, Philippines and Singapore ac-cepted.Sponsoring organizations in each country providedtheir visitors with a variety of activities such as tours ofAirForce installations, aerospace industries, and museums;visits to airports and air traffic control facilities; orienta-tion flights in gliders and powered aircraft; and sightseeingtrips. During the 19-day program, visiting cadets usuallystayed in the homes of host families to enhance mutualunderstanding and cultural exchange.

FLIGHT TRArNlNGCivil Air Patrol allocated $33,000 in its fiscal year1983 budget to provide locally conducted solo fligbt train-ing and orientation flights for cadets. The funds providedS 3 solo flight scholarships to cadets in the 52 CAP wingsand overseas units. Scholarships covered expenses ofground school and flight training leading to solo qualifica-tion.Preflight Check. Cadet Darcy Dilling checks the oil level In her air-craft prlor to one of two dally flights during the Minnesota WingCadet Solo Flight Encampment. AU16 cadets at the encampmentsoloed on schedule.

Also, all CAP cadets may qualify for a series of six30minute orientation flights. The program is funded andconducted at wing and unit levels, but the CAP nationaltreasury provides partial reim bursement for the first flight.During 1983, the 52 wings and overseas units were partiallyreimbursed for the expense of providing over 3300 cadetstheir first flight experience through a locally conductedorientation flight.CADET ENCAMPMENTSAttending an encampment can be one of the mostrewarding experiences in a cadet's life .. In most cases theencampment is the cadet's first exposure to the everydayexcitement and challenge of the aerospace world. Cadetsget a rust-hand look at military life style. But, most impor-tantly, they get the opportunity to apply the knowledgegained in the cadet program to practical situations.

The encampment is a significant event in the struc-tured cadet program. The knowledge and experiencegained opens the door to advancement and further oppor-tunity. It is a prerequisite to the completion of the firstseven of the 15 structured achievements, and the attainingof the General Billy Mitchell Award which is the first ma-jor milestone in the cadet program. Cadets who earn theMitchell Award become eligible for more advanced specialactivities and automatically earn the grade of Airman FirstClass (E-3) should they choose to enlist in the Air Force.

During 1983, a total of 5,878 CAP cadets and 1,050CAP senior members attended encampments. Encamp-ments were conducted at 28 Air Force bases and at 18o therDepartment of Defense facilities. An additional 21 en-campments were conducted at non DOD facilities.13

SENIOR MEMBER TRAININGIn its 1946 Act to incorporate Civil Air Patrol, COD-gress declared that an objective of the corporation wouldbe "to provide aviation education and training, especiallyfor its senior and cadet members. " Civil Air Patrol attractsa diverse group of members with varied education and skilllevels which makes a strong and standardized training pro.

gram a basic necessity. Members are trained to work witbcadets and senior members. and in specialities required forthe emergency services mission. Members are also trainedto accomplish the day-to-day jobs inareas such as person-nel, administration, logistics, and finance. Because of thevolunteer nature of the organization, senior member train-ing is a continuing process.The CAP National Headquarters Senior MemberTraining staff identifies training needs and develops pro-grams which enable senior members to more effectively ac-complish the missions of Civil Air Patrol. The staff workswith CAP members in the field at all levels to develop cur-riculum for courses to be conducted by CAP personnel.The CAP Senior Training Program is organized into five

levels.

Level J. CAP Orientation Course (Membership Award)The Level] CAP orientation course consists of twoparts. The flirst part provides basic instruction in suchareas as the history and organization of CAP, careerdevelopment programs, activities. CAP customs andcourtesies, proper wear of the CAP uniform and exposureto basic leadership and management principles through akit of materials known as the Senior Member Handbook.Each senior member is provided this material upon join-ing. The second part of the course is a slide/tape presenta-tion reinforcing these areas.

Stall College. Mal Frank B. Thornburg, left, and Col Jack R.Hornbeck were among the 55 attendees at the CAP National StaffCollege held at Maxwell AFB, Alabama. According to the staff col-lege director, Col John A. Vozzo, "Th.e purpose of the college Istoprovide CAP field grade officers the type of experiences neededto operate complex programs within and outside CAP.

Level n. Technical Specialty Training and OfficerDevelopment (Senior Member Certificate of Proficiency)The senior member begins to train in one or more ofthe CAP specialties and learns to perform unit functions.Study guides are provided and the trainee is encouraged tostudy CAP directives pertaining to the specialty. Oftennew members train under an experienced member in an on"

the-job training situation.CAP Squadron Leadership Schools are conducted lo-cally to augment training in Level IIspecialties. In theseweekend schools, members are provided a workingknowledge of aU specialties and are given in-depth instruc-tion in the specialty of their choice. Upon completion of atechnician rating, the senior member is awarded theLeadership Award Ribbon. Members also learn to handlecertain CAP-unique leadership and counseling situations.and receive instruction on planning unit meetings and ac-tivities. Perhaps as importaint as the stated course objec-tive is the opportunity for members from the samegeographical areas to get to know each other which oftenresults in more cooperation between units in developingand conducting activities.In addition, senior members study a CAP OfficerCourse administered by the Extension Course Institute(ECl) at Gunter Air Force Station, Alabama.Level m. Command and Staff (Grover Loening AerospaceAward)Central to this training I S the Corporate LearningCourse. This course is conducted over a weekend and con-centrates on the provisions of specified regulations, pam-phlets, and manuals of CAP. It is designed to provide thesenior member with the practical knowledge necessary forsquadron management. This course was introduced as partof the Senior Member Training Program in September ofthis year. A requirement to hold a command or staff posi-tion for one year, advancement to the senior rating in thespecialty area begins in Level II and participation in CAPactivities above the squadron level completes this phase oftraining.

CAP members find ECIcourses in general military trainiug and certain specializedfields, such as communications, especially beneficial.CAP-unique courses are also developed and administeredby ECl to augment training in the Level IIspecialties.

Mission Training Exercises. Emergency servicetraining and upgrading programs are conducted by eachCivil Air Patrol wing to improve both the skills of in-dividual members and the effectiveness of the organizationas a team. Each wing also conducts annual disaster reliefand search and rescue test exercises which are monitoredby Air Force evaluators. The rests are used to determinethe effectiveness of CAP wing training programs and wingcapability to respond and satisfactorily execute any mis-sion it may be called upon to perform. An important sidebenefit of test exercises is training gained through the op-portunity provided to practice mission skills under realisticconditions. Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).FEMA is the central point of contact within the federalgovernment for emergency management, from localdisasters to nuclear war, and extends through all levels ofgovernment and the private sector. A revised aerialradiological course and a new aerial damage assessmentcourse are being developed by FEMA I which will greatlyenhance the CAP emergency services capability to supportcivil defense operations.

CAP CHAPLAlI'CYThe CAP chaplaincy, with nearly 1,000 men andwomen representing 125 religious denominations servingas CAP chaplains, is the largest volunteer chaplaincy in theworld. These clergy from the civilian sector play aspecialized and vital role in the religious life, morale. andmorals of the approximately 68,000 Civil Air Patrol cadetsand senior members. Each chaplain is carefully screened

for professional competence and then must receive ec-clesiastical endorsement by his or her denomination. TheCAP chaplain force is augmented by some 350 visitingclergy (not members of Civil Air Patrol) who conduct thecadet moral leadership training program in squadrons thatare without an appointed chaplain.A Specialty Training Program for CAP chaplains be-came available 15 June 1983.
