TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES

This is a report of the activities of Civil Air Patrol during calendar year1985 submitted in accordance with the requirements of Public Law 79-476.Civil Air Patrol was established on 1 December 1941 as an emergency ac-

tion to make volunteer civilian aviation personnel and aircraft available to

the national defense effort. Civil Air Patrol operated as a division of the

Office of Civilian Defense until April 1943 when the Army Air Forces wasassigned jurisdiction for the remainder of the war years ..

Following its wartime service, Civil Air Patrol was chartered by the 79th

Congress on 1 July 1946 as a volunteer, nonprofit corporation. Then, on26 May 1948, the 80th Congress passed Public Law 557 which granted Civil

Air Patrol status as the civilian auxiliary of the Air Force.

During 1985, Civil Air Patrol continued to add to its long record of

achievement and service with solid performance in each of its missionareas. Included in this report are details of significant accomplishments in

emergency services assistance to people in distress, further development in

aerospace education for Civil Air Patrol members and the general public,and training and leadership development programs for both cadet and

senior members.

We are thankful for the capable and dedicated CAP volunteers and are

proud of their outstanding performance during 1985.We are also gratefulfor the continued support of the Congress and for the advisory andmaterial support provided by the United States Air Force.

We are pleased to present this report of Civil Air Patrol activities during

the past calendar year.

AEROSPACE EDUCATION

For the Civil Air Patrol aerospace education pro-gram, the year 1985 can best be described as one of growthand stimulating change. By revitalizing existing programsand structuring and implementing plans for new ones, the

objectives of continuing to educate our own membershipsand the American public were accomplished.The Aerospace Education Program for Senior

Members (AEPSM) continued its rapid growth. More than4,000 CAP senior members have completed the 3-year-oldprogram. Its success continues to be due [0 the" leadershipby example" concept, and it is rewarding to see an increas-ed completion rate by CAP region, wing, and squadronleaders.

NATIONAL CONGRESS ON AVIATION AND SPACEEDUCATION

The 1985 National Congress on Aviation and SpaceEducation (NCASE) was held 21-23 Marchio Las Vegas,

Nevada. The event was attended by nearly 1100 en-thusiastic educators, dignitaries. and exhibitors fromacross the nation. Cosponsored by the NationalAeronau tics and Space Administration, FederaJ AviationAdministration, National Air and Space Museum, andCivil Air Patrol, the annual congress is designed to pro-mote an understanding of aviation and space educationthroughout the nation. The forum of the congress pro-motes awareness of new developments and advances in

technology and motivates participants to inform the publicabout the impact of aviation and space on every aspect 'ofour society. No better vehicle has been established for in-tegrating aviation and space education as a curriculum ele-ment in the schools of our nation,

The eighteenth annual meeting opened with Presen-

tation of Colors and introductions by the Master ofCeremonies, Dr. Edgar B. Wycoff, Associate Professor ofCommunication at the University of CentraJ Florida,Orlando.

Aerospace excitement prevailed as participants wereaddressed by notables such as Dr. PauJ E. Garber.Historian Emeritus of the National Air and SpaceMuseum; Mr. Dennis M. Kenneally, Deputy AssistantSecretary of the Air Force (Reserve Affairs); and Col JoeW. Kittinger, Jr., USAF Retired, who made the first trans-atlantic solo balloon flight last year.

A sequential and concise Instructor Guide to accom-pany Horizons Unlimited was also written, It features

useful instructional techniques and guidelines whichparallel each of the blocks of study being used by thecadets. In addition, a final examination was written andprinted for flexible use with both the new and fanner text-books.

AEROSPACE EDUCATION WORKSHOPSCivil Air Patrol's most important contribution to

aerospace education continues to be its support or reachertraining 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 leaching upon return to the classroom orschool system. Civil Air Patrol, in cooperation wiLh col-leges. universities, and individual school systems, sup-ported 209 graduate-level workshops in 40 stares with ap-proximately 5,000 educators attending.

Civil Air Patrol provided advice, assistance and sup-port in developing curriculums according to the re-quirements of the host institution. Air Force support wasprovided by Air Force Reserve personnel on active dutyLours who provided liaison and instructional support toworkshop d.irectors. In some cases, Air Force airlift wasprovided for workshop participants to vis:it an aerospacefacility as part of the curriculum.

To better promote the continuation of aerospaceeducation workshop excellence, a survey instrument wasdevised tomeasure "success." Findings will be shared withworkshop directors nationwide as this 3D-year endeavorcontinues [0influence our nation's education system.

THE CADET PROGRAM

A primary objective of Civil Air Patrol is to provide

a program to develop and motivate the youth of the coun-

try to leadership and responsible citizenship through an in-

terest in aviation. The program is open to United Stales

citizens and persons lawfully admitted for permanent

residence to the United States and its territories and posses-sions who are 13 years of age, or have satisfactorily com-

pleted the sixth grade, through 18 years of age. Upon

reaching 18, cadets may choose to either become senior

members or continue in the cadet program until their 21st

birthday.

Cadets are provided with opportunities to develop

their leadership skills in an aerospace-oriented environ-

ment. Learning is achieved through a combination of

study and performance involving both individual and

group effort. Cadets learn and develop under the guidance

of adult CAP leaders with the advice and assistance of

U.S. Air Force liaison personnel. Cadets are permitted to

progress at their own pace through a structured program

of aerospace education, leadership training, physicalfitness, moral leadership, and planned aerospace-related

activities. Throughout the program, cadets become eligibleto participate in encampments, orientation nights, and a

variety of national and International activities. Other in-

centives and benefits include: increase in cadet rank,

receipt of ribbons and award certificates, eligibility to

compete for academic and flight scholarships and advanc-

ed entry rank of pay grade E-3 should a Mitchell Award

recipient choose [Q enlist in the U.S. Air Force.

INTERNATIONAL AIR CADET EXCHANGE (lACE)

The lACE program was established to foster interna-tional understanding, goodwill, and friendship among

young people who share a common interest in aviation.

The program was first conducted in 1947 between tbe AirCadet League of Canada and the Air Training Corps of

Great Britain. Civil Air Patrol, with the assistance of the

U.S. Air Force, entered the exchange in 1948. The pro-

gram has grown over the years, having involved some 41

countries at one time or another.

During 1985. 114 cadets and 20 senior escorts were

exchanged with cadets from 12 other lACE Association

member nations and three countries in the Pacific. Ex-changes with Pacific countries are arranged and conducted

bilaterally by Civil Air Patrol under similar rules and for-

mat and in conjunction with the regular lACE program.During the 19-day exchange, sponsoring organizations in

each country provide visiting cadets with a variety of ac-tivities such as tours of Air Force installations; visits to

aerospace industries, airports and air traffic control

facilities; orientation flights in gliders and powered air-

craft; and sightseeing trips. Visitors usually stay in the

homes of host families to enhance mutual understanding

and cultural exchange.

Kirtland site, the course was also conducted at Fort Knox, Ken-

tucky and George Washington National Forest In Virginia. (Photoby Rand McNatt)

CADET ENCAMPMENTSAttending an encampment is usually the cadet's

first exposure to the everyday excitement and challenge ofthe aerospace world, Each year, several thousand are pro-vided this experience through attending encampments con-ducted at Air Force bases or other military facilitiesthroughout the United States and Puerto Rico. Thisfirsthand look at the military lifestyle allows cadets to talkwith and observe men and women of the active armedforces and gain practical experience and information onaerospace-related career opportunities.

Attendance at an encampment is a significant per-sonnel development aspect of the structured CAP CadetProgram. H is a prerequisite to the completion of the first

seven of the 15 achievement levels and attaining theGeneral Billy Mitchell Award, which is the first majormilestone of the Cadet Program, Cadets who earn the Mit-chell Award become eligible for more advanced special ac-tivities and automatically earn the grade of airman firstclass (E-3) should they choose to enlist in the Air Force.

Last year, 5,007 CAP cadets and 963 CAP seniormembers attended encampments at 23'Air Force bases andat 19 other Department of Defense facilities. An additional22 encampments were conducted at non-DOD facilities.

CADET SPECIAL ACTIVITIESCadets earn the right to participate in several

nationally conducted special activities as they progress

through the structured program. During 1985, a total of

759 cadets participated in these activities. The most com-

petitive and prestigious activity was the International AirCadet Exchange which involved 114 cadets and 20 adult

escorts in an exchange with 15 countries. The Cadet Of-ficer School conducted at Gunter Air Force Station,

Alabama. and taught by the Air University faculty was at-

tended by 100 cadets from 32 CAP wings. The lO-day pro-

gram featured the development and application of basic

leadership and management skills.

The Air Training Command Familiarization Coursehosted by the Air Training Command (ATC) at one

undergraduate navigator and two undergraduate pilot

training bases was attended by 86 cadets from 25 wings.

The programs at Mather AFB, California; Columbus

AFB, Mississippi; and Laughlin AFB, Texas not only ac-

quainted cadets with specific activities of ATC, but also

stimulated cadet interest in the Air Force career oppor-

, tunities, The Pararescue Orienta/ion Course was con-ducted by the USAF Pararescue School to instruct the 115

cadet participants in the various techniques of rescue

operations. This exceptionally popular l-week program

was conducted at three sites: Kirtland AFB, New Mexico;

Fort Knox, Kentucky; and George Washington National

Forest, Virginia.

The National Cadet Competition conducted at Max-

well AFB, Alabama, during the last week of December was

attended by 128 cadets and 32 escorts. A l6-member team

from each of eight CAP regions competed in aerospace

knowledge, physical fitness, and precision drill. The New

York Wing. Bronx Group Team, representing the Nor-

theast Region, was the winner and was presented the AirForce Chief of Staff Sweepstakes Trophy.Two new cadet special activities were added in 1985.

The Senator Jennings Randolph Soaring School was con-

ducted at Central Missouri State University with twocadets from 'each of the eight regions receiving ground and

flight training leading to a solo flight in a nonpowered

glider. The Blue Beret Encampment was conducted for

many years as a regional activity, but due to its immensepopularity it was conducted in 1985 as a national cadetspecial activity. The 2-week program provided instruction

in survival, drill and ceremonies, fl:ightIine operations, and

aircraft traffic direction and control. The activity con-ducted primarily at Yolk Field, Wisconsin, also included a

trip to the Experimental Aircraft Association Airshow atOshkosh, Wisconsin. for the 200 participating cadets.

FLIGHT TRAJNlNGCivil Air Patrol allocated $33,000 in its fiscal year

1985 budget to provide locally conducted solo flight train-ing and orientation flights for cadets. The funds provided53 solo flight scholarships to cadets in the 52 CAP wings

and overseas units. Scholarships covered expenses ofground school and flight training leading to solo Qualifica-

tion.CAP cadets may also qualify for a series of six

30-minute orientation flights. The program is funded and

conducted at wing and unit levels. but the CAP nationaltreasury provides partial reimbursement for the first flight.During 1985, the 52 wings and overseas units were partiallyreimbursed for the expense of providing over 3300 cadetstheir first flight experience and several thousand additional

cadets were provided flights in the ongoing 6-flight seriesat the expense of local CAP units and individual CAP

members.

EMERGENCY SERVICES

Civil Air Patrol Emergency Services strives to savelives and relieve human suffering while safeguarding thelives of CAP personnel providing this service. CAP insistsupon professionalism in organization, training and mis-sion execution to accomplish this service and permits onlyQualified members to participate in actual missions. TheEmergency Services mission includes search and rescue insupport of the Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Service inthe Continental United States, the United States CoastGuard in Puerto Rico, and the Joint Rescue CoordinationCenter in both Hawaii and in Alaska. The Emergency Ser-vices mission also includes civil defense and disaster reliefoperations in support of local. state, federal and otheremergency services organizations.

During 1985 CAP responded to disaster relief re-quests on at least four major occasions. These included thePuerto Rico flood and mud slide, floods on the MiddleEastern U.S. Coast, and hurricanes on the Gulf Coast and

Eastern Seaboard. CAP cooperates with local civil of-ficials and rescue organizations in search and rescue opera-tions and aJso has a mutual support relationship with theAmerican National Red Cross, Salvation Army, FederalEmergency Management Agency, Federal Aviation Ad-ministration, National Voluntary Organizations Active inDisaster. and other humanitarian organizations in conduc-ting disaster relief operations. In 198.5CAP and AmericanRed Cross extended their agreement of mutual support.CAP assisls the American Red Cross with their blood andtissue programs and provides a transportation platformfor Red Cross use to collect and distribute blood andtissue. Also in 1985. CAP and U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliaryentered into an agreement of mutual assistance and

cooperation for training and actual search and rescue ordisaster relief activity.

SEARCH AND RESCUEThe National Search and Rescue Plan charges the

U.S. Air Force with responsibility for coordinating inlandsearch and rescue operations in the United States. 1n itsrole as the auxiliary of the Air Force, Civil Air Patrol is theprimary resource available to the Air Force in fulfilling theresponsibility of inland search and rescue.

In 1985, the Southeast, Pacific, Rocky Mountain andNorth Central CAP regions participated with the Air ForceReserve Coordination Center (AFRCC) in search andrescue (SAR) awareness symposiums. The. conferencesbrough t local, state, and federal rnembers of the SAR corn-munity together to exchange knowledge about each other'sSAR capabilities and operating procedures. The meetingsplayed a significant part in CAP's continuingeffort to pro-mote awareness and improvement of SAR.

During 1985, Civil Air Patrol participated in 2,327Air Force authorized search and rescue missions, flew14,210 hours, and was credited with locating 1,593 searchobjectives and saving 1161ives.

For the fifteenth consecutive year the number ofCAP finds on Air Force authorized missions has increased;from 103 in 1971 to 1,593 in 1985. CAP flew approximate-ly 8 00 /0 of search hours on missions coordinated by the AirForce Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC). In additionto supporting Air Force requests, the CAP wings in Loui-siana, Florida, Puerto Rico, Alaska, Hawaii, and Califor-nia frequently provided search assistance to the U.S. CoastGuard.

The emergency locator transmitter (EL1') continuesto be the best hope for timely rescue of survivors of generalaviation air crashes; however, the high incidence of non-distress ELT activations and voice transmissions on ELTfrequencies are major areas of concern. CAP is workingclosely with other organizations to increase ELT reliabili-ty. CAP continues to inform the aviation community ofthe importance of maintaining reliable ELT equipment,monitori ng of the ELT frequency, and filing accurateflight plans. CAP also has continued to explore and workwith other agencies towards more efficient and accuratemethods of locating downed aircraft to increase the chanceof finding survivors.

MISSION SUMMARIESThe following extracts from official Air Force reports arerepresentative summaries of Air Force-authorized missionsfor which Civil Air Patrol was credited with the saving oflives:

ExercIse Br/mfrost. An Ala skan CAP a Ircrew preflights an a trcr« ftfor a mission during exercIse "Brim frost 85." Every two years, ajoint mil itary exercise is conducted In the Artlc to test men andmaterial in the subfreezing temperatures, CAP members surveyedairfields, provided coastal surveillance, visual reconnaissance,courier service, passenger transport and photo support. The exer-cise proved CAP to be as valuable to naUonal defense today as InWorld War II.

CIVIL PREPAREDNESS AND DOD SUPPORTCivil preparedness is an integral part of national

security and is an essentialelemenl of the U.S. deterrentposture. Accordingly, the Joint Chiefs of Staff areauthorized to call upon the military services for resourcesneeded to support civil preparedness. CAP, as the officialAir Force auxiliary. can become a valuable resource to theAir Force and DOD in assisting with this mission. CAP hascoordinated with the Federal Emergency ManagementAgency (FEMA), Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

U.S. Readiness Command, U.S. Army, U.S. Navy, CoastGuard. and other DOD agencies to develop plans for sup-porting civil and military noncombatant requirements. In1985 CAP provided support for the Amalgam Chief,GlobaJ Shield, Brirnfrost, and Night Tango exercises. Sup-port can include:

• Search and rescue (SAR) for downed aircrews• Damage assessment, both visual and photo-graphic

• Airborne radiological monitoring• Communications: !IF and VHF• Dispersal airfield support• Courier flights for personnel. small parts anddocuments

• Continental US Air Reconnaissance for DamageAssessment (CARDA)

• Natural disaster response and support• Command and control for air and ground move-ments

• Medical evacuation/transportation• Target simulation• Radar and lor communications systems evalua-tion

• Coastal area surveillance

A ',port Survey. Members of VIrgInia's Prince WlI lfam CompositeSquadron conducted a week·long etr traffic survey of thManassas and WoodbrIdge Airports for the Virginia Departmenof Aviation. Capt B. T. Marking Identifies an aircraft on ttne! approach while Cadet Rocky Deja Pens radios information ondepartIng a trcrett to a central recording stetson. The Departmenof Aviation used data col/ected by CAP as the basis for allocatfngairport maintenance and development funds.

Civil Air Patrol participated in regional conferencewhich acquainted civil and military authorities wltb statand national plans concerning civil and military defensemergencies. CAP has periodically demonstrated its abilitto support military requirements by providing backupcommunications connectivity for different Air Force anDOD agencies, site evaluation for the Continental U.SAirborne Reconnaissance for Damage Assessment (CARDA) System, and aerial transport support in movincritical supplies, classified materials, and key personnel.

MILITARY TRAINING ROUTE SURVEYSCAP helps assure the safety of Air Force aircrew

members by providing aircraft to survey military low-levelflight training routes for hazards and environmental fac-tors. The FAA has established military training routeswhich allow military pilots to practice low-level bomb, air-drop, and reconnaissance missions. The routes selected

enable a realistic yet safe mission to be flown with the leastpossible environmental impact. The FAA requires anaerial visual survey to be flown below 1,000 feet, oncedown the center and once along each side. During 1985,43

training routes were surveyed with CAP support.

AIR FORCE PARTS AND PERSONNEL TRANSPORTAlthough a limited activity. CAP's role in transpor-

ting aircraft parts, personnel and other acquired items isbenefiting both CAP and the Air Force. Many Air Forcebases serve as central supply points or have satellite opera-tions at nearby bases. When there is an immediate need forthis support, CAP can transport the required items. allow-ingcombat support aircraftto maintain operationalstatuswithout

the delays of scheduled transportation and without wasting

valuable aircrew training time. During 1985, New Hamp-shire, New York, Maine, North Dakota and South DakotaWings flew support missions for Air Force bases in theirstates. j

In a support operation similar to this, CAP wingshave agreements with Air Force Military Airlift Command(MAC) bases to transport data automation packages to

other bases for processing in cases of electrical poweroutages. This important service has been performed for theAir Force as needed. I

DRUG INTERDICTIONThe Civil Air Patrol, with the ooncurrence of the

U.S. Air Force, has agreed to support the U.S. CustomsService in a program of air reconnaissance to assist inlocating illicit drug traffic along the boundaries of theUnited States. The CAP will assist Customs in searchingfor contraband-laden vessels and aircraft attempting to il-legally enter the U.S. Once CAP detects suspected smug-glers, notification can b e made to Customs officers whowill aet to apprehend. Under no circumstances will CAP be

used for bot pursuit or to perform enforcement functions.

Marcy Mission. Eleven·Month-old Corey Hatcher was cared for

by RN Linda Mount and his mother (background) during flight

from Montgomery, Alabama to the University of Texas Health

Science Center at SanAntonio, Texas. Corey was born with a

narrowed windpIpe that had become completely blocked by

scar tissue following unsuccesstul corrective surgery.

Surgical insertion of a tracheostomy tube allowed him to

breath but placed him in constant danger should the tube col-

lapse. Corey needed special surgery that was available only at

the San Antonio facility. Col John McCormack and Capt

James Findley of the CAP louisiana Wing learned of the need

and flew from louisiana to Montg0mery and completed the

mission to San Antonio. Following surgery, Corey's doctors

were optimistic that he would learn to talk and lead a normal

life. (Ptloto by Rand McNatt)

SENIOR MEMBER TRAINING

The three missions of Civil Air Patrol attract a di-

verse group of members with varied education and skill

levels dictating the necessity of having a comprehensive

and standardized training program. Not only must

members be trained to work with cadets and in thespecialties required for the more exciting search and rescue

mission, they must also be trained to do the rou tine day-to-

day activities in areas such as administration, personnel.

logistics, finance, etc., which are fundamental to any suc-

cessful organization.

The objective of the Senior Member Training pro-

gram is to identify training needs and develop programs

which enable senior members to support Civil Air Patrolmore effectively, Because of the voluntary nature of the

organization, senior member training is. by necessity, an

on-going process and is organized into five levels.

Level I. CAP Orientation Course (Membersbip Award)

The Level I CAP Orientation Course is presented intwo parts. The first part provides basic information on the

history and organization of CAP, career development pro-

grams, activities, CAP customs and courtesies. proper

wear of the CAP uniform, and basic principles of leader-

ship and management. This is accomplished through self-

study using a kit of materials known-as the Senior Member

Handbook. The second segment of the course Is a newly

revised slide/tape presentation which reinforces the basic

instruction areas.

Senior Award. Lt Col Ronnie Harmon of the West Virginia Wingwas presented the Senior Member of the Year Award from Br/gGen William B. Cass during the CAP National Board Meeting InNew Orleans.

Level V. Executive (Gill Robb Wilson Award)

Only the most dedicated senior members will attain

this level training. They are required to assume much more

responsibility for CAP activities. They are required to

serve as staff members inCAP training programs and must

continue to serve in a command or staff position for three

years. The academic requirement for this level is comple-

tion of the 7-day CAP National StaIf College (NSC) con-ducted annually at Maxwell AFB AL. This college pro-

vides advanced leadership and management training, an

insight into international affairs, and a higher awareness

of CAP policies on a national level, The NSC makes exten-

sive use of the facilities and faculties of the USAF Air

University Professional Military Education schools. Both

graduate and undergraduate academic credit are available

for college that graduated 76 senior members. in 1985.

Specialjzed Mission Training

CAP senior members participate ill numerous com-

munity level specialized training programs such as those

conducted by the Red Cross and loea1 civil defense agen-

cies and national programs such as:

• Extension COlU"SeInstitute. (Eel). Eel is the

correspondence school of the Air Force and is open to

CAP members without charge. CAP members find ECI

courses in general military training and certain specialized

fields. such as communications, especially beneficial.

CAP-unique courses are also developed and administered

by Eel to augment training in the Level II specialties.

Maj Walker was honored as the CAP Wing Historian ofthe Year durIng the CAP National Board Meeting held in NewOrleans in October.

• Flight Clinics. Civil Air Patrol promotes flight

safety by defraying part of the expense for CAP pilots who

attend a flight clinic sponsored by the CAP and sometimes

in association with the Federal Aviation Administration,

Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association or other flight

safety organizations. The clinics include ground instruc-tion in essential subjects such as flying safety, FAA regula-

tions, emergency procedures, flight planning, and aviation

weather. Participants also demonstrate safe aircraft

piloting skills to an FAA-certified flight instructor or aqualified CAP check pilot.

• Mission Training Exercises. CAP wings conduct

emergency services training and upgrading programs to

improve both the skills of individual members and the ef-fectiveness of the organization as a team. Each wing also

conducts annual disaster relief and search and rescue test

exercises which are monitored by Air Force evaluators.

The tests are used to determine the effectiveness of wing

training programs and wing capability to respond and

satisfactorily execute any mission it may be called upon to

perform. An important side benefit of the test is training

gained through the opportunity provided to practice mis-

sion skills under realistic conditions.

CAP CHAPLAINCY

The CAP chaplaincy, with over 1,000 men andwomen representing 125 religious denominations servingas CAP chaplains, is one of the largest volunteer chaplain-cy programs in the world. These volunteer clergy frOIDthecivilian sector play a specialized role in the religious life,

morale, and morals of Civil Air Patrol's cadet and seniormembers. Each chaplain is screened for professional com-petence and then must receive ecclesiastical endorsementfrom his or her denomination. In addition, each is requiredto be ordained, bave completed four years of college andthree years of seminary or Its equivalent inprofessional ex-perience. The CAP chaplain force is further augmented bysome 250 visiting clergy (not members of Civil Air Patrol)who conduct the cadet moral leadership training programin squadrons tbat are without a duly appointed chaplain.

In addition to performing a specialized and vital roleas personal counselor/chaplain to each CAP member andproviding a chaplain ministry and presence in search andrescue missions, encampments, and memorial and

patriotic observances, one of the most crucial areas ofministry for CAP chaplains is conducting the moral leader-ship program for Civil Air Patrol cadets. The ultimate goalof the moral leadership program is to equip America'syouth and, hopefully, future leaders with a deep sensitivityand strong commitment to moral, spiritual, and patrioticvalues. The Civil Air Patrol Chaplaincy "writing team"continued work on updating these moral leadership ses-sions with new material. Two new series, one on organtransplantation and OTIeon contemporary issues, were dueto be published in early 1986. These pamphlets, titled"Values for Living," contain topics relevant to today'sproblems and offer guidance to individuals in selecting agood set of values for daily living. During the training ses-

sions, the cadets become involved in raising moral issues,looking at inconsistencies, and avoiding forced orpreconceived values. By encouraging cadet participation' inmoral leadership discussions, the CAP chaplain helpsprepare the young cadet mentally and morally to face theworld of tomorrow.
