THE CADET PROGRAMWhen the Congress of the United States acted in1946 to incorporate the Civil Air Patrol, one of it sdeclared objectives was to "provide aviation educationand training, especially to its members." The Civil AirPatrol cadet program is designed to develop the poten-tial of young people through physical fitness, leadership

training, moral, and aerospace education. In 1987 theCivil Air Patrol cadet corps continued to grow, increas-ing its ranks by 1 8 O J o or 4,560 cadets. Cadets, in recordnwnbers, attended state, regional, and national cadetactivities. Eighty-seven CAP cadets and senior membersentered the class of 1991 at the U.S. Air Force Academyin 1987. Civil Air Patrol members constituted 6 . 4 1 1 7 0 ofentering cadets. Sixty-one CAP members graduated andearned their commission as second lieutenants in thegraduating class of 1987. An increased commitment tocadet training and development by the senior membersof Civil Air Patrol has resulted in new growth and spiritin Civil Air Patrol units across the United States. Cadetand senior member involvement in cadet activities hasmade 1987a banner year for the Civil Air Patrol and itscadet program.A primary objective of Civil Air Patrol is to pro-vide a program which will motivate its youth to respon-sible leadership and citizenship through an interest in

aviation. The cadet program is open to United Statescitizens and persons lawfully admitted for permanentresidence to the United Stales and ir s territories andpossessions who are 13 years of age, or have satisfac-torily completed the sixth grade, through 18 years ofage. Upon reaching 18, cadets may choose to eitherbecome senior members or remain a cadet until their21st birthday.The cadet program is designed La provide cadetswith opportunities to learn and develop their potentialin all aerospace oriented environment. This develop-ment is achieved through a combination of study andperformance involving both individual and group ef-fort. Wing, region, and national cadet special activitiesare designed to capitalize on each cadet's interest inaerospace to educate and prepare him or her for futurechallenges. National activities such as Air TrainingCommand Familiarization Course, Cadet OfficerSchool, and Air Force Computer Orientation Coursetake place on active Air Force installations where adetscan seeAir Force men and women serving their country.Many cadet activities take place al other DOD installa-tions utilizing Air Force, Army, OT Navy personnel toLeachand train youngsters a particular skill or concept.Within the unit, cadets progress at their own pace

through the structured 15 achievement program, in-creasing in grade and experience as they accomplish theplanned achievement level. Throughout the program,cadets become eligible [0 participate in orientationflights, encampments, and a variety of national and in-ternational activities. Other incentives and benefits in-clude receipt of ribbons and awards, increased gradeand responsibility, and eligility to compete for academicand night scholarships. Upon the receipt of the MitchellAward (completion of seven achievements) the advanc-ed entry rank in the pay grade E-3 is possible whenenlisting in the U.S. Air Force. in September 1987, CivilAir Patrol Cadet John Schwab of the Alabama Wingreceived the lO,OOOthnumbered Mitchell Award in aceremony at National Headquarters. By tbe end of theyear more than 54,000 cadets had earned a MitchellAward or its equivalent through the Civil Air Patrolcadet program. The Earhart Award (Achievements8-11) was awarded to 454 cadets in 1987. Completion ofthe Earhart is a requirement to attend the InternationalAir Cadet Exchange program. The toughest and mostdemanding award to achieve is the Spaatz Award. Thisyear 44 cadets earned this coveted award.

CADET ENCAMPMENTSAttending an encampment is usually the cadet'sfirst exposure to the everyday excitement and chaUengeof the aerospace world. Each year, several thousandCAP cadets are provided this expectance through atten-ding encampments conducted at Air Force bases orother military facilities throughout the United States,Puerto Rico, and overseas. This firsthand look at themilitary lifestyle allows cadets to talk with and observemen and women of the active armed torces and gainpractical experience and information on aerospace-related career opportunities.Attendance at an encampment is a significantaspect of the structured CAP cadet program. It is aprerequisite to the completion of the first 7 of the 15achievement levels and attaining the General Billy Mit-chell Award. the first major milestone ofthe cadet pro-gram. Cadets who earn the Mitchell Award becomeeligible for more advance special activities andautomatically earn the grade of airman first class (E-3)should they choose to enlist in the Air Force.

Last year, 6,843 CAP cadets and 1,232 CAPsenior members attended encampments at 37 Air Forceinstallations and at 31 other Department of Defensefacilities. An additional 23 encampments were con-ducted at non-DOD facilities.

EMERGENCY SERVICESThe Civil Air Patrol Emergency Services strives tosave lives and relieve human suffering. Civil Air Patroldemands professionalism to accomplish this service andqualifies members to participate in actual missions. TheEmergency Services mission includes search and rescue

in support of the Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Ser-vice in the continental United States, the United StatesCoast Guard in Puerto Rico, and the Joint RescueCoordination Center in both Hawaii and Alaska. Addi-tionally, the emergency services mission includes civildefense and disaster relief operations in support oflocal, state; and federal agencies plus other emergencyservices organizations.During 1987 , Civil Air Patrol responded toseveral disaster relief requests including support offorest fire-fighting crews in Oregon and flood assistanceafter heavy rains in New York, Massachusetts, and NewHampshire. Kansas CAP located isolated farmers andstranded motorists after a major spring blizzard anddirected aid to assist in rescuing these victims. Civil AirPatrol cooperated with local civil officials and rescueorganizations in search and rescue operations and alsobas mutual support relationships with the American Na-tional Red Cross, Salvation Army, Federal EmergencyManagement Agency, Federal Aviation Administration,U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary, and other humanitarianorganizations in conducting disaster relief operations ..In 1987, Civil Air Patrol and tbe Salvation Armyupdated their agreement of mutual support. Civil AirPatrol assists the American Red Cross with their blood

and tissue program and provides transportation for RedCross use to collect and distribute blood and tissue. TheCalifornia Wing, under the auspices of the state,entered into an agreement with the Northern CaliforniaTransplant Bank to establish a CAP Live OrganTransport (CAPLOT) program whereby CAP providesair transportation between remote collection sites anddonor banks for live tissue and organs. The wing wascredited with 35 saves in 1987 and flew 44 additionallife-enhancing missions; transporting live bone, hearts,livers. kidneys, and corneas.

SEARCH AND RESCUEThe U.S. Air Force is assigned responsibility bythe National Search and Rescue Plan for coordinatinginland search and rescue operations in the UnitedStates. As the civilian auxiliary of the Air Force, CivilAir Patrol is the primary resource used by [he Air Forcein fulfilling its responsibility for inland search andrescue.]n 1987,. Civil Air Patrol flew 17,787 hours on2,097 Air Force-assigned missions and was credited withlocating 1,518 search objectives and saving 108 lives.Civil Air Patrol flew over 80 percent of the search hourson missions coordinated by the Air Force Rescue Coor-dination Center (AFRCC). Civil Air Patrol wings incoastal areas frequently assisted the U.S. Coast Guardin locating emergency position indicating radio beaconson boats and ships.

The high incidence of inadvertent activationand voice transmission on emergency locator transmit-ter (ELT) frequencies is of major concern, Civil AirPatrol continued LO work with the AFRCC in an effortto decrease the false ELT rate. In cooperation with theAFRCC and the National Oceanic and AtmosphericAdministration, CAP printed and distributed over10,000 posters that alerted civilian pilots to the dangersof [he interference of false ELT signals. Civil Air Patrolhas continued to explore and work with other agenciestoward more efficient and accurate methods of locatingdowned aircraft and thereby, increase the chances ofsaving lives.In 1987, the CAP Pacific Region participated withthe Air Force Rescue Coordination Center (AFRCC) inthe third round of search and rescue (8AR) awarenesssymposiums. The event brought local, state, and federalmembers of the 8AR community together to exchangeknowledge about each other's SAR capabilities andoperating procedures. The meetings playa significantpart in CAP's continuing effort to promote awarenessand improvement of SAR.

MISSION SUMMARIESThe following extracts from official Air Foree.reports are representative summaries of Air Force-authorized missions for which Civil Air Patrol wascredited with the saving of lives:

CIVIL PREPAREDNESS AND DOD SUPPORTCivil preparedness is essential to the United States'deterrent posture. Accordingly, the Joint Chiefs ofStaff are authorized to calJ upon the military servicesfor resources needed to support civil preparedness. CivilAir Patrol, as the official Air Force auxiliary, is avaluable asset to the Air Force in assisting with this mis-sion. Civil Air Patrol bas worked with the FederalEmergency .Management Agency (FEMA) , FederalAviation Administration (FAA), U.S. Army ForcesCommand (FORSCOM), and various Army, Navy,Coast Guard. and other DOD agencies to develop plansfor supporting civil and military noncombat-ant requirements. Civil Air Patrol tasking in support ofnational agencies includes: Search and rescue (SAR) for downed aircrews Damage assessment, visual and photo-

graphic Airborne radiological monitoring Communications: HF and VHF, and VHF-FM Courier flights for personnel, small parts, anddocuments Continental US Air Reconnaissance forDamage Assessment (CARDA) Natural disaster response and support Medical evacuation/transportation Radar and/or communications systemsevaluation Coastal area surveillance IR/VR low-level [raining route surveys State and Regional Disaster Airlift (SARDA)plans

AIR FORCE PARTS AND PERSONNELTRANSPORTAlthough a limited activity. CAP's role ill trans-porting aircraft parts, personnel. and other items isbenefiting both CAP and the Air Force. Many AirForce bases serve as central supply _points or havesatellite operations at nearby bases. Wben there is animmediate need for this support, CAP can transport therequired items. allowing combat support aircraft tomaintain operational status without the delays ofscheduled transportation and without wasting valuableaircrew training time. During 1987, The Michigan wing,CAP, concluded an agreement wilh an Army securitypolice contingent to provide transport to remote sites.

CIVIL Am PATROL CUSTOMS MISSION.On 14 November 1985, Civil Air Patrol (CAP),the U.S. Air Force, and U.S. Customs Service enteredinto an agreement whereby CAP would assist the U.S.Customs Service by performing air surveillance recon-naissance flights along the boundaries of the UnitedStates in support of the government's drug interdictioneffort. Civil Air Patrol aircraft operating costs are paidby the Air force with Customs Service reimbursing theAir Force. Civil Air Patrol support is limited to data-gathering flights and supporting communications of apassive nature. It does not involve CAP members in Jawenforcement. The program began along the Floridacoast, with CAP being on call to check on suspiciousvessels. and is now expanded along the coastal boun-daries of the continental United Stales. Approximately1,100 CAP members were trained in the Customs drugmission, and CAP now flies about half of the CustomsService surveillance/patrol flying hours. By the end ofDecember, CAP had flown 3,042 hours on 823 mis-sions.

MlLITARY TRAINING ROUTE SURVEYSCivil Air Patrol helps assure tbe safety of AirForce alrerew members by providing aircraft to surveymilitary low-level flight training routes for hazards andenvironmental factors. Established military trainingroutes allow military pilots to practice low-level bomb,airdrop, and reconnaissance missions. The routesselected- enable a realistic, yet safe mission to be flownwith the least possible environmental impact. The FAArequires an aerial visual survey LObe flown below 1,000feet; once down the center and once along each side.During 1987, 66 training route survey missions wereflown by CAP.

SENIOR MEMBER TRAININGFor any organization to be consistently successful,it must have dedicated leaders with well developedmanagement and leadership skills. This is particularlytrue of a volunteer organization such as Civil Air Patrolwhere the only pay received is th e satisfaction of havingcontr ibuted to a meaningful national service. To pro-vide these skills from a diverse membership of varied

education and skill levels, a strong and standardizedtraining program is an absolute necessity. Not only mustmembers be trained [0 support the cadet program,aerospace education, and the more exciting search andrescue mission, [hey must also be trained [0do theroutine day-to-day jobs. Senior members diligently trainthrough on-the-job and self study in 17 specialty trackssuch as personnel, logistics, finance, and administra-tion, which are fundamental to any successful organiza-tion.The senior Training Division at NationaJ Head-quarters identifies training needs and develops requiredprograms i 1 1 relation to the demonstrated and expresseddesires of CAP members to fulfill the purposes and ac-

complish the missions of Civil Air Patrol. The divisionstaff works with CAP members in the field at all levelsto develop curricula for courses to be conducted byCAP personnel. The CAP senior training program isorganized into five levels.

Staff School. Theannual CAPNetione! Staff College was con-ducted at Maxwell AFB, Alabama, on 2-8 August for 100 CAPsenior members. The curriculum included a cfTa(leng;ngworkout on "Project X", Which provides lessons In problemsolving, leadership, and teamwork. (Photo by George Wendt)

CAP CHAPLAINCYThe CAP chaplaincy, with over 1,000 men andwomen from over 125 religious denominations, offers aunique opportunity for clergy to perform their ministryin an ecumenical setting in the largest volunteer chaplainservice in the world. Volunteer civilian clergy providepastoral care, playing a significant role in the religiouslife and moral and spiritual values of Civil Air Patrol's

cadet and senior members. Through a ministry ofpresence, CAP chaplains impart an influence for goodand an opportunity for members to share with themtheir joys, frustrations, and aspirations in the service ofothers.Each chaplain is screened for professional com-petence and most receive ecclesiastical endorsementfrom his or her denomination. In addition, each is re-quired to be ordained, have a 4-year college degree, andthree years of seminary or its equivalent in professionalexperience. The CAP chaplain force is augmented bysome 250 visiting clergy who are not members but whogenerously assist with the cadet moral leadership train-ing programs in squadrons lacking a duly appointedchaplain.In addition to performing the essential role ofchaplain/personal counselor to each CAP member andthe professional religious functions such as services ODencampments and at memorial and patriotic obser-vances, the chaplain also provides a ministry of presencefor both victims and members who take part in

emergency or disaster relief operations. One of the mostcrucial areas of chaplain ministry is the moral leadershipprogram for cadets. In these discussions, cadets are con-fronted with the basic principles of freedol}1 and en,couraged to develop deep sensitivity and strong commit-ment to moral, spiritual, and patriotic values on whichthe integrity of our freedom in America is based andcontinues to thrive.Each year a new series of booklets is developedcontaining topics relevant to the problems bf today'syouth and subjects considered essential in developing abasic system of values for daily living. During thesemoral discussions, the cadets interact and become in-volved in raising moral issues, looking at inconsisten-cies, and avoiding forced conclusions. In the supportiveenvironment provided by a skillful chaplain, the cadetslearn who they are, their beliefs and values, and what in-fluence they wish to bring to the world in which theylive. The CAP chaplain, by offering supportive encour-agement and professional expertise, assists the caders toemerge from these moral leadership discussions betterprepared mentally and morally to face the challenges oftoday and the world of tomorrow. His goal always is tooffer an environment in which all CAP members are en-couraged, inspired, and assisted in their persona] andcollective moral and spiritual growth.

Air Force SupportThe basic Air Force support of Civil Air Patrol,authorized by the original CAP Supply Bill in 1948,continues to be of major importance to the organiza-tion. A primary element of that support was theestablishment and manning of Air Force liaison officesat national, regional, and state levelsof Civil Air Patrol.The interface of the Air Force liaison structure and CivilAir Patrol begins at the national level between Head-quarters CAP-USAF and National Headquarters CivilAir Patrol. The bridge between the Air Force and CivilAir Patrol exists through the CAP-USAF Commanderwho performs duties in a dual status. He commands all263 Air Force employees assigned to HeadquartersCAP-USAF and the 8 region and 52 wing liaison officeswho are charged with supporting the Civil Air Patrol.As a private citizen, he acts as the Executive Director ofthe Civil Air Patrol Corporation and is chartered underthe CAP Constitution and Bylaws responsibility tomanage the day-to-da-y activities of the corporation.30
