    attributed to the training each member

    must go through before he or she canparticipate in these activities. Pilots,observers, and ground team members allundergo intensive training to ensure thatthey are proficient inthe demandingskills required to perform these mis-sions.CAPflying hours for 1995 were as fol-

    Search &RescueThe CivilAir Patrol IS the primary

    provider of search and rescue resourcesillthe United States.Operating under agreement with the

    Air Force Rescue Coordination Center(AFRCC).CAPresources significantlystrengthen state and local search and res-cue capabilities. Infact CAPparticipatedin87% of all AFRCCmissions tasked in1995.Eighty percent of all AFRCC missionactivity searches are the result of

    Emergency Locator Transmitters (ELTJsearches. ELTs have a 97% false alarmrate which is of great concern to CAP asthey continue to work with other agenciesto explore more efficient and accuratemethods oflocaling downed aircraft.

    During 1995, 48 volunteers from CAPunits across the country attended week-long courses sponsored by the NationalSearch and Rescue School. This combinedU.S. Air Force and U.S. Coast Guard spon-sored course provides a joint trainingopportunity in which selected military andlocal law enforcement offtcials and other

    Civilian and government rescue/emer-gency personnel can analyze actual andpotential search and rescue situation.Disaster ReliefCivilAir Patrol provided stgntficant

    resources and assistance under mutualsupport agreements to numerous disasterrelief and humanitarian organizations,such as the American Red Cross.
