CIVIL AIR PATROLOffice of the National CommanderMaxwell Air Force Base, Alabama

To the Congress of the United States of AmericaOn behalf of the almost 53,000 citizen volunteers of Civil Air Patrol and as required by

Public Law 79-476, I proudly submit this 1996 CivilAir Patrol Annual Report to Congress,as a summary of the contributions and achievements of America's Air Force Auxiliaryduring fiscal year 1996.What began 55 years ago on December 1, 1941, as a civilian effort to augment America's

defenses, ha s become a multi-functional volunteer organization that serves America todaywith the same spirit of dedication and commitment. Since 1948, CAP has worked arm-in-arm with our Air Force partners and last year provided 86% of all inland search andrescue support tasked by the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center at Langley Air ForceBase, Virginia.In addition, CAP volunteer members repeatedly responded to calls from the Federal

Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and the American Red Cross when disasterstruck in the form of floods, hurricanes, forest fires or other natural and man-madedisasters. As always, they performed valiantly and selflessly with little thought for theirown comfort and well-being, spending endless hours away from family and jobs toserve their fellow Americans.Equally important was the work we did with the youth of America. CAP provided

an alternative lifestyle to drugs and teenage violence, thus giving thousands of youngpeople the opportunity to embrace the leadership roles of the 21st century with confi-dence and determination.This past year presented many memorable challenges and opportunities for CAP in all

three of our mission areas: Aerospace Education, Cadet Programs, and Emergency Services.Our 53,000 volunteers answered every challenge and met each opportunity with an un-paralleled strength of character.All of our contributions during fiscal year 1996 were made possible by an unshakable

partnership between CAP's volunteer members, our Air Force sponsors, and a supportive .Congress of the United States. Thank you for the privilege to serve this great nation and .for the opportunity to deliver this 1996 Civil Air Patrol Annual Report to Congress.

Search & Rescuen 1996, CAPaircraft, ground teams, and communications special-ists participated in 86% of all missions tasked by the Air ForceRescue Coordination Center at LangleyAir Force Base, Virginia. CivilAir Patrol is credited with saving 94 lives in fiscal year 1996.

To hasten CAPresponse during emergencies, board members adoptedthe 911-T program, which permits wing commanders to launch aircraft ordisperse ground teams on emergency missions using training missionnumbers. This avenue of mission funding enables CAPto react morequickly to state and local search and rescue needs.

In carrying out search and rescue missions during fiscal year 1996,CAPvolunteers flew5,531 sorties, logging in 13,083 flying hours in2,404 missions. In addition to 94 lives saved, volunteers were creditedwith 694 mission finds, many of which resulted from errant signals fromemergency locator transmitters. In order to maintain pilot proficiency,CAP aircrews logged 13,725 flying hours in training exercises.

CAPvolunteers are on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, toprovide search and rescue services to the Air Force Rescue Coordina-tion Center; the U.S. Coast Guard; rescue coordination centers inAlaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico; and state and local agencies. Missionsare initiated to locate missing aircraft, aid aircraft crash victims, searchfor missing persons, rescue people in distress, locate the source ofemergency locator transmitter signals, transport blood or organs, andtransport search and rescue dog teams.

Inall, CivilAir Patrol provided more than 3,700 flying hours andtens of thousands ofvolunteer man-hours in support of disaster-reliefoperations across the nation.

Civil Air Patrol leaders continue to strengthen ties with emergencymanagement and responder agencies. This past August, FEMADirectorJames Lee Witt, CAP, CAP-USAFand SAF-MIRofficials signed amemorandum of understanding between FEMAand CivilAir Patrol.With this signing, the Federal Emergency Management Agencyjoins theAmerican Red Cross, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA),theNational Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the Salvation Army,and state and local emergency management agencies in operationsagreements with CAP.

In this same vein, CAP is quickly implementing the Incident Com-mand System (ICS), a management tool that outlines procedures fororganizing personnel, facilities, equipment and communications atemergency operations centers. By the close of fiscal year 1996, morethan 50% of CAPwings were integrated into statewide ICS programs.

CAP ANNUAL REpORT TO CONGRESS 1996

Counterdrug Operationsivil Air Patrol provides its immense infrastructure to supportthe federal and state war on drugs. Over the past year, CAP

interdiction efforts assisted in confiscating or eradicatingmore than $2.4 billion in illegal drugs.

Each dollar appropriated to CAP for counterdrug operations preventsapproximately $680 of illegal drugs from reaching the streets of ourcommunities - a 680-to-l payback.

CAPprovides transportation, communications, reconnaissance, anderadication support for the Department of Defense, Drug EnforcementAdministration, U.S. Customs Service, U.S. Forest Service, and state andlocal law enforcement agencies. CAPhas been tasked to provide rapid-response reconnaissance for the Southwest border and to assist the FederalAviationAdministration in identifyingaircraft used in drug trafficking.

CAP supports these efforts with more than 5,000 volunteers, who gothrough a security check and training by either the U.S. CustomsService and/ or the Drug Enforcement Administration. Because CAP'sservices are provided by highly trained volunteers, the agency's costs areminimal and the return to the taxpayer is immense.

addition to CAP's immenselysuccessful efforts involvinginterdiction of illegal drugs,we are also involved in an

educational program to encourageAmerica's youth to remain drugfree. The program, led by volun-teers, is extremely cost effective,placing the limited funds CAPreceives for this effort where it willaccomplish the greatest good - inthe local communities.

The M i1tary Experie ceAP's Cadet Program has a strong impact on the youth ofAmerica, especially those with an interest in the military andin particular the U.S. Air Force. The Cadet Program providesthe training necessary to excel in the military and the

opportunity to apply it to real-life situations.The program is structured around five areas: leadership and manage-

ment techniques, moral and ethical principles of decision making,physical fitness, aerospace education, and community service. Youthwho participate in the Cadet Program are required to become familiarwith the U.S. Air Force.

CAP's Cadet Program provides the opportunity for youth from all overAmerica to learn about the many opportunities available in the U. S. AirForce and the aviation and space industries. Squadrons are often locatedat Air Force facilities. Local activities, often held on military bases, providea basic orientation about the day-to-day activities of a military facility.National activities provide an in-depth look into specific U. S. Air Forcecareer tracks.

CAPcontinues to be a leader in the number of applicants to each ofthe three primary service academies: Air Force Academy, West Point,and the Naval Academy. Air Force Academy cadets with CAP experienceenjoyed a 6% higher graduation rate overall than other cadets.

Academics & Scho arsAP's scholarship program teaches discipline and self-respect,is a cornerstone of the

cadet program. During1996 scholarships wereawarded to 46% of all cadets who

applied and met the criteria.Scholarships, designed to supportacademic and technical advance-ment for cadets, are for flighttraining and academic pursuits.

One of the year's greatestaccomplishments for cadets was atSpace Camp. The Space CampFoundation, which is the largestorganizer of aerospace educationalyouth camps, donated 104 scholar-ships valued at more than $80,000to CAP.These will be offered tocadets through a series of fiveAviation Challenge encampments atthe foundation's Huntsville, Ala.,complex during 1997.

CAP's middle-school initiative,an after-school program that

pscontinued to gain the interest andattention of educators and govern-ment leaders from coast to coastthroughout 1996.

In Florida, Governor LawtonChiles praised the Coral SpringsComposite Squadron's after-schoolprogram. InSouth Carolina, UnitedWaywas so impressed with theFlorence Composite Squadron'slocal middle-school initiative that adonation of $4,000 was awarded tothe program.InNewMexico, the initiative

received the support of the super-intendent ofAlbuquerque PublicSchools and a memorandum ofunderstanding between CAPandthe APSwill serve as a model forother programs in the state.Similar middle-school initiativeswere undertaken in Illinois, Mary-land, Texas and Washington, D.C.

Cad@t Activitiesith six new opportunities, cadet participation in CAPnational activities increased by an impressive 50% in1996, with more than 1,200 cadets participating at thenational level.

One of CAP'smost prestigious national activities is the InternationalAir Cadet Exchange (lACE).In July, 112 CAPcadets and escorts, dividedinto 17 groups and each group visited one of the 17 participatingcountries in Europe, Australia and the Pacific Rim. Their visit of 2'12weeks provided immersion into their host's culture. At the same time,118 foreign cadets and escorts traveled to the United States. ThroughlACE, youth from around the world came together. to promote interna-tional understanding, goodwill, and fellowship.

During 1996 the cadet flight orientation program provided more than6,000 flights to cadets. Through a series of five structured flight sessions,cadets are exposed to the general aviation environment. CAPadultvolunteer member pilots provided 90% of these flights in 1996. Otherswere provided by pilots in CAPpartner organizations.

of flight and aviation. The youngpeople fostered by GATeam 2000will ultimately lead the aviationindustry into the next millennium.

By special invitation, the CadetProgram participated in theSmithsonian National Air andSpace Museum's 20th anniversarycelebration. More than 100,000visitors toured the museum'sMilestones of Flight gallery duringthe four-day anniversary celebra-tion "YouCan Fly."

In the past year, the CadetProgram forged many new partner-ships, including relationships withthe National 4-H Aerospace Educa-tion Program, Experimental AircraftAssociation Young Eagles Program,Soaring Society ofAmerica, andSpace Camp Foundation.

Educator Supportn 1996 CAP's support to our nation's educators was far reaching.

CAP supported more than 125 graduate courses, workshops andin-services that touched more than 5,000 educators. Coursesincluded topics such as "Getting Comfortable Teaching Space" at

the U.S. Air Force Academy, "Curriculum Development InAerospaceEducation" at Metropolitan State College in Denver, and "Paper Air-planes, PCs and the Power of Flight" at Utah State University.

U. S. Air Force airlift support enabled hundreds of educators to visitaerospace sites such as the Kennedy and Johnson Space Centers, WrightLabs and Little Rock's Aerospace Education Center, returning home withmemories and stories to excite and inspire their students. For example, 50teachers from Alabama traveled to the Kennedy Space Center in the sum-mer of 1996 to observe a nighttime Shuttle launch.In 1996 CAP introduced Aerospace 2000, an expanded track for

cadets and adults to enhance CAP's internal Aerospace Educationmission. Aerospace 2000 provides dozens of hands-on examples ofaerospace applications.

Through CAP's internal aerospace education program, adult membersand corporate staff are prepared to teach aerospace topics in CAPunitsand local school systems, and in university courses and workshops.

Organizations that solicited Aerospace Education member support inthe past year include the National 4-H Aerospace Education Program,Florida International University, New Jersey Aerospace EducationTeachers, and the Prince George County Maryland schools.
