TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES

This report of Civil Air Patrol activities during its 35th year includes a reminder of the organization's beginning. From its origin as a crisis-born idea, Civil Air Patrol has progressed from anti-submarine patrol using an improvised bombsight 'rigged from 20 cents worth of hairpins, glass, and tin cans to present day search and rescue mission planning using satellite weather data and computer stored flight path data. CAP has remained vital because of its willingness to adapt and keep pace with changing requirements and technology.

As indicated by the cover photograph, we are proud of the assistance Civil Air Patrol has provided in motivating young people to seek careers in the United States Ail' Force. Over 1,400 former CAP cadets have entered the Air Force Academy since its establishment in 1955. We are also proud of the 96 former CAP cadets who are members of the 1980 class which entered the Academy in August. In addition to being the largest number of former CAP cadets in an entering class, the group also includes six of the first women to be admitted to the previously all-male institution.

Within are details of a few of the many .instances of GAP members assisting people in distress, CAP's work in developing aerospace education classroom material, and its leadership development programs for both its cadet and senior members.

It is a privilege to present this report of Civil Air Patrol activities during calendar year 1976 as required by Public Law 476.

SEARCllAND RESCUE

Responsibility for conducting search and rescue operations throughout the United States and its possessions is assigned to agencies designated by the National Search and Rescue Plan. The search and rescue mission is divided into the three regions of Inland, Maritime, and Overseas to prevent overlapping of responsibilities. The United States Air Force is assigned responsibility as search and rescue coordinator for the inland region of the United States. It discharges its responsibility through the Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Service (ARRS) of the Military Ail'j-ift Command. As the civilian auxiliary of the Air Force, Civil Air Patrol provides the primary resources available in fulfilling this responsibili ty.

During 1976, CAP flew 17.604 hours on search missions and was credited with locating 395 search objectives and saving 34 lives. Many other persons in distress, although not in immediate danger of losing their lives, were assisted by CAP search forces. Compared to 1975, CAP participated in 123 more missions and located 91 more search objectives, but flew 6,896 fewer hours. Major General Ralph S. Saunders, Commander of the Air Force. Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Service attributes this to the Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) which in many cases reduces the time required to locate a crash, the use of precise historical weather data which bas refined search areas, and an in-

crease in efficiency of CAP search forces through impr d management and search techniques.

The Civil Air Patrol coastal patrol mission. originally authorized as a 30-rl<ty experimen t. was discontinued on :n August IH43. ThE' progr~m had succeeded: offshore sea lanes weI'€' virtually free of lhe submarine menance and CAP had hought lime for huildup of the regular military forces, The toll to CAP during Lhp operation was 90 aircraft lost. 26 pilot."! and observers killed. and 7 8eriOllsly injured.

The ultimate tribute to the effectiveness of CAP's coastal palmi operation came many months laterand from the other side of the Atlantic. After the rT{'l'man surrender, one of Hitler's high ranking naval officers was asked why lhe Nazi Ll-Boats bad been withdrawn frum the United States coastal waterways early in 19-1:3, He answered that, ''II was because of those

The First Mission

Created in the dark days preceding the entry of the United Stales into World Wtll' Il, Civil Air Patrol served in various activi lips throughout the Well' years, Its first mission was to ad as a stop-gap force in combating enemy submarines operating in the shipping lanes along the coastlines of the Atlantic Ocean and Gulf of Mexico. This emergencv measure was necessary because Out' thinly spread naval forces and understrength military air forces were not adequate to tope with the submarine menance thai was sinking American. hips at an alarmingly increasing rate.

Operating out of 21 make-shift bases, rAP light aircraft flew 86,685 missions and a total of 2t-.l.GOO hours, or the equivalent of 24.000.000 miles during the eighteen months of the operation. The patrol reported l73 submarine sighting5 and dropped sa bombs on 57 of these, dE'iitl'oying two ami alerting Army and Navy bombers Lhat destroyed many others. CAP ai rcrews also summoned help for 91 vessels in distress and 3/13

CY ANJDE POISONING

Washington. A man in Toppenish, Washington was in critical condition after inhaling cyanide gas. At the request f the Poison Department of the Deaconess Hospital

pokane, a Washington CAP aircrew flew cyanide an 6- toxin from Spokane to Yakima where it was then delivered to Toppenish by a State Police vehicle in time to save the victim's life.

BLOOD AIRLIFT

Idaho. At the request of the Idaho State Police, Idaho CAP flew an emergency mission from Spokane, Washington to Bonner's Ferry, Idaho to deliver blood needed to treat a patient suffering from internal bleeding.

STRANDED BOATERS

Florida. At the request of the local county sheriff, Florida CAP conducted an air search for two persons missing overnight in an open boat with no survival equipment during weather condi tions of rain and freezing temperatures. Florida CAP located the missing boat aground on a shallow bank, one and one-half miles east. of Cocoa Beach. A Sheriffs Department boat recovered the couple to a Cocoa .Beach hospital.

AIRCRAFT CRASH

New Y ork, A New York CAP pilot was on approach to Westchester Airport behind a light aircraft with four people on board that crashed. The pilot immediately received an emergency locator transmitter (ELT) signal from the crashed aircraft. landed his aircraft, reported the crash to the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center and the State Police, and commenced organizing a ground rescue team. The State Police and CAP ground treams were directe the crash site by a U.S. Coast Guard aircraft equipped

a direction finder. Two persons were taken to a local hospital; one person was treated for minor injuries: and one deceased was turned over to local authorities.

Medical Mission. Nineteen-month-old Matthew was cared for by his mother, Mrs. Don Tweed, and Dr. P.L. Chipley during an emergency flight from Ashville, North Carolina to "the Emory University Medical Center near Atlanta, Georgia. Matthew suffers from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome and is one of only 40 survivors in the nation of the malady earnmanly known as "crib death." CAP Lt Co! Charles W. Dixon, Jr. and Dr. Chipley. who are both instrument rated pilots, completed the mission in spite of bad weather in both Ashville and Atlanta.

BROKEN THROIJGH res

Alaska. Anchorage Flight Service Station requested CAP assistance after a light ai reraft reported receiving a garbled Mayday message in the vicinity of Skewntna. Anchorage CAP conducted an area search; 'located the pilot; and through radio contact, learned that bis aircraft had broken through ice on landing and that he had no survival equipment. Due to dar _kness, an Air Force fIC130 aircraft dropped flares enabling an Air Force 003 helicopter to land and make the pickup. The pilot, who was suffering from frostbite, was recovered to Elmendorf Air Fore Base. Due to the extreme temperatures and inaccessibility of ~he area, a joint save was credited to Anchorage CAP and the 71st Ail' Force Aerospace Rescue and Recovery Squadron.

LO THlKERB

Oregon, Two teenage boys became overdue while hiking in the vicinity of Mt. Hood, with their last known position the Hood, River mountain side at the 500 foot level. At the request of the Hood River County Sheriff, Oregon CAP ground teams located the hikers during the evening of 1 February; but because of darkness, could n.ot complete the recovery until the morning of 2 February. The boys were returned in good condition tc their parents at the CAP base eamp.

AIRCRAFT CRASH

Texas. The family of a pilot became concerned and notified the Air Force Rescue Coordination Center of his overdue aircraft on a flight from Dallas to Humphrey, Texas. The downed aircraft was located by Texas CAP near Conroe, Texas; and the pilot, who was in good condition although suffering from broken bones and other minor injuries, was taken to a hospital in Conroe for treatment.

BLIZZARD RESCUE

Wyoming. In early January, a snow storm in the Cheyenne, Wyoming area interrupted normal ambulance service. Wyoming CAP, equipped with four-wheel drive vehicles, was requested to provide this vital emergency service. Duri ng a two day period, W yoming CAP was cred i ted with assisting 5'7 people in distress, including the saving of two lives and the delivery of a 5 lb. baby boy in an emergency vehicle enroute to a hospital.

MEDICAL ElfERGENCY

Idaho. A t the request of the Idaho State Police, an Idaho CAP aircraft delivered blood and surgicalinstruments from Sandpoint. Idaho to the Children's Ward of Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane, Washington. Idaho CAP was credited with a life saved because of the critical factor of delivering the blood and instruments in time for emergency surgery to be successful.

LOST HIKER

Oregon. At the request of the Hood River, Oregon Sheriff's Department, an Oregon CAP ground team searched for and located a missing hiker near Eagle Creek The. hiker, who bad fallen and broken his left shoulder, was taken to the hoop ita I at Gresham. Oregon.

ISASTER RELIEF

United States military forces are responsible for providing support to civil authorities in relieving the suffering of victims of floods. storms, fires. earthquakes and other catastrophes. Responsibility for coordinating Air Force participation in natural disaster relief operation has been delegated to Lhe three Air Force Reserve Regions (AFRR). Each Civil Air Patrol wing has entered into an agreement with its respective AFRR to make CAP personnel and resources available to assist in fulfilling this mission.

During 1976. CAP responded to 22 natural disasters in 16 states. with more than 1,175 CAP member mandays, supported by ai rcraft, radio networks, emergency power generators and emergency vehicles.

The following are examples of Air Force authorized Civil Air Patrol Disaster Relief missions extracted from official mission reports.

FLASH FLOOD

Colorado, A devastating flash flood occurred in the Big Thompson Canyon between Estes Park and Loveland, Colorado as a result of heavy rains in the early evening of 3 July 1976. A ten foot wall of water swept away permanent residences and equipment of hundreds of vacationers camped along the river that runs the length of the Big Thompson Canyon. Fifteen bridges spanning the river were also destroyed. The loss of life wa exceedingly high due to the large number of vacationers camped in the path of the

waters. Over 125 persons were killed and several bun-

d injured. CAP aircraft were used for aerial reeonnaissance and a CAP radio network provided emergency communications for other rescue forces in the disaster area where telephone communications had been interrupted by flood damage.

TORNADO

Indiana. A tornado struck the town of eymour, Indiana on 25 September 1976 causing heavy damage to the city airport and surrounding residential property. At the request of the city police chief. Indiana CAP members responded within minutes with mobile radios and generators for emergency Lighting of the area and assisted families in clearing debris and salvaging their property.

1 __ - Training Test. CAP Lt Col Betty Decker, Commandant of the California Wing Search and Rescue School, briefs Wing Commander Warren Barry on plans for a Wing Search and Rescue training exercise.

WINTER STORM

Nebraska. On the evening of 29 March 1976, a storm system with heavy snow mixed with rain and winds up to 55 MPH destroyed the power transmission system in south central Nebraska leaving a large area of the state virtually without power. At the request of the state Civil Defense Agency. Nebraska CAP assisted in the emergency with aerial reconnaissance, auxiliary power generators, and communications support. The original Civil Defense estimate that power and communications would be restored in ten days proved optimistic as it eventually took 20 days to repair the 1, 00 miles of damaged transmission lines. Throughout this period, CAP provided and operated 17 power generators. aided in refueling of vehicles, and provided mobile communications support for the Army National Guard and Sta te Ci vi 1 Defense Agency.

CAP FLYING CLINICS

The CAP Flying Clinic program was established to promote greater pilot proficiency and enhance the CAP flying safety record. The program is conducted in two phases: a ground _phase, which stresses principles and rules of flight. air traffic control procedures, weather. and other subjects related to professional and safe flight operations; and a flight phase, eonducted under the supervision of qualified flight instructors. which includes a practical, comprehensive review of flight maneuvers required to safely operate an aircraft.

Each CAP wing competes with other wings to achieve the highest percentage of attendance by member pilots. During 1976, 92 flight clinics were conducted which improved the pilot techniques and .safety consciousness of 1,421 Civil Air Patrol pilots.

COMMUNICA nONS

With its nationwide radio network, C.A.P continued to provide outstanding communications support in fulfilling its responsibility in search and rescue and during local emergency si tuations,

Modernization of equipment during the past ten years bas resulted in greatly improved reliability and effectiveness of CAP communications. The first phase for conversion of all high frequency radio communications from amplitude modulation to single sideband operation met with immediate popularity and stili continues to grow. Advantages are convenience of operation, and smaller and lighter weight radios which provide coverage over greater distances. Very high frequency, frequency modulation, types of equipment are currently being acquired at a faster rate because of the populari ty of extending the distances covered by operating compact, low-powered mobile sets and walkietalkie hand held units through repeater stations,

The Federal Communications Commission granted a waiver of the type acceptance requirements for the licensing of emergency locator transmitters (ELTs) on training frequencies. The licensing of ELTs will permit CAP to conduct training for both airborne and ground search teams by establishing prior coordination with the appropriate FAA Region Frequency Management Office. In the past, search and rescue training in direction finding techniques could only be conducted under special temporary Air Force authorizations issued for each exercise.

Aerospace Education

AEROSPACE EDUCATIONWORKSROPS

Aerospace education workshops, co-sponsored by Civil Ail' Patrol and various eollegesand universities throughout the nation, have provided graduate-level, credit-granting workshops for a number of years. One hundred ninety .such workshops benefitting approximatelv 10.000 teachers, wereconducted during 1976.

The long-range goal of the program is to develop aerospace education Leaders by motivating teachers, providing them with educational opportunities, and by instilling in them an enthusiasm to return to their communities and develop knowledge and awareness of aerospaee education, its significance and its benefits, in the citizenry of these communities .. There ate many avenues .of approach to the accomplishment of this mission and creative teachers may off.er courses or units in space events, aviation or in other related subjects or may add aerospace education as an enrichment factor to the regular courses taught. By using aerospace materials as teaching tools in conjunction with timely course material. student interest is captured. As oU1 oountry becomes more and more aerospace oriented, the benefits of such workshops as a means of keeping teachers informed of the latest events and developments in this fast-movi ng field are invaluable.

Civil Air Patrol'S" role in providing assistance, support, and guidance to these workshops is especially significant. Assistance is provided in the development of curriculum, the assignment of military reservists as teachers and in other support roles, and by seek-ing out and providing aerospace experts as teachers and speakers and, in some cases, by arranging air transportation to an aerospace site selected for its interest and significant contribution to the workshop curriculum.

AEROSPACE EDUCATION PLANS OF ACTION

Civil Air Patrol has increased its involvement in Aerospace Education by initiating a continuing program of each CAP wing developing a State Aerospace Education Plan of Action. These plans are developed jointly by the CAP Wing Aerospace Education staff and the State Department of Education f-or the purpose of CAP assisting in promoting and developing Aerospace Education statewide. Follow-on is provided to insure implementation of these plans of action and an evolution of additional plans.

~TIONAL CONGRESS ON AEROSPACE EDUCATION Five hundred aerospace education teachers hom across the nation attended the ninth annual National Congress on Aero pace Education held in April at the Stardust Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. Co-sponsored by Civil Alr Patrol, the National Aerospace Education Association, Federal Aviation Administration and National Aeronautics and Space Administration, the Congress provides a forum for teachers to meet with national level aerospace leaners from government, industry .and education. The purpose of the Congress is to promote aerospace education as an important part of the curriculum in schools and to develop grassroots aerospace leaders in local communities.

Featured speakers for the meeting included:

• Air Force Genera! Daniel 'Chapple" James, Jr., Commander in Chief. North American Ail' Defense Command (NORAD).

• Captain AI Brown, Director of Flyillg Training, American Airlines.

• Major General (USAF Ret.) Leigh Wade, the only 800'viving member of the first round-the-world flight in 1924..

SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND MATERIALS

Civil Ail' Patrol has assumed a Ieadershi prole in developing supplementary aerospace education classroom rnaterials. The most recent innovation has been single concept instructional packets. The packets consist of artwork panels for bulletin board display and task cards which relate the subject matter to all areas of the school curriculum. The materials are designed for a student center approach allow-

reer Counseling. CAP cadets attending the Annual Air . ce Academy Survival Course were counseled on academy admission requirements by Air Force Lt Col Richard K. Stephenson, Academy Liaison Officer. Current academy enrollment includes 268 former CAP cadets including six who were among the first worrrerr cadets to be admitted to the U.S. Service Academies.

Wisconsin Worksho.p. Civil Air Patrol supports approximately One hundred and ninety (90) aerospace education workshops conducted at colleges and universities throughout the nation each year. A unique workshop program is conducted annually at the University of Wisconsin-Stout at Menomonie under the direction of Dr. Charles Thomas. The workshop class composed of high school Industrial Arts teachers each year builds an experimental aircraft which is later displayed at the Experimental Aircraft Association Convention at Oshkosh. The 1976 project was a Sonerai II which looks much like -a miniature "Spitfire" and is powered by a converted Volkswagen engine capable of moving the aircraft through the sky at 150 miles an hour. A key leadership figure in the 1976 workshop was Bill Ghan whose Mansfield, Missouri high school students have built eleven aircraft to date. (Photo courtesy University of Wisconsin-Stout)

ing minimum teacher preparation and maximum student participation.

Now available to schools are packets in the Aerospace Personality Series on Amelia Earhart, Eddie Rickenbacker, Charles A. Lindbergh, Wilbur and Orville Wright, Brig Gen Billv Mitchell, Lt Gen James H. Doolittle, and General Daniel james, Jr. and the first in the Military Aerospace

eries which highlights the B-1 Bomber. General Aviation, Commerical. Aviation. and Space Exploration are the subjects of additional series now in the planning stages. Upon completion, each series will consist of six to ten packet" encornpassi ng a II aspects of the subject a rea.

Preliminary steps have been taken to develop a: common first-year curriculum for the Civil Air Patrol Cadet Pl'Ogram and Air Force Junior ROTC. The objective is- to have a mutually acceptable curriculum that will reduce duplication, which hopefully will result in significant manhour and monetary sa vings to the All' Force.

The Cadet Program

THE STRUCTURED PROGRAM

The Civil Air Patrol cadet program is designed to provide personal development in today's aerospace environment. Open to young Americans from the seventh grade to age 18, it provides opportunities for learning, maturing, and partaking in the responsibilities of our society under the guidance of enlightened adult citizens. With advice and assistance .from the United States Air Force, the Air Force Reserve, and CAP senior members at the national, regional, state and local levels, cadets are exposed to a structured program of aerospace education, leadership, physical fitness moral and ethical values in group and individual acti vi ti es ..

As a cadet progresses through this structured program, he or she accomplishes a series of 15 achievements, each involving study and performance in the five program areas. Upon completion of each achievement, the cadet earns increased cadet rank decorations, awards, eligibility for national special activities, and an opportunity for scholarships and grants. The grass roots cadet unit is the hometown or neighborhood squadron, where cadets develop and. advance under the leadership and guidance of dedicated CAP senior members.

Summers SOSl'"s. Cadet Wanita Summers of Alabama's Gadsden Composite Squadron participated in the Alabama Wing Cadet Soaring Orientation program held" at the Flying X Ranch near Birmingham. The rear seat instructor is Jim House of the Birmingham Senior Squadron.

Flight Training. Various flight tralning opportunities are available to CAP cadets. They range from the National Solo Powered Flight Scholarship Program to locally conducted programs such as the Pennsylvania Wing Glider encampment at the Hilltown gliderport.Eleven cadets, age 14 to 17, eamed glider solo wings after -'2.mpleting ground school and passing the FAA examinati~ Each cadet received three flights per day of 15rn1:!-liN to an hour in duration during the two-week prog, .. ~~ .The cadets unanimously agreed that despite their feather-weight and vulnerability to damage on the grouno, gliders are unbelievably strong and safe once airborne.

EAT Program. National Emergency Assistance Training (NEAT) is <:1 new program consisting of one-week courses conducted at various sites throuqhout the country. The program prepares cadets to functlcn as members of CAP ground search and rescue tea ms. A forerunner of the national N EAT progra m - has been the Psnnsvlva nia Wing Ra nger Prog ram co nducted for the past 22 years at the wing's Hawk Mountain facility, The Pennsylvania proqrarn consists of Winler Survival and Summer Ranger Schools. The schools were attended by several hundred CAP members from Pennsylvania and adjoining states during 1976. The rigorous training is reinforced QY a strict testing system and special recognition and awards for each level of achlevemerrte The Pennsvlvania program is tfie keystone of the new national program for CAP cadets.

Cadet Encampments. Each year several thousand CAP cadets attend encampments held on Air Force Bases and other military service facilities throughout the United States and Puerto Rico. The program gives cadets a firsthand look at the military lifestyle and provides practical experience and information on military career opportunities. The highly successful encampment hosted by Chanute Air Force Base for 170 Illinois CA P cadets was the result of good planning, excellent Air Force Base support and the sincere personal interest and involvement of responsible Air Force personnel. Chanute is an Air Training Command base and as such trains personnel to service Air Force equipment throughout the world. The CAP encampment program included visits to the various technical training schools and

ilpment shops and a briefing on each the Air Force major commands. In addition to the Illinois encampment, Chanute hosted sirnilier programs for Nebraska, Iowa, Kentucky, and Indiana CAP cadets. (Photo by Dennis Biela)

INTERNATIONAL Am CADET EXCHANGE (fACE)

Conceived in 1946 by the Ail' Cadet League of Canada and the Air Training Corps of Great Britain, the first lACE was conducted in 1947 wi th the assistance of the Royal Air Force and the Royal Canadian Air Force. Civil Air Patrol entered the exchange in 1948, with the assistance of the U Air Force. The program has grown over the years, having involved some 40 countries at one time or another.

The purpose of the IA E is to foster interna ional understanding. goodwill and friendship among young people having a common interest in aviation. To this end, an annual, three-week exchange of cadets is conducted by Ci vil Air Patrol and other organizations such as national aero clubs, national air cadet organ izati ons, and national all' "force academies. These partici pating organizations sponsor and provide the cadets with sightseeing, tours of aerospace industries and museums, visits to airports and air force installations. orientation and training nights. in gliders and powered light airplanes and visits in host-country family homes. Airlift of participating cadets to, from and within each country is provided by the various national ail' forces.

During 1976, U)7 CAP cadets and 22 senior member escorts were exchanged with the 13 other lACE member nations and seven countries in the East Asia/Pacific area. Annual exchanges with lhelle latter. nonmember counfries lire arranged and concluded bilaterally by Civil Air Patrol under the same rules and format and in coniunetion with the regular lACE program. Civil Air Patrol and U. Air Force officers participa ed in the 1976 lACE Planning Conferenee in Lucerne, witzerland, to plan the next year's exchange between the lACE-member nations.

Heroic Action. Cadet Thomas R. Peoples I3f Virginia's Monticello Composite Squadron was presented the Crvil Air Patrol Medal of Valor by Senator Harry F. Byrd, Jr. in recognition of his actions following an aircraft accident in 1975. During a practice search mission, an aircraft carrying Thomas and another cadet observer, the pilot and a senior observer crashed into the side of a mountain in the Shenandoah National Park. Thomas escaped from the aircraft and unsuccessfully attempted to ex· tinguish the burning engine. He then re-entered the burning aircraft and removed the cadet observer who had suffered a broken back. The pilot, although injured. smashed his way through the windshield to safety -the senior member observer had been killed on impact. Thomas left the injured survi v

in the care of hikers who happened on the scene and went help. The highest CAP award for heroic action was awarded to Thomas in recognition of his Quick thinking and selfless concem for his fellowman.

Honor Cadet. Air Force Academy Cadet William E. Hoban, Jr. was named to the CAP 25-year Honor Roll as the former CAP cadet to gradute highest In order of merit in the class of 1976. William is a former member of the Vandenberg CAP Squadron 101 of the California Wing. The award was presented by Brigadier General Stanley C. Beck (Left), Air Force Academy Commandant of Cadets and Brigadier General Carl S. Miller, Commander CAP-USAF and Executive Director of Civil Air Patrol.

CADET ENCAMPMENTS

The first major award within the cadet program is the neral Billy Mitchell Award. To earn this award, each .det must attend a Civil Air Patrol encampment, in addi-

Ion to fulf 11 ing a J I requ irements of the first seven of the 15 structured achievements. Encampments are conducted annually by each state CAP wing at local US Air Force bases, or at other community, state, or national facilities. Cadets who earn the Mitchell Award become eligible for more advanced special activities and automatically earn the grade of Airman (&-2), should they choose to enlist in the Ail- Force. However, the most noteworthy aspect of the. CAP encampment is its impact upon the cadets' future lives. In most cases, this is their first exposure to the everyday excitement and challenge of the aerospace world. In 1976, well over-7,OOO CAP cadets and 1,000 CAP senior members attended encampments at 45 DOD facilities. In addition, 29 cadets observed. and assisted with the Experimental Aircraft Association's annual fly-in at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, and 537 received national emergency assistance training at 5 schools located throughout the US which were conducted by CAP senior personnel,

CADET FLIGHT TRAINING

During 1976, the Civil Air Patrol Corporation provided $40,000 for its cadet solo/flight orientation program. A total of 104 solo scholarships of $240.00 eacb were provided to the 52 wings. Each scholarship provides the recipient with the necessary ground school and flight training leadingto solo qualification. Distribution of the scholarships was based. upon CAP wing cadet recruiting performance during

75, with a maximum of three scholarships provided for

ny one wing. In addition, approximately 3,000 cadets received their first orientation flight. For their efforts in supporting this part of the program. CAP wings were partially reimbursed for each first orientation flight provided.

Association With Other Organizations

The success of a nonprofit service organization is realized through dedicated volunteers who contribute their time and resources in support of worthwhile objectives. Also, separate organizations sometimes unite in support of common interests. CAP's association with other organizations range from the international to the community level; from the Air Cadet League of Canada cooperating in the International Air Cadet. Exchange to the local Salvation Army disaster unit cooperating in providing relief to the victims of a natural disaster. Civil Air Patrol's foremost affiliation is with the United tates Air Force.

FAA CAP Cooperation. An example of the relationship between the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and Civil Air Patrol (CAP) was made public by the 23 November release of a new FAA study of general aviation activity conducted jointly by the two organiz-ations. The study was based on data collected by almost 1,000 CAP members in a two-day survey at 245 airports throughout the country where they painstakingly recorded 35,000 aircraft take-offs and landings and interviewed 7,800 pilots. FAA Administrator, Dr. John L. McLucas remarked that CAP's work in collecting this valuable safety research ioformation merits the appreciation of the entire flying community.

AFROTCSupport. William Surratt (Right) is a [unior at California State Polytechnic University and commutes to the Universirv of Southern California to take AFROTC courses. With more than 400 hours of flying time, William is an instructor pilot, teaching fundamentals to Cadet Michael D. Ulestad and other members of the Norton Air Force Base Composite Squadron. AFROTC detachments are involved with CAP at a number of campuses, using college facilities to instruct courses in aerospace studies including flight instruction and navigation.

Am CADET LEAGUE OF CANADA.

As a strong supporter of and an active participant in the International Air Cadet Exchange program for the past 29 years. Civil Air Patrol has established good working relations with similiar organizations in many countries. A particularly close relationship has developed between CAP and the Air Cadet League of Canada since the first exchange between the two organizations in 194 . A mutual interest in aviation and youth development is the basis of this association.

SAL V AnON ARMY.

A Statement of Cooperation developed jointly by CAP and the Salvation Army in 1973 has proven to be mutually beneficial to the two organizations in their common objective of assisting persons in need as a result of natural disasters.

VETERANS OF FOREIGN WARS (VFW).

As a result of liaison between the VFW and CAP at the national level, VFW posts sponsor and assist CAP cadet squadrons at the community level. CAP appreciates the continued VFW support of its activities.

FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION (FAA).

The FAA assists in all three of CAP's mission areas. ~ FAA Orientation Program is conducted each year at v:

Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma ity, FAA-sponsor flight clinics conducted throughout. the country are well attended by CAP pilots. FAA and CAP cooperate in sponsoring many aero pace education projects, including the National Congress on Aerospace Education. CAP cadets have provided valuable assistance to FAA in its national surveys of general aviation activity. In the latest two-day survey, almost 1,000 cadets painstakenly recorded 35,000 aircraft take-offs and landings and interviewed 7.800 pilots at 245 randomly selected airports in aU 50 states and Puerto Rico.

OPTIMIST INTERNATIONAL.

The Optimist International urges Optimists Clubs throughout the nation to extend and enrich their services to their communities by sponsoring Civil Air Patrol Cadet Squadrons.

AlA FORCE BASE

The Air Force Chief of Staff, General David C.

Jones, has encouraged Air Force base and unit support of Civil Air Patrol, stating, "The Civil Air Patrol has contributed significantly to the Air Force rnlsslon, therefore, a close association with individual CAP units and renewed emphasis on support ot CAP programs by the total force Is considered appropriate."

In early 1976, the 355th Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW), Davls·Monthan Air Force Base, Arizona. commanded by Brig Gen William O. Curry, Jr., began sponsoring a local CAP cadet unit The 354th Tactical Fighter Squadron (TFS) was designated as host for the unit which was redesignated as the 355th CAP Cadet Squadron. The 354th TFS Commander, Lt Col E.E. GUillot, assumed the role of CAP Aerospace Education and Activities Officer and other Air Force personnel assumed similar leadership positions in the cadet unit. The unit quickly grew from 12 to 70 cadets under Its new sponsorship. Meeting in the environment of the fighter unit and assoclatlng with active duty Air Force personnel provided the cadets with strong motivation to cornpete and excel In the program.

enthusiasm of the cadets was further height· ened by orientation flights In HH·IH Huey Heli· copters, C-130, KC-97, T-33, and Cessna 172 alrcraft and activ'itles such as visits to the Air Force Academy, Luke Air Force Base fOT familiarization with the F-4 and F·15 aircraft, and the Gila Bend Gunnery Range to observe bombing and gunnery practice. During a special three-week program in July, cadets were permitted to actually perform Air Force jobs In maintenance, operations, administration and medical fields under the supervision of Qualified USAF personnel.

The association of the US Air Force with its clviUan auxiliary, Civil Air Patrol, is ideally axernplified In the mutually supportive and cooperative splrlt of the Joint Air Force/CAP program at oavls-Monthan Air Force Base.

INTERNATIONAL AIR CADET EXCHANGE(IACE)

With the assistance of the US Air Force, the Civil Air Patrol entered Ihe Intemational Air Cadet Exchange (lACE) In 1948 and has participated annually since. The program has grown and developed over the years and at Its peak involved as many as forty countries. The 1976 exchange was participated In by twenty-one nations with 219 CAP cadets and senior escorts enjoying a three-week visit In one of the20 other participating countries while a like number from those countries visited the United States.

The United States phase of the exchange was nationwide In scope, extending from New York to California with CAP cadets In 24 states serving as hosts for separate COntingents of visiting cadets. Upon arrival in Washington, the foreign cadets were treated to a lour of the capitol before traveling to different areas of the country where they lived Tn the homes of CAP host families. Following a busy schedule of sightseeing, tours of aerospace facilities, orientation flights, and social activities, the visiting cadets were regrouped In New York for a lour of the city before departing for home.

AI Its origin, Ihe purpose of the lACE was 10 promote InlernaHonal understanding, goodwill and friendship among young people having a common Interest in aviation. Thai objective is as meanlngfulloday as rt was In 1948. Realization 01 the lACE objectlva Is reflected In the faces of the young American and English cadets in Necw YOrk and the young women from SweDen and their CAP cadel hosts In San Diego.

Senior Member Training

In its 1946 act to incorporate Civil Air Patrol, Congress decreed that an objective of the corporation would be "to provide aviation education and training, especially for its senior and cadet members." Additional legislation in 1948 made CAP a volunteer civilian auxiliary of the Air Force and authorized the Air Force to use the services of CAP in fulfilling.its noncombatant mission. This greatly broadened the scope of the CAP mission along with a corresponding increasejn the requirement for CAP to train its own members.

A training program was required for the functional skills needed for routine administration of the organization as well as the specialized skills required for fulfilling CAP's missions of Cadet Training, Aerospace Education. and Emergency Services. Because of the volunteer nature of the organization, turn-over in membership and changing mission requirements, the. development of the CAP Senior Member Training Program has been a continuous process which is still evolving, Currently the program encompasses the following phases.

THE STRUCTURED PROGRAM

The Senior Member Training Program is structured to present an orderly progression of training whereby each member may acquire an overall knowledge of the organization, learn specific duty skills and prepare for leadership positions,

Entry-Level I, All members, upon joining, are required to attend a Level I Training Clinic which provides basic knowledge of the functions, relationships, and responsibilities of both the organization and its members. The program includes orientation on uniferrns, organization. customs. history and the mission of Civil Air Patrol.

Staff College, The Ninth Annual CAP National Staff College was conducted at Maxwell AFB, Alabama during June with 152 CAP staff officers attending. The week~long course covered subjects designed to upgrade CAP leadership and management at all echelons of the organization.

• Skill Acquisition-Level II. After completing Level I. members then enter Level II for job specialty training. They may select a specialty compatible with their interests and capabilities and unit manning needs. Study material is available for each of the nineteen separate specialty areas and members may also enroU in an optional Air Foroe Extension Course Institute (ECl) CAP Officer Course.

• Command and Staff-Level III. Training for commanders and staff officers is a continuous learning process because of the varied duties of those positions. Prerequisite training includes attendance at a staff college and a nationally approved course such as the National Search and Rescue School. The remainder of the training requires self study and selective reading.

Project X. Civil Air Patrol annually conducts the National Staff College at Maxwell Air Force Base, Alabama to provide management training for approximately 200 senior members ho.lding CAP leadership positions. The course curriculum includes a challenging problem-solving exercise called Project X, which is a standard requirement for USAF Squadron Officer School classes. The Project X facilities encompass eighteen problemsolving situations designed to test teamwork in finding solutions through use of limited resources and individual initiative. The challenges of the exercise brings to the forefront natural leaders within the group.

STAFF COLLEGES.

These week-long leadership development courses include training in communicative skills. leadership and management, staff organization, and problem solving which is accomplished through a program of 1 ectures , seminars, and nationally recognized guest speakers. Two additional courses were added in 1976 as part of a plan to regionalize activities to reduce travel time and expense for attendees and to provide an opportunity for attendance by a larger number of members. Staff Colleges were conducted during 1976 atthe following locations:

• National Staff College at Maxwell Air Force Base, AJabama with 152 in attendance.

• Eastern Staff College at Randolph-Macon College, As - land, Vi rgin ia with 65 a ttendi ng.

• Central Staff College at Texas tate Technical Instinl , WaC"O, Texas for 41 students.

• Western Staff College at Uni versi ty of Portland, Portland, Oregon with 24 in attendance.

PECIALIZED MISSION TRAINING.

Numerous community level s-pecialized training progt'<1m~. such as those conducted by the Reo Cross and local Civil Defen!>€' Agencies. are available to CAP senior mernhers as wel I as national program such as:

• National Search and Re Cue (SAR) School. The a-

The rourses to provide mission cnord i na tor 'traini ng to persons invoked in tIlE:' inland search and rescue mission were attended hy :~15 CAP senior members in 197().

• Flying Clinics. Flight dink training consists of both gr(\und school and nip:hL maneuvers designed to improve pilot proficiencv and enhance flying' safety. Clinics conducted either by CAP or outside agencies such as FAA at various lorntions within the eight AP regions were attended by 1.'12] CAP pilot during HJ76.

• Communications School. The CAP Northeast Region ('nnduc,t::; a communieatinns school at Kutztown State College, Kutztown, Pennsylvania, that is open to both senior and cadet members, The specialized training in communicaI ions techniques and procedures, designed to qual ify attendee]'. for CAP Communications Officer positions. wa attended by Rl cadet and senior members in 197(i

MISSION TRAINlNG EXERCISES.

Each CA P wing conducts Emergency. ervices training and llj')lll'udin~ programs throughout Ihe year to improve til the skill. of individual members and the effectiveness the entire organizatirm as a learn. Also. each wing annually undergoes one Civil Defense and two Search and Rescue test exercises under the scrutiny of Air Force evaluajurs. The purpo .. <;e of the tests are to determine the

effectiveness of CAP wing training programs and wing capability to respond and satisfactorily execute any mission it may be called upon to perform. A valuable side benefit of the test exercises is training gained through the opportunity provided to practice mission skills under realistic condi tions,

HOME STUDY

The fact that ivil Air Patrol is a volunteer organization noes not lessen its respom ibility to the public to carry out its missions in a professional mannei .. Because bf this responsibility, many CAP members devote- much of Lheir time to self development through home study. Various opportunities are available for home study training, among which are:

• Extension Course Institute (ECI). Ecr is the conespondeuce school of the Air Force and is open to CAP members without charge. E"r courses in general military training and specialized fields such as communications are especially beneficial to CAP members.

• National Defense University. The National Defense University offers a gradua le level correspondence course on "National Security Management" to executive level CAP members who rnset education and grade requirements.

• Defense Civil Preparedness Agency (DCP A). The DCPA • taff Cnllege makes COUl'1'le~ Oil U ivil Defense U A" and "Introduction to Radiological Monitoring" available Lo aJJ CAP members fOI' 110me study .

Commander's Course. New Jersey Wing members Donald L. Kaiser (Left) and Edward E. Gordon review the curriculum of the Nartheast Region Commanders Course conducted at McGuire AFB, New Jersey. The first-of-its-kind sclrcol was attended by 30 CAP members from all wings within the region. The special training program was astabliahed to prepare individuals to assume the responsibilities of unit command.

CAP Chaplaincy

The men and women who serve as CAP chaplains continue to provide an energetic. innovative, eeumenical, and professional ministry to more than 60,000 cadet and senior members of the Civil Air Patrol. They enter this special appointment at their own request, with permission of thei r local or regional church superiors, and through the denominational endorsement of their church's national commission on chaplains. CAP's 1.002 chaplains are augmented by nearly 350 visiting clergy who serve local squadrons without membership in the organization. These visiting ministers, priests, and rabbis conducted the cadet Moral Leadership Training Program in the absence of a duly appointed chaplain. A CAP chaplain participates in a team ministry with clergy of many denominations. Mutual respect for one another's convictions encourages continuous cooperation and assistance among chaplains. This practical. grassroots ecumenism increases understanding, respect, and a unique camaraderie among chaplains and the persons they serve. It highlights within the community a. strong, positive image of religion in action. As a. key member of the CAP unit commander's staff, the chaplain provides a continuing ministry through the Moral Leadership Training Program, professional functions, personal counseling. worship services, and as an important liaison between the CAP unit and the member's church. home, and community.

Support For Civil Air Patrol

OCCUPANCY OF DOD FACILITIES

The use of Department of Defense (DOD) facilities offers some financial relief to Civil Ail' Patrol and provides for maximum utilization of the facilities. Civil Ail' Patrol units occupied 420,900 square feet of DOD building and office space at 142 locations as of December 1976. This is an increase from 1975, but still accommodates less than 10 percent of the Civil Air Patrol units which require better facilities. With the reduction in DOD real property, there is even less opportunity for CAP to utilize DOD facilities. Immediate relief could be achieved with enactment. of the proposed amendment to the AP Supply Bill, HR 5828, Civil Air Patrol units would then be authorized to utilize the services and facilities of other federaJ departments or agencies in addition to current authorization that applies just to DOD-property.

PROPOSED AMENDMENT OF CAP SUPPLY B1LL (10 USC 9441)

A propos.ed amendment to ection 944.1. Title 10, USC (The CAP upply Bill) was introduced in Congress on 9 April 1975 as HR 5828. The proposed legislation included provisions that would have required additional funding and therefore was not indorsed by the Executive Branch because of a policy to avoid increased funding authorizations. AP agreed to the deletion of those sections of the

posal that would have required additional funding and . reby reduced the proposal to a sim-ple request for increased logistical support.

CAP is currently authorized to acquire Department of Defense (DOD) excess property and to use excess DOD real estate and facilities. However, because of built-in restrictions, AP's low priority, and DOD interpretation of the law, mission support resources that may be acquired by

AP under the current authorization have been severely limited,

In the interest of maintaining its emergency services capability and continuing its other public service programs in youth development and aerospace educa tion, Civil Ai r Patrol is hopeful that the CAP Supply Bill can be expanded to:

• A uihorize the. USAF to acq1tire .fOT CAP u.~e, (l!l:cess jedr>ml civil age'71cy pmperty from Genetal Sennce« AdminL<;tmti(m (GSA) sources. This would include tnuamotiue

AIRLIFT SUPPORT

During 1976 the Civil Air Patrol was supported with military airlift provided by many military units and organizations of the Military Airlift, Command (MAC), Air Force Reserve (AFRES). and the Air National GURnl ANG), To enhance utilization of military airlift resources, a concerted effort was made by AP to regionalize all cadet summer activities and, where possible, senior member activities. This regiona.lizaticn of CAP activities. along with scheduling a single airlift pickup point in each insured maximum and effi ci en t use of the a vai lable ai rl ift resources .

DOD EXCESS PROPERTY

Civil Air Patrol is authorized by Public Law 557 to obtain equipment and supplies that areexcess to the Department of Defense. Property acquired during 1976 included aircraft, vehicles. communications equipment. office equipment, and related supplies, with an estimated value of $1,500,000: The estimated value is 20 percent, or one-fifth, of the orginal cost to DOD, Property acquired is normally used extensively by the active forces before it is declared excess due to strict fiscal policies within DOD.
